Sibling Link Error After Updating Software

Ok, two days ago I updated my imac software. Afterwards, the imac started running slow and freezing (which it never does). I booted through my OS X DVD and ran disk utility, repair HD. It came up with a sibling link error: can't repair drive. Not knowing what to do, I erased my HD and reinstalled Leopard. Everything ran well until I updated my software, then the same problem. At this point I erased my HD (zero out) and reinstalled Leopard with no problems. Again, I ran software update and the same problem happened, sibling link error. So this time, I erased the HD and haven't updated the software. What should I do? Should I not run software update? It appears that the problem (sibling link error) only surfaces when I update my software.

After installing Leopard off the disc (which is where you are at now), try running Disk Utility and using the +Repair Disk Permissions+ routine. Then, run Software Update and only select the 10.5.7 Update on the list of available updates. Run that one update only. After it is done, check to see of you have that same error. If you do not, run the other available updates. When it is all done, run +Repair Disk Permissions+ one more time.
Note: I always run +Repair Disk Permissions+ immediately before I have Software Update install any update.
If you still get that error after the 10.5.7 update, you can try installing Leopard from the disc again, and using the stand-alone updater for installing the 10.5.7 combo update.

  • This software cannot be installed on the computer/sibling link error

    I have been helping a friend overseas troubleshoot her computer.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1741148&tstart=0
    We are at the point where she was able to get her data off the drive and would now like to reinstall her system.
    She has a refurbished iBook which was running 10.4.11 with software updates. Her startup disks are in the states as she is in a village in Africa. She has borrowed disks which contain 10.4.8 and is receiving the message that +"This software cannot be installed on the computer."+ Would this be due to different versions and trying install an older OS onto a computer with a newer OS?
    She had a sibling link error on her hard drive, so we were able to recover data. I was hoping to reformat her hard drive to remove the error and reinstall the system. Would this error effect the installation process?
    Thank you.

    If this is an iBook model she will need to use a retail Tiger installer or the discs that came with her computer. She could try with Leopard if the iBook meets the requirements:
    System requirements
    You must have a Macintosh computer with:

  • Invalid sibling link error

    I have a 15" PB which gave an "invalid sibling link error" one month ago and I was not able to even repair it using DiskWarrior. I have Apple Care Protection plan, so I sent it for repairs and the repair guys replaced the motherboard as they suspected it was the reason. On return, I reformatted the HD and installed everything from stratch. Everything was working fine till last Saturday morning, when computer would not boot up. So I checked using Disk Utility from PB DVD, and the dreaded "invalid sibling error" came up again. Since I have a bootable backup of the HD, I formatted the HD and tried to load the system on the HD from the backup copy. But the writing of backup using CCC hung up and I had to quit it. After that I was not able to find the HD using Disk Utility from DVD.
    I have sent it for repairs again, but can anyone help me understand the core problem here. Since last time they replaced the motherboard, I think they will replace the HD this time around. Is the logic board, motherboard or the HD that is the root cause of the problem?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   100GB HDD, 1.5GB RAM

    I had never heard of "invalid sibling link error" until you post, and when I ran a search on it the best explanation I could find is that it is a directory-related problem. See the following (assuming it is correct): http://www.computing.net/mac/wwwboard/forum/2584.html The suggestion there, though, is that DIsk Warrior should be able to fix the problem, and you've already told us that you tried using Disk Warrior on it and it did not work.
    Very puzzling. Please post back what happens when you get your PB back from being repaired.
    Good luck.

  • After updating software on my Apple TV it is asking to connect to iTunes. Can't understand why?

    After updating software on my Apple TV it is asking to connect to iTunes. Can't understand why?

    You can try borrowing one. These cables are common for Android, Kindle etc. users.
    Here are some steps and notes to try:
    MANY people are reporting they've had to try multiple micro USB cables to find one that works. I got one that worked from a neighbor.
    For clarification, this needs to be a "micro" USB, not a "mini" USB
    Some people have also reported they've had to try the Restore process more than once.
    1. Unplug Apple TV and move it to your computer running latest version of iTunes.
    2. Quit iTunes if running.
    3. Plug micro USB cable to the back of the Apple TV.
    4. Power the Apple TV using  the AC cable.
    5. iTunes shoud either launch itself (a good indication that the micro USB cable you're using is compatible), or launch iTunes.
    6. Click Restore. Software will download and install (big file).

  • Repairing permissions before and after updating software

    What is the reason to repair permissions before and after updating software? This may sound like a stupid question to many of you, but I am new to computers and I am trying to learn how and why of some of the things of my PowerBook. I installed some updates without repairing permissions. Did I install some software updates the wrong way? Thank you.

    This is a topic which will draw as many emphatic for and against responses as overnight shut down or not, defrag or not, optimise or not, and so on.
    I agree with Neil. I believe that OS X has progressed sufficiently that repair permissions has become redundant and so I do not do it on any regular basis.
    Some folk may refer you to an Apple Support Article 303602. That Article in its 4 May 2006 version, titled "Top 10 Tips to Keep Your Mac in Top Form" suggested Repair Permissions should be done "after upgrading or installing new software". The Article was however revised on 15 May 2006 to be titled "Top Tips to Keep Your Mac in Top Form" and the item on Repair Permissions [along with two other recommended maintenance tips] was removed. It is my view that the conclusion to be drawn here is that Apple no longer considers Repair Permissions to be a required maintenance procedure.
    Many users have adopted a "Repair Permissions" mantra for a cure-all over several years. I dropped it sometime in 10.3.
    But, to each his own.

  • My external hard drive won't mount and shows a 'sibling link error'. I've seached the forums but need a very dumbed down set of tips for the computer illiterate- help?

    The forums have suggestions on this topic but I don't understand the lingo used.

    Remember card catalogs in libraries?   The computer has its own card catalog that tells it where all the files are.  That's known as the directory.
    Sibling link error indicates something is wrong with one of the cards, making the computer lost.  Now the computer will put forth a bunch of gobbledy gook to fix this error, but you can do it. 
    Since the issue is with the external hard disk, you must select it with Disk Utility's First Aid selected.   There you will repair the disk.   If it can't repair the disk, you will need to use a more powerful tool.  The question is, is your data backed up elsewhere, or is it not?  If it is not, the same symptoms of a bad directory can also implicate a dying hard drive.  You'll want a data recovery tool if you aren't backed up.  If you are backed up, and there is nothing that can't be replaced on that external hard drive, get Alsoft Disk Warrior.  This should fix most bad sibling link errors repair disk can't.  When it can't, you can give up on the external hard disk.
    P.S. Permissions has NOTHING to do with the directory.  Do not worry about issues with permissions or attempting to repair it at this stage.

  • File adapter error after updating to SP19 (INBOUND_BINDING_ERROR)

    File adapter error after updating to SP19 (INBOUND_BINDING_ERROR)
    Hi all,
      im having some troubles after the installation of SP19 (from SP16 in NW04) with File Adapter (File->Idoc scenario).
    In message monitoring (Adapter Engine), I have several messages with status "System Error". The error text is :
    <i>Received XI System Error. ErrorCode: INBOUND_BINDING_ERROR
    ErrorText:   ErrorStack: Error in sender agreement for party '', service 'LEGACY_DEV', interface namespace 'http://XXXXX.com/XXXXXX', interface 'INTERFACE_OB' No sender agreement found for , , , , ,</i>
    Im sure that the Integration Directory settings have not been changed. So I tried the following, but the problem persists:
    - Deactivation/Activation of File Adapter channel
    - check that user XIISUSER is not locked
    - checked SXI_CACHE (it seems ok)
    - Many CPA full refresh
    - Dummy modifications of File Adapter channels (a dummy modification of the description)
    - Reboot J2EE
    I've seen that someone else had problems after upgrading to SP19. I'd really appreciate any suggestion of how to solve my issue.
    Thank you

  • TS3276 After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder for one of my accounts.

    After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder?

    Are you storing Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server via your .Mac account with Mail?
    If so, do you access your .Mac account with an email client on another computer or regularly access your account via webmail on another computer?
    If not, any other reason you need to store Drafts and Sent messages on the server?
    While composing a message with Mail, it is temporarily saved in the account's Drafts mailbox so sounds like something went wrong with the process between finishing and sending the message with Drafts and Sent being stored on the server.
    If you don't have any need for this, better to store Drafts and Sent messages locally on the hard drive with Mail.
