Tiger won't start after install

Hi there,
I have just installed Tiger on the 2nd Hard drive in my G4 (533Mhz) but when I restart I get the prohibiting sign after awhile and nothing more happens.
I'm running OS9.1 from the other HD but needed Tiger to upgrade to new dreamweaver.
I've searched the forums and Support notes and still can't get it to start.
Installation seemed to be successful.
Firmware checked and up to date.
Used Disc fisrt aid - all OK.
Starting in safe mode doesn't work.
I tried installing again with the Archive and install to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get it going?
I'd appreciate the help.
regards
Paul
G4 533 Mhz Mac OS 9.1.x

Could this be a Master-Slave issue? It might be necessary to reset the dipswitches on the hard drives to turn the 2nd drive into the Master disk, and the reduce the drive containing OS 9 to the Slave disk. (I had a similar issue with installing OS X onto a second disk, and this was suggested as a possible solution, but it didn't happen to work for me.)

Mac Mini won't start after installing OS X 10.6.3

My Mac Mini won't start after installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. When I turn it on, the Apple logo appears and the initialization line starts to fill, but it suddenly stops. It does that again and stops at the same point, but this time it shuts down. What should I do?

If you are coming from 10.5.8, hopefully you backed up your important data first. Your mini will need at minimum, 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard and at least 5 GB of storage remaining on your boot drive.
I treat 10.6.3 as a fresh, full install over a 10.5.8 system. That means I choose Disk Utility from the Installer's menu and repartition the boot drive as a single partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format, and use the GUID partition scheme from the options button. At this point, while still in Disk Utility, I would verify the drive under First Aid.
Then I turn the installer loose, and reboot into a working 10.6.3 system, ready for the software updates that take the machine to 10.6.8.
So, following the above guidelines, reinstall 10.6.3.

Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot.

HAL won't start after install on DL585 G2

I ran a v40z for years and recently had SRSS 5.2 on S11 running just fine. This past week I replaced the v40z with a DL585 G2 and reinstalled S11 and SRSS 5.2. Everything went well except now HAL won't start failing with, I suspect, a timeout after several minutes. Using truss it is clear that devfsadm is going too slow. If I keep restarting HAL and devfsadm over and over, eventually it will start.
Is there any way to troubleshoot this further?
Many thanks,
Marty

Thanks for the reply.
I am now kicking myself because I thought I had made a copy of the truss output, but I have not. After 2 hours of tinkering, the machine is finally up and I am hesitant to mess with it any more.
The truss of devfsadm showed threads of devfsadmd stalling for about 60 seconds over and over again performing an ioctl against a devinfo file. I also wonder if this is related to the following message seen over and over in /var/adm/messages:
Mar 4 10:05:21 dl585 devfsadmd[595]: [ID 511948 daemon.error] di_init failed for /pci@0,0/pci10de,5c@9/pci103c,3305@4,4/device@1/mouse: No such device or address
There is some mouse that devfsadm thinks it has but then it can't find it. For what it's worth, there is no mouse plugged into the console. Further, I have disabled ILO via boot ROM and disabled all USB via BIOS.
Suggestions?
Thanks again,
Marty

G4 won't start after install?

Hello, just upgraded my G4 from 10.4.9 to leopard. Installation was successful, but after boot computer won't start. It shuts down right after gray screen shows. Now I started from leopard installation disk and fixed permissions. But that won't work. When I trie to start up from my HD it shuts still down right aftergray screens appeares. My comp spec: G4, 1,4GHz, 2gb ram, geforce2 video.
Ideas?

This appears to be another G4 bricking incident. There are plenty of these occurrences on these boards. You must boot from disk (hold "c" during re-start - wait until you see the spinning disc then release the "c" key). Choose disk utility, erase your disk and reinstall from scratch using the same hold "c" method. It's not a pretty solution, but plenty of us have had to figure this out the hard way. Welcome to Leopard.

PowerMac G4 (FW 800) Won't Start After Installing Airport Extreme Card!

After installing an Airport Extreme Card in my G4 FW 800, the computer will not Chime or Start Up; shortly thereafter, the Fan begins to Run erratically.
Without the Airport Card installed, the CPU runs normal, with the exception of the clock needing to be reset.
Any help is Greatly Appreciated! -Nico

Hey Tom, thanks for the response. I have tried holding Command-Option-R-P down (resetting the PRAM) at startup with no avail. I have also pressed the PMU button with and without the Airport Card installed. Still no luck. I am pretty stumped. I ran a hardware check on the machine, and it has come back successful without the card.
The previous owner installed an extra internal HD and some memory. I have since installed a new PCI graphics card. Do you think these have anything to do with it?

VLC problem - won't start after installing skins

Hi everyone,
after installing some skins from the vlc website, I run into the following problem: VLC starts with two instances, CPU jumps to 100%, then VLC just dies. I've deleted the skins, changed the gtk theme, reinstalled vlc and did about a million other things, but the problem persists. Running vlc or cvlc from the terminal gives me the following message:
[0x14db9c8] skins2 interface: skin: subX author: Martin Poehlmann
[0x231ebd8] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
So apparently it still starts with two instances, but I have no idea why. There is no subX skin in the skins folder, everything looks clean. Any ideas would be really appreciated, as this is for me the best dvd player. Thanks!

NB505-N500 Won't Start After Installing New RAM

I just watched a YouTube video showing how to replace RAM in a Toshiba netbook, but now my computer won't start even after I put back in the original RAM. On the parts label, it shows D3. I bought Crucial CT25664BC1067 2GB 204-PIN PC3-8500 SODIMM DDR3 Memory Module. Can someone provide some guida...
Thank you.
Solved!

Mac won't start after installing Mountain Lion

After installing Moutian Lion (from 10.6.x) overnight I returned home yesterday evening and wasn't able to start up the mac.
I get the white screen of death and a little spinning wheel and then the mac shuts down.
I tried rebooting in recovery mode and did a "repair disk".....it said that it couldnt repair the disk.
I tried the "reinstall the OS X" option but the two drives it showed me are both locked so I couldnt do that either!
I didnt have time to do anything else.......what do I need to do now? WHat are the next steps? Sledgehammer? Dynamite?
Thank you

Thanks Arthur,
Point 1 sounds scary and expensive!
thanks for the link I will try some of these when I get home and will report back.

Phone won't start after installing iOS 6

Alright, first post here so bear with me.
So I installed iOS 6 I think maybe last Sunday and everything was fine from there. Safari, messaging, photos, apps were all working well. After the install I had lost all my apps but it didn't bother me as I don't have many so I installed them all again.
Today I forgot to install a flashlight app so I decided to do so then my phone went black. I thought hmm thats odd, and tried turning it on but it wouldn't. I thought it had simply loss battery so I connected it and it still wouldn't turn on. I decided to press and hold the home and power button to try and restore it and the apple startup screen kept flashing on and off.
Eventually I was able to restore it after numerous attempts and I decided to back it up as I did not want to lose anything. Restored and everything fine again except I was left with no apps and music, so, a bit annoyed, I added a few albums and went to my bed for a nap and tried to install Alien Blue app on my phone to read to get me to sleep but crashed again.
Now I realize it's something to do with the app store so I realize I should just probably restore my iphone clean (real pain in the *** though) but now it's not letting me restore and the start up screen is just blinking on and off. Have it connected to my computer but itunes is not reading it and have gone into Services on computer and disabled then enabled Apple Phone Device but no dice.
Is there anyone that could help me please? I would really really appreciate it.
P.S. I have an iPhone 4 which I have had for nearly 2 years, my contract runs out in December.

You may of had a corrupted install. Connect to iTunes backup then restore. Or update the apps on itunes then sync to the iPhone

Mac Pro Won't Start After Installing Security Update Tonight

I just installed the latest security update for Lion on my Mac Pro via software update. The update seemed to install fine. I was about to start work when all of a sudden the system rebooted on its own. Now it just continues to reboot because it can't complete the boot up.
I tried resetting PRAM and SMC, but this didn't help.
I tried booting up from CD using an old SNL disk. I was able to get to disk tools once. I checked my startup volume and disk tools said the volumes is fine. I was checking permissions when once again the system rebooted on its own.
I tried starting up in safe mode, but it only gets so far into the boot process before it reboots.
I tried starting in verbose mode, and noticed several SMC related errors (this is why I tried to reset the SMC). No joy.
If I leave the system sit a few minutes, it gets further into the boot process, but still won't boot completely.
Any suggestions?

- FOR OS VERSION UPDATES YOU CAN ROLL THEM BACK
have to trash the UPDATE10.4.?.PKG file that is located in:
Hard drive> Library> recipts folder> ??.pkg file. (check spotlight search if you cant navigate to the Recipts folder for .pkg files to take out the one for the latest update you have done.
Basically the only way to "roll back" any applications or drivers that are updated is to do an entire Archive and Install of your OS (can do preserving user and network settings and WILL NOT LOOSE ANY DATA) see knowlege base article 107120 for A&I how to. You can always do the software updates later after the A&I.
That particular security update may have been faulty so of course, mabye try the DL again to see what happens and by all means CHECK THE SUPPORT TAB of this site for software updates if you want to do them. IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT. most software updates do little or nothing for the application and somtimes they could cause problems LIKE loosing your itunes library when going from 5.0 to 6.0 and so on...

Your case may be simpler to resolve. You do not have the MBR entry for Windows.
Do you a NTFS header "R.NTFS" when you run the following command in Terminal?
