Reloading everything back onto laptop after a disc erase due to grey screen - steps

1) I have had grey screen problem & have done start jo sox re install. Now I want to reload all my files from time capsule back onto my 17inch pro.
What are the steps
The mac17 has had full backup just before it stopped. Last piece of software loaded was a flash player update for YouTube videos .
But worked ok after that . But had an coloured spinning wheel later when tried to close program's. then after a power restart could only get a grey screen. Tried disc repair & got messages to say invalid record count & invalid node structure . Worker my way through recommended grey screen restarts & now doing re install of OS X
2) I have since bought a Mac Pro 13 with retina display - due to the 17 mac pros weight.
I want to reload all my files onto this from time capsule.  Link both via iCloud .

4) make a new time machine backup with the fresh os and no data
This step is superfluous.
If reinstalling the OSX will allow you to make a Time Machine backup, do so.
Remember that the first thing you must do with a new HDD is to format it in Disk Utility>Erase to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Only then can you install the OSX and the data from Time Machine.
5) restore from the first time machine backup on the old disk. If this works, great, but im worried that if I had corrupt data on the old drive then when I restore from the old disk, it will bring all that corrupt data onto the new disk. In this case, I would restore again from time machine but this time from the one I did in step 4 when the disk was fresh and clean. I will have lost my apps and have to count my losses. Is this a good plan or will this taint the new disk if the old data is corrupt?
What makes you believe that you have corrupt data?  Is the issue not the HDD?  Step four only copies the OSX and NO user data.  That has no benefit for you.  All of you applications should be on the first Time Machine backup, assuming it is successful.
Ciao.

  • My mac hung up while installing an update. It took hours and still did not complete the update. I restarted my mac. Upon turning it back on, a wheel has been spinning on a grey screen. I tried to reinstall OS X from utilities, but encounter an error. Why?

    My mac hung up while installing an update. It took hours and still did not complete the update. I restarted my mac. Upon turning it back on, a wheel has been spinning on a grey screen. I tried to reinstall OS X from utilities, but encounter an error. What do I do?

    Hey Manaskala,
    First point of call on all grey screen issues is the following:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    Given this issue has appeared after a software update, I'd advise you do the following instead though:
    1. Get an external hard drive, with enough space to put the entire hard drive of your Mac onto. Make sure you've safely copied any data you have off of it, as the next step will erase it.
    2. In the recovery HD of your machine, use Disk Utility to format you EXTERNAL hard drive with the partition table as GUID, and the format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    3. Get out of Disk Utility, and click Reinstall Mac OS X.
    4. When asked where, choose to install onto your external hard drive.
    5. When the download and installation is complete, your Mac will reboot into a clean fresh setup screen. Make your user account an administrator, and make up a name and password; I use 'Test' and 'test'.
    6. Your machine is now running from the external hard drive, not the internal hard drive, so don't be alarmed when you don't see your files.
    7. Open the finder, you should see 'Macintosh HD' in the sidebar. This is the internal hard drive of your computer.
    8. Open Macintosh HD, and copy out the following folders into a new folder on your desktop:
    -Users.
    -Applications.
    -Library. (This only needs to be done if you use 3rd party software that saves things in the /Library, do a quick google and see if it does e.g. Photoshop, Protools).
    9. When these have copied (it'll take quiet a while), you can now use Disk Utility to erase your hard drive. Don't erase Macintosh HD but the ENTIRE hard drive on the inside of your Mac, and as Thomas A Reed mentioned, there was likely an existing issue on your HDD so please go to Security Options and choose 'Zero Out' before clicking erase. This will rebuild the partition table which was a possible cause of the failed update.
    10. Reboot the machine holding 'Option', go to recovery HD.
    11. Choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X', this time onto your INTERNAL hard drive.
    12. When this is complete, make another admin user called test and password test, like you did last time.
    13. Run Software Update from the  menu of your Mac.
    14. In the Finder, you should see your external Hard Drive. open it up, inside that you should see your desktop etc, and on the desktop will be your folder containing Library, Applications and Users.
    15. Go to Finder up next to the  and choose File -> New Finder Window.
    16. In your second finder window, open up Macintosh HD (through the Go -> Computer menu), and go to your Users folder.
    17. Open the Users folder in your first finder window, and copy your user folder (has your name on it) into the second user folder (the one inside Macintosh HD).
    18. This might take a while.
    19. When complete, go to System Preferences -> Users and Groups and unlock the padlock.
    20. Click the '+' sign, and make a new administrator user.
    21. Now, the fun bit. Note the name of your user folder you copied, e.g. 'Nathan', containing all of your stuff. Note the difference between your user folder (has your name on it) and the Users folder (contains YOUR user folder, guest folder and shared folder).
    22. Make the ACCOUNT NAME of your new adminstrator user the EXACT name of your user folder (normally lower case and without spaces), this is case sensitive folks. Your full name can be whatever you want, usually your full name.
    23. Then click create. You should be informed that a home folder with that name in it already exists in the Users folder, would you like to make your new account from that folder? say YES!
    24. When this is complete, log out of the Test user, log into your new account we've just made, all your stuff should be there.
    25. ???????
    26. Profit.
    There's a few little bits that may need to be cleaned up afterwards, applications folder from your external hard drive should replace the applications folder on your internal hard drive, if the previously mentioned /Library folder contained important goodies then that should replace the /Library folder on your new Mac.
    Hopefully that will help you out, straight after that is done make sure your stuff is there, erase your external hard drive and turn on time machine!

  • How do I transfer iPhone content back to laptop after hard disk crash

    My old hard disk crashed a week ago. How do I transfer all my iPhone content (music, apps, podcasts, ...) back to my laptop after having a new hard disk installed?

    I do have all the backups, but this means that I'd have to individually look up each App, then download it again. Isnt there a simpler way? Doesnt Apple keep an index of some sort of all the items I have purchased, so that a one-click procedure may restore the latest versions of all of them with ease?
    A few years ago I adopted the strategy to keep everything on the web. With now over 20 GB on the web, it just doesnt make sense to do this any more. After the mess up with my hard disk, as far as my documents go, every time I edit any of them, I simply back them up individually onto 2 separate external drives, and burn them on CDs once a week. Having had 4 major hard disk crashes since 1989, I dont really trust automated backup programs any more. I'm much happier if I know where EXACTLY my documents are at any point in time.

  • How do i get the songs i purchased off of my phone back onto it after restoring it?

    i had to get a new iphone4, before going to the store i updated and saved all my stuff onto my computer. i came home to restore it, none of my songs were on my phone. i got my songs back onto my phone after i plugged it in again. now, none of the songs i purchased from my phone on the first iphone are there. and if i try to download a song that i already purchased from my phone, it wont let me get it because "i have already downloaded this item." how do i get them back on to my phone?!

    emilyfrommandeville wrote:
    they aren't on my computer. but itunes says that i still have them
    If they are not on your computer, how does iTunes say that you still have them?
    Do you mean that they show in your purchase history in iTunes?
    It sounds like you did not "Transfer purchases" when  you synced your iPhone.  And as such, it's highly unlikely they were ever on your computer.
    The iPhone is not a storage device.  It is intended that all purchases be transfered to your computer for backup on a regular basis.  Then as an added measure, create a backup of your iTunes library to an external drive, CD/DVD's, or flash drives in the event something happens to your computer.
    It is ultimately up to the user to ensure that their media and files are backed up.

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Wallpaper defaults to 'Galaxy' after log out + now stuck on grey screen

    Hi all,
    Hope someone can help with this one.
    Basically, like many others, I've been trying to get around
    the wallpaper problem that Lion has brought with it.
    By this, I mean how if you change the wallpaper to a custom
    image, as soon as you log out and back in it changes back
    to the galaxy one from Lion.
    So after searching the solutions on the forums I decided to
    act on the following troubleshooting advice from a member
    commenting on the problem... (advice I followed in bold)
    (Originally posted by member: Ahmed21788)
    One basic solution for this is to save your wallpapers in the HDD where you've installed the MAC OS X..
    but I didnt want to save all my wallpapers in Native Mountain Lion HDD, so i figured out my perfect fix..!!
    This is how i fixed..
    I found this file in my Lion install drive.. autodiskmount.plist
    Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount.plist
    If you can't find it on your OS X Install Drive then you can make one by typing
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="0.9">
    <dict>
    <key>AutomountDisksWithoutUserLogin</key><true/>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    rename ur txt file to autodiskmount.plist
    save this in your MAC OS X HDD
    Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/autodiskmount.plist
    restart your system..
    So... after following this advice I haven't been able to get my machine back on!
    It just gets to the grey screen with apple and spinning wheel and goes no further.
    It won't even safe boot.
    However I did manage to get to repair disk permissions via cmd+option+p+r.
    But when I restarted it still wouldn't go any further than the grey screen/spinning wheel.
    Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Ben.

    Hi keithos27,
    I have a macbook pro early 2011 15" like you, and unfortunately something identical happened to me: "... the computer went black and an audio was stuck on a loop over and over..." - "...grey screen on for a few minutes and eventually the computer's fan spins up and runs at full speed".
    I followed the article mentioned too, but nothing solved the problem.
    Eventually I took the mac to the local authorized service provider. It turns out that the problem is due to the notorious GPU failure of the 2011 macbook pro.
    It means that unless I replace the entire logic board, I end up with a marvellous piece of aluminium...
    This is my experience, I can't say that's 100% your case. I hope it isn't. Try to check at an apple store.
    Good luck!

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air won't boot after installing Little Snitch 3. Grey Screen.

    Hi all
    I think the answer is probably that my SSD is toast but here's the symptoms in case anyone else has experienced this.
    I installed Adobe Lightroom and also got round to upgrading my Little Snitch license and finally putting it on my 11" Air (mid 2011, latest version of Lion) as I use the computer more often than my Pro. After restarting as LS requires I was met with the grey Apple logo screen with no spinning gear. I forced a shut down and started again, again the logo screen, no spinning gear. I tried booting in to safe mode and got only a grey screen, then I tried booting in to recovery mode and got the Apple Logo again. I also tried cmd + C and alt/option with an external DVD drive and Snow Leopard with no luck
    Then I tried a SMC reset, after that I started up and only got the Logo again. I reset the PRAM and the main effect of that was to reset the system volume to max so now I can hear the POST chime but also since the PRAM reset I get only the grey screen and no further. I tried to boot from a USB Lion recovery but only the grey screen. I have also tried booting with cmd +S with no luck either. Internet recovery doesn't work either.
    The keyboard seems to be completely unresponsive, the caps lock key doesn't light up at all and I've a feeling that it's either something as simple as a problem with the keyboard or the SSD is kaput. I think that Little Snitch is a coincidence as there's nothing like this anywhere on the web as far as I can tell with Google and there doesn't appear to be anything on these forums that quite matches, especially the part about not being able to use and alternative boot method.
    Anyone out there got any ideas?
    Cheers
    John

    Hi and thank you for your response.
    The fans only kick in when the machine freezes.
    I updated from Snow Leopard to Lion using the App Store. The install was successful and worked for about 30 mins then the unresponsive behavior started. Once I rebooted, I received the issue previously stated above (i.e., the trackpad and keyboard is unresponsive).
    I've also tried booting using the Option key and choosing the Recovery Mode. Once in Recovery Mode the same crash happens  (i.e., the trackpad and keyboard is unresponsive)

  • My touch will not stay on even if its pluged in and this started all at once without any warning what can i do? I rebooted it to factory settings then reloaded everything back on it from itunes but it still is not working right at all. cam anyone help me

  • HT4972 I have music on my itouch that I did not purchase from itunes, but downloaded from CD's that I owned. If I upgrade my iOS and sync my device, will it remove that music, requiring me to reload it back onto the device?

    I've found that certain apps that I desire require a certain iOS level, so to speak. However, I have been hesitant to sync my itouch (3rd generation) to itunes to upgrade, mainly because it warns me that my media will be removed. Most of the music on my device has come from CDs which I have downloaded onto my itouch and not from itunes, so the music is not on my itunes itself. Since I do not fully comprehend what "syncing" my itouch to my computer will do, I would like to be certain that if I do sync my device all media will be removed. If this is the case, then I must persue ways to back that music up before I proceed with the syncing. If you could let me know as much information about this as possible, I would be truly grateful. Thank you.

    You will probably lose the music.
    Why is it not on your computer?
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

  • How do I get my music from cds back onto library after it's been wiped?

    For no reason at all, I turned my itunes on one day to find that all my purchases are still there but the huge amount of music I've added from CDs is missing. It is still all on my ipod. All playlists are gone too from the library.
    How do I get them back into the library?

    AVG is the most likely culprit. They have promised a patch, but you'll still need to repair your library yourself.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
    If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Whatever AV you use I would recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real time AV scanning process, however it would seem that AVG isn't currently obeying such exceptions.

  • Syncing Photos back onto ATV after moving from a previous computer

    Recently I switched from using a Hp compaq running on windows NT to a new Hp workstation running on windows vista. I successfully moved my itunes library to the new machine and also moved my photos which were linked through an external Lacie drive which I just plugged into the new machine via the USB and which is clearly visible on the new machine. I have the most up to date itunes and ATV software operating. I have paired the ATV with the new library via the ATV using the code number given and the music appears on the Television screen but the memory of the ATV does not fill nor will it see my photos nor sync them. Initially the ATV filled its capacity with audio files but no photos. I tried a reboot and restore factory setting but the photos still will not appear nor will the audio files apper in the memory of the ATV. Query, how do I get the photos back on to the ATV and have I got stuck in streaming mode. Help please.

    Thanks tried that but no avail. I noticed though that when I reconnected I only ticked one playlist, yet when I went into the ATV it had all of the playlists from previous but still no photos and asks for me to make a connection and sync, which is what I did. I also only cliked to sync one folder with 20 photos so that it wouldn't be down to a time issue that may arise from large files. As I speak it is still showing up in itunes as 'syncing' but the 40GB memeory bar is still showing up empty............. any other ideas, please

  • After update Mac Pro boots to grey screen with Kernel Panic. Help please.

    It would be great if someone can help me out. Yesterday I did a software update of iTunes and osx (it said to ease update to Lion) and now my Mac Pro tower (MacPro3,1) boots to a grey screen, kernel panic, telling me that I need to power down and restart my machine. I can boot into osx via the safe mode but unfortunately I don't have an install disk to repair the system disk. What are my options?
    The machine appears to work in safe mode. I have tried resetting the PRAM. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    There's no point in reinstalling the same driver. It hasn't changed. It's incompatible with the OS update. Contact the device manufacturer to see if there's a driver update.
