Any imac still crashes at startup

I have just recived an OBS iMac (20-inch early 2008). It has never been connected to the internet, so it has never been updated. The hard disk is almost full, and it was constantly freezing upwards. After the previous owner bought a new computer, they gave the old one to me. I was counting on factory reset it, but when I push the power button it seems to freeze instantly after hearing the chime. Occasionally, he displays the folder with a question mark or apple, but hangs soon after. I tried to hold 'shift' on start-up, but also ('command' + 'R') and 'option', but it freezes on a white screen.

I was wondering if there is anything else I could try to reset. If this isn't the case, I was counting on the attempt to start using an external hard drive, then reset the HDD internal. It's the first mac I owned, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

Command + R (recovery of the Internet) does not work on a Mac running 10.5.2.

The problems go beyond freezes at startup, considering it's a Mac of opportunity > Changing owner of a Mac of opportunity | Communities

The question mark at startup folder means that the Mac cannot locate a system folder to boot from and there that most likely the drive has failed on a Mac in early 2008

  • Premiere Pro 5.5 still crashes at startup

    How can I get this installed so that I can use it?

    Thank you

    So, I thought about it.

    If I look at the splash screen, it goes through the loading of DLLs and plugins.  The last of them showed before the crash is QuickLooks.aex.  Was not clear if this meant it crashed in the, or crushed right after she (on other online, or maybe some process is planned, if it's the last), but I remember I got shots as part of Magic Bullet for After Effects (and he settled at first too) and since it does not part of the regular distribution of first I suspect.

    So, I've disabled the plugin (by renaming the extension), and voila!  First charge.

    I can live with this solution.  And a diagnostic test can remember - it might be the plugins.  Look at the splash screen for any plugin loaded, especially if it of third and try that pulling out of the process.

    In my view, first also has an option to start without loading plugins, but nobody mentioned that.  This is another obvious step.

    Thank you

    Hmm, both of your accidents involve ATI display drivers. You can search for an update. AMD has a small app that simplifies the process of searching for the best update of automatic detection. However, the updates themselves are huge, so I hope you have a good internet connection.

  • Firefox still crashes about 10 seconds after starting

    Hello

    I have an old iMac running 10.6.8. After I run Firefox, it crashes after 10 seconds (the beachball of death appears for a few seconds, and then it crashes).

    I tried the following:

    • Run utility disk to repair the disk (was Ok)
    • Disk utility to repair permissions of the drive running (fixed some of them, no of course Firefox related)
    • Remove Firefox app
    • And rename ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox ~/Library/Application Support/NotFirefox so it will not be used
    • Reinstall the latest 23.0.1 of the Firefox 23.0.1.dmg Firefox
    • It still crashes
    • Run Safe Mode and it still crashes

    The bug below report comes from the crash to safe mode. He had previously worked for many years.

    Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    Hi Corey Guthrie.

    I see that windows Explorer crashes on startup. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. what security software is installed on the computer?

    2. are you able to boot to desktop screen?

    Method 1.

    If you are able to boot to the desktop screen, you can try a system restore and check.

    System Restore: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/system-restore

    Important: System Restore will return all system files not as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system. If it was your intention with this tool to recover a deleted file to non-system, try using a file instead of system restore recovery program.

    Method 2.

    If you are unable to boot to the desktop, and then follow these steps.

    Step 1.

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if that helps.

    Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    If you are able to start the computer in safe mode, you can restore the system to safe mode.

    Once you are able to get to the screen and the computer still restarts, then you can perform these steps.

    Step 2.

    A clean boot to test if any element of service or third party application startup is causing this issue.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3 of article start normal to start.

     

    Step 3.

    You can run the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

    Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

    Step 4.

    I suggest that you can exercise SFC scan and check if that helps. The SFC/SCANNOW command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    For more information how to make SFC / scan, please follow this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

  • Captivate 9 crashes on startup

    I ran Technical Communication Suite 2015, Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 without problem on a machine Windows 7 Professional to i5. I just upgraded to a machine of Windows 7 Professional i7 with more memory and a larger drive. I disabled the old machine and everything has been installed on the new machine. Everything seemed OK at first, but after allowing Adobe Device Manager to upgrade to Adobe Creative cloud and taking updates from Photoshop and Illustrator, Captivate now blocks immediately at startup.

    After you have reinstalled without success I uninstalled, ran AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and reinstalled everything. I tested all applications and all including Captivate started OK. I noticed the fonts in the browser and looked very jagged and attributes this something which must do the cleaning tool dialog boxes. I noticed that ClearType was turned off and turned back on taking of Illustrator and Photoshop updates. Captivate started crashing again. I'm a little unsure as to if this is due to the Creative Cloud update or the company of ClearType. I disabled Cleartype, restarted, but Captivate still crashes.

    What happens and how can I solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, after reinstalling Tech Comm Suite again once, Captivate is not crashing on startup. I turned ClearType, restarted, and Captivate still works. It seems to me, really, that was updated for Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator creative cloud beat Captivate. I don't know if it's a bug to report or not, and I really don't like going through the whole process to check it out. Because the way that has happened twice after the updates, I'm confident enough, it was the cause. In any case, I'm working now. The proper order might be to install Photoshop, Illustrator, make updates, and THEN install Tech Comm Suite 2015.

    The lesson of the day seems to be install and update older products before installing the latest products.

  • Acrobat DC crashes at startup [iOS]

    I tried several times to open the program (Acrobat DC) on my iPad Air, but it kept crashing at startup. 2 years worth of documents in the location of the local file. I deleted the app and reinstalled it, my space tablets has not changed. Is it possible that the information is still on my Tablet?

    Hello

    I'm really sorry that you have had a bad experience with the new Acrobat DC application.

    If you uninstall any application (not only Acrobat DC IOS) iOS, iOS will erase all data in associated app, including your PDF documents.  If you have a full backup of your iPad before the Acrobat DC update, you should be able to restore it and turn off the automatic update of the applications.

    You mentioned "two years for a value of documents".  You remember the total size of the documents?  We heard other users they experienced the same or similar accident and had more than 1.5 GB of PDF documents that are stored locally on the iPad.

  • I / CS4 crashes at startup-Suitcase Fusion 3 question?

    I contact Extensis and Isent them a system profile report.  Location for AI CS4 to install their man says he "sees strange things" in it and inquired classic and if I changed the default value.

    Any help will be appreciated!

    I just wrote something in another thread here about the merger and the font book. They don't play nice with them.

    This should have came with your installation Fusion3; see page 8 of this PDF:

    http://doc.us.Extensis.com/SuitcaseFusion3-user-guide-Mac.PDF

    On my workstation, after you set up the font book preferences, I have 'disable' the program by making it an archive .zip so that it does not start.

    To respect your .ai preferences, you must go to the real folder in your 'library' and delete the preferences. Illustrator will recreate this file once you launch it again.

    And you can navigate to the plug-ins folder in the illustrator file to remove the plugin Fusion3.
