Will not start after restore

i have a 24" iMac that was regularly backed up to a time capsule via time machine.  when the hard drive crashed apple replaced the 320GB drive with their 500GB drive.  i anticipated a smooth and easy restore from the time machine backup, though it would take hours.  this restore from backup seemed to go without a hitch.  at the end I clicked on the button to restart from restored internal hard drive and after powering down... the computer would not start.  the gray screen with the apple arrived and the spinning gear beneath.  the spinning gear has spun for hours without moving past this point.  from the installation disk i verified and repaired disk permissions on the newly restored disk - to no avail.  Please help!

  • Firefox will not start, after reboot.

    For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week

    Hello Tom.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    My Itunes will not start after the latest update. I keeo getting error message tEventType : InPageError     P1 : c000009c     P2 : 00000003 . I have tried to reinstall but no joy. Any advise?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    It gives me the following J2EE error:

    Hi ,
    as a first question: What versions of WAS / NWDS are you using?! (Main question is if you are using corresponding versions, i.e. NWDS 2.0.x with WAS 6.40 SP x, with the same value for x.)
    See the threads below for more information

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic.  I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

    My aperture library will not open after restoring my whole computer after a kernal panic.  I can not get the Aperture troubleshooting menu to open...any help?

    Leonie,
    Fisrt let me thank you for your reply and assistance!  So here is the problem with so more detail...I was not sure I was going to get any replies ; )
    I restored from a time machine back up.
    History of Failure:
    I was trying to launch Aperture when the kernal panic occured.  My computer had been closed, and asleep and the battery was dead.  I plugged in charger and it was restoring/waking up after being asleep/shutting down from dead battery.  I launched Aperture from the dock and as soon as it opened the kernal panic occured.  After that the computer would not turn on.  It would try to boot then it would shut off.  I even tried to safe boot to no avail.  I went to the Apple store and they told me that the only thing I could do was restore whole computer from back up.  So thats what I did.
    Since then my previous aperture library: "2011" will not open.  I have created a new aperture library "2012", and it runs fine.  I have added new photos for about the past month...no problems. 
    When I launch aperture with 2012 library then try to switch libraries, I get the following prompt: "The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch."  I choose "Relaunch" and I get the following warning prompt: "There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library 20111.aplibrary”."  The only option is "Quit"
    Both libraries are version 3.2.3
    Computer stats: 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.6.8
    I have tried to launch aperture troubleshooting by holding option+command from both the aperture icon and from the library file, neither will launch the troubleshooting feature.
    I am ok with computers, but not a whiz (mechanical engineer)...to me it seems as though there is a corrupt path or file or some sort of "check" that is failing, becuase the failure occurs so fast after trying to launch aperture. Maybe that doesn't make any sense but just a thought.
    I hope that you may be able to provide some insight.  Thank you again for you time and I hope that you have a nice day!
    Mike

  • HT201412 phone will not activate after restore

    My iphone 3gs will not activate after restore.

    That's almost always because the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier.
    Where EXACTLY did you get the phone? Did you or a previous owner ever get it "unlocked" by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to?

  • HT201263 iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update?

    Please help my iphone 3 gs will not activate after restore and update.

    If it is locked to any carrier, insert SIM from the carrier. If it is unlocked insert any SIM to activate.

    Just rented a movie in French on my iMac... movie will not start after download ?
    What I do now ?

    Okay. I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • FP Install Will Not Start after DLM Install

    The FP installation will not start after an apparent DLM installation.  The DLM appears to install and the control panel shows it is present, but the FP installation will not start.  There are no other messages that appear.  A restart and reinstallation attempt installs the DLM again, but still no FP install.  Using XP SP3 and IE 8.0.
    Thx

    Hi mont1228,
    The Adobe Download Manager (DLM) executes the Flash installer in "silent mode" so you shouldn't see a dialog box.  To confirm that Flash was installed successfully, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and let me know if the animation doesn't appear.
    Best regards,

We now have three other units in teh office with the same issue.

    Don't know about fixing PitStop. However, have you tried a simple repair on Acrobat. If Acrobat won't open you can do that from the Programs and Features menu (Add/Remove Programs in OS prior to Win7).

    have a nice day

    Thank you all for your help!
    I bought a new hard drive and reinstalled everything.
    I got a smart drive USB casing for the corrupted hard drive and connected it to the laptop.
    First it couldn't read any thing on it and it wouldn't run a scandisk. So i run a scandisk on 'my computer' which included the connected smart drive.
    Took a long time ... went to bed after 2 hours and when i got up and restarted the laptop, the smart drive was accessible and i could transfer all my files etc.
    I don't know what it did over night, but it worked.
    I reinstalled the old hard drive to retrieve some program data and it runs on windows again and everything was nearly like before, just the system restore wouldn't run and after a scan disk etc it still won't run.
    great.
    have a nice day

  • IOS 7 will not activate after restore - iPad

    I have just updated my iPad mini to iOS 7 Via iTunes. I did a full restore, it got to the start screen, Asked for the language and location, I then connected it to both Wi-FI and iTunes and it will not activate after multiple attempts!

    Activation servers are being stressed just as hard as the download servers. Best to just wait it out and try again later.
