Unable to boot from backup copy of Mac OS 10.4.11 on and external drive

I used disk utility to back up a copy of 10.4.11. I am trying to test it to be sure the backup works in case I need to go back to it.
Hardware Overview:
  Model Name:    MacBook Pro 15"
  Model Identifier:    MacBookPro1,1
  Processor Name:    Intel Core Duo
  Processor Speed:    2.16 GHz
  Number Of Processors:    1
  Total Number Of Cores:    2
  L2 Cache (per processor):    2 MB
  Memory:    2 GB
  Bus Speed:    667 MHz
  Boot ROM Version:    MBP11.0055.B08
  SMC Version:    1.2f10
I have a Lacie mini HD I purchased the same time as my macbook Pro so they are of the same "vintage". Disk has been partitioned like this:
LaCie mini HD SBP-LUN:
  Capacity:    74.53 GB
  Removable Media:    Yes
  BSD Name:    disk1
  OS9 Drivers:    No
  S.M.A.R.T. status:    Not Supported
  Volumes:
Macintosh HD:
  Capacity:    44.49 GB
  Available:    4.37 GB
  Writable:    Yes
  File System:    Journaled HFS+
  BSD Name:    disk1s2
  Mount Point:    /Volumes/Macintosh HD 1
EXTRA BACKUP SPACE:
  Capacity:    29.6 GB
  Available:    29.57 GB
  Writable:    Yes
  File System:    Journaled HFS+
  BSD Name:    disk1s3
  Mount Point:    /Volumes/EXTRA BACKUP SPACE
I have been using the boot with option key  so I can choose the boot drive and it sees the original hard drive and the Lacie version of HD. When I choose the Lacie version it goes into a loop. I know this because I used system preference panel to force startup from the Lacie and I attempted to boot in safe mode just so I could see what it is doing here is what the system log showed and is the same thing I saw on the laptop screen as it was trying to boot:

Any ideas?

re "Apple should have the control panel report the proper IP address"
On clicking Personal web sharing, you get information to the effect:
View this computer’s website at http://10.1.1.4/ or your personal website at http://10.1.1.4/~user/
This is wrong to a user. Others could not enter this URL and get access to the website using this information. This is what I meant by "wrong"--its NOT the IP address that the user should use to view/use the web site. The software already knows its using DHCP, etc., so it should know to present the modem's IP and from memory in the past it did. As a wrote earlier, I used to be able to just copy the IP address given.
What Apple probably need are two statements:
To view this computer’s website from the local network use ...
To view this computer’s website from the internet use ...
Even, then I'd question the use of 10.1.1.4.

  • 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the prob

    My daughter's 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen (null sign displays) after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. I reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP HD, but it still hangs in mid install. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the problem? I'd happily put 8 GB in if it seems probable that would solve the problem. I've tried all the suggested procedures that I've seen posted here. Disk Utility, and my older version of DiskWarrior indicate the HD is OK. I have DiskWarrior 5 on order.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down.  If successful, you should see two HDD icons,  Select the recovery partition (on the right).
    From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility.
    Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
    If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.
    Ciao.

    When the disk was found faulty, still unable to boot the OS from alternate disk, it says it still probe/look for other disk

    Any way, I can disable the faulty disk in BIOS (or) booting from cd-rom and do something to avoid it?

    You can't boot from systems earlier than that shipped with the computer. For example, early 2008 Mac Pros come with 10.5.1 and can't boot 10.5
    Also you can't boot with a DVD that was shipped with a different model Mac.

  • Completely unable to boot camp windows 7 on Mac Pro

    I am at the end of my rope. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 - 2.66 quad core, 7 gigs of ram. I have been trying over and over and over to Boot Camp Windows 7 onto a secondary hard drive. But every single time time, it hangs indefinitely or straight up freezes during "completing installation". I have scoured the interent for answers. I have tried typing shift+f10 when it hangs and typing in explorer.exe. This doesn't work. I have tried having all USB devices unplugged. I have moved the drive from bay 2 to bay 1 and having the other 2 drives empty. I have tried multiple discs. And from what I have found, the Mac Pro is completely unable to boot from a USB drive with the Windows 7 installer on it. WHAT DO I DO? Please help!

    your mac pro like mine has older EFI firmware that does not support booting Windows 7 64-bit.
    You will have to remove all other drives.
    Before you do, reformat the drive you want ot use as Windows Master Boot Record and FAT32, then format the drive with Windows during install.
    Get rid of whatever is on the drive now.
    You will be limited to 1.9GB RAM
    Windows 7 Home Premium supports just one cpu, you have two.
    64-bit Windows requires UEFI which you don't have and would need to edit and modify the DVD (reburn after using Imgburn).
    Easy method: do basic install on a PC and then put the drive in the Mac Pro.

  • Unable to Boot from New HDD ( HELP! )

    Hello,
    Purchased a Seagate 500GB HDD in 2008. Just a few weeks ago, my Power Mac was no longer able to boot from it. It was the infinity gray load screen, then reboot and repeat x forever. Checked cable connections, Disk Utilities said it was 'Ok,' and even sent in the HDD to the manufacture and got a new HDD.
    Now with the new HDD installed, it continues to do the same load screen of death. Oddly, when I boot from the original 80GB that came with the Power Mac, it can read the 500GB HDD without a problem.
    Disk Utilities says its, 'Ok' still.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Depending on Disk Utility?
    You need to give us a little better clue here. You say that you have gotten an exchange drive and you can't boot from that one. How did you get the data onto that drive? Was it a fresh system install or was it a restore from backup?
    When the failed boot is occurring, do you get the spinning-gear progress indicator, or do you not get that far?
    If you get the progress gear going, then a verbose boot (hold down cmd-V combination at power-up until you start to see "dumb terminal" output on the screen) can help diagnose the problem. If you are truly stalling during the boot, this will give you a good idea of where exactly it is stalling.

  • I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    I try to open I photo and  I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

    Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
      Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Boot from PCIe SSD on Mac Pro 3,1

    Hi guys,
    I bought a Early 2008 Mac Pro.
    I'm thinking about disk upgrade, to improve its performance. First i thought about Apricorn velocity x2 with a SSD mounted on it.
    Then i saw this
    Cavalry PCIe MLC SSD (256GB)
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G5Q6Y26?psc=1
    Is this pcie ssd supported by the motherboard?
    Could i also boot from this?
    Thank you

    I have not seen LSI mentioned and would avoid that one
    Dual boot CONFIRMED for new Apricorn Velocity DUO X2!!!  (  1 2 3 4 5 6 ... Last Page)
    SATA Express meets the '09 MacPro - Bootable NGFF PCIE SSD  (  1 2 3 4 5 6 ... Last Page) 
    handheldgames
    Is the state of the art in SSD
    Booting is low on priority to me, even a good SSD on native SATA II drive bay bus will help immensely.
    PCIe is helpful when it comes to data, scratch, graphic libraries.

  • Unable to Boot from Superdrive

    CDs and DVDs will play fine but I can't BOOT from the superdrive. The same discs (OSX install disc and newest Diskwarrior) will PLAY in the drive. I just can't get the macbookpro to boot from them. I've tried holding down all the usual keystrokes at startup to no avail. What happens is that it chimes, waits a few seconds, then the screen goes black and it chimes again, repeating this over and over as long as any key is held down. Repaired permissions, ran Diskwarrior on it from another mac linked up with Target mode, but still I can't boot from the superdrive. I'm seeing other reports of this. Anyone find a solution?

    Hmm... I haven't heard of this problem before... perhaps something went screwy in your firmware. Have you tried resetting the SMC and PRAM (the PRAM would more likely be the culprit)?

  • UCS Unable to boot from SAN

    I have some blades that I'm unable to boot from SAN.  The weird thing is I can see the LUN's and I can install ESXi 5.5 fine.  It's up until I reboot and the blades just boot to the BIOS because they don't see any disk.  When I try to change boot order, the only thing I can boot to is UEFI.  

    When you see your lun, and can install ESXi, it means, that
    - your zoning is correct
    - your lun masking / mapping is correct
    If boot fails, your boot policy is the problem ! are you sure, that the target pwwn points to the controller of the disksubsystem, that the lun nr. is correct ? we seen all kind of weird things, like cable crossed,.....

  • How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive

    How do I Retrieve imovie projects from and external drive back into my mac internal drive?
    Thank You

    Every working drive, Internal or External, should produce an Icon on your Desktop. If you cannot see those, click on the Desktop (to get Finder) and choose Preferences off the Finder Menu. The general pane has checkboxes for "Show these items on the Desktop:"
    Double click the Icon for your External Drive to open it. Open the folders on it until you find the Items you want to copy. Drag them to the Icon of your Internal Drive, or open the folder where you want them to land and drop them in there.
    A drive that does not appear on the desktop after you have asked it to may be damaged. But it would be smart to do a Restart to see if it is recognized again at next Startup.

  • HT4914 My music is stored on an external hard drive. All music that I buy, whether from itunes or some other provider, automatically gets loaded onto my external drive. There is some music on my computer drive as well. Will match work in this circumstance

    My music is stored on an external hard drive. All music that I buy, whether from itunes or some other provider, automatically gets loaded onto my external drive. There is some music on my computer drive as well. Will match work in this circumstance?

    I followed all the instructions for consolidating my music into one folder on my external hard drive. (I'm struggling with this because my ext HD was renamed when I synched my iPod shuffle last night. The "E:" drive has now become the "F:" drive and all my songs have those dreaded exclamation points next to them. Exploring my computer, I found "My music" folders in two place on my C: drive and one place on my external hard drive... and the song list in each place is different.
    Argh.
    So... following the directions in the article reference here, I attempted to consolidate all of my songs into one folder on my external hard drive.
    But.. I checked the song list when the "consolidation" was complete... and MANY songs are missing. They're still on the C: drive, but don't appear to have been copied to the new folder on the ext HD.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks so much!
    Edit: I tried to reassign the ext. HD a permanent letter, but my Control panel does not appear to offer the option of Administrative tools. Is there an easy way to get to this, as this seems to be the root of the problem?
    Thanks.

    Leopard.  Did a full restore from Time Machine.  Now I can't access my other internal and external drives.  I get the following error: The folder “Capture Video” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.  I have repaired permissions pn the main harddrive.  When I try too click on a disk I get the previously stated error.  I can't even open up information to see what permission/access there is.  It simply will not let me see the content.  It shows the content of my main hard drive when I have clicked the other harddrive's name.

    Solved:

  • Cannot install Yosemite as it keeps telling me both my internal and external drives are time machine backups

    Cannot install Yosemite. Keeps telling me that both my internal and external
    drives are backing up with TIme Machine. Any suggestions?

    Is it actively backing up, or are you encountering a dialog stating that Yosemite cannot be installed because the disk is being used for Time Machine backups?
    Read OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups
    If for some reason you have a folder called Backups.backupdb at the root level of the hard disk on which you want to install Yosemite, move it to the Trash.

  • I can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive.

    i can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive. Help please ?

    Most likely, the "requested location" where you are trying to copy files to does not have WRITE permission, and so you need to change the permissions.
