Trouble Starting My Laptop
Hello!
Ok, so I went to turn on my Satellite A135-S4656 laptop last night and I can't get it to turn on! It was plugged in and I usually set it on "Hibernate" but when I opened it to start it the light remained blue but made no sound like it was starting up and nothing happened. I tried unplugging it, taking out the battery, and when I tried to shut it off the light turns orange and flashes purple. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks!!!
Is the fan unit clean and free of dust mites, leave the battery out and try reboot. Llisten for hard drive interaction(small noise ,fan will operate slow to fast and vice versa). If no hard drive feasible the hard drive has died, but cannot be sure.Bes to take to an authorized service provider for a diagnostic and peace of mind.

IBook has troubles starting up: (?)
The iBook of a friend has troubles starting up. She needs an apple for her studies and has had nothing but trouble with this iBook. She has already have to replace the motherboard and faulty RAM at the store where she bought it.
The most recent trouble is this: sometimes the iBook won't start or it takes a long time before it does. On the screen appears (?). Also when she's working with the laptop, the respons time is sometimes very long.
Her teachers said her that this problem is caused by the hard disk. But I've found a topic of a forum, where somebody had the exact same problem and where replacing the HD didn't help.
Does somebody have an idea what could be an answer?
Also, the store only gives a one-year warranty, but since there have been so many parts replaced, isn't there a two year warranty?
Thanks in advance.Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Here is the link to Apple's Knowledge Base article on recovering from the flashing question mark folder:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58042
How long has it been since hard drive maintenance was performed? If it's been awhile, try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
You will see the normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar ("Macintosh HD" unless it's been renamed). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
See if a little hard drive maintenance helps out performance. -
Big Trouble Starting iBook Up!
Hello there, I am having big trouble with my laptop. Here is the story:
Alright, I have two accounts on my laptop. One was the one a usually used and the other was for help with the FileVault problem I was having. I was running a disk cleaning application and a decided I would delete my .sparseimage on the other account. I had fast user switching enabled, so I clicked my other account. In the process of switching over, there is a blue screen - the screen that appears when the computer is loading a user/account. That blue screen never went away. I restarted the computer by pressing the start button for 5 seconds.
Now, when the computer turns on, it will load and even display the "Mac OSX is loading" screen. As soon as it loads all the way, it will go back to the blue screen and not do anything. What is also weird is that on the blue screen, the screen will change back between blue and black (black with white lettering - like when you are in "Single User Mode"). On this black screen, which only stays on for about a second. says something like "My-Name-iBookG4 getty: The operation can not be performed on the drive". Replace "My-name" with my real name - I do not want to share that across the internet .The wording is not word for word, I am at another location where I do not have my laptop with me. When I get home, I will reply to this and give the exact wording. The blue screen will be on for 10 seconds, and then the black screen will go for about 1 second, it keeps repeating. Me and another mac expert worked for about an hour in single user mode trying to fix it over the phone. We just could not do it. Later, I used Disk Utility from the mac start up disk and verified and repaired the disk. That still did not work. Is there any other way to fix this? Is there another application I can try using with the mac instal cd? My absolutely last resort would be to erase the disk and re install. I will do that after a long amount of searching for fixes. Thanks a ton for your help!

P.S. I have this same message and the troubles I was having in another part of the forum. To see them here is the link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=895880&tstart=0Good news!
I reinstalled the software from the MAC OSX Install CD. I made it so that it will install the software but yet keep all my files. I can now login and operate my computer!

I am receiving an error message when I start my laptop HP G62 Internal battery error 601? What does it means please provide me solution ASAP
Israr,
Then error indicates that the primary battery (the one you can remove and replace) has a hardware failure. You should run Battery Check in HP Support Assistant.

My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?
BigTex415,
my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it. -

Your Mac will also open anything that was open when it was shut down unless you uncheck this option in the restart and shutdown dialog.

I bought my power mac about 5 years ago. Last year I started having trouble starting up when the machine was cold. I put a heater on the unit for about 30 minutes in the morning and then it would start up ok. Through the summer and once the weather got warmer there was no problem.
Now with the start of fall and cold nights, I seem to be having the same problem.
I am concerned that the system drive has five years of usage and am thinking of swapping it out. Any other thoughts???Clone it weekly or twice a month.
Rotate and replace recycle drives
Backup your data even more - daily and weekly sets
In 5 yrs drives have more than doubled in performance, and other than in last month the price per GB (and MB/sec) has dropped.
SSDs are now pppular system boot drives, 10K drives have improved, 2TB $150-200 for media data and backup
Clone your system twice and if it has trouble swap it out and test/zero the drive.
Last year? you don't run on a bad tire or a system having trouble except to pull the drive/tire and put on spare.
There are procedures for repairing a sytem and drives, and then you get into "Why" and troubleshooting causes if necessary. -
hi all
im having trouble getting my laptop to connect to my mac using migration assistant. my mac has a code on the screen but my laptop doesnt respond and just says it waitng for my mac to respond.
any idea? pleaseHi Christina, belated welcome to Apple Discussions if nobody said it already.
I've had some experiences with these new flash memory recording camcorders, and I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've learned. Many of them (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) tend to record in a .MOD file format, which is non-standard, proprietary, and unrecognizable by most software. I thought Canon was usually a little more standards-compliant, but it appears they also use this .MOD format in your specific camera model. There are likely a couple ways we can get around this though!
In order to play the files, you will likely need to change their file format (.MOD) to .AVI manually. You'll have to locate the files on your Mac, and then manually change the file names so that the file extension (after the period) is .AVI
At that point, a video player application such as http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html>VLC should play the files fine!
You should be able to transfer new video files from the camera to the Macbook Pro with no problems as well. Just plug in the camera to the computer via USB, and also make sure the camera is plugged in to charge. Once it's plugged in, open iMovie (came with the MBP, in the Applications folder) and the MBP should take care of the rest.
Let me know if you have any success with any of this!

Trouble starting Managed Server
I'm having trouble starting a managed server.
I have 'myomain' running on 7001, and attempt to start 'examples' on 7006
as a managed server pointing to 7001 as the admin server.
I've modified a copy of startWebLogic.sh to include the following -D parameters:
weblogic.management.server=127.0.0.1:7001
weblogic.management.password = <password for mydomain>
weblogic.management.username=system
When run, the 7001 access.log contains the following entry, so I know the reqest
is getting to the mydomain server:

Trouble starting managed weblogic server on another machine in acluster
Hi,
I was having trouble starting managed weblogic server on another machine in a cluster from the command prompt
I have following setup:
1) BEA weblogic is installed on 2 machines - local machine A with ip address 172.17.2.219 and another machine B with ip address 172.17.2.201
2)node manager is running on both machines
3)An admin server myserver on the local machine at port 7001
4)In the admin tree under Machines a new machine is created 'Machine1' with Node manager Listen Address: 172.17.2.201
5) The managed server 'BEAServerMan1 ' instance is created with listen Address 172.17.2.201 and port 7705. This Server is assigened to Machine1. The server also belongs to a cluster 'Cluster1' where the 172.17.2.201:7705 is part of the Cluster Address.
I can start 'BEAServerMan1 from http://172.17.2.16:7001/console/
But I am unable to start BEAServerMan1 from the console using the command :
startManagedWebLogic BEAServerMan1 http://172.17.2.219:7001

Why is it looking for initXE.ora, and how can I fix it? Like I said I had this database working before (SID or ORCL) so I don't know what changed.
h3. Thank you!!!!!Follow these steps:
startup pfile='<pfile location of initORCL.ora>';
then logging as SYSDBA
create spfile from pfile;
Check the spfile in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/ directory.
then shutdown the database and startup the database.
Don't forget to export the ORACLE_HOME,ORACLE_SID,PATH environment variables.

Hello all,
I'm having trouble starting Photoshop Album Starter Edition v3.2 on a WinXP SP2 machine.
When I double click the icon, I get the splash screen, then it just freezes. In the fine print near the lower left hand corner, the last thing it gets to is "Initializing Model".
I've uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, still same issue.
I found some old thread suggesting repairing the MDAC component on the machine, which I did, then rebooted and tried again. Still no fix. I've also seen some references to a log file that may give additional information, but don't know where that log file is.
Anyone else had this issue and fixed it? Anyone have any additional suggestions I can try?
Thanks!I had the same problem. Figuring the uninstall wasn't removing everything, I did some exploring. By checking the registry, I found that the Adobe Photoshop Album SE was pointing to a directory where the catalog was being stored and maintained. These files were not deleted upon an uninstall and nor were they overwritten (even during a repair). Consequently, upon a new install, the program would attempt to load the original catalog file, which I deduced was corrupt, causing the program to lock up.
To fix the problem (Windows XP), I did the following:
Navigate to the directory, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Album. Delete all of the files and subdirectories. It should be noted that Application Data is a hidden file/subdirectory. To view hidden files, do the following from Windows Explorer (the window that opens when you view directory contents/files): Select Tools, Folder Options and then the View tab. Check the radial button by Show hidden files and folders. Select Apply to All Folders and then select OK.
Install Adobe Photoshop Album SE again. If you still have the program installed, just select "Repair" on the reinstall.
Open Adobe Photoshop Album SE. Cancel the opening dialog screen which asks you to search directories for pictures. Select the File tab (upper left). Select Get Photos from the drop down menu, then From Files and Folders. Browse to the main directory where you have stored your photos. Check the box Get Photos from Subfolders, then select Get Photos. You may have to repeat this several times depending on where you stored all of your pictures. This process rebuilds your catalog file. Hopefully, this will solve your problem.
