VPN Startup problem after a reboot - a work-around

Hi Folks.
I'm posting this info for those that have problems with Mac OS X 10.4.x server, running a VPN.
(Seems to affect OS X 10.4.4 - 10.4.7 from what I've tested).
I've discovered that lots of people are having troubles after they reboot such a server... The VPN service is running, but if you try to VPN into the server, it won't "authenticate" properly.
I found simply Stopping the VPN service, and then Starting the VPN service, fixes the issue.
That's good to know... But what if you're at home when you discover the VPN isn't running properly? Read on...
Now, while only a work-around... It's enough to get many people running on their VPNs again.
What about automating the process? I'm glad you asked...
Since ServerAdmin commands can be run from Terminal, you can automate a command to run at set periods. I'm no "terminal guru", so I've just set a scheduled task in Remote Desktop 3, to send some unix commands to my VPN server.
The commands are simply as follows, and you need to specify in Remote Desktop, that they run as User: root.
The commands to run:
serveradmin stop vpn
serveradmin start vpn
Set that to run periodically (e.g. once a week, if you reboot your VPN server weekly, for example), and you're set.
(I set this up on a server admin workstation on the LAN, in a secure room, which is always on, with Remote Desktop running).
I'm sure there are probably other ways of scripting such a stop/restart -- perhaps if you have some other ideas, you could post them here?
Hope this info helps someone else running a VPN... If so, drop me a line...
Cheers,
Derek

I had the exact same issue. I just restarted my server for the first time since set up (1 month ago) and VPN stopped working. Then I restarted VPN services and it kicked back into working order. what gives?
Nothing changed on the server, except for a nice little restart.

Startup Problems After Upgrade to 10.4.8

Six weeks ago I upgraded my RAM by adding a 1Gb chip, and after checking to see that the added memory was recognized, I installed OS X 10.4.6 from my purchased DVD. I was then prompted to update to 10.4.8. For the first three weeks I used my iMac G5 with no problems. Then, with no apparent changes having been made, I began having Startup problems with my iMac. Every Statup go like this after pushing the Power button:
1) I get alternatively a black screen or the gray Apple screen frozen
2) I use the Power button to Shut Down, then Start with the Power button and get the gray Apple screen with cascading text error messages
3) I Shut Down and Start as in 2 while holding the Option-Command-P-R and get Desktop, but my applications repeatedly Quit Unexpectedly (Safari, Explorer, iTunes,etc.)
4) I Restart from the Apple Menu and get the Desktop and my applications usually work without Quitting.
I tried re-installing from my OS X 10.4.6 DVD (Archive and Install), but I get errors when the Installer gets to Prepare the Disk. Can anyone tell me what else I can do, or do I need to contact Apple Support?? Thanks,
ktanzoak

Only if you are able to boot into the desktop. If you are, follow the instructions on my FAQ:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
for backing up your data.
If you aren't able to boot to the desktop, get Prosoft Data Rescue, and an external hard drive to attempt a recovery using the
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html#RECOVER
directions on my FAQ.
Please let me know which procedure you are able to do and if you have any questions before you proceed.
In the future, always backup your data prior to installing any new software.

Startup problems after battery change

My G4 Desktop, now getting on for 6 years old, but working perfectly until recently, needed a battery change on the mainboard as the clock was having problems. However this has led to startup problems: initially, following the startup chord, the computer wouldn't start at all. After some online digging, I found references to the CUDA button/zapping the PRAM. I can now restart by resetting CUDA, but the computer usually won't restart or even start from power off, meaning I have to go back to the CUDA button every time. The computer also fails to recognize the installed RAM, except for 128MB, corresponding to one of three RAM strips.
Apart from the battery, the only other likely contributing factors are that the computer's been shipped internationally recently (however, it was professionally packed and shipped, and made its first restart after this move without problems). The other potential factor is the switch in voltage, from 240 to 110, but that was handled normally by switching over on the back of the case.
I would really appreciate any advice that can help me get this old clunker back in action, and with all RAM recognized. Nice as an upgrade would be, it's not a strong option for me at the moment, and I'm otherwise satisfied with the G4 anyway.

Hi, Yukiguni!
You sure have an interesting problem...
You might review Texas Macman's tutorial at the following link:
http://www.geocities.com/texas_macman/pram.html
I'd check that replacement battery with a voltmeter to insure that it's good. ("New" isn't necessarily synonymous with "fresh".)
You might try completely de-energizing your Mac. In the link above, there's a Tip just above the Battery section that refers to what to do when sometimes computers lose their mind. This procedure oftentimes works to reset a PMU/CUDA that seems to refuse to reset properly and retain the correct startup parameters.
If you can get the Mac to boot from disk again, you might run the Apple Hardware Disk. Definitely run Repair Disk from the install disk if you haven't already done so and can get it to boot from disk. (You might try booting to the Startup Manager by holding down the option key at startup and trying to select the disk from there. Your best bet for success is to do so just after resetting the CUDA/PMU.)

Safari problems after upgrade - is Apple working on this?

I can't watch YouTube videos, and am having various small problems - like I can use shift-tab to go back a field on some online forms - small but annoying things.
I have read through many of these threads and it seems like the fixes are fairly time consuming. What I want to know is whether Apple knows about all of these problems with Safari and is working (quickly) to address this mess? Does anyone know?
Thanks

My wife was having this problem. Her phone just occasionally would send people a blank text bubble, but most of the time it was fine.
We scoured the internet for a solution, but while lots of people have the same problem, there was no good solutions out there. People with different phone companies and different phone brands.
In the end, I worked out that it only happened for texts she sends which are 156 characters long. Usually an SMS is just 152 characters long. If you send a longer one, on older phones it splits it up, but new smart phones paste them together so you don't notice. However, they send some kind of code I think to let the phones know a follow-up Part 2 is coming. That means you don't get the full 152 characters. I think by a message being 156 it sort of can confuse a phone to where to cut it off.
Solution? I'm not sure - but we turned on a setting that lets my wife see how long her message is, and if its 156, she knows now to add an extra character or two...
Hope that helps!

Problems after force reboot. Hard disk problems

Yesterday, I ran a c program on my work station. And, the program have some big out puts, files with size 2G,7G.
And then the disk was filled. Then some problem happened.
When rebooting it shows something like:
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: Id "c2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
And then, after some time. It successfully boot up. But there are still problems:
when I try to delete or mv or cp some of the big data, the /home directory file system automatically remounted as read only file system.
And I try to reboot it. It again seems ok, but still can't do any thing to the data, if I try the same thing happens again.
After some search, I thought there must be some problem on the disk. And try to fix it.
I find a unbuntu 12.04 CD, use the disk utils, I mis-formatted the swap area.
Now, it is repeating the error like:
INIT: cannot execute "/sbin/agetty"
INIT: Id "c2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
and can't boot.
What can I do now. How to fix my disk? It a workstation for many people, and the disk is of size 1 T, the /home directory has a size about 800 GB with 780 used.
What I can do?

/home partition doesn't count in this case - it can be filed 100% if it's separate partition. For system to work properly you need some space left on root partition.
Boot-up live cd and see what's your disk usage looks like.
PS did you tried cp or mv files from within live cd?

Startup problem after use in target disk mode with a PC. Ideas?

I used my Mac 10.4 in traget disk mode. Data transfers between Mac and PC worked fine (via Macdrive 6). After disconnecting and trying to boot normally, Mac doesn't recognize internal volume. It flashes the question mark.
Tried to repair disk via install DVD - disk utility found no problems.
Reapired permissons.
Reset PRAM and NVRAM.
Tried Startup utility - found the internal volume and even after selecting it for startup, I still get the flashing question mark.
Apple hardware test found no problems.
Archive and reinstall is not allowed.
Data can still be accessed fine via target disk mode.
Any ideas how to reinitialize or reset the startup volume?

Startup problem after restore in recovery mode

Hello,
My iPhone 5S stuck in apple logo and did not start to home screen. I found that the best solution is restore in recovery mode, but it did not work. my device started but made the apple logo loop. seems that it start and shot down. even the iTunes could not recognize it.
After two days of having this problem, disappointedly I put the wake up bottom and I saw that my iPhone started but in factory setting. Non of my data on it. I was happy until I made a restore to get back my data, apps, contacts, that the same problem of startup happened.
Can anybody help?

The backup data seems to be damaged, you'll have to start all over again without the latest backup, sorry.

If you are using iTunes on the computer, there might be more than one backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, check the article mentioned above for more info. If there is, use this one to restore from, to get at least some settings and data back. If there is no other backup listed, your backup data can't be used anymore, sorry.

Startup problem after driver installation!

windows 2000 server will not start properly with the tvanywhere master card drivers installed. It used to work properly with a k7n2g-ilsr with the integrated graphics controller. It also worked with the Radeon card with that motherboard. Although that installation seemed to degrade-- initially, I could watch TV on a 2nd monitor and play a game on the primary monitor, but for an unknown reason, after some time, the system would blue screen and reboot.
I then switched to the current MSI motherboard k7n2 Delta and it no longer works. When I start windows now, it takes a very long time to start and then I cannot log on. I reinstalled windows 2000 server and experienced the same problem. I tried the tv card in slot 2 initially, and the machine would loop from the "press ctrl-alt-del" screen to the login screen. After entering the password, it would go back to the ctrl-alt-del screen. are there any known incompatibilities with the ATI radeon chips? I have also tried earlier versions of the graphics drivers with no success. After putting the card in slot 2, I got past the login screen but it then hang without being able to load the taskbar.
in order to boot, I have to start in safe mode and disable the drivers to start up. I have been able to boot by disabling the audio capture device on the card , but i cannot use the msipvs software to take advantage of the card.
I have installed the card in another system (the one that is currently using th eoriginal msi motherboard (k7n2g-ilsr) but I need it to work with this system.
Please help! Thank you!

I changed power supplies after the one I had died, and I put in a new power supply. It worked for about 1 week and then it caused windows2000 to crash while starting up and reboot over and over. :( I tried a new 450w power supply and it does the same thing. :(

G5 startup problem after shutdown of frozen installation of new software...

Hi all
I got a massive problem. My G5 was installing software from dvd and got stuck for some reason. Nothing worked and I had to shut the whole system down. When I now start the G5 it comes up with a white screen with just a small folder in the middle of the screen displaying a question mark and alternates that with the apple face. Besides this the fans go mental and after a minute or so I have to shut it down again. Mouse and Keyboard are responseless:(
What can I do to get it starting up again? - I need the data on the system drive as I did not have time to back it up yet:((((

It lost its pointer to the startup disk, so you are seeing the "?" which equals "Can't find system"
The directory and file system likely are corrupt and need to be repaired.
Before installing, always insure one or two backups, one that is bootable. And a copy of Disk Warrior is handy.
Boot from another drive using the OPTION key, hard drive, firewire, DVD and repair your system.
Backup first, is always faster and less hassle and good insurance policy.
Use SuperDuper; Apple Restore in Disk Utility.
If you can't use the OPTION key or boot from CD/DVD, then pull the drive and put it in a FireWire case for later repair and recovery.
And do make sure you have a clean safe fresh Apple OS boot drive that is ONLY used for emergency maintenance, repairs, etc.

Startup Problems after Firefox 2.0 Installation. Help, please.

A few nights ago I finally acquiesced to the repeated friendly messages asking me to upgrade to firefox 2.0. After installation I restarted firefox and things were going just fine (although I was a little underwhelmed). Still, my mac worked and that's all I particularly care about.
I shut down my MacBook Pro that night without a thought, but now when I try to boot up I get as far as the login screen, enter my information, and then instead of being taken to my desktop I get a blank default background and a pointer--and that's it. Sometimes if I leave the blank background long enough it will close and return me again to the login screen ad naseum.
Does anyone know what's going on here? And out of curiousity, has anyone else had similar problems with the new Firefox? Most importantly, can anyone tell me how to fix this?
(I've already tried starting up in safe mode, by the way. Same thing happens regardless.)

Hi and welcome to the discussions, You may need to repair your startup disk. Boot from your install disc and hold "C" down after you hear the tone and release when you see the Apple logo. Choose your language. Then when the install window opens, choose "Utilities>Disk Utility" from the menu bar. Select the startup volume"MacintoshHD" and click Repair Disk in the lower left after its finished, repair permissions then restart.
Hope that cures your Prob, Glynn

Instance startup problem after offline backup

Hi,
 We have scheduled an offline backup of our NW2004s ABAP + Java system through brtools.But after the offline backup instance is not coming up automatically.After going though the instance work directory I found the following problem in dev_ms file.
Once we come across this problem we have to restart the server to make it work.

well that follows after a memory shortage of the windows 32 Bit operating system itself.
I would strongly recommend not to run 700 unicode based system on 32 bit platforms

Startup Problems After Pro Tools Installation

Hi There,
I have a Macbook Pro and just installed Pro Tools 7.3 and the 7.4.2 Mac update. As soon as the update finished, it prompted for a restart. Upon the restart, an opaque gray screen appeared with a message that stated 'You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button.' I did this, and the same thing has happened each time. I can never get past the initial apple screen during startup. This has never happened prior to my installation and update of Pro Tools 7.4.2.
Any ideas? I'm dying to start working with Pro Tools/Continue using my brand new MacBook Pro.
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the discussions, You may need to repair your startup disk. Boot from your install disc and hold "C" down after you hear the tone and release when you see the Apple logo. Choose your language. Then when the install window opens, choose "Utilities>Disk Utility" from the menu bar. Select the startup volume"MacintoshHD" and click Repair Disk in the lower left after its finished, repair permissions then restart.
Hope that cures your Prob, Glynn

Maybe the workspace is corrupted..Try starting with a new workspace. In a short cut define the new workspace
C:\Programme\SAP\IDE\IDE70\eclipse\SapIde.exe -showsplash 600 -data C:\temp
Otherwise try installing again.

Itunes startup problems after reinstalling.

Hi after recently deleting quicktime from my cpu in a moment of stupidity my itunes would no longer start up. To fix this I re-installed itunes from scratch, however now when i try to start the program I get this message "This application has failed to start becuase AVfoundationCF.dll was not found. RE- installing the application may fix this problem" followed by "itunes was not installed correctly please reinstall, Error7 (windows error126) . can anyone help me with this problem please. Should I try and re-install it all over again or something idk ; /. Thanks xx

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable....
click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package ""appleapplicationsupport.msi"" in the box below "
I haven't seen one of those mentioning an AppleApplicationSupport.msi for a while.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Application Support entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
