E430 Freezes at Every Boot

Literally, every single time when I boot my E430, it will freeze at the first time when I boot it. My solution is wait till after it displayed my desktop wallpaper, and confirm the curse freezes in the middle, then I hit the power button to make it enter sleep mode, then hit it again to awake it, enter system, then the freeze will eliminate.
Is there any once and for all solution for this kind of problem? Thank you very much!

That is the fsck happening. If it is clearning an orphan inode or recovering the journal that means the shutdown was not clean, so the journal doesn't match with what is actually on disk. Unfortunately, fsck is not like most programs, and outputs even on success. There has been some talk on the systemd mailing list about having this information surpressed if everything is file. This does actually tend to be how traditional *nix programs work (no output on success... try cp or mv or rm).
I think it would make a whole lot of sense for the "quiet" parameter to actually be quiet if everything goes to plan. But we'll see if anything comes of it. For now it will just f*ck up your nice splash screen. You can have the information passed to a different console if you edit journald.conf. I think it is the "TTYPath=" parameter that can be changed. Though I am not sure if this will actually surpress the fsck from the initramfs (the fsck on your rootfs). I have been using btrfs, so there is no fsck on boot.

IMac freezes on every boot up

Everytime I boot up my iMac it freezes on the startup screen (white screen with grey Apple logo) and I have to then restore it from a time machine back up before it fully starts up.
This has only happened since I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion (upgraded from Snow Leopard), I usually leave my iMac in sleep mode but sometimes I need to turn it off for power reasons or in updating the system. Does anyone know how I can fix this I don't want to leave my iMac on 365 days a year and I would like to be able to install important system updates.

Do this:
1. Go into Time Machine Preferences, Options, then delete all exceptions.
2. Plug in your external drive and back up using time machine.
3. Shut off your Mac
4. Turn it on, press and hold the Option key as soon as you hit the power button, this will take the computer into OS X Utilities
5. Once in OSX Util, select Disk Utility -> Erase, make sure the format is Mac OSX Extended Journal, rename the disk Macintosh HD if you want, then click erase.
6. Once erased close the window and select reinstall OSX Mountain Lion and let it finish installing
7. The first time starting in mountain lion, setup asistant will ask you if you want to transfer data, choose transfer from another disk, plug in your backup drive and transfer.
It should restore all your info back.
good luck.

Intermittent freezes upon cold boot

Greetings gurus,
I've been experiencing intermittent freezes on cold boot since a few weeks. I did not have them on 10.5.4. I've only had 4 freezes and according to the CrashReporter log all are identical, as far as I can tell. I have not installed any new hardware and I have only one external thing connected and that's a Sennheiser USB headset. I'm unable to tell if all leave identical messages in other logs however.
The *CrashReporter log* for the four occasions says that the process which broke is *coreservicesd [43]*. On each occasion, it is said that "Thread 0" crashed. This is how the beginning of that log reads (from the crash earlier today):
*Process: coreservicesd [43]*
*Path: /System/Library/CoreServices/coreservicesd*
*Identifier: coreservicesd*
*Version: ??? (???)*
*Code Type: X86 (Native)*
*Parent Process: launchd [1]*
*Date/Time: 2009-01-19 20:33:26.618 +0100*
*OS Version: Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33)*
*Report Version: 6*
*Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)*
*Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000000*
*Crashed Thread: 0*
The symptoms are:
+ *Menu bar* is invisible (can make out language flag, airport and bluetooth icons and bottom of menu bar).
+ Finder is unresponsive (can't open folders on the desktop and their icons are gone but not their names - relaunching the Finder does not help).
+ Applications won't launch from the Dock.
+ I can access the Restart, Sleep, Shutdown dialog box by pressing the off button on my ACD, but the Shutdown button doesn't work.
+ Holding the power button will not always force shutdown, but seems to put the computer in some sort of sleep mode (when pressing the button again the desktop will appear "greyed" out and a white progress bar will display).
As it doesn't happen upon every cold boot I haven't been able to use the Verbose mode. I have done the following:
+ Trashed the plists of Finder and Dock
+ Fixed permissions in DU
+ Left it unplugged from the mains for a whole day
+ Reset PRAM/NVRAM
+ Using Onyx, deleted the caches under Cleaning - System and Cleaning - User (radical perhaps?)
+ Turned off all login items (AppTrap, Gmail Notifr, Fuzzy Clock, Skype)
+ Run Apple Hardware Test, normal and extended, with no errors found
+ Verified boot disk in DU while booted from the installation disk: no errors
I tried a Safe Boot but it froze. However, it does not freeze every time.
When it froze this evening, I found loads of the following message in Console-All Messages:
*WindowServer[51] LaunchServices/5123589: coreservicesd is running an unsupported version, 0 ( we are 10500000 ), so we cannot talk to it.*
Many of them are prefaced by loginwindow[23] instead of WindowsServer.
Below are the messages in Console-Console messages from the latest time that it froze (all of the messages). There's some talk about com.apple.UserEventAgent-Aqua which I don't understand.
When it says that a "thread" crashes, could it be hardware-related (i.e. the processors)? But should not AHT have caught that? Or is it some corruption in the system? I have backups and clones so I'm not worried about losing data. I'm more concerned about the hardware.
Any thoughts and ideas would be helpful.

Actually, doing the following would probably fix everything; at least it has fixed every issue I have ever had.
If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need a more robust utility for the repair. I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy. Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand.
If you have a good backup, hopefully a clone of your system before you had issues, an Erase and Install may also rid you of this issue. But, beware! You will lose everything on the drive with this procedure. Let us know if you need help with that!
 Luck! DALE
p.s. by Thomas Bryant '''' from a previous post.
Diskwarrior is a "must have" utility and it's corrected any weird problem I've ever encountered. Anytime I have to do a forced shutdown etc. I run DW to get the directories back in tip top shape. Directory problems cause strange issues and often over the course of several weeks or months the little problems add up to finally a major problem. Tom

X48C Freezing in OS boot & install

See System specs in profile.
Given all that i have tried installing vista business and xp pro sp1a 32-bit os' several times to no avail (except once when xp installed but continually failed to boot after os selection screen)
I tried installing vista with only 2GB in (with and without dddr2/3 selector) per recommendation and that made no difference as vista would freeze almost every time after the progress bar finished (once the windows setup files were loaded and the mouse popped up). Same result with both 1 or 2 sticks installed. A few times i made it to the cd key screen however (2 sticks in).
Vista's memtest ran for 3 passes with no problems detected in the memory and Checkdisk reported no problems on the disks.
Overclocking and underclocking the ram and processor proved fruitless as well, though i am not good at this so i am not sure if i executed the trials correctly; raising the voltages yielded no difference.
Raid array is intact and seems to be functioning perfectly.
DDR3 timings are suggested by patriot to be 9-9-9-24 at 1.5v and with those entered it fails to post. I do not know the correct values for the other 5 settings as i cannot find any literature on them (tTRD, TWR, etc). It posts fine with auto settings and 1.5v selected for DDR voltage, but no change in freezing habits.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to resolve these freezes and/or how to get one of these two OS's to install? (or any clarifications on things i may have forgot to report!)
Thanks for the help!!

great advice!
I relaxed the timings i did not have the knowlege for, and set the main timings to 9-9-9-24 while upping the voltage to 1.6v and raising the NB by 0.15v. Eventually it posted and everythings been running well since.
This seems to work and so far xp pro sp1a has installed and is running fine.
i didnt do a full memtest run as it seemed to be running fine. Might do that later.
Onto vista next, but as i have one OS installed, the next should be much easier.
Thanks for all the help!

My 27" iMac Freezes, Won't boot from DVD

My iMac has started to freeze up every few minutes. Every so often, it becomes unresponsive; the mouse cursor still moves (sometimes it turns into a beach ball), but I can't click or type anything. Whenever this happens, the hard drive begins to churn as if it's reading or writing something big. This usually lasts only about thirty seconds to a minute, but it's happening with frustrating regularity.
I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a few days, now. I'll walk you through the steps I've tried so far.
I ran a check on the hard drive with Disk Utility. This came back with a message about the files/directories not matching up with their expected counts. The solution it suggested was to boot from a Snow Leopard disc and let Disk Utility run a Repair Disk while the startup drive is not mounted. It was at this point that I realized that I couldn't boot from the dvd. Whether holding 'C' or 'Option', when it tries to boot from the disc, it gets to the Apple logo and then hangs.
I kept researching and found a workaround; boot into Single User Mode and perform fsck, which fixed the Disk Utility error, but did not solve the freezes/noises, and I still can't boot from the dvd.
Any ideas?

Thank you for your prompt response.
Well, I'm not sure if I explained it clearly. Holding the Option key does indeed bring up a list of bootable devices. The problem arises when control is passed to the Snow Leopard disc. The Apple logo flashes, I can hear the optical drive being accessed, but then it locks up.
I should also clarify that it's not the disc that came with the iMac. I just moved and can't find the original disc, so I borrowed my neighbor's (which came from a Macbook he bought after mine (which I bought last year)). I am under the impression that Macs can't boot from discs that are older than the version of OS X that they shipped with. I wouldn't think that's the issue, here, as his came out later than mine, but I've still got a lot to learn about life in the Appleverse.
My data should be safe--I've got an up to date Time Machine backup on an external drive. The performance issues aside, I'm really looking to understand the underlying problem(s) here.
So, one option is that the RAM might be bad. I can test that by swapping out each DIMM and checking if the problem is resolved. One thing I don't understand, though, is why bad RAM would manifest as the hard drive being accessed. Is there a definitive way to test the logic board, as there is for testing RAM?
Also, I keep thinking of other little syptoms which may or may not be related.
Recap of Symptoms:
Magic Mouse occasionally loses its magic (right click, multitouch, etc.) and needs to be turned off and on.
Free disk space fluctuates by as much as eight gigs (without my intervention).
System stalls (accompanied by HD access sounds) multiple times per hour.
Can't boot from dvds (though, this could be a version problem).
**Fixed: Disk Utility Verify Disk error.
I do understand that this might be a hardware error, and I certainly know how much trouble that sort of thing is to find/fix. I'm definitely willing to open the case and swap out DIMMs and drives, but not until I've exhausted my software solution options. *crosses fingers*

My MacBookPro8,1 keeps freezing up every 5 -10 minutes and I have to hit force quit to be able to continue. What can I do to fix this?

Reinstall OS X:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Thought I had it fixed, by iMac is still freezing sometimes on boot up

In an earlier post, I thought we had my iMac fixed but now it's still freezing up on boot up, occasionally.
Sometimes I'll just get a grey screen with no logo after the boot up chime, sometimes it'll take a good minute or two for my iMac to fully boot up, and sometimes it'll boot just fine.
Usually, when I get just the grey screen I have to use the Command-Control-Power button to reset the Mac just to boot.
Any ideas as to why? I've repaired the hard disk after the first time this happened and it found no errors.
I read my console log and there's nothing glaring out that looks like a massive error.
I have been getting the following errors, could they be the problem?
BootCacheControl: could not stop cache/fetch history: Cannot allocate memory
vmnet: Hub 1 does not exist, allocating memory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As a follow up to this.
I booted from CD and ran disk utility. I repaired the disk and said everything was A-ok. I tried to repair disk permissions and it the progress bar froze a 1/3rd of the way in saying "1 minute remaining" and never moved after that.
ideas?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Interface builder starts up with an error every boot.

I've got a late 2008 Macbook Unibody 13", and a few months back I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Ever since the upgrade, at every boot up Interface Builder starts up with an error. I've just ignored it mostly, but now I'm getting annoyed with it. How can I find the programs that start up every boot to research this, or stop it from loading Interface Builder every time?

You have to delete it using the minus sign at the bottom. The check/un-check is for hiding items.

My ipod keeps on freezing with every two songs.

my ipod keeps on freezing.i have read the other post but mine is different.recently every time i listen to my ipod it keeps on freezeing on the song list with every other song as in one song would work..the3n the next it would freeze and nothing can unfreeze the screen.i tried resetting the ipod and it happens again and again.does anyone know how i can fix my ipod so that i dont have to resent it everytime it freezes like every 5 mins?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Dhcpcd eth0 on every boot SOLVED

Show the boot menu on every boot?

Hi there, i'm wondering if there is a application or method to show the boot menu on every boot instead of having to hold down the the option key?
I apologize if this question may have been asked previously!
Cheers

Not really although there is a menubar application called QuickBoot you might look at - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
