Startup Issues with Mac OS 10.4

Hello
My wife has a G4 Tower with Mac OS 10.4 Tiger installed.
When she starts up, she gets a flashing question mark, then the computer boots briefly after that.
I found on the apple site an article that said all she needs to do is select the correct startup disk in the startup disk preferences.
So we did that, and restarted.
Thats when more serious problems began...
Her computer started up after quite a bit of time, but her screen (for lack of a better word) was completely messed up. She had like a double image going where as if the screen was duplicated and moved diagonally upwards to the right. Two arrows, two sets of folders, it looked really odd.
This happened before awhile back, and we managed to fix it (forget how).
So then she restarts the system, and it just beeps at her, the screen is completely grey (no icons), and there's just a "beep beep.... beep beep..."
We restarted a couple more times with no resolve. So then she decides to Zap the PRam. After doing that, we got the flashing question mark back, and the computer started up as normal...
So now we're a little reluctant to do anything else, but it seems very odd that selecting the startup disk sent the computer into a tailspin.
Just an FYI, our copy of Mac OS 10.4 IS a legal copy, so it's not some sort of "piracy" issue incase people were thinking that way...
Hope someone can help.. Thanks in advance..

Hello Again! Most new drives should arrive with the auto spin enabled but there are so many drives out there it's hard to tell without getting the specs and checking the drive. When the pram was reset was the procedure below followed?
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
Tom

  • Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

    Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

    I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

  • Internal hard drive issue with Mac Pro

    I work for two office that share information through a VPN. Each office has one Mac Pro being used as a server for data storage. The Pros have four internal hard drives (1TB each).
    Hard drives in the Pro for OFFICE 1 were configured like so:
    HD1 - OS/Boot drive
    HD2 - Time Machine backup of HD1/DATA1/DATA2
    DATA1 - Data storage
    DATA2 - Data storage
    Three weeks ago: Time Machine could not find HD2 and could not backup. I rebooted the machine and HD2 reappeared. However, after the reboot, DATA1 did not mount. I was unable to find DATA1 in Disk Utility. However, the drive could be accessed by all other Macs on the network. This machine was taken to the local Apple Store and we were told that HD2 was a bad drive and need to be replaced. We opted not to replaced the drive at this time and turned Time Machine backups off. We haven't had any problems with DATA1 since. (NOTE: During the weeks prior, the client machines intermittently lost connection with DATA1 and would have to reconnect)
    Last week: OFFICE 2 - Mac Pro hard drives configured the same as OFFICE 1; however, HD2 was not used for TM backups. TM was turned on and set to backup HD1/DATA1/DATA2 to HD2 (exactly like OFFICE 1). The next day, TM could not find HD2 and backups stopped running. I rebooted the machine, HD2 reappeared, but we did not restart the TM backups.
    Today: OFFICE 2 client machines have experienced intermittent disconnecting of DATA1.
    I wasn't extremely concerned with the situation at OFFICE 1 as these Pros are almost five years old and in constant use. We plan on purchasing an external drive for the TM backups. HOWEVER, with a similar situation now being experienced in OFFICE 2, I am perplexed.
    Could both machine be experiencing hard drive failures weeks apart? They were both purchased and installed at the same time.
    Is there a known issue with TM and internal drives?
    One difference between the two machines: OFFICE 1 is running OS X 10.8.5; OFFICE 2 runs 10.6.8
    Any suggestions/help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Relying on TimeMachine has some issues, along with only having one, I use at least two swapping TimeMachine so that they rotate AND I clone every drive (volume actually) so I can swap drives if need be, especially useful for t he system but good for any drive.
    Power issues in t he buildings?
    There are some programs that will scan for and report and./or attempt to reassign a failing sector ("fail" is qualitative, is 10 write failures a fail? then the 9th is not but it is a "weak sector.") Some run in the background.
    Mirror can be 2 or 3 ( I prefer 3, that way if one fails I STILL have a mirror array in place) where any failure is not acceptable, AND where the array data is backed up usually - less important  when using a three-drive configurations.
    How old, when last initialized (zero), and is it showing spare blocks being used? that last is the most indicative of failed drive.
    Rare but a bad SATA cable or power (seeing how the cables are tucked away) is only way generally for multiple failures in same drive bay or computer. Note: early on in 2006-7 there were reports of some customers having motherboard and trouble with a drive bay , and t he problems showed up early.
    Often though it is NVRAM or SMC related issue trigged by something else, a USB cable or device that is faulty, even a PCIe controller that is the culprit. And replacing cable, keyboard, device, and resetting SMC and NVRAM (often NVRAM needed to be done multiple times, but never keep resetting SMC) - unplugged and when you connect back up, do not install anything other than system, keyboard and mouse and see if that helps.
    With a drive, likely the drive in 85% or more, is fine, but the directory is not, or it needs to be erased to rebuild all the system partitions.
    1TB is small for TimeMachine. 350% of the amount of data, and always have free space for a full backup set of all the data. T.M. will try and prefers to automatically backup any and everything plugged in and connected, rather than my preference which is ASK FIRST to add a drive to TM backup set, otherwise leave it out. 600GB of data and system would mean 2.5TB drive, maybe 2TB minimum.

    The second downloaded version made it farther than the first on the installation.  It makes it to the installation of PSE 10 and then jumps from 60% installed to 98% and shows the above message.  This is getting really frustrating given that it takes me several hours to download a copy of this software.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Barbara,
    Thanks for the advice.  Unfortunately, it didn't work.  I deleted (and emptied the trash) of the Adobe folder in the Hard drive>library>application support folders, uninstalled the partial install of PSE 10 using Adobe's uninstall, turned off the antivirus software, and tried installing from a new administrative account.  Here is the error code from this most recent attempt.

    This computer has had some previous Photoshop versions migrated to it over the years (Photoshop 4.0 for OS 9, and Photoshop 7.0).  Photoshop 7.0 stopped working after I upgraded the OS from Tiger to Snow Leopard, and I no longer have the disks or serial number so that is why I'm trying install PSE 10.  Could these old versions (which I tried to delete, but did not have a specific uninstall version for) be a source of this issue?  If so, is there a way to make sure they're all gone?
    Thanks

  • Permission/Privilege Issues With Mac OS Lion

    I created a new user account after I installed Lion, transferred my files over, and now I'm having issues with my account. I don't know if permissions and privilages are responsible for the issues, but seemingly so. I also have to mention that when I was changing over user accounts, I ended up wanting to change the short names on both my old and new accounts, so I used the root user to do so. Here are some problems I've been experiencing:
    - When I open system preferences, it always opens up to the General pane. No matter what.
    - After restarting, certain windows that I had open at a certain time keep opening up, no matter if I closed them out and had completely new windows open.
    - Preferences in certain applications will not save. Audacity opens up each time I start my computer, there is a tick box for show this screen when starting Audacity, I untick it, but it still opens up each time. Photoshop gives me a message that my preferences can't be saved because I don't have the right privilages. Textedit keeps opening up to a certain file I had open a couple of days ago, and when I try to save a new document, it gives me an error. Safari only remembers history from a couple of days ago. And when I try to reset Safari, and reopen it, the same old history is displayed.
    - When I try to move files to my desktop or to the Trash, I have to authenticate it.
    I tried Repairing the disk, repairing permissions, inserting my Mac os leopard disk and doing the same, and using the Reset Password utility on the Mac os installation disk to repair permissions to my home folder, but nothing is working.

    Hi everyone, I have found a solution. This worked for me:
    1) Create a new user account. Make sure it has a desireable name, otherwise you're going to want to change it later, and that will cause permission issues. (check if preferences are saving in this temporary new account, if not, I can't help you.)
    2) Transfer all the files you want to keep by putting them in the SHARED folder.
    3) Change permissions to the folders and files in your shared folder by right clicking and clicking on GET INFO. Then go to the very bottom of the popup menu and unlock the picture of the lock. Next change permissions so that your new account will have permission to view the files. You might have to add your new account to the list by pressing the plus button, or simply allow staff the read and right, or just let everyone read and right. Next click on the gear menu (the one with the little gear on it.) and click on APPLY TO ENCLOSED ITEMS.
    4) Go to your new user account and take the things in the shared folder and put them where you had them in your older account.
    Now you have a new user with the files you want, the permissions right, and preferences will save!
    I really really really hope this works for you. I know how extremely frustrating it was. It worked for me, and I am so relieved now.

  • Display Issues with Mac Pro 1.1 HELP!!

    I have a Mac Pro 1,1:

    Running OSX 10.6.3
    I'm on my second graphics card [ATI Radeon HD 2600] after having issues with the original [NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT]. The issue with the NVIDIA card was that, at times, it would display digital artifacts, glitches, distortion and freeze up the system forcing me to have to do a hard shut down. I found many reports of similar issues with that card and the Mac Pro 1,1's.
    When I replaced it with the ATI the problem went away for 6 months and now IT"S BACK.
    So, are there any particular graphics cards that work OK with the Mac Pro 1,1? I don't want to waste my money again only to encounter the same issue!
    I'm also contemplating getting a new Mac all together.
    Please advise, I've read many threads with this issue and they all seem to point to the same deal: replace the card. I can't afford to keep replacing graphics cards.
    Saki

    The 2600XT required 10.5.2+ and while it may 'look' like a G5 the Mac Pro is not. G5 refers to IBM PowerPC based, not Intel Xeon EFI based.
    You're running 10.6.3, might want to update your profile itself.

  • Compatibility issues with mac OS - Lightroom 4 works where CS5 won't

    Hope someone can shed some light on this issue...
    I tried installing Lightroom 4 on Mac OS 10.6.1 (which is currently running CS5 without issues) but the specs call for OS 10.6.8 or later (10.7). When I updated my OS to 10.6.8, none of my CS5 apps work! They encounter launch errors - InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver... only Photoshop seems to work. So, I reverted back to OS 10.6.1 and all the programs function. Is Adobe working on a solution to fix this issue? I see with the forums that several other users have noted the same issue with CS5 not working in the OS 10.6.8 environment. I don't want to upgrade my OS just to have Lightroom function, but none the CS apps. I was thinking of partitioning my HD to load both OS, but that shouldn't be the workaround. I am very disappointed that I've purchased Lightroom 4 and now am unable to use it due to compatibility issues with the OS with the rest of CS5.0.

    Pixelzboy are you receiving any specific errors when launching your applications under 10.6.8?  CS5 should work just fine with 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.3.  You may also want to post to the product specific forums with your launch errors as the users in those forums will be more familiar with troubleshooting steps specific to those products.

  • E2100L Cisco Connect and Network Magic compatibility issues with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

     When you will release the latest version for Wireless router Linksys E2100L?, because I bought a MAC with Lion and I can´t use my Router.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Older versions of Cisco Connect for Mac computers have compatibility issues with the latest release of Mac OS X (10.7 “Lion”). Only Cisco Connect versions 1.4.11222 and newer are compatible with the Lion operating system.
    Here is the link to ensure that Cisco Connect can be installed on your Mac: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=a4e763be954243cfa0ab960c0fac7105_KB_23xxx_EN_v1.xm...
    There is no such information about the release of Cisco Connect for E2100L for the Mac OS X (10.7 “Lion”) compatibility, so you need to wait for further release of the firmrware for E2100L. 

  • Sudden banding issue with Mac and new Canon printer, already called tech

    Good morning fellow Elementites.
    I have been using Photoshop Elements 12 on my MacBook Pro 13 inch, running Maverick OS, printing to HP Photosmart Premium all-in one with no banding issues, ever.
    I did want to upgrade my printer and monitor so I purchased the Canon Pixma Pro 100 and a new external LG IPS monitor to view the PSE program.
    I also purchased ColorMunki Display to calibrate the monitor. Everything is operational with the recommended settings for color etc.
    I printed a .tiff image and a .jpg through the PSE print function. The images that looked perfect on the new monitor and Macbook monitor printed with banding. I called Canon tech support. The man had me perform a few tasks to make sure the printer was operating correctly. We printed test sheets from the printer and they were all as they should be.
    He the said he NEVER prints from PSE. He edits in PSE but prints using Canon's EZ share or print or whatever it's called, doesn't matter cause I do NOT LIKE IT AT ALL. Not to mention it is just another step in the work flow. Not to mention that I paid good money for a photo editing program of high quality and I want to use ALL the features.
    He said the problem isn't the printer but the printing software instructions TO the printer via the Mac OS printer system, or something like this is what he said. He also had me download some other updates and driver files. He then had me remove the printer from my printer list and then add it back.
    He then had me print the .jpg image, (it only prints .jpg which is annoying as heck,) and it came out SO BEAUTIFUL I ALMOST CRIED
    I want to print this quality THROUGH PSE. Does anyone have a clue as to what to do to resolve the issue?  None of the suggestions in other threads from the past seem appropriate enough.
    Eager to hear,
    Regards.

    I have returned home and have copied down all the settings so that I may post them here before I do any more fiddling.  Maybe something glaring will be spotted before I start changing things.
    I opened an image in PSE 12.
    I chose from the PSE menu at the top of the monitor, FILE >PRINT
    A window appears with my photo and boxes and such: 1. Select Printer> CANON PRO 100-SERIES (The other printer isn't concern now).
    Select Paper Size and Orientation, no problems with this or any of the other settings in this window.
    I then select MORE OPTIONS button at bottom of window.
    Another window opens.
    There are 3 options listed on the left hand side PRINTING CHOICES which it is automatically on, CUSTOM PRINT SIZE which I haven't needed yet, and COLOR MANAGEMENT.
    I select COLOR MANAGEMENT.
    COLOR HANDLING is set to PRINTER MANAGES COLOR.
    IMAGE SPACE is listed, not in any box, as sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    PRINTER PROFILE is listed in a box that is grayed out and not selectable, as CANON IJ COLOR PRINTE...
    RENDERING INTENT is set in a selectable box as RELATIVE COLORMETRIC.
    (There is a little mssg below all this that reminds me to remember to enable color management in the printer preferences dialog.  I was never able to find this action and after doing some research I read that this mssg is a boo boo as the function is automatic in MAC running Maverick, supposedly).
    I then click OK and the box goes away.
    I then click the PAGE SET UP button.
    A window titled PRINT opens.
    The Printer selection box says CANON PRO=100 series.
    The next box always confuses me because nothing in the list appears to pertain to me when I want to print my photos.  It is the Presets box.
    I believe FAST PRINTING ON PLAIN PAPER is always showing when I open this window.  But I don't want that so I always look to see if there is something I should choose that applies.  I don't know what they mean by DEFAULT SETTINGS in this case.  LAST USED SETTINGS would be ok if that was what I wanted each time I printed.  FAST and FINE on Plain Paper?  I have been assuming they mean plain copy paper so I don't choose that.  SAVE CURRENT SETTINGS AS PRESET, I don't choose that because I haven't been sure of the settings.  And the SHOW PRESETS does me no good becuase you can't change anything in there.
    PAPER SIZE, not an issue at the moment.
    LAYOUT button is my next stop, by now I am exhausted
    I look at COLOR MATCHING which shows CANON COLOR MATCHING as the selected method.  (The other choice is COLOR SYNC but I don't know anything about that one and haven't been told to change it.)
    PAPER HANDLING & COVER PAGE, N/A at this time.
    QUALITY & MEDIUM.  I choose my paper type, paper source, print quality which for my photos I select HIGH.  I don't touch COLOR OPTIONS because that is scary looking.  And BORDER and MARGIN I have no issue with.
    I then hit SAVE and the window closes.
    Then I select PRINT in the lower right of the window that has my photo in it and from which I acessed all these other things.
    Phew.  So, can anyone tell me if they see anything wrong here, PLEASE.

  • Issues with Mac Version of Adobe Captivate 6

    I am having issues with Adobe Captivate 6 for Mac.  I am missing functionality.  Specifically the advanced actions dialog box.  I get "null" value in all the fields in the dialog box.  Also when I open captivate the welcome screen is blank.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing but I am still having the same issues.  Am I missing something on the install?  Has anyone else experienced these issues?

    Hi,
    Did it worked fine previously? Can share some more information like your Mac version?
    Can you share the screenshot of the problem screens?
    Also, Try to follow these steps, to verify in case your Preferences have not gone corrupted--
    1) Close Captivate
    2) Launch Finder
    3) Go -- Go to Location
    4) ~/Library -- Go to Preference>Adobe> Adobe Captivate 6, Rename the Folder to 'Adobe Captivate 6_Old '
    5) Relaunch Captivate and verify if thing improve.
    Thanks,

  • Serious issue with Mac OS X 10.6.4 and wireless networking

    Hello there, I'm having a serious issue with my TP-Link WP-8910G wireless router and Mac OS X 10.6.4 .
    Problems began some days ago. In short, after a certain period of time, my router drops the wireless connection out and, when I try to re-establish it, if a very short period of time has passed after disconnection Airport detects the wireless network and returns "connection timeout". If I wait more, no wireless connection is detected, and I have to reset the router and re-connect Airport. This is very annoying.
    How can I solve this issue?

    Have you verified that the router is not the problem?

  • Issues with Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 and Windows File sharing

    We are having lots of issues with our SMB share on Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. The main issues are the following:
    - Group ACLs seem to not work properly, and I have had to add dozens of manual permissions on a per-user basis
    - Often, users open a file in read-only mode, without any reason, and can't modify it
    - Often, users open a file with full write access, but then cannot save it and have to use a "save as function".
    After having looked all over the Internet and on the Apple's discussions forum, it seems like this issue has been around for quite some time now:
    http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?forumID=702&threadID=&q=smbANDpermissions&objID=f702&dateRange=thisyear&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1546867&#1546867
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=647251
    And no real answer/solution has been provided by Apple yet.
    I also looked on Samba related pages, and it seems like these issues were Samba related (both ACL/OpenLDAP and Microsoft Office file handling issues), and the current version of Samba (3.0.23c) seem to have solved lots of issues in these areas:
    http://us1.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.23c.html
    Apple ships Samba 3.0.10 (16 Dec 2004) with 10.4.8, which makes the shipping version at list 15 versions (and 18 months) behind the current Samba release (30 Aug 2006).
    People within the company are obviously quite unhappy with the situation and beyond me looking like a fool for migrating from Windows Server to OS X, I now need to find a solution to the issues.
    I would like to know what is the official and Apple recommended way to solve this issue.
    Kind regards,
    Pejvan
    It seems like Apple is totally ignoring the issues, users are facing with SMB shares, while their emphasize as a selling point how OS X Server is a great "windows file" server.

    Hiya
    Thanks for the reply.
    >Is there a UPS involved?
    I wish there had been. I might not be having to deal with it now! :-)
    >If you boot from the Install Disc & use System Profiler there, does the Same RAM situation? Did you physically >check those slots? Thinking maybe the OS is kicking them out on bootup?
    I've had the following suggested to me on another forum - "My guess on the RAM error is this. You have a processor that wants the RAM to be dual channeled and since it reads both A slot are populated it wants both B slots to be populated. Remove A2 and put it in B1"
    But unless it is degrading performance I'll probably just leave it.
    > Still can't get it to boot from the Clone holding the Option/alt key at bootup?
    I can get it to boot from the Clone using the option key but it's a pretty random event. I can try for ages and then suddenly it'll work. Or it may work first time. It does seems to work more easily after a PRAM zap. The funny thing is that once it is booted up it will re-start in any way I want it to (the boot volume, the clone, a disk, single user mode etc). It is just hard to boot from a full shutdown.
    I'm thinking that if I ca get the start-up issue fixed then I can fix the RAID issue at my leisure and even add the hard-drive that the clone is currently on to the RAID array.
    Thanks again.

  • AnyConnect SSL Client issue with Mac OS X

    Hello this seems to be a very common issue with AnyConnect working on Mac OS X. A lot of random sites talk about this.
    I have a Cisco 2801 running IOS 12.4(22)T (ADV ENT SRV) with AnyConnect 2.3 package installed.
    From Windows I can connect without any issues.
    From a Mac OS X after providing login credentials the AnyConnect log says its connecting... checking for updates... and then disconnects.
    If this does work on Mac OS X what is needed (or needs to be configured) to get this to work properly on Mac OS X?
    Thank you!

    Hello All,
    I recently experienced the same problem when my company upgraded to our entire company from the stone age to a VPN system using the Cisco AnyConnect. At first, I had the same problem as described above. Then my IT guy and I got on the phone with Cisco.
    Here is the solution that worked for me. First, our IT department had to specifically load a MAC connection file into the VPN firewall to allow access for MacIntosh computers. Then I redownloaded the latest anyconnect files and updated whatever else through the vpn.yourcompany.com site. Finally, from www.citrix.com/download I downloaded (on the RH side under featured downloads) the appropriate Citrix ICA File.
    Everything works fine now. I don't know if this will work for you, but it did the trick for us.
