Target Volume Error

I have tried to install my software updates, but everytime I try it gets to the point "Preparing Target Volume" and then it encounters an error and can't finish the install.
I have run the Hardware Test, and it said that everything was fine. I'm at a loss for what to do next.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.

McQuilter:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The Panther install set consists of three CDs.
If you keep getting errors it could the install disks themselve, or possibly a hardware problem. To eliminate the Hardware problem boot from your Apple Hardware Test disk holding down the "C" key, and run the test.
If everything checks out fine, boot from the install disk, go to the installer menu and open Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel and First Aid in the right panel. Run Repair Disk Permissions. Then run Repair Disk. If DU finds no errors quit DU and open installer.
If DU finds errors, click Repair again and again until no errors are found. If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Good luck.

  • What to do about Backup failed with error: The target volume is read-only

    This is a weird story. My wife has a PowerBook G4/1.33 GHz that she uses in clamshell mode with a 20" Cinema Display. One day under OS X 10.5.6, her Time Machine backups (to a networked 500 GB Time Capsule) failed with the error: Backup failed with error: The target volume is read-only. So I upgraded her to 10.5.7 and erased the sparseimage file, starting a new Time Machine backup. And it just happened again. Any idea how this sort of problem arises? My wife was doing something at her computer when the Time Machine error occurred.
    Please don't advise us to upgrade to 10.5.8, because her PowerBook freezes not infrequently with any OS later than 10.5.6, and I was just about to downgrade her from 10.5.7 to 10.5.6.

    Try repairing the sparse bundle, per #A5 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
    I've tried this before, but it can't be repaired, because it can't be mounted.
    Any idea how this sort of problem arises? My wife was doing something at her computer when the Time Machine error occurred.
    One possibility is, the HD in the Time Capsule is beginning to fail (all HDs fail, sooner or later).
    I'm backing up to my own sparseimage bundle just fine.

    Those two things may be related. Whatever's going wrong may very well be what's corrupting the backups.
    I'd recommend finding out what's wrong with the Powerbook. It's impossible to tell, of course, but that may be the root of the problem.
    There's a problem with PowerBooks and Cinema Displays. I've posted a lot about this. Even after a motherboard replacement, my PowerBook G4/1.67 GHz had freezes, and eventually Apple gave me a MacBook Pro, but I think there's a failure involving hardware/software design.
    If you haven't yet, I'd start by dong a +*Verify Disk+* on it's internal HD (also per #A5);
    That checks out fine.
    if there are no errors, or they're fixed and the problem continues, run the +Apple Hardware Test+ from the disc that came with the Mac. (One of the discs should have that, and instructions for running it, printed in tiny type on the label).
    If still no help, I'd be inclined to do an +Archive & Install, preserving users & settings,+ of Leopard, then download & install the appropriate "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate (change the last "8" to the desired number). Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

  • "Not enough memory in target location" error in de...

    When I try to download and "save to device" any files from any website of any size, I am receiving the "Not enough memory in target location" error. It's very frustrating . To reproduce I only need to do a "long tap" on the google image on the default google page and select "save image as" and select any location (eg. documents, root (MyDocs), create new folder) and I get the error. Once the error is displayed, most of the time I can't get rid of it and need to do an "End current task" to close the browser.
    I have checked the output of a "df -h" and there is PLENTY of space on all volumes, including rootfs (95.1M Free) and /dev/mmcblk0p1 (25.9G Free!).
    I've tried flushing the '/home/user/.mozilla/microb' directory and deleting the '/home/user/.browser' file also.
    I can transfer files from my PC connected in Mass Storage mode with no problem, I can also create directories and files from X-Term also with no problem.
    The only information I can find on this error is related to rootfs being out of space when trying to install an app or update...but this is not my problem.
    I have a feeling it could be a permissions issue, anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi cpitchford. I have a similar problem. I can't save a bookmarks in the MicroB explorer. The system says "Not enough memory". I read your post and send you the screenshot for the xterm. Thank you for your time. Let me know if you need more informartion about the issue

  • "Backup is too large for backup volume" error

    When I try to backup my StartUp Drive (931.2 GB capacity, 348.2 GB Available, 583.0 GB Used) to my Backup Drive (931.2 Available) which is mounted in the adjacent bay I have begun to get an Error Message that says "This backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires 1379.1 GB but only 931.0 GB are available." Clearly something is amiss. It was backing up to this hard drive just fine.

I then attempted the full back up from the "Startup" drive to the newly erased "2 Backup" drive and got the error message. All drives are internal.
    According to the messages you posted earlier, you're trying to back-up three drives:
    Backup content size: 466.2 GB excluded items size: 0 bytes for volume 4 Movies
    Backup content size: 583.0 GB excluded items size: 1.9 MB for volume 1 Start Up
    Backup content size: 99.9 GB excluded items size: 0 bytes for volume 3 Media
    That's a total of 1149.1 GB. TM then adds about 20% for workspace it will need (the "padding" in the next message):
    Starting pre-backup thinning: 1.35 TB requested (including padding), 930.96 GB available
    You need a bigger TM drive, or to back-up one or more of the other drives some other way, and exclude them from TM.
    A 1 TB drive is just barely large enough to back-up your +Start Up+ drive, as TM really should have 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up.

  • R61 R&R won't start after "unmountable boot volume" error

    Hello all,
    New user, first post - after problem, of course.
    I have an R61 Thinkpad with Windows XP on it.  (SP2 or SP3, not sure).  Has worked flawlessly for years, then the other day I got the dreaded "unmountable boot volume" error and it would not start.
    No problem - I re-start, hit the ThinkVantage button, then hit F11 to use the R&R hidden on a separate partition of the hard drive........I get the black screen with the big progress bar, ok, then a blue screen......then nothing.  Hangs up and sits there.  I have repeated this about 5 times now.
    No problem! - I was smart enough to make an R&R CD set a while ago!  Put the primary R&R disk in the CD drive, start the machine, ThinkPad button, F12 this time to choose boot from CD.....much CD activity ensues and I once again get the black screen with the big progress bar.  It takes much longer, and I get teh blue screen - BUT - then it goes one extra step to display the "ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery 4" screen with the life preserver image.
    Excellent, I thing - except it then hangs there.  Just sits there.  No disk activity.  No keys will do anything.
    I can find no threads here or on any other forum with this particular issue.
    Am I fubar?  Or is there something else I can do?
    Thanks a bunch.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi jim, welcome to the forums,
    Is the hard drive recognised in BIOS, was there an entry in the boot list against HDD0?
    Regardless of it being shown in BIOS / boot list or not, the first thing I would do is to reseat the hard drive and see if that helps, maybe over time it's lost contact to the mainboard socket. If you don't know how to do this you can find out at the R61 movies site.
    The next thing I would do is run a hard drive diagnosis check from a bootable cd, these can be downloaded from all HDD manufacturer's websites e.g. Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test.  It may be that the drive has simply gone bad after all those years of work.
    Let us know how you get on

  • Unmountabl​e Boot Volume error in Z61T

    Hi Members,
    I just encountered the the Error Unmountable Boot volume error(Blue Screen)  in my Z61T Think pad laptop. 
    I'm not sure what caused this error. Is it possible to fix the error?
    I tried to go in to Recovery Console using XP CD and then repair the OS, but unfortunately when i go to repair mode i get another error which says unable to recognize the hard drive. Im really confused as of what is the exact problem with my laptop and also im worried about that data.
    appreciate if anyone can throw some light in to the issue and help me out in fixing the same.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    If you believe that your hard disk/file system may be corrupted, try using any bootable diagnostic cd.They are operating system independent and will let you know if your HDD is getting corrupted.
    Try the data life guard diagnostics(bootable).

  • "Unable to create volume" error when exporting

    Exporting photos from iPhoto gives me the "unable to create Volume" error. iPhoto and Mountain Lion are the latest versions, and most recent updates. Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS. Destination drive is formatted Mac OSX Extended (Journaled, Encrypted).
    Library has already been rebuilt. No change.
    PNGs have been deleted from library. No change.
    Tried batch re-titling every image in the library library, and exporting so that exported files were named according to title, followed by a number--thus no two files would have the same name. No change.
    Any suggestions?

    Library of 30,000 images is currently on an NAS.
    Likely cause right there.
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

  • You are not authorized to logon to the target system (error code 1)

    Dear Expert,
    I met some problems that 'You are not authorized to logon to the target system (error code 1)' when I tried to do the auth. testing for RFC SM_CLNT<SID>_TRUSTED in satellite system.
    Following SAP note 128447, I recreated the RFCs in SMSY in solution manager for satellite system using existing user.
    It was still error ''You are not authorized to logon to the target system (error code 1)'.
    In SMSY in solman, I checked the RFCs connection which I recreated using RFC wizard, they are ok(green).
    I have already maintain the auth. obj S_RFCACL for user who is running this.
    So, I am confused what authorization I did not maintain in user? Please help me out!
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Lucy,
    The error is pretty clear that the calling system is not a trusted system so I don't think you should bother with an authorization trace at this time, because authorizations is not quite the issue. The calling system is NOT a trusted system, authorizations or not.
    Please refer to SAP Note 128447 Trusted/Trusting systems
    The error is listed there:
    Authorization errors that occur when using an RFC destination for which
    the 'Trusted Systems' indicator is set are documented with the following
    message:
    "No authorization to log on as a trusted system (Trusted RC = #)."
    In this case, the trusted return code # (# = 0, 1, 2, 3) has the
    following relevance:
    1   The calling system is not a trusted system, or the
         security key for the system is invalid.
         Solution: Recreate the trusted system (see
         documentation).
    These are the links the Note provides for the documentation:
    [http://help.sap.com
    /saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/22/042671488911d189490000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

  • Could not erase target volume, operation timed out

    Hi All,
    Using Netrestore,to image g5 ppc, I can netboot fine, but when they go to erase the target volume, I get Could not erase target volume, operation timed out. When I try to use disk utility in the netrestore, and then get another message that says Macintosh HD could not be unmounted.
    Tony.

    As you've discovered, the system is unable to unmount the internal hard drive. This means that some process is using, or has opened a file on, the internal hard drive.
    If you can get into the terminal, doing an lsof may tell you what process is using the drive.
    The other possibility, if you're trying to NetBoot into a volume and then restore, is that the drive is in use for the shadow file. If that's the case, you should be able to work around this by enabling diskless NetBoot.

  • You are not authorized to logon to the target system error code1(in SM58)

    Hi Basis Gurus,
    In my test system Idocs are in error status.
    When I check tRFC monitering in SM58, there are several Idocs are strucked.
    Status Text: You are not authorized to logon to the target system  (error code 1).
    Recently we have refreshed our test system with production data.
    Before system refresh it was normal.
    The RFC connection is also working fine.
    Please suggest the solution as I'm struck in this issue.
    I'm a Basis Guy.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ravi.

    Hi,
    Change the RFC user password in target system however there are 2 tests to analyse from SM59 :
    1) RFC Connection test
    2) Authorization Test
    And i guess you have only tested the 1st one from the RFC(SM59) check whether you can succeed with option 2 if not then you may need to change the password.
    Thanks,
    Salim

  • Repair installation halts at "Preparing Target Volume"

    I have a client's G3 tower that was running Jaguar that stopped booting. It would boot to the Apple screen and the little "progress wheel" at the bottom would just keep going and going for hours.
    She did not have her original software so she bought a copy of Panther off Ebay.
    Upon booting from the Panther CD, I ran the disk utility and fixed all problems. When I try to to the upgrade install, it detects 10.2 on the drive. The entire process seems to halt at the "Preparing Target Volume" spot. The machine is not frozen, per se...every once in a while there might be hard drive movement, but it has been stuck at this spot for as long as 12 hours at a time.
    I have:
    changed the IDE cable
    changed the RAM
    placed the hard drive in an almost identical G3 tower
    None of what I have done so far has solved anything. Any and all help is appreciated in advance.

    If the Panther installer you have is on gray labeled CDs, then it is an OEM version intended for a specific Mac model. It will not work on that computer. You need the standard retail version of Panther which consists of three CDs with black labels and a large gray "X" plus a fourth CD containing the installer for XTools.
    It sounds, also, as if the hard drive needs to be reformatted.

    Hi Dan,
    Since you want to replace the destination volume for the existing backups, I recommend you can delete the existing backup task and create a new backup task, or you can also try the steps below:
    Reattach the original (old) volume and also attach the new volume to VM, then run the powershell script to
    add the new target volume firstly, then remove the old volume, after you run the script you can detach the original volume from VM.
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
