Leopard causes Terminal to load on startup - Please help!

Hello all,
I just registered with the forum here hoping someone could help me figure out what is going on with my MacBook Pro after I installed Leopard. After the machine has started up the Terminal app will open a window with the following text in it:
Last login: Sat Oct 27 21:02:27 on console
MacBook-Pro:~ Drew$ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SyncServicesUI.framework/Versions/A/SyncServi cesUI ; exit;
-bash: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SyncServicesUI.framework/Versions/A/SyncServi cesUI: cannot execute binary file
logout
[Process completed]
Also, there is a TextEdit window open with the header "HP Communications" but nothing is in it.
Neither of these things happened prior to the install while running 10.4 Does anyone have any suggestions that could help. I can close them after startup but it is an issue I want to correct.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm also using a MacBook Pro, and when I startup Leopard, the Terminal application loads with the following window:
Last login: Tue Oct 30 08:19:58 on console
/Library/StartupItems/HP\ Trap\ Monitor/HP\ Trap\ Monitor ; exit;
You have new mail.
(my user name is here)ls-computer:~ (my name is here)$ /Library/StartupItems/HP\ Trap\ Monitor/HP\ Trap\ Monitor ; exit;
/Library/StartupItems/HP Trap Monitor/HP Trap Monitor: line 47: $1: unbound variable
logout
[Process completed]
I have no idea what is causing this, and I would like help also. I'll keep looking. Good luck.

  • HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.

    HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8.  Please help me with any suggestions on what to do.  Thank you.  I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard.  The newest ones only work with Lion.  My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari.  This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site.  Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8.  PLEASE HELP ME!!!!  Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me.  I do not know what to do....

    Hi Sue,
    What exactly happens when trying Safari?
    They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
    You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.

  • My MacBook is stuck on the loading screen. Please help! Not sure what to do

    Hi, so my MacBook has stopped working for some reason
    I've just tried switching it on but it has stopped on the loading screen.
    I am scared and not sure what to do.
    Please help!!!

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually 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.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 4
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 7
    Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 8
    This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

  • Hardrive Icon interrupts normal Startup - Please Help

    Tonight upon starting my macbook, instead of the normal startup process it instead stayed at the gray screen and in place of the Apple symbol and the loading icon, there was a picture of the Macintosh HD with the word "Hardrive" under it. I turned the computer off and restarted, it started normally as it has always done. I've had this laptop for a year and a half and it has not done anything like this, it has in fact been the best computer I've had so far. Please help me, these things make me very uneasy and I worry about fixing them.
    PS: I only really found one post with an almost identical case to mine that was posted back in December. Some theories in that thread included loose hardware inside the laptop, or for whatever reason the computer not knowing where to boot up from. I just got done with a 2 hour trip in the car that had a few bumps along the way - could this have caused the problem? Again, hope to hear an answer soon. Thanks for any help.

    No USB keys, no DVD's connected either?
    I recall the OLD OS 6-9 would have a similar situation when a faulty HDD or Mount issue occurred.
    Try to repair the internal HDD with the DVD, or there should be a way to boot-up with no extensions or startup items.

    The root cause is in the error ora-1426, which you can look up in the online error documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com . No one knows every error message by heart. This means it is expected you look up the error prior to posting, and you don't expect any volunteer in this forum to look up the error on your behalf.
    Also this is a typical candidate for being a known problem, and known problems can be found on My Oracle Support.

  • Computer stops after startup, please help!!!

    Hello,
    I am trying to fix my MacBook... but I have been having some difficulties and need some help. Whenever I startup my MacBook Pro it takes about one or two minutes at the gray screen with the apple logo and "spinning loading thing." After that it takes me straight to a black screen where it says nothing, but then "disk0s2: 0xe0030005 (UNDEFINED)." comes on the screen. Then after it says, "-sh: /var/root/.profile: Input/output error" and then it will, after about 3 or 4 of the UNDEFINED lines, say "-sh-2.05b#"
    Could anyone PLEASE help me?
    Thank you very much for reading.

    Try this
    Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
    When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
    fsck -fy
    Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
    If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - run the command again and keep doing so (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
    reboot

  • The App Store is not loading.. Please Help

    Since I bought my mac pro back in 2011, I have never used the app store because it never loads.
    Now I really need it because I trying to download the Yosemite. Below is what I get every time I open the app store on my macbook pro.
    Please help fix this.

    Hi ..
    Several things to try.
    Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, MacKeeper, and anti virus software, can prevent the App Store from loading
    Disable anti virus software if installed
    Check the firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
    Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
    Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
    If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

  • How to Load External Images - Please Help!

    I have created a simple portfolio site. The buttons I created
    trigger separate frames. Could I not create a MC (Movie Clip) on
    each frame where the images now reside and then when the button is
    clicked (On "Click' Goto frame 1) for e.g. then the image would be
    loaded from an external folder named "Images" in my website?
    I am stumped as to how to set this up. Could someone please
    help me?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can do that. Which version of Flash and which

  • HT1386 Trying to Sync - Unable to load data class - please help

    I just cleared my I-Pod Touch to put new music on it and my computer is prompting the following. "I-Tunes was unable to load data class information from sync sevices." Reconnect of try again later. Another prompt that keeps appearing is  "the application apple mobile device help quit unexpectedly." Please help me...

    Apple Mobile Device Restart. Disable all security software ex. Firewalls and Antivirus. Follow article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567  . The above listed article is correct by lllaass. I resolve it by unchecking the different categories in itunes sync pages... Plug in device, click on name on left side of itunes, Click on different sync pages like summary, info, music, movies, etc. You need to uncheck the main check box to sync content. An example would be unchecking "Sync Music" . You will then need to sync once for each category until you locate the source of your corrupt files or folders. Syncing without it checked removes content from device. Follow this step even if there is nothing on the device. Once you identify if it is picture or music etc. you will need to delete corrupt files or move them somewhere else on the computer so itunes can't find it anymore.

  • Mappping to load a flatfile -- Please Help!!!!

    Hi,
    I am new to OWB and trying to create a simple mapping to load a flat file into a table. My Version of OWB is 9.2.0.2.8 on an Oracle 9i DB. Below is the warning I get when I validate my mapping. When I proceed to generate I get the same warning and when I proceed to deploy it fails with the same error.
    VLD-2398: No data file specified. Generated code will use the sampled file name and the file location 'SOURCE_FILES_MANUAL'.","To specify a data file configure the mapping, add a node under 'Source Data File', type in the file name and select the file location."
    In the above warning,'SOURCE_FILES_MANUAL' is the location I created which corresponds to a physical location on my Hard disk.
    What am I doing different!! Please help.
    Thanks,
    Srinivas.

    hi guys,
    i have the same problem (VLD-2398). this warning doesnt effect the successful deployment of my design - so i can ignore it at first - , but it leads to problems later on, because i think there isn t the valid pointer to the flatfile.
    in the AWM (analytic workspace manager) viewing the data of a dimension, which is filled with data from the flatfile, it gives the error:
    "BIB-9509 The Olap Service did not create cursor.
    oracle.express.ExpressServerExceptionError class: OLAPI
    Server error descriptions:
    DPR: Unable to create server cursor, Generic at
    TxsOqDefinitionManager:... and so on"
    so can anybody please help me.
    i did try to use a external table instead of the flatfile->table mapping, but although the validation is successful, doesnt work. in the external table properties in tab "file" i only see the file name, but couldnt choose the record. maybe this is the prob?
    grateful for any hint.
    greetings
