Intel Mac :: No OS Installed, S.M.A.R.T "Failing", No Backup?
Mar 19, 2012
I have an Imac '07, its not got any os installed. well i formated the drive because it had came up with an error "smart failing" and now I can't install any OS because internal hardrive is failing. I couldnt back up using time machine because there was problems with privileges, but did manage to back up my main files to an external drive. I have OS X LION backed up on a BOOTABLE DVD because the os was running on OS X LION BEFORE THIS FAILING SIGN APPEARED. I was woundering if there was any terminal commands to sort it out?And also would I by any chance be able to add another partition to an external hardrive without erasing it? if so, how?
Info:
iMac (20-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

my built-in iSight has failed very often during Skype video calls. More specifically, let's say I'm in a video call and I'm showing my webcam to the other person. It works for many minutes, and then I pause the call. As soon as I pause it, I get a message saying something like "no video camera detected, make sure it's plugged in", and from then on my system acts as if there were no iSight installed even if I un-pause the call.If I then go to any other application that makes use of iSight, like Photo Booth for example, it says that there is no camera installed on the system, with a crossed-out camera icon and a black screen in place of the video.

I use time machine to back up my data to a 300 Gb external iomega disk that I purchased back in 2006. Yesterday, Time Machine could not complete a backup and returned a 'Could not create the backup folder' error. I ran disk utilities and it returned a host of errors, ending with the message that the disk is corrupt, could not be repaired and I had to back up my data immediately. The data on the disk was however, still accessible.

My Time Machine backup is failing... and I'm a little confused as to why. I thought it was supposed to just write over the old backups? Here's a breakdown of what I have going on...
-I have two x 1TB WD MyBook's.
-I'm using one of them as storage, and the other one as my Time Machine drive. So essentially I'm doing a poor man's RAID. I just want to make sure I have a backup of my data in case the drive dies... and it's too big to back up to a cloud.
-The main drive is about half full (Available: 460.49GB)
-The Time Machine drive shows 485.48GB available. Close enough I suppose.
The backup is failing with the attached message. Yes, I added more stuff to the drive today (hence the increase in backup size), but why would it need that size all over again? Why wouldn't it just append the exsisting 485GB, and add the new 158GB. Come to think of it, there's no way what I added today increased the size 158GB, so that's strange in itself.

I have been having some problems recently with my 06 mac mini that i got in august time its the intel one with GMA950 and a superdrive (i think!) lol its the mashita UJ-846 one. Thats what system profiler says at least lol. :-)
Anyways enough about that, for a while now, it wont accept DVDs or CDs in the drive. I have tried to boot off the install DVD and do hardware test, but the DVD ejected. and it just booted straight into the OS..
Is it time to get a new DVD drive? i got a lacie D2 a coupla years back to help with burning DVDs, cos it wouldnt burn DVDs neither, whether thats cos its the superdrive or cos it was failing, i dont know. At the time i searched about and it seemed like it was a DVD drive that was prone to failing on people.Is there anything i can do to test, n see how busted this bad boy actually is??
Its not essential that i need it working as i use the other DVD drive when required. But if i did want to install SL on it, that could be a bit problematic..

I have bootcamp installed on my iMac. Do I need to purchase Parallels to run Windows on my Mac? And if I do buy and run Parallels is windows included in that package? Or is my most cost effective option to buy Windows 7 and install it via BootCamp?

My old iMac recently blacked out and does not work and lost all pictures. My iPad has all the pictures including the ones from my personal camera. The iPad is backed up to iCloud but not sure if it included the camera pictures. Were those pictures from my camera ever backed up and is it possible to get it back installed into a new computer?

I recently installed a new hard drive in my MBP Intel, early 2008 edition. I followed the instructions from: [URL] a-MacBook-ProEverything works fine after I put in the new drive except for the Sims 2. Whenever I try to run it, it says the application quit unexpectedly and I can choose to Ignore, Report to Apple, or Relaunch, but no matter what I do I can't get it started. If i boot my laptop off my old hard drive and try running it, it works perfect. I've tried reinstalling the game, fixing permissions on my new hard drive, and booting the sims off my old hard drive through an external inclosure.

After installing the latest updates for Java to both 10.7.3 and 10.6.8 the MRTAgent or other files ( /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.mrt.uiagent.plist and /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mrt.plist did not seem to install. I have installed both through Software Update and also through the stand alone downloads. Various sites have said the above should have installed and there is no evidence on my machine.

I bought a refurb iMac directly from apple 2 years ago. It already came with Adobe Photoshop as well as many others. I didn't start using the photoshop until recently. Yesterday, I logged on, and asked me for a serial number. Where would I find this or how do I obtain this since it came with the iMac?
