Out of nowhere logic application won't BOOT now - can't see my XSKEY?

running an imac G5 - just put 10.4.6 on it (maybe that has something to do with it).
logic has been working fine until now. went to double click on the boot icon and i get the "Welcome to Logic Pro 7" dialogue box that asks me if i want to run it in demo mode or quit. there is no demo mode.
i checked my USB ports and they work fine. my computer has no problem seeing my iLok key for my waves authorizations.
i have some critical deadlines for audio work coming up fast and i can't open the application.
why is this happening? what do i do? aside from the new operating system nothing has changed on my computer. has this happened to anyone else?
thanks for your help
graham

thanks for the help, everybody!
still no luck. i've tried various ports, which i don't think is the issue, as my iLok key reads perfectly for the waves authorization in, say, ableton live or any other app...
how do i reauthorize the xskey dongle again? i remember a website... has oneone done this before with good results? what's the process involve?
also, is there an actual phone number to speak to a real live human (ideally, a logic pro specialist) about this problem. i can't find anything on the apple site or my logic books... ever since emagic was dissolved the customer service (logic specific - not justy some generic apple help line) has gone with it...
thanks again

IMac G5 20". Disk died. Machine won't boot. Can't see replacement drive.

Machine was on, but frozen. I power cycled and it wouldn't boot. I removed the drive and put it in an external SATA case and was able to mount it on my MBP and copy 50GB of stuff off. I'll pick through it later. I got a new drive at Fry's and put it in. I popped in the Tiger install disk and ran Disk Utility. It didn't even show the internal drive. I ran System Profiler and the Serial ATA section said "No information available." Uh-oh. Is the interface fried? I bought the machine in March 2005 so it's not that old.
Thanks for any help,
Al

I have a replacement disk. Easy enough to install.
I checked again. I can't verify the other end of the drive cables. They disappear under the motherboard and I just don't want to tear the whole thing apart. I notice that many capacitors on the motherboard have bowed tops when they should be very flat.
While an external FW drive would probably work, the speed of the interface would be a limiting factor as the drive itself claims 1.5Gb/sec or 3Gb/sec. I wonder if that's just the drive, or the interface into the machine itself.
I checked the repair extension programs. These specific symptoms do not match the documented issues. The machine can boot a Tiger install DVD just fine. It's just the %&$&^* SATA interface itself.
Thanks for the suggestions,
Al

In Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

in Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed
Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

PC Won't boot now! D bracket showing all 4 leds red!

Ok this has got me stumped, on top of all my fan speed problems now that I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64, last night I found that my PC now WON'T BOOT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! ? The D bracket is now showing all red leds, which according to the manual, it means either the CPU is damaged or CPU is not seated correctly. But how can this be? I haven't even touched the CPU!?
Anyway, I have already tried removing the heat sink and reseating the cpu but it is still showing all 4 red leds.
This morning I tried booting it again but now I noticed that it is showing 2 red and 2 orange leds. What does the orange colour indicate?
I've also tried clearing the CMOS - no change.
I am completely at a loss now as to how my PC can all of a sudden just become totally unusable!? Is it the fault of Windows 7? Does Windows 7 somehow require more power to the CPU which may have fried it?
What can I do now?
CPU: AMD Athlon 3500+ Socket 939
Motherboard: MS-7100 MSI K8N SLI Platinum
Memory: 1 gig 2x512 sticks of DDR2 OCZ
Video card: gigabyte geforce 8600gt
Hard drive: 1x WD 74Gig Raptor, 1x WD 320 Gig Caviar
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Have you tried another processor? With your fan issues it concerns me the processor my have gotten too hot.
Yes, this is certainly a possibility and I haven't ruled this out yet. However the problem is trying to find someone with another socket 939 cpu and mobo. I know someone who has a Shuttle PC but he majorly cbfed taking it apart and trying my cpu out.
But even if the processor got too hot, why is the D Bracket showing 2 red and 2 orange leds. Shouldn't it be showing all 4 as red? That's why I still believe the BIOS maybe corrupted as well.
Anyway, I'm getting in a technician today so hopefully he will be able to try it out somehow.

Snow leopard installation disc won't boot. Can I reset computer to boot from internal hard drive at startup?

I recently installed snow leopard on my macbook (mid 2006). I used system preferences to set the snow leopard boot disc as the install disc, and now my computer won't boot. It stalls at the apple icon with the grey screen. Is there any way I can set my computer to reboot from my internal hard drive at startup without having access to system prefernces (a keyboard code or something)?

Thank you so much for responding. I actually just pushed the trackpad button at startup. It ejected the install disc and automatically booted from the internal. I am sure your method would have worked as well. Thanks again!

Illustrator CC 2014 (18.1.1) won't boot! Can you help?!

I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) running 10.10.2 (14C109) and Illustrator CC 2014 (18.1.1) won't boot. It crashes IMMEDIATELY! I've already uninstalled and reinstalled it. I REALLY need this software. It's my primary production App. Can you help? Thank you!

bb,
There have been reports on an issue with Extensions Suitcase a while back.I wonder whether that can still be relevant:
Here is the Extensions Suitcase 5 update that may solve the issue:

Direct update link:

Or you may consider an upgrade to Suitcase Fusion 6:
Otherwise, there may be something relevant in the Other options (follow the link with that name), such as item 1) or 11).

W520 won't boot. Can't even get to the BIOS .... help!

I have a 2 months old W520 factory settings. It has been acting up lately when powering up but after holding down the power button for 10 sec or so it would always start. However, that is not even working today.
I took out the battery and plugged it in AC and tried to no avail. I also tried powering it up with battery alone and neither seems to work. So I can't turn on the **bleep** machine now to even see what version the bios is or anything for that matter. Please help .... thanks!
Solved!

Hi, J,
    I feel your pain.
     It may be your system board is blooey, but we can try a few things before going to your local authorized Lenovo service center - or you may want to head over there right now:
Lenovo Warranty Service Locally
    I had a minor warranty issue recently and a local provider turned my machine around in two hours (after the parts came in).
If you want to mess around:
    Are you sure your power supply is ok? Is your battery charged?
    Have you tried unplugging everything from your machine (except for the AC adapter), including removing the disk drive, any usb devices etc.?
    Is your laptop screen completely dead? If so, you might try plugging in an external monitor, just to check.
    After that, you may also want to remove the keyboard, take out the backup battery, main battery etc and disconnect the AC overnight.
    Let me know how you fare.
                                                                           ZZ

Applications missing from EAS and can't see designated HBR on forms in workspace

Hi!
Just finished patching our EPM system;
11.1.2.1.600: Oracle Hyperion EPM Workspace, HSS and Planning, fusion edition.
11.1.2.1.103: EAS
After installing the patches the systems were up and running and everything was just fine until yesterday around noon, when suddenly all of our applications disappeared from EAS.
At the same time HBR Associated to the different forms was\is nowhere to be seen (in Workspace) when opering the planning forms.
If I try opening forms in planning (not via WS), I can see all of the HBR associated to the forms, run them and push data back to essbase.
Regards, Tom L

We are currently using approximately 25 applications. I can only see the server in EAS, but no apps.
Also create application is greyed out so it would seem that I don't have the sufficient rights which would be strange due to
the face that I've got admin rights.
Regarding HBR we have no problems seeing and running HBR for our classic apps in planning. The problems with HBR is related to WS.
Thx!

Updated to Mavericks and I get the upper left quarter of the screen blacked out on Time Machine. This means that I can't see the files. Any suggestions for getting rid of the black square?

Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Time Machine. And I've tried rebooting the iMac, but I still get the top left hand quarted of the screeen blacked out. I can scroll back through the back-ups but the back square means that I can't see the details of any file.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

K9N2 Sli Platinum - won't boot? Can't figure out problem.

Hey guys. My computer practically crapped itself the other day, and there were so many symptoms I'm not quite sure
what to even search for.
I've had this computer for about a year now. no problems since the day i built it.
specs:
Msi K9n2 Sli Platinum mobo
AMD Athlon 64x2 3.2 Ghz
2x BFG Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX+
2x Cosair xms2 2gb ddr2

Sony DvD drive

So i was playing SC2 and my computer froze. So i restarted and it hung during windows loading.
I turned it off waited a few seconds and started... still hung. Cycled it and tried a couple more times.
Still nothing. Naturally i assumed it was a virus so i repaired my windows installation. After it finished it hung on
Windows has finished repairing your computer will now restart. I waited about an hour and decided to just restart
myself. Next time it booted asked me if i wanted to boot from cd and then it just shutdown like i pulled the plug.
Then i thought well i ruined my windows install. I tried booting again it did the same thing. So i just said screw it
ill reformat. But this time there was no signal from my graphics card. When i turn the computer on it will normally
be loud and then get quiet after everything has booted. But now it just turns on and stays loud because i suspect
it's still booting. So i took everything apart. Tried connecting and unconnecting everything. moving ram etc...
Ive got it to boot twice but after that it crashes before windows loads like a plug pull and it wont boot again.
I cant tell whats wrong it could be everything but nothing makes sense. I've built about 7 or 8 computers.
gotten rid of several viruses and bad hardware but I've never seen anything like this.
I tried checking the LED codes for the board. Leds 11 and 10 and 9 and 8 alternate red and green which means HDD and floppy drive are trying to boot.
but it does that even when my harddrive is not connected and it still wont show video. Ive even rotated the graphics cards and tried a 7900gs. nothing.
Edit: now led 6 and 7 are red.
please help me out. Thanks.

Yeah the case i have is the antec 1200. Never had a problem with heat before.
Ive tried it with just the ram and the cpu and it still gives me the lights so i
guess it must be the mobo or processor. I don't have another motherboard to test everything else on
all my other pcs are 5 to 7 years old.
I was thinking about keeping all my old parts and buying these as replacements:
MSI NF980-G65 AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 140W Quad-Core Processor

I have a cracked screen from a few months ago. A few days ago out of nowhere my spears won't work (ringing, speakerphone, music) apple told me I need new speakers but I don't think that can be it. Help?!

My phone has been working perfectly fine even after I dropped it and cracked the screen. Apple is saying this happened because of the cracked screen but that doesn't make sense. HELP!!! I don't have a warranty so I would have to pay $80 for new speakers :( apple *****

IMac G5 failed 10.5 update - won't boot now, spinning wheel

Please help, I bought my mom an iPad because she broke both ankles and is gonna be bed ridden for several weeks, and needed some way to get email, etc.
She has an iMac g5 2ghz non iSight. The iPad needs to be plugged into iTunes to work the first time, but her iMac had 10.4 on it. Well, iTunes requires 10.5 or higher. So i upgraded it and somewhere in the middle the update failed (I suspect a bad DVD). The computer wanted to restart, and since then, it will not boot, just a gray screen with apple logo, and the forever spinning wheel of frustration. I ran through the 10.5 installer again (this time using a different disk and it seemed to complete, and when it restarted at the end, same thing - spinning wheel, not happy.
So I boot off the OS x install DVD, run disk utilities, repair disk finds no errors, repair permissions says one minute remaining but never finishes, it ran all night long and I finally just gave up and turned it off this morning.
I have come to the conclusion that I will be formatting the HD tonight after work. But I need to get all her pictures, emails, and contact list off that drive first. I figure I'll use my old G4 (10.4 I think?) and put her iMac into target disk mode, and hopefully mount the drive to the G4 with the FireWire cable (I pray this works otherwise... Cry)
My main question, please help me out in locating her address book / contact list. She uses the Mac mail app for email. What files and/or folders do I need to copy so that once I format, I can (hopefully) just copy those folders back to the freshly installed OS 10.5, and theoretically make it seem like nothing happened.
Also, any suggestions anyone can offer me that don't involve formatting would be appreciated... But mostly, just need to figure what I need to backup.
Thanks so much, it's been a very difficult few days, and the added stress of this computer is just no good for the entire situation.

Copy her User (home) folder and Applications folder and you should have everything she needs.

MBP Stutter, Screen Freeze, Won't Boot Now

Today when using my MBP, the screen stuttered and then froze. I rebooted and it worked fine for the next 4 hours. I got to my hotel, it booted fine and did the stutter again. Now when I reboot it has a hundred really thin horizontal lines on the logo screen and when it tried to load past that, it just stays a white screen. Currently out traveling for work so can't take it into a store. Does anyone have any tips or advice to fix this or know what's going bad?

Horizontal lines then white screen? Logic board, monitor cable.
Have you done a SMC reset yet? however does it default to white screen now permanently?
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
That is likely either the monitor cable, or logic board, possible GPU fault, or the monitor itself.
Yes, you will need an appt. with Apple store for diagnosis specifics as to actual fault.
You have a 1 year warr. on your Air for factory faults / defects due to normal use, ..is it a recent purchase?
Nobody here can give you a cost...if out of warranty, if merely the monitor cable, then it is rather a cheap fix,..... if logic board or monitor, rather costly indeed.

Lion iMac won't boot and can't re-install OS as disk locked.

Hi, my iMac was purchased in 2011 and is running Lion, Mac OS X 10.7.5.
On Monday it stopped booting and gets stuck at the apple logo and spinning thingy.
I have tried to Verify and Repair the Macintosh HD disk but both fail. Next step I wanted to try was to re-install the OS which I understand will keep my settings and data. When I go into this option the disc is greyed out and it says "The disk is locked".
Do I need to unlock the disc, if so then any ideas how I do this ??
What other diagnostics should I try ??
Many thanks in advance for help.

When you try to install and check your hard drive, and you starting the computer from the recovery partition.
Restarting your computer by holding down the command + R, Additional if you have access to DiskWarrior you should give that a try to repair your hard drive.
Take a look at this link, http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive/

Macbook won't boot up, can't find HD then it can find it?

I have a macbook pro (purchased in 08). Last week I got the beach ball of death while on the internet with Safari. I forced it to shut down. When I tried to restart it, all I could get was the grey screen with Apple logo and spinning cog thing. I've been able to boot it from the original installation disks, but the first few times I tried, disk utility could not see my hard drive. I put the computer down for a few days and when I rebooted from the cd and ran disk utility- there was my hard drive! So I repaired the disk- says it appears to be ok, then I verified, says ok. I ran the disk permissions and it froze again. When I rebooted, no hard drive found again. Ugh. The 60th time retrying, it found it again and I once again repaired and verified. I am in the process of repairing disk permissions again. Any Help? Since I can see my hard drive how can I transfer the data off the old macbook onto my new macbook pro? Thanks!

You can use the Disk Utility to clone to an external hard drive the contents of the internal hard drive, while booted from the DVD. The Utilities menu of the installer offers a Disk Utility. Note the external hard drive must be bigger than the internal, and empty. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/clonedu.html
And I'd make a copy to two hard drives. That way if changing anything in your internal is needed, you won't lose any data. If the clone fails, we may need to look at data recovery options from the beginning of my backup FAQ.
