Can't stop starting up in safe mode

My refurb 12" iBook was slowing down to a crawl so I booted up from the OS Tiger disk and ran disk utility, aparently with no problems to be fixed.
After that I tried to reboot with no success, stalling out at the blue screen. I then began to follow the posted instructions for what to do if you get stuck at the blue screen. I can start up in Single-User mode, ran fsck and again, no apparent problems.
I try to boot up in Safe Mode, I get to the log in screen, enter my password, and then I go back to the blue screen for about 20 seconds before it returns me to the login screen again, looking for a password. This goes on forever.
Now I can only boot up in Safe Mode, even if I don't touch any keys during startup. I can get back to Single-User mode or boot up from the OS X disk again.
Help. I don't know what to do next.

Jay:
Have your tried force restarting (Command + Ctrl as you hit Power Button)? If you get it to restart go to View Menu in Finder and select Show View Options. Select checkbox Keep Arranged by Name. Close dialog box.
Select as many of the Music files as you can, Open iTunes, drag into iTunes list. Hide iTunes (Command + H) select Music, show iTunes again and so forth.
Hope this works for you.
Good luck.

  • Can't Start Up in Safe Mode

    I've followed the directions here 8 times now:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
    I've tried it with various timing alterations, and I just can't seem to get started up in safe mode.
    Any clue what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    Okay, I solved my own problem. Figured I'd post it here, just in case it might help someone else. Though, it probably won't. My set-up is pretty rare.
    My keyboard isn't plugged into my computer. It's plugged into my monitor, which has 4 USB ports. Evidently, those USB ports don't get loaded until too late in the start-up process, for me to take advantage of start-up commands.
    When I plugged the keyboard directly into the computer, it worked fine.

    My mac doesnt start. All i get is the gray screen with the apple and the loading icon but nothing more happens. I tried to start it in safe mode but it doesnt help. What can i do?

    If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key.  If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable.  If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
    good luck.

  • Help: Can't start up in Safe Mode!

    I'm trying to fire up in Safe Mode to do a few Spotlight housekeeping tasks but my Mac won't have it. When I try start up Safe it gets no further than the Grey Apple Logo and spinning wheel. After a short while the fans spin up to full speed and nothing else happens. I have to force the Mac to shut down and I can then start up again normally.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated as there may come a time when I NEED to start up in Safe Mode.
    Thanks in advance. Derek.

    Hi-
    Might want to try a Single User mode boot (command +s) and run fsck.
    -Startup in Single User mode.
    -At the command-line prompt, type */sbin/fsck -fy*. Press Return.
    fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK
    -If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command again, until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    -When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    -Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.
    After this, try a Safe mode boot, again.
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

  • Macbook Pro can only start up in safe mode

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro has recently been freezing on a blue screen when I try and start up. I seem to only be able to start up in safe mode.
    I have followed some instructions found regarding the blue screen issue: deleting some files out of library/startupitems folder
    and managed to start up normally once, then soon after I got a message saying I need to restart my computer by holding down the power button.
    I am now back to having to log in using safe mode.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
    resetpassword
    Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.

  • I can't: mount disks / go to Safe Mode

    So, I wake up the other day, turn on my PowerBook G4 and my external disk G-Drive Q 250 GB only to find that it didn't mount. I turn my G-Drive off, disconnect it from FireWire 800, turn it back on, plug the cable in, and nothing happens. Then, I open Disk Utility and to my surprise it was there. I click Mount, but no luck.
    A few minutes later I connect my iPod 30 GB (FAT32, enabled disk use) and it doesn't mount either. So, I open Disk Utility again and it's also there. I click Verify Disk - everything OK, both iPod and my G-Drive Q.
    Feeling frustrated I tried going to Safe Mode to see if I can work something out. So, I restart my computer, hold the Shift key, and after the white screen with Apple logo appeared and the gear loading indicator started spinning my PowerBook just turned off. Feeling confused, I turn my PB on again, hold the Shift key and the same thing happens again.
    Some people recommended that I reset my firmware (Command + Option + O + F, reset-nvram, reset-all), but it didn't help. I also tried this - Command + Option + P + R.
    So, can anybody tell me what is going on? I can't believe this is happening when everything worked just fine two days ago. All I can remember is that I installed that Security Update, but that might not be the problem because it was all fine after it. Or maybe not, I really don't know.
    Any advice is appreciated. Let's figure what's it all about.

  • Why does my macbook pro only start up in safe mode?

    Last night i updated my macbook pro, and when it restarted it stopped at the logo with the spinning wheel, and it kept spinning for 20+ minutes. I shut it down by holding the button, and it will not start up again, every time the wheel just keeps spinning. I tried holding down shift, and starting it in safe mode, and that seemed to work. But that is the only way it will boot up, and I am limited to what I can do. How can I start my macbook pro up with out safe mode. I do not have my installation disk with me, and I do not have any of my stuff backed up, but I plan on purchasing a external hard drive within the next week to back up everything, incase I have to wipe my hard drive. But I will only do that at last resort...

    MacBook Pro 3,1  15' 2,2 Core 2 Duo Late 2007.
    I used the same buss speed (667 mhz) and the same type DDR2. Same number of pins.
    I also checked what happened with 0 ram in slots, and then it started blinking constantly.
    So it must see the RAM but the RAM seems useless for some reason...

  • Won't start up from Safe Mode

    Powerbook G4 goes to blue screen during regular start-up. Tried starting it in Safe Mode and it stops on the Apple blue background and won't got any further. I was on Safari earlier and it froze, so I did a hard restart. Now it just stops on one of the blue screens mentioned above. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Donna

    Simon, I had a similar problem after restarting (after a software update), resulting in the dreaded blue screen:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=450601&tstart=0
    I've since 'zero-ed' the disk and am now back to square -1 on Jaguar until I find my Panther disk!
    Although my problem was a drive error, you can still try some of the fixes that should work, e.g try repairing disk permissions using disk utility, i.e before taking the drastic measures I finally had to take.
    Good luck

    And will not start up in safe mode. I have reset PRAM and SMC. Also restarted with no startup items, no luck. Had the problem of waking from sleep and not shutting down in 10.7, updated to 10.8 hoping for fix, no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi, this log has some similarities to my ipod touch which seems to be not sleeping properly due to wireless issues. Can I check - are you using a wifi connection - if so have you tried ethernet?

  • My MB is always starting up in safe mode... why? What to do to start-up normally? Please help.

    Hi,
    I am frequently having troubles with my MB. Different types of troubles. Couldn't solve a single one yet.
    I have performed reboot MB in safe mode-- hold down the left shift key after the start up tone till the spinning gear appeared.
    Few hours back i performed that, and since then it just starting up in safe mode without holding the any shift key. I have password protected log-in and each time the dialog box shown the safe mode, not the normal boot as it used to be. I restarted so many times, but same result.
    I started-up by holding down the Option key, dialog box showing the same thing "safe mode" and same result.
    I started-up in single user mode, and then typed reboot, then pressed enter/return button, but dialog box shown the same and it started up in safe mode after entering the password.
    While in the safe mode, i have selected the Mac OS X 10.4.11 from the preference pane, then restarted, but all produced the same result, same dialog box showing the safe mode.
    I couldn't take the screen shot of that dialog box that appears before starting up.
    I am currently using the internet while in safe mode, and using ethernet adapter- a AirStream 1100 F25 external modem attached to the USB port. I don't know if that is good for my MB to use internet on the safe mode.
    I used disk utility and verified the disk during the safe mode, i don't know if that is right or wrong to perform that utility in safe mode, but it all appeared as normal. You can see that from the following image.
    Few days back, i performed the disk utility to verify disk while on the normal boot. But the result shown the red marks, please see the following image for details.

    Please help me out. Let me know how to start-up normally. By the way, my superdrive is not detecting DVDs including the OS dvds, but it read and write the CDs. So, It is not possible to reinstall OS early, at least not before the having the back up of the data. Please help me with contingency plan/s or as you think fit.
    Thank you. Look forward to your reply.

    Maximillianmann,
    depending upon how full “almost full” actually is, that could be the problem.
    You can try this, if you have Mac OS X 10.7 or newer installed, to see if it’s not related to your disk being almost full: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Once you hear the startup chime, try booting into Safe mode; does it let you do so now?

  • Updated. See 3 new Qs at bottom...After XP system restore back to earlier FF version, FF won't open, it's in safe mode. How can it be opened out of safe mode? Can precious, previous History be retreived?

    THIS IS A RE-POST OF THE QUESTIONS previously posted, PREVIOUSLY POSTED, now adding a request that 3 new summary questions--at the bottom--be answered.
    NOTE: I specifically need answers to the 3 new, summary Qs now posted at the bottom of the Sequence of Events:
    Sequence of events:
    1) I was using Version 3.6.22 and I needed to
    upgrade to Version 6.0.
    2) Before beginning, I set a restore point in Windows XP so that in case I did not like 6.0, I could go back to the restore point which contained
    3.6.22 and I would stick with that version.
    3) I did not uninstall 3.6.22 but loaded 6.0 on top of it, so to speak, thinking that would save my history and other features such as bookmarks. Opening 6.0 I was horrified to see it did not contain my history files!...so I had to go back to 3.6.22.
    4) After returning back to the restore point that contained 3.6.22, on the desktop, clicking on the Firefox icon, it won't open.
    5) I went to desktop, in lower left clicked Start, then clicked Programs, and yes Firefox is there as an installed program, however the tag reads Mozilla Firefox (safe mode)...so it's in safe mode and won't
    open. What now?---~~~~~(end of original post).
    HERE ARE THE EXACT 3 Qs I need answered:
    1) Can I retreive and save MY PRECIOUS HISTORY from somewhere? Can I force new 6.0 to find and retreive it from 3.6.22) And how would I do that? That's the reason I'm trying to go back to 3.6.22, because it likely still contains my history which does not appear in new install of 6.0?
    2) As it stands, go back to previous state now has Firefox 3.6.22 in safe mode. It won't open after XP went back to previous state containing 3.6.22. File tree says Firefox is installed but is now in safe mode. So Q2 is: Can I open Firefox out of safe mode and if so how?--I'd be done because it likely still contains my history.
    And if not, can I get retreive my history from it somehow? Or somehow get 6.0 to rediscover it hidden somewhere (Show All History in new 6.0 install was empty).
    3) Do I have to give up on retreiving my history even though it's got to be somewhere in my computer? I did not uninstall anything.
    If my history cannot be retreived, then I have no choice but to proceed in life with 6.0 without my precious History, a huge store of info and loss of data for me, big time!
    FIREFOX HELP NEEDS TO TELL PEOPLE HOW TO SAVE THEIR HISTORY WHEN THEY UPGRADE TO NEW VERSION and whether or not to uninstall previous FF version first. Please pass this urgent advice on to Firefox techs. I can't even figure out how to email THEM!!!!
    Thank you all out there in cyberspace whereever you may be!
    (P.S. Cor el, thanks for your reply...how do I reach you by email link does not work....)

    What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
    You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page or via extensions.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
    Do a clean reinstall of the version that you want to use.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    *Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Is there a way to change the hotkey for starting firefox in safe-mode?

    The current default hotkey is shift. Holding it when starting firefox will start it in safe mode (true story). My super duper favorite handy windows hotkey for starting programs pinned to the task bar in windows 7 is windows_key + shift + #, and that conflicts with the firefox setting, and i always end up starting firefox in safe mode because im that lazy.

    Greetings!
    I'm an irssi user, and I have awesome mouse gesture addon for it, and I'm afraid I can't live without it anymore.. But it requires Shift key for opening links, therefore Firefox, as my default browser, always starts in Safe mode :(
    I'm not a programmer, easiest workaround would be modifying the irssi addon, but I suck on that, too.
    If there's a way to bypass Safe Mode in Firefox, or at least a way to change the Shift key to something else, that would make my miserable life a tad easier.

  • HT1752 my powerbook g4 will not boot up. i get a blue screen. i have tried to start up in safe mode, but get the same blue screen.

    My Powerbook G4 (with Snow Leopard operating system) will not boot up, I get a blue screen. I have tried to start up in safe mode by holding down shift key after startup tone, but end up with same result...blue screen. I need important photos and documents of this laptop, Even if I can just get it started up one more time. Need help fast! If you know what to do, please message back.

    In the text you say you are using Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will not operate on a G4 (or any Mac with a PowerPC processor). Leopard OS 10.5 is the max OS for PowerPC processor Macs. Your profile shows OS 10.5.6. What OS are you using (or trying to use)?
    Will the PB boot using a systen install DVD?
