Some applications won't work in Safe Mode

Hello world

I had a few problems with some applications for these past few weeks, they will start only when I'm in Mode safe. It's always the same applications, which include Spotify, Atom.io and website via Safari maps.google.com. I suppose that there is something that share these apps that don't deprive them start when I start my MacBook in normal mode.

Things I've tried:

-Reinstalled El Capitan, to the latest version

-HDD completely wiped and reinstalled El Capitan

-Delivered PRAM reset

-SMC awarded zero

None of these actions have worked unfortunately. What could be wrong here? Is there a hardware error?

Kind regards

Niels

1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

☞ Paste into the window to another application.

☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

9. If you see an error message in the Terminal as "Syntax error" or "Event not found", enter

exec bash

and press return. Then paste the script again.

10. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

11. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

    Test started

        Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec

    The test results are on the Clipboard.

    Please close this window.

The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

12. when the test is finished, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

13. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

Mac will not load some web pages but works in safe mode

Hello

I am trying to solve the following problem...

MacBook Pro with 10.11.3 will not load some web pages (booking.com people.com are just a few). Browser will not make a difference.

Looked around the discussions and tried a few remedies but without success. for example, change the dns data, site reset or 8.8.8.8.8 create a new user and I have tried several different networks.

All the site will load in safe mode.

Thank you guys!

If they load in Safe Mode, then it is a third-party plug-in or software blocking sites while not in Safe Mode.

Do you have the third-party antivirus or firewall? Do you have any unknown third party plugins or extensions?

Open the Finder, click go > go to folder, copy and paste the following and click on Go

~/Library/Internet plug-Ins

This is where your plug-in user. By default, this folder must be completely empty, so anything here has been added either by you or with 3rd party software that has been installed. You can move anything in this folder on the desktop and then try with your sites. If this works, your choice in their folder one by one until it doesn't. Remove the problem and it redownload only if you really need.

My Acer Aspire 4736ZG stop each time I start and will work in safe mode

This problem has been some time now. Whenever I turn on my computer notebook (Acer Aspire 4736zg) close at boot (windows loading screen) and it really means not freeze SHUT DOWN or restarts... He likes to lose power. It only works in safe mode. Installation of Windows 7, 8 CD cannot start (stop as above).
I did everything: fixing driver, scan virus, chkdsk, update BIOS even install new windows... The problem still there. I tried install Joli OS (Linux) to have a chance but does not work (always closed).

All ideal for my problem?

P/S: sorry for my English

At this point no matter what the problem he is going to need repair. If it happens with more of an OS which pretty much eliminates the possibility of a software problem. I would still say that it is probably overheating, or there is a problem with your graphics card. However, you will need to speak with Acer on this one.

Hi Ryan,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

According to the description, you need to know the unlocking of Parental control.

Yes, the Parental control would work in safe mode. But you must know the administrator password to access Parental control.

Click on the link mentioned below as reference.

There is a file or a folder called "c:\Program" which could cause some applications will not work correctly. Rename it to "c:\Program1" would solve this problem

Original title: message 'warning of file name '.

In the last week or so, I get a warning box appears on my desktop (from Windows 8) whenever I start. He said "there is a file or a folder called"c:\Program"that could cause some applications don't work does not correctly." Rename it to "c:\Program1" would solve this problem. You want to rename now? "and there are 2 options:"Rename"or"ignore ". I have "Binged", and there are a few very old discussions about it (like 5 + years ago) and the consensus seems to be that it is a matter of Windows. What should I do to get rid of him?

OK, so here is how I SOLVED this problem.

In my case while studying this on a device of clients, I found that a VOIP program caused this problem and the error message popped up, and rename the folder won't work because the program is running.

Then I found the voip program (in the taskbar in this case) and closed. I then found the file that needed change of name, "c:\program" and renamed to 'c:\program1 '.

Then restarted the computer and... Don't pop up.

I hope this helps.

under the heading of the keyboard device, click on the '+' and then right click and uninstall all THE items in the CATEGORY of the KEYBOARD and click OK on all messages

WiFi MiniPCI card only works in "Safe Mode with network.

AR5001Xplus MiniPCI card only works in "Safe Mode with network" (windowsXP-Home-SP2 and all updates recent).
In 'normal' mode, it freezes my laptop after a few seconds.

Hello

Why you don t give us more information about your problem? We don't know what unit you have? Is the original part of card or you have built at least?

At the moment I can just recommend you to reinstall the unit with recovery media. If the problem persists, try to install the card separately with the right driver. Otherwise, you must change the WiFi card or test it with the other.

Give us more information.

I do not know my windows XP has some missing components that some applications do not work.

"SFC 3498 records" is something that the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft should download so that they can learn how sfc/scannow actually works rather than send people on wild goose prosecutions that will not work.

Looks like you just download the first file in the list of files on my SkyDrive - look down the list for the sfcfiles.dll and download it.

To fix your immediate problem, you need to download:

Sfcfiles.dll

And put it in the designated folders.

If this file is missing, it is probably being quarantined (actually deleted) by your unspecified antivirus/antimalware software.

If this is the case, AV software you are using is distressed and he can just delete it again.

wireless mouse does not work in safe mode. I am informed by Logitech, it is a matter of microsoft HID. What now?

I run XP and IE. You will need to use the mouse in safe mode. normally works in normal mode.

Logitech says it's a matter of Microsoft HID.

It is literally true, but incomplete and very misleading.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310496

To work around this problem, use a keyboard or a mouse, instead of a USB keyboard or mouse.

This behavior is by design.

In the case of USB input devices, so that they work in safe mode, the system must have a BIOS with USB support for input devices and USB legacy mode must be enabled.

NOTE: USB devices are not loaded in safe mode, unless the manufacturer requests and provides BIOS support for the USB device in addition to input devices.

Check your BIOS for the applicable USB settings.

LCD monitor only works in safe mode

I connected a new monitor and will work in safe mode. I tried to change all the settings in safe mode but nothing seems to work when I restart the computer in normal mode. Help, please

I'd like to see if you can install any software that came with your monitor.

There is another option to enter in Windows Vista, choose activation lower-resolution (640 X 480)... .or the VGA mode as it used to be called.

Try to install the drivers in safe mode if it does not work.

If these don't work, let me know the exact model you new monitor so I can see if I can find any known issues.
