EMac Freeze on 'waiting for local disks' startup bar

hello!
my emac is starting up completely normally except when the startup bar gets to "waiting for local disks", where it freezes, although i do have control of the mouse when this happens. i left my computer on all day (maybe 11 hours) and when i returned, it was still in this state. restarting the computer without an ethernet cable results in the same issue.
is there anything else i can be doing to fix this? i didn't think this would be much of an issue, so i haven't done anything besides restart without the ethernet cable. please help!

nevermind! i had a corrupt DataTraveler® 2 GB usb attached to it during startup... removed that and it works fine

Won't boot up, it says "Waiting for local disks"

The other day I got a warning that I was running out of disk space and that I should delete some files off my computer. I was going to do that, but I didn't for some reason and then shut down the computer. Now when I try to start up the computer it will start booting up--but then it gets to, "Waiting for local disks" and won't go past that. Will a 512mb internal memory card solve the problem?

Ridders3425's tip on holding the mouse button down on startup should work fine. You should be aware that when burning a disc, you really need at least as much free space on the hard drive as the size of the disc being burned; e.g., about 640MB for CD-R, 4.7 GB for DVD-R. Allowing a few hundred MB for the system swap files, and you get the rule of thumb to keep 1 to 5 GB free space on the hard drive. That's to allow for creation of the temporary scratch files that are creating durning the burning process. That puts you in a Catch-22 situation when you get the running of of drive space warning: you needd to delete some files to gain space, but you can't really back anything up safely without free space to start with.
Do you have access to another Mac? You could then use a Firewire cable to connect the two and try to boot your eMac as the target disk; refer to How to use FireWire target disk mode. You can then use the other Mac to perform the backup of files and to remove enough unneeded filed from the eMac to permit it to boot.

Waiting for local disks??? problems with fans and starting up

Hello and please help me. My late 03 Mac isn't loading up. It gets past the grey bit and onto the loading part where everythings going fine until it stops on 'waitng for local disks' the fans then start to go nuts and I have to switch it off manually cos nothing is responding and I fear it may blow up. There's no disks in the drive and I've tried pressing the pmu button, disconnecting the wires and rebooting it from the original disk (when I do the latter it simply loads back up and stops at, yep you guessed it...waiting for local disks)
Any suggestions before I take it into an apple store?

Hi! Try restarting with the mouse button down to eject the disc. After you get the disc out if it still won't boot hold the option key down until the disk comes up and you can select the correct one to start from. All else fails boot from the install disc ("c" key down at startup with the disc inserted) and run the repair disk function of disk utility as per THIS. Tom

Freezes on "Searching for local disks" on boot up

I installed 10.3 on my G4 recently. Everything worked fine for about a week, and then during boot up the progress bar gets about 75% done and gets stuck on "Searching for local disks". It never moves on. I tried going to disk utility, I get to the first page asking which language to use and I hit english. It moves to the next page, to prepare installation, and it just freezes. I can move the cursor, but nothing will happen. I cannot run disk utility or reinstall. It just stalls at this point. Any ideas?!

JRH13:
Try this:
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously later.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command + Option + P + R keys immediately after the startup chime.
• Hold keys down until you hear the startup chime for the third time.
• Release the keys and immediately hold down Shift key to start up in Safe Mode.
• Log in and empty Trash.
• Restart normally and log in.

Searching for local disks--keeps coming on during boot up--HELP!

Will it boot in Safe Mode? See

Takes a while to run, but it usually "fixes" problems.

Waiting for the disks to reappear

Hi. Yesterday I was copying some files to my 32gb microSD drive during the night. Probably the computer went to sleep during the copying and now I can't use the drive. I tried to fix it in disk utility, but it says the drive has only 8,4mb and I can't use first aid, erase, nothing. I tried to partition it and it stucks at "Waiting for the disks to reappear". I tried terminal too - diskutil eraseDisk HFS+ newdisk disk1. Same. Waiting for the disks to reappear at 50%.
I even tried to format it on windows, but it says it can't format it too.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks a lot.
(sorry for my bad english)

I have a 16GB usb stick. I have the exact problem as well. I cannot erase the drive.
I have been trying to erase/partition it in the hopes of erasing the files in contains because they have been corrupted

X6 freezes on Waiting for GPS

HI I have a Nokia X6, and the maps and voice navigation used to work really well, but for the last few weeks, when I try to use it, it freezes on the Waiting for GPS screen and never actually connects. Have had the phone for nearly 2 years but never had this problem before, altho I don't use the GPS function much. I believe I have updated all recent software, I did it this morning thru my computer using Nokia software updater. Any ideas?

Hey mssndependant, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
Have you made sure that
-A-GPS is activated
-That you are able to receive packet data
-You have not maxed out your data plan allowance with your service provider?
If you have checked all of these and they are all fine, it might be a hardware issue and you will need to take the device to your local Nokia Care point to get your device inspected by a technical expert.
I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further queries!

I was just going to suggest these two solutions myself. If you've got the time, check into this stuff.
1) use Thread.join() to wait (block) until a given
Thread completes its task.
2) Bite the bullet and learn how to use
wait()/notify() (Google should send you to some good
tutorials). Granted, it can be a complex topic, but
it is vital to know if you want to write efficient
asynchronous programs.
Good luck!

Machine freeze, timeout waiting for nf to load

my imac27 was randomly freezing requiring reboot, other times kernel panicking.
apple changed the logicboard after doing some diagnostics.
for a while it was fine -- then began freezing again.
console logs seem to show the following repeated kernel error
Timeout while waiting for nf to load: > AR_PHY_AGC_CONTROL=0x40d22
this is logged multiple times (2 dozen) before the system eventually freezes.
searching on this error -- seems to point to a network problem. either base station/WAP or wireless NIC in the imac, but i can't be sure and the details are still murky.
can anyone shed light here?

I have exactly the same problem.
Apple changed the bluetooth module, but the problem is still hier.
Someone has got a solution?

Waiting for the disks to reappear with new 1 TB internal drive

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro 17inch Late 2011 model with OS X installed 10.10.1
Ran for two years with a 256 GB ssd boot drive and a 750 GB toshiba secondary internal drive.
Last week I replaced the 256 GB sad with a 1 TB SAMSUNG ssd, cloned it and it works fine.
I am writing this email on said mac
This week I updated the secondary 750 GB drive with a 1 TB Seagate ST1000LM014-1EJ164.
The Seagate is recognised by Disk Utility and when I try to format it as a 1 partion Mac OS Extended (Journaled) it allows me to do so.
Then the message comes up that it is waiting for the drive to reappear message. I have waited over night, all day, tried all combinations of the format, etc with out luck and with the same error.
So I took an identical model drive that I installed on one of my windows notebooks that had been running for a week with out issues and it has given me the same problem.
Any comments appreciated !
Br, mitch

What happens when you connect that 1 TB Seagate externally via USB?
Ciao.

Workshop keep waiting for server's startup

1. just downloaded and installed WebLogic Server and workshop 8.1.
2. created a doamin using workshop
3. created a default app using workingshop
4. start weblogic server from workshop
Although server has been started successfullyk, workshop seems does not know this and keeps waiting. Finally workshop give up and "server stopped" is still displayed in workshop.
I did not have such problem before. anyone can help? thanks

All I have at home is my linksys router.
I loaded Dreamweaver on my Windows XP version on my Mac and
didn't test a Dreamweaver for Mac install yet.

When loading a game in facebbok my browser gets stuck in a loop - Status bar says "transferring data" then "reading" then "waiting for app" the advert bar flashes up, then the screen clears and it all starts again.

The game is "secret plant society" which is a flash based application. I have tried the game in another browser where it is working fine.

if we sign in with free ID the loop unlucks and then you can either transfer your purchases using iTunes or restore to the best back up and once done the problem is solved for ever; though I deleted some contents such as iTunesU and some rarely used apps.

[Solved] Wait for external usb disk before mounting partition

Hello,
I have a fresh setup where 3 btrfs subvolumes are supposed to be mounted on /var /home and /opt. Those subvolumes are on an external usb drive (root fs is on a sd card).
During boot, systemd tries to mount /var first but encounter "var not empty, mounting anyway" (probably due to several boot attempts) and then "special device uUID=12f15a3e-cf5c-4bc2-9475-6b4686a30f90 does not exist" where 12f15a3e-cf5c-4bc2-9475-6b4686a30f90 is the correct id of the drive.
From journactl extract it seems that usb drive is not ready yet when /var is being mounted.
Is there a way to make systemd wait for "the disk is ready" before trying to mount /var ?
Information:
- mounting /var in rescue mode works perfectly (mount -o subvol=var /dev/sda /var)
- device is a raspberry but I think it has no link to the issue (except maybe being slow to send power to usb)
- the usb drive is behind a 4 port usb hub (externally powered)
- the usb drive indeed take some time to be powered up
- /home and /opt are mounted in rescue mode automatically a few seconds later

Unable to discover local disks in T5220

According to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35328_01/E35332/html/vmusg-storage-types.html#vmusg-storage-local
I should be able to use extra disks in a T5220 to store VMs:
Local storage consists of hard disks installed locally in your Oracle VM Server. In a default installation, Oracle VM Server will only use the first disk (/dev/sda), leaving other disks available for storage.
As long as no partition and data are present the device will be detected as a raw disk. The choice is yours to use the local disks either to provision logical storage volumes as disks for virtual machines or to install a storage repository. If you place a storage repository on the local disk, an OCFS2 file system is installed.
But I am unable to discover these disks using Oracle VM Manager 3.2.2.520, managing a host running Solaris 11.1 with latest version of VM Server for SPARC:
# pkg list | grep ldom
consolidation/ldoms/ldoms-incorporation     0.5.11-0.175.1.9.0.4.0   i--
system/ldoms    0.5.11-0.175.1.9.0.2.2    i--
system/ldoms/ldomsmanager    3.0.0.4-0.175.1.9.0.4.0    i--
I suspect that it is because "partition and data are present" on the disk, but I don't know how to delete partitions with the format command, only change them to unassigned and zero length, and that didn't work:
partition> p
Current partition table (original):

7 unassigned    wm       0                0         (0/0/0)             0
I can't make slice 2 size zero, otherwise when I run label to write the changes I get an error. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? Thanks!

The reason you can't do this, is that the currently shipping support for Oracle VM Manager on SPARC systems is only for NFS. The paragraph you are quoting is from the base Oracle VM manual and that section applies to x86. /dev/sda is a Linux convention, not Solaris, so it wouldn't apply here.
If you go to the Oracle VM Server for SPARC documentation at Oracle VM for SPARC Documentation and then select View Library for Release 3.0 at
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37707_01/index.html
you will see a page with all the documents for the current release. Pick the "Oracle VM Manager 3.2: Quick Start Guide for Managing Oracle VM Server for SPARC" at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/ovm3-sparc-quick-start-guide-1900072.pdf
You are running the correct version of Solaris 11 and the logical domains manager, so you should be able to discover the server, networks, and file-based repositories, but you'll have to wait till a later release provides support for local disk, FC SAN, and iSCSI. I hope this helps explain the situation.

Startup hangs at "Waiting for Internet Services"

I have a Quicksilver 800 and after a power outage when I tried to restart my Mac the startup hangs at "Waiting for Internet Services" and will not get to the login window. I ran a disk repair, permissions repair, and ran Disk Warrior with no luck. I'd appreciate any help you can give.

William, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Will it boot from your system CD?
Is the Startup Disk set to start from your HD or a Network?
Many times after a power failure, the Mac won't startup & you have to do a PMU reset. See Mac PRAM, NVRAM, CUDA/PMU & Battery Tutorial
 Cheers, Tom
