K9A Start up issues

This is my first post and not so coincidentally my first build. The machine runs pretty good when I get it up, but there are two start up issues that behave differently, but I believe are related.
The first issue is when trying to power up first thing in the morning, nothing happens. The PSU turns on, fans turn on, LED's lightup, but the monitor doesn't kick in. So because the monitor isn't on, I can't tell if the machine continues to boot or not. I've found that if I power back down and pull the power cord from the PSU, wait 15 or so seconds, plug it back in and re-start, it boots perfectly.
The second issue occurs after exiting from the BIOS setup program. The machine will go to re-start mode, but once the monitor is powered down, it won't start back up and the LED's look and the CD sounds like the boot is stuck in a do-loop. I have to power down manually and upon re-start the message appears:
"WARNING!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed, and the system is restored to the defaults setting. Please press any key to continue,,,"
This is very baffling because I'm not overclocking, at least not intentionally!
The machine will continue to boot normally from this point.
I've tried to perform some diagnostics such as disconnecting all peripheials one at a time, but nothing helped. I don't have a spare video card to swap and check, so that's still a possibility(?). I also suspect it may be a PSU issue, but am in the same boat as the video card.
Anyone have any idea's or experiences with these types of start up issues? Any help or idea's would be appreciated.

Yes, removed them one by one, to no difference.
I went into bios and manually assigned the timings according to the maker. These were all set to Auto prior to my changing them to 667 Mhz, 4-4-4-12. Hit f10 to save, crossed my fingers and looking through my tears, there was no change in the re-boot behavior.
I installed the D-Bracket to see what the little blinking LED's will tell. After setting up the problematic conditon, they stopped at Initializing Keyboard Controller, and then as I suspected, went into a do-loop starting at:
1. Early Chipset initialization
2. Memory Detection Test
3. Decompressing BIOS image to RAM
and hanging at 4. Initializing Keyboard Controller, then starting over at #1.
Spark any thoughts?

System Start up issue in my ABAP + JAVA system

HI,
when i try to start up my SAP (ABAP+JAVA) system, server processes fail to start. Below is the trace file.
Though it says missing file jvmx.jar, not sure if this is the reason for the start up issue.
Thanks to check and assist.

MAJOR Start-up Issues: Can my imac be saved?

Hello all-
I sure hope someone can help me. I am really worried about the state of my imac. It is only ONE YEAR old and has always been maintained with the latest updates.
Quick background: A few weeks ago, while in screensaver mode, I returned to my mac to find a white screen with a folder and a question mark. I had never seen this before! It was frozen. I had to force shut down by holding the button on back. Since that time, the same thing has sporadically happened when the computer was in screensaver mode. In the last few days the problem has worsened with start up issues. Yesterday, when i started up the computer I kept getting just a blank white screen and what sounded like "a slow revving" of the disc several times and then nothing. After continually trying to restart (including in Safe Mode) eventually I got the apple logo and it started. When that happened, I immediately backed up everything for fear my hard drive is dying and then began to troubleshoot.
What I've tried: After looking through the threads I have tried a number of suggestions.
- I repaired the Disk using First Aid (it says all was Okay)
- I repaired permissions
- I disconnected all cords & reset the SMC
- I booted from the disc & ran the Extended Apple Hardware Test (it said all appears Okay)
After doing these things last night, the computer started up several times just fine so I shut it down for the night.... which brings me to this morning!
Start up was MUCH worse than yesterday. Same slow revving sound, white screen and nothing (at least 10 times) - even when trying Safe Mode. Then it worsened to a black screen and no sound at all - as if nothing was happening. I thought it was dead! I unplugged the power cord for 15 seconds and tried again - this changed it back to the white screen and a sound of more revving power. After about 3 tries, I got the apple logo and the spinning wheel for about 2 minutes - then it started!
This is where I am now. I am afraid to turn it off and not sure what else to try. I thought after all I did last night, the problem was fixed. Why does the hardware test and repair disc say all is fine? And why after doing those things last night did it start up numerous times? (and speedy too!) But then this morning I'm back where i started.... ? How can I troubleshoot this problem further?
I would really like to try everything before resorting to taking it in. Money is tight right now.
GREATLY appreciate any advice!
Thanks a lot,
Karen

Warning!! ** (See bottom of post)
New Development: From Disk Utility, I chose to run "verify disk" again. (Somewhere I had read that sometimes, it needs to be run a few times before it will find a problem with the disk).
Sure enough! This time I got errors and it suggested I repair the disk!
Errors in verify mode were in RED as follows:
Invalid index key
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed
I then restarted with the system disc, opened First Aid and chose Repair.
The following showed up in RED during the repair process:
Invalid index key
Incorrect number of thread records
Invalid directory item count
volume bit map needs minor repair
Invalid free block count
volume header needs minor repair
And finally in GREEN (after 10 min):
HD Repaired Successfully
** After doing this, and trying to restart, i get the white screen and the spinning wheel indefinitely. (even when i try Safe Mode) It appears I can no longer boot my HD. I wanted to share the errors above incase it brings anyone to any further insight, but I'm not so sure it helped my situation.
Suggestions?

Having start-up issues with my 1st gen Macbook Pro

Hi everyone. I just started having start-up issues with my first generation Macbook Pro. It was working fine the other day when I last used it, but today I went to use it and it wont load up to my desktop...? It starts up (grey screen with the little swirly bar under the apple,) then it goes to a blue screen, then my background and dock appear, then (before any of my desktop files even show up,) it goes to a blue screen (that brightens up and then dims a little,) and it just keeps showing this with a little swirly progress symbol (shows when the screen is darker blue, then disappears when the screen is a brighter blue.) I've included a video that I took with my iPhone to show it situation. Any ideas as to what's wrong with it? Thanks in advance!

Safe Boot by restarting your computer while holding down the "shift" key. Safe booting disables all nonessential processes, often times allowing you to start up when you would otherwise crash.
As of OS X 10.5.6 Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache location in the /var/db/dyld directory. A corrupt cache here can cause the blue screen crash. Once you restart normally, the cache will be recreated. This should take care of the issue.

Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated.

Start up Issues with Mountain Lion?

Having start up issues with Mountain Lion. Gray Screen and nothing happens.

If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

I purchased an iPhone 3 and had photos on it. Started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. Moved photos to back up on iCloud. did not restore new phone from back up how can i save the new photos and retrieve the old ones?

I purchased an iPhone 3 and had taken some photos on it. I started having issues within 30 days and could replace it. So I created an iCloud account and saved those photos as a back up on iCloud. I did not restore my new phone from back up because I did not realize I needed to restore and not just activitate it. How can I save the new photos, apps, and other stuff but retrieve the old photos?

If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone. If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes. The process would look like this:
Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup. Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

Hi All. My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

Hi All,
I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
Thanks Again,
Scott P.

Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
Why would I buy yours?
I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

I have an iPhone 6. For the first two weeks my bluetooth worked fine but then started having issues. Now, although it shows that it is connected to Bluetooth, I can't hear any of the calls. The radio continues to play. Please help!

Hello there, Srushevics.
It sounds like you may be having issues with the connectivity of your iPhone with the Bluetooth in your vehicle. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting that Bluetooth connectivity with your iOS device:
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
To resolve the issue, you'll need to first sign in to iCloud and review your devices:
Sign in to iCloud on your iOS devices and Macs with OS X Yosemite (available this fall).
On one of your devices, tap Settings > Bluetooth and look under My Devices. You'll see all devices that are connected to Bluetooth, but make sure that you see your Apple devices that are signed in to iCloud and are using iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite.
Sign out of your iCloud account from any devices that you don't want to use. To sign out of iCloud on an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out.
Then, remove any inactive devices from iCloud:
Sign in to iCloud.com.
Select Find My iPhone.
Select any devices that aren't active anymore.
Wait for Find My iPhone to stop trying to find the inactive device.
You should see the option to remove this device from your account. Select it to remove the device.
After following the steps above, restart the device with the issue. Then try to use it with your Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Narrow down start up issue need experienced/knowledgeble Mac Expert

Hi,
I have spoken with two level 2 mac specialists and both have concluded that I am having a 3rd party software issue with my Mac Pro 3.0. The issue is it takes 5 minutes for my Mac to boot up from start up/restart. Here is my question; in OS9 to narrow down an issue I could simply drag an Extension on to the desktop and restart to see if the issue continued. Since this issue that I am having is a 3rd party conflict in start up is there a way to remove or 'disable' 3rd party software so basically the system thinks it's not there so I can narrow this issue down to who is the problem child? I really don't want to trash all my 3rd party software to figure this out.
I have recently done a Archive and Install from the install CD 10.5 and the start up was fine. Then when I update to 10.5.4 or 10.5.5 the long start up issue is back. So I am concluding that something is not 10.5+ compatible.
Look forward to someone knowing the answer to my question.
Thanks.

Hi Francine thanks for your input. If I'm not mistaken the Shift key is 'Safe Mode' and that is great but I need to either remove one 3rd party software package at a time or be able to add one at a time until I find the ugly step child. And I don't think Safe Mode will allow that.
I did try the Verbose mode which was pretty cool to see however once it kicks on the video card and goes to the blue screen that is the transition screen after the Apple and before the desktop I lose the verbose read out and at the blue screen is where it hangs for 4 minutes. So unfortunately that didn't work. I really need to know if I can take out a key 'Component' from a specific folder that will not allow a 3rd party to register and then if it's not it simply place it back in the folder and that software is back in business. I am amazed that with today's technology first, that the computer doesn't tell you what the issue is and second that no one has come up with a way to trouble shoot when things do go as planned. Sigh. Any other recommendations? Anyone....Bueller....Bueller?

I am having start up issues after installing lion

after installing lion on my mac mini it is having major start up issues, sometimes it will not start up at all. Is anyone having the same issues?

After I used MIgration Assistant on my new Mac Mini, Lion would have kernel panics shortly after startup every time. I am pretty sure it was some virus software or network filterting software that ran background tasks that was causing the problem.
Can you startup in single user mode or safe mode?

Macbook Pro start up issue

I have a problem with a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 8gb ram, 500mb hard drive, Mavericks. The problem started when I loaded up about 100 tabs in Chrome for a long airplane ride.
It crashed and would book up to the flashing folder. My speculation is that I filled up the swap file and a memory leak or swap overflow corrupted the MBR. I was able to boot from the Internet recovery and verified my MacOS 10.9.1 partition, and all was well, but it would not reboot.
I was (and am) able to boot MacOS 10.7.1 (from a 2008 white Macbook) from an external USB drive. I did a lot of thrashing (multiple power off resets, etc), and sometimes was able to see the internal 500mb drive, and sometimes not. I tried to change the partition size to rewrite a new MBR (found this in a forum via Google) but the repartition failed.
Eventually I figured out to reset the boot using Startup disk. I thought all was well. I was able to do a poweroff reboot successfully. I relaunched chrome, it loaded ALL the tabs and crashed again. I worked through and was able to reset the boot disk again. Unfortunately it is not reliable, it still hangs and sometimes does not find the disk. Sometimes I can’t launch Internet recovery to launch.
I have a good time machine backup. (about 400mb). I have an external 320gb drive with 10.7.1 loaded from a white macbook. I have another external drive with 10.6 from a 2009 MBP, and a copy of 10.9.1 copied onto a SD Card.
Any suggestions on the root cause of the problem? Is it just a corrupt hard drive? Could it be a firmware issue? Could it be a hardware issue? If so, disk or motherboard, or ?

There is an option to Load All Windows when restarting an Application. I think it is under the General Tab in System Prefereneces. Un-Check that Option.
But the Flashing ? mark is a sign something else is going on. Just having the OS crash from an overload of an Application shouldn't then produce that ? mark alert.

Having start up issues - unsure if software or hardware

Hello.
in February, I bought a reburbished 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Starting from Sunday, it began delaying start up. Today was a lot longer than usual. So I knew there was an issue. I shut it down, and tried to access Safe Mode by holding down the shift key. It ends up taking longer, after a minute and 20 seconds the apple logo starts up and then login screen. So it ignores my safe mode request. I log in, and suddenly the screen fliickers with white stripes running down. Similar to what VHS tapes do or when you tune the old TV.
I Went onto Disk Utility and tried to see if that could tell me any problems. Kind of pointless as you may of guessed. Then I thought I'd try to use Time Machine. Nothing. Discovered it was turned off. Luckily I use Google Drive so my uni files are backed up.
So I have no idea what to do. New computer, I bought online on Apple website, and because it's refurbished, maybe it's a hardware issue causing the flickering screen. It refuses to go into safe mode, and I don't think reinstalling does anything.
Does anyone know if it's hardware or software? Can I contact apple support via email instead? Or do I have to call them?
THanks.

You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

BI Starting Services Issue in OBIEE 11g

Hi,

Because of the above error web login Page (http://masood:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1) is not displayed and its showed an error below
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
But the Console admin Page (http://masood:7001/console/login/LoginForm.jsp) and Map viewer admin Page (http://masood.:9704/mapviewer) working fine.
Only the sample reports and Dashboards Area are not displayed. I have tried to find out the solution of this issue but i am not getting the right solution.
If any one knows that whats the reason behind this issue, so Please help me. I will be very thankful, Thanks.

Hi,
I experienced the same problem, the exact errors you got. After much digging, i discovered that my database was not registering with the listener, so i could not connect to it from SQLDeveloper and other tools. After spending much time on the internet trying to solve the error "*ora-12154 tns could not resolve the connect identifier specified*" which was what SQLDeveloper was returning, the problem still persisted.
A colleague of mine then gave told me to try and force my database to register with the correct listener from command line with these commands:
net start OracleServiceDB1
C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\oradim.exe -startup -SID DB1 -usrpwd password -pfile C:\oracle\admin\DB1\pfile\init.ora
It turned out that my windows events were full, so i had to clear all events and increased the log size and made sure they are overwritten as needed. And alas, everything was fine again!!!
What a nightmare it was - or may be it was Windows to blame!!! I hope this helps somebody out there sometime.
Obviously, you need to change the paths and other parameters to suite your system. OracleServiceDB1 is the name of my service and DB1 is the name of my database. By the way , i ran it on a Windows XP machine.
Cheers

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC power on/start windows issue

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC, Windows 7 Pro. When powered on (using the power switch), the blue power light and amber hard drive lights on the front illuminate, but monitor shows no signal and the keyboard lights do not come on. F10 on the keyboard doesn't bring anything up on the screen either. Sounds like there is hard drive activity, but the amber light does not flash. If I put a bootable dvd in the drive, it appears to read the dvd, but does not boot from it (nothing appears on the monitor.) Monitor, keyboard and mouse have been verified operational. Hard drive data appears to be intact and have verified 12v and 5v operational from power supply. Haven't found a place to verify 3v power. Depressing the power switch does not turn the computer off, only way is to unplug the power cord. This sympton happened a couple of weeks ago, but after several power cycles, it booted fine and worked for a while. Not this time, though.

HI JIMINFL:
How was your weekend, I hope it was super!
I understand that when you boot up, you get a blank screen. You also said that you know the keyboard, mouse and monitor are working. I am sending you a link to a document on "Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer" click here. I am also sending "HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI" click here to test for hardware failures. Please let me know the outcome.
