I need help on the Startup Manager

I have an iMac 2009 21.5''
So I tried accessing the Startup Manager and all I got was a white screen, no chime, but when I try to  boot it up normally it works perfectly.
I wanted to boot up from a disc so the Startup Manager didn't work, I tried booting it up while pressing C, that didn't work eather, I don't know what to do, nor what's causing it. I've tried removing any USB's I have connected, that didn't fix it either, I also tried booting it without the disc but that didn't work either, please help.

Boot Using OPTION key:
  1. Restart the computer.
  2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "OPTION" key.
  3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
  4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
  5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

  • The startup manager loads but cannot display, all i get is a black screen and a message saying No signal

    I have a mac mini that was just assigned to me to set up for my team at work to use when they are helping customers who have a mac.  We need to have OS 10.8 and 10.9 on separate partitions, which I have set up.  However when I launch the startup manager (holding option during startup) i get a blank screen and a message saying No Signal. I know the Startup manager has loaded because I can use the arrows to navigate blindly and I can successfully load either partition. I believe that it is a resolution issue.  The monitor I have available can only display in 1440X1080 at 75 hz and I think that the startup manager must be loading at a higher resolution than this.
    I have tried clearing P-ram and have searched ceaselessly to find someone who has had this same issue and no one else seems to have it.

    I think the Startup screen is 800*600 normally, can you set the Startup partition in Sys Prefs>Startup Disk?

  • I can't access the Startup Manager

    I hit the power key, hear the 'chime,' and press the option key. I hold it down. Three minutes later, the screen is still black. I have successfully accessed the Startup Manager in the past with no issue. It simply won't happen, today. I have Snow Leopard and apparently Maverick installed - each on half of the hard drive. I had normally simply booted to Snow Leopard (which I need to run Final Cut Pro - not Final Cut X) and taken care of business. Since upgrading to Maverick from Lion, the computer has defaulted to booting into Maverick. I have used Startup Manager to boot into Snow Leopard. That simply won't happen today.

    I hit the power key, hear the 'chime,' and press the option key. I hold it down. After answering this question, I am going to try to restart after selecting the Startup Disk in System Preferences - hopefully, that will work.
    As for the Disk Utility - yup, both partitions show. One is Macintosh HD (with Maverick), the other is Macintosh HD SL (get it? SL for Snow Leopard :-D ) At any rate, even if the SL partition didn't show, shouldn't the Startup Manager open rather than the black screen? I help the option ket for a solid 5 minutes on the recent attempt with still no success...
    Please, don't take my snippy response as an attack to your question. I am simply frustrated with this situation and need a vent...

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding
    Do you happen to run a font manager? If so, which one, and waht version?

  • How do I get to the startup manager with wireless keyboard?

    When starting up, if you hold down the Option key you are supposed to get to the Startup manager, where you can select which disk to start up from, etc.  But this doesn't seem to work when using the Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard.  If ever I get into trouble and need to start up from a repair disk or my system disks, I won't be able to.  How can I get this to work?
    Thanks.

    Paul, you may need a USB KB for emergencies.

  • I need help with the conditional build tag option RoboHelp 10

    I need help with the conditional build tag option. I want to apply CBT to content in a topic. I looked at the Help topics and believed that I applied the feature correctly. Howver, it is not working as desired. In the 2nd sentence below I want the text highlighted in blue to only appear for the printed output and the text printed in purple to only appear for the .htm /online output. Please help.
    There are common tasks used to manage the folders in the Navigator and the folders
    in the BBS Folders Viewer Grid. For more information on these common tasks see Help

    Hi there
    Using tagging is a two part process.
    Part One
    You create and apply the tags to the information you wish to control.
    Part Two
    You create a Build Expression that is used when you generate your output. The Build Expression typically reads something like: NOT Tag1 (or whatever your tag name is)
    Then when you generate and use the Build Expression, the information tagged is not included in the build.

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.

    Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.
    Anytime I select Vibrance to adjust the color of an image. The whole image turns Pink in the highlights when the slider is moved from "0" to - or + in value.  Can the Vibrance tool be reset to prevent this from happening? When this happens I cn not make adjustments...just turns Pink.
    Thanks,
    GD

    Thank you for your reply. 
    Yes, that does reset to “0” and the Pink does disappear.
    But as soon as I move the slider +1 or -1 or higher the image turns Pink in all of the highlights again, rather than adjusting the overall color.

  • Need help accessing the router web page.  I have been tol...

    Need help accessing the router web page.  I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range.  I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins).  Didn't work.
    thanks

    What router are you using?  Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS  (not the WRT54GS).
    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  Please help!

    I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.   I recieved a photo via text on my iphone and then I synced my iphone to my macbook and now it is in iphoto.  I already know that the date on the photo per the tag that shows up on it in iphoto is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  I need article or literature or something confirming the tag is from when it was sent to the iphone and/or when it was imported.  I greatly appreciate some assistance!

    All I am trying to do is find something on a forum board or article etc stating that the the date showing in iphoto could be the date it was imported or synced or sent to me and not the actual date taken.
    The date on the photo could be anything because you can edit the date with iPhoto or any of 100 apps, free and paid for. So, the date on the photo will prove nothing, I'm afraid.
    Regards

  • Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4

    Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4.  Unable to preregister when I ordered the new 6  in September.  Now can not contact VZW recycle program regarding.

    When I ordered my phone on Sept. 13th in a Verizon store, I had to ask the salesman how I went about getting the $200 rebate. He said shipping materials would come with the new phones. When I received the confirmation e-mail of my order, it contained a link for the rebate. Fortunately I clicked on the link, filled out the form online, and received the packing materials to send my phone in shortly after. My phones came in on Oct. 14th and I sent 3 of them back. So far I have received a gift card for $200 for 2 of the phones; the other is showing not received. I don't know what your situation is, but I think the promotion ended Oct. 15th. If I had listened to the salesman I think I would be out of luck as well. I hope I am wrong for your sake.

  • Need help with the session state value items.

    I need help with the session state value items.
    Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
    When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
    in table A.
    When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
    in table A.
    In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
    How can I implement this?

    You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
    For example
    SELECT YN_COLUMN
    FROM My_TABLE
    INTO My_Page_Item
    WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
    If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

  • Need help regarding the location of Exchange 2013 Logs for parsing

    Hi, I am trying to create reports based on the logs that are created on my exchange server. I am using
    exchange 2013. My problem is that I cannot handle every log, and instead want specific types of logs.
    I need help finding the specific locations of the following types of logs (If they even exist), so that I can parse them and use them effectively:
    Audit Logs (Mailbox logons, Mailbox permission changes, Mailbox property changes,
    Exchange store changes)
    Mail Report Logs (Mailbox size and growth, Mailbox storage growth, Enabled users, Expired and Soon-to-Expire Mailboxes)
    Exchange Traffic Reports (Details on size and amount of messages sent and recieved, Internet traffic [to and from], Traffic between exchange users)
    I understand this might sound like a huge undertaking, but any help that can be provided would be appreciated.
    Again, I need information on the locations of these types of logs on the exchange server, so that I can parse them. Collecting them all and searching through them is not practical for my available resources.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Audit Logs (Mailbox logons, Mailbox permission
    changes, Mailbox property changes, Exchange
    store changes) ---- these are two type of logs, 1. mailbox audit logs and that is stored in each mailbox under dumpster
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff461930(v=exchg.150).aspx however you need to
    enable
    it for individual mailboxes... 2. admin audit log, this is stored into a system mailbox dumpster.... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335052(v=exchg.141).aspx
    Mail Report Logs (Mailbox size and growth, Mailbox
    storage growth, Enabled users, Expired and Soon-to-Expire Mailboxes) ---- there isn't any specific log for this, you would need to create some time of script to collect this every day for you and store it somewhere... This is a good start... http://www.stevieg.org/2011/06/exchange-environment-report/
    Exchange Traffic Reports (Details on size and
    amount of messages sent and recieved, Internet traffic [to and from], Traffic between exchange users) ----- This you can get from message tracking log... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124375(v=exchg.150).aspx
