Unable to Boot MBP after OS X update
Hey Guys,
i tried to update from Tiger to Snow Leopard and midway it said it couldn't be done. I now get the gray apple screen and then it turns off after about 20 seconds. I have tried booting from the Tiger and Leopard install discs but have been unsuccessful saying that the drive im trying to use is un-useable.
also tried repairing the disc but half way through it said it couldn't do that either.
any ideas or should i just back up and take it into the store?
the boot disc's arn't my original ones either, i had to borrow some as i lost my original tiger install discs.
Anti-Everyday:
the snow leopard dics is just an retail update.
What message do you get when you boot from the SnowLeopard disk? You normally need to have Leopard installed to be able to install from the Snow Leopard upgrade disk, although I have read of users who have upgraded from Tiger with that disk.
In terms of purchasing Leopard, some users have been able to get it from Apple Phone Sales 1-800-692-7753 or from your local Apple Store, as they have limited quantities from time to time. You can get it on eBay, but the prices are prohibitive. You would be better off getting the boxed set of Snow Leopard instead of paying that much for Leopard on eBay.

Powerbook unable to boot succesful after OS X update
Hi, I hope some one can tell me what to do.
I had done a regular software update, which this time was OS X. After finishing download, follow the instruction to reboot, I couldn't go back it. The powerbook display a gray screen with apple logo, and a spinning wheel. It never get pass this. I tried to boot in safe mode (using holding shift key), but no difference. How can I solve this problem?
powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)Hi tiny_whale and welcome to Apple Discussions.
How long did you leave it on the 'spinning wheel' page? The last SW update, 10.4.8, did take a long time to configure and restart - like several minutes with a double restart. Try booting and leaving it for 5-10 minutes.
Good luck,

Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update
My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
Any suggestions?Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel. -
Unable to boot up after driver update on X200 - please help!!
When I boot up now my screen goes to "Windows XP," then hangs on a blank blue screen (not BSD) - won't go any further. Scoured other forums and have not found a solution - tried:
1. Disabling VT-d in BIOS
2. Loading defaults in BIOS
3, boot into diagnostics from BIOS
4. Removed primary battery *have not yet tried removing backup battery)
How do I boot windows XP in safe mode using this computer?
Also tried F11 *disk doctor" - it would not launch.
This all happened as I was configuring my system today for the first time (relatively new system) and performed many driver updates - did this one by one and things were going fine. Then, I discovered the ThinkPad System Update package - installed this and then it scanned automatically for driver updates - I did three at once (I think one was finger print reader drive, one AMT 4.2, and the other some Microsoft hotfix) - after this, no starting up. I know there's a BIOS update to do (3.11 - I have 3.10) and I have created the boot CD for this though don;t have my base station/CD with me so I have to wait to try this until tomorrow.
Any ideas? Please help - this is insane, and I am kicking myself as I knew I should have kept doing these one by one and I also need a good imaging program to create images after each successful update so I could just roll back on an unsuccessful one - is there a "SuperDuper!" imaging program for Windows ("SuperDuper! Is the one I use for Mac)?
Thank you.Nvidia's official site. I don't know if I am allowed to send links on this site so I am not going to do that.
Anyway, I tried to contacted the apple on 16'th and just got a response a few minutes ago.Unfortunately then I had to reinstall my mountain lion all over again by recovery. Well, I lost many stuff but 'Hey! Mountain Lion got much faster for some reason so, I'm not complaining.
Thank you for your reply. -
Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update (Couldn't fix it)
Hi there,
I also have been experiencing some problems after running Software Update (Security update + Java) a couple of days ago. Similarly to Jandaf (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9000023) I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. Based on the information provided in this forum I have tried some procedures which didn't solved my problem so far. Below I describe I have tried:
1) I have booted using the installation DVD and run the disk utility. When performing the First Aid/Verify Disk I found some errors ('Invalid node structure'). But I couldn't fix the problem using disk repair (same problem 'Invalid node structure' 'Volume check failed'.
2) I also tried to boot in single user mode (command + s) to run fsck -fy. It didn't work. I got the following message (last 4 lines):
CSRHIDTTransitionDriver::probe: -s
CSRHIDTTransitionDriver::probe: booting in single user .. do not match
Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyboard" has no kernel dependency.
Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCEventDriver" has no kernel dependency.
3) When trying to boot in safe mode. I got a grey screen with the following message:
'You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button".
4) I also tried to 'Archieve & Instal'. Again no success. After reading the DVD the action is terminated because some errors (does not specify).
5) I also tried the 'German Medicine' (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8728797#8728797) (i.e. Connect the 'problematic MacBook' to my old G4 via firewire and reinstall the 2009-001 update). Again no success. The G4 cannot mount the MacBook hardrive.
I don't know what to do any more.
A) Can I resuscitate my old system? If yes how?
B) If not, can I at least save the data I have in my old HD?
C) Is it possible to format and reinstall the OS or is this this computer doomed?
Apologies for writing so many questions but I'm really freaking out!
Thank you.
B.Hi BDAqua,

OSX cannot boot-up after installing Security Update 2008-008
Hi Everyone.
I'm using a MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 3GB RAM with Tiger 10.4.11.
After installing Security Update 2008-008, my OSX was not able to boot-up. The screen shows the Apple Logo and the spinning grey gear wheel. It stayed that way for several hours.
I finally switched it off and re-installed OSX 10.4.8 using the Start-up disk that came with my MacPro.
Now I've updated the OSX, all the software & updates EXCEPT Security Update 2008-08. My MacPro works fine now.
Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
Sincerely,
AzmanWas Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
Probably not directly. Very likely something was not quite right on your computer before the update and the update happened to exacerbate that. A number of people feel that optimizing the maintenance of your computer before doing the update and doing the update under controlled conditions minimizes problems.
There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility.
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe. -
Unable to boot Powerbook after updating to 10.4.9
Hi Folks,
Really hope someone can help me. I have a 12 inch Powerbook , G4, 1.5 GHz. 1.25 Gb RAM, 100 Gb hard drive, Superdrive, running OS X 10.4 Tiger.
I purchased the machine in mid 2005 and have had no problem reunning it. The computer came with OS X 10.4.0 installed. I have regularly updated it as Software Update recommends.
Several days ago, the computer crashed while using Safari to browse the internet. When I attempted to reboot I prgresed through the grey screen with the spinning cog to the Mac OS X startup screen and ended up freezing at a blank blue screen with a mouse curser. After much fiddling around with Disk Utility and the install disk's I was able to re-install 10.4.0 from the disk and eventually got the machine restarted. It was slow and regularly crashed whenever I ran programs, especially sofware update. I manually downloaded the OS X 10.4.9 combo update for Power PC and installed it. Was very slow going and hung up at the end for a long time but eventually seemed to work and the computer reset but froze at the grey screen. Since then I have been unable to progress past the initial grey screen with the apple logo. No spinning cog, no blue screen. I am unable to start it in safe mode, single user mode, verbose mode or even pressing down C to get to the disk utility. When I restart it with the installation disk in the drive, I am able to get to the install menu and run disk utility from there but it has a disk management tool error when attempting to verify or repair definitions. Repair Disk says there are no errors. I have reinstalled 10.4.0 from the disk three times but no change. I have about 2Gb of space free and the rest is filled with stuff I really don't want to delete. Plus I can't get access to the hard drive to delete things anyway.
Any suggestions? Safe mode doesn't work, Verbose or single user dont work, disk utilities don't help and I don't have another Mac I can do a Targeted restart from. Prefer not to do an erase and install as I'll lose 93 Gb worth of files.No backup, mate? Tsk, tsk. Now that I got that out of the way, on to the problem.
First thing to try is zapping the PRAM: restart, holding down the CMDOPT+PR keys until you get at least three bongs, then let go.
Boot the machine with the Apple Hardware Test disk that came with the machine and run the extended tests. If the machine passes those, boot the machine normally and see if that fixes things.
If these don't work, I strongly suggest getting an external FireWire HD, boot with the install disks, use Disk Utility to format the HD, selecting Mac OS Extended, click on Options, select zero out data, and click on the erase button. When that's finished, install Tiger onto it, and see if it successfully boots the machine.
Enough for now, that should keep you busy for awhile. Come back with what works or doesn't work. Time to hit the sack. -
firefox message comes up every time I try to get on the interner with firefox. I received an email about two weeks ago from Mozilla advising me to download the updated firefox program. I have not been able to get to firefox since. I have tried to delete mozilla from my computer and get the message that I must reboot the system. I get the same message when I try to get on the internet with firefox. STATEMENT IS "Your computer must be restarted to complete previous upgrade of Firefox."
Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click firefox.exe: Run as Administrator).
If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

In addition, in order to disable sddm I downloaded latest Arch linux installation CD (2015.02.01) but I was unable to start PC with this version. Loading stuck after first 3 lines, after "triggering udevevents".
I had old version 2014.08 and it worked ok.
Thanks,
AlexeyI just wanted to echo eugeneyche's comment. I ran the same steps mentioned by ElectricPrism but that didn't really fix them. I had to add nomodeset to my kernel parameters. I now want to know what's really going on. For the record, this was my backtrace:

Booting error after post-install update [Solved]
hi
Been using Linux for a while, but wanting to learn rather than just use, so decided to give Arch a go, after the review in LinuxMagazine.
Managed to install and boot into it after a few trial and error.
Ran "pacman -Syu"
pacman updated itself, then ran into the hotplug conflict. I took it from This thread that it was safe to accept to remove hotplug.
Ran "pacman -Syu" again
I then ran into the the error:
error: the following file conflicts were found
grub: /usr/share/grub: exists in filesystem.
Followed This thread and did
phrakture wrote:'mv' /usr/share/grub to something like /usr/share/grub-backup
Ran pacman -Syu again, this time, it ran properly (I think)
Rebooted the computer, ran into a kernel panic:
UFS: unable to mount root on unknown-block(0,0)
. Followed This thread and the wiki and edited the instruction on Grub's boot screen to set
root=/dev/hda1 ro
and added
initrd /initrd26.img
to the line uderneath.
this allows me to boot (sort off), but I then get the following error:
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
From there, I get what seems to be a limited shell (get the "#" sign but not the location I am in such as "root@archbox:#" which I would expect). Here, I am snookered. If I search the wiki for this message, I get one article which refers to Cups and is not relevant to the issue, as far as I can tell, and I do not get any joy from the forum either.
Reinstalling the system is not a problem, but I would rather understand what is happening before I do it, so that I can fix it if the issue reappears, and because it fits into the "learning" purpose of installing this distro.
Could someone guide me on my next step?
Thx

Thanks, that did it. Thought I had tired that as well, though, must have been tired and made some typos.....
On a sidenote, it seems that after the install, there was "/dev/discs/disc0" then came the partitions: part1; part2; part3, which is now translated as hda1; hda2; hda3. I thought partitions started with hda0.. Am I wrong or is the way Arch auto-prepares the hard drive just skips the 0 partition? -
Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7 - unable to boot up after installing
Hi everyone, I really hope anyone can help me with this!!
Ok, I've always used Imageready CS2 to open avi files to edit then save as animation GIF without affecting quality (which part of PS CS2 that I did pay for) on my old laptop with Windows XP in the past.
Since then I've got a upgrade to PS CS5 (paid for) which I've installed successfully onto my new laptop with Windows 7 but till now, I'm dismayed to find that I'm unable to open avi files in PS CS5 just because I have 64 bit, not 32 bit even though I couldn't find the 32 bit program anywhere (apparently I found the 32 bit by searching in start up button but it still opens as 64 bit?).
So I thought I'd try installing PS CS2 into Windows 7 using my CD and found that the activation part doesn't work anymore which leads me to finding that I could download a copy of PS CS2 without the activation bit (yes I did the uninstall before installing PS CS2 without activation) everything was great BUT...untill I tried booting up my laptop next time, it wouldn't start up properly at all, it would only manage it to that Boot Screen Animation then blackness with the cursor in the middle or rarely to the log on screen that doesn't work but thats it so I had to do a system restore to get it back in working order minus the PS CS2
I thought it was the fault of other things I've downloaded at around same time like xvid decompressor codecs (so I could use VeeDub64) so I downloaded the codeces from different source and restarted to see if it boots up ok (it did) so I tried installing PS CS2 again but same thing happened on restart - failure to boot up and I had to do a few system restores (as some of the points didn't work ) before I barely got it back in working order yet again....
I see that some people have PS CS2 that works perfectly on Windows 7 with 64 bit because they changed the file path when installing the program? Or was I supposed to have the 32 bit program somewhere although maybe I don't have it since my PS CS5 is not extended? Would either of those work? To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to try as I may end up killing my laptop this time around and it's only around 2 years old!!
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!I'm happy to report that I've managed the resolve this issue of mine
After a little discussion with customer support through online chat today, I was still advised to try the uninstall and install to see what happens.
So I used the CC cleaner tool first, restarted then started by installing CS2 then CS5 using my serial numbers and made sure that I selected 32 and 64 bit programs to be installed
Anxiously, I restarted my laptop to see if it would reboot okay and thankfully it did *relief!*
Now I can open avi files using 32 bit of Photoshop CS5 without any problems (thank goodness!!)
I think I probably didn't install the 32 bit program when I first bought the installation CD, since I thought I didn't need it but never knew it was still required for editing avi files!!
Surprisingly, I still got to keep both versions of CS2 and CS5 this time around, as CS2 was simply replaced by CS5 when I first installed it two years ago....hmm.
So thank you again gener7! -
My macbook wont boot up after a software update (2/8/2012)
My MacBook Pro will not reboot after a failed software update that was attempted on 2/8/2012. I am not sure if other users have experienced similar issues. It will not go past the white screen. I have powered down the computer few times already to no avail. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Do the following:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
Pb won't boot up after routine software update
HELP!
Recently my PB has been giving me messages that my HD was almost full. I have erased and backed up some (but not all) files. I did a routine software update and after this the same message about my HD came up. My computer has not booted since then! I contacted apple and it seems that I will loose everything. I upgraded to Tiger and used that disk utility-it was "green" but when I went to try to do an archive and restore, it did not give me that option (unfortunately). Why?
Is it possible that the update extended me over the 10% needed for the system to work properly? If so, what can I do to save my files?

G4 will not boot up after installing latest update
Just installed latest OS 10 update (10.4.8 or 9?) Mac will not boot up. The ring sounds on start up and the apple shows on video but it never gets to the rotating circle. It has been over an hour. I have restarted twice to no avail. I have also disconnect all peripheral. Do you have any suggestions as to what to do next?
Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
Try a boot in safe mode (startup holding"shift" key after chime). This will help determine if you have conflicting drivers, fonts,etc. present, and helps bypass damaged software components:

If successful, run Disk Utility. If not, try a single user boot, and run fsck:

Alternatively, boot from your OS install disk, and run Disk Utility.
Post back with your results, please!
