SnowLeopard, Update, doesn't boot.

I have a Mac mini Model A1176, awesome computer till recently. I updated the OS and upon reboot it doesn't boot up. So i tried the following. .
1. unplugged everything let it set for 10 min or so. plugged the power and monitor in (bluetooth keyboard mouse) still doesn't boot, i dont think the problem is in my external devices.
2. target boot into an external hard drive. ran leopard and backed up my user file. The system booted just fine with the external, everything worked, i dont think its the logic board.
3. reinstalled snow leopard and everything was working fine on the fresh install. (i also dont think its the hard drive sense it formatted and installed fine) I updated just the core system update and when it restarts it doesn't boot up. Starts normally, goes to the apple screen with the little loading icon spinning, then it flashes blue (like leopard before it boots) then it goes back to the apple screen with the loading icon and it freezes.
4. The computer booted up fine before i updated, Im pretty much lost. I would like to run the latest updates, we use this mini as a family media center. Any suggestions on to what i should do?

You could try a reset. Unplug everything except a PC key board connected to the USB port and monitor.
Hold the power button in for about 5-8 seconds until you hear a loud bong then a small bong.
If that doesn't work try this.
1. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
4. Let go of the power button.
5. Press the power button once more to start up your Mac mini.
If that doesn't work your HD partitions may be corrupted. Boot up the mac mini with the Install disk in the CD-ROM and with a PC keyboard connected via the USB port hold down the "c" key then press the power button.
In the install system options menu use the disk utility to check your HD's. Completely repartition the HD with the disk utility then install Mac OS X. If that still doesn't solve the problems you may need to have a new HD installed.
Also with the A1176 you can do a hardware test. Using the original install disks that came with your mac mini (Mine are a Tiger 10.4 Gray CD) start your computer while holding down the "d" key on a PC usb keyboard. When the Hardware tests loads then select extended testing to see if the hardware tests detect any problems.
If you still can't solve the problem you may need to have a specialist look at your computer.

Mac Book Pro doesn't boot (twice; after updating) and slow performance before these incidents

Hi,
Maybe someone can help me resolving a (re) boot issue with my Mac Book Pro. Last few weeks I experienced a tremendous drop in performance (start-up as well as handling and using applications).
Yesterday I downloaded and installed an app to clean stuff from the mac, such as binaries that aren't used, cache files, etc. It resulted in substantial better performance. Than, I used the updater on this application to update. This morning, the Mac wouldn't boot. After several attempts I used the old DVD with Mac OS X to re-install and boot. That worked.
Following this approach, I received two messages (that HP apps weren't secured or something and therefor disabled). Than I updated the Mac OS X and later this evening it asked me if I wanted to install some (4) other updates as well (don't know what updates these were). So I updated but now I am back at square one: My Mac doesn't boot. I do get the grey starting screen, but now even the 'apple' logo is missing.
Anyone else experiencing these problems and have any clues on how to fix it? By the way, I also tried to alter permissions on all files on the main hard drives (to ensure that I do not always have to sign off on updates and or changes of applications). Would that have caused problems?

You seem to have a lot going on here, so it's hard to know what's wrong. You likely had some underlying problems before doing the Software Update.
Here's a link that might help with the grey screen problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Which app did you download?
If you can get booted up, check in the System Profiler to see that all of your RAM is recognized--if not, you may need to reseat one or both sticks.
If you can boot from your install disc, run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to check for hardware problems. Freezing can be caused by a dying hard drive, which can also tend to corrupt software.
While booted from the install disc, navigate to Disk Utility and repair your boot disk. You can do this 2 or 3 times even if it says no problems found.
While in Disk Utility, check to see that the SMART status of your hard drive is verified. If not, you will need to replace the drive.
It probably wouldn't hurt to reinstall the OS.
Do you have a good, up to date backup? If not, it would be a good idea to make one as soon as you can, just to be on the safe side.
Have you tried a Safe Boot?

[SOLvED]Installation restore after BIOS update. UEFI doesn't boot.

Hello.
In order to solve my trouble with firewire on my motherboard in was adviced -in the FW mailing list- to update the BIOS. As expected the boot entry created with efibootmgr was erased but thats fine and i knew it was going to happen.
The problem however is that neither archboot (USB) neither archiso (CD) nor ubuntu12.04 (USB) can boot into it so i can restore the uefi entries.
All hang with a blank screen. Ubuntu and Archboot booted fine in UEFI mode before the update.
I tried nomodeset, acpi=off and noapic but ended up with the same blank screen and no messages at all.

I downgraded to the previous (83) and to the original (70) and it doesn't boot in any of those two in UEFI.
It worked fine with version 70 before the morning update.

Thinkpad T440p BIOS Update Bootable CD doesn't boot

Hi,
I want to update my laptop (Thinkpad T440p 20AW)bios to the latest version 2.24 released 04 Jun 2014, but I can't! As always I burn the iso file on a cd and try to boot with cd but after the first THINKPAD screen it doesn't go to the bios update screen and it returns to THINKPAD screen. I tried to install updates through an usb stick but the same. I mean moving(installing) the iso image on a usb and trying to boot with usb to update the bios but it doesn't work too. Here with F12 at boot time I choose the usb to boot but it doesn't boot and it returns to choose device list.
Any advice?!

If the OS on your laptop is Windows 8 the most chance the cause is "Secure Boot" settings. It prevents the boot from external device by default.
Read the User Guide for your laptop, there are BIOS Setup menu settings descriptions.
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
Do it well, worse becomes itself

Comp doesn't boot after bios update

I flashed the new 1.90 bios using winflash on my K8N Neo2 Platinum, after the reboot my comp screen didn't turn on and ventilators stayed at max rpm.
I tried clearing CMOS (i know it can't do anything but it's worth trying) and using another stick of ram (PC4000 on hynix chips that can do cl3, my BH5 doesn't boot on cl 3)
but nothing helped.
Is there a way of reverting to the older BIOS?

Well it's hard to flash back to an earlier bios if your system don't post .
What you can do is to shut off system , remove +5vsby by turning off PSU .
Then remove all devices except the neccesary cpu/memory/gfx card/floppy drive (specially disconnect all USB ,including usb mouse/usb kb )
After having it barebone , reset cmos with the jumper (min 15.secs to be sure) .
Connect the power and see if it posts with a normal PS2 keyboard and no mouse.
If it does you can flash back with a msdos bootable floppy with awfl833d.exe and the bios file on it .

My mac is slow, crashes if iPhoto is opened, doesn't boot sometimes

Hello.
In the last time, my MacBook Pro is very slow and crashes sometimes if I open iPhoto or some other programs.
Sometimes, there comes a black display with some thin white lines and then I have to restart the computer.
Also, sometimes the mac doesn't boot right (you see only a grey display after the apple symbole).
I already repaired the system with Disk Utility and erased it to install a backup of my system.
Thank you for your help!
Best regards....

System doesn't boot kernel26beyond

Once it has booted, everything works fine, but it is highly annoying nevertheless.

I am using mkinitcpio already: /boot/grub/menu.lst:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda4 ro
initrd /kernel26beyond.img
my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES=""
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide filesystems"
I tried removing scsi and sata, since my root is on an ide disk. But the problem persists.
also recreating an image using mkinitcpio or reinstalling the kernel26beyond package using pacman doesn't help.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong and how this problem might be resolved.
It seems like a trivial issue since the systems basically works fine otherwise. However, I can't figure it out by myself, I have tried for a week.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I suddenly was having a lot of trouble booting. My system would just freeze with a blinking cursor. I thought it had something to do with my floppy drive because if I changed the boot priority in my bios to boot from the hard disk 1st, the system would boot but would hang for a very long time in areas, and as long as 5 minutes loading uevents. I suspected this was a udev problem.
I issued a few commands to reset udev, thinking maybe recent updates didn't take effect, which did the trick...
# udevtrigger
# udevcontrol reload_rules
After that, everything is back to normal. I'm still learning about udev and I'm still fuzzy about a lot of the techy stuff.

IBook G4 doesn't boot

Hi,
I just bought a broken iBook G4 on eBay thinking I would be able to fix it without replacing the logic board. The iBook doesn't boot properly. When I press the power button, I can hear the SuperDrive start up, then the screen with the gray Apple shows up and the OS starts to load normally. But when that screen goes away and the blue background comes up, it just stops there... no "Loading Mac OS X" window with the progress bar. I figured that this may have been a deviation of the iBook G4 logic board problem where people used clamps to pin down the left side of the iBook and hold the faulty chip to the logic board, allowing the iBook to boot. I gave it a shot, but instead of using clamps I tried putting a small rubber shim on top of the faulty chip inside of the case to see if it would work. The first time I booted it up after I placed the shim, it worked fantastically. No hanging at the loading screen, no sluggish performance.
That was the way it worked for a couple of days. However, the booting problem soon returned. I tried booting from a Tiger reinstall disk to verify/repair the disk/permissions, but the iBook hung at the same blue screen. I didn't have the original install discs that came with the iBook, so I couldn't run a hardware test on it. I also tried booting from a Leopard install disk to no avail. Resetting the PRAM, NVRAM, and PMU did nothing as well. I even went so far as to replace the RAM in the expansion slot with RAM that I knew was working, but the iBook remained broken.
The strangest part of this was that the iBook worked perfectly on another computer when put into TDM. I was able to verify/repair both permissions and the disk from my Power Mac G5. Even though the iBook's screen becomes scrambled with random colors and lines after a few minutes in TDM, it functions just fine on another computer. I was even able to successfully boot my Power Mac and iMac from the iBook in TDM. Seeing as this was possible, I tried reinstalling Tiger on the iBook (in TDM) remotely from my Power Mac. It worked like a charm. Following that reinstall, I downloaded and installed all of the software updates. Then I tried to boot the iBook natively again, but to no avail. It still hung at that same blue screen.
At this point, I suspect that there is something wrong with the logic board that I am unable to fix without completely replacing the logic board itself. That's sort of disappointing, but I guess that's just the way it is. If anyone has any input to this, feel free to respond. Here are the iBook's specs:
CPU: 1Ghz (1064Mhz)
RAM: 256MB soldered, 1 expansion slot open
HDD: 30GB 4200 rpm
Screen Size: 12 inches
Optical Drive: Combo Drive
For the complete list of specs, see this page: http://support.apple.com/specs/iBook/iBookG4_Early2004.html
Thanks,

Trevor,
I just took the heatsink off and I see the GPU. However, there are multiple parts to it.
So that would be called a daughter card. The problem with a daughter card is that the possibility of a reballing/reflowing failure is increased.
Should I place a shim over the whole chip or just one part of it?
It's that whole daughter card that has the problem. I've got a post around here somewhere. Here's the thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6051715&#6051715
The picture is here:
http://tinyurl.com/3835w2
Also, what material should I use for a shim here?
Probably the most elegant solution would be to use thermal pads like the ones that are already there. Don't build them up too much.
What about from underneath?
My fear is that a metal shim will short the GPU and damage the logic board permanently. But I also fear that an insulating shim will not conduct heat as it is supposed to and cause the GPU to overheat.
Dale at Superior says that chip doesn't put out much heat but better to be overly cautious. I wouldn't use metal since there's no give to it. What's directly under that 9200 daughter card? One of my thoughts was to shim from both sides.
Where did you put that first shim?

HP Stream 7-Windows 10 doesn't boot, I can't recovery 8.1 because can't boot from USB-HELP please!!

Hi everybody, I'm new here!
I am (scuse me: WAS) enjoying a Stream 7
Some days ago I tried to install Windows 10 TP upgrading 8.1 with Bing. After some waiting time it succeeded, but unfortunately I forgave to put in the tablet's SSD the hp drivers, thinking they weren't necessary. So touchscreen, WiFi and all the other stuff didn't work. After I collegated via OTG a keyboard and a mouse I managed to use Windows 10.
Trying to install drivers, my fault, I opened an .exe of Realtek (maybe for the audio), tablet asked to reboot and after that I cannot access to Windows anymore.
I tried to boot Windows 8.1 from a USB, but it doesn't boot, the same even if i disable secure boot.
With disabled bitlocker Windows gives this error
In boot option I set these settings
I put the usb in this way:
The Stream doesn't consider the USB absolutely XD
If I enable again the secure boot Windows gives this error (that at 99% is caused by the .exe I installed):
Rebooting the Stream a couple of time with secure boot it goes in a menu (where touchscreen works) where there are a lot of options to reset Windows, but none of them works. If I try to format from this menu it asks for my account's password, but it doesn't accepts the mine :/
If I try to open the recovery (from volume minus button when it starts) it gives this message:
Waiting for help,
Thank you for your patience!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi everyone. I think I have found a solution to this problem. Short background story, I too tried to install Windows 10 (10049) via Windows Update but I was never successful - got stuck at around 30% for more than an hour. I tried to restore to 8.1 but it gave me that 0xc000000f error. Luckily I had made a recovery image to USB before updating to Windows 10.
Please note that by doing this method, you will obviously lose your data.
Here's what you'll need:
- Recovery USB (if you don't have one, grab it from this link and I thank you that person from another post). Follow the instructions, this is just basically clean, format to FAT32, set primary and active, and then drag and drop the files and folders from the USB folder to the root USB drive. This particular recovery is from a 5701 model, there is actually no difference between Stream 7 models in terms of hardware, but software is configured differently (different language setup/format) depending on the country/region it's sold.
- OTG cable
- Powered USB hub
- USB Mouse and Keyboard
- A moment of your time
1. Plug in the OTG cable to the tablet, and then plug in the USB hub to power and to the OTG. After that, plug in the USB mouse and keyboard and Recovery USB to the USB hub.
2. Boot the tablet to BIOS by holding down Power + Volume Down at the same time, until you reach the Startup Menu.
3. Press F10 and navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options. In this menu, we'll have to restore the settings to default.
So if you have disabled Secure Boot, you first need to Clear All Secure Boot Keys and then Load HP Factory Default Keys. Then enable Secure Boot.
Make sure UEFI Boot Order is also default to as follows: OS boot Manager, USB Diskette, USB CD/DVD, Network Adapter.
If you did not make any changes, proceed to 4.
4. Be prepared to go back to the Startup Menu, because as soon as you press F10 and hit Yes, the tablet will automatically restart. So press and hold the Volume Down button after you hit on Yes.
5. Press F9 and select Boot From EFI File. If you've done the recovery image ghosting correctly onto the Recovery USB, you should see two entries. One should be RECOVERY and the other may depend (it could be SYSTEM or No label). Select RECOVERY, and then select bootmgr.efi.
At this point the tablet will boot off from the USB and will bring you to Windows Recovery.
6. Select your keyboard layout, and navigate to Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
If the drive partition/boot manager is not damaged, it will ask for a recovery key. You can actually skip this step and hide the numpad, revealing the option Skip this drive if you don't have the recovery key anymore, or just really want to start anew.
If the drive partition/boot manager is damaged, the Reset will proceed and will ask you to select a target operating system. In my case it was Windows 8.1.
7. The next screen will be about Reset your PC telling you what's going to happen. Tap Yes > Yes, repartition the drives > Fully clean the drive > Reset.
The tablet will now do its thing and restore to factory default.
After restoration, a BIOS screen will come up asking if you want to clear the TPM keys. Select Yes, and this will create a new key for the restored installation, bringing you back to a fully factory default tablet.
Notes:
I recommend not installing a generic Windows 8.1 ISO that is copied straight to the USB drive using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool or RUFUS. They won't be compressed or the same as WIMBOOT, which will take up more storage space than stock recovery.
You could actually install another version of Windows 8.1 on the tablet, assuming you know what you are doing (ie. making a WIMBOOT image).
You could also actually install Windows Technical Preview directly, again, assuming you know what you are doing.
This is just a guide to help you try recover your tablet from a failed Technical Preview installation. I hold no responsiblities over your actions.
What I recommend is that use 8.1 for now, and wait for the official release (or at least a more stable Technical Preview release for this tablet if you can't wait that long) of Windows 10.

Mac mini doesn't boot

Hi,
My 2009 Mac mini doesn't boot anymore : all I get is a blank screen, I can't even chose to boot on the restoration drive.
From your experience, what do you think it could be linked with ? motherboard ? RAM ? It doesn't looke like a hard drive issue.
Thanks

Hello! I'm having, what sounds like, the same issue. Everything was working fine, until I ran a combined update, as prompted, for 10.8.2. After the normal reboot, the computer boots to a plain, white screen with no Apple. The computer is not responding to any keyboard command at startup, be it any of the reset commands, 'C' to boot to the optical drive, or option to select the startup destination. When pressing the Caps/Num lock keys, I notice that none of the LED lights will turn on on the keyboard. The piggybacked optical mouse is not showing it's red light from the bottom either. These tested fine on my MacBook Pro, however, and have always worked with the Mac Mini. Connecting and reconnecting the devices does not help. I know how to run all of the hard disk repairs, the permission fixes, etc., but it appears as though something is stopping my USB devices from being utilized (or even powered) at startup. I work in IT, and I support Apple computers every day (point being, I do know my stuff).
I opened the case and disconnected the hard drive from the logic board, thinking a potential hard disk issue is to blame. Upon restart, I still get the BONG (chime), but the machine will still not respond to any keyboard commands. Plugging in a USB stick that was created as a Mountain Lion boot device in Disk Utility with the InstallESD.dmg doesn't yield any results (as I am unable to 'tell' the computer to boot from it). The system disc that was packaged with the Mini is in the optical drive, but the Mini won't boot to that either. I'm at a complete loss. This is a 2010 model which was purchased new in December in that year. I'm using HDMI directly to an HDTV. The cable is working, the TV is working, the optical drive works in another machine, and the hard disc makes the necessary sounds (but not anything out of the ordinary).
To reiterate, this happened IMMEDIATELY after installing the combined 10.8.2 update. I am seeing a lot of posts about this issue, but no actual solutions. The dialogue seems to die somewhere after, "Reset the PRAM."
PLEASE ADVISE

Kernel26 package now doesn't boot [FIXED!]

I grabbed the latest kernel pkg. didn't do lilo -v
and now it doesn't boot at all! [stop at the beggining of ..........]
well shouldnt at least boot the last one? [or automatically do lilo -v]
plz help me now
thanks

after a lot of testing and luck I was able to boot arch again [update lilo that is]
what did I do: [i did all that because lilo refuses either to write the map file, or protests about /dev/hda or /dev/discs/disc0/disc {depending if it was Slack or Arch}]
I booted with SlackWare 9.1 Rescue/Install CD {which has vfat}
and which plays without devfs [so /dev/hdb8 was my root arch]
I mounted my arch root
mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb8 /tmp
I change the /tmp/etc/lilo.conf to:
boot=/dev/hda
vga=792
default=windows
timeout=300
lba32
prompt
image=/tmp/boot/vmlinuz26 # important change
label=arch
root=/dev/hdb8
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
/boot [the slackware's cd's one] links to /mnt/boot so I did
mkdir /mnt/boot
and then tried to play with lilo a bit
. /tmp/sbin/lilo -C /tmp/etc/lilo.conf -m /tmp/boot/map -M /dev/hda mbr -v
with the above command I have a boot.0300
in /mnt/boot directory
so in the end I just did
cp /mnt/boot/boot.0300 /tmp/boot/
which overwrote the BAD AND UGLY AND OLD [and at last] boot.0300 with the new one [that containted info about the new kernel]
I prayed to Buddha a bit, and then reboot. I there chose arch and OMFG! i was able to boot it
a) I love LILO
b) I love Slackware
c) I love Arch [though I sumbitted some bug reports about the Rescue CD]
mostly I love the fact that I lost some hours do make it work, but now it works as before. On the other hand, I always remember myself trying for days to fix the windows, and then give up [or if i could hack it in a way that would work, then it would be giving me Blue Screens [now dark blue in win2k/xp] of DEATH]
so I must say I love the Penguin
yeahhhhhhhhh
thanks to everyone that helped.
I hope the pkger of kernel would soon add the WARNING [sumbitted bug for that too] and if anyone forgets it or wants to play [like me] then I hope for him that he reads this post, and make it work [i could work with Arch's Live CD too, not sure]
that's all baby.
another success story yeahhhhhhhhh!! :$

Adding 512mb ram doesn't boot up my MSI-6585!

My mobo is Max 648, MSI-6585 and I have Kingston KVR333X64C25/512 ram. I had installed it in first slot, moving 256mb PC2700 to other slot.
It will not boot up, and there were diagnosis leds light up telling me it's a fault memory or not installed properly so I took it back to shop and exchanged for another one.
And had a go with it, iy's the same as before.
I have been downloading test report and it states that this ram will work!
Is there anything I am missing? ?(
Installing ram should be straightforward??

Actually, 256mb pc2700 ram comes with motherboard works fine.
But my pc doesn't boot up with 512mb ram installed, even on its own (does boot up but produces some errors in windows XP)
However, I have checked everything and there's one thing i'm unsure about, I noticed that Hyper Threading is enabled on bios even though my intel CPU doesn't have HT. I have disabled it but i haven't test 512mb ram yet (with HT disabled) as i need to know what is causing this ram problem. Could enabling HT causes problem with rams or nothing at all?
I was contacted by Kingston support and they asked me if i have updated bios in my mobo and i checked, it's AMI 3.31a which is the latest at the moment as i have only received mobo a week ago.
But I have found other 648 Max mobo, MSI 6585 Mobo (without HT) it has bios version 1.5 as the latest.
My mobo manual logo say 648 Max (but didn't say HT)...could be mixed up?? ?(
But I assumed mine is 648 Max HT because my bios screen showed its AMI v3.31a which is like that since I receive this mobo.
Also could bios settings effect rams installed?

SnowLeopard, Update, doesn't boot.
