A different G4 start up problem. I think.

I have a G4 Quicksilver, 867 MHz, running OS 10.4.11. I purchased a used G5 1.8 and waa transferring the files from the G4 to the G5 using a Firewire 400 cord. By starting up the G4 while holding the T key down the G4 Start Up drive Icon would appear on the G5 desk top. I could open it on the G5 and move the files to the G5
HD. This worked about a half dozen times and then the G4 would not completely boot. I start the G4 with the power button on the front and get the chime and the gray apple, but then a black and transparent rectangular window appears telling me
that I need to restart my computer. It then tells how to hold down the power button for several seconds. I do this, but I just get the same window each time telling me to restart the computer. I have removed the batter for two minutes and replaced it.
I have push the triangle reset button under the power button on the front of the computer, but no joy. The CD drawer won't open so I can insert the installation CD. Haven't seen this one discussed on this form.

Hi-
You are having kernel panics.
With only the monitor, Apple keyboard and mouse attached, can you boot the G4 to Single User mode (hold command + s while booting)? If so, run fsck to repair the harddrive.
You may also want to download a copy of Apple Hardware Test, burn to CD, and run the test on the ailing G4.
To open the drive tray, you may be able to do so from Open Firmware, (Apple-Option-O-F) key command at startup. Typing eject cd, press Return, should cause the drive to eject. Type mac-boot to get out of Open Firmware.

10.4.8 - Six different Macs all with problems since the update...

We run a business which has six different Macs... all relatively new (3 yrs). Typically we run the auto updates, because that's what we're supposed to do, and we experience little if any problems.
This last update (10.4.8) has caused nothing but problems - little system hickups here and there. Programs hang. Strange screen anomolies. Laptop trackpad issues (clicks and selections when none were made). I have to say that if Apple is going the way of the Windows machine I'm not impressed - at all. Consider thoroughly test your updates before releasing them on your loyal client base. Seems like a simple concept.
Is there anything that can be done to limit the impact of the recent update. Backtracking to the last version is not an option, although setting up the system to allow for this will become a part of our workflow in the immediate future.

dual 2.0 G5's, 4.5 GB memory, ATI x800 Graphics card Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Started having problems with my Imac first power supply (replaced under warranty), then HD/Boot issue. I ran disk repair and was advised by support to try to do an immediate backup (purchase external HD) and reinstall OS from CDs. Although I purchased an external firewire HD that day, my HD failed the next day (unable to backup onto new Glyph in time) so I lost EVERYTHING.
I investigated data recovery options, but just waaay too expensive. So yes, there's nothing like a good backup plan. Lesson learned.
Today (after a nightmarish struggle to get the computer repaired--different issue) I finally got my computer back with a new HD and logic board.
So, I rushed home to start reinstalling OS and software. First installed original OS X Panther disks which incl Garageband, no problems (also set up internet to try to register all software), checked for firmware update (none), ran software updates, rebooted). Then I installed OSX Tiger (ran software update...10.4.8, etc, ), started Garageband new song one track piano (using an M-audio keyboard controller i had hooked up but had not yet installed the software drivers) and it worked! Very cool. everything was time-consuming but seemed to be working fine (and why wouldn't it on a brand new HD with all software installed via CD and all updates recommended by Apple?)
Then, I decided I would next install the GarageBand JamPack CD (before attempting to tackle external HD setup, Pro Tools, synths, etc). So, I saved the "testsong" when closing and received error "Gband unexpectedly quit" and it stopped responding (spinning color wheel). After a few minutes I was able to force quit the application (really didn't think anything of it). Then I rebooted (since it did crash, I did go back and look for a possible software update but said I was up to date).
I tried to install Gband Jam Pack (1) failed about 95% of the way through while I was trying to complete product registration online. Then I rebooted, tried again failed (during which my internet also stopped responding). I had to then reset the wireless router and cable modem, looked for help online and rebooted.
I then ran repair disk permissions (it looked like it did a few updates but I did not see any alarming "errors" flash across the screen). I rebooted and tried to install JamPack again, failed, and rebooted (and looked online for another suggestion).
removed folder: application support/gband/loops/Gband Jampack/ folder into trash then tried to install jampack again, failed, and rebooted.
removed folder again, ran repair disk utility (did not look like it made any updates or report any errors), rebooted. Tried to install again and failed and rebooted, emptied trash and rebooted again.
I am now running repair disk utility one more time (10 solid hours into the software installation process ....my internet just stopped responding again so I apparently have to reset the wireless router again just before trying to send this message). I will run repair one more time, and completely power off computer for a couple of hours while I grab some sleep before work.
But, now I am seeing all these SCARY stories about the 10.4.8 update I just installed?!.
Are these problems related? Can someone please help me? Surely it cannot be this difficult. Thank you!

Photo Gallery start up problem

I have a glitch and it's probably me … but here's what
I know.
About Don Booth's Photo Gallery:
It's great. Everything is good - integrated with my CSS -
looks nice.
When the page loads all is well except the first image in the
Gallery does not display in <div id="mainImageOutline"... (and
the first thumbnail is not highlighted). While I'm building and
testing this is OK. Just click a thumbnail and everything works
well.
In the demo, the Gallery is operational by default and starts
up with the first thumbnail and Spry:detail produces the
corresponding image (automatically). That's what I want.
About my code:
Except for a couple of "page layout" divs that I have,
consistent with my own site-wide style sheet conventions, such as
<div id="wrapper"> and <div id="maincontent"> I have:
1. Copied Don Booth's xhtml code directly from the
Spry_1_1_022408 download sample.
2. Copied Don Booth's css code directly from the same
download sample.
3. Copied Don Booth's gallery.js directly (without change as
far as I know).
The only significant change (apart from CSS and xhtml
structure) in my work is - I added an additional Spry:detail div to
present additional datapoints from xml. This is not relevant to my
question because the issue that concerns me is consistent if I
remove this second detail div. The start-up problem remains.
The URL for the gallery page in question is:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/gallery.htm
I imagine the problem is in gallery.js. You should know that
javascript is a bit like dungeons and dragons to me.
I have an error report:
Error: dsPhotos is not defined
Source File:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/includes/gallery.js
Line: 55
So, when I see:
var gAutoStartSlideShow;
if (gAutoStartSlideShow == undefined)
gAutoStartSlideShow = true;
I imagine I'm looking at something useful but I don't know
what to do with it, or if it is the right code to focus on. I
respect the relationship with level 4 support engineers, but after
trying to solve my own issue for a few weeks I decided it was time
to submit my question. How do I get Photo Gallery to start up like
the demo?
Additional information:
There is also a series of error reports that show when the
Gallery is playing (for example):
Warning: Expected end of value for property but found
'-0.0775'. Error in parsing value for property 'opacity'.
Declaration dropped.
Source File:
http://www.yhqg.org/Celebration/quiltshow2008/galleryix/gallery.htm

I don't think it is related, but that's what I know.
I tried to copy my xhtml (below) but it caused this message
to exceed allowed size. But I don't see that xhtml is the problem.
You can see the source at the URL (above).

Hi Latauro,
Sounds like you need to turn your Slideshow into a Track, and then set the Track to display as 16:9 Letterbox; but first, you'll also need to encode your slides as wide Mpeg 2 clips (encode set to 16:9), too; to whatever duration you have them set in the Slideshow, currently (if they're not already wide encoded clips).
It would be good to stick some same duration audible or silent same format and bit rate audio underneath each of the new movie slides, to present players a nicely packed VOB.
Take care,

New MB Pro; start-up problems (again)

In case you remember me, yes I am the same person who recently bought a MB Air and had lots of problems off the bat (some of which required repair by Apple). It is working fine now, but it was just not working out for my needs. So, I decided to suck it up, switch to the Pro and sell that Air.
Now the PRO is giving me start-up problems. Gah! I made a fresh Time Machine back-up from the Air...then used Time Machine upon initial set-up to transfer everything to my Pro (thinking I was wiser this time, doing it upon initial set-up). But...no go. First my Pro would not recognize my admin password and I had to reset that. Now that I'm into my system, iPhoto will not open (I get a window vaguely stating there is some problem that it then reports to Apple); Calendar and Notes just show big question marks in the dock.
I opened a new user account to see what would happen: in that account, Notes and calendar seem just fine, but iPhoto still will not open.
Furthermore, in my support research I keep coming across stuff that talks about the install disk....But never saw one! Am I supposed to have one, or are the new Pros like the Air (in having online reboot sytem)? I did not see any disks in my box (which of course is currently not where I can access it to double check). The only place the disk could have been is underneath the frame inside the box, but there is usually nothing under there, so I don't think I had one. Could this be right?
Other possibly useful (?) info: I bought the Pro w an 8GB RAM upgrade, which was installed right in store. When I opened a new user account I got a window talking about "automatic login" and how the computer would start to an account that was named after the store where I bought the computer if i did not turn it off. I did turn it off but I would like to get rid of this "store account"...but is not listed as a User acct so I don't know how to find it in order to get rid of it.
Help?!

Thanks for the input. I totally agree that I'd like to take this one back and exchange for a new one. Only problem is that I am traveling for work internationally until after the 14-day deadline. It's quite a hassle to get back to the US in time, though I have it in my back pocket to push for an extention to that time period...
Meanwhile, I had my 3rd Apple Support chat today. They finally gave me a dedicated Sr. Advisor who managed to get the Lion erase and install to take this time. (I didn't pay for the Mountain Lion upgrade; one thing having gone right!) I have to get green-lighted for another free Mountian Lion upgrade but at least we're on track at this point. Fingers crossed it continues that way!
At the rate they're going with me this summer, I should think a discounted AppleCare is in order or SOMETHING. Gah!
For any future problem-having readers, I'm afriad they did not seem to understand/answer why this was happening, so I've no wisdom to impart!
For the responders: Thanks again!

Satellite Pro M10 - start up problems

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro M10, only 2 years old, but has big start up problems at mement.
The message that comes up when turning it on is:
"Intel (R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.09
Copyright (C) 1997-2002, Intel Corporation
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Insert system disk in drive.
press any key when ready......"
Now I have spoken to a few people and they all say I need a new hard disk etc..., but I can't see how you replace this as it looks like it is built in rather than something than can just be pulled out.
Also I don't have a system disk, and the guy that supplied it to me has decided not to return my emails?
Can anyone help please?
Chris

Hi,
Your original error messages indicate that your laptop is unable to boot from the hard drive, so the BIOS search order will then force a boot from the CD drive. This is why it is asking fro a disc to be inserted.
Since you cannot boot into safe mode then I must presume that your hard drive is corrupt in some way, so the next option is to restore the hard drive from your recovery CDs. Note that this will reformat you hard drive and you will lose any data on there which has not been backed up.
To use the recovery CDs simply insert the first CD into the CD drive and power attempt to reboot the laptop while holding down the 'C' key on the keyboard. (This may be different for your CDs but it is the "C" key on mine).
Then just follow the on-screen prompts to start restoring your hard drive.
With regard to your question about the 'system disk', this can be any bootable CD that you may have. Some can be supplied by third party products (such as Norton Ghost) or may be created yourself for subsequent use. Your product recovery CDs are also bootable so you may be able to user the first of them at this prompt.

WRT54g router DHCP problems (I think)

I just got a wrt54g wireless router for my organization hooked it up and started having problems. I set the router to use DHCP and *tried* to set the “Maximum Number of DHCP Users:” to 15 and clicked “Save Settings” but when I went back to that screen it would be back at the default (5), I have since tried to change it many more times and no matter what number I pick (2-230) it still shows up as 5. Anyway. 1st I connected my XP notebook and was able to access the internet (specifying that my computer obtain the IP address automatically) Next I connected my colleague’s vista notebook and he could access the internet. (specifying that his computer obtain the IP address automatically) Next I connected another colleague’s xp desktop (specifying that my computer obtain the IP address automatically) *Next* I tried another colleague’s XP notebook computer and started having problems. I specified that it should obtain the IP address automatically but it would not and kept getting a 169.254.x.x address instead of one like 192.168.1.x (it also keeps showing a subnet mask different from the one I specified on the router). I went back to my notebook (which had been working fine) and discovered that now (without my making any changes to my notebook) I am having the same problem. I am now having the above problem (computers not receiving addresses automatically) with all but one or two computers (the vista notebook continues to work). Someone on usenet suggested I try putting in an IP address manually so I did and it worked but #1 I need more than 5 computers to be attached at one time (the router refuses to accept any number higher than 5 [though I can specify *less* than 5, it will for example remember 4 and 3]) #2 The router should be assigning IP addresses to all the computers, I shouldn’t have to be putting in the addresses manually.

Did you try to flash/reflash the routers firmware? Try that and reset the factory default settings and cycle the power. Then reconfigure the router and let us know if it continues to do that.

Firefox wont now start under Windows8 - it thinks it is open - I can not uninstall as it thinks firefox is running - I can't delete the files manually either

Firefox was working ok my wife's computer for the last month under Windows 8. We just had to reinstall MS Office and now Firefox will not open. I tried deleting it through Control Panel, but that fails - it thinks the application is running. I tried deleting the files manually, but again failed as it thought a file was open. Helper will not open either.

Have you tried shutting down and restarting Windows since this problem started? Problems with uninstalling can be caused by a backup of deferred updates that Windows clears when it restarts.
But... to return to the problem of Firefox not starting, what are you seeing: Does it display an error message? Does it crash immediately?

Alright. So I've had my iMac 24" , 2.8GHz since Feb08 and it's been awesome until recently, putting the computer to sleep freezes everything and requires me to reboot the entire machine. But! That's only the first part of it.
The computer overall runs normally, but turning it off means a world of wonders to turn back on.
• The screen does not show the apple logo, no flashing ? either.. just plain white
• control + command + p + r = apple logo, turns into a circle with a diagonal line as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1892?viewlocale=en_US
• I have a bootcamp installation, so I tried pressing the Alt /Option key to try and boot into windows but the partitions do not show up, the cursor appears perfectly though.
• Pulling the plug after turning the mac off for 30 seconds along with ALL the written documentation on "Start Up Problems" in the guides both online and offline failed to do anything.
• Hardware Check passed with flying colours.
• Disk Checks both verification through cd and permissions within the system passed with no problems.
Anyone else get this lovely problem? Please help me out here before I start manually pulling my hair individually. ty

Hi there:
The symptom(s) you note are among some shown to be in
the group known as a 'kernel panic' and so that may be due
to either (or both) software and/or hardware.
Sometimes, there is a software conflict; so if something was
added to the system which makes a conflict, there is a chance
that a kernel panic may result; however slim that would be.
And if something in one of the folders you can see on the
base level (as icons, etc) in the hard disk drive have been
moved, modified, or somehow otherwise changed from
their original content, character or quality: a kernel panic.
Have you been able to boot the computer from the Installer
disc and run that disc's version of Disk Utility from that item's
own Menu bar? This is short of running the Installer, since
there are options in the menu bar once the Installer is visible.
You can try and see if the tool, Disk Utility, can repair disk;
and repair disk permissions, plus a few other things.
Sometimes, the 'kernel panic' is a matter of trial and error
troubleshooting (a process of elimination) to see what is
an answer by trying everything; then you have solved it.
One of the old standbys for resolving kernel panics has been:
"Resolving Kernel Panics"
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
Another source of similar yet slightly different information, is:
"Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics"
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2063.html
If any files on the root or base level of the hard disk drive have
been removed, renamed, or somehow changed, there may be
a problem in starting up and running the computer. So, if you
can (and - nothing - else works) boot from the Installer disc, and
repair disk, repair disk permissions, an you are at a total loss,
you may try and see if a new system will work. To do this, you
would continue in the Installer past these Utilities and try to
install using an option known as "archive & install" and be sure
to note a checkbox may be required for this to keep your old
settings current in the new system folder it would create.
That may work. And it may be of help to read up on how to
"archive & install" a new system folder. You would also have
to upgrade this new system to whatever current versions of
system software and not overload it with a huge pile of them
at once. To install a few items (often downloads from Support
or choose the automatic Software Update, but not let it install
all that it finds at one setting) and be sure to run Disk Utility's
'repair disk permissions' between installations of software items.
{Before going through all this, have you tried to start the computer
with the Shift - key held down, so you can log into the system in
SafeBoot/Safemode? Then if you can, use the internal Disk Utility
to 'repair disk permissions', then note the repair comments; and
quit Disk Utility, then choose to restart the computer normally.}
You still may have to read through the 'resolving kernel panics'
but there may be some easier way out, instead of installing a
new system folder and upgrading it. There is a reason for this
issue; so something must have been changed in the system.
PS: And if nothing else, the issue may not be directly related to
the 'kernel panic' so you could try reading among these related
results from a search I just did on the "dreaded white screen..."
• ' iMac white screen at startup ' - google search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=imacwhite+screen+at+startup&aq=2&oq=iMac+white+screen
Good luck & happy computing!

Start-up problems after Discwarrior

Having experienced start-up problems on my iBook G4 (late 2004, OSX 10.3.9), specifically the dreaded grey screen and the disappearance of my hard-drive, which neither Apple Hardware Test nor Disk Utility could resolve, I called in outside help (an Apple-certified engineer) who said I needed to run Discwarrior.
Discwarrior ran for 10-12 hours, after which my directory was rebuilt and my hard-drive reappeared. Then I proceeded to perform an "Archive and Install" of OSX, as recommended by the engineer.
However, my iBook still only starts-up as far as the grey screen. I should add that when I start-up from the installation disc, when I select the option to change start-up discs when quitting, my hard-drive isn't listed as one of the options.
basically, my iBook won't start up from the hard-drive. I think. Any suggestions, anyone?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi, Nic. Since your drive can't tell you directly when it's failing as newer drives can, you will have to watch for and interpret indirect indicators (like the rapid re-corruption of your HD directory), or else buy diagnostic software (such as TechTool Pro) that can test the drive thoroughly. But since TTP costs as much as a new drive, I'd suggest instead that you simply buy a new drive and (separately) an external FireWire enclosure for it, boot to your Panther installer disc 1, use Disk Utility to format the drive, and install Panther on it. Then boot to the external drive and copy your data from the internal drive onto it. Shut down and swap the two drives: old internal drive into the external enclosure, new drive into the iBook. Boot to the internal drive, connect the old drive, and use Disk Utility from the internal drive to reformat and completely zero the old drive. If DU can't complete that zeroing process successfully, the drive is bad, and you should replace it with another new drive in the external enclosure, on which to keep all your data backed up at frequent intervals.
Chances are that the new problems you've experienced since replacing your HD directory with a new one created by DiskWarrior are due to a progressive failure of the hard drive, leading to increasing corruption of the new directory almost from the moment of its creation.

Start up problems, including from installation disc.

Hello everyone in the Apple ether, I need your help!
I have a powerpc based iMac G5 at home that I set up for my mum to use once I bought my macbook. I finally managed to win her over with talks of how much easier it would be for her to manage her photos in iPhoto, and everything was going really well. I recently came home after my final year at uni and some travelling to find that the computer is taking a long time to start up. This can be in both the grey apple loading screen but also once it logs in it can take a long time to display anything over than the desktop background, and even once it displays other items any attempt to open anything just results in a spinning wheel icon. At the worst case it has taken about 20 minutes to get going.
Once it has fully booted, the machine doesn't appear to be working any slower than normal. I tried using disk utility in mac OSX and verifying permissions etc and that didn't do anything. I then tried googling the problem and came across this article on the apple web site. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Starting in Safe Mode did not resolve the issue so after backing everything up I tried starting from the installation disc. This is not something I have ever done before and as someone that never really delves beneath the surface of her machines I was a bit scared of doing it. But I put the disc in and restarted and held down C just after I heard the chime, and shortly after it all went wrong. The screen went grey and all I could see was the image you get when it crashes (you know, the power sign with text over it saying you need to restart) with lines of code all down the left of the screen. I took a photo of the screen on my camera so can give details of the code if you need them. The last line said
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.3: Wed Oct 18 22:00:38 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.15.4.obj-4/RELEASE_PPC
panic: We are hanging here...
After a few minutes on this screen the fan started working overtime and after about 5 minutes of that I just turned it off using the power button on the back. The machine has since started up normally (ie slowly) but is working fine.
So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to fix the slow start up problem without booting from my install disc, or indeed if anyone could suggest why I can't boot from my install disc? Thanks very much for your time and help.

It appears you experienced a kernel panic which is hardware related. A few suggestions for you to try:
Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from the computer & try the suggestions mentioned in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805 Mac OS X: "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or *kernel panic* when computer starts
User Tips: Kernel Panics
==============
Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose *"Disk Utility"* from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the *"repair disk"* button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and run *repair permissions* from Disk Utility.
* If Disk Utility (from the install DVD or HD)is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

Start up problem Nokia 2520

Hi,
My 2 weeks old Nokia Lumia 2520 has a start up problem. When I switch on the phone I only see a blue screen with an unhappy smiley face :-(
The battery is fully charged and I tried holding the 'power on'button for 10 seconds, but it doesn't work. Anyone knows what to try next?

I tried holding the 'volume down' and 'power on' buttun simultaniously, but it is still not starting properly. Now I am getting an exclamation mark....

Start-up problem keys won't work

Hello out there,
I have another start-up problem with a G5 2.0 GHz (7.2).
I can't use any start-up keys (such as holding c oder s).
I can't reset PRAM. Starting from CD works only when I unplug the hard drive. The keyboard works fine than.
Any suggestions?
Thanx

all from G3 to G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I found an answer by myself.
Holding the power button after switching on brings you to the open firmware.
Now you can type:
reset-nvram [enter]
reset-all [enter]
After that the startup keys worked again.
Sometimes it's useful to refine your search

A different G4 start up problem. I think.
