Bluetooth problems in single user mode

I've already checked some of the discussions on this topic but did not find the answers that i am looking for. i need to get into single user mode because my computer will not completely boot the osx. however, after i hold down the command-s and the promt comes up, it is af if i have no keyboard at all. i cannot type anything. is this due to the fact that i have a bluetooth keyboard? would going out and purchasing a usb help me out (because i have read some posts that they have the same problem with a usb)? is there any way around this. single user is becoming one of my last alternatives to having to reformat. please help!

A wireless bluetooth keyboard would only let you boot into Single User Mode, after that, you will need a regular USB keyboard to type in the prompts, same goes when doing a Hardware Test using the disc provided.
As for some users posted on this forum saying they have not able to continue the Single User Mode under a regular USB keyboard, I am afraid I am one of them... I have not been able to solve the problem as yet and it is kinda "annoying" that there "may be something wrong" with my iMac that I cannot perform fsck, nevertheless I have regularly booted from the OS disc and run Disk Utility, which is equivilent to booting to SUM, but supposingly much better, and my HD checks out fine... so at the moment I have no worries.
In my post there is another person who has regularly keeping me update about this problem and has deduced it maybe due to the internal bluetooth module and the USB inside... rather complex issue that may require me lengthy conversation with AppleCare or have something replace, or "worse" have my iMac sent away for a time for repair or replacement. Since my iMac is doing quite fine, I'll live with it for the moment...
Cheers

  • Problem in single-user mode

    I've been having trouble with my ibook g4 lately; it won't fully boot and if it does (which is rare) it will suddenly freeze. I can still move the mouse, but the programs stop. I cannot enter safe mode (whenever I hold down shift for a certain period of time the computer turns off completely) and when I go into Single-User Mode this is what I get:
    USBF: 21.984 OHCIDriver: OHCIRootHubPortPower bit not sticking (0)
    USBF:22.807 [0x162a400] the IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate device
    jnl: replay_journal: bad block list header @ 0x6e4000 (checksum 0x0 !=ffffffff)
    jnl: journal_open error replaying journal!
    hfs: early jnl init: failed to open/create the journal (retval 0)
    also: singleuser boot -fsck not done root device is mounted read only
    when I run fsck: **checking catalog file.
    Invalid record count
    (4, 12)
    **volume check failed
    Alright, I don't expect to know what all of this means, but was wondering if anyone knows what it might indicate and any solutions. Thanks in advance for any advice. And again, I cannot seem to boot in safe mode.

    An "Invalid record count" means you have some file directory damage. The file directory is the file that tells your Mac where all the various files on the hard drive are physically stored. These errors could be what's causing the messages you're seeing in the command line.
    You may not be able to repair a problem like this with fsck in single user mode or with the Disk Utility on your Mac OS X install disk. But starting up from your install disk would probably be the next step to troubleshooting. Put your install disk in the iBook, restart and hold down on the "c" key. The installer will startup and ask you to select a language. Then, instead of continuing to install, if you have a Mac OS X 10.3 disk, choose to open the Disk Utility from the Installer menu or, if you have a Mac OS X 10.4 disk, choose to open the Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard drive and click "repair disk" on the right-hand side. Hopefully it can repair the problem. When you're done, you can quit the Disk Utility and then quit the Installer to restart back to your hard drive.
    If the Disk Utility cannot repair the trouble, then you might need a more sophisticated tool like to repair your drive.

  • Bluetooth errors (hundreds) in single-user mode

    Never had this in Tiger or Panther but...
    When starting in single-user mode I get hundreds of USB Bluetooth errors.
    Also all too often (approx. every other day) when rebooting I loose use of my Bluetooth Apple keyboard and have to use Leopard Cache Cleaner to clean the user and system caches... after which the keyboard is once again functional.
    Even though */sbin/fsck -fy* gives the system an okay after the hundreds of errors... I can restart and again get the same errors.
    Here is an image of what it looks like (a little blurry but if you're familiar with such errors perhaps you'll recognize them). If necessary I'll take another photo of the screen and post it.

    Thanks for any advice on how to get rid of these errors once-and-for-all.

  • Starting up in single-user mode problem

    I'm trying to start up in single user mode using the Apple article. I ran fsck and everything checked out fine but when I type /sbin/mount -uw / I just get another prompt(#). I want to restore defaults because the users pane is blank. Iv'e tried trashing prefs,ect with no change. I'm sure i'm typing it in correctly. Any suggestions wil be appreciated.
    iMac G5 1.8 17   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I'm working with an iBook 600 OSX 10.4.3 that had a problem with a dialog box constantly coming up asking for the keychain password which had no password and you could just cancel out of it. I deleted some keychain user info and that's when the accounts pane became an empty window. So I'm going to use the Terminal to restore from defaults. I'm assuming that I won't loose any data doing this. It looks like my only option other than a wipe of the hard drive.

  • Macbook shuts off during start-up - can't get through safe-mode, single user mode (fsck -fy) and target-drive shows no problems when running disk utility repair

    Hi everyone,
    I'm simply all out of ideas on what to do - my best guess is the problem is not specifically hard-drive related since all the 'normal' fixes just won't work.
    What could be the cause of my issue? The only way i've managed to keep the Macbook Pro on for longer than a minute is through target drive, where it seems to work just fine - i can access everything. To sum up everything:
    1 - I tried resetting the PRAM
    2 - I tried to go in to safe mode, it shut off before i could type the password
    3 - I tried fsck -fy command from single user mode, sometimes i can get to actually typing it but mostly it shuts off before
    4 - I tried to repair disk via target drive - success, no problems detected (and it didnt fix my issue)
    5 - I reinstalled OS Mavericks.
    The Macbook Pro previously had some problems with the power-button not working properly (a mac-cunning friend of mine had to open up the mac and start it by swiping to metal pins on a specific (battery/power?) part inside it. The problem kinda went away afterwards but it might be related to this?
    This is way off my comfort zone of 'diagnosing' issues, so I'm crossing fingers for some good advice.
    Thanks,
    Aske

    I think you're right.
    If it's hardware related, is it possible to guess at what it might be? It would be nice to know how much I should expect to pay for a repair before actually getting it fixed.

  • G5 freezing - no problems with ASD - crashing also in single-user-mode

    Hello,
    I have a PowerMac7,1 with MacOS X Server 10.5.8, which today started freezing and restarting.
    After the system froze, sometimes it restarts automatically, or I have to manually reboot it with the power button. In both cases the restart also froze!
    The only way to start the system is the clean the PRAM, but after a while it is crashing again!
    I managed to run the full ASD 2.5.7 test without error for a few hours (then I stopped), and with the install DVD I also managed to run the system repair (there was nothing to repair).
    Both from the system and from the install DVD I cannot run the repair permissions (it freezes!). So I tried to execute "fsck -fy" from the single-user-mode, but the computer froze again!
    Is there something else I can try?
    Thanks a lot!

    Two things: DiskWarrior. New HD.
    It seems that the crashes are coming into play when the HD is in the game in a meaningful sense, which isn't the case with the install disk or ASD, unless you are trying to do something like disk repair or permissions repair from the install disk. What's interesting is that you can boot into single-user mode, but when you invoke fsck, you crash, whereas disk repair from the install disk, which in essence fsck, runs and reports no errors.
    You can also try a safe boot and see how things run there. If you can do that, I would suggest running AppleJack on the system, if you can.
    Finally, it's possible that NVRAM has gotten corrupted (a possibility but not a high possibility) so an NVRAM reset might help things out.
    After trying the safe-boot and NVRAM routes, if no help, my next tool would be DiskWarrior. In the past, I have had situations where DW found problems that Disk Utility didn't find, though that was in DW 3, probably. Fortunately (knock on wood) DW 4 has not had to confront a disaster situation yet for me.

  • Post install problem. Changes to the state or options of DB SUSDB can't be made at this time. DB Is in single-user mode.

    Hi,
    Have you ever come across this problem before.
    Changes to the state or options of DB SUSDB can't be made at this time. DB Is in single-user mode and a user is currently connected to it.
    It's preventing the post WSUS installation task from completing.
    I opted to use the WID Database option and it created the SUSDB.
    How can I resolve it?
    Thanks  

    this sounds similar to some issues that occurred when KB2720211 was first release (the update does put the DB into single-user mode, to perform some tasks, then switches it back into multi-user mode. sometimes, that switch-back was not performed, and the
    DB was left in single-user mode).
    You can refer to this thread, the steps are buried in there.

  • I can only start my iBookG4 after deleting preferences. I have to go into single user mode to do so. If I don't go into single user mode, the computer shuts down during boot up. What might be the problem?

    I can only start my iBookG4 after deleting preferences. I have to go into single user mode to do so. If I don't go into single user mode, the computer shuts down during boot up. What might be the problem? How can I fix this?

    I do not have a startup disk. I did try fsck (based on what I learned from your reply-thank you). This failed (fsck); here is the message:
    ** Checking catalog file.
        Invalid key length
    (4, 8198)
    ** Volume check failed.
    /dev/rdisk03 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8.
    I am sure this is an easy fix; I just have no clue how.

  • ASAP Single User Mode Problem

    Hello,
    When I try and enter single user mode I see scrolling words and then it pauses for about 5 seconds then some more scrolling then exits itself before I can type anything.
    On my other mac it stops scrolling and lets me type.
    Does anybody have any solutions?
    Removing Ram is not an option and I have cleared the PRAM

    If any peripherals are connected when you try to boot in single-user mode, disconnect them and try again. Otherwise do as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Single user mode locks up hard

    Is anyone else having this type of problem? I had it with both Panther and now also with Tiger. I've filed a bug on this with apple, but they closed it citing the usual "you have third party ram" argument. The ram has zero issues with anything else and I've done some very extensive testing of it (running remember for 72+ hours without a single fault).
    Basically what happens is within 2 seconds of getting the root shell prompt in single user mode it locks up. By lock up I mean that the keyboard is locked out and no method of input works. Funny enough if there was a key pressed down when this happens the key keeps repeating, even if I unplug the keyboard.
    This machine seems to be kind of haunted (have other problems with it as well, all registered with Apple) but I can't get them to replace it.
    Just looking to see if I'm the only one with this problem or not ....
    TIA

  • Freeze in Single User mode

    Hi, my iMac G5 is freezing right away when I boot in single user mode. I mean right away at the prompt. I cannot even start typing anything. The fan start at 100% and I have to hard shutdown the machine. This happens ALL the time I boot in single user mode. EVERY TIME no exceptions.
    I am trying to run a memory test (using MEMTEST) to see if my 1gig memory is defective. My iMac freeze randomly without me able to find a consistent pattern.
    Questions:
    1- Does the freeze at boot could be a problem with me using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
    2 - If not, the fact of freezing at boot in Single User mode a possible explanation of memory problem (does the single user mode lock-up memory that could be bad?) as my iMac do not freeze (for a while) when booted in multi-user mode.
    My setup: 2 ghtz iMac G5, 1x1gig Kingston PC3200 memory (sold and installed by my Apple reseller). My G5 is 7 month old still under warranty.
    I am new to the Mac - I switched from PCs.
    Thanks for the help.
    iMac G5 + Thinkpad T40   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    With the PC-Viewsonic keyboard, Pierre, the symptoms you describe are exactly what you would expect.
    Third party, non Apple, keyboards, even wired ones, can't usually be used to do anything beyond simply starting up in SU mode (you can start them up and get to the prompt, but when you are there you can't do anything further).
    The same applies to Apple Wireless keyboards when running versions of the OS 10.4.2 or earlier, or if the bluetooth firmware isn't up to date. Again, you CAN start them up in SU mode, but you can't do anything with them after you reach the prompt.
    As far as the BT issue goes, as you say its running 10.4.6 I'm beginning to wonder if there was a problem with one of your OS updates. I'd be inclined to download a fresh copy of the full 10.4.6 Combo updater, and run it again. Probably worth running the Blue Tooth firmware update again, too, just in case.

  • Boot mac mini server into single-user mode?

    I've got a mac mini server (one of the ones with no optical drive) and I'm trying to boot it into single-user mode. I hit the power button and hold down the command (apple, splat) key and the 'S' key simultaneously ---- until it boots up to a login prompt rather than a black screen with white text and a unix command prompt...
    Is there some magic different on this particular machine to get to single-user?

    Hi, I wonder if anyone helped you out. I'm new here so here goes. I just bought a mac mini, but not the server. I had finished my new install and then I rebooted and got a black screen, since i have a wireless Apple keyboard, I cannot log into the computer by using commands, like Command-S. And Yes, you are using the right command, that hasn't changed.
    Your problem may be the same as mine, are you using a wireless keyboard, because if you are, it seems that the Bluetooth doesn't have time to install its software while we are trying to log into the system. Thus, as we reboot, we are holding down they keys but that won't help us because the Bluetooth software doesn't have time to do its thing, in the background.
    That is a huge problem because I don't have any other keyboard, but if you have access to a keyboard, get one and plug it into the back of your Mac mini and then you should be all set.
    Does this make sense? Let me know if this helps. I have no idea what to do because now I have a brand new computer with a serious screen with the you must reboot your system in many languages, and when one gets this it is not a good sign.

  • Data back up from Single User Mode

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my 700 MHz iBook, dual USB, with OS X 10.3.9.
    Unfortunately the OS doesn't start up because of "overlapped extent allocation" problem...
    I would like to re-install the complete OS but before doing it, I would like to back up some directories.
    Is it possible to save some data, by connecting an Ipod or some sort of external peripheral, from the Single User mode?
    If yes, how can I do it?
    Thank you in advance from your kind support.

    Before giving up the ghost check out these:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25770.
    Manually fix Overlapped Extent Allocation Errors without Disk Warrior
    Overlapped overlapped extent allocation errors can be the bane of any Mac user's existence. Often, these errors go unnoticed until the problem becomes visible: your Mac might refuse to boot, crash unexpected, or worse, critical data might disappear from the Finder. Disk Utility can detect, but not fix overlapped extent allocation errors, and certain third-party utilities, such as Alsoft Diskwarrior, can fix them, but generally without reporting the consequences.
    Overlapped extent allocation error occur when the file system thinks that two files are occupying the same area on the hard disk, hence overlapping on the same "inode," which is the structure which holds the location of the data blocks the file occupies, and also file permissions and flags.
    Clearing the "overlapped" or "overallocated" extent allocation essentially means that you'll have to lose some data, because the only way to remove the overlap is to delete the file that's occupying the inode. So, if you suspect, or find out, that the guilty file is a critical system file that resides in one of the hidden system directories such as /etc /var /usr/ or visible system directories such as /System or /Library, and you don't want to reinstall the whole OS (which might not fix the overlapped extent allocation anyway), it's good to have another disk available to copy the files back to your original disk if necessary: a second bootable hard drive or a firewire drive connected to your Mac when you remove the misbehaving file. Just make sure that when you copy the file back to your boot disk that the permissions are correct, so it's best to use the "ditto" command, so that all sticky bits, flags, and permissions are preserved.
    In case you didn't know, you don't have to boot from an install CD in order to check for overlapped extent allocations. All you need to do is restart your Mac, while holding down command + S to boot in "single-user mode."
    At the command prompt that appears, type:
    $ fsck -fy
    If you have an overlapped extent allocation, you'll see:
    "Overlapped Extent Allocation" (File 123456d)
    No matter how many times you run fsck -fy, you'll never be rid of the error.
    So, simply issue the following command:
    find / -inum 123456 -print
    Note the "d" was dropped, or any extra letter that appears after the inode number.
    The find will return a file name that matches with the inode number, and the path to that file. If you remove the file then the fsck will not return this error next time you run it.
    However, before you can delete the file(s) in single-user mode, you'll need to mount the file system. Type:
    $ mount -uw /
    When done, issue the "sync" command, and that will flush the write cache so that all pending writes are written from memory to the disk. Also, since most OS X 10.3 Macs use the HFS+ Journaled file system, it might be a good idea to disable the journal before booting into single-user mode by typing:
    $ sudo diskutil disableJournal /
    then re-enable it when done fixing the overlapped extents and rebooting normally:
    $ sudo diskutil enableJournal /

    If you own Disk Warrior then it should be able to repair a drive with overlapped extents.
    There are two backup utilities included in Unix - psync and rsync. You will find them in the /usr/bin/ directory. For documentation simply enter: man psync or man rsync. In order to write data while in single-user mode you need to issue the command: /sbin/mount/ -uw / (Note: there is a "space" between the "uw" and the "/".) To mount an external drive you will need to provide the mountpoint for it in place of the "/", e.g., "/Volumes/volname") without the quotes.

  • How do i repair my hard drive in single user mode when disk is full?

    Hi there Apple Community!
    I have an old Macbook Pro 17" with an upgraded 500GB harddrive and 4GB memory. I'm running Mac OSX Lion.
    Was hoping you could help me out.  THis is the situation:
    Long story short I spilt wine on my macbook and the screen went a bit blobby. Switched it off for a few days, removed the battery etc. etc. Opened it up cleaned out as much of the wine as possible, but unfortunately some of it came in behind the LCD, so now the screen has a nice red stain.  Obviously I'm not going to try to clean that out of the LCD. 
    My Macbook Pro still worked for a few days after that, but then my harddrive gave up.  I booted in the Recovery HD menu, verified the drive and I got the error "Keys out of order - This disk needs to be repaired, click Repair Disk." I attempted to repair the disk but got the error "Keys out of order - Disk Full Error - The volume could not be repaired".
    Unfortnately of this 500GB I only have about 7GB free on it, as I have a huge iPhoto and iTunes library. I did make a TIme Machine backup of my user directory, but not the system files.  I don't really want to do a clean install because:
    1) I'm paranoid that there's something I did not fully back up
    2) I don't want to have to download the whole Mac OSX Lion again. I should have made a USB bootable backup when I had the chance.  I don't have access to a broadband connection.
    What I feel are my viable options, are as follows:
    1) I did buy a replacement internal 500GB harddrive, so I can probably try to make an image of the hard drive to this new drive, but not sure how. I believe it's through the Disk Utility with the "New Image" option but not sure how to go from there.
    2) Start up in Single User Mode and delete some unnecessary files and re-attempt to run the fschk -fy utility again (I tried this earlier and got the same Disk Full Error).  - the problem with this is, I'm not familiar with the command line and have no clue how to delete files.  I don't know my way around Unix.
    3) I can also probably attempt to make a Ghost Image or Acronis Image of the failed drive to this new drive, but not sure if Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image will be able to read this HFS drive - I believe it's possible as it's a simple hard drive clone. 
    If you can guide me in the best option - probably there is a better solution than my proposed ones above, I appreciate any feedback and comments you might have!

  • Kernel panic on MacPro in Single-User mode after memtest.

    I've had about 7 kernel panics in about 7 days on a new MacPro. 2 gigs of RAM (Apple Installed). Fresh install of OSX (no user import). While going through the troubleshooting process I ran memtest in single user mode. Ran it all night no errors.
    So in the morning I typed ctrl-c and then exit (i think)... it seemed to start the process of booting and I got another kernal panic. I've actually done this three times now.
    I checked panic.log and all the error messages but 1 were the same. Including the ones I got in single-user mode (copied below).
    Should I be able to gracefully exit out of single-user mode without a kernel panic?
    Does this point to a RAM error even though memtest and AHD for that matter ran all night without finding anything?
    I'm all set to try again (taking careful notes this time) to see if I can reproduce but I was hoping for some feedback first.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Yes, your memory or memory slot, or memory seating is bad or off. "Uncorrectable Fbd memory error detected. ferr = 20000000 , nerr == 00000000, fErrFat = 20000000 nErrFat == 00000000"
    Clearly a memory related issue. It may also be that memtest doesn't know how to diagnose the new kind of memory and is reporting that back to the logs. Take it in to a service center to have all the boards replaced to make sure the issue isn't reproduceable with new memory. If it is, then I'd consider the slots on the logicboard a problem.
