Boot locked

hello all
Yesterday, i was trying to install a system on an externel disc from my laptop but during the reboot, the system on the CD/DVD froze.
Since then, my powerbook starts up with a grey screen, goes black and shows a grey screen with a folder in the middle with a question mark, then a folder with the finder logo but doesn't boot at all and shuts down after a few mns.
i've tried to boot with option pressed but it displays a windom with padlock, a blank rectangle for password and an arrow.(my admin password is refused).
I tried to boot in open firmware but it asks for a password (my admin password is refused) after the "mac-boot" command.
Also did the usuals (pram reset,etc...) but nothing works so far.
Any help would be much appreciated......

All ColdFusion code and process will run with full admin
rights and
privileges, passing this on to the users of these CF
applications.
It is a better practice to create a CF user with just the
rights it
needs to run the applications being built on that server.
That is what
we do here.

  • N97 rom boot lock?

    Hi,
    for reasons unclear to me, my N97 froze up yesterday.
    i can switch the phone on, and feel (by the short vibration) it goes on, but nothing happens, the screen stays black.
    when connecting it to my computer with OVI on it, it disvocers new hardware, which states the following 2 devices:
    nokia USB flashing Parent
    nokia USB flashing Generic.
    windows keeps making the connect/disconnect sound it makes when plugin / unplugging a USB device.
    it seems it is stuck in an upgrade mode (althoug i was not upgrading or anything when this happened)
    i already tried a hard reset, but this does not seem to fix anything, although, since the screen does not do anything, it might not even be performing the hard reset all together.
    suggestions are highly appreciated.

    Though you have already performed Hard Reset.. just try removing the battery for a couple of minutes.. insert and see..

  • How to triple boot (MacOSX / Win7 / Linux) a MacBook Pro (Retina, late 2013) with Refind

    ok it's not a question, it's an howto.
    You do it at your own risk. No failure reported so far, but I'm not responsible for anything.
    If you try to multiboot your MacBook Pro (MBP hereafter) you may face a new complexity. With on partition, Bootcamp does a pretty amazing job installing windows. But when you want to partition your disk in your own way, Bootcamp may fail to install windows and another third OS. You may also want to have a share partition between your OSes, hence have multiple partitions. Most of this tuto should also work for Windows 8 and for other Macbooks.
    Problem 1 : Bootcamp does it with one partition that it divides in two and allow to setup Win7. Not all time though since some user reportidely have problems to get USB 3 support and the keyboard and mouse are non working during the install / setup phase.
    Problem 2 : Windows 7 is not able to install itself to a GPT partition and needs an Hybrid MBR. Bootcamp does this, but just for a Dual OS setup. So to make the magic happen in a multi OS environment, you'll have to do want bootcamp does, manually.
    Step 1 : Download the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant from Apple and flash it to a USB stick. (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433)
    Step 2 : Reboot, holding the option key (aka CMD, left of spacebar) down, to trigger the boot menu options. Start the usb drive with OS X recovery and enter the partition tool. Create 3 to 4 partitions, suiting your tastes. Just put windows partition first and I recommend to put the partition sharing data across OSes second, MacOS 3rd and Linux Last for example. MacOS and Linux are fine with pretty much every setup, Windows need the 1° usable partition.
    Step 3 : Migrate your Macos using the same tool (google it for details) or Reinstall MacOS from the recovery partition. (more about migration here, but there are better tuto on this)
    Step 4 : Start your MacOS and create a bootcamp USB stick with the bootcamp tool. You need an ISO from Win7 (or Win 8) and a drive of at least 4 GB. Bootcamp will most likely complain about the fact that it will not be able to install 7 due to the fact that you don't have only one partition, ignore and proceed to the Bootcamp USB stick setup.
    Step 5 : Adding the USB3 support to your Win7 installation. Plug your newly created Win7 USB stick to a computer running Windows. In the sources directory, copy the boot.vim on your disk drive and add the drivers that Bootcamp added to your USB stick, in the $WinPEDriver$ directory and follow these instructions to add them to your boot.vim image. Follow carefully every step, it does works. Add the drivers you feel like, commit and copy back your boot.vim image, patched, to your USB stick, in the sources directory.
    Step 6 : In your MacOSX, install the GPT fdisk partition tool. You just have to unzip the archive. Win7 is unable to install to a GPT disk, so you will have to create a (dirty) Hybrid MBR. From a terminal, launch GPT fdisk. Carefull here, the Win7 is most likely not the 1st but the 2nd or 3rd because there is an UEFI partition before. Just check before adding them if in doubt, by striking p. Then key in r then h then the number of the partitions you want to add to this hybrid MBR (the Win7 & the Shared one). Accept the type 07 for this partition and type y, n & finally w. (more details here for the fans)
    Step 7 : Reboot, keep the CMD key down to trigger the boot option menu. Reboot on the USB stick, install Win7. If it doesn't understand the partition made for it, format it, if needed, from the 7 installer, delete and recreate it.
    Step 8 : Install your favorite Linux distro with a USB stick generator. (see here & here). No complex part, except that Grub will most likely scratch your nice Hybrid MBR, rendering Win7 inaccessible. No problem, reboot in MacOS and redo step 6, this will revive your win7.
    Step 9 : It's cosmetic but keeping CMD key down to boot is not so practical. ReFind does it just great. Setup is super easy, just kick install.sh from a shell in MacOS. Fine tune decoration and some stuffs later on from the config file.
    Step 10 (optionnal) : You want it all, without switching between OSes? Having Windows app running within MacOS is easy, with most native hardware acceleration preserved, using Parallels desktop. It also works with a "simple" Bootcamp Windows setup.
    Enjoy your mighty triple boot MBP.

    Just ordered a Retina MacBook Pro11,2 (mid-2014 15", 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, OSX 10.9.4 Pre-installed - Build 13E28)  and have the exact same issue.  The first thing I did when i booted it for the first time was enable FileValut2 and encrypt the disk.  Though I failed to notice this behavior prior to encrypting the disk, the stuttering/lag happens without fail every time I have logged in from a cold boot, locked screen or sleep. Additionally I have noticed the same stuttering behavior when switching tabs on various built-in OSX applications such as the tabs on the About This Mac > More Info.... (System Information) dialog for example, and similarly other dialogs that experience this behavior of resizing when switching tabs. I was running no other software than About This Mac > More Info ... (System Information) and OSX 10.9.4 itself.  The issue happens without fail with and without a USB mouse plugged in.
    I am really glad to have found this thread and with such recent posts.  I'd love to find out that this is just a software bug that will be fixed when OSX 10.10 "Yosemite" is released.  If not, I hope the cause of this bug is determined soon so I can still exchange or have it repaired.
    Migflono and Matthew, would you be able to post your hardware specs for comparison? 

  • Computer wont boot after long power down z77a-g45

    Hi experts !
    I think i need some help. I own a z77-g45, bios 2.9 + Core I5 3570K +SSD 120 Go intel + ati 7950.
    I received this MB one week ago. Since, i try to make it work, no trying OC.
    I began with Win8. Installations seemed fine, but after some time letting computer power down, i alwas found myself facing OS unable to boot, even when using older restoration point.
    So i decide to go with win7 64 bits.
    Once again, all looked like running fine, till a long power down, after that, OS refused to boot, locked on screen with colored windows logo.
    I can boot in safe mode. But still couldnt find a faulty service with msconfig a dichotomic way. Os went back during the process..
    What i noticed, is that after a long power down, it seems to happen something in the Bios : when the computer starts, it shuts down after one second, and then restarts again. Like if some settings were changed automatically by the motherboard. But I didn't see what the changes are.
    Does that inspire someone ?
    Thanks
    Nicolas

    I saw a similar post, where the guy changed the on board lithium battery.
    I did the same, and now everything looks fine.
    I also did a dual boot install : w7 x64 and w8 x64. That allows me to have access to a boot menu with the ability to easily start w8 in safe mode if needed. I noticed it can help, cause sometimes, the integrated GPU (HD4000) has some side effects.

  • Login screen on MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault is extremely slow (suttering)

    Hi
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault on OS X Mavericks. When I boot up the mac freshly it takes quite long to get to the initial login screen (which as I understand is a pre-boot login provided by the recovery partition if File Vault is enabled). However, what is even more bothering me is that once I get to this screen, the whole UI is behaving extremely slow. The mouse makes jumps of a few inches on the screen and the animations (e.g. if you click a user and then an animation shows the password entry field) are running in slow motion and only update every few seconds. Typing the password afterwards runs smothly again (altought for example moving the mouse at this point still behaves as described before). After loggin in to the account OS X runs fine without any hicks. Can anyone give me a hit what this could be and how I could resolve this?
    This has already been done:
    Reset PRAM
    Boot into recovery partition and run repaired disk and disk permissions
    Run all OS X maintenance operations and cleared caches using OnyX
    What I could imagine is that somehow the recovery partition is damaged (which as I understand is used to boot to the login screen if File Vault is enabled).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

    As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

    Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
    I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
    However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
    I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

  • I accidentally pushed the power button of my macbookpro... it restarted but doesnt open... what appears now is a flashing FOLDER logo with a QUESTION MARK on it.. can someboby help me to fix this?

    i accidentally pushed the power button of my macbookpro... it restarted but doesnt open... what appears now is a flashing FOLDER logo with a QUESTION MARK on it.. can someboby help me to fix this?

    (Assuming you don't have a firmware boot lock set)
    First easy step...
    1. Shut down the computer if it's on (hold the power button down... until it shuts off)
    2. Press the power button
    3. Immediately press AND hold the Option key ASAP
         Hold until drive option images appear in a single row across the screen. Typically most people running 10.7 or 10.8 will see 2 drive options to boot from: the main volume they usually boot from, and a recovery volume. If your main volume pops up. Use the cursor or arrow keys to highlight/select the main volume and press enter. That should boot your main volume. Let me know what you get from this point... I'll give you more as you go along.

  • Can I install Panther on an extra internal drive to swap into another G5?

    Bear with me on this long explanation...
    I have a G5 that won't boot (lock on grey apple screen and then the fans blow wildly). I can't get the optical drive door to open unless it's in target disk mode with my powerbook -- where the drive door opens fine...but not when trying to boot the G5 on it's own. Unfortunately - this is preventing me from booting from the G5 Panther install discs.
    I used Disk Utility while in target disk mode to verify/repair the disk and the report says the drive is fine (which I know doesn't mean it is free from corruption)...but if I then try to boot the G5 on it's own --- grey screen and I'm stuck. Seems like the G5 startup disk has died.
    Also tried to boot from a FW drive with a cloned copy on it. Holding down option on restart --- I get the icon for an OSX volume (which is the FW drive)... click on the icon to select it (doesn't seem to do anything) but if I then hit the right arrow icon -- it goes back to the frozen grey screen.
    OK -- here is the question:
    Can I use my wife's G5 that runs Tiger to install Panther from my G5's install discs onto an extra internal drive that I can drop into the empty drive bay on the Tiger G5 --- and then install that extra internal drive (hopefully with panther now installed) into my G5 as a brand new start up disk?
    If so -- are there any things that I need to do other than the procedure above?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    When installing Panther on the extra internal drive using the G5 running Tiger --- can I just insert the install discs into the Tiger G5 optical drive while it is already running and perform the install onto the extra drive
    No. You have to boot from the installer disc to install any OS.
    or would I need to restart the Tiger G5 with the install disc inside the optical drive and hold down c on restart to reboot from the Panther install discs and select the extra drive as the install destination?
    Yes.

  • Hard Drive or Motherboard issue?

    Hi,
    You can see my set up in my signature below - Forgot to mention it's Windows XP SP2. I am having issues with my Hard drives, Everything was working perfectly for about a week, then misteriously my 2nd hard drive (the 300Gb Maxtor drive) disappeared from windows explorer so I rebooted, this resulted in the computer sitting at the boot screen (the MSI full screen graphic) and not doing anything. I tried restarting a couple of times but still nothing so I opened the case, unplugged the sata drives and plugged them back in, this resulted in the computer booting fine. About 30 mins later the Maxtor drive vanished again, so I tried the same procedure but couldn't get the machine to boot. This is where it gets interesting:
    there are a few options for how the drives are plugged in:
    1) 80Gb Seagate (os on this drive) plugged into top sata port, 300gb Maxtor plugged into bottom port.
    2) Seagate plugged into bottom port, Maxtor plugged into top
    3)Seagate on its own plugged into either port
    4)Maxtor on its own plugged into either port
    Results:
    1) Machine willl not boot, locks up at msi logo
    2) Machine boots into Bios but the seagate drive cannot be seen, the maxtor drive is present however. Takes forever for the Bios screen to show up, the computer seems to operate very slowly.
    3) Machine boots fine off the seagate drive in either port on its own, no delays, bios works fine, everything is good.
    4) Maxtor drive is only visible when plugged into top sata port.
    Also, with no hd's present at all the computer boots fine into Knoppix off a cd. I've still to try booting into knoppix with the hard drives present.
    What is also interesting is that if the machine attempts to boot off the Maxtor drive (no OS present) I get the typical Windows NTLDR missing type ctrl+alt+del message which I find odd as there shouldnt be any OS present at all - the drive was formatted when the 80gb drive arrived and is just used as a file storage area.
    I am starting to believe that this is a hard drive issue and not a motherboard issue but some input from you all would be much appreciated. I am taking the Maxtor drive to a mates house tonight to back the data up off it, if it works!
    Thanks for your help,
    Ian

  • My 3GS won't turn on after Restoring it to my new 4S

    I have just bought a brand new 4S 16Gb today & successfully Backed up my old 3GS to iTunes and then used this to 'Restore' my new 4S.
    My problem is that my 3GS will not turn on now, all I get is the Apple logo on the screen as if I had done a cold boot (lock & home buttons) but it sticks on that screen. When I connect it to my Mac the same screen appears & iTunes doesn't pick up the device.
    I was under the impression that I could continue to use my old 3GS as an 'iPod touch' as I want to keep my TomTom satnav app on the 3GS (due to the connection issues the 4S has with the TomTom iPhone car cradle) but now I'm stuck!
    If it helps, right after I 'backed up' my 4S I was able to use the 3GS to delete all the apps (apart from TomTom) and also disable iMessages and remove my Mail & Twitter accounts from the phone. I have since turned it off & my issue has arisen.

    There must be a SIM card in the iPhone, but I doubt that is the issue as it would atleast boot up but would give a SIM error.
    Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and then restore it via iTunes.

  • Sandisk cache SSD 24GB dead ?

    Hello,
    I've recentely decided to install windows 7 pro on my Lenovo U410.
    I have lauch diskpart for cleaning disks so i've clean the hard drive and the cache SSD.
    But now the SSD is not reconized. Worse, when the SSD is pluged in the bios won't displaying, the boot menu don't want to open and windows doesn't boot (locked on black screen).
    The bios want the password, i give him and black screen too.
    When i plug-out the SSD the bios work the boot menu too and Windows is booting.
    When i plug in the SSD when windows is booted, Windows has no reaction et the SSD is completely invisible in the disk manager or in diskpart.
    THe SSD is dead ? or it's just a configuration i've miss ?
    thank for attention and sorry for my very poor english :s
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hi leomerirosvo,
    When the SSD gets detected, try to use Sandisk's SSD Toolkit which includes a:
    Firmware update (if available)
    SMART tool
    Diagnostic tool
    Drive Information tool
    Alternatively, you can use a secure erase utility to reset the SSD to factory settings. You may also try to use a USB to mSATA adapter (like this one) to erase the SSD.

  • 4770K & Z87 GD-65 not clocking at all

    Hi all,
    First post here and in much need of help.   I've been tinkering with overclocking from back in the jumper setting days and this board just doesn't seem to want to play ball in the slightest. Even the Genie gives me no more than 3.7Mhz which I think is the standard that this board picks up for the 4770K.
    Things are different on this board to the others I've had, but then this is my first MSI too so unsure if I'm just missing some basic unlock setting or something.
    Specs are:
    W/cooled I7 4770K idling @ 30C
    MSI GD-65 GAMING
    2 x 8 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400 (CMD16GX3M2A2400C10)
    MSI GTX 560ti (I know, I know it's days are numbered  )
    Nexus rx-8500 PSU (850w)
    OS: Win8.1 on 120GB M500 SDD
    ASUS Xonar D2X Sound.
    When I try to change anything, the settings are saved and shown on next boot but there is no change to the current speeds of either processor or RAM. I'm not getting any boot locking or having to reset BIOS with any settings I've tried either. Just seems weird nothing at all is altering from the default regardless of what I try.
    Thought I'd treat myself and indulge in some clocking goodness and now feel like a right plum nothing is responding to my needs.  Or have I just got some lemon hardware?
    Cheers for any help as I'd appreciate some suggestions.

    I don't have a x87 yet, but these screenshots should be similar:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
    Vdroop is very important and if not set to near 100% you will have trouble overclocking.
    There's no VDROOP in this BIOS.

    Do all the OC'ing manually. Disable XMP, OC Genie, etc.. Here are some Z87 screenies;
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=176021.msg1275677#msg1275677
    There may also be some good tips in that thread in general.
    Thanks I'll get a look at that. I was only mentioning genie because even that was getting no results. The RAM isn't even booting at 1600 by manual settings. I thought at least that should show a change even if my chip is crap.
    Anyway, will try some of the things on that other thread and see how it goes. Fingers crossed.
    cheers.

  • MBP13 - first lock-ups, now not even booting anymore

    hi everyone,
    after last weeks itunes update (could be coincidence) i have experienced some lock-ups when using my mbp. first for only a few seconds, but they grew longer and longer to the point, where it was unusable.
    now it won't even boot. i get the startup sound, then the white apple screen for 30 mins. and then the light blue screen for about 4hrs (i shut it off after that).
    does anyone else have this problem? any help is appreciated.
    oh, running on 10.6.1 with all the latest updates installed.
    thanks
    frank

    thanks for the reply.
    i've tried the disc repair. failed.
    it couldn't repair the drive in three tries and suggested to back up my data (which i can not do) and install 10.6 from scratch.
    will do this later. but ****, my last back up is a few days old.
    any idea what could have caused this? drive hardware?
