I can boot but not re-boot.....

Ok so here is my problem. I reinstalled windows XP tonight after erasing all of the data on the previous partition by mistake (dont ask - but if you must read here)....
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1796486&tstart=0
So i did a full uninstall via bootcamp and started again. However i have a problem that was there before but i never thought much of it and thought by doing a reinstall it would get rid of it. So basically, when i was installing Windows XP and going through set up etc, it kept restarting my computer (in line with the guidance in the bootcamp manual). However, it switched off, then on again went to a bright screen then a dark screen and would stop. It wouldnt load windows or continue what it was doing (installing) previously. After leaving the machine for 10 mins, i came back and it was still the dark screen, so i switched it off manually (via holding the button down). Then waited 30 secs and switched it on again. It then carried on the installation from the previous stage. I had to do this for all three of four of the restarts during this process. This is the second time i have installed Windows XP via bootcamp and the first time it did exactly the same.
Anyway, so i got it to install by doing the above and it now works when i start the computer in windows. Although i have to do this by turning the computer on and holding down "alt" key and selecting the windows drive. It does not work if i select "restart in windows" from the mac OSX. So everytime i want to work in windows i have to shut down the machine, then wait 30secs and switch it on. I cant restart it in windows because it gets stuck on a blank screen. I can restart Mac OSX from Mac OSX though if that makes sense (ie. by clicking the apple icon in the top left and selecting restart). It then starts fine in Mac OSX. So i dont think this is a problem with the restart facility on the machine itself, just connected to windows somehow.....
Any ideas for things i could try to solve this as i worry that it will damage my machine constantly turning it on and off again like that?
The windows I used is 100% legal and the partition is 32GB FAT.
Thanks in advance

Erase it with Windows itself, or remove the partition iwth BCA, but if you erase FAT or even NTFS partition with Disk Utility, you lose the ability to remove it later on. And yes, NTFS write ability is possible with NTFS driver from Paragon.
Look for how to do a Windows Clean Install, or just when you boot from CD/DVD reformat the partition.

Macbook air can reboot, but not shutdown+boot :-(

Hi.
My MacBook Air (1st generation from 2008) does not start anymore. Only a white screen with a question mark. I booted from USB-DVD and checked the hard disk: some errors. So I formatted the hd and re-installed Snow Leo. As long as I reboot, everything is fine. The disk utility shows no errors.
However, when I shutdown and try to boot, I only see the white screen with question mark. Resetting the PRAM leads to the same state: Directly after reset, it boots. When I shutdown, it doesn't boot.
Any ideas? :-(

Hi Tim, I did not understand it completely before, sorry to ask you twice.
This looks bad.
The safe boot does not work either I suppose (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570).
Better go to Apple repair.
I am afraid this is some hardware failure.

A Bunch Mac OS X (10.4.6) Photographer Made my own iTablet

So I got a clue and did a clean install, that did the trick!
I still have the question as to the how's and why's of what went wrong.
I imagine a corrupt file, but I would have guessed that making a new user, or an Archive and Install would have cleared that up.
Go figure
But yes it is working now!
And I say Thank God I was looseing a lot of time trying to figure it out!

IWeb booting but not opening

I have successfully moved my Monmouth Boat Club (monmouthboatclub.org) site to an FTP server and it has its ups and downs but generally OK. I am aware of the quirkiness of opening iWeb domain in Lion as opposed to Snow Leopard. And, above all, I back up the domain multiple places. My latest and most annoyng problem is that on my iMac (running 10.6.8), at times the domain will BOOT but not OPEN..... iWeb open innavigation but I can't get the page up. It might open the fourth time I try...or an hour or a day later. In a pinch, I go back to one of my laptops (running Lion) and open it and make changes. However, Ineed the domain to both boot and open every time on my iMac/Snow Leopard machine.Is anyone having a similar problem and can you give me some advice....
Art

Yes. Lion has messed up the iWeb preference file. There is an easy solution for that:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

E71 Imap, can send but not receive

HI all
I received my E71 about a week ago and having major problems configuring it with my work email.
Its an IMAP mail. I can send fine but on most occasions cannot receive. Occasionally it downloads some mails but only twice in the last week. I think this shows the settings are correct.
Have tried to sign up with Nokia mail but get the following error message:
'Unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again.'
My colleagues in the UK use Blackberrys fine and have spoken with IT and they cannot think of any reason why this is happening. I have deleted the mailbox and set it up again many times but still can send but not receive...
Very grateful for any advice as really happy with the phone other than this which is the main reason why I bought it.

Hi Anne,
Is this IMAP or POP account?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
THE PROBLEM
Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
emails.
When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED
I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
OTHER INFO
Computer Details;-
"Old" laptop;-
Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
"New" laptop;-
Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
Thanks in advance....

Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

HP DJ1510 AIO Printer-CAN SCAN BUT NOT PRINT

I installed SW & HW as per HP instructions on my comp (WinXP-SP2). Scanning worked but cannot print as the printer driver (which may be missing or faulty on the CD and also in installation files downloaded from HP web site) does not get installed.
HP, India has not come up with any solution to this issue despite my spending many hours with them since 20/9/14.
HP needs to give me a patch for installing printer driver in my OS, which should not be difficult for a company like HP.
I am now frustrated with this HP product & its service. All promises but nofollow up or even phones are not picked up
Who will help me or should I throw away this HP printer.
BM Shah

Hi @bmsprinter,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Deskjet 1510 can scan but not print with Windows XP (Service Pack 2). I am happy to help!
According to your printer's specifications, found at this website, HP Deskjet 1510 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications. This printer is only supported on Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and above. You can select System requirements, and then Windows system requirements, once you have visited that website.
Also, please take a look at this reply, Re: cannot find priner, by my colleague @Jamieson, from your older post, that will help you upgrade your Windows XP Service Pack.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a wonderful day!

Using osx 10.7.5 can send but not receive emails. Mail server support rep tried everything

Using iMac with OSX 10.7.5. Can send but not receive emails. No problem with internet account. Server rep tried everything and suggested perhaps a corrupted file in the op syst. Any ideas?

You may have a corrupt preference. Mail - Preferences - Accounts - click the offending account and re-enter all prefereneces. Also you can use Apple's OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages located at:

I can send but not receive email

Hello All. I know this is a highly posted topic but I cannot find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Basic Problem- I can send but not receive email.
My ISP is. Yahoo SBC Global
I have a 3rd party email provider: 1and1.com
I have set my preferences according to the specifications of 1and1.com
The error I get is this: The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server "pop.1and.com" failed.
I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.4.9. My account with the 3rd party email provider is new and only has 1 or two emails in the account. I know this because I can log on via the internet and use their website to check the emails in the inbox. So the "email" address is working. I just can't get it to forward to my laptop.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with port 110 being blocked by my ISP. But I really don't think they are blocking that port. Due to the fact that my previous computer was a dell, and I used a similar 3rd party provider to email, the account used port 110 and things worked fine.
Thanks to all.

Ok. I've got it working.
All I did was delete my account information from the preferences. Before, I was editing it.
I entered a completely new POP account and it started working. I have a hard time believing that I entered information incorrectly prior to this because I checked it, rechecked it had a friend check it and it all looked OK. I was copy and pasting information anyway.
However, once I deleted and re- entered a brand new account, it worked fine.
Ernie, thanks for replying to my emails! I appreciate it.

You can look at the ipad under settings, general, about and see if it's 4.3.3.
Or when you connect the ipad to the computer with itunes, it'll tell you on the first tab if you need an update.

Superb advice R&W! My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1). Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me. Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

I think a firewall is interfering with my mail program - I can receive but not send. Please help!

I think Firefox may have installed a firewall that is interfering with my email program - I can receive but not send mail.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often

Firefox does not install a firewall.

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas?

I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
Good Luck to you.
