PS Now game not starting up

Hi everyone,I was looking forward to trying a ps now game tonight. I chose God of War II HD. My connection speed shows it should work as I got a green smiley face. Unfortunatley when I have tried to start the game it goes through all the motions (checking download speed, authenticating etc.) but then it simply tells me that the game is unable to start and chucks me back onto the XMB. Does anyone else has this problem? Seems like I've chucked £2.99 away.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • T500 shuts down/or freezes when I plug in my AC adapter and now will not start up.

    I have had my T500 for two years and I have had endless problems with this laptop. My latest issue started with the computer waking up from sleep mode with a black screen. The computer just froze there and I had to force it to shutdown. When I finally managed to get it started again, the computer gave me an alert saying that a display driver had stopped working. The computer ran fine for a while before it would issue the blue screen of death then have the same black screen issue again and shutdown. Then it got to the point where if I have my computer plugged in it would not even get to the BIOS screen, it would simply loop-restart over and over till I unplugged it, pulled out the battery, put the battery back and turned it on again. Then it would not start at all if I had my adapter plugged in and if I plugged it in at all while the computer was running, it would freeze and after a minute would shut down and again continuously try to start up. Now, the computer will not start in any way, plugged in or no. The lights all turn on like it normally does when it starts up, but then it shuts off and repeats the same process over and over again.
    I have no idea what to do this time and unfortunately being a student I do not have enough money to buy an external harddrive to back up everything on this computer. Frankly with all the problems I have had with this thing, I am considering just throwing it out.

    Try making a bootable Ubuntu disc and running that for a while. It's possible your Windows install is hosed.

  • Tried to replace RAM but now computer not starting...PowerMac G5 dual 2.0 - are my hard drives safe? What's up?

    Hello - I tried to increase the RAM in my old and trusted Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0...2005)  tonight and now I'm in trouble. It has only 4 slots for RAM.  It came installed with 2X256 and 2X512 ram cards.  I bought 2X 1GB of Ram from Crucial.com after sending them the specs of my computer they assured me it was the right RAM.  I installed the RAM just how the youtube tutorials instructed....  I replaced the 2 256 cards with the new 1GB cards and closed up the computer......note:  I also "dusted" the inside of the mac very carefully and lightly with a barely damp rag.....
    I plugged her in and the power button light immediately went on but the computer did not.  The button wouldn't respond to being held down either.   No sign of a startup or a fan noise. Nothing on the screen, no signal.... Nothing.....  So I tried reversing the order of the RAM, I installed the 1GB along with the 512's.  Nothing again, just the light turns on when I plug her in.  Then I returned the RAM to the original configuration.....again NOTHING...just the light on.
    I reset the SMU.  (little button underneath the RAM area)  I haven't tried to reset the PRAM yet, but I'm pretty sure that will not work either as she is not starting up at all....just the light is on...  I didn't get a noticeable shock or static spark during the entire operation either. ****....whats up?
    Are my Hard Drives safe in there?
    Any ideas out there?  Thanks in advance to your advice, T

    Ouch!  That was not the way to get dust out.  Running that damp rag anywhere near an electronic component, even if you were wearing a properly grounded writs strap, was way dangerous.
    Did you lay the machine on its left side when you replaced the RAM?  That is much safer (though the recommendation only shows up in the service documentation, not the user guide, for some reason).
    What I would do at this point is to remove all RAM and try to power the machine.  If other stuff is OK, you won't start but you will see the lunar LED flashing in a repetitive pattern above the power switch.  If you don't see that happening, then things are exceptionally serious.

  • Mac mini slowed down and now will not start up

    Help!
    I couple days ago i noticed my mac was running a bit slower than usual but I just ignored it since I brought it home for the holidays and thought it might just be the internet connection. Then, yesterday, I turned it on in the morning and it was running so slow that it would take up to 10 minutes just to open any window. TODAY, i turned it on again to try to solve the problem after being unsuccessful yesterday, and now the fan starts blowing really loud as soon as i turn it on as if it were hot (i don't know, im not very smart with computers) and it will not load past the first grey screen or the second blue one.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Also, if it matters, i'm not sure what my 'OS' is and since i can't turn my mac on i can't find out what it is at the moment...
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    Thanks for the info about having wrongly applied the PMU reset to your Intel Mini. That will account for the fan running full blast. Only known (cheap) fix is to apply the correct SMC reset.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US
    (The Mini's reset procedure is at the very end of that link.)
    If that fixes the fan, then we have to consider that your original problem had something to do with the hard drive. Either the hard drive was too full, or else it was starting to fail and needed to re-read sectors -- which would account for things getting very slow.
    Do you have any recollection of how full the drive was? Any warning messages?
    To check for HardDrive failure or file system corruption, typically one would startup the Mini from the install disc that shipped with it and run DiskUtility from the Utilities menu at the top of the screen. But it seems you can't get your hands on that disc -- and you pretty much need the kind of disc that shipped with your model of Mini.

  • Finder folder with question mark, now will not start at all!!!

    Hey guys, I was working in Avid and i opened up Quicktime, all of a sudden i got a crash log. So i restarted, upon restart i got the finder folder with the blinking question mark. I tried restarting with the OS9 cd by holding down the C button, no luck there. So i moved onto the next step, resetting the PRAM, no luck there (just sat on black for numerous minutes until i let up, then the folder came back). Then I moved onto resetting th PMU, now it will not start up at all. I restart, and all i see is a black screen, nothing. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    The machine im workin on is a Powermac G4 (quicksilver), OS9, 1.5 G Ram, machine bases around Avid Editing system
    Rhyno

    Ok let me clarify this.
    1)system crashed restarted and got the folder with the ?
    2) tried to boot from the OS 9 CD no luck? it did not boot?
    3)reset pram and still the flashing ?
    4) Reset the PMU chip and the mac is dead won't start up at all?
    a couple of ideas too...
    did you press the pmu button more than once?
    Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly etc.
    Check the Pram battery to see if it might be dead it should read between 3.3v and 3.7v
    also try to restart the computer without other devices plugged into it (USB Firewire, keyboard, even monitor.
    hmm...

  • Laptop shut down during firefox update and now will not start up - did a uninstall and reinstall and still will not start up

    firefox was installing an update and i accidently hit the power button and so it shut down in the middle of the update. after i started my computer again, firefox would not start up. i tried to download it hoping the update would complete but it still would not start up when i clicked on the icon. so i tried to delete it and it would not delete said it was open, so i shut down and restarted the computer. then it deleted using the control panel remove program option. after that i logged onto IE to mozilla.org and downloaded it, afterward it still would not open up or connect to the internet.

    Hi meekprm-
    It sounds like you've tried to do the right thing- by uninstalling and then reinstalling. I'm hoping that you can look over the steps I usually suggest and see if there is anything different that may help you get a fresh version of Firefox installed.
    * Get the latest version: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • UME Service suddenly stopped and now does not start

    Hello experts, a weird problem has come up to my attention. A few days ago our Enterprise Portal suddenly went down and when we restarted all services, the UME Service did not start. We tried restarting the whole server, to no avail. This service just won't start. We are using EP 7 and our UME is configured to take ABAP as data source.
    Looking at one of the logs (security.log) I found the following interesting errors:

  • MacBook Pro slowed down and now will not start up- flashing symbols on start screen.

    I am increasingly worried about my MacBook Pro. It had been slow for a few weeks (I think it may be infected with some kind of malware), slowed down even more, and then a couple days ago when I turned it on it flashed a question mark folder, a prohibitory sign, and the apple logo on the startup screen and will not go past that. I followed the instructions on an apple help page for this issue- Nothing connected to it; I even removed the apple power cord. I tried a safe boot. I reset the NVRAM. It said to try starting up from an OS install disc, but my computer did not come with one. Here's the bit where I'm not sure if I made a stupid decision; another site said that the computer will download a recovery partition if there is no install disc, so I booted while holding down C even though I had no disc. I then read that holding option on startup will allow you to choose which disc to start from- I did that, and the only option displayed is a disc called Recovery (with a number after it that I think was 10.something, presumably referring to the OS version). Does this mean I have lost access to  my computer's Macintosh HD? Have my files been lost? Unfortunately I do not have them backed up. Bad decision on my part.

    Thanks for the quick response.
    Command-option-r does take me to a screen with a spinning globe. Below the globe is a drop-down menu from which to select a wi-fi network. My network, however, is not listed. (I am now sitting right by the router, and my iPhone is on the wifi without any problem.)  I go instead to manually type it in. I have triple checked the network name and password. I have used both the WEP key, which I have always used, and something that the sticker on the router refers to as the Mac ID, which is the WEP but with two zeros before it. Still the screen shakes as if I have entered the wrong password. I'm not sure what's going on now.

  • Powerbook froze and now will not start up

    Maybe she decided that she was retiring but this is what happened.
    I was using my Powerbook G4 800 DVI, left to get a snack, came back a few min. later, and the screen was locked up on the last page in Safari I was viewing. No track pad, no keyboard, nothing. Held the power button down till she powered off. Now it will not boot at all. Battery is nearly full, as seen on the lights on the battery.
    So I opened the keyboard, and nothing seemed out of place. I removed the 2 ram chips, as I was thinking maybe they got bumped. Replaced them, still no boot, nothing, will not even try.
    That was odd, but I let it sit for about 10 min, came back, still no boot, but when I went to get the ram chips out again, they were quite hot. Nothing spectacular, but it puzzled me as they were no that hot when I first forced power-off, but now the computer had been off for at least 15-20 min, and they seemed hotter than earlier. They cooled down quickly when I removed them, but I argued with myself that it could have been residual heat from the other components. So I let it sit for 30 more min, when all the components were cool, then I reinstalled the battery and ram, and tried to boot, noting, but the ram chips were definitely hot. Why would power be going through them when not booted? Short circuit? Failed ram? No matter the combination of chips, ( I have 2x512 MB) only one, in top, bottom, both in, put the bott. on top, nothing. They still got hot and no boot...
    I have done a PMU reset found here, with no results
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    The only other odd point is when I have it plugged into the wall charger, everything gets warm, much like it is processing data. The heat sinks for the CPU, and even the bott. of the case, away from the battery get warm, much like it is actually working. I have never noticed that before, but maybe I missed it? I do not think that the CPU should be getting hot while it is charging, powered off, as no fans will kick in.
    I know this is long, and I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
    We have a mac store that is certified in repairs, (not a true apple store) and I trust them s we do all of our business computers through them, but I cannot get it to them till Monday. Also, so I don’t have too much sticker shock, what it is the typical service rate? (Ballpark is fine, just going to do some cost comparisons)
    One more also. Lets assume my mobo/ram whatever, crapped out, and I want to get the data off the HD, what will be the best method. What if my HD crapped out, can I salvage anything?
    Again, thanks

    Hi spinner,
    Start by trying to boot from your install disc. What are the results?
    Data: if HD has died, only recourse is data recovery service, hundreds of dollars. If HD is ok, you may be able to boot into FireWire Target Disk Mode and recover your data, otherwise, you can remove the HD and install it in an external enclosure (for 2.5" HD, $50 or so; I'd recommend a FireWire or FW/USB2 model so you can boot a Mac from it in the future, and because in real world use, FW is actually faster than USB2) and connect it to any Mac to access your data.

  • Firefox crashed and now will not start. Cannot create new profile or start in safe mode because Mozilla Crash Reporter appears and will not restart.

    Browing the web, Firefox crashed. Typical "this is embarrassing" window appeared and I could choose to restore or start new session. I tried to restore, and nothing happened. Mozilla Crash Reporter appeared, the option to quit Firefox seems to work but restarting just brings back the Crash Reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but Crash Reporter persists. I tried looking through your articles on crash on startup, but I cannot open Profile Manager, nor start in safe mode, nor anything else, with that Crash Reporter popping up. I can't give you a crash ID as I can't type anything into Firefox address bar if I can't open the program. I'm running Windows 7 starter edition on a netbook. Honetly really only use Firefox on this machine, so help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.

  • Imac froze and on re load folder with question mark appeared.  Now will not start up to home screen.

    The other night my Imac froze during updates.  I found it in the morning with the screen and mouse frozen and only the loading icon spinning.  I re stared the computer from the power button.
    Upon re loading the apple logo did not appear and was replaced by a folder with a question mark in the middle.  I looked this up online and found the best option was to use disk utility to check and repair the hard drive.  This showed an error with HFS.  Used disk utility to fix the hard drive so thast no error appear.  I re stared the computer but all it loaded was the folder with the question mark again, so I decided to erase the hard drive of any information (I back up quite regulary, but left it as last resort due to inconvenience), when installing again it seems to go so far before telling me it cannot install and I need to re start.  I have erased the dsk again and completed disk clean too before trying again and getting the same results.
    I am currenlty stuck at this point and need help, which would be appreciated.
    My Imac is an early 2008 Aluminimum model and installtion disk is 10.3

    The folder with ? mark mean one of 2 things.
    1) The OS is so corrupted that the hardware can't find it as a valid way to boot the system.
    2) Your hard drive has failed.
    You can try booting from the Recovery HD partition, Commadn + r keys at startup if you are running Lion Mt Lion or Mavericks.
    Or boot the system from the original System reinstall DVD that came with your Mac or an upgrade OS X install DVd you may have purchased.
    With either use Disk Utility to see if the hard drive is seen and if it can be erased or repartitioned and then restore from a Time Macine baclup or reinstall OS X.

    Your symptoms smell like you need to update the licensing service:

  • C3-01 game not starting

    There is this game "Picture Puzzle" installed by default on the phone.
    I opened it and played it only once. i didnt change any setting as far as i remember.
    But i'm unable to play it again. When i click it, it just shows a blank screen. i have to press red button to turn off the app.

     I have the same problem with that game, everything else works fine. I don't want to have to call and go through troubleshooting over the phone. The game worked  2-3 times and now I get the same thing as you. Did you ever figure out why it stopped working?
