Lion won't start after FileVault initial reboot

Im on a 17" MacBook pro (not i7) with the latest version of lion. I decided to try FileVault, turned it on and set it up as per the on screen instructions. It then asked to rebook which I did. It came to the login screen again after reboot and I put in my password and it wen to a whitish screen with a small grey "no entry" symbol and a spinning wheel below that. Stayed like that for half an hour so I force restarted as I understood it was meant to encrypt in the background) and it did the same thing. Any ideas anyone?

It seems that my partition table is corrupted. The question now is. How to fix it?

Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) won't start After Effects CS5.5 because it's a powerpc app!?

I've had CS 5.5 Master Collection installed on my Mac since it came out. All the CS 5/5.5 apps I've used up to now have worked fine, in 64-bit mode (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat Pro, InDesign). Now I need to use After Effects, but I can't get it to start.
First it said it couldn't rename a Workspaces.xml file in the preferences directory in my home folder. In fact, there was no such file there at all. Nothing to rename. So, I uninstalled After Effects using its uninstaller; then reinstalled it from the install DVDs.
Now, it fails on startup saying the After Effects CS5.5 application cannot be run because PowerPC apps are no longer supported. True: OS X no longer runs apps that require Rosetta. CS 5.5 is does not require Rosetta; it's compatible with Lion. The OS 10.7 Known Issues KB article says nothing about After Effects: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html?promoid=JBQYY
So...what's going on? I need this thing working for a project with a deadline! I don't get it. Anybody seen this before? (I didn't find anything in the discussions about it, nor Google...)

Interesting article, but I knew I was leaving PowerPC apps behind when I moved to OS 10.7, and Adobe claims that After Effects CS 5.5 is fully compatible with Lion. But you must be right about prefs; there's gotta be something causing the Mac OS to think this version of CS is ancient...
Since my initial message, I've tried and failed to find any details about how to select the right prefs to delete. I also ran Disk Utility to repair permissions on my system drive. That got rid of the PowerPC error:) Now on startup AE says mediacore fails to initialize. I can choose to quit or continue on that error, but continuing just results in another error that says dynamiclinkmanager unexpectedly quit, and then AE locks up and I have to force quit it. Not much progress!
No other answers on this so far... Before I uninstall the entire Creative Suite and then delete all Adobe system and hidden files everywhere, any more suggestions? Or a list of the right prefs I should trash?

VMs won't start after updates and reboot.

I need some help.
I installed the November 2014 MS updates last night. I installed them on my lab Hyper-V box. The Hyper-V box is joined to a domain but is not a domain controller. It is Server 2012R2 with Hyper-V with all previous patches applied. I had two VMs configured
on the box. The VMs were a 2012R2 server and a Windows 8.1 box. Both were running fine. In fact I shut them down before I did the Microsoft Updates on the server.
The issue I describe below was not present until I did the updates and rebooted. The server and the associated VMs had been running fine for months. These updates are the ones that my SUS server provided to this server.
After I rebooted the server I could not restart either VM. I kept getting the same error that is listed below. I tried DELETING the VM from Hyper-V manager and then building a new VM and using the old vhdx. Again NO LUCK. I even tried CREATING a new VM and
I got the same problem.
(Additional Note: I appeared as though I was able to delete the VM from Hyper-V Manager. Hyper-V Manager displayed 'Destroying....' for some period of time and then the VM was removed from Hyper-V Manager. However, recreating the VM did not solve the problem.)
Each time I get the following error displayed on screen.
'Unnamed VM' could not intiialize.
An attempt to read or update virtual machine configuration failed
'Unnamed VM' could not initialize (Virtual Machine ID)
'Unnamed VM' could not read or update virtual machine configuration: Ran out of memory (0x8007000E) Virtual machine ID B9xxxxxxxxxxxx
=======================
I adjusted permissions on the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V folder. Opened it up to "Authenticated Users" based on a couple of TechNet articles that I found. NO luck
In the Hyper-V Config log I get the following entry,
The configuration store at'' is not accessible Unspecified error(0x80004005)
==========================
I also had these errors in the Windows Application log.
ID=1000 Source=Application Error Type=1 Message=Faulting application name: vmwp.exe, version: 6.3.9600.17334, time stamp: 0x5407c751

OK,,so I solved this issue by removing the Hyper-V role and then readding the role. The permissions of C:\Programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V
and C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V definetly changed
as a result of re-adding the role.
All required updates (as supplied by WSUS) are applied also.

Lion won't start after EFI update

I installed the new EFI update for my MBA Mid 2011 (the software updater said it is recomended). The update went fine and restarted the mac afterwards.
Then while booting the apple logo turns to a grey forbidden sign and nothing happens from there. I turned the mac off and tried again. Same thing.
Then I booted the recovery partition and tried to repair my disk. It says that it can't repair the disk because it is corrupted.
Please don't tell me I have to erase the disk. There is some unbackuped data on it and I can't get it out using a linux-live because my disk is encrypted.

It seems that my partition table is corrupted. The question now is. How to fix it?

Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

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 page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Mac Mini won't start after installing OS X 10.6.3

My Mac Mini won't start after installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. When I turn it on, the Apple logo appears and the initialization line starts to fill, but it suddenly stops. It does that again and stops at the same point, but this time it shuts down. What should I do?

If you are coming from 10.5.8, hopefully you backed up your important data first. Your mini will need at minimum, 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard and at least 5 GB of storage remaining on your boot drive.
I treat 10.6.3 as a fresh, full install over a 10.5.8 system. That means I choose Disk Utility from the Installer's menu and repartition the boot drive as a single partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format, and use the GUID partition scheme from the options button. At this point, while still in Disk Utility, I would verify the drive under First Aid.
Then I turn the installer loose, and reboot into a working 10.6.3 system, ready for the software updates that take the machine to 10.6.8.
So, following the above guidelines, reinstall 10.6.3.

C3-01 won't start after charging

I'm so angry right now but I will try and be cool about this!
I bought C3-01 mobile phone about four months ago and it is already causing me problems.
The mobile phone simply won’t start after charging. Last time i charged it, it miraculously came to life only, and only after annoying me for about hour and a half. Now I fear it is completely dead!
Battery was not completely empty so the phone should still start even if the wall socket is broken. Which is not, wall socket works perfectly.
Nothing helps! I tried removing the battery and then restart. Removing the battery then removing the sim card, memory card and that piece of “advanced technology” simply won’t start!
I didn’t buy my new phone so that I can use my old Motorola mobile, which btw., still works after 4 years of intense usage.
I will never buy Nokia again!

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your phone is not starting after charging.
I would suggest one more thing, which maybe helps. If you have another battery, please try.
If not, i would recommend to visit Nokia Care Point in your area.
To find your nearest Nokia Care Point, visit http://www.nokia.com/support and select the Repair page.

Firefox won't start after google chrome imported all data(bookmarks,passwords,history,etc) from firefox

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Assistant NET8 and DBCA won't start after installation HELP

HEllo,
I've installed oracle 9.01 and later on 8.1.7 i cannot use the assistants net 8 and dbca after installation. Does anybody have the same problem. I think is has something to do with jre versions.
I alse got the same problem when i installed db9.0 and oracle appserver 1.2.2.2 on the same machine. SOme config assistant won't start after install.
ALready tnx.
Francus

Hello, yogendra k saini
I'd installed oracle90 and 1.2.2 in different oracle homes. There was no error message. When i pressed the icon. Nothing happens.
Yesterday i installed also a 8.1.7 database on the same machine as the 9.0.1.4 database. After a reinstallation of appserv 1.2.2a everything seems to work fine.
but it is still a mystery for me why, because when i only install a 9.0.1.4 database and appserv 1.2.2.2 something goes wrong. Maybe APpserv 1.2.2. doesn't work fine with 9.0 database. That's not exactly true because i used appserv 1.2.2 for forms en reports...
