Leopard failing to fully start up.

*Don't install if you use Suitcase.*
I think I have come across an issue for anyone using Suitcase.
After installing Leopard my system appears to hang when trying to start up the last stage. The icons don't appear however, the finder bar and the dock shows (but with limited activity). Because the disk was also running I gave it time to see if anything happens. After ten minutes I gave up.
I have been on the phone to Apple for more than two hours and they seem to think it's the preferences. I am edging my bet towards an incompatible issue with a third-party program running in the background.
It has become apparent that Suitcase icon in the dock has disappeared. On investigation Extensis say to disabled font auto activation in Font Book preferences as this would clash with Suitcase auto activation. Well I would do if I could get access to my desktop!
Now, I also have a MacBook - beautiful installation and no problems. But there again I haven't got Suitcase in this system.
After battling with it for nine hours so I am reverting back to 10.4 as I have work to do!
Is anyone else having similar issues?

Computer wont fully start/Windows will not load

I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905, and was having a few issues with it. I read on the Toshiba Product Support how to restore my laptop to the 'out of box state'. While doing this it encountered an error and shut down, I saw people saying that this was due to a hard drive issue and that it needed to be replaced. I replaced the hard drive, and still have no luck getting my computer to fully start up. I tired to install Windows Vista Ultimate, and everything was going fine until the last step where it froze and shut down. Now when I start up my computer it says "Windows failed to start" and gives me all the start up options. When I select 'Start Windows Normally" it goes to the screen with the green loading bar that says "Microsoft Corporation" underneath it, and will go no further. When I select Safe Mode, it stops and hangs after it loads windows\system32\crcdisk.sys and will go no further. Any assistance will me much, much, much appreciated, thank you!

Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. If you don't have the discs, obtain them from Toshiba.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
I replaced the hard drive
Please give us the full make and model of the drive you used. (Some with advanced-format technology are troublesome.)

17 inch iMac G5 wont fully start-up.

Hi. Having trouble getting my G5 iMac(OS 10.4)(non-isight) to fully start-up. For about the last week Ive noticed that Ive been increasingly finding that sometimes when I click on something.....ie...a webpage or link, etc......I get the colored spinning ball.......I then shut down by pressing the start button and restart.Yesterday when I started it up......it would not fully boot to my Log-in screen or desktop. It gets past the grey screen with the Apple Logo to a solid blue screen where I can move the mouse around.......but not to the Log-in screen.
Ive tried unplugging all cables except keyboard.
Ive tried inserting my OS 10.2 install CD and holding down the C key.......but it only brings up the blue screen again.
Ive tried resetting the PRAM........but same results.
Any ideas on what the problem is or what I should try next. (Note:I also have an iMac G3 if that can be used at all with TDM).Im not too Tech savvy......so would appreciate clear instructions. Thanks for any help.

Before I mark this thread as solved.........just wondering if you could tell me what "Invalid Volume Header" means and if you know why this problem occurred?......so I can try to avoid a repeat in the future.Thanks
I don't know the exact meaning of +Invalid Volume Header+; I know this is vague -- I just don't know enough about this and maybe someone else will be able to explain it -- but it means there was directory corruption on the drive. I'm also not sure what might have caused it. It might be the drive is on the way out. If DU was able to repair it, then it probably wasn't that serious, or if it recurs, it might mean some underlying problem with the drive itself. The Hardware Test is notorious for being forgiving. If it's original, the drive is at least five years old and that's when things may start to go wrong with drives. Of course, some last much longer and some have problems almost right away.
There is this utility that may do a better diagnosis of the condition of the drive.
http://www.volitans-software.com/
Here is a Discussions thread that raises some questions about that report from DU.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1879222
What I do know is that if you don't already have a backup, preferably a bootable clone, then you should make sure you have one ASAP.
And one more thing. How much free space do you have on the drive? You need to maintain around 15% of capacity free.

Why does a BPM Process fail at the Start Activity?

Hello All,
We're currently working on a Dev environement (WLS 10.3), where we're experiencing issues with BPM Processes that fail at the start node. The error observed is a "Null Pointer Exception" despite there definteily being parameters passed into the process.
I've observed the trace in the EM after invoking the process and notice that the process fails as soon as it enters the start activity.
One of the possible explanations could be an out of memory issue. Has anyone experienced this before?
BPM : SOA Suite 11g.
Thank you.

If you have memory - issues, you should look at the Weblogic-logs.

Hello. I keep my IPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled). Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Howtoresolve?

Hello. I keep my iPhoto library (about 90GB) on an external HD and am trying to back it up to another external drive. Both are formatted Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) and both check out when scanned with Disk Utility. Recently, backup has failed from the start due to error 36. Any ideas how to resolve? Also, what's the maximum recommended size for an iPhoto library file? Thx!

Since you can't drag the library to the other EHD for the backup see if you can duplicate it (if you have enough room on the drive) by selecting it and typing Command+d (duplicate).
If you do rebuild the library without a backup and it goes awry you won't lose your photos but you may lose your orgnaizational efforts. So try the following:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library in the location of your choosing based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
NOTE: Fix 2 above might be the method you might want to try first with iPLM creating the new library on your second EHD. If it works that would get your backup copy on the second EHD at the same time as repairing it. If it does'nt work then go back to Fix 1.

Failed to send start signal for complete cluster, SLD may still be stopped.

Hello,
I am trying to create technical systems in the SLD on the portal (http://host:port/sld). It prompts me to start the SLD server by going to Administration.
When I click the button "Start Server" under Administration, I get this following error message:
"Failed to send start signal for complete cluster, SLD may still be stopped on other cluster nodes."
Can you please tell me what has to be done to successfully start the SLD server so that I can go ahead and add technical systems.
Thanks

I followed the wiki, daemon is started. I just don't understand what this error means. Looks to me like it's trying to mount UUID and can't.
opera, firefox, etc work fine if I chroot /opt/arch32. Just schroot fails. Does anyone else have this working at the moment?

I'm not using testing, but have this same error.
Edit...
I removed schroot
pacman -R schroot
Deleted /etc/schroot
Then building schroot with abs seems to have fixed the problem, although I'm not sure what the original problem was.
also, If you're like me and often open programs using a different locale, you need to specify the locale befor the schroot command...
LANG=zh_CN schroot -p firefox
It's a little different than how dchroot works.

How can I 'deactivate' Leopard so I can start as a 'new' computer.

I have currently installed Leopard on my Macbook Pro.
I've had the Macbook Pro about a year and a half now, and the hard-drive space is just disappearing it seems.
I have Leopard Family Pack, and I want to completely just 'start-over' my computer and install Leopard, like a fresh start. The only data I REALLY need is all iTunes media, etc. I can get that all on my external HD no problem.
I want to just start over and get back the 120gb that disappeared.
My main question is, how do I 'deactivate Leopard' (and iLife 08') so that when I reinstall it, it doesnt install as a fourth computer, but rather replaces an old license.
And as far as things such as my iPhone go, when I reinstall everything, will the iPhone act normally, or is this a tedious thing that will have to be completely re-set up with my computer?
Thanks.
Nick

Nick,
What Windows refers to as a "clean install", Apple refers to as an "Erase and Install." You can type "Erase and Install" in the search discussions 'window' and you'll get lots of hits. Or you can go to this page, and search for "erase and install" from the support site:
http://www.apple.com/support/
If you decide you want to do an Erase and Install, after you reboot from your install disk, one of the three options is "erase and install." It will start you over clean on your computer. All your data/files will be gone also, so you might want to consider doing a backup of any files you desire to keep.
If your whole reason for doing an erase and install is trying to recover that 120 Gb of lost HD space, it might be worth a little of your time to try to figure out where the space actually went.
There is a useful utility (free) called WhatSize, that will list all the contents of your HD and sort that list by size. It may be able to show you where your HD space has gone (perhaps an invisible file, or maybe you have been doing some video editing, and there is a huge cache file sitting on your HD somewhere). WhatSize can be found here:
http://www.id-design.com/software/index.php
If WhatSize doesn't locate your missing space, there are a couple of commands in Terminal that can be used to see if a Volume you're not aware of, might have been created on your HD (this could eat up a lot of space). If you want to visit that option let me know.

Leopard failing to detect my apple keyboard

i recently bought an usb apple keyboard (the flat one).
but whenever i plug it in for the first time, leopard fails to activate it.
when i unplug it and plug it back in it'll work.
i already developed a habit to plug it in-out-in-out-in before i dare to press a key.
is there anything i can do to fix it?

must've been fixed long ago in some update, haven't experienced this issue in months

IBook wont fully start up

My iBook wont fully start up. It started to freeze about three days ago, my only way of unfreezing it was to shut it down with the power button. Someone recommend that I boot it back up by pressing shift when it turned on. I did that and it worked. However, I soon found out that by doing that I disabled my airport, sound, and iTunes. So i went and restarted my computer using the Mac 10.3X software already on my computer. That worked for a while but then my computer began to freeze again. I switched it off and now it won't fully turn on. At first it just made whirring noises, but after a while it would go to the grey screen with the apple and pinwheel. The screen then goes blue... and stays that way. I tried starting it up normally and i also tried starting it up with the boot again. Neither worked. Please please help me. I am a student and i can't function without a computer! Thanx

Hey Alex,
Try pulling your Airport card and see if that changes anything.
Then try safe mode:

other wise try booting into you CD/DVD OS installer and check the hard drive.

I was using my 17inch MacBook Pro with no problems, shut the computer without turning it off, and when I reopened it it wouldn't wake up. I forced it to shut down by holding the power button, and now it won't fully start up. I press the power button, the sleep indicator light comes on, there's a few disk noises, but no fan or chime, and the screen never turns on.
I have tried booting in safe mode, smc reset, and pmu reset and none seem to have done anythin

Sounds like hard drive failure or your new logic board.

Failed Leopard Install not cant start MacBookPro

Having just tried to install 10.5 from an install disk, the install failed (not sure why, but that's another question). Having exited out of the install, I can't restart into 10.4 - at the boot page (grey apple logo with timer thingy) the boot just hangs and then shuts down.
Any ideas how to kick it off again for a second try?
Cheers!

Archive and Install, When you boot back to Leopard and its asks where to install select the HD and then click options on the same page. There you select Archive and Install and saving preferences. Good Luck to ya
