Blinking earth when booting up
I am running 10.6.8 and I get a blinking earth when booting up, this comes up before it goes to the apple logo and to main screen. What is this? Thanks
You need to go to system preferences, then startup disk and choose MacIntosh HDD or whatever that disk is called. Then you restart and voila the earth is gone!! It happens because it is attempting to startup froma network rather than your hard drive

Startup Issue - Blinking Earth
When I boot up, I get a blinking earth icon for a minute or so before the usual boot up cycle begins.
I have checked that the proper start-up disk is selected in the preferences: "You have selected MAC OSX, 10.5.8 on the volume MacBook.
I have done a disk repair booting up from from the startup DVD. There were some repairs.
Any thoughts about this?You could try resetting the PRAM on the strength that the startup volume location is stored in there.
Resetting the PRAM and NVRAM -
I usually don’t restart very often.
On restart of my G5 iMac rev A,
I got a Blinking Earth- maybe 3 times.
then a Blinking smiling Mac alternating between a folder with a question mark, 3 times.
My regular start up comes on right after that.
I got this before and after 10.4.4 and 10.4.5
I did DU and DW before and after with no problems.
Everything is working well, but a Blinking Earth!
I know the alternating means it’s looking for the HD.
I really don’t want to reinstall the system.
WoodieHi Woodie,
glad I could be of help with the other problem.
With the iBook it could not only be the logic board but it could also be a failing hard drive or even a severely corrupted disk directory.
You may want to try booting from your 10.2 disks or the system restore disk and running Disk Utility to determine if there is a problem with the drive or not.
Read through step 1 of the following FAQ for more explicit information on how to do this. Don't worry about the other steps listed in the FAQ, just concentrate on step 1.

Disk read error when booting Windows 7 / White screen / Screen frozen
Hello,
I installed Windows 7 and Mac OSx on Dual boot.
1) A problem arose when starting up. Sometimes the screen freezes after i have selected Windows 7 boot on BootCamp.
2) Second problem, when booting the screen is white and doesn't change.
3) Third problem, "Disk read error occured". This is the message that appears on the screen when booting Windows 7.
4) Fourth problem, a blinking folder with a Question Mark on it.
Please help with these problems.
Thank you for your help.
Stinou142Windows insists that its Partition Map be set up the Windows way. No exceptions. If you use anything other than BOOT CAMP (or Open Source REFIt) to do the partition setup, it will not work.
WARNING: If you allow Windows to Modify the partition Map directly, Windows will clobber Mac OS X so completely that will require a complete Mac OS X Re-Install. Windows in not a pleasant guest.
Be certain you are using the correct version of BOOT CAMP to match Your Mac OS X, and check for which versions of Windows are supported under it. -
Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.
Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.
As stated, every time I move the map with the mouse or zoom the map using any method the map blinks into "offline" condition to redraw. This is not only annoying but drastically slows down work flow.
How can this be stopped?

Thanks,To see what I see, turn off your internet by shutting off your wireless card or disconnecting your ethernet if hard wired. The map will turn into a grey full-earth map and have the note "map is offline."
Woody 77 may be correct but the problem follows me from location to location and happens when others are getting no problems at all.
I was wondering if there was some form of optimizing I could do to improve performanc. Perhaps I am having a problem with my airport card. -
Error messages when booting up
Receive 3 error messages when booting up PS using Win 8. "Could not load the FastCore Routines Module, could not load the MMX Core, could not load the Multiprocess Support Module." Any explanation?
Ah-ha! Seems there are two Adobe program folders, one under Program Files and one under Program Files (x86). I did not know about the one under Program Files.
According to System Info:
Required Plug-ins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\
Primary Plug-ins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\
Creative Cloud app keeps wanting to update Photoshop CC but keeps failing. The error code is U44M1P7.
Following is all of the System Info, showing the third-party plug-ins that I installed a few hours ago from onOne and Topaz. I can't see anything odd in this, and System Info says all the plug-ins loaded.
Thanks for your help.

I partitioned my MacBook Pro and installed Windows 8 in it.....now I can't find my partition when I pressed option key when booting up.....so how can I do to find the partition to boot...I can see it in the disk manager in Mac....any ideas? thanks..!..
Hi LamboMong,
just try this:
http://refit.sourceforge.net
install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
(The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
I hope that will solve your problem.

Satellite A300-PSAG8E - HDD indicator is blinking even when i do nothing
these are my problems
1. My HDD indicator is blinking even when i do nothing ( blinks every half second or so)
2. When I go somewhere my display turns off and when I move my mouse display turns on but nothing is happening. Everything is standing still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes ) and than he is ready to work.
Upgraded BIOS to version 2.20
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG8E
Anyone know the solutions?
Need help please! Thank you> 1. My HDD indicator is blinking even when i do nothing ( blinks every half second or so)
Even if you dont touch the notebook, the HDD is running and different applications access the data. The applications and processes which are running in the background would cause this blinking. Note; this is not a problem!
> 2. When I go somewhere my display turns off and when I move my mouse display turns on but nothing is happening. Everything is standing still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes ) and than he is ready to work.
Disable the stand by modem and disable the settings which disable the screen while notebook is not in use. This can be done in Windows 7 power management. -
My Imac is showing gray screen with red line when booting and restarts again
My Imac is showing gray screen with red line when booting and restart again, I can load it in windows 7 safe mode with red lines across the display, pls help
The graphic card is damaged. You can't do anything more than taking your computer to an Apple Store or reseller and getting your graphic card replaced.
Sometimes, when the graphic card is damaged, operating systems can't start. That's caused because the drivers that make the graphic card work detect an error, telling the operating system that the graphic card is unusable, so the operating system can't start and it restarts. However, you can start in safe mode because operating systems use a basic driver in this startup mode -
Windows "Blue screen of Death" when booting computer attached to LabVIEW PXI realtime system
Good Morning (at least in the western hemisphere)!
I'm having a problem on two test systems where intermittently, at least on one machine, I get a Windows "Blue Screen of Death" error message when booting the machine connected to a PXI RT system. I reloaded the RT systems software yesterday (LV RT 7.1.1, NI-VISA 3.3.1) and am having this problem on two different setups, two laptops, two PXI chassis. Our short term work around has been to boot with the network cable removed at one end or the other, but these are the baseline models for a larger test system in the design/construction stage that will not be used by knowledgeable engineers but by (probably more knowledgeable!) technicians. Any ideas would be a help
Thanks again,

LabVIEW ChampionBlue screens are almost always caused by drivers and not by applications, so chances are there's a problem on the driver level. The crash log file will be instrumental to diagnosing this problem.
Turn on the crash event logging as described in this Microsoft KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314084/EN-US/
...and then post the details from the crash found in the Windows Event Viewer here. That will help us narrow the problem down.

On my HP laptop I get the following when booting up every time: "Apple Syn Notifier-Entry Ponint Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll
I have to clear this everytime I boot up?With that one, perhaps first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel. Does that clear up the error?

Getting weird error message when booting up our computer
when booting up our iMac, we get a gray screen with an error message in 4 languages saying: "you need to restart your computer"
upon restarting, we keep getting the same message.
at the same time we noticed that the screen was very fuzzy... I re-starting holding commandoption+pr to re-set the pram. that worked to get the screen clear, but i still ended up on the same message.
after a few re-starts, the screen went back to the fuzzy view.
I have also already checked the led lights on the back to assure that the power supply was working appropriately, and i got all 3 lights ON and solid. the 4th light (overheating) was not coming on...
any ideas or recommendations??
Tks
LeoWhat you are seeing is called a 'Kernal Panic'.

Try this:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Holding down the option key when booting my iMac lo longer shows me my bootable external drives, the system just boots up to the main system. Also, holding down command, option,P,R no longer zaps the p-ram. the system just boots up normally. Why do these key fonctions no longer work?
It could be your timing if on a bluetooth keyboard. I find it best to hit the keys as soon as i hear the chime, release and hit them again but this time holding them before the chime ends....like a fake pump in football.
But....you can always open up system preferences, startup disk, and select your bootable clone for booting. If it doesn't show up there, the Mac doesn't think it's bootable. -
T440s with Windows 8.1 (and BitLocker) - 1 ot of 3 times gets black screen when booting
We have a case on a machine with original "Lenovo Windows 8" installed. Windows updated to 8.1 and the latest patches. System update is up to date.
Aprox 1 out of 3 times, when booting, after entering the BitLocker PIN, the Windows loading screen is shown in 1-2 seconds, and the the screen goes black. But the machine is moving forward, because the fingerprint lights up and the user is able to log in using that.
(The machine was even able to print a document that was sent to the printer when the machine was offline.)
Have tried to disable fingerprint without any success.I have the same problem.
After trying and failing many times, I worked out that disabling my nvidia card was the only successful solution.
This will then allow the intel graphics chip to work on its own.
Something is wrong with the communication with the USB Dock and the nvidia card! I am hoping a workaround that allows me to keep the nvidia card switched on will be found by someone... -
Blue screen when booting from USB drive in UEFI mode (2013.07)
SOLUTION for me was to update the firmware on my ASRock mb as thatu pdate changed the EFI software (by American Megatrends) version from 2.00 to 2.31. However, other users are still experiencing the blue screen.
SHORT VERSION
When I try to boot Arch Linux 2013.07 with an USB drive in UEFI mode (for installation), I get a blue screen (which is rather a literal description and not a hint towards the old Windows' one) with the message
Failed to install override security policy (14): Not found
LONG VERSION
I made an USB installation media (product: Intenso Rainbow) by following this advice on the wiki.
I used the july release of Arch for that. First of, after installing the image to the USB stick I found that I needed to correct the label in the archiso-x86_64.conf file to ARCH_201307 (or was it the label of the usb stick, can't remember right now). (Pretty sure it was the same problem with "Linux Live USB Creator" which I used 3-4 months ago...)
After doing that, I rebooted and selected the entry
UEFI Intenso Rainbow
from this list of entries:
SATA HDJ ... something (the hard drive where Win 7 64 bit is installed with all programs)
SATA something (hard drive which only contains data)
Windows Boot Manager
USB: Intenso Rainbow
UEFI: Intenso Rainbow
It went to a blue screen with a message in white text saying
Failed to install override security policy (14): Not found
Below that was an OK button which had a black rectangle over it.
After I experienced the bluescreen, I tried booting the
USB Intenso Rainbow
entry and the boot process then worked fine, I got to that Arch menu where I could choose
Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)
Boot Arch Linux (i686)
Boot existing OS
Run Memtest...
and so on...
But just to make sure, I then did the check for UEFI mode according to this and only saw a folder acpi and ... something else I can't really remember, but it definitely was not efi. Thing is, I needwant to boot into UEFI mode as I have Win 7 already installed in UEFI mode.
Some info about my motherboard: it's from ASRock and is called H67M. The BIOS is dated to 2011-10-26 and is version 1.7.
So far, I only found a mention of the problem here at superuser.com.
Last edited by jones (2013-07-15 07:15:18)Ok then, so this thread has also become about the blank screen problem when booting (in this particular case, Arch 2013.06 since 2013.07 seems to be worse).
srs5694 wrote:Typically, you adjust kernel boot options using your boot manager or boot loader. In GRUB, you hit the "e" key to open an editor. In rEFInd, you hit F2 or Insert twice. I don't recall offhand what key does the job for gummiboot (which I'm pretty sure the Arch installer uses), but I'm certain it's got the feature.
You are right. Thanks. I realized I had the gummiboot config right in front of me all the time. It's the file 'archiso-x86_64.conf' in \loader\entries (on Windows).
An addendum: I think the USB: Intenso Rainbow boot option takes me into a GRUB menu. Hitting 'e' in this "big" and fully designed menu didn't do anything IIRC. Hitting 'Tab' did the trick to get into editing the boot command line.
Hitting 'e' worked in the gummiboot menu though.
So I tried booting with the following options (also by combining some of them)
nomodeset
acpi_backlight=vendor
radeon.modeset=0 (I have a Gigabyte 7870 card in this desktop machien)
i915.modeset=0
but it did not help.
To be rather safe than sorry: I should mention that there are two grey-ish bars visible on the top and bottom of the screen after I try to boot the first entry, Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI USB. Always has been with those two older Arch version (2013.05+2013.06). I also found another thread where one user talks about using the VGA port of the monitor, which I am currently not, I am using the DVI one, so that's worth a try too. EDIT It did not help either. What I did was setting the primary graphics adapter in the UEFI north bridge configuration menu to 'onboard' which worked immediately when rebooting (I hit the button labeled "Source" on my monitor and it showed it is using the "Analog" mode), but the problem just stayed the same. Adding aforementioned boot options or a combination thereof did not change anything.
Thanks for the e-mail addresses, I sent one to James Bottomley.
