G4 450 and protools, somehow ran out of memory to startup. Error code 10. Tried turning off extensions to boot but now just locks up as I tried a HD verify/repair and then moved the folder to the desktop screen. cant get it off now.froze.

Ok, I have a Mac g4, os9. ..450 Processor. I Think I upgraded ram, can't remember. Maybe a 512 card. Added an 80 gig internal HD for music storage. Computer was solely used for protools LE 5. I knew I was kinda close on my memory for running the program after recording things with plug ins etc. It was beginning to get slow at startup. Anyway it's been a couple years since I used it. I got it set up yesterday and it wouldn't launch and kept giving me error code 10. So I replaced the battery and tried again. the small finder icon in middle of screen would then pop up and alternate with a "?". Then it would change to a pict of a hard drive disk and then a me alternating "?". It would still give me the error code if I clicked on anything. So I then held down the shift key to turn off extensions as it had mentionEd to do a couple times. Still would give me the error code on my home page. If I tried to get into my hd which is on desktop it would give me the message, but somehow it did open one occasion and I went into it and scrolled to disk verify and repair. Did it. Said things were fine. I then saved the results in a file which was then offered along with location. I chose desktop. Probably really bad idea in hind sight.. It did it, but now no matter if I turn extensions off, the home screen pops up but then goes blank. The hard drive icon along with the new folder, and my protools icon immediately dissapear. And it freezes. at one point a message did pop up saying finder could not start up because there is not enough memory available. I'm not a computer guy. Ive tried finding the guy who helped me set this thing up 10 years ago but to no avail. If I can be guided to somehow uncover some of the unneeded memory usage I would then learn how to more efficiently use it. How the heck do I even start. I can't get to a screen which shows what's eating my computers space to even start getting rid of unneeded stuff. Please help if you can. I have so much to loose if I can't get it to work. Btw...I no longer have the os9 disk. I think it was tossed 10 years ago or more. May not even have my original pro tools disks anymore. Uggh.

Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
Not much you can do, but try this anyway...
PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

I renamed the folder with the little house as its icon, and now I'm screwed

Here are the details:
* I am running the latest update to 10.4
* I changed the name of the folder with the little house as its icon. I changed it in the sidebar to the finder window. I changed the folder's name from it's original name to a new name, which is the name of my computer.
* As soon as I did so, I started experiencing problems. I was using Azureus to download something (legally, of course) and I started getting popup warnings stating that the save location could not be located.
* I then tried to open up my address book, which was now empty.
* At this point, I became pretty sure that I messed up the...how you say...references for all my programs. In other words, my address book looks in "x" location for its addresses. My iPhoto looks in "x" location for the pictures and library files, etc.
* I said to myself, "oh crap, look what I did" and attempted to change the folder with the little house as its icon from its current name back to the original. Unfortunately, it would not let me, and informed me that name was already in use.
* I then said, "oh crap" and logged out of the account. I forget what my thinking was in doing this.
* When I got to the log in screen, it gave me 4 options. There are two administrators' accounts; one I cannot access and my usual computer name. I logged into the latter, as usual.
* When logged back in, nothing was as it should be. My desktop picture was gone, my desktop folders were gone. My dock was positioned at the bottom of the screen and was not hiding. Also, the little house went back to the original name. My program to automatically startup the Dashboard did not kick in. I clicked on iTunes and it wanted me to click through all the user' agreement set up options. When I opened up iPhoto I canceled the pop up window that was offered and found that my iPhoto library, which usually has 4000+ pictures, was empty. I opened up "Comic Life," and it asked me to register. I then looked in the finder to see if I could find a document for work. I clicked on the documents folder in the sidebar, and everything showed up. I then tried to do a search, but the files could not be located. I even visually verified the files where there, but neither spotlight or the finder search could locate them. If I clicked on a file, it opens, even though I cannot "search" for it. I've even tried to click on the actual folder and do a specific search, and receive nada.
*I've located all of the documents/library/etc. under "Macintosh HD/users/*current name of little house icon*, but it appears as just a regular folder.
So...there it is. I know I've screwed up my paths, but am unsure how to restore the computer to how it was. If there is no restore function, I am also unsure how to make it so my programs recognize the original library, etc.

I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac. I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts. I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account. Any help?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

Not sure if I'm following you. I have 4 hard drives installed on my Mac Pro. I had a RAID 5 configured and functional for about 5 months. My battery died on the RAID card. I replaced the battery, seated the RAID card back in the slot I removed it from. When I booted to the USB drive to look in the RAID utility, I could see the battery is charged but my volumes are not showing.
The drives don't show in disk Utility. I built the RAID with the RAID Utility and they did show there. I have a early 2008 Mac Pro, Mavricks OS running Mac Server

if you want an intelligent answer, you'll have to provide intelligent information.
WHY couldn't you restore the order backup? Was there an error message? What EXACTLY was the error message?

If I move a mailbox from my imap account to "on my mac" can I safely delete the folder from the mail server and still be able to read the messages?

You certainly can.
Be aware that the emails you move to local storage ("on my Mac") will be the only copies that remain.

my sons ipod shows the apple sign and then occasionaly a white screen appears and then goes back to the apple symbol.. He cant get it to turn on.. He has tried charging it.He also held down the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time to reset it. we need help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

rwethereyet,
Keeping your pictures safe is definitely important! Once you have synced the saved pictures to your phone you can transfer them from the phone to your computer. Are you using the Verizon Cloud Desktop app?

Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

I ran out of memory on my iphone and downloaded i cloud but still dont have any usage available. Why?

I ran out of memory on my iphone so I downloaded icloud and backed everything up on that. I still have no available usage. Do I delete everything off of my phone because its on Icloud? I cant do any updates to my phone because im out of memory and i only have 3 apps downloaded. Why??

Backing up to iCloud doesn't allow you to free up space on your phone. If you delete any of the iCloud data from your phone, it will also be deleted from iCloud and it will be lost. If you need to free up space on your phone, you'll have to delete or sync some data off of it.
If you aren't sure how much space you have available on your phone or what is using the space, go to Settings>General>Usage and wait for the apps list to open.
