What does it mean?? /etc/master.passwd:No such file or directory fou

So I finally got the Mac after 7 years of savings and when I installed FinalCut turned it off and then turned it back on this screen shows up stating
/etc/master.passwd:No such file or directory found
-sh-2.05b# CSRHIDTransitionDriver::stop
IOBluetoothHCIController:: start Idle Timer Stopped
I tried restarting I tried the PRAM and those don't work. What do I do to fix this situation. I am so sad that when I am ready to get to work on my computer this problem arises. Experts Please Help!!

That is an odd error. I assume you are running OS 10.5. Pease open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. Paste this command into Terminal:
<pre style='font-family: Monaco;width: 90%; margin: auto; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #B1B5B9; background: #EEEFF1;'>ls /etc/master.passwd</pre>
then press "return". You should see something like this:
-rw------- 1 root wheel 3088 Sep 23 15:37 /etc/master.passwd
If you do not, then the file has somehow gone missing. If the file looks OK, it's possible your permissions need repairing, or that some daemon is not running.

Please Help!! /etc/master.passwd: no such file or directory.

:( after I had restored my iMac with mount -uw /....
I had lost everything even my etc and var folder, and after I had finished restore I started up my iMac with a black screen saying /etc/master.passwd: no such file or directory. -sh-2.05b. I had tried all everything I could do and nothing seem to happen, and also I don't have my install disk or any disc, would you please help me I won't to use my computer again.

Boot to the Recovery HD partition, Command + r keys at startup, or the Online Internet recovery system, Command + Option/Alt + r keys at startup and hold them down until you see a globe on the screen and from the resulting Mac OS X Utilities screen that comes up with either select Reinstall Mac OS X.
Not sure what you were trying to do, you aren't making that clear with the terminal command you supposedly used, but whatever it was fouled up your system and you will need to reinstall OS X or restore from a Time Machine backup.

Macbook pro says /etc/master.passwd: no such file or directory

macbook pro says /etc/master.passwd: no such file or directory

A quick search seems to point to the same answer:
Your master password file is corrupt. You must reinstall OS X to fix it.
I realise that doesn't help, but its the only answer I found.

What does it mean when there is a flashing file folder with a question mark when trying to start computer?

When I try to start my computer a flashing file folder with a question mark is on the screen. I can't open anything up. What does this mean?

There are four general causes of this issue:
1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

What does E_ADEPT_XML_SYNTAX mean.. The downloaded acsm-file does not open in Adobe Digital Editions

downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 4, and registered computer, verified email and then downloaded e-book from retailer, but the acmsfile does not want to open.
This is very frustrating

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

What is "Launcher Error: startup dir error - ]:- No such file or directory"

I have the latsest version up for my UNIX Tidal Agent....

Assuming this is a job definition issue
(usually error on launch = issue with command line)
your job definition must have an illegal character or non-existant path in the "working dir" on the Program tab
Does the command works from the actual agent.?

/etc/master.passsword/: no such password or file

I bought a G4 Cube. I threw away several files of which I THOUGHT that they were trash (the first owner experimented with al kind of stuff without knowledge) ... and I'm not an expert to . All the files stood in the root of the harddisk and I never saw them on my G5.
At starting up, the Cube-screen tells on a black background:
/etc/master.password/ no such file or directory
/etc/master.password/ no such file or directory
-sh-2.05b#.
I tried to restart with a 10.3-DVD ... without result.
Who can tell me what to do.

Cube Mac OS X (10.3)

Use a retail set of Mac OS X installation disks to perform an Archive & Install of Mac OS X. You may find that an Open Firmware password has been set on the machine; to tell, hold down the Option key at startup and check if the screen you see has a padlock icon. If so, contact the person who sold you the machine and get the password from them. If not or if you have the password, restart with the Option key held down if you aren't currently seeing the screen, insert the first or only Mac OS X installation disk, push the button with the curly arrow, click on the CD's icon, and then the button with the straight arrow.
You should not delete items outside of your home folder if you're not sure what the item's purpose is.

Music I purchased on I Tunes is not available when I open ITunes in I Movie. I Movie says those files are "protected" and not accessible. What does that mean and can I change them to "unprotected" so I can use them in IMovie?

Most of the music that I purchased on I Tunes I bought and downloaded on my old I Mac which I replaced with this I Mac about 9 months ago. When I"m using I Movie on this I Mac and try to open I Tunes tab in I Movie, most of the files are not accessible because I Movie says those fields are protected. What does that mean and can I change those files to unprotected so they show up in my music in IMovie?
This I Mac is OS X version 10.9.5 Maverick, 2.7GHz Intel Core 15 processor, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 memory.

Your older iTunes music purchases included DRM software to prevent sharing.

Hi,
>>do you recommend using auto undo_management instead of RBS?
Yes. To simplify management of rollback segments, the Oracle9i database introduced Automatic Undo Management (AUM) where the database automatically manages allocation and management of undo (rollback) space among various active sessions. In a database using AUM, all transactions share a single undo tablespace. Any executing transaction can consume free space in this tablespace. Undo space is dynamically transferred from committed transactions to executing transactions in the event of space scarcity in the undo tablespace..The AUM feature also provides a way for administrators to exert control on undo retention. You can specify the amount of undo to be retained in terms of wall clock time (number of seconds). With retention control, you can configure your systems to allow long running queries to execute successfully without encountering ORA-1555 (Snapshot too old) errors ...
For more information, you can take a look on these links below:

How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3

I'm trying to download my Master CS6 onto a new hard drive because my old one crashed and I keep getting a message saying " Cannot write the file" or "I don't have permission to access the requested resource." ? What does this mean?

I'm trying to download my Master CS6 onto a new hard drive because my old one crashed and I keep getting a message saying " Cannot write the file" or "I don't have permission to access the requested resource." ? What does this mean?

Yes- it is a Mac. I went through adobes system requirements and re- downloaded supportive software. The notice seems to happen near the end of the down load with the messages above. I'll look into your suggestion. Thank you- appreciated.
