Will not boot up in safe mode

Here's another headache which is testing my temperament to the extreme.
My Mac crashed this morning and when I restarted I got the classic Spotlight in the corner icon. The usual procedure here is to restart in safe mode, empty the wastebasket and then restart as normal.
Unfortunately, my Mac simply refuses to boot up in safe mode! Instead it shuts down. Now this is nothing to do with me leaving on my finger on the button too long or not long enough, as I've done the safe mode restart countless times...the bugger just will not go into safe mode no matter what I try and do.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated before my full head of hair turns into a massive bald patch!!
PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

I just had an issue like this. I was able to boot up with an external firewire drive, although it was a lot of trouble. I think doing an option boot finally worked; holding down the option key, I eventually got to see the firewire drive was bootable, and booted from it.
I put the thing in verbose boot mode (command - v , I think; but please look it up. I have no Mac books at work to check). In verbose mode, you could see that the hard drive could not mount; the OS tried to do fsck, but it failed around 2/3 of the way, and the CPU was halted.
I was occasionally able to boot normally, but never in safe or single user modes; these do a disk test first, which invariably failed.
I could see from the system and console logs when I managed to get the firewire boot going that there were repeated errors trying to access drive s03, the internal SATA drive. The logs on the SATA drive showed huges numbers of errors. At a wild guess, for some reason a lot of sectors went bad all at once. There had been a some erratic behavior before, but I'd put that down to the single processor G5 problems. (these were non video related, just freezes).
Applecare wanted me to carry the huge thing into the local Apple store, but I persuaded them to just send me a replacment hard drive, which they did. The new one works perfectly.

  • MacBook Pro will not boot, only in safe mode. Tried Everything!

    My MacBook Pro was working fine yesterday. Went to boot it up today, and it freezes on the Apple grey boot screen, will not progress further.
    It does however start in safe mode, but will not start normally.
    I've tried everything I can find, reset the PRAM, reinstalled OS X, ran the Apple Hardware test which came back clear, I don't know what else to try and why it's not working. It's been fine until now. Please help! Thank you

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.  
    These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    for k in /Sy*/L*/Ex*/{,.?}*.kext; do test -f "$k/Contents/Info.plist" && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$_" | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo $k; done | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3 
    Repeat with this line:
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 4
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, Steps 1-4 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • 2007 Mac Pro will not boot, even in safe mode

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro purchased in 2007 that had been working well up until a few months ago.  I had trouble with Microsoft Word 2008 repeatedly crashing; I repaired the hard disk and moved up to Word 2011, and the problem seemed to resolve. 
    Yesterday, the machine crashed, and I am not able to start it up, even in safe mode.  I have tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM, removed and cleaned the graphics card (NVIDIA 7300 GT), and removed the 3rd party RAM I installed at least 2 years ago.
    When booting to the internal hard drive, the Apple logo will show, then a blue screen followed by a gray screen with a frozen cursor.  When I boot to an external hard drive or the OSX Leopard install DVD, the screen flickers like below:
    When I tried to boot in safe mode while holding shift + command + V, the safe boot froze after reading:
    panic (cpu 2 caller 0x2abf6a): kernal trap at 0x0029a4bc, type 14= page fault, registries:
    [4 lines of 2-3 letter acronyms and numbers]
    Error code: 0x00000000
    I am thinking of buying a new graphics card (ATI Radeon 5700), but I want to be sure (as much as possible) that will solve the problem I am having.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Cheryl

    replace the system drive
    always clone your system
    yes dump the 7300 if you plan to keep using it and use Lion
    A clean install would be nice start, on say 120GB SSD or something too
    And 2x2GB FBDIMM set is $30 if you need a set
    AHT is on your OEM DVD from 20007
    dust, temps and air flow is also important

  • Satellite L300-1AP will not boot even in safe mode

    After trying to boot in safe mode I get (after 10 minutes or so) the following.....

    As the the OS was pre installed, no Windows disk is available. Have tried Windows repair, but get a similar message. Have tried F8 upon boot and have tried to restore to most recent working state but get the same as above. Is there any other way of repairing this or is this a hard disk issue? Help!

  • HT1455 What if my computer will not start up in safe mode?  What next?

    What is the remedy for a MacBook that will not start up in safe mode?  The gray apple icon and progress wheel appear, I let go the shift key and the whole thing shuts off again.  Please help.  Thank you.

    My understanding is that the Apple logo is produced by the disk and the spinning wheel shows that the software boot process has started.
    1 - Shut down your Mac
    2 - Press the power button to start and
    3 - Immediately press and hold the Command (Apple) key and the S key
    4 - At the prompt type the following and then hit return:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issues were found:
    ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK
    If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 4 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do). When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type the following at the prompt and hit return:
    reboot
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.
    Good luck.

  • IPhoto project will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process. Christmas gift, really need to get this done, have worked MANY hours on putting it together. Please help!

    Iphoto book will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the fix below:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book.  If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

  • My MacBook Pro will not start. When I started it goes to a gray screen with the Apple logo and has the spinning dial. When I started in safe mode it will not start. In safe mode it as an error message that says MacBook Launch_msg():Socket is not connected

    My MacBook Pro will not start. When I started it goes to a gray screen with the Apple logo and has the spinning dial. When I started in safe mode it will not start. In safe mode it as an error message that says MacBook Launch_msg(): Socket is not connected

    If running 10.7 or later hold down Command-R at Startup.
    This should invoke recovery Mode.
    Choose Disk Utility.
    Select your Hard drive. Inspect the SMART Status in the lower right of the window for "Verified".
    Select the Mac OS X Volume (originally Macintosh HD) click (Repair Disk)
    If errors, run again until it comes clean or gets stuck.
    Report any error messages.

  • Firefox will not open. I have used this for several years. It will not even open in safe mode. I have un-instaleld it..re-installed it and the same problem occurs. No error messages etc. ANy thoughts?

    The program was working fine..now nothing. I have un-installed it several times...re-installed it several times. Will not even open in safe mode.

    For some things you can try see [[Firefox will not start]].
    I would start by seeing if a new profile works. See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
    If the new profile does work, you can transfer selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. I would not copy preferences or extensions, instead re-install the extensions.

    And will not start up in safe mode. I have reset PRAM and SMC. Also restarted with no startup items, no luck. Had the problem of waking from sleep and not shutting down in 10.7, updated to 10.8 hoping for fix, no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi, this log has some similarities to my ipod touch which seems to be not sleeping properly due to wireless issues. Can I check - are you using a wifi connection - if so have you tried ethernet?

  • White Macbook 13" will not boot - Stuck in Safe Boot mode

    In a nutshell --
    macbook will not boot.  Originally it was stuck on the gray screen with spinning wheel.  Here is the course of action taken thus far (in order)
    1.  Reset SMC -- removed battery, pushed power button for 5-1 seconds.  Rrestsarted.  Nothing.  Still with the gray screen etc.
    2.  Tried to restart in Safe Boot mode.  --  Macbook will restart and after 25% on the status bar it hangs up.  After a 5 minutes or so it shuts down (I assume form overheating as the fan is running wild.)
    3.  Wheneve I start it now it tires to go in safe mode so I tired to zap the PRAM (opt/command/p/r)  No luck.  Tried twice.  Once after three chimes.  Once after 2 chimes.  Still tries to boot in safe mode.
    4.  Tried Recovery Mode (I am running Mountain Lion).  Can boot into recovery mode.  Ran disk repair and it said all was fine.  Would not allow me to repair permissions but I could verify them.  I ran verify.  No messages came up at all -- thought this was strange.  I also tried to re-install the OS but the first time the only disk available to me was the recovery partition.  The second time I went into Recovery mode I saw the regular Hard Drive partition but it was grayed out and locked.  Considered restarting to an external USB drive but then did not know what I would do then.  Might try this tomorrow.
    5.  Ran Target disk mode with my iMac.  The disk did not mount in the desktop but showed up in disk utility with the HD partition grayed out.  Could verify and repair disk but nothing was allowed regarding permissions -- all options grayed out.
    6.  Restarted with Verbose mode.  Ran for 5 - 10 minutes and shut down.  Last line I saw was "checking extended attributes file"  No error message.  Again, maybe it was an overheating issue as the fans were going wild and it was about the same length of tome running as in safe mode when the macbook shut down.
    OK.  The hard drive is a few moths old.  There was nothing strange going on with the hard drive prior to shut down.  The only odd thing happening was the dvd drive was begining to make sounds upon restart (from sleep or full restart).  Like it was checking/reading a disk in the drive.  This was especially odd as the drive has been dead/unusable for a few years.  (When you a dvd or cd in it could not read).  This dvd drive sound happens even now upon each start up.
    I do not want a new motherboard.......or laptop.
    Thanks.
    Robert

    Thanks for the prompt response.  Thanks for the adivice.  I wish i could get it to go into safe mode.  It stops after 5 minutes of trying.  I am not sure if it is the hard drive as it will boot into Reocvery Mode --  meaning it will let me access the 650 MB parititon Lion has set aside - so that part of the disk is working. 
    I am headed to the Geniusues soon.

  • Macbook Pro 15" will only boot up in Safe Mode - Please help!

    My Macbook Pro will not boot up normally. It goes past the screen with the apple and the wheel and then just stays white. Also on the screen there are little rectangular blocks going across diagonally. In Safe Mode, it boots up but with little square blocks going across the screen. Can anyone help please?

    Firstly, see this article: Mac OS X- What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? and this one: Gray screen appears during startup.
    Secondly, try the following:
    Delete caches to resolve some startup problems: 
    Boot into single-user mode.  After startup is completed you will be in command line mode and should see a prompt with a cursor positioned after it.  At the prompt enter the following then press RETURN after each commandline:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    If you receive a message that says "***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****" then re-run the command until you receive a message that says "** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK."  If you re-run the command more than seven times and do not get the OK message, then the drive cannot be repaired this way.
    If you were successful then enter:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*
    rm -rf /Library/Caches/*
    reboot
    I suggest you print out the above to be sure you do not make any errors when entering the commands.  When in single-user mode you have 'root' access, so it's important that you not make any mistakes.
    Lastly, reinstall Snow Leopard if the above doesn't help.  This will not erase the drive.

  • Holding 3 and 2 will not boot in 32 bit mode

    Hello. I need to boot in 32 bit mode to run Cisco VPN Client on my Macbook Air (version 10.7.4). This worked earlier this week but I've now tried for 3 days probably 20 plus time and cannot get it to take.  Is there another way to boot in 32 bit mode?
    Can anyone assit?

  • After a firefox "upgrade" was installed automatically, Firefox will not start, even in Safe mode. Clicking on the icon does nothing

    after a firefox upgrade was auto-installed, firefox no longer will launch. clicking on the icon does nothing. can't start in safe mode

  • My iMac will not boot up in any mode

    Tried normal mode
    Tried safe mode
    Tried install DVD
    Tried hardware test with application DVD
    Tried hardware test from Internet ( not supported my my machine )
    Any suggestions ?

    There is certainly activity on the power up.
    in each of those modes, there is the chime and the logo and the wheel .
    in the hardware test, it runs the test for about 2min 15sec, and then i can hear the drive for ever.
    Left it running last night and after 7 hours, it was int he same spot.
    The other boot modes, the wheel is spinning forever.
    I did go through the power off sequence you describe. Same results.
    I also reseated the memories.
    Sometimes during normal boot, I see the machine just power off while the wheel is spinning.

  • Firefox will not start, even in Safe Mode. Evidence suggests that this is due to an incompatibility with the latest update of Java.

    Firefox will not start in WinXP. (I am sending this from an alternate browser.)
    I believe that this is due to some incompatibility with the latest update of Java. I believe that one of the tabs from my previous session included a Java application, and this is causing the difficulty. In recent days, since the last update of Java, I have had difficulty in loading linked pages with Java applications into Firefox, and have needed to switch to a different browser to do this.
    Now I cannot even start the browser, presumably due to the presence of a Java application on one of the restored tabs.
    When I now try to start Firefox, my ZoneAlarm security s/w presents the message "Java(TM) Quick Starter binary is trying to access the Internet." I click "Allow", but Firefox will not start. If I click "Deny", the same result. The same thing happens when I try to start Firefox in Safe Mode, I cannot even start Firefox in Safe mode.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after recent update of Java
