Start up won't end

I ran a software update yesterday for Mac OSX and at the end I got a strange message that said it hadn't worked properly for some reason connected to the source. I restarted it but it just hold on the whit screen with the apple and the revolving timer in the middle. I've done a complete switch off, left it overnight and restarted but its the same thing.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks
David

I have the same problem on a 1.83 GHz Mini with OSX 10.4.8 installed. The opening gray screen appears, but the clock just spins for hours. Disk Repair did not seem to help, so I decided to do a new install of 10.5 - but no luck. I booted off the install disk, but after I selected the install language, I got an error message, "Mac OSX Cannot be Installed on this Computer". I tried erasing the hard drive and starting from scratch, but still get the same message. I can't find the original Mini Install disks, but I should think that this wouldn't matter, right? I'm open to suggestions.

  • Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. (continued)

    Firefox won't start. Everytime I end the process/close the last window, it keeps getting stuck at about 2500k memory in the task manager. The only way I have to fix it is to change some kind of compability settings or try and access it in a new way, and every time it crashes/closed/computer blue screens that setting will no longer work.
    That is a short term solution, but eventually I'll run out of ways to access firefox successfully. I've tried many solutions, and some worked, but only once. I have yet to find a permanent solution for this problem.

    First please update your plugins to make sure you are up to date. Shockwave Flash player has a newer version 16. In order to better manage the memory that Firefox uses please see these troubleshooting steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram Firefox Uses too much RAM]

    I'm attempting to reinstall ITunes because of a runtime error (R6034) when I start it. At end of install it says 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.  I verified that I have admin privileges.  Can anyone help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • When exporting a video slideshow to my desktop it will start and then just end with no progress so I have to cancel it.

    When exporting a video slideshow to my desktop it will start and then just end with no progress so I have to close it out.  I get no warnings or any explanations. Any ideas?  I am running Windows 7.  No problem viewing it in LR.  Thanks

    Found out LR wasn't stopping but slowed way down. For 19 pictures, no video and no sound it took over 6 Hrs to export.  Does anyone have any ideas to help this?  Thank You.

  • "Export audio of selected range markers to separate files" icon is grayed out in Markers window. Tracks show start times but no end times, yet duration is calculated.

    I have one big wav file of segued tracks as a mixdown and inserted CD markers where I want marked tracks. "Export audio of selected range markers to separate files" icon is grayed out in Markers window. Tracks show start times but no end times, yet duration is calculated. Why can't I export these marked portions as separate files?

    the markers durations need to be configured, there is an easy way to do this using your existing markers.  click the start time of marker 2, this should change to edit mode to type in a new number, just copy the numbers cmd/ctrl+c. then click the end time of marker 1 and paste, cmd/ctrl+v.  now repeat for the rest of the markers, and on the last one enter a value for the end time or click and drag on the duration to manually extend it. once all the markers have a duration, the button should be active to export.

  • About start-of-selection and end-of-selection

    Hi all,
      what is the functionality of start-of-selection and end-of-selection events in reports.

    Here we go :
    Start-of-selection is the event where you will code ur sql statements, this is the event which will be triggered automatically even for normal programs, not only for reports even if you dont specify this event in the program.
    At Selection screen is the event to validate the input values given in the selection screen using initialization event.
    First in the sequence AT SELECTION SCREEN event will be triggered and then START-OF-SELECTION.
    END-OF-SELECTION, will fire only when you actually write it after the selection of the data is over. Usually between the START and END OF SELECTION you fetch the data and after the END OF SELECTION, you process the data and write that as output as display the same as ALV.
    If helpful pl reward.
    Cheers.

    Having mail 4.5 issues- open mail and get a new features message that says in order to use the new features, I must import existing messages into the new version first in order to use mail 4.5.  Just recently put in MAC OSX 10.6.7.  Once it imports I am to click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel of death and it also says you cannot use mail until the import is finished? Now What?

    Is Mail still "spinning"?  If it's been doing that for a while, I'd kill it, using either Activity Monitor or the OS X application picker.  Then relaunch Mail and see what happens.
    Two "by the ways":
    1) Your system details mention an PPC iMac.  Since a non-Intel Mac can't run OS X 10.6, you seem to have another Mac.  You might want to consider updating your system details.
    2) You seem to have been misled by the poor labeling of the message composition fields on this forum into trying to enter your entire post into the "subject" field.  In the future, just enter a summary of your post there and the main text into the field below it.

  • Actual Start Date vs Actual End Date - Activity

    In an Activity, I would like to seperately enter the Actual Start Date and Actual End Date.
    - If I try this using (partial) confirmation,  I receive a pop-up with an error that the two dates must be entered together or no dates can be entered.
    The activity in my project can take over a year to complete and the requirement is to confirm start (at start) and to confirm end (at end).
    Does anyone know of a solution for this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Patrick,
    I think you need to research a bit more on confirmations in PS. Actual dates in partial confirmations are practically interpreted as provisional actual start dates and actual finish dates. The actual start for the activity remains the same however the actual finish date is overwritten once the final confirmation is entered.
    For example, take an activity with start date 05.09.2011 and finish date as 14.09.2011. Now when you provide confirmations on a daily basis, you can use the following strategy:
    Day 1, 05.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 05.09.2011, % complete 10%
    Day 1, 06.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 06.09.2011, % complete 20%
    Day 1, 07.09.2011: actual start 05.09.2011, actual finish 07.09.2011, % complete 25%
    Only when you provide the final confirmation the actual finish date is confirmed. The various confirmation line items may be viewed via CN48N.

  • Start page won't come up

    After logging on to my computer it goes blank. The start page won't come up. How do I fix this?

    Hi Linniepoo,
    We wonder if there is any luck your issue has been resolved, if you mean you cannot change homepage from blank,
    Method 1
    Please temporarily disable your antivirus software and Anti-Spyware, then check the issue again.
    Method 2
    Or you could try changing start page from following register value
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Main\StartPage
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Main\StartPage
    Method 3
    As Milos suggested reboot your computer to safe mode give it a try

  • How to adjust the green (starting) and the red (end) rectangles pixel by pixel (top, bottom, left and right) by changing the number of pixels in ken burns.

    How to adjust the green (starting) and the red (end) rectangles pixel by pixel (top, bottom, left and right) by changing the number of pixels in ken burns. Help please.

    If you look closely at the top of the canvas pane, as you move either of the boxes (green or red) there is an indication of pixel positions... "top, bottom, left, right," and "scale."
    Admittedly, it doesn't seem as if you can "enter" the dimensions with your keyboard, however, as you move the boxes, you have a real time indication of the boxs' locations.
    (I couldn't take a screen shot, as you have to actively move the box with a mouse or other input device... thus, I could not also take a screen shot with same device.)
    I hope this helps.

  • No data found from start index 2 to end index Error

    I'm trying to import a .csv and I keep getting this error  when I press the Next button:
    No data found from start index 2 to end index
    I know it is because my Date column in my csv, because when I take it out I don't get the error
    I have the date in YYYY-MM-DD format so I don'd understand why I am getting this.
    Can someone please advise me? I attached the error and screenshot of my csv
    Thanks,
    Connor

    Ahh, now I understand what you mean.
    It seems that all of your error-processing is done/implemented with DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE calls, also inside the procedure PROCEDURE_FOR_TRANSFER.
    And it is NOT throwing a NO_DATA_FOUND exception (what most of us here at the forum were thinking).
    It is outputting a message text that has the substring "ORA-01403: no data found" in it: something very different than an exception.
    And you want some solution to hide lines with that substring right?
    What you could do (but this is getting silly if you ask me...) is use DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINE(s) right after you invoked PROCEDURE_FOR_TRANSFER and get ("pop") all message lines yourself (that is before SQLPlus is doing that), filter the line(s) with "ORA-01403: no data found" substring in it, and put_line ("push") all remaining message lines back.

  • Fixed start date and variable end date

    I'm using Project 2010 Standard. Task A has already started. It can't end until 2 weeks after the completion of task B. The only way I can make Project schedule this task is by doing so manually, allowing Project to calculate the duration. But then if the
    end date of task B changes, Project reschedules the entire task based on the duration without regard for the start date. If I add a % complete to task A, then the end date doesn't change if the end date of task B does. Project seems to fix the duration
    once it's calculated. I need the duration to be flexible based on the fixed start date and the end date of task B. This project file is stored in SharePoint so I can't make task A a hammock task. I get the error "You cannot create links from a project
    file that exists on a Web folder to another file" even though it's the same file. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    WhoKnows,
    I'm afraid without a hammock task the only way to do what you want is either with a manual reschedule or a macro to recalculate the duration of Task A when Task B moves.
    Update: Okay, after playing around here is a little trick that might work.
    1. Break Task A into two parts (e.g. -1 and -2)
    2. Set the predecessor of Task A-2 to be finish-to-start with Task A-1 and finish-to-finish + 2w with Task B
    Depending on the nature of Task A you may still need to do a little manual adjusting but it will effectively allow the start of Task A to be fixed and the finish to be variable depending on the status of Task B. Does that work for you?
