911- help - GWA-4082B DVD Drive on G5 just stopped working.

Is there anything I can do to reset it? It won't read discs - just kicks them back out. This just started happening. I need to burn a test for a customer. Help? Thank you

Ah well... another G5!
If you have a Firewire cable, put this one in Target mode by holding the t key down at bootup...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
This G5 should show up as a Firewire drive on the other one to try Disk Utility on it, though you might need something stronger like DiskWarrior...

Can anyone help with a WRT54G connection issue - it just stopped working

I have a Dell running Windows XP. I have a DSL connection with a Westell 6100 modem connected to a Linksys WRT54G router connected to my main computer. I use the router for a wireless connection to my laptop. This setup worked fine for years - until a few days ago. I no longer have internet access on my laptop and main computer.
If I connect from the modem directly to the main computer, I have internet access. But as soon as I put the router back in - I have no access.
All the appropriate lights on the modem and router are lit. When I do try to access the internet I get the dreaded PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED. When I run the diagnostic, the error log shows: "Not all base service provider entries could be found in the winsock catalog. A reset is needed". I don’t know if this is a standard catch-all error or not?
Everything was fine until a few days ago when I just lost access. Do I need a new router? I hate to buy one and then find out something was corrupted on my computer instead. :-(
Thanks!

When connected from modem to PC directly (no router) and I type in ip[config /all (don't know if this is what i should do) -- I get:
IP Address 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers 192.168.1.1
Does this mean I should try to change the LinkSys Router?
I will go look there next.

Help! SB Live! 5.1 driver problems - IDE controllers stop work

Hi. I've owned my SB Li've! 5. card since 200 and it has worked perfectly until now. I had to recently reformat my harddri've, and i had lost my original driver cd-rom disk so i downloaded the SB Li've! 5. driver off this website. When i reformatted my HD everything worked fine until i installed the downloaded SB driver. When i installed the drivers & restarted my PC, my DVD-ROM and CD-writer stopped working completely. I went into Windows control panel Device Manager and the problem seems to be that my Primary and Secondary IDE Controllers aren't working. It says i need to "restart my computer for this device to work properly". Well, i've restarted my PC about a hundred times since then but its still screwed.
I have several times even tried reformatting my harddri've and re-installing the drivers again, but the same problem keeps happening. I can install my graphics card drivers etc. in any order using my DVD-ROM, but the moment i install the SB Li've! drivers my DVD-Rom & CD-writer stops working. I have used my SB card in this same PC w/ virtually the EXACT same hardware & software setup (and Windows version) etc. since i bought my PC, so nothing has really changed.
P.S. I am using Windows 98SE.

I don't really see much link in IDE controller with the sound card. Have you try updating the mainboard chipset driver that's controlling the IDE controller.

Why won't my Intel iMac boot up, either from the internal hard drive or the DVD drive? It just displays a light grey screen, without any other icons, etc. The fact that it won't boot from the original system DVD is what baffles me the most. Any ideas?

If the C key for Install Disc or R Command for OS X Recovery startup commands are not working, try holding the Option key for the Startup Manager.
see > Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
If that does not work and you using a wireless keyboard, it may have become unpaired and you need to dig up a USB keyboard to invoke the startup commands.

My 13" macbook just stopped working. When you turn it on you get a white screen and hear a repetitive clicking sound on the left side. Is this the hard drive? Any suggestions on replacement drives?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Mail server has just stopped working. No errors in any log. Help!

I am running OS X Server 3.0.2 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Today at around 14:30 my Mail server, which has been working fine for over a year and for nearly a month under Server 3.0.2 just stopped working! I have tried stopping and starting Mail in Server.app and via ServerAdmin but the servcies will not start... serveradmin claims that IMAP is running but that SMTP/SMTPD/Virus Scanner/SPAM filtering/Virus updating are not. I tried disabling the all the filtering services but to no avail. Even though it claims IMAP is running I cannot connect from any client...
I have rebooted the machine but this did not help. I have looked at all the logs (system, mail, dovecot, postfix, amavis) and theer are no suspicious messages in any of them!
I am out of ideas and my mail server is down which is very serious so if anyone has any ideas please pitch in.
Thanks.

My problems were:
1.    Server.app shows the Mail service stuck in 'starting' status
2.    serveradmin shows that IMAP is running but SMTPD, Spam filtering, Virus filtering and Virus updating were STOPPED.
3.    No clients could connect to either IMAPS or SMTP.
Diagnostics performed:
All the various messafge logs (system.log, Mail.log, mail-info.log mail-err.log, amavis.log) show no abnormal messages.
DNS is working just fine.
In the end I did the following:
1.    Stop all mail related services.
2.    Make a safe copy of /Library/Server/Mail/Config
3.    Restore the previous days version of /Library/Server/Mail/Config from backup.
4.    Start the Mail service
And all was working again just fine.
I then did a file by file compare of all the configuration files between the workign and not working configurations and I found just the following two differences in postfix/main.cf:
Not working:
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
smtpd_helo_required = no
Working:
inet_interfaces = all
smtpd_helo_required = yes
I don't think the second difference is so critical but the first seems to break everything (not too surprising I guess). All the other files were identical.
So, the good news is that all is working again but the huge concern is why this change happenned, seemingly at random. My strong suspicion is that Server.app, at some point when I exited it havign made some minor change unrelated to mail decided to apply these incorrect changes to the Mail configuration. Why it would do this is beyond me. I think there are some subtle bugs in Server 3.0 (and maybe Server 2.2 as well)...

Hey janicem42177174,
Adobe no longer supports the installation and use of Acrobat 6 as it is a very old version which is not compatible with Windows 7.
I would suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat i.e. 11.0.10 which is fully compatible with your OS with its enhanced features and functions.
You might download a free 30-day trial version of Acrobat from here:
Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat XI Professional
Let me know how it goes

My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.
If that does not work, connect it to itunes, then restore.
If none of that helps, you may need to contact apple. Has it gotten wet?

So my first iPod 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 months! Please help!!!!

My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!

Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting.

Help? My BT Wireless just stopped working (BT Mouse is OK)

Normally the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac (intel) is reliable, its about 4 yrs old now
but today - it just stopped working?
Although it shows (menu) as being connected (BT) and Batteries are at 100%, I can no longer get
keyboard output... and this applies to any running application.
Its not been dropped or mistreated - its just stopped working. I have restarted the iMac but to no avail.
I am using the older USB Keyboard as a stop gap.
My queries are;
     1. Has this keyboard just simply worn out or developed an internal fault ??
     2. Has anyone else experienced this or had similar problems ??
     3. Is there some way I can check the integrity of the BT or the Keyboards communications with the iMac ?
All help to solving this problem - will be most appreciated
Running Mac OSX 10.9.4 on Intel iMac (2CD) 8GB RAM

Hi Barry.
Thanks for your response.....
As mentioned I did restart the iMac which I believe also resets the PR (chime) during that process.
However I will try specifically zapping the PR - several times like the old days and Mac OS 9.
and come back to you

Hi..I recently bought an IPAD and I absolutely love it. I have been Skyping w/my family during this deployment for the past two weeks until yesterday. The camera on my side just stopped working. I am able to see my family. Any help.

Try closing the Camera/Skype app:

2. Hold down the Camera/Skype app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

Thanks for that. I did as suggested but when I tried again, it still did not work. Another com.apple.Grab.plist appeared in the Library.
I now have the following files in Library
