Program no longer boots

I'm using InDesign 4.0.5 and it no longer boots. It gets to "starting services" then unexpectedly quits. I send a crash report to Adobe, and that's the end of it. No more InDesign. I've taken to using my laptop now, but it's a pain. I want to use the software I paid for! It was working fine for a couple of years, then suddenly stopped. Help! I'm using Mac OSX.

Thanks, Cindy! That sort of worked, but then I found the plug in that makes pdfs was damaged. So I ended up reinstalling InDesign from my installer disk and that worked! Yay! I'm up and running again.

[SOLVED] After pacman update, system no longer boots

Updated pacman packages, and half-way through the upgrade proces fails (it mentions not being able to find package-control). Upon investigating, I notice no programs are working. I ls /usr/bin and it is empty! In a panic, I restart the machine, and it no longer boots up.
My boot is on sda3 and /root is sda5.
When bash starts up, it loads the kernel fine, and then after a second it panics and exclaims: "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg".
I load up my trusty Arch livecd and fsck the partitions. Fsck claims both partitions are clean. I am able to mount them and examine the file structure: all files look like they are there. I then try to chroot the mounted partition (sda5, my /root), and get the error that "/bin/bash" is not found, even though it is there in the correct directory. Not sure what to do now.
My grub entry, which has always worked fine prior to this:
legacy_kernel '/linux344-ck' 'acpi_osi=Linux' 'root=/dev/sda5' 'rootfstype=ext4' 'init=/sbin/init' 'pcie_aspm=force' 'acpi_backlight=vendor' 'i915.i915_enable_rc6=1' 'i915.i915_enable_fbc=1' 'i915.lvds_downclock=1' 'ipv6.disable=1' 'i915.semaphores=1' 'modprobe.blacklist=bluetooth,uvcvideo' 'ro'
legacy_initrd '/initramfs-linux-fallback.img' '/initramfs-linux-fallback.img'
UPDATE: solved issue. I didn't read the news. Upgrading via pacman broke my system because of this. Now I know! System is running smooth again.

Huh. I guess the problem was a couple of stale and crusty {,f}getty .service files, and an obsolete slim.service file I created a while back.
Removing them fixed my problem, although tty1 still shows boot messages (not a problem, and may not even be "new" behaviour)

Macbook no longer boots

Hi,
This past Tuesday night I downloaded the new software updates for my macbook. There was an error during the installation and the updates did not complete. A screen popped up on my macbook which told me that I needed to re-start my macbook. I clicked ok and re-started. After the re-start my macbook will not boot, and remains stuck on the screen which reads "Starting Mac OS X..." I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC, as well as using the Disk Utility to repair the disk. So far nothing has worked and the macbook remains stuck in boot-limbo...
Has anyone experienced anything similar after installing apple updates? Any help would be appreciated. Bought my macbook in June 2006 and my applecare just expired this past june.
Thanks!

Hi,
i'm following the disscussion since i've notice that my problem is very similar to UptownTopRanking. My macbook freezed when i was uptading (4 uptade at the time including Mac OS X). I shut it down by pressing the power button for few seconds.
And after the computer no longer boots and freeze on the grey screen.
I've tried the solutions proposed on the apple support page but it still not working.
When i saw this topic, i tried to do the same, archive and install the Mac OS X program with my original CD.
The problem is that everytime I'm trying to install it, the program stop after few minutes an ask me to reboot because and error occured. The Error message says : (i'm translating from french)
The installation program didn't succeed to install some files in the "/Volumes/MacintoshHD". Contact the editor of the program to have some help.
And then they ask me to restart the computer, and when i'm trying to intall again, the installation process is still crashing..
Is there anything i can do?

My trusty Mac LC no longer boots from the HD

I purchased a new Mac LC many years ago and it has served me well until recently when it would no longer boot from the hard drive. When I boot from a Disk Tools floppy, I get some limited success but do not ever hear the HD spin up. The startup chime also does not sound. When used as the boot disk and trying to use the installer option, the program can't find a SCSI drive, only the floppy drive. The 5V & 12V to the HD are right on and a new PRAM battery is installed. I can load and run programs using the floppy drive but that requires a lot of disk swapping. I tried substuting a tested Apple LC HD with the same results and now I suspect the problem is not the HD but is somewhere else. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks to Jan & Jeff for their quick response to my question. Here is some additional background information which may give you both some more ideas.
The original 40 MB HD was replaced with a 120 MB HD along with an increase in RAM to 4 MB sometime in the first year after I bought the LC. The 40 MB HD was installed in an APS (?) external SCSI box with its own power supply. OS 7 was just becoming available and Apple gave me a set of disks even though OS 6.x was in the computer so I put OS 7 on the external (40 MB) HD. Everything worked great for 20 years although there were periods of intermittent use when I used other computers for work, Internet, and e-mail. I powered up the external HD infrequently but it worked fine the last time I tried it some months back.
Then when I fired the LC up 6 or 7 weeks ago, it would not boot unless I turned the power switch on & off 2 or 3 times in succession then everything functioned normally. Then it would not boot at all even from the external HD.
Now, to address some of your comments and observations:
All connectors, plugs, SIMMs, and socketed RAM devices were removed, examined and replaced. All electrolytic caps showed no signs of leakage or swelling and the PWB looked in its original condition.
The +5, -5 and +12 voltages measured at the power supply connector were within 1%. When I originally thought I had a HD problem, I opened up the 120 MB HD and when trying to boot, the platter would give a slight twitch with no tendency to spin. A friend of a friend (a MAC serviceman) brought a couple of vintage drives SCSI over to try with similar results. The Apple HD I purchased was tested and guaranteed, although wiped clean. It has since been returned. As I said in my original question, the Installer on the floppy could not find a SCSI drive. In all of my efforts I could never get any of the hard drives to spin up.
Although I have a MacMini (OS 10.6.8), I still used the LC because for drawing schematics and floor plans, printing labels, etc., simple is better for me. Is there any hope that I can get my LC working again?
Many thanks for your help and suggestions. len-35

Lenovo T60p no longer boots

Greetings,
Well, now that I have repaired the fan problem, I am afraid I have created one.
My T60p originally had a drive with two partitions on it. A 90GB primary partition, and a 5GB secondary partition. Since I had to re-install the OS, the 5GB partition is no longer in use.
I tried to user Hirens utilities like Fdisk to see if I could use the space. I tried formating the space with an NTFS file system. That is all I did. Since then, the machine no longer boots.
However, using Hirens utilities, and instead of booting with the Hirens disk, I choose to boot from the hard drive, using NTFS. The machine booted fine so all my information is there.
How do I get it to boot without the Hirens disk now? It no longer gives me access to the programs that were on the disk....
Regards,
Jean-Pierre
P.S. I am trying to fix this myself, as with all issues on my laptop, before I take it to the Geek Squad. Thank you
for your input.
Here are the specs of the machine.

Hello,
It sounds like the primary partition may no longer be marked as "startable" or "active" in the partition table of data located at the end of the master boot record, which is what the MBR code uses to determine which partition's boot sector to load.
If you have a Windows XP installation disc, you can try booting from that, starting the Recovery Console (instead of an operating system installation) and using the FixMBR and FixBoot commands to repair the MBR and boot sector (for good measure), respectively.

Resizing Windows Partition - No Longer Booting

Whenever I attempt to setup a Windows/Linux Dual boot I get hit with this same dilemma. I start off with a NTFS format partition with Windows XP on it. As soon as I resize the partition, it no longer boots. Even before installing linux/grub. I defragmented before attempting this, and I took every precaution. In the end, I'm never able to boot my Windows OS. I can boot Linux from the Grub menu, and I can still access my Windows files.
As of now I've reformatted back to Windows. I would just like to know what went wrong because I want to attempt another install later on.

Ward,
windows is weird in that it notes somewhere the block numbers where the system is installed, and when that moves
it does not boot anymore.
Now you are making life more complicated then necessary: if you still have windows resized and installed (and not booting),
you can use the windows install cd and go into repair mode. It will fix the resized windows.
If you are starting from scratch, before installing windows, start a Linux live CD, do not install it, start the program
"gparted" and partition your disk as you want it. Then install windows in one of the partitions.
Instead of the Linux live CD you can also use a Gparted stand alone CD:

Hope it helps.

HT3964 programs hanging; long wait time

programs hanging; long wait time for 'pie' to clear; reset the smc and still not functioning. pls. help.

Hello, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-18666790-125104/AM Pageouts.jpg
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on,IPmyriadLogin Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Z77A-GD65 no longer boots with 4 RAM modules

I had 4 x 8GB Cosair Vengeance LP that used to work fine, but no longer boots into Windows with 4 but only with 2 RAM modules. Any help in solving the issue would be appreciated. ( I need 32 GB as I run many virtual machines )
The 4 modules worked fine for few months until couple weeks ago, when I saw issues with booting into Windows 7. The workaround was to "warm up" by leaving the PC in BIOS for about 5 minutes and it would boot fine. Since couple days ago, it would POST but not boot into Windows or into live Linux on USB, so I started troubleshooting with bare bones first ( MB, CPU, 1 RAM, PS ) and then starting adding more and more components until I found that 1 and 2 RAM modules worked in either black or blue rail but with 4 RAM modules, it will POST, but not boot at all into either USB based live system or into Windows 7.
Memtest with 2 separate sets of modules pass with flying colors. Mixing the sets work fine too, but add 2nd set (i.e. 4 modules) and it fails to boot. I am leaning more toward believing the issue is with the MB than with the RAM since mixing them doesn't throw any memory error.
Any suggestion on how to check if it's the RAM or MB ?

What voltage is the RAM running? A slight bump up in voltage might help.
As to voltage, I started with standard 1.5 and then incrementally upped it to 1.65v. At 1.6v and above, it does boot into Windows, but intermittently goes into BSOD... Works perfect with 1.5v with 2 RAM modules.
I'll save the money for next build instead of going for 32GB kit. ... guess I'll live with 16GB for now.
Thank you all for the advice.

You need to use the computer's install disks to repair the hard drive or install a new OS.

How do I transfer an Itunes library from my Ipod to a library on a new computer? The original library was built on a laptop that no longer boots.

I built an Itunes library for my Shuffle on an old laptop which no longer boots. I have since built a new library on my main computer and want to transfer the library that is still on the Ipod to the new library so I can add some new tunes. How do I do that? Thanks!

You can't transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases on the iTunes Store Purchased page). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer, drag the files (or the folder containing the files) to the iTunes window to add them to the iTunes library.

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.) Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
(Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
Details:
G4 Gigabit Ethernet
Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
1.5 Gig Ram
I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
I zapped the pram.
In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,

Can no longer boot into Mavericks 10.9.5

My problem is that I can no longer boot into Mavericks 10.9.5 on my mid-2012 Macbook Pro. The problem arose suddenly without any known major changes to my software or hardware. The booting process freezes with the apple visible and the circle below it spinning endlessly. Every several seconds, the display very briefly gets brighter, then the circle starts spinning again and the process repeats itself. It never gets to the user login screen.
Other than keeping various apps up to date, I don't recall any recent major operating system or other major software updates, nor have I made any recent hardware changes. I've searched a multitude of threads and and tried any number of fixes without success. Here's what I've tried so far (and probably a few more that I can't remember): (1) Repaired the startup disk with both Recovery HD -> Disk Utility and single-user mode -> /sbin/fsck -fy; (2) Repaired the startup disk permissions with Recovery HD -> Disk Utility; (3) Reloaded the Mavericks 10.9.5 operating system twice; (4) deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist; (5) reset PRAM and NVRAM; (6) booted with "D" pressed and ran the Apple hardware test, which ran for about 40 minutes and reported no problems; (7) tried booting from a bootable clone of Mavericks 10.9.5 on an external hard drive, which also failed at the same place with the apple showing and the circle below it spinning endlessly. ***Oddly, I am able to boot from a bootable clone of Mountain Lion on an external hard drive. It's Mavericks that won't boot.***
Here is the part of the system log the repeats itself over and over and seems to correlate with the repeated failed attempts to complete the booting process. Any help would be appreciated beyond words:

Hi
You got a prob I think, if you can boot a windows, MSconfig, startup options might restore the boot files.Only other thing is to try and either load a new windows and let it setup a boot file, or perhaps a win98 startup disk, and fdisk, then set active partiton, which will set an MBR. But that would leave a load of work to do, I think I'd opt for an install of XP, and let it repair existing installation, and make a new boot file.
Hope you don't need the info on disks. If you do, I would install another HDD, load XP, then copy original Disk to save place.
Good luck

My Mac Mail program no longer stores any files in my Sent folder. When I try to send an e-mail it just spins. What's up?

My Mac Mail program no longer stores any files in my Sent folder. Moreover, the sent folder (off to the left) contains a highlighted "1" as if something is in there.
When I try to send an e-mail message, it simply spins.
This is new behavior for my Laptop of three years. Usually, I have lots of messages in my Sent folder and can easily send e-mail.
I see no discussion forum for "Mail" or for "e-mail" so I raise this question here.
I would appreciate any help anyone might offer.
Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. Turns out, re-started my Macbook later and the problem disappeared. Could this have helped?

Can no longer boot to MacOSX after bootcamp install

Hello all, I have an issue to where I can no longer boot into the Mac OSX partition after what appears to be a failed Windows bootcamp install. As I was running the bootcamp assistant process, a reboot occurred and I was greeted with the "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I have no idea how to get past this and boot back to OSX.
Things I have tried:
Holding down the "option" key does nothing, even using a USB keyboard
Resetting PRAM (CMD + OPT + P + R) does nothing, even with USB keyboard
I have put in a MAC OSX 10.7 Disk and cannot boot to disk using CMD + C on startup
I also pulled the hard drive out and connected it to another PC and wiped the drive completely. I put it back in the macbook and I am still presented with this error. It seems, even though I get the Mac startup tone, that it is stuck in which ever OS it tried to run previously, that being Windows. Not sure why I am still receiving this error even after wiping the drive completely clean.
As far as hardware goes, I am pretty sure its a late 2010 Alumn. Macbook Pro. I cant get the current model number since I cant boot the OS. Any help is appreciated.

Please reset SMC as well.
You can get the serial number from the back cover and use https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do to find the model.

My internal hard drive no longer boots. Boots just fine in external usb enclosure.

My internal hard drive no longer boots when inside my laptop. The drive boots just fine in external usb enclosure. It is also fully recognized when internal (as seen in single user mode, recovery mode or while booting from another drive).
I have tried:
with disk utilities
•fixing permissions
•repairing disk
in single user mode
•fsck -fy
zapping the pram
removing ram and zapping the pram
Any suggestions or diagnostics would be appreciated.

Can't believe I spent days reformating my hard drive, restoring it, getting another hard drive... and it was all a cable that failed. I wonder what can make an internal cable like that fail (seems like the least likely part of all to fail).
Thanks PlotinusVeritas

If you can't fix it, you don't own it!
