Occasional missing start-up chime

Every now and again - without any obvious cause that I can think of, the G5 starts up without its customary chime. Nothing wrong with the machine as far as I can tell - on checking System Profiler Diagnostics says "start-up test passed" each time.
1) Any ideas why this happens, and, more importantly,
2) should I be worried about it?

1. Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan...
See which one your G5 has...

2. No, not really by itself, unless it is the Battery, which can have very strange effects on G5s.

  • Blank Screen after start-up chime, won't start

    I'm rather perplexed as to what's happened to my PowerBook. I'll run throught it
    PowerBook 12" 1.33 768
    Background:
    I've just updated it to 10.4.4, which caused it to get stuck at the Apple symbol and spinning wheel. I had to restart in single user mode and run applejack, restart again and it was fine.
    Recently the PowerBook started to not wake from sleep, I'd have hold down the power button then restart it. I thought it had done teh same thing today, but this time it makes the start-up chime but gets no further than a blank (dark, black) screen.
    I tried inserting the Mac OS X CD and start up holding down the C key, but still same blank screen (with the added benefit that I'm now unable to remove the CD)
    I tried plugging it into an external monitor, but nothing.
    I've tried resetting the Preference RAM and the PMU. With some limited success. On occasion after resetting the PRAM, turning it off then back on, it starts with something like a extra blow of air from the fan and white blank screen instead of a black one. It then won't turn off at all, the only way is to pull the power and the battery.
    I've noticed that when the ac adapter is plugged in and i've the white screen it flashes very quickly, orange.
    I tried starting in Tartget disc mode connected to an iMac, the disc doesn't appear.
    I tried starting up with an external firewire drive attached, nothing.
    I've tried starting holding the keys for open firmware mode, nothing.
    I've removed the AirPort card, no change.
    I removed the extra 512mb RAM with no change.
    The screen is clearly working, has anyone any ideas how to get it started?
    Any help would be appreciated, it's a second hand PowerBook and so has no AppleCare.
    Cheers
    Stuart

    I had the EXACT same problem happen to me, Stuartea71. My PowerBook crashed on the on Feb. 4th and I still can't figure it out. I had just dowloaded the 10.4.4 update, bought iLife 06, and ordered a new battery.
    I tried every single thing that you did above. I finally called customer support, and walked me through a few things which I had already tried, but she finally pin pointed something in disk utility that I missed. My disk would not mount. In red letters it said "failing." She told me that was a internal HD problem that needs to be fixed by a certified tech.
    I did something I'd never done before. I put my HD to sleep to optimize battery performance. I work with podcasts and downloaded a large file. Unfortunately I forgot my battery setting. I chalk it up as a lesson learned, and just bit the bullet and ordered a MacBook Pro.
    BTW... if you all customer service they basically read directly from the Apple Website. I paid $49 dollars for someone to tell me my mac was broken and send it in.

  • Missing start boundary exception, caused by an empty Part, how to handle?

    Hello,
    i wrote an application that automatically handles mails from laboratories. The only essential part of the mail is the attachment, where chemical analyses are submitted (from permitted addresses, recognized by whitelist and fileheader of the attachment). Other ways to submit data weren't allowed.
    Currently a mail was received that can't be parsed. It's from a laboratory, that
    use its provider's (a german internet suplier named Arcor) webmail, a browser-based mailing portal. It always worked fine, because they wrote some greetings. But this time they sent a blank message. The result is following structure of the mail:
    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
    boundary="----=_Part_50112_10709369.1203586767396"
    //Some X-Flags
    ------=_Part_50112_10709369.1203586767396
    Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
         boundary="*----=_Part_50111_24141780.1203586767396*"
    ------=_Part_50111_24141780.1203586767396--
    ------=_Part_50112_10709369.1203586767396
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=somefile.bin
    ABCDEF.... //Some binary data
    ------=_Part_50112_10709369.1203586767396--
    It seems the webmailer creates an empty mailpart and only writes the end boundary (Line: ------=_Part_50111_24141780.1203586767396--).
    I know, the start boundary is really missing.
    I checked it out by getting a mailaccount from Arcor, and it always creates this structure when sending a message without a text. By the way, the Message-ID (header) generated from Arcor's server seems to be from javamail. (.....1234.567890.....JavaMail.ngmail@....).
    I don't know how many mailclients create "empty" parts, but impossible is nothing (e.g. other or future webmailer services).
    But how to handle?
    The error occures when calling MimeMultipart.getCount(), which causes to parse the mail if not parsed. All actions, which cause the mail to be parsed, will end in this exception (for this mail).
    I looked at the javamail source and found out, that the line of the empty part is not recognized as a boundary, because of its ending delimiters:
    if (line.equals(boundary))
    break;
    So the boundary is added to the preamble. It goes on with reading lines from the stream, until line == null.
    if (line == null)
    throw new MessagingException("Missing start boundary");
    Because there is no test, if the line matches the end boundary, it's not recognized. Wouldn't it be better in this case, to add an empty bodypart and set a variable to false (e.g. complete) instead of throwing an exception? Because MimeMultipart.parse() is called by other methods, like getCount, getBodyPart and writeTo, I can't nearly do anything automatically with the mail. How should i walk through the bodyparts and fetch the parts I'm interested in?
    Subclassing seems to be difficult to me:
    Object content = message.getContent();
    //javax.mail.Message, won't return a subclassed multipart
    if (content instanceof Multipart) {
    //recursive method!
    handleMultipart((Multipart) content); //collecting parts from multipart
    Of course, I could ask the laboratory: "please send me a greeting!" ;-)
    Greetings,
    cliff

    Interesting.
    Yes, it's probably a bug that JavaMail allows you to
    create a multipart with no body parts, since the
    MIME specification doesn't allow that. Still, the
    webmail application should be fixed so that it doesn't
    try to do that, at least including an empty plain text
    body part.
    Please contact the webmail provider and tell them of
    this bug in their application.
    I'll also look into making JavaMail cope with these
    broken messages more gracefully. Contact me
    at [email protected] and I'll let you know when
    I have a version ready to test.

  • How can I solve a "org.jvnet.mimepull.MIMEParsingException: Missing start boundary" when using "Page Attachments to Disk"?

    I have built a streaming MTOM enabled web service for downloading large files. I also built a client that uses that service (with MTOM and streaming feature). Everything works, when the client calls the web service directly.
    Then I have set up the OSB, so that I can call the service through the OSB. I have build a Business Service and a Proxy Service. For the Business Service, I use "XOP/MTOM Enabled", "Include Binary Data By Reference" and "Page Attachments to Disk" to prevent the OSB from loading the whole data into memory.
    If I do not use the "Page Attachments to Disk" option, the download works, but I assume everything is loaded into the OSB memory.
    When I use the "Page Attachments to Disk" option, I receive the following error message

    can any one please help how i can fix this.

    Right on all counts. I have been able to resolve #1 and #2 using the prescribed workarounds.
    I'm still persuing #3 This seems to be the most common issue, as our application receives dozens of these each day. Our mail administrator gave the "it's working with everything else" response - of course everything else is probably not using the IMAP interface... If anyone has had a similar problem with Trend or Sophos specifically, let me know. I will need to output the raw IMAP stream, find the specific RFC 2822 violation and take it to the vendor. Any setting on the JavaMail side to compensate for the problem, would of course be helpful. I have to be careful not to break working messages that have file attachments, though. It's possible that my attempt of the workaround you described was incorrect - I'll go back and try it again with a simpler code example.
    #4 I've not had success with JTNEF yet, but I'm not sure if it's even still a problem after the workaround for #2. Anyway, that one seems to be infrequent so it's low priority for me.
    #5 As you mention in the other thread: this is a problem with a couple of email clients (Thunderbird and Apple Mail, possibly others) - maybe they are using a common library? Anyway, I'm going to try out the workaround posted in that thread if I can get more specifics.
    It would be nice if the various workarounds could be handled within JavaMail, a global LIBERAL=true setting : ) , although I understand that could be a never-ending project for JavaMail considering the number of vendor problems. Also such workarounds could certainly cause "code entropy" within JavaMail code. Getting the vendor to fix their product also kind of depends on whether or not I have 'business leverage' on the buggy software. In my case, for example, I can apply leverage on virus gateway vendors to fix their product, but not on customers who are sending me incorrectly formatted emails and have the option of going elsewhere for business.
    In any case, thanks for all the help - it has been greatly appreciated.

    I can correctly read the mime file at windows OS,but in linux OS i got the following error Message:That would suggest one or more of the following.
    1. An end of line problem. Something is wrong with your use of CR/LF.
    2. A line length problem (brief look suggests a 998 limit.)
    3. One reader is more lenient than the other. This goes back to 1 and 2.

  • Correct way to copy Multipart and prevent Missing start boundary Exception

    Hi there
    I've worked through the FAQ's and forum and based on the info available tried to construct code to deal with the whole "javax.mail.MessagingException: Missing start boundary" problem. I keep on getting a ClassCastException though and was hoping you could scan through the code and let me know if you see anything. I must be missing something ... simplified extract of code below:
    Multipart mp = (Multipart)part.getContent();
    try {
         for (int i = 0; i < mp.getCount(); i++) {
              processBodyPart(wrapper, mp.getBodyPart(i), i);
    } catch (MessagingException e) {
         // Converting Msg to a Copy (to fix boundary)
         ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         part.writeTo(bos);
         byte[] bytes = bos.toByteArray();
         MimeMessage newMsg = new MimeMessage(emailAccount.getSession(), new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes));
         String ct = newMsg.getContentType();
         newMsg.removeHeader("Content-Type");
         ct = ct.substring(0, ct.indexOf(";")); // Strip out the rest, only retain the content-type
         newMsg.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(newMsg.getContent(), ct));
         Multipart testMp = (Multipart)newMsg.getContent(); // <<-------- ClassCastException here!!
         for (int i = 0; i < testMp.getCount(); i++) {
              Part bp = testMp.getBodyPart(i);
              processBodyPart(bp);
    }Much appreciated.
    Marius

    I took out the truncating part to make the example shorter,
    but I did try both keeping it as it was, as well as truncating
    it (it is "multipart/mixed") with the same effect.
    I was able to save the entire message to file (thanks), attached
    below - maybe you can spot something that could be causing it?
    Thanks again.

  • .MessagingException - Missing start boundary when loading a mail twice

    Hi!
    I have found a very interesting behaviour. When parsing a multipart mail twice, there is an error "javax.mail.MessagingException: Missing start boundary". This happens for every multipart mail which is fetched via POP3 and seems to be independant of both POP3 Server and the mail client the message was built with.
    Environment:
    debian linux, amd64, java 1.6
    latest javamail from https://hg.kenai.com/hg/javamail~mercurial
    Test program:
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.mail.*;
    public class Mailtest {
         private final static void loadMail(Part p) throws Exception{
              Object content = p.getContent();
              if (content instanceof Multipart) {
                   Multipart mp = (Multipart) content;
                   int cnt = mp.getCount();
                   for (int u=0;u<cnt;u++) {
                        loadMail(mp.getBodyPart(u));
         public final static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
              //System.setProperty("mail.mime.cachemultipart", "true");
              java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
              Session mailSession = Session.getInstance(props, null);
              Store store = mailSession.getStore("pop3");
              store.connect("pop3srv", 110, "username", "pwd");
              Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
              folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
              Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages();
              for (int i=0;i<msgs.length;i++) {
                   /*if (msgs[i] instanceof com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Message) {
                        System.out.println("inputstream");
                        InputStream in = msgs.getDataHandler().getInputStream();
                        in.close();
                   System.out.println("i=" + i + " try = 1");

    I thought that the 2 code blocks which are commented might be a workaround, but nothing changed if both blocks are active.
    BTW: What is "mail.mime.multipart.bmparse" supposed to do?

    Yes, thank you, that's a bug introduced in the (not yet final) JavaMail 1.4.4 release.
    I've fixed it. I'll push the fix soon.
    mail.mime.multipart.bmparse is a property to control whether the old (slow) multipart parser
    is used, or the new (fast) Boyer-Moore multipart parser is used.

    My iMac turns on the start up chime sounds, you see the apple icon on the screen and then it just shuts off.  Any ideas?

    Do these two resets:
    SMC RESET
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    PRAM RESET
    Zap the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Multipart/report - Missing Start Boundary - MultiPart.getContent()

    I am writing to you in regard to an issue that I have been facing recently, and I wanted to see if the JavaMail developers / community could provide any answers.
    Does JavaMail support the multipart/report MIME specification (RFC 1892)?
    The reason I ask, is that I have seen a strong correlation between errors in JavaMail and this content....
    I am getting Missing Start Boundary exceptions when I execute this code on a message that has this Mime Type in it, (multipart/report)
    mp = (Multipart)part.getContent();
    count = mp.getCount(); // THIS IS WHAT THROWS THE ERROR
    An example of this message header, would be
    X-Atlas-MailScanner-From: [email protected]
    Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status;
    boundary="==IFJRGLKFGIR5607UHRUHIHD"
    ** NOTE HOW BOUNDARY IS SPECIFIED UNLIKE THE OTHER SECTIONS WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE MISSING START BOUNDARY EXCEPTION **
    --==IFJRGLKFGIR5607UHRUHIHD
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    --==IFJRGLKFGIR5607UHRUHIHD
    Content-Type: message/rfc822
    I have seen older posts that talk about other people's problem regarding this Exception; however, have not seen an abstract way for circumventing the issue.
    Any insight/future development intentions/experience in dealing with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    RR

    I'm getting the same exception on several "bounce" messages I try to access with JavaMail. I believe that some of them are flat-out wrong in their MIME encoding, as there truly is no start boundary. However, some appear to be OK and causing JavaMail to give an exception. Should this be logged as a bug?
    Here's an example similar to yours (I didn't include all the received headers and several addresses are munged):

  • Missing start Boundary exception

    Hi all,
    I am evaluating an e-mal archiving software that utilizes javamail. I am getting a high number of messages that don't get archived, due to the Missing start Boundary exception.
    Now I know, that often times e-mail messages don't get correctly constructed, but the sheer number of rejected messages really struck me.
    So I gathered a message and loaded it into a text editor to check the boundary structure myself.
    I have stripped the message down to reflect the boundary structure and I would like to know, if I missed anything, but I can't find out why javamail complains about a missing start boundary.
    I could post the complete message as well, if my example should not be suitable for examining this issue.
    So, here we go:
    Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; micalg=sha1; boundary="------------ms020608030602020702090804"
         This is a cryptographically signed message in MIME format.
         --------------ms020608030602020702090804
         Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------070406040008020802000107"
              This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
              --------------070406040008020802000107
              Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
              Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
              Test f=FCr mailArchiva III
              --------------070406040008020802000107
              Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="============_CoolerEmail_============"

    Hi Bill,
    well, yes. It's one of a huge amount of messages being rejected. Actually I am not a programmer, but I try to deal with an archiving solution called mailArchiva. This software uses javamail and the mails get into the software using a postfix milter.
    I wanted to make sure that my gateways don't mess up these messages, prior getting into negotiation with the developer about what could be wrong along the way.
    I will now contact him and see, if I can get any more logs from the software.
    Thanks,
    Stephan

  • 17" 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo iMac not making start up chime

    Hey. I couldn't find an appropriate thread for this in the software issues board (since it seemed more like a software problem), so I came here. Anyway, my iMac no longer makes the startup chime. This isn't really a problem, but I do miss the startup chime. Thanks.

    It might be that the initial system volume level is low or off.. that has happened to my Mac once or twice... lets hope it is.

    Startup chimes (or lack thereof) in conjunction with other symptoms may be a precursor to some issues. Just so you can look over it.

  • How do I Stop 'Start up Chime' on OSx 10.8.5

    How do I Stop 'Start up Chime' on OSx 10.8.5
    I used to have it disabled on previous mac systems fine.
    I want system sounds to still hear email alerts and facetime calls, but stop the annoying loud startup chime.
    Any suggestions please. (startninka app didnt work!!)

    CHIME CRIME update
    no luck as yet! Working at home office and early starts are awful with the Chime so loud!!!!
    I tired the adding programme to Terminal...did not work.
    Also 'Chime Stopper'- (yet to test) https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13170/startup-chime-stopper
    But...
    I found last night the 'Startup Pref Pane' in System Prefs... this should stop the 'Chime Crime'
    so i can only test this and see what happens
    This could be the answer for OSX 10.8.5....
    Will update you all if it works

  • Can not turn off, disable, mute, STOP the Apple boot start up chime on MacBook Pro using Yosemite 10.10.1

    I understand why Apple forces the boot chime upon us for marketing and diagnostics, but I really want to disable the start up chime when booting my MacBook Pro laptop.
    I have tried the sudo commands that worked in Mavericks.
    nvram SystemAudioVolume=%80
    and
    nvram SystemAudioVolume=%00
    They do not work with Yosemite.
    I have also tried muting my laptop before shutting down and muting the sound entirely in System Preferences.  This method does not work either.
    Every time I boot the laptop I have to annoy every one in the library, or the cafe, or the airport, or the workplace.
    Anyone have a solution for this?

    I did that prior to posting, and the choices are very limited, or unreliable based on comments.  There doesn't seem to be an app that can do this for 10.10.1 StartNinja was the only app that seems decent, but doesn't list Yosemite as a supported OSX version. I would like to avoid using an app to accomplish this anyway.
    Then you are out of luck.  Apple does not provide an on & off option or software regarding the start up chimes.
