What is a missing thread record (id = 3339624) and what can I do about it?

I was trying to updat my IMac to snow leopard and got an error during the process. I restarted my computer on the HD that I was trying to update and I get the boot screen and then it turns off. I then got it to boot on the SL disk and it got me to the repair prompt and the DU. When I verify the HD I get missing thread record (id = 3339624) and It grays out the HD. After restarting and getting back to the DU I can see it again and all my files on it. I no longer care about updating I just want to be back to normal. I don't have any time machean backups and I am very worried. It makes it even worse being able to see my files but not be able to get to them.

That error message means that Disk Utility can't reconcile the catalog entry for a file and it's location on the hard drive. That could mean a problem with the file or a problem with the catalog.
Verifying the hard drive doesn't fix anything, it just reports it's status. You need to boot to either your Leopard or Snow Leopard DVD, bring up Disk Utility, and repair the hard drive. If Disk Utility gives a failure on exit message or tells you it can't repair the hard drive, then you'll need to use a program like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro, with Disk Warrior being the program most people use. That should be able to fix the problem. Disk Warrior is available from http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
If you started a major operating system upgrade without having a backup, you're setting yourself up for failure should a problem arise, but you probably know that by now.

Disk Utility and fsck report 'missing thread records' and can't repair.

Hello,
What first made me realise there was a problem with my iMac was that when I tried to update a application it failed. I then manually download the .dmg of the update and tried replaced the app (Transmission 1.82 being that app in question). This failed, OS X claiming that it could not replace the older version (1.81). I then tried copying the file to the desktop where OS X claimed that there was already a copy of the application and so left a corrupted file on my desktop. This also happened when i attempted to move and copy a couple of pages documents and movie files around. I decided the best thing to do at this point was to reboot my computer; OS X decided it needed to install a couple of security updates at this point. This installation failed.
My iMac booted up, but only after a progress bar has appeared under the Apple logo and spinner and has done its thing (From what I've read this means that OS X is trying its best to resolve some sort of errors). This happens upon every boot.
This made me think that something must be going on with the file system of my Mac so I ran all the tests in Disk Utility. Permissions repair ran fine and fixed a few issues, but when I verified the disk this is what it reported:
"Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Performing live verification.

The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."
I booted up from the DVD and tried to repair; this failed. Next I tried using fsck in single user mode; this also failed. Upon rebooting again and waiting for the progress bar to fill I was able to move files around and update Transmission without issue. Disk Utility still reports the same error.
If I boot into Windows Vista everything works perfectly; as of yet I haven't got around to installing the new Boot Camp update for Windows 7 support incase that changes anything. When running the diagnostic tool on the Windows Vista DVD it reports that everything is fine for Windows.
I really am at a loss for what to do next. All my data is backed up by Time Machine onto a Time Capsule as well as manually onto a FW external. I also made a clone of the Windows partition using the free app Winclone. Does anyone know anything I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks so much,
Sam.

I have been experiencing exactly the same problem here with my MacPro. Apple replaced the hard disk because it was reporting bad sectors. However even with the replacement hard disk I'm experiencing the "missing thread" issue again. I'm guessing its either a software issue that keeps recurring or a fundamental hardware issue. Is the disk controller part of the hard disk or the motherboard? I've never had hard disk problems like this before.
Here's my Disk Utility report from earlier today:

Missing Thread Record and Invalid Extent entry when booting

Hi all,
When I boot up my PowerBook G4 it freezes. When I boot into single user mode and run fsck -fy I get the following messages:
** /dev/rdisk0s3
** Root file system
** Checking HFS Plus volume
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
Missing thread record (id = 72)
Invalid extent entry
(4, 14531)
** Volume check failed.
I do not have Disk Warrior nor the Apple disks with me. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Navigating my disk in single user mode seems to have all my directories etc.
Thanks!

I am trying to back up my data now. I only have my FAT32 formated iPod with me and I'm trying to mount it to backup my photos before I reinstall. Unfortunately I do not see my iPod popping up in /dev at all so I cannot even mount it.
It's a USB connection so I suspect that single user mode doesn't pick it up... Any advice on how to mount a filesystem from my iPod in single user mode is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Time machine restore: missing thread record

Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I did a clean install. I have been backing up with Time Machine to my Lacie Cloudbox NAS. My NAS requires authentication.
I am unable to restore my files. I have tried it during installation and with Migration Assistant. I can see my .sparsebundle through Finder and mount it (and see an inprogress with loads of folders inside of it). I am unable to copy the files directly to my desktop because of an permission warning.
From Windows I can see loads of files inside the bands-folder. They are all equal in size. I found a clue that maybe the most recent ones are corrupt, so I moved two days worth of them out from sparsebundle.
Disk utility says the drive needs to be repaired. I tried this, and got loads of errors. I there are so many of these that I have shortened the list below a lot. Please help me, all my valuable files are inside the .sparsebundle (510 gigs). I don't care about automation, I just want them out.

The volume Time Machine Backups could not be repaired.
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.

The backup disk image is corrupt. You might be able to repair it by holding down the option key and selecting Verify Backups from the Time Machine menu. But that may also result in a total loss of all backup data. Backing up to a third-party NAS is unsupported by Apple and unsafe. You should back up to a locally-attached storage device.

It doesn't matter when you installed antivirus software; if you have it on your computer it will frequently block access from applications to sites it does not know about. A sync does not require access to a site not on your computer; an upgrade clearly does. So if you have never jailbroken any device you do not need to be concerned about your hosts file, but you DO need to temporarily disable your antivirus during the update process.
The hosts file is an operating system file on all computers that overrides DNS lookup. In order to jailbreak or hack an iDevice the programs that do it need to redirect iTunes so it does not go to the Apple activation server, but instead goes to the hacking program for activation instructions. It does this by adding a record to the hosts file that bypasses the DNS lookup for gs.apple.com. But you don't have to be concerned about this.

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

What information is listed in the App Store and hot can I change it?

Hi,
Finally I have submitted my app for review. However, the intent was to transfer it under company name which did not happen. For a number of reasons I do not want my personal information to be displayed/associated with the app.
What information would be displayed with the app and how can I change it? During submission I have not seen anything that would allow me to change/set any of that information.

If want a company name to display, you need a company developer account.
Contact Apple for details.

I have imported a csv from my mortgage repayments, my father and I pay seperate amounts. I am trying to show how much I have paid vs what he has paid, how much is owed and what % we own.. We are 50/50 on the property

I have imported a csv from my mortgage repayments, my father and I pay seperate amounts. I am trying to show how much I have paid vs what he has paid, how much is owed and what % we own.. We are 50/50 on the property.. Help?

Hi Spears,
I not sure what your actual question is.
Does the CSV file include only your payments? Your payments and your dad's payments as separate items?
Do you want to com[are ongoing payments, or do you want to compare the current totals paid by each? Is the 'we' in "what we own" collective, or individual? DItto for "how much is owed."
Too many loose ends to tie down a clear answer.

What is the difference in apple disc formats and what is best to use

Impossible to answer your question without knowing what you are attempting to achieve. Please be more descriptive when asking questions otherwise we are just guessing. However if you are going to use a HD exclusively for OS X then the best format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
Get what denoted in what properties link.
You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

What is the relevence of MD04 for SD and what r the things we hav to look

what is the relevence of MD04 for SD and what r the things we hav to look

Hi Venkata,
MD04 will show a collection of the incoming and outgoing stock changes.
And for SD, it will display the content in table VBBE and VBBS (single requirement and total requirement).
The content was updated when the schedule line category is configured as relevant for requirement transfer.
And I often use MD04 together with CO09 to estimate/check a ATP checking result.
Hope this could do help!

Iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done

iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done?

Reboot computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.
