Upgraded to mavericks and now the mac won't start.

It's looping between a grey screen that says "your computer restarted because of a problem..." and  code that says "panic CPU..."
I started disk utility and it says that my drive is unrepairable
Any advice?

You know what, I think I just solved the issue. Using media browser, I was able to import one MXF file because it combine all of the individual clips into one clip.

  • I deleted my extensions manager and now my Mac won't start up. Please Help!!

    I have an IMac, 24" model, running OS X. For the past several days, little warning windows have been popping up with this annoying beep, telling me that my computer was infected with various viruses. 4, to be exact. Also, while on the internet, random pop-up windows have appeared, so I thought I did have a virus. So, to correct the matter (or attempt to), I deleted my preferences folder from the system folder, as well as the extensions manager.
    Now, the computer won't start up past the white logo screen with the turning gear thingy. I've tried resetting the PRAM, and starting in safe mode, and safe mode with the progress screen, and even something there while holding the option key (that one gave me an icon of my HD, but clicking on it took me back to an endless wait on the white screen). I've tried starting from the disk that came with the computer (I held the C key) but not only doesn't the computer start from the disk, it spits the disk out. I don't understand. The computer was fine until I deleted the ext. mgr and preferences, so it can't be that the computer went bad or something.
    I don't know what else to do here. I do have an extended service warranty with Best Buy, but I wanted to see if there was some way to fix this before hauling this thing off to the store. Any suggestions? I'm desperate here, because anything and everything I've tried (based on all the try-this and try-thats I found on the internet), nothing has worked.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Well done! You've succeeded in turning your Mac into a useless brick.
    Deleting the System/Library/extensions folder and the associated manager removed most of the functionality from your OS.
    And all to get rid of what sounds like the MacDefender trojan or a variant.

    You may have a slim chance of recovering if it will still boot in Target Disc Mode; in which case you can use another Mac to install the system remotely.
    And I doubt your warranty with Best Buy is going to cover user "error."

  • HELP! I had a Flashback Trojan/Malware on my Mac, I deleted it in trash, and now my Mac won't start.

    At first my Mac Finder showed n81, n82, etc when you right-click it, instead of the commands " open new finder window", "hide" etc. I also noticed that sometimes, when I would go to sites such as facebook, it would redirect to a different site and I'd have to type in the address again to get to the site. Nothing else was wrong with it. Safari was not shutting down. It wasn't slow.
    I did some research and found that I probably have the Flashback Trojan/Malware virus (whatever that is?) And so I followed what some people did (which got their mac fixed) .. I downloaded clamvax and tinkertool to find the malware (hidden files) and I deleted it in trash.. my computer seemed fine but when I restarted it, it wont turn on anymore.. the screen remains blue, the mouse could still be moved, but it stays that way..
    did I lose all my files? am I being hacked as we speak? Is this virus very dangerous?! I am very paranoid and know nothing about this kind of stuff so please help!
    BTW, the malware was from the game Farm Frenzy.. I have no idea how I got this... I never play online games.

    @Thomas, Thanks for jumping in. I had to take my wife to a Doctor appointment and things went down hill from there.
    I note that you are using Mac OS X 10.5.x.  It's important to understand that the Java vulnerabilities that allowed this malware to get established on your machine cannot be fixed in 10.5.x.  You would need to upgrade to at least 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to be able to get a version of Java with those vulnerabilities fixed.  (Correct me if I'm wrong there, Al!)
    That's 100% correct. Natalia has the distinction of being the first OS X 10.5 user confirmed to be infected by Flashback as far as I can tell. That operating system is becoming increasingly dangerous as the days go by. The OS has not been updated since Aug 2009 and the last Security and Java updates were in June 2011. There is no XProtect system and more and more third party's have dropped support in updating their Applications.

    I actually ran disk utility, and it said that the Macintosh HD is fine... I also tried safe mode/safe boot and did the FSCK command.. even that said that my laptop was fine? but somehow it still stays blue when I start up!
    And I think it probably is fine, except that something is hanging during the initial loading process. Could be most anything.
    As for my files, I appreciate your advice but I am scared I might do something wrong and mess my laptop up even more!
    There is almost no chance of that and at this point it should be obvious to you that if the files on your laptop are that important, you should already have a backup.
    I will take it to Apple and hopefully they can help me... because it seems that my files aren't wiped out... yet... It still displayed that I had my files in there..
    One word of caution, then. I have been told that Apple has instructed their support folks not to attempt to clean up a malware infection. If I were you I wouldn't bring it up unless you have to.
    By the way, while the disk was running, it was making very loud noises.. humming/grinding/etc... what could this mean?
    Only one thing in my experience, you're hard drive is toast. All the more reason to try and get all the data you can off it immediately.
    The only way to test it is to do a surface scan which Disk Utility cannot do. You would need a third party utility to do that. If it tells you there are bad sectors, that is 100% proof that it's going bad, as modern hard drives repair themselves of bad sectors until they run out of reserves to substitute.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks and now the links in my emails appear with down arrow and double cling won't take me to the link. What's up with that?

    When I click on the down arrow to the right of the link it shows me the link in a pop-up viewer sort of thing but I can't type in it or click in it. When I double click the link nothing happens. When I click on open in safari nothing happens though it looks like the computer is switching out of mail. I rebooted, I reopened mail... no joy.
    Thanks for any help.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks and now the scoll on my trackpad won't work. It works in Chrome, the finder, or MS suite. Only FF doesn't work.

    The question has pretty much all the details. I'm running latest FF and Mvericks and the scroll/backward/forward function in the trackpad doesn't work. I can scroll in any other program, just not FF.

    Why did you wipe the drive?
    Were you having problems?
    If you were those problem may be related to a failing hard drive and that is why the TM backup could be restored.
    In you topic header you say the system won't boot from the SL DVD, But it di for you to wipe the drive. Then it should again boot from the SL DVD.
    Insert the DVD and reboot, hold down the Option key and select the Optical drive, SL DVD, as the Boot source.

  • I have just  upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain files. These JPG's  are there on my hard drives however . I rely heavily on the search facility and this is slowing me down.

    I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain JPG 's . These files do exist however I can find them manually . I rely on the search facility and this is slowing me down, I am having to trawl through stuff to find the file I want , before I would put in part of the title and the machine would find it.

    In addition to what Allen says, you may find these search tools helpful:

  • I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files.  The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB.  How do I solve problem?

    I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
    To resolve the problem, I used  Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
    Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
    You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
    Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.
