Stuck on setup for OS X mavericks

I downloaded OS X Mavericks and during setup it would not take my password. S I clicked on forgot and now I am stuck with a white box with a never ending spinner. I cannot shut down nor restart. I can't even exit out of setup, please help

Hello SMH419,
It sounds like your Mac is unresponsive at the setup screen after having installed OS X 10.9. I was thinking that you may need to manually shutdown the computer and then try again.
Hold down the power button
Force your Mac to shut down

  • Office 2013 RMS Client Configuration - Your Machine is not setup for IRM

    Hi All,
    I have successfully setup a test AD RMS farm but stuck at trying to configure Office 2013 to work with this. The farm configuration is as below
    DC: Windows 2003 
    AD RMS Server: Windows 2008/ SQL Server 2008 R2
    Client: Windows 7 64 bit with Office 2013 32 bit, Domain Joined
    Client is domain joined and SCP has been successfully registered ( I can see the SCP in AD RMS properties).
    When I open word and select Protect Document -> Restrict Access, the only option is to Connect to RMS Server and get template, which eventually gives an error
    Your Machine isn't setup for Information Rights Management (IRM). To set up IRM, sign in to office, open an existing IRM protected message or document, or contact your help desk.
    Surprisingly, when I open a document protected by IRM (from a different machine), IRM is automatically configured for the user and starts working from that point. However any new domain user login into this client faces the same issue.
    Can anyone help identify the required registry keys that need to be present for getting this working on the client.
    Thanks for your help

  • Went through setup for DVD PRO still not working

    So I have done what are the protocalls that are appropriate for DVD PRO and the problem now is that I cannot drag my compressor file into DVD PRO.
    It just bounces back to Finder or where ever else I find it. I give up don't know what to do now I am stuck. Thanks for everyones help. Also I still get the
    incompatible format pop up-I am totally against a wall-do not know what to do at all.

    I captured from mini-dv tape so I used dv 48khz or dv ntsc for my setup codec. I used send to in FCP to compressor. I used best quality DVD 90 minutes in Compressor. I am working with NTSC. I imported my compressed project clicking on asset. When I did this I get a box that pops up and says incompatible format.
    Problem is I have no idea how to get a compatible format or what they are talking about since I followed the
    correct protocol or at least it seemed correct to me. I know it is something I am missing-I just do not have the
    knowledge to trouble shoot this particular problem. So that is where it stands of this moment.

    My Sony BDV-n9200wl is stuck on setup screen? I can't do anything with it? It is like it has frozen. A message does come up about updated software available and to update it but I can't cause I can't get passed the setup screen! I have hardly used it, may 6 times at most! I was told to try changing the batteries in my remote but this made no difference

    Hello Kerry-h, thank you for your message. Welcome to SONY Community!
    The home theater system (HTS) will stop responding duing the system software (firmware) update if the BD/DVD function was not set before starting the update. Follow these steps if the HTS has stopped responding after trying to perform a system software (firmware) update using the Network update feature.
    Unplug the HTS from AC power. Plug it back in and turn it on.

  • Streams Help - Stuck in PAUSED FOR FLOW CONTROL

    Hi All,
    I am brand new to Streams and i'm trying to configure streams between two db's on different machines on the same network. Initially i was getting errors trying to connect to the remote database during Propagation(ORA-02019 connection description for remote database not found ). I think this was due to my db link being created incorrectly. I recreated my db link and i'm no longer getting those messages.
    Now everything on my Source db looks like it's running except the Capture state is stuck in PAUSED FOR FLOW CONTROL and nothing is being propagated. The propagation process is enabled and i can see it in the dba_jobs views. I have never gotten this working yet.
    Does anyone have general troublshooting tips for this. I have found detailed instructions on how to setup the stream but not much on how to troubleshoot.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
    null

    This error was due to a 'bad' database link. I'm still not positive why the link was bad but i recreated my db link and tested. After i confirmed it was active I re-setup my capture and propagation processes and all is good now.
    thanks, dave

  • Application stuck at "Waiting for Upload"

    When submitting my application yesterday, I tried to use the web based upload link and the checkbox would never appear for the application binary in the itunesconnect portal. No error message was displayed after the actual upload. The page displatyed 0.9 of 0.9 with an x next to it which just deleted the upload. If I tried to submit as is, the page told me I had to submit a binary, arrgh, which I tried repeatedly.
    I then tried to use the "ApplicationLoader" tool. It said the upload was successful but the application is stuck at "Waiting for Upload" status. Anyone else in the same boat? I am using a wildcard appid as the setup suggests. I have checked a couple of other threads mentioning this and how people fixed this. I tried what was in those threads, I am using a wildcard app id.

    Same problem here. Uploaded through the ApplicationLoader last night and its still showing "Waiting for upload" on itunesconnect. This is my second app and I didn't have this problem with the first one - the status was updated to "In review" within a few minutes.
    One thing I noticed is that ApplicationLoader itself was acting strangely. On my first app upload, the progress bar chunked along nicely as it was uploading. On my second app upload, the progress bar stayed at zero while the time remaining count quickly counted up to around sixty minutes, then the progress bar went to full and said the app was uploaded.
    Anyone else experiencing this or having successful uploads in the past 24 hours?
    My app is in "Pending Contract" status since last night. Its moving along. I noticed the same thing at darrensi noticed. However, when the ApplicationLoader delayed, it occurred right before my app was accepted.

  • Sync stuck on "waiting for items to copy"

    When using iTunes running on a Mac to sync to iPads, the sync becomes stuck on "waiting for items to copy."
    We are running iTunes 11.1.5 on a MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.  We have three iPads -- iPad 2 + cellular, iPad (4th generation) + cellular, iPad Mini + cellular -- all of which are running iOS 7.1.1.  We have had this problem with all three devices since upgrade to iOS 7.x.  The iPad 2 was upgraded from iOS 6.x several months after the other two were upgraded, and did not have this problem until the upgrade.
    When attempting to sync, the sync generally becomes stuck on the last step, "waiting for items to copy."  Usually there are few items -- an album or movie here, a play list there, occasionally an app -- that will not sync.  Sometimes they used to be on the iPad in question, but during the sync they disappear.  Other times I am trying to add them to the iPad.  In both cases, after the "waiting for items to copy" disappears (because the sync stops unfinished or because I just cancel the sync), iTunes thinks the items are on the iPad, but they are not.
    Previously, the sync would be stuck on "waiting" for anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours.  Occasionally, it then has copied the items.  But more and more, it doesn't copy them.
    Most likely related to this, the "other" category of data stored on the iPads is usually suspiciously high.
    Occasionally, one of the following methods will temporarily solve the problem:
    Rebooting the iPad.
    Rebooting iTunes.
    Rebooting both the iPad and iTunes.
    Rebooting the iPad, iTunes, and the MacBook.
    Selecting "Restore iPad ..." on the iTunes menu.
    Selecting "Restore from backup" on the iTunes menu.
    Combining option 5 or 6 with rebooting iTunes and/or the MacBook.
    But usually, none of these methods will do anything but waste an inordinate amount of time.  Updating (when an option) to the latest version of iOS 7.x hasn't made a difference.
    As you can see, I've tried several options.  I've scanned a large number of the related threads here and elsewhere, but to no avail.
    Any ideas?
    thanks in advance ...

    Hi maasailand giraffe,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    First of all, thanks for the detailed notes of the troubleshooting steps you've already tried.  It's hard to pinpoint exactly what is going on in your specific case, but I do have a few more ideas for you to try.
    Starting with just one of your iPads, when you get stuck on the "waiting for items to copy" step, just disconnect your iPhone.  There are probably some orphaned or corrupt files that need to be addressed.  I would suggest closing all of your open apps and then backing your iPad up to iCloud.  Then review the articles below to move or delete any big files on your device.  These can include Voice Memos (iPhone), music, photos on your camera roll, photos or videos that are attached to your Messages, email attachments, etc.

  • HT4557 whats the best itunes/appleID setup for family of 3 with 3 ipads, 3 iphones, one PC with all music on.  if we use 3 separate ones how do we share purchased and home content?

    been with apple for years.  one itunes/appleID in use for family - all purchases and downloads on the one account..
    now got 3 ipads, 3 iphones and when we update the software, we seem to get text/facetime issues due to multiple email addresses and phone numbers for the different devices that each individual uses.  For example, I send a text and it appears to have come from my wife or son to the recipient.  Not good !
    there seems to be direction from apple that each of us should use our own apple id, thogh how do I link the accounts so enable family sharing of music/media we have purchased etc - Id also like to be able to review and keep a private eye on what my son downloads as he is 11 yrs old ! I manage this currently as we allow him access to the password for itunes (as we all use the same id today)
    Am i better setting up accounts for my wife and son independent of my own, or not. Each of us would like access to the family content we have and the master library of synced content.  I just want the most simplistic approach that apple, or others would recommend. 
    Is there a better or optimum setup for a family as we cannot be alone.....

    Thanks for the help, but a follow up question now.
    My iPhone won't arrive for a little while, but my wife already got hers and she wants to set it up now. Using my Apple ID for the purchases, if she starts setting hers up, can she change her iCloud ID to something else quickly? It keeps telling us that we have to sign in with the AppleID first.
    Should we just set up an iCloud account via normal internet before trying all this via iPhone?

  • What is icloud setup for Multiple users, multiple devices in family?

    What would be the recommended setup for iCloud to allow family members with multiple devices and multiple iTune accounts to share purchases, sync there own mail account, contacts, and reminders with multiple devices, and be able to sync calenders with all family calendars? Or better yet how can family members pick and choose what to sync with a common iCloud account?

    I'd like to know this to.
    We have 1 mac mini that serves as a media station that streams audio to Zeppelin air and photos & movies to our TV.
    My wife buys music on her iPhone. And takes pictures of the family.
    I buy apps and music on my iPad. And make movies of the family.
    I have a macbook pro ( itunes with home sharing,  iphoto home sharing ).
    She has a nice macbook (  itunes with home sharing, iphoto home sharing ).
    What we would want is that the mac mini collects all music / videos / media and streams it to all our apple devices via wifi ( not via internet ). But I with my appleID and she with her appleID.
    I wonder is Apple can make an GUInterface that I can understand to solve this.
    This iCloud seems not too suited.
    For families it would be easier if iOS5 would have 'home sharing' with upload and not transfer everything to CA first.

  • VPN Client and Setup for RV042

    Is there a definitive setup for a small VPN using the RV042?
    Situation is 2 remote users wish to get access to a non server (W7P) pc to access files.
    The end point doesn't have a static IP but I've put in a DYNDNS.org so it reports back the IP and I can access the router at least from outside.
    I can setup VPN users but is there more to do?
    Wish to use QVPN client or advise alternative.
    Appreciate all input.
    Thanks
    Bruce

    Bruce,
    QuickVPN normally works well for what you wish to do. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is ON in Windows 7 and Windows Vista clients. Turn off all antivirus and third party firewall software as well at least until you have verified that you have a successful connection. It is very easy to set up, just create a username and password in the router. If you run into trouble, post here or call your local Small Business Support Center:

  • ICloud setup for Family to only share Apps

    Okay, so I've tried reading through several different articles to figure this out but I'm not getting anywhere so I'm hoping there's somewhere here with a similiar setup that can just give the basic setup. So here's what I want to do, I want to be able to setup icloud on each of my families devices so they are backed up into their own accounts but I also want to make sure that App's are shared across the devices. Here's the setup that I have:
    1. For Myself I have an iPhone and a iMac
    2. My wife has an iPhone and a Macbook
    3. My son has a iPad
    Now right now everyone is linked up to my Apple ID since that's the account in which all the Apps are purchased and the billing information is linked up to. I want to setup each device with an icloud account as well so our informaiton can be backed up but I don't want information crossed over between devices (for example I don't want all the contacts from my wife's phone on my phone nor do I want our messages sharted on my son's iPad). I'm not sure on how I can go about this since right now each device is hooked up to my Apple ID (so we can use the Find my iPhone app as well for each device) so I don't know if I create a separate account for everyone if that will still work or if I need to know each login and password. I also want to setup a icloud e-mail account that I can use for the iMac and my iPhone only, and the same setup for my wife and her Macbook. Any help would be great, thanks.

    To avoid sharing and merging your iCloud data, you will need to put each person's devices on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID.  You can continue to all share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.
    Creating separate accounts will keep everyone's iCloud data separated, and give each person's devices their own 5GB of free storage for their device backups, and a separate iCloud email account/address.  However, Find My iPhone (iPad, iPod, Mac) is tied to the iCloud ID so they cannot be tracked together on the same map.  You will have to sign into each iCloud account separately (on icloud.com or the Find My iPhone app) in order to locate devices using that iCloud ID.
