Restart/ "mac-boot" error message

HI!
I was working in photoshop and my screen grayed out. An error message came up saying to retart computer. I restarted and a coded screen came up saying to type in "mac-boot" or "shutdown" so I typed mac-boot. Then the apple screen came up with the timer/clock. The fan started up very loudly and the apple screen continues without a bootup. Please help. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks!

You also want to look at WHY you got to a kernel panic. There are some FAQs on the subject.
Make sure you have a UPS.
Run Apple Hardware Test.
Along with SMU/PMU reset, you might want to just try resetting nvram.
Test your memory. It may be developing errors. You were using your system heavily.
Somehow, the system went into Open Firmware screen, which would suggest a corrupt nvram, and I would be careful that the directory was not updated due to a freeze, and you need to seriously do some repairs and maintenance, and see if any files are corrupt - whatever you were working with definitely.

  • Can't access youtube on Mac, no error message - just blank page

    I can't access youtube in firefox. There is no error message. I'm using leaopard on a mac.When I type in youtube.com, nothing happens, the page is completely blank. youtube works in safari. other websites work fine. Works in safari, just not firefox.
    I tried many of the solutions offered for not being able to access youtube but no solution so far. I have uninstalled flash and realplayer and disabled noscript and some plug-ins and still nothing. If I try to access youtube without these items, I don't even get a page saying that I need the flash plug-in, it's just blank. I have re-installed an older version of flash, 11.2. flash was an still is working fine on other sites, I have re-installed firefox. I have tried things like using html5, nothing works. I have read through these help pages and found nothing that helps so far.
    Please help, I have been trying to figure this out for a week and am at my wits end. I need to be able to access youtube in firefox.

  • Can't Open Fireworks CS4 in Mac. Error Message

    Hello,
    I have had CS4 for 2 years almost and recently Fireworks won't open. When I click on the icon, I get this error message (below). I have updated by my Mac OS and Adobe updates with no success. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling Fireworks, but it says I would need to deactivate my serial number from within Fireworks. Since I can't open Fireworks, I can't deactivate it - so presumably I wouldn't be able to reinstall it.
    All my other Adobe products are working fine - it's just this one.
    I operate Mac 10.6.7
    Any suggestions? I'm not a graphic designer, so if you're able to assist, pretend you're explaining to an 8 year-old! :-)
    Thank you kindly.

    Thank you Linda, I thought I would post here since other users may have had a similar experience. My next step will be to reinstall the software since I'd rather not pay for their technical support if it's a simple fix - thus the posting here.

  • PSE 6 Mac photomerge error message?

    I am using Photoshop Elements 6 on a Mac. I am trying to use the photomerge group shot feature, following the tutorial video step-by-step. I open my pictures, select New >> Photomerge Group Shot and click "Open All" on the "please select 2-10 photos..." pop-up box. The little clock appears for a bit and then I get the error message "Could not complete the command because the source rectangle is empty."
    Adobe support is useless. I think they said it's because my photos are incompatible and I should download them again. (But their English is so poor and there's so many typos in there, I can't be sure that's really what they meant.) I'm using .jpgs. How can jpgs be incompatible?!? Good thing they're copies. Deleted the ones I was working with and got new copies of the originals. Still get the error message.
    Tried re-installing PSE, that didn't fix it either.
    Dragging the photos to the source and final rectangles doesn't work either.
    I think I may have successfully used the photomerge in the past but I can't remember for sure.
    Anyone else encounter this problem? Any suggestions of other things to try to solve it? I'm just about ready to throw PSE in the garbage. I pretty much can't ever get it to work right.

    I am listing down the precise steps I followed for Photomerge groupshot on my system-
    Open images.
    Holding the Command key click on all the image that are to be used in Photomerge (select them from Project Bin)
    File>New>Photomerge Groupshot.
    I am taken to the Photomerge UI with my first image already present in the source rectangle.
    Please follow these steps and let me know that at which step are you getting stuck.

  • Office for mac - Word error message "insufficient memory"??

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right help section, so apologies of not and point me in the right direction?
    My problem: I copied about 2 pages of text in a Microsoft Word (for mac) document, opened a blank document, and attempted to paste the text there. The text transferred, but when I attempted to save the document Microsoft closed, without saving, and offered to send an error report.
    Alternately, I copied the text, closed Word, re-opened it to a blank document, and again attempted pasting the text. This time, an error message pops up that says "Insufficient memory. Save document now." after which it will let me save the document, but won't let me paste anything. So confused.
    Thanks for any help!
    (I also emptied my trash, just to free up some space and see if that helped, but even though its been ages since I've done it it didn't seem to make a difference.)

    How exactly do you specifically update Office? I ran software update, but nothing for Office came up.
    Choose "Check for updates" in the an Office program's Help menu.
    Just to check if it worked, I opened the original document and selected Save As, and it allowed me to save it under a different name and re-open the doc, and then edit and save it - so I can go ahead with my work, but it would still be good to resolve the issue.
    Hopefully just updating will take care of it. Just remember than an "insufficient memory" error never means insufficient memory. It means the program is buggy. While very powerful, Office is somewhat on the buggy side. It is updated pretty frequently however.
    If you continue to have problems, there may be some specific issue that is causing your problem and can be fixed. The best place to investigate that would probably be Microsoft's own support forums.

  • Envy 5534 on MAC- print error message unable to convert post scrip file

    print error message unable to convert post scrip file
    Can any one help please

    View Solution.

    Hi @itsalex,
    What type of bar code are you printing, and from what program? Just a thought, what if you print the barcode as an image, if you are not already? Try File>Print> Advanced> Print as Image> print.
    If the issue persists, let's reset the printing system and repair the disk permissions; doing so may resolve the issue.
    Reset Printing System
    Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
    In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Repair Disk Permissions
    On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
    When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
    Select Add other Printer or Scanner 
    Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer drive. In the screenshot below, you will see Airprint is auto selected, you can change it to the HP driver though.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
      Talk to you later alligator 
    Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

  • Elements 8 (MAC) sends error message when I quit

    Every time I purposely quit the Elements 8 application, I get an error message that it has "unexpectedly quit." It does not affect the performance of Elements 8. But it is a nuisance. Suggestions? I am running MAC 10.6.4
    Thanks

    Howard:
    I looked up your case, and it appears that you repaired disk permissions to resolve the issue. You would do this using the Disk Utility in /Applications/Utilities.
    The notes in the case were unclear, but you may have moved to a new Mac OS user account prior to repairing permissions. That is, you created and logged into a new user account, and Elements still gave unexpected quit error on quit, but then after repairing disk permissions, Elements closed without issue in the new account.
    So, for any others that may be facing this issue, first try repairing disk permissions (as Barbara mentioned above).
    If that fails to resolve the issue, clear the preferences (also as Barbara mentioned).
    The next step would be to create a new Mac OS user account, log out of the current account, log into the new account, and then see if you can close Elements 8 without issue.
    If it still fails, then repair disk permissions in the new user account, and then it should be working.
    If anyone still faces the problem after doing the above, I recommend contacting Adobe Support so they can help find a resolution for you. (It would be good to have you also post in here to let us know that the above solutions didn't fix it for you.)

    The drive works correctly both under Arch and under Windows 7 in this machine's dual-boot.  Googling so far has shown that the above errors are nothing out of the ordinary.
    I would like to suppress just those error messages on boot and also do not write them to errors.log.
    I do not even have a clue for what I should be searching for to do that.  Perhaps someone can helpfully point me to the correct page in the Wiki?

  • Installed Firefox 4 on my Mac; getting error messages upon start up and when opening photos (i.e. ebay)

    I updated to Firefox 4 and now continuously receive error messages. One example is when I'm in Ebay and click on a photo to enlarge I get the following error message.
    (JavaScript Application)
    can't create mcafee plug-in object: TypeError:
    Components.classes(cid) is undefined
    Another example is upon start up of Firefox I receive an error message but I can't make it out since its half hidden on my desktop but I have to click "ok" in order to open up Firefox.
    I'm barely learning how to use this Mac (a task in its self), but now I have these error messages? Can I just go back to my older version of Firefox to make these error messages go away?
    Thanks, JR.

    Thank you very, very much. This was my very first time trying to solve a technical issue on my Mac... your advice worked great. I disabled all the add-on apps and it solved my issue. Don't know if I should have disabled all but it seemed to work... Thanks again for the advice.

  • Mac Mail Error Message: 4.0.0 You have exceeded 400 recipients

    Once in awhile, I cannot send emails. The error message I receive is the following:
    4.0.0 You have exceeded 400 recipients in the last 24 hours. Please try later. I called Verizon, my internet provider and they couldn't help me. I called Apple and they said there was nothing they could do to help me--that I needed to get help on-line.
    It appears that I am getting this because I have been marked as a spammer for some reason. I do not send emails out to more than 6-10 people at a time--and am not spamming. The results are that I cannot send emails for about a day at a time, however I still receive emails. Has anyone else had this experience?

    It appears that I am getting this because I have been marked as a spammer for some reason.
    Welcome to the discussions, cad747.
    No, it is a standard message sent to anyone that has sent over the limit, so if you genuinely haven't sent that many (which could be one message to 400 people, 400 messages each to a single person, or any combination you choose, in any 24-hour period) then you have to consider the possibility that someone else is using your .mac mail.
    I don't use .mac, so cant help specifically. Try browsing the .mac forums (Apple - Support - Discussions - .Mac) and see if it is possible to obtain a log or if anyone is posting similar problems - or post there yourself.
