Windows Fails to Load After Upgrade to Mavericks

Related topic:
https://discussions.apple.com/activity?streamSource=connections
I'm a little late to this party, but hoping to find some help. I can see my WindowsXP Pro partition on the desktop, but after upgrading to Mavericks it won't fully start up. I'll get the usual screens, then the XP loading screen with the blue loading animation. After about 5 passes of the blue thing, it will hesitate and flash a blue screen so fast, that it took me several attempts to snap a photo so I could read it. "Unmountable_Boot_Volume" is the error. It then says to follow these steps... but cuts off and reboots.
One thing of note is that Parallels 10 uses the same XP virtual machine and boots just fine, so I figure XP can't be all that messed up. Maybe a driver issue, not sure. Does Mavericks not support XP? I'm open to Windows 7, but I'd like to backup some stuff first if possible. Maybe I can do that through Parallels?
Below are some details about my setup:

Upgraded from 10.6.8, but I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade to Lion first. That went all screwy but was able to go all the way to Mavericks instead. Proobably where things got messed up. I don't remember exactly how I fixed it. I didn't think I could go that current with this hardware.

  • Please help - CSAuth Fails to load after upgrading from V3.3 to V4.0.1

    We have recently upgraded ACS V3.3 to V4.0.1 on Windows server 2003 SP1. However, now the windows service CSAuth fails to start. There's nothing in the CSAuth log file either.
    If we do clean installs, installing V3.3 from new and then do a upgrade to V4.0.1 on a clean system it works fine.
    The problem seems to be when we install fresh 3.3, then replicate our existing dbase to it, then upgrade to 4.0.
    Does anyone have any ideas - any thoughts would be most welcomed,
    Thanks, in advance,
    Malcolm

    Hi
    When you say nothing in the csauth log... do you mean nothing at all... or nothing that looks like an error?
    Try setting logging to max and seeing where it gets to.
    I suspect there is something in your 3.3 config that doesnt get upgraded corectly. Its impossible for every scenario to be tested - Im not sure how much upgrade testing actually gets done. Probably left until the end of the test cycle.

  • ITunes won't load after upgrading to Mavericks. Error 13010. I have tried deleting the Genius library file, still no luck.

    I found some feeds where people had deleted the genius library .itdb and were able to fix the problem. It did not fix mine. Still unable to access iTunes!

    The option key... I've been holding down the command key... No wonder that didn't work. I should really be writing this stuff down!.
    Regardless, Downloading and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
    Thank you mende1 & saffron63 for the assist!

  • I try to purchase pages (after upgrading to maverick) and get this message: Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple.

    I try to purchase Pages (after upgrading to Maverick OS) and keep getting this message:
    Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple.
    How to I get past this?  I cannot find anything referencing preflight file.  Who can identify this?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to  CRL. Log out, log back in, and test.

  • Stuck in login window after upgrading to Mavericks

    I am unable to login with my (admin) account after upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.
    This was very unfortunate considering that I didn't backup my data !!
    On reboot (I do not remember whether it was the first or second time) I couldn't login anymore as I usually did.
    I tried different procedures (entering secure mode, repair permissions, reinstall 2 times Mavericks) but cannot solve the stuck.
    Then I thought it could be a nice idea to create a new admin user and followed this instructions (http://www.hackmac.org/tutorials/how-to-create-a-new-administrator-account/).
    After that I was able to login with the new user, I backed-up my data but I was still in stuck on login window with the old user.
    I tried to delete
         com.apple.loginwindow.plist
         com.apple.recentitems.plist
    from /Users/XXX//Library/Preferences/ and tried to restart but nothing.
    Now I wonder how my old and important user can start working again.
    Thank you very much.
    Giuliano

    Restart and hold down the Command and R keys during startup.
    On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
    In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    The Password reset utility launches/
    Reset password.
    Restart

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

  • Load averages over 1.00 after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi,
    I have recently upgraded to OS X Mavericks on my old Macbook Pro (Late-2007, 4GB RAM) and I noticed that the load averages are always above 1.00, even when CPU is almost 100% idle. I know load averages don't reflect only CPU but after a reboot I see the same. Could this be because it's an old Macbook and it takes more resources from it to run the new OS X 10.9? This is so strange.
    Thanks for reading!
    L.

    I'm having the same "issue" since I first upgraded to Mavericks from Lion. At first I thought it had something to do with the way processes are scheduled/handled in Mavericks but now I realize that I DO get load averages below 1.0 (~0.7-0.8, never below this), but only when completely idle.
    I have an early 2011 Macbook 2.7 GHz i7with 16 GB RAM, so I find this kinda weird.
    Are you using any particular applications/extensions?
    (see also http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/106828/avg-load-goes-up-after-upgrading -to-mavericks, altough there is no solution here).

  • Late 2007 15" MBP Very slow after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi guys,
    this is my first post here. I look forward to learn and help others.
    The reason of this post is, as outlined in the title, slow paerformance of my computer after upgrading to Mavericks. It was kinda slow from before but this time it's almost unbearable to use it. I used to be able to run VMWare with 2 XP and 1 windows server machines WITH JUST 2 GB OF RAM! Now I have 4 GB and can barely run a single virtual machine with XP and the cooling fans come on just by watching a video on youtube, which also makes performance take a dump.

    I understand it says my RAM is way too low, but hve no idea what's killing it. So far I've disabled and uninstalled all DynDNS items. I just read about Chrome's slow performance for MBP's and plan to switch back to Safari (Firefox made my computer even slower).
    Thanks in advance for any light shed on this.
    Oscar.

    Thank you Kappy, while I was reviewing the log from EtreCheck I noticed the 3rd party preference panes, launchers and daemos. I deleted a few of them and it really helped with system performance.

    I was reading about GeekBench in the discusions and decided to give it a go, although I was able to only perform the 32-bit tests, I got 1268 on the single-core score and 2187 for the multi-core score; I don't know how good or bad those numbers are. Wish I had a before and after reading but I read about it too late, when I had already erased several items.
    I will appreciate any further input BEFORE I decide to reinstall the OS from scratch.

  • System becoming un-responsive after upgrade to Maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick I am experiencing massive performace problems to the point of the system not being usable.
    System: 2010 iMac
    Upgraded Yesterday morning, Upgrade process went smooth, no issues at first. First symptoms of problems were hick-ups in video playback, jerks in window switching. From then on over several hours the system became slower and slower to the point of being unusable. Performed system reboot, which took 45min, followed by fast degradation and unusability.
    Attempted revovery actions with help from Apple support (thanks, even though the problem remains so far):
    Booted system via the network into recovery mode, performed disk check: SMART status OK,  verified and repaired disk no issues deteced, verified partition, no issues detected, data volume looks correct.
    Attempted normal boot-up, unsucceful
    Performed powerdown, followed by opt+cntr+R+P boot, no success
    Performed safe boot (shift), system came back up after 1.5 hours, extremely unresponsive, but at least it is up. I am scared to try to shut it down.
    Diagnosis attempts: Other than time-outs, no unusual errors in console, file hirachy and files look Ok from terminal, access very slow. Can't see any obviously problematic processes in Activity Monitor, RAM usage about 2.5GBytes out of 12GBytes total, largest is kernel with 700MB, CPU not loaded, no high disk or network io. Evything looks to me like a pefectly normal system that runs at 1/100th or so speed.
    Maverick managed to perform a time machine back-up over night and all earlier back-up are gone. So no chance to restore back to Mountain Lion that way.
    Anybody with similar problems, any ideas for next steps?
    Thanks

  • Random restarts after upgrading to mavericks and then yosemite

    I have a mid 2009 15in mbp. I noticed after upgrading to mavericks that I began to have random restarts and significant hang ups to the point of me having to restart it on my own. I would run disk utility and repair permissions. The mac would run okay for maybe a day or maybe an hour, then restart or hang up. I seem to have a pretty full hard drive and I for some reason thought it may be a failing hard drive. I purchased a new hard drive and restored a time machine backup to the new 1tb drive. I also added 2, 4gb sticks of ram. Things were going swimmingly for a week or so with yosemite installed and then the problems began again. It got to the point that the computer wouldn't even start. I threw my old hard drive back in, reformatted it, and reinstalled a back up. The mac is working now, but with the same kind of random kernel panics. I have done all of the latest software updates as well. I would like to put the other drive back in for shear volume alone, but don't seem to get anywhere when I try. Thank you for your time and consideration. Any help is appreciated. Here is an etrecheck as well.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

    After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • My macbook pro is running really slow after upgrade to Mavericks

    my macbook pro is running really slow after upgrading to Mavericks....any ideas?

    OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
    The above link is not very useful, so if it doesn't help read on.
    There are many potential reasons that a Mac may be running slower than expected, but more information is required to begin troubleshooting, much more.
    Back up your documents and everything else important to you before proceeding. It is premature to conclude your hard disk is failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
    To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
    When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
    Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
    Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
    Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
    It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
    Copy and paste its output in a reply.
    Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
    EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
    When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
    After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
    System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

  • Macbook slower after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hello, I'm owner of a Macbook Pro MD322LL/A and I haven't had any issues with Lion (the OS that came with) but after upgrading to Mavericks it changed a lot:
    Lower performance.
    Transitions in the launchpad are laggy (and also buggy).
    Start up time increased.
    Anyway, that's why I want to make a clean install of Mavericks. Because I think that all these things happens because of making an upgrade rather than a fresh install (same thing occured with my iPhone and iOS 7, but that's another story )
    And my question is:
    Is it risky to format the Hard Drive and install the OS again? And do I need to do some things before doing it?(in order to keep the license and else)
    Assuming that I need just to format the hardrive and install the OS X, isn't it a "simple" of doing it? (like Cmd+R but making a clean install)
    Thanks!

    As you can see, there's a couple of things that are "bad" so instead of correcting every single problem (that would take me much longer) I just want to do a clean install and thats it.

    I suppose you could do that with Internet Recovery as well. You should not have an issue in terms of losing your OS license, as long as you use the same Apple ID that you have been using with your Mac.
    I didn't understand the license thing, but if I erase the disk and perform a clean install from a bootable USB that license won't lost am I right?
    I made a bootable USB of Mavericks just using this simple command:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/SINTITULO --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    What do I need to do now? go to disk utility select erase, and then install using the USB?

    When do I need to do that? after erasing the hard drive with disk utility?

    Yes, I don't really care about the things that my mac has, all the "important" things were backed up

  • Macbook 2012 Mid: Can't mount USB mass storage after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi guys,
    I'm having big problems with USB mass storages. After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac doesn't see some USB storage devices (mostly USB sticks and Android phone's memory cards via USB. My external USB 3.0 hard disks work fine) at all even though the devices themselves (for example my Android phone) are clearly recognized according to the System Report. When I plug them in, they don't show up on my Finder or on Disk Utility.
    I've searched everywhere and it seems like some other people are having the same problem, none seems to offer a definite solution. I've even formatted my HD and reinstalled Mavericks from the recovery partition. Now it mounts a USB stick that was in one of the USB ports at the time of installation but still doesn't read anything else! The funny thing is when I boot into Windows 8 on my Boot Camp partition, I can mount any USB devices including the USB stick and the Android phone I'm having problems on Mavericks without any problems. I can even see then when I boot into the recovery so there's clearly something wrong with Mavericks.
    Any chance someone has figured out a solution for this? Apple should've address this long time ago.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem? Note: If the devices are not in Mac OS X format, they normally won't mount in safe mode, but they should appear in Disk Utility.
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Windows failed to reboot after installing PC Suite

    Hi everyone,
    I hope you can help me with my problem. I have an old pc suite version installed in my old laptop(about 6 years old - OS Windows Vista Home Basic) but today i decided to upgrade to the latest one(i think it's version 7). I was able to successfully install it. when i launched the application, it worked fine but when i connected my phone(Nokia X2) via USB cable that was when i started to have troubles. When i inserted the usb cable that came with the phone to my laptop, a prompt appeared that my machine was installing the drivers for my device. After about 5 minutes, the installation was complete and it prompted me to reboot my computer and so i did. Before it powered off, the machine said it was completing the updates first, then done. When it came back on, Windows failed to load and reboot my computer. The complete error msg was: "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
    1. Insert your windows installation disc & restart your computer.
    2. Choose language settings, and then click 'Next.'
    3. Click "Repair your computer."
    If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
    File: ntoskrnl.exe
    Status: 0xc0000098
    Info: Windows failed to load because a required file is missing, or corrupt."
    I already followed the instructions since i have the disc with me but my laptop is still not working. I already did Startup Repair and System Restore but it didn't solve the problem. Please help me. Thank you so much!

    Ntoskrnl.exe is a driver in Windows\ System 32. Replace with Windows\ Driver Cache\ i386\ ntoskrnl.exe in safe mode. If that doesn't work, you've to reinstall W7 as suggested earlier and make a backup with Macrium Reflect. It's not sure that your problem is related to PC Suite. Your PC or laptop might be to old for W7. Reinstall PC or OVI Suite as administrator in XP mode.
