BIOS application error 501

Imaged an EliteBook 8440w with Windows 7 x64 Enterprise. When shutting down from the Start button in Windows, the system shuts down, then goes into a reboot. It then comes up with the "HP BIOS Application Error (501)." I have seen posts about the EFI partition, etc etc but nothing on how to fix the problem from re-occurring. Thanks.

Hi Entering the BIOS Setup menu
Entering the BIOS Setup menu requires pressing a specific key at a specific time. If you fail to enter the Setup menu on your first try, repeat the following steps until you are successful:
Close all applications that are currently running and restart the computer by clicking Start , Shut Down , Restart the Computer , and then OK .
When the red Compaq logo or blue HP logo screen appears, press the F10 key on the keyboard to enter the Setup menu.Reloading the default settings
Complete the following steps to reload the factory installed BIOS Setup settings:
In the BIOS Setup utility, select the Exit tab.
Select Load Setup Defaults .
Select Save Changes and Exit (pressing F5 and the Enter key will also load the Setup Defaults).
Press Esc and then Enter to exit Setup. This is a feature.
You are using info-button to start and have no efi-partition (HP_Tools) installed.
Disable 'HP Quicklook' from bios setup.

BIOS APPLICATION ERROR (501)

when i give power on system shows error hp bios application selected is corrupt or missing please again BIOS Application error(501)

Hello Jaime13,
Have you tried the steps from the previous post?
Try those first and see what happens.
Let me know how everything goes.

Bios is corrupt or missing (error 501)

I downloaded the newest version of the bios. Under system info, it identifies this newest bios as the bios. But the computer shuts down every 30 minutes or so. The computer shuts down. Then it restarts, on its own, and a message comes up, saying "The bios is corrupt or missing (error code 501)." I tried recovering the bios using a press key combination, but it doesn't work. I don't think the computer supports this function. I do have a HP_Tools volume. It has a folder "Hewlett Packard/Bios/Current" with files "68SAD" and "68SAD.sig". The "Previous" folder has the same files. The "New" folder is empty. I've always updated the Bios from the system drive, rather than from an external Flash drive. I don't know if this matters or not. I retried updating the Bios several times, thinking I did something wrong. The computer still keeps shutting down, on its own, while doing things. Then it restarts on its own with the "bios is corrupt or missing" message. I can't turn off the computer without it restarting on its own and coming up with that message. I'm desperate.

Hi @HP-salum
Thank You for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you.
It is my understanding that when you turn on your notebook you are receiving the Bios application 501 is missing or corrupt.
You will need to restore your bios. Here is a link to assist you with that process. Restoring the BIOS
If you are unable to restore the bios using the Windows key plus B method, if you can access the bios by pressing F10 approximately once ever second after pressing the power button to start the notebook to enter the system configuration screen you can try restoring the defaults. There will be an option along the bottom of the screen.
If you are unable to install the HP_Tools on a USB key as instructed in the previous document you can go to the download page for your notebook and look for a bios update which you can download and install on the USB key to recovery your notebook.
Here is a link to Drivers & Downloads where you will need to input your exact model to display a list of software and drivers for your notebook. This is where you can look for a bios update for yours.
Good Luck!

Launching iStore from jDeveloper gives Application Error

Hi All,
Launching iStore from Jdeveloper gives application error. I am new to this arena. Here is the actual description.
We are on 11.5.9 system however applied the RUP1 of Sales and Marketing for 11.5.10 which inturn gave us the 11.5.10 iStore.
I am using jDeveloper 10g with J2SE 1.4.2_06 as per the instruction. Intially all the test files for db , session worked fine as per the suggestions from oracle Metalink Note# 419887.1 . I could also load the login page initially though upon entering the login details it gets me to the same application error page. After some clearning of cache files and reloading the jdeveloper this time it does not even take me to the login page and gives the application error message.
Here is the acutal message : The application is currently not available or an unexpected error has occured. Please try again later.
If this message persists, please contact the system administrator.
I can login to the UI from the actual server but not sure why it does not work from the jdev. Please guide me and let me know what went wrong. Here is the sample guest log file.

MFE - Server Error 501 Not Implemented - Help Pls

Hi,
I have a Nokia E71 with MFE (latest version) installed and set up with the correct connection and credentials etc
Once i have run through the set up process i get an error which in the logs is viewed as follows:
PeakTime active
Setting OFFLINE Status to False
Missing Protocol Version Header. Reverting to EAS 2.0
HTTP Server Error 501: NotImplemented
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

For anyone else who encounters this post, if you're synchronizing your device to an Exchange 2007 server, please try placing a new email in your exchange Inbox to see if that corrects the problem. This error is commonly encountered after a device synchronizes data using a synchronization application other than MfE.
If placing a new item in your Exchange Inbox doesn't work, please power off, then on your device, select MfE > Options > Full resync to synchronize your data.

How to resolve "You don't have permission to use the application" errors?

We've been struggling with managed preferences, specifically applications, for a few users. They have mobile home folders which live on a Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard Server AFP server, preferences which are managed (by group) on a Mac OS X 10.6.5 Snow Leopard Server Open Directory Master, and the clients are running Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard (bound to the Open Directory Master). There are also two Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard Server Open Directory Replicas. We always manage applications and DO NOT sign the apps when adding them in Workgroup Manager.
Essentially, key applications are unable to run due to the "You don't have permission to use the application" errors, even though they're explicitly whitelisted. (See some prior investigation over on Serverfault.) After seeing that the Mac OS X 10.6.5 Server update included the following fixes, we upgraded our Open Directory Master to 10.6.5:
* Addresses an issue that could prevent managed preferences from being applied when a user logs in on a workstation that has been idle.
* Fixes an issue that could prevent administrators from bypassing client management settings on a workstation.
This seemed to improve the situation slightly, our most important application now seems to be allowed. Occasionally, it'll give the same error, but a simple log out & back in allows it again. We have not upgraded the client workstations with the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update as it doesn't note any related fixes and we haven't fully qualified it for mass deployment.
We now have two applications that live in ~/Applications which are explicitly whitelisted (again, NOT signed), which fail with the same error, but logging out & back in does not resolve it. `sudo mcxrefresh -n 'user'` doesn't resolve the issue. In fact, `sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app/Contents/MacOS/ManagedClient -f -u `id -u 'username'`` fails with the following error:
ManagedClient- bad parameter to -u option: use format '-u 501'
Today I was able to catch the following in /var/log/system.log while attempting to run one said applications:
Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname parentalcontrolsd[43221]: -[ActivityTracker checkApp:csFlags:] [954:user] -- * Incoming app appears to be masquerading as white listed app and failed signature validation: /Users/user/Applications/FileMaker Pro 5.5/FileMaker Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMaker Pro. Note: This may be a valid app of a different version than what was whitelisted (on a different volume?)
Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname [0x0-0xa42a42].com.filemaker.filemakerpro[43304]: launch of /Users/user/Applications/FileMaker Pro 5.5/FileMaker Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMaker Pro was blocked
Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname com.apple.launchd.peruser.1340[6375] ([0x0-0xa42a42].com.filemaker.filemakerpro[43304]): Exited with exit code: 255
Dec 22 17:36:24 hostname parentalcontrolsd[43221]: -[ActivityTracker(Private) _removeAppFromWhiteList:] [1362:user] -- * Couldn't find local user record
So, even though the apps are listed in Workgroup Manager and are unsigned, and also appear in '/Library/Managed Preferences/user/com.apple.applicationaccess.new.plist', it appears that the client somehow thinks they don't match what's in the whitelist even thought WE DON'T SIGN THEM WHEN WE ADD THEM!
What might be causing this? Any further troubleshooting tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

According to the [Code Signing Guide|http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual /CodeSigningGuide/Procedures/Procedures.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005929-CH4- SW2], it appears that there is no way to remove signing (emphasis mine):
"You can take a partial-update approach to revising your code on the user’s system. To do so, sign the new version as usual, then calculate the differences between the new and the old signed versions, and transmit the differences. Because the differences include the new signature data, the result of installing the changes on the end-user's system will be the newly signed version. You cannot patch a signed application in the field. If you do so, the system will notice that the application has changed and will invalidate the signature, +and there is no way to re-validate or resign the application in the field.+"
Upon further investigation, the version of FileMaker 5.5 in question appears to be signed even after a fresh install from original install media. I wouldn't have thought Code Signing was around back then (2001). And the code signing appears to match between the fresh install (to a new location) and the original install. I'll attempt to sign it in WGM and install the same, signed copy everywhere.
Also, I looked at one of our other working primary applications (4D.app) and it is unsigned, but appears in the Firewall as "Allow incoming connections", so I don't believe that the Application Firewall is necessarily signing apps automatically (but I certainly won't be ruling it out).
I haven't checked yet, but the other application that's failing is "Parallels Desktop 6", which I'd bet is signed. I wonder if the "Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections", which is checked, would come into play at all?
Thanks for pointing out how to use `codesign` to check whether an application is signed or not, this seems to be the first real break on this case.

Ntdll.dll application error makes itunes crash

Itunes keeps crashing every 30 minutes to 2 hours since more than 2 years now (!!)
according to the event log of XP there's an application error in module ntdll.dll
I have searched the internet for quite some time for a fix for this problem but there doesn't seem to be a clear one.
Help would be really appreciated!

Okay ... not the malware thing that was causing trouble at the beginning of the year. (On the other hand, as well as citing ntdll.dll, that used to always stop people from launching iTunes and quicktime.)
It's relatively rare to see ntdll.dll show up in this context (and probably even rarer to see it only cropping up sometimes), so we'll proceed on a basic principles troubleshooting basis.
ntdll.dll is one of the core Windows operating system files related to handling drivers, so we'd better check on driver, firmware and so forth.
If you've got a name-brand PC, check first at the Manufacturer's website for drivers, firmware and BIOS for your system. If you've added third-party components to the system since then, check for driver updates for those components at the component-manufacturer's website.
If you've got a custom/homw-built system, check at the manufacturer's webpages for drivers/firmware/BIOS for the various components. There's some advice in the following document:
[Updating the drivers on your Windows PC|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1768]
If you update, does iTunes seem more stable for you? (A bit tricky to tell, of course, given that it doesn't happen right away.

Lightroom 5 Application Error

I have installed; fixed; uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5 student version several times. Then I uninstalled it, deleted all files, and downloaded and installed the trial version. The downloads and installs seem to go fine with no errors, but every time I try to open the program, I get a box titled "lightroom.exe - Application Error" with the description "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc 0000 07b).

Lookout 5.1 Application Error

Hi
I have a Lookout 5.1 application running under Windows XP Pro that has been running for over a year and all of the sudden we are getting Lookout application errors in GDI32.dll. We have not changed anything in the system and it is not connected to a network so it cannot update itself. The error happens at 11:59PM which is when it is setup to print the alarm logs and a screenshot of the main process screen. It will keep getting this error nightly unless the computer is rebooted and then it seems to go 2 to 3 weeks before we get the error again. I have scanned the drive for any issues and everything checks ok. I have run memory test and they come back ok also. I have also run a virus scan even though there is no network connection in case someone inserted a disk that may have been infected and it also came back ok. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as this application runs a citys fresh water system and having it crash causes alot of issues. I have attached a PDF file with the error.
Thank You

The GDI32.dll is a windows component for graphics.
I guess the crash happend when lookout tried to call GDI32.dll to get the panel screen.
I'm not sure what's wrong. An idea is to update the Logos. You can get the Logos 4.5.1 from http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/501/lang/en

Recovery mgr.exe - Application Error

I have purchased compaq presario CQ61 312TU notebook in 2009 but my windows crashed. I have recovery drive and discs too.As my laptop isn't starting ,i decided to do recovery. After powering on,i press esc,then choosed Boot device option to CD/DVD ROM.After that I performed recovery using recovery discs.It shows RecoveryMgr.exe-Application Error.
Also When i starts laptop it shows "Serial number not found".

It appears that crucial info ,such as Serial, is missing from BIOS. This will prevent Recovery from working. This error requires service from HP to correct the info. I may be able to get some help. Could you send me an email address via PM? Also what country are you in?
