Time machine corrupted sparsebundle? how to repair? time machine restore not working

On my macbook pro, after starting with Cmd-R, I erased the hard disk, re-installed Mavericks and I want to restore my back up with Time Machine. I select the NAS where the backup is, it sees the backup file but it says: "There is a problem with this backup and it can't be restored". I also copied the backup file (with extension sparsebundle) to another external hard disk and tried to use it from there but I have the same problem. With my iMac (as the laptop is not usable since I started it with cmd-R), when I double click on the backup file (ext sparsebundle), it mounts and I can actually see and access the files that are there. I do not understand why the restore is not working with the Time Machine. It seems the sparsebundle is corrupted. I tried these instructions: http://www.garth.org/archives/2011,08,27,169,fix-time-machine-sparsebundle-nas-b ased-backup-errors.html
But I am stuck at this step: tail -f /var/log/fsck_hfs.log
iMac-6:~ root# tail -f /var/log/fsck_hfs.log
/dev/rdisk3s2: ** Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
/dev/rdisk3s2: ** Detected a case-sensitive volume.
/dev/rdisk3s2: The volume name is Time Machine Backups
/dev/rdisk3s2: ** Checking extents overflow file.
/dev/rdisk3s2: ** Checking catalog file.
/dev/rdisk3s2: Invalid key length
/dev/rdisk3s2: (4, 57529)
/dev/rdisk3s2: ** The volume Time Machine Backups could not be verified completely.
Nothing seems to happen even after a few hours (like 3 hours). The sparsebundle bakcup file is about 200 GB big. It does not seem to do anything as I do not notice any disk activity.
Could someone please advise how to do the restore with the Time Machine or how I can repair the backup file?

Well, if Time Machine is the only thing on that hard drive and there is only one partition, sooner or later, Time Machine will fill up the entire thing and you can't use it for anything else.
Now, you can start over, but that will mean that your Time machine backups will be wiped out. If that is what you want, it is a rather easy process easily accomplished in Disk Utility:
With hard drive connected, open Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities). Highlight the Time Machine hard drive (the top entry for it). Click on the Partition tab. In the window, pick 2 partitions under the "volume scheme" and then slide the little thing at the bottom to adjust the size of each partition. Make sure the format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and, under options, click the GUID partition scheme. Name each one (i.e. "Time Machine" and "backups") and click "apply". Disk Utility will first erase the drive and then create 2 partitions (2 totally separate drives so to speak). You're done.....
You can then set up the one for Time Machine and the other to drag over whatever files you want.

You need to install Office on the computer from the installer DVD or disc image you purchased.

Repair disk permissions does not work

Repair disk permissions does not work. Disk Uitliy fines many incorrect permissions (ACL found, but not expected) and says that it would repair it. However, when checked again, it finds the same permission errors.
I have tried Disk Utility as well as the command line "sudo diskutil repairPermissions /" (which probably does exactly the same as Disk Utility).
Any hints?
C.

Are you trying to Repair Permissions because you have file access problems in the System files, or just because you think you need to do it?
If the former, please explain what you are seeing. If the latter, stop wasting your time.
The things it doesn't repair are not repaired because there is nothing broken. The orginal Receipts files have the old settings, and subsequent updates have changed the permissions on those things to what they should be, now. It will report the differences it finds every time you run Repair Permissions because they will always be different and they should be the way they are.

My macbook is back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. It was working prior to the repairs on the laptop. Is there a setting I don't know about that might have been changed?

My macbook pro is just back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. I have followed the directions in the cinema display manual. am I missing something?

Take a look at the Displays preference panel to see if everything is ok, particularly the resolution and refresh rate. Displays will probably try to put the panel for the ACD on the ACD where you won't see it. So click "Gather Windows" to get the ACD panel on to your macbook.
One more thing, make sure you fully seated the mini displayport plug. They can be sneaky little devils in that they need to be fully pushed in.

Concerns ALL Time Machine Users. HOW TO MOVE Time Machine backups. Help !

Concerns ALL Time Machine Users :
MOVE (or COPY) Time Machine backups from a "x"To Disk to an "y"To greater disk.
Hello and thank you all for reading me,
First, excuse me if I make language errors (I'm French).
Secundo, I don't know if you'll find something interesting for you
in what I write about Time Machine and my own problems,
but there's a possibility also that YOU could perhaps help me.
I'm talking about Time Machine and his **** Backups.backupdb folder,
containing "*Name of your Mac*" folder,
this folder containing Time Machine backups, format : YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS
Time Machine doesn't recognize the backups it made *IF YOU MOVE THEM*.
I have perhaps a solution in this message.
You'll see below what kind of problem I (and you could) have.
Since 12/01/10, an Apple Adviser Level Two (and me)
are trying to understand how to move backups from TM1To Disk to, let's say, a bigger one.
My case is TM1,5To.
*Purpose :* Move 19 backups from Time Machine X disk to Time Machine Y disk.
Delete TMX disk Time Machine backups after that.
Make TMY disk the current used Time Machine Disk.
I don't remember exactly what we did before
(we even created a "root" account with password (dangerous to do),
but it didn't solve the problem),
but we finally copied :
TM1To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* folder (containing 19 backups) into :
TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb folder.
The Copy application announced *16 hours !* (without antivirus, to remove absolutely).
So I said goodbye and thank you to my Apple Adviser. After *8 hours*, Copy failed.
BUT it had succeeded to copy *4 backups ONLY* (why ?) in TM1,5To.
I immediately verified and checked each of these with Get Info.
They had EXACTLY the same size (Byte to Byte) as in TM1To.
➔ BUT HERE IS MY OBSERVATION :
After designing TM1,5To as Time Machine Disk, I ordered it to Backup (now).
And what did Time Machine do in TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb ?
It created a *NEW folder*, named *MacBook Pro 2* !
➔ *I HAVE NO ACCESS* to TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* (4 backups copied from TM1To, remember) ;
➔ while I still *HAVE ACCESS* to TM1To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* (19 backups) ;
➔ *AND I HAVE ACCESS* to TM1,5To > Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro 2*,
where Time Machine makes actually his backups.
*NOTE :* If you *change the name* of your computer,
Time Machine *changes automatically the name* of the folder who is in Backups.backupdb folder.
➔ ① I have *never seen* such protections (Sharing and Permissions).
You are not allowed to do anything. I've tried to change permissions,
first : "R+W", after that : "Make (Me) the owner", I can tell you : DON'T DO IT !
➔ ② It's impossible to install an OS on a Time Machine disk
(I thought it would allow better permissions).
OS Installer detects the existence of a Backups.backupdb folder
and refuses to install on this disk or partition.
I have now the bad intent to install minimal OS X
1) after deleting (how ?) this folder (but not its contents, how to move it ?)
and 2) declare *after that* the disk as Time Machine disk.
➔ ③ Time Machine doesn't backup OTHER Time Machine backups
(who are in an ancient-not-choosed-for-backups Time Machine disk) NOR backups this disk
(detects, once again, the existence of a Backups.backupdb folder).
AND you can't *absolutely not remove backups from the folder the're in*
(for me, *MacBook Pro* or *MacBook Pro 2*).
➔ ④ I didn't have time to do it, but I think there would perhaps be a solution
in restoring backups in partitions specially created to receive them (having the same name,
that sort of thing) and then re-backup these partitions (vicious and complicated).
There is a function on Mac OS X Install DVD : start with it, and then (do not install)
choose "*restore from Time Machine backup*" from the menu bar (it's called "Utilities", I believe).
➔ ⑤ I *absolutely don't understand* what follows :
— If I add (in my TM1To disk) the bytes of the 19 backups
in Backups.backupdb > *MacBook Pro* folder, I obtain about *1,8 To*.
— It's impossible (and not french).
— When I check the size used with Disk Utility (NOT with Get Info),
I find a correct (?) size : *about 750 Go*.
— What are Time Machine backups made of ?
It can't be aliases (because of their size, and because *aliases suppose originals,
and where could they be ?*), or am I wrong and becoming crazy ?
➔ ⑥ If you refer to the numbers shown at the end of this text (*4 backups*),
you'll see I could *delete duplicate elements* inside these 4 backups,
to win space (but *what kind* of space *if I delete aliases* ?).
Back-In-Time (see below) says he does it.
BUT is it really the OLDEST items I have to destroy (see ⑤),
when I don't know with what kind of ARTEFACT I'm acting ?
What does Time Machine delete to create more backup space ?
Is it REALLY the OLDEST backups it treats, or duplicates, OR ?
*What you can do :*
Find and go to Tri-Edre.fr or Tri-Edre.com/fr site (it's a french company
that creates small Mac applications since fifteen years at least,
I think I already bought them several programs in 1990) ;
Their program *Back-In-Time 1.4.4* is free (Trial) and complete to download (with PDF docs too).
It is *ENTIRELY DEDICATED* to Time Machine and *things you can't do* with.
Price is about 30 €, I think it's worth.
The TRIAL version you will obtain can only work on the LAST Time Machine backup,
but you will see what's featured *AND :*
You will ACCESS to ANY Time Machine backup you want
(It has to be the last of a serie of backups, but the serie you want.
I've bought the application and own an activation key, but you understand I can't give it to you
(it would not be ethic) and anyway you would be obliged to disconnect AirPort, Ethernet etc.
•➔ I have bought the application because I thought (it's said in PDF FAQs) I could IN THE END move Time Machine backup files, but it cannot, (I'm afraid).
*BUT ANY ACCESS PROBLEM IS SOLVED.*
•➔ Back-In-Time 1.4.4 can *delete :* duplicate backups, complete backups,
or duplicate items inside one or several Time Machine backups,
things that I believe impossible with Time Machine itself
(I've seen it offers to delete ALL occurences of an item) ;
•➔ The application can also restore anything you want, where you want
(but I think Time Machine does it too ?)
•➔ Believe it or not, but since I've bought it on 15/01,
I've only worked about 2 hours (no, much more) on it
and didn't make sufficient progresses (enhancements ?)
to talk of it with sufficient experience (I'm a bad guy, don't you think ?)
•➔ Tri-Edre offers on-line support, e-mail support (and so on),
and I EVEN didn't manage to join them, because I did many other things,
and also somewhat have been disgusted *not to be able to move* or copy
*(accessible by Time Machine after that)* backups,
and I also didn't succeed (*another Time Machine inconvenient*) to DESTROY an ".inProgress"
Time Machine (package) which doesn't work anymore (several interruptions while active),
date (and name) 2010-01-27-164345.inProgress, but is used (*with failure results*)
by Time Machine (it's turned off till I find how to destroy its **** ".inProgress" package.
•➔ I've asked my Apple Adviser Level 2 to wait for news from me
before working himself on the problem, and I think I will send him this message
to prove I haven't forgotten him.
•➔ I'll send it to Tri-Edre too, in the same move.
I hope those remarks to be useful for somebody, tell me if it has helped.
I will also publish this in any Time Machine topics I find here, and in MacRumors site too.
As you can see, I need help too … Does anybody have an idea ?
Perhaps if I used a specific Copy software, it could work ?
You'll see below an example of some time I've spent to study my problem
(you will think I'm crazy).
With my kind regards, and good luck if you have other Time Machine problems !

Dear James Pond,
Thank you once again, and, don't be afraid, I will be as short as possible,
but I need to use your last reply (I've cut all what was already said).
JP ➔ You can copy an entire set of backups, but you cannot copy part of it successfully. See #18 etc.
JP ➔ Read this from the first paragraph: "you cannot copy only selected backups,
or merge two (or more) sets of backups." The structure of the backups simply will not allow it.
I've read it, and found it regrettable. And I've also read, after that, what were the solutions under Leopard and Snow Leopard, and my conclusion is that it's a *dead end* for me. In short,
— I can't move (by drag and drop) the 1To's Backups.backupdb folder (containing MacBook Pro, 19 backups, access) to 1,5To, because there exists already the Backups.backupdb folder created by copy on 12/01 with Apple Assistance (containing [MacBook Pro, 4 backups of 19, no access] and [MacBook Pro 2, 15 backups, access]). I don't even know if it could be deleted by the copy (and I don't wanna do that anyway) ;
— I can't rename (and what for, I already forgot it) any Backups.backupdb folder nor delete it ;
— I can't copy any Computer'sName folder (entire set containing backups), being in a Backups.backup.db folder, into another Backups.backupdb folder ;
— I can't copy any (or all of an entire set) YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS backup(s), being in a Computer'sName folder, into another Computer'sName folder (even if it would be empty).
— Saying NONE in Time Machine Preferences and putting it to OFF is simply no use.
All is said. What I can try to do is :
— Delete (not with Finder, but with Back-In-Time) all duplicate things I find in all backups and also entire duplicate backups (I have full access to all with the software) ;
— Restore each of the reduced-to-minimum backups obtained in specially right-sized partitions wearing the YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS name of each restored backup. Time Machine doesn't backup his backups, but will backup these partitions.
I'm afraid to be actually completely running out of the target, when I read what I write … It's time to go to bed !
Reminder (OH) : Where did you find these amazing informations ?
JP➔ Some of it is detailed here: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/10/12/roadto_maco[]sx_leopard_timemachine.html
➤ Thank you ;
JP➔ and here:
http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2007/10/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14
➤ Thank you too ;
JP➔ You have to understand the structure. When TM does the first backup, yes, it copies everything.
On subsequent backups, it copies what's new or changed, but also makes "hard links" (sort of like aliases) to the copies of the things that didn't change. That's how it can only back up a few things each time, but show you a complete "snapshot" of the way your entire system looked at the time of every backup.
➤ I'll do my best to understand.
JP➔ Time Machine deletes backups under two conditions. See the first part of #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions User Tip, also at the top of this forum.
Under normal circumstances, you should not have to delete any backups. See the rest of #12.
➤ I understood why Time Machine didn't delete oldest backups : they were not weeklies ones.
Reminder (OH) : How can I destroy the (corrupted ?) not working "2010-01-27-164345.inProgress" in 1,5 To, which causes Time Machine to abort any backup of any size I ask ?
JP➔ Why do you think it's corrupted? TM is designed to "recover" a partial backup.
➤ I'll verify that with the little Tools/Apps I discovered in your FAQ User Tip document and downloaded immediately.
Why didn't Apple tell me anything ? It's my fault, I'm perhaps not clear and not demanding enough more from them.
JP➔ You cannot install OSX on a disk containing TM backups. That's because they need to be on separate disks.
Technically, you could put them on separate partitions of the same disk, but that would not be a good idea.
➤ I never told you that (there would be no interest at all). I talked about the same location, to see if it would allow me more permissions, but if all works without doing it, it's really no use.
JP➔ Sorry, I don't know what that means.
➤ I'm sorry, I didn't explain : "but if all works" meant : Copy Backups.backupdb, "without doing it" meant : Install OSX.
➤ If I install an OSX BEFORE, Time Machine will REFUSE completely to backup on it, it's understood.
JP➔ Correct. The partition you're running from will not be an option in TM Preferences > Select Disk. That prevents TM from backing-up it's own backups!
➤ Would it be so absurd ? Maybe it could resolve my actual problem ?
I think you are right, but I don't know why. I trust you.
Reminder (OH) : "I will not bore you again except if I don't find a specific answer to an unknown-never-seen-incredible malfuction."
JP➔ Don't worry about that -- thats what this forum is for, especially if you're still having problems.
➤ It's seems in fact that there is no possible solution, except what I said above and is certainly crazy/out of subject.
Just try to be as clear and concise as you can.
And please don't post the same things repeatedly -- it wastes your time and ours, and can confuse other folks.
➤ You're absolutely right and I tried to do so this time, and I'm sorry because I see it's still (far) not enough (short).
Thank you once more. I wish you a good evening and week-end. Here it's 01:40 AM.
With my kind regards

What size Time Capsule - i.e. how big are Time Machine Backups

Hi all,
Just trying to decide which Time Capsule to get...my question is basically how big are Time Machine backups.
For example I have a MacBook with 100gb harddrive. At the moment about 80gb in use.
I assume the Time Capsule will immediately backup that 80gb but how big are the incremental backups. If I modify about a GB's worth of data each day, does this GB get moved to the capsule or is Time Machine cleverer than this and only backups the changes at byte level for example.
Any pointers, thoughts, etc. much appreciated.
Michael.

I have an iMac with a 500GB hard drive and a MacBook with an 80GB hard drive. The MacBook is nearing capacity but the iMac has around 90GB of data (the Time Machine backup is around 93GB). I will likely opt for the 1TB version as I am eligable for a Government discount bringing the cost down to £303 (£183 for the 500GB version). As it's unlikely that it will be easy to upgrade the Time Capsule HDD then I'm looking at future proofing as I do not want to have to repurchase in a few years. I'm also likely to buying a second MacBook or MacBook Pro in the coming months so it does make sense.
Secondly, you can use the Time Capsule as a shared storage area as well as for the Time Machine function.

HT3275 "/Volumes/Alyssa McCulloch's Time Cap/Macintosh.sparsebundle" this is message I'm getting not sure what it means.

This is the message I"m getting and none of the trouble shooting help catagories seem to mention this specifically. , “/Volumes/Alyssa McCulloch's Time Cap/Macintosh.sparsebundle is already in use."

Are you really on Snow Leopard as per your profile.. the error really is rare on any OS before Lion and Most Common on ML.
Most common message in history of the TC.. something has failed to unmount.. Lion and esp. Mountain Lion are affected.
Simple way.. reboot the TC to lose the connections..
Might take a network reboot.
That means restart the whole network from off.. start in order, modem.. router/TC.. clients. 2min gap between them.
But from 5.6 utility you can disconnnect all users.
Read C12 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

Is Time Capsule Apple's way of admitting AEBS Disks does not work?

The support/discussion area is full of posts from many of us who have struggled to find a working solution for our Airport Extreme Base Stations with an attached disk drive; our frustration and patience has been tested as this was a promised technology, advertised to work at sale of the AEBS. Moreover, Apple touted the wireless backup with Time Machine as Leopard got close to shipment, but pulled the technology at the last minute.
So my question to Apple is, are you now admitting that AEBS + Disk simply does not work, and if so what are you going to do for those of us to bought into a technology promise that has simply failed?
Any insight, suggestions, patches, or even communication would be a HUGE and welcome change given the misinformation we have endured to date.

Interesting points from several of you. I am sure if these are global issue I might not have encountered them due to my light usage of AEBS external disk to date. That stems of course from my heavy usage of my Linux server mentioned earlier. I am sure that I might encounter some of them if a moved all my data onto an "Air Disk."
It sounds however that the problems are more OS X / Air Disk Client issues than AEBS from this point of view. Without actively troubleshooting them it's hard telling. Just a couple thoughts - please ignore if already covered elsewhere:
1. For the "after a couple days - vanished" issue: Have you also tried another OS other than OS X? (Windows, Linux, Solaris, BSD, anything with a samba client) Are you connecting via Air Disk or SMB? I do not know the internals of Air Disk, but I have been using the samba services of the AEBS.
2. As for automount, this very much sounds like a problem with the Volume Manager in OS X. Have you sniffed the network to determine if the VM is sending out the request for mount?
3. Finder not showing unless displayed/accessed via Desktop sounds 100% OS X problem.
4. 10.4 vs. 10.5 issue again points to OS X.
5. Access permissions: This is a common issue with NAS storage. Most times it comes back to end user not understanding the capabilities or poor/incomplete documentation of the product again causing misunderstanding. I would guess given the "it just works" mantra that the documentation is somewhat lack luster causing end user confusion.
6. Time Machine Target: I agree and they should fix this. Especially with another near identical product being released. I expect an firmware update for the AEBS when TC is released.
I am not trying to be a PITA, just trying to lend my knowledge/experience to the community. I have been working with carrier class networking and storage for nearly a decade. That being said, I don't expect this device to keep pace with those environments or feature sets. This is old news for that space, but cutting edge for the SOHO and consumer space. There will be bumps in the road caused by both the vendor and end user.
I think the most important things to determine is if "Air Disk uses SMB/Bonj/etc or a proprietary application protocol. Then if the problem is with Air Disk or direct SMB access (or both.) Lastly it needs to be determined if this is a client (OS X / Air Disk) or server (AEBS) problem. These issues can not be solved until one device is pinpointed as the cause for each of these issues. Many of these in fact sound like client issues in OS X and it's supported applications. (Particularly TM sounds at fault since I can not use my SMB shares on my Linux server as a target.) I am willing to help troubleshoot, but only to an extent since we all paid Apple the money not me. =)

After i install firefox 6 what will gonna happen to my orbit downloder V4.1.0.2 ?am i still able to download through orbit?last time when i upgrade to firefox 5 my orbit did not worked. thanks

last time i had older version of orbit downloder, so when i uupgrade my firefox to firefox 5.the orbit downloder grab ++ did not work.
i mean before i was able to download video when i browse with firefox 4. after upgrading it i could not do it.
now i have the ORBIT DOWNLODER latest version V 4.1.0.2
my question is if i upgrade to Firefox 6, this orbit downloder grab ++ will it work or will it crash?
so i'm afraid of upgrade to firefox 6.
thanks

thx ,lot! appreciate!i think the same as you. FF should stay on same platform for a while until others approaching to the same platform ,
FF should understand this issue seriously.

ITunes installation for 11.1.4 failed, tried multiple other ways to install/repair...still not working (cannot open)

I got an error message after trying to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. I have tried installing via Apple Download (originally did this and it didn't work either of the times I tried), manually tried installing/repairing (gave error message that it couldn't open when it finished), from the apple site (tried repairing and gave exact same error message as manual update), and uninstalled and then reinstalled (took a long time on installing the startup section of the reparing...pretty sure that's where the error is in the update) followed with a restart of my computer...still same error message. If anyone knows how to fix this or if Apple could fix this, that would be great. Error messages displayed:

The first error is your same 127 error and the other error looks like this -

As for what I did, I uninstalled then reinstalled. Same thing. Then I uninstalled everything Apple related on my PC then reinstalled Quicktime then iTunes. Same thing. Then I uninstalled everyting Apple related again then installed iTunes. Same thing.
Hopefully it will be patched soon.

How do I deal with things not working in PS CC?

I need some advise in how to troubleshoot various difficulties.
Last time I used Photoshop was like over many years ago like in version 2 or somewhere close to it and I am running into problems with it.
I have creative cloud version of photoshop. I have been following tutorials even got the book Adobe Photoshop CC In The Classroom.
But I keep running into things not working for me.
I am in the first lesson learning how to open files with the shortcut keys and nothing is happening.
Yesterday I was trying to follow tutorial in PSDtuts on perspective I found via the learning section of Adobe.
First issue I had was I think program is geared towards CS6.
It seems like most tutorials are geared for CS6.
I have similar tools as CS6 I assume but when I follow along they don't work like the tutorials.
Example first problem I had was making perspective line with the little triangle tool I can't remember of name of on the top.
I was suppose to move the line every 2 degrees making more lines but my line kept shrinking until it vanished.
And then when I was working Vanishing Point I couldn't get feature I wanted in the settings, it was grey out.
Any pointers in how to resolve this?

Here is the smallest I can go without losing the image. Ugh sorry the site did scramble the display of words for me for me so you can't see the words. But if you look in PS its in Effects drop down window its there sort of in middle of the list to the end called "Vanishing point."
Here is the vanishing point tool before and being selected with the grayed out area. Only way to get the graph back in from the tutorial said I need to select "Render Grid to Photoshop" but its grayed out.
My cap lock wasn't on. It was the ctrl alt shift short cut and I think in that case I didn't understand that it open PS when it was already closed but still seem to be messing up. I thought it was short cut key to open new file.
I learned about it in this video. http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/drawing/work-with-perspective-photoshop/
I tried to follow a long for about the whole half hour video and everything I tried. Hope its okay to post links. It was found in the learning section in main site when I did search for perspective. I was trying find another perspective tool. LOL

Repair Permissions: Slow or Not Working?

Is the Repair Permissions function in Leopard NOT working, or just incredibly slow (and progress not showing properly)? Some would report that it IS working, but takes a long time, sometimes even a few hours. Any experiences?

"I'm having trouble with Parallels".
My new MBPC2D with OSX.5 worked fine, until I ran Parallel with Bootcamp partition. OSX.5 won't start anymore, since it is in an indefinite start up loop, before ever getting to a blue screen. Starting on XP works fine, as does an OSX.5 back-up on a FW disk.
So I did a complete re-install. As before everything worked fine until Parallels and Bootcamp. Same miserable result. What to do? Permissions repair does not complete while running the book hot.
I bought the new book for running OSX and XP at reasonable speed in the first place!

How come my mini iPad is not working after trying to update apps?

My mini iPad is repeatedly showing me a black screen with a, "white apple," in the middle & then a couple of minutes later it turns off for a few minutes. Then the black screen with the, "white apple," in the middle comes back on again and then it goes black again. Sometimes the black screen would lighten and the whole pattern of these "screens" would start over again. It's been doing this for hours since I fell asleep.
This happened when I was trying to update 4-5 apps at the same time. It had trouble updating the, "Pinterest app." It failed once and I retried it and that's when my mini ipad started to not work. I can't use it at all. I never had trouble updating several apps at one time before. I was at home using my wifi and my wifi strength was at its maximum for the iPad.
The battery was at 40 something%, so I charged it over night. It has the latest iOS update software. I had downloaded that yesterday.
I plugged it into iTunes on my computer and the same thing is happening. It's picking up my icloud stuff like my music and videos and my computer is trying to import photos from my mini ipad automatically, but my iPad isn't fully recognizable on iTunes. I get 2 error messages. One says, "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." I also get an error when trying to import photos (just to try it out). The other error message says, "The iPad cannot be sync because this iPad cannot be found."
And so, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and I get the same response. My iTunes is the latest version.
I don't have warranty on this iPad and I spent like $500 on this one. I'm kinda worried...?
Any kind of response would be appreciated....

First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
