How can I exit console mode?

I attempted to bring up the Force Quit dialog while logged in. To do so, I pressed Command-Option-Escape. When I did so, I was logged out, and my iMac entered what seems to be console mode. I received a message with the date and imac getty: dev/console: Operation not supported by device. I received no further prompts, and typing exit (or anything else) has no result. Booting off of my cloned backup has the same result. This screen appears after the boot panel with the progress bar, but does not let me get to the desktop. Any and all assistance with exiting this and getting my iMac to boot normally is greatly appreciated.
Mac mini, 1.42GHz G4, 512MB RAM, Superdrive, 80GB HD; iMac 20'' 2.0GHz G5, 512MB RAM, Airport + BT   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

Problem solved - archive and install did the trick.

  • How can I exit recovery mode the easiest using a program?

    I tried holding down the buttuons how you are suppose to on two different i touch's and it never worked. I need suggestions to a simple program to help get out of recovery mode.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • .xlsm Can't exit design mode because Control 'Command Button 3' can not be created

    I have several Windows 7 Enterprise machines that cannot open one .xlsm file properly. When it opens, it is opening in Design mode rather than as a spreadsheet with macros. My users are getting the error "Can't exit design mode because Control
    'Command Button 3' can not be created". All our machines have Office 2010 ProPlus, but this file will only open on the XP PC's that have yet to be upgraded. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    How do you create the button in Excel 2010? Just insert the control manually or insert it using a macro?  This issue may be caused by the controls aren't instantiated before you can exit design mode.
    Please try the method:
    Code can only run after all controls are instantiated and properly connected. Make sure every file needed for the control is available before trying again.

  • How can we send read mode for a query..?

    How can we send read mode for a query..?
    thanks in advance
    regards

    Hi Chaudhary.
    I am not sure I understand your question correct?
    Do you want to set a query to read only so it can not be changed? If so you should be controlling this with authorizations.
    Hope it helps.

  • How can i remove headphones mode of my ipod?

    how can i remove headphones mode of my ipod?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • How can I use Safe Mode to troubleshoot in Windows 8 or Windows 7?

    QuestionHow can I use Safe Mode to troubleshoot in Windows 8 or Windows 7?
    AnswerWindows has a special mode known as Safe Mode. It is not fully functional, but it allows you to make changes to the laptop to hopefully fix normal mode. We're going to attempt to boot into Safe Mode to use it fix the laptop.
    For more information on how to boot into Safe Mode please see the following articles:
    How To: Safe Mode and other Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8
    Creating a System Repair Disc for Windows 8 (useful for entering Safe Mode)
    How To: Start your Windows 7 computer in Safe Mode
    Use Safe Mode to undo recent changes
    When a computer won't start Windows, it's usually due to a recent change. If you installed a new piece of software before your laptop began to have trouble booting, you may want to uninstall it. Similarly, if you recently made a change to any system settings, you may want to change it back. If you have antivirus software, you may want to perform a scan. If you're not sure what to do here, feel free to skip to the next step!
    Use Safe Mode to perform a system restore
    Windows includes a utility called System Restore that can help with many problems. While this won't alter or remove any of your personal files, it will roll back your system settings and files to an earlier date. We'll use this to attempt to fix Windows.
    To learn how to use System Restore, please check the following articles:
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    How To: Perform a system restore in Windows 7
    Use Safe Mode to initiate a clean boot
    As Windows loads, it loads many additional components such as services and startup items. Some of these are not vital. For example, some tools start immediately with Windows, such as antivirus software. From Safe Mode, we can instruct Windows not to load many of these. This will help you determine if one is causing Windows not to load properly. Note that this step is more advanced than the previous steps. If it seems difficult for you, you may consider asking for help from someone who is more comfortable with computers.
    Please view the following article for more information:
    How can I perform a clean startup without my startup items to troubleshoot a problem?
    If Windows loads normally, you'll know one of those startup items or services was causing the problem. If this is the case, you may want to return to the System Configuration Utility and re-enable some items and services to determine which specific one caused the problem.
    Backing up your data
    If you're able to enter Safe Mode, backing up your data should be easy. Connect a USB flash drive or external drive to your computer while in Safe Mode and then copy your important  files to the flash drive or external drive.
    You may also want to consider taking your computer to a professional.

    Would love to know if this is possible. Found forums dating back years asking exactly the same thing, no solutions. And I do not want to change my headset (Sennheiser MM-50), or use the onboard mic (which sounds like you are using your Mac in a wind tunnel once the fans kick in).

  • Help! Can't Exit Phone Mode????

    Hey all,
    I got 2 3G's (my wife and me) this morning mine got stuck in phone mode. It defaults to my favorites, and i can only select dialpad, contacts, favorites, and voicemail from the bottom.
    I can't exit out to get to my apps, settings, anything? I've tried turning the phone off and on, and popping the sim card, it always takes me back to my favorites in the phone mode, and that's it??
    any ideas?

    I had to exchange my phone today due to a faulty home button. Had a lot of problems exiting anything. The button on the new phone feels a lot different. If you continue to have problems, go to the apple store and have them check the home button.
