IBook G4 cannot find system after update to 10.4.8 the first startup

Hi,
I recently updated the iBook G4 of my girlfriend from Mac OS X 10.4.6 to 10.4.8. After restart the iBook showed up the icon for not being able to find a system to startup from. I then turned the iBook off and turned it on again, now the iBook started up just fine from the previously updated system.
But since then, every time the iBook becomes started up it's the same procedure: First it cannot find a system to start up from, then we turn the iBook off and on again and then it starts up just fine. Any ideas why?
Additonally, we now found some error with disk utility on the start up disk. I started the iBook from an 10.4.6 installation disk, checked and repaired the disk. The checked it again, no error found anymore... Started up from the iBooks hard drive, checked with the disk utility from the 10.4.8 system there and this one found error again. Does this make sense?
Any ideas are really appreciated!

Go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and reselect the system you want to use to startup the computer and then select Restart which should resolve the startup problem.
Started up from the iBooks hard drive, checked with the disk utility
from the 10.4.8 system there and this one found error again. Does
this make sense?
Not sure if this is considered a bug but this has been reported by others which you can ignore.
I use Disk Utility from the Startup volume to repair disk permissions only, never to Verify Disk which you shouldn't use to check the boot volume for any directory errors with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc either.
When doing so, better to select Repair Disk right off the bat and if no problems are reported, you are done. No point in selecting Verify Disk to verify again.
If a problem is reported via Verify Disk and you run Repair Disk to repair the problem and if successfully repaired, no point in running Verify Disk again in this situation either. Best to run Repair Disk only and if any problems are reported and successfully repaired, run Repair again until no problems are reported which saves a step/time and is more efficient.

  • Cannot find iMac after updating to 10.4.5

After updating to 10.4.5 on the iMac, the iMac can still see and access files on both of the PC machines. The PC's can both see and communicate. However, the PC can no longer see or access files on the Mac. Any suggestions

  • Cannot find backup after updating to iOS 5

    Hi all,
    This morning I updated my 3GS to iOS 5. Because I kept getting errors, I backed up my phone, copied to bachkup to another location, then restored my phone to factory settings, then updated to iOS 5. That was all fine, but now I cannot restore my phone from the backup. The backup disappeared from its original location, and when I copied it back there, iTunes did not recognize it. It only recognizes an older backup that was in the same folder.
    How can I make sure everything is restored from my lastest backup?
    Also, running iTunes on Windows Vista 64 bits, if that matters, and I do have iTunes 10.5.
    Thanks!

    Solved it by copying the backup files from one computer to another. They are found in this folder on PC
    C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    The restore on the other computer went without problems, though I have to reinstall all apps, but all settings, photos and so on has been restored.

  • Runtime Error "Cannot find system in table file"

    I need assistance!
    I have a Blackberry Curve 8310 and have recently installed Version 4.5
    I am trying to setup my synchronization.  I have followed the steps to setup my calendar to Outlook 2007.  It tells me Congratulations! You have successfully configured the product. However, when I press Finish, I get a Runtime Error "Cannot find system in table file"
    I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it - the same error appears. 
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    FIGURED IT OUT!!!  
    The following steps, which are posted on the RIM Support will work; however, I had to do it a different way.  In Step 1, it states that the ilxolkCompanion.fil is located in C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector path...however, when I searched for this file, it was actually located in C:\Program Files\Blackberry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector.  (This could be because I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.5 w/o completing a clean uninstall...not too sure why)
    Once I located the file through the command prompt, I unregistered as per the instructions in Step 1.  I then followed step 2 exactly word for word...and VOILA!!!  I now have Version 4.5 working with MS Outlook 2007
     ResolutionIf the Connectors folder is still present in C\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector, follow these steps:
    Unregister the old Microsoft Outlook connector ilxolkCompanion.fil.
    Open the command prompt.
    Navigate to C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector.
    Type in the command regsvr32 -u ilxolkCompanion.fil.
    In Desktop Manager, Microsoft Outlook will no longer be listed as an available desktop application.
    Register the most current Microsoft Outlook connector.
    Navigate to C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\IS71 Connectors\MS Outlook Connector.
    Type in the command regsvr32 msoutlookconnector.fil.
    In Desktop Manager, Microsoft Outlook will now be registered as an available desktop application.
    Once these steps have been completed, configure synchronization again.

    Hi, Thanks for that further bug description In Your Last Message That Describes The Problem I Am Having perfectly and is exactly the same for me.
    unfortunately that fix for my camera Powershot G6 does not work or apply as the view pictures switch is different on G6 is not usable during download as once you plug in DC/USB cable it turns off, and makes no diff and problem still exists exactly as you just described.
    thanks anyways "Selz Boy"
    it has been 17 days since apple promised to get back to me within 3-5 days hopefully with a solution, but I have still not heard from them.
    They blew me off, i guess, probably i will have to wait for new Yosemite OS update, which they pre-warned me could take as much as 6 months.
    I cannot believe apple released this new update with such major bug issues for camera downloads and that horrible "Photos" pgm which has all sorts of downgrades in features, usefulness and new bugs compared to iPhotos which I just finally got used to and was much better software.
    I am starting to lose faith in Apple and I am getting that Microsoft "FEEL" like I used to have when I was a PC user, which was why I originally switched to Apple  computers in first place.
    Oh well got my fingers crossed here.
    Thankfully the memory card reader solution  is working well, but cost me $45.

    And update to the latest version 10.8.4 system after updating the system I have the problem appeared to take off the device and stops at the apple logo for about 5 minutes and then enters the desktop How can I solve this problem and thank you

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • HT4623 I cannot import my photos to my Windows xp PC after updating my iphone 5 with the latest iOS 7.1

    I cannot import my photos to my Windows xp PC after updating my iphone 5 with the latest iOS 7.1

    According to the iTunes download page, it still supports Windows XP.
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    (Emphasis added)
    If your XP computer was updated, then it should work. Again, the links I posted earlier contain the current USB drivers for the iPhone and Windows.

    This isn't a JSP question, it better belongs in the JavaProgramming, or JDBC forums.
    But the problem is because the updateDate method uses a java.sql.Date object and you are giving it a java.util.Date object. You have to convert from java.util.Date to java.sql.Date. See: [the api for java.sql.Date|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html] .
