After breifly attempting a dismantle OSX loads but all I see is blue screen

I sent away for a superdrive because I was told that they were easy to install...
Being essentially technically incompetent, after going through my 13th screw, I decided that I was in over my head. I attempted to open the computer using instructions for opening a 15" PowerBook by leveraging the keyboard... the top didn't pop off like the pretty picture that I saw of the 15"... I then changed my search terms and found a great site that revealed that I was opening the 12" all wrong...
So I put the screws back in and decided it would be best if a professional put the drive in.
At first after restarting the PowerBook all I saw was the blue screen, then I restarted a couple times and was able to log in. Now, after restarting again, all I see is the blue screen. What's odd is that OSX says that it loads, but I'm not prompted to login... just blue. The volume and dimmer function keys still work, though.
I know I'm an idiot. I need your help
12" PowerBook Aluminum Mac OS X (10.4.3) 867 MHZ

Try things in Mac101 (no offense) and Apple doc.#106464 for your startup issue. 106464 has a link to blue screen help.
Also, try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. His link will help walk you thru it.
Cheers!

Firefox says it is "done" loading but all i see is a white screen

any page i try to load it says it is "done" loading but the screen is blank. it isn't a specific page but any one that i try.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Shogun 2 will load but hang there at the black screen even before the producers videos appear.

Shogun 2 will load but hang there at the black screen even before the producers videos appear. Problem never occur in other games.

Help!

Qwerter, welcome to the forum.
I suggest that you download and install any patches for Shogun 2. This is the first thing that I do when I install a new game. The developers are under a lot of pressure to get the games released. So, there are going to be problems that need to be patched.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Does anyone else see a blue screen just before leopard loads up?

Hi just wondering Does anyone else see a blue screen just before leopard loads up? It when i start my cpu after the apple logo and spinning wheel, then it goes to a blank blue screen for a second, then the desktop. Just wondering if that was normal. Thanks

Yes, it is normal for a Mac to have a blue screen during start-up.
You may also see it change colors from blue to gray.

My ipod touch 4th generation, is stuck on the apple turn-on screen where you turn it on, but all you see is the apple. Any ideas on how to fix this?

my ipod touch 4th generation, is stuck on the apple turn-on screen where you turn it on, but all you see is the apple. Any ideas on how to fix this?

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.

Try updating to iTunes 10.4.1 -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If that doesn't work, try resetting Winsock. It looks like that worked for quite a few people in this thread -> With iTunes 10.4 I can access iTunes store.

hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.

There are two ways to view ITHMB files. The first is to convert them to a more standard format, such as JPEG. You can try doing this with the help of the free utility, ithmbconv. The second way is to use the program iThmb Converter. It will let you view files without converting.

OSX loads, but doesnt finish and does not go to the desktop.

I have a powerbook G4 with OSX Tiger installed. For some reason it loads up to the blue screen with the OSX loader bar. The bar fills, but it does not prompt me to the desktop, it just sits there. Is it a hardware problem?

Alright, well let's try this then.
Restart your computer. After you restart your PC, let's try starting Firefox up in Safe Mode. Read [[Safe Mode|this article]] to see how to start in Safe Mode. If Firefox starts up normally, then this is likely a problem with your extensions, so we will need to disable them one by one (or disable them all and re-enable them one by one) to figure out the offender.
Another thing is please update to Firefox 11 (go to [[www.getfirefox.com|www.getfirefox.com]] to download it since you can't get Firefox open to update). It does have some bug fixes that might help your problem.

Trying to Pull data from ECC data loading but all garbag values

Hi Experts,
I am trying to pull the data from sap ECC. Standard extractor (2LIS_VA_ITM) & 2LIS_VA_HDR. I have imported 2LIS_11_VAITM in ODP objects.

This is data service 4.2 SP1. Can you please let me know how can I correct this.
Please find the attached screen shot after loading for vbeln ??? are coming.

HT3805 Sudden problem: Adjustment panel blank (metadata and library OK). Thumbnail shown as file loads but then image has dark blue cast and is not adjustable. Have current version of Aperture running. Help please

Aperture Help needed: Adjustment panel is blank, although metadata and library panels normal. Thumbnails appear normal but when RAW (CR2) file is loaded, it appears with a dark blue cast, and does not load into the adjustment panel, and is not adjustable. Suggestions please

You may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman: Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work
Good luck.
Post back, if this does not help.
