Mac did not start up

I think that over some short time my MAC slowsdown by itself. Today i even couldn't start. Well it startup hopefull but after i logged in only the screen opens with a picture, no internet icons, no active icons and a never ending spinning cursor. What's goning on?

Sounds like failing or failed hardware or it is possible your HD is too full.
BTW this is an iMac forum, your profile indicates you have a Mac Pro. Is that correct, if so please post in the Mac Pro forums.
Good luck.

Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here. The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
Sincerely yours.

When I plug in my iphone5 or iPad into my Mac I get the message iTunes could not connect the service did not start properly on this device

If you are using Windows 7, go to:
Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features
Look for a program called 'Apple Mobile Device Support'
Right-click on it
Click 'repair'
Wait until the repair operation is complete, and voila, your problem should be solved, itunes will recognise your iphone/ipod once more. This worked for me.

Hi,
I have a MBP 13' Late 2011 and Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C1514).
Until yesterday, I was using Garmin ConnectIQ SDK and all was working fine.
Yesterday, I've updated my system with latest security updates and Xcode updates too (Version 6.2 (6C131e)).
Since, I can't launch the ConnectIQ simulator app, I have this message in console :

EyeTV: Mac does not start automatically

Mac does not start automatically for EyeTV recordings. I reinstalled EyeTV but it did not help.
Any help appreciated.

I have to same problem: Bought Elgato Sat 3 years ago. Now I decided to install it in the living room and bought a new i5 Mac mini. EyeTV works fine but does not wake up Mountain Lion 10.8.2 sometimes.
When I program wake up events manually via System Preferences or pmset command in the terminal, all works fine and my Mac wakes up. I tried everything, from clean reinstall to debugging AutoWake.plist and such.
Annoying!

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

An error 1069 - )The service did not start due to logon failure) occurred while performing this service operation ...

Hi All,
We seem to be being plagued by the error below by our SQL Server agent. This happens almost everytime we restart the server that has been running for a day or two.
Our SQL Server Agent uses a none expiring domain credential. I understand that this problem only happens when the profile being used by the SQL Servr Agent has changed (password change). What puzzles me is that the login is A ok and no changes has been made to it's password.
We always resolve this problem by changing the login used in the SQL Server Agent to local and after that, returning it back to it's original domain login. Unfortunately, we cant always do this everytime something goes wrong.
Can anyone please help us shed a light on this? We're using SQL2k with SP3a. Thanks!
Error:
An error 1069 - )The service did not start due to logon failure) occurred while performing this service operation on the SQLServerAgent service.

Joseph

Ran into this error, and the password was correct. What the System Event Log said:
Code SnippetEvent Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7041
Date: 10/8/2008
Time: 9:33:09 AM
User: N/A
Computer: ComputerName
Description:
The SQLSERVERAGENT service was unable to log on as DomainName\SQLAgent with the currently configured password due to the following error:
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Service: SQLSERVERAGENT
Domain and account: DomainName\SQLAgent
This service account does not have the necessary user right "Log on as a service."
User Action
Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer. You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this. If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.
If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed, a Group Policy object associated with this node might be removing the right. Check with your domain administrator to find out if this is happening.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp
...sure enough it had been removed from the "Logon as a service" list. Hope this helps.

Do you have some idea why I get this error while starting the server?
Thank you in advance!

First you can start witht he example server, after installation go to start menu --> example--> launch the examples. which will create a sample domain and brings up the server etc., If you want your own domain, using configuration wizard create a domain(follow the steps mentioned in edocs.bea.com) and bring up the server.

3 year old Mac will not start up, help?

My 3year old Mac will not start up, just sits there and spins. Any suggestions on corrective steps?

Kurt412,
which version of OS X is installed on your MacBook Pro?

"The TestStand service did not start up promptly"

I have a LabView Operator Interface startup problem with TS 4.1. If
the OI is started immediately after system boot the operator may get apopup error from TestStand:
"The TestStand service did not start up promptly"
The
TestStand Service has a dependency on RPC so if either does not startup
before the operator launches the OI, he gets the message. If he
dismisses the message there is no further error i.e. the software
continues to work OK.
The real problem is the end user does not like this message and wants it removed.
Any suggestions how I can get rid of this message?
Only ideas I can see at the moment - either to have some kind of
delay timer on startup (this would need to be around 1-2 mins after
boot
on the system in question to stop it happening) or perhaps some LabView
code to poll the status of the TestStand service somehow so that we
wait for service to start before the OI communicates with testStand -
and thus the
popup does not occur.

The service should not normally take any significant amount of time to startup. There are some issues with service startup that we have noticed in some cases, but I don't remember the details. I will try and find out and get back to you. In the meantime, or as a possible solution, you can use the Windows SDK to check the status of the service and to wait until it is running. I'm not sure if the following can be directly translated into LabVIEW dll calls, but it would definitely be possible to create a C/C++ dll with the following code in it and call it from LabVIEW (If you do not have access to a C/C++ compiler and/or would like me to, I can probably build a dll with this code in it for you):
int MakeSureServiceIsRunning(void)
    SERVICE_STATUS serviceStatus;
    SC_HANDLE hService = NULL;
    SC_HANDLE hSCM = NULL;
    // Put variable into a good initial state for return value.
    serviceStatus.dwCurrentState = SERVICE_START_PENDING;
    hSCM = OpenSCManager(NULL, NULL, SC_MANAGER_CONNECT);
    if (hSCM == NULL)
        goto Error;
    hService = OpenService(hSCM, "National Instruments TestStand Service", SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS);
    if (hService == NULL)
        goto Error;
    do
        if(!QueryServiceStatus(hService, &serviceStatus))
            goto Error;
        if(serviceStatus.dwCurrentState != SERVICE_RUNNING)
            Sleep(100); // don't just do busy waiting, give up cpu time to other threads.
    while(serviceStatus.dwCurrentState == SERVICE_START_PENDING);
Error:
    if (hService != NULL)
        CloseServiceHandle(hService);
    if (hSCM != NULL)
        CloseServiceHandle(hSCM);
    if (serviceStatus.dwCurrentState == SERVICE_RUNNING)
        return 1;
    else
        return 0; // An error occurred, or service is in an unexpected state.
Or alternatively, if you want to do the polling inside of LabVIEW you could just do the following in the C/C++ dll:
int GetTestStandServiceStatus(unsigned int *serviceStatusReturnResult)
    SERVICE_STATUS serviceStatus;
    SC_HANDLE hService = NULL;
    SC_HANDLE hSCM = NULL;
    hSCM = OpenSCManager(NULL, NULL, SC_MANAGER_CONNECT);
    if (hSCM == NULL)
        goto Error;
    hService = OpenService(hSCM, "National Instruments TestStand Service", SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS);
    if (hService == NULL)
        goto Error;
    if(!QueryServiceStatus(hService, &serviceStatus))
        goto Error;
    *serviceStatusReturnResult = serviceStatus.dwCurrentState;
    CloseServiceHandle(hService);
    CloseServiceHandle(hSCM);
    return 1; // success
Error:
    if (hService != NULL)
        CloseServiceHandle(hService);
    if (hSCM != NULL)
        CloseServiceHandle(hSCM);
    return 0; // An error occurred. Perhaps TestStand service isn't registered.

I tried to start from the installation disc, I also try to reset the SMC and the PRAM. Nothing worked. I replaced the RAM cards too. It is a IMac 24"/2 Intel. Model number A1200 2006.

When I turn it on I hear a loud beep
Beeps are an indication the RAM (memory) is failing or has failed.

If you feel confident doing this, you can purchase RAM online. Crucial comes highly recommended. You can use their scanner > Memory upgrades from Crucial.com - Crucial Mac System Scanner
And uninstall the bad RAM, then reinstall new > iMac: How to remove or install memory
Or, take your Mac to an Apple Store.
The beep sound is not permissions related.

Try any of the following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball/freezing & crashing
