Need Help... Computer NOT booting

Hello,
I recently purchased Snow Leopard and tonight I tried to boot into 64 bit mode. Unfortunately, when I changed the com.apple.boot.plist to force boot it into 64 bit mode and restarted it does not get past the apple screen... any suggestions???
I am running a core 2 duo imac 24" screen, it was bought about a year ago and it is EFI 64... it is supposed to work no?

Why do you need to use the 64-bit kernel? What you did does not force the computer into "64-bit mode." The computer is always in 64-bit mode. What you did forces the system to boot into the 64-bit kernel. Except for unusual cases this is presently unnecessary. Any 32-bit extensions, plug-ins, etc. will not work with the 64-bit kernel. Your computer is not capable of using more RAM than supported by the 32-bit kernel.
If you boot from your SL DVD, select your language and click on the Continue button, wait for the menubar to appear then select Terminal from the Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
cd /
sudo pico /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
Press RETURN after each line. If you're asked to enter your password enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
Pico is a simple text editor but you can use it to remove the boot flag line you inserted. When finished use CTRL-X. You will be prompted to Quit or Save and Quit. Choose the latter. Quit Terminal and restart the computer.

Blue Screen, computer not booting, please help!

Apologies if this question has been asked before, however I cannot see it anywhere.
I cannot get my computer to boot at all. When I turn my Macbook Pro on, it has the usual white screen with logo and underneath there is a loading bar. After around 5 mins when the bar is full, it changes to a blank blue screen and there's a circle that just spins round. This is as far as it gets. The blue screen remains.
I've tried carrying out some troubleshooting in the apple manual, I checked that it was a hardware issue but it said no issues found. I've tried to start the computer in safe mode (not sure why) but i'm at a loss.
I would appreciate anyones help if possible, I have only just had my iMac repaired and don't want to pay another small fortune sorting this one to.
Many thanks

Hey Princess,
Just went through this same scenario myself. I took it into the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store, and the only solution he knew of was to erase the hard drive (after determining that the hard drive wasn't indeed dying), then reinstall the OS, then for me to go home and update from my Time Capsule to replace files (which I hadn't backed up to for a couple of months *sad face*).
Anyhow - you may want to give the Genius Bar a try.
You could also start up from a DVD/OS to run any repairs using disk utility/First Aid to see if there might be some corrupt files that need replacing and see if that does it.
Good luck!

HP G71 Notebook computer not booting Windows 7 asking for installation disc

Suddenly I was getting////// like this in the search window, tried to run Norton, it seems to get stuck so I turned it off and then tried to restart, it made strange noise signal, beep..beep, which I never heard before After repeated trials got into memory check message , and it went though and appeared fine, but still could not boot it, somehow got a message
that battery is low needs to be changed, followed HP instruction from another computer to drain and replug, but contine to get message that Windows failed to starte, the start program may have been changed, need to insert Windows Installation disc, which I don't seem to have with me presently , probably misplaced,as the computer was bought some 10+ years ago.
What do I do, and how do I recover my documents, even if it is fixed. Appreciate any advise! Not very computer savy at age 79.

Hi @Taslim,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a wonderful place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that when you tried to start your notebook that Windows failed to start and prompted you to insert an installation disk. You tried doing a hard or forced reset but to no avail. You do not have your recovery CD/DVD disks to insert as computer is 10+ years old.
You can try doing a recovery without the disk. HP PCs - Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7)
The recovery process will present you with the opportunity to backup your personal files to prevent data loss so you will not need to worry about losing your information if you choose that option.
HP PCs - Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)
If you are not able to access the recovery option you will need to contact HP support to acquire a recovery kit.

Computer not booting

I have an external drive that ceased working.
It was suggestd that I remove it from its case and connect it directly.
The only way I have of connecting it is in my old blue&white G3 mac.
I removed the 2nd drive and put in the external drive.
I changed the jumpers as noted on the drive to make it a slave with a main drive.
This was the way the G3 was set up orignally.
I couldn’t get the computer to boot, so I re installed the old drive.
Now, on start up, get a blinking Apple face and then a ?.
After about 10 seconds it begins to boot.
It goes thru loading eveything until it gets to “login window starting”.
This message stays on for over 15 minutes, and then it goes to a blue screen with nothing on it, and the cursor is frozen.
I’m fairly certain that I put both HDs back the way they were.
The IDE cable has 2 connectors, other then the one that connected to the mother board, is it important which goes to the main HD and which one goes to the slave drive?
Also, does this hold for the power cords?
Please advise.

Is holding down the shift key the way to boot from the CD drive, I don't really remember?
c key is for booting from a CD/DVD, Shift key is Safe Mode in OSX & Extension Manager in OS7-9
Strange, that no matter what changes I make on the computer it always looks for the startup drive before beginning to boot. Does this indicate anything?
Generally PRAM setting or PRAM battery...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAA36VPRAM/
I can't find it now, but the B&Ws needed a Firmware update to run OSX beyond 10.2.x, but a moot point if this one ever did boot from 10.4
Do you think I should install OS 9.2 and see if that works?
Will it install over 10.4.10 that is already on the HD?
I think I'd try it, in theory it shouldn't overwrite OSX's files.
In the ulitilies folder there Drive Set Up, do you think that may be of any help?
That is what you'd use if you wanted to Erase & Install again.

TS1702 how can I get anyone to give us answer on the iphone apps casino game we purchased few days ago which once the token was finished we were not able to reset and play just for fun and not for gambling. we need help and not to be charged additional

Usually we will get basic tokens to play the game, and if we ran out of the tokens all we need to do is going into "manu" and "setting" selete "dream" and reset that we should be able to continue play the game with same amount of the basic tokens. The one game would not let us to go back to the game. There were msg came out said" game center requires an active connection to the internet"? I didn't feel comfortable because we purchased the game for $1.99 to play for fun and not to gamble. We do have credit card on your file. We don't want to be charged alot of money for something not in our well. I need help to answer the question on the following:

Thank you for your help and looking forward to hear from you!

400GB of photos. Want to backup to external hard drive. Need help. Not very computer savvy. Thanks

I have 400 GB of photos in iPhoto and simply want to back them up. I have a 1TB external hard drive and am wondering what is the simplest way to do this. Can I save the photos to the External Drive and them delete them from iPhoto? I need to free up space on the internal drive. Thanks

You can use Time Machine to backup, that does not mean that you can delete photos from iPhoto to save space however.
Plug the drive into your Mac and turn Time Machine on, that is all you need to do as far as backup is concerned.
You will need a second drive for your iPhoto library if you wish to keep access to all photo's, all of the time.

I Desperately Need Help - Can't Boot my iMac

Greetings Everyone. My apologies for making my debut on this board with a desperate plea for help but I think I just killed my iMac right in the middle of an important project. I'm accessing this board with my laptop PC (and you know I'm in a bad way when I have to revert to anything PC!)
I was trying to move some photos from iPhoto onto a CD. One photo would not move - computer said it was 'busy.' I couldn't delete it or anything so I force quit to see if I could start over.
The machine did reboot okay, so I thought perhaps I should try to restart in in OS9 (Im using 10.3.8 or 9 (can't remember and can't boot to confirm.) because I read somewhere that sometimes rebooting in OS9 will correct whatever has 'hung' in X - for lack of a better description.
Well, that's when it crashed. When I try to boot it the entrance sound makes its bong and the the light blue screen comes on and just sits there and does nothing, no matter how long I wait.
I tried to force boot it by holding in the start button until the list of instructions came on the screen. Tried typing mac-boot as instructed, and nothing happened. I tried three times. Then I tried shut-down and it did shut down.
That's as far as I can get. I hold in the start button until it makes a beeping noise, then it bongs, then the blue screen comes on and just sits there.
Have I fried my machine or is there any hope?
Can you tell I'm just about frantic???
Thanks for your patience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in a fairly remote rural area with no Mac dealers within 200 kms - so I'm really stuck on this one.

Tried a few more tricks and finally got it to boot.
I held down the P R Apple & Option keys and waited for the second chimes. Nothing happened.
I disconnected everything but the mouse and keyboard and tried rebooting again.
Lo and Behold it worked.
I think the HP printer cable might be faulty, but don't know for sure what is actually going on.
This whole problem started because my printer suddenly died. I tried to remove then reload the software but kept getting the message that no device was attached, even though it was.
So I decided to save all my hard drive info onto CD's then reload the system software. Everything came to a halt when I couldn't delete the 'busy' image.
So for now, I'm back in business. Whew!
If anyone has any idea what on earth is going on I'd sure like to know. Do printer cables just go bonkers for no reason? And why would an image from iPhoto be 'busy' when I tried to delete it. Is that image doing something naughty that I need to know about?
I think I need a nice cold beer!

[SOLVED] Need help with rEFInd boot entry for rsync backup

I made a successful backup my arch install to an other internal SSD disk (from my HDD).
But now I can't figure out how to make a boot entry for this drive. The wiki only mentions GRUB, which I do not use.
This is the fstab for my HDD:
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda5
UUID=c1822e3c-e037-4445-bdd8-b71778237dee / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda2 LABEL=SYSTEM_DRV
UUID=D2DF-9F74 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
And this is the fstab on my SSD which I edited:
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sdb1
UUID=c61a1301-4728-465d-b40b-bde5e084eb50 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda2 LABEL=SYSTEM_DRV
UUID=D2DF-9F74 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
But I'm not sure about the /boot entry, do I need something else here?
Afterward I tried updating rEFInd by reinstalling using refind-install, but that did not work.
ps. I dual boot with Windows.

I also tried adding the menu entry manually by editing refind.conf but that didn't work. I got:
Invalid loader file!
Error: Not Found while loading vmlinuz-linux
Here is some additional info:
refind.conf:
menuentry "SSD Arch Linux" {
icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_arch.png
volume "ArchSSD"
loader /boot/vmlinuz-linux
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
options "root=/dev/sdb1 ro"
I hope this helps.

Need help please - not understanding Libraries, etc.

I need to find someone who can help me out because I can’t for the life of me find a customer support phone number for ipod help (imagine that!). Anyway, my hubby got me this great ipod for Christmas, the big one that holds everything. I have finally gotten good at bringing 10-15 cds into work with me everyday and downloading them on my ipod while I work. This has been going great, as I have about 600 cds I want to get downloaded so I can get rid of all the cds. Well, last week, my computer was running really slow and I noticed that there was a “My Music” file in my documents folder and it was HUGE! Every time I was downloading something to my ipod, it was also copying it there. So, I deleted that Music folder from my computer, as I didn’t want to get in trouble here at work for having it on there. When I did that, I apparently deleted the files that my ipod Library reads from. Now, I know this isn’t a huge deal if I had copied everything over to my ipod Music file, out of the library music file. But, there were a few songs I had not copied over, a few I had bought, so I guess now they are lost forever? Also, why can’t my ipod music file serve as the library as well and why can I not use any computer to so this? I can’t store music files of this size on any computer anywhere, work or home, so what am I to do?

The concept of the iPod is a mobile version of your iTunes library - which is stored on your computer. So when you import CDs you are importing them to your computer, as you discovered, in your My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music directory. By default, when you attach your iPod, iTunes syncs your iPod to the contents of the library you created on your PC. There are options which control the compression ratio of the songs which controls the overall size of the library (and the sound quality of the songs).
If you are concerned about storing your library on your work PC it would be better to use your own PC at home. If you don't have room for your entire library, you can either buy an inexpensive external hard drive, or select the "Manage contents manually" iPod preference so that you can delete your files once they're on the iPod. But this is dangerous if you don't keep a copy of your library burned to a CD, because (again, by default) music is copied only from iTunes to your iPod, not from the iPod back iTunes. There is software you can buy to do this, but that's another topic. If you delete your library then reconnect your iPod, the contents of the iPod are lost because iTunes is syncronizing the iPod to itself.
I can't answer your question about purchased music, because I only use my own CDs (purchased music is too compressed for my taste).
Since you haven't gone too far in creating your library, I would start over, at home. Import everything, add your album artwork, adjust all the information (like genres) to your liking, then backup your library to DVD or CD. An easy way to do this is to create a playlist and drag all your music into it, then select "burn playlist to disc" and follow the instructions.
Another good thing to do (before you start) is go to the "Importing" preferences and select the default bitrate iTunes will use. 128Kbps is the default, which is the highest compression (and lowest quality). Try a few other bitrates (importing the same song, preferably of acoustic instruments, over and over) and see what bitrate you like. To some, 128 is good enough. IMO, 224 is a good compromise. The average compression rate is about 8:1 and it sounds good (to me, anyway)...

Satellite A200 - need help with USB boot

Hi to all,
I have a startup problem with my Satellite A200.
I am booting from my USB key. It is bootable Linux to install the tutorial is this:
Insert the USB key or drive you want to boot from.
Restart the computer.
During startup, when prompted, press the appropriate button to display the "Boot Options". Usually it is F2, F8 or F12 (be displayed on the splash screen).
In the boot menu, select the drive to boot from.
The computer will now boot from the USB key or the first disc to change the boot priority back to boot from the hard drive. Perform the procedure again, but to choose the hard drive in step 4 the computer will now boot from the first hard disk.
My problem just part shift to the right that when it restarts with the USB key plugged remain frozen and Toshiba screen is displayed but it does not load anything.
F2 I want to access the BIOS it makes me please wait but nothing happen. I'm nothing like 1hr wait for F12 boot selections except that all boot are marked exceptions to the FDD one on which I want to boot.
So I find myself facing an impasse because for Toshiba loads must be connected to nothing which is silly because I want to boot on my key.
If someone has a solution...

I check everything has nothing to report ...
everything that was to change on this pc is memory ram replace a 2gb because before that I had 256mb ram memory so not much ^ ^
yes he in the bios (f2) I fdd but by regarding the boot menu (f12) I unfortunately do not have fdd :/
missing entry fdd me in the start menu :/ there no means a small file download is placed on the hard disk to show the "fdd" entry?
Here is my menu (f12):
internal hard disk
CD-ROM
LAN
I even tried to run as my key with each entry in cases where but after a few seconds it gives me windows vista: (
my pc probably lack a forgotten entry in the factory or whatever ^ ^
if someone has a solution ^ ^
thank you

I need help with the boot setup in BIOS

I am trying to reinstall windows 7 back onto my sister's laptop, The BIOS Version is 3.5
I went to the boot order to put the cd/dvd rom in the first boot order and then the notebook hard dive second, selecting f 10 to save and exit. When the computer boot up to go through it process, it goes to a screnn saying that boot device cannot be found, please install a window operating system (3F0) Going back to the BIOS and setting the BIOS to default, selecting f 10, save and exit. Goes through the boot up getting the boot device cannot be found.....
Again I go through the BIOS to the boot order and moving the cd/dvd rom first and the notebook hard drive second and selecting the f 10 to save and exit. Anyway, I still get Boot Device Cannot be Found, Please Install a Windows Operating System (3F0).
Can someone please help me or is this a lost cause.

Hi,
Rather than setting the boot priority in the bios menu, try the following and see if there's any change.
Remove the installation dvd and shutdown the notebook.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.
Insert the Windows DVD.
Select the Boot options menu ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter. You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
Regards,
DP-K
