Software :: Problem Startup - No Room To Install OS X?

Aug 25, 2008

So this is the problem:

My OS X 10.4.11 is not starting up on my Powermac G5. When I boot up I get a message telling me to reboot my system 'kernal panic: We are hanging here..'

I'm pretty sure I deleted a necessary file.

I am trying to install OS X again using archive and install because I do not want to lose the data I have (my music & more) but the problem is I didn't leave enough room to install OS X, even with just the basic install. I have an external harddrive hooked up and I need to somehow transfer some info to that harddrive to leave the space to install or throw some files in the trash to leave enough room. I would like to know if this is possible. I can't boot up in safe mode.

OS X :: Time Machine Don't Delete Older Backups To Make Room For New Backup?

Dec 3, 2008

i have a macbook with an internal drive of which about 230gb if full and used.

I have a 250gb external which i have been using to back up with time machine, done it several times over a few months.

Now there is like 70gb left on the external, and when i try to back up, it says failed, not enough space on external.

But i thought when there is not enough space, it simply deletes and backs over older time machine backups.

Maybe if they put the speakers on the display wouldn't they have more room to be able to put a full sized keyboard? Or would it make the display thicker?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Make Boot Disc Without Installer?

Mar 15, 2012

I'm trying to make an OS X Lion boot disc. A failed Windows 8 Bootcamp install killed my Mac, but luckily I had a Time Machine backup which was accessible via the Recovery Disk. However, I would still like to have a boot disc handy in case something like this happens again and the Recovery Disk is somehow corrupted. 

I Googled(among other things) how to make one, and the instructions seem fairly simple. Only, I can't find a Mac OS X Lion Installer anywhere. When I bought my refurbished iMac from Apple, OS X Lion was already on it. Since I didn't download it from the App Store it seems I don't have the Lion Installer to make a boot disc... Anything I can do (besides wasting $30 to redownload Lion from the App Store for the file) ?

OS X :: Startup From Disc?

Oct 3, 2010

Onyx tells me to use disc utility to repair my hard drive.

To do this, I need first to start up from the install disc (CD).

It's been so long since I've had to do this that I've forgotten--

I go to System Preferences and choose the CD as startup disc, but then it wants to re-install the OS-- not what I want!

I seem to remember I need to hold down some key or other while it's starting up-- but which?

I promise to write down the answer so I won't have to ask again

OS X :: Leopard Won't Boot Not Find Startup Disc?

Jan 1, 2009

I need your help please. It all started when I was trying to install Windows XP under Boot Camp on my Macbook Pro (Leopard). I followed the manual and made the partition for Windows (32GB), but when I inserted Windows XP Install CD and had to choose partition to install it on, there was just one that seemed to be my Leopard startup disc (it had some 120GB). I did not know what to do, so I just left the installation process and the notebook restarted. When it loaded, it was trying to boot from the Windows CD so I tried to install it, but same problem appeared -> restart. I tried to load Leopard by holding Option key while loading, but only options for windows and windows cd appeared, no Leopard -> Shut down. While booting, I force-ejected the CD by holding down trackpad button -> blinking underscore on black screen appeared. I shut the MBP down by holding power button and inserted Leopard Install CD. When it loaded, I booted from the CD by holding Option key. This time I was ready to even re-install Leopard just to make it work but when I had to chose the harddisk to install Leopard on, there was none. It seems to me that somehow nobody can see the harddisk and I have no idea what to do with it.

OS X :: Change Startup Disc In Leopard To Boot From DVD

Jul 21, 2009

I am having troubles booting from the Mac OS X Install Disc by holding down the "c" key at startup. Can I change the startup disc in Leopard to the DVD and then change it back to Macintosh HD after I am done doing what I need to do with the disc (no, not a reinstall of the OS). Is this possible? Will it work?

MacBook Pro Wont Recognize A Startup Disc

Mar 25, 2012

So I tried to restore my MacBook Pro from the Disc Utility and now that it had completed restoring and erasing the old data opff the HDD, my MBP doesnt even recognize that there is a HD in it!  I tried to select the HDD using the "hold OPTION key at startup" ordeal and shows absolutely no drive what so ever, even though I restored it from a backup HDD. Before it would show just a loading Apple gray screen and go nowhere, but i was still able to 'see' the drive with the OPTIONS key startup. Now when I do the selectable drive startup it shows NOTHING but a blank folder, with a question mar, flashing on the screen.

Windows On Mac :: Bootcamp Partition Gone From Startup Disc Panel?

Oct 3, 2010

As title says. I can no longer hold option to boot into bootcamp (fairly old issue - I tihnk it's my keyboard), so I just use startup disc preference pane. Today, Windows does not show up. I downloaded bootchamp and it also gave me an error when trying to restart....any ideas at all? I can't do anything with the bootcamp partition in the disc utility.

EDIT: Opening the bootcamp assistant gives me :""Boot Camp Assistant cannot be used: You must update your computer's boot ROM firmware before using this setup assistant".

Note I was in win7 earlier today without issue....

OS X :: Running Out Of Space On Startup Disc - Recovered On Reboot?

May 28, 2009

On my Macbook Pro (Tiger) I suddenly got an error message about running out of space on the start up disc (woking on a word 2008 document). Checking suggested I had only 124MB left.

A couple of days earlier I had 60gb free. Deleting a few gb of programs reduced the space to zero!

I couldn't work out were the space was being used but as most programs were now refusing to work. I just shut down.

On switching back on, the HD space had come back and I had my 60gb of free space back.

whether its a sign of a problem I should try and sort out, or is it just "one of those things".
