S.M.A.R.T issues during Lion install

I've received the iMac error while loading OS X 10.7 (Lion).  It reads as follows:
"This disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors.  This disk has a hardware problem that can't be repaired.  Back up as much data as possible and replace this disk."
This appears to be a common problem for many iMacs purchased 1.5 to 2 years ago with the 1TB drive.  I've backed up my data and have contacted Apple to have the hard drive replaced.  Apple needs to be more proactive in identifying this group of users, as they have with the 1TB drives having issues from this past summer.
If there are any other suggestions regarding what to do, then please speak up.  Thanks in advance for your help.

You've done what there is to do. BTW, if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

    You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo"  My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

  • Any solution to DVD drive issue post Lion install yet?

    Any solution to DVD drive issue post Lion install yet?

    Since installing Lion no DVDs are being read by the superdrive, this is a problem that has been highlighted by quite a lot of people.
    CDs are being read fine.
    After inserting the DVD there is some noise, sounds like it is trying to pickup the DVD then spits it back out.

  • I got the S.M.A.R.T. error during Lion install as well.  l

    I too have this issue with the LION install...S.M.A.R.T. error...more like a D.U.M.B. error.  Please fix this.

    A S.M.A.R.T. error is an indication your HD is failing. You can download and run SMART Utility
    http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
    they have a trial you can use that should work.
    Another thing you can do is run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode to see if it detects any errors.

  • Microphone issue after Lion install

    Hi there.
    I have an iMac 27'', early 2010 (the last version before the core i3/i5/i7 came out) and it works basically fine with everything, just as it did since I got it. Now, after Lion's install, the overral performance seems a wee bit better, even while gaming (World of Warcraft and some others), altho for me and my wife, some "laggy situations" have been causing some sluggish camera turns that didnt happen at all, before (and some situations do lag more then before, but oh well).
    But the real "issue" is that both our microphones just stopped working (my wife uses a Macbook Pro 17'' mid 2009). I did read about some issues with microphones in Lion and some of it being related to usage of external audio and microphones etc, but both machines here use the basics... Built in sound and microphones, since *ever*.
    What's buggin me the most is that the Microphone itself seems to be working "fine", since whe I go the System Preferences and try to calibrate it, the meters seem to be working just as perfectly as before, but pretty much every 3rd party application I use that has a microphone element (mainly Teamspeak3, but also Ventrilo, Skype, Raidcal...) cant seem to "find" the microphone.
    Trying to calibrate it within these programs doesnt even move the bars, as if there was no microphone. Also tried to plug in an external mic, but that didnt do any good.
    Not sure if any one has been experiencing issues like those (all the applications have been totally removed and reinstalled from scratch) but I do know some people that have similar systems and after installing Lion, didnt get any of those cases of "bad mics"...
    Well, I appreciate the help and thanks in advance to everyone.
    Att,
    Gustavo Gonzalez.

    Hi guys, I am getting crazy about my microphone not working in lion. I think it's a conflict problem or whatelse. In my case my system was a Tiger->Leopard->SnowLeopard->Lion, changing each time I was buying a new mac...so I'm afraid this could cause some mess...I don't know..
    ANYWAY: waiting for a solution "seriously made by apple", I found a naive solution:
    YOU NEED THE HEADPHONES OF YOUR iPHONE, like these:
    http://store.apple.com/it/product/MB770G/B
    and, I guess, a recent mac. In my case I have a brand new MacBook Pro.
    The connector of these headphones has 3 channels, I guess 2 are for stereo and 1 for microphone, and perhaps the jack connector of the new macs can work with it.
    Simply connect them to the headphones connector and forget about the microphone.
    In my case IT WORKED.
    Ok, it's not a solution, but it's letting me to have my skype phone-co, at least.
    Waiting for something better.

  • Backing up iPad issue during iOS5 install

    I am unable to back up the iPad during the iOS5 installation... takes forever, then never completes.
    Can I install iOS5 with out performing the backup?  I have backed up the iPad during regular syncs (where would I find that backup if I had to do a restore?)

    Same problem. At second attempt got a message that ipad memory was over capacity.  I had 6GB free on the ipad2 when I started to upgrade and it was now telling me i needed more!  After deleting all my photos (4GB which had been loaded from camera and the only way I could find to do this was one at a time!) the upgrade apparently succeeded but in itunes it said I now had 8GB of "Others" in the memory and only 1 GB free.
    Lookign in "Diagnostics & Usage data" I can see 3 scripts coinciding with the upgrade attempts all of which start with "Sysinfocrashreporterkey" 2 with "bug-type 193" a couple of lines down, and one with "bug-type 109"
    Questions:
    What are the 8GB of "Others" and how do i get rid of it?
    How can I bulk-delete photos transferred from camera?
    What do the bug-types refer to and do they indicate a solution?

  • [XI 3.1] Issues during "Clean" install on Windows Server (64-bit) OS

    Started setting-up a SANDBOX yesterday of BOE-XI (Release 3.1) on a "Clean" Windows Server (64-bit) OS.
    I hit a couple of issues that I think may be related to the DEFAULT "Program Files" location on the OS being...
    C:\Program Files (x86)\
    ...rather than...
    C:\Program Files\
    I chose to install the MySQL database and the IIS and Tomcat DEFAULTs for the CMC and InfoView.
    BOE-XI (Release 3.1) said that it ran OK, but we had two issues that we are now cleaning-up...
    1.) SIA did not install / appear in CCM. Had to manually create a new one.
    2.) Tomcat InfoView and CMC were OK, but the .NET (IIS) InfoView throws a "The page cannot be found" error when trying to connect to...
    http://<servername>/InfoViewApp/logon.aspx
    Anyone seen this issue before - or have a link to a "Best Practices" document for installing on BOE-XI (Release 3.1) on the Windows Server (64-bit) OS...?
    Thanks in Advance!

  • Connection Issues during initial install period

    Hello! Hopefully someone will be able to help me.
    I recently switched to BT Broadband from another provider, however during the initial 14 days when you are meant to leave your router on I ended up having to switch it off quite a bit as my gas mains were being replaced (the gas mains are right next to my BT master socket) which meant a equiptment had to be turned off, moved, etc. Consequently my line has not adjusted correctly which is something I would like to resolve.
    Initially my line was connecting using fastpath, but now appears to just stay interleaved and ideally I would like to stay on fastpath as it greatly improves connecting to my office's internet conferencing facilities which I use a lot. Any ideas on how I can get BT to re-stablise my line?

  • Logic Issues after Lion Install, anybody know any way to fix?

    Does anyone have an ETA On this?

    Check with Logic when they will have a version that works with Lion.

    my computer displays grey screen and apple logo for 10 minutes or more during start up and shut down. sometimes it refuses to shut down . this issues started after installing OS lion. what do i do?

    I don't think it's exactly an incomplete installation brody, but most likely in-correct permissions somewhere along the line that either happened, or became magnified during the upgrade. Also, it could be corruption as well.
    First thing to do, is boot up holding down Shift key to do a safe-boot so we an clean up any corrupted OS caches, after that do another reboot, but go to the Lion recovery, and scan the HD for errors, repair any if you find them, and then try to do a Repair Permissions job.
    That should fix the issue, if not, we can start doing a PRAM reset  and SMC for good measure.

  • Issues during Component Batch Determination for Process Orders

    Hi,
    I am encountering a strange issue during component batch determination of process order.
    1. During creation of process order, when I execute batch determination, systems does determination based on strategies we have set and when I click on Copy it gives an error
    "Log cannot be saved: Object/subobject not specified"
    Message no. BL201
    *Diagnosis
    Log save cancelled because at least one log contains no object or subobject.
    Object and subobject are needed to classify application logs because there are several log types. Only a few logs are managed in main memory at runtime, so this classification is not needed.
    If the logs are to be saved in the database, object/subobject must be specified for later retrieval.
    Procedure for System Administration
    Object/sub object can be passed when a log is created (function module BAL_LOG_CREATE) and changed with BAL_LOG_CHANGE.
    The possible values for object and sub object must be configured in transaction SLG0.*
    If I save the order with CRTD status and come back again in change mode and do determination, It works fine.
    Again when the order is in REL status and do the determination, It gives the same error.
    This happens only for a specific plant, In other plants batch determination works in all scenarios.
    I checked for all plant related Config for batch determination and coudn't find any discrepancies.
    Please advise how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance for your help
    Regards,
    Aheesh

    There Is no direct solution for your requirement just try this work around.
    While defining the batch determination search strategy for process order in COB1, there is one column Quantity proposal where you can attach the Routines (This is written in ABAB code )  make use of this, define New Routines with ABAB help to fulfill your requirement. Try this if found useful award full points.

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

  • Automating Goods issue during Delivery creation

    Hi all,
    We have a requirement to automate the Goods issue creation for certain type of orders when the Delivery is getting created. The orders that need to be automatically Goods issued during delivery creation are identified based on certain plants. These plants are linked to certain output type and in the output type routine is the standard program RVADEK01 with one additonal code for automating the Goods Issue creation.
    We have a custom table that holds the status of orders and there is a code in user exit userexit_save_document_prepare which changes the status of the order as closed when the goods issue is done.
    But when the delivery is saved, in this case when an automatic goods issue needs to happen, when the flow reaches this user exit, the output type code dosenot get executed and the Goods issue is not done and so the custom table will not be updated with the closed status. So we are in need to findout a place where we can update the status of the order in that table.
    The output type code is not executed even before the other user exit userexit_save_document. The output type code gets executed and goods issue is done after the this userexit_save_document when the COMMIT statement is executed in the subroutine BELEG_SICHEN_POST in the include FV50XF0B_BELEG_SICHERN.
    I need help in finding out if any user exit or badi is called after this commit statement, so that I can add my code to close the status of the order in my custom table. Just after this commit the Goods issue happens and the VBFA table gets updated with the 'R' records for goods issue.
    Please let me know if anyone has any idea on this. The ultimate goal is to find some place after the goods issue is done to update the status of the order as closed in the custom table we have.
    Thanks,
    Packia

    Dear Siva,
    As informed yesterday I changed the language from DE to EN, to match the other shipping points settings in table V_TVST, this did not bring the solution.
    Please let me summarize, I am really desparate here:
    This is only IM related, Not WM.
    Picking lists are not printed for any Shipping Point from this warehouse, this is just a small subsidiary of my customer in Finland.
    Issue is not Aut. PGI.
    VP01SHP has not been configured for any shipping points, still there we do get the PR except for the new shipping point.
    In the deliveries of correct processed shipping points  I do not find any picking output type.
    Item category in new shipping is equal to Item category in already existing shipping points, so no need to config here.
    There is no picking block active.
    PR creation happens once I enter the pick qty in the delivery in VL02N. This is the part that we need to have automated.
    Can you please try to help me out?
    Tnx & regards,
    Chris

    hi,
    I will list out few of critical issues in
    Implementation :
    1 . Ensure 100% mapping of business process for all modules with SAP(avoid customization in support phase)
    2.  Unit & Integeration testing should be through with all validations
    3.  Master datas(Vendor,Customer) care must be taken will uploading datas thru LSMW,
    If there are common vendors for all plants,Create a vendor for a plant extend it to other plants
    4. Check tax procedures are customized according to requirements.
    5. Complete all print document customizations before go live
    6. Complete end user training(2 or more cycles) should be top priority before go live(This will avoid
    cancellation/reversal of documents after post go live)
    7. Ready with standard MIS reports & customized reports for business decision making
    8. Excise opening balance updation in tables for RG1 register in tables(Note 951955) on go live
    9. Check all tables datas are updating correctly
    10. Declare go live to SAP Support
    11. Check All user authorization should be correct according to their roles.
    12. Centeralize all master datas creation(avoid duplication)
    13. Create transaction variants to avoid entires in unnecessary fields & make certain fields mandatory.
    14. Ensure document numbering is completed for all documents
    15. Validate accounting entries are hit properly according to requirement in quality client with FI CTM(Core team member).
    After Go live :
    1. Missing authorization for users will play key part here,For ex : PGI while doing delivery,Excise capture & post in MIGO/J1IEX.
    2. Do internal audit every month,identify transactions if there will possibility for misuse or wrong entries,requires validation,identify users weak in certain areas.
    3. Identify there is enhancements to be done in transaction process(By step-2)
    4. Prepare a list of month & year end activities to be performed for all modules give to users
    5. Prepare  a list of frequently used transaction codes module wise give it to users
    6. If there is subcontracting,ensure challan creation,GR,reconcillation should be done regulary(monthly)
    7. Train the users,take reports in respective modules.
    8. Additonal customization might be done in print documents.
    9. Instruct users/CTM's to adapt SAP Standard practise
    10. Update excise tax rates after every indian budget
    Hope it helps.
