Ibook 12" startup issues...

Looks like I'm not the only one, but can't find good answer to exact problems. This is my daughters computer, fortunately my MacBook is here to get on line......
Everything was fine, then it wouldn't "see" the cable modem, so I suggested a power cycple....now:
ibook won't start up. grey screen with spinning gear goes to blue screen, "Starting Mac-OS X"
The blue bar fills from left to right and then.....nothing.
Tried to start in safe mode. Then all I get is the grey screen with the apple and spinning gear for a LONG time......then blue screen and Mac OS-X start up....blue bar fills left to right and then......it just sits there.
Tried resetting PMU (With computer off held shift/ctrl/option/powerbutton, released and waited 5 seconds)
Any ideas?

Was able to put the patient in target mode, connect to PowerBook started on it's own HD and then it showed up as a drive on the finder. Backed stuff up just in case and did a OS reinstall off the syustem disc.
First start was coughing and spurting, reset PRAM, second start was proper but sloooow. After some crunching and resetting of clocks and parameters all appears to be working reasonably well.
I am my daughters hero......

New StartUp Issue

My new MacBook Pro 17" has been having startup issues recently. After I shut down, leave, and come back, the startup issue occurs.
After pressing the power button, fans will go on, proccessing noises occur, HOWEVER, it just boots to a white/grey screen W/OUT the apple logo or round loading bar. The keyboard does not initialize either.
The only thing that I have found to 'fix' it, is just to leave it powered off for an extended period of time. It will then boot up.
I have tried many non-software related 'cures', and my compuer is completely up to date on all OsX software.
Any ideas guys??

you can try to boot to safe mode ( restart holding Shift )
- you can attempt to boot to install disc and disk utility
- you can boot to AHT ( apple hardware test ) to see what component is failing ( insert disc, restart holding D )
- chances are, this is a hardware issue though. you will probably need repairs.

Startup issue - Process 'Starting Framework'

Hi
I seem to have a startup issue with NM2004s. I get a Half Green/ Half Yellow icon in the MMC. The 01 instance is always yellow and never progresses onto green. I have a process status of 'starting framework'.
Anyone else had this issue?
Cheers
Ian

Hi Ian,
I just installed the J2E on a laptop that already has a NSP instance.I am facing the same issue on the J2E.Do you remember if you could resolve this and how?
Any hints would help.
Thank you

Startup issue when having more than one database on machine

Startup issue when having more than one database on machine:
I’ve installed two databases.
When I shutdown one of the database and try to start it up using
Startup pfile=’…location..’;
I get ora-12514: TNS: listener does not currently know of service rquirest in connect descriptor
when I try it again after 3 seconds, I get a new error, ora-01041: internal error. Hostdef extension doesn’t exist
Shutdown and Startup gave no problems when I had one database. Why am I getting problems when I have two databases?
I’m using: show parameter pfile|spfile; to make sure I have the right parameter locations, so the error shouldn’t be from location.
I’ve never installed two databases on one machine, so maybe I’m making a first-timer’s error.
Anyone know how to get this working, i.e. starting and stopping DB without issues?
Using oracle 11gR2 on Windows 7 64bit, all is working normal.
Thanks,
Ayman

Still not working though.
When I start the services of both databases using Services, I can connect and run queries from both of the database.
Edited by: aymanzone on Jun 15, 2011 11:47 AMFirstly ... the Oracle Service for the instance should be started for the DB you are trying to connect or start.
Next ... from the command prompt:
set oracle_sid=<Instance_Name>
sqlplus sys as sysdba
startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'
Now, if you want to start or connect to another DB which is on the same server (again assuming the Service is STARTED) ...
From the same command prompt session or other ....
set oracle_sid=<Other_Instance_Name>
sqlplus sys as sysdba
startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'

Another startup-issue

I have a problem with system startup. My MacBook is pretty much brand new and the system is not cluttered or anything. And still the startup-process freezes even before the apple logo appears, so I just get the grey screen and that's it. I have read about other startup issues, but in those cases the computer at least booted until the apple logo was shown, so my case is slightly different.
After unplugging my external USB hard drive startup works. It also works when I plug it into the other USB-slot. Other devices plugged into the problematic slot (keyboard, USB-stick) work and do not cause problems during startup.
Any experiences with this problem? Would you say the USB-slot is broken in any way? Is it something that can be fixed?
Ordinarily, I would just use the other slot and be done with it. Since the computer is brand new, however, I'd prefer to be on the safe side.
Thanks in advance,
Timo

Hi
+"Would you say the USB-slot is broken in any way?"+
Possibly? Running an Apple Hardware Test might say?
+"Is it something that can be fixed?"+
Yes. It should be covered under the standard 1 year warranty regardless. Provided the fault is not down to wilful or accidental damage it will be covered under the warranty.
You could connect the external USB hard drive in the affected slot an restart the mac in verbose mode (command+v) at restart. This should display error messages - if any - at the point where the start-up stalls. Possibly giving a clue as to what it's having a problem with? You may see an I/OKit error problem or something similar?

Have any ideas re: G5 startup issues? Long post...

My dual processor G5 (purchased Jan. 2005) is in the shop, and, of course, out of warranty. It's been down for over two weeks. Here is the story of its demise:
Installed 10.4.9 upgrade. Began having "launch systems" and crashdump/usb crash errors thereafter. Not a lot of info online regarding these problems, so I decided to do an archive and re-install of my system software.
Started having intermittent problems restarting the G5. Either it would chime, but not kick on the monitor, chime and kick on the monitor but hang at the grey apple startup screen, or not chime at all, with which only the fans would come on. Apple Extended Hardware Test came back OK. Still had problems after removing my USB devices.
Problems continued after the reinstall of the system software, eventually to the point where I could not even boot from a CD. When the G5 did operate, after a short period of use it would freeze, and I would have to force a restart and pray it would boot up completely. It would reliably freeze after waking it from sleep, but also froze in iPhoto and Finder as well.
I have tried resetting the PMU and the PRAM with no improvement. Took it to an Apple Authorized Service Center, luckily only a couple miles from where I work. They tried booting with the Apple RAM only, then the third party RAM only, no improvement. Hard drive was completely reformatted and system reinstalled, no improvement. I am waiting to hear what else they've tried.
My G5's serial # falls outside of those involved with the power supply issues. Yet, could this be a possibility? Any other ideas as to what the problem could be, or has anyone had similar issues?
I freelance as a graphic designer and this has me in a panic. Now using the hubby's Intel iMac to run CS2 and it's a drag.
Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks for the input. I just spoke to the Apple service guy and he still insists there is not a hardware issue. Apparently there is an Apple technical doc, available only to authorized techs, that refers to this particular issue, and the fix is a download and install (firmware, perhaps?) He has to contact Apple and confirm my G5 is within the serial # range for this particular fix.
That's my best interpretation of our discussion. He was rather cryptic. But he says it's not the power supply.
I did an archive and install because, like an idiot, I did not have anything backed up at that point. After that failed, I used up my stash of DVDs and copied gigs to our iMac until the G5 gave out. I had run the hardware test several times and each time came back clean.
Permissions were repaired before and after updates; had it freeze a couple times mid-update. Tried booting in safe mode and single-user mode and still had the same startup issues.
To add insult to injury, I purchased a LaCie Porsche external drive as an eventual backup drive whenever the G5 returns. Hooked it up to our iMac to backup the items I saved off the G5. It failed after the second use. Returned for replacement.
Thanks.

Strange iBook G3 battery issue

I have an iBook G3 FireWire model which won't recognise its battery. It displays as 5% charged with the "fully charged" icon next to it and the menu saying "Calculating... until full." Unplugging the computer will force it to shut down. The computer's optical drive is broken, so I had to install Tiger via USB. The first time, it worked just fine, charging the battery as normal. The problem arose when I installed some updates (I think it was the 10.4.11 Combo updater) and shut down. Upon restart, it never reached the "Starting Mac OS X" screen, just staying on a light blue screen with a perpetually spinning wheel. After attempting multiple restarts, I unplugged the computer while it was on said screen, and it lost all power just as it does now. I reinstalled Tiger with the same USB and disk image the next day. Both http://reviews.ebay.com/iBook-Clamshell-Battery-Issue?ugid=10000000007193925 and booting into Open Firmware and entering the commands reset-nvram, then set-defaults, then reset-all yield the same result: it will charge to 13%, then stop and say "Calculating... until full." The charger is known to be working, it charges my PowerBook just fine.

The typical lifespan of a lithium-ion battery is two to three years. Some last a little longer; some don't even last that long.
It needs a new battery.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:

It would seem that it is recognizing the battery; it's just not charging. If an iBook doesn't recognize the battery, there will be an X through the battery icon in the menu bar and the System Profiler wouldn't give you the battery information; it would say "Battery Installed: No".

Black Macbook Startup Issues

Hey guys.
I'm having a distressful startup issue with my Macbook (13-inch, black). It's happened to me before, but that was a few months ago and everything was fine. Now it's happening again and I'm getting worried that the workaround I've found won't work anymore.
The first time it happened, I wanted to restart my computer because I had installed a bunch of things and it was running a little slow. After I restarted, I heard the "GONG", the apple appeared, and the spinning gear also appeared. It seemed to be working, but after a few minutes, the apple changed to a "do not enter" sign.
I tried resetting the P-RAM to no avail, and finally ended up starting up in Safe Mode (by holding the Shift Key) which at least allowed me to start up my computer. From there, I was able to reset and my computer started up normally after that just fine.
Now, last night, the same thing started happening. There were a few different things that happened this time. For one, I got a big gray box on my screen that told me I needed to reset my computer in a few different languages. Secondly, (the only thing I can attribute the cause to) was that I had opened iChat for the first time in 5 months or so. Shortly after is when I got the box.
So I reset and started having the same problem. I've reset in safe mode now, and am currently installing an update to OSX 10.6.3.
The only programs running at the time of the incident were:
-Google Chrome
-Text Edit
-iCal
-iTunes
Any help you guys have for me would be GREATLY appreciated! I took it to an Apple store the first time it happened and they didn't know what was wrong with it. :/

Well, after booting in Safe Mode and installing the update, it started up just fine. I am afraid that this is going to happen again, though. Any help you guys have would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

Lenovo 3000 N200 - Startup issue from bad to worse

I was facing similar startup issues like others (abrupt shutdown). I saw posts with similar issue so I tried the method (F1 on startup then F9 and F10) but ended up making things worse. Now it won't boot at all. Goes to "Windows didn't start successfully" and I have tried every single option (safe mode, last known good config and normal start) but nothing works.
Any suggestion?

remove the hdd and use linux live cd to check if it boots.

Intermittent Startup Issues, Fan Reving

Has anyone else had startup issues with the G5's? I have had to re-seat memory in my lab on 3 machines and this seems, so far, to have alleviated the problem.
The funny thing is I have had these machines for about 8 months and never had this problem. My computers are locked and access to the physical memory is impossible.
Just curious?
Once I tried to run in Open Firmware the computer beeped 3 times, thus telling me it was a memory issue. Each of the machines exhibited different symptoms??? One was caught in the blue screen. One in the gray screen with neverending fan reving and spinning startup wheel. Lastly, a frozen computer (in an account) where all keyboard and mouse commands are not recognized. Upon hard shutdown and restart either this machine ended up stuck in gray screen **** or started ok.

Yeah, if you are in a humid lab (i.e. animal research lab) or some other unique environment sometimes the conditions can be less than ideal.
Most electromechanical connections, such as the slots where the RAM plug in or PCI card slots or cable connections, are more apt to become less than optimal in such a condition.
Another problem tends to be that the G5 is a hunk of cold metal when powered down or even sleeping and in a cold room. Humidity loves to condense on cold metal and has been known to cause problems.
However, since all you have had to do thus far is re-seat the RAM, the impact seems to be minimal at this time.

IBook G4 Startup Problem-Won't go past Apple screen

I've been using my iBook for two years with no issues...until yesterday. I'm very much a novice technical wise, so I'm going to give as much detail as I can to describe how things transpired.
It had been a while since I'd checked for software updates, so I took advantage of being at a friend's house who has Roadrunner (dialup is the only option I have where I live...very rural area) and installed an update for OSX. It seemed to install fine and prompted me to restart as usual, which I did. I stepped away for about ten minutes to let it do its thing, but when I returned, it was stuck on the Apple screen (light gray) but without the progress wheel. I let it sit for awhile, hoping it would do something, but to no avail. I powered it down, let it sit, and turned it back on...still just the apple screen. As soon as I got to work this morning I started searching through the forums to find a solution. Below are the things I've tried based on suggestions from other threads and the results, but still, I haven't successfully gotten past the Apple screen.
1) Pressing power button then holding the "apple"-opt-p-r keys simultaneously until I hear the startup chime three times. I heard the chimes, but it still goes back to Apple screen with no progress wheel.
2) Used Disk Utility from my OSX install disc to repair the disk, but no repairs were necessary.
3) Tried restarting in Safe Mode, but it just went back to the Apple and the progress wheel never appeared.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hello
I have a ibook G3 and it happened to me to!! I didn't realize that it could have been software update!! Ok well my story is that I was doing my normal on my iBook( myspace, ichat and itunes) well I thought hey I havent updated in a while so I software updated it. It asked me to restart just like you and what do you know it got stuck on the gray apple screen. I reinstalled Mac os x Panther 3 times, and every time after it was done installing I would run software update and restart it just like it says. Until I reed this, well you helped me, I'm just not going to update until after the holidays when I get Tiger.They might be doing this to get us to buy Leopard. Well thanks but for you I recomend you getting a external hard drive and try to get everything you can out by starting up from classic. Sorry and... well... thanks for helping me!

New RAM in iBook prevents startup

Hey everyone,
My little 5+ year-old iBook G4 (933MHz) is so old, but still working fine, so I decided to buy 512MB of RAM from OWC. I'm trying to make it last until OSX 10.6, haha. I made sure the new RAM is EXACTLY the same as my old RAM (PC2100 DDR 266MHz 200 Pin), just bigger. I even compared the two when I installed it.
On startup, I get nothing but the chime. The screen stays black. I don't even hear the HD spin up. I have no idea if it's on or not, so I just pull the battery. When I put my old memory back in, it works fine, with or without the airport card.
I thought if memory was bad, it should still boot, since it has 128MB built in. So I can't tell if it's being recognized or not (well, obviously it's being recognized, it won't start up!)
Any clues as to what the problem might be? I guess I can exchange the RAM, but it would be for exactly the same type.
By the way, this iBook had its logic board replaced by Apple about 2 years ago, if that affects anything.

I agree with Duane. Since your computer runs fine with the original RAM but doesn't even boot with the new, there's not much else that would be the issue.
Also, I've noticed that if a computer doesn't like a RAM module, it won't boot--even if the second one is perfectly fine. Make sure you've got the RAM seated properly and if it still misbehaves, exchange it for another module.
You may also want to double-check that you've got the right RAM, just in case.

Heating, Longer Startup issues after upgrading to Windows 8.1

It has just been about 1.5 years I have purchased this laptop and the way it is behaving now is killing me.
There was absolutely no problem while I was running Windows 8(which was my preloaded OS).
But after I upgraded to Windows 8.1 I am facing numerous problems which I am stating below.
Startup time has increased to double the time it took perviously( even after I disabled unnecessary startup entries ).
Laptop is getting heated from the moment it is started, no matter what I do or I do nothing and keep it idle(which earlier happened only when I played any high graphics game)
HP Support Assistant no longer works in Windows 8.1(I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times still no solution), so I am no longer able to get any technical support.
Right click on Desktop takes ~10 seconds to open up the menu(Once again checked and found no unwanted third party context meny handler entry blocking the right click)
Please help me out as soon as possible.
Currently I am using Microsoft Windows 8.1 x64 Single OS
Product Name-HP Pavilion G6-2236TX NB PC
Product Number-D4B09PA

Hard drive startup issues after extended sleep/shutdown

Hello,
When I put my iMac to sleep or shut it off for an extended period of time (overnight) and then try to wake it up or turn it on, the iMac makes a strange clicking noise and freezes.
After manually shutting down and restarting it one or more times it will startup fine.
Putting to sleep/shutting down the computer for short periods of time doesn't cause any problems.
So when this first started happening I though "Uh oh, hard drives going to that great recycling depot in the sky."
But, Disk Utility, Apple's hardware test, and TechTool Pro 4 all find nothing wrong with my system.
Is there any chance this could not be an hard drive issue? Or should I just get the drive replaced and stop trying to diagnose the problem?

You've covered the biggies already - I'd recommend a trip to the Apple store or at least a call to AppleCare. Back in the late 80's and early 90's 'stiction' was a serious problem with hard drives. A hard drive motor has very low torque; it can spin fast but it doesn't have much oomph and the lubricant used back then could harden overnight so that when the computer was booted up the drive's motor couldn't spin up the platters. Improvements in lubricants have made stiction less common today but it hasn't been eradicated and it is one of the things that might be affecting your drive. At any rate, since I can't put your computer on my bench, the best call I can make is for you to make a call. Sorry.
