Starting up Leopard first time after installation

Just install Leopard onto imac G5 - dock appears - top bar appears - no desktop icons - just the cursor activity

Hi Daniel Ebeck;
I don't know why you say that you dislike the Upgrade path.
So for I have always used for all versions of OS X including Leopard. It has worked flawlessly for me on both my MacBook Pro and my PowerMac Quad.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

    We're sorry.

    Hi
    Are you still experiencing the issue or is it fixed now?

  • JDeveloper start VERY slowly first time after power cycle

    I'm running JDeveloper Version 9.0.2 in a classroom situation on about 15 Win-2000 machines (aprox 700Mz). The first time jdevw.exe is launched after power up, it takes 5-7 minutes before the splash screen appears. Re-launching the applcation subsequent times takes 10-20 seconds for the splash screen to appear. The taskmanager show 100% CPU Usage during the 5-7 minute period. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ralph Wieland

    Do you have any virus checker installed? Some of them want to check each and every .zip and .jar file before they OK the use of these libraries.

  • My system freezes during start-up "for first time" after running System Recovery.

    HP G62-227CL
    Win 7 (64 bit)
    No error message, per se; just a frozen screen during reboot.
    Months ago, my computer suddenly started glitching on me.  I shut down and tried a reboot.  The system froze on the boot screen with the flying colors.  Tried system recovery several times  but must have done something wrong because it would not run.  Resolved to buy a new hard drive and reinstall from recovery discs.  Delayed for no good reason until today, months later.
    Before buying new hard drive, decided to run System Recovery again.  It worked!  I tried the option that deleted everything and restored to original factory settings and software.  Everything appeared to work like a charm: hard drive reformatted, software reinstalled, system prompted me for a reboot.  I did.  Windows started to start, "Setup preparting your computer for the first use" appears . . . and freezes.  For hours.  Hard drive indicator light is off.
    BTW, made sure that the Wi-Fi button was on as I read about Recovery issues if it was off when the program ran.
    Rebooted.  Hit F11.  Ran maintenance and checked hard drive for errors.  There are errors.  Unfortunately, the default setting of CHKDSK does not repair them.   Opted for a command prompt.  Rand CHKDSK again with "/f /r" option seen in other posts.  I'm too ignorant here to get the program to run properly, I guess.  I ran CHKDSK on both drive X and C.  No errors found . . . sort of.  I know they exist because the system will not boot up.  (Yes, I tried again.)  Back at command prompt, I tried to run CHKDSK on drive C again.  This time I received a message that I would first have to unmount (dismount?) the drive.  As I do not know what this means, I opted for "no" and have decided to post this message for assistance.
    So.  Suggestions on what I do next?  More specifically: how do I get CHKDSK to repair the errors it found?  I believe the message was: "Errors in $130 of sector . . ."  It displays this message twice at 62% completion.  Freezes for a long time.  Gets going again only to slow to a crawl again around 70% but for not as long.  Then returns back to the start screen of System Recovery.
    Ran System Recovery again for kicks.  Again, appeared to work like a charm.  Unfortunately, the laptop is once again sitting frozen on the "Preparing . . . for first use" screen again.  It is getting hotter the longer it sits.  The fan is now audibly running at higher rpms . . . if any of that helps.  I'm shutting it down and waiting for your advice.
    Thanks!
    This question was solved.

    Hello Miles1966.  I understand you're experiencing some issues with your notebook freezing.
    This does sound like a hard drive problem.  The freezes, missing HDD indicator light, and inability to perform a recovery are all symptoms of a failing hard drive.  You had been using CHKDISK previously but have you tried running the diagnostic which is built into the BIOS?  Try following these steps and post the result of the diagnostic.  I suggest running the memory test as well just in case.
    Let me know the result of these diagnostics.  I hope you have a great day!
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

    This could be a effect of some earlier exception. Can you look through the log to see if other exceptions are thrown.
    You might also want to search AgentProfileFormHandler in your log to see if an exception is thrown while initializing the component

  • Snow Leopard not booting after installation in rEFIt triple boot system

    Hello,
    I have a Core Duo Mac mini, on which I was successfully using a rEFIt triple boot configuration with
    Leopard, Windows XP and Linux. After installing Snow Leopard on top of Leopard, Snow Leopard boots directly (without rEFIt showing up) the first time after installation. On the following reboots, rEFIt shows up but when selecting Mac OS, the system shows first the grey screen with the Apple icon, then it shows a grey screen with a "no access" icon and does not make any further progress. I reinstalled several times and at last I even removed rEFIt, but Snow Leopard won't boot anyway.
    Can anybody help? Thanks

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?

  • TS2518 My RAW (nikon .NEF) files changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import.

    My RAW (nikon .NEF) files are literally changing to a dull, darker version of themselves after selecting them for the first time after import. I.e. The correct photo (light/color/etc) seems to be there and then a second later the photo changes. It's almost like it's showing a quick enhanced version then back to basic raw image. Started within last two updates.
    Is there a fix or is this the straw that forces a switch to Lightroom?

    Just recall that Aperture (or any other 3rd party raw converter) has NO information about the JPEG preview and how it was made.  That information is camera-vendor proprietary.
    Also note that there are like 6 "picture styles" in camera and this change you're seeing is entirely dependent on how you have them set.  If you have your camera set to "vivid" or something you'll see more of a change than if your on-camera is set to "faithful."
    That said, people here ALSO complain that Aperture's initial renders are TOO vivid, the exact opposite of your complaint, so you can't please everybody (in some cases, it seems you can't please ANYBODY ;-)
    Aperture provides a starting point.  Again, if you don't like it, you can tell Aperture to go with a "punchier" interpretation at its first render.  In the import dialog, try setting Aperture to use the "auto enhance" preset which is built in.  Aperture will add a little vibrancy adjustment, and it will add a curve, which will greatly add punch to the image.  If you want adjustments in a different direction, you can create a preset and set it at import.
    The only thing Aperture CANNOT do is what you're asking, which is "take the JPEG that my camera vendor generates through some voodoo and try and render the raw file just like that."  It's, unfortunately, impossible to do.

  • Apps opening first time after restart crash but reopens ok

    Applications (Mail, Archive Utility, TextEdit and many misc ones) opening for the first time after a restart crash but then re-open ok.
    This repeats again after a restart.
    They all open ok on the second try.
    The same applications can open ok the first time after a restart but different ones then crash but open ok after a second try.
    I have not tried another account yet.
    Any ideas appreciated.
    Thanks ... Ken

    Thanks for the response.
    Start apps mostly from Overflow.
    Trashing Overflow prefs and Finder prefs did not help.
    Also Archive Utility SOMETIMES quits first time:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/Archive Utility.app
    Next time I will check the Console and post the contents.
    Thanks ... Ken

  • Why can't rotate first time after launch in iPhone?

    launch app -> rotate device -> view rotated ok.
    but
    rotate device -> launch app -> view not rotated.
    what's the reason?

    It can auto-rotate at the first time after launch now.
    The reason seems not be the interface builder. Previously, I compiled the app using SDK 2.0, while the iphone's OS is 3.0. Now it is OK, I compile using SDK 3.0.
    But there is another problem. I want to switch from a non-rotatable view to a rotatable view, and if the device is in landscape mode, I want the rotatable view auto rotate to landscape mode.
    Safari can do this. But I don't know how to implement this myself.
    I switch views in this way: [view1 removeFromSuperview], [window addSubview:view2];
    because I find shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is called when using addSubview.

  • Satellite L505-13X - Doesn't start at the first time

    my laptop does not start at the first time I turn and I put it out several times that it starts

    Hello
    > thanks you my friend but my problem has not been answered yet. because i have more than one laptop and all have the same problem
    For me it sounds like a software problem.
    I mean if you have installed XP, nobody knows which drivers you have installed and applications. Everything could cause this issue and in this case you have to search for a solution yourself.
    If you install the OS from Toshiba recovery disk and everything works properly, its not a hardware malfunction and not an issue of Toshiba.

  • Time machine would back up only the first time after I shut off my imac and started it up again.  Then it would fail or claim it could not locate my external Hard Drive even though it's icon was showing in the time machine dialog window.

    Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off.  All other back up attemps fail.  Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function.  Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
    The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity.  I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired.  The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
    I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?

    What Mac OSX version are your running ("iOS" as shown in your profile cannot run on a Mac computer)?

  • When I open FF4 for the first time after starting the computer it is very slow to load. From then on it loads normaly.

    I have an HP Pavilion DV9000.

    I had this problem too. Not just with FF 4 but also previous versions. For that and other reasons I decided to by an SSD and install windows and all the programs on there. That worked fine except for firefox. Boot time is much faster (2o secs) and programs (from the startup folder) are loaded almost immediately after the desktop comes up. However firefox still took 90 seconds to load. After some trial and error I disables in the registry prefetcher and superprefetch (I am running windows 7, no SP1). Then I restarted my computer twice. The first time firefox did not load any faster but at any subsequent startup firefox starts in a few seconds. In fact some times it is so fast it comes up before the wireless network connection is established. HTH
