Error type 1010

My 400 Mhz slot-loading iMac has OS 9.2.1 and OS 10.3.9 installed. It is currently in OS 9. When I try to boot, I receive the message "Code Fragment could not be prepared. 'PrefRestoreInit'Error type 1010. To temporarily turn off extensions etc." However, when my iMac is in OS 9.2, it will only boot from the hard disk, and ignores when I hold down the shift key or the C key with a startup CD in the drive. When I down the Option key, icons for the hard drive and the CD appear on the screen, but it only accepts starting up from the hard disk. I tried the four key - command - option - p -r technique, but it did not help.
Any other suggestions?

This alert box may appear if the FileSharingLib extension is not in the Extensions folder. This issue is resolved by updating to Mac OS 9.2.2. See Apple Software Downloads http://www.apple.com/swupdates/

If you cannot update immediately, follow these steps:

1. As Classic or Mac OS 9 starts up, press and hold the Shift key to disable extensions.

2. Locate the FileSharingLib extension. If it is not in the "Extensions (Disabled)" folder of the System Folder, then try locating it with the Mac OS X version of Sherlock (if applicable). Use Mac OS X Finder in Mac OSX 10.2 and higher.
Alternative solution: If you cannot locate this extension, an alternative solution is to find the file "PrefRestoreInit", which should be in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder.

3. Drag FileSharingLib into the Extensions folder, which is in the Mac OS 9 System Folder.
Alternative solution: If you could not find FileSharingLib in the last step, then remove PrefRestoreInit from the Extensions folder.

4. Restart the computer or Classic, allowing extensions to load normally.

When you use the option key (Startup Manager) at boot up, do you see a password entry field below the startup drive icons?

This would indicate that "Open Firmware Password" has been installed at some point. OFP disables most startup with "key held" functions.

No, there is no password entry field, just the icons for the 9.2 drive, the OS X startup CD and a Hardware Test icon. When I try to use the OS 9.2 (or 9.1) startup CD , only the icon for the 9.2 drive appears.
I think the lack of responsiveness to the shift key or C key only occurs with OS 9.2. I don´t recall having that problem with OS 9.1, but I am not sure. It has been a while.
Thank you for your atempts to help in any case.

Error Type 1010 = The Code Fragment Manager could not access the shared library successfully.

Since this type error has many troubleshooting solutions, I am going to list them all. Hopefully, one of them will work for you. Good Luck!

========================
What to do
Try to identify all of the pieces (files) needed by the "thing" you are using when the error occurs. Replace any of them that are missing or damaged. Also, make sure that you have enough memory available to accommodate the "thing" you are using ALONG WITH the additional memory that the shared library needs.

If you give most of your free memory (RAM) to the "thing," you may not have enough left over for the system to use as it starts up the shared library.

Feedback
"I'm getting desperate trying to get my new scanner to work. I know it was a stretch to think I could buy a new scanner and run it on my Performa 6200CD/ OS 8.0/ 40M RAM, but it's an early Christmas gift and I'm not quite ready to get a new Mac yet. I can get the computer to recognize the scanner but when I go to preview it locks up on calibrating. I think it's a SCSI problem. Can I get any updates or drivers to help my old Mac SCSI talk better with a SCSI-2 scanner?

Try this:
1. Are you sure you don't have two SCSI devices set to the same address. SCSI Probe or Mt. Everything, available in our Library, will show SCSI addresses.
2. Set the scanner to SCSI address 6, making sure no other device has that address.
3. Try a different SCSI cable or cables.
4. If you have other SCSI devices connected, remove them from the chain.
5. Make sure your SCSI chain is properly terminated. Only the last (or only) device should be terminated. If a device in the chain has internal termination that cannot be turned off, connect it as the last device in the chain."

-------

"I just connected the same scanner to my Performa 6300CD. Whenever I try to initiate a scan, the program that initiated it crashes with error 1010. I don't have duplicate SCSI addresses, and only the last device of two in the chain is terminated. The cable I got was supposedly rated for high speed use. The computer identifies the scanner on the SCSI bus OK, but only fails when I try to use it."

"Check www.umax.com for a fix. There is a SCSI timing problem on some of the PowerPC Performas that prevents some scanners from operating properly. Umax has an extension that should fix the problem on their web site."

"I checked the UMAX website, and downloaded the update. The documentation said it was for 6360 and 64xx models only, and it refused to patch my computer when I ran it. By the way, my motherboard got the upgrade that many of the 6300's needed. The UMAX service guy says that the error message 1010 is a Colorsync error, and has had me trying updates on the colorsync software, but still no joy. It's pretty clear from the timing of the failures that it's when the UMAX Vistascan driver tries to run the scanner that the crash occurs."

-------

"So here's a strange one: I install a USB card (painlessly) in one of my free PCI slots. Load the Apple drivers and upon restart, my computer recognizes I have a USB card.

I then proceed to install an ACER USB 320U scanner and the respective drivers and plug-ins. After another restart, I open Photoshop 5.5 and after selecting TWAIN plug-in, Photoshop quits immediately saying error 1010 has occurred. I've never heard of this one and can't find any documentation to explain this. Does anyone know what this error is and how to potentially troubleshoot it?

I've tried Conflict Catcher and it doesn't seem to be an extension conflict.

According to MacsBug it's a bad shared library error. I'm assuming that one of the shared libs for either photoshop or the scanner software is either corrupted or needs to be updated."

"I got the 1010 error after trying to set my printer in the Chooser. I just did a clean install of 7.6 on my PowerBook 5300c, on top of which were Speed Doubler 2.0.1, STF 1.1.4, and HP printer driver 9.1.3. Unfortunately, mine did not clear up after restart. Sigh.

Get rid of STF 1.1.4. Update to a later version as a sort of aggravation insurance. That said, I too had the 1010 System error as described. I'm told it is a signal that one of your shared libraries in the System has bumped into a lack of Finder memory. AppleScript was my ultimate nemesis. I had added a Control Strip module which was the underlying cause of the crash. Do the standard conflict test - you'll find a new addition causing the problem."

"I have too identical 7100/80's with 7.5.3 (both clean installs) to work with: one is mine and one is my parents. My Zip drive works fine with my machine but gives strange errors when it is hooked up to my parents.

MY 7100/80:
Zip driver 4.2, internal HD (700 MB Quantum) is formatted with HDT 1.8s. I upgraded to 7.5.3 without a hitch. My Zip drive worked as flawlessly as before.

MY PARENTS 7100/80:
Zip driver 4.2, internal HD (540 MB Quantum) is formatted with the Apple drivers. I updated the driver using the disk utility that came with 7.5.3 before installing 7.5.3.

I installed the Iomega Zip 4.2 driver. When I tried to run programs from the Zip they wouldn't boot up. When I tried to unstuff files from the Zip I would get errors (either -36 (I/O error) or a 1010 error). Now, the strange part: I could copy a StuffIt! archive to the internal HD without a hitch, no errors. Then when I would try to unstuff it from the internal HD to the internal HD (the Zip cartridge was ejected) I would get "bad media" errors. I checked out both Zip and HD with Norton 3.2.1 and got no errors. The above errors happened with several different Zip cartridges.

I re-updated the Apple driver on the internal HD and rebuilt the desktop on the internal HD and Zip. I took the Iomega 4.2 driver out of the extensions folder. I restarted and zapped PRAM. Upon restarting I inserted the Zip cartridge right away so it would auto mount (since the Zip driver was disabled). Now the Zip worked perfectly once again. However, upon returning to the computer several hours later I was getting the same errors when trying to read from the Zip.

I restarted normally, inserting the Zip right away so it would mount. The Zip worked fine again and is working as I type this.

BOTTOM LINE:
I think that the new Apple driver is causing the conflicts with the Zip drive. The only difference between these two 7100's is the HD drivers and on the FWB HDT 1.8s machine the Zip works perfectly and on the Apple (version ??? that came with the 7.5.3 update) formatted machine the Zip won't work.

It also irks me that with the new 'Drive Setup 1.0.4' from Apple you can't even find out what version of the driver that HD currently has."

"I recently installed OS9 on my B&W G3. When I try to use the system software update control panel (1.1), there is the beginning of a dialogue (bar) for a second or so, then an abrupt shut off and back to the finder with the message that an error of type 1010 occurred.

According to notes I have seen, this error refers to some kind of library resource that is corrupted?"

"Try setting your Extension Manager control panel to Mac OS 9 All and restart.

Remove these files from the Preferences folder:
- Software Update Logs
- Software Updates Pref
- Updatable Items

Run Disk First Aid and rebuild the Desktop. You might also try disabling any proxy servers in the Internet control panel.

If none of these suggestions helps, you may need to perform a clean install of your system software."

Sep 20, 2005 9:40 AM in response to Baby-Boomer-USofA

"It seems to either be a missing extension and or control panel or a conflict. I install a full version of Mac OS9 on a separate partition and "software update" works, so it's not hardware related.

The Software Update Scheduler extension wasn't in my extensions folder. When moved back, the Update Now function of the Software Updater works again."

"I was seeing the same symptoms, where Software Update would just beep. I too had moved the Software Update Scheduler extension out of the Extensions folder. At the time it seemed like a good idea, cut down on unneeded extensions and so on. After moving the extension back Software Update now works."

"When I launch Photoshop 6.0 it crashes with a 1010 error. I recently saw on MacFixit that others have had this problem and the culprit was not having the ColorSync extension enabled. Well, mine is enabled and I still get the error."

"We believe we have tracked this down to an incompletely uninstalled Umax scanner driver. Umax scanner drivers install a Photoshop plug-in, a TWAIN driver and a shared library. If the shared library is removed or disabled (it is no longer present in the Extensions folder) but the TWAIN and/or Photoshop plug-in are present, when Photoshop 6.0 attempts to put the name of the scanner device in the File> Import menu at application startup time, the TWAIN driver crashes when it cannot find the shared library.

Previous versions of Photoshop only attempted to obtain the name of the scanner device at Import time, but 6.0 makes scanner aquisition easier by putting the device names in the Import menu at application launch time. That is why this Umax bug did not occur with previous versions of Photoshop.

The solution is to reinstall the Umax driver if you are using a Umax scanner, or remove the Photoshop plug-in and TWAIN driver if you are no longer using the device."

"I do not have a UMAX scanner. I'm using a RELISYS 4816. Is it still possible that PS 6.0 has installed a scanner plug-in or TWAIN driver that needs to be removed?"

"Photoshop does not install any scanner drivers at all. It does install a Photoshop plug-in that will attempt to use any TWAIN drivers installed on your machine to populate the File> Import menu at Photoshop startup time. If those TWAIN drivers are incorrectly or incompletely installed or uninstalled you may run into this "error 1010" problem. If you remove the Photoshop plugin called Plug-in : Import/Export : TWAIN does the error still occur at Photoshop startup? If it doesn't, put the TWAIN Photoshop plug-in back. If you then uninstall your Relisys driver do you still get the error at startup? Is the Relisys driver a TWAIN driver, Photoshop plug-in or some other type or driver?"

"Well I'll be hum-dinged! It was the PS Twain Plug-in. If I put it in the trash, it starts right up. No 1010 error!"

------

"I have a Microtek ScanMaker 3 (SCSI). Adobe Tech Support says that the 1010 error has become a known bug and in 90% of the cases it is an issue with the scanner software extensions or the TWAIN plugin for that scanner. He had me remove the ScanMaker TWAIN plugin from the PS Import/Export folder and disable the ScanMaker software extensions and reboot. I did and bingo... I could finally launch PS 6.0."

"If I removed the Twain plug in from Photoshop's Import/Export folder in the Plug-Ins folder, Photoshop would start up normally. I searched for a corresponding Twain file in the Preferences folder and found it in the Twain folder installed by Umax MagicScan. By removing the folder and reinstalling my Umax MagicScan software, I was able to get Photoshop to launch without having to remove anything."

"I downgraded from version 3.5.3 to version 3.5.1 of the Umax scanner software, the problem went away."

"I zapped the PRAM. Then rebuilding the desktop eliminated the Photoshop/MagicScan conflict. This will NOT be a general solution, I suspect."

"When you start Adobe Photoshop 6.0, or choose

Sep 20, 2005 9:45 AM in response to Baby-Boomer-USofA

"When you start Adobe Photoshop 6.0, or choose a command from the File > Import submenu in Photoshop 5.x, the system returns the error: The Application 'Adobe Photoshop [version]' has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type 1,010 occurred."

"To solve this problem do one of the following:
1) Turn on the E3ITF extension in the Extensions Manager control panel, and restart the computer:
1. From the Apple menu, choose Control Panels >
2. In the Extensions section, select the E3ITF extension. (If the E3ITF extension is not listed, reinstall the MagicScan 4.x software, and then return to step 1.)
3. Click Restart.

2) If you do not use a UMAX scanner, disable the MagicScan 4.x software, and restart the computer:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Drag the following files to the desktop:
- The MagicScan 4.x TWAIN file in the System Folder: Preferences folder.
- The MagicScan 4.x Import plug-in in the Adobe Photoshop [version]: Plug-Ins: Import/Export folder.
3. Restart the computer.

MagicScan 4.x software enables you to scan from a UMAX scanner into Photoshop 5.x or later. You can scan into Photoshop using either a UMAX TWAIN scanning module or a UMAX plug-in compatible with Photoshop . Both scanning methods require that the E3ITF extension be turned on. If the E3ITF extension is turned off, the system returns an error when Photoshop attempts to access the MagicScan software. Disabling the MagicScan software prevents Photoshop from attempting to access it.

When starting, Photoshop 6.0 accesses the MagicScan software as Photoshop builds a list of all installed scanning devices. Photoshop 5.x accesses the MagicScan software when you choose Twain Select, Twain Acquire, or UMAX MagicScan 4.x from the File > Import submenu."

"I just loaded 9.2 on my iBook (400 mhz Graphite), now when CLASSIC loads, I get:
ERROR 1010, Pref Restore Init

I get this error whether I try booting into 9.2 or trying 2 open a Classic app in X. OS X seems to work fine on its own."

"I disabled that init and all works fine. Don't know if disabling can cause other problems though.. I have no idea what this init is for."
