Solution for File Vault Error.

I just got off the phone from Apple Tech support (Holding for 20 minutes on a 10th attempt) I could not get past the log-in screen. "File Vault error needs to be repaired". This is what Brandon from Apple told me to do.
1)Restart Computer holding down the "c" key.
2)Follow the onscreen instructions until you get to "Select Drive to install to"
3)Select your drive-click customize
4)Select the 2nd option, (install and do back of of files) and uncheck the box below the option...sorry I can't remember what the option is...Im in the middle of trying it now.
5)continue.
6)If you have already screened the install DVD, there is no reason to do this step again, it is ok to skip to install.
If this does not work you need to erase and install, however, you will need to do a file transfer to another mac computer via fire-wire by holding down the "T" key during start up prior to erasing the drive and installation of Leopard.

I would really love to try this, as I am having the same problem, but even after removing everything possible in the customization, I don't have enough disk space to do so. Probably because I used it all installing the operating system the FIRST time. I don't want to have to do an erase and re-install. I didn't back up nearly enough stuff last time because I was assured I wouldn't need to.
Now, it's after hours so I can't talk to apple and I am stuck with my husband's PC. Ew.

  • Solution for PDE-PLI011 Error.

    Hi buddies....I've a form with an attached PL/SQL Library which is placed on a network shared drive. Last day, when I opened my form in Form Builder-6i, it gave an error and closed the form builder application. And since that time whenever I try to open that form, it gives the following error and doesn't open:
    PDE-PLI011 A tools common schema table is missing from the object store.
    I think attached library has created errors in that form and doesn't let it open. However same PL/SQL library is working well with other forms. So have u peeps any solution for this problem???

    I don't understand why you don't have metalink access when you're working with Oracle tools...
    But here it is:

    SOLUTION
    ========
    An FMB file used as a reference form had its extension changed from .FMB to
    .PLL. Changing the file extension back to .FMB corrected the problem.
    or
    Form Source File FMB has reduced in Size
    cause: Unknown Corruption in Form.
    fix:
    Revert to a back up of the form
    3.) Reasions for this problem
    A) FTP of FMB/MMB/PLL was done in ASCII mode, and should have been done in
    BINARY mode
    2) The FTP did not complete, and the FMB/MMB/PLL was only partially transferred
    (To check, compare the byte sizes of the files on win32 against Unix.
    If these are the same and the problem persists, a checksum
    (crc32/MD5/SHA etc) of the file on the 2 systems can be generated on the OS,
    and be compared to see if the files are truly identical.

  • How do I use the remote wipe feature for file vault 2 / lion?

    I tried to find a preference panel. I know that for the ios you have to link/setup your device. I tried the find my iphone web site to see if my computer was listed there and it isn't at the moment. Is this new lion feature only available later with icloud? I checked the lion feature page and it lists it with file vault 2 with no asterisk so my guess is it should already now work.
    It would be a pity to think you've setup your computer to find out that you hadn't "activated" your computer/laptop
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm out of the country on business but probably the only way to figure this out is to call apple or drop by their retail stores. If no one figures this out (and I'm pretty sure there is nothing to figure out at this time). I'll try to call apple when I'm back in august.
    I find it wrong that apple touts this as a feature with no disclaimer. I'm a loyal mac fan for twenty years so I'll continue to buy their prodcuts and I did buy lion the day it came out. BUT a disclaimer (as they have done in the past) would have been nice. I know of at least two mac users who usually don't buy new OS's until they get it with their new laptops that specifically bought lion for this feature since they had read about it in a newspaper article.
    I also thought this was one of the more useful features in lion since my family already "lost" an iPad and we liked to delete our data after our alarm and message didn't work for a day.
    I'm sure  apple has it's reasons for not offering the feature just yet but in that case a disclaimer is a must. I would probably drop the reference remote wipe until I have the infrastructure in place.
    Cheers,
    Phillyman

  • Recovery Partition mandatory for File Vault and unencrypted TM Backup?

    I recently had to setup my Macbook Pro from scratch meaning erasing the whole disk and start from there.
    The update to Lion took already place a while ago and I had File Vault active. After making a last backup using
    TM I erased the disk and all partitions including Recovery partition and used the Leopard system DVD to boot
    the machine.
    From there I used the restore function to restore my TM backup to the MacBook. However, as the drive was
    not partioned and not formated, I had to do this manually. Apparently, the recovery process via TM does not include
    that. After system recovery, I booted from the Macbook and all apps and configuration seemed ok.
    I was a little surprised to see that I was able to do this recovery without being asked for ID and password of the user's File Vault access
    or the File Vault recovery key. All I needed was the TM ID and password (which is different from the owners ID and password)
    I am not sure if this is supposed to work like this but I looks rather easy to gain access to application an data of another user if that
    is all it takes?
    Now booting Lion again, I checked File Vault and noticed it was disabled although it was enabled for quite a while and long time
    before I took the latest backup. I could not turn it on, after providing a recovery key and asking me wether I wanted to write it down
    or safe it with Apple which I declined I wanted to reboot the notebook to start encryption but stopped saying my partition or volume
    would not support File Vault. This was GUID and MacOS Extended Journal partition and volume which to my knowledge would
    certainly support File Vault. In fact this is basically what I had before when File Vault was turned on and running.
    I called Apple support a few times. The second agent told me that it does not work because there is not recovery partition on my
    system but there was when I took the latest backup and I do have other means to get the recovery screen. Anyway it seems that
    File Vault required a local Recovery partition and I was wondering if anyone can tell me why this dependency exist. If I write down the
    recovery key, why would I need it to be stored on my disk as well?
    Also, if anyone has an idea if there is a way of creating a local recovery partition without having to go through the lenghty process of installing
    Leopard then upgrade to Lion and install all the apps and configure the OS again, would be great? I assume when I am back on Lion and use the TM
    backup for recovery, I probably end up with having the Recovery partition deleted and start from scratch again.
    I am a little concerned about the fact that it seems so easy to gain access to a protected backup and that the TM restore process does not include
    restoring partition and volumes as well. Who knows how many other dependencies exist and users have to reinstall their system again after recovery.
    I was following the recovery instruction of Apple but perhaps someone knows a better way to do this?

    Just an update, I went ahead and installed Lion again over the existing TM restored installation using the Lion Update file and at least File Vault is working. Interestingly, I still do not have a Recover partition so obviously something new for Apple Support to learn.

  • Default operation for File Vault

    Just a suggestion for the folks at Apple. When I shut down, the "save disk space" dialog does not always immediately appear. Sometimes I walk away from the computer and come back later with the dialog still open. Why not put in a default similar to the log-off or shut down; if the decision isn't made in a minute, just cancel the "save space" procedure?
    stu h

    It is really annoying that the "save disk space" dialogue appears such a long time after I have commanded the computer to shut down. As a result the computer often remains switched on after I have packed up and gone away. Is there no option that allows File Vault to save disk space routinely whenever I shut down?

  • Time Table for File Vault 2 FIPS-140-2 Certification

    I believe I read something that Lion/File Vault 2 encryption was submitted to NIST for FIPS-140-2 certification.   I know that IOS 5 is first to be certified, but does anyone know the time table for Lion/File Vault 2 to be certified?     I was told a few months ago that it would be certified by 12/31/2011.   Any update would be appreciated.  

    Disclosure: I work for NIST, but not in the Computer Security Div. (the group that issues the certificates).
    Looking at the NIST list of validated modules, Lion's crypto module recieved its certification on 3/30/12, but I don't know if this applies to all apps or just the libraries.  It doesn't apply to 3rd party apps yet (note says it will be re-evaluated for that use).  I wouldn't think File Vault is a "third party" app. 
    I'll post more if I find out anything.

  • Is there a solution for Time Machine error?

    I got an error in Time Machine saying backup had failed, a couple of days ago. Spent the next day or two trawling the web and found thousands of postings from people with the same error, but no solution.
    (At least, some people had a solution - they were using PC-formatted hard drives.)
    I've been using Time Machine for a few weeks, and it has only now taken a dislike to my external hard drive, which is connected by FireWire.
    Is there a solution to this problem, or should I revert to using SuperDuper, which I was using successfully before?
    I haven't put in lots of information about the apps I'm running, because this is a general query rather than a specific one. If there's a solution, I'll use it; otherwise I'll wipe the drive and go back to using SuperDuper.

    OisinOg wrote:
    Pondini - Thank you for your slightly hostile reply.
    On the contrary. The statement was: +"found thousands of postings from people with the same error, but no solution."+ I don't know where you found thousands of posts -- there are many here, but certainly not thousands. If you're talking about, say, a Google search, if you actually look at them, many are duplicates, unrelated to your problem, or unrelated to Macs at all -- and there are a number of solutions that seem to have fixed many of the real ones.
    The error message was the standard one: "Time Machine Error - Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory."
    There's most likely another, better message in your logs. Thus the suggestion about Time Machine Buddy. You can also use the Console app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Click on Show Log List, then navigate in the sidebar to your system.log (or system.log.0.bz2, etc. for previous ones). You can filter for backupd to get the same TM messages as the widget, but I prefer to view the full log at the date/time in question, as messages from other concurrent processes may have a clue.
    I've gone through the suggestions in some of the helpful replies to those thousands of postings, by wiping my drive, erasing it and reformatting it, first in two partitions using the GUID method in Disk Utility, then in a single partition. But Time Machine still doesn't want to back up to it.
    Sounds a bit like a problem communicating with the drive. The logs may clarify that.
    The hard drive of my computer is 250GB; the external drive is 300GB. Both are SATA drives; the external is connected by FireWire.
    How full are they?
    Thanks for your suggestion of downloading the Time Machine Buddy widget; I'll give it a last try tonight.
    What is the difference between a SuperDuper clone and a Time Machine backup?
    The initial backup of both copies almost everything on your HD, excluding only some caches, temp files, etc., although you can exclude other things. This takes quite a while, of course. Thereafter, only the items that changed are backed-up.
    SuperDuper (and CarbonCopyCloner, which I use, and other, similar apps) are most often used to make bootable "clones" identical copies of your HD -- if your HD fails, you can boot and run from them immediately. With TM, once your HD is repaired/replaced, you restore your system to it from your TM backup.
    Score one for the clones, but TM has it's advantages, too (which is why many of us run both).
    First is, CCC and SD look at every file and folder on your HD to see what changed. This is quite time-consuming and CPU-intensive, so most of us run it once a day (or less often), usually automatically at, say, 3 am. TM, however, runs hourly, but uses an internal File System Event Log of changes, so it is far quicker and less intrusive. There are exceptions, but most users rarely even notice the backups unless they see the icon revolving. On my small system, for example, TM rarely runs over 30 seconds; CCC is at least 15 minutes.
    Second, not only does TM keep previous versions of changed files, but it manages the space and backups for you. It keeps those hourly backups for 24 hours; except the first of the day becomes a daily backup which is kept for a month; one per week becomes a weekly backup that is kept for as long as there's space (it will fill the drive/partition). But it's smart enough, as it deletes the old weeklies, that it won't delete it's copy of anything that still exists on your HD.
    There isn't room to have two 250GB sections on a 300GB drive. I suppose I could get another 250GB drive - I have an IDE enclosure somewhere - but I don't fancy the expense right now.
    Your CCC or SD partition only needs to be as large as your HD, although in a pinch it only needs to be somewhat larger than what's actually used on your HD. If you don't have room for both on the one drive, an even better solution might be to get a pair of smaller portable HDs for CCC/SD. Use one daily for, say, a week, then take it to your safe deposit box, workplace, relative's house, etc. and start with the other. Now you're also protected against fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike on your power lines, etc.

  • Macs! I have found a solution for an u44m1p7 error.

    This might not be the cause for your problem, but have a look at the error log (shown when you press More Information after the update fails) and see if there is any mention of Adobe folder in Applications not being there to load the necessary patches.
    It relates to Applications/Adobe folder.
    Look at your folder, then see if it is actually a proper folder, and not a tiny Unix file (a dark grey icon). If it is little file delete it.
    Re install the photoshop or indesign app, and it should work.
    For non techies like me, the reason is that the patches need a home to go in. The computer is getting confused between a folder and a file with the same 'Adobe' name. Now you've deleted it the installer can create it's own in that place and put all the patches in there.
    Adobe team- please check this and let people know.
    If anyone else has this problem, share if it has worked.
    Here's a pic of what the particular error looks like, outlined in orange.

    Hi RebeccaWooWah,
    Please check "Applications" folder, you would see a file named "Adobe".
    Kindly delete the file, as it is corrupt.
    Create a folder "Adobe" in Applications folder, issue should be fixed.
    Thanks,

  • Solution for Visual composer error: 32k span and 64k byte limit

    Dear friends,
    I am getting the error in visual composer 32k span and 64k byte limit since last half year,
    some time error will get resolved by adding layer in to model OR adding some table and form to model OR reduce the animation effect OR even by doing tab strip view for layer model, doing nested ivew.
    but this solution not usefull for every time.
    what should we do for this error(32k span and 64k byte limit),
    is it solved by updating EP version or by EP java stack or any other updates which will solve the This VC error.

  • Solution for AAM Updater Error : U44M1I210

    After getting Creative Cloud a couple of days ago then running into Updater Error U44M1l210 over and over and making the mistake of calling tech support (which was no help - "just reset it / download from the site" - even though resetting does nothing and the site doesn't have all the updates AAM does), I've finally got a working solution.
    Essentially it's a permissions issue. Not sure why it affects some and not others, but I was logged in as an administrator and it still failed to have permissions to update despite admin password entry.
    So, here's what you do. You need to open AAM and Update with superuser permissions.
    1. Open Terminal
    2. Copy and Paste the following, then hit enter:
    sudo "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp/core/Adobe Application Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/PDApp"
    3. It will prompt you for your password, enter it.
    4. The Adobe Application Manager will open with sudo (elevated/superuser) permissions.
    5. Open one of your Creative Cloud programs.
    6. Go to Help>Update...
    7. The updater dialog will open. Update as normal, it will work this time.

    After multiple phone calls and emails to tech support about this issue I was hoping that this would solve the issue for me. I've tried command line fixes a few times now and like the others this one doesn't fix the issue for me.
    Still get:
    There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I210
    I can install applications but can't update them (OSX 10.9). I guess I could delete and install each time there is an update, but major PITA.
    Unfortunately calling Adobe tech support is a very frustrating experience. I've had dropped calls, had to repeat my information every time (spelling out each letter of my email address with a word) and finally get offered the same solution that doesn't work.

  • Is there a solution for the MCH1210 errors in SAPOSCOL ?

    Hello all,
    When starting to work with changing the percentage of processor for the LPAR running SAP we are getting MCH1210 errors in the SAPOSCOL job. When searching for a solution I ran into a IBM knowledgebase item.
    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas2276fbb6932f936c7862574f70041ed83
    The version we are running at the moment is:
    SAPOSCOL version  COLL 20.95 640 - AS/400 SAPOSCOL Version 24 Sep 2007
    Apparently there is no PTF to fix this problem, and when searching for a new version of SAPOSCOL I could not find a reference to the problem we are experiencing.
    We are planning of running a second partition, a SAP Content Server (Linux), and would like to use the flexability of the platform to work with a shared processor pool.
    Any suggestion to get rid of the MCH1210 errors ?
    Kind Regards, Rudi van Helvoirt

    Hi Rudi,
    I have tried to apply the patch "on the fly" (while the system was up) and ran into some errors, so I do not recommend that. What you could do is this:
    1. Create a copy of the kernel library (I recommend SAVLIB to a SAVF, then RSTLIB to a different library name, see SAP Note 1097599).
    2. Run the APYR3FIX command for the AS4RMTCCMS patch on the copied library.
    3. Rename AS4RMTCCMS on the original kernel library into some dummy name or move it to another library.
    4. Move AS4RMTCCMS from the copied library into original kernel library.
    Since AS4RMTCCMS at your current level does not work anyway, you should not see additional problems when renaming or moving it.
    Kind regards, Christian.

  • Solution for "Database Connector Error: 'Unexpected'" issue

    **NOTE -- reposting as the previous post became corrupted.
    Some customers have encountered an issue in Crystal Reports when attempting to report from Salesforce.com data.
    The problem looks like this. You are able to log in successfully to your Salesforce.com instance. However, when you attempt to expand your Salesforce.com connection, you get an error that states - Database Connector Error: 'Unexpected' - and you are unable to proceed.
    This problem occurs because the JVM Heap Size setting for the Salesforce.com driver is not large enough to handle the number of objects (tables) in your Salesforce.com instance. This problem is easily resolved by increasing this setting and then restarting Crystal Reports.
    The default CRConfig.xml path for CR 2008 is : C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java
    You will find the JVM setting in <DataDriverCommon> section.
    <JVMMaxHeap>64000000</JVMMaxHeap>
    <JVMMinHeap>32000000</JVMMinHeap>
    It will vary as to how much you need to increase your heap size to access your Salesforce.com instance. If you change the JVMMaxHeap to 128000000 that should be sufficient for most users but you may need to increase it further.
