I am getting the spinning ball and a slowdown on my g5 with tiger. On top of that I have had three external acomdata harddrives fail in the last 24 hours. They will not even spin up after a single connection to the computer. Two others work fine
I am getting a spinning ball on my G5 with tiger and a slow down and then it seems to return to normal operation. I also have had three acomdata external harddrives fail after sometimes a single startup within the last day. They will not even spinup. Two other externals work just fine.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Any change?

'm sure your'e going to tell me I just need a new phone but maybe there is hope for my iphone 4. It will not charge past 66% (it's not the charger), it turns off when unplugged, and it will not even let me turn my wi fi to the on possition. Help!
Hi there 8472kck!
I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. That information can be found right here:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
and that information comes from this article:

I have an external hard drive that I have been using for years. All of a sudden my mac will not recognize the external as a "save as" device location. But the external does show up on my desktop and I can open it to drag and drop items. What happened and how do I get my mac to rerecognize the device?!?!?
Hi,
Check Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, is it checked there to show external drives? -
My ipad will not even come on after trying to upadate
I tried to update my ipad, and now I cannot get it to stop showing the apple and the spinning in the middle of the ipad. It will not show up on any of my macs. I have updated all the itunes, but cannot even get it to start so I can install my back up. It is spinning in time, tried running the batter down and recharging, I have tried everything, it is totally crashed, does not even come up with the screen that says connect to itunes. Just the apple, sometimes a bar tries to go across, and then the thing spins in the center of the ipad. It is an ipad 1, very disappointed, as it is a pretty expensive door stopper now.
See if this page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097

I cannot get photos to load from PC to iPad via the Upstream folder, help?
I am assuming if I delete from stream they will no longer be accessible on my icloud?
That's right. If you delete from My Photo Stream or the Shared Streams, the photos will be deleted from iCloud.
Download the photos from the Photo Stream to your PC, if you did not already import them when you imported the Camera Roll photos.
Deleting photos from the Camera Roll is tedious. If you have iPhoto on your iPhone, you can select a range of photos from the camera roll and delete multiple photos at once.
The easiest way to delete all photos in the Camera Roll at once would be to connect the iPhone to a USB port and to download all photos. You should be prompted to delete all imported photos from the device. -
I am supposed to be able to extract a frame from PSE 13 but it will not let me do so. Specifically, Select File > Import > Frame From Video is supposed to allow this but when I click Import, there is no Frame from video option.
Here are the instructions from the Adobe website:
You can play a video from within Photoshop Elements and grab frames to edit and save as images.
Select File > Import > Frame From Video.
Browse and select the video.
Click Play.The video starts playing in the Frame From Video dialog box. You can use the playback controls to display the frames your want to grab. If you find the audio distracting, select Mute.
Click Grab Frame.Photoshop Elements places the grabbed frames as images in new files., ready for editing.
Click Done.This is strange because I found the following on the adobe PSE 13 website (but the Select File/Import does not include Frame From Video:
You can play a video from within Photoshop Elements and grab frames to edit and save as images.
Select File > Import > Frame From Video.
Browse and select the video.
Click Play.The video starts playing in the Frame From Video dialog box. You can use the playback controls to display the frames your want to grab. If you find the audio distracting, select Mute.

Uanble to Connect Nano to Computer- 2nd Nano works fine
I have a 1GB NAno that is not recognized by ITunes or My Computer. The computer knows new harware has been connected because I hear the beep. Got a 2nd IPOD (2GB) for Christmas and it works fine. I have reinstalled ITunes 7, tried 2 seperate computers, and the 1GB Nano is not recognized. It is fully charged and plays currently stored songs. I tried to install the original software ona computer and it didn't recognize it. ITunes will not let me restore the IPOD because it is not recognized.
Any Ideas?It would more likely be the 30 pin connector on the iPad, since connecting an iPhone to the same port does not cause the same issue.
To the OP.......I'd make an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar, as it seems you may have an issue with your iPad. -
my 3rd Generation Apple TV will not come just a white flashing light i tried unplugging it for 30 seconds nothing tried the menu button and down arrow that did help as well and suggestion? Thank you I'm not very tech savvy.
Click on the blue link I gave. You would need to hook it to a computer running iTunes using a microUSB lead.
If you have an Apple Store nearby take it there and see if they can sort it out.
It is possible the display resolution is wrong - you could try holding menu and up arrow on remote together for 6 seconds which will make it cycle display resolutions - but only if it is actually working but showing a black screen due to wrong resolution selected. -
My iphone 4 is locked after trying to update to ISO5. At the same time I was updating Itunes.
It takes a long time to update itunes, backup your phone and install iOS6.
I usually do this in 3 steps:
1) Without the phone connected (and not using over the air update) - update itunes version.
2) Connect the iphone and let it do a backup
3) install the new IOS
Be patient..... -
itunes diagnostics only finds that no ipod is connected when it really is. I have tried different cords, unistalled/reinstalled itunes, erased my ipod started over, restarted computer, etc. My ipod is useless now that I cannot sync it wth itunes and there is now no music on it. Its a paper weight now. All of the posts I have read have no solution for this. I would love to go back to itunes 10 because none of this occured until I downloaded that version.
Did you do everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Including
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

ITunes does not recognize my iPhone when I am connected to the internet!
Okay, I am back with an old problem that I had with iTunes 9.0. iTunes will not see my iPhone if I am connected to the internet. If I turn off the WiFi, I am fine. Is there a fix for this? I found the following (see below) on 1 website and did all of them already. I don't have # 3, so I did not have to try that one thing.
Run through this series of potential fixes, which will solve sync issues for most users:
1. Reinstall iTunes. In some cases this issue can be resolved by completely removing then reinstalling iTunes as described in this Apple Knowledge Base article.
2. Remove third-party backup software. If you’ve installed software for an external hard drive or another device, it may include an automatic backup utility that recognizes the iPad as a storage device, interfering with the normal sync process. Try uninstalling any such software then re-syncing your iPad.
3. Remove iToner. It appears that the presence of Ambrosia Software’ iToner software may cause problems with syncing the iPad. Navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins and/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins (the Library folders inside your user folder and at the root level of your startup drive) and look for a file called iTonerSupport.bundle. Remove it, then restart, and check to see if iPad syncing occurs more quickly.
4. Delete iTunes .plist. Delete the following file
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist then restarttry deleting these preference files

Both my iPod and my MacBookPro connect with my home Wi-Fi but my iPad will not even after entering the passcode. I have tried Full shutdown and tried other Wi-Fi's for which I had the correct passcode. My iPad would not connect. Any suggestions?
Hi! I am having the same problem. What's odd is that a few days ago- the ipad was connecting to the network fine. No changes made. Other devices can connect to this network. I have also been able to connect my ipad to other networks.
I have reset all network settings, reset my ipad, reset the router, hard stop reboot, turn on/off wifi connection. what's interesting is that when i click the arrow next to the network i am trying to log onto- the ip address, router, and dns numbers come up automatically and the router number does not fill in (also- this process takes a long time- at least 5 minutes).
any thoughts? -
Just downloaded OSX10.10 - Yosemite. iPhoto said it needed to be updated, which I did. Upon trying to boot up iPhoto, I received the following message: "The iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." iPhoto will not even open
I'm a bit of a noob but this worked - I right-clicked iPhoto and chose the top option "iPhoto Library". I didn't note the message that appeared, but it was something like
telling me I needed to upgrade iPhoto Library for it to work with my new version of iPhoto
cautioned me that it could take a while, and
once I upgraded it couldn't revert back to an earlier version.
So - I asked it to upgrade, it did, and once it finished iPhoto opened and now works!
I suppose why we could wonder why it wasn't included or mentioned in the original iPhoto upgrade, but this was probably more character-forming...
