System wont load.

When i press the power button the system stays with the image of the apple, and the "thinking" timer in the screen, but it wont proceed to the main frame, it is just stuck there.

The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running 10.7 or later) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.

I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

New system wont load WIN XP Pro

Hi all,
Thanks for all of your help (see last post). I finally got my box together. The problem I have is that I cant get WIN XP Pro to install. It starts the set up and then loads a but load of drivers... then says starting Windows Setup at the bottom right of the screen. Is there something special I need to do?
I am going to get a new Case and PSU on Monday as I found my power switch is broken on my new case...
Athlon XP 2400+
K7n2 D-ILSR
BFG Asylum GF4 Ti4200
60 GB Maxtor Diamondmax
Liteon DVD
Liteon CDRW
Fudin Aluminum Case w/ 400 w Raidmax PSU

Also, my cpu fsb is set at 100 mhz, when I set it to 133 the system wont post. The sys gives me a mem error on the D bracket and beeping. Could it be my PSU? will be buying an Antec or Enermax on Monday....

Hi,
I have a K7N420D Pro Mobo and I had a similar problem. There were two issues:
1. I have a PCI RAID controller (add-in card).
2. I plugged my cable modem into my board's ethernet
controller (I was hoping for XP to auto detect).
I tried to install XP on a number of occasions but it failed each time - I removed both of the above and it installed first time.
I suppose it would be a good idea to keep your Mobo peripherals to a bare minimum whilst installing XP. Install your cards/peripherals once you have XP installed.
As to your Mem and FSB problem - I've no doubt spomeone'll be along in a minute......

Operating system wont load

i believe that i may have turned off the power switch on the wall that feeds electricity to everything in my room, while my computer was running pro tools. Now when i turn on the computer, my operating system does not load and it does not ask for my password. All i see is a blank blue screen, but my mouse is being recognized. I hope my files are not lost.What do i do to restore my OS(tiger) without losing all the files on my computer?

Hi, B. G. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. I suggest you begin troubleshooting using the process specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified. This is a good procedure to run after a power failure.
2. A blue screen at startup can also indicate a problematic Startup or Login item. If step 1 above does not resolve the issue, my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is exacerbating the problem.
Good luck!

I have a few fidle finger users so i need to limit them.
thanx

If those other solutions don't do the trick, as a last step I would recommend performing an "Archive and install". Basically, this re-installs Mac OS X without removing any of your user files, settings, applications, etc. It re-installs your operating system, but in a way that preserves everything that you had before. It should fix your System Preferences problem.
For detailed instructions on how to perform an archive and install, go here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Good Luck!

Itunes wont load due to java scriptcore.dll what do i do, itunes wont load due to java scriptcore.dll what do i do

Suddenly itunes stopped loading. I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it but it wont load saying the Java sript core.dll is not valid. What do i do to fix this? And will i be able to get my downloads back?

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
Re: I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes 10.2.1 and ever

Java applets wont load in Safari and constantly crash in Firefox

I have to use Java Applets to work from home. I normally use Firefox as my browser but since the last Java update Forefox keeps crashing. I have tried Safari too and it wont load the applets at all. I am desperate to get some work done but I can't get into my work files that are stored on my office's servers.
I have seen lots of discussion about enabling java etc. in my browser and all of that has been done.

Make sure your Java system is updated on both sides (home and work computers).
As an alternative, you might look into a non-Java VPN solution. I use RealVNC (free for up to 5 computers) to work from home on my Macs and connetc to WinXP and Win7 systems at work. It works beautifully and I can connect to all 4 work systems simultaniously! The only thing the free version won't do is print remotely... so I print to PDF in my Dropbox and print that at home.
For VPN, I use a Cisco RV042 4 port router (about $90 at BestBuy) and connect via the built in OS X VPN in the Network Preferences panel. It literally took less than 5 minutes to set up. Sweet, simple, minimal cost and setup, and I can work from the house 24/7 if needed.

Safari wont load any website

I try to launch Safari and it just spins. I have tried the "reset safari" and still has not worked. It states that " safari could not open the page "http://www.mac.com/" because the server stopped responding."
However, I am working on FireFox so the server is working. Help!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

the clock which was set to digital displays wrong time...i even set the time zone.
If you open the Date & Time System Preferences, you can select an option to use a Network Time Server. Does selecting a Network Time Server keep the time correctly? (Of course, you will have to be online some time during the day for the time to update itself.)
Also safari wont load any other website but apple start page
What happens if you try to visit any other Web page? Do you see an error message? If you open the "Activity" window from the Safari > Window menu, do you see any activity running?
my iphoto is allowing me to upload photos
Do you mean to say that iPhoto is NOT allowing you to upload photos? Again, do you see any kind of error message? What does happen? Does your camera or memory card appear on the Desktop as a hard drive? Can you open the Image Capture application (from inside the /Applications/ folder) and use that to download some of the pictures to your Desktop or another location?
If you use the Accounts System Preferences to create a new user, log out and log in as the new user, can they import pictures with iPhoto? Does Safari work correctly for the new user as well?

Java was blocked due to the threat I have followed the update & other options to reenable it ie.manual updates reinstalls yet websites like YouTube still wont load up.Works fine in Chrome & IE!

Your plugins list in "more system details" shows Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_31 for Mozilla browsers so Java should not be blocked.
Could you post a link to a webpage where Java isn't working for you? YouTube uses Flash, not Java. Here is a list of Java test pages you can try, to confirm that Java is working, from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Testing_Java
* [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp Test your Java Virtual Machine (JVM)] at java.com.
* [http://browserspy.dk/java.php Java Information - BrowserSpy.dk]
* [http://javatester.org/ Java Tester] - The test pages at javatester.org will tell you if your web browser is enabled for Java and, if so, the Java version.
* [http://www.pinlady.net/PluginDetect/Java/ Java Plugin Detector]
By the way, I see in your plugins list that you also have the VLC media player Web Plugin 2.0.0 so, it's possible that the VLC plugin is causing a conflict if YouTube or other videos don't work. See [[Video or audio does not play]] (you may need to disable the VLC Media Player plugin in the Add-ons -> Plugins list for some media to play).

Internet wont load a page

Ok so I have jsut bought a new MacBookPro and love it, however sometimes my internet pages wont load. It continues to say loading untill it finally say cannot be opened etc etc but then i refresh it and it comes up normal.... Its not my internet connection becuase the other computers on the network are fine... its happening both in safari and firefox and its starting to give me the willies...

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Could be a 3rd party plugins causing the problem. Go to ~/Library/Internet Plugins. Move any 3rd party plugins to the Trash and restart your Mac.
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.1. Download and install the 10.6.2 combo udpate available here. That will bring your system software up to date.

IDVD 08 wont load up a project from iDVD 4.0.1

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to make a DVD for me and my friends and we're on the verge of giving up. My friend made the DVD on his eMac on iDVD 4.0.1. The DVD wouldnt burn, it just popped the DVD out after putting it in the drive. Its probably his eMac's DVD burner, its plays DVDs but wont burn them. Anyways, so i got an external hard drive and put the DVD project on it. Now i've tried to upload it on my mac mini on iDVD 08 and it wont load. It Comes up with two messages. The first is this:
"At least one of the themes used by this project is missing on your system. The default theme "Revolution Main" will be used instead."
The next message is this:
"Changing TV Standard
Changing the TV standard will require iDVD to encode all previously encoded assets again."
Then it just says "loading project: EvE SL 07.dvdproj" and since then nothing has happened.
Is there anything that i was supposed to do that i haven't done? Like backup files or something? I really have no clue.

I have the same problem - there is another thread around here where I put up the trace information but no-one seemed interested in helping.
I have not been able to get anyone from Apple to show any kind of interest at all in fixing it.
My next idea is to use the property editor to see what is in the project data (XML) that it could be complaining about. I would imagine that they have changed the meaning of an item or just moved it.
