Will not load after update

I have an Imac DV with OS X 10.3. I turned it on the other day and after it loaded up, it said there were updates available. I had it install the updates and then when it tried to restart, it went through loading up until it got into the loading window part and then it stopped and will not go any farther. I have tried several times but it will not get past that part. I don't have any install discs. Anyone help? Thanks. Bob

You're Welcome Bob!
Without install discs, how, and when, did you upgrade to Panther 10.3.x?
Was the iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 installed, before the upgrade?
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, is the most up to date OS.
But, if you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, can be purchased, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

If any are presently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!

Win 8.1 will not load after update from 8.0

I have a M6-K010dx with win 8. Was fine for 2 years untill updated win 8.1. Now can not access nor recover or re-install win 8. Was purchased at Best Buy but was not given any software or keys. No keys on bottom. When trying to re-install system it says partistion is not there for use. I have tried to call Best Buy and they say I must buy new software and recovery disks. I have tried to boot from USB but will not do it. Have changed in bios for boot order. I do not have a USB DVD but cnan probably get one. If I DL ISO I will not have key to use.
It would appear that as the screen flashes on and off that it may be a video driver problem but have no way of fixing if it is. Do not think I should have to buy new software as I paid for it at purchase and not sure if I did I could install from USB. Because of the lack of rercover partition not there I would think I was sold a defective system.
Any help appreciated.

Hi @guaranteed ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Windows 8.1 not loading correctly after an update. Windows 8.1 is just an update and would not remove your partition.
You can reinstall Windows 8 with any Windows 8 disk as long as it is the same version as yours. Windows 8 Home or Windows 8 Professional. It will install and update with no issues.
You might want to look at this document on some different options.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Safari will not load after update to 5.0.1

Ever since I updated my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo, Leopard 10.5.8) all available software yesterday, including an update to Safari 5.0.1, nothing will load on Safari.
It will get stuck in a perpetual load with the status bar not reaching further than the http://.
I have tried EVERYTHING (well, it feels like everything) including totally uninstalling Safari and reinstalling. I've also deleted caches, reset every setting, checking that it's running in 32-bit, made sure it's not running with Rosetta, everything I could find on forums up to now.
I have also tried reinstalling an older version and despite having deleted EVERY single Safari file from my computer, it keeps telling me that I have a newer version instaled so it won't downgrade (As an aside, that is RIDICULOUS, utterly ridiculous)
Please please please help me as I need to use Safari and related programmes every day for work and this is making me very frustrated!

Welcome to the forums!
If your Safari won't open, one or more of the following procedures should fix it:
1. Go to Home/Library/Safari/ folder and remove the following two files:
• history.plist
• lastsession.plist
(Safari may not load properly If these two files are corrupted.)
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/ and remove the contents of that folder.
(These are just webhistory files and are not required for Safari to run. However, similar to preference files, problems can arise if they have become corrupt.)
3. Locate the cookies.plist file that's located in the Home/Library/Cookies/ folder and remove it.
(Again, faults in stored cookies may interfere with Safari's launch.)
4. Check whether any of your third-party internet plug-ins may be interfering with the launch of Safari by carefully moving them to the desktop (do NOT delete them at this stage). You can find these in two places:
Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder, and Global plug-ins are located in the Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.
Also look in Library/Input Managers where other third party add-ons may lurk. If you find a SIMBL folder, please note that some SIMBLE.bundles may require updating or possibly removal.
Restart Safari and place them back in the correct folders, one at a time, closing and re-opening Safari each time. If you discover that one of them was causing the problem with launching Safari, trash it and download and install a fresh copy.
Lastly, repair permissions.

ITunes and Quick Time will not load after update

I have updated my ITunes to 7.5 and now I get an error message,sends report to microsoft program had to close... and when I try to open QT I get an Buffer Overrun error. I have tried everything that is suggested at these web pages but no success. I have uninstalled, downloaded, numerous times. My Itunes worked fine before the upgrade, now that I have a new 3rd generation Nano its almost useless. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the help

Did you ever get this problem resolved? I've been having the same problem now for over 2 weeks, and it doesn't matter what I do, including a system restore, it still won't launch. If I dock my iPod, it freezes and doesn't sync, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, and it still won't work.
I got an error message telling that some detection program was preventing it from opening, but when I tried to adjust the program's settings to turn it off for iTunes, it tells me it's required for iTunes.
This is so frustrating!

My imac will not load after I enter my password. The only thing I get is the arrow from my mouse on top of a blank white screen. Can anyone tell me what this is? I've restarted and turned off several times. I left it on in this state for 8 hours hoping it would reload and work. No luck.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

PE 9 will not load after installing Elements 10

Installed Elements 10 on Vista 64-bit. Did not uninstall Elements 9. Now PE 9 will not load; get window Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - No Disk. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Harddisk2\DR2. Tried disk 2 of 3 from package, nothing happens.

Tried twice, PE9 still locked up both times - I think the intent is to have me try PE10, because that did work!!!

Tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance

I tried to reinstall PS CS6 from download, will not load after download and install, need assistance.
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion - but I eventually tried again and was able to contact via "chat" to someone qualified to help. The problem was that in my existing "bridge" - preference was (I think by default) - checked to startup in background on Login. I did not realize this - because I don't think I set it that way in the first place (maybe I did a few years ago) - and I could not see anything in task manager to suggest that bridge was running an application or any process - but when I learned this - I was successful in installing PS CS6.
Yes, I'm still not on solid ground re: whether or not I want to change from "owning" the tool or renting it -- what concerns me is that is sounds like regardless of users wishes, Adobe is headed in this direction and will eventually make it financially more feasible to go that route. At the moment I think they are "asking" for everyone to get on their bandwagon, but who knows. They have a powerful set of tools, that they continue to support and advance - and along with those development and support costs, they also would like to make a profit - so I understand if their past marketing model is no longer sufficient.
Thanks again.

MBP 17" will not restart after updating Java... why?

MBP 17" will not restart after updating Java...why?
It would actually try to restart for about 10-15 seconds but would quit and then shut down. Tried using P_R_Command_Options but that too failed and again it just shut down. Tried using D at startup which ran a test of the hard drive. No issues there which tells me there's a software problem.
Can any one help?

Disk Utility suggest reformating
Reformatting is not a Recovery Aid. When Disk Utility suggests reformatting, it is because it considers your drive unsalvageable. Yes, you lose all the data on the drive when you reformat.
And yes, Mac OS X Extended, journaled is the method you will need for a Mac OS X Boot drive.
You should also consider buying a replacement drive to have on hand the next time this internal drive gives you the slightest bit of trouble. Possibly an external enclosure to put it in as well. and it would not hurt to go ahead and Install Mac OS X on it and try booting from it, to make sure it is ready.
And make sure your Backups are current, as the next time that internal drive screws up you may get no warning whatsoever.

Firefox will not load after a update, even in safe mode

I click on the firefox icon
It starts to load with the hourglass on the mouse thig going, then it does not start. I tried in the safe mode,
It will not load
My Computer said it was updating fire fox just before that.
I have removed all the cookies everywhere using that CC Cleaner
I have restarted the computer

Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
See also:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
* [[Software Update Failed]]
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
Clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Mac Mini will not load after recent update.

My late 2012 model Mac Mini just had a software update and upon rebooting, my login name did not populate. I rebooted again and now I get the gray screen with spinner and progress bar. Once the progress bar loads I have just the spinner for a minute or so before it cuts off completely. I use a wireless MAC keyboard and it will not load into safe mode when I try holding down SHIFT upon reboot. Any suggestions?

Try Safe Mode with a wired KB

Next reinstall the OS

Aperture 2.1.4 update will not load after Snow Leopard update

Has any one found the fix for aperture 2.1.4 update not loading after the installation of Snow Leopard. I to am also getting the alert "aperture 2.0 or later is required to install the update". I installed my copy of aperture 2.1 using the installer with no problems so the program is in the correct location. I've seen the posts related to this problem and it does not seem a fix has been found.

Just ran into this myself. I did check to see if there was a preference to delete under ~/Library/Preferences and one is not created since 2.1 is never actually launched. 2.1 is sitting in the root of Applications and hasn't been renamed, but the 2.1.4 update just doesn't detect that it is there and just gives the alert "Aperture 2.0 or later is required to install this update."

Earlier messages will not load after 8.3 ios update

The earlier messages will not load for imessage. The clock turns as if it is going to load but it does not load and then the cursor drops to the bottom of the imessage...

Not unless you've reported it directly to them (posting it here does not accomplish this as we are just users like you). I don't believe this is a problem with the update or a widespread problem; it seems to be a problem with individual devices. I'm not experiencing it on my 5S. The next step in user troubleshooting would be to back up and restore your software to see if this resolves it.

FaceTime will not run after update to 10.6.7

Updated the OS to 10.6.7 earlier today. Tried to run FaceTime this evening, and found that it will not start. First indication of a problem was that the FaceTime icon was missing, instead a generic icon was present. Tried to start FT, and found that the computer will not let it start. Was told that this version of FT is not compatible with the installed OS.
I then did something that was probably wrong, but I deleted FT, in hopes that I could then download the latest version of FT from the AppStore. Not only did that strategy not work - I am still told that FT is already installed on this Mac, so cannot update it - but I no longer have FT in any version on my Mac.
Probably should have waited to download and install the OS update, but that is history now. Instead, I have two Apple apps that will not work after running the update.
Any Ideas??

Reinstall the app from the Applications install disk that came with the computer. That will fix icon issues, and make sure that the version is correct. FT apparently has not been updated since the 'early 2011' MBPs came out, so the disks that came with the computer should take care of it.
I was able to get FT working in this way, and am now able to keep in touch with my wife, while away on business. Much better!!

HT1338 Aperture will not open after update? What do I do?

Aperture will not open after I updated. What do I do?

Mgoss, quit the installer or App Store/Software Update (depending on what you're using to update) and restart your machine. With Aperture closed, drag the Aperture application to the trash, then reinstall Aperture from your original media and, if necessary, update again.
