Mac freezes, even when starting from CD.

I appreciate all help y'all can give me on this.
My friend has an Imac running OS 8.6, and he wanted to create an account for me on his network. He went to the compter's control panels, and a bunch of them were gone. Just gone. He had moved the folder with them the night before, and this mac's been having problems for a while, so he decided to repair it. He put in the Reinstall and Repair disk that came with the Mac, and started it up from that. He then deblessed the system folder, and was in the process of repairing it when the comp froze. Now whenever he turns it on (booted from the CD, of course), it starts up then freezes about 30 secondes after completeing startup. Is there any way to fix it, or at least recover the files on his hard drive? He really needs them...
Ian

Hi, Ian -
He should have full access to all his files when he boots to a CD; having a place to move them to on an iMac may be difficult, unless he has an external drive.
However, it may not be needful to do that, as Tony Spencer has alluded to. It is not difficult to re-install the OS with no loss of data.
To do that, he will need to use the Software Install CD that came with the machine, or an appropriate-version retail OS Install CD; do not use the Software Restore CD that came with the machine.
Boot to the Install CD, and perform a Clean Install of the OS. A Clean Install will not remove anything.

  • FIX : Elements 11 photodownloader freezes Win7SP1 when reading from SD card

    I found a problem with Elements 11 and the photodownloader. (complete freeze, no blue screen, no possibility to shut down the application because the keyboard, mouse and screen are completely frozen, only shutdown the hard way possible)
    My machine is running Win7SP1 64 Bit
    SInce a couple of days my computer froze completely when I tried downloading photo's from an SD card.
    After an extensive diagnostic, reinstalling elements, testing via an USB key, I found the problem was when photodownloader reads from an SD card.
    With this I checked all Microsoft updates which had been installed and which might affect the SD card reader, when I found the MS update KB2800095.
    When I removed this update, and rebooted, the photodownloader worked fine again, even when reading from SD cards.
    Something in the patch from Microsoft makes photodownloader and Win7 to completely freeze up.

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.  The autoplay box automatically comes up with the Elements 12 box to select, but when I click on it, it gives that hateful noise and says "that there is no file associated with it and to go to default programs and associate it with one.  When I go to the Default programs, it gives this list of stupid stuff like "Paint" whatever that is, and stuff I never use and there is no way to add Elements 12 or any other thing.  Have right clicked, left clicked and everything else but nothing works. 
    How could I uninstall the entire program and not lose my organizer that has 40,000 photos and videos on there?  I don't understand it.
    And, also, I have to admit that I have no understanding whatsoever to understand the link that you so kindly gave me.  Sorry to be such an idiot, but I'm a nurse, not a computer expert and guess it is pretty clear that I just don't understand it.  My husband is an IT person but has no idea what to tell me because he has never worked with stuff like Elements or Photoshop, etc. 
    Any other suggestions that I could understand would be really appreciated.  Am just so frustrated.

  • WS-ReliableMessaging when starting from WSDL

    I'm trying to enable WS-ReliableMessaging for a service for which I started
    from the WSDL. I used to start from the JWS file and so I just added the
    @Policy annotation to enable WS-RM, but now I'm starting from the WSDL
    (using the wsdlc ant task to generate the JWS and interface JWS) and I can
    no longer enable WS-RM. I cannot add a @Policy annotation because then it
    won't compile (because of the interface). I've also tried adding other WS-RM
    (optional) annotations and even embedded the policy directly into the WSDL,
    but no luck.
    Does anyone know how to enable WS-RM when starting from a WSDL under
    WebLogic?
    Thanks.

    Hi dvohra21,
    The 3rd party has advice me tha the wsdl is not available on the specified ip:port on which the web service is running. If I make a call to the web service named "fvdbscan" as per your question, i.e., if i put the in a web browser http://192.168.1.4:1063/fvdbscan?wsdl , i get the following:
    <SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
      <SOAP-ENV:Body>
        <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
          <faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode>
          <faultstring>HTTP GET method not implemented</faultstring>
        </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
      </SOAP-ENV:Body>
    </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
    Further more, as you can see in the atteched image, the "JDeveloper Test Web Service" i.e., the HTTP Analyser, option works fine when a call a funtion in the web servicce.
    However, when I run the client, ( which as you can see has zero code expect for that generated by the JDeveloper wizard), it throws an excception, as showned below.
    Here you can see the WebServiceClient generated by the JDeveloper wizard and you can see the urn it has created which is not valid.
    Thank you for your attention.

  • Power Mac 7600 doesn't start from Mac OS 9.1 CD

    I'm trying to boot from a Mac OS 9.1 CD on a Power Mac 7600 I'm trying to bring back to life
    but it appears the blinking question mark. I've tried using the "C" command but it simply doesn't boot.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help

    One of my favorite pre-G3 Macs! I have one that runs great.
    ---First, has anyone pulled/replaced/moved RAM modules? My experiences with several 7600's at work back in the 1990s was that the RAM needed to be matched in order in the slots and by size regardless of what the specs and several third-party tech reviews say.
    There are eight RAM slots in two groups (of three and five slots) separated by an offset slot for a cache module You should see ID codes on the logic board by each slot: A1, A2, A3, A4; and B1, B2, B3, and B4. You want to load the slots in this order: A1, B1, A2, B2, etc, and match the module size so modules of the same size are paired. My 7600 has this pattern:
    A1: 128MB        B1: 128MB
    A2: 32MB          B2: 32MB
    A3: 16MB          B3: 16MB
    A4: 16MB          B3: 16MB
    So, if modules don't match, match them and try again
    Pairing RAM in this model gives a significant performance boost; the data path goes from 64-bit to 128-bit.
    ---Is the OS9 disk a full retail install disk or a gray one that came with a newer Mac? That could affect startup, Some disks for much newer Macs may not start a pre-G3 Mac.
    ---If the commuter has been off wall power for a long time the PRAM battery is likely deader than Yorick. That could affect startup from the hard drive but should not be at play when starting from a CD.
    ---Another issue  that affects old computers that have been stored and moved around is loose cards. Make sure all card and modules are fully seated, especially the processor card.
    Anyway, those are some things to consider. Keep us posted!

  • Itunes wont update track names even when purchased from itunes

    my itunes wont update track names even when purchased from itunes

    Update them to what?
    Are they not correct as purchased from iTunes?
    I seriously doubt that the track names are incorrect in the iTunes store and when downloaded to your computer.

  • Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

    Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

    No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
    I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
    To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

  • Mac Pro restarts when waking from sleep

    Hi everyone.
    I just got a brand new Mac Pro (2 x 2.66GHz), and had Apple upgrade the RAM to 2GB (4 x 512MB). My first problem is that the computer always restarts when waking from sleep, which is annoying! I have reset the SMC by unplugging the machine for a minite, but the problem persists. I have also tried sleeping the computer with nothing plugged in except the monitor and keyboard/mouse, but I get the same problem. All software/firmware is fully up to date.
    I have also just noticed that the System Profiler states that there is only 1GB RAM in the computer, even though I am sure that it recognised 2GB when I got the machine a fortnight ago (I even have a screen shot of 'about this mac' to prove it!). Can anybody help, or do I need to phone Apple support?
    Thanks,
    Matthew

  • My mac pro restarts when waking from sleep

    Hello everyone pls help me.
    I have a annoying problem and that is that my Mac Pro restarts after it has been to sleep.
    Last week I updated the system with an update from Apple, safteyupdate 2013-003 version 1.0.
    I have swedish OsX 10.6.8.
    After this update my mac always restarts after waking from sleep.
    So what may have gone wrong?
    Pls help me in a simple way, and pls describe in easy steps if I have to do something.

    One suggestion is to always have cloned your system ahead of time, that means before making changes or updates, early on when it is fresh and working.
    And don't just restart. Use Safe Mode at least, better yet use Recovery Mode if on Lion (which I do recommend) and have a small OS Emergency drive for any maintenance - along with a clone working copy of your system.
    Don't just reinstall over your system. Do a fresh install on another drive. Image it and set that for maintenance, then clone that to be a new working base for your system.
    Setup Assistant does an amazing job.
    Forced restarts can corrupt the filesystem and directory as the changes in memory or cache are not written out and drives are not unmounted properly and will come to bite in the rear.

  • N96 freezes/stuck when starting up and screen prob...

    Hi, I am new and i would like to know why my N96 stucks at a blank white screen when starting up, is this what they call the "White screen of death"? I currently uses firmware version 12.043.  Sometimes when I remove my microSD card and then turn on my cellphone, it starts up normally, is there something wrong with my microSD card? or is it my N96? If so, is there a way to fix this problem? Also, sometimes when I leave my phone on standby mode and it's backlight turns off, i can't turn the backlight back on or even turn off my cellphone, I tried turning off the lockguard, but it gets stucks with backlight off and only showing the battery status, and the time, is there something wrong with my cellphone? Any solution? Thank you in advance!
    Message Edited by reventon on 11-Apr-2009 01:18 AM

    If the phone refuses to start correctly when the microSD card is inserted but starts up normally when you remove the microSD card, then it certainly looks like the microSD card has a problem.
    It could simply be data corruption, in which case reformatting the memory card (in the phone!) should put things right. This might also have something to do with the other freeze-ups you mention.
    If formatting the card doesn't solve the problem then leave it out of the phone for a while and see if the phone carries on misbehaving. If there are no further problems with the memory card removed altogether then it's a fairly safe bet that the card is faulty.

  • Mac Projector Crashes When exported From Flash CS5.5

    Something strange that i noticed, when i had exported a presentation for a Mac,
    on a 64 bit windows 7 using flash cs5.5.
    the applicaton gets the paths of a few swfs from an XML file
    and loads them one after the other.. there is a small bit of interactivity.
    .. tested this projecter on various versions of MAC, it crashes often,crashes earlier if i switch applications.  what follows here is a part of a report that was generated on an  OS X 10.7.3,
    works fine if the projector is exported from flash cs5.
    i need it to work when exported from flash cs5.5.. any suggestions on what i need to change in my application so that it works when exported from flash cs5.5?
    Your help would be appreciated Thanks in Advance

    Looks like it was a memory problem with the jvm.ini file.
    Pumped it up to 256 and it works now.

  • Audio only plays when started from the beginning?

         Hi! I'm fairly new to flash, i'd consider myself a beginner, but recently i've been tasked with making an animation for someone! There is a song playing in the animation, it's a wav and it's on its own layer. There are also drawings i imported in too.
         My problem is, i want to be able to sync up the little drawings to the words of the song, but the audio only plays when i start at 0 on the timeline. If i were to start at let's say frame 24, it won't play. Does anyone know how to fix this? This commission needs to be finished by Wednesday and it's a S L O W process, having to start it over only to hear like one or two words later on

    change the sync property (in the properties panel after clicking the keyframe where your sound starts) from event to stream.  retest.

  • Firewall blocks service when started from launchd

    I run lighttpd (installed from MacPorts), and it is binded to port 80. I am trying to make the Leopard Firewall play nice with it.
    The firewall is set to 'Set access for specific services and applications', and the lighttpd binary is on the list of applications set with 'Allow incoming connections'.
    When I start the service manually, it works fine, and the firewall allows outside connections to port 80. However, I use the launchd script shipped with MacPort's lighttpd to run lighttpd on boot.
    The firewall appears to block incoming connections to port 80 when lighttpd is started from the launchd script on booting, but allows incoming connections to port 80 when lighttpd is started manually from the Terminal.
    Any idea how to get the firewall to play nicely with lighttpd when started via launchd?

  • ITunes Freezing Intermittently when Playing from iPod

    Hello,
    If anyone could shed any light on this I'd be most grateful. My problem, like many others, began when I updated the iTunes software a few days ago but the problem itself seems to be different.
    My iPod is mounting fine and iTunes recognises it okay. I always play my music off my iPod and don't keep it in the library, which up until now has produced no problems. However, since updating iTunes keeps freezing in the middle of playing, as if I've hit pause. It does this a few times and then re-starts after a minute or so. After doing that maybe four or five times it crashes the programme completely and iPod freezes as well.
    iPod then won't eject, even if I eject it off the desktop. iTunes won't quit, even using force quit it just keeps coming back, and then the whole system crashes and I have to do an emergency switch-off. Most times, the iPod itself stays frozen on the 'Do Not Disconnect' screen and obviously I'm damaging both iPod and PowerBook by having to dismount it without correctly ejecting and switching off without shutting down. It's driving me insane!
    Any ideas? Preferably ones that don't involve major things like totally re-formatting the iPod - especially because to transfer my music back on to my computer is probably going to cause it to crash again.
    I've got a 20GB 3G iPod - are Apple just making software that totally ruins older generation iPods or what?!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Jess

    You should get your songs into iTunes and then immediately back them up.
    To get the songs off your iPod and into iTunes, see this post from Zevoneer > http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11857456&#11857456

  • PowerBook 17 crashes consistently, even when booted from Tiger DVD

    We have a new PowerBook 17 that has started giving us problems in the last day or so. It will hang after running for a few minutes. This is a consistent problem - it doesn't go away for an hour, or a day - if the machine is running, it will hang. There is no kernel panic, no dialogue box, the trackpad, mouse, etc. simply stop responding (the clock freezes too, so I know the system is hanging up - not just input devices).
    I've managed to run throught most of the normal trouble-shooting methods, I say "managed" because the machine froze when I was booting into single user mode. So I went to the Tiger DVD that shipped with the laptop. Upon getting to the language selection dialog box - it froze again (no mouse, keyboard activity, etc.). Eventually, the machine did boot from the startup DVD - and I ran disk utility. Of course it found no problems with permissions or the disk because this is apparently hardware related, no?
    That being said, an archive and install will probably do us no good. But would Tech Tools (came with our AppleCare) manage to at least spot a Hardware issue? At this point, the only thing I haven't done is removed the third-party RAM we installed (which has been installed for nearly two weeks with no sign of conflict). That will be the next course of action and we'll run Tech Tools. Any ideas or suggestions regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated. We all know that being down one machine is not a good thing - thanks in advance for any assistance.

    David,
    I always had a pristine system: no kernel panics, no system hangs. Then, one day I started to have kernel panics and hang ups and when I tried to install XCode it failed, then I couldn't install iWork '06. At first I thought it was a problem with the disk until I decided to run Apple's hardware test. After all, it was just a problem with one of the 512MBs memory DIMMs. Removed the offending DIMM and everything went back to normal.
    So, I think you should try the hardware test. To do this just start up from the original installation disk while pressing the option key and then choose Apple Hardware Test from the available startup disks.
