Access denied icon when booting from techtool CD

The DVD drive on my imac will not allow me to boot directly from the techtool pro 4 CD. You think its starting up then i get the spinning wheel with the access denied icon (circle with diagonal line through it).
I've run the hardware test from the original imac installer CD, everything appears fine (this also shows the imac can boot from a CD). I've tried zapping the P-Ram before booting from the CD and also have tried the verbose boot and still nothing. Im slowly running out of ideas, can anyone help. PLEASE!!!!!

Thanks for the update,
TechTool does have a proper version of OSX to boot from as I have tried the CD on a friends G5 tower, same operating system as mine and his boots fine.
PS thanks for letting me know this is the G4 discussion area, being new to this I thought I may go wrong somewhere.

Access denied error when starting DIAdem from LabVIEW

We are using the DIAdem Connectivity Toolkit in our application. Our application starts a DIAdem session to handle querying and datasheet creation. On a recent installation at a customer, our application was not able to communicate with DIAdem, i.e. we get an Access Denied error when our application tries to start up DIAdem.
The location of the error is in the DIAdem Open Connection.vi. I believe it is when the Automation Open is run.
Is there some system setting that could be blocking communication between the two, i.e. ActiveX setting, etc? If so, where could we control these settings from?

Hello Derrick,
While cBauer is away from the office, I will be working with this case on his behalf. I will try to answer your questions as best I can to determine what might be causing this failure.
1. The error which we encounter is an "Access Denied" error (as stated above). I am currently investigating the error code, and will update this post accordingly when I have it.
2. Our application is a built (.exe) application using LabVIEW 8.5 and DIAdem 10.2
3. We do not install the toolkit directly on the customers machine as this is a built application. We install the FULL LabVIEW 8.5 Runtime engine, as well as a licensed copy of the DIAdem 10.2 Basic edition.
4. The error occurs in run-time environment at a customer site. We have been unable to duplicate the error in development.
5. We're using the "DIAdem Open Connection.vi" from the DIAdem.dll library to initialize the connection (this is the VI which appears to be producing the error via the "Automation Open" node), and we're using the "DIAdem Close Reference.vi" from the same library to close the reference.
6. I will instrument a simple application which performs these tasks and post the results when we have tried this operation.
7. I am unsure whether the repair operation has been attempted. I will verify this behavior and again post the results to this forum.
Thank you for your help. Please let me know if you require additional information. Hopefully we can discover a solution to our problem.

Access Denied Bug Opening PDFs from the DFS in Reader X

Hi,
Do you have any timelines for when a bugfix will be released for the Access Denied problems when opening PDFs from a DFS share with Protected Mode enabled? We were hoping to make use of the new sandboxing technology within the corporate environment, as recent issues with security vulnerabilities (in Adobe Reader 9, the authplay.dll issues) would be mitigated by the technology. However, as the Protected Mode does not work when opening from the DFS there is no point in moving to Adobe Reader X from 9.4.1 at the moment.
It would be good to have a release date so that we can start taking advantage of the technology as soon as we are able to.

There's no dates, or indications of when this will be done. Thanks for your useful assistance though.

I get an access denied error when logging into extension builder 2.1 on Flash Builder 4.6

I get an access denied error when logging into extension builder. The error is: You are not eligible to use CSIDE1 services due to the Service Eligibility Requirements.. Very frustrating since there is no other option than to read the adobe legal docs.
Before this started happening I was prompted to put in my birthday (WHO KNOWS WHY ADOBE NEEDS MY BIRTHDAY). I filled it in wrong and now this....
PLEASE HELP

Ok this problem is fixed.
Info for anyone else who faces this problem.
Apparently when adobe designed the extension builder installer package, they decided to get cute and try to figure out what version of the software, the extension builder package files should be installed into. So if you have FB4, FB4.6, and FB.7 there is no telling where it will go. Also if you try moving these folders somewhere else out of the applications directory, the installer will still find them on the system. I finally figured this out by watching my system log and seeing
11/22/13 12:13:46.258 AM cp[70909]: Cannot make directory /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6.app
Location: /Users/myuser/Downloads/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6-adobegarbage/plugins/com.adobe.cside.ui_2.1.0.201304282312/icons: No such file or directory
After removing every single instance of places the package installer was trying to use. It finally resolved to the correct FB4.6 location. Why adobe could'nt spend a little extra time add a destination selector in the package installer is beyond me, but hey i only wasted 3 days trying to figure this out.... Sadly it isnt the first time i've wasted copius amounts of time fighting Flashbuilder problems.
Halligrimur, thank you for your help. It did lead to me solving the problem.

What kind of RFC do you use? If you use synchronous RFC the caller waits for the answer/result of the called function. In normal cases this should solve your issue.

No Harddrive when booting from OS 9.2.1 CD on G4 MDD 1.25 Dual

I also have a G4, 1.25 GHz dual processor running OS X 10.2.8 and 9.2.1 updated to 9.2.2, 1 GB RAM.
When booting from OS 9.2.1 CD (came with the computer) I do not see any harddrive. Need to reinstall OS 9 for some classic applications.
Drivesetup can not find any disc to format.
Any idea?
PowerBook G3/400 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi, kai -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
An OS 9-bootable G4 MDD model requires OS 9.2.2 as the minimum OS. Apparently some models of G4's which require OS 9.2.2 can in fact boot to some OS 9.2.1 Install CDs, but that is all - they can not run the installer or do much else.
Your G4 MDD model originally shipped with a combo set of install disks; none shipped originally with a separate OS 9 Install CD (the last G4's to do so were QuickSilver models). You can ise that set of disks to re-install OS 9 (Classic).
One or more of these Apple KBase articles may help you do that -
Article #106294 - Mac OS X: How to reinstall Mac OS 9
Article #107383 - Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: How to perform Mac OS 9 clean installation with Restore CDs
Article #42929 - Using Restore Discs with Mac OS X 10.2 or later
There can also be an issue with what bus a hard drive is on. As I understand it, in order see a hard drive on the ATA/100 bus on a G4 MDD model when booted to an OS 9 Install CD, the System Folder on the CD must contain the file Mac OS ROM in version 9.5.1 or later. No OS 9.2.1 Install CD (or earlier version) contains that file version.

Ethernet seems to work when booted from Leopard DVD--Not anytime else

Ok. Here is the deal. iMac G5 connected via ethernet cable to router. It will not connect. The airport works fine. I unplug the same cable and plug into macbook pro--it works just fine. Plug it back into iMac.
In network utilities when booted from the disk--I can ping away just fine. So--in network preferences when I boot it up again I attempt to put the IP address, subnet, router yada yada yada in manually and after about twenty five seconds of the program chewing on it--it crashes. Over and over again. Airport works just fine. PowerBook and Mac Pro connected to same network---all check out.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
The internet port is meant for modem, and ports 1,2,3,4 are meant for computers.
After making proper connections reset router for 1 minute, and rebbot it.
Now run easy connect program for configuring router.

Error Message when booting from System CD's

Ill advised I put a OSX disk in my hardly used iMac CRT G4 with 64meg of RAM. I did not know about the firmware upgrade required. Discovering my error I tried to use the System Recovery / Install CDs that came with the machine.
When booting from the CD all goes well until about 50% into the boot and then the following error appears on the screen
interfaceLib -- MgmError with a button to reboot the machine and make sure that the C button is held down on the keyboard. BUT the mac is trying to boot from the CD. Holding down the C button makes no difference. Holding down the shift key (preventing the extentions) gets past the error BUT the system restore or system install programs will not run.
Help! I am really stuck

Not only were you suppose to update your firmware, you also needed to purchase more RAM. The minimum RAM requirement for OS X is 128mb. However, Cat System users strongly recommend 256mb+.
Suggest you check out the following links & see the section on "Tray Loaders".

[RESOLVED] "Isolinux.bin missing or corrupt" when booting from USB.

Just giving root cause explanation and resolution to closed topic:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107241
where "Isolinux.bin missing or corrupt" when booting from USB. I hope maybe someone will find it rather than closed topic 107241 :-(
Windows DD and unetbootin-windows are created for single ISO partition. That's why old Archlinux like 2010-05 will run.
The newest one archlinux-2014.01.05-dual.iso will not work like that because there is UEFI pre-boot (two partitions). That's why it can't find then Isolinux.bin and report it's missing. Of course this kind of issue will appear on old motherboard without / old UEFI support as they can't understand bootstrap and real root fs later.
unetbootin tool is partition driven so it can't do split well 32 UEFI + remaining root.
Resolution:
If you really don't have any Linux based machine to use Linux DD there is work around:
1. Install WIndows Virutalbox and extension pack
2. Download latest Archlinux ISO and run VM from it + USB support map real pendrive
3. In guest VM booted form Arch ISO just run DD if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/sda (pay attention that SDA is real USB device then).
4. Wait about 8minutes. halt. unplug usb. Voila.

How to use Photoshop CS6 when booted from a different partition?

I have CS6 installed. I recently created a second partition on my SSD for development in OS X 10.10. When booted from that drive, I get an error that CS6 was not properly installed and to re-install it.
This is a smaller partition, with just the system and a few development apps, and I'd prefer to continue to run my larger apps from the original, larger partition.
Of course, every app I have tried does this with no issues except CS6. I usually need to re-enter app serials, but they work.
What files need to be copied from one partition to the other to let the app boot up?

They work fine. I first tried with a clone of my main drive doing an update in place on it.
i guess I will need to boot into 10.9 to use them.
I will mostly use stand-in apps like Pixelmator.

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.

No external disk encryption available when booted from Lion installer

Problem: When booting my Mac Mini from a Lion Installer USB thumb drive, Neither Disk Utility nor diskutil from the command line seems able to actually encrypt an external drive. They both seem to be able to convert the drives to coreStorage, just not actually encrypt the drives.
Background: I was able to successfully preform 3 encryptions from the Lion system on my 17inch MacBook Pro before failing as described above:
1) I encrypted my main HD in my laptop (using System Preferences > Security & Privacy)
2) I encrypted my Time Machine backup (Using Time Machine system prefs)
3) I converted an external 2TB USB drive filled with data (I had a freshly mirrored copy of all this data as backup) using diskutil cs convert -passphrase from the command line
each of the successful encryptions took about 24hours/Terabyte
Here is where I tried and failed, step by step:
### Failure 1
I created a bootable backup of Mac OS X Lion on a USB thumb drive. I booted my Mac Mini with it and attached a 2TB external USB drive that I wanted to encrypt. It was a blank drive so I launched Disk Utility from the recovery/installer screen and created 1 partion, GUID, Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Then I went to the Erase tab and chose Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted), provided a passphrase and erased. It took just a couple seconds and said it was done.
I moved the 2TB external to my laptop running Lion, it asked for the passphrase and when provided the drive mounted just fine but when examined with "diskutil coreStorage list" I see a couple problems (besides the fact I don't believe it encrypted a 2TB drive in 15 seconds)
Conversion Status is NoConversion and it's not listed as revertible - my successful encryptions are listed as "Conversion Status: Complete and Revertible: Yes (unlock and decryption required)"

Again it seemed to work, it went thru the corestorage step and when mounted on my laptop running Lion I'm asked for the passphrase and it mounts and the files are all fine but again it finished in seconds instead of the 24 hours I was expecting, and diskutil cs list shows a conversion status of "converting" but no progress is being shown in Size (Converted) or Conversion Direction and Revertible says no decryption required

X200 with OCZ ssd blue screens when booting from docking station

The x200 blue screens when booting from the docking station. If I take the laptop out of the docking station to boot and then dock once booted the laptop is fine.
The issue started happening when you I upgraded the laptop form xp to windows 7 and installed an OCZ vertex 2 solid state drive.
I have tried updating the firmware on the ssd using this utility
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-69806
The program showed that my ssd was running firmware version 1.29 and did not need to be updated.
I have also tried updating the x200 to the latest BIOS. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
