System start up failure

Hoping a tech Whiz can solve my Xmas blues.
Mac boots up but about 1min into boot up the system powers off. I have tried all of the reset and restart options in the manual to no avail. I have used the utility disk but it returns an error after 30secs of fixing the hard drive.
Prior to the problem I had just upgraded to iLife8 (yes I know I'm slow!). I was transfering a file into iMovie that I had ripped using Handbrake. I had to Force quit iMovie and after that the machine wouldn't restart.
My local apple shop has replaced the power supply but no joy, next option is to replace the logic board (500 quid!).
Any sage-like advice out there.
Happy Christmas
Mike

Welcome to Discussions - your local Apple shop is probably right and your logic board needs replacing. However, have you tried booting from an external drive?
If you can boot from your install drive, you might want to try an Archive and Install and see if the clears things up.
Let us know how you make out,

HP 620 -System start-up failure after hibernation due to low battery

Morning,
My Laptop is a HP 620. Well, a fortnight ago, i was opening a large pdf file on my pc. Unfortunately my battery was low. It prompted me of this but just before i could plug in the charger, it began the hibernation process. I charged it and later tried to start it up-it couldn't start up. I tried this severally but it couldn't start-up.
Every time it passed the stage where the CMD cursor blinks thrice before it initiates windows, the screen always remains on but doesn't load any windows files and continues running without booting up.
I have done all the checks ranging from start-up to memeory diagnostics-apparently everything is fine(passed all the tests). I am stranded. Can someone advice me please?

Hi @Danesil_Rasheed,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you cannot get your HP 620 Notebook PC to boot up. Your notebook is a Business computer and you would get the best answer to your questions on the Commercial forum. You can post your questions here at the HP Enterprise Business Community.
In the meantime, here is the HP 620 Notebook PC support page, that may have a solution for you. You could also try HP PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer to a point before this issue started.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Take care and have a great day!

Nokia E61 system error, phone start-up failure

Good day I did a software update(RM89) on my E61 phone. After completion and start up my phone gave me a system error and then phone start up failure. How can i reset or go in to safe mode to rective to problem?

The only things you can try are:
1) Read this post in the Pool of Knowledge:
Recovering from a failed update
and 2) Take your phone into a Nokia Care Point. Note that if your phone is still in the warranty period and it got bricked as a result of using NSU, the repair is covered under the warranty.

[SOLVED] Systemd - console-kit-log-system-start.service FAILED

Hi!
i'm using systemd, and i removed initscripts and sysvinit.
I've now noticed this error, it seems that service failed to load.
By the way, i can systemctl restart it, and then it will be active and running. So, where is the problem? I found this, that seems to be my same problem, but it is 2 years old! https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632714 .
Any idea?
thanks!

Looking into the issue, i can't find a solution...
so, here there are :
systemctl status console-kit-log-system-start.service
console-kit-log-system-start.service - Console System Startup Logging

Jul 03 09:34:45 arch systemd[1]: Unit console-kit-log-system-start.service entered failed state.
Any idea?
EDIT:as i said, i can restart it, without any sort of problem, so i guess the issue is related to the deps of this service (After=...). I left it untouched, never modified this service...

Mac Pro Start up Failures: Fix

My Mac Pro 1.1 under OSX 10.7.5 just suffered from multiple start-up failures.
It would load it's system...the "loading clock" spun a while and then go to black. I still had cursor control and CD tray function.
I ran the system install disk, started a hardware diagnostic...and it repeatedly froze.
I thought I was fried......but without doing a hardware diagnostic...the system install disk could report all my components and memory.
I zapped the PRAM and still no joy. I finally checked the PRAM Battery..the CR2032 which had never been changed in 7 years.
I found another one in an Apple Remote I never use...swapped it out..and everything worked fine.
I've read that in some machines, a bad PRAM battery will cause a black screen.
Guess that's what I had.
If you have any startup issues, system loads and screen goes black...trying swapping the PRAM Battery.
Sounds easy. Took me about 3 hours and repeat startup failures to figure it out.
Are there any apps that check the PRAM Batterty to know they are starting to go bad?

Quick update: Had several more "freezes/crashes" after changing PRam battery.
Tracked it down to the Display Screen Saver.
When it launched into screen saver, it would freeze after a very short time.
I disabled the screensaver and adjusted my energy savings setting to just a few minites so know when i time sout...it goes to black.
It comes on with a mouse click with no problem.
Hopes it lasts.
I ran diagnostics on the video card/memory and it passed with no problems.
Something has corrupted my system which had been stable for quite a while.

Have you tried by executing script mssupgsps.sql ,which you can find under D:\usr\sap\put\bin.This script will create stored procedure sap_upg_getrelease.
After execution provide grant with following

grant all on sap_upg_getrelease to <sid>_shd
Hope this will help you.

Upgrade phase STARTSAP_NBAS error: SYSTEM START failed

During an upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0, I get the following error
message in phase STARTSAP_NBAS:
SYSTEM START failed, code -2
-2: the test rfc did not work.
Try to log on to the system with user DDIC
When I try to log on to the system as user DDIC, I get the following
error message:
DB-Error -0
The same thing happens when I try to log on as SAP*. I am certain that
the password I submit is correct. I have not changed this password at
any time.
I have included SAP_BASIS support package 14 into this upgrade, and
this requires kernel version 133 at least (Note 822379). This kernel
was copied into the usr\sap\put\exenew directory before the upgrade
began. However, the system still seems to run on kernel version 111.
I have tried to put the 133 kernel into
F:\usr\sap\BWS\SYS\exe\nuc\NTAMD64 so that it is copied into
F:\usr\sap\BWS\SYS\exe\run during system startup, but then all my work
processes die. The gateway also seems to be down using this kernel.
Please help!
Regards,
Thomas

Hi.
I made a stupid mistake.. the kernel I was using was unicode, but I should use a non-unicode kernel..

Thomas

How can I stop the Adobe Creative Cloud sign in at every system start?

I don't want to be asked to type in my Creative Cloud sign in data at every system start, only if I definitely use / want to work with my Adobe products. Does anybody know any settings for that and how to do it (Windows 7)? Thank you.

Hi Kapil, so maybe this could be the cause? Every time I start my computer the Adobe Creative Cloud asks me to sign in (without even touching any Adobe program, I just have installed a few of the CS6 suite to test them). If I press 'cancel' and then start the Adobe Application Manager, it asks also to prompt the Adobe ID AND every time I have to agree to the license agreement, not only once. I'm just in the 30 day test phase, maybe this could also be a cause for that? Or ist this a hint for an improper installation?

How to check when system started? Need ASAP!!

HI,
Guys is there a way that I can tell that when the system started and stopped at certain time? If there is, how can i check?
Please let me know ASAP.
Thanks,
I will post points for sure!!

Afi,
Check dev_disp.old in work directory .. Towards the end you can something like change server state from ACTIVE to SHUTDOWN .. You will get some idea from that. Check dev_disp to see when the server is started
Thanks

How much disk space does a typical system start up disk use?

I am trying to partition a 640 GB hard drive for my 17" MacBook Pro. I created a partition of 30GB for the "System Start Up Disk", and after installing the original Tiger OSX software, and then doing the Leopard Upgrade Install, It says that I am out of disk space on that partition.
Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
How about disk space for Applications?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Why do you want to partition that disk?
Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
When not booted from that drive (meaning, I believe, that it's not allocating swap or page space) my OS X 10.5 system uses 68.4 GB, including 10 GB for applications, 2.5 GB for the Developer folder, and 25.5 GB for user folders.

I'm not sure but since it's saying there's a library issue, you could try running:
# ldconfig
Failing that you could try a:
# pacman -Rns slim
# pacman -Syu slim
I tried both "ldconfig" and "pacman -XXX", but the problem is still there.
Maybe I need use another way to recompile slim in my machine.
But I have no time to test it now, I will try it another day.
Thx for replies.

Four digit numbering system starting with 0001 and not just 1.

How can I re name and renumber a file of photos and include a four digit numbering system starting with 0001 and not just 1. I need this so another computer program can keep the images in numerical order
Now I number a wedding say... Smith_Jones 1 ect up to 659 but a program I use to create albumes scrambles all my photos becasue they say the numerical system has to have 4 digits so Number 1 is really 0001 thus staying in order. I d ont see how to assign 3 zeros to the front of numbers --- so # 344 would be 0344 LR wants to keep it 344.

In the Library rename use the following custom settings.
