Classic attempts to start up unsuccessfully

Every time I boot up my eMac it attempts to start up Classic which has gone missing. In the Classic Preference pane the option 'Start Classic when you log in' is checked and greyed out so it can't be deselected. How can I prevent Classic from attempting to launch at startup? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Hans

Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and check whether any of the items in the list of login items for your account need Classic to run; this includes Classic applications, AppleScripts which issue commands to the Classic environment, and documents for which the default application runs in Classic.

  • Classic Won't Start from OS 10.2.8

    Hello all,
    I am having a problem with one of the machines in my office. Classic just won't start. I tried rebuilding the desktop and repairing permission but, to no avail. I can restart the machine from the OS 9 folder wihout a problem but from OS X classic will attempt to start and then hang. No startup screen nothing.
    In a word....HELP.
    Thanks

    OK this isn't a permenent fix but it will work so you can open up Classic Applications and Files.
    1. Go into System Preferences.
    2. Under the System Section click the Classic Button.
    3. In this window that comes up click the Advanced Tab at the top.
    4. Inthe drop down select it to "Turn Off Extensions"
    5. Now click "Start Classic"
    It should start up fully and now you can go about opening any Classic files or Applications.

  • ILOST MY PHOTOS ON IPOD CLASSIC AFTER I START SYNC THEM ON ITUNNES

    ILOST MY PHOTOS ON IPOD CLASSIC AFTER I START SYNC THEM ON ITUNNES AND IT GIVES THIS MASAGE
    IT SAYS pHOTOS FOLDER SYNCING HAS BEEN DISABLED FOR T IPOD BECAUSE THE FOLDER " XX" CAN NOT BE FOUND
    AND AFTER THAT I DID NOT SEE MY PHOTOS ON IPOD

    Is the computer that you allowed the iPod to Sync with the same one that you originally synced with, or a different one?
    If it is the same computer, then the photos should still be on the computer. So once again, what happened to the photos folder that was on the computer?
    If it is a different computer, then I think iTunes has removed the photos, along with the music.
    You can only Sync an iPod with one iTunes Library. If you attempt to Sync with a second computer, iTunes will warn you that everything will be removed from the iPod and only content from the second Library will be on the iPod.

  • Emac tried to start then stopped, finally after 3 attempts it started

    After a hard drive failure i run my emac on an external hard drive through a fire wire.
    That worked OK till yesterday when it tried to start but after a few seconds of the normal fan noise and before the screen lit up, it stopped. I hit the switch again and it did the same thing 3 times but on the 4th attempt it started but a white screen came on and told me to type "mac-boot" and hit return.
    It finally started.
    The external hard drive was still running OK at the time it had stopped, it was internally that it had stopped.
    I took the back off the emac and vacuumed the dust from inside and after that it has since started normally every time though it seems slower to start, but I could be mistaken about that as I can't now remember noticing how long it took to start before.
    Someone said the problem could be the power supply failing.
    Is there any way for me to diagnose what exactly is wrong, since an emac power supply is not same as a PC power supply?
    Could a PC power supply be modified to replace the emac power supply as I have a failed PC with a good power supply I could use if it would work?
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hello and thanks for your reply.
    I neglected to mention that at the time of the hard disk failure I put a new hard disk inside too with the intention of using it as a back up to the External Hard Drive but I found it was easier in the end to get another external hard drive and now I use Time Machine to back up on to that 2nd external hard drive every few days.
    I disconnect the 2nd external hard drive when I'm not backing up data on to it.
    Most of the time when I boot up the emac it somehow knows to go straight to the 1st External Hard Drive instead of the Internal Hard Drive but occasionally it will go to the Internal Hard Drive and when it does that I have to go to System Preferences and then to Startup Disk and actually select the External Hard Drive icon and that's what I had to do every time when it was having that weird starting then stopping phase, ie, every time during the starting then stopping phase, when it did start it went to the Internal Hard Drive even after I would go into Startup Disk and select External Hard Drive it would start on the Internal Hard Drive, so in the end I didn't bother trying any more and I just connected to the internet through the Internal Hard Drive until I took the back off and vacuumed the dust out and ever since I did that it's been running normally, ie, it's always selecting the External Hard Drive again and running at what seems to be normal speed for everything too.
    I just don't know why it went into that starting then stopping phase.
    When it was in the starting then stopping phase the internal fan noise would stop but the little white light next to the DVD door would stay lit up so it was definitely getting some power from somewhere but it was failing to go on and boot up because the power to the internal fan had failed ie, I could clearly hear the fan stop only 3 or 4 seconds after hitting the start button.
    I've just had a look at the capacitors that you suggested and they look perfect, like new in fact, they have a shiny metallic top with a + indented in the top and they are flat and they show no sign of a dried up liquid or any bubbling up anywhere.
    Anyway, your reply was helpful since you ruled out the Power Supply and the capacitors, so thank you for those.
    The friend who advised me how to get going again after the initial hard disk failure, ie, via the External Hard Drive connected by fire wire, did warn me not to touch anything in the back that wasn't directly related to changing the hard drive but thanks for the heads up anyway.

  • Classic won't start up PLEASE HELP!!!

    I am using OS X on a powerbook G4 and classic will not start up. THe status bar comes on but does not move, it remains in the same postion, not freezing.
    I have left it for over an hour and still nothing...
    Does anyone have advice on why classic is not starting up?

    I don't know for sure, but it may be an extensions conflict. Did you change anything in the System Folder lately.
    If you go to the Advanced tab in the System Preferences Classic panel, you should see an option to start Classic with extension off. If that works, you'll have to do some detective work to figure out which non-Apple extension is causing the problem.
    If you only use Classic under Mac OS X (you don't boot directly into Mac OS 9 anymore) there are ways to optimize Classic System Folder. If you do a Google search on "optimize classic mac" you should see some web sites. The one on LowEndMac.com is here.
    http://www.lowendmac.com/practical/02/0507.html
    You can also create a separate "for Classic under Mac OS X only" System Folder (and put it anywhere, even on a disk image), if you want to keep a bootable "fully enabled" System Folder.

  • Hi,  iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.   Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos

    Hi,
    iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.
    Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos on my iPhone, iTunes won't sync ANY photos from iPhoto back to my iPhone. I've restarted my phone, computer, etc., force quit all photo-related apps on my iPhone, and tried various combinations of turning iTunes' photo syncing on/off, switching photo sync folders, etc., all to no avail -- I can't get my iPhoto library back on to my iPhone no matter what I do.
    Anyone encounter a similar situation? (I've already sent feedback to Apple.) Thanks in advance.

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

  • Get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | fl gives errors "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for". DB is mounted and the DB copies are in healthy status.

    We are getting a SCOM alert " Database copy isn''''t keeping up with the changes on the active database copy and has failed."
    When we go to the mailbox server and check we found all the Mailbox DB's are mounted properly and their copies are in healthy state. Further digging to this problem we found that there are no critical events to this DB in the eventviewer.
    When we runt he get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | Fl then in the ErrorMessage section we get error "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for . If the copy doesn't
    recover automatically, administrator intervention may be necessary. Error: The directory is not empty."
    ErrorEventID : 4126
    In the event viewer we get a Information event 4114 saying the DB redundancy health check passed and in the details section we get the same error message mentioned above.
    Also we observed that the "MSExchange Replication" counter "Failed" is set to 1 for this perticular DB but is is set to 0 for the other DB's. Tried restarting the MSEXChange replication service but still the "Failed" counter
    is 1 and the SCOM alert is still active.
    The version is Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5
    Any clues???

    Hi,
    From your description, this issue only affect one mailbox datatabase.
    Please use the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command to check result.
    If it doesn't work, please dismount your active database copy and check if this is Clean Shutdown, if it's dirty shutdown, please bring to clean shutdown and mount this database copy. Then run the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command again to check result.

    Itunes will no longer work on my Windows 8 PC. When I attempt to start the program a message says: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  I have tried to uninstall iTunes but the Windows uninstaller will not delete the program I get a message that says: A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi.  How do I get iTunes to work again?

    Whentrying to uninstall iTunes (the first program that must be uninstalled per the instructions) I get a message:  A network error occurred while attempting to read file: C:\Windows|Installer|iTunes.msi. I can't even uninstall iTunes?
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • OMS 9.2.0 on HP-UX11i terminates to VXA-2019 when attempting to start

    Hi,
    I've installed 9.2.0 on HP-UX 11i and created an instance using dbca taking the defaults. Next I created the OMS repository in this instance. There were no errors with either installation.
    When I initially received the these errors (see "oms.nohup" log below) I created public rollback segments in a tablespace other than system after researching the errors in Metalink. But even after adding the rollback segments when I attempt to start OMS I continue to get the following in the "oms.nohup" log. Has anyone seen/solved this error before?
    Thanks,

  • Classic won't start, can't upgrade, and other problems...

    There's something not quite right with my Mac, and I can't quite pinpoint it. Because of this, I'm not even certain I'm posting this in the right forum! Here's the situation:
    I have a PowerMac G4, upgraded with a an extra hard drive, an ATI Radeon Pro graphics card, a Sonnet Duet G4 Dual 1.8GHz processor, and (as of today, prior to this 10.4.7) am running OSX 10.4.8.
    When I got the machine, it came with OS 9.1 installed. I later upgraded to 9.2.2, and then eventually to OSX. My Classic system folder stayed at 9.2.2
    About 10 days ago I installed the Sonnet processor upgrade. In order to do so, I had to rejig my system a bit, as the installer for the upgrade only works in 9.2 and not Classic (yeah, bad call on Sonnet's part).
    I partitioned my Back-Up drive, and installed 9.2 on it, installed the software for the processor, and then the processor itself. After checking everything worked, I then unpartitioned my Back-Up drive and removed OS9.2.
    Although the processor works fine, and has doubled the speed of most tasks, ever since it was installed, I have been prone to crashes. Most often when working with large files in various applications such as Photoshop.
    Also, Classic won't start now. I hardly ever use Classic these days, only for one or two tiny programs I could live without, but the fact that it refuses to start is niggling me. I reinstalled OS9.1 from my original disk, and now I can't upgrade to 9.2: all that happens is I get a message saying that I have 9.1 and that it is recommended I upgrade to 9.2! But Classic won't open, so I can't upgrade to 9.2.
    The next thing that's started happening is that my broadband connection keeps dropping. This never happened before. This is happening so frequently it's really annoying; the only thing that cures it is a restart, but restarting 10 times a day isn't funny. I'm using an Alcatel Speedtouch ADSL modem. This has worked fine for over a year.
    Yesterday I tried setting up a wireless connection with a Belkin router, replacing my USB modem, so my wife can use her Windows laptop to surf from the same broadband connection (my Mac doesn't need to be wireless enabled itself). But this hasn't worked, even though we followed the instruction manual exactly. I suspect that the reason this hasn't worked was because of the underlying problem on my Mac, whatever it is. I've gone back to using the Speedtouch modem to connect to the internet for now.
    I've just today done a complete system reinstall of OSX 10.4, and downloaded the upgrade to 10.4.8, in an effort to solve this. Unfortunately, my Mac still seems to be in the same state and it hasn't solved anything. Classic still won't open, the connection still keeps dropping, and I'm almost at the point of kicking the **** thing through a window! Please, has anyone got any bright ideas? I don't know where to start....
    G4 Digital Audio   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi, thanks for responding.
    I've made a couple of changes, double-checked everything, and I have to say that now 10.4.8 has been on my machine for a few days, it's a lot more stable. No crashes. Maybe it just needed to "settle in", ha ha. I also got a router and went wireless, something I needed to do so my wife could use her laptop to get online. This seems to have solved the connection dropping.
    So the only thing left is not being able to open Classic. I think maybe you're right, and the new processor doesn't like Classic. But, to tell the truth, I hardly ever use Classic anymore, and I can live without it. So I think I'll leave everything as it is for now, unless something major happens. I spent nearly £500 on the processor upgrade, and it has doubled the speed of my Mac: I really don't want to have to take it out:-)

  • Attempt to start transaction on SQL server

    I have managed to successfully configure Oracle 8.1.7 on NT to retrieve data from a MS
    SQL Server (version 6.5)
    However, one of the databases we are accessing is set up as read only; Oracle is
    attempting a start transaction, as it recognises that the SQL server can take
    part in distributed transaction. I am doing something like
    insert into mytable (a, b, c) select a, b, c from remote_table@sql_server
    Because the SQL Server is in read-only mode, the 'start transaction' fails,
    and the insert statement fails as a whole (I've examined the trace file, and the
    error I'm getting is reproducable on the SQL server if I type it in)
    I've tried looking at the data dictionary, and sure enough it is set up for
    2 phase commit as per the documentation.
    My question is, can I tell Oracle to not attempt the 'start transaction' on the
    remote system? I've tried various DBMS_HS calls but to no avail (from the
    documentation I believe the agent overrides the data dictionary entries anyway)
    Thanks,
