Is my mac broken?

Hello...

I managed to delete the folder "private" to get more space Go not knowing what it was. I restarted my mac to factory settings and installed the new OS X it freezes at "installation of your mac" pls help

First things first; you have a Time Machine backup?

By organizing the Cmd - R in the chime, you should boot into Recovery Mode. From there, you can restore from a TM backup, if you have a full, or you can reinstall the operating system. More details on the recovery mode: On OS X Recovery - Apple Support

If you have a backup, choose to do a full restore of the entire system. It will take more time, but you can be sure that you have everything.

Reinstall will require a long download to Apple, so make sure you have plugged in power and ethernet if possible. For the future, it is useful to keep a disk bootable installation autour; Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable. They are cheap, efficient and saves a lot of hassle. I have one for 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11 and I'll make one for 10.12 this week.

If installation stops, you can select the Setup log in the window Menu to see what's happening over time.

  • DW - MX on Mac broken images

    I am reasonably familiar with DW - MX V 6.0 on Mac, but this one left me speechless. Maybe I'm not as familiar as I thought?

    My wife got a new machine and did a lot of file and folder rearranging but no change of name. It broke every image in three of its sites. The code for the correct files points. I tried to remove and rebuiling site maps, but it does not help. Even remove the images of the pages and re - insert won't bring them back. This morning I went in its prefs and changed the window "icons and text" INSERT "text" and even the images of the icon are broken. It seems that no matter where I should get a picture, all I get is the broken image icon.

    Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this?

    The path exists. Even with new images in the new pages would not work.

    We trashed the entire application. He was not more effort - worth three days was enough.

  • My mac broken Migration Assistant! (Bluetooth, permissions etc.)

    So a few days ago, I decided to use the Upsizing Wizard to make certain files and applications in front of my imac 2008 to my imac to 2014.  Running osx 10.11.4.  Part of the reason was to put all of my files in one place and consolidate my backups that I didn't have a recent backup of the unit in 2014.

    Long story short, bluetooth doesn't work anymore so I can't connect my trackpad or mouse or keyboard and Office 2011 is no longer opens either.  I lost the permission to delete or edit a bunch of files too.

    I tried most of the things I can find via google, such as deleting the bluetooth plist file.  However, the plist in my library/preferences folder files are all unlocked.  Nothing seems to unlock.  I can not add an admin via the permissions option.  I tried to disable SIP.  I also did a full reinstall of Mac OS x.  Nothing works.

    I have 1 admin account and 1 guest.

    Really get pretty annoyed now how the poor migration tool is and evil, it's done.  Apple support suggested the re-installation of Mac OS x, but that made no difference so have another call reserved (e).    I need to be able to use Office because I work from home!

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    This procedure will unlock all your user (not system files) files and reset their ownership, permissions and default access controls. If you have voluntarily set special values for these attributes on any of your files, they will be be restored. In this case, either stop there, or be ready to recreate the settings if necessary. Do that after checking these settings that did not cause the problem. If none of that is meaningful to you, you need not worry about this, but do not follow the instructions below.

    Step 1

    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to step 2.

    Triple-click anywhere in the next line to this page to select this option:

    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nosappnd,noschg,nosunlnk,nouappnd,nouchg {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing Command + V. I tried these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting.

    You will be asked your password of connection that are not displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator.

    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have. Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) to appear, and then quit Terminal.

    Step 2 (optional)

    Take this step only if you have trouble with the phase 1, if you prefer not to consider, or if this does not resolve the problem.

    Start in recovery mode. You may be prompted to select a language, then the OS X Utilities appears.

    If you use FileVault 2, select disk utility, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Select open in the file menu and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    Select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar. It will open a Terminal window. In this window, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. You do not need to reset a password.

    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name) if not already selected.

    Select your username in the menu option allows you to select the account if not already selected.

    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the reset button.

    Select

    ▹ Restart 

    in the menu bar.

  • Public static assignment MAC broken?

    As far as I know, I'm doing everything correctly, but I can't not statically assign a MAC address for a virtual machine in ESXi 4.0 + vCenter 4.0.0 (no patches on either)

    I am trying to assign a MAC address for a virtual machine as 00:50:56:98:37:24.

    I have the virtual machine is turned off, I change the NIC settings in the GUI, and I specify the MAC address listed in the box.

    I get an error saying "the MAC address you entered is not in the valid range. ' Valid values are between 00:50:56:00:00:00 and 00:50:56:3f: ff: ff.

    Now I'm not a math wiz, but I know that the MAC I'm giving him is between. So, what gives? I tried to do the same thing in PowerShell and he complained.

    I resorted to directly modify the VMX file and adding:

    ethernet0. AddressType = 'static '.

    ethernet0. Address = "00:50:56:98:37:24".

    That works fine, start machine, no errors, and the GUI shows the correct value. So is this a bug in the API? I tried via vCenter and directly connected to the ESX Server, both in vain.

    UH... you can double-check your math.  98 is certainly superior to 3F.

  • Mac question: could not get the object file Photoshop Document object

    Hello

    I posted this question in my previous post, I hope I can get some aid.

    I created a group of Photoshop using Extension Builder 1.5, the Panel works perfectly in the window, but when I switch to Mac, broken things. I found the SDK on Mac is unable to me the Document.fullName when I open an image file in the formats JPG/GIF/PNG, event with the workaround provided by Bob (tml http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Creative_Suite_Extensions_and_the_Photoshop_CS5_Re-17727.h( )

    Actually, it is not question of Photoshop event, is open a JPG of my disk image, click a button in my Panel that will get the activeDocument, then try to get the object File from it, the Document.fullName always null. However, if I open the image in the Photoshop folder installed, it looks very good.

    Thank you

    Hi Alan,

    I took the project I have included in my response to your other thread and changed it so that I can open a file, click a button and see the contents of app.activeDocument in the debugger. Then I open a JPG file and debugged to the extension in Photoshop.

    No problem at this end.

  • Caching Service broken for Macs?

    I ran on an issue that has published some time ago and is still a problem.

    It seems that the cache server does not work for any Mac that I get when they

    request for updates to the shop of MacApp.  It didn't matter if the update is

    a system update or and for an application update.

    However, any request for an iOS based app, no matter where the application

    comes, iTunes on a Mac or device iOS itself, is recognized, downloaded and cached

    and served on demand by a device iOS or iTunes on a Mac (Update pane in iTunes apps).

    On RARE occasions, an application of MacApp store is displayed in server log caching, but that ends

    by be the extent of it.

    One of the first reasons to use the caching server is save the download bandwidth and only

    need to download something once, but it does not work for the Mac (I have 5).  All the

    Mac is running 10.11.4 (10.11.3 before etc.).  The current version of the application server is 5.1, but

    This has happened for some time before this update (was hoping that this would finally fix it).

    The caching service worked as expected, as far as I could remember in Yosemite and

    front.

    Therefore, this feature actually eliminated?  Is it broken?  I have re-installed server, deleted

    caches and restarted, but had no success.

    In the "Country Restrictions" section of https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204675 :

    • Download iTunes could not be cached if the IP address of the client is not associated with your area of the iTunes Store.

    This could be your problem?  In other words, the Apple ID, you use in the App Store is registered in the country where your cache server is running?

    External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

    and activate it with your serial number.

    If you have a problem from the download, you follow the 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.

    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow the steps 1, 2, and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system, allowing you to download the correct version of the adobe.com site).

    failure to obtain this cookie translates into an error page displayed after clicking on a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (e.g., current) version.

  • Bug report: save changes to geometry on Mac is broken (.) Fuse and create the preset of the agenda)

    As I mentioned previously, save changes to the geometry in a file .fuse on Mac did not work for hair and beard with a Brute and MaleFit of mounting configurations.

    Create predefined element and save the item selected in the form of preset are also similarly broken when you try to save changes to the geometry.

    Any chance your engineers can provide an ETA on a fix for this as not being is not in a position to save his work is a very big problem?

    Mac OSX 10.10.5, fuse CC Preview

    As a work-around, I was hoping I could use 'Save selected item as new preset catalogue' (star icon) or create predefined element (menu).  Nope it's broken as well.

    No need to post pictures since you can test it in 30 seconds approximately:

    1. Choose default values of the Assembly MaleFit

    2. Choose hair (braid, step back... "I don't think it's important), change the geometry, 'Save as a preset point them' (the star icon) or 'Create predefined item' in the menu.

    3. Notes the thumbnail to your newly named item does not show changes.  Choose your preset mods and newly appointed geometry are lost and were not saved.

    4. save modded point character for. FUSE file. Reload.  All mods geometry are lost.

    Repeat for the gloves.

    Thank you

    Allan

    Able to reproduce on the Brute!  Has made a few turns and looks like for example, much cannot be edited/saved on the Brute, but can be has made male.

    I have connected this bug for fixing!

  • How do we install Creative Suite on my new Mac Book, if my old Mac Book is broken and the disk has been moved?

    My old Mac Book is broken and no longer turns. A couple of years ago, I bought the Creative Suite from Apple and would like to transfer it to my new Mac Book. However, to make things more complicated I seem to have misplaced my disk. How do you propose that I transfer to my new Mac Creative Suite?

    Thank you very much

    Jess

    You don't want to transfer even if you could.  Transfer does not work in most cases.  You must install using installation files.  You can download these files (cannot provide a general link since you don't specify the version)...

    You will need your serial number to activate, which is normally on the disc case.  If you have registered the software when you initially installed then you may be able to find it registered in your Adobe account online in the section my products.
