Won't bootup after running fine.

Hello all, I had installed leopard on Friday night and it was running great. However this morning I go to bootup my macbook and all I get is a mouse pointer and a blue screen. I can reboot into "safe mode" but that is hardly a solution. I have left it sitting their and I have also hard rebooted it multiple times. Anyideas?

Fixed this by reinstalling OS

Adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro Photoshop settings have been reset

adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro.   Adobe Settings have been Reset

Hello Gener7,
     I did try everything on the FAQ page (all steps) I also did them a few more times with "Adobe help" walking me through 2 more times. I just don't get it, I have been on with Adobe on some days up to 5 hours at a time for over a month now. I think it must be something with the installation disc but they say no, no, switchboard is just not working on my OS X 10.9.4. I even took the computer into the apple store here and had them look it over, reinstall everything and they say it's the Adobe software.
     Thank you very much for your help, it's nice to know someone is reading this :-) I do work around this by saving the files and reopening them in the next program I need but everyone in class is always waiting on me, (it sucks) and I just think it should work. Hope you have a good day and I will put an update on here if this is ever figured out.
Thanks one more time :-)

External drives won't mount after running repair permissions

None of my external drives will mount after running disk permissions. Drives work fine on my mbpro.
None of the external drives show up in disk utilities...
I've try shutting down and unplugging computer. even mini zip drives won't mount.
I'm running 10.4.11
PPC G5 2.3Ghz
Thanks for any help..

Repairing Permission only deals with installer receipts and system components. Not with mounting or accessing hard drives.
Have your run Apple DU First Aid? Disk Warrior? Only use latest version for your OS.
Are you trying to clone your system to external and then repairing permissions? trying to boot from them?
If cloning, make sure the "Ignore Ownership" flag is unchecked before cloning (but do repair permissions on external drives you intend to boot from, such as a Firewire drive).
What type of cases and interface are these?

GPIB not responding after running fine in vb6 app.

Hello, I am writing a program using vb6 and gpib interfacing an hp4142 voltage source/monitor and a keithly 707 matrix. The Program runs fine for a while and then ibspy shows EDVR(0) on all the commands. It is almost like the board is timing out. I access the instruments using ibdev.

Hi,
EDRV refers to a low-level driver error. Usually the driver cannot get a hold of some system resource. A system call failed. The OS-specific error code is placed in ibcnt.
Here are some examples:

K8ngm2 no video after running fine - same problem twice already

I recently bought a new MSI K8NGM2 and an AMD 3200+ Athlon 64. I assembled the thing last week and it was up and running fine until about friday when there was a blackout. When I attempted to turn on the PC it had no video and the PC Speaker sounded like a lot of static. I quickly tried to "discharge" by unplugging the power cord and holding the power button. I also tried reseating everything. After all those attempts I removed the Motherboard and RMA'd it.
Fast forward today, I installed the new one and it was up and running for a few hours. I left it on while it was updating Windows. When i go to his room i find out that his pc is on the startup memory/cpu/hard disk detection screen and it has "jaggies" / weird discolored pixels all over or something similar to what happens when a vid card Fan stops working. I restart it and it has no video. I'm convinced that its the motherboard again (he uses the onboard Geforce 6100 as video). Like the previous time, there were no beeps or so at start up.
What could cause this though? It has happened in two different occasions with the same brand new board. Any ideas?

Oops sorry it was 25. BTW what do you mean my PSU blowing things up? I thought it was working fine.
i had a friend whose psu kept blowing mobo's up. we got one rma'd, put the new one in and it wouldnt work. thinking it was a bad rma we sent it back in.
the next time we got one we did the same thing and got nothing... back to rma. the next one we got we tried it in another machine and it worked.
We were about to put it back in his machine, when i thought of changing the psu, just in case, u know out of the blue thing! it worked okay.
How did we find out it was the psu? I tried the psu in another machine and it failed to work after that...

App store won't open after running time machine reinstall

my HD crashed last week, got it replaced and just got my iMac back (20" intel). I ran a restore from my Time Machine backup from before the crash (took forever, but finished).
All looked fine but I found two problems...
1) Safari would crash without opening. I fixed that by just downloading and reinstalling Safari.
2) the App store does the same thing. the icon jumps a few times and then just stops and won't open. Unfortunately, it's part of the OS and it doesn't seem Apple allows direct downloads of the App Store app. I'm current on my OS so I'm not sure how to fix this problem.
Again, summary, restore from Time Machine, App Store won't open, OS is up-to-date. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

Problems with upgrading to imovie4 after running fine with imovie3

I have a friend who works with imovie 3. She has a iMac flat screen 800mhz with 512mb ram. She has made about nine movies using imovie3 and everything was working fine. She then tried to upgrade to iMovie4 (I know dont fix it if aint broke) and now her movies are all choppy, if you try to run the whole movie. It is fine however if you run a couple three frames at a time. It is almost like it gets overwelmed and starts and stops. We tried going back to imovie3 with no success (this was after a format/ reinstall of her osx 10.3).
I tried these movies on my machine (mac mini 1.5ghz with 512mb ram) using imovie 4 and they seem to run almost flawlessly). Can someone please shed some light on this as I am clueless on how to move forward.
Thanks ahead for your much needed help.

Help - Macbook Pro won't start after running update

I just checked the FAQs here and ran several searches and have not found an answer to my problem. I sure hope someone here can help.
Today I installed the big batch of updates Apple released recently (I think it was on July 31) on my 2.4 GHz Macbook Pro. When I turned it on, I was told there was one last update that required me to turn off the machine and then hold down the power button.
I did, and the machine started to come on, but I guess I held the button down a little too long. Now the machine won't turn on. Everytime I press the button, I hear the same sound I always get when I turn on my machine, except that now the sound just goes on and on and on, and the MBP never actually boots up.
I wish I could remember the exact name of the update. I think it might be the EFI Firmware Update 1.2 that's described at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproefifirmwareupdate12.html. That scares me because the words "Important: Do not interrupt the update" suggest things can go badly if the update doesn't go right the first time.
Any advice as to what I should do?

That sounds like an interrupted firmware update. And Macs with interrupted firmware updates are very unhappy Macs!
You will need to restore your firmware to it's original state, then reapply the update. For this, you'll need to create a Firmware Restoration CD.
See this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303469
Here's one of the more important sections of the page: +"If your computer is already in this state, you'll need to download the software and create the CD on another Macintosh computer, or you can take your computer to an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to restore your firmware. This CD can be created on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macintosh computers."+
You might be better off just taking it in to an Apple Store.
Ps. When you get a chance, you might want to update OS information in your forum settings - I'm pretty sure you're not running 10.3.8 Panther on your MBP!

Phone won't charge after running dead

My blackberry torch seems to be a bit faulty in some way at the min , I've recently purchased several batteries for the phone, all of which working perfectly when I leave the shop, when home I charge them up to full and use it as normal no problems. I continue to use the phone until it completely runs out of charge but when it comes to charging it again it shows a battery with a Red Cross through it and after reading other comments of just leaving it to charge I did that but nothing happened so went back to the shop they tested the battery only to find it completely unuseable and me having to buy a new one. Now this has happened to me a few times and I don't want to purchase any more until the problem is solved so is there anybody that couldn't help me solve my problem please ?

The likely problem is that "on device" battery is deeply drained.
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

Hard drive won't mount after running disk utility repair

I have an iMac with a 320gb hard drive. It will not mount. The small horible wheel started sining so I retared. It could not find the start-up disk. I restared with the CD, after doing this twice the disk was visible in disk untility. I have ran this 3 times and it says the node is incorrect and it cannot be reapired by Disk Untility. It will not mount.
Is there any other way to save the disk so I can get my files off.
Any help is welcomed

You would need the Firewire cable. If you get one then you can use Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire to transfer your files to another drive.

Internal hard drive won't mount after running Tech Tools Pro 5

HELP.
We have an imac 2ghz Intel Core 2 running OS 10.6.8.
I ran Tech Tools Pro 5 to rebuild directory, optimize files, optimize volume. It ran over nightbut seemed to hang up optimizing the volume.
Now the HD doesn't mount.
I've tried a few fixes. Including running disk utility from a CD. The disk utility says the directory is okay but doesn't see the HD to verify or repair permissions.
I've tried zapping the pram and safe boot, neither of which worked.
I've been able to use the computer by booting from an external start up hd.
Oddly, I ran a Time Machine back up prior to running TTP, but for some reason the only back up I see is from 3 months ago.
Not sure why the recent back up didn't happen, but were missing some very important recent docs.
I downloaded a trial version of Stellar Pheonix Mac Data Recovery and it seems to be able to see all of the data on the main HD.
I'm wondering whether or not to spend $100 for full version to attempt to restore content of HD to an external.
If I do this, I assume I'll have to erase the HD and reinstall data from the Stellar Pheonix collection, hoping that it's all intact.
Does anyone have any other suggestions to get the HD mounted????

Hi, never "Optimize" a drive before Repairing it AND having a backup clone to boot from.
I assume I'll have to erase the HD and reinstall data from the Stellar Pheonix collection, hoping that it's all intact.
No, I don't think you want an erase at all, you want a freah external drive to recover to first off.

NVIDIA driver won't load after running Radio Update

I have a mega 180 pc. I recently had some problems while installing virus protection sw. Long story short, I got it working again and tried running radio webupdate. I didn't know what it did but my computer rebooted and now no longer works correctly. I have restored most functionality with the exception of the following:
* Internet no longer works
* NVIDIA Geforce4 MX Integrated GPU will not load!
I consistenly get the following message when I try to load the driver
"error occurred during the installation of device"
"The required section was not found in the INF"
Any clue what is going on here and how I get this working again?
I have noticed a few comments that radio webupdate is a "firmware" update software that supposedly works over the internet. How can I tell which version of firmware I have?
If I try to re-install the firmware from "MEGA 180 Firmware 0C.zip" using a dos boot disk will this correct my problem?
Thanks, in advance...

flash the old firmware back to the Bluebird module. i don't think there is an update for the Mega 180, the RadioWebUpdate utility was only for the 651 i believe
not sure how it would affect anything else though, but you might like to try a Repair install of Windows to see if it will fix it. there is a sticky in the Operating Systems forum with detailed instructions

Mac Pro early 2009 won't boot after running 1.8.2 update

It even does not get into recovery mode. A grey screen with dots appear.

Hold down the Option key at Startup. This invokes the Startup Manager, whose code is all in ROM. It will then draw an Icon for each potentially bootable drive.
If there are defects on the screen during this process, you probably have a Hardware problem.

ITunes won't launch after running Disk Slim

In an attempt to regain some free space on the hard drive of my Intel iMac, I ran the “Drive Slim” application contained in the Drive Genius 3 suite of applications. It was set to find, and remove, all Universal Binaries (non-Intel Support) items and all Cache/Temporary Items (not accessed in the last 14 days).
When the application had completed the task of finding and removing these files, I rebooted to find that iTunes could no longer be opened. When I click on the dock icon for iTunes 9.1.1, the icon bounces 5 times and nothing happens – no even an error message. Because iTunes opened before I performed the Drive Slim operation I am pretty certain that an item was removed that is required for the proper functioning of iTunes. I did a clean install of the Snow Leopard System Software and of the iTunes 9.1.1 application and it still will not launch.
Please help me understand - short of a complete backup restore (because I will lose about a month of data!) - what I can do to correct this issue.

I got in touch with Drive Genius tech support (you'll have to call, they are 'backed up' and aren't answering email).
The analyst was good. Got my info, told me he'd be in touch with engineering and would be back in touch.
He got back to me in about an hour with a suggested solution that worked.
De-install flip4mac and reinstall it.
That's all it took for me. I hope this works for anyone else with the problem.
