Unable to restart after OS 10.5 upgrade

Greetings,
I just recently attempted to install OS 10.5 on my G4 AGP. I've got a Sonnet Encore 1.8 Ghz processor and plenty of RAM. After receiving a "Successful Installation" message from my computer, I clicked the button to restart the computer. The computer restarts, and a few moments after the gray screen with the apple logo appears, the computer unexpectedly turns itself off. What's going on and what can I do to fix it?

Which installation option did you use? Simplest is to boot into the bootable backup/clone of your Tiger installation, wipe the Leopard installation, and redo it using the Erase & Install, followed by using the Migration Assistant, transferring your user and other apps/data. If you failed to make the backup/clone, your only option is to boot with the Leopard install disk and try an Archive & Install installation.

  • I'm unable to restart after 10.9.2 upgrade

    My 2011 17" MacBook Pro is unable to start up at all.
    It starts up for several seconds showing Apple logo but after that the screen goes light gray (the start-up process background color).
    Same thing happens with several alternate start-up HD's.
    I'm also unable to start in safe mode.

  • Unable to restart after software update 10.3.1.1779

    I am unable to get  my Z10 to restart after this update.
    I have searched endless avenues and have now resorted to deleteing the notifcations for this update when they come in, I have downloaded and installed it, but when asked to restart, my phone stalls on the loading screen forever, the longest I have waited for it to restart is 3 days, with 24 hours of that on 99%.
    I am now the but of all phone related jokes as everyone I know has an IPHONE that works perfectly, but I insist on keeping this awful Z10 becuse I dont want to join their rank....too tink I spent £500 on this when it came out (more fool me)
    It would seem that the general consensus is, I will have to go to the inconveience of taking my Z10 in to a phone shop, were they will send it off to BB for the update to be installed.
    PS; Blacberry's forum is as hard to navigate as the phone is to actually get working proberly.

    This has been the worst software update I have ever encountered. My Q10 is completely unreliable and I am going to switch to another device in the morning. I have restored factory settings and have successfully wiped the app to sync my shared Google Calendars, the z and y keys have swapped on my keypad and the Q10 still turns itself off arbitrarily, wipes all text and phone messages and can't recall what network I'm on or what my home wifi settings are.

  • Unable to restart after upgrade!

    Hi
    I've just installed the latest upgrades, firstly none of the apps would open so I closed it down and now I get a message saying 'You need to restart your computer'. I've tried command 'p' 'r' etc but it just won't start.
    Please help me someone. This has taken me all morning and I must leave for work now.

    Thanks Mihalis & Federico, I've tried everything as suggested but whatever I do I just get the restart message. The install DVD is still inside the computer & won't eject, disc repair & disc permissions are showing no faults found and it takes forever to get it to restart. No matter what key I hold down on start-up the chime is almost silent & the restart message appears after a few minutes. It's now back in the box as I've lost a day's work messing with it so I'll be taking it back to the supplier tomorrow for them to fix.
    Thanks again for trying to help me out.
    By the way, this is the second time I've had problems updating multiple applications at the same time (10.4.8, iPhoto 6.0.3, iDVD, 6.0.3 & iTunes 7.0.1). I'll be doing them one at a time in future.

  • Unable to start after Windows 7 Pro upgrade, am I crazy?

    I'm now on my fourth try and I'm about to lose my patience.
    I purchased a T400 6475-B14 with Vista, 32 bit.  I purchased a copy of Windows 7 Professional upgrade.  I am installing the 64 bit disc.  Currently the machine has 2GB of ram, but I ordered 4GB (2X2GB) of RAM from Lenovo and it should be here in a few days.  Additionally, since the machine is still under warranty Lenovo is sending me the restore discs (I think that's what they are called) and they should be here in a few days as well.
    On my three previous attempts I upgrade the OS and everything seems to be fine.  However when I go to the Lenovo site it can't detect my system.  That seems a bit odd, but I can deal with it.  I put in all of the machine info and download the Toolbox.  Once I did that tells me to download the System Updater, but for some reason it forwards me to the link for Vista/XP.  I then manually find the System Updater, Win 7 64 bit, download and install it and it finds and installs the PowerManager, Connections, Recovery and Repair, etc.
    I don't seem to have any problems until I shut down the machine.  When I go to restart, the machine hangs at the 4 color Microsoft logo.  After a few minutes (5-10) it gives me the option to try and restore to a previous point and fix the machine.  However each time it tells me that the system is unable to repair itself.  I then reboot and hit the F11 button at the THINKPAD screen and restore to a previous version. 
    Last night, after the two previous restorations failed to give me a stable machine I completely reinstalled the OS.  Everything seemed to be working fine again.  However this time I rebooted after each update, to see where the problem might be.
    I had downloaded all of the System updater info except for the R & R and C++.  I installed C++, but it didn't require a restart.  I think installed the R & R, installed it and then machine rebooted.
    Then the same thing happened again!!!!!!!!
    I went into the diagnostics and it came the the following:
    Root Cause Found:
    A recent driver installation or upgrade may be preventing the system from starting.
    Repair Action: System Restore
    Result: Failed.  Error code = 0x1f
    Repair action: System filed integrity check and repair
    Result: Failed.  Error code = 0x490
    Time taken = 945178ms
    I'm going to re-install Windows 7 again, but this is starting to really drive me crazy (granted it's a short road, but still!).
    Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?  I'm not trying to do anything crazy and I'm following the instructions to the letter but I still can't seem to get my system to work!!!!!! 
    Any/all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    GBA

    Hi,
    You are doing (trying to do) exactly what I did when I punted Vista (good riddance!) and updated to Win 7 Pro 64 on my T400.  I don't see anything obvious that you are doing wrong.  Here's what I did:
    Installed Win 7 upgrade as a clean install. Then ran Windows update.  Then installed ThinkVantage System Update for Win 7, and let it do its thing,  No problems.
    Is that the updater you installed?

  • T430s unable to restart after Windows Update

    I'll start with the short version. I just got my ThinkPad T430s, so there were a lot of Windows Updates to install. After one batch, I am no longer able to restart the machine. When I click Shut Down, Restart or Log Out, the desktop disappears, but instead of bringing up the "Shutting Down..." screen, it just shows the desktop background indefinitely until I power down by holding the power button. I have been unable to figure out what is causing this, how to fix it, or which Windows Update was the cause.
    Longer version:
    I upgraded my machine from Windows 7 Home to Pro. After a series of Updates the problem started. I tried a lot of things, then decided to try reinstalling Windows. Again, it happened after a large chunk of Windows Updates. I have tried a million things. System Restore points don't fix it. "Clean Boot" doesn't fix it. Uninstalling Windows Updates doesn't fix it. Eventually I tried to use the Lenovo recovery CD, but it turns out the recovery partition only contains one of the 4 CDs you use. You don't find this out until you get an error that says "You have inserted the wrong disk" which occurs AFTER the recovery software has wiped all your partitions. So now my recovery partition is gone as well. My current plan is to install Windows fresh to hold me over until Lenovo can ship me the full set of recovery CDs, but if anyone has any ideas for what might be causing this no restart problem, I would appreciate it.

    kb2647753 seems to be the problem child.

  • IMac unable to restart after downloading latest software update (including iTunes 11.2)

    My system is a mid-2007 iMac (Intel) with latest software updates always promptly installed (OSX Mavericks, etc) and 320 GB internal HD, 4GB Ram.
    Today the software updater informed me that an update to iTunes was available and so I allowed it to download the update and then restart the computer. The restart was not successful - the computer display will show the status window progressing as the update is installed and then nears completion, but will freeze at the apparant point of completion and the restart will not complete. I tried restarting several times and it always hangs up and does not complete.
    I then ran the Disc Utilities program - first time I ran it, it identified disc problems with the internal HD  and proceeded to repair them. Following that I trried to restartt and it ran into the same difficulties and did not restart. Subsequently I ran disc utilities and it reports the internal HD to be fine. I've also tried several times to boot the computer and restore from my Time Machine backups and it will not complete the restore. I do get to the screens where I can select the volume to restore from, the volume to restore to, and so forth. After these efforts were not successful, I finally tried to re-download OSX and do a clean system restore, it progressed nearly to completion and then aborted the system installation without completing.
    Since having this problem I've therefore been unable to use the computer in Mac mode. I had just about concluded that my hard disc must be replaced, when I decided to see if I could restart running Windows (bootcamp), and I was able to do that successfully. The hard disc is therefore not damaged, or at least the partition of the hard disc used by Windows is not damaged.
    Is my most likely option to replace the hard disc or is there something I can still do, in order to see if the hard disc can be restored using a saved backup, before I replace it?
    I have the further complication of finding that the Apple store will not replace the hard disc for my computer because it is over 5 years old. I can probably locate a shop such as Best Buy locally who can do that, or I can simply purchase an external hard disc and use that as my primary hard disc until I either replace the internal hard disc or simply replace the computer. Since it is a 7 year old iMac, it would not be surprising to have to replace the hard disc after this length of time. I also see that there are instructions available online to explain how to replace the internal hard disc myself, but I'm unsure at this point whether or not I want to do it myself.

    Lacking any responses to my initial post above, I will briefly update how I resolved this issue today.
    Installed new external hard disc, 1 TB WD My Passport for Mac, and straightforward setup involving first installing current OS X operating system, then system migrator utility to rebuild the same setup as saved in latest Time Machine backup. The whole process was somewhat time consuming due to my internet connection speed and USB data transfer speeds but it went without any issues. The computer now boots up and operates identical in all respects to how it did before the problem occurred.
    Regarding the internal HD of my iMac, if I now run Disc Utility to verify the disc, it reports "appears to be OK". However, viewing the disc usage in "About This Mac" window, it displays as entirely empty. Opening it in the finder also shows only a "Apple Hot News.mbox" file and a single .jpeg image, and .nothing else.
    Interestingly, the Bootcamp partition of my iMac's internal HD continues to work fine and appears unaffected by the problem. I use bootcamp rarely but still will plan to set up a replacement bootcamp volume on the new hard disc soon, in order to take its place.
    That the problem surfaced coincident with the software update may have been nothing more than bad luck? At this point I have no reason to suspect that the softward update had anything to do with the difficulties.

  • Macbook won't restart after Safari 3.1 upgrade

    I followed the prompts to install the Safari 3.1 update yesterday. Now my MacBook won't restart ... the spinning gear spins forever, even when I try to start in safe mode. (I was really patient, but after 7 hours it's probably not just checking directories.) Single-user mode boot also fails. How screwed am I? And I don't even use Safari!

    It sounds like there is directory corruption. Might have been present before the Safari 3.1 upgrade. However, the upgrade, which updates the WebKit files, may have triggered the corruption.
    Logical next step would be to Archive and Install the Operating System. If you have Disk Warrior, then I'd try that first - it's quite the marvel for fixing directory problems not recognized by Apple's Disk Utility. If you are not familiar with the Archive process, another suggestion would be to bring your machine to an Apple Store>Genius Bar, if there is one in your area, or to a certified Apple Tech.

  • Unable to restart after software update

    the last 2 times that i have installed "restartable" updates from the "software update" option i have been unable to start my computer without having to boot from my Snow Leopard install disc and reinstall it. has anyone else come upon this issue?
    when it goes to reboot, it loads like normal but the grey apple turns into a crossed out circle. like a no smoking sign minus the cigarette. haha
    anyway, any help would be much appreciated!

    I haven't had that problem myself, but the next time you're led to reinstall Mac OS X, once you pass the language selection screen you should see a "Utilities" menu bar item that will let you run Disk Utility. Do that and invoke "Repair Disk" and "Repair Permissions", then see if you're able to boot from your internal disk.

  • EBS 12.1.3 unable to restart after a successful installation

    Hi all,
    I've installed the EBS 12.1.3 template following the instructions in this guide: http://www.pythian.com/blog/build-ebs-sandbox-1hr. By the way, it's a charm not using VM Server/Manger... ;)
    Directly after the installation, I'm able to access to EBS; the login page is available and I can logon into the app.
    The problem is, after a reboot of the APPS template, I'm unable to log again.
    At the startup, at the step Starting ebizapps, I have the following error:
    /u01/E-BIZ/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSbydb_atgtxk02.env: line 31: /u01/E-BIZ/inst/apps/mydb_atgtxk02/ora/10.1.2/mydb/atgtxk02.env: No such file or directory
    It is true I do not have /u01/E-BIZ/inst/apps/mydb_atgtxk02/ora/10.1.2/mydb as a directory. Into /u01/E-BIZ/inst/apps/mydb_atgtxk02, I only have admin directory.
    I can't explain how after a successful login, a reboot of the EBIZ app template messes up the all thing.
    Thanks,
    Jay.

    Jay
    Edit /u01/startapps.sh  and stopapps.sh
    Add VIS to the environment lines " . /u01/E-BIZ/apps/apps_st/appl/APPS*.env"
    Change to => ". /u01/E-BIZ/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSVIS*.env"
    I had the same problem found the solution here...refer to the Fix Environment File section of the following

  • Won't Sleep only Restart after 10.6.6 upgrade

    Since the upgrade (via Software Update) to 10.6.6 I put my Mac Pro to sleep like normal (Apple icon, select Sleep) and the machine goes into sleep mode, screen goes off and sleep light comes on.
    When I click the mouse to wake it again, the machine restarts and I have to log back in. Obviously I've the workspace I had. The sleep light is on all the time prior to my clicking the mouse button to wake it.
    Any help with this would be appreciated. Until this update I never had a problem with sleep mode and used it day in, day out. Thanks.

    First, use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    Then download the 10.6.6 Combo update, from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse,Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.

  • Unable to restart after a Security update failed to completely download.

    I was downloading a security update. It failed to completely download. When I tried to restart the computer, it will get up to the blue screen background of the user login page. It will not go any further. I tried using the >Shift< key to get it into a SAFE mode but nothing happens except the progress indicator revolves. Should it be revolving over 3 hours and still no progress is seen? Is there something else I can do? Is there Apple or 3rd party software that could perhaps fix it? Please help I don't want to start from the beginning and re-install everything.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    Try Disk Utility. You need your system restore disk.
    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.
    One reason that an update can't finish is that you didn't use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions before you ran the udpate. Second possibility is not enough free disk space. If you haven't upgraded the hard disk in your iBook, it probably has a 60GB drive or less. Never allow your free drive space fall below 20% of the total drive. This information can be viewed in Disk Utility at the bottom of the page with MacintoshHD 10.4 selected in the panel on the left.

  • Another "Unable to restart after intel update" (6/3/08)

    anyway, ran the update - no dice - grey screen...grey apple
    took someone's advice, ran the starup disk after trying cntl-v and cntrl-s (which just gave me a list of errors before restarting), so now i'm running the disk utility and it threw up "invalid node structure" at me followed immediately by "rebuilding catalog b-tree," then followed by ton of "invalid node structure" and the progression bar hasn't budged at this point
    ok - just got "first aid failed" - then - "volume could not be repaired because of an error"
    that's bad, right?
    Message was edited by: JtotheF

    The errors are most likely in the files not in the hardware, especially since this happened when you were doing a medium serious OS update. Once you are finished with the drive you can erase it and use it again. I think there is a write zeros option which will scan the hard disk for physical problems and will tell you if there are other issues. New hard disks also have SMART capability which is supposed to report impending failures (physical I believe, not in directory which is the problem you are having).
    I don't have any hands-on experience with DW in terms of telling you how long it will take. That would depend upon your computer speed, the size of the drive and the number of errors.

  • Macbook Air unable to restart after a "complete restart attempt"

    Hi,
    I wanted to get my Macbook Air cleaner to work easier this Summer. So I pressed : Command-R while restarting, and deleted the partition called "Macintosh HD". I'd already done it before, so I wasn't frightened at all. I turned the computer off again, and restarted it while pressing Command-R a second time. The fact is, it showed me exactly what I wanted to : The "livebox list". But my livebox wasn't in it, so, I restarted the computer after waiting a few minutes.
    When I pressed Command-R again, it showed me the Earth, turning, and a message saying it is actually looking for an update on Apple's server, but it may take time. After 2 seconds, the Earth stopped her rotation, got a big exclamation point on her face, and had written under her : "apple.com/support - 2006F".
    I looked for 4 hours, but nothing could help my Macbook to download Mavericks again.
    Thank you,
    Paul.
    NB : Sorry for this poor english D:

    Try this.  I am assuming your MBA came with Lion (10.7) or later.
    Boot the MBA withe the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys.
    This should result in a display with a revolving globe.
    This will connect you to the Apple servers and will determine what the original OSX was for your MBA.
    Follow the installation instructions.
    You will need a solid Internet connection.
    Ciao.
