My G5 tower will boot and run fine in safe mode, but...

When I boot normally I get artifacting and it locks up. I replaced the video card, reformatted and installed a new copy of OSX, etc. Thanks!

Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

And/or iStat Pro...

If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Why does my iMac run fine in Safe Mode but has many problems when it isn't?

If you take a look at my previous posts you will see that I have had the usual problems that many, many other iMac G5 1.8 20" Rev A owners have been recently experiencing (Kernel Panics, Screen Blurs, Screen darker at top more than bottom, etc)
I have discovered that the only way to stop all the numerous problems that I have been having is to start the iMac up in Safe Boot Mode
In this mode it has been running Perfect! No Crashes! No Screen Problems! It's been wonderful to get it back to normal after all the peristant problems I have had! The only thing being that you can't use sound in or out or the DVD Player with Safe Mode!
So the question I would like to ask is:
So does this mean that the problems I had before were just Software conflicts/issues and not Hardware ones?
Cheers for your help
Bob
iMac G5 1.8 20" Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2 Gig RAM

When you start up in Safe Mode various things aren't loaded at startup, Bob.
Have a thinbk about which of the following may be involved in your own case:
It forces a directory check of the startup volume.
It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
It runs only Apple-installed startup items (some of the items in /Library/StartupItems and /System/Library/StartupItems - and different than login items).
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger only: It disables all fonts other than those in /System/Library/Fonts .
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger only: It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/(uid)/ , where (uid) is a user ID number such as 501.
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger only: It disables any Login Items.
(from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392)
Have a look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464 for some more possibilities.
You may find it worth while using System Prefernces/Accounts to creat a new admin user account and see if the problem persists with it. THis may help you narrow down the problem further.

my problem is
imac works fine in safe mode,
but when you try to startup normal it's connstantly restart by it self.

in safe mode works perfectly,soon as I try to boot in normal mode it's keep restarting.on screen I don't see any line vertical or horizontal picture look normal on safe mode.but unable to start normal it just restarting over and over.I try another HDD but same things happen,I replace memory but still same.works ok in safe mode but not in normal mode.I will try to post system error report.

Hi jim1287,po
Check for the latest updates. Installing latest updates should resolve this problem.
Also, try to ran disk repair using safe mode in Mac, for instructions please visit: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204
Try enabling root user profile on mac and try to check. OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user

My mid-2010 27" iMac running Mavericks is fine in safe mode, but with normal boot up the screen goes haywire with some animation emanating from the apple menu area at top left of screen.

From what I'm reading in these forums, this is likely an issue due to some 3rd party software / kernal conflict. I am going to run a diagnostic and perhaps someone here can help me evaluate the results and determine what software must be removed.
It's hard to describe what I'm seeing on screen. I've never seen anything like it. I get a number of lines that begin at the top left of my screen, about at the apple icon, and they spread out in a triangular pattern from left to right, top to bottom across my screen, while the entire screen flickers uncontrollably. I realize that iMacs from this era have screen issues, but since I can boot fine in safe mode, this can't be a hardware issue.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line

My Mac starts up fine in safe mode, but freezes before the login screen in normal mode.

I have the 2012 MBP, 4 GB of RAM, 500GB HD, 2.5GHz Intel i5 processor. Everything worked fine, until one day it freezes all of a sudden. I shut down and restarted. The Apple logo appears with the loading animation underneath. A few moments later, the animation disappears, and the mouse cursor appears. This is normal. What's not normal is that it stays on this screen forever. I can't get to the login screen even after waiting sooo long. Even restarting 5 times only repeats this problem. I finally boot into safe mode. I am able to login and get to the desktop in safe mode, but not normal mode. Clearing every startup item in System Prefs, and in the startupitems folders does not solve the problem. Disk utility says no problems. Resetting PRAM does nothing. Can anyone please tell me what I should do next?

Do you hear the startup chimes?
If so, then the startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
OS X Recovery does require a broadband high speed internet connection.

Why will my iMac boot fine in Safe Mode but freezes on a normal boot?

It is a 17" iMac. 1.83Ghz Core 2 Duo. 1GB RAM. 160GB Hard Drive. Combo Drive with Intel GMA 950 GPU.
I took out the screen and put in in a different computer a while back. This was a working computer before hand. I pulled it off the shelf the other day to get it going (using an External Monitor) and when it gets past the Apple Screen, it goes to the blue screen, and then loads the wallpaper and some of the taskbar, but no dock and it freezes. (This is on a fresh install of Leopard). When I boot to safe mode, it boots fine. I have tried reseating RAM, different RAM sticks, and a different hard drive. Also replaced PRAM battery. Done a SMC reset and a PRAM reset. No change.
Also worth noting was that when I tried to boot my Leopard disc, it would freeze at the Choose Language screen. So I took the HD out and installed Leopard thru my other iMac and reinstalled OS X. Did the same thing when I tried to boot from a Snow Leopard disc.
Ideas??

Hello, in Safe Mode did you try setting a good resolution on the Display?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Code runs fine in debug mode but hangs when compiled in release mode

I am struggling with the following problem. I have code which runs fine when it is executed in debug mode. However, when I compile it in release mode and run the executable, the code freezes and does not work. The code acquires images from a Hamamatsu camera. In the debug mode I am able to continuously acquire images. However, in the release version, the code hangs after acquiring the first image.
I am using LabWindows/CVI version 7.
I would greatly appreciate if I can get any help/suggestions in resolving this problem?
Thanks!

Sripad
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sripad:
If you search this forum for "debug release crash" or "release version crash" or similar phrases, you'll find that this is a pretty common question. Look through the other posts you find here to see if anything is applicable to you.
The debug version does some things like padding variables so you can sometimes overrun your declared variable space without overwriting the next variable. In the release, the variables are packed, so if you overrun one, you are overwriting another. Just one possible difference.
You can do some things in your release code to see where things get lost, like (temporarily using printf statements after multiple statements at the start and end of your loop to try to identify that failing line of code.
Look through other threads to find other ideas.

Program running fine in Debug mode but failing in direct execution

Hi All,
I am facing a peculiar problem, I have created a report that create STO then Delivery and then Shipment one after one. I have used BAPI to do so. If STO creation is successful then Create Delivery and if delivery creation is also successfull then create Shipment.
When I run this program by pressing execute button it is only creating STO and coming out ,but if I run it in Debug mode I get all the three( STO, Delivey,Shipment). Since it run fine in debug so I can't found where the problem is.
Can any one help???
Regards
Hemant

Hi guys,
A learning for me .... how important WAIt parmeter is in commit work .. Initially i have not set WAIT paramater in commit BAPI to X due to this further processing.. Delivery and Shipment creation was failing in direct execution ... as after STO creation I was reding EKPO and that was failing in direct execution , but in backgroung everything was ok.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers
Hemant

OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4: imessage works fine in safe mode, but not in "normal" mode. Any hints?

My iMessages does not work in "normal" startup, but it works perfectly in safe mode.
Any hints?
I have the same problem on a MacBook Pro 17" and on a MacAir 13" mid 2011.
On my MacMini, iMessage work's fine.
I'm using same apple ID on all 3 devices.
Before update to 10.8.4, i had no problems.
FaceTime also stopped working after update to 10.8.4.
Thanks in Advance,
Lars O.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working I can't even open itunes I have tried uninstalling and installing, starting in safe mode but nothing seems to work. Please can anyone help me

I have recently bought a new laptop with windows 7 and when i have tried to install and open itunes i keep getting the message 'itunes has stopped working' itunes then shuts down before i can do anything to fix it. This happens every time I try to open itunes. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, starting itunes in safe mode. Nothing seems to work. Please can anyone help.

If and when I finally manage to open it, as soon as I click on a movie to watch, the message "itunes has stopped working" comes up.
Try the following user tip with that one:

Early Imac 20" freezes on regular mode but works fine in safe mode, any ideas?

Have a early 2006 Imac 20" that won't run in normal mode; freezes within minutes. Run fine in safe mode, but safe mode won't play sound or allow exterior inputs. In high fan state, don't know the name of the mode, but you hold the power button while plugging in power cord, the machine also runs relatively fine. The machines been glitzy for years, developed the lines/colour patterns that's been mentioned in other forms/threads, but it still ran programs. Took it to apple and they said the board is the issue and my machine is obsolete. Fine, I just want to understand why it will run perfectly in safe mode; no lines, no freezing, all programs running...but won't last minutes in regular mode. Also, if anyone has a way to play music...in bluetooth or appletv in safe mode, let me know.
Thanks.

Most of thee skinny on that...

Ok, Just want some clarity here.
I can start up my computer and it runs fine in safe mode. No problems other than the restrictions safe mode imposes. All my external devices run.
When I restart normally I get a varying amount of time before a freeze occurs. Sometimes I'll start all the way up and be fine for a minute or 2. Sometimes it freezes at the login screen. Sometimes it freezes at that first loading bar, or even a couple of times at the initial blue screen.
When I say freeze everything stops. No dock, no key commands. I can however still move the cursor around the screen. Can't do anything with it, but it moves with my Wireless Logitech mouse, and Wacom Tablet.
When it stops in the initial start up phase the freeze is usually accompanied by some sort of weird screen artifacts. They look like 4x4 pixel dots of odd colors. 1 to 6 of them. I don't remember getting these if I've gotten all the way logged in.
I've had some problems in the recent past with my SMU. And had to cut down on the number of devices I have plugged in at any one time. Mostly a firewire issue. I thought I had achieved a balance. All of them seemed to work fine until these freezes happened in last couple of days. And again they work right now in safe mode.
I've repaired permissions (using Disk Utility)
I've run all the maintenance scripts (using Janitor)
I cleared the caches (using Cache Out X)
And I've run Preferential Treatment
I've been hearing video card a lot but these symptoms seem unique and didn't want to jump the gun.
Thanks in advance Adam.

I booted off my install disk. Repairing the disk found nothing. But I tried to start up normally just to see. Here's the System Log from the console.
Narration will be seperated by dashes. Times are my best guess against a timesheet I kept with pen and paper.

IBook G4 1.2 freezing locking up but fine in Safe Mode

Hi guys and girls,
Couple of day ago my iBook froze. Keyboard lights would work but thats it. I shut it down and tried to reboot. Got to blue screen and froze there. Tried to reboot again this time it reached the desktop but froze a couple of minutes later. Couldn't get more than 2-3 mins out of it.
Ran Disk utlity from the start up disk, used fisrt aid and hardware check and there were no errors although it took a few attempts due to it locking up. Decided to do a complete re-install, this took 2 attempts but didnt solve it still freezes after couple of mins. Sometimes freezes on startup at the blue screen sometimes i get a few mins use then nothing!
This sounds all very familiar from what i've read on these forums but the only difference is that the iBook runs fine in Safe Mode. I'm pretty much a novice at this but does that suggest that its a software issue and not hardware? Is is something to do with the airport since running through Safe Mode the Airport doesnt register as being installed?
Help if you can i'd appreciate any you can offer!!
Many Thanks in advance!

Startup Items are in System Preferences>Accounts>youraccount>Startup Items. To delete them just highlight one and click the minus sign. To test it without deleting any just create a new administrator account. Call it test and set the password as test also (easy to remember). Make sure there are no Startup Items. Log out of your account (Apple Menu>Log Out) and log into the new one or if you're running in safe mode, restart and log into the test account. See if it runs OK. If it does, you know it's something in your account causing the problem.

My MacBook Air won't load web pages from the internet. It will connect to phone hotspot and run fine. The apple store reset the library and network preferences and it ran fine for a little bit, now slow again. Any ideas?
