AFTER INSTALLING OS7 UPDATE IMAC IS SHUTTING OFF

Yes, as Mike said, please verify the OS version. Mac OS 7 was discontinued in July 1997!

  • After installing latest update, iMac won't complete startup

    It gets to the gray screen with the apple logo and spinning disk, and stays there. It won't let me boot from the install disk, so I can't try a reinstall. I thought I might be able to load Disk Utility via Unix (which I can get to) and repair the permissions, but that doesn't seem to work either (though I don't know Unix well so that could be my fault).

    Hi
    Anything unusual happen during the 10.5.3 update installation phase?
    What type of iMac are you using? Your tag says G5 but also Intel core processors - it can't be both.
    Try this:
    -First unplug your computer and wait 10 minutes
    -Next, simultaneously reinsert the power cord while pressing the power button for 5 seconds then release
    -Press the power button again to start the computer - this resets the computer's system management unit (SMU) which controls your machines power functions.
    -Next, press/hold down the P/R/option/command keys for 3 Apple chimes. This clears the machine's PRAM. After the 3rd chime release those keys and immediately hold down the Shift key to put the machine into Safe User Mode
    -If you get to a log-in screen (may take several minutes as repair functions are occurring on the boot), log-in. When the login is complete, restart the computer as usual.
    If no go, I suggest taking the machine to a certified Apple tech, or if you live near an Apple store to the Genius Bar.

    Actually it sometimes gets a little further, the display will dim and the pointer will appear and then whoop it will turn off. if i do a verbose start up, it will finish all the steps, the white screen will appear and dim and then it will turn off.

  • HP4501e "print spooler off" error after installing printer update

    Motorola Android OS, getting "print spooler off" error after installing printer update... have rebooted both printer and phone to no avail... any help ideas?

    Loralee,
    ??  I am sorry the computer is not working.  I don't work for HP and cannot comment on lawsuits or other calamities.
    If the notebook worked prior to an update -- and this is an entirely different can of worms and problems -- and you think that there is any chance the notebook is just in some sort of "tangled" state and not completely hosed for some reason, you can try the following non-lethal device reset:
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR  Create a restore point Win8
    If you are using a Notebook:
    Close all your programs and shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
    Boot the computer and log in
    Reminder:  Hard Reset is just a device Reset.  The procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way.  This type of reset "clears the cobwebs". Depending on the root cause of the problem, this procedure can fix a variety of computer glitches.
    This does not fix severe Operating System errors -- it is just a device reset.  It can fix minor problems that updates sometimes cause.

  • After installing an update (on an iMac), can the installer (.dmg) be moved to the trash?

    After installing an update (on an iMac of any sort), can the installer (.dmg) be moved to the trash?

    If the update is an OS installer, you might want to consider moving it to a folder of an external backup drive for safe keeping. Why? Because Apple removes earlier OS versions when a new one is introduced; there are several threads here about not being able to download Mavericks.
    Just a thought. I keep copies of all OS installers. That will come in handy shortly as I just purchased a refurb 2012 iMac because it can run/boot with Mountain Lion which I need for a couple of (important to me) software applications. I have a copy of an ML installer tucked away and ready to go.

  • I had to reinstall iTunes cause during update it was shut off by mistake, now it won't come up and says,"The file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes", what do I do?

    I had to reinstall iTunes cause during update it was shut off by mistake, now it won't come up and says,"The file "iTunes Library .itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes", what do I do?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • After installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

    after installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

    Have you gone into system prefs nad made sure that the headphone port is set to audio out. And not audio in.
    Also make sure that you are selecting built in speakers for your audio output.
    If that does not fix it try doing a Pram reset.
    Shut your mac down.
    Press the startup button.
    Hold down the following keys. Command Option P and R. Wait till you hear the chime 2 times. Then let go. See if that fixes it.

  • Printing problems after installing Security Update 2015-002

    After installing Security Update 2015-002 on three separate computers on two different WiFi networks, printers on the network are losing their connections to the computers that can print to them. We have experienced this on a network running a Canon printer and an HP printer - both have disappeared on the network although the printer suggests it is still connected to the network. The same thing has happened on a separate network I manage with a single HP printer on that network. I have tried removing the printers, resetting the printers etc. Nothing is working. I can get one print out of a printer when I turn the printer off and then on. Three minutes later the printer is no longer connected to the computer - although still connected to the network. Please Help.

    I think I have figured out that it is in fact the Apple Extreme Base Station that is losing the printer. It is very odd because the printer is connected to the Wifi. My computer is connected to the WiFi and connecting to the internet. The Router for the internet can see the printer. An Apple Extreme is then connected via a network cable in Bridge mode to the router. When I turned the power off the The Apple Extreme and then restored power it all worked. was still working this morning, but again this afternoon I needed to reboot Apple Extreme. It is quite strange that this is happening on two different Networks in different parts of the country at the same time. Maybe the Security Update is somehow affecting/blocking communication with the printer? I just don't know enough. These networks have been up and running with the same printers and computers for years with zero problems - all of a sudden we have the same problem on both Networks.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.

  • IMac G5 shuts off by himself

    hello everybody,
    I have an iMAC G5 20' and I just update the system with Tiger X.4.7 a week ago and since then my iMac is shutting off abruptely by himself without any warnings. It happens two times last week and tonight it happens twice.
    The overall temperature of the Mac seems correct
    Anyone has any idea ? I already saw that some MAc Book users seems to have the same problem !
    Any comments ? Thanks for your help
    Jipes

    Hi, Jipes.
    Could be a power supply problem or an issue with mains power: assure the power cord is connected properly to the computer and mains power, and that the power cord is undamaged. Try a different power socket. If you use a UPS, be sure the battery is good.
    As far as general iMac G5 troubleshooting goes:
    1. See if your computer's serial number is in the range specified in the "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" document.
    2. Rule out potential hardware problems. Run the Apple Hardware Test that came with the computer. Instructions for doing so will be found in the hardcopy manual that accompanied your computer. For additional details, see my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ.
    3. Check the diagnostic LEDs, a feature of your iMac G5. See "About the iMac G5 diagnostic LEDs."
    4. If your iMac G5 will not turn on, see "iMac G5: Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on."
    5. See also the iMac Service & Support site.
    6. Check the iMac G5 Discussions for similar reports from other users.
    7. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
    8. If the computer is either under warranty or covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, don't hesitate to take advantage of your warranty and contact AppleCare.
    Good luck!

  • My 27inch iMac automatically shuts off

    My 27 inch iMac will shut off automatically after about 30 to 45 minutes - it will not turn on when using the on/off power button.  I have to unplug from the wall, hold down the on/off power button for 10 seconds, plug it back into the wall then usually, it will turn on.  I have tried using different wall outlets and not using a power strip but unless i follow the previous steps, it will not turn on. I ran an apple diagnostic test - it showed no issues with the hardware.  It was purchased from the apple refurbished store in April of 2013.  For hardware -processor 3.2 GHZ quad core intel core i5 - memory 8GB 1600MHz DDR3,  graphics - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX  -software - OS X, iLife '11

    I think you should have received a 1 year warranty on this Mac, so I would take it in and have them fix it for free. If this is happening routinely at about the same time after boot up it sounds like an overheating issue, which is most likely hardware related.

  • OSX cannot boot-up after installing Security Update 2008-008

    Hi Everyone.
    I'm using a MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 3GB RAM with Tiger 10.4.11.
    After installing Security Update 2008-008, my OSX was not able to boot-up. The screen shows the Apple Logo and the spinning grey gear wheel. It stayed that way for several hours.
    I finally switched it off and re-installed OSX 10.4.8 using the Start-up disk that came with my MacPro.
    Now I've updated the OSX, all the software & updates EXCEPT Security Update 2008-08. My MacPro works fine now.
    Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
    Sincerely,
    Azman

    Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
    Probably not directly. Very likely something was not quite right on your computer before the update and the update happened to exacerbate that. A number of people feel that optimizing the maintenance of your computer before doing the update and doing the update under controlled conditions minimizes problems.
    There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
    I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
    Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility.
    You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
    I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
    Repair permissions again afterward.
    It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
    Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

  • Cd burning issue after installing and updating snow leopard

    After installing and updating snow leapard to the latest version, the cd burner for i-tunes quit working.  it says" burning disk initializing" then "burning disk finishing"  comes up with the error "the attempt to burn a disk failed.  the disc drive didn't respond properly and can't recover or retry.  Any suggestions to fix this problem?

    First try other disks, brand new, then try another brand, then consider backup user files and (clean and polish then) c booting off the 10.6.3 disk and simply reinstalling OS X then updating to 10.6.8 again.
    Hopefully this should fix the issue in OS X software, you may have to reinstall certain third party software again that it's kext files got kicked out of OS X by the reinstall.
    If you get hung booting at any time, simply hold the shift key down and then update your software then reboot normally
