Schedule boot from another machine

Few day ago the power button of my macbook was broken and it won't to startup.
I've boot my system with another macbook with the hd and I've try to install Aurora and Alarm Clock pro and schedule a boot, hoping when remounted the hd in the broken one it will startup...
What happened is the second macbook (without my hd plug-in and without aurora and alarm installed) is start but my is not...
Is there a way to schedule a startup from another machine or is impossible?
thanks to any advice!!!

Some external CD/DVD reader/writer are capable of booting the computer from an OS X install disc. Although there is alternative method for doing so, you need to be able to boot from your current OS X install disc in order to run Disk First Aid repair on the hard drive.
If your external CD/DVD reader/writer does not support booting your Mac from an OS X install disc and your Mac has Firewire ports and supports Firewire Target Disk mode, you can connnect another Mac with a Firewire port that includes a working CD/DVD module and also supports Firewire Target Disk mode and install a new OS on your Mac from this Mac.

  • Boot / install os from another machine rather than cd drive?

    Hi,
    My powerbook's CD/DVD drive has stopped working. I have an external CD/DVD reader/writer so I don't want to replace the broken internal CD/DVD module. But what happens when I need to install a new OS or I get drive problems and need to boot from another system?
    Is it possible to use another computer instead of buying a new CD/DVD drive and somehow be able to do the same sort of thing that you can do when you boot up from a CD?
    TIA, John.

  • Booting from another mac using late 2009 13" macbook?

    can this be done? apple made it INCREDIBLY hard to do anything regarding file sharing or alternative booting on this macbook by not having a firewire port and not having target disk mode. i honestly dont know what they were thinking, however, is there a way to boot from another mac (that does have firewire and target disk mode) on the new one?

    Target Disk Mode only works via Firewire. About the only option you have is to remove the hard drive from the other Mac and put it into a USB enclosure, then use it for booting. Do keep in mind that this could cause issues as that other hard drive won't necessarily have the correct drivers.
    If you wanted to use a different part of the computer, such as the optical drive, you probably need to get an external drive.

  • I can't execute my forms from another machine

    After a lot tears, blood and sweat, eventually I achieve to install successfully an IAS (server).
    I probe it and realize that I can execute forms in the Navigator wich is in the IAS Server, but I can't execute it from another machine.
    I now that the web server is Ok because I can see the main page of the web server (runform.htm) but since I introduce the name of the forms it can't find the page.
    ?What am I doing wrong?
    Regards

    If the IP address approach is working and the machine name is not, it may be that you need to have your machine added to your DNS server. The DNS server does the linking of your machine name to a IP address known by the server. If it is defined on the server, then make sure the machine you are trying to access the form from has that DNS server defined in its Network set-up.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you run fcsvr_client from another machine?

    has anyone tried running fcsvr_client from another machine:
    eg: fcsvr_client --host 10.1.1.1 --user Username --pass Password search /projects
    can't seem to figure out what they want for a user and pass. i keep getting the following error:
    CODE = E_LOGIN, DESC = no valid user identified for this action, SRC_FILE = PmsTask_SearchEntity.C, SRC_LINE = 189
    ideas?

    This post here will get were you want: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1502389&tstart=200
    In summary in can access the db only from localhost BUT you CAN use ssh tunneling to access the remote fcsvr computer and get access to the db (in your case fcsvr_client).
    Good luck

  • Using Time Machine from another machine to restore Library Folders

    I am using TM from another machine, (which has died) to restore folders onto a working system, some of the folders i need are in the User Library, but how do i display the User Library in TM?
    Thank You
    John

    Hello,
    I have now noticed that the cmd+shift+g method works OK if you are doing a standard restore from the TM on the current system, but does not work when using a TM from another machine. I do not know enough about Unix file structures to specify the correct file under these circumstances, any help woudl be grateful
    Thanks

  • Cannot boot from time machine disk

    I have a 2012 MacPro with 1 SSD and 3 Mechanical Disks installed. The disk in Bay 4 I use as a time machine disk, but upon booting the computer and holding down option I was only able to select my primary OSX Boot device ("Macintosh SSD") with no other bootable devices listed. If I have Time Machine on an external disk, I am able to select it as a boot device.
    I just had a recent scare with a completely currupted disk that needed reformatting, so I'm checking everything I have to make sure it works as expected.  Not being able to actually boot from the Time Machine disk to restore my computer if anything should go wrong with the Primary SSD and Hard Disk is quite worrysome.
    How would I boot from an Internal Time Machine disk?
    UPDATE:
    I have found that I do not have internet recovery and I also do not have a Recovery HD.
    I am downloading Mountain Lion from the App store again and will try and create some recovery media from that.

    You should be using Carbon Copy Cloner to put a bootable copy of your SSD on another disk drive (it will offer to create ML Recovery volume also).
    Cloning
    Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/7032/carbon-copy-cloner
    You can have one drive that has clone of all the other drives in multiple partitions.
    You could have more than one TimeMachine drive and a copy (cloned partition) of the system on each.
    I do NOT understand why you can boot from TimeMachine on an external drive.
    I have never even tried to boot from TimeMachine. You mean Recovery mode, not a standard system?
    Mac Basics: Time Machine
    Hold down the Option key at startup to boot into the startup manager. Select the Recovery system of the Time Machine backup to start from. Once started, you will have all of the functionality of Recovery.

    Mac OS X Recovery: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    What I do and what I think you should include and add to your backup strategy:
    An SSD *NEEDS* to have a disk image for restore if and as needed (and you need TRIM Enabler, and you need TE on your secondary drive.
    You / we always have needed an "emergency / maintenance boot drive"
    You can shrink and create 120GB partition on your backup drive but never have just one backup set or drive, "all your eggs in one basket" does not work forever.
    Your OPTION boot should, if you installed ML or it came with it and you installed or cloned to the SSD, had one, or using "Command + R" on startup to boot from Recovery Mode. Trouble with that is if the drive needs to be formatted, and an SSD should be at times, you can only erase another partition, not the entire device.

  • Re-formatting / erasing a corrupted hard disk from another machine?

    Hi there,
    I have a macbook pro that was running 10.6.3. The hard disk fell over and for some reason the DVD won't be recognised. When I boot my macbook I get a grey screen with a flashing folder with a question mark in it. I tried to boot to disk utility without luck (pressing command + R didn't bring up the DU). How do I go about reformatting / erasing the disk using another machine (I have another macbook pro running 10.7.5)? I assume once that is done then either the DVD will work properly or I can install from the internet?
    Thanks!

    If you are getting the flashing ? mark then either the drive has failed or the cable that goes from the drive to the logic board has failed. In either case that failed part will need to be replaced.
    If the drive failed it has failed and the data on it is irretrievable. You should take the drive out of the older Mac and connect it to the newer Mac with a SATA to USB adapter. If you can read the drive that way then you can copy the data off it and the drive itself hasn't failed, the cable has.
    Your Mac running 10.6.x Snow Leopard doesn't have access to the newer Recovery HD system like Mac's running Lion or Mt Lion.
    But you can use your original OS X reinstall DVD or the retail Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade it from an older version of OS X to boot the system and use Disk Utility.

  • Boot from time machine to start up my macbook Pro?

    Can I boot up from my time machine to start up my macbook pro with 10.7.5? I have not been able to start up from my diskWarrior 4.4 disk in order to rebuild my hard drive, and I did not get a 10.7 system disk when I bought my computer. Also, if I can, how do I do it?

    If the time machine backup was made from your Mac with 10.7.x install on it yes toy can boot from it. Connect the backup drive to the Mac and power it on. Hold down the Option key and a boot menu screen willl come up. Select the backup drive, it might be label Recovery HD or Whatever you called the drive when you formatted it.
    Once that loads, which is a copy of the built ion Recovery HD files you can use disk utility to do maintance and do all the other things you can do with disk utility and then you can restore your system from that backup.

  • Can't import photos from another machine???

    I have downloaded a few albums on another machine and then brought a copy home to put on my iPhoto library but every time I try to import I get an error message saying:
    '+The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).+'
    All the images are in Jpeg format!

    they are in my iPhoto Library
    How did they get there? iPhoto will not import pics from the active iPhoto Library Folder - a protection against duplication. There is never a need for the user to enter that folder and anytime you do you risk damaging your Library.

  • Can I re-install Logic from another machine ?

    since , I have a CPU and a laptop , and I am on travel and I would like to use Logic pro with my macbook pro . can I re-install Logic from the Laptop .?

    Why is it in a disk image?   (I use CarbonCopyCloner, not SuperDuper).
    I call it that because I thought that was what SD termed it.  When I open any of the backup files, they mount like a disk image so, to me, that's what it is.  Sorry if my terminology confused things.
    Pondini wrote:
    Can you boot your Mac from the drive?  If so, it's just a normal clone, not a disk image.
    I believe so.  (However, it's a ML system and all the other computers in the house, except the dead one, still run Snow Leopard.)  In any case, the file is a sparse bundle.
    Pondini wrote:
    If so, your solution is easy -- use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up.  Select From Another Disk when asked if you want to Transfer your data.  See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for the gory details. It can transfer everything but OSX -- apps, user accounts and data, settings, etc.  It's similar to Migration Assistant, but avoids some possible problems.
    That sounds ideal.  However, my Master Plan ran into a snag late yesterday.  I tried to create a backup (using SD) to get the latest stuff into an image, but SD gave an error message when it encountered one of the files (the Parallels app, which happens to be the very app that we're most keen to migrate over intact.  The error message (using AAA and BBB in place of the full paths) read:
    Error copying /Volumes/AAA to /Volumes/BBB of type 8 due to error 7: Argument list too long
    The file in question is one of the files internal to the Parallels app itself
    (Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher)
    so I don't know if I have options to work around this and have SD go to completion.  SD aborted when it hit that error.
    I have a couple of days to play around with this, to try to get a more recent backup.  Otherwise, I'll have to ponder the alternatives.
    Thanks for the good discussion and tips!

    Hi all,

  • Python ldap write access (acl) from another machine?

    i've downloaded and installed:

    The search works fine, but add and delete return this error:

    It would appear that the default acl for * doesn't allow for other computers to have write access?

    Hi,
    You can check these few text-book style troubleshooting steps :-
    1. Can you PING the system computername from another System ?
    2. Can you check the ServerName Parameter in httpD.Conf of your IAS's Apahce & check if it contains computername ?
    3. Can you check if you can access http://computername:7777 or http://computername:7778 ( Default Ports ).
    4. Can you Telnet to computername at Port 80 ( using some software like Putty ) and issue Http Commands like GET / HTTP/1.1 ( just to check if the port is open ) ?

    Sandeep
