[SOLVED] syslinux menu just keeps looping
The computer boots, the syslinux menu shows up, and selecting the Arch partition nothing happens. Syslinux counts down to zero and just keeps looping.
syslinux.cfg
DEFAULT arch
PROMPT 0 # Set to 1 if you always want to display the boot: prompt
TIMEOUT 50
# You can create syslinux keymaps with the keytab-lilo tool

If you solved it, it would be nice to post what you did for the benefit of others.

My iPhone 3G 16gb in white: I did all the things you mentioned, but it just keep looping the Apple logo and doesn't turn off until it is out of battery, and I am using a MacBook Pro 15inch Unibody if that does matter
If you are in Hong Kong, go to Digital Trade, 1/F, Sincere Plaza, Argyle Street, and it will cost you 120-150HKD, but before you go check that your power button and home button are working correctly, if not press as hard as you can, hope this will help.

My ipod touch 5th generation went into recovery mode when I tried to update ios. When I try to recover it just keeps looping back to recovery mode. I tried to hold the power button for 3 secs. then simultaneously hold the home button for 10 secs. then hold only power button for 20 secs. I tried this several times to no avail. This is my daughter's ipod. I am computer illiterate and I'm not sure what else to try.
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

You need to enter the Apple ID and password that was used to set up/activate the phone. There is no way around this.

i just purchased monthly plan for creative cloud. I understood the plan included photoshop. But no idea how to open photoshop app. just keep looping into screens which instruct me to purchase creative cloud. hugely frustrating. on hold forever with customer service.
First check to see your plan is active: Adobe ID
Try launching Photoshop choosing Trial instead of a purchase.
Mac /Applications/Photoshop CC/Photoshop CC.app
Windows C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Photoshop CC.exe
Then once inside, go to Help > Sign in... There, use the email address and password for your account and it should activate.
If that does not work, could you tell me what version of PS you have and what os version you are using? -
Flash export of slideshow keeps looping, hyperlinks not working.
I have made an intro page for a website using Keynote 3 <http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/Tricktrial/Welcome.html> I can't figure out why the page keeps looping. It should go through it's transitions and then stop. Right? Also, the ENTER hyperlink is supposed to go to <http://web.mac.com/archstanton1862/iWeb/Trickracing1/Menu.html> but it instead goes to www.apple.com/startpage What's the deal? I have loop slideshow "unchecked" in the playback options. I used iWeb Enhancer 1.0.1 to embed the flash animation html, and it worked awesome. It just keeps looping and the hyperlink is wrong. Is what I'm wanting to do even possible? HELP!!
Looks like everything's working to me. I was having this same problem, but never got around to uploading the flash to the site because it keeps looping for me, too. But your's seems to be fine--did you do anything to correct this, or did it seem to fix itself?!

Hi- I changed my _root to _level0 and it imported- but now
when i reach that slide the menu just keeps blinking (looping) it
doesn't act like a menu- it just keeps looping- what now??? It
previews just fine on import but when I preview in browser or
project- it just keeps looping- I'm so aggravated- this is supposed
to be a simple thing- I created the menu in Flash and I want to add
it to Captivate to get to the other frames- here is the code:
this._lockroot = true;
_level0.HomePage.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_HomePage) {
_level0.HomePage.nextFrame();
} else {
_level0.HomePage.prevFrame();
_level0.AboutUs.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_AboutUs) {
_level0.AboutUs.nextFrame();
} else {
_level0.AboutUs.prevFrame();
_level0.Services.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_Services) {
_level0.Services.nextFrame();
} else {
_level0.Services.prevFrame();
_level0.DesignAdvice.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_DesignAdvice) {
_level0.DesignAdvice.nextFrame();
} else {
_level0.DesignAdvice.prevFrame();
_level0.OnlineStore.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_OnlineStore) {
_level0.OnlineStore.nextFrame();
} else {
_level0.OnlineStore.prevFrame();
_level0.ContactUs.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mouse_over_ContactUs) {
_level0.ContactUs.nextFrame();
} else {
_level0.ContactUs.prevFrame();Hi lisalis72
You might want to consider also posting this question over in
the
Flash
Forums. There are some here that regularly combine Flash with
Captivate, but most of us are clueless with Flash and only work
with Captivate. So your chances of seeing an answer might be better
over in the Flash forums.

Hello,
I need to create an email sub account but the link for the "Create Sub-Accounts Tool" just keeps looping back to the over view page. Where is the tool actually located?
Thank you in advance for your time and attention.Ok, after *much* more fiddling around this place ( It was a trial just to get logged in -eeeesh! ) I finally found a link for it here that seems to work:

Precomposed Menu keeps looping to intro sequence
How can I make the DVD stop at main menu? It keeps looping to the intro sequence.
thanks, but how do I take a screen capture please?
If you're on a pc, just hit the PrtScn button, then paste that into a Photoshop document.
It is a motion asset that is part of the menu. Everything works except it won't stay on main menu.
Since you mention "precomposed," look at the tutorial page on Jon Geddes' site:
http://www.precomposed.com/tutorials/
You set a loop point to tell the menu where to loop back to once it has gone through the full motion asset once. Is it looping back to the beginning?
Other help files regarding motion menus, and doing them in AE:

I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball). Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?
Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
Quit the MAS if it's open.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the MAS. -
have been trying to download cc and lightroom thru it, but no luck. just keep getting put into loops with no further activity.
If you describe your issue with more concrete details rather than words like “loops” then maybe someone can recognize what is happening and give some advice.
A screenshot would also help. -
Does anyone ever get a human being when calling prepaid support at 888-294-6804? It tells me call volumes are higher then normal and I can stay on the line, but it just keeps repeating the menu options and eventually hangs up on me. That is really irritating!! I'd at least like the option to wait on hold. I guess I should have listened to the warnings about prepaid support before switching to prepaid last week.
The reason I'm calling support is I'd like to know when I will be getting the extra 500MB of data when signing up for auto pay. This is one of the reasons I switched to a 4G Allset plan. I signed up for auto pay promptly after setting up my online account when I switched from post paid to pre paid on Thursday July 17, 2014.I'm sorry you are having trouble reaching a representative, mhaider60. When calling our Prepaid department you can reach a representative using the following number and prompts: 888-294-6804 when prompted, select 4, 6, and 4 to reach a representative.

[SOLVED]SYSLINUX - dual bot arch and gento - fail
Hi
I am experimenting with gentoo (well not just yet and i can not boot the gentoo kernel. Gentoo is on partition /dev/sda6 and doesn't have a boot flag. Partitinon /dev/sda1 has a boot flag. I don't have a separate boot partition. Gentoo kernel was compiled with genkernel. When i choose gentoo from syslinux menu nothing happens. Menu just refreshes. If i press ESC and write down gentoo then it complains about not finding image ...
I didn't install syslinux on gentoo.
Here is my syslinux.cfg:
LABEL arch
MENU LABEL Arch Linux
LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
APPEND root=UUID=9f8eadcf-69e5-4786-869c-94cafcfff567 ro
INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img

INITRD /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
I have also followed arch wiki about chainloading and this is my syslinux.cfg from gentoo partition:
timeout 10
ui menu.c32
label gentoo
linux /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo
append root=UUID=9ea3ac89-3b72-458a-95fc-61095ea52cc4 ro quiet
label MAIN
com32 chain.c32
append hd0 0
EDIT:
SOLVED by this config changes:
syslinux.cfg on /dev/sda1 (arch)
LABEL gentoo
MENU LABEL gentoo
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND hd0 6
syslinux.cfg on /dev/sda6 (gentoo):
TIMEOUT 10
UI menu.c32
LABEL gentoo
MENU LABEL gentoo
LINUX /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-3.8.13-gentoo

APPEND root=UUID=9ea3ac89-3b72-458a-95fc-61095ea52cc4 ro quiet

Any ideas?
