IMac (mid 2011) with HDD replaced does not start- I have grey (sometimes blue or green) screen

I had a similar issue in June and despite the efforts of Genius team nothing changed until I uninstall Flash player and reinstall the last version. So, this I did the same and it semeed to work but instead of working more than 2 months , this time it was only for one day and crashed. I had some kind of blue vertical stripes all over the screen.
I did not revived it since.
When I start in Recovery mode, after I select the disc to boot from, I get a grey screen.
I tried all other mode I know, nothing changed.
Could it be a hardware issue?

Anyone know? :(

powerbook g4 - does not start up...it shows kernel panic screen...how do i fix/resolve this problem?

In the overwhelming majority of cases, kernel panic indicates a severe hardware problem. Braby and Allan pointed to useful things. If you can boot from CD / DVD and reinstall without any kernel panic, then may be a software problem, but this is less probable. You must check, anyway.
If you have a 2nd mac around and a firewire cable, you may try to restart the ill mac in target mode and connect it to a healthy mac to see whether it may be used in target mode.

If it was previously working then try a smc and pram reset.
If that doesn't fix it then see if vlc can handle the video.

HT4854 I bought a new mac including 10.8 ML. How can I install 10.8 on my older iMac (mid-2011) with 10.6?

I bought a new mac including 10.8 Mountain Lion. (How) can I now install 10.8 on my older iMac (mid-2011) which came with 10.6?

You will need to buy it at the app store. The license for the pre-installed OS on your new machine is only for that machine. Only OS's purchased from the app store can be installed on more than one machine (as long as you own it).

Service created with New-Service does not start

Hello,
I am trying to create a working service using the New-Service cmdlet. I tried a bunch of different examples, I found on the internet like this one from technet:
new-service -name TestService -binaryPathName "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs" -dependson NetLogon -displayName "Test Service" -StartupType Manual -Description "This is a test service."
The service gets created and is listed in services.msc and Get-Service but I cannot start it. Ever. The state changes to "Starting" but that's all.
I tried it on different machines with different Windows- and PowerShell versions using elevated PS-consoles.
Thanks,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
I tested on my client, and I also keep getting the error 1053, which indicates timeout and the new created service can not be started during the limit time, so you can try to change the service time limit, please note this needs to change registry value,
Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems:
In Registry Editor, locate, and then right-click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
a.Point to New, and then click DWORD Value. In the right pane of Registry Editor, notice that New Value #1 (the name of a new registry entry) is selected for editing.
b.Type ServicesPipeTimeout to replace New Value #1, and then press ENTER.
c.Right-click the ServicesPipeTimeout registry entry that you created in step c, and then click Modify. The Edit DWORD Value dialog box appears.
d.In the Value data text box, type TimeoutPeriod, and then click OK
Refer to:
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the
start or control request in a timely fashion - When trying to start the server service.

Imac running 10.8.2 often does not start up with firewire drives connected

I have a mid 2007 imac running osx 10.8.2 and it will nit restart with two firewire drives connected if it has been running for sometime. If i disconnecr and restart and then connect the drives and then restart again it will restart.

My 21.5" quad core i5 iMac mid 2011 with LION keeps freezing.

this has never happened before while using snow leopard, but when using lion suddenly it freezes when i was on youtube and it has frozen when i was syncing my ipod. the other bad thing about it, is the computer doesn't know that it has frozen and it wont automatically restart even though i have the setting on.
hopefully this is just teething problems since lion is a new operating system, but i'd expect more from a company like apple.
any suggestions? or maybe a patch will come out?

hello,
I am yet to upgrade my OS to Lion but I have experienced this thing on my leopard 10.6 quiet a few times. I called the customer care support guy he gave me a solution to make the macbook run smooth without gettign freezed ( i hope it also works for the iMac ). So, what he told me to do is to drag and drop the entire caches as well as the startupitems folder ( Macintosh HD> Library ) and also the caches folder from your computer account library. restart computer then empty trash box and again restart the computer and use it but honestly bro I dont know if this will help you in OS x Lion.
Can you not restart the iMac after it is getting freezed ??

IMac sees the iPod but iPod does not start up. It had coffee spilled on it

My iPod had coffee spilled on it and it was not discovered for a bit. I dried it in rice and now the iMac sees it but it will not turn on. I did try to turn it on when I found it and I know now that I should not have. What parts may be bad in it now? should I try replacing anything in it or what? any advice is appreceated

Hey mjrussell,
When liquid comes to liquid being spilled on a iPod, you never know how bad it will be. Your best bet if you want to get it fixed is to set it for serviced through Apple. Take a look at the articles below for more information. The second article will also have pricing for your iPod nano.

Satellite L670 - System HDD Recovery does not start

Hello together,
I have a problem with my Laptop. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32bit.
Now I want to restore the original Windows Home Premium. On the laptop is a second partition with a folder named "HDD-Recovery".
When i hold the "0" button on start nothing happens. The System Recovery doesnt start.
Can you help my fix the problem.
Thanks and regards,
Dinder

Hello together,
please read until end before starting recovery! After searching all the web I found a method to reset a Toshiba satellite L500-1UR to factory settings. Before I want to describe the approach I will summerize my starting situation.
I got the laptop from my brother. The boot manager was changed while another Windows Version was installed. So the option Toshiba HDDRecovery in the options of "repair computer" or the option itself after pressing F8 at boot time wasn't available. Fortunately, he didn't delete the "HDDRecovery" folder on its DATA partition, so all factory images were available. To install I needed a method to apply an image installation. This is possible with the Windows 7 recovery CD you can download it for example [here|http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/applications/2659-windows-7-32-bit-x86-recovery-disc.html] .
Boot this CD, start a command prompt. The way to do this is described [here|http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/668-system-recovery-options.html] .
At command prompt you change to the partition with the HDDRecovery folder. At my brothers laptop it was:
D:\HDDRecovery
In a sub-folder you will find the command line tool "imagex". At my brothers laptop it was located in:
D:\HDDRecovery\ODDFiles\Tools
On the other hand, you need the image files. These files were located in
D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\
and ended with .swm . swm-files are splited wim-files, the Microsoft format for image files. For your problem you must locate your "imagex" and your swm-files. On my brothers laptop there were 6 files
10656XSP.swm
10656XSP2.swm
10656XSP3.swm
10656XSP4.swm
10656XSP5.swm
10656XSP6.swm
Now, the recovery is very easy:
change to folder were imagex is located. Here
D:
cd D:\HDDRecovery\ODDFiles\Tools
1. format the WINDOWS partition (mostly C:) on the command line with
format /fs:ntfs /q /V:WINDOWS
2. Apply recovery image to C: with the command, for my brothers laptop:
imagex /ref D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP*.swm /apply D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP.swm 2 C:\
the option /ref says imagex the location of the splitted images, expressed with a wildcard
the option /apply says imagex the location of the first image
the number "2" represents the second image inside of the swm-files, here the image for the WINDOWS partition
C:\ says imagex on which partition it should apply the image.
Perhaps your SYSTEM partition has to be reset to, so you have to do the same steps for it. I did it without formating it by:
imagex /ref D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP*.swm /apply D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP.swm 1 C:\
WARNING: I found out the image number by executing:
imagex /ref D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP*.swm /apply D:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\10656XSP.swm * C:\
The use of the wildcard (*) led to an error, so the command throw an XML-File plot were I found the correct image number for the partitions.
Now you have write back the factory image to your partition(s). Perhaps it is necessary to reinstall the bootmanager. If you get the error:
"NO BOOTMGR"
at startup, you have to use the recovery CD a second time. Now, you can choose the option
"Startup Repair" in the same menu where you found the option "Command Prompt".
It will find out that no bootmanager is installed and will repair it.
So, I hope I could help anyone.
Last but not least, this describtion comes without warranty. I am not responsible for any errors or faults or lost data of your HDD. Please backup your important data to e.g. an external storage.

OC4J 11 with ADF Runtime does not start.

When starting OC4J 11 I get this error.
Error initializing server: Shared library "oracle.fabric.runtime" could not be found.
Fatal error: server exiting
I downloaded OC4J 11 (11.1.1.0.0) Standalone.
Then I was running "ADF Runtime Installer" in JDeveloper 11 Preview 2 (11.1.1.0.0).
In this version the ADF Business Components is 11.1.1.46.84
Oracle IDE is 11.1.1.0.20.46.84
Then I got the Shared library "oracle.fabric.runtime" could not be found - error.
Then I tried to do it manually and
I extracted oc4j_11110_preview
Then I copied the BC4J from JDeveloper to OC4J and added the library in application.xml.
<library path="../../../BC4J/lib" />
<library path="../lib" />
Then I started OC4J with no problem.
I downloaded the “StoreFront”-project that from Oracle.
I created a EAR-file in JDev from the StoreFrontModule.
Then I deploy it to the OC4J
java -jar admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:localhost oc4jadmin password -deploy -file E:\Projekt\FusionStoreFrontDemo\StoreFrontModule\StorefrontUI\deploy\FOD-webapp.ear -deploymentName FOD -bindAllWebApps
One warning: VARNING: JSF1033: Resource injection is DISABLED
Then when I Tried to go to the webb-app at address (http://localhost:8888/StoreFront/ ) I got this error
ERROR MDS-01331 Failed loading document "null".
Im working with Windows XP for both JDeveloper and OC4J.
How do I get any application with ADF to work in OC4J??
Help me!!
/Tobbe

Thats funny. I use a start-script where I added
SET JVM_ARGS=-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
But that was never used by the OC4J command.
Anyway. Now it works much better. Thanks. But sadly I got to next error but I might put in a new Thread.

MacBook Pro does not start up. Shuts down after apple logo screen with a loading bar.

I booted my macbook pro up today and i noticed it took a while to do so. i also noticed that the fans were going fast and the macbook was getting hot during the start up process. When i went to the screen i also noticed a loading bar which i havent noticed before when starting up the mac. Once the loading bar has reached the end, the macbook just turns off and the same thing happens over and over. I am on mountain lion

I went to apple today and they told me that the hard drive has unmounted itself. They have my macbook right now and they said they're going to replace the wire that connects the hard drive to the logic board and see if this solves the issue. If it doesn't work they will replace the existing 250GB hard drive in my macbook with a 500GB as they no longer make that size hard drives (cost of £130 for the replacement). The problem is that i dont have my macbook backed up so will there be anyway to get data off the od hard drive?

Why my Apple Wireless Keyboard (2007) wont pair with my Imac mid 2011 (MacOS 10.7.4)?

Hi there and thanks in advance for the support.
Now we have an apple wireless keyboard 2007 and an Imac mid 2011 with Mac OS X 10.7.4 that won't connect. We had the keyboard the IMac brought but now it's lost and we need to get our old wireless keyboard to work with it.
It's discoverable (we know this because it blinks and appears on the devices list on the BT setup assistant) but it wont pair or even give us the "enter the passcode" to try. We tried the "do not use a passcode with this device" and then the following comes out "the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported."
What can we do? It sounds like you guys in apple development didn't create this connecting option. Is it true?
Buying a new one is no option nor for our pockets neither our moral. Please let us know about solutions.
Gracias

Might be corrupted Bluetooth preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy and paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file to the Trash
Make sure the keyboard has fresh batteries then try pairing the keyboard.
If that didn't help, update your Mac's software to v10.7.5. Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed, then try pairing again.

My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.
