Presario 1610nx- Will not boot up -even with provided HP recovery Disk or system restore

Dead in the water- the computer had a system recovery disk - all the exe and bat files on the disk do not lead to any restore ractivity- but by doing either the f8 or f10 we WERE ABLE to get to a system retore screen - no date options so assumed this was to original set up however, when it started it ran slow and after a few hours stopped with an error messsage with less than 30% restore completed. The message states something like this assume not found Multi(0) Disk(0) rDisk(0) Partision2\windows\system32\KDcom.DLL then repeats all but the last which changes to other files NTOSKRNL.EXE HAL.DLL ETC
My mother in law whose computer it is never did any recovery disks and assumed the one supplied by HP was all she would need if it came to that-- Am I missing a restore disk command- the bat files will run but alas no restore and best success is getting to a prompt with no next steps.
So have tried looking for info here but nothing has come up like this. Does any one have suggestions?

If your iMac came with or is running Lion, startup holding either the Command-R keys or the Option key and select the recovery partition and then use Disk Utility to repair the Macintosh HD.
see > OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
If your running Snow Leopard or earlier OS X, pop in your Install DVD and startup holding either the Option or C key, then open and use Disk Utility to repair the Macintosh HD.

I just Installed Yosemite update on MacBook Pro retina late 2013 will not boot flashing folder with ?

dunno, Lynn--maybe Etrecheck. trying running disk utility to verify the status of your hard drive. That may give you a basic idea. Perhaps tech tool pro. As for it running hot, I can't say for sure. try shutting it down and using a vacuum clearner +crevice tool around the back of it. It's been my experience that hard drives usually fail without a lot of warning, luckily you have a backup. Afterwards you can say "Yup, that went bad". I've done a little research and found out that your MacBook Pro doesn't come with a conventional hard drive as such, but an SSD (solid state device) . It's upgradeable (up to 1 TB ) but not cheaply
go here for more info (OWC) :http://eshop.macsales.com. For right now, I'd recommend resetting the SMC/PMU, maybe zapping the pram . to do that, reboot, hold down Apple+Option, P+R keys while rebooting. Hold down for 3 chimes, let go and let it boot. as for the SMC thing....
I'm assuming your battery isn't removeable-shut down computer, plug in MagSafe cable . On built in keyboard, on left side, press Shift-Control-Option and power button at the same time. release all the keys and the power button. press power button again to turn on computer
that is all

Macbook Pro will not boot up / circle with line in it

Mid 2012 MacBook Pro bought brand new
OS X Yosemite
Core i7
16Gb memory (upgraded shortly purchase)
500Gb SATA
About a month ago my laptop started running really slow then locked up, I had to hard power down and every since it will not boot up, all I get is a circle with a line through it.
It will not boot to restore DVD
It will not open safe mode
it will not boot to USB
I have removed the memory (2 x 8gb) and tested one at a time did not help
Removed the HDD and tried to boot to DVD did not help
like I was saying above this all happened at once one min it was good then it locked and I have never got the OS to boot up again

I was going to say try single user Command/ S. but you tried that. You say you tried a dvd. What OS was on it. The 2012 Macbook Pro does not come with a bootable dvd, unless you make one . And it has to be an OS that is the same on newer than the year of the Macbook. Will it start to the recovery partition by Holding the option key or Option/ R at start. Also your machine is suppose to be able to boot to internet recovery using Command/Option/ R. Did you try that. Need to find out if it's the hard drive or something else. Having some kind of USB external boot drive would help. There is also internet hardware diagnostics by holding down Option/D at start up.

Computer will not boot up. I have tried running disk utility and re-installing OSX. It says disk locked

I am new to Macs and have bought a 13" Macbook Pro and a IMac 21.5" 14 months ago. I have only used the Macbook pro about 15-20 times and after upgrading to Maverick it will not boot up. I get the white screen and a spinning circle. I have tried Disk utility repair and even re-installing the OSX, but it says disk locked. I do not recall setting any password protections or passwords. I now have a brick with a lit up Apple logo. If anyone knows how I can bypass the disk lock error or reset the laptop, please let me know. This has not been a pleasant conversion from PC's. Even my IMac blacks out from time to time and both happened right after my factory warranty expired.

The internal drive is malfunctioning. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

IMac with 10.6.6 will not boot from external with 10.4.11

My MacBook Pro with 10.6.6 will boot from that same external with 10.4.11 but the iMac does not. Why not?
1. When the iMac is starting up with the Option key depressed, the bootable 10.4.11 appears normally and can be selected. But when I click on the circle below the bootable icon, the computer freezes.
2. When I have the iMac running and try to change the startup volume via the Preferences, the bootable icons are present but are not active.
Is there a setting on the iMac I need to reset? Or, is it not possible to boot from the 10.4.11 external?
Specs:
MacBook Pro Processor - 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, Memory - 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
iMac Processor - 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3, Memory - 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

The answer is dependent upon what version of OS your machines came with (and the install disks are machine/build specific) - no Mac can boot from a system older than what was supplied with the machine. So, if your MBP originally came with 10.4.x and you upgraded it since, it can still be booted from the earlier version. If your iMac came with 10.6.3 for instance, it can only be booted with 10.6.3 or later.

Compaq Presario CQ57 - Will not boot after ram install

I was upgrading the ram on my father's old compaq, and was going along fine. I got the ram in, closed it all up, and went to boot it.
I was greeted with a black screen, a blinking caps lock light, a blinking power button light and the orange wifi light. I've made sure it has no static multiple times, and have tried slowly reintroducing power sources. I have cleaned the ram and the input, swapped out ram cards, everything anf nothing seems to work. When I turn it on I hear the CPU fan, and a single beep, then silence after a few more seconds.
Anyone wanna help me with this? I'm a mac lass now a days, so this is a bit out of my memory.

Nomad MuVo will not power on even with a new battery. USB works fine, just No Green

It was working fine. I didn't use it for a couple of weeks and thought the battery was dead. But it will not even come on with a new battery. Any suggestions?

Since it connects properly to the pc, I suggest loading the latest firmware into it.

Make sure that is the correct firmware for your exact Muvo model. If not, then choose the proper one.

Powermac G4 will not boot from CD with OS10 install BUT will boot with OS 9

I have a Powermac G4 which had been running OS 10.38 or 39. The system on start up would sound the tones, the grey screen with Apple logo displays and the rotating clock at the bottom of the screen ultimately freezes and nothing more happens.
I presume that the hard drive is either smoked or corrupted so I buy a replacement drive and Tiger, and go through the following steps:
I disconnect the old drive and try to boot my g4 with Tiger install disks. The start up freezes in the same way as with old disk.
I find my old Panther install disks and the system freezes in the same way.
I then use my 9.2 install disk and the system boots and I get cannot see my new drive.
I disconnect my new drive, reconnect my old drive and re-boot with 9.2 and find my old drive mounts. Big Smile but...
here is the question:
Since I apparently have a still functional drive, why won't my install CD for Panther or DVD for Tiger not boot this system???? I do have a panasonic DVD/CD writer which is aftermarket if that might be the issue. If so would re-installing the apple CD player make a difference?
(I have also zapped the PRAM)
I am on the way out to try and find a copy of disk warrior to try and salvage my old drive. All help would be appreciated.
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I had a really weird problem that might be something like you're experiencing. I was trying to get Tiger onto a "Yikes" PCI G4, and it would not boot up with the Tiger disk.I did everything I could come up with, and no luck. I spent a good bit of time here and over at macosx.com, and no one could figure it out. I finally just re-installed 10.2.8 on a partition, and for some unknown reason, the computer booted with the Tiger disk, and I was able to install. I let the people on the boards know it, but didn't go back to tell them what happened the next day. When I tried to restart, it would only boot into OS9. If I tried to force Tiger (like by choosing it as start-up) it would go to a black screen. Anyway, it ended up no go. If you'd like to go through all the things I did, here's the link to that thread:
http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/272035-cant-install-tiger- g4-pci-yikes.html
I would still like to know if there's some reason some "Yikes" models just can't deal with Tiger.

I have an Apple wireless keyboard that will not turn on, even with new batteries. The contacts seem fine. What could be the problem?

My wireless keyboard will not turn on despite new batteries. It is about 8 years old. The contacts seem to be good. What could be the problem?

Hi elljohnson,
It is important when replacing discharged batteries in the Apple Wireless Keyboard to make sure the new batteries are oriented correctly. See this article for directions -

V3-5727105 will not boot up from HDD or from Recovery CD.

4 weeks ago when I switched on my laptop I got a blue screen message during start-up saying a problem had been encountered and it needed to restart to try to fix the problem, then just a dark grey screen and nothing.Laptop is only 7 months old. Contacted Tech Support and they stated I needed Recovery CDs and provided me with a set after I paid £60.Tried to boot from Recovery CD and got Acer Recovery Management to load, but after selecting restore to factory settings the laptop entered into a never ending cycle of 'analysing HDD' , attempting to fix HDD'.Left the laptop running for 12 hours and that was the only two messages I saw on the screen.No option to 'exit as problem encountered' so I had to power down my laptop to escape the 'loop'.Tech Support now wants me to try to format my HDD by taking my laptop to a local PC repair shop.Why am I being asked to do all the diagnosis work on a 7 month old PC? Surely it should be fixed under the manufacturers warranty?Could someone please explain what trying to format my HDD will show?Thanks

Update ..... My laptop would not boot up from the recovery disc as it turned out the hard drive required to be re-formatted to clear the fault. I was told by the PC Repair company that no matter what I tried I would not have been able to fix/clear the fault. Given it appears to have been a software corruption issue, after reading the Acer Warranty I have found out that I have to pay for the repair as the machine hardware remains in g.w.o. and the laptop is back in full working order once again. The PC Repair man did say however that if I had phoned him first instead of Acer Technical Support, I would not have needed to pay Acer for the set of Recovery discs as he would have provided a fresh installation of Win 8.1. at a fraction of the price! Lesson learned.

I updated to 3.6 whatever. It wiped out my settings. I was unable to go online even with IEx. Had to do system restore, delete FF & reload 3.5. bummer. What's with that?

It didn't crash, it would not open. Internet expl0rer would open but could not get online. I was connected to the wifi but the program could not find any webpages. Now I am back online with 3.5 and will not update again unless you can give me answers. I'm tired of blowing hours on this kind of crap.

dietmarfromdeu,
if you start up your iMac in Safe mode, do you still have Bluetooth problems with your Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse?

P45 Platinum will not boot Server 2008 with 2x2GB...

I was working through the night last night to get my new rig built and installed with the new SP2 of Server 2008 and was having problems that seem to point to the mobo not liking the optimized settings for my 2x2GB. Hopefully my signature has all the system specs necessary - but do ask if I've left anything out.
What I did:
- Built system with minimal HW:
CPU & cooler, PSU, 2x2GB (slots 1 & 3), GeForce 8600, 2x250GB SATA2 HDs (ports 7 & 8 for JMicron) , 1xSATA2 DVD-RW
- Got POST and configured BIOS:
Load optimized defaults, reset time.
- Added Rest of HW, got POST and configured RAID:
- Integrated Peripherals - RAID Mode: RAID
- Integrated Peripherals - On-Chip ATA Devices - RAID Mode: IDE
- Save & Exit
- CTRL-J: Built 2x250GB JMicron RAID
- Boot to Server 2008 install DVD
- Loaded RAID driver and installed to RAID
- Installation continued (at a wonderfully fast pace), until it hung about 90% through
- Tried re-installing several times, trying things like reconfiguring RAID, using different drivers, etc.
- Then I removed the 2nd RAM in DIMM 3, and re-install completed without a hitch.
- Booted from RAID, configured Server 2008.
- Installed drivers for Intel P45 Chipset, GeForce 8600, Ethernet, and Audio
- Retried having 2 x 2GB in DIMM 1 & 3, and reboot hung during Server 2008 loading bar
- Tried DIMM in 2 & 4 with same results. Again, system POSTs with no problem, seeing all 4GB. But OS hangs on load.
- Ran MemTest on each RAM separately, with no problems after an hour each.
- Put the 1 RAM back in DIMM 1 and used LiveUpdate to successfully Flash BIOS from v1.2 to v1.6
- Reconfigured BIOS (optimized defaults and JMicron RAID)
- Rebooted to Server 2008 successfully with only 1 RAM in DIMM 1
- Tried DIMM in 1 & 3 and 2 & 4, and again hung on OS load.
- With only 1 RAM installed, the OS flies. I did lots of application and utility experimentation to ensure all was functional and stable. Even Defraged the RAID, so I'm pretty sure no HDD problem.
Based on all the forum posts I've read, I'm not sure about why it POSTS but doesn't load the OS, but I bet it has something to do with the mobo being unstable with the default settings for this RAM. Seems too bad as I tried to pick a decent RAM for future OC potential.
Out of fairness, I should point out that I have not yet tried blowing away the OS and reinstalling with my only other option - XP Pro SP3 - and seeing how that fairs. My guess is that it too will be unstable.
Fortunately, I'm still having fun tinkering - so no real frustration to speak of. But any advice on what to do next would be much appreciated...

Finally, in response to RemusM's request, here's the CPU-Z info for Memory, SPD and CPU using the Optimized Default BIOS settings and 1x2GB in DIMM 1:
Then, I spent a late night last night browsing the forums and searching the web. I found a dude with the same mobo, memory and an E8400. He was having similar problems and listed some recommended BIOS Cell settings. I put in my 2x2GB, removed the HW OC FSB jumpers on the mobo and entered the following settings into BIOS Cell and gave it a try:
Multi-Step OC Booster: Mode1
DOT Control: Disabled
Intel EIST: Enabled
Intel C-STATE Tech: Disabled
Adjust CPU FSB Freq: 400
Advancd DRAM Config: (all Auto)
Enhance Settings: Auto
NB Drive Configure: Auto
FSB/DRAM Ratio: 1:1.00 (1333:667)
Clock Gen Tuner: (all Auto)
Adj PCI Freq: Default
Auto Disable DRAM/PCI Freq: Enabled
CPU Voltage - ICH Voltage: (all Auto)
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
Not only did now my system now boot successfully into the OS for the first time with 2x2GB installed, but it seemed stable through my OS config and application installs. What's more, for the cost of taking the DRAM down to 800MHz, I now had the CPU at 3.8GHz!
Here's the new CPU-Z results:
What's next:
- I need to further test stability by downloading and running some decent benchmarks of some type
- I'd love to get some advice on how I could further tune the above settings for increased stability and even better performance, as the memory and CPU seem capable of more if the mobo is...
Thank you for the input and attention so far. Please keep it coming...

Re: P45 Platinum will not boot Server 2008 with 2x2GB... -l- split

Can I ask how one would go about setting a CAS Latency of 7 or 8 on the Platinum p45?
I have the same crucial PC2-8500 and BIOS 1.6. I'm happily running the RAM @ 500MHz, 6, 7, 7, 24 (I think!) and FSB 375.
I would love to go further but can't set the CAS Lat' higher than 6 (options run 'Auto' through '6').
I understand PC2-8500 isn't supported by p45 but having read the last post here wondered if it SHOULD be possible to reach this RAM's full potential on the Platinum p45 with such timings 7, 7, 7, 20 or 7, 8, 8, 25 etc??
I have read on this forum that some have had RAM issues with BIOS 1.6 and I will try the 1.7D beta BIOS.
However any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
D.

Sorry Henry - I thought it was quite on topic.
This particular RAM default @ 1067 7, 8, 8, 24.
So when 'Optimized defaults' are loaded the Platinum p45 sets timings of 6,8,8,24 @1067 and thus the system wont boot (The origin of the Server 2008 boot problem no?!)!
The last post in that thread indicates that a CAS Lat' of 7 or 8 could be used.
The question is can a CAS Lat of 7 or 8 be set on the Platinum P45 or is this post simply saying "it could be. On another motherboard"?
Cheers
D
