Powerbook won't shutdown after installation of OS 10.4.11

What is the fix for this? So far, I have:
Repaired permissions
Booted in single user mode and run fsck
Rebuilt the directory with Disk Warrior
Disabled Dashboard
Reset the PRAM
Installed and run Applejack in AUTO mode
Plenty of disk space - that isn't the problem. Interestingly, Applejack couldn't restart the computer either. The error was "Failed to load DeleteTrap.kext".
The only way to shutdown the computer is to hold down the power button until it turns off. This is really bugging me! Any help is appreciated.

Hi allisonm, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Have you done a PRAM reset...

Tried resetting the PMU for PB/iB?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
I'd also find that file, see if it's locked or what, maybe move it to the desktop for a test too.

Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.

  • Assistant NET8 and DBCA won't start after installation HELP

    HEllo,
    I've installed oracle 9.01 and later on 8.1.7 i cannot use the assistants net 8 and dbca after installation. Does anybody have the same problem. I think is has something to do with jre versions.
    I alse got the same problem when i installed db9.0 and oracle appserver 1.2.2.2 on the same machine. SOme config assistant won't start after install.
    ALready tnx.

    Hello, yogendra k saini
    I'd installed oracle90 and 1.2.2 in different oracle homes. There was no error message. When i pressed the icon. Nothing happens.
    Yesterday i installed also a 8.1.7 database on the same machine as the 9.0.1.4 database. After a reinstallation of appserv 1.2.2a everything seems to work fine.
    but it is still a mystery for me why, because when i only install a 9.0.1.4 database and appserv 1.2.2.2 something goes wrong. Maybe APpserv 1.2.2. doesn't work fine with 9.0 database. That's not exactly true because i used appserv 1.2.2 for forms en reports...

  • DVD won't eject after installation

    I have just installed elements 11 and premier elements 11 and installation seemed to go OK.  After installation the DVD door won't open to retreive the DVD.  I have never had this happen before.  Any suggestions?

    Restart the computer and remove the discs.

  • Powerbook won't restart after security update

    I can not get my Powerbook G4 to restart after the latest security update. It acts like the hard drive is not there. What can I do?

    The first thing to do would be to boot from the Install & Restore disc that came with your machine by:
    1. Inserting the disc, pressing the power button, and immediately after the startup chime, press and hold the C key until you see the spinning gear icon appear on the grey splash screen.
    2. After the machine has booted, pick your language, and when the Installer window appears, do not press Continue, but go to the Utilities menu in the menubar and open Disk Utility.
    3. In Disk Utility, choose your normal startup volume in the pane on the left and then click Repair Disk. If any errors show in the window, run Repair Disk again until you see 'The volume appears to be OK' in green.
    4. Quit Disk Utility, quit the installer and attempt to restart into your regular startup volume.
    If that doesn't get you anywhere, you may need to re-install the OS from those disks.

  • Powerbook won't restart/ after interrupting the installaton of Leopard 10.5

    Having just installed Leopard on an older imac with no problems, I went to install it on my powerbook. It got to the window for selecting the destination and I realised I didn't have enough room. In order to remove some data, I followed the directions to quit installation and selected the mac hard drive. It asked if it was ok to launch with 10.4.?? which I agreed to.
    The Computer restarted but won't move off the grey screen with the little "processing" circle. I tried holding Option and ejected leopard, and selected the HD, but it still won't move on.
    HELP! have I lost everything?

    Are you using the iMac install disks to try to install Leopard on the Powerbook? If so, it won’t work. The disks that come with a computer are specific to that model. The retail version of Leopard (black and purple disk, not gray) is needed to install on a computer that did not come with Leopard installation disks.
    You didn’t say which Powerbook. Minimum requirements are: Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor, 512MB of physical RAM, DVD drive for installation.

  • ITunes won't open after installation

    I realize many have had the same problem of not being able to open iTunes after installing the 7.2 upgrade. However, I haven't gotten an error message at all, it just won't open. Quicktime is working fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    It appears and then disappears after a few seconds.
    okay. this (in conjunction with your other symptoms) is sounding like a digital signing issue with drivers on your PC that i've been seeing since the late iTunes 6.0.x days.
    try running through the "Resolution" section from the following document:
    Detecting digital signing issues in Windows XP
    does your itunes start launching again?
    (if so, it might be a good idea to download fresh definitions and run some vigorous spyware and virus scans. the initial deregistering of the dlls can be caused by malware.)

  • GRUB won't start after installation. Boots direktly to Windows 7

    Hello,
    I am having a hard time installing Arch next to Windows 7 on an UEFI Notebook.
    The partitions of the HDD (GPT) looks like this:
    sda1 Boot partition, fat32, 400 MiB. Mounted as GRUB Wiki says at /boot/efi
    sda2 swap
    sda3 Arch
    sda4 Windows 7
    First I install Windows 7 which workes without problems.
    After that is done I start installing Arch. All goes well without any errors till the end.
    For installing GRUB I use
    grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
    and
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    Both finish without errors.
    First problem is os-prober never mangaged to find Windows 7 by itself. Not once in 6 installation retries.
    Second problem. After I finished installtation and rebooting, GRUB doesn't show. It direktly starts to boot Windows.
    I'm following the Beginners Installation Guide step by step (except the GRUB part). What am I doing wrong?
    Are the Mountpoints wrong?
    I don't know which config files you need to help.

    It did change but only for this session. After a reboot, the order was reset again.
    But this is not the problem anymore.
    I have found the solution for this problem here: http://www.jsravn.com/2013/06/26/thinkp … -arch.html
    The only problem that still exists is that os-prober is not able to detect the existing Windows 7 partition and add it to the GRUB menu.

  • Photoshop Elements 8 won't launch after installation

    I get an error message that the application has been moved from it's original location, and needs some repairs, with an option to repair now or cancel, and when I click through to accept terms and use as a trial, it just disappears as if I never tried to open it.  Same with CS4 trial download.  I called Adobe, spent 2.5 hours on hold, then 2 hours doing various things which had no effect.  I called back today, and was on the phone for 2 hours, when I was disconnected, and wasn't called back, even though she REQUESTED my number for precisely that reason.  I'm trying to purchase an Adobe product, but if the trial won't work, then I'm not risking the money. 
    Mac, snow leopard 10.6.2

    I'm also on a Mac running 10.6.3 and Elements 8.
    I think the installation process malfunctioned.  I'd COMPLETELY DELETE the Photoshop Elements 8 folder in the Applications folder and start the installation process again.
    It's very easy to give a copy of an expensive application to a friend.  The application developers - like Adobe - don't like that because they don't make any money on the transaction.  They spent millions of dollars creating the application, so you really can't blame them.  So they all take creative steps to let an application determine if it is a genuine copy - or a bootleg copy. 
    One way to let the application determine if it is a genuine or bootleg copy is to create a hidden file in the application's folder.  The file is there, but you can't see it.  If you make a copy of everything in that application folder, you won't copy this hidden file because you can't see it. 
    The Mac's operating system file catalog knows this hidden file is there, because otherwise it might overwrite that unused hard disk space.  But it has been instructed not to tell you about the file's existence - and not to copy it with normal copy procedures.  Apple built this feature into the file catalog for its own use.  An important part of the operating system's files are kept invisible in the same way.  That prevents idiots from deleting important files - and engaging in do-it-yourself brain surgery.  So application developers use this feature for their own purposes.
    Each time the application starts running, it checks to see if that hidden file still is there.  If the file isn't there, then the application refuses to run.  I'd suspect that in your case, the hidden file isn't there.  I think that is what the "application has been moved" warning is telling you.  They don't want the warning to be too specific because they don't want to tell the hackers of the world one of their security features.
    There's no way you can re-create this hidden file - except to go through the installation process a second time.
    Remember that all this is my supposition.  I know that some application developers use this technique.  I don't know that Adobe is using it.  But what you are seeing is consistent with the application realizing that something important is missing - and refusing to run.

  • Mac won't shutdown after Leopard upgrade; Kernel trap report

    After upgrading to Leopard last week, my iMac has repeatedly failed to shut down properly. When I select shutdown, the system seems to be turning off as usual, closing all programmes and the screen switching off to black, but one fan is still left running. The fan keeps running indefinitely (I've left it overnight many times and it's still been running in the morning) and the only way I can shut it off is by manually holding down the power switch for 5 seconds.
    When I do that, and then turn the computer back on, I'm given a report mentioning a "kernel trap" etc, which I can't really decypher. If anybody could help me, I would really, really appreciate it.

    HI,
    I think it's a kernel panic you are experiencing. Possibly when you upgraded to Leopard, a 3rd party software/hardware isn't compatible.
    Go here to Resolve Kernel Panics
    *"my iMac has repeatedly failed to shut down properly"*
    Try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    The System Management Controller (SMC) is a chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMC may resolve it. The SMC controls several functions, including:
    Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so forth.
    Handling system resets from various commands.

  • Quicktime 7.1.1 won't open after installation

    I-tunes and Final Cut Pro won't open either. I just get the spinning wheel of death.
    I've deleted and re-installed it twice, repaired permissions and even tried to install an older version of Quicktime to get my system back. Does anyone know what is happening here? I just upgraded the OS to 10.3.9.
    Dual 1Ghz G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Should you need Quicktime 7, a Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is also available for use with older media or with existing AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.
    To install the QuickTime Player 7 from the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD:
    Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
    Open the Optional Installs folder and double-click "Optional Installs.mpkg".
    Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
    QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
    Note: If you double-click any media that requires QuickTime Player 7 for playback and it is not already installed, you will be asked if you want to download it from Apple.
    Hope this going to solve your problems.

  • Flash CS3 won't launch after installation

    Any Ideas
    I've just installed CS3 Web standard on 19 PC's ( Win XP SP2
    2 GB RAM) but for some reason Flash won't launch on some of these
    computers. When you try and launch Flash you get as far
    initializing fonts and then closes down.
    It's quiet strange Flash works on some of the 19 Computers
    which I must add are all identical and have the same software
    installed on them.
    Has anyone else had any issues with Flash?
    Irfan

    Well, it can get worse: my downloaded version will not
    install (Vista, run program as an administrator, even ruuning in
    compatibility mode). No matter what I do, after clicking setup.exe,
    there is a dead silence. No new process is launched.

  • PowerBook won't shutdown correctly, Everything just freezes!

    In the midst of updating quicktime and i-tunes the other day, somehow most of my computers functions became unresponsive. When I tried to force quit applications still nothing happened. I tried to shutdown my computer but it just got to a blank screen with just my desktop picture and it never turned off. The next morning finally I ended up forcing the shutdown by holding the power button. I restarted and things were off. The time along with most other things in the top right corner are no longer displayed. This I can't correct. Whenever I try to use an application it will work for maybe 15 seconds and then become unresponsive. Still nothing will force quit. Basically at this point I can't use my powerbook for anything, Safari, I-tunes, Ableton, quicktime, everything just freezes up. Please Help

    Today I tried to install FCP5.1 on my new MacBook Pro but It won't boot!
    I installed it, tried to open the program, but directly after going to the dock it dissapeared and did nothing. So I tried again, but I keep getting the same problem. You can't even see the program bouncing in the dock anymore, it tries to go to the dock, but stops right away..... Can anybody help me with this problem?

    Hey, fearless! Welcome back! Haven't seen you posting here for quite a while. Been busy, huh?
    Back on topic for the OP, see if this helps:

  • ITunes won't start after installation, get error "iTunes has encountered.."

    I've been reading up on this a bit in the forums, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer to fix this problem. Just today, I tried to install iTunes to my month-old computer. Installation seemed to go fine. However, now when I click on "iTunes" my computer goes immediately to:
    iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    I tried the MSConfig thing and that didn't do anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work, either.
    What I find weird is that after uninstalling, I try to install QuickTime all by itself, and the computer informs me there is already a version installed, but I never did and it does not show up under "control pannel, add or remove programs."
    If this helps, I copied this from the windows error:
    AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.0.2.16 ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 10001040
    I don't understand why this is happening, as this is a new computer, and I am the only user. This is XP Media Center Edition 2005
    Please help! I can provide whatever info is necessary for help!

    Read elsewhere of two files that needed to be removed in C:\windows\system32 in order for Quicktime to reinstall successfully. Upon doing so, I was then able to install iTunes. Seems to be working now!
