Computer Hangs at Startup after Tiger Install

Hello !
I've tried to install
Tiger on my regular Desktop Computer. Everything seemed to be going okay. It finished
loading and then told me it was going to restart. Upon restart the apple icon appeared and
then the little rotating disc below the icon. After about three minutes the Apple Icon disappeared and was
replaced with the symbol of a circle with a line through it. As it was in the same gray as the apple icon so
I wasn't sure if it was part of the restarting process or not. When the screen persisted for another ten minutes
I decided to leave the computer on over night to see what the morning would bring. The screen was still the
same in the am. I tried to restart it and the same thing happened and continues as I write this. I can't use my
computer.
Can anyone help ?

Hi Dan!
Did you use a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, or the one for your PowerBook?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 1.5 gig ram (Specs from another of your posts)

Computer won't startup after Tiger install with Maxtor external drive

I just upgraded to Tiger on my G4 Dual 450. The computer will not startup with my Maxtor 200 MB external hard drive connected. When it is connected I get a message to restart my computer. The computer starts up and runs with no problems when the Maxtor is not connected. When I connect the Maxtor after the computer is started I get a gray screen to restart my computer. I can connect the Maxtor to another G4 in my office with no problems. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi, platteau1. Welcome to the Discussions.
You wrote: "When it is connected I get a message to restart my computer."You are describing the following message:
That indicates a kernel panic.
1. First, I suggest you contact Maxtor as there may be a problem with the external drive or it may require a firmware update.
2. Next, see my "General FireWire troubleshooting" FAQ for advice that may help you troubleshoot the FireWire drive. It may be as simple as a bad FireWire cable or FireWire port on your Mac.
3. Finally, see also my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.
Good luck!

Computer doesn't boot after Tiger install and restart

I upgraded to Tiger OS from OS 10.2. Neither the upgrade or the Archive and Install worked, so I finally did Erase and Install. Tiger installed and it proceeded to restart. It restarted, however only the gray screen with the apple came up, and NO spinning gear. After waiting for about 15 min. I shut the computer down, and turned it on holding the C button to see if it would start from disk. It did, so I closed out of the disk to try to restart again. Same gray screen, no spinning gear. I'm stuck. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Was this a retail version of Tiger?

My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time.

I tried this, but no luck. I went to Previous System>Users. There is nothing inside the "Users" folder, so I hit a dead end.
I can find my new e-mails -- those that came in since I re-installed the system -- in my NEW system (which I did to see if I was correctly understanding the advice), by going to Users>Home>Library>Mail>POP account name>Inbox.
Let me add a new question: I am running PhotoShop C3. It opens OK, and I can use it, but when it opens I get this message: "One or more files for Adobe Application Support folder are missing. Please re-run the PhotoShop installer."
I don't like re-installing working programs if I can avoid it, because it always seems to lead to other issues. Any idea what files are missing, and where it/they might be in the Previous System folder?
thanks

Can any tag in app.xml control no-auto-startup after completing install?

InstallFolder in app.xml can work. And can any tag in app.xml controls no-auto-startup after completing install?

No, there isn't any tag to control no-auto-startup.
you will have to Uncheck the option "start application after installation" in the installation dilaog itself.

Problems with Norton antivirus after Tiger install

I installed Tiger yesterday and it all went well. After the install however, on every restart or when turning on the computer I get this error message:
Norton AntiVirus Error. Norton AntiVirus Auto Protect could not continue. Please reinstall Norton AntiVirus and restart.
Of course, I did the reinstall for Norton but continue to get the error message. Any assistance is appreciated.

There's no question that the exploit is serious, but it is a very narrow exploit, only involves specially-crafted RAR files, and there's both a completely adequate workaround and a virus definition to flag potentially compromised RAR files.
Given that, there's no reason to uninstall NAV: simply implement the workaround, download the latest virus defs, and stay away from RAR files for a bit. I expect we'll see a patch shortly.
The hysteria that this problem has generated from some, as well as some of the responses — uninstall NAV, throw out NAV, etc. — is wholly unfounded given the workaround and available virus def.
There have been Mac OS X exploits announced for which an Apple-provide fix took a couple of days to publish. Given the response to this Symantec issue, I'm surprised some didn't advocate uninstalling Mac OS X at those times.
As you point out, there are those who exchange documents with Windows systems, employ macro-enabled documents, etc. Uninstalling NAV vs. using the available workaround opens them up to a wider range of threats. Doing so simply makes no sense — i.e. is "nonsense" in the dictionary definition sense of that word — given that the available workaround and virus definition address the RAR exploit until a patch is published. That's not disparaging: that's fact.
Why waste the time or expose one's self to other potential threats when the workaround and virus def are available and the patch is forthcoming? Uninstalling NAV vs. using the available workaround and virus definition is "throwing out the baby with the bath water."
The Symantec-bashing that has transpired in a variety of threads since this problem arose is also unwarranted. NAV is a good product. I've used it for years and recommend it. I have no financial relationship with Symantec: I simply like the product, use it, and I recommend what I use.
ClamXav and the underlying ClamAV engine are also good products and I recommend ClamXav for those who can't afford NAV or prefer an open source product. But the ClamAV engine has also had similar exploits found in its code, so it also has an imperfect track record.
As software complexity increases, finding all of the potential exploits in the design or testing phase is increasingly difficult. All software installations are a matter of trust as to if the developers did the best job they could to ensure a product free of defects, including security exposures.
Good luck!

G4 Won't Boot after Tiger install and Belkin USB Network Adapter install.

I'm sure this would apply to my G5 as well.
I installed Tiger on my G4 and it restarted and opened to desktop. Great!
Next, installed software drivers from Belkin USB Network Adapter.
Restarted computer,
Screen has firmware 'like" look asking me to type mac_boot.
I do this and the next screen is all grey with two small purple folders in the corner. I believe one was flashing!
Nothing happens just stays there.
How can I get back to normal boot mode?

tigerswim, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Did you already have Tiger installed or did you have Panther 10.3 installed? Tiger is not a free upgrade; you have to buy it & then update (for free) using the download updates from Apple. Also, you have to use a universal/retail install DVD (or CDs) to install Tiger. You cannot use the install DVD from another model Mac.

Re-installing 10.1 after 'Tiger' install

Hello,
This problem involves a Mac G4 with Tiger installed at the moment[all software updates installed]
After a recent upgrade to Tiger, there exists now, a specific problem with PS-CS. Without going into too much detail, suffice it to say that the problem didn't exist with OS 10.1. This problem is seemingly irrepairable.... having been looked at by a tehnician and several other people. They have tried to resolve this issue with no luck.
It seems that this issue wasn't present with the OS 10.1[original OS with this mac].
Everything that can be done, has been done to try and resolve this issue, including deleting/removing PS-CS.
Problem:
I have tried to re-install 10.1, using the install disk and trying to boot into the DVD install disk but to no avail. I cannot access a way of formatting the main disk or deleting the partition in disk utilities, either.
Is it that one cannot re-install or ''go back'' to a previous version or is there another way that is safe?
TIA.
Chris

Cornelius, I hadn't gone into that aspect of the[PhSop] problem at all in this post... I will give it a go though.
Problem:
there are seperate photographic sheets with 'images' and 'combinations of colours'. These are a standard which are used to co-ordinate and present a perspective [primarily of colours, but also textures represented in these pictures[skin-tone, etc.] between the printer and monitor[can't think of the word when the 2 are fixed in unison].
One of these sheets has images of 4 children filling the very lowest part of the page. With this install of PS, there is a presence of ''fishskin'' in the ''lighter coloured'' areas of some of the kids faces'...slightly shiney and opaque, almost like the printer forgot to colour in this area, but in a slightly fish-skin-like-way. It is a bit like over flash, but not as strong.
This/these sheet/s are templates for 'co-ordinating' the printer and monitor.
The technician I referred to has used as many means as he can to set this right but with no luck so far. The monitor has been ''spidered'' correctly [a device that looks like a spider and sits on top of the monitor face and in conjunction with the coloured sheets produce/provide for a [hopeful] match]. All drivers and utilities[within printer software] have been deployed to try and resolve this issue and all done correctly.
You said:
Are you saying that you that when you boot from your Tiger install disk holding down the "C" key and go to the Utilities menu and launch Disk Utility, that all other options are greyed out?
sorry if it's confused but it's not the Tiger, but the previous, original G4 OS X install copy I am having a problem with. [I will check out which version tomorrow and post it].
I can't start the install process ''at all'', no matter what way I try it...not able to use the erase in D.U in the present Tiger install, 'target disk'[dvd] or using 'C' at boot up.
Should one be able to go back to using a previous install disk/s, to a previous version in the first place? I mean there wouldn't be much point in installing an older version if one has the latest one.
But perhaps, by doing so, this may resolve the issue of ole fishy-skin. This problem wasn't present with the older original [previous] version of OS X.

WebLogic 10.3.2.0 hanging at startup after "The server log file is opened."

Hi,
A WebLogic 10.3.2.0 server is hanging at startup. There are no error messages. The last command in the startup window is:
"The server log file <log file dest> is opened. All server side log events will be written to this file."
I think the next line should be:
"Security initializing using security realm realm."
Any ideas on what could be the issue? For instance what resources should be accessed at that point of time? There is sufficient space left on the (virtual machine) disk. The VM configured with 8GB memory. Could it be performance related still?

Error in startup after fresh install

I have Final Cut Express and accidentally deleted LiveType. I put in the disk to reinstall and after it installed, I checked to see if it works right but there's some error when I open it. How can I fix this?
Screenshot of error message - http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/8432/picture1xk4.png
P.S. When I try to click something from the menu bar such as file then "About LiveType" it shows this error message http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/2951/picture1rs5.png
Message was edited by: moheh

If it helps, the serial number that LiveType is asking for is the same serial as the one that your FCE installation asked for.
Should that not work, go to Macintosh HD > Library > Receipts and delete all instances of the installation packages that you find there containing the words "LiveType" there should be four of them.
Then reinstall LiveType.

4S hangs updating apps after iOS6 install

I updated my 4S to iOS 6.0 this morning. Initially, it hung on restart and I was forced, after over 30 minutes with no change, to restore to factory, then restore from the backup I made prior to installing the new iOS. It restored and installed iOS 6 with no issues. Everything looked good until I attempted to install/update apps. Four of them hung at "waiting" for an hour. I updated them in iTunes and attempted to update them on the phone via a sync to no avail. I restarted my MBP and tried again. Still hung up. I finally got movement, one app at a time, by restarting the iPhone - four times over.
This afternoon, there were more apps to update. Silly me, I just asked the iPhone to do it. Again, I am hung up at "waiting." This time, nothing works. I don't even have the option, via the iPhone or iTunes, to delete and reinstall them. I've restarted everything, and am down to doing another restore if no one has any better suggestions. I just don't want to be stuck restoring every time there's a major app update until this is addressed.
I have seen "Cannot sync iPhone. unknown error 1136" a couple of times upon attempting to sync while the app updates were hung up, but a restart of iTunes 10.7 got rid of that message.
Anyone else seeing this and managed to get past it? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Barb

So, I ended up calling AppleCare. We tried a few things, but ultimately ended up doing the restore to factory defaults option as even attempting to install apps directly ftom iTunes wasn't working.
Instead of restoring to backup, we started fresh and tried to install an app. No problem. So it looked like bad info from my iPhone was causing the problem. I wasn't ready to give up and restored from my morning backup after I got off the phone.
While I sat and impatiently watched 90-some apps install during the restore-from-backup, I realized something. During that process earlier today, I hadn't liked where the iOS was putting a couple things, and the fact that it had forgotten to put in an app or two. I had rearranged the offending items and added the missing apps. Then I hit "sync." Ya, in the middle of a restore. Since the latest restore-from-backup is working fine and installing apps without an issue, that had to be the culprit.
So, if you're having problems after doing a restore-from-backup after issues installing iOS 6, ask yourself if you did ANYTHING on your phone or if you re-synced during that restore. If you did, you might seriously consider re-doing that restore.

Computer OS wont startup after windows 10 install

Hello im having problem booting my system after installing windows 10 . I made the installation and it worked fine from upgrading from 8.1. But then I wanted to format the drive and at the format menu it got stuck at 2 % and then I restarted the computer. Now it will hang at hp logo and go back to the same logo again. Do I have to replace my hard drive?

From what I understand, if you completed the Windows 10 install and all went to completion, then you are supposed to be able to do a clean install with the Windows 10 DVD or USB download. With a working computer, GO TO THIS PAGE and scroll down to the "Download Tool button" Pick the 64 Bit version. Once clicked it will ask if you want a DVD or USB for the iso.Once it is done and you have either the DVD or the USB version, see if you can then install Windows 10. If that fails, you might need to replace the hard drive.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

Computer does not startup after canceled software update

I was installing the newest version of leopard. It seems as though leopard installs the update while the computer is starting up (?), as opposed to tiger, which downloaded the update while the computer was still on.
anyway, i was feeling impatient and decided that the update was taking to slowly and that i should just cancel it and update it later.
however i made the stupid decision of forcing my computer to turn off (by holding down the power button)
now whenever i try to turn on the computer, it will get to the screen with the apple and the rotating circle-thing below it
however, it won't get past that part, i left the computer for an hour and when i got back, it was on the same startup screen
i'd appreciate any help anyone can give me

You damaged your OS when you did a force-quit.
Restart your machine with your original Leopard disk in the drive while holding down the "C" key until you see the Apple.
Then you can re-install your OS. You should back up your data to an external hard drive by doing an "archive and install" which is one of the options you will have when you begin.
If you don't have a hard drive, you can just re-install the OS and then update again.
Installing with first backing up is not recommended since there is always the possibility of some problem installing new software that could result in data loss.
If you are going from Leopard 10.5 up to 10.5.2, use Apple's combo updater which should appear in Software Update.

Firefox 9.0.1 hangs on startup after update (OSX 10.6.8), even in safe mode.

I shut down Firefox because some parts of the www.washingtonpost.com site no longer displayed (icons), and Firefox automatically installed the update on restart.
Then the "Well this is embarrassing..." Restore Session screen popped up, but the program hung a few seconds after I clicked Restore Session. I had to Force Quit to close it.
Every time since then Firefox presented the same Restore Session screen, but hung after only a few seconds. Until I tried working with Safe Mode, and turning off customizations. Now it just hangs on a blank screen.

Try to reinstall Firefox 9.0.1.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
