Re: Pre Binding and cannot boot to cdrom

Greetings, I have a working Lombard that has the following symptoms:
1. long boot up time to load os x 10.3 (15 to 20 min)
2. Cannot boot to cdrom to access "proper running of disc utils"
I am attaching link from the os x forum just as background and what has been done so far. ran permissions from HDD and utils indicate that smart status is verified. Other than than two issues everything seems to be working well.

Hi JPL, thanks for your tenacity in wanting to find out what is wrong with this machine. Have no peripherals attached to laptop just the broadband connection is the only input to machine.
want to verify that the command key is indeed the apple key to the left of option key?
I think I hear the drive spinning on initial bootup, seems to me that the cd also starts spinning but I don't get the "scanner type sound" that tells me that the cd rom is actually reading the disc. Sometimes I hear a sound like fan or turbo mode kicking in...sometimes it just spins up and eventually go to they grey screen and then loading wheel kicks in. I perceive the slow boot is due to computer attempting to read hd sectors and the click click click sounds faintly come from hd. Like I have bad sectors and the puter tries to read and eventually finds it's way to front door of readable area in order to load os? Just conjecture on my part.
The optical drive can mount cd once system comes up. The optical drive worked on bootup before, used it many times. Don't normally go to cd so don't know when this new problem really manifested itself.
The cd is titled mac os x disc 2 (the install disc) disc one is for the upgrade to 10.3.9 they are the only two mac discs I have. The cd appears to be clean, wiped it down with t shirt again. No access to another Lombard/Pismo.
Tried the reboot using the del opt cmd shift combo (proving apple key is indeed the cmd key?) It was different than c attempt startup, seems like it hesitated and was probably looking for something, and eventually brought up the loading wheel with apple preload screen.
I think I answered all of ur questions?...Please confirm that apple key is command key?

The file '/foo.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested

Hi All
I am using odp .net to access oracle data. I have also added oracle.dataaccess in my asp .net references. Everything works fine in my development and when I run the code through debugger. However, when I deploy the project in IIS, it gave me following error...
"The file '/foo.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested
This is pretty generic error and I found out this is related to .Net assemblies.
By further investigation, I found that oracle.dataacess.dll is not present in the bin directory of a deployed web site. I am not sure why .net is dropping that dll in the deployment wizard.
Did anyone encounter this problem before?
I got a workaround for now that manually copting dll into the bin directory of deplyed web site. However, I am looking for more robust and technical answer..
The strange thing is I have been deploying the web site the same way for last 8 months and never encountered this problem.
thanks a lot..

If you add a reference to Oracle.DataAccess at design time it will be added as an assembly definition to web.config. Then you don't need a copy in your bin dir and it will be found in the GAC.

Help - tried to install leopard over tiger on iBook G4 and cannot boot up

My ibook G4 apparently does not have enough disk space to enable me to install leopard; shame, BUT in process of finding this out I cannot restart in Tiger - machine spends 3-4 mins trying then powers down to black screen.
Any help/advice gratefully received...
Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Do you have a Backup?
Do you have a bootable external drive?
Do you have another Mac around so you could use FW Target Mode to clear some space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
If none of the above, then using your Install Disk to Erase everything and start over completely is about the only ting left.
Due to temporary files, RAM Discs, VM, you need twice what they say minimum to install... 20 GB free.

Yosemite upgrade issue - iMac freeze and cannot boot again

Dear all,
Two days ago I updated my iMac 27" (mid 2011) from OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion to 10.10 Yosemite.
Clean installation was done via USB, 3 user created one admin and 2 standard users (all with the option increase contrast option on). The following software installed:
Adobe Lightroom 5.7
Datacolor Spyder4Elite 4.5.8 (monitor calibration)
Microsoft Office 2011
PlayOnMac 4.2.5
iMovie 2.1.1
VLC 2.1.5
Google Chrome
After one day I had the first strange reboot, but than it seemed working fine.
Today while using it, something strange happened: the image on the screen "shifted" 5cm to the left, meaning that the 5cm on the left of the screen were moved to the right and than everything freezed. With a power off I rebooted.
Thinking the issue was related to the screen I uninstalled and removed Spyder4Elite.
I rebooted and it was working fine.
After a while, the screen went almost completely blank, I could see the very top first 3/4 pixels and recognize the top bar. Nothing. After a while I forced a reboot.
I tried to reboot, but the same appears. I turned it off for a bit.
Turinig it on again the following happened:
Boot screen
White screen flickering black
Black screen
White screen
Reboot
White screen stating the the computer restarted after an error
Boot screen with pink vertical lines (see image below)
White screen
Black screen
Reboot
Start again at #7
Image for #7:
Image for #8:
I then turned everything off and disconnected the plug as well. After turning on again now everything starts directly at point #7 into an infinite loop.
I tried to start and hold "D" key for the diagnostic tools. Nothing happens boot and whitescreen.
If I hold the option key I can select the boot options, choosing Recovery 10.10.1, white screen appears and than reboot again.
Does anyone know what happened?
Does anyone else had a similar issue?
Is there a way to run diagnostic tool to check hardware failures?
Is there a way to browse the HD content to save a file?
Any other suggestions or ideas?
The only thing I have, is the USB key with Yosemite on it.
Fortunately on the external HD I still have the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app": is there a way to create a bootable USB key of Mountain Lion using windows?
Thank you for your kind support,
blp
ps: ah.. Apple care obviously expired in August...

Before deciding that you can't replace the drive yourself, visit the following site and find the step by step instructions for replacing the drive yourself:
http://www.ifixit.com/
If you see the instructions and feel that you can replace the drive yourself, you will save money that way. I'm not that familiar with modern iMacs, but I know it was very easy to replace the drive in my old iMac. It may not be as hard to do as you think. If you want extra help, you can post questions on the iMac forum.
If you still don't feel like it is something you can do yourself, try looking for an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your area and see what it might cost to have the AASP do the replacement. Often an AASP can do a repair for less money than Apple, and they will usually be willing to install a drive that you have obtained elsewhere for a reasonable price. From what I have read on these forums, many people have used AASP's to install bigger and faster drives on their machines.
Definitely contact Western Digital about your drive. Usually WD drives come with a 3 year warranty, and if the drive fails before then, WD will replace the drive. KT has mentioned that the drive apparently is not under warranty, but might qualify for some sort of an upgrade. Before shopping elsewhere, check to see if this upgrade might entitle you to a very good deal on a replacement drive or something of that nature.
Good luck!

All users GONE except for "Other"...and CANNOT boot from External DVD drive

I booted the iMac (Intel...the last one with the White Bezel) tonight, and all of my users were GONE except for "Other." The internal Superdrive has had a disc jammed in it for months, so instead I have an OWC external USB/FW400/FW800 DVD drive. Snow Leaopard.
I need to boot from the SL install disc, but that must go into the external drive...which, as it's been since I upgraded to SL, the Mac sometimes sees and sometimes doesn't. Right now it can't see it. Which leaves me a big pile of crap, doesn't it?
So, what to do? I can't boot the internal drive because it's jammed with a DVD (or I spend $300 to replace what should be a $20 optical drive in it), I can't boot the external DVD drive because the iMac w/Snow Lepeord can't see it, and, meanwhile, all of my photos, etc., are on my Time Machine backup drive...which, as long as I can't do any of the above, just sits there...useless.
Can you tell I'm a bit frustrated with this?
I've reset the PRAM. I've rebooted. I've held down all sorts of combinations of keys. I've tried every single interface type on the external drive and the same thing - the drive can't be seen by the computer.
Has the internal hard drive failed? Nope. I'm tying this using the Firefox browser that's running on my Windows XP installation via Boot Camp on the internal hard drive.

Thanks, but no luck so far.
I have an old iMac G3 downstairs, and I connected it to the machine via Firewire. I could see the disk on the 24" iMac, its folders, etc. I wanted to see if I could install OS X via Target Disk Mode from the old machine to the new one, but it's a PowerPC machine and you can't do that. Maybe you can't do that from ANY iMac...I'm not that experienced.
Now the iMac isn't booting at all to Windows via Boot Camp - it's been booting for 45 minutes now with the "WinXP" logo, but nothing. I'm about to throw it in the car and haul it over to my parents, who have both a Powerbook and a 27" iMac. Maybe it'll work there. Who knows.
Other ideas...replace the internal hard drive (cheap)...if that doesn't work, I'll just sell the thing. I'm not going to sink $300 into the thing when I can get a new machine for around $600-$700. I may go to a Windows7 machine on the desktop and a Powerbook...maybe even an iPad.
I really want to love this iMac. It's my first (well, I did have the G3, but that was just to play with) Mac. It's given me a ton of problems since I bought it new. It's always been a "stock" machine - nothing weird done to it. I was hit with an iMovie update once, and that broke iMovie. Even the new iLife 2009 didn't fix it. Then, the internal optical disk drive failed. I couldn't believe that Apple used a proprietary optical drive rather than a stock Pioneer model. Price for the drive alone? $200.
I installed Snow Leopard 2 months ago, and that completely broke my ability to use external optical drives. Sometimes they work...most times they don't. This is an ongoing problem that many people are having (check the forums)...but no fix. Where does that leave me? With a useless computer.
So, I've boiled it down to this: I love the Mac software. I hate the hardware. Sure, it's pretty, but if something goes wrong, get ready to pay. I hate that Apple knows about problems, yet does nothing to address them, like the problem with external optical drives and Snow Leopard.
I bought the Mac because I was sick of Microsoft not being able to simply produce an OS full of security holes. Often times I read people bashing supposed "driver ****" with Windows, but look at what users of Windows machine are demanding of Microsoft - "please make my software compatible with the trillions of combinations of hardware that can run the os...all the way back to stuff that was created in the mid 1990s." Meanwhile, from my experience, Apple can't get their software to work with their own proprietary, supposedly vertically-controlled hardware.
Windows7 is a not bad OS. It's got it's faults, of course. But, if my optical drive failed in a Windows box, I'd have it replaced in 10 minutes...with a bluray drive...that can write...for under $100.
I use my computer for pictures, etc. In fact, we were ready to send off to iPhoto for our yearly photo books. That's not going to happen, as the photos are forever trapped on my Time Machine backup drive (lesson learned: dump photos to a generic format...fat32 works...just in case you decide to switch from Mac to Win7). iLife is great. MS Office is great, too, on the Mac. I love the little things the Mac does right.
After years of screwing around with my Windows box, I wanted a computer that acted like a consumer electronic device. That's not what I've gotten.
Ugh, so now do I buy a Mac Mini for $700, a new iMac for $1,400, or a Macbook Pro and a mac mini?
...or...do I continue to work within this silly Ubuntu Linux world?
Whatever the answer, I wish I didn't have to ask the question now.

Tecra 9000 - LED flashes and cannot boot

I was recently given an old Tecra 9000 laptop. Unfortunately, it did not have a HDD (it was removed and trashed by the previous owner).
I have bought a couple of HDDs that I thought should work in this machine, but all that seems to happen is the power light flashes seven times, pauses, then flashes once (and then repeats this.
I assume this is an error code of some kind.
The drives I have tried are a MK4025GAS and a MK4026GAX. The result is the same on both.
Can someone advise as to what this error means, or even tell me the part number of a drive that will work with this machine?
Many thanks.

Hi Guy
One question; did you try to power up the notebook without inserting the HDD?
Usually if the notebook is ok it should be possible to start the notebook. Of course the notebook will not load the Windows OS because the HDD is missing but it should be able to start and the LED should not flash!!!
But if the LED flashes this means that the fault was detected on the motherboard and the LED lamp sends a blinking code.
The short blinking means 0 and the long blinking means 1
Error code starts with LSB (least significant bit)
for example:
0000 0001 -> 1000 0000
This code you have to transform in hex and you will get the error code.
But in my opinion nobody will give you an answer what it means.
Every notebook series porvides own error code...

Satellite A100-906 cannot boot from CD

plzz gef me answer
thanx

Hi
You said you are using an USB DVD Super Multi drive??
Sorry buddy but I think you will be not able to boot from external USB CD/DVD drive
As far as I know BIOS doesnt support this!
You have to use the use the internal CD/DVD drive if you want to boot from the disk!

Boot image does not exist and cannot read disk label errors.

Hi - I'm having a problem with installing Solaris 9 4/04 on a Netra T1. The Netra already has Solaris 7. I need to get this set up as a jumpstart server but it can't find the boot image. I'm using a brand new bonafide installation disk - not a copy. The system won't let me install/upgrade to Solaris 9 either. I get an error stating that disk label can't be read. I've tried swapping out the CDROM but I still get the same errors. Does anyone know what or why this may be happening? (Oh - and another strange thing - like I said the CDs are the original but there doesn't appear to be a cdrom/cdrom0/s0 directory. The directory I see is cdrom/cdrom0/sol_9_404_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools)
ERROR: Install boot image /cdrom/sol_9_404_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot does not exist

Hi check that you are booting of the right cd. Make sure it is soalris 9 software 1/2 if that fails then it may well be that your cd is buggered. most likely it is buggered it it cant find the boot image.

Curve 8320 corrupts OS periodically and then cannot boot (blinking LED only)

I have a T-Mobile BB Curve 8320 that I've had for about 9 months, and I have what appears to be a recurring problem.
Three times now, the phone has corrupted its OS, and it will not boot. Each time it does it, the symptoms are first the phone is non responsive, and just shows the spinning hourglass cursor. The last time it did it while in the Mail app, which is the one I use almost exclusively. The phone appears to lock up, showing the wait cursor indefinitely. This time I waited a half hour, and it was clear that it wasn't coming back. So I pushed the power button, and it shut down the phone. But then when I tried to turn it back on, the screen never came up, and it just blinked the red LED "forever." (It was about 18-20 hours before I got around to trying to reload it.) The first time this happened was when the phone was running the OS version it shipped with, which I think was 4.3, but I don't recall. But now it has done it twice while running 4.5.0.81, which is the OS distribution T-Mobile makes available for the Curve.
The first two times it did it, I used the application loader to wipe the device and reload the OS. When in this state, BB desktop manager doesn't see the device since it can't boot. But if you click through to the application loader, you can get it to load. (Or you can run the application loader outside of BB desktop manager)
This time, the application loader started up, offered the choice of what to load, and then proceeded into the next phases. Erasing the device succeeds, as does the next phase where it loads the OS. But then it gets to where it is loading application modules, with a progress bar for each module and one for the overall progress. It got halfway through the overall progress, and failed with an "unspecified error", suggesting to try again. I tried it three times, and it failed the same way each time.
After calling T-Mobile, they bounced me over to RIM, and the first guy had me go through the app loader again with the same result. When he started pursuing USB connectivity issues, I asked to speak to someone else. (There are other devices on this system, both mass storage and input, and none of them ever show connectivity issues. )
The second tech had me rerun the application loader, but this time only select the core OS, leaving out all the apps. This succeeded, and then he had me rerun it, loading the rest of the applications. This also succeeded.
But the problem I still have is this. There is no explanation why the phone corrupts itself every couple of months, or why loading the OS and the applications in one step failed to work _repeatedly_. I believe the device has a bad memory address, and the two step OS load simply danced around it. And it is that which is causing the phone to corrupt its own OS to the point that it cannot boot.
The tech tried to pass of the corruption due to loading third party applications, and while I can accept that a rogue application can corrupt memory locations that it has the ability to write to, I don't know if the BB OS/device uses any form of protected memory, or if apps are essentially unrestrained. The only third party applications I load on this are the Google app, with Gmail, and Opera Mini.
To be honest, if the BB OS is that fragile that I can't even load these two applications on it, I'll be trading it for a different email capable phone.
Anyway, I'm looking to find if anyone else has a phone that repeatedly gets corrupted so it can't boot, and requires a complete reload. Also, is there anyway to test the memory on the phone? I'm going to call T-Mobile back and try to get them to swap my phone, because I can't afford to spend three hours on the phone with tech support every couple of months when my phone dies.
thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Our cases sound a bit different. I seldom use Desktop Manager, as I sync through BES. I do use it for backup though.
But over the time my phone corrupting itself has happened, I've upgraded from BB OS 4.3 to 4.5, which required an update to Desktop Manager, and following that I upgraded to a new computer. So I've changed computers, BB Desktop software, and BB OS software, and the problem has happened across all of those changes.
You should have been able to restore the OS even if it was corrupt. Desktop Manager won't recognize the device if it won't boot, but application loader will still find it. The first two times I did it, I used instructions basically like this: http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry?page=4
But since then I've found I can just access application loader via BB Desktop Manager and do the same thing. I did notice when my OS reload kept failing this last time, that using application loader directly showed more of the failure message. It still wasn't anything useful, but when I reran the reload via Desktop Manager, I recognized the error was the same, but noted that I didn't see all of the output of the standalone application loader.

Blue and White G3 won't boot from CDrom

I am trying to boot the G3 from the CDrom, but it won't seem to work. I have tried different bootable CDs, but it won't boot from any of them.
I have tried a few different things including holding C down and going into openfirmware and trying boot cd @ 0:2,\\:tbxi, and the CDrom does get access, but after about 45 seconds or so, it just boots into OSX. I have also reset the PRAM too.
Now I have added an extra IDE drive to the machine, so does that change the syntax of boot cd command in openfirmware? If so what does it change it too?
This machine has been upgraded to 10.4.6 if that matters.
Also I can access all of the drives and manipulate files with no problems at all, so all of the drives are working correctly.
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

On my B&W I have to boot into OS9.2.2 first, then boot from the CD from there. Fortunately I have the old 6 gig hard-drive set up as all OS9.2.2.

HI daddio,

I hate Norton and anyone who reads my posts will know that. I have seen way too many infected PC's by Norton users. Did you try the EWIDO and AdAware scan? I see you said you read lots of posts. That is helping folks remove the malware in order to get iTunes and quicktime back to health.

Getting "Ordinal binding and Named binding cannot be combined" error

Hello,
I am getting following exception while calling stored produre:
*"Ordinal binding and Named binding cannot be combined"*
I am calling stored procedure with JDBC with 1 input parameter and 1 output parameters as mentioned below:
CallableStatement collableStat = connection.prepareCall("{ call sp_clnt_intermed_validation(?,?) };

collableStat.setString("p_user_name", "SampleUser");
// Registering Out parameters

// execute stored procedure
collableStat.execute();
Please guide.
Regards,
Akshay.
Edited by: 914678 on Feb 15, 2012 5:48 AM

Why is the registerOutParameter in a loop?
You don't state your DB version but as of 10g there is no support for named parameters for a PL/SQL function because there is no 'name' of the returned parameter. So use ordinal indexes for both parameters.
Instead of
collableStat.setString("p_user_name", "SampleUser");
collableStat.registerOutParameter("p_success_flag", Types.VARCHAR);use
collableStat.setString(1, "SampleUser");
collableStat.registerOutParameter(2, Types.VARCHAR);Next time post this in the JDBC forum.
