Not booting in Safe Mode is a serious problem.
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
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...

Any errors? Any that cant be fixed?

  • Desktop folders will not move

    I accidentally hit a combination of keys and now all my desktop folders and files are aligned on the right side of the screen.
    If I try to move any of them they automatically bounce back.
    I've searched the preferences and the option bar without success.
    Can someone guide me back to where I can position them anywhere on the screen.
    Thank you.

    Control (right) click on your desktop and in the little popup box select Show View Options, next change the last box from Name to Snap to Grid
    and then re-arrange your Desktop Icons.

  • In Thunderbird while trying to move conversation results to an archive folder; if some of the results are already in the folder it will not move any.

    Hi. I often use the conversation search option when archiving my emails from inbox. I find this a very useful method of finding trails where I and multiple people have responded to each other. However If I have already moved one or more of these emails into the archive folder and select all to move, Thunderbird will not move any. I then need to individually select those that need to be moved.
    Although not a major issue I use this regularly and often come across the problem. a recent fix which allows location tab to remain on in search helps but does not resolve this issue. A slightly annoying problem and I was wondering if any one else has this issue. Also is anyone looking into a solution?

    FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
    I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
    In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
    It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
    I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
    This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/

  • I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

    I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
    Can this be done
    Thanks for any and all help

    The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
    The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
    While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
    Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
    If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw makes horrible noise and will not move past initializi​ng

    Makes horrible noise and will not move past initializing.

    Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
    I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
    Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
    Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
    Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
    Update the printer's firmware by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
    Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
    I can send a private message with another step to try.
    In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
    What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Is this a new printer?

    the problem started when my computer screen broke from something falling on it, the screen was replaced but the people that fixed it for me told me there may be some hard disk issues when a problem like this happens, they ran their own checks and found nothing and i was given my laptop back, then when i tried to use it, i found this problem. everything else works fine.
    i have shutdown and re-started my computer multiple times and i have also re-started finder multiple times, both having no effect
    i have also done a few other things to find that my apple.com.finder.plist and apple.com.sidebar.plist are both missing, and are not re-creating themselves, i have found no way to bring them back either.
    any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

  • My apple mouse is not working.  The pointer will not move on the screen and it keeps turning off.

    My apple mouse is not working.  I can get it to connect but it will not move the pointer.  Left and right click is working, scrolling, just cannot move the pointer.  Also, I have replaced the batteries (numerous times) but the green power light turns off after a few minutes.  Any suggestions?

    How about clean up LED hole of mouse?

  • HT4623 The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move no matter what I click on.  I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen.

    The update to iOS 7 is frozen at the Terms and Conditions page and will not move, no matter what I click on.  I cannot access my iPad as it is frozen on this screen.  How do I remedy this nightmare?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try updating the software again.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • HT1212 I have no idea why suddenly my iPhone5 will not move past the Password screen; also, a voice describes each button I touch, and ends with "screen locked" (not "phone locked").

    I have no idea why my iPhone5 suddenly will not move past the PW screen; a "voice" identifies each button touched (the Slide button, for example) or the PW buttons, and then ends with "screen locked" (not phone locked).

    I believe you have Voice Over on:
    You have to tap, then double-tap to select the numbers to enter your passcode.
    Then:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

  • Image Capture will not recognize my Epson Workforce 615

    Image Capture will not recognize my Epson Workforce 615. It would not recognize my HP 4280 either.
    I can print but I cannot scan using Image Capture. Scanning through Epson scan or HPScan Pro works.
    What am I doing wrong? I have searched all over the net for an answer and there does not seem to be a solution. Only other people searching for the same answer.
    And no I do not want to use VueScan.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for your quick reply. I ran all of the updates and the software is current.
    Image Capture recognizes the printer/scanner via USB but not WIFI.
