  • Linux: problem booting mac os. please help me

    hi all,
    i've a macbook pro 17''
    i had to try a linux program for pano in 3d. i decided to try the live cd of ubuntu.
    the live cd seems not functioning (no matter) but now i cant restart my macbook?
    the only operatione i made before testinf the live cd was to change the boot from hard disk to the cd?
    what can i do? i cant start my mac os x...
    please help!!!!

    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select your OS X volume and click on the down arrow button that appears. The computer should start up in OS X. Eject the CD from the optical drive. Open Startup Disk preference and select the OS X volume for the startup, then click on the Restart button. This should return your system to OS X startup.
    In the future you do not need to change the startup volume using Startup Disk in order to boot from a CD or DVD. Simply insert the disc in the optical drive then restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the "C" key until the gray startup screen appears. Release the key when the spinning gear appears.

  • Problem on Mac OS [ColorSync/Profiles/EW-sRGB    Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.]

    Problem on Mac OS [ColorSync//Profiles/EW-sRGB
    Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.]
    My screen contrast has gone awry and the ColorSync Utility is unable to fix the problem. In searching the wisdom of the web, I found a response from 2009 on another forum, which referenced this forum. But the thread is gone. The information was in regard to the Color Profiler. Can anyone help? Has anyone had to deal with this? I found a lot of people looking to fix this, but not a lot of follow-up replies with answers. I have tried reinstalling the file from a back-up and re-booting, but to no avail. Some have suggested a problem with the Epson software. But without any detail, I don't know what to look to change. Any help, advice, cures, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Sorry, I thought you asked what course of action to take.
    It means the data for that "tag" in the profile is not the size expected - I know, that's obvious too. The 'dmnd' tag contains the manufacturer's description.
    http://www.oyranos.org/wiki/index.php?title=DeviceSettings_in_ICC0.2
    You could try opening it in ColorSync Utility and editing the tag.

  • Dual boot Mac OS X and Arch: Arch installer cannot find CD drive?

    Hi, everyone!  A friend convinced me to install Arch about a month ago on my desktop and I've loved it so much that I want to dual boot Mac OS X and Arch on my Macbook Pro 7.1.
    So I have a Macbook Pro 7.1.  I have partitioned the drive in Mac OS X and installed rEFIt.  I have the Arch x86_64 disk which I know works because I installed Arch on another computer. 
    When I boot from CD I get the familiar Arch screen with options "Boot Arch Linux, existing OS... etc."  I click boot Arch, and it starts to load.  However, it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201005 ... ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds... Falling back to interactive prompt.  /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off."
    After searching around the forums, some people said they had similar problems attempting to install via USB.  I used "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" and my CD drive does not show up in ramfs.. What can I do to install this amazing OS on my MB Pro 7.1?
    Thank you for your time!

    Solved!  sledgehammer and MrE (sorry, I can't spell it) in IRC helped me out.  I had to download a newer iso that offers better Mac hardware support.  2010-12 iso

  • Unable to boot Mac OS X

    Yesterday I decided to install Windows on my MacBook. I had both a Windows XP installation disk and a Vista Upgrade disk. I successfully did both according to the Boot Camp instructions. After tweaking Vista and downloading software and upgrades that I wanted to use on Vista I tried to reboot Mac OS X and I can't. What happens is the grey Apple logo appears for a split second and is then replaced by a circle with a line through it like a do not enter sign. From here my computer just boots up Vista. I have tried booting Mac OS X by choosing to do so through the Boot Camp Control Panel in Vista and have also just tried turning the computer off and booting up using the option key to select the Macintosh partition. Both ways produce the same result I described above. If anybody knows how I can fix this problem that would be great! Thanks!

    try booting off the leopard installation disk and run disk utility and verify the disk and disk permissions. if nothing shows up wrong there, you might have to reinstall the mac system. you won't have to delete any data for this, just archive the old system and make a new one (yes, you can do this all off booting up on the leopard disk).

    kind regards
    Gerard Lieshout

    Hi Gerard,
    Are you certain there's no traces of MacKeeper left?
    I have no idea how they can get away with advertising MacKeeper at all.
    You really really need to uninstall it, but maybe not using their uninstaller.
    Klaus1's great post on MacKeeper...

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Reboot & see if Flash Installer works.

  • How do create I dual-boot Mac?

    I have recently installed Lion OS but have found that some Power Pc programmes don't work with Lion. I still want to use these applications. Is it possible to set up a dual-boot mac keeping Lion but also having Snow Leopard as well so I can use these apps, and how is this done?
    Any help welcome
    thanks

    I have done the same thing as you are talking about without problems.
    Have a look here for instructions on how to do it (btw, it assumes you have the white SL install disk).

  • Crucial M4 SSD MBP "There was a problem installing Mac OS X" Try Reinstalling

    So I have an extra ssd. I decide to put it in my MPB mid or late 2009 to give it some extra life.
    I am doing a fresh install from a thumb drive. The macbook find the partition and boots into the installer. about 10 seconds into progress bar this appears: "There was a problem installing mac os x" Try reinstalling.
    The progress bar goes away.
    The thumb drive is good... it installed on my mother's laptop just fine.
    I have the ssd in the place of the old Hdd until my adapter comes around to put one of them in the opti bay.
    Does anyone have any ideas or has seen this before?

    I forgot to mention a fresh mountain lion install. The M4 has latest firmware as of today.

  • Can't boot Mac Os 10.7 (Lion) to 64-bit mode anymore

    Can't boot Mac Os 10.7 (Lion) to 64-bit mode anymore, after booting to 32-bit.

    I was able to resolve the problem by installing Flash Player 11.7.700.169 from the direct download installer:

  • 10.4.10 update and very strange problem with Mac Mini

    Dear All,
    I have just updated my Mac Mini Intel and I am having a strange problem.
    My Mac Mini has problems booting up. Sometimes I get through the login screen as normal but my wallpaper shows and there are no desktop icons, no dock, no top of screen finder menu bar. Some other times I get stuck in the progress bar of the booting up.
    I tried to run utilities from install disk and there were no problems detected.
    The VERY STRANGE thing is that several times now as I put my fingertip onto the power button laying it on the button but not pressing it yet (because I would like to shut down the system), the system kicks in and becomes unfrozen!!!
    Someone in the 123macmini.com forum says that this problem is related to the airport receiver which is near the power button.
    What do you think about it???
    MacBook and MacMini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    ok, I have found a kind of fix for the problem, although may run a hardware test to check something!.
    I unplugged all USB and Firewire devices, I turned off Bluetooth and Airport, reinstalled the 10.4.10 combo update, when it restarted the starting mac osx screen took barely a second or 2 to load (my comment above is becuase from when I first got it on Sunday I noticed it was slow to boot up, also noticed that the screen resoulution I have set does not kick in until I log on, although this may be becuase this mac mini is an intel one). The computer booted up very quickly and I tuend on bluetooth and airport with no issues and plugged all the usb and fireware devices back in. I again turned the airport off and restarted and again it booted up very quickly logged on and swithced the airport back on. I decided to reboot with the sirport on and it got stuck at the end of the os x starting up screen, I waited a few mins switched it off and on again and it booted up fine although slower. I dont mind turning the airport off when I power down as the mac usually stays on anyway. I assume Apple will release a fix for this as a lot of people seem to have the problem so think I will stay put with this for the time being. It was taking a several goes to get to the login screen before but usually got there every few boots.

    Somewhere at either Macworld or here I learned that DVDSP 2, DVDSP 3 and now DVDSP 4 "internally" are major re-writes.
    Support for HD among a few other items along with QT 7 which comes with Tiger means sincerely that one set of applications/OS is not going to be stable.
    Personally I think of all the issues possible its DVDSP vs QT.
    Unless you move to DVDSP v4 the alternative is to wipe the disk and go back to Jaguar (10.2) or perhaps Panther but avoid upgrading QT beyond 6. I advocate wiping the disk because I'n not sure an archive and install to down shift to an earlier version of the OS is possible. If it is I'd still worry about mis-matched files in all sorts of locations.

    If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.

    my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...
