Stop sign at startup

Hi!
So, when I start up my Macbook mid-2010, I log in first, and after 30 seconds the stop sign comes up. I am able to log in as a guest user.
When I load up the install disc of Snow Leopard and choose for Disk Utility, I can see the disk, but it sais it is not mounted? When I click on 'mount', it doesn't respond. see the following screenshot for more info:
I'm currently running OSX 10.7.3
2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I currently had some other problems with my mac, see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17524117#17524117
Also it might be interesting that I had bootcamped my Mac, but since a couple of days I deleted the partition using the bootcamp utility.
Hope someone can help me!
Thanks, Dirk

Mac OS shows STOP sign at startup

Hey there......well, my mac doesnt seem to work now, whenever i start it up, it stops at the screen where the apple comes up, and after a while a stop symbol comes up. Nothing can be done that i know of. But the thing is, im actually on the same machine right now, only im running windows.....now, i got some questions and hope they can be answered, these are:
Is all my data i had saved, music, photos, all files, doomed, or is there a way to get them back?
What can be done???
Thanks for the help.
Macbook Pro 15 inch, duo core 2 2.33ghz

Actually it was 8 GB. Well, I couldnt back anything up and just tried booting it from the cd and repairing the disk with Disk Utility and right now im writing from Mac OS X! Im doing backups now on dvds, thanks for the help guys, apreciate it!
Ooooh, there was a small thing i wondered about tho, have anyone heard about an issue when you are burning and the audio goes all screwy if you are listenin to music or whatcin a video, stuttering and all? It happened with me only in Windows so far tho, not on the mac os, but i would think it should go fine burnin cds on windows, is it normal with windows on mbp or?
Anyhow, thanks again for the help!

After installing the mountain lion on my Mac at startup a stop sign appears and i cant loguin or do anything.. What should i do?

After installing the mountain lion on my Mac at startup a stop sign appears and i cant loguin or do anything.. What should i do?

If you mean the "no entry" sign, a circle with a slash through it, then you need to reinstall Mountain Lion.
Boot into the Recovery HD by holding down cmd-r at startup tone until gray screen.
From there, reinstall Mountain Lion.

Mac won't start, gives me the kernel stop-sign

Ok, this is my big big problem..
One day, i was just doing nothing on my dear computer, starting up firefox or something, then suddenly everything stopped. I couldn't do anything. I forced-restarted the computer with the boot-button. When im trying to start it over again, i get to the white startup-screen with the apple-icon in the middle, with the loading-circle underneath it. After a while, the apple-icon changes to a grey stop sign (picture of it further down).
So, what have i tried?
Trying to boot with CD, says i can't install Mac OS, but i can go into the Disk utility, Verify Disk / Repair Disk:
Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Invalid node structure
Invalid B-tree node size
Invalid node structure
Invalid B-tree node size
Volume check failed
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
I have time machine on my external hdd, but when pressing the time machine-button after trying to start with CD, nothing happens.
When starting the computer holding down SHIFT-button, i get a white screen with black text, and a square saying 'You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again." The black text in the foreground says:

Ok, so i cant boot the computer with the shift key, just gives me bad error message. Nothing particular is happening while booting with the X-button and i've tried to reset PRAM.
I really don't know what to do... and my computer is from 2009, has worked pretty good (until now), and i dont have any warranty...
EDIT:
I've also tried to boot it with holding down cmd-s, and i just get a repeated message saying alot of stuff...

Something like that.....

There is this Apple Knowledge Base article, which describes your issue:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1892?viewlocale=en_US
However, it sounds as though you have tried most of what's there. If it won't allow you to reinstall the OS, then there is definitely something amiss with your hard drive.
Sometimes a third-party disk utility (such as Drive Genius) can repair a drive when Apple's own Disk Utility cannot.
Good luck with it.

Can't boot on my external hard drive on another Mac (stop sign)

Hi,
My system is placed on an external SSD connected to my iMac.
I've just bought a brand new Mac Mini and I wish to boot it using my SSD.
When I pick it up in the startup alternatives list (maintening the "Alt" key pressed during the boot), I just get a gray screen with a stop sign at the middle. Then the Mini shuts down.
Isn't it possible at all to use the same boot disk on my iMac and on my Mini ? (I don't intend to use it constantly on both, I was just hoping to migrate flawlessly using the same System disk).
Note :
- when I plug it back to my iMac, the iMac boots up normally
- if I boot my Mac Mini using the internal hard drive, I can access to all the content of my SSD. I performed a full disk check on it using the Disk Utility and everything's fine. I just can't boot with it.
- of course, both of the systems (iMac/SSD and Mac Mini internal HDD) are up-to-date (10.8.2)
Thanks for your help.

Most likely, the new mini can't boot with the iMac's components. See Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac and Computer-specific Mac OS X releases for details.

Why Stop sign shows up when I try to install tiger on Lombard

I knew tiger doesn't support Lombard. However, through the third party software, XPostFacto, I successed to install tiger to my old hard drive (6 GB). I felt the hard drive is too small and then bought a 20 GB hard drive. First, I installed OS 8.6 and found the XpostFacto did't work and then I installed OS 9.0, but when I tried to install tiger to my new hard drive, a stop sign showed up on the screen and my lambard sounds freezed. Can anybody tell me what costs this and what I can do next? I am so appreciated to get your help. Thanks.

jpl,
Yes. It is the same Tiger DVD used last time. I thought it is clean and I can see all the files on the DVD.
Stop sign icon showing repeated:
1) After last time saw stop sign, I tried Option-Command-Escape, NO Respone.
2) I Restarted it by pushing Control-Command-Power. PB restarted but the same stop sign icon showed up.
3) I pressed and released the reset button on the rear of the computer. PB shut down.
4) Waited over 5 seconds, and then I pressed the Power button to restart the PowerBook computer. In the meantime, I pressed and held the Command-Option-P-R keys until I heards the startup sound for the second time. Computer reboot from HD with Mac OS 9.0. No freezes.
5) Lauched XPostFacto4 from HD,and made these selection as followings,
Select Volume: 40 BG HD
Select Install CD: Mac OS X install DVD
Restart in: Mac OS X
NVRAM options:
boot-device: ode0:7,\BootX.bootinfo
boot-file: -h -i
boot-args: -v rd=*idel/@0:3
auto-boot?: true
input-device: keyboard
output-device:screen
6) Clicked "Install from CD", "Are you sure you want to install Mac OS X now", clicked "Install". PB started to install extensions and items (totally not over 5 seconds), then PB shut down itself, and stop sign icon jumped up again.
Thanks for your help.

My mail account has been set up and working to send and receive mail for several months. All of a sudden I can not receive mail. The connection doctor shows all green lights. No changes have been made and nothing has been changed on preferences on IMAP and SMTP. I can send mail. My other accounts all send and receive mail. When you click on activity the list shows stop signs. All accounts show that they are online.

UPDATE:
I deleted all the messages off the server of the offending email address and everything works fine now.

MacBook Pro unable to boot up [Stop Sign], after rEFIt Installation

I was trying to install Windows on my MacBook Pro, Intel Based.
Followed this tutorial, http://riactant.wordpress.com/2009/02/25/install-windows-on-boot-camp-using-exte rnal-usb-optical-drive/
Downloaded and installed rEFIt and rebooted my MacBook Twice.
After rebooting twice, my MacBook no longer boots up.
It will stay at the apple logo until it turns into a stop sign, a circle with a slash across.
I have searched desperately for a method but came to no conclusion.
When i did command + s, It keeps saying "Searching for root device", or something along that line.
When I tried to boot from my Installation disc while holding down C.
I went into Disk Utility and my Mac HD was renamed to disk0s2.
I am very afraid that my data will be lost, all my freelance invoices and work will be gone.
I am unable to go into safe mode.
I am VERY sure this happened immediately after I installed rEFIt.
If only there's a way for me to somehow restore to the moment before I installed this software.

If you've never backed anything up because you weren't expecting to need backups, you would have lost all your data sooner or later no matter what else you did. Fooling unnecessarily with rEFIt just brought it about a little sooner.
Replace your hard drive before messing around with it any more. Once you get a new drive installed and your machine back up and running, mount the old one in an external enclosure and see whether data recovery software can salvage any of your files.
Data Rescue: http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
FileSalvage: http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id= 1
Both utilities are offered in demo versions that will show you what the full version could recover before you have to pay for anything.

My Mac OS Lion 10.7 FileVaulted HD does not boot, prohibitory sign, stop sign appears some minutes after boot starts. Disk Utility repair shows four error messages:
Unable to bootstrap transaction group 2517: inconsistent crosscheck
No valid commit checkpoint found
The volume xxxxxxxxxxxxxx(here it shows physical volume number) was found corrupt and can not be repaired.
Problems were encountered during repair of the partition map
Error: Storage system verify or repair failed.
(the same with 2518, 2519 and 2520 transaction group)
I suppose it is serious bug in Mac OS Lion managing FileVault and wonder what the help could be?

Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
Best of luck

When i try to play Music or a video the volume comes up with full bars and a stop sign, how do i get back my volume?

When i try to play a music or video or anything the volume bars come up full but with a stop sign underneath, i don't know how to get back my sound.

The way that usually works best is to move the entire iTunes folder folder from the current location to X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of the external drive.
If you moved the iTunes Media folder "by hand" instead of using iTunes to relocate the media folder then:
Move the main iTunes folder to X:\iTunes
Move iTunes Media inside it as X:\iTunes\iTunes Media
Press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes
Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library.
(If iTunes opens normally/with an empty library close it and go back to step 3)
Click choose and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
If you still have a problem try my script FindTracks.

Stop sign in the start process of process chain

Hi Team,
We are seeing a 'stop sign' in the Start process of a 'Process Chain'. Normally there's a green tick. Any idea why ? We did manually post a day's data.
Thanks,
R T

option 1. right click and display all jobs. If you see two released jobs, delete one of them. Also check the validity on the user-id of the scheduled job.
option 2. activate & schedule the pc again. If it still shows red stop. right click & get more info from the message long text. May be the start process is deleted somehow.

After Loading Lion I now get 5 windows w/ a graphic of a Red Stop sign with an ! mark and the following text message: "DAVE Networking Dave kernel extensions could not be loaded! Error 71 - Too many levels of remote in path."

After Loading Lion I now get 5 windows w/ a graphic of a Red Stop sign with an ! mark and the following text message:
"DAVE Networking
Dave kernel extensions could not be loaded! Error
71 - Too many levels of remote in path."
I have uninstalled DAVE and used Clean App to remove trace elements of program, however I still get the message and am unable to eliminate the error messages. When I click OK the message goes away briefly and then comes back up.
Any solutions would be great.

Dave,
Thanks....What I did was load the free eval version of Dave 9.0 and then used the uninstaller which must have deleted the kernel giving me the problem.
Thanks for the response.

Impossible to stop signing into AIM on 1.4.1.1

Hi,
I seem to have a similar issue as reported by some in 1.3.1 ("Upon trying to add the AIM account, the spinner just kept going on signing in."). While I do see my contacts and can chat on the Pre with AIM, there is no option to sign out because it never stops signing in.
This is very annoying while I am at my computer. Please tell me there is a fix coming soon or I will have to disable AIM, which is not cool.
Thanks,
Adam

1) For the first time which you are login with Microsoft Account, you will need Internet Connect to authenticate your access , however once you successfully logged in with Microsoft Account once, then you could login with same account even without internet
connection. However if you change your password for Microsoft Account it only effect when you connect to internet.
2) You don't need to switch your account, you just need to login with Microsoft Account only for Store and then install your Apps while you are using your local account.

Wont boot - Stop sign at boot

Hi!.
I have a iMac G5 "20 2.0 GHz Intel, and when i boot does just a Stop Sign up.
Ive tried to use Disk Utility and boot form SL disk and i wont reinstall due to very inportant files that is not backuped (Family pictures and family videos).
Post if you have a solution or you need some more details!.
Plz post ASAP
-- Guru IPB

You have, as you say, an intel Mac, but are posting on the G5 Mac page. I will ask that your post be moved.
Try using Disk Utility to repair your drive:
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
