IBookG4 won't boot,fixedblue screen after Mac logo, could bGoogleEarth lib?

Hi all,
I have an iBook G4 with MacOS Tiger 10.4.11 (which gave me no trouble at all) and I recently got a new MBP17", so I wanted to migrate the data in my old iBook into the MBP. I tried the Migration Assistant but the FireWire connection always stopped when the process had just been initiated (the FireWire logo on my iBook screen suddenly freezes instead of keeping moving around the screen, and I can only shut down the iBook in order to get out of the migration assistant, or the finder if I was browsing through the iBook's hard drive). So far, that was the only problem. I tried to investigate to see why this happened, and since I got a report on the Migration Asst. about some GoogleEarth files, I thought that might be the problem (I copy the reports below, in Spanish, but I think you get the idea: problem when copying file in the route...)

So the thing is that I didn't even have GoogleEarth in my iBook anymore! I deleted it long time ago as it didn't work properly, I forget what the problem was but I thought it was thoroughly erased. Apparently not. So I thought if I installed the newer version of GoogleEarth I might be able to get over this problem (although the FireWire stall problem might not be related to this at all, I've never had problems with it so it was my only guess).
Now comes the thorny part. The problem is I was twitching so many things that I don't remember exactly what happened, but the result is that, after installing GoogleEarth again, and having some trouble while doing so, I decide to delete it again, I try to do the migration again, and it's a no-go. But things get even worse: now my iBook won't even boot. I can see it if I open it as a hard drive through fireWire (T when rebooting), although it will eventually get stuck and I have to shut down and reboot+T again. But if I reboot normally, it won't get past the blue screen right after the Mac logo+wheel gray screen. The mouse appears, then disappears, and that's the end to it.
I've tried repairing the disc with DiskUtility, both with the original MacOSX CD and the DiskUtility on my new MBP through FireWire connection, before it gets stuck (no problems found), repaired the permissions (same same), reset the firmware (rebootopt+cmd+of, then reset-all), reset the PRAM (rebootopt+cmd+pr), I've tried to reboot in Safe Mode (it gets stuck in the Apple logo+wheel screen for a really, really long time, then lets me enter my password, and then gets stuck again in a blue scree, this time with a default desktop background image, then the plain blue screen, and all the while a repetitive sound in the hard drive as if stuck in reading something, which is the same sound as when I reboot normally and gets stuck), and tried DiskWarrior (but it won't work because of the FireWire issue, I think).
I've pulled out the logs from the iBook library and, although there are many things, I will just show you the ones related to GoogleEarth, since it seems like the origin of the problem.

One more thing: the rolling sound on the iBook's hard drive is something that has been going on for a long time, for instance when I opened Safari, it would get the multicolored wheel out, and this sound would start as the whole computer was paralyzed, but eventually it would move on and I could use Safari just fine (of course, since this happened every time, I switched to FireFox). The noise it makes now when stuck in the blue screen is the EXACT same noise as back then. That's why I think it's related to GoogleEarth, because my sturdy, 6-yr-old iBook had been working fine until I tried to migrate the data and the GoogleEarth dylib problem arose (no hard drive problem is my guess - and hope).
I would appreciate any help with this, since I can't really get anything out of the iBook. The FireWire connection will be interrupted constantly, and I can try to backup all the info by rebooting repeatedly and copying manually but it's a pain and some parts of the system just will cause the FireWire connection problem to appear quicker, hence giving me no time no copy them.
Thanks in advance, if you need any further info I'll be glad to provide what I can.
Miguel

sig,
I'm sorry the post was so long but sometimes it pays off to provide all the info at once rather than have people ask about things one has already tried
I think I'm going to do just that: save what data I can, try to do the basic migration manually (Mail account and mailboxes, Internet bookmarks, and some application preferences), and Install the Mac OS X from scratch.
Thanks!

  • 27" iMac Mountain Lion won't boot (Black screen) after switching to bootcamp

    Hi,
    I've been running Windows 7 in Boot Camp on Mountain Lion on my 1 month old 27" iMac without any problems. Tonight after I switched the startup partition to be boot camp the machine won't boot. I get the startup sound and the disks spin up, but the system just sits there with a Black Screen. There is no disk activity other than them spinning up.
    I've tried starting the machine while holding the option key and also command-r, but nothing is happening. I have the feeling that the bluetooth keyboard has not had the chance to connect to the system before it is hanging.
    I tried inserting a Lion OS DVD, thinking that it would at least complain and give me an option to boot back in to Mountain Lion. You can hear the DVD spin up and then go idle.
    Any suggestions on how I can recover the situation?
    Thanks in advance
    Mick

    The RAM mismatch might be the problem fix that.
    Also backup/data recover naturally, assume TimeMacine or bootable clone is corrupted and backup only files to a storage drive
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Install OS X on a external drive and boot from it.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Use Disk Utility on the booted clone to Erase with middle selection (Zero) the ENTIRE internal hard drive
    Use Carbon Copy Cloner to reverse clone the clone onto the internal, copies the Recovery HD too.
    That should fix it, or else the drive or another hardware issue

  • IMac won't boot, dark screen after normal grey start up screen

    Quite perplexed with this problem, have tried everything I can think of.
    Computer: iMac 2.16 gHz 24" mid 2006, 4 gig RAM
    OS: 10.6.8
    Froze and required hard shutdown.  Subsequent to this, has behaved consistently:
    Normal grey screen with Apple logo and spinning timer, can hear disk activity. Then the screen goes dark and nothing else happens (although the computer is still on).  Have to  perform hard shutdown.
    Have tried:
    1. Booting into single user mode (multiple times) and performed fsck, no errors noted
    2. after using 'exit' command in single user mode, computer attempts to reboot but then freezes after noting 'panic'
    3. Reset PRAM (no change)
    4. Tried safe mode boot, progress bar on grey screen progresses, then spinning timers comes on, then same crash with dark screen
    4. Disassembled computer, removed hard drive, mounted normally in external SATA enclosure.  I backed up critical data, ran Disk Utility Repair, no errors noted.
    5. Reinstalled HD, reassembled computer, rebooted, same issue
    6. Attmepted to boot with Snow Leopard Install disc to perform a fresh Achive and Install - after prolonged grey screen with spinning timer and audible DVD drive access, same switch to dark screen and no further progress
    7. Same panic message and stalled boot attempt noted when booting into single user mod
    I'm stumped.  My assumption is that there is a courrpt file that is causing a kernel panic during boot and I assumed that I'd be able to perform an archive and install but when this failed I'm guessing all I can do is replace the hard drive with a new one and then go through the hassle of transferring all the data over manually.
    I would welcome hearing any other observations, similar experiences or other ideas.  MTIA.

    One update ... when I boot the computer and get the 'dark screen',  I hear disc activity.  So I started hitting the return key and I get the chime with each return as if I'm on the log in screen and hitting the return to log in without entering any text.
    That would argue there is a problem with the screen.
    However, it does not explain why the computer display works normally during single user mode and hangs (without the screen going dark) when trying to reboot from this mode.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 won't boot, grey screen, 10.9.4

    Hi guy I hope you are all well,
    I have been running a 1.1 MBP Santa Rosa since 2010 and decided it was time for an update, so in January I got hold of a 2008 Penrhyn model. That was running Mavericks absolutely fine until 2 weeks after 10.9.3 when it began to have gfx crashes, kernel panics, refuse to boot etc. Now it won't even turn on, just a low fan noise for 10 secs then it switches itself off.
    I figured the Penrhyn was just too long in the tooth now and must have had dodgy hardware. Nothing I've made this year will now work on the Santa Rosa on Snowy so I decided to splash out on a mid-2011 Sandy Beach, 15.4" 2.0ghz i7. This has been absolutely great the last month, until the day I went up to 10.9.4. It began to crash and need rebooting when iPhoto opens after plugging in my iPhone. At first I disabled iPhoto's auto-open and the phone works fine with iTunes and charges when iPhoto is closed. Without the phone plugged in iPhoto worked fine. Inevitably I plugged the phone in last night while iPhoto was still open. The screen went a purple-pattern, I rebooted and now it won't boot past the apple logo and pie-wheel at the chime. It just goes to a grey screen.
    Recovery does not work, just a solid blue screen. Booting off a Lion install DVD also just gets a grey screen after the logo/chime. I cleared the PRAM, and the SMC three times. Starting in safe-mode the progress bar loads fine, but then it's back to grey screen.
    So I'm now back on my Santa Rosa, which has never had a fault, nor may I add have any of my PPC Macs!
    Anyone have a possible solution for this or know what the exact hardware-fault may be? I really don't want to pay Apple to repair it, having spent on over £1000 on MBPs this year that now don't turn on
    Many thanks, James

    I've been having similar issues with a late 2011 17" MBP with 10.9.4.  I haven't worked out what the problem is, but I'm eventually able to enter recovery mode after multiple (15-30) attempts.  Between attempts, I tried resetting the PRAM, entering safe mode, entering hardware diagnostics mode, and occasionally just leting it hang on the blue or grey screen.
    Repairing disk permissions fixes the problem.  It's happened twice now, with an hour or two of panic between getting it back up and running again.  It's only been since the 10.9.3 or 10.9.4 update, which other users have experienced problems with.  I didn't make a backup before updating (this is the first issue I've ever had with my machine), so I may have to start with a fresh install to determine if it's software or hardware.

  • Macbook won't boot up anymore after trying to reformat

    So my White Macbook won't boot up anymore after trying to reformat. While trying to install a fresh copy of Snow Leopard, the Macbook just froze and I had to reset. Now, while trying to boot it up, it hangs at a white screen with a folder with a question mark.
    My install disk is still in there, so when I try to boot up while holding C, nothing happens. It either goes to the folder with a question mark or the screen stays white. So after that I tried holding option to go to the drives nothing happens. I just see a white screen and a cursor.
    I tried resetting PRAM and tried booting in safe mode and everything but to no avail. Everything results in just a white screen or just a folder with a question mark.
    Can I do anything before I have to bring it to the Apple Store? The optical drive should work because before I reformatted it, I could see that the disk was in the drive because the icon was in the upper right.

    it hangs at a white screen with a folder with a question mark
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk.
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

  • My Yosemite startup screen (grey mac logo and bar) has frozen after installing. The progress bar is stuck at halfway.

    My Yosemite startup screen (grey mac logo and bar) has frozen after installing. The progress bar is stuck at halfway.
    H

    I've had the same issue and despite clearing the PRAM and powering on and off repeatedly this is what has (at least temporarily) resolved my issue:
    I've done this 3 times and sometimes it works right off the jump other times I've had to wait a bit and try again or power off and try again, once the start up screen is frozen hit Command : Option : Shift : Esc and a window should pop up "You restarted because of a problem..." from there you can go to your desktop. I haven't found an actual resolution to fix the problem but this does get you into your computer.
    Hope this helps!

  • Hello my MBP 15" stops at grey screen after apple logo disappears

    hello, my MBP 15" stops at grey screen after apple logo disappears, what can i do about this? ive tried booting into safe mode but screen turns blue with black lines also tried resetting NVRAM and PVRAM but still stops at grey screen, also tried using applejack, it shows no problems at all, says my disk volume is ok but the screen still stops at grey during start up, havent tried the installation disk thing because i dont have my installation disk with me

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 10
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 11
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 12
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • My computer won´t boot and restarts at Apple logo with the spinning thing

    My computer won´t boot and restarts at Apple logo with the spinning thing and I can´t get it to work.
    Before this happen I had left the computer on without a cable plugged in and so it ran out of power.
    I just pressed the startbutton again after I´ve plugged it in and this problem started.
    Any ideas?

I updated all drivers and i noticed every time i update the ati and intel driver it will go blue screen after windows logo. after i uninstall it at in safe mode it can load normally. My question is there any solution for my graphic card or is it already damaged? or any other hardware problem? please because i have to use high graphic as i use photoshop

  • MSI R9 270X - Black Screen after Win7 logo

    Hello there.
    About a week ago I upgraded my PC, buying several components and putting it to work. Here's the specs.
    Main Board: M5A97 EVO R2.0
    Bios Version: Latest
    Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X TwinFrozr OC Edition 2Gb
    PSU: Don't know
    12v rail Rating of listed PSU:
    CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ggz BE SkAM3+
    Memory: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600Mhz
    SSD/ HDD: Western Digital WD10EZRX-00A8LB0 1TB
    CPU COOLER: The one that came with the CPU
    Raid Card: Onboard
    Sound Card: Onboard
    OC: (Yes / No) Don't know
    Operating System: Win 7 SP 1 64
    So, it worked just fine for about 3 days. Last Saturday night I tried to open Google Chrome after some gaming and the the system froze. I got a screen with vertical black and white stripes. I had to reboot the system and it gave me a black screen, crashing again, after the Win Logo at start up. At this time I was running either 14.7 or 14.9 ATI drivers.
    I could only start the PC on Safe Mode. Removing the drivers and getting Windows general VGA card settings would allow me to use Windows in normal mode though. Once I installed the Graphic Card's drivers it crashed on reboot, always with the black screen after Win logo. I installed several ATI drivers, namelly 14.9, 14.11 beta, 13.12... and nothing worked.
    I flashed the Mother Board BIOS to the latest version, formatted the HDD doing a fresh install of Win 7, installed Catalyst first and then the drivers, the drivers without catalyst, etc. and nothing worked, always getting a black sreen on reboot once the Graphic Card's drivers were installed. I even swapped the Graphic Card to a different slot to no avail.
    Right now I'm using my old Radeon HD 5670 with the latest drivers and everything works just fine. It even works fine if I keep both Graphic Cards installed with the monitor plugged to the older card. I find this odd since to do so, Windows loads both cards drivers with no errors. But once I switch to the new card everything goes black.
    Can someone help me out? I've tried to contact my vendor's technical support through mail but they're not answering. I fear that I'll have to report it as DOA and swap it out, which will take quite some time taking into consideration the way things tend to work around here.
    EDIT - I don't have a 2nd system to test it on.

    Nope. Not driver issue at all. I tested at least 3 different drivers, all with the same result. Besides, I used both Driver Fusion and Driver Cleaner and CClean to remove any non-deleted registry entries. Always got the same problem. Went as far as formating the drive and doing a clean Win install. The problem persisted.
    Tried installing drivers without Catalyst to no avail. Tried installing Cataltst first and then the drivers. Nothing. It always crashed omce the drivers were installed.

  • Computer won't boot at all after 10.5.7 update

    After installing the 10.5.7 update, and having it hang on the blue screen (as plenty of others did), my mini will not boot past the grey apple logo screen.
    I have tried rebooting several times as this seemed to help some others, as well as holding down the Shift key to boot in safe mode, all to no avail.
    I inserted the OS X install disk, and ran disk and permissions repair multiple times, also to no avail.
    What should I do to get OS X up and running again?
    Cheers.

  • HELP! MacBook Pro 17" Won't Boot-Grey Screen-Errors During Verbose Safe Mode Boot

    Booting regularly it hangs on the grey screen, if it does go into desktop, it freezes and won't do anything.
    I did disk check and repair even though it found no errors, and did verify and fix permissions since it showed a LOT of permission errors. Still won't boot into desktop though.
    Ran safe mode verbose and got the following disk0s2 I/O Errors-What does this mean??? Hard drive problem?
    I have reload OS X 3 times in the past few weeks because of freezing issues in Mavericks and stuck with Mountain Lion and it was running fine until I went to boot up this morning after a clean shut down and won't boot up ever since.

  • Portege R30 won't boot from SSD after upgrade to SSD and HDD

    Hi
    I upgraded my Portege R30-A to add a second SSD (Crucial M550) replacing the optical drive with the new SSD with caddy.
    But now the system won't boot automatically from the original SSD.
    I could press F12 while turning on my laptop, and bring up the boot manual. Here I can see my original SSD and I can boot from it correctly.
    In the boot order in the BIOS, I only see HDD/SSD, USB Memory, ODD .... It doesn't give me the option to choose between SSDs.
    Anyway when I boot in this way I get blue screens after a while in win7.
    I have tried to instal a HDD as the second disc instead os SSD and the resut is the same.
    Is there anything I can do to solve this, now I have to use the second disc as an external USB disc.
    Thanks,

    I have experienced the same problem. (I don't know why my previous reply got deleted.)
    The problem all relates to the CSM mode of Toshiba BIOS.
    The solution is adding a boot partition (FAT32) on the drive that is in the original ODD spot.
    Use a Windows 8 Installer (on a USB drive) to build a boot sector on that partition and direct it to the SSD where Windows 7 is installed. Then after you have done all of this, switch back to UEFI mode.
    The system should be able to boot Windows 7 properly from the SSD in UEFI mode.

  • MBP 13" Won't Boot, Gray Screen w/ ? Folder, Hard Drive is perfectly fine

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro that won't boot up. When I used my install disk to get to disk utility, it did not recognize that there were any drives in the computer.
    I tried:
    Removing the hard drive and plugging it into another computer using a SATA to USB adapter. It worked fine and I could see all of the files on the hard drive. I ran the disk utility on another Mac to see if there were errors. It found none. I then restarted the other Mac and selected to boot from the USB drive and it booted perfectly fine. I tried reconnecting and seeing if it would boot now for some reason (machines are funny like that). It didn't; same problem.
    Next, I tried:
    Installing a different hard drive to see if the disk utility program would see it. It did not.
    Then, I tried:
    Connecting the original hard drive to the defective Mac using the SATA to USB adapter and trying to boot from USB. This worked fine.
    Conclusions so far:
    -The Hard Drive is 100% ok
    -The Hard Drive Cable MAY be defective
    -If the Hard Drive Cable is not at fault, there MAY be a problem with the logic board.
    I was wondering if anyone has any further ideas for me before I try swapping out the hard drive/infrared cable?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I have pretty much the same problem, although I don't get the question mark, I get the gray screen with a symbol like a "no entry" sign. In other words, circle with a slash through it. Very odd. Never seen that before. I booted from two different external drives and the computer boots fine. The internal drive mounts on my desktop and is accessible, nothing is wrong. I cloned the internal drive to one of the external drives and booted from that fine as well.
    The disk has been repaired via Drive Genius. I rebuilt the directory through Drive Genius and it seems to run just fine.
    It seems it may be as simple as a bad or loose cable, but since the icon is something I'd never seen I wanted to see if anyone knows what that icon might mean. The only new thing I did last week was defrag the drive through Drive Genius.
    Oh also, I replaced the battery last year from OWC. The glue holding the silver outer plate has come off so that battery, though working fine, is a bit of a pain. Since the battery is lose inside that casing, I was wondering if maybe there is a strain internally. I don't know the wiring that's near the battery connection.
    Thanks for any help
