Re: MacBook issues

Thanks Ronni and Daniel (yet again). I have followed your advice (as below) Ronni and repaired permissions and the disk. There didn't appear to be much wrong. Curiously when I senected the 10.8.4 disk to restart I got the message: "You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk. Buildin

Another thought if Repair Disk Permissions & Repair Disk and if Console hasn't shown you what is causing the error. Try booting the system to Safe Mode by holding the Shift key at startup. This mode will clear some caches and perform other rudimentary maintenance tasks, and also disable nonesse

Re: MacBook issues

1. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions 2. Then boot into Recovery and 'Repair the Disk' with Disk Utility. Then, try to install the Combo Update. Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 27/06/2013, at 11:48 AM, Reg Whitely wrote: > Hi all > > I've just installed the 10.8.4 combo and ag

Re: MacBook issues

Hi Reg It would be interesting to see if it does it on a clean install. (but it depends how much "work" you want to do on it. There may be a clue in Console as to what is happening as well, as they can sometimes say where it is falling over. If it did it on a clean install of just the OS and non

Re: MacBook Pro 2013 Retina Disk Warrior compatibility

I'm sorry Ronni but in no way was I questioning either of you. Perhaps in hindsight I could have posted the Alsoft response to Daniel off-list, or ignored it altogether, but I posted it to provide evidence of their response to my query, as both of you concurred they probably would say it was OK

Re: MacBook Pro 2013 Retina Disk Warrior compatibility

No worries Reg. I get a little protective with comments like that directed at myself (or my business), which I've worked hard to build up for the last 12 years,…… I certainly would be the first to admit I don't know everything…there's always something more to learn. But I don't tend to make comm

Re: MacBook Pro 2013 Retina Disk Warrior compatibility

Daniel,You just beat me to replying, I'm much slower at typing than you. I also am insulted and feeling rather disappointed with Reg. Reg asked for our advice, we gave him our advice saying DiskWarrior was not needed for SSD drives, and gave details why. Reg could either take our advice or go ahea

Re: MacBook Pro 2013 Retina Disk Warrior compatibility

Thanks Daniel. I certainly was not questioning you or what you have said, and appreciate your professional comment. Your response makes sense to me. It does show how someone can mis-interpret written text, or intentionally sidetrack a discussion or commentary. Perhaps he should be in politics.

First off, I don't' really want to keep dragging this on,… but given the crap comment from that person that "whoever,…has no idea what they are talking about"… a) has taken out of context what I was referring to and "Trying to put into "easy english" rather then being technical on a forum/mailin

Re: MacBook issues

Hi all I've just installed the 10.8.4 combo and again "still" receive the message "The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance'". When I restarted the computer 10.8.4 has indeed been installed

Re: MacBook issues

Thanks Daniel and Ronni As an update, I've followed your advice, made a bootable backup using CCCloner, backed up to Time Machine, erased the SSD, reinstalled OS X from Recovery via a net download, and then restored apps and data from Time Machine. All seems Ok at this time. It wasn't quite as

Re: MacBook Pro 2013 Retina Disk Warrior compatibility

Hi Reg As Ronni has mentioned, Alsoft will most likely come back and say that yes it's fine with SSD's. Which in theory it may be, but in practice there's really no need. Sure it "may" run fine with the drive and appear to do something, but beneath the surface it's really not doing that much.

Re: MacBook issues

Hi Reg Depending on type of issues, then sometimes it can be fine to migrate everything and see how it goes. Though sometimes if you don't want to do it all a second time I find it's easier just to migrate just the user data and then manually install all the Applications again. It takes longer
