guruuno1 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I had the EXACT same problem on my wife's MacBook, AND my iMac. After waiting an hour, and nothing happening, I powered down, booted off the Leopard DVD, did a Disk Repair from the pulldown menu, after it repaired, it worked, both machines. Both were upgrades, not fresh install. I assume we will find out tomorrow if we all were gineau pigs or if Apple will have a ton of support calls.........

Cutwolf Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I fixed it by reinstalling it but selecting "Archive and Install" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceBR Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I fixed it by reinstalling it but selecting "Archive and Install" Cutwolf I have installed it as upgrade. So where exactly would I find this option? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutwolf Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 It's in one of the "options" things prior to actually starting the install. Don't remember exactly which screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceBR Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thx for the advice Cutwolf but i dont wanna go that way, I want a simple upgrade. I`ll post later the -v results, just when i get a decebt camera. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jallawalla Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Same problem here. Imac 2.0 20inch first edition. blue screen, can't get the dvd out (even when holding down mouse button on boot), can't do an install and archive install as I don't have enough hd space left and I can't get in to move stuff - catch 22. I will try the repair disk tip tonight when I go home. Reasons (guesses) why it may have gone wrong for me: 1. hard disk space - only had 11gb free 2. left all my usb/firewire stuff plugged in 3. I used the install disk off usenet - although I assume everyone else is on the same image Any solution to this much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimptastic Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Lots of other users having the same issues http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?m...5644170#5644170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingistech Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Engadget posted a "We've got Leopard, what do you wanna know?" story on their site... and this was my first question. They've confirmed it too.... 9A581 is the actual retail build. http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/weve-go...u-want-to-know/ I know this is important for anyone that installed it and wants to get updates through the OS.

AceBR Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Let me explain how did I proceed. Started installation from Tiger as an upgrade. Rebooted, waited for the DVD checksum (which was correct) and proceeded with installation It went smooth, I have the logs saved in the computer bu I cant access it right now since its not booting. So after it rebooted for the first time I got stuck at the blue window right before login window. It has a mouse pointer, and bluetooth mouse works. Safe mode sticks at the same screen. Single user mode works. I cant post verbose mode output anymore because I think I've rebooted so much that the system got broken. Now it doesnt even get to the blue screen anymore. I have a video though, barely readable. I'll reinstall leopard still as an upgrade and see what happens. I'm not sure what the archive mode means, if I lose my installed apps and things like that, so if someone could point it out that'd be great. By the way, I think that this blue screen issue has something to do with uncompatible applications, probably parallels or Missing Sync 4WM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceBR Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Ok so now I'm back to the blue screen. Here's the verbose output. I missed the very end when it says something like: Starting login window Starting mDNSResponder both successful Any ideas? IMG1 IMG2 IMG3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicchamber Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 As my case, Archive and Install works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiekiduk Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Do not resort to archive install This problem appears to be an unfortunate incompatibility with ShapeShifter software you might have installed. Do this and it fixes it (worked for me) 1. Reboot into single-user mode (hold Cmd-S while booting machine) 2. Follow the directions OSX gives you when you get to the prompt (I think these were them - just type the two commands it tells you to): fsck -fy / /sbin/mount -uw / 3. Remove the following files: rm -rf /Library/Preference Panes/Application Enhancer.prefpane rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Application Enhancer.framework rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Application Enhancer.bundle rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.unsanity.ape.plist 4. Exit, to continue booting normally exit (If these files don't exist then you might have an incompatibility with something other software you have installed) BE VERY CAREFUL ENTERING THESE COMMANDS, IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE AND DELETE THE LIBRARY OR SYSTEM FOLDERS BY ACCIDENT YOU MAY NEED TO DO THE UPGRADE AGAIN.
