Slapd failing to boot after 10.5.6 update
so I updated my server ( mac pro 10.5 server ) to 10.5.6 yesterday, and I noticed that now kerberos and opendirectory are both stopped. My log keeps turning out this:

I have opendirectory set as the Open Directory Master, not replicated. SSL enabled. Any help would be appreciated. Currently none of my network computers are accepting logins.
thanks,
Neil
enable slapd debugging in 10.5 via:
sudo slapconfig -enableslapdlog
then HUP slapd or issue:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist
sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist
You can up the debugging by editing that plist (back it up first !)
by changing
<array>
<string>/usr/libexec/slapd</string>
<string>-d</string>
<string>0</string>
change 0 to 1-4 to increase the verbosity of debugging info (start with 0 for sure).
See
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/utility/db_recover .html
but also be sure to read
http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server//2007/Oct/msg00279.html

Kernel panic on first boot after 10.6.8 update
Hi,
Here are the fact:
1) I systematically get a kernel panic on first boot after an attempt to update to 10.6.8 (was able to revert to 10.6.7 using Time Machine; now I'm running my tests on a clone). While doing the update, there are NO USB connexion to my laptop, nor ethernet connexion. Only the power cable.
2) I DO NOT use the software Hands Off which is known to cause such an issue
3) I've tested this on two different hard drive (with a clone of my system)
4) I disabled all third app on startup just to be sure this wasn't a conflict problem
5) After a kernel panic, I'm always able to boot in safe mode
6) I did try both the normal update and the combo update (same result)
Now I'm kinda stuck. The next test I'm thinking performing is to update while in safe mode. But I don't know if it will help.
And yes, my permissions are all fine. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? I believe I need to be in 10.6.8 in order to update to Lion?
Many thanks in advance!
ParneixHi,
Sorry about that. Below you'll find the log of my latest kernel panic.
I did follow instructions suggested by user "ds store". The only "kext" file that I've got (by running the commands in the Terminal) was related to the software LittleSnitch. I downloaded it again in order to run the uninstaller. I'll try again to update to 10.6.8 under those conditions and report here.

Will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update
MacBook Pro will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update.
I started my machine and did a software update. Only the camera update needed. So installed and when required I pressed restart. It restarted and did install. Then restarted again. I expected to get to the login screen and it turned itself off. Tried three more times. Each time shutting off. I unplugged everything, and pressed start waiting for log in window. No it shutdown before the log in window. I then tried safe mode and that did not work either on three more occasions.I have managed to resolve some issues. I can now restart the machine via a CD boot. If I do cmd C into something like tech tool pro, then restart from that disks menu it restarts every time.
If I try a safe start it shuts down. If I try a normal start it shuts down. I have managed to repair permissions and that cleared up some start up permissions but with no improvement to the boot problem. The only way to load is via the cmd-C boot option. Any other ideas? -

Expected in: /Library/Application Support/iWork '09/Frameworks/SFArchiving.framework/Versions/A/SFArchivingI'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

Microsoft Office Apps fail to work after 10.6.7 update
Has anyone else's office apps failed to open after installing the OS update?
This is a brand new iMac only 5 days old using office 2011 with current updates.
Regards.
Mike.After doing some Internet research and speaking with a second-level Apple tech, together we came up with the following solution.
Shut down, then start in safe-mode (hold shift key while re-starting). This will clear the font cache and re-build it. After doing this, when I started Word 2004 it took some time, but it showed the following fonts as corrupt: APC Courier, Bastion, Chicago TU, Courier TU, Latinski - and indicated they should be removed. Word then started up even though I just clicked OK to those messages and didn't remove them. I then re-started Word and it came up normally even though those fonts are still in the font book. By the way, I have downloaded the freeware app "Fontnuke-1.17," but haven't used it yet. There is a shareware app, "Fontfinagler," which may also be useful if safe mode doesn't work for you.

Restored 10.6 OS from CD and fails to Boot after Combo upgrade
I have a clean install of Lion on my internal drive and an external clone of the HD from the previous Snow Leopard install. The Clone worked until I updated via the latest auto update. I have App's and other settings to transfer to Lion from this clone so want to get it working so I can ensure all the App's are upgraded to work on Lion or are deleted.
After the external drive failed to boot I reinstalled the system from my Snow Leopard Install CD, not the 24-inch iMac (Mid 2007) restore CD.
I then used Auto updater to install the combo and other updates to 10.6.8 this booted fine until I upgraded Safari 5.1 and Java - the last items that came up on the software updater. Upon restart, the boot failed in the last portion of the boot and at this point the Apple emblem went away and the round circle with diaginoal line apeared.
On starting with the option key down, the clone disk 10.6.8 shows as being available, along with the internal Drive, for booting.
Starting with "command + S" gets through to the last line of the process then states "waiting on Root"
When compaired to a Snow OS that boots OK it is the last line of code before the curser is ready for entering a command.
Can anyone tell me what to look for or how to repair this error so that I can get my data across to Lion. ThanksWell, in case anyone else has a similar problem I managed to fix the system by the following process:
I reinstalled 10.6.0 from the retail Snow Leopard CD. The drive Booted OK but I needed to be upgraded to 10.6.8 to use the migration tool so I then upgraded using the Software Update utility. Boot failed again at this point and could not be fixed by anything I did.
I then reinstalled 10.6.0 from the CD to try again, but the HD would not boot this time around.
I downloaded CleanApp by Synium Software (http://www.syniumsoftware.com/cleanapp/) on a commendation from the famous eBook, "Take Control of installing Lion" by Joe Kissell of TidBits. I used this from my Lion HD to remove all orphan files, PPC files and Apps, and other junk. Snow Leapard still not Booting after repairs by various disk repair utilities including Apples.
I Booted from my internal HD using Lion and ran SuperDuper to make a new Clone of the failed HD on a second external HD. Took a day and a night to run while I was at work, but the new clone would not boot at this stage so I ran SuperDuper again using the "Smart Update Backup" option. This just adds changed files or missing files to the clone. At the end of this process I had a running Clone that would boot on 10.6.0.
I Booted from the second Clone and used the Software Update utility then to up grade in the two stages the Auto system used to bring my OS up to 10.6.8. This was successful and I had a Bootable Snow Leopard with no old Apps from which to Migrate my data. -
Arch fails to boot after installation (BIOS mode)
I finished my Arch installation, following the Beginner's Guide, and once I unmounted the partitions and rebooted, GRUB failed to boot into Arch. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is though. Basically what happens is I power on the machine, the Dell splash screen comes up, GRUB loads, I choose
Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel
the kernel and ramdisk attempt to load, then some message about "recovering journal" appears, and then I return back to the Dell splash screen. The same thing happens even if I choose the second option
Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel (Fallback initramfs)
However, when I choose to boot Win XP everything boots just fine. My apologies for the quality of the videos and pictures.
Here's a video of what happens:
http://youtu.be/uC96kX6iTjI
I suspect this has to do with this error I got when I generated the "grub.cfg". Although I'm not entirely sure because my understanding is that this error would affect booting Win XP which in fact boots perfectly fine.
Error (and no I'm not using any lvm volumes)
http://imgur.com/qqxpoGG
I believe these are the portions of the "grub.cfg" that load Arch and Win XP. I got these by pressing "e" while on their menu entry in the GRUB bootloader.
Arch (I had to scroll down to see the rest, hence two pictures)

Win XP

Any idea how I can fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated and please be patient, I know, I'm a noob.
* I'm not sure if this is of any significance but I had a problem very similar to this when trying to get the Arch install to boot via usb (this computer doesn't have CD/DVD drive). I solved it by following this excerpt from the Beginner's Guide.
Troubleshooting boot problems
If you are using an Intel video chipset and the screen goes blank during the boot process, the problem is likely an issue with Kernel Mode Setting. A possible workaround may be achieved by rebooting and pressing
e
over the entry that you are trying to boot (i686 or x86_64). At the end of the string type
nomodeset
and press
Enter
Here's a video of what it looked like:
http://youtu.be/vXRcbU0zdto
The computer specs:
OS: Windows XP Professional 32 bit Version 2002 Service Pack 3
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.00 GHz
RAM: 2 GB DDR2
HDD: 80 GBHi,
why did you not try adding nomodeset with the regular boot? During the net-install no video drivers will be installed;
you have to install them after reboot after installing xorg. The (video)problem you had with booting from usb is still
present. -
Macbook Pro fails to boot after any OS update.
Hi, I've been a PC user all my life so please be patient!
I have a mid 2010 MBP running 10.6.3 with Win7 on a boot camp partition. I have read and followed the instructions regarding boot issues from many sources on these forums but nothing so far has solved my problem.
I can install anything via software update as long as it isnt an OS update. Any OS update installs fine but the MBP will not reboot afterwards; I get an endless spinner. I cant boot into safe mode either, endless spinner again after the progress bar dissappears.
I have verified and repaired the disk in single user mode and via the disk utilities tool after booting into the install DVD, I have repaired permissions I have tried just about every instruction I could find, I have read posts where people are talking about replacing ACPIPPlatform.kext and IOPCIFamily.kext but I'm not sure this applies to me as they seem to be saying to lift those files from 10.6.6 / 10.6.7 and I cant event get to 10.6.4.
Just to be clear, I cannot update to anything above 10.6.3. I have tried combo and single updates for every patch version from 10.6.4 up to 10.6.8 and the MBP will not reboot after any of the OS updates. The only way I can get the machine to boot again is to wipe the Mac partition and re-install 10.6.3. So, am I doomed to be stuck on 10.6.3 forever?
To add insult to injury, of course Windows 7 works perfectly
I have no obvious HD issues, once I reinstall 10.6.3 everything works perfectly.
It did cross my mind that the only thing I haven't tried is to strip the win partition off completely and put the MBP back to pure mac and see if the updates work then but thats a lot of hassle (its a dev machine) so I thought I'd ask if any of you fine people might be able to help me out before I go for the nuclear option.
Thanks.Put a bootable backup/clone of your 10.6.3 volume onto an ext FWHD using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, boot from it, and try updating to 10.l6.8. If that works, then finish updating everything, and reverse the process. If not, then, try the nuclear option. I don't do windoze, so you'll have to figure out to back that stuff up before proceeding.

Imac won't boot after 10.6.8 update
Not sure where to start with this...
Just tried to boot after the latest 10.6.8 update and have the grey screen with the spinning disk.I would suggest that you do the following as a start:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If the drive is OK then download the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo installer and reinstall the update. See if that resolves your problem.
If the above does not fix the problem then you will need to reinstall Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/. -
HT6114 MAC Air slow to boot after 10.9.2 update.
I have a 2011 MAC Air. After the 10.9.2 upgrade my laptop takes about 20 minutes to boot from power off. Once started it works fine, it is just extremely slow to boot. Prior to the update I could boot in about 10 seconds. Any thoughts how to resolve this issue?
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, 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.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo). -

Hi after updating to 10.8.3 i'm stucked in the grey boot screen.
Booting in verbose mode shows me
disk0s2 : media is not present
in single user mode if i launch fsck -yf it shows me:
Failed to issue COM RESET succesfully after 3 attempts. Failing..
disk0s2: no suck device
update/reload mount for / failed: Device not configured
The only way to make the system active is to boot with TARGET option and select the disk.then it boots properly..
any help how to fix that s°*T of update?
Thank youHold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start in Recovery HD. Then, open Disk Utility, select your OS X partition on the sidebar and verify the disk. Is it OK? If not, repair it.
If it doesn't show any problem, the update damaged the operating system. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything you had stored before updating.
Sometimes, problems like this happen after a OS X update, and we don't know exactly their reasons. Maybe a third-party extension, maybe a corrupted OS X package, maybe a hard disk failure. To prevent problems like yours, I recommend to install a maintenance update as OS X 10.8.3 downloading the Combo version from the Apple webpage. This version gives less problems than the version you download from the App Store and it can be used to update all your Macs downloading that update once -
My Mac Pro won't boot after installing the latest update
Im running the latest OSX on my mac and recenty did a small updated that i believe contain a few security thing and bug fixs but when restarting the machine after the update it would not boot again after the apple logo has appeard apple script is displayed on the screen contain what i think is boot script failing to run. I have been able to boot the system in safe mode. does anyone have and solution for this as i realy don't want to reinstall the OS
ThanksThe most common cause for "Won't boot after software Update" is Directory Damage that existed before the Update, but was made worse by adding files during the Update.
The most common cure for that Directory Damage problem is to boot in Safe Mode, which takes five minutes to repair the disk, then comes up demanding your username and password, even if you normally auto-login.
Rarely, third-party add-ons are made obsolete by an update. In this case, booting in Safe Mode (with few Apple extensions and NO third-party extensions loaded) works fine, even if normal mode does not work.
Have you tried normal mode again after your Safe Boot? -
Mac mini won't boot after 10.6.8 Update
I've recently installed the latest update and now I'm stuck on the grey logo with the spinning wheel.
I've reset the pram etc and when sarting in verbose mode it seems to be stalling at the following stage.
CSRUSBBluetoothHCIController::setupHardware super returned 0
and won't move on from there.
I've unplugged all usbs so all there is plugged in is power and the monitor. Even tried formatting the drive and restoring from time machine to the backup taken before the update.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
CheersHi, I was having a similar problem.
When I restarted in 'verbose' mode, it would get as far as:
CSRUSBBluetoothHCIController::setupHardware super returned 0
still waiting for root device
still waiting for root device
... etc...
The same thing happened when I tried to boot from a DiskWarrior DVD, so at that stage I assumed there was a hardware fault.
However, the system would boot into 'safe mode'.
Then I had a completly random stroke of luck:
I plugged in an external USB HD (to get some files off), and it complained that the kext:
/System/Library/Extensions/IOStorageFamily.kext was broken.
So I took a copy (from a friends laptop), installed it, and guess what !!
It worked! The machine now boots happily again.
(although I can't explain why the DiskWarrior DVD failed to boot, but frankly, who cares)
Horray for me.
