System Logs & File Tags - logic board replacement

Hi,
I do have some queries for the logic board replacement on macbook pro running Yosemite:
If logic board is replaced -
1) Does the system log files available in console [Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Console] gets deleted or they will still be showing up from the date prior to the replacement of the logic board?
2) If I've created file tags before LB replacement, will they still show up after the replacement?
Any insight into the above will be of immense help.
Thanks.

It would need to be done by Apple Service. They should have the equipment to do this. Your serial number can be found under the battery and on you box your MacBook came in.

  • After having the logic board replaced, Time Machine will no longer backup my computer to the same backup files as before.

    After having the logic board replaced due to bad NVidia chip, my Time Machine will no longer backup my computer to the current backup. Is there a way to reset something to get Time Machine to continue to use the same backup files as before for this laptop?

    As far as TM is concerned you have a new computer, so it will make a new backup. If you don't have the space for both backups then erase your backup drive before backing up the computer.

  • Performing a system restore on iBook that has had its logic board replaced

    I want ot do a system restore on my iBook G3. I had to send it in for a logic board replacement and received new install discs when it was returned to me. My problem is that I would like to have my iPhoto software and iMovie software that was installed on my computer when I purchased it. I have to do a clean install with the Mac OS X 10.3 disks that were shipped with the replacement of the logic board I will lose this. I want to use the system restore disks that came with my iBook when I originally purchased it. Is this possible since I have had my logic board replaced?

    The simplest way to reinstall iPhoto and iMovie is to download Pacifist and then extract the relevant applications from the Software Restore Discs.
    Pacifist comes with instructions; this is not a difficult operation and there is no need for erase & install to recover the applications.
    Pacifist is Shareware, but you need not pay the fee in order to use it. Every time that you open Pacifist you will be prompted to purchase a licence. If you feel that Pacifist is worth the money (and I think that it is), you can purchase a licence at any stage.
    If you're a plonker like me, then purchasing a licence will provide justification for third party developers like CharlesSoft to save the day for the rest of us.
    Good luck!

  • Logic board replaced, now network settings won't save

    Got the black screen, Apple replaced the logic board on my MBP for free (yay, Apple!), but now it won't remember my network settings. I have to run network diagnostics, type in my pswd, etc., every time I wake from sleep.
    When I first got it back from Apple, it couldn't find the network at all, and Apple gave me free tech support (again, yay, Apple!) because I successfully argued that the logic board replacement had caused the problem. I didn't realize in that support session that setting up a new network, while it would be saved in the system, would not automatically stay "on" -- otherwise I would've dealt with that then.
    Running: 10.5.8 on 2.2 ghz late 2007 MBP. Cable modem and Airport Extreme. Others in house have no problems with wireless connection. The only thing that's changed is my logic board.
    I read through several discussions, which talked about editing system files and such that I'm extremely uncomfortable doing, and there doesn't seem to be a definite solution for this problem stemming from logic board replacement.
    Thanks for any help...

    Hi Kren,
    It sounds like just a setting: Open System Preferences > Network > click on Advanced > click on Remember networks this computer has joined > you may wish to uncheck all the boxes for Require administrator password > click OK (I don't remember if you have to click Apply on the next screen, but if it's highlighted, you need to; if not, close Network and you should be good to go).

  • Total lock-ups with fan running - translate system.log file please!?

    Hi, all. My late 2005 2.3 gig dual G5 has been experiencing random lock ups for as long as I can remember. My system is up to date and I have tested each pair of the 5 gigs of ram that I have and the system freezes with each pair. It can happen at any time, when I am doing absolutely nothing, for example, overnight. I am at my wits end!
    Here's the system log file for the latest freezes. Can anyone tell me what's going on here??? I really need to get to the root of this problem. Thanks so so much in advance.

    Hi-
    The machine seems to be having trouble with loading certain drivers, but, as this isn't a crash log, and doesn't show the "hang-up" or freeze, it's hard to tell.
    Noted possibilities are:
    -Microsoft keyboard (possible USB power problem)
    -firmtek driver (from archive) questionable due to the "archive" annotation
    -Wacom tablet driver, causing system problems
    Running in Safe mode without freezes would help to determine if one of these drivers is the problem.
    Other possibilities are outdated drivers, or simply a need to reinstall the OS.
    If unnecessary, removing the driver(s) would be a good idea.
    External USB and Firewire devices are all suspect, should all be disconnected, revert to Apple keyboard, and test system performance. Adding one device at a time, and testing each will be necessary to clear each device.
    I have experienced system trouble when a Wacom tablet was not connected, but the driver was left installed.
    Disabling the driver from Startup items may be necessary to test without the Wacom tablet connected.

  • Macbook Pro Mid-2012 Logic Board replacement, Apple Dragging feet?

    First some background:
    I have a macbook pro 13" Mid-2012 non retina covered under applecare until Jan. 2016. Starting in late march, i had noticed some performance issues but never took it in as the issue would subside within a day or two. Going into the final two week of my college semester, the macbook started freezing and tacking almost 5 minutes to boot. Suddenly it would take 5 tries just to get it to boot. due to this, i had been unable to get the time machine backup to work as it would freeze for 12 hours on average.
    So thenI took my macbook pro into the local authorized apple service center (on April 29th) as i suddenly got 'open error 5: input output error' errors and my mbp wouldnt boot at all. When i spoke to the servicer, he and I agreed that at minimum the hard drive was failing. The servicer made a time machine backup of the data on the hdd and got the backup on my external drive. He asked to keep the external drive as it has a partition that is a USB install disk of the latest Mavericks. Soon after he got the data backed up, the hard drive showed signs of failure to happen soon. So we agreedto have him replace the hdd. He hoped to have my macbook to me by May 5th. Well on May 5th, i got a call from him that with the replacement hard drive, the computer still had similar issues and was able to track it down to logic board issues. We agreed that since he had the macbook pro already and since it was applecare covered, we should go ahead and replace the logic board. Anyways, he ordered a new logic board from apple last monday (May 5th, 2014). I called on Thursday for an update and the servicer was frustrated with Apple that something is going on and he hasnt received the part as Apple usually gets him these parts within 1-2 days of request.He said he will call me once Apple gets him the part as he will get on the repair once the part comes in.  He hasnt called me back yet.
    This is rather frustrating for me as my macbook had all my college files on it and this problem happened right before college finals (i technically lost about 2 months worth of web design files and class files) where much of what needed for finals was on that computer. if he could have gotten it back by the 7th as he'd hoped, i would have been fine.  Instead, i was forced to go back to my PC laptop and try recreating some of the files that were made by mac only applications into something similar on windows. i was unable to recover the web design files as they were on the macbook and i couldnt remember right off which folder it was in. So i had to scrape together things to be able to submit for my finals so i wouldnt totally bomb the course. My web design instructor understood how frustrated I got from losing all that work and having to settle for a final design that just met the requirments rather than the one on the mac that was well past it.
    He is not sure whats going on as the last time he ordered a logic board for the same model, he had it by the end of business the next day. He is apoligizing for everything . I am not frustrated with him, rather I am frustrated with Apple as they had recommended me to take it in ASAP, yet they are seemingly dragging thier feet on getting him the parts.
    On top of this, I am helping a neighbor modernize her business website, and am doing a project with the state unemployement office to help them redo thier videos. Both of these are things i would always use my mac for as it is like 5x faster than my pc on this stuff. It's more than just an inconvience now. I need my mac badly as the PC is just not fast enough to do what i need in the itme i am given (which i why i switched to mac as my primary computer).
    Is this common for Apple when it comes to logic board replacements for macbook pros or what?
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Applecare was no help at all. I called and did the complaint. They confirmed that it is registered to me and everything but essetially told me that they cant give me answers as to what is taking so long. They knew a repair was in progress but wanted to set me up with an appointment at an apple store? (the nearest Apple retail store is Billings which is 240 miles away, or about 4 hours). i tell them its at the repair place and they go on to tell me they can send me a box to mail it in and have it reapir by them.. They are trying to shift the blame to the AASP and his rep. But he said he has been trying with very few answers from Apple as well

  • Logic Board replaced, Time Machine wont recognize old backups

    I just got my Logic Board replaced and obviously having the problem with Time Machine recognizing old backups. I looked at old forums and found the macosxhints page (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101) on how to fix the problem but when I try to enter cd /Volumes/Time Machine/Backups.backupdb into terminal it gives me a message saying "no such file or directory" i dont know where to go from here any help would be appreciated thanks for your time

    instead of Time Machine in that command you should enter "name of your TM drive" (put the name of your TM drive there and KEEP THE QUOTES). However, as you seem to be unfamiliar with terminal you will very likely have further problems following that hint. Try this one instead

  • TM error after logic board replaced

    hey guys,
    I've got a strange one. I had to have my logic board replaced in my Macbook Pro due to a nVidia graphics card dying. Time Machine was working like a champ before I dropped it off. When I got it back I got a TM error and it doesn't want to backup now. One thing that seems strange is that when I open a Finder window and then launch Time Machine, it's looking for files for Jonathan's Computer (2) instead of just Jonathan's Computer. (Yes, I'm Jonathan.) So it seems to be looking at some sort of duplicate or something. My backup files are on the TM drive and are searchable via Finder. However TM won't backup and I can't restore anything.
    Any thoughts as to what may have been borked and how to fix it? Thx.
    Jonathan

    However TM won't backup
    Why not? It's likely because the extra full backup has filled your TM drive.
    See item #C2 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    It will show you how to locate the message(s) that describe the problem, then help you fix it.
    If that doesn't help, post back with details, including all the messages, your setup (especially the destination for the backups), what you've done, and the results.
    Also note #C8 which addresses the Logic Board problem.

  • What happens after a logic board replacement?

    After a logic board replacement will my hard drive be erased? If so, can I simply restore my entire system from backup using Time Machine? Thank you.

    Your hard drive won't automatically be erased, but some commercial applications may refuse to work, and a very small number of preferences won't be carried over.

  • System.log file super bloat!

    Tonight my hard disk suddenly started filling rapidly on it's own and I traced the problem down to an amazingly fast growing system.log file. It appeared to be corrupt because the Console app didn't see it when I tried to read it there to see what was filling it. It got up to 6GB!
    I pulled the file out of there and things seem okay (I still have it in visible form on another drive). Is is at problem that now my OS X drive has no system.log file? Will it create one on it's own eventually? Is there some way for me to replace it?
    Any ideas why it would have done that?
    Thanks for any education!
    -Dave

    Hi Tenfresh, you don't list your system specs so it's hard to tell but this may have been your issue:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300893
    Yes, the system.log will recreate, if it hasn't done so already.

  • Logic Board Replaced -Nvidia Control Panel Missing

    Hello kind readers and helpers,
    My laptop had to have the logic board replaced (twice) because of a faulty Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT card.
    Upon its return, the Nvidia Control Panel was missing from the System Preferences and I'm now limited to the
    adjustments I can make to the screen. The Nvidia Control Panel used to be there before the board got replaced.
    I really need access to more detailed adjustments as I edit photos and video on my laptop and the current
    display setting adjustments available in system preferences are just not cutting it... I need my Nvidia Control Panel
    back!!
    Can anyone tell me how to achieve this? I went to the NVidia website to try to download the drivers, but they
    have no support for laptops!! Ough, faulty graphics chips and no laptop support!! Really?!
    Please help me guys!!!
    Thank you so  much! =)

    Hello guys,
    Just FYI, with the Nvidia Control Panel the resolutions available to me were much higher than those available in the display system preferences; 2048 x 1536 at 85Hz (VGA) and  2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz (DVI). Now, the highest resolution available is 1920 x 1200.
    Thank you for your time and support! =)
    Ahhh, now it's making sense. You have a 17" (I have a 15"). 1920x1200 is the highest resolution possible on the built-in 17" display. Your MBP can output 2560x1600 to an external display, but that's dependent on the external display's capabilities. I wonder if that Sys Pref you're asking about only shows with an external monitor? Would that fit your experience?

  • I just had my logic board replaced. now im having trouble using the interent even with a strong connection and the internet is working on other devices!! please help me :(

    I just had my logic board replaced. i am now having trouble with using the interent even with a strong connection. all other devices are having no problem with the internet. please help

    Test while started in Recovery : if the problem persists, then it likely is a hardware issue.
    Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) probably won't change anything, but you can readily do it before contacting the repairers.

  • Serial Number Missing after Logic Board Replacement

    I have a xeon xserve (2007) here that had its logic board replaced under warranty. I am now trying a remote install of a new OS (10.5). While trying the first 8 of the server's original serial number as a temp password (in Server Assistant and ssh), I realized that the serial must have changed in the logic board swap. Of course, the plastic tab in the back still has the old serial and MAC addresses on it, but the guys at the repair place (tekserve) at least stuck one sticker with the new MAC address onto the back.
    Now, I booted into the old OS and found that the system serial number is simply missing form System Profiler (Both GUI and CLI).
    Is there a way to set a new serial? This is making the system virtually useless as a headless install.

    The main board in my MacBook Pro c2d was just replaced with a board whose serial number was "System Serial#". I thought that might be the reason that Time Machine doesn't recognise my backups. I changed the serial to my original with the bootable "Blank Board Serializer , v.3T106, part number 693-6430" from
    http://spftp.info.apple.com/DiscImages/diagnostics/Apple_Service_Diagnostic/_ssps693-6430-01.dmg
    Time Machine still wants to do a full backup. It has many reasons to not do what it's told.

    Google Chrome caused the crash.  Uninstall and reinstall it and also delete all the personal preferences and add-ins from it.  Run with a basic load of it for a week and see if the problem comes back.  If not, start adding your add-ins back on one at a time and retesting for a few days each time until you find the cause.  If it remains stable, then it was problably something in the previous load of the app that caused it.
    Apple shouldn't have replaced your system board based on this type of crash to begin with.  An OS reload along with app reload would have been more warranted to see if it isn't a simple software issue.
