OK, what you have is an iMac G4 17-inch USB2.0. Good work.
Unfortunately, that model is among the hardest to service at home. Getting one apart is a job of modest difficulty; reassembling it so the heat dissipation system works properly is more difficult. Many have succumbed to heat-related failures following improper reasesembly.
Did you try my suggestion of booting the computer while depressing the mouse button?
When you start the computer can you hear a short sound from the optical drive?
If you put a light fingernail pressure between the tray and the computer case, does anything move?
If you need it serviced professionally, unfortunately Apple considers that model obsolete and will not work on them. You'd need to find an independent repair shop that really knows G4 iMacs.

  • How do I get Javascript to work? It is enabled in options but nothing happens when I select something that begins "javascript" on the status bar at the bottom of screen.

    When I tried to download a file from the Canon U.S.A, I clicked on the "I agree - begin download" button and nothing happened. The information in the status bar at bottom of screen, when the mouse cursor is over the download button is "javascript:downloadFile()". I got following from the error console -
    Error: The stylesheet http://www.usa.canon.com/wsss/GeneratedPages/wsss_xsl/global.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
    Source File: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/i_series/i950_series?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware
    There were also many warnings about parsing of commands.
    This sort of thing seems to happens whenever whenever javascript is involved.

    I checked out the "Unable to download or save files" section. The only thing that seemed applicable was the "Reset download actions" section. I renamed the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old but it didn't seem to have any effect on downloading the file I wanted. There was still no response when I asked for the download.
    I have noticed another problem that occurs when I try to download this file. I exit Firefox, then try to restart it. But nothing happens. I have discovered that in the Task Manager that the Firefox process is still running. When I end the Firefox process in the Task Manager, I am then able to restart Firefox.
    By the way, I am able to download the file using Internet Explorer without difficulty.

  • Need to find the way to get the actual error message in the alert log.

    Hi,
    I have configured OEM 11G and monitoring target versions are from 9i to 11g. Now my problem is i have defined the metrics for monitoring the alert log contents and OEM is sending alert if there is any error in the alert log but it is not showing the actual error message just it is showing as below.
    ============================
    Target Name=IDMPRD
    Target type=Database Instance
    Host=oidmprd01.ho.abc.com
    Occurred At=Dec 21, 2011 12:05:21 AM GMT+03:00
    Message=1 distinct types of ORA- errors have been found in the alert log.
    Metric=Generic Alert Log Error Status
    Metric value=1
    Severity=Warning
    Acknowledged=No

    ============================
    Is there any way to get the complete error details in the OEM alert itself.
    Regards
    DBA.

    You need to look at the Alert Log error messages, not the "status" messages. See doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11857_01/em.111/e16285/oracle_database.htm#autoId2

  • HT201263 I have completed these steps several times, and my iphone still says connect to itunes to activate, I just want to get past the activation screen.. and it will not do it. Any other options?

       I cannot get past the connect to itunes to activate screen, i can't even get to the home page with apps and stuff. I bought the iphone used, and was hoping to set it up with prepaid, but I can't get it to activate. I connect it to itunes, and it downloads the new software, and still will not go past the activation screen.

    It sounds like you bought a jailbroken phone (assuming you didn't jailbreak it yourself). Take it back for a refund.

  • Lost connection while downloading a book.  Can't get it to finish after reconnecting.  Status says downloading but nothing happens

    I lost Internet connection while downloading a book through iBook app.  Now it won't finish.  If I go to the iBook store, the status says "downloading" I can't delete it or get it to download.  Anyone have a suggestion?

    I have the same problem, but it happened when I downloaded a sample of a book so I can not do the solution offered by Beachdogz. I would just buy the book but I can't because it says downloading so there's no buy option. Actually it says downloading downloading (twice) if that helps.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

  • My vertical column of bookmarks down the left side of my screen has disappeared and I need to find a way to get it back in the same place.

    This is purely a lay-out issue. We used to be able to choose to permanently display our bookmarks vertically down the left side of the screen, and I want to continue to be able to do so. My bookmarks are not lost; I know they are in my library. But the system doesn't seems to allow me to leave them on permanently down the left side. Please help. I have Windows 7 64-bit and the latest version ofFirefox.

    Do you mean that the bookmarks sidebar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks) gets disabled?

  • Phone says it needs to be restored and to connect to iTunes to restore. Emergency calls only. But nothing happens when i connect it to iTunes. What's going on?

    Why can't I restore my iphone 4. it says to connect to itunes to restore and emergency calls only. But it doesn't restore.

    Reboot your computer
    Connect the USB end of the cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
    Disable your firewall and antivirus
    Launch iTunes
    Disconnect the phone from the other end of the cable
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes black, then release the SLEEP button but contiune holding the HOME button
    Connect the cable to the phone while still holding HOME
    Wait for iTunes to recognize a phone in "recovery mode", then release HOME and your phone should restore.

  • Do you have to have a phone number attached to iphone 4 verizon to get past the activation screen?

    I got an iPhone 4 32gb off of ebay, I do not have it yet. what made me buy it was that it said that it was a unlocked 32gb iphone 4 for $44.99 stuck in a boot loop, I googled that and seen as easy fix got excited then I ordered and paid for it and it is on its way. then I was just looking at the photos again a few minutes ago then noticed that in the one photo there is NO SIM slot, then I said hahaha that is not unlocked as it is a CDMA, then figured that it is a Verizon iPhone so now I am needing to know if one can get past that activation screen if the iPhone does not have a phone number?
    I too have no idea what version iOS is on it. I do know it is a CDMA as it does not have the SIM SLOT on the side of the phone.
    I do not know if Sprint iPhone 4 is without a SIM slot or even if they use the iPhone 4 on Sprint so it has to be a Verizon then yes?
    reguadless the question remaines the same, does it ( a CDMA) have to have a phone number attached to it in order to get it to work using everything on the phone besides the phone part ie making Phone calls and texting?

    as I stated I have NOT recived it in the mail yet, I discovered that it is a CDMA by looking at the pictures again. as just moments before I was reseacring the psychial differences between an iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s and it showed and said that the major way to tell the difference is them cuts in the band on the phone where iPhone 4 has one on top and the iPhone 4s does not, the iPhone 4s has four cuts in it two on each side so when I seen the picture of the top of the iPhone and seen that it did NOT have a cut in the band on top I said to myself wow they miss that it is an iPh9one 4s and not just an iPh9one 4, so I googled how to fix a boot loop and found the answer more then once being the same answer so I bought it.
    then I took a look at the pictures again after all was said and done befre I have yet to recive said iPhone 4 32GB then I noticed it does not have the SIM tray then said oh *&*%^Y$#*$&$#(# that is a CDMA they cannot be unlocked it is either a Verzion or Srint. as I already have an iPone 4 16GB and I cannot get it unlocked becuase they the powers to be them a$$ whipes that love to control other people lives past a law stating that one now has to get permission from AT&T / T Moble to get your phone unloced so I cannot as I have not had the iPhone 16GB but for a week as I too got it off of Ebay thinking I'll just get it unlocked like I did with my other iPhone 4 8GB that I only paid like 2 dollars and some change off of ebay to get it unlocked with no problem within a week it was unlocked. someone stoled that iPhone 4 bGB
    so I got that iPhone 4 16 GB for under 100 dollars in good working order and looks off of ebay just about a week or so before then found that I cannot get it unloceked due to that new law that was passed about unlocking phones. so now I am in comminications with AT&T getting the old run around about getting a stright answer out of them if I keep it ( a second hand phone) on there gophone plan for 6 months can I then get it unlocked, question to them and get an answer that does not state a yes or no as it is a yes or no question.
    but so yeah I am to get that iPhone 4 32GB ph9one in the mail on firday(tomorrow) I do want to open it and see if I can get it out of the boot loop just to see if I can and I may just keep it for an ipod use that is way I am wondering if I got a have it attached to a carrier to activate it in case I restore it at any time.

    If your phone is offline, the ONLY way to find it is to look for it the old fashioned way.  Your phone CANNOT be located electronically if it's offline.

  • I need to find a way to put emails on a personal folder that won't take up all my email space.

    I'm on a mac and I need to find a way to put emails on a personal folder that won't take up all my email space. I've tried 3 times to set them up, but I keep getting the "almost full" message every night.

    Can you tell us exactly what the "almost full" message says? Is it referring to your mailbox (ie, email server space), or your hard drive?
    If your email server is almost full, you can store folders and messages on your Mac. In Mail, go to the Mailbox menu, click New Mailbox, and choose the location "On My Mac". Then drag folders into that new mailbox to move them to your local computer, and off the email server.
    If your hard drive is full, this won't help, and you need a different approach.

    I have had Adobe XI for about two years and My harddrive just crashed. My backups were part of the failure so I can't get it back. I purchased it from a third part supplier and it was a download. I need to find out how to get it restored. I can send screen shots of all of the drive location where the drive is still good and I can see my Adobe Acrobat pro information, but the download itself is missing. NEXT STEP?

    If you are talking about Reader (you did post in the Reader forum), then just download http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise. However Reader is free not purchasable. You can download a trial then install using your serial number, which if you didn’t register or write down somewhere you will be out of luck to track down.

  • Need help with getting images to look smooth (without the bitmap squares) around the edges. When I transfer the image from pictures, it sets itself into the InDesign layout, but with square edges. I need to find out how to get it to look smooth?

    Need to find out how to get my images transferred into an InDesign layout without the rough edges, as with a bit map image, but to appear with smooth edges in the layout. I can notice it more when I enlarge the file (pic). How can I get it to appear smooth in the finished layout. Another thing too that I noticed; it seems to have effected the other photos in the layout. They seem to be
    pixelated too after I import the illustration (hand drawn artwork...)? Any assistance with this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    No Clipboard, no copy & paste, as you would not get the full information of the image.
    When you paste you can't get the image info from the Links panel, but you can get resolution and color info either via the Preflight panel or by exporting to PDF and checking the image in Acrobat.
    Here I've pasted a 300ppi image, scaled it, and made a Preflight rule that catches any image under 1200ppi. The panel gives me the effective resolution of the pasted image as 556ppi. There are other workflow reasons not to paste—you loose the ability to easily edit the original and large file sizes—but pasting wouldn't cause a loss in effective resolution or change in color mode.
