With the Mavericks 2009 MBP starts, won't back up

I have a MacBook Pro for mid-2009 Mavericks running (slowly). Two days ago, he froze and wouldn't respond. I let it rest awhile and then held down the power button. When I turned it back on, he got on the gray apple screen and then the loading wheel would run indefinitely. I close it then once again, but nothing helped. I looked online and found Linc Davis's response:

MacBook pro won't start.  Stuck on apple with spinning logo.

Under notice here, I deleted an external HD started in recovery mode (which took awhile, but ends by occurred) and the utility disk and from there tried to transfer the partition Go Macintosh HD 499.11 the 500.11 GB Toshiba HD to a slightly larger partition of my HDD external newly restructured. I waited a bit (he told me that I had 1 day and 8 hours continuously without change), and then he gave a "input/output error" and stopped trying. I have since stopped, not wanting to take the risk of any action without advice by Prime.

I have data on that disc that I don't have in my last backup and would like to save as much as possible. What are my options? What should I try next?

If you have another Mac available, I suggest that you try the target disk mode:

https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201462

Or out the HARD drive, install it in a closed enclosure and connect it to another Mac and see if you can access your files.

If no success, the you must decide if you want to try the data recovery software available on the Internet.  It is not free.

Ciao.

  • Connection Officejet 6100 to Wifi with the Mavericks

    I have Mac OS 10.9.2 (Mavericks) and have installed all available updates.  I just bought a HP Officejet 6100.  The configuration software supplied with the printer does not work on the Mavericks.  I can use the printer via USB, but have no idea how to do to connect the printer to my wifi network.  All the instructions I found point using the diskette supplied with the printer (not compatible with the Mavericks) or assume that I already connected the printer to my network wifi (which is the problem that I am trying to solve).

    I had HP products in the past and if it is connected to the network, but it supports WPS and has a touchscreen user interface.  This printer does not seem to be supported.  The wifi light just keeps blinking.

    I don't like on ePrint, etc..  I want just the printer connected to my wifi so I can print from any number of computers on this network.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    It wasn't very nice, that we were just trying to help.  Don't tell you specifically that your router has WPS.

    On your printer, press and hold the button wireless for 3 seconds.  Within 2 minutes, press the the router WPS button.

    Wait about 2 minutes. If the printer connect successfully, the wireless light will stop blinking but stays on.

    From there, you can connect your printer on your Mac:

    -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
    -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and then beside the dropdown 'Use', select the model of the printer (not AirPrint). Wait for the 'Add' button becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • HP Director does not not with the Mavericks (10.9)

    I just installed Mavericks on my iMac.  Printing with my LaserJet M1319f MFP is ok but scanning with HP Director does not work.  I repaired permissions and reset the printer.  It still does not.  Any ideas?

    Hello

    HP Director is not compatible with the Mavericks, I fear that scanning is no longer supported on the latest version of OS X from 10.6:

  • B2B generate the file with the file extension will start

    Hi guru B2B.

    We have a problem with the name of the output file. We have customized the java class to change the file name out based on operational needs. It works well, but recently, we see the file with the extension name from "start" are generated with size '0 '. The right files always generated with the appropriate content.

    Can someone tell us what is causing this problem?

    Thank you in advance,

    NAFTA Li

    Hi Alena

    I assume you are using a B2B channel tuned to retrieve messages in a folder. Please check if this channel to listen is to have the parameter enable selected marker.

    Disabling the marker Enable should avoid generating the file start in the folder.

    Thank you

  • better integration with the Mavericks. Still a problem with the display of the menu bar spaces when moved

    Much better integration with the OSX mavericks on the latest version. Without a doubt ahead of Parallels in terms of dual display/full screen. The menu bar has been resolved, but there is a ghost menu bar that appears when you move one space (fullscreen vm) from one monitor to the other. It resembles a translucent bar on top and without words. But clicking on it shows menus as if it is supposed to be links there.

    Yes, it is a known problem with the Mavericks Developer Preview; We work closely with Apple to find a solution. So far, we have seen only with the restoration of the window or when you move the window between monitors - if you leave full screen and enter again, it should work fine. If you notice any others, please let us know.

  • Compatibility to contribute with the Mavericks

    I use Contribute CS3 to edit my site, but now that I've updated my iMac with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Contribute no longer works. Can I upgrade to a version that is compatible with the MAvericks?

    I use 6.5 with OS X 10.8 with some difficulty. Recently, I have recommended a customer to purchase Contribute to maintain a Web site, that we have recently rebuilt for him. It is impossible to install Contribute on its system OS X 10.9 and learned Adobe support that it was "not compatible". I have three questions:

    (1) adobe do intend to solve this problem with a free upgrade?

    (2) if so, when? (not really expect an answer this)

    (3) can anyone recommend another product?

    We do business based on the available information and decisions of reasonable expectations. It is time for Adobe to step up and answer 1. If the answer is no, he needs to return the product and get a refund.

  • How to migrate data with the Mavericks (MacBook) Setup Wizard to El capitan (MacBookPro)

    Hello

    A few days ago, I bought a refurbished MacBook Pro (El Capitan) and intended to migrate the data from my old MacBook (Mavericks) backup via Time Machine. Annoyingly, the migration wizard does not recognize the HD. He's looking for and search, the wheel turns and turns...

    Research on the web it seems to be a common problem. I also read that you can also use the Setup Wizard to migrate all data and programs? Can someone help me with this and tell me how to do? Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the Setup Wizard is the way to go. But you have to use the first time you start your new Mac. So, if you have not done too tight on the new, re - format the hard drive and use the Migration Wizard when you are prompted.

  • Help with the Mavericks block Photoshop CC & bugs with Illustrator CC?

    I missed an update especially for CC users who have upgraded to Mavericks? Wishing to really I had held off on the upgrade of the operating system - Fortunately my CS4 is still compatible with the update of java, just bought the CC license but wanted to use new applications - now Photoshop CC crashes at launch (have not successfully opened a file in there without having to force to leave it) and Illustrator CC rebounded for a while then stopped. To chance five minutes later the application is started. I left it then reopened to search the GAL seemed even once, good - but then switched between that app and the other, then back to Illustrator CC and took time for her to open. I'm on a 3.4 GHz iMac intel core i7 with 16 GB ddr3 1600 mhz memory, it should not have lag issues and is only a few months old.

    This isn't a crash report, just a report of blocking/freezing (crashes and deadlocks are very different things).

    What this shows is that Photoshop was waiting for the BONE to get police information - and which can take some time if the cache OS font is damaged or incomplete (as you have installed the operating system).

  • There is no feature to unlock by Apple Watch with the Mavericks

    Hello

    I've updated my Mac Mini (2013) to the Mavericks but found no line under 'Security' in 'System Preferences' which gives me the option to unlock by Apple Watch? I have re-installed the software but still nothing appears. I've updated my iCloud with the "two factor authentication" settings and still nothing...

    Can someone help me please?

    You say in your post that you have a Mac Mini in 2013, but your lower signature, color gray, says you have a Mac Mini from 2012.

    Who is this?

    In any case, the unlock feature requires any model 2013 and later Mac running the new macOS Sierra (NOT OS X 10.9 Mavericks) using a Apple Watch, running watch OS 3 with an iPhone 5 or later.

    Time for either to update hardware and software!

  • Last Magic Mouse 2 is not compatible with the Mavericks 10.95 - and that stinks

    It is not so much a question as an expression of stunned disappointment.  My old mouse Magic went kablooey, and so I got a new.  Unfortunately when I the paired with my MacPro 2012, running the Mavericks 10.95 (sorry Apple, you have not matched the Mavericks speed and performance with Yosemite and El Capitan) I discovered that features the touch like scrolling and swiping has not worked.

    After an hour to read the little booklet that comes with the mouse, zap the PRAM, reset the SMC and usually ask myself? *  I watched the Magic Mouse box and found the answer in 3 grey dots on white type: requires OS 10,11 or higher.  All right.  Mea culpa, caveat emptor, blah blah.  I should have read through the entire page of the Magic Mouse on the Apple Store Web site, but I already have the product so don't figure there were many new take into account.

    However, it seems strange to me that a completely necessary peripherals does not work with a BONE from a few years ago.

    There are loyal customers (30 years of computer science and I have never used or owned a PC) who use your products as professional (I'm a sales manager of creation) and, for reasons that go beyond taste, prefer your earlier and faster OS.  Apple wants to move the herd along for many understandable reasons.  I do advertising.  I get it.  Offers new features and the "improvements" that Miss on users who refuse to put up-to-date is perfectly logical.  But prevents them from having a functional Apple mouse goes too far.  It will encourage strong armament and it stinks.

    In light of Apple's strategy, it seems pretty ironic that the same company that once derided the PC world as thinkers authoritarian group straight out of Orwell is curve at this level to get its users to conform to his version of the future.  What the * happened to "Think Different"?

    Good question, I guess, and I can only opine; as you know, we are here just volunteers.

    The question is... when a company changes its products.   As I see it, different operating systems have developed over the years at a huge pace, such that cannot not could be foreseen four years ago.   So the Magic Mouse 1 was fine for the moment but did not have the ability to adapt to meet the current needs.     So what does Apple?   It must be a new mouse that will respond to current needs and anticipate the needs for some time in the future.

    You can still buy the old MM1, although you might have to go hunting.   And of course, you can take the old one back if it was purchased less than 14 days ago in most countries and 28 days ago in the United Kingdom and most European countries, I believe.

    I hope you get over your troubles.
