    My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced. Is it internal battery for both, new logic board required, bad hard drive, or bad RAM?
    Help.

    Run an Apple Hardware Test using the original installation disk that has the AHT instructions on it.
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

    It is possible that you may need a new PRAM battery.

    Hi All, 
    I'm getting a BSOD Error while booting my Lenovo Thinkpad L440 system. 
    Please help.

    Hello,
    To troubleshoot the issue, you need review the dump file. We may find out the which file or driver is triggering a BSOD. And in most cases, BSOD is triggered by driver issue.
    Are you doing OS deployment via bootable pendeivce? How do you created the boot image?

    udev is actually after base. I'm going to try linux-lts now, I'll let you know, and obviously thanks for your help
    EDIT: using lts kernel, I rebooted 5 times and everything works fine, no error message at all

    "udev" should be after "base". For example:
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usbinput filesystems fsck"
    Then regenerate your initramfs:
    # mkinitcpio -p [your linux preset, since you're using linux-ck... I don't know]
    For the kernel from the [core] repo, it's:
    # mkinitcpio -p linux
    Speaking of kernels, does it happen with linux-lts too?

  • Installing Arch Linux on USB key: error while booting

    Hello,
    first of all, I must say I've followed the steps from this article on arch wiki to install archlinux on my USB key: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _a_USB_key
    So what I did is to use one of my 2 usb keys to INSTALL linux, and the second one to RUN linux. I used dd to write on the 1st usb, eveything worked fine when booting, then I do install arch on the my second usb following the stept from the link above, everything works until I get this error while booting (at the middle):
    Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sdc/
    Root device '/dev/sdc' doesn't exist. Attempting to create it.
    ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/lotsofnumbers'
    You are being dropped to a recovery shell
    Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
    /bin/sh: Can't contact tty; job control turned off
    [ramfs /]#
    To summarize I'll show you my conf files that could help you to resolve my problem:
    /etc/fstab.conf
    /dev/sdc1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sdc2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sdc3 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
    So here I've sdc1 boot 32MB partition; sdc2 root 3GB partition; sdc3 home 978MB partition for a total of 4GB USB key~
    I didn't make a swap partition as in the tutorial they are writing it's unnecessary for some kind of reasons.
    /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    HOOKS="base udev usb autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
    I've added to here, "usb" to the hooks
    installed GRUB on my sdc, here is the menu.ist:
    # (0) Arch Linux
    title Arch Linux (USB)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdc ro vga=773
    initrd /kernel26.img
    So, I boot GRUB without problems, start Arch Linux, but then I got this error above.
    I've searched alot on some forums and read many stuffs, but sitll can't fix it and it seems complicated.
    I've tried to boot with UUID, also, but didn't make difference. I tried to remove some parameter from the hooks, but unfortunately this wasn't working still. I've read somewhere to use chroot, but I didn't catch on how to do that and what was the use of chroot, I'm still noob user of arch linux and currently learning. Maybe it's the problem, as some forum were talking about creating a new image, but I still don't know how to make it. By the way, I'm not sure this could have fixed my current problem. I've also read somewhere it could be due to my lack of space, but I wrote you how I did partition my USB key, let me know if you have any suggestion please.

    1. What I did is re-installing entirely from my installation disk or USB to test out different setting in  my config files, because I don't know how to edit my .conf as I can't really finish to boot to the end and get in terminal mode? If there is a quicker way to edit files from any terminal to go into my current USB sdc to modify directly my file from there, I'd enjoy probably. So rebuilding the initpio, no, I just re-installed to test out different configs.
    2. Yes, same error.
    3. Tested out by-id/by-path and uuid = no difference
    4. Didn't know about larch, it seems to be a nice tool, I'll check it out

  • Error while booting maverick

    error while booting maverick

    The most likely causes of this error are:
    1) Failing to execute tmloadcf after updating the UBBCONFIG file.
    2) Failing to set TUXDIR correctly in the UBBCONFIG file.
    3) Failing to set TUXCONFIG, PATH, or
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH(Unix)/SHLIB_PATH(HP)/LIBPATH(AIX) correctly in your
    enviroment.when executing tmboot or tlisten.
    You should verify that your environment is set correctly and you should

  • Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

    Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10.  I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac 
    Model Name:
    iMac
      Model Identifier:
    iMac7,1
      Processor Name:
    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:
    2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:
    1
      Total Number Of Cores:
    2
      L2 Cache:
    4 MB
      Memory:
    2 GB
      Bus Speed:
    800 MHz

    Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
    If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
    Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
    You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
    Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

  • HP ePrint from excel add-in: Error while getting driver name for printer

    Trying to use add-in for ePrint from excel/word I get, "error while getting driver name for printer \\...HP DesignJet 800PS 42 by HP," with an option to select "OK" and that same message repeats with each printer in our network, and then it doesn't allow me to print using the add-in. However, I can print normally to HP Go Web, open up Print and Share,  then print it from there. This happens with excel and word. I have Office Suite 2007.

    Hello modameister,
    Sorry you are having issues with this printer and the ePrint add-on.  There are a couple of questions I would like you to answer please.
    1.  What operating system are you using? (XP,VISTA,7,MAC OS X)
    2.  What and how much data are you trying to print?
    3.  Have you tried to copy and paste the data into a different application or tried using the snip it tool?
    4.  Are you receiving any .dll errors (mscms.dll)
    Thanks
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • PDF export from Pages fails "Print - error while printing"

    Every month I have been generating PDF versions of my invoices by using the 'export' function of Pages. This has always worked fine without any problems.
    Today (end of Feb 08), the pdf export function always fails with 'Print - error while printing". A pdf file is saved to disc but it is corrupted and unreadable. I can still export as rtfd.
    I don't see anything about this in the logs, but I do notice that there was a Pages software update to 3.0.2 earlier this month.
    Anybody know how to fix this?

    Hello
    Before re-installing, it may be useful to
    a - repair permissions with Disk Utility
    b - trash the preferences file: <bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plis t
    if it's not sufficient, try to print from an other user account.
    If it works this way, you will know that the application's files are not the wrongdoers as every account calls the same application file.

  • Satellite M40-256 - error while booting via CD

    Hello,
    a well-known friend owns Satellite M40-256 which has Windows problem (error while updating/handling by her children).
    She doesn't own an external Toshiba FDD or ODD. Also this portable has no built-in FDD. Buying one only for this issue? NO
    The boot priority has been changed to: CD-network-HDD.
    I've tried another non Toshiba branded ODD (in BIOS not mentioned/found)
    The original ODD works/boots in another pc (via adapter) very great.
    Ive tried several CD/DVDs to boot from (no error displayed): instant-Linux like knoppix, suse, other windows CDs, recovery CD, ... no success
    Every time the same result: the laptop has a black screen, the ODD speeds up and after about 3 to 5 seconds windows starts with the black-white progress bar.
    I also tried to press C to force booting from CD.
    Some time ago, I had only access to windows in secured mode. But after uninstalling some updates it ends in a licence problem. This issue can be only solved by booting windows-cd via cd.
    It has a Toshiba bios 1.00 (interesting, seems quite old).
    I've trying at the moment to boot via network. Does the Toshiba show some messages about succeeding/failing at boot via network or CD?
    Has setting the execution bit an influence on behaviour?
    Does anybody know a solution booting windows?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for help.
    I will look for an other ODD from Toshiba trying for boot.
    Does the toshiba bios show messages about booting via cd or network? Even choosing network ends in a faulty Windows boot.
    After choosing an item there's no message while booting
    As I mentioned: the most interesting issue is ODD works/boots well via adapter in a normal pc and also after windows has been started (secured mode). But no boot possible.
    I suspect meanwhile BIOS or Mainboard. But is there a chance for update in secured mode? (the only thing it starts is "secured with prompt"). Cats bites itself in tail.
    BIOS also was saved with default setup. Nothing changed.
    In event viewer I've found entry about probs with hard-drive and controller.
    Does a destructive data processing influence the toshiba bios

  • [SOLVED]LUKS error while booting

    This is more of an annoyance than a real problem; however it would be nice to know what is causing this. I have an unencrypted root (/dev/sda3) and two encrypted partitions. While booting I get the following message:
    ERROR:Failed to open encryption mapping: The device /dev/sda3 is not a LUKS volume and the crypto= parameter was not specified.
    However despite this the root is mounted correctly and the boot process follows normally. My two encrypted volumes also mount correctly. I checked my /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg and didn't see anything that might be giving it the idea that my root partition is encrypted. Am I missing something?
    Thanks,
    musashi.

    you probably have "encrypt" in your HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf .
    remove it and rebuilt your initramfs with "mkinitcpio -p linux"
