Satelitte L870 will not start - root cause bug check

My Satelitte L870, Windows 7 O/S, has for the past week failed to start. Diagnostic tests all are ok except 1 root cause, parameters 0x0,0x2,0x0,0xfffff80003093cd4, which windows cannot fix. After I decline sytem recovery prompt, the computer restarts without problem. The computer is still under warranty. Is there a fix?

If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

When install iTunes 11.1.4 It says Apple Mobile Device Service service will not start. It was started when I began the installation. Is this an Apple software bug?

When install iTunes 11.1.4 It says Apple Mobile Device Service service will not start. It was started when I began the installation. Is this an Apple software bug?

I have this issue. It isn't the MSVCR80 issue. No matter what I do nothing will let me even INSTALL Apple Moblie Device. Further details are in my thread:

Crs will not start on 10.2.0.3

Hi All !
RHEL 4 AS U2, 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL
After installation of a patch 10.2.0.3 it has ceased to be started crs.
[root@racnode1 init.d] ./init.crs start
Startup will be queued to init within 30 seconds
Thus crs will not start
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs/install
[root@racnode1 install] ./root102.sh
All fades on string "Starting will be queued to init withhin 30 seconds"
In crsd.log:
2007-02-01 12:11:53:10.143 [ COMMCRS][2808851376]clsc_connect (0x8b5b930) no listener at (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(KEY=SYSTEM.evm.acceptor.auth))
Help me please !!!

We experienced the same failure with CRS a none start after the patch (from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3)-- running RH 4.3 with Linux 2.6.9-42.ELsmp on 32 bit HP boxen. SELINUX is very disabled! Logging is no help. Could there be a connection with the following?:
11.8 VIP May Relocate to the Last Node While Upgrading Oracle
Clusterware
Rolling upgrade or upgrade of Oracle Clusterware to 10.2.0.3 patch set
may cause VIP to move to the last node.
Workaround:
Enter the following command to relocate the VIP to the preferred node:
crs_relocate VIP Resource
Then try to restart the CRS daemons
This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5673067.
However, I cannot find a bug with that id...
Hope an answer is forthcoming, as this is holding up the proof-of-concept test for a mid-sized project...
Thanks

Please can somebody help, my imac will not start up, just chimes, apple sign then spinning cog. I have tried many key codes, no success, would really like to talk to someone.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Will not start on New Install. Opening goes straight to Crash reporter

Will not start on New Install. Clicking on icon does not open a window and goes straight to Crash reporter. I cannot access a window to try to open in safe mode (unless there is another method than outlined in the help article).
I run Windows XP and trying to install the latest 15.0.1 version. Before install, I did disable my Symantic virus protection. I have never used Firefox and would like to try it, but I'm having little success so far to even get started.
Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas or need more information from me.

hello Singyt, the bug report associated to this kind of crash indicates that it might be a malware related issue.
your crash report also shows a file named "urixalog.dll", which doesn't turn up any search hits on google, which is also slightly suspicious. could you search for that file on your pc and upload it to a site like virustotal.com in order to analyze it.
please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
edit: the bug report also suggests that a monitoring program named spector pro/360/... which essentially acts like malware, might cause the issue. in case you have that installed please remove it. otherwise [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes%20when%20you%20open%20it#w_backdoor-ulrbot-c here] would be a removal guide for urixalog.dll

Flex Builder will not start

I really need some help on this. Flex builder will not start.
When I try to run it, I get the error: An error has occured. See
the log file: <has a location to file>.
When I open the file, I get an error log. I will post it to
the end of this message.
So far, I have unisntalled/reinstalled Flex several times. I
have uninstalled Java, and reinstalled Java. I have uninstalled
Flex, removed ALL directories I could find (under /program files/
as well as /documents), run cclean to clear out registry entries,
as well as going through the entries one at a time. I then
rebooted, and reinstalled. I have also downloaded the original
install file 3 times now.
One oddity of my install, is that I am running on a
re-directed desktop, so my /documents/flex builder 3/ directory is
out on the network, but acts like it is locally mapped. I HAVE
logged on my system's local account, which doesn't have a
redirected desktop. This error occurs on both accounts.
I am the administrator of this box, and all permissinos are
run as an administrator. I am running Vista Business, and have run
this both with user access control on and off. I have also tried
running it in compatibility mode for Win XP SP2. While installing
it seems to fail on the Cold Fusion plugin, but it continues to
install, and tells me it installed fine. I am honestly at my wit's
end on this one.

Ok, this has FINALLY been fixed. There seems to be an issue
with having your documents stored remotely. My documents folder,
instead of being on my C: drive, has been redirected to the server,
so the location is: \\server\share\username\documents\etc
To fix this, I uninstalled Flex Builder 3, then deleted that
directory i makes under documents. I then logged off my account,
and logged on as the local administrator. I installed as the local
administrator which does not have a redirected desktop nor
redirected documents folder. It installed fine. I logged off the
local admin account, and logged in as my account, and was able to
fire up Flex Builder 3. Though, it STILL created it's own "copy" of
Documents on the network drive. So, the directory structure is
\\server\share\userID\Documents, the problem, is that there are TWO
"Documents" directories there. If you go to properties, windows
still recognized the old one, as "My Documents" even though it is
redirected as the file, Documents. The new folder, is also called
Documents.
Odd behavior. Just hope this helps someone else, in the
future.

Hi, Mac will not start

Hi, Last night i downloaded flip for mac & a Samsung software (propably Windows) for my mobile phone... before shutting down i was asked if i want to install & restart, i said yes, after installation, now my mac will not start.... how can i go about this problem?

Flip4Mac shouldn't have been a problem.
The Windows version of anything won't run on a Mac, the binaries are different. So no "PC Studio".
So the only thing I see is a Mac version of Kies, which allows you to manage your Samsung phone.
The spec call for a 10.5 or later, is very unlikely to work with 10.6.8 or 10.7, as there was some "changes"
Usually holding shift key while booting disables the third party kext files that cause the computer to freeze, which would allow you to remove the offending ones from your System/Library/Extensions folder.
Your remedy would be to hold c boot off the 10.6 installer disk (or hold command r boot if on 10.7) and simply overwrite OS X with a fresh copy (leaves your files and other programs alone), that will bump out the Samsung hacks in OS X itself, then immediatly software update to 10.6.8.
If you need replacement 10.6 grey disks then call Apple with a credit card and your serial number (about this mac >more info)
There is nothing you can do at this point without a fresh version of OSX 10.6, unless you know where all the Samsung hacks are and can remove them from Single User mode (aka root)

Firefox 3.5 will not start

Any time I try to start up firefox, I get this error message:
Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.0.11 and 1.9.0.11.
EDIT: Further poking has revealed that GRE refers to Gecko, which is part of xulrunner. The current version of xulrunner is 1.9.1.
EDIT 2: Tried reinstalling firefox, and discovered there were conflicts that prevented it from reinstalling, so I forced a reinstall, but now it just hangs.

As I mentioned before you need to uninstall first firefox, xulrunner and obviously whatever firefox dependencies you have installed,

if firefox crashes after loading simply move ~/.mozilla to ~/mozilla
Hi,
Same problem here firefox 3.5 will not start and no terminal output.Tried everything on this thread with no luck.
Firefox will start as root but that is it.After trying everything Seamonkey was installed and is working OK.
I am thinking of raising a bug.
Would be glad of any help thanks,Chris.
I would try to install firefox from sources ( http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html ). If this works, then evidently this is a bug in Arch packaging, otherwise your problem can be related to the firefox sources.
i hope this will help.
Arch packaging has some issues no doubt. I my case, each time when i upgrade firefox with pacman I am loosing saved passords. This is not a case when I install firefox from sources.

Ipad2 will not start ,just dead.battery is charged

Ipad2 will not start ,just dead.battery is charged

Mine had a similar thing happen after a few weeks, except that mine wouldn't even start until I'd done the reset - I havn't had a problem since. Unless you start getting regular problems I wouldn't get too concerned. And it may have been caused by apps that you've downloaded, so it may not necessarily be down to the operating system or Apple's apps - but no code is bug free.

HP TouchSmart application will not start

We purchased an HP IQ 526 TouchSmart desktop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit machine approximately two months ago. We use Clearwire to connect to the internet. About a month ago the HP TouchSmart applilcation stopped working. It will not start. Every time we try to start it we get the following error message:
HP TouchSmart Calendar has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Sometimes it says it's the HP TouchSmart Notes has stopped working or one of the other TouchSmart applications. I went to hp.com and updated all of the software for the TouchSmart application and Windows Vista. And I reguarly use Windows Update to ensure my OS is current with Microsoft security updates. I also updated the firmware. After these actions and rebooting many times the application would still not start. At this point I contacted HP customer support. We uninstalled HP TouchSmart, then reinstalled. This didn't work. I continue to see information events in the Windows Application Log almost every minute regarding HPTouchSmartCalendarNotes. They are typically the following messages over and over:
Reminder clock elapsed event is successfully fired.
CheckReminder() is executed successfully.
ShowReminder() is executed successfully.
After Fetching the XML nodes, checking for each node is done successfully in ShowReminder()
Events in Events.xml Before Showing Reminder<DataRoot></DataRoot>
I still have a case open with HP support and they said uinstalling the OS and reinstalling is likely the next step but I have to believe someone else has run into this issue or HP has a QFE for this issue. I really do not want to uninstall the OS and reinstall it. This has become very frustrating as the HP TouchSmart application is the primary reason we purchased the computer so my wife can manage our photos and music collection via the touch screen.
If anyone has seen this before or has a solution I would love to hear about it. We are considering taking the computer back if we can not resolve this issue.
On a related note and this might be a separate issue I continuously get HPTCS stopped working messages. I've searched the internet for what HPTCS.exe is and what is does but there is little to no information available.
Please let me know or if there is additional information I could provide that would be useful for troubleshooting.
Cheers,
G

Our machine was sent back to HP and they reformatted our hard drive and sent it back. Wow. Fantastic service. NOT!!!! I could have done that. Without debugging their own software to figure out why this was happening they reformatted the hard drive. I can only expect this problem will happen again since there must be a software update, etc... that is causing this behavior. I honestly do not know how to voice my disgust in their customer service. I have been a long time fan of HP and we basically only buy HP at work but this was the poorest display of customer service I have ever encountered. If your TouchSmart application stops working and the TouchSmart software updates do not resolve the problem you might as well pretend like you bought a normal computer without touch capabilities. Like buying an iPhone without it behaving like an iPhone.

Firefox will not start on limited account. Reports firefox already running but doesn't show in task manager. Adminstrator account work fine

Firefox will not start on limited accounts. It reports firefox already running. This happens even if no other users are logged on. Administrator accounts have no problems accessing firefox

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Oracle 10G Non-Network install - OEM will not start when on the LAN.

Greetings,
Got through a non-networked 10G Enterprise installation OK; I chose to create the orcl schema, connected to it through various utilities, added new tablespace, and all was well. I also checked my Host Name by pinging it in DOS, it showed me the IP address of the MS loopback adapter which is what I was expecting.
Once I connected the same machine to the LAN (and internet) and re-booted, for some reason the Host Name was now assigned the dynamic IP address of the LAN and not LAN2 (which is the loopback adapter that is assigned a static local IP address). It did this even though I had already added an entry in the /etc/hosts file that explicitly assigns a static IP address to the Host Name (as recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions). I also could not get the OEM to launch a webpage, run and connect to the orcl database after the re-boot; I am wondering if this is related to the IP address assigned to Host Name changing; maybe the Oracle agent can no longer resolve the URL for some reason?
In the end I find that the only way to insure I can have a working Oracle environment and be on an active network at the same time, is to bring up the Oracle environment on a standalone system first, and once Oracle is running connect the system to the network. Is there no way to automate this process?
The format of the hosts file entry recommended by the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions is as follows:
===========================================================
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
where:
IP_address is the non-routable IP address you entered for the loopback adapter.
hostname is the name of the computer.
domainname is the name of the domain.
For example:
10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer
==========================================================
In my case since I am not part of a Windows domain (but am part of a Windows Workgroup), I added an entry in the /etc/host file that looks like the following:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.110.250 IBM-6AB1330E158
==> Note that I did not add the domain name to the entry I created since I am not part of a domain, I also used the format I found in the etc/hosts file which is:
IP_address hostname.domainname
- not -
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
Which is the format recommended in the Oracle 10G pre-installation instructions; this does leave me wondering which format is correct...
Thanks in Advance for any help,
ADG13

I have not. I am hoping someone (maybe even from Oracle support) will step up and officially tell us we are either right or wrong in the way we are approaching this. From the research I have done on the internet it sounds like this should work, you should be able to have Oracle starting and running fine whether you boot connected to the LAN or not, assuming you have created the MS loopback adapter, assigned it a static IP, and changed the hostname entry in etc/hosts file as part of the 10G WinXP recommended pre-installation instructions.
And yet I find I have to start Oracle when I am not connected to the LAN or the services will not start correctly. If this is a "feature" then hopefully someone will tell us and maybe give us a workaround or give us an idea if this will be addressed in a future release. Having said that and in fairness to the Oracle product; being a developer I have other products installed on my machine that have special networking setup needs also, and in my case this could be exasperating or even possibly causing this Oracle problem I am having. To be specific I have software for 2 different VPNs installed so I can tunnel into 2 private networks. One of these VPNs require me to make use of a DNS Suffix (as shown below) which might be contributing to my problems, not sure. I also have VMWare installed which uses it own network adapters when it is running, so you can see how things could get a little hairy... at any rate, there is my 2 cents worth (or is that 5 cents? : )

Firefox will not start at all

New versions of Firefox will not start and only bring up the crash reporter. I've tried starting in safe mode, I've deleted/created new Profiles and I've uninstalled/installed Firefox over and over. I can still download 28.0 and it has no problem opening. Below is the latest Crash ID from 35.0
Crash ID: bp-4ac8fb2d-9a2a-4a6a-a9e4-06cc42150125

hello sid.robinson, this crash is caused by the "Digital Guardian" software by Verdasys that is running on your computer. Please see if there's an update available for that program.

Firefox 3.6.8 will not start. I have to go to safe start, click reset to default, ok, then the shutdown box appears, I click cancel and it will open. I have rest profile, uninstalled and reinstalled, clicked alll he boxes on safe start, tried an older version need help. in English
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== either after I last updated to 3.6.6 or .7 or reset my inernet exploerer values to default

I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails.

Mac crash; recovery will not start

Yesterday my Mac suddenly crashed into a screen with blue (and white) lines. It wouldn't respond to anything, so I powered it down and tried to boot again. However, it will not boot. It will show the Apple logo, request my password and after a while (with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel) it just shows a blank screen (grey), while the CPU fans are spinning like crazy.Sometimes will it not even get this far and stop doing anything before requesting the password. The guest mode has the same problem.
I basically tried everything to fix it; the recovery option will also show the blank grey screen but nothing else (even after 30 minutes); the internet recovery downloads fine and then pulls the same stunt, so even the recovery will not work. I've tried save mode, which cannot start up (Filevault is activated) and seems to end mid-way through. Sometimes the safe mode crashes immediately after the boot starts with a kernel panic (/sbin/launchd failed, errno 2); after resetting the NVRAM it won't panic.
I've checked the hardware (T startup option, full check), which al seems to be OK. SMART status from the harddrive looks OK (checked with DiskWarrior). Starting in single user mode sometimes gets me through the password request screen and allows me to check the hard drive (fsck -fy). This seems to change permissions, however, after a reboot or exit command, the problem persists and starting up in single user mode and performing the fsck -fy command again seems to fix some issues. When I enter the exit command in safe mode, it'll start up fine, but when the graphic user interface starts, it'll give me the grey screen again (so a blank screen, while the CPU fans are at full power).
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? Since even the recovery will not start (and neither will the internet recovery), I've got no clue what to do to fix this issue...

Your comment about the "blue and white lines" has me wondering. You say you have a fairly recent MacBook Pro, correct? If that is the case, you probably have a model which has both discrete and integrated GPUs. It is possible that your discrete GPU has failed, and whenever the OS is trying to switch to it is when your system just "hangs" (because the GPU has failed). It all works properly as long as it is on the integrated GPU, but when something causes it to switch it hits the bad GPU and locks.
I would suggest that you make an appointment at your nearest Apple Store to have the specialists at the Genius Bar take a look at it for you. If you are still under the 1 year warranty (or extended Apple Care if you purchased it) then any needed hardware repairs would be free, unless it is due to accidental damage such as a spill in the keyboard, etc.
If you don't have access to an Authorized Apple Service Center, and you do have access to another Mac, you could try making an external boot drive on the other Mac, then install the app "gfxCardStatus" on that MacOS instance (when booted from the external drive). While still booted from the external drive, use the gfxCardStatus app to force the Mac to only use the integrated GPU then shutdown and boot your "dead" Mac from that drive. If it boots and runs, now, try to change the external drive to force to use only the discrete GPU then see how your system boots. If your system, will fully boot using one or the other, then it seems that your problem is probably related to one of your GPUs. It could be a hardware failure, or it could be a corrupted driver. If your system won't boot from either GPU, then my guess about it being a GPU issue is probably wrong.
