After Leopard Install PPC MAc restarts then shuts down

SO, I installed Leopard on a PPC mac 1.2 gig hz mac with firwire and DVD and 1.5 GHZ of memory. The install went okay (actually upgrade from last OSX), I got the Installed Okay message. The system shut down and restarted and then shut down again. That was it. What did I do wrong or what should I do. This is a family pack, I installed Leopard okay on my Macbook 1.8 ghz laptop just fine. Why will it not install on the Power PC mac? It is G4 AGP graphics. Is that the problem?

You do not need another drive to do Migration, You need another Mac to do a migration. I see that you have a MacBook 1.8 ghz laptop, use that Mac to migrate the account, you can delete it off of the MacBook after you send it back to the AGP. besides this will save all of the setting and account information for your daughters Mac. Currently I have a 60GB HD on my AGP and it is able to operate Leopard and Home files just fine, Now to handle the the very large files and storage of archive data I have an external 160 Lacie HD Firewire. BTY. The AGP can only handle a Max of 128 GB HD (master). Anything larger is not used, even if the HD is partitioned, Slaves and external HD are OK for larger storage. Additionally after you have done all of your backups and save files and apps. You might want to try an "install and archive" first. Some AGP users have had success with it. I did not and had to do a complete reformatting. FYI. My current 60GB HD used to be my slave drive. I had the original drive HD as the Master and both were internal. the AGP provides the plugs and bracket inside the AGP for two drives. But the original drive started to go bad and I have to image/clone the drive and moved the Master to the 60GB HD and moved the data that was on the 60 to the new external 160.
Additional: Make sure that you set the jumpers to either master or slave on the internal HD, and you can only have one master HD. Check HD information on how to set jumper for each brand.

    Hi bria90,
    That is not good thing to have. Lets see if we can get it to boot up normally. Start with checking out the article below and go over each troubleshooting option that is available to get it back up and running. It will have you check things Safe Boot and resetting the NVRAM.

  • AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN NO SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS PLEASE HELP

    AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN APPEARS WHEN POWER BUTTON PRESSED NO START UP SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30  SECONDS AND REPEATS ITS SELF PLEASE HELP

    As for now, only thing that helped was an archive and install with preserve user settings. Seems after the reinstall of 10.4. everything that was weird has become normal again. I hope very much this state stays on for a while - or ever!
    A comment to everybody: with problems that are common you get a lot of help from friendly users in here, but if like in my situation things get a bit more uncommon than the usual querks and troubles your bound to go through a whole workflow of tests and algorithms - i did learn some new things but eventually I had to go for the ultimate - the reinstall (of course, erase and install would have been more work.) and it's frustrating not to find out how it came to this problem. I wish I could nail it down to something I did mistakenly - i guess I'll find out next time.
    THANKS THOUGH to those who replied.

  • After using PSCS5, my Mac will not shut down normally.

    Whenever I open and use PS, then close it down, my Mac will not restart or shut down; it gets as far as that ‘wheel of death’ which keeps on turning, turning and turning, I presume forever.  Force quitting PS permits closing down normally.  I have uninstalled PS, reinstalled it to no avail.  Thinking that my harddrive might be the problem, I ran it through TechTool Pro and that did not help.  So I must have some file responsible for it.  No other programs, Adobe or otherwise, cause this.  Any ideas?
    Mac OS 10.6.8      PS  v.12.1

    Have you reset your preferences?  A reinstall will not affect this file.
    Start PS and immediately hold down Cmd + Option + Shift keys.  You should get a reset window.

  • After using iTunes my Mac doesn't shut down!

    My MacBookPro doesn't shut down after using iTunes. I have try anything and the apple support can't also help me.
    I can only stop my Mac with the power button. If I don't use iTunes I have no problems to shut down the Mac.
    Have anybody a similar problem and can help me? Thanks

    It's so curious...
    I found something at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17590111#17590111
    I'm not sure whether this issue caused by Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist.

  • Start updates after hours then shut down

    Is their a way to have updates start at a certain time and when finished shut down the computer.
    Reason: I teach at a college and we would like the Lab computers to due updates after the Lab is closed and then shut down on their own.

    Not sure if this works but you could set a schedule to start and shutdown in Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule. Then in the Preferences, choose Software Updates and choose to check daily. Not sure if it will check for them in the allotted time or not but it's worth a shot. Also, if you need to validate the updates with an admin password, then it may not work. Being that you're at a college, I would assume you'd need the admin password. In that case, you'd probably need to either use Automator (included in the OS) or create an AppleScript (http://www.apple.com/applescript/)to do this for you.

  • My mac froze and shut down. Is there a way to retrieve unsaved files?, My mac froze and shut down. Is there a way to retrieve unsaved files?

    My mac froze then shut down. Is there a way to retrieve my unsaved files?

    It depends what you are using, you haven't told us, and whether you ever saved in the first place which you also haven't told us.
    In OSX Lion (OSX 10.7) Pages will have auto-saved after the initial save and reopening the file will take you back to the last save.
    Prior to Lion you would only have the last saved version. Utilities like ForEverSave would have auto-saved for you or you would need to manually save with command s.
    If your whole Mac froze and it wasn't a battery issue in a laptop, then I would try and determine the reason as this should not be happening.

  • HP Pavilion a6110n Startup Problems, Fan Runs Full Tilt and then Shuts Down

    We are currently running into an issue where our computer, when we try to power it on, turns on briefly with the fan running at full tilt.  After a few seconds, the computer then shuts down and everything turns off.  When the monitor is connected, we never do see anything show up there.  We opened up the case and cleaned out the fan and the cooling unit completely, and then we even completely removed and then reconnected the unit.  Still, the computer continues to do the same thing.  Does this sound like a bad sensor?  Like the computer thinks it is overheating and just shuts itself down?
    Thanks for any help.  We tried some of the advice we found on here, like stated above, and seem to have run out of options.

    Hi Big_Mike_180,
    It is the same for the desktop or notebook. The one blink means that you are having an issue with the CPU, unfortunately. At this point if you are in warranty give HP Total Care a call at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or visit the link below if you are outside North America.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
    Or take it to a local tech to check the CPU.
    Thank you,

  • HT3964 I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation.  Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation. 
    Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again
    whenever I turn it on it loads that far and then closes.
    HELP!

    Restore your bootable backup/clone  or Time Machine backup of Snow Leopard, launch Disk Utility from the install disc, repair the boot volume, and reinstall Lion.

    A Safe Mode boot might help ..
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    See if the problem persists.

  • Hi my desktop starts and then shuts down after the apple logo and an oblong box appear.thanks

    hi my mac

    thanks

    Sounds like something is badly wrong with your system.  First step would be to start up from your Mac OS X install disk, by inserting the disk and holding down 'c' at startup.  Select your language, then choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  In Disk Utility, choose your hard drive and click the Repair Disk button.
    If problems are repaired, try restarting and see if the problems are gone.
    If problems couldn't be repaired, you can try DiskWarrior, which can sometimes repair problems that Disk Utility cannot.  However, if nothing works, you probably are going to have to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch.  Hopefully you have backups!
    If there were no errors, or they were repaired successfully but that didn't fix the problem, then you should try booting into safe mode by holding down the shift key at startup.  If that works, you may have some bad third-party software.  What that might be is hard to say, though.
    If nothing works, try rebooting from the Mac OS X install disk again and install Snow Leopard right on top of your current system.  That shouldn't disturb your apps or data, but of course, if you don't have backups, you're in trouble if something goes wrong.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

    As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17.  They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
    Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
    Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Backup your data first since you still have access to it as my FAQ* explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Once that is down, force restart it by removing both the battery and power cord and repair the disk with the original installer disk that came with the MacBook:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    If that can't repair the Mac, you may need Alsoft Disk Warrior.

  • My Mac won't shut down after upgrading to Panther

    I recently upgraded to Panther 10.3 from Jaguar 10.2.9. After Panther had installed successfully, I used software update and I'm now running Panther 10.3.9. However, since then my Mac won't shut down. It doesn't hang or freeze - it just does nothing at all.
    I've made sure no applications are running or have frozen. I've tried booting up from the OS X disk and running Disk Repair, and I've also tried using the 'fsck' tool. (I entered '/sbin/fsck -f' in single-user mode). Nothing has worked.
    Now each time I want to shut down, I have to force shut down. Can anyone help?
    800 MHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1.5 GB SDRAM

    Hard shutdowns can cause disk damage. You are better off leaving your Mac on until the problem is sorted.
    Have you disconnected all peripheral devices (unmount firewire drives before disconnecting) except Apple keyboard and mouse and tried shutdown? Often peripherals can kick back a signal to the cpu preventing shutdown.
