OSX Server Hangs on Blue screen at startup

We have an Xserve Running 10.5.8.  We have been having strange issues for some weeks with client's logging in and their desktops being missing.  Last Friday I noticed that the backup was not running correctly and I had a student who had lost her work mysteriously too.  I decided to restart the server to see what would happen.  On restart I cannot log in to the server either remotely or locally because after the white apple with spinner screen the machine goes to a blue screen with no login window.  Services are up and running, I can view and use Server Admin and Workgroup Manager, and I can ssh into the server.  I have trawled the internet in search of answers but all to no avail.  There are some errors in the log but I am not familiar enough with these things to know which are significant to this problem.  To further complicate matters the OSX server disk is nowhere to be found, hasn't been seen since well before I arrived on campus.  I have ordered Snow Leopard for this machine but would like to get to the bottom of the issues.
I have booted into safe mode from ssh but this has made no change to the situation.  I am relatively new to comand line management of macs so please don't assume I know how to use it like an old pro.  I am learning rapidly.
Thanks

  • Macbook pro hangs on blue screen at startup

    I've been having intermittent problems with my Macbook Pro starting up, but this is the first time it's completely failed to start up: I get the startup sound, the grey screen with apple logo, and then it just hangs on a blue screen, with a grey startup dial, and nothing happens. It was working fine up until this evening; it's confusing to say this, but it seems to have moods where startup is an issue. But I have taken it in several times for this very problem: the first time, they replaced my hard drive, the second I was told to reinstall OS X, and then add software back one program at a time. All I had on this machine was Adobe Creative Suite 4, nothing which would cause any issues. I don't even have any fonts on this machine!
    Desperate to know what might be the problem; I've tried a few of the basic troubleshooting work arounds and none of them are working. Does anyone know what the issue could be?
    Help!

    If you get a external USB or Firewire drive, you can hold c and boot off the installer disk #1 that comes with your computer, the second screen in is a Utilities Menu and Disk Utility.
    Select the EXTERNAL DRIVE and Erase, format HFS+ Journaled GUID partition.
    When that's completed quit Disk Utility and your back in the OS X installer, install OS X on the EXTERNAL DRIVE.
    When that's complete quit and reboot hold down the OPTION KEY and select the External drive to boot from.
    Now GRAB THOSE FILES!!! 
    After that you can do what you want to the boot drive, if you can't fix it, you can always install OS X again (without formatting) and it should leave your programs and files alone. But if something goes wrong you have a copy on the external drive.
    You can choose to Disk Utility format and reinstall everything, OS X, programs and files as well.
    If for some reason you can't access your internal drive, either booted from the install disk in Disk Utility or via the external drive, it's possible your hard drive died.

  • Hangs on Blue Screen on Startup

    Hi all.  I know there are similar posts to mine, but my questions can not be found so far in my searches.
    I have a 2009-ish refurbished Apple Store MacBook Air with a SSD.
    Today I restarted my computer, it seemed to be running a bit hot and slow.  After rebooting I could only get it to get to a blue screen and no desktop.  Computer boots normally with grey screen, apple logo and gear icon... following which I get a blue screen, sometimes with a gear other times with no gear or an alternating with/with out gear on blue screen.  Screen never goes to desktop screen but momentarily there appears to be a single pixel square (or possibly a 4 pixel square) of white near the upper left corner that appears momentarily over the blue, then gone.
    After searching I have tried the following things...
    Tried booting in safe mode (holding down shift) with same results.
    Tried doing a PRAM reset with same results.
    Tried booting in verbose mode with same results.
    Tried booting in single user mode and did the following:
    ran fsck -fy and disk verified with no errors, however it did indicate that something had updated.  rebooted with same results.
    again ran fsck -fy multitple times with no errors, rebooted with same results.
    ran mount -uw, disk reported it was HFS read only journaled... changed drive mount to -o for read write sucessfuly, then ran fsck again and rebooted with same results.
    So according to fsck the drive is fine, but if I reboot and then try mount -uw again, it again shows as read only.  I am not sure if this is normal or indicates there is in fact a hard drive problem.  Or perhaps there is a bigger issue.
    I do not have a usb CD Rom drive to attempt to boot from OSX Snow Leopard disk in order to test further, I am stuck at the moment.  I do have another laptop and a MacMini which I could potentially use to share a CD over WiFi, but I am unsure if I can boot from a shared CDROM via wifi and if so how to boot into that mode.
    Does this sound like a drive issue or potentially something else like a virus or motherboard or graphics card failure?  Thanks in advance for your time and efforts to answer this question.
    bk

    Update: Using Remote Install I was able to remotely boot my mac from another laptop's CDROM drive and run Disk Utility from the installer which again passed with out errors like the fsck command.  I also repaired disk permissions.  Upon reboot to the internal SSD, I am again getting the same blue screen.
    So, since I can boot remotely and my disk seems to check out ok I am guessing now that there is something wrong with my OS, some kind of corruption has occurred, but that is just a guess.  It is possible I guess for there still to be an actual hard drive or hard ware failure of some kind.
    Any help is still appreciated.

  • Hanging on blue screen during boot (but Safe Mode OK)

    Strange stuff with my iMac G5 -- machine boots normally, gets through Apple icon and spinning spiral, then hangs on blue screen and stays there. Mouse cursor moves but that's it.
    Safe boot works normally, all safe-mode functions good. But need network, other services back.
    History: Spent most of past week downloading huge, multi-gig file. It eventually downloaded successfully, but during process my wife put computer to sleep a couple of nights without halting download.
    Didn't have adverse effect first time, but it froze Finder second and third times, necessitating reboots. Also killed wireless connections for all PCs in network those two times iMac needed reboot, had to reboot gateway as well.
    Morning after download finished (Friday), iMac failed to wake up from sleep, wouldn't boot normally, had to go into Safe mode.
    Additional RAM was recently installed, but has worked well. Safe mode shows full two gigs in use.
    Solutions I've tried, without success:
    -- Trashing network preferences in both user and system
    -- Re-installing Finder and NetworkInterface apps using Pacifist
    -- Removing recently installed extensions in System (extensions put back after that failed to resolve issue)
    -- Removing recently installed Startup items (again, put back after that failed to resolve issue)
    Clearly it's got something to do with the network interface, but I've tried everything I know how to do. Any ideas? I'm out of them.
    Thanks in advance.

    The Airport card is not removable in this model -- 2nd rev G5 iMac, with automatic light sensor.
    But -- I think I've found what's wrong. Unfortunately there's no easy fix ...
    It's most likely the bad-capacitor issue that plagued the 1st rev of G5 iMacs. (This particular machine was a refurb bought direct from Apple in the fall of 2005, so it's possible bad caps were put on during the refurbishing.)
    I first heard about the problem a couple of days ago but figured a hardware diagnostic test would catch it. More online research reveals that the hardware test doesn't.
    When I popped the case this morning to yank the new RAM, there were definitely a few capacitors that had domed tops. Nothing spilling out anywhere, which was what I was looking for, but I've since found out that even contained bulging is a sign of failure. The capacitors should be instead perfectly flat-topped.
    So ... I'm gonna call Apple tomorrow morning and see how much it would cost to replace the mobo. There have been reports in forums that Apple sometimes offers to do it for free, even in cases occurring within the few months.
    See this link for examples of Apple picking up the tab for complete mobo replacement: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090314071508354
    If that offer isn't made, I will look into having the capacitors replaced. This is at the edge of my own technical abilities so I will first ask my techie friends if they can do it for $100 or so, plus parts ... and if not I'm gonna try to do it myself.
    This guy shows you how and sells inexpensive parts to do it with: http://jimwarholic.com/2008/07/how-to-repair-apple-imac-g5.php
    There is also a guy out in Missouri who replaces bad capacitors on motherboards for a living: http://www.badcaps.net/ Looks as if he'll charge between $80-120 including shipping and parts. So I may go that route.
    In any case it turns out Apple did know about this issue back in 2005 and even instituted a program to fix iMacs that had problems stemming from it for free. (Dell Optiplex machines also had the same problem, which was traced back to a few Taiwanese manufacturers.)
    Unfortunately there was no recall (Apple would never have lived that down) nor was the issue highly publicized. You had to wait until your own machine acted up, and then the free-repair program expired at the end of 2008.
    I myself never knew about it until a few days ago, and I usually keep up on this stuff -- which is something I will make very clear when I'm on the phone with Apple tomorrow.

  • Blue screen at startup---have tried EVERYTHING!!!  Any ideas???

    Hi there, I've got a really frustrating problem concering my husband's iBook G4. One day he got home from work, tried to start up, and got only a blue screen (no cursor.) (This is shortly after updating to 10.4.11, incidentally...coincidence?) We went to the forums, and tried numerous fixes, including:
    Booting from install and running disk repair (none needed)
    Booting in target disk mode with my mac and removing the login.plist file
    Removing all login items from both user accounts in target mode
    Attempting a boot (and eventual restore) from the external firewire backup, but it won't get past the blue screen here, either.
    It started up in safe mode a couple of times, and even restarted in normal mode once, but then in primary account froze back up after a few minutes. Then it wouldn't even start in safe mode.
    Then we did an Archive & Install from the original startup (Panther) but when it got to the login screen, it wouldn't accept either user password (even though the hint indicated we were using the right ones) and then froze. It now won't even boot from this disk, or start up in safe mode.
    Everything seems to be intact while perusing it in target disk mode; even ran a hardware test from the Apple Hardware Test disc and that all checked out (no idea if this would have made any difference, but I'm grasping at straws, here!)
    I know we did a couple more things suggested in the forums/support pages, but I can't remember what they are at this point...my brain is fried! (Also remember following Apple's instruction's for what to do when you get a blue screen at startup...tried this first thing to no avail.)
    Soooooo...any suggestions or ideas? We would greatly appreciate the help!
    Thanks so much!
    Jennifer

    Hi Jennifer,
    Ok, so...what's going on today is that Leopard will open to the login screen (sometimes I can log in but generally not), but then the cursor is frozen, as is the keyboard (can't type to login or use shortcuts) and even a usb mouse doesn't work. The only thing I can do is power down with the off button, and upon restarting, if I get past the login, get the message "Computer was restarted after Mac OSX quit unexpectedly" or something like that. (Just restarted from frozen login screen and got blue screen again.)
    Wondering if it's Leopard or my wonky install (we started up in target mode, with the install disc in the drive, and opened the installer on my mac, then chose the broken mac hd to install to. Seemed to work, but may this be related to the driver issue you mentioned?) We did it this way (after doing a zero-out erase) because it wouldn't even start up from the install disc itself.
    It sounds to me like this method of installing is okay. If you did not have the correct drivers, you could never get as far as you do in Leopard. I am wondering why you install with the disk in your Mac and not in the iBook.
    Anyway, have reset the PRAM, still no luck. On the apple page regarding this procedure they mention a power management unit reset for ibooks...would this correspond at all to our problems? Is it something I should try or steer clear of?
    Okay. Resetting PRAM was a long shot, but worth trying. I would steer clear of trying to reset PMU. That is related to sleeping, waking and such things and your problems do not seem to be related to that. Also, I have never reset PMU, but from what I recall, it sounded a bit tricky.
    Am now attempting to reboot from backup. And yes, when I open Startup Manager, the internal hard drive DOES show up. If that means anything. Have a bootable backup (created with SuperDuper) which also shows up, but when I try to start up with it, I get stuck at blue screen (still.)
    As far as the iBook hard drive is concerned, this is a good sign. I am thinking that perhaps the hard drive is okay and the problem is something else.
    So, since the iBook originally came with Panther, and Leopard is really yet another unknown to throw into the loop, if I do another erase/install, I'm thinking Panther is the way to go? (Unfortunately we shared a family pack Tiger with a friend, and haven't got a hold of that install disc yet, otherwise I'd try Tiger, since it's what it was running and so is what the backup is, too.)
    From what I have seen in the forums, when people are having startup problems, the last resort solution usually works. That is, they take the install disk that came with the machine (Panther in your case), erase and zero out the hard drive and then re-install. That usually seems to do the trick. What they have probably done is either replaced some corrupted piece of software or fixed a directory problem on the disk. In your case, you have already done most of this except not with the Panther disk. So, I think it is worth going through this effort with Panther. If this actually worked, then you could worry about how to update your software to where you want it to be. If it does not work, I would consider this more evidence that there is probably a hardware issue.
    If this doesn't work (and would probably have to try in target mode again if the install disc won't open...) should I buy Tech Tool or Disk Warrior or just send it in for repair? I suppose there's a point at which I'll have to admit defeat!
    Not sure that I caught this before. You imply that the install disk will not open if it is inserted into the iBook. Is this a problem that showed up when the blue screen business started? When you insert the disk into the iBook and then reboot that computer from the disk (pressing the C key during startup), do you get something on the desktop?
    If, when repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility, you had received a message that the disk was not repaired, then a stronger utility would be a reasonable choice. But, that does not seem to be your situation. So, if it were me, I would probably not buy Tech Tool or Disk Warrior at this point. I do think that it is possible that these utilities might be able to do more troubleshooting than you can do with Disk Utility and the Apple hardware CD. Tech Tool in particular has some hardware testing capability. So, if money were no object, you might buy that and see if it can give you more detailed diagnostic information. Of course, these are purely my opinions. I could be totally wrong on any of this.
    Oh yeah, I don't know if I mentioned this earlier or not but all the restarts yesterday were accompanied be a brief "whooshing" sound (like a fan) for a second or so, and once I got both that sound and a "boooooop" issuing from the innards. Not sure if this means anything or not, but thought I'd mention it. Maybe the hard drive is melting! (Also I get further along the startup route after it's been turned off for a while.)
    This is worth mentioning and I overlooked it in your previous posts. The "booooooop" sound got my attention. When the computer is started up, one of the first things that is done is that there are some hardware tests performed. Apple does use some sounds to indicate certain problems. You can learn a little more at You hear "breaking glass" or "musical beeps" when you turn on your Mac. I don't know if you are hearing one of these sounds or if they are unrelated. But, I think that the "boooooop" sound in particular might be trying to tell you something.
    Let me sum up my opinions (which could be dead wrong). I still suspect a hardware problem. However, maybe the hard drive is okay. I think it would be worth using the Panther CD to do another erase and install on the iBook. If you still do not have a working computer, it is probably time to seek professional help. (However, if you get to this point, it is conceivable that you could be having some problems with your RAM chips. If you have worked with RAM chips before, you could try to play games with them: reseating them and removing them one by one- if you have two chips. But, if you have not done this before and are do not have some familiarity with working on hardware of this nature, perhaps you should just leave this alone.)
    If you need to seek some professional help, you might be able to try one of these options - If you have AppleCare, you should definitely give them a call. If you live close enough to an Apple store, you could take your computer to the genius bar and see if they can help.
    Sorry that you are having such a hassle,

  • HELP! iMac G5 hangs at blue screen, but boots in Safe Mode

    Please can anyone guide me to recover my iMac G5 PowerMac 8,2 running OS X 10.4.11.
    Problem; Mac hangs on start-up at blue screen after grey Apple screen. Mouse pointer eventually appears but that is all.
    Actions taken so far without success:
    1.  Disconnected the printer and rebooted - no success.
    2. Booted in Safe Mode - first time the screen was completely scrambled but with safe mode log on screen showing through.  
    2.1 Rebooted in Safe Mode OK This has not occurred again and I have entered Safe Mode twice more without problems.  But worrying!
    2.2  In Safe Mode I ran disk Utility and verified and repaired Permissions, mostly old EpsonPrinter files.
    2.3  I also verified the Disk, which was reported OK.
    2.4  I was able to save critical documents to USB............  Phew!
    2.5  Reboot in Normal Mode - no success
    3. Reset PRAM
    3.1 Reboot in Normal Mode - no success
    4. Reboot in Safe mode - works fine.  NOTE: time and date appear to be correct and dont need resetting.
    4.1 Run Disk Utility again and Verify Permissions - OK.  Nothing needed fixing.
    4.2 Run Disk Verify - Passed OK
    4.3 Reboot in Normal Mode - no success.  Hangs at blue screen with mouse pointer visible and working.  Then pointer vanishes.
    I would be most grateful for your help in moving this forward

    Got to figure out which which of the things dropped when you boot in safe mode is causing the problem.

  • IMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. Started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup. I can get into safe mode. Tried install disc for disc utility and reloaded OS. Still get blue screen.

    I have an older iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. The other day I started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup.
    I can get into safe mode. But no regular startup.
    I tried disabling bluetooth, thinking that might be related. It didn't help.
    I even tried using the install disc to run disc utility. That didn't work so I reloaded the OS.
    But I still get hung on the blue screen when trying a normal startup.
    All help would be appreciated.

    Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

  • "blue screen" at startup- still stuck!

    So for some reason or another, I've ended up with the "blue screen" at startup problem. when I start my macBook in Leopard, after the apple logo, I get stuck permanently at a blue screen. The first thing I did was to repair the disk but the disk utility told me my disk was fine. Then I tried to do a restore of Mac OS X but after about a minute I get a error message saying "Restore Failure could not restore- File Exists". I have no idea how or why this happened or what it means. I would like to try apple's solution to the problem but they are very vague. They say try an "Archive and Install installation of Leopard". I have no idea how to do that! They say it is covered on "page 7 of the Install & Setup Guide included on the Leopard DVD" but I can't seem to find this so-called "Install & Setup Guide" anywhere on either of the two DVDs. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

    It's all in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545?viewlocale=en_US BTW, the setup guide's on the Leopard installation disk (retail version) and not on the disks that came with your machine.

  • I see a blank blue screen at startup

    I see a blank blue screen at startup. Am I going to lose everything that I didn't backup?

    So I booted off the install disc (hold C at startup), did an archive and install) and then shut it down. Powered it up and zapped the PRAM at startup (commandoption+PR) and it now boots instantly. Just curious as to what video card you have in yours? I've been reading a lot of threads about problems caused by the ATI Radeon HD 2600, which is what I have in mine. Sounds as if a firmware update is needed, but not yet available. I also had 4 kernel panics in my first 20 starts. Apple Genius Bar said this was due to Symantec Anti-Virus for Mac.

  • 'Famous' blue screen at startup AND safe mode boot failure

    Dear all,
    Two days ago, after installing the new Java update/airport update and restarting, I encountered a 'blue screen' on startup after getting past the mac symbol and swirling cog. I cannot say whether the updates were the cause (doubtful) of if my cheap USB mouse that was still plugged it caused it or whether i have the dreaded 'bad sectors.' The cause aside, here is what i've tried to fix the issue:
    1) Disk Utility - Verification (OK'd) and Repairs (fine)
    2) Disk Utility - Verification of Permissions (a few needed to be done) All repaired
    -blue screen-
    -Restart after period-
    3) Rebooting in safe mode, removing startup items from the login items settings menu
    4) Removing startup items from System/Library/StartupItems folders
    5) Remove airport extensions (recent - date modified in list view)
    (NB - safe mode i could say my desktop perfectl in original form and all files!)
    -Restart-
    -no longer able to start in safe mode-
    -blue screen remains-
    6)Single User mode -
    resetting preference files (loginwindow.plist and windowserver.plist)
    Finally system profiler from Tiger DVD states:
    *Permissions repaired
    *Dependency errors: com.apple.iokit.IOUSBFamily & com.apple.kernel.iokit no valid version found
    *Integrity: kext has no receipt
    I backed up most my data from the LAST crash, but recent music/1000 photos and others have been backed up altho i've been meaning to! Help!
    I'M PANICKING now can no longer get in SAFE MODE!!
    Please help Mac911!!!!

    Update:
    So, I managed to do ALL that you said, EXCEPT, the reboot and work fine business.
    I created the admin account which works fine. So now I can see three user accounts (looks like there as already an admin type one).
    The one I created works fine, only, I can only access/see the login screen through a safe boot, (otherwise blue screens...) . I can get into the admin account fine, but when restarting and logging in as my original user account it won't boot. Something is very wrong in MY user account. I think at this point my data there is still retrievable somehow for a backup, clean start. but i haven't reached that point yet.
    Anyone have any clues what migt have caused the error in my user login?
    One of the things I tried (too hastily now i admit) first was to remove the recently added updates from the extensions folder. has this exacerbated the problem? Can i put them back without logging in as me??
    remember from my first post system profiler says software/extensions integrity 'kext has no receipt' and dependency errors: 'com.apple.iokit.IOUSBFamily and com.apple.kernel.iokit; no valid version found' - whereas in my newly created admin account it appears AOK.
    is this the source?
    any ideas anyone?
    sorry lots of queries here but i am ever hopeful.....

  • Ibook G4, OSX 10.4 and blue screen/hangs

    My wife's ibook is acting very erractic. While using it today, it locked up and would only proceed to a blue screen upon reboot. I finally got it to start using my install disk to run disk repair. After running it twice, I finally got it to reboot. Ran Disk repair again. Now it will book and you can log in but when the system is inactive for about five minutes, you get a black screen. If you close the laptop, it has a blue screen when reopened. My questions are is this likely to be a hardware or software problem? I believe that it is a software problem but I would rather not do a full re-install. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi Jeffery, it actually sounds like a hardware problem.
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/ibook/topic3417.html
    http://www.applefritter.com/node/10193
    I believe that it is a software problem but I would rather not do a full re-install.
    If so, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

  • Blue screen on startup- only application accessible is iTunes by hitting f8 osx 10.6.8, Safe booting works but otherwise no login screen comes in, is this maybe a popad malware thing? what should I do

    when starting up I get a blue screen with no dock, I can access some application by hitting f8 which opens iTunes, from there i use the apple icon in upperleft to go to recent items.  There is trouble printing from application or web sites.  IF this is a malware thing what should i try to fix it?

    Perhaps however what we need is a EtreCheck report of the system if you can. Please download and post your EtreCheck report and we can then look for obvious issues.

  • MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

    Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
    I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
    Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
    I appreciate your responses and help.
    By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

    Kappy wrote:
    Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
    Hi Kappy,
    Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
    As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

  • HELP! OS X won't boot - Blue Screen at startup... No mouse, nothing...

    I have a PowerMac G4 MDD running OSX 10.4.8 (or 9)... About a month ago, it suffered a kernel panic, and upon restarting, it wouldn't load OS X. Now whenever I start the computer, it displays the white screen with the Apple logo and the spinning gear, then it switches to a solid blue screen and stays there. There is no mouse on the screen and the keyboard is unresponsive.
    The computer will boot in safe mode. I have tried removing login items in the account preferences and third party items from the StartupItems folders. But still, I get the blue screen.
    I've tried resetting the PRAM. I booted from the install disc and repaired the startup disk. It said no repairs were necessary. I've repaired permissions on the disk as well. I also booted from the Hardware Test disc, but still, nothing.
    Yesterday I did an Archive and Install from my Tiger install disc, hoping that this would fix things, but it didn't. As a last resort, I'm considering wiping the hard drive and doing a fresh install of OS X.
    Does anyone have any advice? Has this happened to you too? Does this sound like a hardware or software problem?
    PowerMac G4 MDD   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Do you have a firewire external drive, or other bootable backup? Try booting from another drive & see if the problem persists. Run Disk Warrior while booted from its CD, or from an alternate drive. I don't think it will help, though, because Archive & Install should create a new directory. If the problem persists when booting from an alternate system, you most likely have a hardware problem. You could install a fresh copy of OS X on your alternate drive to make sure (but not if it's your only backup!).

  • IMac intel: 5 minutes of blue screen before startup! Help!

    Hi-
    I have a Core Duo 17" iMac. I've erased the hard drive and installed a clean, new copy of 10.5. It takes the computer 5 minutes of blue screen before starting. There are no peripherals attached, no other software than the Apple system software installed. I erased the hard drive and installed 10.6, and had the same problem. Reset the SMC, zapped the PRAM. Replaced the memory chips. Replaced the hard drive. Nothing helps.
    The console log shows lots of delay about "did not die after sending SIGKILL." The Console log also shows the 5 minute delay in startup. In the log below, look at the entry at 5:21 pm on 9/15. That's when the computer started, then the next entry is 5 minutes later at 5:26pm. That's my 5 minute blue screen startup.
    Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.

    Curious to know how you got to 10.5.8, If you went through Software Update, using the "Delta" updates, or if you used the 10.5.8 Combo? It might be worthwhile applying (or re-applying) the 10.5.8 Combo, which might serve to fill in anything missing or possibly corrupted.

    The other thing I'd try is running Applejack which is a very useful little program for troubleshooting and repairing. It runs from Single User Mode. Hold CMD-S at the startup chime. Here's a short article explaining how it's used. (Also, be sure to read the Read Me.) It's very easy to use. You just follow the on screen prompts. First, just type in applejack and press return. To begin with, I'd only run it only for steps 3 and 4, which will do a relatively light cache cleaning (but, importantly in your case, clean out the boot cache) and check for corrupted Preference files. Doing it this way, you'll also be able to run those steps for your user, not just the system. If that doesn't help, you can run it for deeper cache cleaning by typing in applejack AUTO and let it run through a full sequence of tasks. Note: that if you do a deeper cache cleaning, you can expect the system to run a bit slower until those caches are rebuilt.
