Pavillion G72 Synaptics TouchPad will not start from a restart or a cold bbot.
After the broken LCD screen was replaced the Synaptics TouchPad will not start up. I deinstalled and reinstalled driver 15.3.29.0 downloaded from the HP driver web site. The icon will not display. In the ICon Notification Area settings, when I choose "show icon and notifications" the response is a message that the icon is inactive.
If I click on the the shortcut in the startup folder for SynTPEnh.exe the icon displays, disables the TouchPad becasue it detects the wireless mouse (as selected in the checkbox). After a system restart or cold boot it does not run.
In System Configuration, whereas all programs start as C:\Program Files\... , the one for SynTPEnh.exe dislays as C:\PROGRA~1\SYNAPT... Is this the problem/
I found the same at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run but editing that to match the other programs made no difference.
What do I need to do to make SynTPEnh.exe start up?
Thank you
Running OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
Note also that the Synaptics TouchPad is not listed on the Control Panel under Adjust Your Computer's Settings as. Should show up as Synaptics TouchPad V7.5

Mac OS 10.5 /
I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
But my computer will not start from it on its own.
My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info? I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
Thanks guysOkay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
Anyway here we go...
Okay so first things first.... Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
-------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
AND
"Disconnected the primary HD"
and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
After a bit of trial and error...
I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
this setting is under
Utilities / startup disk
After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
So upon this discovery
I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
Once highlighted ...
In the heading section on the right I selected the option
Erase
in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
I FORGOT to add something...
Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
So back to the next step...
I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!!
Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
-------One more time the fix------
*Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
*Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
*Reboot your machine...
Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
* you will then be prompted to select your language.
Once selected
*Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
* Click restart...
!!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
In that case restart again.
Upon restart once again
*Choose your language...
*Click Utilities / disk utility
In the left column select and
*Highlight your HD ...
Then towards the top portion / center of the page
*Click the heading Erase
Then on the page toward the bottom
*Click security options
This will then provide erase options.
I USED THE FIRST OPTION
"Dont erase data"...
*click OK
* click erase...
Once erased which should take a few seconds
*Cancel the disk utility...
* Click Utilities / startup
And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
* Select your drive from the list by highlighting
It should no longer have a name.
*Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
Thats it!!!!
Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
Goodluck ;) -

My MBP will not start up after restart
My MBP (late 2011 running 10.8.something - receintly updated) will not start up after I had to do a restart to install Blackberry Desktop software (for my wife, I promise). It chimes, gets past the grey screen with the Apple logo and then just sits on the login screen but with the background only, no account or anything. My mouse pointer is there and moves but nothing else. Anyone have any idea?
Reboot holding the Shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this is Safe Mode and will disable the at boot kernel extension file that Blackberry installed.
When you get in uninstall the software using their uninstaller. Then reboot normally again, visit their website for a update if there is one.
Blackberry/RIM software has been causing issues around here lately.
If your machine refuses to boot normally again, then run through this list 1-8,, by #8 your machine should be booting normally again.

I can close firefox and restart the program just fine as long as I don't shut down my computer. If I open the profile manager, I can change profiles and this fixes it but this is only a temporary fix.

EMac Will Not Start From Firewire Drive
I'd like to revive my old eMac to use as secondary machine for surfing, etc.
The internal hard drive failed so I bought a Western Digital My Passport drive. I used my old retail copy of Leopard (the same copy I had used on the internal drive) and installed Leopard. The Startup Disk application showed that 10.5 was installed on it and allowed me to choose it for the startup drive.
However, after startup the eMac refuses to see the FW drive. It doesn't even appear to poll it as the drive's light never blinks after the initial power on. Holding down the option key only shows the old internal drive and Leopard install disc as options.
What am I doing wrong?? I never had a problem booting any Mac from a FW drive before.
Additional notes...
1. I reformatted the drive and made sure it was set to Apple Partition Map.
2. I tried dividing it up into multiple partitions.
3. I disabled the stupid Smartware software with the Virtual CD Manager.
4. Looking at the drive on my current Snow Leopard Mac, it appears to have a valid installation.A few ideas.
Did you use the Disk Utility app on the 10.5 Leopard DVD to format the drive as an Apple HFS+ drive?
Try another FW port. The eMac has 2.
My Mom's eMac is a 800 MHz model running Leopard 10.5.8 from an ext. FW drive.
It usually takes this eMac a good minute and a half to two minutes to see the FW drive and then it will boot to it.
Could try and startup the eMac and wait a little while for it to boot?
Do you get the flashing question mark folder icon when you first start the eMac?
If you do, you may need to wait a little while for the eMac to see the drive. -
Bronze keyboard Will not start from hard drive
This computer (333 Mhz Lombard 192MB ram) has a 40GB seagate HD recently installed, It has Mac OS 10 on it and 9.2.1. I've run multiple tests on it using Apples Mac Test pro and all the tests have passed. It starts readily from the CD I have also recently replaced the battery and pram battery. All i get from the computer at start up is the flashing ? mark blinking system folder. I've reset the pram and power manager, not sure whats wrong. any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark
The blinking ? means the Mac can't find a valid startup system.

Are you trying to start up in OS 10 or OS 9? If OS 10, depress the Option key at startup which opens to the Startup Manager window. Then select the OS 9 icon & click the right arrow. If OS 9, do the same but select OS 10.

I have a 13 macbook pro that i am giving to my sister. I am trying to wipe my info and put hers on it. I followed the directions on the apple website and it wouldn't work. I realized that i was using the install disk from my imac. Now that I am using the correct install disk it gets stuck with a gray screen with the apple logo.

I also went into system preferences and told it to start using the install disk now it wont even start it just gets stuck on the gray screen. please help.

I am running itunes on a 64 bit computer with Windows 7 installed. The only way I can get itunes to open is to restart my computer. Restarting doesn't always work but that is the only option I have. I can find no problems with my system except this one. All my other programs seem to run and open OK. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am running the latest version of itunes. This issue is on my desktop. I also own an Acer Laptop that is also beginning to act up in the same way.
Have you checked to see whether the App Store appis hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'on' ?

Pavillion dv2700 will not start up
HP -Pavillion dv2700 running Vista will not start up.
At power the screen comes on and goes right to the Microsoft Corporation screen with green bars going across screen. This will last for hours and go nowhere.
I do get the option to go to the recoveryscreen but that eventually gives the error message that says Startup Repair has tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of repair.
Every now and and again it will respond to F8 but no matter what choice I make it comes back to the Microsoft Corporation screen with green bars going across screen.
I took out the hard drive and tried to boot it up with the system recovery dvd and get a flashing line on a black screen
I would love any thoughts you might have, Thank you

My pavilion dv2700 with Vista will not boot. At power on the screen comes on and some LEDs on the keyboard illuminate but the screen remains blank. It does not seem to enter the BIOS boot up mode either. Repeated clicks on the F10, F11, or F8 keys has no effect except that after about 20 clicks on one of the function keys a beep is heard for each subsequent click but the screen just remains blank.
This problem was preceded by a week of the system locking up intermittently. The hard drive LED would go out and the system would freeze up. I would have to hold the power button down for 10 seconds to shut it down.
Any ideas on what is going on, how to trouble shoot, or how to fix?
By the way: I do not have a restore disk.Hello Robert_thoms,
I understand you state your G6 will not load, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
I would like you to try a hard reset and then try to access the BIOS menu.
1. Remove all connections including the battery and AC adapter
2. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds
3. Once done reinsert only the battery and AC adapter
Now try to access the BIOS menu:
1. Turn the computer on and immediately start tapping the F10 key
2. If successful you see the BIOS menu
3. Press the F9 key to reset the BIOS
4. Press F10 to save and exit to see if it will boot
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

So Original Drive(O) working Ok. but computer will not start from WD drive by usb. Got a 3.5 external case and checked WD drive using Disk Utility. After about a minute Disk Utility stops & says "disk needs repairing". Repair disk and Utility says "Ok". Run a check again and "OK" Try to start computer from WD with usb but no good so run Disc Utility again and it stops and says "disc needs repairing". Went through this process 4 times, same result.
If I try to start computer with WD pluged in by usb it will not start. I must disconnect and then it is Ok.

Will Not Boot From Install Disc
Upon a Verify Disk check I received a "Volume Header needs minor repair" notice.
Because it is necessary to boot from another disc to repair the header, I attempted to boot from the install disc. I tried restarts holding down the "C" or by selecting the start up disc in System Preferences/Startup Disk. I've tried each of the these several times to no avail. The machine will not start from the install disc. It keeps starting from the machine hard drive.
Are there any other suggestions how to force it to start from a startup disk?The installer disc problem is still a concern but in the meantime you can try booting to Safe Mode. Run Disk Utility again from Safe Mode and see if it still reports problems. Boot normally afterward.

[Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5- Computer shuts down during Safe Boot|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24054]
Safe boot mode runs a directory check command similar to that used by Disk Utility's repair. In Tiger it ignores some stored information (cache) that is normally read that speeds up the boot process, and it moves some other caches to the trash. It also uses only System fonts and disables all Startup Items, third party items, and any Login Items.
