Reinstall of 10.2.8 failed

Attempting to reinstall 10.2.8 using the 10.2.8 Combined Update, presently at 10.2. The install fails. I did run Disk First Aid before hand.
The following is from the install log: " ...Error detected
Name: NSRangeException
Reason: * -[NSCFArray objectAtIndex:]: index (0) beyond bounds (0)...".
Any direction greatly appreciated.
Thanks

JPFin,
I'm glad I was able to help with something I just learned just in the last week from this terrific community of Posters. It looks like just a labor of love, reminding me of sacramental grace. I'm a recent poster and my expertise has qualified me mostly as a receiver vs. a giver. So I feel good when I'm able to perhaps start giving something back to the Forum.

    Check your Windows settings along this contribution from Chrism0:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16568477#16568477
    Also check that the ports 5353 and 5354 (Bonjour (mDNSResponder), AirPlay, Home Sharing, Printer Discovery) are open on Windows Firewall.

  • Old FileVault crashed my MacBook Pro, had to delete, reinstall and Time Machine restore failed. Trying to manually rebuild. No iPhoto pics, no iTunes music and NO DOCUMENTS found! Any thoughts?

    Here's the ordeal. I'm running a 2007 MacBook Pro 17 inch with Lion OS. When I converted to Lion, I didn't have enough room on my harddrive to convert to the new FileVault, so I remained on the old system. Less than a week ago I reboot my computer because iPhoto seems to be stuck on "cataloging" my photos, though after days of letting it run, it doesn't do anything. After the reboot, my computer appears as if it had been reset to factory settings with all my programs gone, etc. I'm like, hey, I've got Time Machine, I'll restore it. After the restore is run, when I go to login, I get the dreadful error message, "You are unable to log into the FileVault user "John" at this time. Logging into the account failed because an error occurred". I searched the internet via my iPhone for suggestions and followed everyone of them, all the way down to erasing my harddrive and reinstalling Lion. So I get back into my computer and think I'm golden. I go to restore my computer via Time Machine and wham....I'm right back to that error message. I think, ok, I'll do it again. This time it messes us even more, giving me two login screens, one for the new Lion like before I restored the computer and then a second, as if it were restored, but unable to login. On top of that, I couldn't get back to the Command-R page! I thought I was really screwed! Well, I finally figured a way back, or maybe it was just that it finally decided to cooperate, I don't know, but I erased my harddrive again, and reinstalled again and thought, well, I'll rebuild manually by selecting what I want to restore from the Time Machine drive. I was able to get all my applications back and running, but to my dismay, I seemingly have lost all my iTunes music (except that which Apple has graciously setup to redownload now "thank you!) plus all my iPhoto's and even worse, all my DOCUMENTS!!!! Here I thought Time Machine from backing all this stuff up, but with over a years worth of back-ups I cannot locate any photos, music, or my documents on my drive to extract! Needless to say, I will never be using Time Machine again to back up my computer, I'll find another program or at least do it all manually. But my question is: am I looking in the wrong places for this files? Are they hidden under some unknowning folder that doesn't list it as music, photos or files? I can manage with the music, I can live with the photos because my wife has many of them on her computer and I have many uploaded to Facebook, but my files! My documents, thousands of them, many with information I won't be able to compile again, seemingly gone unless someone out there has any ideas?!!!
    I even had iPhoto search the drive for photos and after hours of the barber shop pole spinning I cancelled the command for I figured it wasn't going to find anything.
    If anyone has any suggestions, or if Apple, you are reading this and can provide some direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
    That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
    ... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
    If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
    Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

  • Getting an error message when trying to reinstall iTunes - 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services.

    After a recent iTunes update my iTunes failed to start. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again, but during installation an error message pops up saying: 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services. The three option buttons which can be clicked are 'Abort', 'Retry' and 'Ignore'. I tried pressing ignore, which allowed iTunes to install. However, it seemed that not all parts off the programme installed, as it wouldn't allow me to open iTunes again. Whenever I press retry it just makes the same message pop up again. How can I show that I have 'sufficient privileges'?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • HT1926 Routine update of iTunes failed. Eventually had to uninstall and reinstall iTunes x2. Installation failed with message 'Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    Hi,
    When I tried to install iTunes update this failed, then tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes twice. Failed again. Could not open iTunes. I use an HP PC. Even tried to disable Macafee firewall, still itunes failed to install. Please help!!

    Followed these instructions with a few changes. (Windows 7 x64)
    Uninstalled programs in the following order:
    - Itunes
    - Apple Application Support
    - Apple Software Update
    - Bonjour
    - Apple Mobile Device Support (uninstall failed due to Apple Mobile Device failure)***
    - Restarted System
    - Redownloaded Itunes from website.
    - Run installer as Administratot
    - Succefully installed
    ***To uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support
    - Right clicked on Apple Mobile Device Support, Clicked Charge (second option), Repair, Next (failed to repari)
    - Right clicked the Apple Mobile Device Support in the Programs and Features window and clicked Repair (third option in drop down list). (repaired successfully)
    - Uninstall successful after the repair.
    Below is a guess at a quicker solution:
    Looking at the uninstalls, it may be worth trying to repair the Apple Mobile Device Support through the Program and Features window before trying to uninstall everything.  It may be a faster fix for the freezing service.  After the repair is successful the itunes update may work.
    Hope this helps.

    I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
    Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
    Error 1053  The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
    Can anyone please help?

  • Can't reinstall CS3.  "All Components Fail to Install"

    I had been running CS3 on Windows Vista 32. First received, out of the blue, the dreaded error that licensing had stopped working.  Was not able to rectify by the long list of ususual means.  Finally was instructed by adobe tech support to uninstall CS3 and reinstall.  Uninstall apparently successful (confirmed with Microsoft Fixit Tool that did find and fix some registry errors).  Can't reinstall CS3 either from DVD or from desktop.  Receive status report after install script finishes:  "All Components Failed to Install."  I have spent over 23 hours on this problem to no avail.  PLEASE HELP!

    Thanks for the reply, but I did all that already.  After much research and seeing what's worked for others, below is a rundown of what I've already tried...  (much of my process below came from http://na-na-sa-ra.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-re-install-adobe-cs3-after.html which I too had found and had hoped would help.)
    After attempting to uninstall CS3 from the control panel, I ran the Adobe CS3-5 cleaner, numerous times selecting various listed options during the script run.  After running each time, I ran the MS Fixit tool (http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall) that reportedly will "fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled".   After each run of the MS Fixit tool, I attempted to reinstall CS3 - the install script would run for a good long while, showing (slow) progression of a status bar, but in the end give a status report saying that all components failed to install.  Even though complete installation failed, Adobe CS3 would be on the list of programs in the control panel, so I would repeat an "uninstall" from the the control panel, and rerun the MS Fixit tool.  Sometimes the MS Fixit tool would find/correct problems, othertimes it would report that no problems were found.  I repeated this procedure for all the options given in the CS Cleaner Tool script without success.  Thinking it might be a problem with attempting to install from the DVD (which has never been a problem before), it was suggested to try installation from the desktop (copied all DVD files to a desktop folder).  Repeated the entire above process using the "desktop files" instead of the DVD.  No luck.  (...and phoning Adobe tech support was not productive - they sent me here to the forums.)
    Really appreciate you trying to help.  Have any other suggestions?

  • Reinstalling SCSM 2012 SP1 -- installation fails on Finalize step "while executing a custom action:RollbackCleanup" -- absolutely stumped!

    I uninstalled a previous installation of SCSM 2012 in our lab environment because the person who installed it is didn't give anyone else permissions and they weren't available to make the change.  Since then, I've tried to install SCSM 2012 multiple
    times and it fails every time during the Finalize step with the error shown in the picture below.
    Things I've tried and double checked:
    I am running the install with a domain admin account
    I'm specifying a domain user service account during install which is local administrator on the machine
    I rebuilt the performance counters
    I'm running SQL 2k8 R2 SP2
    .Net 3.5.1 is installed
    I see the following message in the System Event Log during setup:
    Event 7036 - The System Center Data Access Service service entered the running state.
    Event 7031 - The System Center Data Access Service service terminated unexpectedly. 
    It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    It appears as though this happens 18 times before the service is no longer restarted and is left terminated.
    Any thoughts or help on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated!  Log excerpts are below as well as a link to the full log file at the end.

  • HP Color LaserJet 2840 -- reinstalling driver -- HP Setup Assistant failing

    Hello! Any tips on how to get my MacBook Pro to identify my HP Color LaserJet 2840 printer? I'm trying to reinstall the driver, but in the HP Setup Assistant, the printer doesn't show up.
    I tested the same printer and USB cable on my older iBook, and everything works just fine. The printer is an all-in-one device, and it works just fine as a standalone copier.
    On my MacBook, everything worked great two days ago, but I tried to print today and got a message "printer not responding" in the print queue. I tried to troubleshoot to no avail:
    -- Turned printer and computer off an on several times.
    -- Ran disk warrior, rebuilt directories and repaired permissions. Still notta.
    -- Then uninstalled the HP 2840 print driver, downloaded new ones, tried to reinstall, but the printer isn't showing up in the HP Setup Assistant.
    -- In Printer Setup Utility, ran Reset Printing System.
    -- Again tried to run HP Setup Assistant, but still the printer isn't showing up in the list for installation.
    Any tips would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi BDAqua -- Thanks for the tip. Should have thought of that. Apparently my USB ports aren't working. Tested a memory stick and my iPod, and neither device shows up on the desktop. My firewire does seem to work -- just backed up everything on an external hard drive.
    The profiler shows these USB devices:
    -- USB Bus / IR Receiver
    -- USB Bus
    -- USB Bus / Bluetooth Host Controller
    -- USB Bus / Apple Internal Keyboard/Trackpad
    -- USB High-Speed Bus
    Thanks again. My next step is to call AppleCare.

  • Reinstall of ADFS 3.0 fails during configuration step with error ADRepository.CreateTopContainer

    I am installing ADFS 3.0 alongside an existing ADFS 2.0 farm.  I followed the steps as detailed here:
    http://office365support.ca/migrating-ad-fs-2-0-to-ad-fs-3-0-for-office365-single-sign-on-2/
    That worked fine initially, but I ran into problems and decided to remove ADFS 3.0 completely and start over.  When I rerun the the Active Directory Federation Services Configuration Wizard, it gets almost all the way through, but fails with a generic
    error of: An error occurred while trying to configure this machine.  
    Down below in the Detailed operation results, it displays:
    ADRepository.CreateTopContainer
    I am guessing I haven't cleared out something in Active Directory, but I'm not sure what that is.
    In my research, I found suggestions for deleting everything under ProgramData\Microsoft\ADFS, but I don't believe I can do that since I am still relying on the ADFS 2.0 installation until I can cut over.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    David Collins

    ADFS 2.0 uses IIS and so the installation is under /inetpub/adfs/ls.
    There's also a backup here:

  • Reinstalling Dreamweaver (or Extension Manager) fails to solve problems

    Normally, when you uninstall Dreamweaver or the Extension Manager, your personal configuration folder is left intact. This is designed to preserve your preferences when reinstalling on the same computer. However, if the reason you're reinstalling is because the program has started acting erratically (or not at all), you should also delete your personal configuration folder before reinstalling.
    In fact, it might not be necessary to go through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling. Quite often, deleting the personal configuration folder does the trick, and resets everything back to the factory defaults.
    Instructions on how to locate your personal configuration folder. The Extension Manager has a configuration folder of its own in the Adobe folder two levels higher than the Dreamweaver configuration folder.

    What's the meaning of "remoting onto the machine"? Is it by "Remote Desktop Control"( mstsc )? There is no difference in running Extension Manager locally or by RDC. However, you have to make sure that you login with the same account. If you still can not launch Extension Manager on your laptop, you can generate log files and paste them here.
    BTW, we created "Frequently Asked Questions" sub forum for Extension Manager. You might find some useful information in it. Check out http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites/extensionmanager/faq

  • IMac freezes, fails to reinstall OS, HD ok(?)

    Yesterday my iMac (Intel, Mid 2007, EMC2134, Lion 10.7.2) started acting up: Doing TM indexing (which went on forever, and which I hadn't noticed was going on before) the iMac started being irratic, applications taking long to start (if ever), beach balls galore. I notice that the temperature at the upper left corner (seen from the front) was really hot, the temperature at the exhaust-slit was 60 C. OS X would eventually freeze. When I rebooted, I got the grey screen with the progress bar. I ran Disk Utility both from within Lion and from recovery disc. Some HD faults found, bur repaired. SMART status clean. Booted into Win XP on Boot Camp and ran SMART detection software - came out clean, but eventually XP froze. Tried reinstall from TM backup, completed, but eventually again freeze. Back in Disk Utility HD repair failed. Erased drive and tried reinstall from USB Lion key, fail. Erase and Reinstall Snow Leopard from CD fails, or freezes within 20 min.
    Are these sure signs of HD failure, and will replacing the drive solve the problems incl. the excessive heat? I'm up for exchanging the HD myself, but if it could just as well be logic board or HD controller or whatever, I probably will need to go to repair service (no Apple Stores here in Denmark :-(  )

    So I got it resolved now.
    As mentioned, I did'nt get anywhere trying to reinstall any OS (SL or Lion) as my Mac would just freeze at some time. I tried to erase and make new partitions etc. to no avail. The AHT didn't report errors on three consecutive runs. So I concluded it had to be a bad disk.
    Today I took my iMac apart and replaced the hard drive with a Seagate 1TB (ST31000528AS) following the guide from iFixIt. Tricky thing, but if you take the time it's not that hard. The worst was getting the harddisk bracket out of the cabinet. Anyway, a TM restore and I am allmost as good as before.
    Remaining is restoring my Boot Camp partition. I have salvage an image of the partition from the old disk using WinClone. Now I just need to see if it will restore alright.
    I am still getting exhaust air temperatures of about 60 C at the left side ventilation outlet (as far as I can tell it was the power supply sitting there). It's probably normal then ...
