Thanks a lot
Just want to add that I had to edit grub at start up and add "single" at the end of the kernel line.
The reason is that switching to runlevel 3 didn't work for me.

Installed new hard drive in imac and i get folder with question mark, put in OS install disk and it does nothing? All I have is wireless key board and mouse, is this a factor?

Other than put disc in you don't give much info about what you've done. With the install disc inserted restart your Mac while holding the C key, that should start it up from the install disc. Should also work fine with a wireless Apple keyboard.

Key board and mouse don't function, key board and mouse don't function

my laptop does not respond to the mouse or key board , i dont know how to solve my problem.If anyone knows hot to fix it let me know.It fuctions when i put a usb keyboard and mouse...

I´m having the same problem. The mouse is the most problematic issue. The keyboar fails after working a while. The mouse sometimes loks up after a while, sometimes, it starts locked Up. I´ve tried to use a mouse driver under DOS, but it sometimes works, sometimes not (tried changing the mouse of course, same thing).

Discoverable key board and mouse

Hello,
My new computer starts the day unable to find mouse or key board.
I find it to be a stupid computer, every time I
check my email on my website it says the site is unknown and has no security, I asked the web hosting company and it says Mac has a problem, not them.
I don't really care if Mac routes everything through various national spy agencies but I would like to avoid plugging and unplugging the mouse and keyboard several times per day.
Thanks
Garrett

I have discovered a detail which may be helpful.
1) I plugged the mouse into a usb port on the computer and it always works.
2) With this expanded ability I can force quite the searching for a wireless keyboard set up window.
Then everything is okay.
Garrett
PS > Just closing the window does not do it, a restart is required before doing #2, this is of course easy with a functioning mouse.

I upgraded to lion. and now I lost my bluetooth for my key board and mouse. what can i do?

I uploaded Lion. now I lost my bluetooth. can's sink my mouse or key board. what can I do?

You have Office 2004 or earlier, which won't work in Lion. To run Office in Lion you'll have to upgrade to the current version.

Not Start up, Key board and Mouse not WORKING

I have Pavilion G7-2017us Notebook and it has Windows 7 operation system. Symptom: Start the computer, go through to the windowns log-in page, but Keyboard and mouse are frozen, not WORKING. Can't log in.
force Poweroff computer and use ESC, F9 can go to system diagnose page, keyboard and mouse are WORKING now. Tried "Start-up test",
Processor Check,Memory Test, Hard Disk SMART Check are Passed. Only Hard Disk Short DST is failed. Failure ID : GLMP00-69B7NV-MFPX1G-60SJ03
So Start-up test is FAILED. Tried "System Tune-up", Processor Check,Hard Disk SMART Check are Passed. Only Hard Disk Short DST is failed.
Failure ID : GLMP00-69B7NV-MFPX1G-60SJ03.So System Tune-up Is FAILED. Tried "Hard Disk Test", Hard Disk SMART Check is Passed and Only Hard Disk Short DST is failed.Failure ID : GLMP00-69B7NV-MFPX1G-60SJ03.
So Hard Disk Test Is FAILED. When I performed above test, keyboard and mouse were WORKING properly. Tried Safe mode, but can not log-in because keyboard and mouse are not working at that time. I cared about documents and was able to copy some files to external harddisk under DOS command interface. But right now I can not adjust
this laptop back to normal DOS from safe mode log-in. When I started up it. it goes through to log-in page in Safe mode. Also F11 is not
working because I did not make system recovery point and it can not be recoveried. Please help me for this issue. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Visruth. When you said the failure ID indicates failling or failed HDD, do you mean that the old HDD is bad and probably all the data on it will be lost ? Yes, in order to salvage data from the old HDD, I have tried to buy an external enclosure and take that harddrive out to make an external hard drive. Connect it through USB , but the new laptop can not recognize it and I can see this external hard drive shown in the device manager, but I can not see more detailed information of that drive. Click it and it asks that do you want to format that drive? So I would like to salvage data from the old HDD. I have been able to enter into DOS command in the old laptop and copied all data on my desktop in C drive. But right now I have forced this old laptop to run into safe mode, which I think maybe I have a chance. But keyboard and mouse are still frozen at log-in page. I do not know how to get back to DOS command as I did before. If I can go back to DOS command, I may use DOS Xcopy to copy out all my data in the old HDD to new external drive. Would you please show me how to get back to DOS command from safe mode log in? I have tried F8, F9. no success. Another way I am thinking is that to take the old HDD as an external drive, connect to a new laptop, change that new laptop's start up sequence, put the USB external drive start up as the first choice. I really do not know why my keyboard and mouse in the old laoptop do not work at some time (log-in page). Please let me know your advice. Thank you very much.

Key board and mouse issues

Every time I use the numbers on my keyboard (on the right) it doesn't work and it also freezes the mouse so i have to disconnect the mouse and restart.I have looked in settings and a few other things,I must of accidentally hit a key to initiate this,does anyone know how to fix this to have use of the numbers keyboard? also,my mighty mouse breaks so often that I had to buy a $12 one.Even though I clean it many times with alcohol,just got tired of how sensitive it is,anyone else have this problem?

Are you sure that your hardware problem is related to this thread dedicated to the program named Pages ?
My guess is that it would be more efficient to ask in one of the hardware related forum.
But it's only my advice

Problems with Key board and mouse

Ok, right now I have my mouse connected through my keyboard. And A: My mouse scroll button won't scroll down anymore. There use to be an audible clicking when it did, and now it doesn't even make that click.
But the annoying thing is the keyboard. Every so often (sometimes more frequently than I'd like to deal with) my keyboard goes batty and decides it's going to act like it's holding down the enter key and won't stop. It makes posting blogs and etc very difficult. because I have to spend time correcting it, at which point it starts to do it again. Has anyone else experienced this, an/or found a way to fix it?

I have this problem occasionally.
Sometimes something as simple as using a different USB port helps.
best wishes

Key board and track pad not working

Ok, My situation is similar to some of the other things posted but not quite.
I tried to wake my computer up from sleep the other day and it wouldn't "wake up" so I did a hard shut down and restart. When it restarted the key board and track pad did not work. The caps lock light wouldn't come on or anything. I tried connecting a usb apple keyboard and mouse and those didn't work either.
When switching to windows in bootcamp, everything works. So... I guess that means it's a software thing.
I called Apple support and we did all the possible key combinations and restarts possible and it came down to this: I need to archive install tiger again, then install all of the updates, then install leopard back on (I don't have leopard disk because it was a family pack and im at college). My roomate's macbook (White, bought in aug 2008) install disks which are 10.5.2 do not work with my computer.
My question is: Is this really the correct solution to my problem? Will archiving and installing tiger then leopard affect my files? I haven't backed up using time machine in a month, so is there a way to backup through osx with my keyboard and trackpad not working or can I do a good back up through my windows partition in bootcamp? Any more tips? Thanks, this has never happened before and I guess I'm a little clueless.

Do you have access to another Mac? If so, possibly you could use Firewire Target Disk Mode to access your drive and do a current Time Machine backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Since you have a family pack of Leopard at home, possibly you could have someone burn a safety copy of it and send it to you so that you can reinstall Leopard. Once you have the OS installed and brought up to date, you could even restore from Time Machine if you had to.
Since we don't know all the steps you took, it's hard for any of us to say if this is the right solution. Evidently the Apple tech came to the conclusion that your software had become corrupted, and this could well be the case, since everything works on the Windows partition. Hence the suggestion to reinstall the OS.
I think you need to get a copy of the Leopard disc so that you can bring your OS completely up to date. I'm not sure of the logistics of doing an Archive and Install with both Tiger and Leopard, especially if much of your work has been done on Leopard. I'm not even sure if it's necessary to reinstall Tiger--it might be better to just reinstall Leopard using Archive and Install.
It's always a good idea to have a good up to date backup like Time Machine before attempting an Archive and Install, because things can go wrong. If they do, you may end up having to do an erase and install. If that happens, you can restore from your Time Machine backup.
I think what you should do is to get a copy of your Leopard disc, and then boot from it and try to do the Archive and Install. Navigate to Disk Utility first and verify both permissions and the disk and repair if necessary. Then proceed with the Archive and Install. Once you're done, run all the updates. Then go to Disk Utility and repair permissions.
Good luck!

Frozen and still frozen after reboot

Macbook Airs frozen and still frozen after reboot?

Greetings Ging ging,
It seems your MacBook Air is frozen and is not responding after starting up. You may want to consider performing a PRAM reset, which may help you get your device back up and running:
OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM
If your Mac doesn’t seem to be remembering your speaker volume, display resolution, or the disk it should be using during startup, you may need to reset your computer’s PRAM.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
Important: To print these instructions, click the Share button in the Help window, then choose Print.
Choose Apple menu > Shut Down.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting your computer’s PRAM, you may need to update your speaker volume, display resolution, and startup disk preferences. For more information about PRAM, see the Apple Support article About NVRAM and PRAM.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Bobby_D

My key board is not working after my cat sat on it plus I have a small long flashing box

MY cat sat on my key board during working on a program which adds your signature and now even though I can sign in to my computer with out any problem once into any of my programs I can not type more than one or two letters with pressing very hard. On the key board and also trying at least 2/3 times.
PLus I have a long narrow flashing black box which may have been part of the program for adding my signed signature which seems to be stopping me doing a great deal. I can not get remove this box plus I can not remember the program I was using when the problem happen. I have tied a restore to a early point of time without any success
help Sandra

sandra frombeaconsfield,
Try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself.
You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
You May also try a safe mode boot, power off the the MBP, Power it back up holding the shift key, hold the shift key till you see the progress bar, then release, allow to finish booting,(note this will take longer than a normal boot) check around, then logout and shut down and boot normally. (this can sometimes fix little problems.
If no joy, take it in to an Apple Genius bar for evaluation, it's free, your furry little friend may have caused some hardware damage, the fact that you have to press hard for it to repond is what me think this.
Best of luck

File sharing between Mac Mini and iMac "breaks" after reboot of either device, and won't restore. Why? Running Maverick 10.9.1 on both. File sharing is setup on both. Help.

I'm a new user - recent convert from longtime Windows to Apple. Thought having desktops and computing aligned with phones and tablets would help. Not so far.
I have a MacMini running Mavericks 10.9.1, and an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1. File Sharing is set up on both. If either device is rebooted for any reason, file sharing from the Mac Mini to the iMac "breaks" and will not easily restart. Various things eventually brings the connection back - usually having to do with checking and unchecking File Sharing, the AFP button, and/or the SMB button on the iMac - but never the same procedure twice in a row. File Sharing from the iMac to the Mac Mini is never disrupted - always comes back up without a problem. Screen Sharing also works between both without fail, and comes up after reboot of either. No problem there. Only difficulty is from Mac Mini to the iMac.
Why? Any ideas?

Should also clarify - usually takes multiple hours of checking/unchecking file sharing settings in order to restore the share between Mac Mini and iMac. NEVER happens automatically.
This is disruptive because I've got the Mac Mini pointing to several file locations on the iMac for various things - photos, music, etc. - and they all hang up unless the share is restored. Real bummer.
