Start up stops at the happy mac

I have an old color iMac that has worked fine until recently. Now the computer goes to startup, but will stop at the happy Mac symbol and just stay there.
Does anyone know if there is way to reinstall the os without the CDs? I have no idea where my disks are now.
Or is there another way to fix my good old iMac?
Thanks in advance for any help!

There is no way to reinstall without the installation discs. Unfortunately, the problem you've reported requires installer discs to resolve.
You've posted this as apparently an OS X problem since your profile indicates you have 10.1.x installed. However, the "happy Mac" is a relic of OS 9. Are you sure you've posted in the proper forum?

WHY DO THE VIDEOS I AM TRYING TO VIEW (YOU TUBE ETC) START AND STOP ALL THE TIME.. I HATE THAT!!!

Why do the videos that I am trying to view (you tube etc) always start and stop. it is very annoying and I can't seem to fix it.... thanks for your pointers... as you can see, I am not a techie. the fact that numbers, letters and picture appear on my computer screen is

Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
A suggestion:
Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing).
Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up.
Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration."
Press close.

Hi - my Imac's hard drive keeps starting and stopping, when the imac is idle. The Imac is working perfectly otherwise. Any ideas?

Hi my 4 year old Imac's hard drive keeps starting, whirring briefly, then stopping, when the machine is asleep. Doesn't do it when in actual use. The Imac is working perfectly otherwise. Any ideas?

Gracias mi amigo; there are a lot of options on the side bar in console, but I think I can see the issue - calendar agent - thousands of entries, all identical. Recently installed outlook 2011, so ? conflicting with Ical?

TS1440 My start up stop on the Flashing folder screen, and I can not boot my mac...

I just tried to restore my Macbook Air (2011), and something goes wrong, because now there is a Flashing Folder with ? Mark on it... And even if I Start Up the system with the "option" button pressed, the HD icons does not appear...
What I do?

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by:
Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot From The Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

My imac does not start anymore (stops at the screen with the apple and a rotating circle). An idea what I could try to make it start again?

My Imac does not start anymore.
==> What I have already done:
1) I tried with the tigger dvd to reinstall. It didn't succeed.
2) Via the single mode, when starting I got the message "disk0s2: I/0 error" several times. After that I got "Root device is mounted read-only"
3) Nevertheless, I tried the "fsck -yf" function. After checking "Journal HFS Plus volume", "extends overflow file", "catalog file"... and invalid record count
==> /dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
Can someone advices me? I red on the internet I could reformat the disk... loosing all the data I didn't backed up. How am I suppose to reformat?
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Restart the computer while holding down your mouse button which if you hold it down long enough (5 minutes at most) should eject the disk
If the disk still doesn't come out at that point then you need hardware evaluation;
contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.

Can start and stop in the inspector be used 2 delay when music start/stops?

I figured out how to add music to my site (home page) and it loops which is great. However, I want
a 3 second delay at the start of the loop, while keeping the music on AUTO, so it starts when visitors come to my page Can this be done? Thanks!

Yeah...I've worked out an alternative, but it would be very nice if there was a feature like what I'm talking about. Basically, a start and end memory location that is multi configurable to whatever you want. It can loop, or just go back to the start location and stop. And every press of rewind takes you to the start.
I've come up with the key command, go to left locator or right locator, and don't enable cycle mode.

My 2011 MacBook Pro does not start and stop after the apple appear, they said that the problem is a video problem and need to change the logic board. Cost almost same to buy a new one. Somebody have the same problem?

I have a MacBook Pro early 2011. Does not start. After the apple show, a blank screen appear. The service said that the problem is with the video plaquue in the logic board. Need to change. Cost lmmost the same than a new MacBook Pro. Somebody has the same problem? What we can do?

I hate to break this to you, but life isn't fair. If your job is that critically in need of a computer, then you should have a spare to use for just this kind of situation or have your employer provide you with a computer to use.
Computers break down, just like cars. If your car breaks down do you curse the car maker or get it fixed? Surely, you paid more for your car than the computer.
This is reality. Best get used to it because it won't get any better.

In VB6, why is the "GPIBNotify sub" (from the GPIBNotify AtiveX Ctrl) all the time called even if no Event happened? This callback function is started then stopped permanently as if its received SRQ from the GPIB Bus. Any ideas?

I'm programming in Visual Basic 6 to communicate between a computer and HP Measurement Devices (BER-Meter) with GPIB. I have already read information and code for this. My platform is W98. The NI488.2 commands can be sent without any problem between the equipements. However when I'm using the GPIBNotify ActiveX Control to use the callback function, there is a permanent starting and stop of the GpibNotify Sub. The SetupMask and RearmMask are set to RQS and the HP Device is well configured. Moreover an oscilloscope measuring the 10th line (SRQ
) of the bus didn't show any pulse on the line behalf the right one. Any Idea?

Hello-
So, the SRQ is not detected by the oscilloscope? It must be a setting that is not correct with the instrument. Try contacting the manufacturer of the instrument for details about SRQ's. The GPIBNotify ocx will not be able to react to an SRQ if there isn't one.

Emac tried to start then stopped, finally after 3 attempts it started

After a hard drive failure i run my emac on an external hard drive through a fire wire.
That worked OK till yesterday when it tried to start but after a few seconds of the normal fan noise and before the screen lit up, it stopped. I hit the switch again and it did the same thing 3 times but on the 4th attempt it started but a white screen came on and told me to type "mac-boot" and hit return.
It finally started.
The external hard drive was still running OK at the time it had stopped, it was internally that it had stopped.
I took the back off the emac and vacuumed the dust from inside and after that it has since started normally every time though it seems slower to start, but I could be mistaken about that as I can't now remember noticing how long it took to start before.
Someone said the problem could be the power supply failing.
Is there any way for me to diagnose what exactly is wrong, since an emac power supply is not same as a PC power supply?
Could a PC power supply be modified to replace the emac power supply as I have a failed PC with a good power supply I could use if it would work?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Ann

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I neglected to mention that at the time of the hard disk failure I put a new hard disk inside too with the intention of using it as a back up to the External Hard Drive but I found it was easier in the end to get another external hard drive and now I use Time Machine to back up on to that 2nd external hard drive every few days.
I disconnect the 2nd external hard drive when I'm not backing up data on to it.
Most of the time when I boot up the emac it somehow knows to go straight to the 1st External Hard Drive instead of the Internal Hard Drive but occasionally it will go to the Internal Hard Drive and when it does that I have to go to System Preferences and then to Startup Disk and actually select the External Hard Drive icon and that's what I had to do every time when it was having that weird starting then stopping phase, ie, every time during the starting then stopping phase, when it did start it went to the Internal Hard Drive even after I would go into Startup Disk and select External Hard Drive it would start on the Internal Hard Drive, so in the end I didn't bother trying any more and I just connected to the internet through the Internal Hard Drive until I took the back off and vacuumed the dust out and ever since I did that it's been running normally, ie, it's always selecting the External Hard Drive again and running at what seems to be normal speed for everything too.
I just don't know why it went into that starting then stopping phase.
When it was in the starting then stopping phase the internal fan noise would stop but the little white light next to the DVD door would stay lit up so it was definitely getting some power from somewhere but it was failing to go on and boot up because the power to the internal fan had failed ie, I could clearly hear the fan stop only 3 or 4 seconds after hitting the start button.
I've just had a look at the capacitors that you suggested and they look perfect, like new in fact, they have a shiny metallic top with a + indented in the top and they are flat and they show no sign of a dried up liquid or any bubbling up anywhere.
Anyway, your reply was helpful since you ruled out the Power Supply and the capacitors, so thank you for those.
The friend who advised me how to get going again after the initial hard disk failure, ie, via the External Hard Drive connected by fire wire, did warn me not to touch anything in the back that wasn't directly related to changing the hard drive but thanks for the heads up anyway.

G3 is stuck on Happy Mac

I had bought a new fresh copy of OS X 10.0 and installed it on my Hard Drive...about 5 times now. Theres no third party hardware in the machine,but the videocard does tend to show trails of random things and colorwhen im working in Mac OS desktop and other programs. So i started to play a game and couldnt get out of it cause the screen went black so i hit the reset button on the front,the monitor showed black but the mac chime sounded. So i reset the PRAM by Command,Option,P and R and now the happy mac face is there only the hard drive does nothing,i hear no loading at all. The harddrive isnt old and works very well,im just wondering why the machine wont progress any further than the Happy Mac Icon. Ive actually reinstalled OS X 5 times now cause of this problem and each time something locks up the system. Firmware is up to date,it has plenty of RAM and Hard Drive Space so what could be the problem?

The minimum version of Mac OS X worth loading on a Mac is 10.2. Previous versions are not worth the pain and suffering.
Mac OS X 10.0 is really not very stable or very good. No one wants to support it because it works badly, if at all.

Music starts and stops during playback of burned DVD

I really need help with this problem...I made a slideshow and added music from itunes in the program IDVD. Once I burned the DVD the music will start and stop throughout the DVD and not at chapters as I read in other threads - but in random places on the DVD. The DVD sounds like it gets hung up and then starts again. This is my first project using IDVD, so any help would be great.

Debra,
Do your project have music purchased from iTunes? If so, that could be the cause of this problem. Music from iTunes is DRM-protected and can cause problems in playback. To take care of this, first burn all of your purchased music to a CD, then reimport in an aiff format. To do this, in iTunes, go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing. Look for "Import using", and use the drop-down menu to select AIFF encoder.
Good luck.

Start and stop a loop automatically subtracting at each iteration

Hi there,
I know that there are some topics about it, but I could not find any solution, especially because I use the version 7.1 and cannot open new version files.
My problem is as follows:
I need to charge a tank from 6 to 10 in the morning, every day during 3 days. The process must start and stop automatically, which means, no bottoms to start or stop. The start and stop conditions come from the hour.
I start with a big loop of 72 iterations, which corresponds to 72 hours.
The tank must start at level 6 every time it starts.
After the start, 1 unit must be subtracted in each iteration. Which means, that at 6 am the tank has level 10, at 7 am level 9 and so on. In the end, at 10 am the tank level is equal to 2.
In the next day, the process must start again and the tank must start at level 6.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While this may work it can be improved significantly. This really isn't a state machine. This is basically the same as your flat sequence with the exception of using a While loop with a Case statement to implement each frame.
You should define what your actions are and create a typedefed ENUM naming them. State names of 1 through 24 are meaningless. Not to mention in your code many of the cases are duplicates of others. That would mean that all of those can be one state with logic to determine what action/state comes next. A properly defined state machine would not need the outside For loop. Without knowing your specific needs some examples of reason state names would be the following: Start, Stop, Exit, Error, Initialize, Get Tank Level, Fill Tank, Drain Tank, Idle, etc. Can you see how these are easier to understand than 1 through 24.
There are lots of examples of state machines here. Try a search and take a look at some of them.

Stuck on Happy Mac?

Hello,
my old iMac G3 (summer 2000) is stuck on the Happy Mac during boot! I can put a CD in and boot from a software restore disk, which I did, but even after restoring it's not working! Help me please!
P.S. I'm running OS 9.0.x

It's good that it's the happy Mac & not the sad Mac. Look at this link.
Mac OS 7.x - 9.x: Troubleshooting Startup Issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1926
Try a startup with extensions Off (depress the Shift key at startup).
If that doesn't work, try a PRAM zap (Depress the following keys at startup; CommandOption+PR & listen for at least 2 bongs; then release the keys)
Once you get your startup problem resolved, you should update your OS to at least 9.1 (or higher). The freeware updaters are at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1387

Re: Starting and Stopping Repository Mgr Service

Hello All,
I am running Forte 3.0.D.0 on Windows NT 4.0. At night, I run batchfiles to backup and clean the repository.
>>
With previous versions of Forte (before 2.H) my scripts simply did anrpstop, rpcopy, rpclean and finally a rpstart to start the repository again.
This worked great.
>>
Now, however, I am running the Repository Manager as an NT service, soI can no longer run rpstop or rpstart (rpstart does not start the Repository
Manager service).
>>
One solution I have found is to use Net Stop and Net Start to stop andstart the Repository Manager service, so my script looks something like
this:
>>
rpcopy...
net stop "Forte Repository Manager 3.0.D.0"
rpclean...
net start "Forte Repository Manager 3.0.D.0"
This seems to work fine most of the time, but occasionally the servicewon't stop or start (like when a workspace is open). My questions are:

1) Are there any other command line processes that people knowof to start and stop a service?
>>
2) What is Forte's recommended process for starting andstopping the Repository Manager service in a script?
>>
>>
Thanks for your help

Your object could actually bind to a port using serverSocket.accecpt() and when a connection comes in, it exists.
