Installed 10.5.2 and can no longer boot (again)

10.5.1 did the same thing to my install. The situation is virtually identical to what I've posted on previously (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1244135&tstart=0). After installing 10.5.1 my machine refused to boot. I get to the Apple screen with the spinning gear and nothing else happens. I managed to fix it (detailed in the other thread), but that process didn't work here, and frankly I don't know why that worked in the first place.
The big issue seems to be that I'm running my installation exclusively from an external HDD attached via USB.
If anyone has any insights they would be greatly appreciated. This is getting ridiculous.

Should be impossible that the utility update would affect Vista.
A) what happens? (no details)
B) Safe Boot in Vista
C) Vista DVD Recovery environment
D) have you ever run sfc to verify or repair Vista?
It sounds more like a partition corrupt.
I keep Vista on its own disk drive, and w/ Mac Pro I think putting both on the same drive while it works, is less satisfactory.
There was a Windows .exe Airport also. And did you notice the original update that was posted and available was pulled and then resurfaced?
I wait 3 days before applying or installing firmware or software updates for OS X.

Just installed OS X updates and can no longer boot into Bootcamp

Just installed the latest updates for OS X Yosemite and now I can't boot to my Bootcamp partition. It doesn't show up in Startup Disks and it's not an option when booting while holding Option. The partition still shows up in Disk Utility but it no longer says BOOTCAMP, it now says disk04s. Is this fixable? I just wrote some data to that partition last night that I really don't want to lose and it hasn't yet been backed up. Thank you.

Installed Flash 10.2 and can no longer play Flip vidoes on Flipshare

Hi, I'm looking for some help please as have got very frustrated and wasted far too much time on this! Thanks!
I yesterday installed Flash 10.2 (specifically 10.2.159.1) and now can no longer play Flip videos on Flipshare. I had no problem with this on my previous Flash version (10.1 something I think), and also I don't seem to have issues with videos on other sites eg YouTube, BBC etc.
I am no expert but have tried everything I can think of. Have uninstalled and reinstalled (several times), have tried in Firefox (same problem), upgraded to IE9 from 8 (same problem), did a full Windows update for Windows 7 (same problem), added the site flipshare.com to my safe list (same problem), checked the Add On in Tools (it is apparently installed and Enabled). I am now out of ideas and would very much appreciate some help!
What makes this doubly frustrating is that I only installed 10.2 in the first place because I was trying to help my mum to install it over the phone so SHE could view Flip videos of our small baby (her first grandchild). She is on Vista and probably had a v old version of Flash which I thought was causing her problem (she could view them OK up to about a week or so ago), but now neither of us can play them!
Any help or ideas very much apprecited!
Thanks!!!
Lep 533

Many thanks indeed for trying to help!
Yes that is the right site, it's a site where you view videos shared by people with a certain type of video camera (a Flip).
Yes I can see the Flash animation on the login page fine, how odd ...
And yes when I right click a video that has been shared with me I can see settings and global settings (and in fact went in there to disable hardware acceleration, but when I did it made no difference). In fact I can see the first frame of the video and it also shows the video's correct length in minutes, but when you press play the screen goes blank and nothing happens. As I think I mentioned, before I installed 10.2 I could play the same videos from this site with no problem ...
Thanks very much again for replying, hope you can help further!

I've installed a Belkin router and can no longer connect my MacBook to the HP Photosmart printer.

The MacBook connects to the web through the Belkin but not the printer HP Photosmart D110 [E17D6D]. In talking with the Belkin people they said I need to make sure the IP address is 192.168.2.1 but that's listed now as the Default Gateway. The present IP Address is 192.168.2.6. How do I update the primary IP Address on my printer?

Lets try these steps first
You have been thorough with your previous steps. I would also try:
Print a network configuration page from the printer, see the link below for instructions.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02786894&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang...
Enter the IP Address into the address bar of an internet browser and press Enter, this should load a page about your printer.
Click on the Network Tab.
Click on IPv4 under the Wireless section.
Click on Manual Configuration.
Enter the same information as the Network Configuration page into IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway.
Enter the Default Gateway value into the Preferred DNS Server field and enter 8.8.8.8 into the Alternate DNS Server field.
I work for HP but my posts and replies are my own thoughts.

I recently installed itunes update and can no longer connect to network nor internet

I recently (sept 2013) installed itunes update and can no longer connect to a network nor internet wired /wireless. I know it is not the gateway as other devices work. Please help. I am not very knowledgable so exact instructions will be most helpful.

Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
Good luck!

Hi,
don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app)

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless i install new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto so negative. Should I install it or steer clear of it??

I have a Mac OSx 10.6.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and can no longer order printed photo albums unless I update to new version of iPhoto. But reviews of new iPhoto are so negative that I am uncomfortable about buying it. Will it be fine or should I steer clear of trouble and accept that i can no longer publish my photos?

iPhoto '11 is working well.
The reviews usually only show the comments of people who do not like the changed features.
To get an idea what to expect, when you upgrade, look at the iPhoto '11 support sites.

Quark XPress 8 has a few of those PPC only tools, too. Like they they forgot to update them or something.
They were already at v9 when Lion came out and decided that official support would be for v9 only; see here.
According to this, the only thing PPC in v9 and v8 are video encoding for SWF export -- looks like an XTension according to System Profiler. Given their position of not officially supporting v8.x in Lion, that will probably always remain broken in v8. I use v8.5.1 in Lion; works fine for me -- I don't do any SWF exporting.
I have a few other things on my MBP, recently upgraded to Lion; I upgraded just about every app to the latest versions with exception of Quark. The only other PPC things besied that XTension are some scripts from Adobe Illustrator CS5.1, which got installed with CS 5.5. I guess Adobe forgot to upgrade those. No biggie, I never use them.

Will you please provide a specific telephone number or chat link? I seem to be in a loop, that gets me back to the same place:

The context has expired and can no longer be used errors making farm unusable

There are a couple of other posts on this forum about the message "The context has expired and can no longer be used" but they all suggest something related to time and time zone differences. This is not the case in my farm and I have disabled
the security checking of requests on my web applications. Hopefully someone at Microsoft is very aware of this and is working to resolve it because my farm and many others are unusable like this.
I have dug through all of the ULS errors when it happens and there is nothing useful. It barely even registers as a message although, I have not turned on verbose logging, which I am about to try. I have SP 1 installed. Just to be clear, this is happening
on SharePoint 2013 Enterprise.
I have been fighting this for a month. I can add a few things about the farm I am trying to fix:
1. It was a WSS 3.0 farm that when through a 2007-2010-2013 migration in short order.
2. I believe it is under-powered on the hardware side. All VMs on a host shared with 40 other VMs, some fairly busy. Here's the virtual farm breakdown:
-1 WFE with 12GB RAM and 2 cores
-3 app servers with similar resources
-No paging file on C: on any VM. This is a decision by sysadmin. Paging on D: is system managed. Probably irrelevant.
3. Rapidly clicking from link to link seems to bring on the failure much sooner.
Any suggestions even about how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

Ultimately, I think it is a time sync issue across the farm. We still have request management off on all boxes because I cannot get the admins to resolve this issue but, in my lab environment I ran into a similar thing.
I may turn RM back on later to see if it comes back but here's what I think happens: In production we have 2 ESXi hosts and our SP environment is all AD (of course). The clocks are all out of sync, sometimes beyond 5 minutes. (The time sync for AD is something
I believe a lot of admins don't understand when running virtual.)
If you allow ESXi to try to sync the time for all guests you run into problems. Maybe they are more pronounced with SharePoint. Anyway, VMware and AD start fighting over the time (check your event logs) and, for us, the clocks across the domain get out of
sync beyond the 5 minute allowable window.
I recommend disabling time sync from host to guest and do what MS recommends: make your domain controller the master time server and configure it to get its time from a reliable source (which can be a single hardware host over NTP). Make other domain controllers
sync from the PDC. The other windows machines will all sync to the domain when they log in. This will prevent SharePoint from issuing tokens from one machine that are out of sync time-wise with the other machines and thus throwing the "Context has expired
and can no longer be used" errors.
Note that disabling host to guest time sync is not as simple as just clearing / un-checking the box in the VSphere client. That doesn't do it. You will need to Google for the 6 or so custom properties you must add to each guest to prevent VMWare from re-synchronizing
after certain hardware events.

How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.

If the messages are stored on the device and you can power the device up you can use the application posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529 , the application has a screen capture option and you can use the screen as a guide to install MyBackup from Market or a number of backup apps from Market and then you can run the applications and backup data to your SD Card to restore to the replacement device.
