Boot mode, hangs at "Waiting on Printing Services"

During boot mode, hangs at "Waiting on Printing Services" then shuts off. Please help. Tnx

I am working on a friend's Ibook, I am a PC IT, and know very little about Mac's so please bare with me in helping (1st grade Mac user).
In my Mac fixing journey, I have used:
1. Repair Disk = no repairs found to fix
2. Repair Permissions = stalls and gives a prompt disconnected quit and restart, did that same prompt
3. Booted in safe mode, gets to the same point "waiting for Printing Services" and then fades out and shuts itself down after a long period.
4. I have tried to holding down opt, apple, p & r keys to reset "pram" = no go.
5. Removed the power source and batter to reset computer.
6. Booted computer connected into the printer and not connected to the computer. Same freeze place.
After all this being done,and reading alot in here, I purchased disk warrior, it corrected a few errors, rebuilt and rebooted...only to come back to "waiting for Printing Services" and then freeze.
Anyone have anything else they can help me with, that might get me passed this problem??
Thanks in Advance for any advice!!

Startup hangs at "Waiting for Internet Services"

I have a Quicksilver 800 and after a power outage when I tried to restart my Mac the startup hangs at "Waiting for Internet Services" and will not get to the login window. I ran a disk repair, permissions repair, and ran Disk Warrior with no luck. I'd appreciate any help you can give.

William, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Will it boot from your system CD?
Is the Startup Disk set to start from your HD or a Network?
Many times after a power failure, the Mac won't startup & you have to do a PMU reset. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial

IBook G3 will not boot! Hangs at "Waiting for Apple Files"

My iBook g3 will not boot past the "Waiting for Apple Files", Blue screen. I have tried everything from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107210 to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214. I only have a Panther OSX 10.3 Update CD. Someone please help me!

Mark:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am not sure why you tried replacing the NetInfo database, or what effect that may have or have had on your startup. Here is where I would start:
Reset PRAM and Safe Boot
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
6. Release the keys.
7. Immediately hold down the "Shift" key until grey apple appears. This will make the computer start up in Safe Mode
8. Log in and empty Trash if needed.
9. Restart normally and log in.
Please post back with update or further questions.
Good luck.

Booting safe mode hangs during fsck_hfs rMBP + 10.8.0

When trying to boot in safe mode (holding down shift while power on) to troubleshoot issues with the upgrade to 10.8.1 the boot process hangs indefinitely.
When switching on verbose and safe mode (nvram boot-args="-x -v") I see that it proceeds until fsck_hfs is run.
The last message from fsck is: "** check catalog"
There is another message probably unrelated after this:
AppleUSBMultitouchDriver: check state - receive state packet payload 2, device was reinitialized.
After this it hangs (waited for hours).
Already did a internet recovery install of the OS and nothing changed.
Normal booting and recovery system booting works without problems.
When I Verify-Disk in Disk-Utility everything is fine.
Can't upgrade to 10.8.1 because there is also problem with the App Store ugrade (doesn't show upgrades)

No, my problem started while I was trying to upgrade to 10.8.1. After it rebooted following the update, it would not boot back up. I think I am going to have to restore from my backup (out of town right now).
Thats bad, so it looks like in order to update it starts in safe mode, if safe mode doesn't work it can't update anymore!

Intel Mini will only boot into safe mode - hangs on ANY Mac OS volume

I have an Intel Mac Mini... the core2duo 1.83GHz or whatever.
I acquired it from it's previous owner, as it was "broken".
He could not get it to run an install disc.
It will not boot any of the Mac OS install media (DVD or CD - 10.4, 10.5, 10.6).
It will not boot/install a Linux disc (I haven't tried, but that's what I was told).
It WILL boot/install Windows !?!?
So... anyway, I removed the HDD, and installed OS 10.6 Leopard on it (FW Target mode installs kept failing at the end - regular retail DVD). I then reinstalled the HDD back into the machine.
The system keeps hanging at the same point it would when trying to boot an install DVD - after the screen turns blue, it goes back to the gray screen, then immediately freezes.
However, I eventually discovered that it WILL boot into safe mode !
Everyone kept saying it's the logic board failure, but if it boots into safe mode, can that be true ? It doesn't seem to me that it would be hardware based in that case - unless it's just a specific component, like the Airport module or something.
The last line displayed in Verbose mode when it hangs is:
"athset_txchainmask[5124] sc->sc.config.txchainmask 5 mask 5"
It also says something about the Airport just before that.
I tried removing the Airport module and it still hangs.
I also tried different RAM, with the same results.
I ran the 10.6.2 combo update in Safe Mode. It still hangs. Haven't tried 10.6.3 yet, though I do have it downloaded and ready to install.
This thing is driving me crazy. Please tell me there's a fix, OTHER than replacing the logic board ?!?! It just doesn't seem like it should be so complicated considering that it runs in safe mode.
It's rare I can't figure out a Mac problem - please help !

Very strange, and getting stranger !
Ok... so, from safe boot mode, I installed Windows XP Pro using the boot camp assistant.
Everything installed perfectly. I started up from Windows, and put in the Mac Mini recovery disc, in order to load the drivers. The Boot Camp software started with Auto Run, and I clicked through to install everything. The drivers start loading...Windows reacts positively, with the system tray announcing "new hardware installed" every 30 seconds or so. Airport/WiFi IS working (in Windows), as it detected my router/network...this is where it gets F'ed up - when the installer gets through with the drivers, and installs the boot camp software for Windows - the system reboots, goes through the usual Windows startup...the desktop background appears, but no icons or start menu - then it reboots again...same thing, again, over and over in a loop.
Went back into OS X (safe boot mode). Installed reEFIt (a bootloader utility), to see if maybe I can bypass the Mac OS/Boot Camp bootloader. No luck. Install worked, but still had the same issues.
For the heck of it, I try installing Linux Mint 8. The live CD starts up OK, but only as far as the boot menu. I tried the installer first - after the splash screen, it hangs on a plain gray screen (w/o the normal linux installer language selection menu - just solid grey).
I tried running the live CD w/o the installer - the actual OS. Same thing - after the splash screen, it hangs, only it's a black screen this time. If I use verbose mode, it still seems to hang on the WiFi card.
Here's the strangest thing yet - Ok, remember, it wouldn't boot normally into ANY Mac OS volume - including the installer DVDs - only in safe boot mode...
So, I try the "hackintosh" IPC osX86 10.5.6 DVD - it boots into the installer with NO problem, WITHOUT safe boot mode ! I tried installing it unsuccessfully. I forget now which options I choose, if any, though I may try it again later and pretend it's just a non-apple PC with the same specs as the Mini (or try just the "base system", and the bootloader - then run the official Apple updates)
This last thing really makes me think it has something to do with the EFI/bios - however, I've only been able to find info on how to update it, not replace or restore it - and it's only from a working install, not forced from a flash drive or CD (plus when I do try the installer from safe boot mode, it says it's current and unneeded).
I still haven't changed the hard drive. After almost successfully installing Windows, I made the assumption the -hardware- was OK, and reassembled everything.
Currently, I'm trying a direct installation of Windows XP Pro SP2 with which I'll try installing the drivers WITHOUT the boot camp software, to see if the WiFi (Airport card) and everything else is indeed working OK (remember too that the system passed ALL the ASD 3S116 tests).
So anyway, that's the current status. Any new ideas anyone ?
Thanks.

[Solved] Boot process hangs for installed Arch and installation usb

Hi. I've been using Arch Linux for around 6 months now and I'm in love with it. It is now my primary OS. However, I might have done something or performed some update, and I can no longer boot into Arch. The boot process hangs right before it should show the login screen (I'm using Gnome 3.6 with GDM). I see the following messages on the screen:
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
/dev/sda3: recovering journal
/dev/sda3: clean, 330610/1749664 files, 5585671/6996827 blocks
And then it hangs right there. I have to hard-reboot after this.
I then tried to boot using the Arch Linux Installation USB (archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.img), which also hangs at a particular point, before it should show me the prompt. I took a picture of the screen where it hangs: Screen Capture. This is an issue with just my laptop, because the USB boots just fine on another laptop I tried.
I also have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my system, and I'm able to boot into both of them.
I have 2 hard drives: /dev/sda is a 120GB SSD, and /dev/sdb is a 500GB hard disk. My partitions are as follows:
sda1 - Windows 7 100MB System Reserved Partition (boot flag enabled)
sda2 - Windows 7 OS
sda3 - ArchLinux (boot flag enabled)
sdb1 - Ubuntu 12.10 (boot flag enabled)
sdb2 - Just data

Ok.. So my Arch Linux randomly decided to work. I'm sure I didn't do anything between my last "not working" state and my current "working" state. Below are a few things I tried:
I thought of trying an earlier build of ArchLinux, and downloaded archlinux-2012.11.01-dual.iso and made a bootable USB out of it. It still hung.
I was getting error messages during Arch boot that the last access time for the disks was at a future date. I found out that Ubuntu was using localtime instead of UTC and screwing up my hardware clock. I fixed it, and thought maybe the time issues were causing the boot problem. But fixing time didn't solve my problem.
I chrooted into Arch from my Ubuntu install, ran 'sudo pacman -Syyu' and updated my Arch install.
I thought maybe GDM isn't starting up. I re-enabled the service using 'systemctl enable gdm.service'.
I removed OpenNTPd and installed NTPd. Enabled the daemon using 'systemctl enable ntpd'
None of the above solved the problem, and rebooting to Arch still hung the system. So I stopped fiddling with it yesterday. Today, as usual, I just tried logging into Arch.. And it just worked out of the blue. The solution to me is as mysterious as the problem.
I told this to my friend who introduced me to Arch, and this is what he said:
Damn it computers, you were supposed to be deterministic!

Print Services - Reboot Printer to Print

On our server we have an HP 2550 plugged in via USB shared via print services. We have an odd issue that I can't seem to fix. When users print to it, it moves from their local queue to the server queue but just sits there until you turn off and back on the printer. I've tried a variety of things but issue stays the same. No error messages, just waits for printer to reboot to print between jobs.
Anyone run into this or have advice on how I might be able to fix it?

If you used the More Printers > Canon IP (PS) option to add the printer queue, then this will use LPR/LPD protocol. With the error you are getting, you may find that the LPD service has been disabled on the copier. Note that Windows will default to Port 9100 (RAW) for its protocol, so that explains why that would work.
You can open the Remote UI page for the iRC3220 by typing its ip address into your web browser. With the home page open, select the Additional Functions tab. You may be prompted for the iRC3200 system administrator ID and password. Enter this if you know it or contact your IT if you don't.
When the Additional Functions options appear, select Custom Settings. On the right hand pane, under Network Settings select LPD Settings. Ensure 'Use LPD' is enabled. If it isn't, check it then OK the change. You will have to restart the machine for the service to start working.
The other thing to check is that the imagePASS print controller option is not fitted to the iRC3200. This is a white rectangular metal box that would be hanging on the back of the copier. If you have this, you will not see all the options I mentioned above. Instead you will see the home page for the imagePASS (probably the C1). If you have the imagePASS, then you cannot use the Canon PS driver. You will need to use the PS driver for the imagePASS-C1.

HT3964 programs hanging; long wait time

programs hanging; long wait time for 'pie' to clear; reset the smc and still not functioning. pls. help.

Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-18666790-125104/AM Pageouts.jpg
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on,IPmyriadLogin Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Can't print on HP 3700..."waiting for printer to become available..."

I can't print on my HP 3700. I've disconnected all cables, re-booted and nothing. I tried to remove and re-add the printer from 'Print & Fax' in System Preferences. I send something to print (from any application) and then in the print queue says "waiting for printer to become available...". Any help would be greatly appreciated!

White Macbook 13" will not boot - Stuck in Safe Boot mode

In a nutshell --
macbook will not boot. Originally it was stuck on the gray screen with spinning wheel. Here is the course of action taken thus far (in order)
1. Reset SMC -- removed battery, pushed power button for 5-1 seconds. Rrestsarted. Nothing. Still with the gray screen etc.
2. Tried to restart in Safe Boot mode. -- Macbook will restart and after 25% on the status bar it hangs up. After a 5 minutes or so it shuts down (I assume form overheating as the fan is running wild.)
3. Wheneve I start it now it tires to go in safe mode so I tired to zap the PRAM (opt/command/p/r) No luck. Tried twice. Once after three chimes. Once after 2 chimes. Still tries to boot in safe mode.
4. Tried Recovery Mode (I am running Mountain Lion). Can boot into recovery mode. Ran disk repair and it said all was fine. Would not allow me to repair permissions but I could verify them. I ran verify. No messages came up at all -- thought this was strange. I also tried to re-install the OS but the first time the only disk available to me was the recovery partition. The second time I went into Recovery mode I saw the regular Hard Drive partition but it was grayed out and locked. Considered restarting to an external USB drive but then did not know what I would do then. Might try this tomorrow.
5. Ran Target disk mode with my iMac. The disk did not mount in the desktop but showed up in disk utility with the HD partition grayed out. Could verify and repair disk but nothing was allowed regarding permissions -- all options grayed out.
6. Restarted with Verbose mode. Ran for 5 - 10 minutes and shut down. Last line I saw was "checking extended attributes file" No error message. Again, maybe it was an overheating issue as the fans were going wild and it was about the same length of tome running as in safe mode when the macbook shut down.
OK. The hard drive is a few moths old. There was nothing strange going on with the hard drive prior to shut down. The only odd thing happening was the dvd drive was begining to make sounds upon restart (from sleep or full restart). Like it was checking/reading a disk in the drive. This was especially odd as the drive has been dead/unusable for a few years. (When you a dvd or cd in it could not read). This dvd drive sound happens even now upon each start up.
I do not want a new motherboard.......or laptop.
Thanks.
Robert

Thanks for the prompt response. Thanks for the adivice. I wish i could get it to go into safe mode. It stops after 5 minutes of trying. I am not sure if it is the hard drive as it will boot into Reocvery Mode -- meaning it will let me access the 650 MB parititon Lion has set aside - so that part of the disk is working.
I am headed to the Geniusues soon.

PS2013 - When creating a new instance of Project Server hangs in 'Waiting for resources' status

Hi,
I have one instance of Project Server 2013 fully operational and I tried to duplicate the instance to make some tests. As I know the issue of using the same Content Database of Project Server in the same Server Farm, I used the powershell backup/restore/dismount
and mount the content database to change the site IDs to avoid index duplication. The Project server database was a regular SQL backup and restore in another database.
I created a new Web App in the port 90 as show below.
Then I included the Content database of Project Server as separated DB from SharePoint for this new SharePoint -acme90 and I tried to create the new instance. The creation hanged in "Waiting for Resources" status.
To make another check excluding the reuse of the SharePoint-80 I tried to create another instance both in the SharePoint-80 where is the working instance and in the SharePoint-90, everything default and again they all hanged in Waiting for Resource.
If I try to create the instance using PowerShell I got the following error:
PS C:\Users\epm_setup> Mount-SPProjectWebInstance -DatabaseName Test_EPM -SiteCo
llection http://acme02/epm -Lcid 1046
Mount-SPProjectWebInstance : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url:

   PSCmdletMountPwaInstance) [Mount-SPProjectWebInstance], SPCmdletPipeBindEx
ception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Cmdlet.PSCmdletM
   ountPwaInstance
All SharePoint and Project Server services are running, all App Pools and sites are started at the IIS. I could not find a hanging timer job.
I cannot stop the hanged process or dismount the instances using Powershell since no instance created.
How should I solve the hanging status of creation of the instance? As they are in Hyper-V I can go back using one snapshot.
Thank you.

Hi Eric,
Thank your for your interest in this case.
I checked for running and crashed PWA jobs and deleted all of them just after restoring the snapshot and tried to create the new instance in the new web app in port 90 (besides the existing and working instance in port 80), but again it hanged in "waiting
for resources". There is not any timer job hanging, no error in event viewer or in log. So the error is well before working with cloned dbs.
Answering your questiion, I am working all on 2013. My intention is backup one instance of the port 80 and copy to the instance of port 90, changing of course the url and the index of the content db of SharePoint. The process I used was:
Create a new web app in port 90, creating a new SharePoint_Content_2 on a
http://server:90 site.
Created the top level site called Portal using the Team Site template.
Create a new content db for new instance of Project Server named EPM_Content_2 using Central Admin.
Backup content db from port 80 instance of Project Server and restore to this EPM_content_2 using PowerShell cmd.
Dismounted and mounted this Project Server content db to create new index for existing sites to avoid index conflicts.
Backup the Project Server DB from port 80 using SQL backup and restored as ProjectWebApp2 db for port 90 instance.
Tried to create a new instance of Project Server
http://server:90/pwa on web app of port 90 using the ProjectWebApp2 db and using the same app pool of the other instance. But as in the previous case, it hang out in "Waiting for resources".

Hangs on Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed

On startup it hangs on "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed". Sometimes an extra row saying "[ 6.423351] firewire_ohci: Failed to set Link Power Status" is shown, and sometimes the screen goes all black before it hang.
Last time I was logged in I made some upgrades (pacman -Syu), so I guess that could have caused this problem but I'm not sure how to fix it.
What should I do?

This is most probably a kernel bug. More specifically, a problem in a module that is being loaded on boot by udev. You can boot into your system by appending "init=/bin/bash" to your kernel commandline (in GRUB). First of all I'd uninstall any third-party (unsupported) kernel modules that you might have installed. If that does not work I'd revert to a previous kernel version and file a bug.

Boot mode, hangs at "Waiting on Printing Services"
