System error after installing 10.4.6 Update and J2SE 5.0 Release 4

Hi,
I just installed OS X 10.4.6 update and J2SE 5.o Release 4 and the system doesn't start any more. I get a black screen which says:
[date] [my computer name] getty:/dev/console: Operation not supported by device
Any suggestions?
I will try to start from CD (when I am home later), but first I need to eject the DVD, which is still in the drive. How to do this when the system does not start?
Thanks,
Ulrike

Hi Ulrike,
I will try to start from CD (when I am home later),
but first I need to eject the DVD, which is still in
the drive. How to do this when the system does not
start?
All CD/DVD drives that come installed in a Mac should allow you to eject the CD/DVD tray. Check your owner's manual--the instructions on how to eject the tray are usually given there. For example, on some PowerBook models you had to gently insert a paper clip into one side of the loading slot and push. On the DVD drive in my PowerMac there is a small hole through which I can instert a paper clip.
As for what is causing your problems, I don't know. From what I've gathered, however, installing the combo update (~140 megs) is more reliable than the incremental one (~60 megs). Booting from an external drive helps, too. You might try that.

  • Login status Error after install of new security update on 3-11-15

    I am having this issue only after I installed the latest Security update. Now I am unable to install the iMovie update, or log into the app store.

    As Patrick says Apple having server issues since early AM at least.
    As I posted else where…
    Hey everyone with Apple problems right now…
    Apple is having server problems affecting App Store, iTunes, iCloud, etc…
    Check the Apple Service Status(***) page… http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    Wait for all systems green. This is always a good idea if you have problems with anything Apple.
    Here is what Apple message says…
    Multiple Store Services - All users are affected
      Customers may be unable to make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store.
    iCloud Mail - All users were affected
      Users may have been unable to access iCloud mail.
    iCloud Account & Sign In - All users were affected
      Users may have been unable to sign in.
    This means no downloads, updates, iCloud and other issues. You may get pop-up windows asking you for password for iCloud, etc…
    Wait, try again after all go to go on *** page.
    Hope this helps, Greg

  • Stuck at Optimizing System Performance after installing Security Patch

    24" iMac seems to be stuck at "Optimizing System Performance" after installing the latest Security Update. Software Update won't quit. Nervous to force the computer to shutdown during that process. It's working fine at the moment other than that the Software Update box won't go away.
    What do you think?

    Well kind of answered my own question. Tried to run Activity Monitor which only started halfway and then crashed. I remembered the whole computer is backed up to an external drive everyday so I figured if it won't start at least I can start up from the external drive.
    Forced the shutdown by holding the power button. Started up w/o a hiccup; ran Repair Permissions which checked out and the Verify the Disk with First Aid which also checked out fine.
    So I guess it's ok though I may unplug that external for a day or two.

  • 802.1x Auth Error After Installing AirPort Update 2007-002 and 10.4.9

    After installing the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002 (and 10.4.9, but I doubt that update did it), I am unable to log into my campus's wireless network. I get the message "802.1x Authentication has failed. (Error: 1001 on port en1)"
    I've double-checked the settings, and all looks good. Other Macs are able to log in fine but they do not have this update applied.
    Other wireless connections from this computer work fine, including using another SSID on this wireless network using WPA/TKIP. Only the 802.1x auth is failing.
    I'm a systems admin for the college, and I can see in the radius logs that an error is generated:
    "Unexpected error. Possible error in server or client configuration."
    I'm the only one getting this error. Anyone have any ideas about this?
    Thanks in advance.
    truk

    I finally discovered what was going on. When doing either the 10.4.9 update or the Airport update, my /System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors file was either corrupted or completely emptied. The file did remain with 0K size.
    I started noticing that all SSL connections from the computer were failing (Safari, iChat, whatever) that depended on the Mac OS X components to do the SSL validation. (Firefox continued to work fine, as it has its own SSL stack.) I then ran the Keychain file check in Keychain, which alerted me to the exact file problem.
    My wife also has a MacBook with the same version of Mac OS X, so I was able to copy her X509Anchors file to my computer and everything worked perfectly after that. SSL came back, iChat works, Safari works with SSL, and 802.1x works again.
    Hope that helps someone else...

  • HP4501e "print spooler off" error after installing printer update

    Motorola Android OS, getting "print spooler off" error after installing printer update... have rebooted both printer and phone to no avail... any help ideas?

    Loralee,
    ??  I am sorry the computer is not working.  I don't work for HP and cannot comment on lawsuits or other calamities.
    If the notebook worked prior to an update -- and this is an entirely different can of worms and problems -- and you think that there is any chance the notebook is just in some sort of "tangled" state and not completely hosed for some reason, you can try the following non-lethal device reset:
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR  Create a restore point Win8
    If you are using a Notebook:
    Close all your programs and shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
    Boot the computer and log in
    Reminder:  Hard Reset is just a device Reset.  The procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way.  This type of reset "clears the cobwebs". Depending on the root cause of the problem, this procedure can fix a variety of computer glitches.
    This does not fix severe Operating System errors -- it is just a device reset.  It can fix minor problems that updates sometimes cause.

  • JDBC Driver errors after installing Security Update 04-2007

    After installing the latest security update for 10.4.9, My JDBC driver is no longer working. I'm running PHP & Mysql as a localhost for dev and I know that both are running but are not speaking to each other. I use SQL4X Manager to manage my DB and that can't access MySql. I have the same set up at work with out the security update installed and everything is working great which let me to believe that the security update muck'd something up. Anyone else have the same problem?

  • Problems shutting down after installing 10.5.3 update?

    Has anyone had any problems shutting down there IMac's after installing 10.5.3 update? I've tried shutting down twice and the image that appears when shutting down seems to go in an endless loop an doesn't shut down.

    Can you restart from the menu and hold the shift key down, until the Mac
    boots in a SafeBoot login screen; then choose Disk Utility (shortcut under
    GO in Finder window, to Utilities folder) and run 'repair disk permissions'
    then restart the computer normally...(?)
    You may also have to consider starting the computer from the OS X
    installer disc and choose from an option menu there (not to install)
    and choose to use Disk Utility from the booted installer disc, to run
    'repair disk' from there? You could also run 'repair disk permissions'
    while booted from that installer disc, but maybe you'd still have to
    repair those from the running system for best effect once it is back
    running from the hard drive's system.
    Some minor issues can happen after an update, usually just repairing
    disk permissions before installing the update, and/or running up in
    SafeBoot, can help. There are other things to try and do, if these don't
    help that much. The state of the system prior to an update is important;
    since an update can't fix anything otherwise non-related to an update.
    Maintenance issues aside, after you repair disk permissions, safeboot,
    and restart, if there still is an issue, you could try to download the Combo
    OSX 10.5.3 update file and install it over your system; and then repair
    disk permissions again after it finally restarts normally.
    Was the 10.5.3 update a smaller (delta) file or was it the Combo (large) file?
    Good luck & happy computing!
