Major issues: won't load from blue screen backdrop once blue bar fills up

i am hoping someone can help! my computer won't start up once it gets to the blue screen background with the mac os x and apple logo in a silver box. the blue bar fills up all the way and then just stalls. i can't load the utility disk becuase i have a cd in the disk drive. yikes. i have not backed up in a few months.
The problem started occuring after i was experiencing issues with firefox crashing and subsequently finder locking up. after restarting one time this problem occurred. i completed the latest updates yesterday morning.

Hi! Hold the mouse button down at startup to eject the disc from the dvd drive. Then startup from the install disc and repair the drive as per THIS doc. Tom

  • PE8 edit won't load from start screen in XP Pro

    I have just installed PE8 in place of Pinnacle Studio Plus 10.8 which I've been using for a few years with few problems. It seems to install OK with no error messages but It won't load "new project" from the start screen although it will load "organiser". I also can't get into "new project" from the organiser. My computer is running XP Pro and has a single core Intel Pentium 4 processor running at 2.66GHz with 2Gig of RAM. Should I be able to run PE8 on my system?

    You should be -- assuming you have at least 30 gigabytes of free, defragmented space on your C drive and all of your operating system and Quicktime updates.
    A Pentium, though, is way at the lower end of the required power to run this program. Unlike previous versions of the program, version 8 needs a huge amount of power to run. I can barely run it on my Pentium 4, and then only with basic miniDV editing, although it runs much better on my dual-core 2.6 ghz machine.
    To see how much power it needs to start up and run, open the Task Manager (right-click on your Windows Task Bar) and watch how long it takes for your processor to settle down when you launch the program. On my Pentium, it can take over 5 minutes to open a project and stabilize!

  • NAND script and won't load past apple screen

    My I phone 5 has crashed won't load past apple screen and has a list of NAND scripts can anyone help or had this happen

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    4. Restore with your backup.
    5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.    You may need to try DFU mode (Google for it).
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro.

    Photoshop CS5.1 Won't Load Images On Screen at retina MacBook pro. Any help? Thanks!

    I'm surprised that Apple would attempt such a "hack" design...  Switching graphics adapters mid-stream is no small task, and I can't imagine that they could ever make it work seamlessly.
    Keep in mind that the nature of the complex GPU beast is that graphics hardware doesn't all work the same (or right) and application software has to make decisions about what to do and what not to do, and even when to invoke certain workarounds - or it would never be possible to run on multiple platforms. 
    Yes, that seems wrong, but it's necessary and it makes developing cutting-edge graphics applications in the real world much more expensive.
    The decisions aren't re-made by an application all the time - that would slow things down terribly.  Instead, often the run-time environment is characterized at application startup and the features remembered for later use.  Modern applications actually even create programs (e.g., shaders or OpenCL programs) to run on specific GPU hardware, and they have to be compiled - something usually done by the application at startup.
    Now imagine that someone changes the capabilities of the graphics hardware completely after the application has started - even from one vendor's implementation to another (Intel to nVidia).
    Like I said, I'm surprised a reasonable system designer could ever think that swapping GPUs at run-time could be made to work.  At least Apple allows you to turn it off!
    Does Apple offer any "geek-level" configuration options that can force the use of a particular GPU for a given application?  It seems that this could be an automated workaround that would allow a given application to see only one GPU, which is what Photoshop appears to need here.

  • I have an email that is sent but won't disappear from my screen. I push cancel and nothing happens. I can't get back to my accounts. What do I do ?

    I have an email that won't disappear from my screen.
    I push cancel and nothing happens.
    I can see my accounts "behind" the email but I can't access them.
    I have turned machine off and on again.
    What else?

    Go back to your homescreen, then completely close down your mail app by double clicking the home button to open the multi-tasking bar. Hold your finger on the mail app icon and then click the red circle that appears on the left of the icon.
    Once you have done that, reopen the mail app and you should be sorted.

  • TS1367 when the white start screen comes on with the apple and spinning wheel but underneath it there is a bar. Once the bar fills up my MacBook goes off what is that? What do I do?

    start screen comes on with the apple and spinning wheel but underneath it there is a bar. Once the bar fills up my MacBook goes off what is that? What do I do?

    Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
    If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage.  If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash.

  • My Computer won't load from Globe and Folder

    Another issue has yet arose. When I started my computer this morning I got a Blue Globe and a gray background and then the globe will change to a Mac folder and then to a question mark. I tried taking the hard drive out and checking it and repairing it and it tells me its fine and doesn't need fixed, which I figured because the thing was just working. I tried Command combinations on the keyboard and it won't move it! it won't even boot from the disc! Please Help!

    The blue globe indicates the startup disk (volume) selection in PRAM somehow got set to Network.
    Possible solutions -
    • Reset PRAM. Restart or boot, immediately upon hearing the startup chimes press and hold down the Command-Option-P-R keys until you've heard two additional sets of startup chimes. Then let startup continue.
    • Force OSX. Restart or boot, immediately upon hearing the startup chimes press and hold down the X key, keep it held down until the machine starts to boot to OS X.
    • Try using Startup Manager. Restart or boot, immediately upon hearing the startup chimes press and hold down the Option key. This should bring up a blue screen with some icons in it. Select (use the arrow keys) the one representing your OS X on the hard drive, press Return.

    Once you get it up and running, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select your internal hard drive as the boot volume.

  • Satellite M40 won't load past BIOS screen

    when i turn my Satellite M40 on sadly it won't load past about 7/8ths of the blue bar going across the screen.
    this has left me completely baffled as what to do.
    apparently it could be repaired by removing the battery cables on my CMOS?
    would anyone know how i would go about doing this? or have any other ideas?
    thanks xx

    Hi Dec,
    The scrolling blue bars indicate that the Wondiows operating system is being loaded from the hard drive. If this process stalls during the load then it is likely that either the hard drive itself is defetive or the files which are being loaded are corrupt and cannot be loaded.
    Interfering with the CMOS chip will not correct this problem since the BIOS has already been loaded at this stage.
    If you have access to a bootable CD/DVD (such as Norton Disk Doctor) then I siggest you try booting from it and running a scan of your hard drive. Alternatively you could try re-installing your operating system from the Toshiba recovery CDs but this will over-write any of your own data on your hard drive.
    regards

  • Help! Won't load past white screen!!

    I need help please! My curve won't load past the white loading blackberry screen. I downloaded an app from the app store and it crashed my phone.  I called my carriers tech support but they are backed up and it might be a days before they can get back to me.

    Jenn, If your BlackBerry stays powered off with a white or black screen, follow the instructions below. The only indication of life might be the blinking red LED light in the top corner. Nothing seems to wake it up and Desktop Manager doesn't recognize any device is connected.
    1) Make sure you have Blackberry Desktop Manager installed.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    2) On your PC, go to Start > Run and copy and paste the following line exactly (meaning with the quotation marks):
    "c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader\loader.exe" /nojvm
    3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
    4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
    5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
    NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/BlackBerry_Operating_System_Downloads
    Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

  • Issue with a load from R3 to BW 3.5

    Hi Guys,
    We are having an issue here with a load from R3 to BW 3.5 to an ODS and
    a transactional infocube.
    In a daily basis we are running loads to BW from R/3 infosets and all
    of them but one loads fine.
    The one that is having problems is actually the one that loads more
    data, therefore the infopackage is divided into two infopackages.
    In the update rule of the first ODS we are running an initial routine
    in which we are doing a RSDRD_SEL_DELETION (selective deletion) of the
    data to be loaded to both the ODS and the infocube, and is actually
    here where we got the core dump.
    Our first assumption was that maybe there was any yellow request in the
    transactional infocube avoiding the selective deletion but we have
    discarded this.
    We think that, as the only one failing is the one that divides into two
    infopackages, the problem might be that at the moment that the first is
    triying to delete the second one is loading data into the ods and there
    we get the dump.
    The question here is ¿Could this be the problem? ¿How could we
    workaround this if this is the case?
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    Hi,
    Be carefull on ODS activation, if you're using 2 infopackage and/or deleting data from an ODS which is lock for an activation, you'll occurs a dump.
    Check SM12 / ST22 / SM21 and job logs in SM37.
    And if pb still occurs for a load, debug it in start routine.
    Regards,

    My ipod touch's battery died, so I plugged it in to charge. After awhile it turned on to where the apple logo shows up. After a day the logo was still on the screen with a loading sign there. It won't load to the home screen after 2 days. Help?

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
