• Mac does not start correctly

  Hello, my Imac does not start correctly. When he plays the macsound boots but only half of the load of the boot. Then it restarts.

  What I have done:

  (1) unplug everything and held the power button for 10 seconds.

  (2) held the shift key--> after that I have a few bluish vertical lines

  (3) held cmd + option + P + R-> after I have a few vertical lines bluish, but bigger

  (4) held the c key

  (5) very slow D

  (6) CMD + V-> it's fast to read and to search for errors

  After all these different things, randomly I these bluish vertical lines and sometimes a few flickers on my screen.

  Can someone help me?

  If I need to reinstall I can recover my data?

  I appreciate your help and thanks for your help.

  I solved the problem! I googled a lot and I found that it was the GPU was down. Well, I searched and found the solution...

  I think that apple don't want to hear or see. But if you are a little technical or handyman, Cook your GPU in the oven. Yes, bake your GPU in the oven! See the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vPM41ZmLos

  I warn you all, be very patient and very carefully, or you can destroy your beloved mac. The case may go to an apple store workshop.

• Satellite A100: Does not start a recovery DVDs

  Hi guys.
  First timer here.
  I have read some of the Q & A on reboot problems the A100 since the recovery DVDs.
  It seems I have the same problems as keith.

  I want to start all over again the OS and my laptop does not start from the DVD.
  Tried the standard f12 boot from cd option. tried her "hold C on the boot option.
  Both options end with no joy.

  The screen that says "loading ramdisk image", loads the machine breaks, asks me to wait, then every time the same thing.
  The screen goes black, flashes very quickly and white and then loads from the hard disk as normal.

  Now try to hold my frustration and do something radical.
  I know that in the Q & A previous, the subject is considered as replied...
  other options?

  My following thoughts are to delete/uninstall almost every thing and try and force the thing to boot from the DVD.
  have also copied the dvd and tried to boot from the copy, always with no joy.

  Are there any other suggestions?

  Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?

  is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?

  is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?

  see you soon,
  Martin

  Hello Martin

  To be honest, it's pretty strange question. There is one thing I am interesting for:
  Is - this first time, you try to use a recovery media for the installation of the OS?

  If possible, try to get the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities to see if the same thing will happen.

  In any case, I will try to give you answers to your questions.
  > Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and to start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?
  It will not work. On the recovery of the media it is recovery image and this image must be installed correctly. You cannot "recover DVD in there. Not question

  > is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?
  I would like to know what you understand under the 'essential processes?

  > Is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?
  You can't do this somehow. If you want to 'reset' HARD drive, you must delete the existing partition or delete any OS installation. After having done that, you need to install new OS. All this will be done at the beginning of the recovery procedure.

  I really don't understand what's wrong there. Please answer to my first question, and we will continue this discussion. ;)

• Does not start a recovery disk

  Pavilion a1650y WMCE - overwhelmed by W32/virut.  Regular and partition recovery is compromised.  All parts are original.  I ordered the HP recovery disks, but I'm unable to actually running recovery.  The computer does not start with the 1 disc in the DVD player.  Drive light flashes, but I just get a black screen, that expires after one minute with the message "Reboot and select a suitable boot device or insert boot media and press a key.

  I can boot to a classic XP disk in the drive, so I know that the drive is ok.  I can boot from disc 1 of recovery on another computer (it of a Dell and correctly points out that the discs are not intended for this computer) so I know that the drive is ok.  Hmmm.

  I have reset the BIOS, but that has no effect.

  My first thought was that the mother had been replaced at some point given and tattooed not correctly.  However, I ran a DMI utility to read the specs - and everything exactly matches the tile of the factory.  Product serial number, the nomenclature of HW, RIN, no., type of motherboard, everything.

  I swapped in another hard drive, but the problem persists.  So the problem must be with the motherboard, but I don't know what to try next.  Can I do short of replacing the motherboard (or the purchase of an operating system)?  Just 3 1/2 years, I hope that I don't have a new doorstop...

  Thank you!

  HT

  Have you tried to boot with the drive disconnected to see if it boots to the BIOS screen? It is a step of troubleshooting isolation. A Linux live disk will start under Linux? If this does not work, consider trying another drive of CD/DVD on your PC before looking at the motherboard as the flaw in the system.

  Kind regards

• SIL flashes once every 6 seconds mac does not start

  My mac book pro end 2011 running El capitan (not sure what version of El Captain) short charges a month ago, when my charger is broken... somewhere, I'm the charger at work now (after a month, it was completely empty until about 2-3 days ago), he would not start I can not reset nvram or smc as the mac won't even turn on.

  If without connecting the charger I press the power button or indicator, nothing happens, but if I connect the charger, then press the indictator of costs it market showing no charge as Whiteout pressing me the button power mac continues to try to start the ISL flashes on the left, the fan turns, there is a noise coming from the hard drive the screen is completely black and this is repeated every 6-7 seconds...

  I thought that it was because the battery was completely discharged so I let it charge for 4 hours the first day then for about 6 to 7 hours the second day then topic 2-3 hours on the third day it was yesterday, so I read a tutorial or something online that said to hold comand, shift, option, r, p and the power button at the same time for 10 seconds and then let it, and press the power button Yet once I did this, but nothing happened, it was in the same loop, then I repeated the process without holding shift it wasn't too then I held command, t nothing happens so in desperation I held the power button for about 10 seconds, the fan has started a lot of dust exploded and fun trotted it started normally then I ran a virus scan and a control of being using bit defender, nothing was wrong with the results of bit Defender, I will attach be check the results soon... all the while there was an X mark on the indicator of battery... then I restarted the mac and he returned to its previous state, I've tried everything to run back removed the disc hard cords battery cables and cd drive leads to the Board and tried to boot with various combinations of even (what I did the day I got the charger is working IE the first day, but two trials failed to produce results and my mac is back on the loop and I'm sick using a phone to post my question) , I am not able display the screen shots I ttok the activity monitor and the edition of text file that I saved with being check the results I copied both of them on my phone so that I am able to provide using any other method, I would really appreciate if someone can help me

  I found a way to solve this problem! This is only a temporary fix and it dosent charge the battery, but I can use the mac on AC only when it is plugged so that's how it happened the charger is plugged into the mac and socket is in the same loop as explained above, then when I remove the battery leads to the mother board or logic board do not know who , but one at the top, then the mac tries to start u see the Apple screen and then it turns off back. Then after a few seconds the fan starts and SIL flashes 4-5times and turns off, then starts again now, when I connect the battery cables again once (while the lights flash) now it starts perfectly and without brand X on the battery icon it shows not charging and the task kernel upward a big piece of my ram There is absolutely no free ram, I found the culprit core task and it is a process owned by the root, that it was something like coreutd I have strength that quitting smoking and the RAM is free as usual when I restart I have to go through all these things that I've done to start the first time and this time another process owned by the root with the task of kernel so I stop and ram is normal again every time I restart the ram is completely sold out

  I know that I need a windows recovery disk, I went to the microsoft website. He said I need to contact HP, they said go here. I typed in my product, and he refused to help me if I'm here.

• Satellite L350-212 - does not start a recovery disk

  Got this L350-212 running Vista Basic.

  It loads up to the home screen Toshiba prompting f2 for Setup etc. but does not recognize f2 or f8 or f12 at startup recovery disk. Goes to a black screen with stable cursor in the upper left corner (_) does not blink. Waited a while to see if it was just really slow but nothing.

  Don't know what to do... any ideas?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

  Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS? Maybe that s not the case so it boot recovery disc doesn t.

  If you have another bootable disk, check another. Perhaps the recovery disk is scratched and t can be read.

• MS Office Mac does not start under 10.11.2. How to return to 10.11.1?

  I made the fatal mistake of leaving the El Capitan 10.11.2 upgrade run today about 15:30.

  Now my Apps from Microsoft (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) all hang them at startup.

  Had this problem once before when El Capitan has everything first came out and took forever for Apple and Microsoft for the patch.

  How can I get out 10.11.2?  What I have to reformat the hard drive, or I can do via Time Machine?

  Help!

  I have no problem with Office 2011 or 2016. MS dumped a bunch of patches in the last month. Are all yours updates?

  If you have a Time Machine backup, you can just restore from this backup of recovery:

• Does not start my HP DC7100, red flashing 5 times?

  My HP DC7100-won't start and when I turn it on it flashes the red light 5 times, I searched and apparently, this meant that it was a mistake of memory, now, I thought it was kind of weird because the RAM worked fine before this incident. Although this was immediately after I did something, the case was not properly and I pushed in place and then the screen is blurry and it turns off automatically. Then I tried to start it and now it flashes 5 times and I have not yet installed all additional Rams, are the RAM that came with it. Help, please!

  Anyone?

  Yes, I'm afraid so.

• My mac does not start, stuck on the loading bar and I can't reinstall OS as it says disk is locked!

  Hello

  my iMac running mountain lion refusing to start, it sticks on the apple logo and progress bar, and the spinning wheel. My files are backed up and sure if this isn't a problem I tried disk utility to reinstall the OS but when I pass the single player is HD recovery and it is blocked! What should I do?

  Installer Lion through Mavericks scratching

  Make sure that you back up your files.

  1. Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the Apple logo appears. Wait for the Utility Menu to appear.
  2. Select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.
  3. After disk utility charges select the volume (this is the entry indented, usually Macintosh HD) in the list to one side. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of disk utility.
  4. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled). Click on the apply button
  5. When the process is complete, quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
  6. Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  This will install the version of Mac OS X, you had installed.

  HD Recovery must be locked but always bootable. If it's not bootable then the problem is with the drive, but you have not provided sufficient information such as the exact iMac model you have and what you have tried to do, and how you did it. You will need to provide the exact wording of error dialogs that you received. You can try the following, if the disc is locked because of permissions is set incorrectly.

  Set Permissions to a locked drive

  Enter the following commands at the command prompt. Press RETURN after each.

  chflags 0/Volumes / *.

  chmod a + rx/Volumes / *.

  You will need to boot from the HD Recovery to perform the above, because you can't boot OS X.

  Start at the HD Recovery:

  1. reboot the computer.

  2. immediately after the ring, press and hold the

  Keys 'Command' and 'R' together.

  3. release the keys when appears the utilities Menu.

  4. in the Utilities menu in the menu bar select Terminal.

  5. Enter the lines above in the Terminal.

• Windows does not start after recovery

  Hey, satellite 1800 started son to have more and more slow to the point where it took close to an hour to boot in Windows. It got to the stage where it seemed that recovery from the CD was the only road - so we did. Everything had to look successful from the point of view of recovery but the installer of Windows XP displays "Please wait...". "with the normal activity of the disc looking for 20-30 seconds and then hangs - no disk activity, the mouse is not responding. I went through the recovery in "expert" mode and don't see any problems with the recovery process. Issues related to the:
  1 no matter who else seen elsewhere?
  2. what else can I do diagnosis-wise?
  3 which, basically, the recovery process not / (fact he re - format partitions, could it have left a virus?)
  4. I'm better h/w or s/w diags?

  Bitshifter

  Hi Bitshifter,

  topic of your question 3:
  The recovery process replaces the whole HARD drive or even a partition with an image created by Toshiba. This image contains an operating system, drivers, and a few basic programs. All other data (including viruses) in this partition will be deleted.

  question 4:
  I don't know the cause of your problem, but I think it's a hardware problem, because after recovery, there may be incorrect or missing software.

  Sorry I can't give you more information.
  Good luck!
