Imac 27 Intel will not boot normally only in Safe Mode

I posted previously but the answer to the question was did it wake up in safe mode, i did not give it a chance and I restored from back up to 10.10, upgraded to 10.10.1 and it worked for 1 week and returned to the previous problem.
I ran AHT - Passed, reset PRAM, verified disc - Passed, repaired permissions and removed each RAM module and still will only boot in safe mode. The crash report is below.
It locked up while on Safari, and wake up. When booting it loads the first 25% then goes to grey screen and stays there with spinning beach ball or just pointer never goes to log in screen.
In Ten (10) Crash logs it gives me the following reason:

  • Powerbook G4 will not boot normally, only in safe mode.

    So...about a month ago I updated my powerbook with all the updates that were available, one of the updates was 10.5.8. I came back after the update had run for a while, and found my computer with a black screen, and a faint white bar towards the bottom of the screen. The computer wouldn't respond, and I was forced to do a manual shutdown. The computer would then not boot, instead finally resting on a light blue screen with an active mouse pointer after passing the gray apple screen.
    In safe mode, I downloaded and installed the combo 10.5.8 update, but it made no difference.
    I assumed it to obviously be a software issue, and so I backed up my info, and reinstalled Leopard. I then updated to 10.5.8 using the combo update. My computer functioned normally for about a week, and then froze, mouse responsive, but nothing else. After manual shutdown, same problem, computer started to blue screen with pointer.
    Since that time I've reset the PRAM, run disk utility a million times (no errors), repaired permissions, all to no avail. I've run the Techtool diagnostics on it, and it found no hardware failures. The computer will not boot from an external hard drive, ruling out the HD.
    I've replaced the RAM with different RAM, again will not boot. The computer boots without fail every time in safe mode.
    History on my computer, one of my memory slots failed to recognize memory any longer, and my logic board was replaced a little less than 2 years ago while I still had applecare.
    So to sum up:
    Powerbook boots only in safe mode
    Stays at blue screen with mouse pointer when booting
    May work properly for a few days after erase and install of OS, but then fails again with same systems shortly thereafter
    Any ideas???

    Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test from DVD?

  • My MacBook Core 2 Duo will not boot up.  In safe mode I see keychain problems and Mach 1102.

    My MacBook Core 2 Duo will not boot up.  In safe mode I see keychain problems and Mach 1102 and it keeps circling through the same error.  Also the screen is so faint (pressing the F1 and F2 keys don't do anything).   I got this from a friend and he didn't have any of the original discs.  Any suggestions?  From what I've read it's a problem with a recent update.  I've never had a Mac so I'm trying to learn and fix it. 

    I just had an issue like this. I was able to boot up with an external firewire drive, although it was a lot of trouble. I think doing an option boot finally worked; holding down the option key, I eventually got to see the firewire drive was bootable, and booted from it.
    I put the thing in verbose boot mode (command - v , I think; but please look it up. I have no Mac books at work to check). In verbose mode, you could see that the hard drive could not mount; the OS tried to do fsck, but it failed around 2/3 of the way, and the CPU was halted.
    I was occasionally able to boot normally, but never in safe or single user modes; these do a disk test first, which invariably failed.
    I could see from the system and console logs when I managed to get the firewire boot going that there were repeated errors trying to access drive s03, the internal SATA drive. The logs on the SATA drive showed huges numbers of errors. At a wild guess, for some reason a lot of sectors went bad all at once. There had been a some erratic behavior before, but I'd put that down to the single processor G5 problems. (these were non video related, just freezes).
    Applecare wanted me to carry the huge thing into the local Apple store, but I persuaded them to just send me a replacment hard drive, which they did. The new one works perfectly.

  • Blue screen: my G5 fails to boot normally, only in safe mode

    Greetings,
    After a power failure my iMac G5 started to behave quite odd.
    That is, when I saw the computer was off, I pressed the power button, and it turned the coolers on and showed a screen filled with colored "snowflakes" (like one an untuned TV set shows, but static).
    Curious, I forced it to restart, which ended in my current problem: +it boots, shows me a blue screen with mouse arrow in topleft corner, and this is it.+
    Interesting is that when I move the mouse the cursor doubles: one arrow stays in its original place, and another one moves around the screen. Five minutes (or so) later the second arrow turns into a spinning beachball. After the blue screen appears there is almost no disk activity to be heard.
    My next move was to try and boot from the Leopard DVD, which took much longer as it should, but ended in exactly the same way.
    After that I tried safe mode, and here at last it worked. TechTool Pro's full disk check (including surface test) did not show any problems.
    Reading the logs does not provide any clues to the problem. Everything is pretty much the same; I suppose it's just I don't know which log and where to read.
    (By the way, I don't have the Application Enhancer which can cause a similar problem)
    Any ideas on what's going on and how to deal with it will be very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    There may not be a problem with your disk, but there certainly could be some problems with your file system. If you have or can borrow a copy of Disk Warrior, I'd use that to rebuild your directory with a new one; it will probably show a lot of problems in the report.
    If you can't do that, then at least if you're in Safe Boot mode, the first thing I'd do is Repair Permissions, and then Verify Disk. If the Verify Disk report shows serious problems, you'll need to repair those before you can get a normal working system again. You should also try rebooting with the 10.5 Installer DVD again to see if it will let you boot, after you Repair Permissions and Verify Disk; if so, you can use Disk Utility from the DVD to repair your disk.

  • Mac will not boot up - stuck in safe mode

    Hi, my mac recently froze so I decided to hard-reset it in order to re-boot it quickly.  After it turned off, I tried to restart it but it sat on the grey screen with the spinning circle for at least 15 minutes, so obviously something is wrong.
    I looked up the support section and it recommended I try safe boot, to reset NVRAM/PRAM, or to start from an install disk.  At this point I'm only on safeboot mode but it does not seem to be working.  I have run the safe boot in verbose mode but it has been running for about 45 minutes and not much progress..
    Right now, the last line showing is "SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed".  That line has been repeated 4 times.  I'm not an expert but I think that means it's not working.
    Any ideas/help from this fine community?  Thanks.

    That means the internal drive has failed, or there's some other hardware fault. What backups do you have?

  • Computer will not boot up; only rotating wheel. OS 10.7 iMac

    computer will not boot up, only rotating wheel. OS 10.7, iMac

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.
    Re-install if that doesn't work.

  • Imac crashed and will not boot up

    So my iMac crashed and will not boot. The power will come on and when it switches to the boot sequence it powers off.  I bought Black Tie protection at Best Buy but when I took it to them they shipped it to Apple. The problem was never fixed. Apple said it was a software issue to reload the OS. Well i did that and not even a day went by and it is doing the same thing. Any suggestions would be helpful...

    I agree with BGreg that you should run Apple Hardware Test , however run it in Extended Mode. If no errors turn up run it several times. It's a lengthy test so be patient. Also here is what Apple says about your symptoms in Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup.
    I hope you have been backing up your system, if not then if you can boot into Safe Mode as suggested you should immediately backup using either a clone or Time Machine. That should be the #1 priority to preserve your data.

  • IMac Late 2006 Will Not Boot Up

    I have a late 2006 iMac. The problem I have is that it will not boot up. I press the power button and the light comes on but the display is blank. Do you all think the problem is the logic board?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andrew

    Could be. Is it that the display is blank but the system is running???? If so, what if you connect an External Monitor.
    My iBook has been having Logic Board issues similar to what you say though, but it's because of a chip on the lower side of the board that become desoldered. I ended up putting a small piece of rubber onto it to apply pressure onto the chip once I reapplied the case/undercover. It works & I backed up everything, but it sometime acts up again with similar symptoms as your iMac.

  • 15" iMac G4 800Mhz will not boot up

    Hello all,
    I have a 15" iMac 800Mhz G4 system with 512ram that will not boot up unless I take out the memory and reinsert it every time before a start up. I get a blank grey screen unless I pull the memory stick out and put it back in. Any ideas ? I tried a different stick of memory but had the same problem ? confused.
    When the system is running it runs like a champ! I cant afford a new mac at this time or a heavy repair fee
    Thanks

  • Computer will not boot up correctly in any mode.

    Hello,
    I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 with Windows 7 that will not boot up to my log in screen and it does not matter what mode I put it in..safe..etc. I have tried everything I know to do ...like system recovery in the recovery manager. I have no recovery disk or anything. Any help

    That means the internal drive has failed, or there's some other hardware fault. What backups do you have?

  • G770 won't boot normally or in safe mode... I suspect it has something to do with the boot optimizer

    My Lenovo G770 will not boot in normal or safe mode.  I usually escape out of the boot optimizer.  Today I let it run and it went to the "starting windows" screen with a brief startup of the windows 7 animation...it freezes for a second, then a quick flash of the bsod, then to the "windows error recovery page" giving me the option of "starting windows normally" or "Launch Startup Repair (recommended)." 
    Starting Windows Normally eventually brings me back to the same place repeating what I just stated above paragraph.
    When I launch the Startup Repair it "Cannot repair this computer automatically".
    So I go to view advanced options for system recovery and support.
    It brings me to 5 options:
    Startup Repair (we already tried this above)
    System Restore (unfortunately I didn't create any restore points)
    System Image Recovery (unfortunately I haven't created an image to recover)
    Windows Memory Diagnostic (no problems found-done several times)
    Command Prompt (don't know what I can do here except for remove a bad/corrupted driver which may be the problem, but I don't know the driver name that is associated with the boot optimizer...can anyone tell me this?)
    I've tried booting to safe mode in all of its incarnations and I can't even do that..it repeats the same things as stated above...windows 7 animation briefly starts then locks up, flash of bsod, then the windows error recovery page.
    I've tried booting to last known good configuration (same thing occurs...brief startup of windows 7 animation, freeze, flash of bsod, then error recovery page.
    The only thing that has given me any kind of result was "disabling system restart on system failure."  When I do this, the BSOD doesn't flash briefly..it stays. and it gives me the error message page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.
    I'm at a loss as to what to do.  Not being able to boot into Safe Mode even is really frustrating.  Any advice from anyone?  can I remove the driver associated with the boot optimizer?  If so, what is the name of the driver and where (directory) is it located? 

    How did you resolve the issue?
    I have the exactly same issue.
    When I go System Image Recovery -->Select System Image-->Advanced->I can open all the drives [:Local Drive(C , LENOVO(D, Local Disk(E, Boot(X-where i think executable booting is here]. It comes with an Open prompt asking me to enter File Name with a File type: Setup Information.
    I don't know which setup information and where to find it on my Drives.
    Anyone know how to fix?

  • My Macbook Pro won't boot up, only in safe mode!

    Help, my macbook pro won't restart, only in safe mode! and it seems that safe mode has plenty of implications for use.  my usb memory stick doesn't seem to be recognized while in safe mode.  I was doing a cleanup on mackeeper just after I downloaded a trial version of microsoft office mac.  The trial wouldn't work properly so I deleted it and decided to do a cleanup with mackeeper.  than the mac froze while mackeeper was doing it's cleanup and the screen flashed black a few times.  Ever since it won't boot up unless I use safe mode.  Also, I downloaded the most recent updates while in safe mode but it doesn't seem to be recognizing that I already downloaded them because software update is still telling me that I have 6 updates.  So I am horribly confused at this point.  Please help, I need this laptop to do report cards (it's a good thing I got an extension). thanks

    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V).
    find /Sy*/L*/Ex* -type f -name Info.plist -exec sh -c '/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$1" 2> /dev/null | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo ${1%*.kext/*}.kext' {} {} \;
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 3
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, these steps are all copy-and-paste — no typing. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Firefox will not open even in the safe mode

    Started with the addition of beta 4 where gmail would not open and it froze firefox. Added whatever the new addition was yesterday (3/14/11) and then firefox would not even open. Tried safe mode but it still will not open. Error message below

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-beta.html
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • Imac Intel will not boot up - 3 days old, light on, starts to spin...

    I got an Imac Intel 20" from my husband on mother's day and it now will not turn on!! White light comes on, sounds like it is trying to boot and then nothing... blank screen, no beeps - have unplugged and restarted, tried a million key combination from the forums and still nothing... locked up once on "Garage?" software (according to son)... worked for 2 days...
    Very dissapointed and sad... husband looking like the PC is still a better box even after breaking down and getting the Imac - can't help much because this is all new to him...
    Help!

    If you bought your imac with a credit card anywhere in your home state(or within 100 miles of your home in another state), then you can return it within 30 days if you are unsatisfied. That is federal law, and a store cannot do anything to deprive you of those rights--no matter what they say (or what they print on the receipt under your signature). My Apple store tried to tell me they only allow returns for 2 weeks. I told them the were violating federal law and they were required to issue a credit for the amount of the return, and they reluctantly complied.
    I believe credit card companies are now required to print those rules on your bill (mine does and I don't think it would do so voluntarily), so you can check the fine print on your last bill and read them.
    So, if you meet the above requirements, take your imac back . Insist on a refund. Be firm. If the retail person won't do it, tell them you want to speak to a manager. Once they credit your account, walk up to another retail person and tell them you want to buy a 20" imac.
    If the retailer won't credit your account, then call your credit card company, and tell them you tried to return a defective product within the 30 day limit that you bought in your home state, and you would like them to reverse the charges.
