13" 2006 Macbook startup issues after installing new software

Okay, so I get the gray screen flashing between with the circle and the line going through it and the folder with a question mark. I press command + s when attempting to start up my computer and I get this message:
efiboot loaded from device: Acpi (PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1FI2)/Ata(Primary,Slave)/HD (Part

Could not open file 'mach_kernel'
Error loading kernel 'mach_kernel' (0x8000000e)
Can anyone help me?! Or is this the end of my 8 year relationship with my Macbook

Its kernel couldn't be loaded. This means that you have to reinstall Mac OS X.
If you have the OS X DVD, insert it, hold the C key while your Mac is starting and reinstall Mac OS X. Finally, run Software Update and install the latest version

  • ITunes.  After installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    iTunes.  After backing iPod to computer and installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    You can restore your iPod to "New" which will erase every thing and install fresh iOS software or you can restore to a particular backup that you have previously created. In this case, your iPod Apps & data will appear as per the backup. Note that some content is not in a backup and will need to be synced back to the iPad from the iTunes music library or from, for example, the iPhoto photo library.

  • Startup problems after instaling new graphics card drivers

    PC:    HP   p6520 f    with a 400 watt power supply
    video card:    AMD Radeon 6570   (MD1GD3)
    After getting the 400 watt power supply, I was able to uninstall the intergrated graphics card's drivers, but I can't succsesfully startup after installing drivers for the new card without a system restore, which of course gets rid of the new drivers.
    I've tried newer drivers, but those don't work either.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Sev_07.  I understand you're unable to install your video card drivers.
    Are you receiving an error on boot?  
    Are you experiencing any issues with other pieces of hardware?
    Have you tried running HP Support Assistant and Windows Update to ensure all of the software and drivers are completely up to date?
    It may also be helpful for you to provide your product number so I can look at your computer's specifications.  This document can show you where this is located.

  • 2008 macbook pro beeps after installing new hard drive

    I install a new hard drive in a 2008 macbook pro and it just beeps. three quick beeps repeatedly. I cloned the new drive from my 2011 macbook pro
    Is anybody experience this same problem? please help
    thank you

    You can't reliably use the clone from one Mac on another Mac of a different vintage.  Boot off an external hard drive after installing the operating system from Apple or the original discs on the external hard drive, and use the migration assistent to import data from the internal hard drive.  You'll want to make sure the copy on the external hard drive does not excede the internal hard drive capacity by more than 85% before cloning and overwriting its contents.

  • My macbook pro 10.6.8 don't have enough space in startup disc to install new software. how to fix that?

    I can't install newer itune software 'cause it says my macbook pro doesn't have enough disc space. How I can manage more space there? Tried to emty trash can and deleted many pictures from iphoto.
    Please help!

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • Troubles with Ipod after installing new software

    After installing the new software on my Ipod Mini 4GB, it won't charge, or at least, it sais it won't.
    I have a USB power adapter, and I charged my Ipod all night. This morning, I STILL got this
    http://www.sharksdiest.com/stephane/ipod.jpg ...
    I already tried to reset the Ipod several times...I tried to connect it to my PC (Windows XP), but also that didn't work, so I can't install other software.
    Does anybody thinks he/she has a solution? Should I go to the store (I already send them an e-mail several minutes ago). Or is my Ipod dead, and should I buy a new one?
    Thx for your help

    Usually this is because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try again in 20 minutes or so.

  • Dell Laptop Internet issue after installing HP software for the C309a

    We have a wireless network and I have the software and drivers for the C309a successfully installed on my Gateway (Vista) laptop without issue.  After installing all the drivers and software on my wife's Dell Inspiron 1525 (Vista) for  the printer, the laptop struggles to connect to the internet through the wireless router.  Any web site that is a https takes several attempts to log onto, others will connect after a refressh.  The HP Cue is also crashing and closing.  I uninstalled the HP software and the connection was back to being normal with no difficulty connecting to the net.  I re-installed the HP software and the same thing is occurring (even the HP Cue crashing) where you can not get on her AOL mail or even Facebook unless making several attempts (and even then no gurantee it will let you on).  I uninstalled the HP software and all is well again with the internet connection.  I have not installed the latest version of the HP drivers and software as this is version 12 and I see that version 13 is avalable.  Was this an issue in the past and does version 13 fix this or do I have another issue?
    Thank you for the advice.....
    Mike

    Some of the HP software creates a lot of network traffic.  It can overwhelm some routers.  What kind of router and ISP do you use?
    Download 13 from here but do not subscribe to the Customer Participation Program (it creates a lot of traffic).

  • Monitor issues after installing ipod software

    After I loaded the ipod nano software I began having problems with one of my monitors(I have two connected to one computer). It now will shut down periodically and show that there is no signal. Other times it will display but the display will be jerky and off center.
    Any suggestions to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    Not sure if this will actually solve you problem, but...
    there's no need to order a new software CD.
    You can download all of the necessary iPod software from Apple's website. In fact, this is often preferred over using the CD, since the website will have the latest versions, while the shipping CD might be slightly out of date.
    Here's some links to download the software:
    iTunes 6
    iPod Updater
    EDIT: Just realized I might be giving some pretty bad advice since your computer won't boot. Obviously my suggestion will only work if you have a bootable machine with Internet access.
    My apologies.
    Perhaps if there is an Apple store nearby, you can ask the folks there to put the software on CD for you. Even still, this might be a moot point since you don't have a working computer. You might want to reach out to Dell and get your system in a functional state before proceeding with the iTunes/iPod setup.

  • Another volume control problem after installing new software

    I'm having a different volume control problem than the previous poster.
    When I turn my ipod touch on, the volume control stays on the screen. I can't do anything to get rid of it. When I go into settings/sounds, the control goes away on the screen, but it will not let me turn the volume up. When I try to listen to music through my headphones, I can turn the volume up but then it automatically turns itself down. The same thing happens when I try to turn the volume up from the side control. It worked fine this morning before I installed the new software and now it's acting buggy. Any ideas on how to fix this?

  • Macbook Pro freezes after installing new 4GB of Ram

    So I have a 15" macbook pro (2.4Ghz) that I've had for a few months. It's been pretty good so far, but I've been using it for Ram-intensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as Logic. I only had the 2GB of Ram that it came with, and I was noticing some latency. So I did what everyone recommended and upgraded the Ram to 4GB. I purchased some at my local computer shop (s598: Super Talent 4GB SODIMM DDR3 1066Mhz) I just posted the exact numbers posted on the packaging for this item. I know I need DDR3 1066Mhz, but I'm not sure what the S598 stands for.......
    Anyhow, I just installed this today. And it seems that the system doesn't get bogged down AS much. But my laptop has COMPLETELY frozen up twice within a couple hours and I've had to force shutdown the machine... Is this the RAM causing this?? Would anyone know if installing this Ram can be problematic? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    All of the new unibody MBs/MBPs can use (6GB 4X2GB)
    But yes you should definitely make sure the RAM is seated correctly and you didn't touch the gold part of the RAM during installation. Though if something was seriously wrong it would have made loud obnoxious sounds while you tried to start up.
    Aside from Installation issues, you should reset the PRAM as noted previously. Hold down command-option-p-r at startup until it chimes twice.
    OP, looking at Super Talent's website they don't even have 1066MHz chips listed in their DDR3 chips. All I see is a jump from 800MHz (DDR2) to 1333MHz (DDR3).
    Either way, I can't imagine you got that great a deal for the RAM that even if it is seemingly the correct RAM you can get better deals in the links I posted in my other post.

  • Issues after installing new router

    I recently updated a router for my home-business...E3000, I don't have any issues installing it-2 desktops and 3 laptops however, my old router was also running a surveillance camera,  WVC200 and I have lost the image. When I run it with an Ethernet cable I'm able to see the image and it works(the camera)but when I tried to run it wireless, doesn't work at all, the camera is not recognizing the router or better yet, the ROUTER does not recognizes the camera.I trouble shoot it with Cisco technicians(the router) and the conclusion is that it is working properly, but they don't have any one that knows how to trouble shoot the camera or how to CONFIGURE IT so will work wireless with the router.ANY SOLUTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
    Oscar.

    Hello---Your E3000 Router is a Consumer based router so it is supported by the Cisco Consumer Support Center. Your WVC200 camera is a Cisco Small Business device and is supported by our Cisco Small Business Support Center. For support on your camera you would have to call our Small Business Suppotr Center at 1-866-606-1866. Now to your problem. Your camera most likely still has the wireless settings from your old router. You will need to
    access the interface of the camera and put in your new wireless settings from your new E3000 Router.  The camera has to have the same wireless settings as your new E3000 Router (same SSID,Security type). After you have the new settings in the camera you will need to disconnect the ethernet cable from the camera and then power cycle the camera and the wireless should engage on the camera. If you need assistance with this please give us a
    call at our Cisco Small Business Support Center. 1-866-606-1866.
