What does "The System bootstrapper has crashed: Bus error" mean ?

Was this an upgrade?
You could repair disk and permissions, but I suspect a corrupt OS X. I would reinstall the operating system.
COmmand R on reboot if your Mac is newer.

I'm not being facetious or trying to brush off your question. If you want to know what someone meant when they said something, ask them. It's the most direct line and gives the highest probability of getting a useful, accurate answer to your question.

System bootstrapper has crashed

Screen stay white after starting up procedure.
After boot check it's stop at "system bootstrapper has crashed"

hey,
had the same problem after an update. disk utility and repairing permissions did not work out, so i downloaded and installed OS X in recovery, which took nearly 2 1/2 hours to download and install, download was once interrupted, installation clock showed -22 minutes until restarting. but now everything works fine, no loss of files. thanks for the help here.
great hint, if you work with whole encryption by filevault and you want to use system utility:
So while in Recovery Mode, open Terminal , locate the logical UUID (example: 111111-2222-3333-444444444444 ) of the disk to unlock.
"diskutil coreStorage list" will give you the UUID. After that you can unlock the drive with:
"diskutil coreStorage unlockVolume <YOUR_UUID>"
You will be asked for the Filevault password and yes, this prompt will accept your passwd if you type it right, at least you can test and see what you type in terminal while not in the password prompt.
Your drive will now be unlocked. You can now proceed with menus to reinstall Lion, reinstall from Time Machine, or use the Disk Utility......
worked great for me. also keep in mind, that after downloading OS X, before installation mode, your keyboard is set to US. i wondered for like 5 minutes what's wrong with my password...

What does the system recover kit entail?

I dropped my wife's HP pavillion dv4i notebook, and afterwords had to replace the HDD. The Notebook did not come with a recovery disk to reinstall all the software it came with. I did the USB tool to reinstall the correct verions of windows 7 but I don't have a valid Windows product key. the sticker on the bottom with the key is now unreadable. I put the damaged HDD in a external case and am attempting to read the key without any luck.
What does the system recovery kit for consumer notebooks come with besides drivers? would this contain a new product key?

HT4059 what does the red light and 'not in store' mean

What does the red light in manage my books mean? And what does 'not in store mean'?

Hello Simon,
I believe you have two unrelated problems. The red light is only associated with the digital audio port and indicates the "mute" switch inside the jack that turns off the built-in speakers when phones are in use has jammed in the mute position. No way it should affect your ability to start the computer. That has to be something else.
Does your computer give the normal startup chime sounds when you turn it on?
If you are getting the normal startup chime and have a wired keyboard, boot while pressing the SHIFT key. Keep holding the SHIFT key until you get a desktop, then let go the key. At this point, do not try to do any work with the computer but rather see if it will restart normally (without holding any keys or key combos).

HT5137 what does the circle with a lock in it mean?

What does the circle with a lock in it mean? And how do I make it go away?

What circle with a lock? Can you be a littel more specific? It usually mean the rotation lock is on. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center and tap the icon there (looks the same - its on the top right).

What does the lock with a circle around it mean in the top right corner of my iPhone 5c

What does the lock with a circle around it mean in the top right corner of my iPhone 5c

It means that your screen rotation is locked. Open up the control center by sliding your finger up from the very bottom of the screen, and click on the screen rotation lock symbol, which is the same symbol you see on the status bar.

What does the message "LIBROOKSBAS. DYLIB PLUG-IN' mean because it will not allow me to open Safari

What does the message "LIBROOKSBAS. DYLIB PLUG-IN' mean because it will not allow me to open Safari

Welcome!
You have installed Trusteer's Rapport software that many banks recommend, unware that it is poison to Safari. The developer keeps working on it but, so far, we don't seem to have a stable version that doesn't cause more problems than it fixes.
Removal instructions are here:

What does the number in parentheses after CPU speed mean?

On original iMacs the CPU is given as PowerPC 750 400MHz (2.2) What does the 2.2 refer to? What would the latest version of the PowerPC 750 be marked?

It's probably the release version number of the PowerPC 750.
The G3's are more commonly referred to by the suffix after "750." I believe the last Mac with a G3 was the 900 MHz iBook, and they used the 750FX.
PowerLogix makes some G3 upgrade products that use the later 750GX, up to 1.1 GHz. Unfortunately, none are for the the CRT iMacs.
Some more info about the "G3."

What does the black screen with large exclamation point mean?

I'm trying to edit, or even just select a photo in iPhoto, but can't get it to come up - just the black screen with a large exclamation point. What does that mean, and how do I get back control of my photos?

It means your database is corrupted and that iPhoto has lost the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the actual file.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD

What does the number after my wireless client name mean

I have an airport express and have set up my network properly. Just recently I have noticed that there is a number (sometimes in parentheses, sometimes not) after the wireless client name when I look at my network with my airport utility. What does this number stand for and why does it keep changing?

This is a known bug in Yosemite.
On your Yosemite Macs.......
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Edit the name of the Mac to what you want
Things may be OK for a day or two, but the (2), (3), (4), etc will come back to visit until we get a fix from Apple
I don't have an AppleTV here to check, but you can probably change the name in the settings for the AppleTV.
