System disk problem - what happened?

I recently had problems with my MacBook (OS X 10.4.10) and I was able to deduce that problem was somehow related to hard disk(s) and/or file systems. The problem symptoms were:
- Computer failed to recognize external FW drives
- Spotlight searches hanged
- Disk Utility hanged
- Software update hanged
- in Terminal diskutil showed error message "AppleRAID: failed trying to get controller object, rc = 0xe00002c5." for all operations
Problems persisted also after machine restart and also in single-user mode. What I considered strange was that googling did not find anything relevant for the diskutil message.
Eventually I was able to fix the issue by booting from FW disk and running volume repair (which didn't report anything, though) for system disk. However, I'm curious to find out what really happened and why?

Ahh, that's interesting. However, I'm not using any external USB hubs. And at the time I started to experience the problem there was no devices connected to either of the USB ports.
I do have to external FW drives (WD MyBooks which are configured as RAID-1 array) and they were plugged in (although I unplugged them during reboot but the problem still remained).
Now that I google for just the error code I do find references to SCSI and I reckon SCSI and Firewire are sort of related (FW being new 'serial SCSI')?
Apple dev docs also give a plaintext translation to the error code: "exclusive access and device already open"
Thanks for pointing to a right direction,
Petri

  • Weird color consistency problem: What happened?

    Here's a weird one:
    On Friday I worked on several RAW files in Lightroom 2.5.
    I adjusted all colorations, white balance clarity sharpness etc.
    Looked great. Saved the metadata to the files. Opened them in Bridge then Photoshop.
    Looked perfect. All coloration looked exactly the same across all three apps as they usually do.
    Saturday, I go to open some of the files.
    The PSDs looked very washed out, overexposed and unsaturated.
    My whole display looked badly calibrated. (Apple Cinema Display)(Too bright and low contrast)
    So I started in on trying to fix it.
    I recalibrated the monitor in the displays preferences dialog box.
    Got the monitor looking correct. The gamma settings were acting strange. Not sticking to their default settings...
    I restarted a couple of times.
    But when I looked at the files there was a great discrepancy between what I was seeing in Lightroom and what I was seeing in Bridge and Photoshop.
    The images looked perfect in Lightroom but washed out and desaturated in Bridge and Photoshop.
    It looked like a really bad misunderstanding of color space information.
    I have my color profile in Bridge (which is supposed to control all the CS4 color spaces) set to North America PrePress 2.
    I could not see a way to set Lightroom's color profile in it's preferences.
    All of the RAW files were exported to PSDs as Adobe RGB 1998 or sRGB.
    Fast forward to today.
    I just opened all three apps and looked at the files.
    Today everything is matching again.
    Weird!
    (And no I was not drinking heavily yesterday)
    What happened?
    BTW, I am on a non Intel Mac, running OSX 10.5.8.
    I had downloaded the Lightroom 3 Beta only to discover that it doesnt work on Non-Intel machines.
    I deleted the beta from my hard drive although I dont think that was causing the condition.
    I was not running LR 3.0 yesterday.
    Anyone have any ideas why my color syncing went so far off between the 3 apps?
    Makes me concerned that when my client gets the PSDs from me the files make look like crap on her system.

    Anyone have any ideas why my color syncing went so far off between the 3 apps?
    Undoubtedly a monitor profile problem. I sometimes have weird issues where my mac just seems to ignore the display profile after waking up from sleep (known bug in Apple's OS X BTW). Recalibrating and restarting the apps always fixes the issue.

  • My recently purchase iMac came with pre-installed operating software but no backup disks. What happens if I find it necessary to re-install?

    Having ditched Windows after years of frustration I recently bought an iMac with Lion pre-installed. While not necessary at this tme there were no installation disks sent with the purchase. What happens should I find it necessary to reinstall the operating system?

    No. You do NOT have to buy Lion again.
    If you replace your HDD or erase the recovery partion, it will download and install lion from Apple' servers.
    See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Quoute:
    If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.

  • Time Machine backup created on Mac with a large hard disk. What happens when restore to MacBook Air with small SSD drive?

    What if a Time Machine backup was created on a Mac with a large hard disk, e.g. 500GB iMac - and I buy a new MacBook Air with a small SSD hard disk e.g 128GB. What happens when I need to use the larger Time Machine file to set up the new MacBook Air? What happens to all those files that can't fit on the smaller SSD drive?

    It is not the HD size, but rather the size of the data it contains. If you right-click your 500GB drive and select "Get Info" you can see how much is actually being used.
    Naturally if you are using more space than the new drive has, then you have to make some choices about what you want to keep and what you want to keep archived.
    I don't know what options are available but you may simply have to do a manual restore of files you want, in groups.

  • Mouse menu disappear from the system preference..what happened?

    after I updates to OS 10.47, my wired mighty mouse completely stop working. I checked both the USB ports with USB flash drives, they work just fine. But when I checked the system profile, the info of the mouse does not show up. I also checked the system preference, strangely, the mouse option does not show up under "keyboard and mice". All I see is keyboard, trackpad, bluetooth and keyboard shortcut.
    anyone knows what is going on? thanks alot!
    Black Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    If your Mighty Mouse isn't working then the mouse options in the preference pane will not show up. You'll only see (like you said: keyboard, trackpad and bluetooth). If you have a working mouse plugged in, it will activate the Mouse preference and you will no longer see the trackpad option. That particular preference pane is dependent on the hardware that is present.
    Sounds like it might be time for a new Mighty Mouse - a perfect time to spring for the wireless one
    EDIT: I misread your first sentence and didn't realize that it stopped working after the 10.4.7 update. Yes, I would try to reinstall the software. But my original response (save for the "spring for a new one" segment) still applies.

  • I am receiving a connection error and can't send out yahoo e-mails. I can surf and use another browser with no problem what happened all of a sudden with my firefox?

    I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.
    I can receive messages, surf the web via Firefox.
    The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.

    1. Change your server to outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net - This is the correct outbound server for Verizon Yahoo accounts.
    2. Make sure the setting for "outgoing server requires authentication" is selected. - It should auth with your vz username and password
    If you are still having trouble, post the error. (The error you've posted here is for the wrong server.)
    Well, I had already done those things before.  The message I got when I tried is:
    An error occurred while sending mail.  The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html.  Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
    I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension.  That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
    So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message.  It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page.  I was directed to add an account with a different email address.  A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use.  Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird.  I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
    Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email.  I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong.

  • System freezes due to hard disk problems only on Linux (not windows)

    Intro/context:
    Recently i've bought (about 2 months) a new laptop, a Lenovo G50-70, which came with Windows 8.1. As i had no interest on that OS, i formatted the disk and installed only Arch Linux. During that time i experienced system freezes which i had no idea why they were happening. As time went by, i found disk errors on system logs related to hard drive. I searched those errors and almost everything i found was that my hard drive had problems, so i decided to use my warranty. But first, i installed the original OS back again. And after using it a couple of weeks, i didn't experiencie any problem with my hard drive (on Linux it was really frequent). Now i've installed Arch Linux back, along with original Windows 8.1, having dual boot. There is no disk problem when using Windows, but when on Arch, i have the same errors and problems i used to have. So i assume it may be related to kernel or some confniguration issue.
    I also haven't noticed any relation between system freezes and system use. I mean, it can happen either under light or heavy use.
    tl dr: system freezes randomly for some minutes when using linux due to hard drive problems. The problem doesn't happen on windows.
    What i've done so far:
    The first period i was on Arch, i run smart (long and short), fsck, and hdparm tests. And nothing (no errors). Searched for bad blocks, and nothing. When back on windows, i also run tests on hdd and found no problems, except some sector reallocation not-that-nice indicators. These problems occured at the end of the first arch installation period. But still i currently experience no problem on windows.
    I've also tried setting libata: noncq, 3.0G, noacpi, noapic kernel parameters, and had no result.
    Changed BIOS setting from AHCI to Legacy, and no result. Also updated BIOS and no result.
    I found no firmware update for this hard drive.
    So i don't know what other thing i can try. I want to emphasize that there is no problem, no freezing, when running Windows, so i don't think it's a hard drive issue.
    Info:
    Hard drive is a Toshiba 2.5" HDD MQ01ABD100 5400 rpm.
    Some logs i've recollected all this time:

    Something i'd noticed both the first time i was on arch and now i've reinstalled it, was that at first i didn't have this problem. I mean, when Arch was just installed. While i was installing and setting up everything.
    Now, i'm not 100% sure about this, but i think problems began when using my current user. Disk is partitioned the following way:
    $ lsblk
    NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
    sda 8:0 0 931,5G 0 disk
    ├─sda1 8:1 0 1000M 0 part
    ├─sda2 8:2 0 260M 0 part /boot
    ├─sda3 8:3 0 207,7G 0 part
    ├─sda4 8:4 0 25G 0 part
    ├─sda5 8:5 0 14,8G 0 part
    ├─sda6 8:6 0 80,5G 0 part /
    ├─sda8 8:8 0 599G 0 part /home
    └─sda9 8:9 0 2G 0 part [SWAP]
    So, i believe problems, for some reason, are related (and were related), both before and now, to the /home partition, /dev/sda8 in this ocassion.
    Because of this, i booted into systemd rescue mode, like root, rw, and unmounted /home partition. Despite root-only limitations, i used the system for a couple of hours, started lxqt, browsed the web mainly, and experienced no problem at all.
    Now i booted normally, with my regular user, and these problems are experienced just like before (and almost instantly, like 3 or 5 minutes after starting system use).
    dmesg this time showed a some different log, though it's not the first time i see this. I just didn't saved that kind of log before.

    There are some sda8 (home) related messages. I also found these messages first time Arch was installed (i think also related to home partition).
    root and home partitions are both ext4.

    I recently had to reinstall my software for a
    dell computer a dell latitude d 830, then after installing all of my software and such including itunes the player did well even record to disks with no problems now that my system has done alot of updating of system files....now the itunes does not burn to my cd...error message 2131 this time
    The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
    Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?

    Hi
    And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
    Troubleshooting note
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • I have Cs2 andOffice for Mac 2004 installed on an Os 10.6.3 system. This weekend my computer did an auto pdate to Os 10.6.8 and now I cannot save or print from any office or CS2 Apps. What happened. Office also freezes and I have to force quit.

    I had Cs2 and Office for Mac 2004 installed on an OS 10.6.3 system. Worked fine. This weekend my computer did an auto update to OS 10.6.8 and now I cannot save or print from any office or CS2 Apps. What happened. Office also freezes and I have to force quit. Any advise. System or Software problem?

    Bad timing.  Reapply the security update:

    What happened is that version 1.0 of the security update was available for a bit of time this weekend, and that disabled Rosetta.  Version 1.1 brought it back.

  • Cannot Sign in to Ebay ONLY problems, cache, cookies, firewall, what happened???

    Hi and thanks in advance for anyone who can help with any suggestions. I downloaded the new version of firefox a few weeks back. The next day I noticed I could not sign in to my Ebay account. I can go anywhere else on the internet and all my sign in/passwords all work fine, only having problems with ebay. I can go on ebay but when I try to actually sign in it says ..
    Secure Connection Failed
    The connection to signin.ebay.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
    I have been trying for weeks and still cannot get sign in.....it is only happening on my DESKTOP....I can sign in on my phone and on my tablet....also on my sons HP laptop or his HP desktop. I'ts only on my desktop ....I have tried the firewalls. I reregistered and made a new account but once I signed out it won't let me sign in to that one either. I can go anywhere on ebay and click like "security or answer center' and it takes me there, as long as I do not click on the "sign in" part.....I have done so much to fix this in the last few weeks but nothing works.....I don't know what to do....somthing has to be wrong or something got deleted.....firefox is no help because everything on their help page is not working....Please if someone could give me some idea of what happened I would be so grateful!!

    Renegadewoman, welcome to the forum.
    The first thing that I would do is try another browser, i.e. Internet Explorer.  If your password doesn't work in it, I suggest contacting Ebay Customer Service.  This is most likely a software problem; not a hardware problem.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.

    Your only erasing the Free Space of your OS X partition, meaning the areas where there is none of your data stored.
    Because when Bootcamp works it's going to take some from that to create the Bootcamp partiton for Windows.
    If I choose erase does it then give me the option before I press something else and wipe out what I don't want to wipe out just yet?
    If you click Erase Free Space it give s a option and then you go.
    My dvd player is bust and at the moment...
    Well how are you going to install Windows and the drivers?
    You didn't read the Bootcamp manual did you?

    IMO, your not up to doing this, I advise you to stop and forget about installing Windows, because your problems are only just started.
    Good Luck

  • What happens after numerous failed password attempts on a FileVault enabled system?

    Just curious what happens when someone hits the limit of password entry attempts on a FileVault enabled system?  Does it wipe the disk?  Or is the encryption key broken rendering the disk unusable?

    "If you forget your login password for a OS X Lion FileVault-encrypted drive, and you had chosen to store your recovery key with Apple, you may contact AppleCare and request retrieval of your recovery key. Typing in the wrong login password three times will produce a note under the password field which states, "If you forgot your password, you can… …reset it using your recovery key."
