Help please, my Powerbook wont start after a crash...

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm in absolute panic! My Powerbook crashed after a modem/internet error and wont restart - the little light on the front 'breathes' until you open it and then it goes out when open. The restart/power button when held down will chime, then nothing happens - no restart. No lights or anything. The battery is charging, I've also tried taking the battery off and then restarting but still nothing. Am I not doing something really obvious? Can anyone point to what has happened, or is happening? Is it anything serious? Please help! Many thanks, JP

You could start in Single User Mode and do a File System Check (fsck).
Start the computer and hold down the s key until it starts.... it will be a text based interface. It should happen rather quickly.
After it is done displaying the start-up text.. you can type
fsck -f
remember the space between the k and the -
hit Return
you will have to type in your password...
It will check the disk.. and let you know if there were any errors.
If there are.. run the command again until it says "the file system is ok"
When you are done, type
reboot
then hit return
You computer should reboot.

HELP ! my ibook wont start after downloading 9.1 update

Hi
i decided to update my os 9.0 on my old ibook, and downloaded all the updates that needed to be installed, i started off with installing the 9.04 update, and after that was installed i ran the 9.1 update, during the installation the system promted for a reboot, and after that my ibook locks up when the "loading" bar is in the middle in the starting screen,,, i dont have much mac xpereince, so i would realy apprrecieate any help !

Hi, honkatped -
Just happened to be around.
Okay - if it boots okay with Extensions Off, then it would appear you have an extensions conflict of some kind.
Re-installing the OS would not fix that. Instead, it will take a bit of work to find what is causing the problem - it may be an incompatibility with some 3rd-party software item.
First, restart - immediately hold down the Spacebar, keep it held down until Extensions Manager opens; it should do that just before extensions start to load (just before the march of icons across the screen starts).
Once Extensions Manager opens, select Mac OS Base from the Selected Set pulldown menu near the top of the Extensions Manager window. Then continue the startup.
If that boots okay, select Mac OS All as the Selected Set in Extensions Manager, and restart. If that boots okay, then some more work will be needed to isolate the offender. Let us know how it goes to that point.

HELP !! Computer wont start after i change from 133 to 166 on my FSB

Hi...
I have a K7N2G. I changed the my fsb from 133 to 166. Afterward, I have not been able to start or boot my computer (my fans are on, but monitor is not geting any output).
Thank you and greatly appreciated to anyone that can help me.
Yoge

Hahaha yoge i fell yr pain man cos i did the same thing 3 weeks ago!! I just got my computer back from the shop on Tuesday. What happened was i managed to kill some chip on the mother board and the chip had to be replaced.
This is the story:
Amd XP 2400+,
MSI K7n2g-ilsr
400watt coolermaster
USING THE ONBOARD VGA!!!! (im a dumb F**K, i noe this now)
dual channel 2*256mb sticks (transcend & Kingston value)
I had just installed the latest bios so the kinston is
supported.
High performance settings
FSB/DRAM Ratio 1:1
The only values i had for the FSB were 100, 133 & 166Mhz so i put to 166, i pressed F10 to save and then black screen.
The power was on, the monitor was on, but the hard drive shut down shuted down. So i took a look at the back to check the 4 LED's, 1,3,4 were RED and 2 was GREEN which meant the memory module was damaged, or so it said in the manual.
Apparantly ur not supposed to overclock with the onboard VGA and it even says that in the manual (i must have skipped pass that, duh)
So yoge your gonna have to take ur computer back to the shop to get it fixed sorry to say.
I cost me $35 AUD + $55 for service charge but they oly charged me $35 for the sevice fee cos i am a regular customer.
Also when i got back my computer this week, i opened up the case and do u guys know what i found, a GeForce4 440MX graphic card!!! They gave me a free graphic card!! Woohoo
Well now my computer runs fine with no problems yet and my cpu runs at 25 degrees where as before it ran at 51 degrees.

Intel imac wont start after changing permission

intel imac wont start after i changed my hard drive permission to let me read and write, then i clicked apply to all enclosed files.i turned it off no problem. then it never started up again in os x. the grey screen with apple logo appears,then after a minute it restarts, and will keep doing that if i let it. i can start up in windows xp, but i dont know how to do anything in windows xp that will affect os x. i can use the hard drive in target mode, but i cant figure out how that can help me. i use a macbook to view target disk. ive spent hours looking through help and support. finally i do not have the os install disks. PLEASE HELP!

My apologies for the inept instructions.
Restart normally. Open Terminal in the Utilities folder. Paste the commands in the Terminal application to avoid typos:
sudo su
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again. Now paste each of the following at the prompt and press RETURN after each.
chown root:admin /Applications
chmod 0775 /Applications
chown root:admin /Library
chmod 1775 /Library
chown root:admin /System
chmod 0775 /System
chown root:admin /Users
chmod 0775 /Users
chmod -R -N /Applications
chown -R :admin /Applications/*
Again, my apologies.

Portege Z930-118 wont start after BIOS update

my PORTG Z930-118 failover and wont start after i upgrading in middle of upgrade i remove power and press shutdown bottom after that i see the power and wireless but screen still black ?
Any help please

Hmmmm.... BIOS upgrade interruption has screwed up BIOS and thats the reason why your notebook doesn't start properly. BIOS is damaged now.
In such case you need professional help by authorized Toshiba service provider.
On this forum you can find many threads about similar problems. Some people have tried to fix this alone and if you are interested to read how one other forum user has fixed it check please this thread.
Ayway, you can contact nearest Toshiba service, explain the situation and ask for help.

770-G45 wont start after ShutDown

Recently installed MSI 770-G45, problem starts when i regulary shutdown comp. from WinXP or Win7 64-bit.Computer wont start after that, like ther is no power, fans dont spin, no bips, NOTHING. I got to unplug power cord and plugg it again into psu, after that it starts normaly.
Strange thing is that computer starts normally when i manualy shutdown system(holding the power button on the case).There is no exception, starts perfectly evry time after manual shutdown, no need to unplugg powercord.
Rest of my components> Phenom II X2 555BE, Kingston 2GB 1333mhz, Sapphire 5770, HDD WD 250gb,PSU Corsair TX 650w.
Tried to change power cord, tried other PSU, other case (tought its maybe power button but no), changed mobo battery, installed several OS versions (XP, Win7) and still dont have solution.
MS 7599 ver. 2.0
Bios version 10.2
MoBo is new bought it 3 days ago.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

First: It is important to clear CMOS after a BIOS update. Unplug power cable before the clearing, as there can be no power in the system
Second: Rebuild the system, but outside the case. Use only PSU, motherboard, processor, one stick of memory and graphics card. If it works better then, you may have a short, from a stand-off too many, or poorly isolated wire somewhere.
But I second it sounds like a motherboard problem. You'd better contact the one who sold it to you.
Oh, an oldie thing! You will need to install Windows again, with the new motherboard and all.

SSMS wont start after Installing SQLServer

Hello,
After SSMS wont start after updating VS2012. I have unistallled and installed a number of times but the error message I keep getting indicates that Visual Studio shell Isolated is missing. I have tried to install this directly from the set up dvd but
no success.
Also I noticed that VSShell is missing in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn.
I am assuming that this has something to do with it.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Thank you.

Safari wont start after i installed avi player any suggestions?

safari wont start after i installed a avi player any suggestions?

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Help my powerbook wont start

Im having trouble starting my powerbook. When I turn on the computer first I see a folder with the question mark, then a grey screen with a black square in the middle saying that i need to restart my computer. I know its a Kernel panic. I tried to use the disk utility to repair it. It repairs but it still wont start up. I tried re-installing the software and it cant find a drive to install it. I try to turn it on in safe mode and a bunch of information about the kernel appears and at the end it says "panic: We are hanging here. . ." So i dont know what to do. Can someone help me please. Thank you so much.

It could be your ram. Inspect that is in place properly.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

What about you, have you got any other music program in your mac?
