Qosmio g55-q804 won't restart properly after hibernation

my qosmio g55-q804 went into hibernation and now it won't restart properly....it restarts in the safe mode and when going in NORMAL mode, my original desktop appears however, it doesn't respond; my internet connectivity icon has a red X on it, and the programs don't repsond. it works ok in the safe mode with networking but i want to restore my laptop to operate in the normal mode. i've tried system restore while in the safe mode, removing the battery pack, removing the hard drive but to no avail. i'm reluctant at this point to do a full HDD recovery with my recovery CD's....please help! i'm not a computer whiz, and can't afford a new laptop right now

can i create a new account from the safe mode with networking?
I'm not sure. Try it while in Safe Mode and let us know.
--------------------8<------------------- <snip> ---------------------
Also, let us know how Windows responds when you boot clean (instead of to Safe Mode). You should be able to set this up while in Safe Mode.
   1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe).
   2. On the General tab, click Selective startup and clear the Load startup items check box.
   3. On the Services tab, click the Hide all Microsoft services check box and click Disable all.
   4. OK out and restart the computer.

MacBook Pro won't restart properly after restore

I recently needed to do a restore on my MacBook Pro 15" (2008). My computer indicated that the restore was successful and to restart. When I did, I get a screen with what looks to be some type of code in the upper left and a box in the middle that tells me that I need to restart and to hold the power button down until the computer shuts down. I've done this numerous times; removed all external drives, ejected the back-up cd, taken out the battery, did a safe boot, did a boot holding down option, command P & R but nothing. Any other solutions to get this to restart properly? Thanks!!

Those are kernel panics.
Did you do a full restore from Time Machine backups?
If so, see #E8 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting
If not, please clarify.

To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with AppleScript Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. Note: you may have to Control (right) - click on the app after uncompressing and select Open due to the Sandboxing feature of OS X. If you have problems with the app create your own with AppleScript Editor.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

The premier timeline won't redraw properly after zooming.

the premier timeline won't redraw properly after zooming.
this seems to happen suddenly to random timelines, I can have other timelines in the same project behave perfectly but suddenly a timeline becomes cursed and then I'm stuck doing a long workaround to fix it
here's my workflow to get to where I am.
I'm bringing in PluralEyes xml's of DSLR footage and field audio,
I'm working off the replaced audio sequences, and then edit the audio in Audition to do tasks like normalizing, hum removal etc.
back to premier, edit, grfx, output.
Sometimes a timeline that I've previously finished a roughcut of just gets corrupted when I go back to it. Ive got it back to behaving normally by deleting all the rendered and replaced Audition audio, and then recutting the clips back into place and effectively rebuilding my sequence. Now these are a series of 2 minute interviews. If this was a major long form edit I'd be completely fu**ed.
About my setup. Late 2013 Mac Pro (Trashcan), 12 cores, 64GB Ram, Mavericks. I use spaces and have 5 virtual desktops typically (one for each app, PS, Pr, Ae, Chrome and other bulls***, one spare for random bulls***)
This is super s*** and I'm on deadline.
Please help.

Hi Scott,
I've been seeing an issue (for quite some time now) where if I'm working a job on two different edit systems (usually with duplicate media or using a shuttle drive for mobile editing) that when I open the project on the "other" system the timeline won't redraw properly and looks like the attached image. The edit is there and the system will play the timeline but it's unusable as you can't work.
Yes, I have seen issues here in support when users transport their projects from one system to another via a portable hard drive. It's very weird behavior and I'm investigating the issue. What you might try is a different method of transporting those projects, like a different drive, etc.
I will add this issue to my report. Feel free to file a bug report here.
Thanks,
Kevin

Will XP work on a Qosmio G55-Q804

I just bought a G55-Q804 and it has Vista on it.
I haven't opened it and am waiting to find out if i can install XP on the system.
I went on Toshiba website and looked the model up and all the drivers are for Vista?
So I am concerned that I won't get the XP drivers for the system.
Looking forward to your input.
Thanks Nick

Just to knock the 4GB question on the head.
1/
As we all know, Windows(32bit) can only address 4GB RAM. So Windows recognises 4GB RAM.
2/
If you have 4GB RAM installed, Windows(32) will map into its 4GB space all Video RAM (e.g. 512MB) and any other device RAM.
3/
Such a system will thus see c. 3.25GB available RAM after mapping in the above mentioned devices.
4/
This leaves c. 0.75GB unused because it can;'t be addressed by Windows(32). I intend using SuperSpeed RAMDisk to make use of this additionakl RAM.
I hope all that's clear.

Premiere timeline won't redraw properly after opening project on different system

I've been seeing an issue (for quite some time now) where if I'm working a job on two different edit systems (usually with duplicate media or using a shuttle drive for mobile editing) that when I open the project on the "other" system the timeline won't redraw properly and looks like the attached image. The edit is there and the system will play the timeline but it's unusable as you can't work.
I've found that some combination of duplicating the sequence and/or quit and restart might fix it. Importing the sequence to another project will too. A talk about this on twitter with other editors who have seen this says a relink to the media will fix it. I used to think that was a problem of using Dropbox to store a PPro project files was the culprit but it happens when I use a shuttle drive to keep the same project on two computers in sync for editing on one or the other.
Anyone else? Any solutions?

Images won't open properly after an upgrade.

I upgraded today from cs5 to cs6 and my images won't open properly only a small portion of the image is visible. How do I fix this?

What software have you upgraded?

I've been using VMWare Fusion for my Macbookbook Pro (OS Lion) and it froze the other day. It couldn't force quit any program so I needed to do a hard reset by pressing the power button. Now VMWare won't restart properly. How do I fix this?

The Mac side works fine but now the VMWare won't even open windows. After restarting it did an automatic StartUp Repair but after another reboot, it was just a black screen.

Have you rebooted the Mac. Give that a try.
If that doesn't work you could reinstall Fusion but if Fusion opens and you can get to the Library windows of Fusion I think your VM OS is toast.
I make a habbit of copying the VM to another internal, yes I have 2 internal drives in my MBP, and to an external drive. I do this about once a week. That way if the Mac screws something up I have a backup I can use to overwrite the one that does not work correctly.
Good Luck. Hope you get it working.

USB wifi adapter sometimes won't work properly after reboot [solved]

Sometimes it (WPN111) boots and everything is working. Other times I boot and it isn't working. Reloading ndiswrapper results in this error.

If it isn't working after boot it'll work only if I remove it, reload ndiswrapper, then plug it back in. Has anyone seen something like this before? Is there any way I can mess around w/ the order the uhci_hcd and ndiswrapper modules load?
Edit- Found the problem. Whenever linux restarts the device doesn't have the power cut and it won't reinitialize. If I shutdown, and then restart, the power is cut and it's fine.

Wonder if you have a conflict between two audio cards ... for example, I have a friend with some PulseAudio problems caused by conflict between the HDMI audio from his graphics card and his onboard sound. Something would switch PulseAudio to the wrong card and it would just quit after getting itself into a twist. Unsolved, I'm afraid, but have a look at commands such as:
aplay -l
pactl list sinks
pactl stat
(Latter two will need PulseAudio coaxed into life first)
and of course, the Arch wiki.
If there is a conflict, blacklisting kernel modules might also be needed.

Mac won't boot properly after putting in Windows 7 boot disc

I wanted to get Windows 7 on my Mac, so I got the disc, ran boot camp assistant, and when it said install Windows 7, I put the disc in, and clicked continue. The Mac reset, and after it got past the white screen, it went black, and my keyboard and mouse stopped working. Now I can't take the disc out because it won't let me go to my desktop.

Keyboard/trackpad inoperative, black screen, or alert messages when installing Windows 7
Boot Camp- Windows installation boots to black screen with blinking cursor
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Can't update software because Macbook Air won't restart properly

I own a late 2010 Macbook Air and have recently bought OS X Mountain Lion.
After going through steps to update the most recent version of OS X Mountain Lion, I find that my mac fails to startup properly and beeps once
before taking several attemps to restart. When it eventually does, the software doesn't update.
Other updates install without a problem, it's just when they require restarting.
Please explain small details as I have little knowledge when it comes to this topic.
Please help and thank you in advance!!

The beep indicates a memory fault.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Iphone won't sync properly after iOS4.0.1

Hi,
I'm writing here after searching the web and Apple and finding no clue on what's going on
I recently updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS4.0.1 and as a prerequisite I had to upgrade Itunes to 9.2.1.5.
After upgrading both my iPhone OS and Itunes I can't sync anymore!
I can't sync my Contacts/Calendar/Apps/Music/Podcast etc...
I keep getting errors like:
1. Duplicate file name
2. Device timed out
3. can't write to disk
4. File can not be found
Solutions I've tried:
1. Running Diagnostics via iTunes showed everything is working fine.
2. Removed Apple USB controller and re-installed.
3. Made a complete remove of iTunes + QuickTime + Apple software + Apple Mobile and reinstalled iTunes.
4. Did over 20 Restores!!!
5. On the Iphone chose to "erase" everything.
6. on the Info tab, unchecked "Sync Notes".
7. Removing any of iTunes music folders.
Nothing worked! I have a working phone, which I should be grateful for, but I can't sync my music, podcasts or my NIKE runs. I can't even downgrade back to 3.1.3 because it says Apple won't sign the firmware!
I heard that if I "Jailbreak" my device I can downgrade, but I don't want to void my warranty or harm my device.
Can someone please help me?

Try turning your security software off - my laptop running Windows7 and Norton 360 was able to download the iTunes upgrade and work with my iPhone and iPad, whereas my Vista laptop with ZoneAlarm has never let me do an iPhone OS update with ZoneAlarm on, so I turn it off for OS updates. No need to turn it off for synchs after a successful OS update. Btw, I still have not been able to update iTunes on the Vista laptop no matter what I do (turn ZoneAlarm off, download only followed by manual installation of update, etc). Hope this helps!

Won't restart successfully after Tiger installation --- Help!

Howdy!
I'm finally updating to OS X from 9.2.2. Everything was humming along smoothly with the installation. My computer restarted after installation, but then hung for quite a while on the grey apple screen with the twirlygig at the bottom of the screen, and then, horror of all horrors, a big circle with a slash replaced the apple... and there it stays. I have to manually reboot the machine to get it to restart to either the old 9.2 partition or from the 10.4.3 installation DVD.
From the Tiger DVD, I've verified and repaired the disk and permission (if didn't come up with any errors, but I repaired it anyway).
I've re-installed the OS with all devices except the keyboard unplugged -- nothing changed.
Any ideas?
I'm trying to install it onto a 120 GB Maxtor internal drive that has not given me any problems in the past. The hd is partitioned for a 9 and X OS... I also still have the original 20 GB internal hd installed.
Should I try removing RAM that was added years ago? Or installing it onto the original 20 GB hd? Or will I have to try an Erase and Install? Will this option just erase the partition set up for OS X, or will it erase the entire hard disk?
Thanks for any assistance.

G4 AGP 450 MHz Mac OS 9.2.x 856 RAM

I'm actually unsure if the version of Disk Utility on the Tiger Install disc can do an erase and install on one partition of a partitioned hard drive or if the erase and install wipes the entire HD; I'll have to check into that when I can. There was in the past a known issue where OS X had to be installed on the first partition of a partitioned HD; I believe that's no longer true, but the default at startup for OS X is to look for the OS X System on the first partition (if you hold the 'x' key down at startup to boot into OS X, that's the expected location). If the OS 9 partition is the first partition, that may be throwing the OS X Install restart off. You might check to see if using Startup Manager to select the second partition works. I'd also rename the partition from "OS X" to somethhing else (say "OSTen"), just to be safe.

LG 22-inch monitor won't function properly after last Mac OS X Update

My new LG 22-inch monitor was working great until I received the last Mac OS X Update (10.4.9). I received this update after installing Tiger (better late than never...ha ha) and after I restarted my system, I saw multiples of the same files on my desktop, and when I would open a window, four duplicate windows would appear (this did not happen until after the update). The only thing that corrects the problem is to go into System Preferences => Displays and change the monitor resolution. But even after I Click to Lock Changes, I have to go in and do this every time I launch my system. I was so vexed that I hooked up the former monitor (Apple CRT, 17 inch) and now the same thing is happening to it! Sigh... I am no Mac Genuis, but I know someone out there can offer some advice! Thanks!

These warnings are accurate but according to Apple can safely be ignored. See Mac OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore. IOW, They are not normally problems.
I check the volume scheme but I don't have any partition
You do have partitions & a partition scheme. To check what the scheme is, click on +the drive itself+ in the list on the left in Disk Utility. It will probably be identified as "298,1 GB WDC WD3200AAJS-40VWA0 Media" or something very similar. If it contains the startup disk, it will be the first item in the list. It will have one or more named volumes indented under it, such as "Macintosh HD."
When you have clicked on the WDC drive instead of a volume name indented under it, you should see seven items of information about it at the bottom of Disk Utility's window, to the right of an icon representing the drive. The info is in two columns. The last item in the rightmost column, below the S.M.A.R.T. Status (which should say "Verified"), should be "*Partition Map Scheme :* " & be followed by the scheme type. It should be "GUID Partition Table."
If you don't see the seven info items after selecting the drive, it may indicate a problem that needs attention, but I suspect that you just haven't looked in the right place for the info....
As for the 'cannot install' message, make sure that you have downloaded the right update, that it is not the server update version for example. You may need to download it again, discarding the first download as somehow defective.

Mail.app won't work properly after installing Yosemite

My "new viewer window" in Mail.app won't work after installing Yosemite. I can not access the viewer window and thus none of my email.
How can I fix this?
Mail.app v 8.0

some updates on this issue, Mail application uses the same proxy that has been set on your system (system preferences==>Network==>Advanced==>proxies). People usually use HTTP/HTTPS proxy for surfing the web. You should make sure to set SOCKS proxy as well. Mail application works with SOCKS proxy. Note that port number for SOCKS proxy is usually different from the port number for HTTP and HTTPS but the IP address of your server (apparently) is the same.
Hope this helps
