Target mode doesn't work

Connected to other mac. Restarting, holding down T key. Computer just restarts, ignoring the T key down. Happens in three different start up modes. In Panther and OS9 on one disc and in Panther on another disc in the same machine. It used to work before..
Ideas ?
Thanks
bafomet

Tom,
Thanks for the link, which is also at the bottom of the Kb Article that Kenichi posted.
That refers to connecting an Intel Mac to a PPC Mac.
Which very well may be, what bafomet is doing. We don't know that at this point though.
But I think the OP is trying to start a PPC Mac, with Panther 10.3.9 installed. But I may be incorrect.
I didn't mean to imply that your info was in error. It just may not apply in this instance.
Note that I wrote "...I'm not sure, that Tom in London's assertion is completely correct,...".
I did not write that is was wrong.

Also please be a little more explicit, exactly which iMac do you own and what are you trying to achieve.

HT1661 Imac 2009 imac 2013 target mode did only work one time

My 2009 imac has a broken graphics card. The imac stats up as usual and is ok. To copy some files to my hew 2013 imac id use an thunderbolt to firewire adaptor.
At the first attemp to start up in target mode, is did work very well. The target disk showed up at the new mac and all files were available.
After this succesfull target mode connection, I have problems to get it n a target mode again. After the first time, I cant manage to get it in target mode for the second time. Or I can start up in target mode (without display hard to check) but it don't show up on the new imac.
What am I doing wrong?

If by DU you mean the Apple Disk Utility program, it is located in Applications/Utilities.
Are you saying you can't run that version?
As far as restarting in Target Disk mode, have you tried to change your Startup Disk in the control panel?
It sounds like your iBook is having problems reading the DVD. An external firewire DVD drive can be attached to either machine. External Firewire/USB cases can be gotten for under $30 and new Sony DL DVD burners can be gotten for under $30.
I built my own external drive that works on all of my Mac's and PC's.

Xperia Z2: Stamina mode doesn't work aparently

Hi,
Stamina mode doesn't work aparently on my phone. I try all the configurations but the sotware doesn't turn off the wifi and neither the mobile data coming from the operator when i block and turn off the screen of the device. I continue receiving information from all the apps and i haven't done any exception on the stamina configuration. Any idea to solve this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Looks like you are talking about Low-Battery mode...
First make sure that you have turned it ON. After that just see "Activation" section under Low Battery mode to find at what level it has been set to activate.. By default, Low battery mode gets activated at 20% battery level.

Boot up from target disk mode doesn't work. (Why?)

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro, and a 2013 iMac. I connected the Macbook pro with the firewire cable to the iMac, and enabled target disk mode on the laptop. (It is successful because I see the hard drive appear on the iMac desktop.
I restart the iMac and hold 'option' to show the hard drive list, and sure enough the Mac Book Pro hard drive appears. I select it, and this lovely icon greets me.
From this point, I have no idea what to do.
Would you happen to know why it doesn't work and/or how to fix it?

I am able to do that... this is not the problem.
I have seen people boot up from the hard drive using target disk mode. When I try to do it, it doesn't work. Does this feature still exist?

Flashing in Windows Modes doesn't work

I'm running Windows Vista Business, and when I try to update my BIOS in windows mode, it fails.
I'm using MSI Live Monitor 3. After finding the bios (1.5), I use "windows mode" to flash.
A command-line window comes up, and I can see everything getting flashed. However, after it's done it reboots automatically. After both the initial splash-scrren and the SATA-screen showing my drives, I get an CMOS checksum failed error, and I can either start fiddleing with the setting themselves, or just use defaults.
I've tried both.
And after both times, after I get back to windows again, Live Monitor 3 says it has an update for me - bios 1.5. So I can only conclude it wasn't installed, somehow.
Before doing the install, I closed ALL programs, except windows itself. (I'm saying this, because Live Monitor 3 wishes me to close it..........)
I cannot flash via a floppy-drive because I don't have one.
Another problem is that DigiCell keeps telling med: "Failed to load driver". I have no idea what it even IS, but I'd just like to see what free software I get. :P
Thirdly, has anyone heard of problems with external USB drives and MSI mobo's? I have a 500gb My Book drive that throws I/O errors in Vista, but not in XP on another PC...
My PC is:
MSI P965 Platinum,
2.13ghz Core 2 Duo,
2048mb DDR2 RAM, 533 Mhz
Regards,
Søren Andersen

Thank you Jack!
It is indeed updated to 1.5 - I just didn't notice, since I had the full-logo thing on.
I also updated the drivers, but unfortunately that didn't help. :-(
I've been trying since friday to fix this both on the WD forum (http://websupport.wdc.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5948) and on Microsoft's tech forum (http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices&tid=dc8d09ab-0d98-452c-b2d3-a0948f756dda&cat=en_us_9F280F8D-E6BF-F78C-234A-416CF09D5DC5&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1)
but we've still been unable to fix it...
To be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with hardware. The drive doesn't work properly on this PC (MSI / Vista) but does on my laptop (Dell / XP), but it has to be checked...
Basically, it keeps throwing 0x8007045D I/O errors, but I can see noone in here has had similar problems.
So, thank you for your extremely swift replies and very great help!

Søren

When Searching for attachments to mail, preview mode doesn't work

When I am in mail and am composing a new email and I click "Attach" to attach a file, the current folder comes up and shows the preview mode of every file type (i.e. pictures and pdf previews). No problems. However, if I then do a search for something (my name for example) to narrow down my choices of files or images to select, the next search level does not show a preview of the files or images, just a .pdf icon or the .jpeg icon - NO PREVIEW. This is extremely frustrating! I tried on different folders and the same results occurred. Any ideas or is this a bug?

Hi Pranava,
I couldn't reproduce this issue, when I create root folder FS0 in "Shared Documents" and start a full crawl, I click the FS0 link from search results page, it will open the FS0 folder as well as folder under FS0.
Please right-click the FS0 name hyperlink (e.g. mine is http://sp/Shared%20Documents/FS0) and paste in IE browser see if it could be accessed successfully.
Also test if other Shared Documents have this issue in other site collection or web applications, if not, run a full crawl may do a trick (please reset search index if only full crawl still doesn't work).
Thanks

Trying to transfer files from non-bootable Mac, Target mode does't work... Any suggestions?

Hello I have a MacBook Pro laptop that doesn't boot and stops at the Apple logo in grey.
I ready about Target Mode and wen't bought a Firewire cable, connected to another MacBook Pro but the hard drive doesn't show up on the Go/Computer or the Disk Utility either.
Also I noticed that when the MacBook Pro is in Target mode it shows the Firewire logo jumping around the screen but to the left of it also is something that looks like electrical/power symbol, don't know if that matters. I tried to plug in the target computer to power and nothing changes, then tried to leave it unpluged from power and plug in the power to host but nothing happens. Both are almost full power on battery.
Basically I need a way to get the files off. Thanks.

See if the procedure here is any different from what you are already doing:

OS 10.8 just installed. "Hot Corner" to put new iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 to sleep mode doesn't work. Have tried cordless and corded mouse with same result. Momentary sleep, immediate wake. Any idea how to fix?

Set "hot corner" to put iMac to sleep. Doesn't work. Selecting the corner will momentarily put to sleep, but immediately rewakes. Have tried all four corners with same result. Have tried with wireless mouse and with corded mouse with same result. Any ideas as to how to fix?

You've been so great, I want to thank you for all the help over a very frustrating day. Last evening, I redownloaded and installed the fresh copy of Mountain Lion. The problem remained. After installing the new OS 10.8, any clicks on a web page (Firefox browser) didn't open the page, but instead made a copy of the page on the desktop. Felt it must be hardware degrading, so I set up a case with Apple support for today. Early in the diagnostics, I had swapped out for a corded mouse and the problem remained. As a last try, I changed out my wireless mouse for a different wireless mouse. That seems to have done the trick. My Logitech mouse is incompatible with OS 10.8.
Thank you again, so much!

The Bluetooth setup assistant should "find" a device in range when that device is turned on. What are you trying to add?

Pressing D on boot to get into Diagnostic mode doesn't work. Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8

My charger has stopped working all of a sudden for my MacBook Pro. I tried my friends charger and it works. I've seen a few people mentioning that their charger started working again after running a Diagnostic test at boot up by pressing "D" after powering up the computer.
I see this instruction all over the web, but it doesn't work for me! I have the OSX DVD in the drive. Holding down "C" while booting makes it boot on the DVD, and holding the Option key will give me a boot menu. But it just boots normally while holding down "D".
Am I missing something?

Press D during startup
Start up in Apple Hardware Test (AHT).
Apple Hardware Test is included on the DVDs that are shipped with some Macintosh computers. If the copy on your hard drive becomes unavailable, use the DVDs to run Apple Hardware Test.
For Intel-based Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.4 or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and should be included with your computer.
For Apple computers that shipped with Mac OS X v10.5.5 to 10.6.7, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead.

S3 mode doesn't work fine on K8N Neo-fsr since overclocking, please help!

I have a K8N Neo-FSR (MS-7030) BIOS version 1.6 (I tried 1.4, 1.5), running AMD64 2800+ SK 754, 2x 256MB DDR400 Kingston valueram pluging in slot 1&2. It runs well except S3 mode .
Since I overclock HTT (everythings else have their own default values), S3 mode seems to work so crazy . After wake up from this usefull stop-grant standby mode, HTT is given back to its original speed, 200MHz, without notice (?!) .
You know that I don;t like this much, do you?
Who responsible for this function? Mainboard or CPU? If it's mainboard, which department will be sentenced, BIOS or chipsets/ICs?
Could anybody give me a solution to achive higher speed by overclocking without giving up using S3?
Thanks so much!

It's a bad new! I had bad feeling about DFI with the same problem, S3 mode resuming bring FSB back to df and even sometimes led the system to the ruin. But upgrading bios solved this issue. My old Abit did S3 mode fine. Now I have a new MSI and once again I must use teknophyle's way or slow hibernation instead.
On the same occasion, I wana ask about some shortcoming in 1.6 bios: power on by keyboard/mouse and power led options. I only found S3 wake up by keyboard/mouse but not keyboard/mouse power-on options! There is power led option in version 1.56 but it disapeared in 1.6. Now my mobo has no signal to differentiate between sleep and power-off. would you give back the useful power led option and add power on by combination keys in the near future bios version, syar? Look forward to hearing some good new from you :D.

CISCO VPN CLIENT RUNNING KERNEL 64 MODE (DOESN'T WORK!?)

Hi,
I switched my Mac to Kernel 64 and some days after, trying to run my Cisco VPN Client (vpnclient-darwin-4.9.01.0180-universal-k9), give me back the classic "*ERROR 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem*"
I'm not sure that the kernel 64 is the cause, but I believe it.
I've just tried the reinstall (also all fix and work around findable on the web and forums), but nothing to do.
The "+sudo SystemStarter restart CiscoVPN+" by terminal doesn't work, and it give back this message:
"+(kernel) Kext com.cisco.nke.ipsec not found for unload request.+
+Failed to unload com.cisco.nke.ipsec - (libkern/kext) not found.+
+Starting Cisco Systems VPN Driver+
+/System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) requested architecture/executable not found; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).+"
Someone has the same problem?
(p.s.: sorry for my GOOD English...)

Do you really need to run a 64 bit kernel? One of the reasons Apple boots into a 32 bit kernel is because not all 3rd party drivers are 64 bit capable.
Unless you have a 64 bit only driver that you must run, or you have something like 32GB or more of RAM, the 32 bit Mac OS X kernel will work just as well as the 64 bit kernel. Both kernels will equally run 64 bit applications, so there is no downside to a 32 bit kernel for most users.
There are some other posts in this forum where someone ran Mac benchmarks with a 32 bit and 64 bit kernel, and the results were essentially identical. The best performance improvement came from having a 64 bit application, but having a 64 bit kernel didn't affect performance at all.
I too have to use the Cisco VPN Client, and as I do not see any advantage to running a 64 bit kernel, I will be happy running the 32 bit kernel starting Thursday, when my 27" iMac arrives

Find Mode doesn't work

Hi,
Maybe this is correct behaviour, but for me it's quite strange. I create new project (ADF+UIX), create Business Components From Tables (only one small table). Then I create new DataPage on struts diagram and edit this page (I choose uix as type of page). I drag on page View Object that I have just created (choosing 'Search form' from 'Drag and drop as' drop-down list). I select just created UIModel in Structure pane and change value of 'Find Mode' from false to true in Property Inspector.
With those operations performed my page works perfectly - it opens without execution of query, and shows fields to fill criteria in.
Then I put at the bottom of page link pointing to the same page (assuming that page is named 'dataPage1.uix', the link points to 'dataPage1.do'). When I run page, it's works only till I click that link for the first time. From that moment the page cease to work. It is impossible to change the value of Find Mode using the button which normally do it. It is only possible to create and delete search criteria rows.
Can anyone confirm tha it is a bug and I should register tar on that issue or maybe this is normal that after using link between pages Find Mode will not work anymore? Maybe there is a work-around for this?
