Startup issues after installing OS 10.4.4

Hi,
I let software update install os10.4.4. It said I need to restart. I did. All I get is a blue screen with the cursor. Nothing else. No dock or drives.
I have tried...
reseting the pram
hooking up an external monitor
booting into safe mode (it won't, it just spins at the gray screen until you get tied of holding the shift key. Then boots blue screen.
This happened when I tried 10.4.3. I had to reinstall the OS.
So what's the deal? I'm I forever stuck at 10.3x?

Hey Guys,
I don't think this will help macNnutimac but in general I find that a lot of times blue screen at startup are caused by broken items in your startupitems folder. So start in safe boot and then check out all the files in /Library/StartupItems. Remove any you don't need until you find the one the allows proper startup. By the way, after you figure it out, since you've been doing quite a few forced shutdowns by this point, it would be a good idea to repair permissions once everything is working again. Hope this helps you out. Good Luck!

13" 2006 Macbook startup issues after installing new software

Okay, so I get the gray screen flashing between with the circle and the line going through it and the folder with a question mark. I press command + s when attempting to start up my computer and I get this message:

Can anyone help me?! Or is this the end of my 8 year relationship with my Macbook

Its kernel couldn't be loaded. This means that you have to reinstall Mac OS X.
If you have the OS X DVD, insert it, hold the C key while your Mac is starting and reinstall Mac OS X. Finally, run Software Update and install the latest version

Startup issues after installing mountain lion

Since I updated to mountain lion two days ago I'm having issues starting my mac after system shut down. When I switch my mac on I get a black screen with what looks like DOS writing, it won't go to the login screen unless I hold down the power button till it shuts down then switch it on again then it will boot fine! I've tried repairing disk permissions but this has not helped.
Any ideas?? tried ringing apple but they're closed :-(

Hi Guys...
Sorry its taken me a fews day to get back, well as it stands the situation is still the same!
Heres what I've done so far:
reset the PRAM - no joy
reset the SMC - no joy
ran the disk repair in recovery - no joy
repaired disk permissions in recovery - no joy
reinstalled mountain lion - no joy
but I think I've narrowed down the problem from the log console, it would appear that my imac is automactially booting into single-user mode.... see below.
01/08/2012 12:03:00.706 com.apple.launchd[1]: *** launchd[1] has started up in single-user mode. ***
01/08/2012 12:03:00.709 com.apple.launchd[1]: *** Verbose boot, will log to /dev/console. ***

any ideas on how to rectify this would be great please...

Issues after installing Classic on OS 10.4

Background and System
I have a Power Mac G3 350Mhz Rev 2 Blue and White, 512MB, 40GB, DVD ROM
running 10.4.9 installed from Retail DVD. Firmware up to date. 2x 20 GB partitions formatted as Extended
Prior to this issue OS X has been running well.
Issue:
After installing OS 9.2.1 to second partition OS X will now not boot up from DVD nor it's partition
Solutions tried:
I wanted to install a Classic environment so used a Retail OS 9.2.1 Bootable CD and did a full install to the second partition.
After the install finished and the system restarted, set on the OS X (Partition1) for start up the system hangs right after the Apple "Chime". with no signal to video card
Attempted to then boot from OS 10.4 DVD but this does not get detected when holding "c" down for boot up from CD option. This worked perfectly before.
Have run OS 9.2.1 Disk Aid Verify and both partitions are ok. The system will boot from the 9.2.1 CD and partition but anything to do OS X now will not work. I also tried an Ubuntu 6.06 Live CD but this will not now boot either.
Checked firmware and tried to re run firmware update and this advised my firmware was up to date.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

The only thing I can think of is that when you installed the 10.4.9 OS you didn't option to install OS 9 drivers.

Having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1,configuring the SQL interface

I am having issues after installing Essbase V9.3.1 and configuring the SQL interface. we are using UNIX/AIX box for our Essbase server and UDB DB2 9.1 SP6 as our SQL Interface.
When tried to run an ESSCMD script to perform BUILDDIM operation on Essbase application using the load rule (with the SQL interface), got the error as recorded in the application log file and is attached at the bottom and the .odbc.ini file on the server looks as follows.
Can somebody tell me whether .odbc.ini needs any correction or what else should I do to correct the issue and able to work thru using SQL interface? Appreciate any help provided in this regard. Thanks,

I had similar errors when first setting up the SQL interface. Are you on a 64 bit operating system on the essbase server? If so Essbase needs to use the 32 bit odbc driver, not the default 64 bit driver.
The 32 bit driver is still available here SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe <-----This is the 32 bit (Use)
The Administrative tools by default uses system32\odbcad32.exe <----This is the 64 bit (Don't Use)
Once I opened the 32 bit driver interface directly and set it up the errors went away.

Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

Hi All,
I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
Just a thought ...
This may help!
Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
It is worth a try!
All the best.

Issues after installing Mavericks

I am having a ton of issues after installing macericks on wed evening, on my MBP 15" 2.5 GHz i7 with 8GB of memory,
I have a task com.apple.internetaccouts, and com.apple.MailServiceAgent, taking upwards of 100% CPU at time and the fan will go full speed, and earlier today i had a msg come up that i had run out of usable memory and the sytem had paused programs, I have restarted a few times and still the same things are coming up and the system has become really slow.
would think that with this system not being that old, that i should not be having these types of issues, if there is something that someone could lead me to ths casue i thnk you
Thanks
Doug

Had this issue again today on my wife's iMac. This was after the Mail.app update that was recently released. I now have messed with this issue enough that I believe I have figured it out.
I used to have a plugin for Mail called HTTPMail that was used to access Hotmail prior to them having POP/IMAP. It seems that removing the account from Mail left some residual account details in the ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist file. Mavericks Mail.app chokes on this account detail and starts duplicating it numerous times. That's why the Accounts.plist file grows so large.
If you open the Accounts.plist file in a text editor (TextWrangler would be my suggestion), find any <dict> entry that points to services.msn.com in any way and remove all those <dict>...</dict> entries, it should resolve the issue. Warning though - I had to delete hundreds of entries so it took a while to do. Once I finished it though, my wife's e-mail has been working fine.

Update_prebinding issues after installing security-update2009-001-ppc

Hi there,
after installing all required software updates including secupd2009-001ppc and installing safari4beta, safari would no longer start up. It just bounced once in the dock and then crashed. After uninstalling safari4beta using the safari4beta uninstaller which is to restore safari3.2.1 and rebooting, still safari won't startup. So I deleted the app and reinstalled it from the appropriate installer. Now at least this works again.
But upon booting (in verbose mode) I get the message that update_prebinding fails due to too many errors. When I try to do update_prebinding manually on the terminal I get the following error messages:
"$ sudo update_prebinding -root -force -debug
dyld: warning DYLDROOTPATH not used because it contains a non-absolute path
dyld: image not prebound, so could not use prebinding in /usr/bin/updateprebindingcore
update_prebinding: warning: could not load /usr/bin/updateprebindingcore: no suitable image found. Did find:
/usr/bin/updateprebindingcore: not a dylib
dyld: image slid, so could not use prebinding in /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vImage.fr amework/Versions/A/vImage
update_prebinding: warning: could not link /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Application Services: dylib not prebound: /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib
update_prebinding: too many errors (101)
update_prebinding: error: terminating"
The error message is much longer, but I hope this short version will do for analysis.
How can this be fixed? I read that some people encountered the same problem with secupd2008-006 and that Apple promised to fix it. But this was back in October last year.
I also wonder whether this is an issue with the secupdates or with Safari proper.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It's still broken in my system also. I just got the following in Terminal:
$ sudo update_prebinding -force -root /
Password:
update_prebinding: too many errors (101)
update_prebinding: error: terminating
In addition, the explanatory [support page for Tinker Tool System|http://www.bresink.de/osx/193281/issues.html] that I listed earlier hasn't been changed.
I had a feeling this was the case, because when an Apple software update displays "Optimizing System Performance" at the end of an installation, it is actually updating prebinding. This step used to take a few minutes in my system, which is normal, but for the last few months it has been lasting only a few seconds, probably because it has been terminating prematurely with this error.

I am having start up issues after installing lion

after installing lion on my mac mini it is having major start up issues, sometimes it will not start up at all. Is anyone having the same issues?

After I used MIgration Assistant on my new Mac Mini, Lion would have kernel panics shortly after startup every time. I am pretty sure it was some virus software or network filterting software that ran background tasks that was causing the problem.
Can you startup in single user mode or safe mode?

Startup problems after instaling new graphics card drivers

PC: HP p6520 f with a 400 watt power supply
video card: AMD Radeon 6570 (MD1GD3)
After getting the 400 watt power supply, I was able to uninstall the intergrated graphics card's drivers, but I can't succsesfully startup after installing drivers for the new card without a system restore, which of course gets rid of the new drivers.
I've tried newer drivers, but those don't work either.
Any suggestions?

Hello Sev_07. I understand you're unable to install your video card drivers.
Are you receiving an error on boot?
Are you experiencing any issues with other pieces of hardware?
Have you tried running HP Support Assistant and Windows Update to ensure all of the software and drivers are completely up to date?
It may also be helpful for you to provide your product number so I can look at your computer's specifications. This document can show you where this is located.
I hope you have a great day!

Issues after installing Hotfix Rollup 5 for SP3

Hi,
Last weekend we installed Hotfix Rollup Pack 5 for SP3 on our (single) Exchange 2010 Enterprise server.
This was needed to fix the WebApp Light issue with IE11 and to fix the problem where users were unsable to delete mails sent from multifunctionals.
These 2 issues were fixed by installing the hotfix rollup pack, but now our users have different problems...
Some users (not all of them, haven't found a common denominator yet) report that they don't see new mails in their Outlook 2010 box, even though they got the envelope notifier.
When they change folder and back to the Inbox the new mail is suddenly visible.
Same sort of "delay" happens when users mark a message for follow-up or try to change a message from unread to read.
Some users also report that they see delegated mailboxes (mailboxes from other users that they have full mailbox access to) twice in their Outlook 2010.
Outlook 2010 is running in online mode (because it's running on terminal/citrix servers), so it's no issue with caching as far as I understand.
I've already checked if there are any updates for Outlook available, but we've installed them all already.
I though I'd found something:
Noticed a lot of errors in the application log on the Exchange Server which pointed me to this:
http://theintegrity.co.uk/2010/08/mapi-session-exceeded-the-maximum-of-500-objects-of-type-objtfolder/
I've added the registry values now with a value of 1500, but unfortunately this didn't help.
The errors in the eventlog are gone, but even after restarting the IS some users still have these problems.
One user reported that it takes about 7 minutes for a read mail to actually switch to "read" when looking at his inbox.
Did anyone else notice these problems? And maybe have a fix for them?
I really don't want to roll back the update :(
I even rebooted the Exchange Server after installing the rollup even though that wasn't even necessary
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jeroen

Correct - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2925273 discusses this issue.
If you do raise a support case to request this, please ensure that you review and understand the requirements for IU installation and removal.
For example:   You *MUST* manually remove it prior to installing Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6.

CD Driver Issues after installing 11.1.4

After installing Itunes 11.1.4, my HP computer, running Windows 7, could no longer find the CD drive. Upon investigation, someone suggested I update my registry to remove some entries. I did the following:
Start, enter regedit in search bar,
Open regedit
Left hand menus click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CURRENT CONTROL SET
CONTROL
CLASS
Then need to find {4D36E965-E325........... (are more figures but not needed)
on right hand window see if there is an upper filter or lower filter.....right click and delete the values if either are there.
RESTART...
This worked, but now Itunes complains every time I open it, saying some registry settings are missing for my CD drivers. I've used Itunes on this computer succssessfully for years, until this upgrade. Apple, whatever you did, please undo it. Horrible release...

Facetime issue - after installing a new logic board due to liquid damage.

I installed a new logic board this week.. after installing the os x operation system and then upgrading it to mavericks and i used migration assistant to load my backuped user from an external disk.
I tried to log in using my apple id ( which is verified) it couldn't log in beacuse "could not sign in. please check your network connection and try again"
and i did all the updates of mavericks. i tried also before installing mavericks i thougt upgrading will fix it..
i saw on forums that i should add 2 DNS's (8888 and 8844) didn't work.
i tried connection to my phones hotspot - didn't work.
i also went to the firewall thing to allow it recieve cennections..
pleassee help!!
is there a way to reinstall the facetime or something?!?!?!

My problem solved could possiblly be your solution: Check to make sure your system serial number is being read by your logic baord. If the tech forgot to reenter the serial number, it's a known issue for Facetime and Messages (apparantly not know enough yet though, no tech bulliten exists on the topic).
I spent several days trouble shooting my inablility to login to my account with Facetime or Messages (other cloud services worked) after upgrading to Mavericks. I went as far as doing a clean install on my hard drive after spending two hours with a baffled mac tech in a retail store and many hours searching the message boards.
I have never had a logic board (or hard drive) replaced on my Macbook Air, but somehow after the Mavericks update the logic board stopped reading the serial number on my system. It took a call to Apple and a ticket opened to engineering to figure this out (after I uploaded log files).
They were puzzled I experienced this without a logic board replacement, but it was indeed the root cause of the facetime and messages apps failing to log in, and said they'd run in to it recently more than once.
Wish I knew how to post this unbiquitously across all the boards for folks to troubleshoot by simply looking at their system info in the Apple menu; Apple scheduled an appointment for me at an Apple genius bar and it was fixed in fifteen minutes.

Hello,
I'm having problems with my wireless network connections, too. I did a fresh arch install with gnome3 some days ago to avoid any issues when upgrading, but i just can't access any wireless networks now. Everything else works like a charm, though. I followed the usual steps to set up my network/wifi with all the required modules and packages (broadcom-wl from the AUR, etc.) but it doesn't work like it did with gnome2 and xfce4.
My iwconfig/ifconfig output looks like dave1022's. Don't know if this is of any help...
The nm-applet in the gnome3 "panel" actually lists nearby wireless networks, but once I click on one of them, gnome asks me for authentification with my root password (user password does not work). I don't think it should be this way. If I enter my root password here, nothing happens whenever I click on the concerned network to connect to it. I deleted the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<SSID> file to reset the authentification process.
I tried to consult the gnome3 pages in the wiki, but couldn't find any valueable hints either...does anyone have any idea what I might have done wrong or forgotten?
It's exactly the same for me and it's driving me nuts. I'm using iwl3945
[EDIT]
Well... actually installing the applet solved it for me. Is the applet actually needed for Gnome 3 or is a workaround?
