  Thank you.

  Just ran Auslogics disk defrag in Mode of AWS. It worked.
  So who says that Auslogics can be run in safe mode?
  I would speculate that you can manually run Vista own defrag Mode application without failure as well.
  No, I was not looking for it as I did not intend to wait 2-4 hours.

  See screenshot...

• Cannot defragment the hard drive AND cannot start the computer in safe mode

  I have been unable to defragment my hard drive because it tells me that chkdsk /f planned.  I tried manually works in command mode nothing works.  I was advised to try to start up in safe mode, but when I do that all I get is a screen of command lines, and my computer freezes there.  What I'm doing wrong and what I can do differently?

  If you try to defragment a volume and see a message like this:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume (disk) that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to run chkdsk with error correction.

  You can click on start, run and enter in the box:

  Chkdsk /r

  Click OK and answer Yes to schedule the chkdsk next time XP restarts, restart your system and keep your fingers crossed that the chkdsk /r clears the dirty bit (you may need to run once or twice).

  If who disobeys, then you will need to start in the XP Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r from there.

• Why is my cpu running fast when starting windows in safe mode?

  I am running windows xp sp3 when I start my computer in safe mode, which looks like it is about to spin out of control. Does anyone know why this is?

  So if I understand correctly, you do not have this problem if you start normally in Windows; It's only when you play online or when you start in safe mode?

  Most likely your disk defragment tool automatically runs it to scan your drive manually, it said: it is not necessary.
  When you say that the noise that's going to turn out of control are you sure it's the hard drive that you hear? Did you open your computer case to check?
  Usually you can hear only the hard disks if they are read or write and it sounds more like a sound of scratching sound of spinning. Most of the modern hard disks is inaudible and is very hard to hear.
  What is strange, is that you say that is happening in mode safe, but don't not after booting normally. In most cases, it is the opposite where it happens normally, but not in safe mode.
  If all goes well, after further clarification, I have more ideas.

• There are 2 in safe mode administrator accounts?

  Hi all

  The other day, I started the defragmentation, went to watch a movie, and he had barely begun... Stopped and asked a question on another forum... They said to do it in safe mode... Well, when I arrived the next day, 2-3 days ago, there were 2 admin accounts it!  The 1st did not have a password, and it was called Administrator... It was also only the Recycle Bin on the desktop!  The 2nd option was my usernamed created Admin account... This is the one I used... Always took like 4-5 hours to run defrag... It has been much too fragmented...

  Are there suppose to be 2 admin accounts?  Can u add a password for the account named Administrator. Or have I been hacked?

  Who responds to this with what I think is true, will get a BIG sloppy kiss from me!

  E........

  Hi all

  Thank you!!!  YEP, I thought you'd be good!  Some come get it! HAHA!

  Thanks for your time!

• After Malware that my login is disabled cannot start in safe mode

  Hi if anyone can help.

  A friend tried to watch movies online, I'm not sure of the site they visited, but were asked to install MacKeeper and I believe that they did, as I noticed it was to download and installed the following day and I asked them why they did this and they said it was the only way to watch movies!

  Anyway to cut a long story short my friend then called me to say they received a "pop" window to say that my computer has a virus and call a number of 1800... I told them to do nothing certainly not call the number and I would like to sort.

  So basically since then that then I can not connect to my main account at the start, the section where you type your password won't let me type into it and there is a symbol of the brand of 'question' next to it. If I hold my mouse over the question mark I get a dialog box stating "Please enter your password to iCloud as... as well as the date. I can only login as a guest and I cannot connect in 'safe' mode by holding down the SHIFT key.

  I deleted the MacKeeper Application (and also another OS player application that is newly installed the same day!) and empty the memory cache of my browsers and also now upgraded to 10.11.6

  I also run disk utilities, but still I'm getting this problem trying to connect to my main user account!

  I think that it is some kind of malware, does anyone have ideas how to solve at least the connection problem?

  If I could stamp out to see if there is any malware stuff going on behind the scenes it would be too great!

  All suggestions welcome.

  Thanks, Ciaran

  

  How did you uninstall the MacKeeper application? Please be as specific as possible, unless you have followed the steps, I suspect that your system has installed to uninstall. If this is the case then you will need to re-install and uninstall immediately by following the instructions of developers. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to do a wipe and installing OS X and then manually install your applications and restore your data from your Time Machine backup.

  I'm sure you probably learned to not let this 'friend' enter the 100' of your computer.

• Something is wrong! Start in safe mode, but it turns out that for Normal mode.

  Mac Mini (late 2014)

  Processor 3 GHz Intel Core i7

  16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory

  Start drive Macintosh HD

  Iris 1536 MB Intel graphics card

  Monitor: DELL U2713HM, use the Apple adapter to connect to the Mac Mini

  I upgraded from Capitan in Sierra and got the problem that after I pressed the power button, the screen is full white. This problem has occurred on the Sierra, never happened in Capitan.

  I went to the Apple store today, they made a few diagnostic and found no problem. Everything is good. System is fine too. In the Apple store, they showed me to press SHIFT after I press the power button and it will start up the Mac in safe mode. They told me this can sometimes help fixing the boot issue. My Mac actually works very well in the Apple store. I tried the power and turned off twice in the store, and there is no problem. I am happy and come home.

  After I go home, I turn on my Mac, it always has the same problem before you go to the Apple store, after I pressed the power button, the screen is completely blank. So I tried to boot mode safe by pressing Shift and taking until I saw the Apple logo on the screen.

  After I log in, I checked my Mac mode, this is actually Normal mode!

  If I intended to power to the top of my Mac in safe mode but it turns out to be normal.

  If I do not press SHIFT and hold it pressed down after I turn on the power, I'll have just a white screen!

  It works very well in Apple store, but not in my own House.

  Anyone know what is happening?

  What is different between your system and the store? Have you taken your own keyboard & they were they that? If you use a bluetooth keyboard try using a wired USB one instead. Is this an original Apple keyboard?

  Do you have other devices connected? If you delete them.

  Please see the article below from Apple, it has information about starting in safe mode without keyboard (by setting a NVRAM variable). If you enter a work boot, you can put the mini in safe mode from there, via the command appears on this page...

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

  I would like to start trying to make another bootable OS disc - either an installation disc or a complete operating system to see if the Mac can be started OK to a different installation of OS - which indicates if the operating system or disk are part of your question, or if the material is simply unable to work correctly at all.

• Can not start safe mode

  I know how to do this. Whenever I try, I go about this Mac, and then the reporting system and double click on the software.

  Then he said: I'm in normal mode. I tried with two keyboards, to check if the shift key works.

  Restart the computer. At the chime, press on and hold down the SHIFT key until the Apple logo appears, and you see the progress indicator. If you are in Safe Mode , then you will get a login screen that says Safe Mode. Make sure that you are using an Apple keyboard and mouse. Disconnect all other devices, as appropriate.

• El capitan 10.11.6 freezes randomly without safe mode

  So, after the upgrade to El Capitan on my iMac, retina pro, I started to have problems with the mac that freezes all the time (yesterday, couldn't work because it freezes a few minutes after opening--more than 10 times).

  Tried all that I found in the forums, and not not not using SAFARI, unplug the video plugins, diagnostic app, etc. Nothing works

  It only works on safe mode, but does not have the extension to see videos for example (which I need to work).

  Today, it happens the same thing - I'm in safe mode to write the email now, or would freeze already.

  What is happening is that by using the mac without safe mode, the mouse + keyboard freezes and nothing else happens.

  It's really annoying - I just changed from windows to have a reliable system that is certainly not the case.  Has anyone observed this behavior and is there a solution?

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem / test? Really panic - computer is less then 1 year.

  See you soon,.

  M.

  PS: I do not know how to make the backup of the system so can not go back to the last installation (as indicated in some forum).

  Usually problems are caused by old or incompatible software or other software that you can have as "cleaners" or antivirus.

  Launch Etrecheck (a utility by a respected member of the community) and post the report here.

  It lets you know what your hardware and software configuration and possibly suggest what may be causing you trouble.

• WiFi only works in safe mode

  WiFi worked normally on my Mac Pro and then suddenly yesterday I received signal and an IP address but pages load. Other devices and computers work well with my wifi router. I can also surf the web very well when I boot in safe mode. However, when I restart my computer, then no wifi again. I can then go back into safe mode and get internet. I did no new software updates, installations or router configuration changes that may cause this problem from one day to the other. Anyone have any suggestions?

  Since then, I tried the following:

  -restart my router

  -renew the DHCP lease

  -flushed out DNS cache

  "- removed 4 files of./Library/preferences/SystemConfiguration/" then restarted computer

  -rebooted in safe mode

  -reset the SMC

  -turned off bluetooth

  -hidden "iTunes Helper" elements of opening under my user account. The only listed element.

• iMac works fine with safe mode only

  iMac works fine in safe mode, but in normal mode, it freezes constantly, the wheel that turns, the freezing of the apps, and when I try to restart, it gets stuck. I have to hard reboot. I tried to reinstall the operating system, which did not help. I have reset the NVRAM, but it has not solved the problem. I came across another post in 2013, with another user who was having a similar problem. There are detailed instructions to run diagnostic tests via terminal and display the results. This seemed to fix the problems of the user, but I don't know what to do with the information it generates. I have an iMac 2009 El Capitan 10.6.11 running. Can someone help me understand what the problem is?

  If you have any type of antivirus, cleaning or ANY other third party maintenance application installed, please find the developers instructions and uninstall. At best, these types of applications are 100% useless and at worst they cause more harm (similar to what you are experiencing) than good.

  If you don't have one of these types of applications installed, run a report of EtreCheckof your system. We then look for obvious problems. Please click on the link, download the application and run the report. Once you have the report, please copy and paste into your response to this post.

• Finder screwy except in safe mode

  Yesterday my finder started acting weird. New windows would not display the folders and files correctly, regardless of the mode, and I could not navigate through the files or boxes in windows. The search function provided the empty windows. The office became inaccessible, followed shortly after by the dock.

  Regained control of some last night even if a restart of the command-opt, but the finder always does not work normally. Today, I did a boot cold (shift key) safe mode, which allows the basic finder functionality, too small. I need a real difficulty. The fact that the finder works in safe mode, logically, gives to think it's a software conflict rather than a hardware problem. I do not know.

  The disruption has surfaced, on the other hand, when I was customizing the toolbar, move the search bar more far to the left, is visible in small windows. Which may or may not be causal. I know just the ability of my finder to find things is obstructed upward.

  Someone has to meet this problem before on Mavericks? I am running 10.9.5. All wisdom welcome here.

  You could try to remove the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file and the Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.finder file. Then relaunch the Finder by pressing the COMMAND-OPTION-ESC keys to open the Manager tasks. Select the Finder, and then click the restart button.

  If your folder/Home/Library / is not visible, then see the following:

  Three ways to make the House/library folder Visible

  A. this method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder, and paste the following at the command prompt:

  chflags nohidden ~/Library

  Press RETURN.

  B. click on the desktop, press the Option (⌥) key, select library in the Finder menu go.

  C. go to the folder in the Finder menu select go. Paste the following text in the path field:

  ~/Library

  Click the OK button.

• Firefox worked FINE yesterday and it auto-updated and now whenever I load the Web site, it crashes immediately, even in safe mode. Help please?

  I tried the following-
  refreshed Firefox
  uninstalled/reinstalled firefox
  safe mode
  removed the malwarebytes program due to work for someone else
  has ran my spyware, zero results returned

  Chrome works very well. Everything else is fine. Firefox had no problem until it auto update last night. I can't submit a crash report because every time he asks me I say Yes and then he tells me 'problem presentation report '.

  This looks like a problem with the NVIDIA Network Access Manager.

  • BP-db6d3841-B1A5-49B3-b0bf-4bdac2151222

  There is a version of Firefox 43.0.2 planned to block this NVIDIA driver, you can try to install through this site:

  • http://download.CDN.Mozilla.NET/pub/Firefox/releases/43.0.2/Win32/en-us/

  Otherwise, you can check the control panel so you can find "NVIDIA Network Access Manager" or "NVIDIA ForceWare Network Manager" and uninstall this software.
