Diskwarrior 4.2 manual3/15/2023 ![]() ![]() When it rebooted, it asked about migrating my info from the original drive (in bay 2 of my MacPro). I wasn't paying too close attention to the time but I think it took about 45 minutes±. ![]() Last night I took the new HD drive I with a clone of the existing OS and wiped it and then reinstalled SL. FCP timeline still hesitated each time I selected a new camera angle (and there are only TWO!) ![]() There was no change in behavior (where's Super Nanny when you need her!). It got to the point where I think my MacBook pro was running FCP faster.ĭespite Apple suggesting I erase and reinstall first, I DID take my SL disc and reinstalled the the OS over the existing setup as you suggest in the post on your site. I did NOT know about ONYX and will make sure that is in my utility kit moving forward.īTW, while FCP did not take too long to load, it seemed a bit sluggish when executing commands like "save". Tomorrow will be a Snow (Leopard) day where I will be spending the day reinstalling apps and migrating files. As I write this (on my laptop) I am putting SL back on my machine. They suggested that I wipe my drive and reinstall the OS and start from scratch. I trashed my FCP prefs, ran Disk Warrior and a few other utilities and even spent time on the phone with Apple tech support. I am running an 8 core 2.8 GHz system with 16GB of ram and a G-Tech raid drive so hardware capability should be fine. I posted a query yesterday about issues I am having with a multicam edit (just two angles in this case) where the timeline pauses each time I switch angles and I get the "Dropped Frames" warning. Nigels advice about Onyx is spot-on, but run that utility AFTER you get your directory fixed-up.Įven prior to 10.6.4, my system has been behaving oddly. Download and run DW (if you don't already own a copy) and I'm sure your slow-running system will be right as rain after. And if that code is wonky at all those previously underlying issues come to the surface in the form of slow response, spinning color-wheels of death and even full-on lock ups.Īs I always advise those who make OS updates of any kind *always* make a backup of your OS, either with Carbon Copy Cloner or the manual method described in my sticky about saving your OS.Īlso, DiskWarrior is a *must-have* for any Mac user consider it as important as the keys to your house. If your OS hasn't ever had it's directory "fixed" or optimized by DiskWarrior then often what happens is that after the OS update the weaknesses in the directory become front-and-center because the update has forced a refresh of base code. ![]() Please note that you will receive a DVD even if your previous DiskWarrior disc was a CD.Although it may not seem like it should, OS updates have a way of immediately showcasing a weak OS directory. If you need a new DiskWarrior disc that can start up the newest Mac models, please contact our Sales Department to order. Your new disc will not start up any Mac that your current DiskWarrior disc can not. Please note that the new startup disc you create will start up the same set of Mac models as your current DiskWarrior disc (CD/DVD). It also results in a significantly smaller test suite that permits us to issue updates more responsively. This limitation allows us to reduce the size and complexity of the updater. You must update your original (factory) DiskWarrior 4.0 or 4.1 disc. The DiskWarrior 4.2 Disc updater cannot update a disc created by any previous DiskWarrior updater. This approach provides you with an instant update while maintaining your ability to start up from a disc containing the latest version of DiskWarrior. This free updater application allows you to create a new startup disc (CD/DVD) with the latest version of DiskWarrior using your original DiskWarrior 4.0 or 4.1 disc. Owners of DiskWarrior 4 versions 4.0-4.1.1 can now download a free disc updater to update to DiskWarrior 4 version 4.2. ![]()
