BootCache.playlist not found my mac, won't start up

After installing BootCamp, my mac would get stuck on the grey bootscreen. After booting into verbose mode, I discovered that the bootcache.playlist was missing. I tried manually generating it in single usermode, but was given the error no blocks found. What can I do?

  • Iphone "playlist not found in source 'iPhone'"

    Ok, I don't know when this started, but it's been going on for a while and I am finally trying to figure it out.
    When I dock my iPhone(s) to sync with itunes, a little black window pops up in the corner that says something like 'ipod has been detected, all track plays will be queued until iphone is ejected'. Then it syncs. Then at the end it says 'ipod sync complete. playlist not found in source iPhone'
    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???
    I figured it was a problem with smart playlists and live-updating playlists being in my iTunes but unable to sync to the iphone- because there are a few smart playlists that are set in itunes to sync with my 3G, but do not actually appear on the phone. So- I deleted ALL MUSIC from my iPhone.
    It STILL gives me this message. There is no playlist to BE found! I checked- in itunes the iphone is listed as having no synced playlists. And when i open the ipod app on the iphone there is no music (i'd thought maybe it was some wonky playlist on the iphone that couldn't sync back.)
    Then I tried adding 2 simple playlists. Not smart playlists. Not updating playlists. Just a couple little 20 song playlists.
    And it still gives me that message.
    It happens with my old iPhone, and my 3G.
    I have 3.1.3 on the 3G, 2.2 on the iphone. 10.6.2 on my iMac, and itunes 9.0.3.
    Help!!

    NOT answered, but no one replied.
    Thanks for all the help, everyone.

  • Every other day, my mac won't start up

    every other day, my mac won't start up. my keyboard would light up and i hear the system start but nothing is appearing in the screen. i would have to press the start button until the screen actually shows up.. why does it do that?

    Have you just tried repairing with Disk Utility?
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • My mac won't start up it keeps on chiming tried o

    My mac won't start had a power cut and now all it does is chimes.
    Tried to press options and c but still continues to chime

    You could try the ol SMC reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

    If it still does not work, Restart using your 10.5 Install DVD as the boot volume holding down C from chime sound to apple logo appearance, then after selecting your language from the menu bar go to Utilities > Disk Utilities, and run Repair Disk on your Mac's HDD. Afterwards, exit DU, exit Install, restart normally.

  • I Mac won't start -- we get apple logo with spinning wheel, question mark that disappears and then a blank blue screen

    My daughter's old I Mac won't start. It is not backed up.  We want to get some things off of it if we can.  
    When we turn it on, we get the Apple logo with spinning wheel for awhile, then a question mark briefly and then a sky blue blank screen.  Is there any hope of getting this to work?  This computer is out of warranty.  Does it seem that if we reinstall the Operating System we might find old data?  

    First try restarting with the original install disc an run Disk Utility to repair the drive. If you have to re install the OS make sure you select archive and install or else everything will be lost.

  • Mac won't start after failed OS upgrade

    I attempted to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard using an installation disc. The installion failed and now my mac won't start. It hangs on the apple logo screen for about 2 minutes then dies. I've tried booting from the disc and using the repair disk utility but I get an error saying the disk can't be repaired and instructing me to back up my files and erase the disk. Problem is, I can't get to my files because all I can do is boot from the disc drive. Can anyone suggest a way get the installion to work, or a way to back up my files?
    iMac is 3 years old, 4 Gb ram and 2.66 Gh processor
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Possibly we can save some of the files.
    When booted from the Install Disc...
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    Hopefully you have another external drive and can Image the whole internal drive to an external.

  • Mac won't start up and shows grey screen

    My mac won't start up this morning ? It has a full charge of battery and even plugged in it just shows the grey screen. Any help.

    Please restart your Mac and hold the 'Option'-key to see your start-up discs. If you do not see any start-up discs it could be your hard disk cable that is faulty. This is a common problem with Macbooks, but I am not sure this issue has been fixed with the Retina models. I've had this problem with my 2012 Pro, and a new cable did the job. Very easy to do yourself!
    You can also start Internet Recovery (need wifi or cable) and start up Disk Utilities to see if your hard disk shows up there.
    Please let me know.

  • Mac won't start (Kernel Panics)

    Hello,
    My mac won't start up. It turns on, gets as far as the spinning circle and apple logo then a dark screen comes down with a Kernel Panic message. This occurred roughly three months ago and I ended up taking the mac into the regent street store where it was fixed under apple care warranty. My care has now run out, and the 90 day repair warranty has expired but the problem is back so obviously hasn't been fixed properly. Is there anything that can be done about this?
    Every time I boot up the computer the message appears, I have tried rebooting with the safe option as well as re installing OSX from the original disks. The install completes successfully but upon restart it pops up with the original kernel panic message.
    Luckily I have everything backed up so am prepared to try anything to get it running.
    Thanks.

    Let us know, but since you obviously have another machine, have you tried Target Disk Mode and then Disk Utility?
    use TDM to access Disk Utility.
    1. Click the First Aid tab.
    2. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    3. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    4. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Please post back,

  • Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier)

    I just got off the phone with an AppleCare agent. My iBook OS 10.4 wouldn't start - it just went to a blue screen. I'm happy to say that the agent got everthing working again and said that she would email me an article that would help if it ever happens again. She emailed me "Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier)" I have 10.4, is this article any use for me or was I emailed the wrong articel. Is there an article "Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X 10.4 or later)"????

    Thank you for yoiur response. I'll click on that link and add my input..
    Don't be put off by the title. The document's just as
    valid for Tiger, especially if those are the same
    steps that fixed your problem. The article was
    revised Feb 2006 and someone forgot to update it to
    mention Tiger. Go to
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
    , click on the It's good, but... link and
    tell them it should be updated to include a reference
    to Tiger.

  • TS1411 My Mac won't start

    My Mac won't start. I have tried all trouble shooting things like unplug and plug into a different power point. If I leave finger on start button, can sometimes get internal fan to attempt to start then stops. Please help. My computer is less than two years old.

    Then, it's time for a trip to an Apple repair station.

    Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Patrick,
    Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

  • Mac won't start blinking folder with ?

    Hello have a question, my mac won t start, it appears a folder with a ? Inside....can anybody help me.....

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • Class Not Found Exception - applet won't run anywhere outside of IDE

    I have an applet that runs perfectly in the netbeans IDE, but won't run from command prompt (I'm using windows) or from a browser. I've been banging my head against the wall for a few days on this one. Here's the HTML I'm using:
    <applet width="400" height="525" code="musicapplet.class" archive="crypticgraffiti.jar">
    <param name="bgcolor" value="ffffff"> <param name="fontcolor" value="000000">

    Here is the structure of the jar file's contents:
    META-INF/
    META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    com/
    com/crypticgraffiti/
    com/crypticgraffiti/music/musicapplet
    com/crypticgraffiti/music/GetNotes.class

    com/crypticgraffiti/music/Phrase.class
    musicapplet/MusicApplet$playerThread.class
    musicapplet/MusicApplet.class
    (Musicapplet.class is the main class)
    When I attempt to run from command prompt, I get:
    "Error: Could not find or load main class crypticgraffiti.MusicApplet"
    When I attempt to load via html:
    "basic: load: class musicapplet.class not found.
    load: class musicapplet.class not found.
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: musicapplet.class

    Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: musicapplet.class
    security: Accessing keys and certificate in Mozilla user profile: null"
    I have tried every possible variation for the 'code' element of the applet tag (package.mainclass.class, mainclass, mainclass.class, etc). I have also tried compiling with JDK 1.6 and this didn't change anything. I've tried clearing out the cache of temporary files using the java control panel settings, and have verified that my browser can run other applets using JRE 6 and 7.
    I've tried some different ways of distributing the applet, also: putting all the class files in the folder with the html file, putting the classes in a source folder in the same folder as the html file, and finally putting a jar in the same folder as the html file (which really seems the simplest).
    Any help at all would be most appreciated! This applet is a very cool and original music creating app that draws heavily on the JFugue API. It's a shame that I can't get it online for people to play with!

    Please note that class names are case sensitive so "MusicApplet" is not same as "Musicapplet" or "musicapplet". Your applet tag should have fully qualified class name (without quotes) and should look like this:
    <applet width=400 height=525 code=musicapplet.MusicApplet archive="crypticgraffiti.jar">
    </applet>
    The JAR should be in the same directory as your HTML file. While launching from command line, you can also check if your JAR file is getting included in classpath.
