Doesn't start / doesn't show up anything?

Well, first of all, Hello.
I'm using 'Ipod Touch 2nd generation' and I have a big problem. When I want to start it, it doesn't do anything, even not a error message. So I charged it for maybe, 48 hours, and it still doesn't starting. But my USB cable is working, since it says that I can sync/add things. Well it would really help if someone could tell me how to fix it, without erasing all the data and starting over (because I have so many apps and I want to keep them)
Thank you,
Anthony

I'm trying to download java on my Mac machine but the software update doesn't show me anything. Please advise what I should do to get the application.

If you can run it under chrome, you have java installed.
There was some malware that exploited an older version of Java (not javascript) running in a Browser. Since few people use it Apple turned off Java by default in the Safari Browser.
If you need it for something, just turn it back on in Safari preferences (inside Safari). After a few months of non-use, you may find it has turned itself off again.

Dreamweaver doesn't start

Dreamweaver doesn't start but shows as running in taskmanager processes but not in taskmanager applications.
I can then end the process and restart the program but the same thing happens. It doesn't even show the startup screen, it just shows the Dreamweaver.exe in taskmanager processes.
What can I do to reset the startup or clear what ever is stopping it.
Have used this dreamweaver installation for over a year with no problem and have not changed anything.
Would really appreciate some help.

Try the below steps and check if that helps.

Transition to systemd: polkit doesn't start

Since it's more and more obvious, that systemd is the way to go, I tried to do the transition. I've read the wiki page, prepared my system, added the init parameter to my kernel boot line. First try was surprisingly smooth, my XFCE desktop appears, nearly everything was fine.
Nearly. What wasn't fine was polkit. It didn't start, and because of this, some other things like udisks and upower doesn't start either. I tried to debug the problem:
# systemctl start polkit
Job for polkit.service failed. See 'systemctl status polkit.service' and 'journalctl -n' for details.
systemctl status polkit.service

Nov 01 10:25:55 itchy systemd[1]: Unit polkit.service entered failed state
That's all. I don't know where to get more information about the failure, and with this level of detailed information, I can't do anything. I tried to find solutions in the wiki and here in the forum, but I didn't find any similar problem description.
Since I'm not familiar with systemd, can someone give me some hints to track down the problem? I'm a little bit lost here … Nice first impression from systemd, I have to say …

Hi, it looks like I'm having the same problem. Polkit fails to start, and attempting to reinstall polkit gives:
groupadd: GID '102' already exists
useradd: group 'polkitd' does not exist
error: command failed to execute correctly
I had a look in /etc/group and this includes the line:
tex:x:102:
May I ask how exactly you solved the conflict? Is it safe to just remove this group? I didn't create this group, it must have been created by some package at some point in the past, I guess. I have 3 other computers which I just updated as well, and the problem did not occur there (because no such group exists on those computers).
Thanks for the information at any rate. There seem to be a lot of different symptoms that can also be caused by other problems, so I had a hard time identifying the issue. They include XFce taking a very long time to start, removable drives not showing up on the desktop / in Thunar until I log out and back in again, and then still failing to mount the drives with the error message "Not authorized to perform operation (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0)". That last one was the clue that lead me here
EDIT: I just found this and tried it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121824
Looks like the tex group owns a couple of files on my system though (unsurprisingly they are all TeX-related): everything in /usr/local/share/texmf. They were all last modified on october 3rd, 2008 and november 2nd 2008. So I guess a package installation back then created the group or something.
I don't think these files are still in use (there is also a /usr/share/texmf with more recent files), and pacman -Qo says they aren't owned by any package. So I guess I'll just remove them and get rid of the group as well. Interestingly, the wiki does make mention of the files and the 'tex' group: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeX_Live
A skeleton of a local texmf tree is at /usr/local/share/texmf: this directory is writable for members of the group tex.
Perhaps this information is very dated?

S.O.S. !!! system (tiger) doesn't start aymore

Hi! Can anybody help me please?? It's a bit of a story but maybe there are details that help you solve my prob...??
I'm ichat/isight user for more than two years now. I had all sorts of malfunctions but what's happening now's never been there before AND can't be fixed by restarting, unplugging, restarting whole system etc.
OK, this is what's happened:
-> unplugged isight from my powermac (g5) to use on powerbook G4 (as I've done succesfully before). on G4 I got ichat running after plugging in isight, then clicked "camera" symbol to check if it runs properly. The camera gave me one short glance and then froze and after that ichat completely hung up. I've shut it down (applealtesc) -> didn't show as shut (little black arrow underneath programm-sign). I had to put the G4 on standby and then log in again before the programme would shut down. I've done it twice and after the second time my G4 doesn't come back anymore at all.... :((( It only shows the grey apple and the spinning wheel (grey dots) for ages! I've taken isight away and everything (mightymouse) but still NO CHANGE!!! No matter how long I wait - My whole system never comes back!!! BUT - I'm very lucky to have my power Mac with ichat running on it properly --- as I thought.... Now, THIS REALLY KILLS ME!!! I plugged camera in again, started ichat on G5... same sh** like on G4! Ichat won't close down anymore no matter what I do!!!I've done complete restart of system... NO CHANGE!!! What have I done wrong???? Can anybody help me - please???
edit:
Just installed ichat update on G5. Was funny again, since ichat wouldn't let system close down and do restart. I had to press the button - which I hate! Feels so - er- violent! NOW ichat+isight work again properly.
BUT!!!
Can anybody tell me how to get my G4 powerbook running again??? I'd like to install the ichat update there as well, think that'll fix my problmes there - but before that I have to get into my system again... ;( No matter what buttons I press or how often I remove the battery plate - The system doesn' t start!!!! I get the greyish screen with spinning dots-wheel and then after a while I get a blue screen without ANYTHING on it no mouse arrow or any menue. WHAT CAN I DO?? There's important stuff on it I haven't done backups from yet! (it's always like that, in't it?)

Thanks for the status report, Ursula!
-- begin edit: (Ursula IM'd me while I was finishing this post)
Congratulations, Ursula!!! You got your PowerBook running. I understand that you are still working on the restoring the settings, data files, and applications, but thanks for sharing the great news. Well done!
[I leave this post for your (and other readers') possible use while you finish.]
-- end edit
Based on what you told Ralph and me in our text chat, my guess is that whatever caused your son's user session to crash is what is also crashing your G5 Finder when you attempt to copy it. Your son's User folder was probably locked by OS X when the PowerBook crashed while he was using it. I think you are doing the correct thing by moving only the important files from his (locked) PowerBook User folder.
Once you get all your son's most important files moved, I suggest you try moving one of the unlocked User folders to your G5 drive. You may be able to move the User folders (other than your son's locked one) to your G5 so you will have backups for those users.
You can try this by moving one entire User folder (not the "Users" folder with all Users inside) by option-dragging it into the folder you want in your G5's hard drive finder window. If that one works, other unlocked User folders may work, too.
Because your PowerBook had insufficient disk space for a reinstall, you were forced to interrupt the reinstall process twice. Therefore, your PowerBook may not respond to either reboots or reinstalls, even after you free up 10GB - 25GB (or even more) of disk space on your PowerBook.
If your PowerBook does not respond to your planned actions, and if you want to try one more thing before you take the PowerBook to an Apple Technician, my best suggestion is that you erase and "zero" the disk using Disk Utility. (Disk Utility Help will tell you how to do this.) Use the "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" format setting, and select the "Zero Out Data" setting in the "Security Options" pop-up.
You can perform the erase and zero either in the Target Disk Mode or by using the Disk Utility application on your PowerBook's "Install" DVD. Either way, it may take more than an hour to Zero the disk, but "zeroing" should get rid of whatever caused your son's session to crash. If you want more specifics about this, post back or contact me via iChat when I am online.
Once you have the disk erased, reinstall everything that you need using your PowerBook's "Install" DVD. After the install is finished and you restart your PowerBook, repair Disk Permissions ("Rights" auf Deutsch?). Then apply the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC) that I linked in my first response above.
Follow the Combo Update with one more repair of Disk Permissions. If you get this far, you can reinstall your other necessary software apps and then restore the data you need from the backups you have.
If the above process does not work, your PowerBook may need to see the Apple Service Technician.
You told me in our chat that you work on very large files. Therefore, you will need to regularly perform the kind of Mac OS X Maintenance described in the "Maintenance" link in my first response above. I do a lot of large video and PhotoShop image editing. To keep my Mac running fast and reliably, I do the routine maintenance on a regular schedule, and I try to keep at least 35% - 50% of my startup disk free. I never let my 160GB startup disk get more than 75% full. I offer this info so you will know how important free space is in the Ma OS X startup disk. If you need more space, backup some files and remove them or add another disk drive, but do not let your startup disk get too full on any of your OS X Macs.
One final note: because you had to force a shutdown (hold in power button until the G5 turned off) on your G5 last night, you should do a safe boot on the G5 as soon as possible. You can find detailed instructions for Safe Boot from the "Maintenance" link in my first response above, but I will give you a short version here:• Restart your G5.
• As soon as the startup chime sounds, press and hold the <shift> key.
• Release the <shift> key when you see the spinning gear on the monitor.
• Let the machine run until the desktop is visible. (In 10.4.8, you will be asked for your administrator password before you get the desktop.)
• After the desktop and menu bar are visible, you should do a normal "Restart" to finalize all needed actions. Do not do anything other than restart while in Safe Boot mode or you risk leaving the Safe Boot actions unfinished.Once your Mac is restarted, you can return to your G5's normal routine maintenance schedule.
Let us know how things progress or if you need anything else.

Chromium doesn't start and suspend, shutdown don't work occassionally

Hello,
I have this problem on my laptop but since chromium doesn't start on my desktop either, I don't think it's specific to laptops.
When I try to start chromium in a terminal, I get a blank window (I can tell because I use spectrwm):
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
[25148:25148:0215/130205:ERROR:background_mode_manager_aura.cc(14)] Not implemented reached in virtual void BackgroundModeManager::EnableLaunchOnStartup(bool)
I temporarily resorted to using Firefox instead, but at times it just freezes up while opening some pages. After that point, even killing firefox doesn't help: the system load level keeps on rising. I used pidof to check if firefox is still running, but I had no output from pidof. After having firefox to freeze, shutdown, suspend, etc don't work. The laptop goes to a black screen state, but the power LED remains on indefinitely.
These might be two separate issues, but they started together on my laptop.
Thanks in advance!

It started happening after upgrade:
[2015-02-15 09:43] [ALPM] upgraded chromium (40.0.2214.94-1 -> 40.0.2214.111-1)
I was wondering if it has anything to do with some X-related upgrades:
[2015-02-15 09:42] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:43] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:48] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server-devel (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:45] [ALPM] upgraded nvidia (346.35-5 -> 346.35-6)
I tried to downgrade chromimu to 40.0.2214.94-1 and it didn't help. I tried to downgrade nvidia, xorg-server and xorg-server-devel to previous versions, when everything worked and X chouldn't start.
Other observations are that if I start chromium, the ps command hangs and I have to reboot the system to be able to use ps command again.

It's worth mentioning that I also run spectrwm, like SgrA, however i don't have other issues with freezing on shutdown etc.

RT app doesn't start on power-up or re-boot

Hi Again, Gang:
This one is stumping me. I've finished a cRIO application, and am now in the process of getting it ready for distribution. The RT part of the app runs fine when I upload it from the host PC. When I set the app to run at startup from NV RAM, it doesn't run. Well, actually, to make matters worse--it DID run ONCE! This morning I powered the cRIO, then did other things for a while. I later looked at the unit and saw the user LED was flashing the sequence that says it's working.
I've read through the troubleshooting stuff on the web site. I've FTPd into the box and it looks like it's set up right. The dip switches are all off. I've waited for 10 mins to see if comes up after a while. I've experimented with the FPGA upload settings to see if that's the issue. (The RT won't get very far if the FPGA doesn't start) Is it possible that something with the shared variable engine is holding it up?
I'm about out of ideas. I really hope that someone can give me some!
Thanks in advance!
Roger

hi!!
Have you got any solutions. it seems there some bugs in lv2010. we are facing similar problems. some times every thing works but after restart it shows some error(blinking of yellow LED on RT).some time variable are not being published .i am working with mutltiple target in a single project. i have tried all options like auto deploy variable(ON/OFF)
seperate libraries for each target eventhough applications is similar for all targets. Just shareing my experience(pain)

Ipod suffle 3g recognized by iTunes but doesn't start! (water damage)

My ipod shuffle 3G has a water damage. it shows the red/pink indicator.
It doesn't starts but it connects to iTunes. I can move songs to my iPod shuffle and other stuffs. But it doesn't start.
I have opened my iPod shuffle. It had green sedimentation in it. I cleaned it but it still doesn't start and is still recognized by iTunes.
Does anybody have an idea what the reason could be?

If it doesn't power on when you try to use it, the damage may be to the battery. When it's connected, it is getting power from the USB connection, so it works. When you disconnected, the battery does not hold a charge, so it is dead.
Since you know how to open it, you may want to try leaving it open in a dry ventilated place for a few days. If the cause is moisture shorting something out, when the moisture evaporates, it may work again.

My MacBook Pro 15,4" doesn't start at all!

Hi everyone!
Today morning, normal day, after having my MacBook Pro charging all night (as always), I took it (without any cables) in the kitchen, in order to, very surprising, turn it on!
But nothing happens!! Checking battery status: ok (new), removing it and trying without, still nothing. I tried all reset techniques, as well as Ctrl + Cmd + Start button. But still nothing.
What is happening?
When I press the button, I hear the DVD player making his little "clac-clac", the fan is starting, and the light as well, but as soon as I take my finger off the start button, it stops again! If I keep my finger longer on the button, it stops as well after a while (normal forced stop), but the "gong" never sound.
Can anyone help me with this? Where does it come from? I'm a computer technician, and fixed a lot of laptops, but when it comes to Apple, I panic, and I don't know what to do anymore! I'm always a bit scared to open it myself...
Maybe I should add that it's making some noise on the right fan since 2 months (as if a plastic piece was blocked inside), some kind of "clac, clac, clac", and it was getting really warm sometimes. The DVD-player is also a bit "curved", and it's problematic to extract the discs sometimes.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
Ron.

Hi everyone!
Thanks for the answers.
@Advanced User: I haven't tried that yet, but I will tonight. And I found a Store in my town, in case I cant solve it myself.
@eww: I always buy original parts, even more by Apple. Of yourse I tried without the battery. All the basic tests were done. I also opened the machine and test electrically if anything was interupted. But I couldn't find anything. I must say my son (2 years old) found it very funny last week-end to play piano (pretty strongly) on the keyboard of the MB... But I don't think he broke something, otherwise I'd be really disappointed in a 2000€ notebook...
The exact model of the MacBook is MB133D/A, and I cant access any System Profiler, because the MacBook.... doesn't start! The battery was still holding 3 hours.

IPhoto doesn't start

IPhoto 5.04 doesn't start (iMovie also). Problem: right of access. Disk utility doesn't find any problem but pacifist does. Message : /Library - Modus is 1775, the package indicated 775. How can I solve this problem?

Hi lori,
the programme run before, let's say 1 month before.
Discovered the mistake today. I also updated iPhoto and I tried to reinstall it today - without any success. Strange: Disk Utility and iMovie don't start too. In the interim between running and not running iPhoto I checked the files with OnyX and Xupport 3.0. Pacifist shows the same mistake for all the non starting programmes - but Disk Utility (from system CD) doesn't find any mistake.

I don't know if it helps. But I had problems with the x-server not starting (didn't even get a gui login just command line) re-setting the network properties seemed to fix it, looks like anything dodgy in the network config stuffs up the start up proceedure.

Doesn't start / doesn't show up anything?
