My iMac (mid-2011) does not start and AHT is OK

I had a similar issue last June and after I carried my iMac to Genius bar, they decided to replace the HDD on warranty. It solved partially the issue but after uninstalling flah player, everything was fine. So, 3 days ago, when this problem occured again, I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player.
But this time, it solved the problem only for one day (it should mean that is is not related to 'Flash"), and I have not been able to start it ever since.
I tried all kinds of resets and ran a bunch of tests with no result.
When I do the AHT (Apple Hardware Test) from disc2 , result is perfect and AHT does not find any hardware problem.
I tried to boot from disc1 (installation disc) but no way to boot. It could be that I have updated OSX 10.6 to Lion 10.7 and disc is 10.6???
It seems I am stucked. Any idea will be welcome

Have you tried a safe boot, by holding the shift key down as you boot? That will take longer than a regular boot, as it's doing some disk maintenance. If that works, try a normal boot.

IMac (Mid 2011) Does not wake up after long sleep

Hi People,
Having issues with my Mid2011 iMac (21,5", 2.7GHz). Just upgraded to 12GB RAM (2x2GB original + 2x4GB). System runs fine, no issues.
But when system goes to sleep for a longer period (a few hours) it will not wake up again. Neither by Keyboard/Mouse interaction (Bluetooth as well as USB) nor by pushing the powerbutton. I also performed the PRAM and SMC reset as described in the apple support resources.
Feeling a bit lost. Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Addition:
Performed a test of the RAM with memtest. No erros found. Also forget to mention that the Mac has also Software updates and firmware updates installed.

Such an error is always caused by inconsistent files in the Firefox program folder (application.ini and/or platform.ini and possibly others) and your only option is to reinstall that version of Firefox, either via the software repositories or the Mozilla server.<br />
Be sure to delete all files in that folder before copying the files from that tar.bz2 archive.<

Hp probook 4420s does not start and continuously cap lock blinks

I have tried-------
1. Bios Recovery ( used windows key and B and power button)
2. changed the memory to another slot
3. Power button holding 3 times (15-20 sec) without connect AC & DC
Still remain the same problem:
Computer does not start and contineously blinking the cap lock
Note: Using Windows 7, when I updated then suddenly shut down the computer and does not start.

Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button
Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
Your notebook does not have Windows 8 installed, but almost everything in this troubleshooting document applies. Take a look at the blinking leds section. Blink codes are a diagnostic aid and the sequence of blinks repeat. There is a list which will tell you what the repeating blinks mean.

Ligthroom 5.5 after installing the software does not start and does not give any kind of mistake

I subscribe to CC as a photographer and just inatalar Ligthroom but this does not start and no daningun mistake. Reinstall several times but still the same. What can be the problem?
thanks

Hola, arreglado por mi parte también, chateando (en inglés...) con un operador que ha demostrado conocer perfectamente la solución (para Win7):
En carpetas "C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\" y "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\" deben activarse permisos de control total para el usuario (que puede no tener control total en el sistema) y desactivar "solo lectura" a las carpetas descritas y sus subcarpetas para que al iniciar se configure el registro adecuadamente. Una vez hecho esto me ha funcionado todo a la primera, me lo han explicado paso a paso por el chat. Un 10 para el técnico, un suspenso para Adobe por no publicar adecuadamente la solución.
Gracias manufoto por tu explicación, parece que todo va a parar a las mismas carpetas.
Saludos

My imac does not start and asks for bootdisk

i bought a new imac and connected it with internet to upgrade the drivers. Power went off... and now imac does not start.
When it starts it asks for the boot disk and no boot disk came up with my mac.
Please help how can i reinstall mac.
thanks

None of the options work. I press the power on button keeping the option and R button pressed but the only option that appears is
First blank white screen appears as soon as i power on (option R is pressed) and then the following message
No bootable Device -- Insert boot disk and press any key
(Ethernet cable is connected but it does not go for internet recovery either)
No more activity.
Also if you can guide from where I can download OS X Lion for reinstalling it to the imac, please.
Does every mac come with a restore/bootable disk or not? We ordered two macs but did not get any disk with any of them.
Anxiously waiting for help....

My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.

Itunes does not start and i cannot sync my iphone 4

I have installed Itunes 10.1.1.4 on my computer running Windows XP but it does not start. This prevent me to sync my new iphone 4.
Previously I had other versions of itunes on the computer and sometimes the same problem happened.
I did a search on Apple support and I followed the instructions (itunes disinstallation and reinstallation) but it didn't work.
I tried also to disable all the startup app but itunes using msconfig (as again suggested by apple) but it din't work as well.
Somewhere on internet I found that Bonjour could create the problem: using services.msc I disabled it but it din't work as well.
I would appreciate very much if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.

Giovanni

SAP MMC does not start and red in color

Hi Gurus,
We are in a process of installing EhP4 and there were lots of errors. We reverted back to old version.
After moving back to old state i.e., EhP3, system does not start.
1. SAPosCol does not start acutomatically in the service
2. sapmmc does not show database details
3. When I try to start the server through SAPMMC, all esmart03 0, esmart03 1 turns to red.
Please let me know how i can fix this problem.
I want to post screen shot, but i am not sure how i can post the same here.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shreeshail

Thanks Sunny for your reply.
We had taken system system backup (complete "E" drive) where SAP server is installed. I had to stop EhP4 process as we got a requirement to bringup NWBC.
We restored the "E" drive content and then restarted the SAP server.
After that servies did not start and MMC does not show up Database details.
Do i need to create services and MMC to fix the issues??
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shreeshail

Since Yosemite my Macbook 11inch mid 2011 does not see second thunderbolt display anymore. My MacBookPro 13inch Early 2013 works fine, but it swaps the screens after an (re)boot

Since Yosemite my Macbook 11inch mid 2011 (supports Thunderbolt) does not see the second thunderbolt display anymore.
My MacBookPro 13inch Early 2013 works fine, but it swaps the screens after an (re)boot.
Does anyone else experience these problems and/or have solutions

Hello ROBLAHAY,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your MacBook Air. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you are describing. If you are talking about using two external Thunderbolt displays (in addition to the internal display) with your Mid 2011 MacBook Air 11-inch, you may want to be aware that only a single external Thunderbolt display is supported on that model, as noted in the following article:
3. How many Apple Thunderbolt Displays can I use with my Mac in OS X?
The table below indicates how many Thunderbolt displays can be connected to Thunderbolt-capable Mac computers in OS X.
Computer
Maximum connected displays
Thunderbolt-capable Macs with Intel HD Graphics 3000 integrated graphics can support one connected Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch).
MacBook Air (Mid 2011)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) and (13-inch, Late 2011)1
Mac mini (Mid 2011), 2.3 GHz
Mac mini with Lion Server (Mid 2011)
One Thunderbolt display

If you are using just a single external display and still having issues, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the this article helpful:

Brand new iMac 24 inch does not start

I went to best buy and bought the 24 inch 2.66 GHz iMac. We loved it when the apple guy gave us a demo. I brought the brand new iMac home and set it up. Pushed the power button - IMac does not power on. Tried diff options like changing plug socket, extension cord, removed and replaced power supply from back of iMac, but didnt work.
After an hour, I took the thing back to Best buy and they replaced it with a new one. Now this new one started right away and we really love this computer. Browed until late night, put it on sleep before going to sleep. Woke up in the morning, checked email and did some more browsing before I put it back to sleep and went to take a shower. After I come back and try to turn it ON, it wont turn ON. No matter what I did except this time I did not remove the power supply from the back of the Mac.
I called in for apple support as I was extremely concerned. The support guy asked me to hold the power button for 5 secs and try to power it back again. Nothing, didnt work. Next he asked me to remove all connections as well as the power supply from the back of the Mac and then turn it on. Lo and behold, came back up.
I asked the support guy as to what the heck is the problem and if this type problem has been reported earlier - he said he cannot comment on that. I really like this computer, but I am concerned as to its reliability. Anyone had similar problems? What was the problem and what did you do?

What the guy did was have you reset the SMC, the System Management Controller. It controls things like startups, shutdowns and sleeping.
Is the iMac plugged directly into a three prong wall outlet or are you using an extension cord or a cheat adapter? If you are using an extension cord, then it needs to be a proper three pronged utility cord and not a simple cord with a cheat adapter.

24" iMac mid 2007 does not read full 4GB Memory

I brought a used 24" iMac mid 2007 with 2GB (one stick of 2GB in one slot) so I brought another 2GB stick same specs as the other one and my mac show only 3GB? Does anyone know the problem? Im running Mountain Lion and all updates has been made to the system.

Apple only offically supports 4GB of RAM however on my late 2007 iMac I have had 6GB running for about 3 years and it has never given problems. I'd recommend buying the 6GB kit from www.macsale.com. The exact address is:
