Not booting 1st time

Hello,
When I power on my PC, it doesn't boot. It doesn't give any screen output, and it beeps 3 times, silences, and continues to beep 3 times. When I power it off then, and power on again, it boots normally.
I have an MSI KT4V, with Athlon 2200+, bios v1.7.
Anyone has a clue, about this weird behaviour?
Thanks.

The problem is, that I can't simulate the problem. Sometimes, when I poweron for the first time, it works smoothly.. other times, it doesn't boot, but a powercycle takes care of the problem.

Wallstreet will not boot every time - Huh!? [scratches head]

So I just placed the hard drive in my Wallstreet Powerbook. Running G3 233 mHz, 320 megs Ram, OS 10.2.9. I reloaded all the software on the computer, everything worked great. So I installed the software for my PCMCIA Wireless card and USB card. It lock up a few times, but that's probably because I don't really have enough RAM. But ended up rebooting after that crash.
The next day I went to turn it on. It powered up but a blank screen popped up with a disk and a question mark on it.... So I put a OS 9.2 install disk in it to boot it off that. It took a few trys to get the computer to recognize the disk, but finally found it. I opened the start up disk and I can see my new hard drive. I choose that, and rebooted. No problems. I surfed the web and checked email. Everything worked fine, even the USB card.
So today I boot it up again and now It will not recognize the CD drive... I can not boot off either CD or hard drive. Have anyone ever had problems like this with their G3 Powerbook?

Gauge,
Glad the replacement battery is working well.
The PRAM battery, actually called a rechargeable backup battery in powerbooks, has no reset. It is just a simple rechargeable battery without any electronics controlling it. Your Wallstreet is 9 years old and this battery may be losing its battle with Time.
Here is how the battery works and also how you can test it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30580
It is a major disassembly to replace this battery, so if having a charged main battery installed and/or always having the power adapter connected maintains your time/date, I would not be concerned about replacing the PRAM battery if it is dead.

Do not boot with time machine

Using Mac OS 10.8.5 on a MacBook.
After a full restore from Time Machine it does not boot unless it starts with Time Machine disconnected.
To be noted also tha restored files and applications were not the latest but quite old back-ups.
Majority of Time Machine history does not show-up despite it can be read using the Finder.
I had to copy most important files by copy and paste using the Finder.
Any help?

Well first you have to figure out what is wrong with the machine and solve that problem first.
Your post is very vague on what occured, and there are many types of "crashes" it really depends upon what see on the screen and what the hardware does, we can't see it to tell you, so you have to tell us.
I suggest you run through these user tips and provide more information about your hardware.

Windows and xp will not boot (1st gen Mac Pro)

i have a first generation mac pro and i am having trouble booting into my boot camp volumes.
when i run an option boot i get four icons
1. Lion
2. windows
3. windows
4. disk recovery
i have a note on my screen here that tells me the first windows icon is windows 7 and the second icon is windows xp. however, every time i click on one of these disks the screen either locks up or the icon stays selected and i have to do a /manual/ shutdown and it /usually/ will boot into whatever windows volume i had selected.
NOW when i try this i am getting windows recovery messages and when i tell it to boot into windows normally it kicks me out to a computer RESTART and then it will boot into Mac OS.
i realize i can /change/ the regular boot volume to trick it into booting back into whichever windows volume i am trying to use but at this point this all seems like things are going off the rails somehow.
i have just recently moved all my data to drive 3 and am cloning this data to drive 4. drive 1 is Lion with a partition containing windows 7 and drive 2 is a 500 GB volume containing my xp install.
SHOULD I pull out all the disks and put them back in to make sure they are seated properly? should i move them around physically in the drive perhaps? should i run some software boot restore/re-index software?
i really, really have to finish this reconfiguration of my machine but - is it possible this is simply due to the age of the computer in which case i will spend time on this after buying a new mac pro that will upgrade to Mountain Lion...
TIA, jon

this is helpful to know.

Its Grub2. So there is no menu.lst. But I found this in the grub.cfg:
menuentry "arch (on /dev/sda7)" {

Is it causing the problems ?

I deleted my download manager's list by mistake (not the 1st time) where can I retrieve the information? email removed

I erroneously deleted the list in the download manager - the position of the List delete and the Item delete are quite close and I has made this mistake before. Where is this data stored? And/or can I retrieve my deleted data?

Once deleted you can not retrieve the data. The list is stored in a file called downloads.sqlite inside the [[profiles|profile folder]].

Help! Pageload PhaseListener not caught 1st Time

I'm trying to put some initialization code in a page load(asp.net speak) event listener. The actual event i'm trying to catch the RenderResponse PhaseID of the PhaseEvents. I'm following Kito Mann's example in is 'In Action' book.
The code:
public class TechData {
public TechData()
// System.out.println("Constructor");
LifecycleFactory lifecycleFactory = (LifecycleFactory) FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.LIFECYCLE_FACTORY);
Lifecycle lifecycle = lifecycleFactory.getLifecycle(LifecycleFactory.DEFAULT_LIFECYCLE);
lifecycle.addPhaseListener(
new PhaseListener()
public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event)
initPageControls();
public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent event)
public PhaseId getPhaseId()
return PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE;
The problem is the phaselistener is being created and added(in my backing bean constructor) after of the RenderResponse PhaseID PhaseEvent fires. The event is caught and fired on all subsequent requests for that page, but I need it to fire the first time the page is requested. I'm using jdeveloper although I understand other IDEs faciltate this functionality through various means.
Any help appreciated.

It was a similar question on this forum some time ago. URL: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=427&threadID=565483

URGENT Help - navigation not working 1st time thru on deployed apps.

Using update 6, and exporting a WAR file that, by hook&crook, I can actually get to deploy on Sun Application Server Platform Edition 8.1(the 2005Q1 version) on a Linux box... the app is running under an SSL-enabled http-listener on the app server.
the app works fine on the dev machine.
on the Production machine above, the user is faced with a form and an action link... almost everytime when the user clicks the link the browser goes off into the weeds, saying "Waiting for mysite.com..." and the little animation for page loading is going....
and NOTHING happens, the app never sees the click, as in any log statements in the code don't get logged (even in the linkAction_action routine), the server is quiet, and nothing happens no matter how long you wait. It doesn't even run validation - it just hangs the browser....
if you click the stop button and do it AGAIN, it's immediate!! you get the next page in the process. (and no, I can't tell my users to keep trying...)
HELP? is this an app error or a SunAppServer issue??
This is really UGLY.
-Kristofer

yes to all of the above. but when I moved the exact same app (*exact* same war file) to Tomcat 5.5.7, under a valid SSL cert (the same 'keystore' used above) the problem vanished.
I have to "ship".
SunAppServer 8.1 ain't ready for me. Sorry.
cheers,

Thanks for getting back to me! I think you are right in that this would be a question more geared toward to the Peoplesoft folks. The post is there, so thank you for that. However, you noted a key observation that led me to want to investigate more. If we look at a past post that speaks to your observation (ORACLE Initialization or shutdown in progress I believe it gave me more clues to go by. I do shared the same thought as the poster in that, the DB should have started as the service started for the DB as already. At any rate, I ran the instructed command in SQL, I got this script:

Build Date 11/26/2007
Problem:
After being shut off for more than 2 hours my computer will not boot up on the 1st try. It goes to a message that says"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". I shut it down using the power button, wait for the hard drives to stop spinning, and then hit the power again and it starts up just fine. It will restart just fine also as many time as I want to restart it, after it has been running in windows. Once it is running, it runs terrific, no problems at all.
If you go right into the bios after sitting for a while you see this in the boot sequence, notice there is no hard drives(Nvidia Stripe)in the boot sequence.
After shutting it down and starting right back up this is what you see in the boot sequence. This pic is from a different time, thats why the boot sequence is different.
Here is a short youtube video (2:10 sec) made to help show the problem. (I called it a Cold boot Storage problem for another thread) just ignore that.
Things I have done to try to solve the problem:
1. Update the bios
2.I have moved the boot sequence around, Foppy1st, or CD 1st, ect. and even disabled the [USB:HP Photosm] in the boot sequence, Hard Drives are 1st now.
3.Replaced the Mobo Battery thinking that it was not remembering the boot sequence
4.Checked that the Hard Drives are connected to the correct plugs (6-7) on the motherboard, and that the raid connector JP1 was shorted out for Raid 0 and the blue indicator light was flashing.
* Just a note in this area. I did set up the Raid 0 with a tech from MSI because I was having an issue with the initial set up, and I did use the Nvidia raid drivers that came with the motherboard. Pchas01 in another thread thought that this could be part of the issue because it is not necessary to load the drivers when you set up the Motherboard in the Raid mode.
F10 and look in the Raid Array
5. Pulled the jumper off of JP1 and it just went to the "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" screen much faster, but would never boot up after 5 tries. Put the jumper back in and started up on the 2nd try like the normal problem.
6.Went into the On-Chip ATA devices in the bios and Changed the Raid Mode to an IDE, I cannot F10 and get into the Raid Array now, but I guess that is normal.
Now this is what my boot sequence currently looks like.
That is the point that I am right now. It runs great, games are awesome on it. Its just does not want to start up on the 1st attempt.
Thanks for any help on this
Chris aka Fritzpeed novice builder

Thanks for the reply,
I started with the easy fixes first, changed the sata cables, and tried different power supply connectors. Both tests had same results, still boots up on 2nd try. I did not know how soon the problem would re-occur after it has been shut down, my shortest time so far is 25 minutes.

Why only one RAID channel is enabled? Array can't be detected in that way...
Well right now, it is not even set up that way, in my #6 problem solving, it was suggested that I turn the Raid Mode off and try [IDE] to see if that made a difference,"because I don't need Raid enabled for the hardware raid". It did not, it only booted to the "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" window about 60 seconds faster. It is currently set up in this way.
This is how it looks in my On-Chip ATA Devices
How do I check this?
Quote
Does the problem persist when you use Silicon RAID instead Nvidia RAID?
I am still working on getting the seagate diagnostics to work, I am getting an error message before I can even test them.
I do have another question. Why is my HP Printer showing up in the Hard drive test, and also why is it showing up in my boot sequence, is this normal?
And speaking of boot sequences I got in there again just now and saw 2 [USB:HP Photosm]
Thanks again, still working on testing hard drives.

My apple tv 1st gen will not boot up the light just keeps flashing yellow

I turned the power on to my 1st gen apple tv about a week ago and the indicator light just kept flashing yellow it would not boot up I tried unplugging it letting it cool and plugging it back in, I left it plugged in for the day and it still wouldn't boot, I listened for hard drive clicking there was none, I looked at the Ifixit teardown and saw what looked like a CMOS battery, I've had a pc before with the same symptoms and replaced the battery and everything worked fine after. If anyone can provide a second opinion it would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The most likely problem is a hardware failure.

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

I got the new iPhone5 back in Dec, I hooked it up to my computer for the 1st time this wk. It deleted all new data added since Dec (notes,contacts,texts,pics, info in apps) and reverted back to all my old data. How can I retrieve all the lost data??

It deleted all new data added since Dec (notes,contacts,texts,pics, info added to apps) and reverted back to all my old data (literally uploaded all of my old texts and 1400 old pics and deleted anything new). How can I retrieve all the lost data?? Please help!!

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):
