My operating system does not seem to be working

My operating system does not seem to be working properly.  The system preferences cannot be accessed and itunes won't work either.
My mac is OS X Version 10.4.11 so is quite old.

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Let us know if that helps or not, or any other problems.

  • I keep getting this error message "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight" even though I have a 64 bit system?

    Netflix requires Microsoft Silverlight plug in to view their videos. Every time I try to load it I get the following error message...Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight. I have a 64bit system with Windows Vista Home Premium. Firefox 33.0 is installed.
    Any suggestions?

    Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; '''WOW64'''; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
    As said Firefox for Windows from mozilla.org is a 32-bit application. The WOW64 in UA means it is a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows.
    Before you ask if there will be a Win64 version of Firefox. If all goes well the first phase of having Win64 for Release may be as early as Firefox 37.0

  • Inst-08072 operating system does not support ipv4

    While installing obiee 11g, I get "inst-08072 operating system does not support ipv4" error. I changed hosts file and defined a loopback adapter.
    But still it is not working. Do you have any supposal for the problem?

    what is your OS? which version of OBIEE are you trying to install? did you install loopback adapter? generally this will occur in 2 cases which i have seen personally, if the right  loopback adapter is not installed or not configured and hosts files is not configured properly. i would suggest you to re-visit them once again and see.
    you can also try to install loopback adapter from here https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708322(v=ws.10).aspx  for configuration follow this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708341(v=ws.10).aspx 
    how does your hosts file look? can you paste the contents here for eg: xxx.xxx.xx.xxx hostname localhost

    Since you have not provided any actual system info not told us what version of Photoshop, we can't really know what is going on.

    Swelte82 what operating system are you using?  You will need to meet the minimum system requirements in order to install.  You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Creative Cloud.

    When you plug in earphones, or anything in the audio output port, it should be reflected in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>SOUND.  If not, try a PRAM reset.

  • "Item Help Subscription" does not seem to be working

    Hi All,
    I am on APEX 4.0.1. and trying to use the feature "Item Help Subscription" which does not seem to be working.
    Here is what I have done.
    -> Created a forms page (page 2) that has an item 'P2_NAME'. Define the "Help Text" for that item.
    -> Created another forms page (page 3) that has an item called 'P3_CUST_NAME'.
    -> In Page Definition for Page 3, Clicked on 'Edit All' icon under 'Items'
    -> Clicked 'Utilities' and selected 'Item Help Subscriptions'
    -> For Item 'P3_CUST_NAME', clicked on the LOV under 'Subscribe To' field and selected 'P2_NAME'
    However when I am clicking on 'Apply Changes' to save the changes, it is not getting saved. The 'Subscribe To' field appears blank even after applying changes.
    What I want to know is - is it a bug or have I missed something ? Is anyone using this feature successfully ?
    Any pointers or help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Ashish,
    I had created Item Help Subscription that you had mentioned.
    But I don't have any problem with this. It creates successfully.
    I am using Application Express 4.0.2.00.06

    My photo stream does not seem to be working as before with the new PHOTOS update. Some of my devices are not getting the uploads/downloads, anyone have this problem?

    Recommend that you post your question in "Photos".
    Remember, Photos is not a replacement for Aperture.

  • HT1766 My touch screen does not seem to be working. The slide to unlock will not slide

    My touch screen does not seem to be working. I can not slide to open my phone or slide to turn off.

    You have tried restarting, right? Also, try holding the home and sleep/wake buttons together for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. See if that helps. If it doesn't and you think this is a hardware problem, taking it into the Apple Store is your best bet.

  • Installati​on CD says my operating system does not support

    I just got a used HP pavillion entertainment PC. I put my installation CD for my F4180 printer in and it tells me my operating system is not compatible or something like that. Bottom line I can't use my printer.  Are there new drivers ? I really hope there is a solution. I had it installed on my other laptop, which was caught up in the middle of an altercation. It was replaced with this one. I never thought I'd be saying I miss Vista.

    Would that be the same link I posted above?

  • %@ page import="..." % does not seem to be working correctly

    Hi,
              I am running Weblogic 6.1 sp1 and I am having a problem with import page
              directive. <%@ page import="my.package.*" %> does not appear to be working
              correctly when I try to reference classes in imported packages (my.package,
              etc.) from the useBean tag.
              The following code works with Resin, but not Weblogic:
              <%@ page import="my.package.*" %>
              <jsp:useBean id="errorBean" class="ErrorBean" scope="request"/>
              If, I take out the page directive, and change the useBean tag to:
              <jsp:useBean id="errorBean" class="my.package.ErrorBean"
              scope="request"/>
              then the page compiles and runs just fine.
              Michael
              

    Here's a snippet from Sun's j2ee tutorial
              (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/JSPBeans4.html):
              <jsp:useBean id="beanName"
              class="fully_qualified_classname" scope="scope"/>
              But I agree with you, the excerpt you posted seems to include the
              useBean tag, which is misleading.

  • Automated Backup Does Not Seem to be Working

    I tried to set up an automated backup on an Azure Web App. It's on the Standard Plan. It allowed me to configure it and after I did so I got a notification saying it was set up. And I see now that it has a status of "Created". But it does not seem
    to have moved any further -- and it has been about 15 minutes.
    I did successfully get a manual backup of the site to work last night with the same configuration.
    Any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I would request you to check under backup options, scheduled backup is on.
    And also please make sure that the Backup and Restore feature requires an Azure storage account and container that must belong to the same subscription as the web app that you are going to back up.
    Do check this and let us know so that we can investigate further.

  • Operating system does not load up?

    When I turn my mac (2009) on it shows the grey loading screen but does not load up the operating system?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.
