Fonts causing major system lag

Some of my fonts are causing my system to get bogged down. (one i downloaded in particular called "City Burn"). I haven't used the font much before (like once on OS 10.5), but now I will be using it all the time in 10.6. I don't recall it lagging in 10.5 the few times i used it, but now in 10.6, it causes so much lag that my presentation software (ProPresenter) can't even transition nicely with it... Photoshop have major lag with it too (though that is less of a problem since i don't use photoshop live ever, so i can deal with the lag)
How do I make my font not cause lag? HELP!

But would that explain why it didn't lag in 10.5, but does in 10.6?
Snow Leopard was essentially a complete rewrite of the OS as 64 bit. This includes the type engine, which still has some glitches. So SL may have problems handling the font that Leopard had no apparent trouble with.
and would RAM errors cause the processor to be running at full?
Yes. Just as a corrupt application can, a bad font (fonts are actually small programs) can cause buffer overflows into RAM that is not assigned to it.
If you have performance issues when just that one font is active, and everything returns to normal when you turn it off, then the font is most definitely bad and shouldn't be used.
Edit: Is this same font?

If so, that is one BAD font. About a billion points, many overlapping. Ditch it.

Major system lag during reboot after install

had a leopard since release date, and have noticed something recently. It seems when ever I install a 3rd party app, the next time I got to reboot the system lags out with my desktop visible and the spinning gear thingy, but no finder, or dock. It just sits here for minutes until I press the power button to shut it down and then do a hard boot. Next time i go to restart it works fine. Any one else getting this? Is this some new maintenance it does that I am cutting short after over 5 minutes of this "lag" time?

< Just to further update - I am no longer having issues with the "you have installed drivers without rebooting", but every time I do install the X-Fi vista driver, vista hangs on the reboot...it will get to varying stages through the scrolling green bar welcome screen thing, and then will hang. Every time I do successfully boot, it says "No Audio Output Device is installed".
Any ideas?
It's getting rather frustrating...

Major system lag after 10.5.2 update

Hi,
I just updated to 10.5.2 today. After updating, I noticed that there is horrendous system lag which renders the computer almost unusable. I tried repairing permissions but that did not fix it. What should I do? Interestingly, while the machine is updating permissions there is no lag at all. However, after the repair is complete, it starts lagging again.
Thanks

Hmm, thanks for the info but unfortunately I do not use canon printers. I installed my old HP printer software since it was appearing in the console but I still experience a lot of system hang.
Here is some other stuff from the console that appears every time I reboot:

Connecting iPod causes major system slowdown

I bought the iPod a week ago, and this behaviour has been consistent from the first time I plugged it into the Windows XP SP2 computer. When the iPod is plugged in, the service "iPodService.exe" starts up and then the entire computer grinds to a halt. I've looked at the Task Manager and noticed that both "iPodService.exe" and "Services.exe" are tying up all available resources. If I choose "iPodService.exe" and end the process, "Services.exe" immediately drops to 0% and the system goes back to a normal level of functioning and responsivness. Ending iTunes doesn't seem to cause "iPodService.exe" to release, which is why I had to force the ending of that process.
Any suggestions are really welcome. I don't think that I should be having to go through this everytime I want to update/charge the iPod.
Windows XP

Hi,
Try to restore your iPod to the factory setting with iTunes 7, if does not work, likely there may be some problems on your OS. And you may need to reinstall the XP on your PC again.
But before doing these, please try to connect your iPod with other PC, see if it causes the same problem

Overheating? (Causing major system slowdown)

The laptop stands on a wooden table, with constant new air coming in from the open windows in the room.
It reaches 95° celcius and 6205 fan rpm while running some games.... It's extremely annoying because it makes the game unplayable. I get 5 fps when it reaches like.. over 90° celcius.

Thermal Paste is the culprit.
The reason thermal paste exists, is because heat doesn't conduct between the CPU & the heatsink very well. To solve this, thermal paste properly conducts heat to fill the gap between the CPU & HEATSINK. But putting too thicker layer on, and instead of assisting in transferring the heat between the CPU & the heatsink, you are making that gap wider, and the head can't get out as easily.
Unfortunately, it appears cheaper for Apple to squirt thermal paste in a big blob onto the CPU, and push the Heatsink on top. This allows their assembly plant to get through more CPU's per hour I guess??
This has been going on for 6 years that I know of since my first Powerbook. Ever since I sat it on some phone books stil wrapped in plastic, and the plastic melted onto the bottom.
Users have reported at least a 20ºC drop in temperature, by scraping off all the caked on thermal paste, and re-applying Artic Ice in the properly instructed "thin sparingly layer". However this obviously voids your warrantly.
I emailed Steve about this a few months back.

"feeds and updates" widget causing major lag since froyo

Hey guys,
Ive noticed that ever since I downloaded the Froyo OTA update last week, the "feeds and updates" widget is causing MAJOR lag issues. It takes several seconds to move from that screen that the widet is on, and trying to scroll through the widget is VERY slow and choppy. I have tried both the soft reset and the hard reset, without any improvement. If I remove the widget from the screen, my phone gets significantly faster, and the lag pretty much disappears, so Im pretty sure its that widget causing the problem. Has anyone else noticed this problem, and if so, is there any way to fix it? I like using that widget for my facebook updates, and want to keep it!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate and since the Froyo 2.2 OTA update last week, my phone turns into a brick as soon as I add my Facebook account to the Feeds and Updates widget. The screen locks up, I can not scroll the wall up and down, and scrolling the screens left and right takes forever; they freeze between screens and everything lags to the point where the phone becomes useless. I powered the phone down and up, took the battery out, no remedy. A hard reset on the phone will make the phone usable again, but as soon as I add Facebook back to the Feeds and Updates widget, the phone starts locking up again. Called Verizon and they reached out to Samsung who thought there was a glitch during the download of the 2.2 software, so Verizon sent me a replacement phone of the same make and model. As soon as I activated it, it told me Froyo 2.2 was ready to be downloaded to the phone for updating. Did that, everything was working fine UNTIL I added my Facebook account to the Feeds and Updates widget; the phone started lagging and locking up as the previous one did. I'm waiting to talk to Level 3 support with Samsung as I write this. Please note, if I reset the phone and don't add my Facebook account to the Feeds and Updates widget, the phone is usable. However, I did notice that in Vibrate Mode with text message and email notification, the vibration barely lasted a millisecond; I could not feel the vibrations in my pocket. In my opinion, this 2.2 update is flawed and needs re-working. I had no issues with this phone with the 2.1 software, and would prefer to go back to it if possible until 2.2 is fixed or another, non-buggy update is released for this phone.
If that is your wish for now, I see no problem in you going back to 2.1. Verizon support should be able to provide you with that os. Just be sure you don't then check for any new updates.

Major Photoshop Lag - 2013 MacPro

Having some major Photoshop problems, and this is a BRAND NEW computer, just put into production...
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.
Initially, everything works great. However, after working for about 30 min to 1 hour, or retouching about 15-20 images, the clone tool preview starts lagging heavily. The tool itself moves fine, but the preview only appears when I stop movement of the tool. It doesn't do this initially. Also, when this starts happening, just moving a small layer around also lags. It doesn't matter what size the file is either. The only way to fix it is to reset my preferences. However, after a short amount of time, it does it again.
Here is a list of things that I have tried but hasn't fixed the problem:
Disabled plugins.
Made sure my tablet driver was up to date.
Closed Photoshop and use Memory Clean to free up memory.
Rebooted Mac.
Did a hard reset on the Mac as well as cleared PRAM.
Ran the Apple Hardware Test (had no errors).
Unplugged any extra peripherals (wacom tablet, extra monitor, all external hard drives)
Uninstalled Photoshop CC 2014 and used the cleaner tool from Adobe to remove all files.
Adobe tech support had me make a new Mac admin account.Adobe tech also had me log in to root and try.Adobe tech checked my Photoshop settings, cache levels, graphics card settings etc.
Disabled any fonts other than system fonts.
Downloaded and installed older Photoshop CC version. (no extra brushes, plug-ins, actions etc. were installed).
Worked off of one monitor with minimal palettes open.
I feel like after trying all this stuff, it's definitely a bug in the program.
The KEY test here is the following:
I even sent my preferences file to a friend who also has a 2013 Mac Pro. When he uses my preferences file, his does the EXACT same thing. However, the difference being, when he goes back to his old preferences file, the problem doesn't come back like mine.
Again, I have tried Photoshop CC 2014 AND CC without any plug ins, extra brushes, actions, styles, shortcuts, etc. and it still does it.
I'm running a 2013 Mac Pro Quad 37 GHz CPU, which has dual Firepro D300's with 2GB video ram, and 12GB of 1866MHz DDR3 RAM. Mac was purchased brand new. OS is Yosemite 10.10.2
here's a video showing the exact problem... (working even on a low resolution .jpg which should be blinding fast)
http://youtu.be/IbOr-_30P5k
Adobe is trying to help, but getting nowhere, and this IS a problem, it's a brand new machine with a brand new install of the OS, and a fresh new user account, and a fresh install of CC2014, this should not be happening.
By simple process of elimination tests, this cannot be a hardware error or an OS error or anything of that nature, otherwise it would not replicate the problem on a friend's MacPro who I send my prefs file to... the fact that the prefs file replicates the problem, PROVES it's a problem with the adobe software. and a solution must be out there?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it.
Now, interesting thing is, I know of two other Macpro's one 2013, and one an older quad-core macpro 4,1 both running 10.10.2 and neither of those have this issue?
and the other confusing part to me about this, is why would friend's 2013 Macpro NOT have this issue until using THIS prefs file, if it was an Apple thing?
thanks for your help!

Major Scrolling Lag!

Dear All,
I have been suffering from this major scrolling lag on my mid 2012 macbook air 13.
The lag is not only persistant to chrome or safari but also exists while scrolling between desktops, in the launchpad, in preview, word, system preferences....its omni-present.
I started facing this problem since 4 days back, almost a month after installing mavericks. I have never faced such an issue while using mountain lion.
I'm posting the results of Etre-Check for your reference:

I'd really appreciate some help with this issue.

Huge advantage for $170 more
why?
802ac wifi.
Haswell cool processing and long battery life.
Much more lightweight.
Faster SSD
Absolutely yes its worth the $170
The 802ac wifi alone is worth it, it will run circles around everything else in wireless speeds.

A seeming small change by Verizon causes major monetary and unrecoverable damages

A seeming small change by Verizon causes major monetary and unrecoverable damages
Back, I think in March or so, Verizon changed how they bill. Prior to this time frame my elderly mom paid the phone bill and I paid the DSL bill. The DSL bill came on my name and I paid by credit card and the phone bill came under her name and she paid by direct debit. She will not use a computer.
So, they make both bills on her name and won't change it. They did, however, allow the payment from my credit card.
The first unfortunate consequence was the internet speed suddenly dropped in speed by a factor of 2 to 1.5/364 and it did take me probably a month to notice it. NO ONE that I called was able to find the problem. It took multiple attempts until some bright “call in technician” said the problem is on their end and could be fixed in software. Thus, I believe, because of the name change, the provision changed too. The phone line crapped out too at this time.
The troubleshooting was stupid too. I took another modem and connected it directly to the NID and directly to the laptop and the technician on the phone said, it's either in your house or your modem and wanted to send me a new modem which they did. I don' get it. This is the wrong conclusion.
This shows the need of modems like Westell 2200 and the Westell 6100 because of the ability to measure line statistics and provisioned data rates.
Verizon sent me a D-link model DSL-2750B modem which I have to return because its just plain old stupid. It boasts Wireless n and the wired ports are 10/100. What's up with that? Next, there are no line stats and a horrible interface, akin to Verizon's website. Still can't figure out how to put it in Bridge mode. I own a D-link repeater and the interface is fine.
I asked them what modem they would send me and they would not tell me, so I got whatever piece of junk they had lying around.
I have now purchased a Network RAID array with no wireless access and with ~400 mb/s access rates. Yep, really stupid router.
Because of the number of outages, I have to be able to quickly switch from a bridge connected modem, Westel 6100) to one that is connected in direct mode, a Westell 2200 It's almost easy, but not quite, since the equipment is up in the rafters in the laundry room. The DSL cable is commercial terminated CAT5, which is rare. The modem is within 6' of the NID.
Plans include, the ability to switch the DSL line with a switch with positions for Modem #1 (Bridge), Modem #2(Wired), #3(RJ11 – Normal wiring) and #4: RJ-11 (Reverse wiring) and moving the direct connect jack for easy access. In any event, testing with the DSL modem at the NID is the gold standard.
In progress, is a 48 port Gigabit patch panel for phone and Ethernet, A separate 24 port RED patch panel will be bridged for phone.
I have already upgraded my network infrastructure to include a UPS for the network infrastructure and POE (Power over Ethernet) for the DSL modem. The UPS backup does not backup a repeater although it may in the future.
Now, let's go back to this seeming innocuous billing change.
So, this constant having to access the modem in the alternate configuration and a medical condition (migraines) that makes it hard to think clearly. So, in one of these episodes, I placed my laptop on top a container that was soaking laundry.
So, the LCD screen has to be replaced at $300 and the battery had to be replaced. Then the Ethernet cord to the modem got pulled and caused the laptop to fall on the floor. It worked for a few weeks and then suffered an UNRECOVERABE hard drive crash.
During this time frame, in fact over a 2 day period. My mom ended up in the hospital and to a rehab facility. My car ended up staying in the shop for a few days because of parts unavailability. My hard drive crashed and their was water in the basement. I don't have time for this.
Recovery would have cost $2004.00, if it were possible. I only have a drive image from 2011 which I have yet to try to use. I' now running UBUNTU Live rather than Windows 7 Pro. Some of the very important stuff was backed up on Flash, but a lot of stuff is gone forever.
Plans are to contact the billing office and the attorney general's office in the state where billing questions need to be resolved.
The last outage, fixed on July 27, was flagged as a phone outage by Verizon, when 18 routers supposedly died. 18 routers suspiciously means that they they were not adequately protected against surges. Verizon should look at the way DelMarVa Power reports outages: see: Delmarva, Put the usual World Wide Web Prefix and the COMercial domain suffix
For god's sake, quit making the website circular. I though Yahoo was the expert in that. I never visit Verizon's website unless there are problems. I mistaking thought I could find outage information, say using my phone's browser. This time I had to purchase service from CLEAR internet to ride me through this fix.
I know, you can't fix stupid and you can always find a better idiot. Comcast is looking more attractive.
Compensation of or my loss I will probably never get, but maybe with the help of the attorney general I can get the billing fixed. I do have power of attorney. Now, of course, the name the Verizon Website addresses me as is not right on this forum.
All, basically because of Verizon's unreliable network, incompetent people and the lack of maintenance of copper lines. The problem is, “We have little choice”. Currently, we need traditional land-line service to support an Emergency Response system. It's unclear whether digital phone lines support Faxes and alarm monitoring reliably.
I'll bet that there is NO WAY to tell Verizon if a service address as special needs like Emergency Medical reporting via phone or Internet, so that priorities for repair can be done properly. Utilities have that capability. Those ares with people with oxygen generators or other medical equipment get a higher priority,

That should not be happening. I sympathize with both of you (you and the the person who strated this thread). That sounds like the reason I would never want Dish.
I am fortunate that my service with Verizon Fios has been very reliable and that I haven't had too many issues over the years. But don't get me started on Verizon Wireless. I am through with doing any more business with them once my cell phone minutes run out. I love it when they say they have done everything the could to investigate such a simple issue with running my debit card transaction wrong and blaming it on my bank, i.e. running it through as a "debit" when I choose "credit" all of a sudden now two times in a row after 4 years of doing it right as "credit". And now they consider the issue closed on their end when nothing has been resolved. That's no way to treat a long time customer and I really felt treated like I was a bother to them. It's not like I ever paid them much money for this pre-paid cell phone service that I have used infrequently but I was really mad at the way they just wrote this off and pretty much told me "too bad". Talk about "customer non-service". It's also very hard to track the number of minutes left on my balance. I'm due for an upgrade anyway. I want to switch to the I-Phone from this flip phone but never again with Verizon Wireless. T-Mobile is way more attractive. Verizon Wireless is not only an entity separatedfrom Fios but it's definitely a much different animal and their customer service has really gone downhill. When you're treated like they don't care, it's maddening.
My customer service experience with Fios overall has been far superior to that most of the time. My setup is simple and even though there are some people who will inevitably complain about anything just to vent, I definitely believe at least some of what is posted here. And switching TV, phone, and Internet providers is a lot more involved than switching a cell phone provider.

Slow render times with large jpegs - complete system lag

In a project i'm working on I have two large jpegs with a small zoom scaling effect. Going from 100 to 103 percent.
I've noticed that both Adobe Media Encoder and Premiere Pro experience a heavy slow down in render time as soon as the jpegs have to be rendered.
Not only does the render speed almost come to a halt, the complete system lags very heavy, even the mouse cursor won't respond well.
This happens when i have GPU acceleration enabled and when i do a 2 pass H264 encoding.
When I have the GPU acceleration disabled the render goes very smooth, and doesn't seem to slow down...
The jpeg is 4023 x 2677, and 6,97 MB large.
Scaling the jpeg down to about 1920x1080 in Photoshop and put that one in the timeline made the render go a lot faster.
I understand that a large picture takes a bit more time to be rendered, but we're talking about a 10minute render whit the large jpeg file and a 2 minute render with the jpeg resized.
The total time of the two jpegs in the video is 5 seconds in a 3 minutes video.
So, that made me think that the render times are exponentially long.
In the timeline everything runs really smooth.
Is this considered normal, I can't remember having such big differences in CS5. It's not a major thing, but I wanted to share anyway.

Font book keeps enabling ALL of my fonts - Overloading my system

When I restart my computer or just Font Book, Font Book enables ALL of my fonts. I have over 1100 fonts. It eats up all of my RAM (3GB) and the computer grinds to a slow crawl. I have deselected "automatic font activation" in preferences. I have created "collections" so I can activate and de-activate groups and manage the many fonts. I can even go through EVERY non-system font and manually deactivate them. But they will all activate at restart. I have been having this problem for years with ALL versions of Font Book from day 1. I am now on OSX Lion with Font Book 3.0. Same problem. Yet I see few posts about other s dealing with this. What's could be causing FB to open all fonts?
Is there a fix for this? Is Font Book worth the trouble? I have known people (also with large font collections) who claim it works fine for them. If not, how do I bring in new font managment software and shut down Font Book to avoid any conflicts?

Don't count on Font Book to help you at this point. With a lot of bad fonts on the system before, it's now likely that its database is hosed. When that happens, Font Book does all kinds of strange things. Like not being able to activate or deactivate fonts that are in its list.
To straighten things out, do this:
1) Go directly to the following folders, not through Font Book. Delete all fonts in the /Library/Fonts/ folder. Delete all fonts in the Fonts folder of your user account.
2 Restart the Mac and hold down the Shift key to start up in Safe Mode. This takes awhile as the OS is doing multiple checks. For your particular needs, it also clears all cache files from your user account and trashes Font Book's current database.
3) When the Safe Mode startup is done, your Mac will be at what looks like your normal desktop. Restart again normally.
4) Follow the directions at the bottom of the article ~Bee linked to in order to restore just the fonts from the Snow Leopard installation disk.

Ok no difference, I don't get any drive errors that seem significant or numerous, sometimes I don't get any at all, the disk always verifies and I haven't had to run a repair on it yet. I've gotton one or two drive errors, I'll save them next time I run either DU or DW.... however with permissions, there are a lot and they all fix (except: see below: Last 3: ACL errors are always there) but as I keep having to do force quits and system re boots they keep coming back; posted them below IDK if this will help you to help me, LOL... but figured it couldn't hurt, the ones below are re-occuring I know i've seen them b4. . . Don't know if this makes a difference but on initial install I had several font conflicts w/system fonts, I renamed suitcases and that error message hasn't come back . . . but do you think this could be a font issue . . . I have like 12,000 fonts of which a couple hundred are ususally always active . . . IDK it doesn't make sense to me it would be, but you never know... just a shot in the dark
I also saved my last PS crash report and it was like 100 Pages long, I've never seen one that long, I make a pdf of it and post link to my idisk, if its something that you can interpet.

Thai Font Causing "Ozone" Crash

I am working on a FCS project that has both a Thai and English sequence. One has a Thai narration and Thai titles and cartoons and the other has English narration and English titles and cartoons.
I did all the titles and cartoons in Motion 3.02, using some fancy text behaviours on the main titles and a simple type-on and fade out behavior on the section heading lower-third titles and cartoons. I made three animated cartoons to explain 3 complex concepts and made both Thai and English versions of all three.
I used Lucidia Grande as the font for both Thai and English. Lucidia Grand works OK for Thai in Text Editor and FCP.
For about a week, I had no problems. I embedded the motion projects directly into track v2 of the FCP timeline. Everything worked fine. The Thai fonts displayed and animated nicely and I was able to edit the motion projects by right-clicking to open in editor in the FCP timeline. Great!
Then yesterday, FCP started crashing (unexpectedly quit), whenever I scrolled along to one of the Thai titles in the Thai sequence.
I tried opening the Motion project directly from the project file. But, as soon as I tried to edit anything or play the project, Motion crashed with "problem with Ozone" message.
The English text Motion projects are all still fine. They display OK in FCP, I can open them in Motion from FCP, edit them and save them.
All the Motion projects with Thai, except one cause Motion to Crash +(Fortunately, for the complex cartoons with the Thai content, I exported a .mov file a few days ago, before Motion started crashing on the Thai font. The .mov files are OK in FCP but, of course I can not edit them. For all the other Thai font projects, I have dumped the Motion projects from FCP (had to delete the whole video track as FCP would crash if the individual projects appeared on the screen), and just used FCP's text generator to display the Thai text with a simple fade-in / fade-out.)+
There are two weird things about this problem:
One of the Thai motion projects is still OK. It only has one line of Thai text and uses the Thonburi font (maybe the Lucidia Grande font is the root of the problem?). I can open it in Motion, run it, edit it, no problems. I wanted to get into the other Motion projects and change all their Thai fonts from Lucidia Grande to Thonburi but I can not. Motion crashes before I can edit the text format.
The second weird thing is the way that Motion was working fine for many days, then the problem started occuring, out of the blue. I have installed no new software, changed no settings and done nothing different than before the problem...
I am using all the latest version of OSX and FCS and all updates have been installed.
Regards
Peter

Adam,
I did try disabling the font in the Font book but that did not help. Motion obviously does not check if a font is enabled or disabled. I was going to rename or delete the problem font but the LucidaGrande font is in System>Fonts and the OS says that I do not have enough privileges to rename or delete it, even as the admin user.
For the one remaining crashing Motion project, I bit the bullet and re-built it. Fortunately, the same project in English is working so it was just a matter of changing every text box to "Thonburi" font then "copy and paste" the Thai text in from the TextEdit file where it is kept. Didn't take too long and, at this stage, it is OK for editing and exporting.
So, I am back in business.
Just made a mental note to carefully change the font of all Thai text to a dedicated Thai font, like Thonburi, before saving a Motion project. What's strange is that my Thai-language Motion projects did work OK for quite a few days with the Font set to LucidaGrande and then Motion just started crashing...
I have never quite figured out how these Asian fonts are best handled in Mac OS X. For example, the LucidaGrande font can handle Thai characters, in some software. In MS-Word for Mac, for some strange reason known only in Redmond, Thai fonts can not display in dedicated Thai fonts like Thonburi but will display in LucidaGrande. TextEdit is fine with either Thai fonts or LucidaGrande. Motion appeared to be OK with LucidaGrande, until it started crashing yesterday.
I have also decided that, until Apple improves the stability of Motion, I wont embed Motion projects in the FCP timeline, using export .mov files instead. The biggest headache caused by this font problem was having to remove a whole track of my FCP timeline and having to rebuild it. It was the only way to stop the Motion bug crashing FCP. Took me until 2am last night to get back to where I was at 9am the previous morning...
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Peter

Major system failure--crashed and could not reboot

At about 1 am (it's 3 something now) this morning I told my computer to print a simple, one page document. I received an error message, and after a few more tries my MacBook Pro froze, and the CommandOptionEscape combination was having no effect. So, I did what I did not want to do, I held down the power button and forced my computer to shut down. After waiting a few seconds and pushing the button the start-up chime sounded, and the Apple logo appeared on the screen. Everything was fine so far. Before getting to the small circle thing that normally appears below the Apple logo, the screen changed to a black screen with white font, which looked somewhat like DOS. This message was displayed:
/etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory
-Sh-2.05b# CSRHID TransitionDriver::stop
IOBluetoothHCIController::start IdleTimerStopped
I believe that I have all of the spacing correct, but I am not positive. Also, I can no longer tell wether the "-Sh-2.05b" was really "-5h-2.05b".
I tried to enter the few commands that I knew in this form, such as "macboot", but as I suspected it was futile. I attempted to reset the PRAM by forcing it to shut down, and restarting and holding down CommandOption+PR, but that did not make any noticeable changes. I tried again by forcing it off and holding down Option while restarting, and I got the black screen with white font again.
I was able to reinstall Mac OS X version 10.4.5 from the installation DVDs that came with my MacBook Pro. (I am currently running 10.4.5, but I had 10.4.6 in the previous system.) I was able to "archive" the previous OS which I booted from by selecting that option. I can luckily access these files (and have placed the most important safely on my flash drive).
I have not tried to restart or shut down since. Please respond as soon as you can. For now I can live off of this, and by setting up the Mail app and the bare necessities. I have Internet access to by AirPort.
By the way, I have never used Bluetooth devices with this (or any) computer, I have never tried to use Boot Camp to partition my hard drive to run Windows. I did not open my System Folder and tamper with it. I do not know what caused this system failure.
Thank you.
EDIT: I now have all of my email. And I discovered that my apps are in the new Applications folder. Some just need to be reconfigured.

Thanks. It makes sense, since everything froze and when I forced the computer to shut down unsaved files, and some saved ones could be corrupted. I'm glad that Apple had the insight to have the option of reinstalling the OS and archiving all the old system files on the HD. All I had to do was drop the folders, ie. Desktop, Pictures, Movies, Documents, etc, onto my new desktop and drop the files into the corresponding places in my home folder. I did have to reset the minor things, such as configure iChat, Mail and a few others (the most annoying would be that I lost all of my saved passwords, and it took several tries to remember some of them because with Firefox and Safari I save them all). There really is no longer any evidence that I ever had this problem anymore.
And I'm back in control!

I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list. It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
Let's see what we can find. I may just take it back to the Apple Store.
