Early 2008 MBP will not start up to Mac HD only to "OS X Utilities"
Running 10.8.5 with all updates as of 10/25.
Last night (10/25) I updated iTunes. The computer appeared to be working as normal. This morning the system will only boot up to OSX Utilities. I ran "Verify Disk" and verified disk permissions on all volumes indicated in the left column (Mac HD and Mac OS X Base System). The disks were verified and repaired.
I have four choices: Restore from Time Machine Backup (I don't have this back up), Reinstall OS X ( I don't have enough HD space), Get Help Online (have not found my similar problem yet) and Disk Utility ( tried as noted above - system appears to be ok).
I'm going to the Genius Bar tonight, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions prior to me going. Thanks for any thoughts!
PS: just guessing, but I feel it may be the hard drive. I am assuming its not the logic board since I can still sort of start up.
Called AppleCare, it's the HD. New computer or a new HD.

Early 2008 MBP screen not turning on
I have a 15 inch early 2008 MBP that the screen will not turn on. When i power on, the hard drive makes a sound that its turning on, but then nothing happens, there is just a black screen. The indication light is on, but again, nothing on the screen. I have tried pulling out the battery, resetting everything i can reset, but still nothing. Any ideas?
Hi B,
You may have the NVIDIA issue. If you have the GeForce 8600M GT GPU it is covered under the free repair program. Bring the MBP to an Apple Store or AASP for free testing. If Apple's free test confirms the issue, repair is free. Read all about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
There have been stories of, ummm, "uninformed" workers, so print out the article, familiarize yourself with it, and if you meet resistance, politely/firmly stand your ground and ask for someone higher up the food chain if need be. The GPU is part of the logic board, so "repairing" it means replacing the logic board (Some workers have tried to play word games, saying the logic board needed to be replaced so it wasn't a covered repair because it wasn't just the GPU. Grrrrrr!). Good luck! -
MBP will not start, only has 99Mb free
Hello, I am trying to fix a friends Macbook Pro, which will not start. The logo appears with the spinning cog, but nothing else - it can stay on this screen for hours. I tried to reinstall Tiger, and then discovered that it only has 99Mb free, and Tiger needs more space.
I can access Terminal, but I am not familiar with UNIX to be able to do anything there. Is there a way of accessing the hard disk via my own iMac or wife's MBP through Firewire so we can delete something. I guess Target mode will not work, as there is not enough space to start the OS. Any help appreciated.
Our friends MBP is one of the original, 1.8Ghz Core Duo with 512Mb RAM.The computer will probably still boot up in TD mode, Simon, even though it can't boot the Mac.
When used as the boot disk the computer needs plenty of free space to set up virtual memory areas and the like. That is one of the reasons why you should always make sure that there are always quite a few Gigabytes free for safe operation (Never let it get below 10% free space and try to maintain around 20% or more if, for example, you ever burn video, or other very large files).
TD mode essentially turns the computer into just another external HD, and the process occurs before it really needs to make use of the internal drive in the boot cycle.
So give it a go (just hold down "t" while starting the MBP). Your iMac should then see it as a second, external, HD.
Don't try and install any OS until you have cleared LOTS of space - 50 Gig or more in a situation like this where many of the files themselves will have become badly fragmented (because the normal OSX processes for defragging can't operate when a drive gets this full) . In fact I'd STRONGLY suggest that you back up or clone the entire drive to an external, or to another computer, wipe the internal, and only then start putting things back on. Otherwise you will have horrendous levels of free space fragmentation.
Cheers

My MBP will not start up after restart
My MBP (late 2011 running 10.8.something - receintly updated) will not start up after I had to do a restart to install Blackberry Desktop software (for my wife, I promise). It chimes, gets past the grey screen with the Apple logo and then just sits on the login screen but with the background only, no account or anything. My mouse pointer is there and moves but nothing else. Anyone have any idea?
Reboot holding the Shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this is Safe Mode and will disable the at boot kernel extension file that Blackberry installed.
When you get in uninstall the software using their uninstaller. Then reboot normally again, visit their website for a update if there is one.
Blackberry/RIM software has been causing issues around here lately.
If your machine refuses to boot normally again, then run through this list 1-8,, by #8 your machine should be booting normally again.

SQL Express 2008 R2 will not start on Windows 7 Home
Ok, This used to work, and then over night my system rebooted and now I cannot start SQL Express 2008 R2 after I have unistalled, and re-installed. Cleared out the folders and the certificates, changed the Named Pipes configuration and all to
no avail. Here is my log file.

I am logged into either the Administrator Account or my Account in which I am in the Adminstrator Group or an Admin. My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, so I cannot clear out the MSSQL groups and things I have seen online. Since this
is Express, there is limited capabilities with the config tool.
I have tried to change the log in as in the SQL Configuration tool and every item I check, Local Service, Local System, Network Service all give the same error,
"Cannot Find Object or Property. [0x80042004]
SInce I have Home Premium, MMC will not load the snap in for Local Users and groups to check out these items.
A check of the net user shows only the Administrator, Guest and my local login in Admin Account. net localgroups show these items.

I am not sure how to solve this problem. Please help. Thanks, in advance.I created a new Administrator account on the machine, mdahl. I then started the SQL Configuration Tool and changed the log on to this new account. Same problem. Here is the SQL Log.

Also, the link you provided is to Windows Vista, not Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I did look at the registry setting they said to look at in the link.
Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey that is named <var>SID</var>.bak.
Note <var>SID</var> is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the problem. The <var>SID</var>.bak subkey should contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the original profile
folder of the user account that is experiencing the problem.
Exit Registry Editor.
Looking into my registry for my ProfilesList as mentioned. I have these items.
S-1-5-19 Folder with Default (Value not set), Flags (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000, ProfileImagePath (REG_EXPANDS_SZ) C:Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService, State (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000
S-1-5-20 Folder with Default (Value not set), Flags (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000, ProfileImagePath (REG_EXPANDS_SZ) C:Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService, State (REG_DWORD) 0x0000000
Then I have an item for each of my three accounts, Administrator, Martin Dahl, and mdahl, All admin Accounts, which has no sid.bak, but a Sid, so not sure how this link helps me either. Still looking for assistance. Still not starting. -
MacBook Pro Early 2008 - screen will not turn on
I put my MBP to sleep last night as usual (via Finder). This morning when I opened the lid, I heard the familiar sound of the superdrive being accessed but then nothing. The screen would not turn on. I have tried several hard restarts using the power button but always the same result (no screen). I tried resetting the SMC but no luck. Reseated the RAM, nope. The battery is fully charged (battery test shows all lights on). Not sure what else to try short of taking it in to the local Apple retailer. I don't have AppleCare for it.
I'm aware of the possibly of the NVIDIA no video issue (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377) and something I will mention if I have to take it in for the tech to look at. However, I was not having any video issues before this happened.If you qualify, you will not need AppleCare! Just take your MBP in for repairs.

Acrobat will not start-up and mac osx and will not register
Acrobat is installed on my Mac Mini, but will not allow me to register with Adobe. Also, the same Acrobat 8 pro will not operate on my MacBook pro because it is not registered and does not recognize my serial# etc. How can I call someone at Adobe? This product is worthless to me, and I have tried everything.
Hold down the option key while starting your iMac
You should see a screen with some imagines of hard drives appear.
Press the eject key to eject the disk, then select your boot partition (likely named "Macintosh HD") and hit the return key.
If you still hear the three beeps, the computer may be unable to access its system memory. Preform the resets detailed in these articles:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
Or try as den.thed suggested if you have recently installed memory into your computer.
If your boot partition does not appear when you hold down option and "Recovery HD" also doesn't appear, or if it does not allow you to eject the disk, you may be experiencing hardware issues. Try the above resets, and if they don't work, you will need to go to your closest AASP or Apple Retail store for service.
Good luck. -
Last time (a few weeks ago) I had to uninstall firefox and reinstall it. Today I moved the last version to the trash and reinstalled the new version, but it still won't work. I obviously can't do this every time there is a new update. When I click on firefox, the icon bounces in the dock (like it's trying to open), and then nothing happens.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to 3.6.7 today ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16Same issue - however firefox will open but I can not click on only of my tool bar shortcuts - the writing on the google age is greyed out so I can not click on anything. Still no resolution? I have deleted the folders and re-installed - it will open and then locks and it will not work????

New Windows 2008 guest will not start in OVM 3.0.3
First off - seems I can't open an SR on MetaLink as the Oracle VM product isn't listed (even in the 'All Products' list)... any thoughts on that one?
But here is the real problem I have...
We are trying to create a Win Svr 2008 guest in our OVM 3.0.3 environment.
On machine start, the job shows 'In Progress' and the server is shown as locked.
If we try to open a console window, VNC fails with 'Connection Closed'
I've tried setting "boot='d'" in the vm.cfg file however we still receive the same result.
The host is an IBM x3650 M4 currently hosting 3 other Linux guests.
The current vm.cfg contents are listed below.
And what is the usbdevice='tablet' about? That's a new one on me...

Early 2008 iMac will not reinstall OSX or restore from backup
My system started rebooting on startup a few weeks ago. It would eventually get so I could use it. I backed all my important files except for some audiobooks from the library I had saved to iTunes and some archived emails on my HD. Now, I can't get the system to reinstall OSX Mavericks or restore from Backup. They start but then reboot. Disk utility is now showing the HD as verified. I installed the 6GB memory pack from OWC about 3 weeks before everything started to go downhill. I had no prior problems with the memory upgrade. I even removed the 4 GB module. Still no improvement. Does anyone have any Idea how I can retrieve my audiobooks and email files and save them on my PC laptop? Thanks!
When I try to boot up in Safe Mode, sometimes I get 3 beeps which repeat over and over. I tried to repair disk, it said to erase the disk, format and restore from backup. The backup stops after about 3 percent of the restore is accomplished. I am super frustrated!!!

Computer will not start up, get blue screen only
When I try to boot from a newly cloned and installed hard drive on my PowerBook, I only get a blue screen with progress wheel. I read in one of the forums that this may be caused by an incompatible Startup Item. There is one Startup Item listed that I am not sure about called "System Events." Is this necessary and can it be deleted? It is found in /system/library/core services/system events. Another is Iomega Driver, buried deep the system library. These items do not appear in the list on my G4 FW800. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Am using the latest version 3.1. Am really concerned as to the Startup Item "System Events." What is it, what does it do, is it a necessary Startup Item and can it be deleted from the list?
If all else fails, I will zero out the drive and try to re-clone. However, I just went through this on a WD 250GB drive and had nothing but problems. The clone went well, but after 2 weeks of running, folder icons started to disappear and finally the drive would not re-boot. Got many Kernel Panics. Testing the drive, I got and error message saying that the drive had "Invalid Key Lengths", "Volume Check Failed" and "The underlying task reported failed on exit." Don't have a clue as to what this means.
For this latest problem, I am using a Seagate 160GB ATA drive, purchased new.
