Gray progress bar showing at start-up - 0 views

  •  
    "Persistent showing of this progress bar may mean either that there are problems with the system's start-up arguments, or that your system contains errors that it is trying to recover from at start-up. There are a few things you can try in order to clear this problem, but before attempting to do so be sure your system is fully backed up. If this is happening because of an unrecoverable filesystem error, then you will need to format your drive. Try clearing PRAM PRAM stores start-up arguments that are passed to the kernel at boot. Generally these variables are blank, but if there is an error in the PRAM settings then resetting it may help. To reset the PRAM, reboot the system and immediately press the Option-Command-P-R keys after hearing the boot chimes. Hold them and let the system reset a couple of times, and then release them and allow the system to boot normally. You can also perform a similar operation by manually setting the boot arguments to be blank. To do this, run the following command in the Terminal: sudo nvram boot-args="" Check keyboards One possibility (albeit remote) is that your keyboard could be sending the system the command to boot to Safe Mode. Try starting your system up with the keyboard unplugged to see if it boots normally, and if so then consider replacing your keyboard. Verify or repair the disk Boot to an alternative boot volume and use Disk Utility or, more preferably, a dedicated filesystem repair tool like DiskWarrior to run disk verification and repair routines on the boot drive. Format the drive If none of the previous options clear the problem, then formatting the drive should be a final step to take to clear the problem. Be sure you have a full and restorable backup of your boot drive, and then both repartition and format the drive using the OS X installation disc. Boot to the disc, choose your language, and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Then select the drive device (it will be the item above the "Macintosh HD" name-

MacBook Pro unable to connect to internet after waking from sleep » Jamie Starke - 0 views

  • Here’s what worked for me: Open Finder. From the Menu at the top, choose ‘Go’ -> ‘Computer’. Open your hard drive (probably called ‘Macintosh HD’). Open the ‘Library’ folder. Open the ‘Preferences’ folder. Locate the ‘SystemConfiguration’ folder (likely at the bottom). Drag this folder to your desktop (as far as I can tell, this is to back it up incase something goes wrong) Once the copy is complete, drag the original to the trash. In Finder, open Applications (If you don’t have it on the sideback, use ‘Go’ -> ‘Applications’). Open the ‘Utilities’ folder. Open ‘Keychain Access’. Select ‘login’ from the list of Keychains. In the list to the right, locate an object with the name of your wireless network. Select it and press ‘delete’ on your keyboard. Select ‘System’ from the list of Keychains. Repeat steps 13 and 14 above. Restart your MacBook. Once your computer has restarted, connect to your wireless network.

Printing Overview - Chrome Devices for Business Help - 0 views

  • Setting up Google Cloud Print To connect your cloud-ready printer or to set up your classic printer, see Connect your printer to Google Cloud Print. Because printers you set up with Google Cloud Print are associated with a single Google Apps account or Google Account, we recommend you set up your organization's printers with your Google Apps administrator account. To share the printer with people in your organization, see Share your printer. To set up Google Cloud Print with your existing print server, see Set Up Your Print Server with Google Cloud Print. Benefits of using Google Cloud Print for network printing You can print to any printer in your network, without having to worry about printer drivers and traditional problems with running an enterprise printer network. The Google Cloud Print Connector integrates with your organization's existing print servers (Windows, Mac, and Linux) and automatically registers the printers hosted by that print server with the Google Cloud, and links them with a Google Apps account or Google Account. The printers can then be shared to people and groups within the organization using the same sharing infrastructure as Google Docs.

Prevent the Terminal host name from changing | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews - 0 views

  • The hostname can be changed dynamically by routers and other network devices through DHCP requests, which can have the hostname keep changing every time your IP address and other DHCP information is renewed. If this is the case, you may be able to set the router to never provide hostname information, or you can set the computer to never accept a hostname change. To do this, you will need to add a line to the computer's hostconfig file using the following procedure: Open the Terminal Enter the following command: sudo pico /etc/hostconfig Authenticate, scroll to the bottom of the file, and add the following line: HOSTNAME=Tophers-Desktop (Change "Tophers-Desktop" to your desired hostname--no spaces) Save the file and quit by pressing control-X, confirming the save with the "Y" key followed by "enter".

Mac OS X v10.6: Active Directory binding lost on network transition (.local domain) - 0 views

  • Symptoms If network access is interrupted, a Mac OS X v10.6 client may not be able to reconnect to an Active Directory domain whose name ends in ".local".
  • Resolution Lengthen the default timeout for .local name lookups by editing the following file: /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist The key/value pair is: <key>mdns_timeout</key> <integer>2</integer> The integer value is in seconds; changing it to at least 5 should allow the Mac OS X client to reconnect to the Active Directory domain after a network interruption. In some configurations, a larger timeout value may be required. You can change this value by using the sudo command and a text editor to edit the preference file directly. Or you can use the Terminal command below, making sure to enter it all on a single line: sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set :mdns_timeout 5' /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/IPMonitor.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
