Boot never ends

Hey guys.
Yesterday i decided to install Arch, on my second HD
It seems to me, that everything went fine, i just skipped the install of grub, because i already have grub on ubuntu. So i just went there and add a line to boot Arch as well.
I reboot the system, and choose Arch, the boot began, and when i was already celebrating, the boot started to "freeze"
It stopped for long times, on ata1, ata2, sd 0, and then after a really long wait he stop on "CD-Rom driver revision: 3.20"
Can someone plz tell me if i did anything wrong? Is it a problem with my HD's? I have no clue o.o
============================
on sda i have ubuntu hardy installed
sdb1 it's where i installed Arch, sdb2 its swap, and sdb3 /home.
sdc it's my third hd for files, musics, movies...
============================
If you guys need anything else about the computer or the installation, just say
Thks for the help.

But it always say that it can't find the root device.

Ipod boot never end...

Hi all,
I have a big prob with my ipod photo 40GB : I tried to use it in disk mode to backup my hard disk, and during the copy the ipod gave a unknow error. Since this the ipod start the boot (white apple on black background) and never end, the boot restart every 5-10 secondes... no ipod on dekstop so no way to reinstall it with ipod updater. I tried the 5R but it still the same... Please help !!!
Thanks in advance
Phil

I am experiencing the identical problem. I am hoping that if I drain the battery until it is completely dead it may force a "hard" reset which when charged again, it may start working properly.
Let me know if you find anything out.

D10, boot problems, a never ending fan test!

I hate this noisy fan test!!! My dog always panics, if it is in the room! But that's not the problem.
If I switch on the external mains, the fan test starts and ends after some ten seconds.
If I push the switch at the front of the maschine, the fan test starts and - sometimes - never ends. In this case, the maschine - obviously - will not boot. What to do? - Repeat the procedure. Sometimes I need 10 or more attempts to boot the maschine.
Now I found (shortly before I decided to bring the maschine back to the dealer): The fan test succeeds nearly every time (and the maschine will boot), if I switch off all the external USB-devices (5 disks, WLAN-stick, memory stick, etc).
My questions:
what's going wrong with the fan test at my maschine?
is it possible to skip this crazy fan test?
Thanks for your help!

regarding the fan test, this cannot be disabled.   thinkstations are designed for 24/7 uptime just like servers and the BIOS tests the fans at every boot/reboot.   since there isn't much reason to turn these systems off or put them asleep, the best workaround is to leave your D10 running 24/7 as it was designed to do.   mine only gets rebooted for windows updates, software updates, or video driver updates.   otherwise, it's up 24/7/365.
regarding the fans getting stuck, update your BIOS.   the latest version can be found here.
also, if you put your system to sleep, be sure to wake it with the power button and not your keyboard.   a few users have reported their fans getting stuck when waking with their keyboards.   i'm not aware of the issue happening when using the power button.

Initial Time Machine Backup never ends

Hi all folks,
I try to backup my PB12 Disc (120 GB) to a external 500 GB Disc, connected via FW400, but the backup never ends, I think.
The backup starts with 100MB/min but after 20h (80GB are store to a external Disc) it slow down to 1MB/min.
With the "Activity Monitor" I see only some disc activities and a "mds" and "mdworker" process use some cpu time only (more than 10%).
Where can I get some detail information, a log file, about the Time Machine activity from.
Thanks for any help,
Lutz

Hi all folks,
the initial Backup ends after 2 days (nice to to see, :-(),
but on the boot volume I can go the time walk only.
I split my disc into two partitions, sorry.
Bye, Lutz
p.s.
With CCC I spend 4-6 hours to back up my disks only (100GB).

Suddenly never ending pinwheel and slower than usual

My macbook pro suddenly started to get slow and gave me a never ending pinwheel while only having Safari running. The mouse was working but no response when clicking. Only way to restart computer was by holding down the Start button. Restarted and this time the computer hang up when I tried to Log in (while writing Login and password). I mangaged to Log in two more times but I got the pinwheel again when browsing internet. Finally I managed to make it to Support/Community.. any idea what's wrong?
Thanks in advance (: !

Print out these instructions and info at the links provided as most require you to be offline.
Do a SMC and PRAM reset first, then a Hardware Test
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
If the hardware test gives any errors, note them here.
Check the time and date on your computer to make sure it's correct.
If your still having slowdowns, pull the power plug on both the router and the modem, connect the modem and wait a bit then connect the router. Reboot your computer and it should connect automatically to your wifi. See if your slowdowns only occur if connecteted to the WiFI or not, that way it can be determined if it's a internet issue or not.
(If your still having slowdowns, it might be because you have a Open Network on your router and someone is leaching off of it. WPA 2 with AES is the only secure wifi standard))
You can test your internet connection speed here, see if it matches what your paying for.
http://www.speedtest.net/
IF your computer still has issues then:
Fish out the 10.6.x disks that came with your computer (grey) or the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk, stick it in the computer and reboot holding the c key.
(Make sure the disks are clean on the bottom, wipe with a very soft cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to clean and don't place the disk on a harsh surface that can damage the bottom.)
Second screen in, under the Utilities menu is Disk Utility, select your drive on the left and click First Aid, Repair Disk (please write down any errors this gives and tell us) and Repair Permissions (the results there you can ignore)
Do not erase or reformat the drive.
Reboot and see if your computer works, if not repeat the c boot off the installer disk again and this time skip Disk Utility and install OS X.
It will install on top of your 10.6.8 installed version (only, not your programs or files), which when finished you reboot and immediately Software Update to 10.6.8
This should take care of anything wrong with OS X itself.
Now to clean the caches of the user and other checks.
Download the free OnyX for 10.6 and run ALL the maintenance and cleaning aspects and reboot at the end of the tasks (you can cancel in between reboots) but reboot at the end of using Onyx)
Do all the checks it asks when it starts up and note any errors here they report.
Also under the Verify Tab is a Preference (plist) check, check the "show only corrupt files" and run that, make a note of all and any corrupt plist files.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/
Plist files are preference settings files that sometimes get corrupted and may be the cause of your problems.
If you have some, then you can look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for them and Trash them and reboot the machine and load the program responsible, the plist file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
The next thing to check would be your web browser plug-ins here
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
For Flash in Safari check here again as it's more accurate
http://flashbuilder.eu/flash-player-version.html
Download Flash and install if it's not this version (latest)
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Silverlight here
https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx
Finally install and run ClamXAv on your drive, this will look for known malware that might have gotten accidentally installed.
http://www.clamxav.com/
Since OS X was reinstalled, along with bundled programs like Safari, this should only leave applications and users as a source of any infection.
If your stil having issues, then create a new user and transfer your files over and when up on the new user, delete it.

Never ending automatic repair loop

I'm working on a client's HP ENVY TouchSmart 4-1215dx Ultrabook that is stuck in a never-ending automatic repair loop. I have done a system diag...all passed . Tried multiple ways to get into BIOS to do a repair from a USB stick made from another OS 8....but can't get into BIOS to change the boot. Tried F11 to do factoy resest....just puts me back into the loop. I have a feeling my client downloaded a bad 8.1. Considering pulling the HDD and using my desktop to at least try and save her personal data....Please help!

That would be the best thing to first do and then use the recovery media of which you will now have to order since the O/S seems corrupted beyond repairs. This way you can be sure the recovery media will restore it back to factory install and hopefully they will not do this again til they will consult first before upgrading the O/S.

Apple Hadrware Test never ends after ram upgrade

Hello,
I have a macbook pro 15" mid 2012 (not the retina) with osx 10.9.4.
I recently upgrade my 4go of ram to 8go of ram (Corsair Vengeance SODIMM 2x4go PC12800 1600Mhz CL9 1.5V CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9).
In order to test the ram I use the Appel Hardware Test.
Both mode, simple and extended, seems to be frozen and never ends.
I try to let the test works the all night and the all day but the test never ends.
So I decided to test my ram with memtest86 boot cd and everything seems to be ok.
The fact that Apple Hardware Test never ends trouble me.
Do you think there is a problem with my ram ?
Do I need to return my ram ?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
We could discuss how you'd benefit from the additional memory, however, since the system isn't working, let's focus on the beeps.
When you start the system, it goes through some tests (called the power on self test or POST) before loading the operating system. If it finds any errors, it beeps, and the beeps are:
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
3 beeps means it doesn't find any memory that passes the POST test. The fact that this started up after the service center installed the memory upgrade is suspicious, however, if it worked in the store then stopped working later, it may just be unfortunate timing.
There are some company's on the internet that claim they can repair the logic boards, otherwise, Apple's solution is to replace them. In the US, some Apple stores offer a 'fix everything' service for $350, which is less than specifically replacing the logic board - perhaps there is a similar service in Taiwan.

Os x never ending startup

I let me teen use the old G3 ibook and in 2 days its problems arose.
I read the posts on starting problems and tried the command s boot and the command apple d p boot and it still takes me to a never ending starting os x window. Wont boot using the command C, same thing every time.
Should I get a gun ( for the machine of course) or swap out the HD and start out fresh ?
I do remember the machine slowing down lately after one of the auto updates for tiger but cant remember which update, so many come through automatically

I think so. Or you have also run out of HD space altogether. 10.4 is a consumer of HD space and currently has an error and is not freeing up space it didn't really use. I had not even paid attention to to a lot of little nuisances on my G4 at first. I was passing all off as the age of the machine. Almost oblivious to the fact that my PB G3 would run 24/7 doing slideshows and iTunes visualizer nonstop. While working as a print server and an over-all slave providing access to older printers and zip drives, devices and some other home audio/video equipment. The only reason that it is down at the moment is the hinges finally gave up.
If it were my machine I would buy a new HD (assuming you still have the 20GB OE) and an external case for the 2.5" you just removed. I like the Manhattan HD-227-711. It's the best HD case I have ever purchased that expected the least out of as at the time of purchase my purchase decision was based upon "nope only one we got". So either way, even if you maintain the existing internal HD. (adjust the sizes from below and only use 2 partitions 2 OS's 9 and 10.2 or 3 no 10.4) below assumes a 60 GB HD but the bigger the better with OS 10 though.
Insert and start up by install disks that came w/ comp. holding down the "C" key. Open disk utility. from the menu.
Partition the HD into 4 Partitions. HFS+. IMO journaling an internal HD is a moot point on a laptop. I don't journal internal.
Volume 1. 5GB OS 9 with apps (or enough for your apps and some HD space)
Volume 2. 20 GB 10.3.9 with apps. Set this as your start up disk.
Volume 3. 15 GB 10.4 minimum install no apps. other than basic Safari, Preview etc. The only reason I would install 10.4 on this machine is for xGrid.
Volume 4. 20GB+ Documents folder. Default all OS's/Apps to save here.
Give the external to your daughter as her own personal portable storage. If you do swap out you will not lose your data and can recover it by connecting externally. Do not connect a bus powered HD to a system running 10.4.
Now you have a machine that will cover a wide area of apps and devices. I use a few graphics apps the weren't too cheap I only use them about 10-20 times a year, they never warranted an upgrade to 10 and work perfectly for what I need. The G3 is the only machine I still use w/ SCSI port. Own any older QT pro keys? Virtual PC? This is a great way to maintain compatibility w/ older file formats. Now you should be able to open run anything that comes your way without having to buy anything "new" to support "legacy" (older) products.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated. How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated? In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

anybody knows how long takes the proxy client generation process?

I have this issue also, with images from my D70 (~6 megapixels) ... no solution, except that when it happens, quitting and re-launching Aperture seems to clear it up for a while, at least until it happens again.
Given that you have almost twice the RAM and four times the CPU cores that I have, I suspect this is a software issue, and not one of insufficient hardware resources. :-)

I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies. I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies. What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies. I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies. What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

Try resetting the printing system.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

It's stays in the "deleting" but I can't cancel it or close the window.
What can I do?

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

Mappings never ends

Dear All,
We are using 10.2 version of OWB and we have around 80 mappings in one module daily we are running the mappings parallel through control center for the time consuming (manually). but one mapping still running normally it takes 1:30 to 2:00 hrs time to finish but some times it is taken almost 5 to 6 hrs some times it never end. at that situation we stopped the mapping.but while we check the target table data is coming perfect.
Let me know the cause of this and how to salve it.
Thanks,

Hi,
When you kill the mapping from the Control Center the DB session which was triggered by mapping won't kill , you may see the session still running from Session Browser or any other way. This may be the reason you see the data in the Target table. to test this you may start regular running mapping and kill it from CC and observe the session from Database and you may see the data in the target table too.
This may be one possibility. I am not saying what others say is wrong . I had experienced this issue before and i had to tune my code to get the mapping run consistent.
