I had the same issue... mine was memory related... try removing all but 2 of the memory sticks, rebutting and pressing F9 and running the test. If it passes, restart and try to start up. Out of the 4 memory sticks that I have, one of them was bad and was causing the issue you wrote. Hope this helps

Encore CS4 Missing Frames/Stops Starts and Blue Screen Crashes During Playback

I'm opening Premiere Pro CS4 with the default presets of HDV Capture, HDV 1080i30 software only mode. I'm capturing from my Canon HV20 using firewire HDV out 1440 x 1080. All goes well during the editing process but when I Dynamic Link and playback in Encore CS4 I observe dropped frames or stop and starts in Encore timeline sequence. At times I may even crash Encore with a Blue Screen. While still running Encore I can go back to Premiere Pro and play the timeline sequence with no issues. I will mention that I have the Matrox RT.X2 installed. But when starting a project I'm doing software only and disabling RT.X2 hardware playback. If I remove all effects in the timeline sequence and then Dynamic link to Encore the playback is normal with no effects. I did exported the Premiere Pro CS4 project using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 with a setting of MPEG 2 Blu-ray 1440 x 1080i 29.97 High Quality. I than import this MPEG2 back into Adobe Encore CS4 and it plays without dropping frames or hang-ups.

Try to remember this:
Encore "Tries" to playback from premiere pro. If you have a full set of previews available, it will play those, but you are probably seeing a lot of dropped frames and choppy video if your previews in premiere are set pretty low. What you can do to combat this--in my experience--is export your video from premiere into a whole file in full format (in a non-lossy format with full frames, and in it's proxy equivalent; I use Prores LT for many projects, and export that as a final output from premiere), then have that encode in an h.264 format (which will maximize smooth motion and quality playback). Now... ...In your encore project, you should be outside of your original formats and in the intermediary that encore will recognize, so you should have it "Locate transcoded file". Once you have done so, it will playback that movie in the preview. I've done it. With CS6 and 4gb ram with a vidcard at 256mb and a core2duo 2.16ghz, it plays fine. With CS4 the encoding takes a while, and if you go to dvd, even longer for compression to work properly. I use Compressor to output AVCHD .264 stream and an AC3 file. When I locate the transcode for BD, I locate the .264 file first, then I get asked for the AC3 file. This allows me to import them both, and have Encore encode them into the transport stream without transcoding. I use Distributed processing to get the job done quickly, as I have minimal access to several computers and have connected them by that method for a Render Farming setup. It works well. With a hardware based device playing back your files, you won't see the same performance in Encore. It has to make two hops already to get to your video, and adding a third (goes from encore to Premiere, then to codec, then plays normally; third step is to external hardware, which eats up processing like crazy when it has to come all the way back to an encoding output to screen through encore, adding more steps for the system along the way) really can slow down the performance in Encore. IF you take the Steps out by encoding a finished playback stream, Encore will handle it quickly with it's own processing. It really does work well. If you don't like it, make your changes in Premiere, then re-encode with your hardware and make an h.264 file for encore again. You can use AME, but you'll always get standard Blu-ray (old file-stream format; lesser res and quality). You can use Compressor to make AVCHD which allows for 264 output that is PSF or progressive that is interpreted as simultaneous fields (fake interlace), or even solid progressive formatting for AVCHD compatible players, and you can render-farm it to speed up the encoding process.

Starts on blue screen everytime!

I just bought a Macbook about a month ago equipped with the new Leopard software. My mom had bought an Imac in late 07' and I noticed that they start up a little differently. Up until now mine would play the music note when the power button was pushed. Another thing is, hers has the little loading screen while mine just goes straight from the blue screen to the main menu. Not really a huge issue, just annoying since I'm only 15 and I busted my butt trying to pay for this, help!

Hello Danny:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The "chime" on startup indicates that the Mac has performed a self-test successfully. I that is not present (and since your computer is still under warranty), take it to an Apple store and have them check it under warranty.
There are several troubleshooting steps that one could take, but with a new system it is best to have Apple diagnose/fix under warranty.

IMac start-up blue-screen issue

I've seen other posts on this, but I'm not sure what to do next (so sorry for the repetition). I have a PPC iMac from late 2005. A few days ago, it froze while the screen saver was running. I held in the power button until it shut off, restarted it, and all seemed fine. Last night it froze while in use. I forced it to power off, but when I tried to power on, it wouldn't start up completely. I saw the gray Apple logo/gears screen, then it froze at a blue screen. What I've tried so far:
1. Disconnected external Firewire drive used for TimeMachine backups. (Possibly unrelated problem - TimeMachine reported "can't complete backup because drive is read-only" last week; errors did not return after I ran repair disk through Disk Utility.)
2. Restarted in safe mode successfully. Wasn't sure exactly what to do then, but I repaired permissions and verified the disk (repair disk selection was grayed out) through Disk Utility. Permission repair found several "issues", which I assume it repaired. Verify disk reported no problems. System Profiler reported that the 1.5 GB RAM installed (original 512 KB plus 1 GB I installed a year or so ago) was OK.
3. Reset SMU.
4. Reset PRAM.
[While I was started in safe mode, I ran ChronoSync to get pretty much everything synced over to my MacBook. I assume I have some good back-ups on my external drive (was backing up the iMac to that, not the MacBook, but the MacBook and iMac were pretty much in sync, anyway). If the iMac is dead, I'm in good shape in terms of recoverability.]
I have not attempted to start the iMac in target disk mode as I wasn't sure what to look for if I did. The iMac, of course, is out of warranty and didn't have AppleCare. My closest Apple Store is 60 miles away, although there is an authorized repair facility in my city. There's a limit to how much money I'd want to put into the iMac, so I was hoping to attempt more diagnosis before going there.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Update - some quality time with Google last night resulted in a suggestion to install the latest Leopard update with the combo update (I had updated to 10.5.7 with the incremental update). I downloaded the combo update, installed it, and was able to start up my iMac as usual and log into any of the accounts. I shut down the iMac for the night at that point. This evening, I started it up, started iTunes and Safari, and shortly after that, it locked up again and I had to force it to turn off by holding the power button. Note that I had reconnected my printer and external drive (Firewire) after iTunes and Safari were running - not sure if this has anything to do with anything. I reinstalled the 10.5.7 combo update, but the iMac would not get past the blue screen again, unless I started in Safe Mode.
Carolyn - I'm not sure if you're suggesting I run DU from my other Mac (MacBook) in target disk mode or if I should run it from my install disk. I did just run a repair disk from my MacBook, with my iMac in target disk mode. That didn't report any errors (DU says that S.M.A.R.T. status is not supported), but the iMac still won't boot normally. I had tried to boot from my install disk last night without success, but I may not have held down the 'C" key long enough. Do I use the original install disk (Tiger) or should I use my Leopard upgrade disk?
(I have to admit that the news about Snow Leopard being available for Intel machines only is making me wonder if I should let the PPC iMac die with dignity and get a new iMac or stick with just the MacBook, but it will annoy me if it has died at less than 4 years old. I expected better from Apple.)
Thanks,
Faye

IMac G3 600 OS 10.4.10 won't start-only BLUE SCREEN?

I have an iMac G3 slot-loader 600 Graphite with 10.4.10 768 MB RAM 40Gig HD. It failes to start up. I get the white screen with the Apple logo and the small spinning sprocket. After 5 minutes, it goes to a BLUE SCREEN with the spinning sproket, then after 5 more minutes the mouse cursor appears only. You can move the cursor around the BLUE SCREEN. Tested RAM from another machine, and battery reads 3.7 volts.
Thanks!

Well, I'd try powering on with the shift key held down. This boots in safe mode which will run repair disk and skip loading of some software.

Does the Start-up Blue Screen problem is solved ???

Hello.
I get blue screen on start-up only when I have the secondary screen connected.
If I start my machine with only monitor, I don't get blue screen.
I have done all those procedures, including a fresh install, target disk mode, also the
rm /
rf /System/Lybrary/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle......even if I had no Application Enhancer EVER installed...
no success.
I'm back wih a hope that someone found a fix.
Thanks.

Hey Andrew
I don't have a solution for you, but are you/were you still getting a blue screen ONLY when you have/had a 2nd monitor connected?

IMac will not start up - blue screen after months of Leopard use

I have an iMac G5 that will not start up. It hangs at the blue screen, but does not have the issue with the ApplicationEnhancer.bundle file. It will start up in safe mode.
This iMac will not start from a bootable external drive (the external drive can be used as a start up disk successfully with my iBook G4). The iMac's internal drive can be used as a start up disk for the iBook (via the target mode) and does not appear to have any problems. Does this seem like it is a hardware issue with the iMac? The iMac also hangs at the blue screen if I attempt to start up with the Leopard install disk after using the startup disk preference pane in safe start mode.
I have repaired permissions, verified the disk, etc., using the disk utility. I have cleared caches, preferences, and so on, using Mac HelpMate.

It may be that some of your login items might be incompatible with the mac. Also, try booting up from the install disk and repair your disk.

IBook G4 won't start up, blue screen death! HELP!

I have an iBook G4 (1.2ghz). It has a new hard drive (5 months old), 2 gigs of ram (5 months old), and a new battery (2 months old). I was checking some baseball scores today, and everything froze, as if the hard drive had died. I tried to reboot, and it got stuck at a blue screen. I tried to reboot 4-5 times, and once it worked! I tried running my backup software, and it froze, without backing up my files. Since then, I have:
zapped the pram,
tried to start from a CD
tried to start up in safe mode
nothing gets me past the blue screen of death. I can't even fathom why it won't start from a CD. Is my computer dead? is the hard drive dead? what is let to do?

for those who come across this - and have similar issues - i have an ibook g4 - 14". I used the shim method described by http://www.coreyarnold.org/ibook/ . While he used this method on a 12", I used it on a 14", and it seems to have worked. The computer has been up and running for nearly 4 hours and everything has been backed up. I used 2 3/4" rubber gripping pads purchased at true value for less than $2. The tools cost me $25 from ifixit.com. Beats a reball, and certainly beats a $300 logic board replacement (not including labor!).

Start up blue-screen

Hello,
An odd problem. My Powerbook wouldn't open any compressed files (zip or even the last security update) so I restarted. It's usually left on.
I get the chimes, the Mac logo, then for a brief second the screen that shows the OS being loaded in. This only flashes up. Then I just get a blue screen and nothing happens. I can move the cursor.
Weirdly, though, I am able to network to it and access everything even though I have not logged in.
I can't try starting up from any bootable CD or DVD as the Superdrive died almost as soon as it was out of warranty.
I did do a rebuild of the directory structure using Disk Warrior with the powerbook in firewire target mode. This made no difference. I don't think the boot sequence is even getting that far anyway.
Any ideas?

I'll answer this myself in case someone else has a similar problem in the future.
All tests on the disk and OS structure reported everything was OK.
But in the end I re-installed the OS (from another machine, using this one in target mode) and everything is fine. Just a weird little glitch it seems.

Mac will not login and will not get past start up blue screen

I installed a new security update and then I clicked for the computer to restart after it did it would not login into the computer, it just stays on the blue screen and says starting Mac OS X... Also before I had to login with my username and password and it just automatically skipped that step and tried to login. I have tried using the disk utility in the install disk, I have also tried the fsck and nothing seems to be working. Please help with any ideas or thoughts you might have.
thanks

Hi table,
I had the bluescreen thing happen to me a while back. I too tried to login as 'safe-mode'. The first time I tried it I must have gotten the timing wrong because the login window did not appear. I did eventually get the timing right and it worked, however prior to that while I was sitting there looking at a blank, blue screen I hit the enter key. The login window just 'popped' in at that point. It may not work for you but it couldn't hurt to try it.

My system is frezing and then gives me a blue screen

Pavilion a6426.sc, Windows Vista

When you say blue screen, do you mean the type that says Windows is shutting down to protect the computer or gives an error code that starts with "0x"?

System crash when trying to connect IPod touch (blue screen)

Hello all!
All of a sudden, my computer running on Windows XP doesn't recognize my iPod touch anymore. Changing the USB-Port and re-installing iTunes did not help. The actualization of the driver resulted in the system to recognize the iPod for a couple of seconds, but then the system crashed and a blue screen appeared, which made it necessary to restart the system. I had the same thing four times today now and have absoultely no idea what else I could do. Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance!

Frozen on "setup is starting windows" blue screen tried everything...

Hi, I have tried the bootcamp section but no reply so far. My situation is this - I have an intel imac running 10.4.9, boot camp/XP SP2... everything was running fine. I went away for a week... to my knowledge no one used my computer. I came back and ran os x, everything was fine... I rebooted into windows, black screen, no sign of windows at all... only the standard detection of hardware etc as usual but no windows. Rebooted, same again. Repeat 10 times, same every time. Tried safe mode, everything... never got any further. Booted into os x, fine... tried again in windows... nothing. Decided to format, removed the windows partition, started boot camp process from scratch... got up to the "setup is starting windows" part (after all files have been loaded from the xp cd to prepare for setup) - froze. Rebooted, tried again - froze at same point. Left it for an hour... no change. Have tried formatting completely, zeroing over entire HD, burned multiple fresh copies of windows... re-slipstreamed... never gets any further. Hardware testing using os x cd comes up clean...i have latest firmware... latest security upgrade from apple...tried with all peripherals unplugged... same same same.
At this point I'm thinking something to do with firmware maybe...since that is the only thing I have been unable to change. Im stumped. Have looked all over the discussion pages and none of the solutions people have been given have worked for me.
Any help would be so very much appreciated.
Thanks
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

SOLVED
Well, I'd like to thank all of you for your input. After much prayer and extensive search, I was finally able to install Windows XP SP3 on the new iMac. I kept the 32GB partition created by Boot Camp 2.0, but I did 2 things differently when trying to do it this time. The apple keyboard (since it is so short, really Apple, you had a usable length with the Pro models 10 years ago) was connected to a 6 foot USB extension cable to reach the back of the monitor. This is because the iMac is on a computer desk with a pull-out desk to place the keyboard and mouse. But I disconnected the extension, and plugged it direct this time. I didn't leave the Windows XP SP3 disc in this time, I just restarted, and while it restarted I pressed and held the OPTION key. An icon of just the "Macintosh HD" came up on the screen, at which time I inserted the Windows CD, a few seconds later, an icon for the CD appeared to the right of the Mac HD icon. I selected the CD, and again it went through loading drivers getting ready for windows setup, same as before. I cried out to the Lord, and YESSSSSSSSS, it finally asked me if I wanted to format a windows partition! Needless to say, it went through the entire process fine.
I didn't need to update to Boot Camp 2.1, sp3 is working fine. Installed and ran a few programs, connected to the internet, and so forth. Although I left the network connection to the internet disabled, don't want to use the Windows side for the net, too many virus problems possible.
I shut down the computer, re-connected the USB extension cable, and when I went into the Windows side, guess what? The mouse and keyboard locked up completely. I connected the apple keyboard direct again, and then I had control again. Using the USB extension cable on the Windows side is the only problem, because the Mac side works fine with it. This will be a new post because I really need the extra length because of the distance. But thanks to all.
In God's Harmony,
RODDY
