Operating system does not load up?

When I turn my mac (2009) on it shows the grey loading screen but does not load up the operating system?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

I keep getting this error message "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight" even though I have a 64 bit system?

Netflix requires Microsoft Silverlight plug in to view their videos. Every time I try to load it I get the following error message...Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight. I have a 64bit system with Windows Vista Home Premium. Firefox 33.0 is installed.
Any suggestions?

Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; '''WOW64'''; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
As said Firefox for Windows from mozilla.org is a 32-bit application. The WOW64 in UA means it is a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows.
Before you ask if there will be a Win64 version of Firefox. If all goes well the first phase of having Win64 for Release may be as early as Firefox 37.0

Inst-08072 operating system does not support ipv4

While installing obiee 11g, I get "inst-08072 operating system does not support ipv4" error. I changed hosts file and defined a loopback adapter.
But still it is not working. Do you have any supposal for the problem?

what is your OS? which version of OBIEE are you trying to install? did you install loopback adapter? generally this will occur in 2 cases which i have seen personally, if the right loopback adapter is not installed or not configured and hosts files is not configured properly. i would suggest you to re-visit them once again and see.
you can also try to install loopback adapter from here https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708322(v=ws.10).aspx for configuration follow this https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708341(v=ws.10).aspx
how does your hosts file look? can you paste the contents here for eg: xxx.xxx.xx.xxx hostname localhost

My mail system does not load image automatically

my mail system does not load image automatically. how does that happen? what should i do to set the image load configuration?

Although you can configure Mail to load HTML images automatically, you should think twice about doing it. The sender of the message could determine your email address, your IP address, and when you opened his message. Not what you want if you get spam, as most people do.

My operating system does not seem to be working

My operating system does not seem to be working properly. The system preferences cannot be accessed and itunes won't work either.
My mac is OS X Version 10.4.11 so is quite old.

Hello,
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.
Let us know if that helps or not, or any other problems.

Swelte82 what operating system are you using? You will need to meet the minimum system requirements in order to install. You can find the system requirements at System requirements | Creative Cloud.

Installation CD says my operating system does not support

I just got a used HP pavillion entertainment PC. I put my installation CD for my F4180 printer in and it tells me my operating system is not compatible or something like that. Bottom line I can't use my printer. Are there new drivers ? I really hope there is a solution. I had it installed on my other laptop, which was caught up in the middle of an altercation. It was replaced with this one. I never thought I'd be saying I miss Vista.

Would that be the same link I posted above?

System Does not Load, Fans Spins Non Stop, Blank Screen.

So i have a Quad Core 3Ghz with the ATI Radeon X1900 512MB ram.
I also have 2GB of internal ram and 2 more purchased 3rd party, totally of 4GB.
I have had my computer for about 3 months now i am guessing since the first week it came out. About 2 weeks ago i noticed my monitor would go out, i thought it was the monitor. Up until it started when i would start up the computer. The Fans inside would non stop spin and the OS would not Load up the Screen was still Black and not turning on but the power light was on and fans spinning. it would do this to a few other monitors as well. I did apples Hardware Test, 5 times, the extended one and nothing found, no errors. it does it with Apples Ram that i got and with just the 3rd party ram as well with out the apple ram.
I dont know if its the Graphics card because it seems to be cutting off the computer all together. when i am using it sometimes it will just go out on me. the computer light will be on like its on but the screen is out. i also was in mid chat with friends and the would not get my message hoping it was the Graphics card but it seems like it shuts down the whole system.
So yes, i have to restart it about 6 or 7 times for it to get past that Fan Spinning Non Stop stage then it clicks into gear and works. Every morning it works like that. same routine for over a week now.
Any clue as to what it would be? like the mother board or Power supply, i dont know how the power supply would stop the OS from loading and fans spinning but i am at a loss?

Mac Pro came out in August '06. This is the 8-core model?
The ATI Radeon can 'suffocate' if the air intakes on the cooling chamber of the graphics card become clogged with dust and unable to cool the card down. Needs to be cleaned from time to time.
Did you do an SMC Reset?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
Have you been using Hardware Monitor / Temperature Monitor to check on the temperatures of RAM, drives, cpu, etc?
Regular maintenance with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior to repair the drive?
An emergency boot drive?
when you boot from the DVD does it work normal? have you repaired the boot drive from DVD (lacking an emergency boot drive)? How about a clean install on another drive?
Some people use v. 2.1 of smcFanControl to force the fans to run slightly higher to insure that RAM and video card don't overheat.
How is the wall current and circuit? what else shares that circuit? are you on a UPS? (I wouldn't be without one and Mac Pro needs 1200VA.

OWB 9.0.4 :SQL*Loader: Operator POSTMAPPING does not support

Hi,
While trying to poulate Analytical Workspace using WB_LOAD_OLAP_CUBE, I got the following validation error
The analysis of the mapping is not successful under all supported languages and operating modes. Detail is as follows:
SQL*Loader: Operator POSTMAPPING does not support SQL*Loader generation.
ABAP: Operator AWPARAMS does not support ABAP generation.
I dont know what that means. Your help will be appreciated. Do I need apply some post 9.2.0.3 patch?. If yes, please let me know the patch number if available.
FYI: I am using Oracle9i with 9.2.0.3 patch
Thanks
Panneer

Panneer,
Does the regular process load from a flat file into a table? This would be implemented as SQL loader mapping... in which case a PL/SQL call cannot be implemented.
What you could do:
- Use an external table to read from the flat file.
- Use the transformation in a process flow. I.e. you first execute the SQL loader mapping and then execute the transformation.
Mark.

HT1199 I have a desktop mac operating on Mac OSx 10.4.11 and the system does not recognize my iphone and I am unable to upgrade to the newest itunes version. What do I need to do?

I have a desktop mac operating on Mac OSx 10.4.11 and the system does not recognize my iphone and I am unable to upgrade to the newest itunes version. What do I need to do?

Backup first
It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
Erase before the install
Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
During the install
Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
More about Macs
The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard
Information about upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
Important
Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.
