iMac 11.2 startup problem

Hello world

I'm trying to restore 10.6 on an iMac 11.2 but does not start system recovery dvd, usb, or internet. All I see is a gray screen and the Apple logo.

Option-cmd-P-R does not help. Also installing 10.6 in target mode does not help. This iMac won't start SL

Strangely enough 10.10 installation goes smoothly. Unfortunately 10.10 is not an option because the software I use to run only on 10.6.4

Ideas of Anny?

Are you using the original gray install dvd or a Snow Leopard retail disk? You cannot use an installation dvd from a different model.

    Hello

    I had an another hp laptop which had a problems but the know-how could not fix it so they give money and I brought another Hp 4 days but then she had to be exchanged because of defective. Currys and PCWORLD even gave, but the problem kept pass. So I just paid the HP one and brought 3 days LENOVO Z50-75 it y a. the first Hp laptop, I had, had dns clients warnings in Event Viewer when you use wireless. Same thing on the new computer hp laptop. This problem still occurs in the LENOVO one too. These events started in Windows 10 for all laptops hp and lenovo. My computer laptop lenovo came with windows 10 in any case. So either it's a bug that should be fixed by a new update for the network adapter needs to be released. Computer laptop lenovo has Qualcomm Atheros the old hp laptop realtek the new computer hp laptop that was defective was and intel double wireless broadband and the same edition, DNS CLIENT EVENTS 1014 WARNINGS are still happening. This is definetley not my ISP fault because I replaced the router, more they found nothing on a week 2 diagnostics test on my internet. SO I just want to say lenovo that if there is a way you can fix this. Another thing is that after installation WIN10 threshold 2 on Lenovo Z50-75 when starting of the laptop it shows the logo screen once then black lenovo and then black screen again, then it boots. I have also all the latest updates. So if there is a way guys can fix that also. I'll post this in the microsoft forums too if they can help. Thank you

  • iMac mid 2011 - GPU problem - no guarantee - not under replacement program

    Hello, I have an iMac 27 inch mid 2011 (bought on 28.05.2011 including Apple Care). The screen went blue and the iMac last weekend had problems at the start (screen stuck on gray - boot loop). I figured well known GPU problem , so I took it to my dealer.

    Diagnosis: GPU problem, but given that the replacement program ends Apple decided that I have to pay for repair costs: around 600 euros.

    Apple has decided that they will replace the video card for free for four years after the first retail computer sales. I am deeply disappointed by Apple since I am an Apple user since 1992 and it feels like they have let me down. Apple knows clearly that there is a problem with the video card. It seems that I have no chance that my iMac was not showing no signs of video card problem earlier. I can't use my iMac a lot because of work, so if I had turned on the iMac, a little more or let run together weeks I would have had more "luck"?

    Thanks, I called Apple and asked if they would reconsider their position, but the assistance service said they couldn't do anything for me. I kindly asked the Assistant if he could talk with his manager, but it did not help.

    Is there something else I could do? I am disappointed by Apple because I think they don't care for users for a long time and they force you to buy a new iMac. For iPhone 5, there is a program of replacing the battery. I took mine to my dealer, but my iPhone does not apply to Apple, the battery is quite good. So, if I had taken my iMac to the dealer with no sign of problem that apple would say, it does not apply to the video card replacement program.

    Is it possible to convince Apple to take care of my video card problem? For the moment, I agreed to pay for the fix, I need my iMac, but I will continue to find the solution of Apple (refund or half the cost).

    Y at - it advice in this regard, how can I convince Apple changing its position?

    You do not discuss Apple on these forums, we are all users like you. Apple does not read or participate in these forums. If you have a problem with your iMac, bring it to a Apple Store or call AppleCare or Service customer and plead your case.

    Good luck.

  • HP Pavilion 23: startup problems

    Because we bought our computer in October 2014, we had many problems with the start, problems of drivers, startup problems, graphic card problems and more. It was supposed to be fixed once by the bu retailer still, there are questions. The biggest problem is starting:-it freezes, error messages that say lag not found drivers or disk not detected though when checked is. Also, we have done numerous resets hard which are just a quick temporary solution and back problems. We pay every month for a service contract with the retailer, but they mostly just try to run the store for our computer repair you... NOT HAPPY because for the third day, we bought there have been problems and we haven't bought a computer to sit in a workshop constantly, not at the price we paid coupled with the monthly fee for whatr amounts to nothing. Is there something we can do to solve this problem without driving miles and being without a computer that actually, we bought to USE?

    I have a laptop model Dell Inspiron N5110 running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - Bit.  I have Norton Security Suite running - seems to be normal.  When I started my pc this morning, I got the dreaded blue screen of death.  A window will appear which indicates that there is a startup problems and offers several options to correct the startup problem.  One option is to run a startup repair program.  I tried and failed, then it has proposed restoring to a previous date program.  It does not work.  He suggested then reload the Windows program by providing more options of Windows rereloading.  I'll try the drive backuo system I created when I got the new computer-, but then, for reasons unknown, my pc suddenly decided to restart all of himself and it started normally.  Happy, happy.  But then a window pops up that says my computer has a device problem that has been identified as "ROOT\LEGACY_BHDRVX64\0000" she added that "BHDRVX64" was absent, does not, or that he needed a driver.

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1 TB external hard disks around $ 70 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    Can you also please make sure that all network interfaces are correct.
    Ping the private sector of both nodes of interconnection and make sure that the servers can communicate.

    You should also look at 'How to Troubleshoot Grid Infrastructure startup problems [ID 1050908.1]'

    You said in your 1st post + "suddenly 2 days back NODE1 got failed...". » +
    That happened the node does get deported, did the crash of the instance...?
    Have you looked in the nodes of the log files if there are errors during this time? I don't understand that you can't get any kind of message in the log files to give us an indication of what could be wrong.

    Please look at all the files following logs on both nodes during the period when the 1st omitted node:

  • iMac (27 inch, 5 retina k, end of 2015) startup problem

    I am currently using late 2015 5 k retina 27-inch iMac.

    My iMac doesn't always dΘmarre as expected. There will be a start-up chime, but the screen just remains completely black. It takes sometimes more than 5 minutes to start magically after freezing to the black screen. And when I managed to connect, my mouse (USB) could freeze a few times. I downloaded Smoothmouse to kill the mouse acceleration.

    I tried to reset the SMC and the NVRAM, however it does not seem to solve the problem. I have faced this same problem after exchanging the 3 sets of iMac.

    Wondering if a defective mouse could be the cause of this problem? Or could it be the Smoothmouse. However, I still don't think that an iMac could be so vulnerable.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

When I'm trying to boot my laptop it shows the flashing question mark and it does not start after that. For a while it worked, but after the update the laptop is never again.

    After reading all the articles related to this issue and even after trying it the entire process for the departure of mac. I'm not able to start.

    I tried all the normal recovery process in the process of recovery of the internet, but still it does not work for me. When I select the disk utility in the dialog box, the drive does not appear here, so I can't erase and start to reinstall the operating system.

    What should I do now? I was looking for OEM SSD, but it's very expensive. with this prize money of (here in INDIA RS - 50 k) I can get the Macbook Air.

    We have no way of knowing exactly what you have tried that doesn't work unless you tell us. A flashing question mark boot means that your Mac is unable to locate a startup disk to boot from.

    If you haven't tried... start your Mac holding the key Option. That should launch the boot window manager have been, you can select the startup disk, and then click on restart.

    If this does not help, you will need to take the Mac for the service.

  • 2207 monitor: HP: w2207h monitor startup problem

    My HP monitor only has not been commissioning correctly several months now. When it appeared everything first, the monitor has refused to start when the power button has been pressed. I noticed a noise "rattling or burst" and could see that the blue power light was bike works at short intervals. After some time the monitor came; However, as the time (weeks) traveled by the monitor continued to click and not to open the splash screen. When it happened I pressed the button of keyboard sleep and distributed, and for some reason, the monitor eventually would come on.

    The monitor is not connected to a TV, it is only connected to the computer by VGA cable. I thought that the problem could be something to do with either the screen saver sleep or the settings mode, so I checked the power options and found that the two 'turn it off display", and"Put the computer to sleep"parameters had never chosen as their option. I ran the HP Hardware Diagnostic tools to monitor, but the tests were only good for alignment, color, brightness, etc.  I also checked to see if she needed a driver updated by the following process: computers > properties > tasks > Device Manager, and then clicking on other devices and by double clicking on the monitor; on the general tab, it displays the message, "this device is functioning correctly.

    After a few weeks over time, sleep button thing has stopped working and I tried to leave the monitor on the night with the computer turned off. When the computer was returned the next day, the monitor took over the rattling again, but still it would end by lights.

    Currently, I've resorted to press the button sleep when the monitor does not start alone, so far successfully startups, but I'm afraid it will cease to begin.

    Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

    The computer is a desktop PC of HP Pavilion a6637c-b with a HP w2207h monitor LCD 22 inch flat screen with Auto Picture Rotation function. The OS is a Windows Home Premium, 64-bit edition. The computer has 5 GB memory and 640 GB hard drive. I will provide more information hardware or software if necessary.

  • Flow of HT 7-5709 - Boot/startup problems

    I just bought the HP Jet 7 tablet.  The first time I turned on the Tablet, I saw the HP logo for a few seconds and the device off.  The dots has not yet come full circle.  I thought it might be a power problem, so I plugged it and saw the charging symbol on the screen.  I waited for a while and tried again.  I had to hold the power button on 5 + seconds until I could see the backlight lights up so I know it wasn't sleep.

    This time, he said "Automatic repair of preparation."  Points of fact just two revolutions and the device suddenly stops.  Next time, he had no any text and points to the subject a spin before stopping.

    I let it charge overnight.  I tried from the start this morning and it alternates between the two start modes.  Points are about a year and a half laps if there is no text and about two if it says "Automatic repair of preparation."

    I'm able to get in the boot without difficulty menu.  The diagnostic system is no problem.  The only thing that stands out on the screen "System information", it is that the "born on Date" is "00/00/0000." The date of the main battery is "27/10/2014."

    I went to the website listed on the start menu (hp.com/go/techcenter/startup), but don't see anything relevant.

    If I select F11 (System Restore) in the start menu, it returns me to a screen with an HP logo and the text "Please wait".  Points do two or three laps and the powers of the device down.

    Suggestions?

    Yes, I had this problem and a few others here did too.  The solution is to run the battery completely down and it will say 'reset CMOS' when you put it to the top.  It should then be started normally.  You can expedite the discharge of the battery by running UEFI Boot Menu F2 System Diagnostics = > System Tests = > large trial = > loop up to the error.  If you have an OTG adpater, you can also plug a USB hub without power or whatever USB devices you have and who's going to pull it down faster.

    Another option is to disconnect the battery, HP Jet 7 Tablet Maintenance and Service Guide says this can be done by simply removing the back cover, but this seems incorrect.  I watched my 7 steam and the cable of the battery falls below the intermediate mount cover so this must also be removed to expose the system board and the battery connector, it is held by six screws.  I opted to run the battery instead.

    Once the shelf upward, toward the latest EFI firmware update should hopefully prevent him of happening again.
