Help. My little friend won't start anymore.

Started him today and there were just the powerled which gave me one blink all 5 secs., no chime but the fans and hdds are on. Also no video is avail.
What could that mean?
I pulled the ram and tested every single on in all of the four slots. Pushed the PMA/SMU button and so on.
Nothing helps right now.

That sounds like very bad solder joints to me. I use to work in a factory that did soldering with a wave soldering machine . Thats how they get the solder on the board . It should look silver in appearance , not brown or yellow . That May as well be from the heat from the motherboard causing that . If you no someone that can use a wave solder machine on it , I bet that would solve your problem . You may get people to disagree with me on that , but I bet thats all it is . The people that repair the motherboards for apple on the internet , I bet they no this and make a **** load of money off people and only resolder the motherboard with a wave solder machine . Or re-solder the memory slots on it and back in business you are .
I not that for a fact that a weak solder joint will cause this type of problem . I you look at the fact that the computer gets hot and cold . I would say that that the problem with all of or most of the motherboard problems with apple computers . But the processors can burn up and have to that matter .Most of the problems can be solved from preventive maintenance on most of computer parts . But for most of all if you have not the skill to tackle this problem you may be best off sending it out to some one that can fix it for you . I am sure that apple will no how to fix the motherboard for little money and no's of the fix for you machine first hand . thats why they charge 3500.00 for a new mac pro . Most problems are a simple fix not know to most people If you have some electronic experience you may no what I mean by this .
If you have any questions please respond.

I need help. My N97 won't start anymore...

Hi,
I've got a huge problem.
I tried to install a language pack for the dictionary (Spanish - English).
As you probably know, one has to download it from nokia.com. After getting the .sis file, I started the installation. And what happened?? My N97 crashed...
So I thought I should take out the battery inorder to reboot the OS...
But now I can't start my phone anymore. I just see the word NOKIA and thats all.
I searched everywhere inorder to reset my phone, but really nothing....
I found this: /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&thread.id=141381&view=by_date_ascending&page=2
Having read this, I assume that I can forget to ask you... since it is not possible to reset it manually.
Sarte

Very vague.
unless you give more info and explain what has happened, it is doubtful that anyone can help.

Help, my macbook pro won't start anymore

Hello all,
I have had some issues with my macbook pro lately:
A few weeks ago, my Macbook started freezing and making alarm sounds. I didn't do anything about it because it happened only a few times per week.
Suddenly it happened 4 or 5 times in a row, and after x times my Macbook wouldn't go past the grey start-up screen (Apple logo loading). So I was unable to login.
I solved the ''issue'' by erasing the disk. My Macbook worked again, but all data was gone. The freezing issue was gone as well.
But 2 days ago, it started.. again. And today, my Macbook suddenly crashed/shut down. Now, I am not even able to start my macbook. It doesn't show anything, if I press the power button, nothing happens.
I did a SMC reset, and my Macbook worked, but only for 15 minutes. It just happened again. Something is clearly wrong and I don't know what.
Sometimes, my Macbook instanly freezed when I connected the power cord. And I think the power cord is broken, last few days it barely charged the Macbook.
Please help : (.
Stores close in 2 hours (9 PM), and I need to find a solution. What do I need to replace and buy?
**PLEASE HELP**

- The memory you are talking about, that's the same as RAM right?
Yes.
It's unclear whether you did anything with the memory or not, but even if you didn't, even a Mac's originally installed RAM could fail and cause the exact symptoms you describe. To test memory you can use Apple Hardware Test, though only a report of a failure can be considered definitive.
Also, I checked my magsafe, and the 2 power connectors are a little bit curved/bent. I am planning on buying a new Magsafe + new RAM (memory?). I think that will fix it?
I don't know, but it's not a good idea to use a power adapter or a MagSafe connector that you know is damaged.
For a definitive diagnosis it would be best to take your Mac to an Apple Store for evaluation. Schedule an appointment. Bring your power adapter. Even if you have to purchase a new power adapter there, the price isn't very different than you are likely to find anywhere else. Counterfeit, non-Apple power adapters can be hazardous to you, your Mac, your property, or all three, so buy it from Apple.
Memory on the other hand is another story. You can purchase RAM guaranteed to work from one of two vendors known to support Macs - Crucial or OWC / MacSales - much cheaper than from Apple.

X11 won't start anymore!

Hello,
this is a desperate call: I am at a conference with my MBP, (10.6.7, all updates done). I need Matlab for my presentation, which needs X11.
X11 (and XQuartz) decided that they won't start anymore: the icon bounces in the dock for a while, then sits there without the little light underneath, and X11 is "non responding".
The logs show something like this.
I have googled and searched: similar problems once in a while appear but no posted solution.
I tried:
1) reinstalling XQuartz (I would reinstall X11, but how? I do not have the disks with me, I am away!)
2) from an admin account
3) create a new account.
4) repair permissions.
5) reinstall the font update from Apple that was recently issued.
HELP PLEASE!!!

Here is the solution: there was nothing wrong with x11 per se!
The problem was that about 30 files in /usr/bin (like gzip, egrep, hexdump etc) had been hosed (they had 0 file size). The puzzling messages was due to the fact that startx uses hexdump, which was simply silently doing nothing (since it had 0 size!).
I do not know what or when these files were zeroed: I suspect a recent OSX update which did not complete and I had to forcefully reboot.
I have fixed it enough to work (copying those files from another mac), but who knows what else lurks beneath the surface of apparent serenity!
I am actually surprised that the whole system did not stop functioning completely.
MORALE: if something looks strange in the logs with x11 or other apps, check the file sizes in your /usr/bin, you may be surprised too!

Adobe bridge won't start anymore. Icon is hopping and then it shuts down..

Could someone help me with this. After trying to install output module in bridge cc, bridge won't start anymore. The icon is hopping for a few seconds and then the appllication is shut down.

Oh ok - Thankyou for that. I will be ringing them tomorrow and I will not be happy ! And I'm hoping they can suggest what I'm suppose to do about getting it back to them as I can't take it in myself. SO so angry!!! Does people getting it back in a worse state happen often? :| do read these discussion boards? I hope they do!!!

My 3Gs won't start anymore, how can I get it to?

I plugged in my 3Gs for the night last week and I woke up with the battery at 80%, so I just thought that maybe it came unplugged or something. I plugged in my charger and nothing happened, I got the "Charging is not supported with this accessory" error, even though I was using the white wire that came with it. I took it out of the wall adapter and tried it on my computer, nothing. I try my brothers wire, my mom's wire, car chargers, everything. Now I'm not sure if my battery is just done, or if my phone just won't start anymore, it's out of warranty so I'm up for any type of fixes, thanks.

Clean the iPhone dock port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if it helped. If not, clean dock port very carefully with lint free cloth moistened with Isopropyll Alcohol, especially clean the pins which are on top of the dock mid rib. You can even use the toothbrush with a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol here too. Let it dry, usually 30 seconds time. See if this helped.

Ultra 10 won't start anymore

Hello,
I have an Ultra 10 box with an extra video card inside. Everything was working fine, and then I got curious and decided to open it up to see what's inside. Now it won't start anymore. I turn the computer on, the fans start spinning, but nothing gets displayed on screen. I can hear the hard disk turning too, and the CD drive is powered, but I don't think anything is going on.
The only thing I touched when I opened it was the extra graphics card, but I was very careful and I am pretty sure I did not fry it. I get nothing displayed on screen when I plug the monitor in the original video card either.
Is there anything I can do to find out what the problem is? Is there some special switch inside the box that I may have turned off without noticing?
Thanks for the help...

Hello,
when you removed the ATI Radeon (XVR-100) and powered-on, the long card (Creator3D or Elite3D) with the weird connector (13W3) became the default output device. It takes precedence over the integrated video.
Remove the long card (if you don't own a 13W3-HD15 adapter or monitor with 13W3 connector) and insert the XVR-100 (attach the monitor to the integrated video). If you power-on the integrated video becomes the default. You should see the output on the monitor.
Enter show-displays at the ok-prompt. If only a single entry is displayed, power-down and check if the card is properly seated.
Otherwise press the letter of the entry that doesn't contain /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2.
This a sample output of an Ultra 10 with Creator3D as add-in board.
ok show-displays
a) /SUNW,ffb@1e,0
b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: b
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2 has been selected.
Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
for creating devalias mydev for
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
nvalias mydev ^Y
The above sets the output-device to the integrated video even if a Creator3D is installed.
Then enter setenv output-device mydev (if you used this name) and reset-all. Attach the monitor to the XVR-100.

CVI program won't start anymore

Our measurement application worked well on several PC's (Win7 32Bit, WinXp 32Bit).
But on 2 newer PC's (Win7 32Bit) the application won't start anymore.
The attached Error with the code R6030 shows up.
We found a workaround for the problem: run the application as administrator.
But after we installed a USB-driver, this workaround doesn't help anymore,
and the Error shows up every time.
We installed the environment (cvi-rt, etc...) with an distributed setup.
So the Versions of the components are the same on every PC.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay we solved the problem,
the cause was, the HP-Software, which was preinstalled on the PC's (the others were Dells)
After uninstalling the HP Security Suite our application works perfect.
I hope this helps other poor guys

Creeated new account - but safari won't start anymore

I created a new account with a parental control. Logged in under the new account and Safari won't start anymore. It quits directly after starting. Any help suggestion ?
Thanks much

Does it work in your old account?
If so, delete everything in the folder /Users/controlled account name/Library/InputManagers.
Also try deleting /Users/controlled account name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist.
(replace controlled account name with the name of the controlled account)
Good luck!

Mega Player 538 won't start anymore

I just flashed the firmware of my mega player 538 to the latest 1.11.03.
The prosedure went ok but now the player won't start anymore.
When I press "Power On" -button nothing happens.
Is there anything that I can do or is the player gone...?
Can I reset the player to solve the problem?

I contacted MSI support, but no answer from them yet.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to wait because I had a very important affair where I needed the device.
So, I returned the player to the shop. Of course the shop didn't have replacement on the stock but they gave me my money back. So, I went to another shop and bought a creative player instead and I was able to complete my affair.
It would have been nice to have the problem solved because the player was perfect for my needs and was very cheap as well (only 20 euros). The new player was three times more expensive and only 512Mb storage.
If MSI will return with a solution I can post it here in case somebody else has a same kind of a problem.

Eclipse IDE won't start anymore after most recent security update

Hello everybody,
after today's security update the Eclipse IDE won't start anymore on my system, I just receive the following error message:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse.
No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/jre/bin/
java
'java' in your current PATH
Java is installed and Eclipse ran smoothly until I upgraded. Other Java programs like Visual Paradigm still work without problems.
Does anybody have an idea what I can do about this? I have already tried repairing permissions, to no avail.
Best regards,
Björn
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have narrowed down the problem even more:
Obviously system path variables are not set anymore on my system for UNIX processes that are started in background, whereas starting applications from terminal using the open command ('open Gimp.app' for instance) still works without any problems.
Any ideas where to change this behaviour?

Hi jneelen,
That is a bummer when the apps are not working. For most issues with apps that have been downloaded from the App Store, the troubleshooting article will work for most issues when they do not launch or crash on you.

I would question that error message if the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD doesn't work, either.
What error message(s) did you get with the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD? Is the Mac OS X 10.5 DVD the full retail install DVD, an upgrade DVD, or a DVD that came with another Mac?

Please help - iTunes won't start anymore: unknown error -69

Hello out there,
please can anybody help me: all of a sudden my iTunes won't start any more - it only shows a message stating an unknown error -69 and then quits.
I did not change anything on my system before that, so I just don't know what could trigger that...
I am using iTunes 7.0.2 on Windows XP SP2, both German versions.
Before posting this question I searched the archives and tried the following, all to no avail:
1. disabled "safe mode" in QuickTime audio options -> problem remains
2. set speakers to "stereo headphones" in Windows sound options -> problem remains
3. deinstalled iTunes, downloaded the installation file again and reinstalled it -> problem remains
4. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime, downloaded QuickTime stand-alone version, installed this and afterwards iTunes again -> problem remains
5. deinstalled iTunes and QuickTime again, deleted all iTunes and QuickTime data folders, reinstalled everything again -> problem remains
6. ran a CHKDSK an the drive iTunes is on -> no problems found
It still won't start, always giving this unknown error -69.
Please, does anybody know what to do?
Any hints and help are much appreciated!
Thanks a lot
and best regards
