System Crash in Mac OS 10.5.5: How to restore my data?

A system crash left me unable to log in to my computer, so I had no choice but to archive and reinstall.  My Paml desktop ap is now gone, but this left my Palm user data file intact in user/document/palm/users/myname/files to install.  I need contacts on my computer, but not in the field, so I haven't used my old Visor handheld in years, and it's uncharged and empty, thus I cna't simply sync.  When I reinstall Palm desktop, is there danger of overwriting my user data?  Also, once I finish, how do I import the old data?
Thanks.

Thanks, I've made my copies.  Now I've run into this, which I've put on a separate post too:
When I run the installer, it gets to 758 of 791 items, then stops and puts up a box saying "Installation did no complete successfully.  Do you wish to attempt to reinstall the software or to quit?"
 Repeated attempts bring identical results.  Any thoughts?

  • Sudden system crashes for Mac mini 2011

    I just came home from a 2-week vacation and my computer has begun to crash and reboot, seemingly when I need the computer to do some task more intensive than Internet browsing.
    It started when I tried uploading pictures into iPhoto via my camera's SD card--and it invariably happens whenever I try this--but it has also crashed and rebooted during simple multitasking procedures, like clicking to check my download progress in Safari as my iPhone is syncing in iTunes. Yesterday I had to contend with the white (grey?) screen of death for a few hours as I tried different methods. Fiddling around in Safe Mode let me fix that problem, at least, but the sudden system crashes still persist.
    Could my computer have been affected by a lack of use over the last two weeks in the summer heat? It's been hot in the house, but not exceptionally so for August. And before I left I shut it down and unplugged the power cord.
    Here are the first several dozen lines of the error report from the most recent crash. If anyone could offer me some help, I'd be very grateful.

    Remove the "MacKeeper" crapware as follows, then reboot and test. If there's no improvement, post again.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions, nor do I intend to repeat the test.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. A dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. That's the only useful feature of "MacKeeper:" it deletes itself. Reboot.
    Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
    Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • How to restore mac os 10.4.11, how to restore mac os 10.4.11

    my mac g5 is not starting up it takes time on start up i have tried to reset PRAM , is not working the same at holding the mac button + v to safe boot is not startng up what is with it?

    The "v" key at startup is not Safe Mode. Try holding the Shift key down and restart for Safe Mode. This will disable extensions and help it start. It also checks some things out.
    Can you start it up from your Tiger disc? Hold the C key down at startup until you see the Apple.
    Your hard drive may be going kaput. Hope you have a good backup.

  • System Crashed but all Oracle Files Saved

    Hi All,
    My Live System is Crashed due to some hardware Failure but Fortunately Hard Drive was Saved and all of my Oracle Data (Control, Datafile, Redo Log Files) are saved, Now I'm making a new Instance, Can anybody tell me that If I Paste my all of the ORADATA Files in New Instance, will that work, there is one Datafile only for Indexes, Will I make new Indexes on that particular Tables? Please help me in this regard.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Imran

    Hi,
    Thanks for your Help, I've created a New Instance and then copy/paste the Files (Control, Redo Log & Data Files) in the ORACLE Directory *"/u01/app/oracle/prodcut/10.2.0/oradata/orcl"* , and then try to open the Database but It Mounts up and gave me Error on Opening Stage.
    Well, After that I run the "Alter Database Rename" Command and specified the Directory for the Files where I had placed in my Current Instance.
    I tried to open the Database and it become Startup. That's it.
    Thanks again for your help, All of the Data is available there, but 1 thing I wanna tell you that When my System Crashed, my Database was Up and Running & I lost 3 days data.
    Regards,

  • Mac OS 10.5.8 system crashes

    Mine is a Mac Pro 1,1 with 6gb Ram, 4 cores @ 3ghz, 27" cinema display. I've had 10.5.8 installed since it was released. In the last few days I've had 3 or 4 system crashes, where it's like a blind comes down over the screen and a message says to do a hard restart on the machine. On two of those occasions when the machine comes back up there's been a dialog to send a report to Apple. I'll paste in one of those reports below.
    All Apple software updates are applied. Looking through it I can't see a lot of clues as to what area the problem is in. I guess HFS is the file system, but that aside can anyone give me some help here? Does backupd refer to the Time Machine process, by any chance? I have that running all the time.
    I can't pick anything that seems to trigger these crashes. I had WoW going both times, and EyeTV for the first one but not the second or third ones.

HOWEVER I AM ABLE TO GET INTO DISK UTIL AND REPAIRED MY HD AND RECOVERY HD HOWEVER THE OTHER IS STILL THERE AND WILL NOT LET ME ERASE IT.

DISK UTIL READ MY HD IS FIXED AND OK AND WILL BOOT HOWEVER I AM SCARED IT WILL ONLY BOOT INTO WHATEVER THIS WEBKIT MAC OS X BASE IS.

    That's Mt. Lion's Recovery volume which you could have used to erase the working volume and do a clean install of Mt. LIon.  To get rid of it you may have to try to repartition the entire drive with Disk Utility. 
    Otherwise, reboot with the Command+R keys held down to boot into the Recovery volume.  Once there run Disk Utility to again erase the working volume and then do an install of Mt. Lion. This method is much easier and quicker than doing it from the USB device.

    I have the same issue with pages/keynote and numbers (iWorks).  Came preinstalled when I bought the macbook air back in 2010 (Out of warranty). It crashed a couple of months ago so I took it to Apple but when I got it back the iWorks was no longer there.  I cannot go back to Apple for a few months as there is no Apple store where I am currently.

    I upgraded my MacBookPro to 10.9.2 and now my computer crashes constantly. Prior to the upgrade my MBP was rock solid. Now, some days are good and it will only crash 2 or so times.  Other days are bad, today it must have crased 10 times. I definately feel like I've gone back to microsoft ****. 
    Here is what I know and what I have done.
    1) When I "upgraded" I was using firevault. I did not turn this off prior to the upgrade. I suspected this might be the problem early on because my computer asked me for 2 passwords on boot. One for "legacy firevault." I turned this off. The computer still crashed. I did a safe boot and turned off firevault. This time my computer took about 4 hours to presumably unencrypt the drive. Compuer still crashed regularly
    2) I have used safe boot several times.
    3) I have used disk utility to check my HDD. No errors to fix.
    4) My experience seems to be that often time when moved around my folders in finder the computer crashes so I deleted finder preferences: com.apple.finder.plist
    5) I have also reset the NVRAM and the SMC
    Still crashing.
    Here is my latest crash report.  Anyone have any ideas?

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may have a logic-board defect covered by this recall.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
    Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they should still be covered.
    Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Yosemite System Crashes on Boot with Dell U2713HM

    Previously under Mavericks I had no issue with a Dell U2713HM monitor and my 'non-stock' NVidia card.  (The reason I'm using the video card I am is because the stock ATI card (ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT) is known do fry itself which I discovered after replacing it with an identical card and having the 2nd one fry itself after a year.  I did a lot of research and settle don the card I now have because others had reported success with it.  It worked fine for nearly a year until updating to Yosemite.)
    After upgrading to Yosemite my system went into an infinite reboot loop on startup.  On a hunch, I swapped out my U2713HM for an old 17" monitor and was able to boot.  I can't even have the U2713HM plugged in/turned off using the second port on the card without the system crashing.  If I get the system booted using the 17", I can then plug in/turn on the U2713HM and set the resolution - at that point I can (sometimes) boot but it will then crash on shutdown triggering an automatic restart.
    Is anyone having any success with a U2713HM, and especially with an NVidia card?  The only option I haven't tried is a completely fresh, clean install.  Once the system boots, I get the dialog that it was restarted because of an issue and can view part of the dump info that will be sent to Apple -> that clearly indicates the issue is with the kernel/NVidia driver somewhere.
    System specs:  Mac Pro (Early 2008) with an NVidia GeForce GTX 650 1024MB card installed running Yosemite (OS X 10.10)

    My mac mini (late 2012, Yosemite installed) doesn't start with Dell U2713HM if the USB cable of the monitor is connected.
    No problems if I connect the usb-cable after successful startup. Also the usb-hub of the Dell is working fine then.

  • Finder/System Crashing OS10.9.4

    Hi folks,
    started yesterday out of the blue. finder windows were bilking on and off every minute or so, then, periodically, entire system crashed. Got that "something happened" message that usually indicates kernel issue.
    I uninstalled Symantec, quit google drive (which was a "not responding" process according to Activity monitor), and rebooted from restore partition and repairs permissions (Run Macaroni, so this is usually up to date).
    Now, the finder windows no longer blink on and off, but system still crashing every 10 mn or so.  Here's the Console report for latest kernel.
    Advice, oh kind and knowledgable people?THX!

    Thx Linc,
    reinstalled the system software from the restore volume, then booted in safe mode. Computer crashed again. Seems to be doing it like clockwork every 9 min and 4-5 secs.
    Also, I don't seem to be able to launch Messages. Tells me theres a problem and I must quit and restart it, which I can't do. Don't know if the two issues are related.
    I don't use chrome. Google drive, set to launch on boot, seems to be hanging. Activity Monitor reports it "not responding"  same for iCloud Photos.
    Now what?

  • Stuttering video/audio and system crashes?

    For the better part of this year, I've had a terrible time with video and audio stuttering on my MacBook (Sept. 2007; 2.16GHz, 4MB RAM). This was especially noticeable when watching streaming Netflix videos, and it didn't seem to matter if I was using Safari or Firefox. Clearing the browser cache has little to no impact.
    The problem appears to have worsened since I upgraded to Snow Leopard about two months ago. (I'd previously been using OS 10.4.11; I now have 10.6.7). This same problem now impacting YouTube and QuickTime, even when I'm viewing files on my hard drive (approx. 27 GB free on a 120 GB drive), so I doubt that my internet connection is to blame. This happens whether I'm on WiFi or on an Ethernet connection -- also, my Ethernet randomly decides to stop working, but that's (probably) a separate issue.
    (Also since my OS upgrade, I'm suddenly having battery issues as well.)
    The problem is sometimes so bad that the entire system crashes, and I'm forced to do a cold/hard reboot of my MacBook. This has happened twice within the past 24 hours. Mostly, I can watch a few seconds or sometimes several minutes of video before the video and audio start sticking and stuttering again -- so pretty much any video capability is nearly worthless to me at this point.
    Here's the Panic Report from my latest system crash this morning... I don't know how to read Panic Reports, so I'm hoping someone might spot something that I can fix to address this issue?

    Definitely not. I've got a 2007 MacBook, and even with the extended warranty that coverage expired a year ago.
    If you're concnered about cost, you could always call and ask. In my experience, the people at the Genius Bar (and Apple Store in general) are happy to provide assistance free of charge. If you have to replace a part, system, etc. you'll certainly need to cover that, but they should talk to you about costs and get your consent before doing any work on your machine.

  • System Crashes repeatedly - hard drive issue?

    I've been using my G4 933MHz with 2 internal hard drives for quite some time. I started having issues with the system crashing, while the system drive made a binding or poer up/down sound repeatedly. The drives were stacked on top of one another, so I bought a new cable and separated the 2 drives so they are now side by side. I thought maybe it was happening because they were getting too hot or something. The system worked for a few weeks, but is now back to having the same problem.
    I've run both the Apple Disk utility and Tech Tool Pro and neither really come up with any problems. The Apple disk utility used to have issues seeing the drives right after a crash. Now it either sees them and says no fix needed or it doesnt see either drive at all.
    Tech Tool Pro used to see both drives and all tests ran successfully. Now, I pretty much get a hardware nor supprted message each time I run it. At first I thought my system drive was the problem, but now I'm not sure. The fact that neither drive shows up in the disk utility makes me wonder if there is not some bigger problem. Both drives work perfectly fine sometimes. If I boot up a few times, they eventually show up and everything works fine for about 10-15 minutes, but eventually it crashes again.
    Has anyone encountered this problem before? Or have insight into what might be wrong and how I could fix it? Or are there any other tests I can run, besides the normal hard drive tests? I'd just hate to go spend the money on a new hard drive to find out that my drives are fine and it's the system itself that is the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    By the way, the second drive is almost identical to the drive that came with the computer. I bought it from a mac dealer and it is the same brand.
    Thanks,
    Wil

    They're both on the same ide cable. It's been setup this way for quite some time. One drive is setup as a master, the other as a slave. Never had any problems for the past couple of years. Issue just started about a month ago. Don't recall anything that may have triggered it. Just one night when I was sitting there, the whole thing froze. Ever since then, it has been freezing sporatically. Now it's doing it about every 2 minutes from when I get it booted up...if I can even get it to boot. Most of the time it just sits on a grey screen, then goes to the blinking folder with the system face and question mark, then after about 20 seconds of that, it eventually boots into the system drive and freezes or boots to the cd. It's completely random from what I can tell, as to which happens.
