M57 AHCI mode - does not boot, reset flash not working.

M57 - 6071 CTO
I have changed in BIOS the AHCI mode to native SATA and RAID. The security chip was active before that.
Now, the PC won't start - it stops at the big logo with ThinkCenter (and intel logo on top right).
Pressing ENTER or F1 does not get me back to the BIOS (to change the settings back).
I tried to clear CMOS and still it acts the same.
What do I need to do to get it working again?

I fix it.
To really clear the CMOS, I needed to power up the PC with the jumper on 2-3 position. It beeped one LONG and two SHORT and then I replaced the jumper on the previous position (1-2).

IPhone 4s does not boot and seems not to charge

My iPhone 4S has been charging for 20 hours now (with red bar in the battery on the display), but it will not boot. Also pressing home+hold for 10 seconds (while connected to power) or more does not make it boot.
I have the impression that something is wrong with the part that measures the battery level, since (when it still worked) I sometimes had battery levels dropping to 1% very early after charging, but with the phone still working for over 10 hours after that (so the actual battery charge was much higher than displayed). This problem disappeared and reappeared every now and then. Until now however, I was always able to reboot my phone after a bit of charging - but this seems no longer possible. Recommendations are welcome....

However i can't check settings because the display does not respond, i tried to use three fingers, but nothing happens. It can receive phone calls and notifications, but the display still is not responding so i can't answer phone calls. But now the Led is off.

Macbook Pro will not boot up normally ***Not Normal Problems***

Ok. I have an older 17" Macbook pro 2.33 (10.6 fully updated) that will not boot up in normal mode. When I boot it shows "blocks" of different colors and will not get past the blue screen sometimes. When it does get passed the the blue or grey screen it is a split screen of white back ground with large black blocks seperating the sides. I have tried swapping out harddrives with a known working one with an OSX image on it-no good. I have tried swapping out ram-same thing. I reset the SMC and PRAM-only colors changed in the blocks. I have ran disk utilites disk and permisions with no problems. I can't boot into a restore disk using the c key during boot, It locks up at the same screen. Nothing works except safe mode. I can boot into safe mode and everything works just fine with normal screen and all. Now I tried runing the Lion installer thinking it is and driver issue but I can't get Lion to boot to the hard drive and Snow leopard just reboots back to the same screen. So how can I get Lion to install or Snow Leopard?
What can I do? I noticed this last weekend when I tried to reboot my MB Pro and it started this. Well Apple pushed and update last friday - I needed to restart it again and this happends. I thought it was a logic board at fist until it booted fine in safe mode.

Sorry. What I mean is I selected the SL boot up in the start up panel and it would not boot into the cd. The CD rom sounds like it just keeps reading with it slowly loading from grey screen to blue screen to the Block screen. Almost like it is booting into normal mode from the hard drive.
What I can't understand is why it runs fine is Safe mode?
Also why do I get a " this disk cannot be used to start up your computer" message on my hard drive when trying to install Lion in safe mode? Well why not it's the only hard drive in the computer?
The first screen shot is the Tech tool showing everything passed the hardware test is safe mode.

Can not get adobe flash to work on my computer!

I've downladed adobe flash numerous times on my computer and I can not get it to work. It always says that the download and installation has been completed, but when I go to open e-mails that need the softw the e-mail states that I do not have adobe flash on my computer! I have done the downloading and install on different computers and had no issue, but I can not figure out why it is not working on my coputer. I also removed my anti-virus software just in case that was causing the problem, but I'm still not having any luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I look forward to any advice that anyone may have.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser & version?
What is your installed Flash Player version?
Can you see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F') at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?
What mail client do you use?
And when you state "e-mails that need the softw" - do you mean you receive email messages with embedded Flash content?

Macbook Leopard 10.5 is not booting up and not even getting Verified Error : Invalid Node Structure

Hey, I am using Macbook Leopard 10.5, Yesterday while i was working it was on low battery i thought to connect it later, but all of a suddent its stopped fucntioning and everything goes blank. I thought it might be a Battery problem, but even after connecting charger for 2-3 hours, its not booting up. Only the Apple screen comes and then it goes shut down automatically.
I even tried to fix it using Apple CD, Disk utility, When i tried to Verify the disk It shows following error :
Disk cannot be repaired or verify.
And details : Invalid Node structure
Volume needs to be repaired error : Filesystem verify or repair failed.
I have very important Data on this disk, so i cannot even erase it.
Suggest me somehting. It have enough space to install new OS but System shows you need erase it.
I have tried to use Apple Hardware test by Holding D key, But its not working.

Computer will not boot up. Not even in safe mode.

As of yesterday my Mac book pro will not start up. It will not go past the gray screen with the apple and spinning timer indicator. When I try and start up holding shift to enter safe mode it will not start up either. I have tried turning It on and off many times. I am not sure what to do or what the problem might be. Running OS 10.7.
Any ideas?

The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running 10.7 or later) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. If your startup volume is encrypted with FileVault, you’ll have to unlock it in Disk Utility before you can do anything with it.

OS not booting after flashing BIOS

I have a K7N2 Delta-L , i flashed the bios to version 5.8 , but it showed my prsessor speed as 1350mhz when it should be 1800mhz(Athalon 2200xp+).
The bios flashing utility had asked if i wanted to save my current bios before flashing , so i did.
Since 5.8 didnt work out i thought it prudent to restore the previous bios , but after doing that the computer refusted to boot , it completes the post and detects evrything properly but after that is shows me a blank screen with the cursor flashing , the diagnostic led's show me that it has halted at floppy drive controler initilization.
Now my bios shows verion 5.1 when i think i had 5.4 earlier , i disabled the bios from detecting the floppy drive ,disabled the floppy drive controler and disconnected the folppy drive but it had no effect , i then connectd the floppy drive back and did the bios recovery method described in the manual , but that too had no effect.
Please help me

G4 not booting...not a hard drive issue?

I have another post about this, but something new has been added to the mix.
I've got a last generation power PC mac mini I use in a school environment. I'm looking to get this one working as a new comptuer is not an option. $ and all.
The computer froze up, and after a hard restart, refused to move past the "prohibited sign".
Zapped pram. nope
Tried starting from Tiger install disk. nope
Booted in single user mode, but warning...oof...left the note at school..."waiting for system .....? something" repeated over, and over, and over again.
Didn't work in single user mode.
Connect the damage mini using firewire to a working mini. Checked HD, all good.
Put the Tiger OS install dvd in the host machine, erased and installed the OS on the damaged mac Mini through firewire.
The damaged machine, while connected through firewire, restarted, screen came up using the host machine, set up the system per ususal...all looked good.
Picked the HOST startup disk to reboot. Ejected the firewire connected mini. Disconnected, physically the damaged mini. Shut it down. Then fired it back up.
The damaged Mine still would not get past Apple logo with spinning progress wheel > leading to "prohibited" sign with spinning progress wheel.
During the install of the OS on the damaged machine, I put my ear to the mini and could hear the HD working away.
BUT...the OS did install, and things were good until I asked the damage machine to rely upon its own innards as opposed to that of the host machine.
SO...is it possible then that the HD in the damaged Mini, with the brand new freshly installed OS, is OK and that there is another issue. OR could this still mean that the HD is toast. I'm truly hoping that it is the HD as that is a more easily remedied problem.
The machine is scheduled to be dropped off at a local shop next week.
Fill me with wisdom oh wise ones.
Thanks!

Hi
I wonder whether the problem is related to the Sonnet CPU upgrade. According to their website it's supported by Mac OS X 10.3.5 and higher. It may be that Apple added support for the 7447 G4 variants used in the CPU upgrade in 10.3.5, and earlier versions of Panther simply won't recognise the processors.
If this is the case, I'm not sure what to suggest other than to reinstall the original CPU card, reinstall the OS and upgrade it to 10.3.5 or later via the web and then reinstall the CPU upgrade. Alternatively you could try and get hold of some Panther discs that you knew were 10.3.5 or later.
With Protools and the CPU upgrade, it seems you may be limited to 10.3.5, 10.3.6 or 10.3.7
Did you try updating Panther to 10.3.7 with the hard drive in the other machine before swapping it back?

Z30 not boot: no screen, not led lights, nothing...

Hi,
I can't believe this is happening to me. it's mt 4th blackberry, but something like that never happened before.
I have z30 for a year now.
today, after finished a phone call and starting a new phone call, the phone calls app stop responding. so I decided to restart my phone.
I did a restart (with the menus) and the blackberry stuch on the white blackberry logo. I tried a several times, with charger without charger, I pressed a 5 seconds on the power menu to get it restart over and over and the same result.
after the red light the blackberry white logo appeared on the screen and that's it. I waited an hour, but it's just stuck there.
I didn't install any new apps lately.
so I connected the blackberry to the pc and try with the blackberry link software to do a manufactor reset.
it's failed right at the beginning. It's look like when the red light appear it connected to the pc and when the blackberry logo appear it's disconnected from the pc.
so I thought to make an os upgrade. I just don't care anymore about my data, just to get the phone work again.
so I downloaded a new os version from here and it start ok. detect the blackberry, start to load the image and the about 30% it says "failed to load image" and that's it.
the blackberry now dont even start. no lights when pressing the button, tried to reinstall the os upgrade, nothing....
is my blackberry z30 is dead?
can I do something to fix it? buy a new motherboard or something?
thanks for your help...

My opinion its just a bad luck. Hardware parts can start to malfunction.
My Toshiba notebook has been running since 6 years without any troubles.
My parents bought an notebook from another manufacture. After two days the motherboard died. Simply bad luck it was pity but the dealer replaced the faulty unit and since then it runs ok.
Mostly its not matter what notebook you would purchase. Such issues may happen simply.

Mac OS Not Booting ; Mac Partition not showing

I Bought a 13 inch Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) from United States and currently using it in India. I Installed Win8 using Bootcamp and it was working fine for 2 days. Suddenly One day command key stopped working. Now it directly boots into windows without asking user. Earlier I can access Mac Hard Disk from Windows . But now Mac Alloted Partition has disappeared.
Actually What is the Problem ? How to get back the Mac OS ? Earlier it will show the list to choose when I pressed Alt key repeatedly. But now it directly boots into Windows.
Is it Possible to Get it Exchanged an US Bought Macbook Pro in India ?

Boot Camp doesn't support Windows 8. The consequences of installing it are undefined.
If you've lost the OS X partition, you should boot into Internet Recovery (option-R at startup), repartition the internal drive (erasing all data), reinstall OS X, and transfer your data from a backup.

Adobe Flash only works when I run Firefox in Admin Mode

As the title says, I need to run Firefox in admin mode each time for Adobe Flash to work.
When I do not run it in admin mode, and I visit say Youtube, the box where the flash player should appear flickers and just does not load. The HTML5 version eventually loads instead.
When I visit the adobe flash test page it does not work either. Only when I run in admin mode it works fine.
Problem is I do not want to run Firefox in Admin mode for security reasons each time I use the browser. I have tried reinstalling mozilla, disabling all plugins/extensions, reinstalling adobe flash several times.
I DO NOT have this problem when using Google Chrome.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Skanza

Hi skanza,
Did you try to reset firefox as explained in the following howto [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems here] ?

How's everything going now? Have you tried start up repair as mentioned by the first reply, here are some other advanced boot option you can also have a try:
Try to boot into safe mode.
Try last known good configuration.
You can refer to this link:
