Sound like your disk drive died.
Start in BIOS setup and see if the bios thinks it has a disk.  If so then you might be able to recover the OS by starting from the OS installation cd/dvd that came with the system.

  • System crash after 10.8.4 update

    Hi all, i am using a Mac Mini (mid 2011) with mountain lion. i am having problem with it after the recent 10.8.4 update and now i am pretty much stuck and cant even log in.
    1. the 10.8.4 update
    i have a mac air as well and i did update for both using the same network in the office, both failed as i still see the 10.8.4 update in my App Store. i downloaded the combo update and it worked fine with my mac air. but ever since the update incident, my mac mini had been behaving weirdly and is very very slow.
    2. what is wrong
    -initially i could still go the the page that allows me to enter my password, but the moment i logged in, there would be a grey spinning icon thingy that wouldnt go away and i cant do anything
    -subsequently i can do anything, i cant even log into safe mode, just show the grey screen with apple logo and my cursor
    3. troubleshoot
    -i have tried the apple hardware test, said all hardware ok
    -used recovery HD to try to fix disk permission, there's a file that cant be repaird but it is one of those error message that can be ignored according to apple
    -reset PRAM (the option command p r combo)
    - tried reinstalling OS X from the recovery HD, but the download also hang at the final portion of the progress bar, at the very last bit, from '0 seconds remaining', it jumped to '5 hours' and hasnt move since (i tried this multiple times, always the same problem). i have also checked my internet connection using my other mac, it was ok
    - i have more than 80% free space in my hdd
    Prior to this episode i have not added any new software to the mac mini, am really running out of idea of what could be causing the problem. as compared to when i first got it, the login is a bit slow, but i thought that's pretty normal when i start filling up the hdd.

    You'll have to do whatever you were planning to do if the machine needed service.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • IMovie has frozen up on me. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the apps- no help. I can play some of the files- but I can't get into the libraries.Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a few minutes. What can I do?

    I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
    Thanks for any advice you can offer!

    I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

  • My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything!

    My iPhoto keeps crashing after installing the latest update, can't do anything! It used to crash when importing but now I'm at the point where I open the software and after 2 seconds it crashes (nothing connected either). What to do? Can't access any photos

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create a new library and import some test photos then the problem lies with your original library. 
    If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If iPhoto crashes while trying to create a new library then try this:
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that fails to help a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all relavant updaters.
    P.S.  If you're still running Tiger, 10.4.6, then the above may not apply.  If you're running a newer system you should update your profile so we have a better idea of where you're at.

  • Photoshop CS2 crashes after Colormunki (X-Rite) update 1.1.1

    I have resolved this issue through the x-rite tech support (who called me back within 4 hours) but since I posted it on a different thread I wanted to share my experience.
    I am using cs2 with snow leopard (10.6.1) on a mac book pro 2,2 and immeditately after updating to colormunki photo 1.1.1, cs2 began crashing after "save as" and not saving with "too many windows open" messages.  It was also not able to save to preferences even if no image was opened.  Right after installing the update, I received a message that cs2 would have to be reinstalled, but I wasn't been able to get that message back.  I did actually reinstall cs2, but the problem persisted.  X-rite tech support told me to repair permissions and the problem has gone away.

    CS2 is not supported in 10.6.x If you had it running at some point you were lucky. Keep in mind you are running in Rosetta since CS2 is not Intel native. Do yourself a favor and get CS4

  • Crashing after 9.1.1 Update

    iphoto has crashed on me twice since 9.1.1 update. Hadn't experienced any issues with it before 9.1.1 update ( well , apart from being a bit slow when moving between images after edit, but no crashes). Both times crashed after adjusting Canon raw images, which wasn't a problem before update. Using 2010 core i5 iMac.
    Anyone else experiencing crashes after 9.1.1 update ?

    After not having any issues at first.. my 9.1.1 iphoto is now crashing after 10-15 seconds when starting up. From the crash log I can see its the face detection thread thats dying.. I'd be happy to disable it to be able to access my library again.. but can't find anything online on how to do that.
    I tried using library manager.. to create a new library.. which worked fine at first.. until it presumable got to the same photo/face detection place and now that crashes just the same as before the whole rebuild exercise..
    I can't see from crash log which file its processing.. any ideas how I could tell that ? Adding files one by one is not an option ( there are many thousands )

  • System crash after unhandled exception during pending A/D conversion

    Anybody experienced similar phenomena and/or has a fix ?:
    I'm using the DAQ components (6.0) for ActiveX (subset delivered with the NI-DAQ driver-CD) from VB 6.0 (SP6) to control measurements with a 6040/6070 E-series card.
    The application starts a delayed (with CWpulse) A/D conversion and waits for the "acquired data" event. In the meantime, several other application-handled events can happen (mouse, kbd, timer, network link).
    We have a watchdog application which monitores the main application, but...:
    If there occurs an unhandled exception while the A/D conversion is pending, the system crashes after the "serious error..." message / error reporting of the O/S is confirmed - both on Win2000 and XP (SP1a). One can here the HDD retract and the (mostly) reboot. Two times, the system locked up so bad, it won't even restart until a complete power-cycle - of course at the customer's site... :-(
    That kind of behaviour is reproduceable when I force an exception (e.g. div-by-zero) after the CWAI component was started.
    I tried that on systems with NIDAQ 6.9.3 and also with 7.1, but both give me no chance to return to the O/S after the application failure.
    Does anybody know about the reason for such unfriendly behaviour or can help me to solve that problem?
    Any help will be much appreceated!

    While DAQmx is not officially supported through Visual Basic 6.0, it can be done. I am not a VB6 user and haven't tried it, but you can look at the following Knowledge Base explaining how to accomplish this. You can also look at the following MSDN article explaining how to access DLLs and the Windows API through VB. Essentially you end up making DLL calls as you normally would through VB using the DAQmx C API. I hope this helps.

  • Application Manager keeps crashing after I try and sign in on mac osx 10.8.3

    Application Manager keeps crashing after I try and sign in on mac osx 10.8.3

    David it sounds like you are having multiple difficulties with your current installation.  My best advice at this point would be to run the uninstallers in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will want to follow up with using the CS Cleaner tool to ensure complete removal.  You can find details on the use of the CS Cleaner tool at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

    iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

    We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

    Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

    Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

      Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
    To manually associate a file format with an application:
    In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
    Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
    In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
    Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
    Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.
