Intel Imac Tiger 10.4 boot issue/USB Boot

Intel 20 inch Imac had been CLEAN install Tiger 10.4 from
Grey Original install disks. ALL hardware and O/S working perfectly fine.
Tried to upgrade to Leopard 10.5 but after startup the installer does a "data integrity check"
and reported a " dirty/defective " spot on the Leopard dvd disk and then it offered selection
to restore/reboot back to the original Tiger 10.4 O/S.
The Installer script/process failed and somehow screwed up the boot process.
The leopard disk would not eject. (I have since manually removed it and destroyed it as defective).
What I get now on boot up is the boot tone grey-white screen then the apple shows up then I get
a black screen with the following error message:
localhost:/ root# CSRHIDTransitionDriver::stop
IOBluetoothHCIControler::start Idle Timer Stopped
At this point I hit Enter key and get the following standard root prompt:
localhost:/ root#
I can traverse directories and list files ( cd dirname ),( ls -al) and the original clean Tiger 10.4 instalation
seems to be present and largly intact.
Many commandline commands work but many do not issuing an error like path/image not found.
" info diskutil " displays man page for diskutil. ctrl c exits the man page.
" diskutil list " returns the following:
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/R/Frameworks/WebServ icesCore.framework/Versions/R/WebServicesCore
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices/.frameword/Versions/R//CoreServices
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap
I have tried ALL the usual boot up keypresses that should invoke boot selection menus and other
such utilities but none of these work.
I need some kind of manual command/script/other process to repair the boot process or to FORCE
a boot to an external USB dvd drive from which I have the Tiger install disk so that
I may format the hard disk and redo a clean Tiger 10.4 install.
If there are any mac/BSD/Linux command line gurus in Long Island, NY area
I would be happy to demonstrate this most agrevating issue at the site.
Tnx for your help

check the knowledgebase. I believe you need to "zap" the PRAM. I had this problem with a macbook and whatever's in the kb solved it permanently.

Intel iMac freezes, reboots and other issues

Intel iMac 17" 1.83 Ghz model (Had for a while now)
1 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM installed (Mac detects this fine)
Mac OS X 10.4.8
Beginning yesterday, the Mac froze when shutting World of Warcraft (which had been installed and working for at least two months). Computer completely hung. Restarted machine.
A few minutes later, the machine just switched itself off (or appeared to) - screen goes black. I held in power button for five seconds until I heard a click in the machine. This has happened repeatedly.
One time, the machine froze and the monitor refreshed at a visible rate (I could see the scan line) - each time the screen got darker.
Often, it will turn on, but the OS won't load unless I hold Alt down, or if I use OptionAlt+PR.
Ran disk utility from the install disk, only minor issues, all fixed. The problem of turning off still occurred.
Nothing in the kernel panic log. Diagnostics in System Profiler is saying it passes on the power on self test.
The confusing thing is, that after last night, I pulled the plug out, went to bed, praying to the computer fairy to fix it. This morning, it ran fine continuously for about 8 hours, running WoW, IRC app, iTunes etc. all fine.
Could it be a power supply issue? Is the thing overheating (the Mac is up to date with EFI Firmware update and SFC Firmware update).
I'm utterly stumped as to what's causing it. I don't want to send the thing off as then I'm without a computer.
Any ideas or advice?

Has it done it since?

Boot issue/ USB Modem issue

I have a mac book that I just got about 3 weeks ago. I bought a USB modem because my mom still has dial-up, and I wanted to be able to use it at her house. everything worked just fine for a while, but then I started having lots and lots of truble with getting cut off. I checked the basics, used the smae phone cord that works perfectly for my mom's computer. ect ect. I figured out that I always get cut off if the modem is pluged into 1 usb port, and I don't get cut off if its pluged into the other. I'm already thinking mother bord problem, warintee repair. Then it starts that sometimes when I turn it on, it just comes up to a grey screen, and I have to reboot and zap the p-ram before it works.
SO I talk to the apple 800 number. they authorise me for a warintee repair, and I decide to take it into a local shop so I don't have to wait for the shipping turn around time. The local shop has returned my computer, didn't fix a dam thing and charged me $20. Said that they didn't get cut off, now I'm wondering if they had it pluged into the wrong USB port. said he thinks that the boot issue is a firm ware bug, and that I should wait for a firmware update to fix the problem. sugested putting my computer to sleep rather then turning it off. Does this sound like bull to anybody else???? any other sugestions, other then just calling apple back and shipping it in this time? has anybody else had problems like this that would make it looklike a firm ware bug?
thanks guys!
Mark

It seems to me that you have two different problems. You should look around these fora to see if there are similar problems like the one you report about boot up, and if they got the same answer. But regarding your modem problem, there are a couple of solutions that have been discussed, starting from line noise to a retrofitting of software for the modem. Check out this:

Intel iMac 17" 1.83Ghz Memory Issue

Hello,
I recently received an iMac that would not boot. After seeing the ram used was Hynix I figured the RAM was bad (I've had nothing but problem with Hynix in Apple and Dell products).
Turns out I was right; after pulling those out and putting in a stick of Kingston, everything worked.
However, for some reason my iMac can only have 1 stick of RAM in it. The slot doesn't matter, as long as there is only one stick. If I put a second stick in, I get no boot audio and the screen stays black.
I've tried 2 x 1GB DDR2-667 and 2 x 2GB DDR2-667. Tried these in my laptop with memtest86+ and they had no issues. Currently I'm just using 1 x 2GB stick.
At first I was concerned that the memory controller was bad; memtest86 on the iMac would fail regardless of the RAM but this turned out to be an issue with memtest86 and mac hardware.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or has anyone else experienced an issue like this?
I'm open to reinstalling OSX (currently running Ubuntu 8.10 and Windows XP on it) if there are any diagnostic tools on it that may be helpful in finding out what this issue may be.
Thanks

Hi Termina
The Early 2006 Core Duo and Late 2006 17" 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo iMac's only support a total of 2GB of ram.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23843?viewlocale=en_US
2 x 1GB modules would be the maximum ideal upgrade for that system, but if there is a bad slot then you should be fine running the current 1 x2GB module.

I have an Intel Imac Tiger 10.4 w/ built-in Airport card...Need help please

I live in the sticks, so I am using a Verizon EVDO Broadband USB modem for internet connection (works great by the way)....I also have a Windows XP PC with a Belkin Wireless card....My question:
Can I share my Mac's internet connection without buying or using a router or ethernet cable? Can I do it safely? Thanks so much.....

Thanks for the info.....I have the "network" up and am able to use the mac's internet connection....However, when I try to enable the WEP encryption (40 bit), I lose the network and connection....I am inputting a 5 digit password into the Mac software, and adding that same password into the Belkin wireless software on the PC....But no go....As soon as I disable the encryption, I pick the signal back up....I am running the firewall and stealth modes....Will this be secure enough if I don't enable file sharing ?
Thanks for helping....

4530s DC CARD or USB BOOT not working even if it has this option in bios

i just posted a message but i think it's in the wrong section..
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-questions/sd-card-boot-and-usb-boot-not-working/m-p/9...
Hi, i just got a HP ProBook 4530s , I5 processor, Intel HD 3000 , i have a problem with it, i can't boot on any usb or sd card, i tried all linux versions i could find and also some live windows and bartPE, on my sd card i get the "Disk read error" as soon as i choose the booting device and on usb it goes a little bit further i can see the linux logo some processes starting and then same error related to write on disk, the sd card and usb are not in read only mode and on my other laptop a older one 6730s everything works...
Also all the usb and sd card work perfect in windows, when i boot from internal HDD.
Is there a fix for it?? Or can anybody that has this laptop test if it works booting from usb or sd card, maybe it's a problem with this unit..
i have tried all available bios verions and various usb devices but as i said the usb sticks all worked on my other laptop but not on this one.
Oh and also is there a bios option to stop virus check on boot? as far as i could test that is the only option in bios that is not there and i can't test with it ON/OFF.. any help would be apreciated because i can return the laptop for 30 days and i allready have it for one week. and i really need this option to work.
PS - sorry for my bad english but i'm from Europe

10-K010CA laptop cannot boot from USB

I try everything ( update BIOS, disable securiy boot, setup usb boot first ). But the laptop will not boot any other USB disk except the Recovery USB Disk create by the laptop.
I had a few USB Disk ( windows 7, linux ) which boot normally on HP Desktop PC which set to boot UEFI but will not boot from this laptop.
Will this laptop able to boot from USB Disk at all?

Intel iMac with new usb aluminum keyboard will not recognize boot options

I have a first gen Intel iMac core duo 20". After I replaced the old usb keyboard with the new aluminum usb keyboard, I can no longer boot into single-user mode, select to boot from a different volume (including boot camp), boot from a CD, or boot into target mode. All of the boot key options no longer work. These options do work with an older Apple keyboard. I have all the latest updates including the latest firmware and keyboard drivers. Help Apple, I really need to boot into these different options and with the new keyboard, I can't. I have read several other accounts of this on other sites.

I have an early 2006 intel iMac and am having the same problem with the new keyboard. Called AppleCare, who sent me to the local Apple Store after trying several minutes in vain to cure the problem.
One of the Genius's at the Apple Store pulled up Article 306893, Apple Keyboard (2007): Cannot boot to Startup Manager. This is a document that's apparently not available to the public, as I have the printed copy, but have been unable to pull it up in my searches.
The issue is some intel-based iMacs and Mac mini computers shipped prior to 2007 may not boot to the Startup Manager when holding down the Option key on the aluminum keyboard (2007).
My iMac is listed among the products affected.
The solution they offer is to follow these steps:
1. While starting the computer, point the Apple remote at the computer and hold down the Menu button. The computer should boot into the Startup manager.
2. Use the Fast Forward and Rewind buttons to select the desired boot volume.
3. Once the desired boot volume is selected, press the Play / Pause button to continue booting.
Hope this helps. It works for my system. Still doesn't solve the keyboard issue but offers an acceptable workaround.

Intel IMac will not boot OSX Tiger

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that I am reading and trying to do my home work on why my Intel I-Mac will not boot. It all started after running Windows Vista using Apple Boot Camp. I just wanted to list a few things I have tried after getting replies from posting in some other forums. I will try here since a few people are having similar issues. Any tips would be appreciated. Please no flames
1. If I hold the C button while booting to boot from CD-ROM I get a panic alert.(panic alert meaning lockup, I have to restart or press and hold power button)
2. Holding down D button upon startup will run Apple Hardware test just fine, but no errors found.
3. I can press Option-Command-P-R to reset NVRAM successfully.
4. I can press Option during startup to start the Startup Manager. I can see my Macintosh Hard Drive and CD-ROM, but get a panic alert if I click on either icon. I’m not sure what happened with the Windows Vista hard drive Icon.
5. I can press N during startup to start up from a compatible network server. I see a flashing globe and then a panic alert. Not sure what this function is for.
6. If I press T during startup for Start up in FireWire Target Disk mode, I get a weird symbol that looks like a Y floating around the screen. I have no idea what target disk mode means.
7. If I press Shift during startup to boot in Safe Boot mode, I get a panic alert.
8. If I press Command V during startup for Verbose mode, it appears that I am at a Unix style Command Prompt that hangs.
9. If I press Command S during startup for Single-User mode, I am at the Unix Command prompt which works, but I do not know any commands except fsck –fy which I guess is like a DOS CHKDSK command that tells me my Volume appears OK.
10. Pressing Option-N during startup to start from a NetBoot server using the default boot image gives me the flashing globe icon again, and then hangs.
11. I tried resetting the System Management Unit thanks to the Unix forum guys, but still have the same problems.
12. My next step is to find a Mac friend to burn the Firmware Restoration CD file I downloaded thanks to Michael from the Unix forum. If that does not work I will try whatever you ask.
13. I can boot my I-Mac using a Linux Live CD called Slax and surf the net and play with the software. It runs just great; I just don’t think this 200MB version has the capabilities to format the hard drive or Install to hard disk like Fedora Live does. By the way, the Fedora Live version of Linux hangs after booting from the CD. It boots just fine on my PC.

Greetings,
Somehow or other you will need to be able to boot to the Installation Disk #1 that came with your computer - as you know they are specific to each machine model. After a successful boot to that disk, you can use Disk Utility to remove all of the partitions, wipe that puppy clean, then repartition and make sure you use the GUID partition scheme - you really only need the Bootcamp Assistant if you have multiple drives, internally, and since you have an iMac, your good to go.
When you booted to your Linux disk, could you see the internal hard disk? If so you should be able to open one or two of the folders just to be sure that the disk is OK.
A worst case scenario would be to have to install a fresh hard drive. Do you have any way of borrowing another install DVD for that model to try to get it to boot? That's the key to this whole project.
Try this - Go back into single user mode and issue these two commands in this order:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
Watch the spaces and then issue a "reboot" at the prompt.
During this, the fans will likely come on at a high speed and may stay on for a while and maybe until you do a shutdown and reboot.
I hope this helps a little, and once you get the machine booting to the Installation Disk #1, again, you'll be all set.
You don't say, but is this unit under warranty - I know it may be a stupid question on my part, but if it is, give them (Apple) a call and get some advice on the waranty actions.
Good Luck my friend.
Cheers,
M.

Cannot boot my Intel iMac after installing Snow Leopard on an external USB

I have an Intel iMac with Snow Leopard installed. I have several FW and USB external drives. When I installed Snow Leopard from the Apple install disc on one of the USB drives to act as a backup the system rebooted and the Apple logo appeared and then the spinning gear wheel. After a while the logo was replaced by a circle with a line through it. I booted back into the install disc and tried Startup Disc from Utilities and selected Macintosh HD with the same result. Then I restored the system on my internal drive (Macintosh HD) from Time Machine. Still no luck. Does any one have any ideas before I reformat and reinstall from the SL installer disc?

Thanks for the replies. I was under the impression that Intel Macs can be booted with a USB drive
I just learned today that this is true from one of our Level 4's. PPC macs can't boot on USB drives and I thought that carried over to Intel, but I was wrong.
Didn't mean to misinform you!
Ultimately, I reformatted my internal drive, reinstalled the OS and did a restore from my latest Time Machine backup with Migration Assistant. I didn't lose any data but the restore process took 3+ hours.
Great! Glad you had success!

Intel imac won't boot with usb powered hub attached

My intel imac has started to not boot with a powered (have tried a variety of them) attached. Just stops at the white screen. Also, after I attach the hubs (2, both powered) the computer got into spurts when it just kicks everything attached to the hubs off saying that something pulled too much power. At other times it is fine with the same set up. I've tried resetting the PRam but it didn't make any difference.
I see from other postings that this isn't too uncommon, but didn't see any fix.
Thanks

Can you determine if it is just one of the hubs? Resetting the PRAM probably didn't have anything to do with this problem but the SMC controls the power, try this reset:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.

Intel iMac will not boot past gray screen

Intel iMac will not boot past gray screen
my system:
new (month old) 24" intel imac, 2.8 ghz, 4 gb ram.
running: leopard (upgraded from tiger, which was pre-installed at purchase), installed 10.5.1 update right before this huge problem occurred.
install discs on-hand: two-disc tiget set, single leopard upgrade disc.
what led to this:
i wanted to install windows using bootcamp on a 50 gb partition.
at this point i was running leopard 10.5
i followed all bootcamp instructions, printing out the guide, as well. once i got into the windows setup, i was prompted to choose a partition to install windows. unlike the bootcamp guide, which showed three partitions, one clearly labeled "bootcamp", i saw only one partition. not wanting to risk writing over my mac partition, i quit the setup and rebooted the mac os. after some googling around, i looked for firmware updates (didn't need any), and then software updates. i decided to try updating to 10.5.1.
i then ran through boot camp again, deleting my previous windows partition, creating a new one, and moving forward as before. once again, i was only shown one partition to choose from in the windows setup. i exited the setup again to reboot through the mac os, but this time, i was only given a blank gray screen.
here's what i have tried so far:
booting from a CD, holding down the C or D keys: no response (in fact, i have to restart the computer holding down the mouse button to be able to eject the CD)
booting with option key held down: gray screen
booting with option key held down with external bootable firewire drive attached: the firewire drive appears as a boot icon, and i can click on it within a five second window, but then the screen freezes after that time period, and nothing changes
booting into target mode while attached to another mac: gray screen (no firewire icon, and drive never shows up on other mac)
resetting NVRAM: i'm able to hear the boot chimes, but no difference in performance. gray screen every time
Safe boot: nothing but a gray screen
Verbose mode: gray screen
Single user mode: gray screen
Single user mode with firewire drive attached: occasionally (not every time), i am able to get the white on black terminal to show up. from here, i'm able to run fsck, but it appears to only be checking the firewire drive. i have tried several times to boot from here, and once it took me to a blue screen with movable arrow cursor, but it never went beyond this.
is there anything else left to try before taking it to apple?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

I'd call Apple support at this point. You'll need
to put this issue on the record.
Call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273)
The wait may be long for an agent to come on the line
so expect that and have some other stuff to do in the meantime.
If you have the applecare protection plan, I'd ask about "onsite"
service.
I like your work ! Good luck !

Why can't I boot from the OS X DVD on my Intel iMac?

I'm trying to boot from the Mac OS X Tiger CPU Drop in DVD that came from the Apple Refurb Store with my Intel iMac.
I have tried holding down the C key on start up and it doesn't work. It boots like normal to the hard drive
I have tried using the Start up Manager, but all it can see to boot from is my installed OS X system on the hard drive and my Windows Boot Camp partition.
The CPU Drop in DVD is all that shipped with my machine. Can one even boot with it?
My problem is Photoshop Elements refuses to start up, giving me EXCBADACCESS and KERNINVALIDADDRESS alerts. It crashes every time about half way through starting up. Trashing it's preference folder doesn't fix the problem. In fact, my Preference folder keeps filling up with folders labeled with jibberish names.
I found a discussion thread that I should boot from the original disk that came with the machine and use Disk Utilities, but I can't even boot from the DVD drive.
What step am I missing?
TIA
Kathryn

Hi knittsings!
It's only possible to boot an Intel-based iMac from a grey-labeled DVD, so if you received a black-labeled DVD, someone made a mistake packaging your refurb. The correct DVDs should have been in the smaller box with the User Guide and other small, square documents, along with the mouse and remote. If you find the grey-labeled DVDs in there, just keep the drop-in DVD, they won't need it back since they make them:)
If you don't find them in there, call Apple, or log into your account on the Store page and find your order's link for customer follow-up/issues.

IMac boot issues, panic report since Yosemite upgrade

I've been having serious issues getting my iMac to boot ever since upgrading to Yosemite - Basically it turns on, makes the chiming sound, goes to the white screen with the apple logo and progress bar and at about 1/3 of the way, goes blank white/black, then either reboots on a loop or freezes until I'm forced to manually shut it down.
When I boot in safe mode, I get this ProblemReport:

I have a late 2009, 27" iMac, 2.8 GHz, 8gb Ram - was running Mavericks, upgraded to Yosemite
Ive run disk utility and verified disk multiple times - on one occasion it said the HD was corrupt but successfully fixed and hasn't reappeared since.
I've also run the hardware test (hold down D as computer restarts) with no problems found
And the ram reset thing (hold down R when computer restarts)
Ive also reinstalled Yosemite and clean Installed it so my computer is now empty.
I've also taken out each piece of ram and tried booting with each individual piece (the same problem occurred with each piece)

I am experiencing this same exact problem; however, I upgraded to Yosemite a couple of weeks ago and didn't experience any problems until this past Friday. The only other thing that's been done since then was installing some updated drivers for my daughter's Wacom Intuos Tablet. Everything was fine for a bit and then (as best we can tell), the video froze up on my son while he was using it and he walked away without shutting it down. We *think* it got overheated and appears to have resulted in the ATI Radeon HD 4850 now causing kernel panics during boot-up.
Symptoms:
On boot, the chime plays and apple logo appears and the progress bar begins to fill in until it gets about 1/4 of the way across.
After the progress bar gets about 1/4 of the way across, the screen goes gray/white, then black while the machine shuts down and re-starts
The machine starts back up and there is an error message (sometimes) that appears and says something went wrong during boot.
After a bit (or if I press a key), the whole cycle starts all over again with Step 1. above.
I've done the following, myself, to no avail:
Reset the SMC (unplug the power and all cables, wait 15-20 seconds and plug the power back in) - didn't help
Reset the NVRAM/PRAM - didn't help
Attempted to boot into Safe Mode - boots and then the display shifts to the left and has garbled/pixelated squares on the bottom right corner
Attempted to boot from the 10.6.2 DVD that came with the iMac when we purchased it back in November, 2011 - boots and then the entire display is pixelated/garbled
Ran the Apple Hardware Test (simple (5+ minutes) and extensive (1+ hours) - no problems found by either, but it didn't appear that the GPU was tested during this diagnostic
Verified that the EFI and SMC firmware is up to date with the latest for the iMac 11,1
Booted into the Recovery Partition (this is the only thing that has succeeded)
Recovery Mode: Ran the Disk Utilities to verify the 1TB HD - no issues with the disk or with permissions.
Recovery Mode: Created a .dmg of my entire 1TB Disk to a backup drive (No time machine backups...I know, bad practice on my part).
Recovery Mode: Attempted to re-install Mac OS X Yosemite - problem persists on reboot
Recovery Mode: Erased and Low-Level (1 pass) write of the entire 1TB partition on the HD and re-installed Mac OS X Yosemite - problem persists on reboot
When I attempt to boot into Safe Mode (Verbose: Command + Shift + V rather than Command + Shift), the messages scroll from the screen before I can catch what it's saying, but it appears to be stating that the machine is re-booting after a kernel panic due to display problems...which correlates with the garbled/pixelated display.
I've found a couple of other posts on here and they seem to point to the ATI Radeon HD 4850 and issues with it overheating and going tango uniform as well.
Basic Troubleshooting of Gray Screen Situations: Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup - Apple Support
Specific Troubleshooting and ATI Radeon Info: 09 27" iMac 2.66 grey garbled screen, no boot up   10.8.3. / Senior mods please
I've scheduled an appointment to take it into the Apple Store next Saturday (my first available) to have them verify my findings. I'm hoping and praying that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to repair/replace the GPU...can't really afford it right now.
At any rate, I hope this information is useful to you!

Using Tiger on Intel iMacs

From what I have read on these posts, there are quite a few people who are upset at not being able to boot into Tiger on the new Intel iMacs and I include myself in this group. I understand that the reason this is not possible is that the firmware doesn't allow this, only allowing Leopard to be run on machines that originally shipped with Leopard installed. It seems that a fairly easy solution would be for Apple to come out with an optional firmware revision that would allow this. It sure would make a lot of people happy, people who don't want to run Leopard for whatever reasons or by people who would like the flexibility of a dual boot system on separate partitions like I was able to do on my old PPC iMac G5 and I had the best of both worlds. I would like to hear the thoughts of other users on this issue , maybe if enough people were interested in this, Apple would solve this problem by coming out with this optional firmware revision. They could even charge a small fee for it and I'd be willing to pay. What you think?

Just bought the iMac (model identifier: iMac 7,1) last week from Apple Store. I assume that it's the newest model and it DID ship with Leopard pre installed which, according to all info I've been able to gather, installing Tiger on it would be impossible because of the firmware limitations.
What Kappy said! All intel iMacs can run Tiger.
The new ALU iMacs were originally shipped with Tiger (before Leopard arrived)
and the hardware hasn't changed since then, so there's no technical obstacle
to running Tiger on your hardware.
However, you will need an ALU iMac compatible version of Tiger -- and that's
available ONLY on the install disks that came with the pre-Leopard ALU iMacs
(because there has never been an Intel-compatible "retail" version of Tiger).
Call Apple and order a "replacement set" of Tiger install disks for your iMac.
