Using the Safe Mode function on your PlayStation 3?
Safe Mode:
The option to use Safe Mode on the PlayStation 3 was introduced if a problem occurs where it will no longer start up normally.
To use this feature the console will need to have the System Software update 2.60 (or later).
When to Use Safe Mode?
When starting up the PlayStation 3, and the XMB menu no longer appears (you may see a wavy line on the background instead).
When the PlayStation 3 is started up, nothing appears on screen.
When the PlayStation 3 is started up and you encounter the following message ‘The Hard disk’s file system is corrupted and will be restored’. When selecting ‘OK’ the system restores and restarts, however the same message appears.
When the PlayStation 3 is started up and you encounter the following message ‘The Hard disk’s database will be rebuilt’. When selecting ‘OK’ the system begins the operation and then fails (stopping the restoration of the HDD).
There is an issue after the PlayStation 3 update process is started, or a rebuilding of the database occurs.
Safe Mode procedure:
1)    Ensure the PlayStation 3 is in standby mode (where the red light is apparent), and then turn the console off at the mains switch.
2)    Turn the mains power on, then while in standby touch and hold the power button.
3)    Keep your finger pressed on the power button (after 5 seconds you will hear a beep).
4)    After 10 seconds of holding your finger on the power button, you will hear a second beep and the console will shut down (you can remove your finger).
5)    Touch and hold the power button again.
6)    Again hold your finger down on the button until you hear another beep after 5 seconds.
7)    A number of seconds after this you will hear a double beep- you can remove your finger.
8)    You will be prompted to plug your controller in and press the PS button on your controller. After doing so you will access the Safe Mode menu with a number of options.
Safe Mode Option Screen:
Restart System
Selecting this option will start up the system normally- It will also allow you to exit the Safe Mode Menu.
Restore Default Settings
Selecting this option will restore Default settings on your console (when starting the unit you will be prompted to set time, time zone etc). This option will also delete your PlayStation Network account information from the system.
Your User information will be deleted and restored- the indicator will be an asterix by your username e.g. *RabidWalker.
When logging into your user you will encounter no issues with disc based games. However when attempting to play PSN downloaded games you may encounter the message:
‘To access the system, you must activate the system.
Go to [PlayStation Network] > [Account Management] to activate this system. (80029514). ’
Follow the instruction to activate your PlayStation 3 to play downloaded games (if the system is activated, deactivate and reactivate the system)
Restore File System
This option will begin a process to repair data on your Hard Disk Drive. Therefore it will check for any corrupted data and try and recover this. It the data cannot be recovered it may be erased to ensure that it does not interfere with the operation of the PlayStation 3.
Rebuild Database
If issues continue to persist and you select this option please note that data will be removed during this process.
The following information will removed:
-          Messages
-          Playlists
-          User changes to Information Screens
-          User changes to Picture under Photos
-          Video Thumbnails
-          Video Playback History
-          Video Resume Information
This process may take same time to complete
Restore PS3 System
The option to restore PS3 system is the same as the ‘quick format’ option on the XMB menu. It will reformat the HDD, removing all data and restoring the Hard drive to its original state.
System Update
Selecting this option will install the PlayStation 3 Update but only if the update is on an external media storage device plugged into the console.
This option can be used if any issues are encountered with the installation of the System software update.
If you have any queries regarding this or any other issues please PM me or catch me on Twitter

  • Why can't I open the Firefox4.0b8pre(Minefield) unless use the "safe mode" ? or it might show the crash windows?

  • Has anyone tried installing BC2.1 for Vista 64-bit in the Safe mode?

    Before I go ahead, has anyone attempted to install the BC2.1 64-bit update for Vista using the Safe mode?
    The thought occurred to me earlier, and before I bothered, I was wondering if it had been tried yet by anyone?
    As with most others with Vista 64 bit, the exe runs, asks for permission and then dies. Not even a whimper

    I attempted to install the BC2.1 in the safe mode, but it still did nothing.
    In the normal mode, viewing the Task Manager, when I click the update, after a long while the Task Manager shows a message, something to the effect, "BC2.1.exe is waiting for administrator approval."
    After I check the box in the approval window that it's OK to run, the warning in the Task Manager disappears and nothing reappears, meaning the process died.
    The system logs don't show very much, but I did not bother too much with them.
    This is an issue that Apple has to address. I am confident that they will.
    Meanwhile I will post a note on the developers board about it.
    http://developer.apple.com/contact/
    I presume when it's fixed, the update will show up in the Apple Software Update window, just as the XP update appeared on my other MBP.
    Until then, it's just a bit annoying.

  • I am running Windows XP PRO. Firefox 3.6 islisted in in my computer and I cannot delete it in the control panel using the Add of Delete Function. I have even gon into the safe mode and I still cannot delete it.

    I want to intall Mozilla Firefox 4. Will this delete the contents of Firefox 3.6? I was to the point that I was ready to Reboot the Whole system. I called Microsoft and they resolved the Silverstream issue. When in the control panel I click on the delete function all that is does is stay at Blue. It will not delete and it does not give me any message.

    The normal method is simply
    * Help -> Check for Updates
    on Firefox (Window XP)
    * see also [[Updating Firefox]]
    You should be able to delete Firefox and remove it, from your Windows XP control panel although that may not be what you intend.
    If you have doubts about compatibility stay with Firefox3.6 for now.
    Some software extensions will currently have problems with firefox 4 (and that iircc may include some versions of silverlight )
    Do NOT use any delete settings (or whatever it is worded) that will loose all your passwords and bookmarks.
    BTW the safe mode in relation to Firefox is a totally different concept from Windows safe mode, but you probably have no need to use either of them.
    * see also [[Safe Mode]]
    On an ordinary upgrade Firefox will preserve your profile details which include bookmarks any passwords.
    You should have no problems in installing Firefox 4. You should be able to install firefox 4, and retain any bookmarks etc that were used in firefox 3.6, but sometimes extensions may be incompatible.

  • Cannot use the F1-12 functions on my Satellite C55-A-19K

    Hello there
    Satellite C55-A-19K have an keyboard drivers?
    I cannot use the F1-12 functions and cannot get the wireless on since its on the keyboard...
    Can some 1 help please?

    Hi
    The basic setting on these models is that the special functions on the [F1]-[F12] keys are used without [FN].
    So for example activating / deactivating the touchpad is done from [F5] (not [FN] [F5])
    It is also possible to change this behaviour. Setting the Function-keys to traditional mode in the BIOS will revert back to the keys used along with [FN].
    So activating / deactivating the touchpad in traditional function key mode, requires [FN] [F5].
    So be sure to check your function key behavoiur - if you have set it to use [FN] first or not.
    And keep in mind that in case the current mode is not what you want, you may change it.
    Hope this helps

    theres nothing wrong with those readings m8.
     you have 2 processors because of hyperthreading. windows sees it at 2 separate cpus.  you external clock is your fsb, which should be 200. this is quadpumped so essentially it is 800mhz, then your current speed is your cpus clock speed and since you have a 3.2p4 E it tells you its running at 3200mhz = 3.2Ghz  

  • I am using a timed while loop and am unable to get the loop to run at a speed of less than 1ms (I am currently using the Wait(ms) function). How can I get a faster response?

    Andy,
    Unless you use a real time platform, getting extactly 1 ms loop rate
    (or even less) is impossible. It starts getting troublesome at about
    0.1 Hz for standard operating systems.
    I'd tackle your problem with "if i mod 10 == 0 then sleep 1 ms".
    Of
    course this is jerky by design.

  • Accessing PC6 and PC7 while using the handshaking-mode

    One feature I found - although it requires you to change album names - but if you on the settings part of iPod set the shuffle to songs, when you pick an album to play it will shuffle those songs. Now how do you apply this to what you want to do? Make your playlist and highlight all the songs and right click the mouse and choose "Get Info" and give them all the same album name. The only draw back is that this will cause the songs to loose their original album information. But when you play that album that you just "created" the iPod will shuffle the songs for you.

  • Could anyone help me getting out of the safe mode?

    Hello I am Vanessa and I do not know why the safe mode is turned on when I tried to screen capture a photo... I do not know if the following incident was related to the issue... I used my phone when my hands were a little bit wet this afternoon and nothing had happened at first. Then, the lower volume button was acting a bit strange. I do not know if this is related to the safe mode issue. Please help or at least tell me ways to get out of the mode first... Thank you very much. Sorry for my poor Enhlish as it is not my mother tongue.

    It seems that the volume down button is short(same to be pressed) by the water in the "accident". Thus, the phone will go to safe mode when you turn on and you found that the volume down action seems to be strange. You just need to wait the water disappear(it may take very long time, maybe several days or some weeks later) or using the hair dryer to blow on the volume down button to get rid of the water. However, you need to take extra care to do so since the hot air may damage the other parts(screen, the shielding of the case, etc.) on your phone easily.

  • Reading a binary file using the type cast function is not working

    Hello
    I am trying to read a binary file.  Using the Read from binary file and type cast functions I can actually get the information from the file.
    I set an indicator in the “Normal” option in Properties. I can read the header and footer but not the body of the file; For the body of the file all I can see is characters of the type
    “C¾ Ü Qþ  X@ “. One of the other options, Password, seems to provide an output of just the characters that were originally written, but then again, I can not read the characters because it is only asterisks and I can not copy them onto a word processor either.
    I tried setting the indicator in Hexadecimal mode, then creating a local variable that acts as a control and use the type cast function again to see if  could convert the Hexadecimal string to readable ASCII characters; unfortunately, this did not work either.
    I don’t know what else I should try or if there is something that I may not be doing right and for that reason I am not getting the desired results. I hope someone has an idea about this issue.
    Regards,
    Roberto

    Thank you for your reply,
    Well, actually I don’t have any information about this file. I will try to obtain information about it though.
    This is a file that contains velocity information; there are 65 channels that form a velocity profile in a pipe. Also, there are 4096 velocity profiles. I don’t know what is the format of these values.
    The software that creates the file provides a text file. Using this text file the velocity information can be processed and then plotted.
    I want to avoid all these intermediate steps and read, process and plot everything using only LabView. BTW, I am using LabView 8.2

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

  • Is there any way to create a circular buffer using the INSERT ARRAY function?

    I saw the example using the REPLACE ARRAY function, but it uses too much CPU power on my laptop. I'm using it for a very sensitive application and saw that the INSERT ARRAY function used much less CPU power.
    I am also not wiring the index on the INSERT ARRAY function so that whatever is read from the buffer is added to the array.
    However, since it is not indexed, I don't know how to set the "write" index back to 0 when it reaches a certain sized array (ie 1000 elements). I was looking for an array property node, but couldn't figure out if one exists for the "current write index".
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    I will try to answer this question to my best understanding. I apologize if I interpreted the question wrong.
    You are using the "Insert Array" vi without wiring the index. By doing that, new elements will be added (appended) to the array.
    If you just want to know the current index to stop your acquisition when the array reach certain amount of elements, then you can use the "Array Size" vi to keep track of the size of the growing array. Remember that Array Size = last index + 1 because the index start at zero.
    A second option is that you may want to start over the array when it hits the maximum number of elements that you will allow. If that's the case, then you may want to re-initialize the array to a NULL state by stablishing a condition (for example, when the
    size of the array is 1000, re-initialize). I provided an example attached to this message showing how this can be accomplished. In the example, an 1D array grows in size using the "Insert Array" vi and inserting a random number. When the array reach 4 elements, it is re-initialized. You can expand this example by saving the array first to a file or some other holder before re-initializing the array. The example is in LabVIEW 6.
    Finally, if you want to replace the current values with new values, I think you do not have other choice but to use the "Replace Array" vi.
    Hope this can be of help.

  • Elements 12 Organizer crashes every time I try to use the Photo Mail function. Has anyone else come across this bug?

    I highlight the photos I want to share, go to Photo Mail, select the addressees and press "Next". I then get the error message: "Elements Organizer has stopped working" and I have to close the program down.
    This is obviously a bug in the program and needs fixing. Has anyone else encountered it and found a solution. (I might add that the same crash happens if I try to use the "Email attachments" function.)

    Hi,
    Are you running on a Windows system?
    If so, use the windows explorer to navigate to one of the following files according to your system.
    64bit system: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    32bit system: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
      Right click on that file and select Run as Administrator then try your email again.
      You should only have to do this once.
      Good luck

  • After installing 3.6 FF won't open even in the safe mode, I click on the icon and nothing happens at all

    I installed 3.6 and now FF won't open even in the safe mode. I restored my computer setting back to where I was running 3.5.13 but it still doesn't work...some files must have been deleted when I upgraded that weren't put back even when going back to the older version but I have no idea what to look for or what to do even if I find them. Can you please help me?

    Using system restore can create problems as well as solving them. I have seen system restore destroy a Firefox setup. The installation may be OK but to be sure perform a clean install
    # [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox Uninstall Firefox]
    # Delete the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation directory], default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    # Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ and install it
    If Firefox still does not start, try creating a new profile folder. Firefox stores user data in a profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows].
    If the new profile works, you can copy selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile]. Do not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install any add-ons.
