Can't use macbook after installing 10.7.5

Yesterday I upgraded to 10.7.5 and today I can't use my macbook pro. It doesn't go past the start up screen. I can't use the curser. It's just sits there. I forced it to restart and the same issue occurs. Can someone please suggest what to do? I see others are having problems with the upgrade.

I booted from the Lion recovery partition (hold down option at startup), then did restore from Time Machine. Took a whole day, as it erases the drive and then writes everything back over it again. Thought about reinstalling Lion from scratch, but if it installs 10.7.5 again then I will probably end up with the same problem and it will take a long time to find out. I am back on 10.7.4 now and everything is working fine. Not sure what to do, I may eventually try an upgrade to Mountain Lion and skip 10.7.5. This is the first time I have ever had a major problem with a system update.
I'm at a loss to figure out how to diagnose the problem, as the boot never gets far enough for me to access anything like console logs that might shed some light on what is going on. But I have wasted two days on this already so for the moment I am going to give up and just stay with 10.7.4.

Can I use macbook pro install Disk with macbook?

Hi everyone,
I have a macbook and macbook pro, I had to reinstall system after harddrive went on the macbook. I can't find my macbook restore disks/installation disks. Would I be able to use the macbook pro install disks with macbook?
Much appreciate your help.
Mo

It might work but it's risky. The MBP installation disks may well not contain the right drivers for the MacBook. It would be better, if at all possible, if you contacted Apple tech support and asked for a new set of disks for your MacBook. They'll send you a set for a reasonable fee. If you can't wait, perhaps there's an Apple Store or other Apple dealer near you that would have a set you could borrow in-store to do the reinstallation.

Can I use MacBook Pro install disc for boot disk on Macbook 4,1?

Hi,
I have a White MacBook 4,1 running OSX 10.5.8. I'm trying to clone my HD and ran into a filesystem error. Ran Disc Utility and had same errors. Now I need to run Disc Utility from Bootdisc but I can't find it. I do however have my newer DVD from my 13" MBP with 10.6.7. Can I use this to boot from and run disc utility to fix error?
If not, any suggestions?
Thanks
Frank

[solved] Texlive: Can't use kpfonts after installing extrafonts

I've just installed texlive-extrafonts but I can't use kpfonts.
I've created a dummy file like this:

Can't use Thunderbird after installing 31.3.0

I just installed Thunderbird 31.3.0 yesterday and after it restarted, I was unable to use it. The TB window stuttered, and the menu bar disappeared until I moved the window. I am unable to select any mailbox or account to read the emails. I am still able to get my email, but the part that usually shows how many unread emails are available is missing, until I click on it, then it appears momentarily.
I am able to restart TB in safe mode and everything works. The safe mode start up says that I can make all or some of the choices permanent, and when I try to disable all add ons, then make changes and restart, I still get the stuttering. It also happens when I choose the other option (reset toolbars and controls). I tried to make the changes permanent, but that doesn't work either. The only thing that works is for me to work in safe mode.

I am battling my own ignorance here, but if you can not save changes that indicates the use of the operating system safe mode. Try the following:
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
Start Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). Make setting permanent

Can I use my iMac Install Disc on Macbook Pro?

Hi, all. I was given a friend's old Macbook Pro and I'd like to put Boot Camp on it, but the Boot Camp instructions say I need an OSX Leopard install disc to do it. Naturally, I just recently purged my own software binder and threw away all of my OSX discs except the one that came with iMac I recently purchased. "Why would I need them any more?" said I. Doh.
I have no idea what cat Apple is up to now, but the Macbook is running 10.5.8 and the install disc from my iMac is 10.6.7. My questions:
1) Can I use my iMac install disc on my Macbook Pro, which is about 3-4 years old?
2) Does OS 10.6.7 qualify as Leopard? If not, will it work for what I'm trying to do?
3) Do I need to update the Macbook OS to 10.6.7 to be able to use that disc for the Boot Camp install?
Any information or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

The only thing I'd add to this is that at one point in time you could go to an Apple store and purchase Lion on a USB stick.
If your MBP was compatible and you could find one of those you could boot to it, install from it then setup bootcamp.
Also if you are thinking bootcamp, also consider VMWare Fusion or Parallels which allow you to run Windows while still in OS X.

If you need to extract the drive's content you can remove it and install it in a $10 USB enclosure. It will be readable by any recent Mac.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP

Hi,
I have been using Eclipse SDK Version: 3.1.2 Build id: M20060118-1600 and Web Tools Project 1.0.2 and Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5 for about 2 months with no problems. But now I Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP plug-in. I get "Server Tomcat v5.0 @ localhost failed to start". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I installed BEA Workshop for JSP Version: 3.1.0
Build id: 536. I only wanted to install the plug-in to my existng Eclipse 3.1 / WTP application. The only option that I saw was to download the entire FullWorkshopFreeInstall-536.zip, which is 192,496 KB. During the installation, there is a screen that you can specify to only install the plug-in - and I selected that option. Today, I chose to uninstall the BEA Workshop for JSP and then I was again able to start Tomcat server. I then did a complete install of BEA Workshop for JSP into a totally separate location. My original Eclipse installation still works fine, but my Workshop for JSP Version (which is now a completely new installation) has the same problem with Tomcat that I reported with the plug-in. I am using j2sdk1.4.2_08 and have tried both Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5. I have the same problem with both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional.
Thanks for your assistance.

Can't Start Portal After Install

After downloading and installing the of evaluation Portal 4.0 SP1, I get the following message upon startup when I enter the system password that I entered during installation:

I even tried "weblogic" for the system password and I get the same message.
What password should I use to start the server?

I've followed the directions and am experiencing the exact same problem. Brand
new installation of Weblogic server 6.1 SP2 with examples. That install is working.
Then added Portal 4.0 SP1, updated the license file and I have the same issue
with the Illegal access exception resulting in the "Fatal initialization exception"....
Hmm!

Below listed are the common errors you run into during installation
process:
- You need to have the correct version numbers of both the weblogic
server and the portal server. For instance the portal server 4.0 (eval
copy) will only run on WebLogic 6.1 SP1. So check the edocs for
supported platforms
- Make sure you have the installed the full version of the weblogic
server (including examples)
- Finally, you need to run the UpdateLicense.cmd file to update the
license.bea under ur Bea Root
Give it a shot after u have checked all of the above three - goodluck

Aperture is Apples version of Lightroom. This has nothing to do with Adobe. Ask on a Apple forum. You won't find many people here using this program.

Can I use AAMEE to install FrameMaker 11?

Can I use AAMEE to install FrameMaker 11? We are starting to use fm11 in our company. I have a volume license, but when I install it want's me to go out to the adobe site and register. This is not going to work for a few reason s so I stumpled upon AAMEE and it let me build a package authenticating with my volume license and my adobe id. Looked great... Until I tried an install. Starts the install and then just exists. Should I be able to use AAMEE this way?
Thanks, Mike

Thanks Jeff... I'm not really interested in managed silent installs. Just have installs that are not network connected as well as short projects where it is installed and then uninstalled in a few weeks. So registering individuals does not make a lot of sense. Anyone done this? Our current fm8 installs have an option to skip registration whereas fm11 does not.

Is the 10.5.8 Drive also PPC?
Try Verify Disk first if so.
You might be better of trying this...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...
