Hi.

I got Mavericks Update 9.1 up and going, with sound, no problem.

All I did was initiate Itunes, and convert some mp3s and such into Itunes... then..

I get stuck at startup. The timer just goes for 5-8 minutes or so and just shuts down.

WTF

please help

Boot "-v" and post a quality photo of the entire screen.

What version of OS X did you update from? Did you follow the guide?
 
I originally had Mavericks 10.9. All was working well.

I then installed the Mavericks update 10.9.1.

All seemed to work well, and had used probook intaller to get sound up and running.

However, I did not follow any other guidance with upgrading to 10.9.1.

Here are several pictures of the "-v" startup...

It looks like your OS X volume is damaged. Try repair in Disk Utility from the OS X installer.
 
I tried repair.

I am still stuck at the start up and the disk doesn't seem to repair.

All I did was upgrade to 10.9.1.

Everything was working.

How would the disk have been corrupted I don't understand?

Looks like you get to do a fresh install.
 
Rehab Man,

I appreciate your attention to this, I'd like to avoid the same thing in the future. Also, I had some files I would like to restore. Is there a method of backing up my desktop files or the programs I was using before I reinstall?

Is there any other alternative, or answer to what might have happened between the 10.9 and 10.91 update?

Any permissions protocols I need to go through that might get my computer up and running again?

How did the disk get messed up, I don't understand?

Backups are something you do *before* a failure. But you could perhaps hook that HDD via USB/SATA adapter to another working system and salvage what you can (if the volume can be mounted).

Is there any other alternative, or answer to what might have happened between the 10.9 and 10.91 update?

There are third party data recovery programs... I've never used them (I keep regular backups).

Not sure what happened. But glitches in file systems are not unheard of, which is one reason we backup our files. The other reason is, of course, hardware/HDD failure.

Any permissions protocols I need to go through that might get my computer up and running again?

Just wipe the whole thing out after salvaging what you can, and do a fresh install following the guide.

Disasters happen. The key is preparing for them.
