Help -can't start up after uupgrade and 'internet cleanup' install

I've got a problem... trying to remember how my installs went, but recently installed 10.5.4 and shortly thereafter a smith micro product called internet cleanup. in addition, during the restart, the air conditioner for our upstairs (computer / exercise room died and at 85F or so, returned to find the fans running full blast and the international "NO" sign in place of the gray apple at startup.
I am unable to start up at this point and don't know why. I have run disk utility and repaired 1 permission, no joy, and ran disk warrior last night and still can't start up. OS cd and DW see my drive ok and perform tests and repairs ok, but still can't start up.
if anyone has a recommendation, I'm all ears. I'm ready to start unplugging any peripherals, open the case, and unplug memory, not knowing what else to do.
thanks in advance,

Get a UPS 1500VA for your Mac Pro.
I would be surprised Smith is 10.5.x compatible, why not look at Onyx or Leopard Cache Cleaner, or just manually clean out ~/Library/Caches/
Resetting the SMC (button for pre-2008, leaving unplugged for 2008 model).

Obviously first, if DW repairs your drive and you are running 10.5.4, you have another disk drive and can boot, no?
Backups and cloned system?
Else, start installing and setting up a new OS boot drive. Later you can try to merge or migrate and salvage files and applications.

  • The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

    The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

    If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required.  You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

    Do you get an error number? What is the exact message?
    Two things to try.
    - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
    - Launch the App Store.
    If that doesn't work, try an App Store reset and then try again.

  • Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP

    Hi,
    I have been using Eclipse SDK Version: 3.1.2 Build id: M20060118-1600 and Web Tools Project 1.0.2 and Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5 for about 2 months with no problems. But now I Can't start Tomcat after installing Bea WorkShop for JSP plug-in. I get "Server Tomcat v5.0 @ localhost failed to start". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I installed BEA Workshop for JSP Version: 3.1.0
    Build id: 536. I only wanted to install the plug-in to my existng Eclipse 3.1 / WTP application. The only option that I saw was to download the entire FullWorkshopFreeInstall-536.zip, which is 192,496 KB. During the installation, there is a screen that you can specify to only install the plug-in - and I selected that option. Today, I chose to uninstall the BEA Workshop for JSP and then I was again able to start Tomcat server. I then did a complete install of BEA Workshop for JSP into a totally separate location. My original Eclipse installation still works fine, but my Workshop for JSP Version (which is now a completely new installation) has the same problem with Tomcat that I reported with the plug-in. I am using j2sdk1.4.2_08 and have tried both Tomcat 5.0 and Tomcat 5.5. I have the same problem with both Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional.
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Can't Start Portal After Install

    After downloading and installing the of evaluation Portal 4.0 SP1, I get the following message upon startup when I enter the system password that I entered during installation:

    The WebLogic Server did not start up properly.
    Exception raised:

    I even tried "weblogic" for the system password and I get the same message.
    What password should I use to start the server?

    I've followed the directions and am experiencing the exact same problem. Brand
    new installation of Weblogic server 6.1 SP2 with examples. That install is working.
    Then added Portal 4.0 SP1, updated the license file and I have the same issue
    with the Illegal access exception resulting in the "Fatal initialization exception"....
    Hmm!

    Below listed are the common errors you run into during installation
    process:
    - You need to have the correct version numbers of both the weblogic
    server and the portal server. For instance the portal server 4.0 (eval
    copy) will only run on WebLogic 6.1 SP1. So check the edocs for
    supported platforms
    - Make sure you have the installed the full version of the weblogic
    server (including examples)
    - Finally, you need to run the UpdateLicense.cmd file to update the
    license.bea under ur Bea Root
    Give it a shot after u have checked all of the above three - goodluck

  • How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded

    I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
    more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
    I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So  i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

    It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
    by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang?  Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
    If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
    Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
    To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions.  (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
    If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
    You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
    Can you launch Photos at all?  If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary.

    Solving MSVCR80 issue and Windows iTunes install issues.
    If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
    HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
    HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

    Take it to an Apple Genius Bar to be checked out. It will either be the battery or the Logic board (not sure the charging circuit is a separate part. If it is then it mya be just that part).
    If logic board just use it plugged in as for the cost of changing out the logic board you can buy a new system.

    Yeah, Siri - a headline feature on the iPhone 4s page - is beta at the mo.
    But then anyone who's used Macs for a few years will know that most new software is pretty much still in beta when it's released anyway. Only Apple could get away with it and retain customers

    Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

    Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
    It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
    Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install.

    As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.
