My safe

My A5 is currently dieing, I can run in safe mode but can not open "my Safe", says the kernel is not installed.  Anybody know how to open it in Safe Mode?

Mario,
I am having the same exact problem.  I hope that we get an answer.  This software product was a mistake.

  • I tried to install latest OS update. Recd error installing. IT tried to load the upgrade in Safe Mode. Now system will not boot up. IT says I have to do a clean install which loses all data.

    After receiving an error when I try to install the latest update of OS-X, I took my laptop to oour schools IT dept. They tried to run the update in safe mode and then they got an error saying the system could not find the hard drive. Now they want to run a clean install which loses 1000's of docs and pictures. I have Block I exams in med school next Monday and all of my notes and slides are on that hard drive.
    The IT dept took the hard drive out and tried to back it up and they said they other computer could not connect or find my hard drive.
    Major panic....
    I have Norton antivirus and have never found any viruses on the system. I also have a program called ExamSoft which some other students here have noted they had similar crashes. Not sure if that is the issue...

    Several take home messages here:
    always back up before you update.
    always back up anything you don't want to lose. Kind of like flossing. Only floss the teeth you don't want to lose.
    Norton is very, very bad software, and you should get rid of it.
    You don't need antivirus software on your mac. Antivirus software on macs causes more trouble than it is worth.
    Your hard drive may be failing and thus may not be salvageable.
    You could try booting into the recovery partition and seeing if you can repair your hard drive.
    If that doesn't work, then there is a small chance that a third party utility (like Disk Warrior or TechTool) might be able to fix your drive (if it is not failing).
    If that doesn't work, you may be able to send your drive and a lot of cash to a drive recovery service and see if they can get your files off it.
    In the mean time, get notes and slides from a (smart) friend.

  • Mid 2009 Crashing but fine in Safe Mode

    Hello friendly support community,
    Having a little issue again with my mid 2009 Macbook Pro 2.53GHz intel core 2 duo system. Upgraded the system from 4gb to 8 gb about a month ago and everything has seemingly been running fine until today.
    - Shut down my system last night.
    - Went to power on this evening about an hr ago and I was stuck on the white Apple logo loading screen.-
    - Reset PRAM (reset 3 times in a row) and SMC ---- still stuck
    - Boot into safe mode--- worked then immediately restarted (via instructions from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570)
    - Boot normaly (no longer stuck on white loading screen!)----- then immediate CRASH!!!
    - Back in safe mode now (which is working fine) to submit this Help Discussion
    Here is the panic report. Any ideas. I know that yesterday I updated the Evernote app from the Apple App Store and updated the definitions in the VirusBarrier App (also downloaded from the app store a while ago). Nothing more changed. Would really appreciate the help!

  • Safe to delete file from Time Machine hard drive?

    Is it safe to delete a file from an external hard drive that's being used for Time Machine backups? The file is not a backup -- it's a .dmg from the manufacturer of the hard drive. Other than that one file, I don't use the drive for anything other than Time Machine.
    I'm just concerned because I don't want deleting the file to affect Time Machine in any way.
    Thank you.

    I have done it without issue.

  • When I login I get a message "aosnotifyd wants to use your confidential information stored in "my name" in your keychain." How do I know if it is safe to allow this? Can anyone advise please?

    Every time I login I get the message "aosnotifyd wants to use your confidential information stored in "my name" in your keychain." How do I know if it is safe to allow this? Can anyone advise please?

    My immediate reaction is to deny.
    Have you downloaded or installed any application that may relate to the abbreviation AOS? It may not necessarily be the application's name, could be the developer or distributor.
    As it's occuring at log-in, go to System Preferences > Accounts > your account > Login Items and look for a related item. If there's one there, right-click (or ctrl click) on it and select Reveal in Finder. That will show you where the originator of the item is on your system and should give you more of a clue as to what it is.
    I'd remove the item from login items anyway (highlight and click the minus sign at the bottom of the window). There shouldn't be anything trying to use your keychain info to notify anyone.

    1. You have a pre-release Beta 1 version of what will become Firefox 4 in like 5 or 6 months. Unless you are intending to test it for flaws and report those flaws to help in the development process, don't use it.
    2. Did you create a new Profile for 4.0b1, and are you using that Profile with it? ''That isn't done automatically when you install 4.0b1, and those of us who have been doing the "testing" for many years consider a new Profile as the basis of doing out testing.''
    [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles]
    IMO, Mozilla is making a huge mistake by directly offering these beta versions to the general public.
    Also IMO. if you want to play with 4.0b1, use the Portable Firefox 4.0beta version to minimize any conflicts with a currently installed version of Firefox, and to eliminate the need for creating a new Profile for 4.0 Beta #:
    Download Firefox Portable Test to your hard drive and double click the '''FirefoxPortableTest_4.0_Beta_#_English.paf.exe''' file. The entire installation (including a new Profile for "Portable") will be self-contained in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\ folder and won't interfere with an "official" version that you already have installed. Your Profile will be in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\Data\profile\ folder.
    The "down side" is that Firefox Portable won't launch if any other version of Firefox is already running.

  • TS2570 Still cant access my computer, followed instructions to perform a safe boot and last line of script it shows: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /Var/db/BootCache.playlist:2 No such file or directory. Any idea?

    Brand new Mac Book Pro
    Purchased in Mexico's Department store Liverpool on June 20th 2012
    Purchased Memory upgade to 8Gb, on june 27th, at Apple Store Memorial City, Houston
    Upgraded memory from 4Gb to 8Gb on June 28th.
    Tried to write on my external HD (previously written on a windows based PC) with no success.
    Upon reccomendation from a Mac assistant, copied all my external HD contents into my Mac Hard drive.
    Then formatted my external HD and copied back all my information to it.
    deleted all the  information from my MacBook Pro HD.
    Attempted to repeat the same operation with another external HD, but got a message saying there was not enough epace on the computer HD (even though I have a 750Gb Hard Drive.
    Looked in the trash bin and there it was, all the information previously deleted..
    Could not empty the trash bin, although I got a message asking me to safely delete all the information from the trash bin,
    Could not get enough space released, after several attpempts the trash bin was finally emptied.
    All happy getting acquainted with my new MacBook Pro. Two days later, got a gray screen and not able to start the computer.
    Looking in to Mac support I found article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and followed instructions to perform a safe boot:
    "Perform a Safe Boot
    Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to
    see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
    Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
    The following is the script that appears on the screen upon safe boot. and halt after the last line.

  • The latest answer from you to me is that my photos are safe and that I should look in a default folder. I have tried to do this but cannot find it.  How do I find the default folder.

    I received your emai stating that my photos are safe and are present in the folder on your computer that you specified when importing them. If you used Photoshop Album Starter Edition to import your files from the camera without changing the default folder, look in this folder.  I have tried looking in the default folder and there is nothing there to help. Some of these photos were scanned in from my Cannon Printer.  Surely if Adobe are requesting me to register and telling me they will send me a code no. that is all that needs to be done.

    How to communicate with Adobe office more direct? I do not want to enter into forum. Are you telling me Elements user not qualify for better services from Adobe?
    Why you relied to my questions partially only? Selective to questions? Or?????
    I repeat my previous questions that you ignored:
    How to compare Elements to CS5 or 6?
    Can I upgrade from Elements to CS?
    Is Elements 13 comes in DVD format?
    I'm interested in upgrading my Elements 10 to????
    Your advise please?
    I'm so sorry, but in today's world, the support of low cost products through personal contact has become very uncommon.  It simply does not pay to sell a product for $50 or $100 and then pay people to sit in cubicles to talk on the phone that may cost $50 or $100 an hour. 
    That said, I'll try to help for free! 
    CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 are products from the past that, as far as I know are not being updated or maintained.  Adobe has replaced them with the "Creative Cloud" or "CC".  So, if you want a current version of "Premier CC", you "rent" it for $20 a month.  For $50 a month, you can rent everything Adobe makes for photogrphers, videographers, designers and graphic artists.
    If "upgrade" means "get a cheaper price", no. 
    The easiest way to buy the DVD version of Elements 13 is to order it from a major retailer like B&H Photo or Amazon.  I've checked and both have it.   The cheapest way to buy it is to wait for holiday season pricing. 

  • SSRS - Is there a multi thread safe way of displaying information from a DataSet in a Report Header?

     In order to dynamically display data in the Report Header based in the current record of the Dataset, we started using Shared Variables, we initially used ReportItems!SomeTextbox.Value, but we noticed that when SomeTextbox was not rendered in the body
    (usually because a comment section grow to occupy most of the page if not more than one page), then the ReportItem printed a blank/null value.
    So, a method was defined in the Code section of the report that would set the value to the shared variable:
    public shared Params as String
    public shared Function SetValues(Param as String ) as String
    Params = Param
    Return Params 
    End Function
    Which would be called in the detail section of the tablix, then in the header a textbox would hold the following expression:
    =Code.Params
    This worked beautifully since, it now didn't mattered that the body section didn't had the SetValues call, the variable persited and the Header displayed the correct value. Our problem now is that when the report is being called in different threads with
    different data, the variable being shared/static gets modified by all the reports being run at the same time. 
    So far I've tried several things:
    - The variables need to be shared, otherwise the value set in the Body can't be seen by the header.
    - Using Hashtables behaves exactly like the ReportItem option.
    - Using a C# DLL with non static variables to take care of this, didn't work because apparently when the DLL is being called by the Body generates a different instance of the DLL than when it's called from the header.
    So is there a way to deal with this issue in a multi thread safe way?
    Thanks in advance!
     

    Hi Angel,
    Per my understanding that you want to dynamic display the group data in the report header, you have set page break based on the group, so when click to the next page, the report hearder will change according to the value in the group, when you are using
    the shared variables you got the multiple thread safe problem, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, according to the multiple safe problem the better way is to use the harshtable behaves in the custom code,  you have mentioned that you have tryied touse the harshtable but finally got
    the same result as using the ReportItem!TextBox.Value, the problem can be cuased by the logic of the code that not works fine.
    Please reference to the custom code below which works fine and can get all the expect value display on every page:
    Shared ht As System.Collections.Hashtable = New System.Collections.Hashtable
    Public Function SetGroupHeader( ByVal group As Object _
    ,ByRef groupName As String _
    ,ByRef userID As String) As String
    Dim key As String = groupName & userID
    If Not group Is Nothing Then
    Dim g As String = CType(group, String)
    If Not (ht.ContainsKey(key)) Then
    ' must be the first pass so set the current group to group
    ht.Add(key, g)
    Else
    If Not (ht(key).Equals(g)) Then
    ht(key) = g
    End If
    End If
    End If
    Return ht(key)
    End Function
    Using this exprssion in the textbox of the reportheader:
    =Code.SetGroupHeader(ReportItems!Language.Value,"GroupName", User!UserID)

  • Blue Screen of death - now can't load Windows (even in safe mode)

    Last night laptop (Satellite L500 19Z; Win 7 64 bit) crashed whilst playing CIV4. Got a blue screen of death; before I had chance to read any of the error messages on it the machine rebooted.
    It loaded windows in safe mode fine then, and informed me as it had loaded safe mode OK the problem will be related to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I'd installed until it would load normally. As it was late last night I shut down and thought I'd sort it in the morning (in retrospect this may have been a mistake ....).
    Today, when the machine tries to boot up it attempts a Startup Repair; unfortunately this fails every time and it says "Startup repair has tried several times but still cannot detemine the cause of the problem"
    I looked at the log it produces but it passes all the individual tests.
    I also can't access the advanced options for system recovery & support, which appears on the Startup Repair dialog box as it demands I be logged in, which apparently I'm not (presumably as the machine never got to the windows login screen before trying the startup repair). The error message reads "you must be logged in to access system recovery options. If you are having trouble logging in please contact your computer administrator for assistance. please click OK to restart the computer."
    I've had a go at booting into the various advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt etc. but the outcome is the same).
    I also tried the Repair your Computer option from the advanced boot options screen, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same login error mentioned above.
    Is there a way to repair or even run the hard disk based windows recovery (haven't got the recovery DVD with me as I'm away from home for a couple weeks) without logging into windows? I would have expected there to be but have yet to figure out how to do it.
    (there are no disks in the disk drive, no other devices attached to the laptop - I've tried it with mains power and with the battery and have not noticed any differences)
    Thanks
    James

    Normaly the reinstall data is on a separate part on your HD, not in Windows.
    The register is only used for Windows.
    If it doesn't work you can always try to reinstall from a DVD later.
    It does mean all your data on C:\ will be gone. If you can hook your HD on an other PC you can try to safe your work with a recover prog.

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • FF 15.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit) PC opens in Safe Mode but will NOT open after letting FF do reset procedure; now "stuck" in loop.

    1) FF 15.0.0.4619 on Windows PC 64 bit machine. No themes; about a dozen fairly standard plug-ins; a few extensions - fairly vanilla setup. Been having occassional problem this past week in viewing web PDFs.
    Crash occurred after some program (adobe ??) wanted to do routine update.
    2) Upon clicking FF icon pop up indicates "problem and unexpected crash" but clicking details button does NOT provide any info. Clicking on Restart FF button offers me option to Start in Safe Mode or Quit FF.
    3) Starts in Safe Mode and first time I did that FF reported Java as being disabled and NOT upto date. Did Java update/install (Java Platform SE 7 U7 10.7.2). FF still will not start except in Safe Mode.
    4) Re-booted computer ... Clicking FF icon brings up pop up with problem and crash sentence but no details. Following screen offers Reset to Default option, and upon clicking Reset it takes me back to the same pop up - so I am stuck in a loop that seems to accomplish nothing. Using Reset upon entering Sage Mode results in same loop.
    I really hate using IE so appreciate any assistance in getting back to beloved FF.

  • My MB is always starting up in safe mode... why? What to do to start-up normally? Please help.

    Few hours back i performed that, and since then it just starting up in safe mode without holding the any shift key. I have password protected log-in and each time the dialog box shown the safe mode, not the normal boot as it used to be. I restarted so many times, but same result.
    I started-up by holding down the Option key, dialog box showing the same thing "safe mode" and same result.
    I started-up in single user mode, and then typed reboot, then pressed enter/return button, but dialog box shown the same and it started up in safe mode after entering the password.
    While in the safe mode, i have selected the Mac OS X 10.4.11 from the preference pane, then restarted, but all produced the same result, same dialog box showing the safe mode.
    I couldn't take the screen shot of that dialog box that appears before starting up.
    I am currently using the internet while in safe mode, and using ethernet adapter- a AirStream 1100 F25 external modem attached to the USB port. I don't know if that is good for my MB to use internet on the safe mode.
    I used disk utility and verified the disk during the safe mode, i don't know if that is right or wrong to perform that utility in safe mode, but it all appeared as normal. You can see that from the following image.
    Few days back, i performed the disk utility to verify disk while on the normal boot. But the result shown the red marks, please see the following image for details.

    Please help me out. Let me know how to start-up normally. By the way, my superdrive is not detecting DVDs including the OS dvds, but it read and write the CDs. So, It is not possible to reinstall OS early, at least not before the having the back up of the data. Please help me with contingency plan/s or as you think fit.
    Thank you. Look forward to your reply.

    Maximillianmann,
    depending upon how full “almost full” actually is, that could be the problem.
    You can try this, if you have Mac OS X 10.7 or newer installed, to see if it’s not related to your disk being almost full: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Once you hear the startup chime, try booting into Safe mode; does it let you do so now?

  • G770 won't boot normally or in safe mode... I suspect it has something to do with the boot optimizer

    My Lenovo G770 will not boot in normal or safe mode.  I usually escape out of the boot optimizer.  Today I let it run and it went to the "starting windows" screen with a brief startup of the windows 7 animation...it freezes for a second, then a quick flash of the bsod, then to the "windows error recovery page" giving me the option of "starting windows normally" or "Launch Startup Repair (recommended)." 
    Starting Windows Normally eventually brings me back to the same place repeating what I just stated above paragraph.
    When I launch the Startup Repair it "Cannot repair this computer automatically".
    So I go to view advanced options for system recovery and support.
    It brings me to 5 options:
    Startup Repair (we already tried this above)
    System Restore (unfortunately I didn't create any restore points)
    System Image Recovery (unfortunately I haven't created an image to recover)
    Windows Memory Diagnostic (no problems found-done several times)
    Command Prompt (don't know what I can do here except for remove a bad/corrupted driver which may be the problem, but I don't know the driver name that is associated with the boot optimizer...can anyone tell me this?)
    I've tried booting to safe mode in all of its incarnations and I can't even do that..it repeats the same things as stated above...windows 7 animation briefly starts then locks up, flash of bsod, then the windows error recovery page.
    I've tried booting to last known good configuration (same thing occurs...brief startup of windows 7 animation, freeze, flash of bsod, then error recovery page.
    The only thing that has given me any kind of result was "disabling system restart on system failure."  When I do this, the BSOD doesn't flash briefly..it stays. and it gives me the error message page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.
    I'm at a loss as to what to do.  Not being able to boot into Safe Mode even is really frustrating.  Any advice from anyone?  can I remove the driver associated with the boot optimizer?  If so, what is the name of the driver and where (directory) is it located? 

    How did you resolve the issue?
    I have the exactly same issue.
    When I go System Image Recovery -->Select System Image-->Advanced->I can open all the drives [:Local Drive(C , LENOVO(D, Local Disk(E, Boot(X-where i think executable booting is here]. It comes with an Open prompt asking me to enter File Name with a File type: Setup Information.
    I don't know which setup information and where to find it on my Drives.
    Anyone know how to fix?
    I was trying to re-install Win 7 from DVD but it is not executing either.
    Can I boot with USB Ubuntu and Install Win 7 from there??? but how?
    Need help?

  • My MacBook pro will only load in safe mode with blue screen then freeze, but I can boot windows up fine and access all info on the mac side. Can anyone help?

    Hi all,
    My MacBook pro was running fine then it went very slow, I got the spinning world but it would not do anything. I tried to restart but it had frozen, so I turned off the computer by the power buttton. Now it won't boot up, it justmfreezes with a blue screen in safe mode. I have tried booting isank blue user mod and running  /sbin/fsck -fy and a couple of other suggestions from various discussion boards but nothing works. I just tried booting up in windows and it works fine, with access to the mackintosh HD.
    Any ideas on how to fix the mac side??
    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry rubbish predictive text.i meant to say I tried booting in single user and running  /sbin/fsck -fy
