OS X Failing... system pref, shut down, reboot, Nothings working!!! Help!
Nothing is working. I was trying to set up boot camp and for some reason the computer died midway through a partition, now everything is dead. I can open system pref but nothing in the pref menu opens, it'll just freeze. I click on reboot, shut down... nothing happens... I try opening Disk Utilities and it freezes on me... Someone please help me.
Boot with the install disk, select your language, and then run Disk Utility, repairing the disk and permissions, from the Utilities menu.

WOL can't work if system is shut down for a period of time
The WOL on my T430 only works if I wake up my system right after shut down.

When the system goes into sleep mode it keeps making a beeping noise. The system is shut down by holding the button in
and will then boot up again without any errors.
I Have replace RAMS, Motherboard and Power Supply. I have check the Bio's and Power setting on the unit. there is no place to cause this issue.
Please help
PC Power TechSyamak,
You didn’t specify where the beeping noise is coming from.
If it’s coming through your speakers, you could try to update your audio drivers since it’s possible they’re incorrectly sending a signal to the speakers as the audio chipset enters standby.
If the noise is coming from the motherboard, you’ll need to take a closer look at your system’s configuration or contact the manufacturer.
I hope this helps.

ICM7.5 - System is shutting down with a error message
Hi,
I have installed a ICM7.5 SPRAWLER in our Lab.All was working fine until yesterday, when I suddenly started receiving the below error
This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off.
Any unsaved changes will be lost.
This shutdown was initiated by LOGGERA-9a48f5 services..
Cisco systems. Inc, ICM Node Manager Manager shuting down system. To Cancel shutdown, run the stopshut utility
and the system shutsdown. I have not done any changes to the system.
Do you have any ideas what kind of an error is this and how to resolve this?
Please advise.
Thanks,
SrinivasYou need to check the log files - the .ems files - in the logger directory (maybe la\logfiles). You must use dumplog to examine these.
First look at the nm (Node Manager) log file to see why it is having trouble and which of the processes has errors and cannot be restarted. Then check the offending process. Maybe increase the trace to see your problem.
Maybe the configlogger cannot talk to SQL or something. I think you will see what the problem is quite easily. Maybe you will know how to fix it, but if not, come back here with some trace and ask again.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Intel core i5 2.3GHzWell, after some thought, I did a 'safe boot', did a disk verify and repair in Disk Utility, repaired permissions in DU and had the same problem I'd mentioned in post.
SO, I went back in (safe boot.........that is, hold down start button, then 'shift') and went to applications and removed or uninstalled any apps that I thought might be interferring with the re-boot or, specifically, with my being unable to sign in with my p/w.........(at the first key stroke, it would crash and give the 'error' message)....I had both Webroot and Dashlane installed that I thought could interfere with password recognition (Webroot protects from viruses, et all and Dashlane is a password codifying appl.) I took out whatever else I thought might not be friendly and, guess what ?? When I signed out of 'safe' mode, and rebooted normally, it worked.........and has been working properly for 3-4 hrs now, so guess it's good-to-go..........seems like it...........hope this helps anyone with the same problem I'd had...........no need to visit "genius bar" some 55 miles from here............guess us mid-seventies guys ain't too old for learnin'...........G'Day, Mates !! -

my iphone is shutting down and not working with my pc.. but when i plug it to the wall it turns on. and off when i unplugged it.. i tried to reboot but nothing happens.. pls help..
The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you. It is owned by your friend.
I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do. Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way. -

IMovie required an update, now it is shutting down automatically. Please help.
iMovie required an update, now it is shutting down automatically. Please Help.
To stop Auto updates use: '''Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Update Tab ''' <br> select the options you require ( see [[Updating Firefox]] )
As for why your version does not work I do not know but suggest you look at:
* [[Safe Mode]] Note when using safe mode do not make changes on the first dialogue Window you see; click the Continue button
* [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
You may also need to review the versions of Java see
* [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
* "Why do I need Java 6 Update 10 and above for Firefox 3.6 and later versions? " - http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml
Your System details show you as using version 3.6.12 of Firefox, that is not the latest version, it would be normal practice to update to the latest version, which is why you are being offered the updates. See also [[Software Update Failed]] -
Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500.
HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs.
Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?Sure it is, yet it's called HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MFP Series *
Today, I followed your other advice, and deleted the printer, deleted the /Library/Printer/hp folder, downloaded the entire set of driver, re-installed the printer twice, once with the driver, once with Bonjour.
The Bonjour Printer has the scan option active, but it is doesn't work (refer to above.), it is called M1217nfw
The Apple Driver Printer doesn't show the scan option at all, it is called M1217nf (as on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP list.) This model number doesn't exist, as far as I can tell.
Still, everything works perfectly in Snow Leopard, for a MF printer that has been manufactured years after Snow Leopard was released.
Why going up in software version means going backwards in compatiblity for brand new product is really the question that puzzles me here. -
Mac Book Pro (OS 10.4.11) WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
My Mac Book Pro 15", 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory - runninfg Mac OS X 10.4.11 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
When I use the SHUT DOWN command in the Apple Menu - programs close, the screen goes to a blue screen with a revolving time indicator and then remains that way until I FORCE SHUT DOWN by pressing the power button - then after a it makes the sound the screen goes black. I have restarted the machine several times and run disk doctor from the start up disk - no problems are recognized. The problem started last night. I upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.11 today - hoping that the update would resolve the issue - NO LUCK! I keep trying to get a successful SHUT DOWN from the apple command - However I have not been able to get it to SHUT DOWN without forcing the power button. HELP!"... and run disk doctor from the start up disk"
Please explain that one. Disk Doctor was part of Norton Utilities. NU is not supported by OSX and the faster you get rid of it the better. Boot from your Installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utilities. An optional way of shutting down is holding down control-option-command keys and pressing the eject button. When you are having problems address the problem. Upgrading to a new OS version will not solve the problem.
Wht you should try is running the 10.4.11 intel combo updater here:

I have an older IMac 5. I installed snow Leopard on. Now my DVD drive is not working. Discs go in but it dosn't boot up or show in finder. Then disc won't eject unless i shut down and restart. HELP !
Snow Leopard cannot run on a PPC G5 Mac as it requires an Intel processor. Please confirm what Mac you have.

i keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help
I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
does iTunes launch properly? -
Since last week my date & time have not worked on my 5c. The date & time are constantly wrong. I've shut down, doesn't work. Set it automatically, doesn't work. I don't get texts or calls when it's sleeping. Any suggestions?
try a reset.
Hold the home & power buttons down simultaneously until you see the Apple logo appear.
Note: no data will be lost.
