Stuck in restart after tiger installation

my g4 has been stuck in restart for 30 minutes since it finished installing tiger. what do i do?? i cant get it to do anything....

OK, what is this "CheckUpAgent" application? It isn't part of OS X, so I'm guessing you have it as a StartupItem. Tricky
You will need to look in several places to find this and disable it. I am assuming the application has been updated to use launchd, since there is no mention of SystemStarter. So you need to look in four places:
"/System/Library/LaunchAgents"
"/System/Library/LaunchDaemons"
"/Library/LaunchAgents"
"/Library/LaunchDaemons"
If the developer of "CheckUpAgent" has played by the rules, it should be one of the last two. The file you are looking for should be called something like com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent.plist, although they may have left off the "com.app4mac".
Now, to do this we must mount the disk to be writable, so after you have booted and run fsck -fy again, type this carefully !
/sbin/mount -uw /Notice the space before the hyphen and before the '/'. Then we'll look at these directories:
cd /Library/LaunchAgents
ls -lIf you don't see the file there, then
cd /Library/LaunchDaemons
ls -land so on.
When you do find it, then we'll temporarily move it to the top level of your hard disk:
mv com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent.plist /but change the name according to what you find.
Having done that, a
rebootshould allow you to try a normal boot again.
Make a note of any unexpected messages you see. Also if you do find the file write down the complete line from the ls -l command that shows it, since that will also show its ownership and permissions.
Good luck!

Installed latest iOS on my iPad mini, it got stuck while restarting after update. It is still in that stage even after 7 hours.

installed latest iOS on my iPad mini, it got stuck while restarting after update. It is still in that stage even after 7 hours.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Won't restart successfully after Tiger installation --- Help!

Howdy!
I'm finally updating to OS X from 9.2.2. Everything was humming along smoothly with the installation. My computer restarted after installation, but then hung for quite a while on the grey apple screen with the twirlygig at the bottom of the screen, and then, horror of all horrors, a big circle with a slash replaced the apple... and there it stays. I have to manually reboot the machine to get it to restart to either the old 9.2 partition or from the 10.4.3 installation DVD.
From the Tiger DVD, I've verified and repaired the disk and permission (if didn't come up with any errors, but I repaired it anyway).
I've re-installed the OS with all devices except the keyboard unplugged -- nothing changed.
Any ideas?
I'm trying to install it onto a 120 GB Maxtor internal drive that has not given me any problems in the past. The hd is partitioned for a 9 and X OS... I also still have the original 20 GB internal hd installed.
Should I try removing RAM that was added years ago? Or installing it onto the original 20 GB hd? Or will I have to try an Erase and Install? Will this option just erase the partition set up for OS X, or will it erase the entire hard disk?
Thanks for any assistance.

I'm actually unsure if the version of Disk Utility on the Tiger Install disc can do an erase and install on one partition of a partitioned hard drive or if the erase and install wipes the entire HD; I'll have to check into that when I can. There was in the past a known issue where OS X had to be installed on the first partition of a partitioned HD; I believe that's no longer true, but the default at startup for OS X is to look for the OS X System on the first partition (if you hold the 'x' key down at startup to boot into OS X, that's the expected location). If the OS 9 partition is the first partition, that may be throwing the OS X Install restart off. You might check to see if using Startup Manager to select the second partition works. I'd also rename the partition from "OS X" to somethhing else (say "OSTen"), just to be safe.

Mac stuck in restarting after 10.9.4 update

Just downloaded OSX 10.9.4 update. MAC is newish 13" Macbook Pro Retina. Download went fine. Mac screen says "Restarting". Blue diagonal bars not moving. "Wheel" is moving. Been doing this for 3+ hours...
Have to catch a flight in a few hours...
Should I do a hard reset or wait??

I spent the last couple of days replacing the original spinning disk in my late 2011 MacBook Pro to a Samsung EVO 840 SSD. After using Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my disk contents to the SSD, I rebooted and was using my Macbook for a couple of hours. I have 10.9.2 on it. I tried applying the 10.9.4 update earlier today, the screen got stuck at the "Restarting" prompt, though the barber pole progress meter was moving, after an 1.5 hours no progress was shown. I tried rebooting the mac as others have done above but in my case, it bricked the Macbook. I couldn't repair the drive at all. Fortunately I still had my original drive available and I am now re-cloning it a second time.
Be warned. YMMV if you reboot a Macbook in the middle of an update. I will not be updating to 10.9.4 once it re-clones. I haven't had any issues with 10.9.2., and with all the other threads I've seen with people having issues with 10.9.3 and newer, it doesn't make sense in my case.

IPad stuck in restarting after restore

Hello!
After unsuccessfully updating the software of the iPad, i've done a hard reset on the iPad. It asked me to plug into iTunes for iPad to be restored. The restoration went perfectly, however, when it tried to restart, i'm stuck with the apple logo and a progress bar that doesn't fill. I've tried the hard reset and went thorugh the same process a couple of times. It still would not work! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Shaun.

Solved by using another cable.
*Do note that the original cable syncs perfectly with the iPad and the iPhone just today!

Iphoto wont start after tiger installation

I istalled Tiger a while ago but iphot never worked properly in that the application doesn't start. the "hour glass" keeps rotating. i tried to re-install but that didn't work either.. Any suggestions before i take it to apple? Its a MacBook. Thanks

You should be able to Software Update and that will bring your iPhoto up to date.
iPhoto was 9.2.3 at 10.6.8, so I don't know why yours was stuck at 8.1.2
However you can stick the #2 10.6 disk into your machine and should be able to run the bundled app installer.
If that doesn't work there is Pacifist from CharlesSoft that you can extract iPhoto and replace your corrupted one, then run Software Update to bring it current.
Once you have replaced iPhoto, rebuild the database

IPhoto 04 and iMovie 04 missing after tiger installation

hi guys, hope anybody can help me.
got my hands finally on mac os x tiger, so formated my hard disk and installed it. afterwards I tried to reinstall iLife 04 by using the recovery dvds for mac os x panther, which were delivered together with my powerbook 15", 1,33 Ghz.
installation went fine as I could see (chose the complete install) but after finishing it, iphoto and imovie are missing now. idvd and all other included stuff was installed completely. I tried to install it again but the installation programm tells me that there are no further packages to install left on the dvds.
if i search for iphoto or imovie with spotlight, it only finds some automator skrips but not the complete programmes. I also checked the dvds for the install packages to install it manually but couldn´t find anything.
so...any ideas how i can restore iphoto and imovie on my system? don´t wanna reinstall everything completely

Try using Pacifist to locate them on the restore disks and extract and install.

Remove quiet from the kernel command line so that you get as much information as possible.
You only have the one partition for Arch, right? The fstab is complete?
Look in /etc/default/grub and select the most basic, debugging-friendly options you can. E.g. make sure recovery entries are enabled etc.

Net access mess after Tiger installation

Could somebody please help me with some advice on how to deal with what upgrading to Tiger has done to my internet access?
I have a G4 800 Mhz i-mac, and was on OSX 10.2.8. before my upgrade, using Safari, and increasingly Firefox, to get on the net through a broadband provider, and Mail for my emails.
Ten days ago I installed Tiger, putting it on a separate, and empty, partition of my HD as if it were a basic instal, and when the option appeared to transfer my applications, settings and folders from the partition with 10.2.8, I clicked to transfer. The transfer was done, and the result has worked fine in every respect except access to the net.
Mail access has not been affected. But with both Safari and Firefox I find that while sometimes they work just as fast as before in accessing websites and their pages, at other times they are impossibly slow, or act as if I had no connection to the web at all, and on occasions even show a message saying connection lost - even though at the same time Mail works as normal for both sending and receiving messages. I’ve talked to my broadband provider tech support, and they say the fault has to be with my browsers, but I can’t find it and so cure it.
The only change I made in my Applications after installing Tiger was to download Skype. Could this have have anything to do with why my net access through Safari (now 2.04) and Firefox (now 1.5.0.7) has turned erratic? If not, what could be the answer, and what the cure?
I would be most grateful for any advice and help offered.

If something is in there try erasing them.

How to check remotely that a PC has been restarted after Labview Runtime 2011 has been installed on it?

Hello,
I am deploying a Labview 2011 application on 150 XP-machines in various plants worldwide. Currently all machines still have an old Labview 8.21 runtime (+old DAQmx). I have sent a procedure to my colleagues in the plants so that they install the new runtime (+ new DAQmx). On my side I have built a code to check from my Pc if a certain registry key is present on the 150 PCs which tells me that the new installer ran or not.
The key that I found is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\1C5E801AE54C4AE43A59FC169F95CA28]
"ProductName"="NI-DAQmx MAX Configuration Support 9.3.5"
"PackageCode"="61EEAEC207A28A842B3341ED6809453D"
"Language"=dword:00000009
"Version"=dword:0923c001
"Assignment"=dword:00000001
"AdvertiseFlags"=dword:00000184
"InstanceType"=dword:00000000
"AuthorizedLUAApp"=dword:00000000
"Clients"=hex(7):3a,00,00,00,00,00
This works well but it does not tell me that the PC has restarted after the installer has been run. If I do not restart the PC and try to execute my Labview 2011 executable I get a long error message (NIDAQmx not registered,...).
As it seems difficult to get the properties of a key to know when it was installed I was rather leaning towards checking if a certain DLL (?) has been registered or not. But it is just a vague idea and I do not know how to put that in place.
I am attaching the current code that I have and that works well but cannot make the difference between Labview 2011 runtime installed and PC restarted or not.
Thanks for the help
Christophe

You might look for a file that would be created as part of installation to determine the install date/time (ini or other support file created as part of runtime install)
Combine that with a query of the station's uptime and you could calculate if the station has been up longer than the time since the install. Not perfect, but should be possible...

MacBook Air stuck in grey screen after ML installation

Hi everybody,
I have downloaded and installed Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air (2011). After the installation the computer restarted and stuck in the grey loading screen, showing the apple logo and the turning wheel. I've left it alone for hours but nothing happens. This is still the case and I cannot find a way out.
Here is what I have tried so far:
- Reload and reinstall ML via recovery mode (twice). Recovery mode shows me that 10.8 is installed, by the way
- Restart without peripherals connected
- Reset PRAM and NVRAM
- Disconnect all cables and let the computer rest
- Diagnose and repair hard drive (showed me a message that a Java-related group has a value of 80 but should be 0. Repair was "successful")
- Safe boot (A bar appears in loading screen but disappears after it is about halfway full and I'm back in grey screen)
Unfortunately none of this worked. I have a Time Machine backup but it is located at the other end of the country (long story) and I can't access it easily.
Do you guys have any more ideas what else I could try? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue. My MacBook air is stuck on the grey screen with the apple logo. I've waited for hours. Has anyone found a resolution to this issue?

I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.

ML keeps restarting after installation! HELP!

I have installed ML and after the installation, it keeps restarting itself. Sometimes it will make it to the desktop and other times will just restart when at grey screen. I have rebooted to disk utility using CMD+R and verified and repaired permission and it still did not help the problem. Now I have booted in safe mode, and it says my software is 10.8 (ML). The update does not show up in my app store, what is the next step to reinstalling ML or any other ideas

So under the four options it gives me, pick the reinstall OS X option? Also, could you explain the Archive part in more detail as I have never had to do anything like this before. Thanks

Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...
