My Satellite doesnt start any more missing or corrupt file

Hi, I have a problem which I hope someone will be able to help me out on.
My laptop (satellite) suddenly couldn't boot anymore, saying that the following file was missing or corrupt: windows\system32\config\system.
After doing some research I accessed the recovery console (using an xp cd) and tried to replace it. Making a back up of the original and replacing it from c:\windows\repair\system.bak
Now, the computer starts to boot, it shows the XP Home edition loading screen, but then the screen goes blank. And nothing happens. When I try to access the recovery console again, it asks me for the Administrator password when I try to log on to the windows installation. I then ran a program that can find the admin password and discovered that there was no admin password. However, just pressing return is denied!
I am now stuck. If anyone could offer any tips or ideas about how I can fix this, without a complete re format, as there are some important files on the laptop, that would be great!!
Cheers. I'm going crazy!

pt0608, Windows 2K/XP makes backup copies of the system registry every time it creates a system restore point located in "C:\System Volume Information" or c:\system~1 (plus a few sub-folders) so I would recommend using these files instead. For more information have a look at - http://www.digitalwebcast.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=8658-1
Since you have an XP install CD it might be worth considering creating a BartPE bootable environment - http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder
This will provide you access to NTFS drives, USB removable flash drives, networking, and a cmd.exe prompt so you can copy files at your leisure.

Quick time player doesnt start any more since kernel shock and update, the symbol looks different, reinstallation doesn´t work

hi there.
I am using a Macbook Pro with snow leopard and this is my problem:
I was having a Kernel Shock 2 weeks ago. After that, my Finder-Dashboard hasn´t work any more. I´ve did the latest update. Now Dashboard Works but Quick Time Player doesns´t do.
I Can´t find NOWHERE in the internet an installation file for Quick time player to reinstall. And I can´t find my Installation DVD.
quicktime has changed his symbol to an white picture with pensil and brush.
I have made a second Account and activeted the guest accounts and tryed there, but Quick time player isn´t here working to.
its really sad that this program doesn´t run any more.
It blinks 2 times in the dock and shut down immediately.
Can someone please help me? is my only opinion finding the Disc?

I've tested that on an iPad 1 and it seems problem is performance related. On this device a simple click to a google search result link doesn't work properly. You hit the target multiple times and sporadically it opens. You still see the focus on the object and it's activation but no event triggering happens.
All others functions are working well, only Webapps and Webpages suffer from this issue.
The owner of the device has not recognized that issue and believed it is a "feature" not a bug as he do not has much experience with Apple devices. But this confirms it is on every device and not my own personal one or dedicated to our office. The only workaround is to use other devices or touching links with different speed/pressure. It works better if you hit the objects very quick lifting the finger immediately.

Did you download the Basic/Free version?
I also thought the Trial period was as long as you needed!?
What is your Warranty and Return Policy?
You get to use VueScan for as long as you want before you buy it, so we recommend you test it before you buy it to make sure it meets your needs.

Isn't this a bit harsh? Naah I actually prefer to solve problems, and if I offer refunds, people give up too easily. If I can't solve your problem after you send a few Problem Reports (see above), I'm happy to give a refund.

Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again

10.4.7. iMac 20" CoreDuo won't start any more

I did upload 10.4.7 yesterday together with iPhoto, iPod, iTunes (6.0.5.) and some other recent updates (altogether there were five, I cannot recall the last one). At first I did notice some “ticking” inside the iMac (2.0 GB RAM) every now and then, let’s say few minutes apart. That has never been heard before. Then this morning I noticed that iTunes was very slow. I did add few of my cd’s, and when attached the cover photo to the lower left corner the iTunes did update it very slowly, I think it took 1-2 minutes to add a photo to 12-15 songs. Then I did call Apple support (case #653790xx). The call took over an hour since everything I did on my computer was like slow motion. We did use DiskRepair and looked at the Console. When restarting the iMac it took several minutes, and when using safe re-start (shift on after re-start) the OS didn’t recognize my bluetooth keyboard. Then I was given advice to reload 10.4.7 from Apple’s site and install it again. Also I was asked to do Hardware Test (from install DVD). When I did try to re-install 10.4.7 there was an error after 71% uploaded, the installer asked to do that again. Then I did Hardware Test as advised, but there were no errors found (I did extended test with looping on and took several rounds). Next, when I tried to restart iMac from hard drive (Macintosh HD 10.4.7), it stopped repeatedly on Mac OS X window. Now I’m stucked, my iMac won’t start any more (I’m writing this by Windows machine, can you imagine?!)
I don’t know what’s wrong, but I have used Macintosh from 1987 (IIcx) and never, never before I have had these kind of problems. I suggest so far, that you take care when installing 10.4.7 on Intel iMac, I guess there might be a problem. I wonder why there is not email support for these kinds of problems and alert messages…? I’ll leave sailing tomorrow for two weeks and cannot report this by phone.
iMac 20" (CoreDuo) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

After installing the security update from 21.04.2015 my Phone does not start any more

Hi everybody,
I have installed the update 10052 for my Lumia 535 DS and now it can't be started any more. When starting the phone the two gears appear and start moving but than it's turned off. This happens each time I'm trying to start the phone. Any suggestions to get
my phone running again?
Alexander Allmendinger

Hi Chris, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think your choices are to...
Reapply the Security update...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2008_008__Client_PPC
Reapply the Combo update...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if the Disk Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows what could happen!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Firefox has run before but can't start any more

Firefox has run before but can't start any more.
I tried the solutions proposed but it doesn't work

Hello,
See this help Article :
[[Firefox won't start - find solutions]]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In case you want to do something straight away, try a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
* Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
* After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
* Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
* Windows:
* C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
* Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
* Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Install Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
* Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
* Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
* Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found here.
'''''WARNING:''''' Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Hello and help!!!
iDVD doesn't start any more.
On the 20th of March my iDVD 4.0.1 worked as well as allways but on the 21/3 it any longer did not start. I tryed starting it from iMovie such as I used it on the 20/3 and it does not start either.
I ask if it can to be an acceptable attempt of solution, to drag the aplicacion iDVD into the wastebasket, to install it again from the cd's that come with the computer and finally to update it with the revision 4.0.1
Can be any relation with the version of QuickTime?
Thanks,
Joan
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.25 GB of RAM and QuickTime 7.0.1

If it were me, I would downgrade QT from v7 back to v6.x.x as that is the stable version to use with OS 10.3.9.
In addition, I would run the list of maintenance applications found in this post (or ones like them)...

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

I need to activate director MX2004 with my Serialnumber (Acitvation Server isnt available any more), because otherwise Xtras doesnt work any more

If i use the activation described at http://helpx.adobe.com/de/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.ht ml my Serialnuber is different to the one i purchased.
After the last Win7 OS Update i hade to reactivate my Director MX2004 installation as described in the link.
Then OSControl doesnt work any more with this key. (Maybe also other Xtras)
I still have several Projects built with Dir MX2004 where i have to do frequently updates.
How can i change the Serialnumber back to my Serial?

Hallo,
i am not sure any more about the exact way i did the registration.
right now i have the problem that i find now way to deactivate the director installation to try again
transfer license doesnt show any effect.
i am also a bit in a time stress, so i dont want to uninstall and install the program at the momen, as i am not sure if this will affect registration.
I am working with director since version 4 an i still have projects which i realize with director.
