Stop sign gray to start on Macbook

Hello

I have an old early 2008 Macbook (13-inch, 2.1 GHz Intel Core Duo processor) which had a defective hard drive, a couple of years. I finally had the time to try to correct what I can use it again as a second laptop.

I bought a new SATA III 7200 RPM hard drive and replaced the old hard drive with it. Then I tried to turn on the computer with a USB superdrive plugged with OSX Snow Leopard top. I tried the safe mode, recovery mode, boot to a CD, Netboot... no matter what I tried I got back to the gray prohibitive stop sign.

I tried the PRAM reset, reset SMC and another SATA (external) to start the hard drive cable. None of them seemed to work. I have read through many different answers on this problem but now it seems back to the same solutions that have not worked for me so far, so I thought I'd try to post a question myself. Any help would be appreciated.

Apple Superdrive USB? Who does not work on a Mac that has built in player works or not. Ironic huh? You must partition and format the new drive for use with a Mac and there are several ways to do it, but you either need another Mac or a compatible third-party external disk since I assume that your player internal doesn't?

  • How can I stop launcing messenger on start up?

    Hi I have XP Pro on my HP Pavilion computer, because register on messenger program starts whenever I boot, it slows down my computer & takes forever to start. Can I stop launcing Messenger to start up & use it only when necessary. Hope someone can help, thank you. Jakabak.

    Hi Jakabak,

    Perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    (a) click Start, run.

    (b) type msconfigand click OK.

    (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

    (e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

  • How can I stop Windows Messenger from starting automatically

    I have never used Windows Messenger.  I recently bought / implement a system refurbished with XP Home - after about a month of use, the Herald began popping up automatically whenever I start the machine, or when I open Outlook Express (and immediately requires a screen name access code (whenever it starts, even if I gave him once to satisfy) (, so I have two things to cancel).

    As I say, he began to do this by himself without conscious action on my part, a few weeks after the introduction of the machine. I had an older XP machine for 6 years and never seen it happen.

    Two questions: 1) is this a normal behavior to require a name to screen EACH time it starts? I would have thought that it would save one associated with the connection.

    (2) how can I do to stop the automatic aperture? I don't necessarily want to kill-I can actually try to use it someday. I just that it quietly hide in the system tray, as it has always done before.

    To stop the Messenger to start with Windows:

    (1) right-click on the Windows Messenger icon in the system tray.
    2) click Open.
    (3) in Windows Messenger, click on tools, then click Options.
    4) click the Preferences tab.
    (5) in the preferences, uncheck the "run Windows Messenger when Windows starts" and "Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background", and then click Ok.

    To prevent Outlook Express from loading Messenger

    (1) open Outlook Express
    2) click Tools, Options
    3) click on general tab
    (4) uncheck the box to automatically log on to Windows Messenger
    5) click OK Microsoft Security MVP, 2004-2009

  • How do you want to re - start CF Admin? / Service stopped, re - will not start

    CF Admin suddenly stopped and not re - start.  Using CF9 on Win7 / x 64 for months with no problems.  Trying to install an of Teradata JDBC driver.  After you have copied the .jar file in the C:\ColdFusion9\lib folder, I went into Services and tried to STOP and RESTART the Cold Fusion application server.  While Windows has tried to stop the service, got an error that it was impossible to stop the service, and he locked himself.  Impossible to stop or start the service.

    After re-boot PC, Services showed all CF services began normally, but can't run CF Admin and cannot access sources of data or everything. CFM programs.  It seems to be stuck.  I tried to stop and to restart all services of ColdFusion, which stopped and handed over to market very well, but still get error when you try to run CF Admin.  Seems that something is charged is stuck.  Appreciate any advice on how to get the service restarted.  Cannot run any. CFM as all DSN programs are not available.  Here is the error message when you try to access the CF Admin:

    Error occurred while processing request

    The service of the data source is not available.

    This exception is usually caused by the failure to start service. Check the configuration of your server.

    The error occurred in Application.cfm: line 88

    Called from Application.cfm: line 76

    Called from Application.cfm: line 4

    Called from Application.cfm: line 1

    -1: cannot display the location of the error in a CFML template.

    Thank you

    Gary

    Thank you for taking the time to answer.  In fact, thanks to some Google-ing, was able to find and correct the problem.  The problem started when I tried to install and check one of Teradata JDBC driver.  When I tried to stop and restart the service, he shuts down.  Then would start again.

    I discovered the SERVER. JOURNAL file should tell you exactly what is wrong, and he did.  He showed an invalid character in 4 places in the file of neo - datasource.xml (in the C:\ColdFusion9\lib folder).  So my options were to remove invalid characters, or replace the file neo - datasource.xml with the last good backup of work.

    When this file is corrupted, the. BAK version is used, and then he'll corrupt when you attempt to stop - resume service, and you end up with no backup (.) BAK file). Fortunately, I had an another working version of the file on another computer (even configured like this).  So I copied on my computer and I replaced the bad, then restarted (could have stopped and restarted the service, but has decided to re-start, that does the same thing).

    The CF Admin started normally.  I was then able to install correctly the of Teradata JDBC driver.  The cause of the problem was that I didn't have to also register the tdgssconfig.jar file in the section of the FMV of CF Admin (even if the instructions that I told the class driver 4 did not require this file, and that the CF he would not know).  But apparently it is necessary.

    In any case, after all this, the drivers JDBC Teradata successfully verified.  My test of CF server is now more the connection with the data warehouse of company in Houston, more than 1,000 miles away, using the newly installed JDBC drivers.  Queries and and. CFM files work normally.  Thank God.

    Anyway, thanks again for the reply.  Very much appreciated.  If someone has a problem to CF Admin to start, after tinkering with the installation of new DSNs, remember to ALWAYS MAKE a BACKUP of your file of neo - datasource.xml, before starting.  Better safe than sorry.  Kind regards
