Urgent, installed SL now when booted I get panic.

ok so what happened is I got Snow from a friend who had just bought the family pack, I installed it and everything wen sMOOTHly until my mac restarted and booted up, I was met with a "please hold down power button yadda yadda screen...." this is what comes up about 2 seconds into the apple being onscreen from startup... I honestly dont know what to do.. I turned it off holding the cmnd, option or cmnd ctrl p r method and nothing, i even took out the battery and plug and help the power. still nothing... i even tried restarting in safe mode holding shift... that only kept the apple on for 2 seconds more till BAM "please hold down power" I have a black macbook that had leopard on it. if Im not mistaken I think I missed 1 update.. and that was about it... I dont know what to do but I'm not to panicked over it anymore... please help either way. I REALLY dont want to loose all my info. also I forgot to mention. if I look deep into the hard drive from the disk utilities screen (i already repaired disk and the other one ) I can see all my stuff still there like my music info and files so i know my hard drive inst corrupt.... again... any ideas? please help.

Stupid mistake, had one but brother stepped on the hard-shell thus rendering my external hard-drive useless.....but the thing is i dont see why there cant be an easier solution instead of having to do it again, is there nothing i can change, delete, add or transfer in anyway that might force boot my mac instead of going to the slide down panic?

    >I am trying to load my new programs onto this laptop
    Actually, no you're not. You're trying to load old programs on this computer - programs that are based around the old (dead?) Mac OS 9, not Mac OS X.
    The main problem is that Mac OS X no longer comes with Mac OS 9. If you want to run Mac OS 9 applications you can, but you'll need to source a copy of Mac OS 9 and install that before you can. Off hand I don't know of any sources for Mac OS 9.x. Apple no longer sell it. eBay might be an option.
    Either that, or just use Mac OS X applications. You'd probably prefer that anyway.
    Finally, as an aside, this doesn't really have anything to do with AppleScript, so posting in the appropriate forum might get you better luck.

  • Lion installed. Now when I click on a pull-down menu like "Size" when shopping Safari crashes.  Help!

    Lion installed.  Now when I click on a pull-down menu like "Size" when shopping Safari crashes.  Help!

    Can't help with your Safari issue, but if you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

    Hi MAX22,
    Even though it's your computer but your user account might not have sufficient privileges to install the software.
    Please try the following :
    > Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
    Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

    Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
    If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

  • When booting up get flashing apple folder with question mark and no sign, why?

    When booting up get flashing apple folder with question mark and no sign, why?  Computer will not open up.  I have tried resetting the Pram.  I can access the hard drive from another computer holding down the t key when starting up the Macbook Pro.  What to do next?

    The cable connecting the HDD to the logic board may be faulty.  If the internal HDD can boot the MBP when in an external enclosure, that will confirm this issue.  If not, the HDD may need to be replaced.

  • I recently purchased new Mac Mini with Lion installed. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini.

    I recently purchased a new Mac Mini with Lion installed. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Now I can't get iTunes to sync iCal from my iPod Touch (3rd gen) to my Mini. Everything else syncs great, and iCal syncs from my Mini to my Touch. My Touch has the latest iOS installed. I have tried rebooting my Touch, removing the sync calendars option from iTunes>Info and checking it again after applying and closing iTunes, and restarting my Mini. Any help will be appreciated!

  • TS1277 My computer has had new windows installed and now when I plug in my phone is does not recognize the device

    My Computer has just had a new windows package installed and now my "Device is not recognized" when I plug it in?

    Microsoft Office is a program you would need to reinstall again.
    As for data backup if you baid 200.00 for a cruddy job for just picture backups and a reinstallation of Windows, thats pretty bad.
    I would ask the technician where your data is. basically you want to ask if he backed up your User directory

    Are you saying you're running Windows in BootCamp or Windows as a Virtual Machine? You can increase the fan speed on the Mac using smcFanControl and use the software OGELTHORPE recommended to observe improvements.
    smcFanControl is a Mac application and doesn't work in Windows, but if you set a higher minimum fan speed (which is how smcFanControl works) while running OS X, when you reboot into a BootCamp partition, that minimum speed tends to be carried over.

  • Have an Epson workforce 600 worked fine until new router and Lion installed.  Now when I try and scan with the all in one I get a "POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED"  and my IMAC does not recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.

    Installed a new router.  Installed Lion. Have an Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer.  Two problems. 
    1. I cannot get Lion to recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.  There is no scan option on the "print/Scan" popup window.
    2. When I try and use the epson scan utility I get:  POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NOT LONGER SUPPORTED.
    I have tried EPSON support with no real luck as they say it is Apple upgrades that are the problem.
    Apple support was quite rude..said it was not their problem and that I should call epson.  Told the I did but it made no difference just got the same reply.
    Have no idea what to do.....seems I cannot find out which multi-function printers Lion supports.

    Not to give you another run around, but you need new printer drivers from Epson for your printer so it works in Lion.
    Now it could be that they are working on it, or that they could have decided not to provide new drivers in order for you to force upgrade.
    The only thing a user can do is decide very carefully BEFORE upgrading to a newer Apple operating system, make sure that all their current hardware and software works and make a decision for themselves.
    Since you upgraded to Lion, you can go back to Snow Leopard and your PPC software will work.
    Do you need instructions?

  • I attempted to install the addon 1 click weather. It did not properly install. Now when i open ff4 i get an error message. How do i not get the error message?

    The error message isheaded Java Script Application:

    You cannot redact a signed document. This is because one of the things signatures guarantee is access to the OLDER document (i.e. there will be an unredacted copy in there).
    In general you cannot remove signatures, but sometimes you can. Look under the Signatures tab (right click on left vertical bar if there isn't one) to see if it is removable.

  • Installed Itunes7 - now when conected can't see ipod in windows or itunes

    As per subject, i have just downloaded itunes 7. No problems. I have previously had no problems with connectivity but now I connect the ipod in the same way and nothing happens - not in windows or itunes. Anyone got any ideas, thanks

    Same deal here, and I'm ready kick some Apple ***!!!! Those stupid ******'s sent out new software that has totally hosed everything. I tried all their feeble suggestions. I was finally able to get itunes7 to recognize my ipod, but only after having to restart the ipod service several times and then opening up itunes. But that was for naught because I'm not able to do anything with it. When I try to add music I keep getting a "required folder cannot be found" error. And when I try to update or resotre I get a dialog that says that it's trying update my ipod, but it just keeps going and going. I let it run for over 12 hours the other day. NOTHING!!! I figured to **** with 7 and tried going back to an older version, but guess what. Once 7 is installed the music file formats are incompatible with the older itunes. Not only am I not able to connect, but when I try to play music from itunes7 the sound is "jumpy". I don't know what they were thinking.
