Odd startup icon and issue

When I started my relatively new MacBook tonight, instead of the usual happy Apple icon, the computer stopped at an image of my hard disk with an arrow pointing to it, which I discovered I had to click to get the computer to start fully. Once I clicked the arrow pointing to the HD icon, the computer seemed to run fine, and started up normally again on another try. I haven't done anything funky with changing the designated startup disk, starting up from a network drive, etc.
What gives?

That means that the computer thought the Option key had been pressed at startup. Unless it happens repeatedly by itself, don't worry about it.

  • Odd-color icons and desktop wallpaper after Migration Assistant

    My hard drive on my Mini recently started doing the "click of death," so I replaced it with a newer drive. I completely erased the new HD and installed a fresh copy of Leopard with the 10.5.7 combo updater, then ran Migration Assistant to copy over my apps and files.
    Everything is working fine, except that some of my icons and wallpaper are the wrong colors. For instance, the Finder icon is purple instead of blue, the ladybug on the wallpaper is green instead of red, and all the buttons and icons in Firefox are also the wrong colors. I have done the usual maintenance tasks and rebooted, but they are still the same.
    Besides totally re-installing and skipping the Migration Assistant, is there a way to correct the colors?

    Actually it sounds like something odd happened with your monitor calibration. Go to System Preferences, click on the Displays preference, then click on the Color tab. Is your display's profile listed? If it is, and the correct one is selected, you might try clicking the Calibrate button and work your way thru the steps, then save as a new profile.

  • Slow system and odd startup icon

    If I'd only changed one variable at a time then I'd probably not be asking this question... but since I changed so many here goes:
    About the same time as upgraded to 10.4.8 I added a third internal drive (first one in the slower drive area near the front of my MDD G4) and installed the newest iLife suite.
    My system has slowed down amazingly... just trying to activate Finder to look at a file list, changing an active selection from Mail to Safari, opening most any app... causes a 5 to 10 second spinning beach ball.
    My only clue is a momentarily new symbol when I restart the CPU: Prior to the launching of the normal Apple screen I see a small folder that alternates with a question mark for just a second or two. Then startup proceeds normally. I thought that icon was for a problem finding the startup drive, but I've not changed where the system resides or that drive at all.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,
    Pat

    Did you also update your iLife apps and QuickTime? And did you repair permissions? Two things to do to see if you can find the source of the slow down:
    1. Create a test user using System Preferences->Accounts. Leave the test user basically as it is created, don't add contextual menus, menu extras, fonts, nothing extra. Try logging into the test user and see if the responsiveness is back to normal. If so the problem is something in your usual account rather than a system level problem.
    2. Try launching Console from your utilities folder and leave it running in the background. Are you getting any odd error messages?
    Also check to see if the drives are set to sleep when possible, make sure the check box is UNchecked in System Prefs->Energy Saver. Usually though the slow down when that is checked is intermittant rather than constant.

  • Email icon and issues

    When I try to use my IPAD email icon the screen appears and the goes away. I have tried the minus sign solution an reset, still won't work?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Odd Startup behaviour and cannot access tools- options menu

    As of this morning my installation of LV8 will not display the normal startup dialog box (allowing you to open existing VIs or open a new one), but simply opens a new VI immediately.  If I close this new NI then again instead of returning to the start up dialog it opens a second new (blank) VI.    Furthermore I cannot open the Tools->option menu from within a VI front panel.
    I've tried repairing the LV installation and when this didn't work I went for a full remove and reinstall - still no joy!
    I've also check that this is not user specific, so that when I log in as a different user on the same PC I get the same behaviour
    Help - please !!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi AMHurrel,
    This sounds rather strange. 
    Did you change anything on your setup?
    When you say you did a full remove and reinstall, how?
    These are the steps I would follow:
    The following procedure will remove the National Instrument Software:
    1.     Turn off the computer and physically remove or unplug all NI hardware that you have installed on your system.
        This includes anything that is PCI-, ISA-, USB-, 1394-, or ethernet-based.
    2.     Turn the computer on and go through Add/Remove Programs (START » SETTINGS » CONTROL PANEL » Add/Remove Programs)
        and remove everything NI-related. Generally, if you can remember, it is best to uninstall things in
        the reverse order in which they were installed. For example, if you installed LabVIEW, then NI-DAQ, and then the
        Internet Developers Toolkit for LabVIEW, you should uninstall the Internet Developers Toolkit first,
        then NI-DAQ, and then LabVIEW last.
    3.     After everything has been removed (do not be concerned at this point if an item still shows up in the
        Add/Remove Programs list after you have removed it), close all programs and restart your computer.
    4.    Go to START button of your operating system, choose RUN and type "regedit". This will open the Registry
        Editor window. Go to the Registry Menu and choose Export Registry File. Select "All" for the export range,
        and select a file name. This creates a backup of the Registry in case a mistake is made when deleting the keys.
    5.     Remove the following registry components from the Windows Registry:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\National Instruments Delete the entire tree!
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments Delete the entire tree!
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\ or \ISA and delete registry entries containing any
        keys with 1093 in them.
        Do not worry if any of these trees are not listed. Continue with the remainder of the process .
        Note: You may need to modify security policies. In Windows 2000/98/95/NT, go to [regedt32] then
        Security>>Permissions. In Windows XP you can modify security options using Edit>>Permissions in the
        Registry Editor (regedit).
    6.     Close regedit.
    7.     Make sure that you do not have any of your own VIs or other files saved in the "C:\VXIpnp",
        "C:\Program Files\National Instruments", or "C:\WINDOWS\nidaq" folders. If you do, copy them to a
        different location. If you are concerned about keeping old virtual channels and your SCXI setup intact,
        then backup the "C:\WINDOWS\niconfig.daq" file, too. Delete all folders and files mentioned above.
        Note: If you have Windows NT/2000, replace "C:\Windows" with "C:\WINNT" in the paths listed above.
    8.     Save the attached file msiBlast.zip to your desktop.
        a) Extract the file msiBlast.exe from the zip archive.
        b) Double click on the downloaded msiBlast.exe file to run the executable.
    c) Choose the Show NI Installers Only selection.
    d) Using (Ctrl+Left Mouse Click) select all National Instruments Software that appears in MSIBlast.
    e) Press the Uninstall button. This will uninstall all of the National Instruments MSI Registry entries.
    f) Optional:
    The Repair option will open the National instruments Installer Program and run the repair option within the installer.
    Maintenance Mode will open the Installer Program and allow the user to modify the installation. To open the installer do not enter anything in the Command Line Arg? Dialog box.
    9.     Reboot your computer.
    10.     You should be ready to install your software. For the cleanest possible install, first install all of your
        application development software, such as LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, etc. Do a custom install, so that you can
        install just the application WITHOUT ANY DRIVERS. Reboot your PC when requested after each install.
        Even if the installer does not tell you to reboot, it would probably be a good idea to do so anyway.
        Now install your driver software and follow the associated user manuals. Some older non Plug-n-Play hardware
        must be installed before the driver. Download the latest versions of the drivers that support your hardware
        from our Drivers and Updates software library (link below), and install them one-by-one, rebooting after each
        install.
    11.     Finally, shut down and re-install your hardware. When you boot back up, it should be detected in MAX.

  • IMac freezes on startup - icons and dock displayed, but frozen

    Hi
    My iMac has just frozen. I have tried to restart it the desktop appears but nothing else is happening.
    I hace also tried a safe mode restart but nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be extremely useful.

  • Date/time icon and other movable icons on menu bar cannot be loaded on startup,but it works if manually loaded

    Strange things happened since my mbp 13' (MD-101) was upgraded to 10.8.4 ----------- time icon, battery icon,and language icon (these icons can be moved when held Command key and drag) cannot be loaded on startup, but they still can be loaded when you get into System Preferences and manually  turn them on, as well as iStat Menus
    However, some other icons didn't bother, things like BetterTouchTool, NewsBar. They are immovable!! I guess it is the key factor that the icon is movable or not making the difference.
    Someone please lend me a helping hand?
    I've attached some pictures in order to make my situation easier to be understood.
    these icons can't be loaded on my loggin in.
    but they can be loaded manually
    however, these icons will be loaded on startup
    I've almost despaired to resolve it . Thanks for your help!

    I have a similar issue. When the computer goes into "Hibernate" mode -- that is, it loses power while sleeping and it writes the contents of it's memory to disk in order to boot into that exact configuration when woken up -- many of my icons when Apple-Tab'ing to another application appear as static. They look like a slightly colorized version of the "static snow" you see when tuning into a station that doesn't exist on a UHF antenna television. Also, icons in Chrome such as web sites "favorite icons" or favicon.ico (the icons that appear in the URL bar and bookmarks) will be scrambled in the same fashion , at first , until the actual icon is loaded.
    Between this, my menu bar and finder icons not displaying, and being unable to boot into safe mode, I'm getting quite ******. I have no idea what the **** is going on with my Macbook Pro. The issue of the scrambled icons actually existed prior to installing an SSD and doing a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I may end up throwing in the towl and re-installing the operating system but I'm sure SOMETHING will happen. It seems the latest update, 10.8.2, is absolute garbage.
    What the ****, Apple? And I really don't want to take the computer to the morons at the Apple Store. They are not "geniuses" by any measure.

  • IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

    HELP!
    I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010.  From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it.  After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy.  I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
    1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
            (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
    2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
    3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder.  When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
            photos.
    4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
    5.     Programs won't update.  They will download onto my iMac but won't update.  Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
            Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns.  Skype won't open just gives a failure
            report.
    6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
    7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
    8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
    9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
    10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
    I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something.  Or I have something malicious on my computer.
    I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive.  A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
    And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
    Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
    Thanks so much.

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    *Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
    Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
    Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
    The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

    Reset the TC to factory and start again.
    Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
    I also recommend different names for the different bands.
    So for example.
    TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
    WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
    TC5ghz for 5ghz
    You can also set the channel manually.
    If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install.

    If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
    Boot  into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as  Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
    Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

    Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Icon and menu "Ghosting" & intermittent startup display problems

    Hi all
    My Ti is almost 7 years old. 90% of the time it sits on my desk - very rarely moved. Plenty of ventilation and in an air conditioned room.
    I have a LG L1780Q digital 17 inch monitor which has been attached for the last two years. My desktop is spread across both screens.
    Within the last three months a problem with the display began to present itself - initially it was very intermittent but now the problem is appearing daily.
    everything on the desktop like icons and menu bars and dock icons become pasted with a Ghosting approximately twice the width of the icon. The mouse cursor also has a vertical pair of horizontal bars which move around with the cursor.
    This problem never effects application windows at all. The bars attached to the cursor remain when hovered over the app - However the application content is not affected at all. So the problem exists only with "desktop" items.
    The problem also manifests on both screens. About 50% of the time I can grab an application window with the mouse and drag it all over the desktops and this "wipes clean" the problem - a bit like an eraser. However, in the last couple of days even this doesn't help. 50% of the time a reboot may solve the problem but that too now is getting worse and worse. Also, occasionally on a reboot, instead of the user login window all i get is a series of broken whitish lines against the standard blue background - this is again across both screens. This is obviously the login screen but all scrambled.
    Reading the posts here I'm beginning to fear that the dreaded "replace the logic board" phrase may come up
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks.
    I love my TiBook - please don't tell me it's dying

    Hi
    Many thanks for your advice.
    First, of course you are correct - I bought the Ti in Jan 2003. It just seems like it's been with me forever!
    In response to your suggestions this is what happened:-
    Disconnected external monitor - problem still there.
    Booted from original install DVD - problem still there.
    I ran disk repair anyway - it found some errors with the catalog file entries, said it fixed them - problem still there as suspected.
    Now the wierd thing - after Disk repair i rebooted from HD without the external monitor connected. After sitting watching the spinning grey wheelie thing on the grey start screen for an hour I decided to leave it and go to bed. I don't know what time it actually booted but an hour seems an inordinately long time?
    After reboot - problem still there (pretty bad now).
    When i reconnected my external monitor, it auto detected the digital feed, screen came on for a second and then went black. Powering the monitor off and on again produced exactly the same result. If I look closely i can just make out very faintly the desktop content on the blacked out external monitor - as though the backlight has failed! Powering off and on does the same thing every time - 1 second of full brightness and content then black!
    BOOHOO!!! is my Ti dying?
    Unfortunately I don't have the Apple Hardware Test CD.
    Should I sit down in anticipation of the verdict?
    many thanks

  • Lion OS Folder Icons and Settings Change

    My new 8 core Mac Pro with Lion arrived August 29 to replace an older Mac Pro with Snow Leopard. FYI - Just before the new Mac Pro arrived, I checked and repaired any permissions issues via the Disk Utility. Once the new Mac arrived, it took four days to finally get things moved over from the main hard drive because of various problems. I held up the transfer from the other 3 drives and am glad that I did. After a bad optical drive was replaced, constant Finder problems have been occurring which appear to revolve around permission conflicts. In essence, the Mac OS on my Mac Pro appears to be schizophrenic and apparently, it is in need of a frontal lobotomy. In reviewing posts in this forum, I was surprised to learn that users have been reporting similiar issues ever since Lion was released. I was given the impression that my complaint about it was the first for the techs who have attempted to resolve the problem.
    I do a large amount of photography using the HDR technique so it is important to arrange image icons in specific groupings and order within folders. We have all gotten used to having icons in the same place or configuration in folders each time we open them. This not only gives us a feeling of consistency but is a critical time save when dealing with images and other graphic files. Unfortunately, because of some overlooked programming issue, the Mac OS Lion is confused as to what permissions it should pay attention do. While working, icon arrangements are constantly changing causing many hours of additional work without let-up. There is also an issue that happens I would call Blinking for no better of a word to use. In certain folders, icons will dissappear then quickly show again. This can happen about every 10 - 14 seconds sometimes.
    I have also noticed related problems with new software upgrades. They work fine at first, then all of a sudden, they do not. Simple slideshows exported to video using Lightroom now appear completely black. In Dreamweaver CS 5.5, I can connect to the ftp server but am not allowed to upload. I am stuck in limbo, not being able to migrate all my work over from the older computer because all folder icon layouts will be destroyed if I start working in them. It has also created licensing issues because now softwares are on two Mac Pros and a laptop. The latest tech support request is to either erase my new startup disk and installing softwares one at a time, or consider installing the more stable Snow Leopard. Has anyone figured out an answer? I have never had such a bad experience with an Apple product in over 20 years. I would highly recommend to professional graphic artists, photographers, or other visual professionals that rely on the consistency of icon views in folders to stay away from Mac OS Lion until the problems have been resolved. Hopefully Apple intends to correct this. It has already taken several months.

    What finally worked for me!
    My internal Mac hard drive is my “filing cabinet” with all folders installed by Lion (Applications, Users, System, and Library) plus my personal folders and data in each visible when I click on and open the harddrive. My internal Mac hard drive icon is on my desktop. After a restart the file and folder icons inside most of the first level of my personal folders would shrink and rearrange themselves.
    After an hour on the phone with Apple Tech Support andt rying a variety of approaches, we finally solved the problem of the shrinking and rearranged icons. (Thank you Manny!!!) This is what finally worked for me and my new MacbookPro 15-inch delivered with Lion already installed.
    BTW I use a mouse….
    Right clicked on the internal hard drive icon on my desktop. (Note: “Out of the box “ when you startup with Lion the first time the Mac Hard Drive probably will not be visible on the desktop and you have to reveal it!)
    In the dialogue box that opened I selected and clicked on “Get Info.”
    A long window opened. We looked at Sharing & Permissions at the very bottom of the window. In the “You have custom access” window my log in name was not there. This was the culprit!!! But the box was grayed out.
    At the lower right hand corner of the long window I clicked on the padlock to open it.
    A dialogue box opened with my user name and asked for my Password. I entered my Password and clicked “OK.”
    The grayed out area of the Sharing & Permissions box immediately darkened.
    I clicked on the plus sign at the bottom left hand corner of the long window.
    A window opened at the top of the long box. I highlighted my name on the right hand side and then clicked on the “Select” button.  My name then appeared in the Sharing & Permissions box at the bottom of the long window.
    To the right of my name un "Privelege" I made sure that “Read & Write” was turned on (use the little arrows.)
    Back to the lower left hand corner and clicked on the gear and when the box opened I clicked on “Apply to enclosed items.”
