Powerbook does not finish start up

My Powerbook began yesterday to power on, go as far as the window where MAC OS-X is loading and then stops before the login window comes up. Just shows a blue screen. The mouse will move about. HELP!

I'm sorry I should have clarified that a little better. On your desktop should be the icon for the main hard drive. Double click that then look for the folder labeled Library. Once inside that folder look for one labeled Starup items. See if there is anything in that folder. If there is you can remove it and put it either on the desktop or in the trash (don't empty the trash yet as you may want to recover these files later if they're not corrupted). The iTunesHelper and SystemEvents should not be disrupting the login window. As a test however you can uncheck both of those items and see it the computer will start up normally (don't hold the shift key down). I don't know if you've made any recent changes to the system like installing applications or connecting a printer maybe?? Please post back with your progress.

MacBook Air does not finish start up and has a white screen, any suggestions?

It seems like the start up disk is full, but I can only restart or shut down

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

VS 2012 does not finish starting after installing ODAC 11.2 Release 5

I installed the ODAC 11.2 Release 5 (11.2.0.3.20) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio. When VS 2012 restarts the splash page comes up with a message to wait while an operation completes but it never does. Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem may be?
Running Win 7 Pro with VS 2012 Ultimate.
Paul

I would like to add some additional information to the above post. I am receiving the same error using the new release. The beta release worked fine. I completely uninstalled the beta and then installed the new release. Once installed, VS2012 stopped working. The splash screen comes up and then the little box stating that it is waiting for a background process to complete is displayed. That is it. From what I can tell, it is in a userwait state.
Unfortunately, when I uninstalled the component, it left some artifacts behind. When I now start VS2012, I get errors stating that Oracle ODT did not load correctly and then VS2012 stops working and exits. I am running VS2012 as administrator.
This behavior is exhibited on both Windows 8 and Windows7 Home Ultimate (both 64bit) and VS2012 ultimate.
The activity log shows what is giving the error, shows the following:

The above entry was thrown when VSDevTools had been removed from the system.
Unfortunately, I did not get any information about what exactly was causing the wait state when the Dev Tools for VS was installed. From Process Explorer, I could see that msenv.dll was chewing through cycles, waiting for multiple objects. I have stack prints for devenv.exe and msenv.exe as well as a thread screenshot if anyone is interested in seeing them.
Hopefully this will shed some light on what needs to be fixed.

In IPhoto, after I submit my book to the Apple store, it shows it uploading, but does not finish the process.

after I submit my book to the Apple store in I photo, it shows that it assembles and uploads, but does not finish the process. I cannot use the cancel button and have to force quit IPhoto to get out of the process.

Assuming you're referring to iPhoto on your Mac here are some potential fixes you can try:
1 -
Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked. If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.
2 -
Quit iPhoto.
From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.
3 -
Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try ordering from there.
Note: Create a proof pdf file of the book as described in this Apple document, iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture, before ordering the book and keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when it arrives.

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
Please help me.

I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
When you go to the iTunes download page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

Import From CSV File statement runs forever, no error, does not finish

Hello,
I am trying to import a CSV file in a JAVA program, with the following statement:
IMPORT FROM CSV FILE '/debug/testdatabase/FILE.csv'
INTO "JOSEPH"."TEST_TABLE"
WITH COLUMN LIST IN FIRST ROW
RECORD DELIMITED BY '\n'
FIELD DELIMITED BY '\t' ERROR LOG '/debug/testdatabase/file.err'
THREADS 10
BATCH 10000
I have two HANA instances on different machines A and B:
Both machines run HANA version 1.00.74.00.389160 (NewDB100_REL), while the OS is
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.1 on machine A and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.2 on machine B.
The statement above runs fine on machine A and the rows are imported properly from JAVA as well as when executed from HANA Studio SQL console.
If I copy the file to machine B and try the exact same statement with the same file, it does not finish (neither from JAVA nor from HANA Studio SQL console). There is no error either. It cannot be cancelled, only a HANA restart stops the statement. Also the sample file I use has only 2 rows, and memory does not seem to be a problem.
I seem to have a similar problem to the one described here, but the answers there do not help me: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3396582 I specified the record delimiter, and I used a python script to check for any strange characters that are not supposed to be there, but didn't find any.
If I copy the file to my windows PC and use the "File Menu -> Import -> SAP Hana Content -> Data from Local file" function, it imports the file correctly into B, but I need to be able to do it from JAVA.
Machine A administration view:
Machine B administration view:
If you have any idea what might cause this behavior or where I can find more information on this problem please give me a hint.

Hi Joseph,
First from the pics, the revision of your SAP HANA instance is 73 instead of 74. Since I have no identical environment, I cannot test it for you. But can you try the simplest scenario? You can create a table with only one column table try to import a CSV file with only one row.
Best regards,
Wenjun

SQL CASE statement in XML template- End tag does not match start tag 'group

Hi All,
I am developing a report that has the SQL CASE statement in the query. I am trying to load this into RTF with report wizard and it gives me below error
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: End tag does not match start tag 'group'
Does XML publisher support CASE statement?
My query is something like this
SELECT customercode,
SUM(CASE WHEN invoicedate >= current date - 30 days
THEN balanceforward ELSE 0 END) AS "0-30",
SUM(CASE WHEN invoicedate BETWEEN current date - 60 days
AND current date - 31 days
THEN balanceforward ELSE 0 END) AS "31-60",
SUM(CASE WHEN invoicedate < current date - 60 days
THEN balanceforward ELSE 0 END) AS "61>",
SUM(balanceforward) AS total_outstanding
FROM MyTable
GROUP BY customercode
ORDER BY total_outstanding DESC
Please advice if the CASE statement or the double quotes are causing this error
Thanks,
PP

I got this to work in the XML but the data is returning zeros for all the case statements. When I run this in toad I get results for all the case conditions but when ran in XML the data displayed is all zeros. I am not sure what I am missing. Can someone shed some light on this please
Thanks!

ADFS 2.0 service does not automatically start after reboot

Hello,
We have two ADFS 2.0 servers in a farm. Any time these servers reboot, the ADFS service does not automatically start, even though the service is set to auto start. If I manually start the service it starts within 10 seconds.
The error in the logs show:
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service to connect.
The AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
But after the reboot is completed, I can manually start the service with no problems. Again, this ONLY happens on restart. I've searched the forums and found potential solutions for people who have consistent issues with starting ADFS every time.
Any ideas?

UPDATE - I built a 3rd ADFS server and was unable to reproduce the problem, until...
I went in to the service properties of ADFS and saw that even though I specified a Log On As account during the ADFS wizard, it changed itself back to "Network Service". I re-entered our ADFS service account username and password, it was
accepted, and I rebooted. On the next reboot, the service did not start automatically (with the same errors as the other ADFS servers), but I was able to manually start it.
I then went to the original ADFS server having the problem, switched it to use "Network Service", rebooted, and the service started up properly on reboot. I then changed it back to the named domain service account, and the issue came right
back. There are no other errors in the System Log indicating a problem with anything else.
So my guess is that something is happening to prevent the service from starting with the named Domain account on server reboot. But what?

SEM_APIS.BULK_LOAD_FROM_STAGING_TABLE does not finish

Hi all,
I am trying to bulk load an N-Triples file using a staging table according to instructions given in documentation (RDF Semantic Graph Overview).
The file contains about 23,000,000 triples, and I have split it in 16 files of 1,437,500 triples, in order to load them in parallel.
First I successfully load these files into the staging table by invoking the following command, which needs about 1 minute to finish:
BEGIN
SEM_APIS.LOAD_INTO_STAGING_TABLE(
    staging_table => 'STAGE_TABLE'
   ,source_table => 'STAGE_TABLE_SOURCE'
   ,input_format => 'N-TRIPLE'
   ,parallel          => '16');
END;
Then, I call SEM_APIS.BULK_LOAD_FROM_STAGING_TABLE to load data into the semantic store:
BEGIN
    SEM_APIS.BULK_LOAD_FROM_STAGING_TABLE(
        model_name => 'rdfmodel',
        table_owner => 'rdfuser',
        flags       => 'PARSE PARALLEL_CREATE_INDEX PARALLEL=16 MBV_METHOD=SHADOW',
        table_name => 'stage_table'
END;
However, this operation does not finish. I left it running for more than 5 hours and not any triple is inserted into the table mdsys.semm_rdfmodel.
Also, I have observed that even if PARALLEL parameter is set the most CPUs remain idle. Usually, only one or two CPUs are used to a percentage more than 50% (I check it using htop).
Any hint about how I can find out what goes wrong will be very appreciated!
Best regards,
George

Hi Souri,
thank you for you advices!
I enabled parallel dml but the results are the same. I, also, created the RDF$ET_TABLE and it seems that the events that do not finish are FIND_AND_RESOLVE_BATCH_DUPS and -find_BATCH_DUP_SELECTIONS.
To find unfinished events I posed the query:
SELECT DISTINCT proc_sid, event_name, start_time, end_time, start_comment, end_comment
FROM RDF$ET_TAB
WHERE end_time IS NULL
ORDER BY start_time ASC;
and the results are the following:
PROC_SID
EVENT_NAME
START_TIME
END_TIME
START_COMMENT
END_COMMENT

I suppose that these events are about duplicates. So, I thought that adding the flag DEL_BATCH_DUPS=USE_INSERT to the sem_apis.bulk_load_from_staging_table call would help. I added this flag and retried. The storing, again, did not finish after 5 hours but the results of the query for the unfinished events are slightly different:

END_TIME

Creating Oracle Inventory Installation Step Does Not Finish and Hangs at 99% while installing Hyperion 11.1.1.4

Hi Guys,
Creating Oracle Inventory Installation Step Does Not Finish and Hangs at 99% while installing Hyperion 11.1.1.4.I'm running the installer from a local drive and also noticed that the uninstaller files are not created.The installer process has been running for 4+ hours.
Any suggestions/tips?
Thanks
Manoj

hi John,
we left the installer running overnight, but the install process has still not completed.Also it has not created any uninstaller files under the following directory:
E:\APPS\Hyperion\uninstall
what could be the reason for that?
Thanks.

I have had FPCX since Sept, first used Oct. I have not had one 'movie' export properly, first time since using FPCX. Audio stops completely at some point and does not re-start. Any ideas, folks?

First, I suggest you limit the subject line of your question to a few words which will help someone identify the problem you are encountering. Putting the entire question there looks as though you are shouting.
It would help anyone to identify your problem if you were to say what video codec (file format) you are using, and describe the method you are using in your attempts to export it.
You could also list any relevant error messages you encounter.
What version of FCP X are you using?
All these things will make it easier for people to help you.
