After Leopard install, start up turns off Mac

Nothing lost as I have 4-250 Gb drives and backed up but. . .
Install seemed complete. Upon reboot and subsequent starts, system shuts itself off after grey apple screen. Doesn't even get to rotary spinning timer dealybob under grey apple.
I have four strikes against me here. G4 450 AGP w/Sonnet Encore ST 1.8 GHz, ATI 9800 Pro, Adaptec ATA adapter, Techtools Hi-Cap driver. Did not swap video card, didn't pull ATA, just tried dirty install. Waiting for Intel's new chipset to buy new Mac Pro. Any hope of Leopard on this heap?

The problem isn't the Sonnet card, I'll bet a lot of money it's the Adaptec ATA card. My machine was powering off during boot when I tried to boot from my Firewire drive (this always worked on 10.2, 10.3, 10.4). When I installed the OS on an internal IDE drive it worked fine. Using it now, Sonnet and all. Hope that helps. I did notice on boot that the Sonnet cache enabled kext was not loading so I removed it. I'm not sure if the whole cache is currently enabled and need to look into that.
It DOES work on a Sawtooth with the Encore 1.8Ghz.

When I started my Mac the screen was white with the Apple logo and power motion icon running. I attempted to turn off Mac then a message stating "Debugger called: Button SCI . Also "Waiting for remote debugger connection." What is my next step?

Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

It's not that you can't format it because you have no backup, it's because you'll lose everything when you do. Lesson learned. Always have a backup.

I made a upgrade to snow leopard. after that I can't turn off my computer because the disk is inside and it can't eject.

Turning off MAC filtering

I can't connect to the internet and the problem is with my airport extreme/leopard. I need to find out how to cut off the MAC address filtering to allow my iPhone and windows computer to connect to the internet. I have the modem ethernet plug in my airport, and another ethernet cable coming from that to my windows PC. Both the PC and my iPhone get the 169 IP address and the subnet of 255.255.0.0, so this is an issue with the security on my airport extreme. This issue wasn't there when I had tiger installed but I recently upgraded to Leopard and all of a sudden this is an issue. How do you turn off MAC filtering as I am sure this is the issue holding me up.

Open the Airport Utility, which is in Applications > Utilities.
Select your Airport Extreme and click "Manual Setup".
Choose the Access Control tab.
Set MAC Address Access Control to "Not Enabled" and click "Update".

Fan problem after Leopard install

PowerMac Dual G5 - after Leopard install, fan between hard drive and optical drive revved up like the computer was going to blast off, faster and faster until I powered down by holding down the power button. Leopard seems to be working fine, but with the fan continuing to go at high speed at all times. I've tried reboot, reinstall, pull plug for a few minutes, remove CMOS battery, and zap PRAM, all to no avail. I haven't put the panel cover back on yet, and that may work, but I won't have time to mess with it for a few days and hope for some insight before I try that.Ideas?

Problem went away. Must have been a ghost in the machine.

Have not been able to use keynote if it's linked to icloud. It just starts and turns off quickly. No problem if I toggle off using icloud. Any ideas.

Have you updated to the latest level of Keynote on your iPad? Keynote 2.0.1 (1075) - Check Settings > Keynote
If so, there isn't much that you can do other than report this bug to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
You could try restarting or resetting your iPad.
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

I uninstalled the twitter app because it was acting up so I went to reinstall and it wasn't installing so I turned off my phone while it was in that process then when I turned it back on I closed it and now when I go to install it says I have it already

I had the same issue whilst trying to reinstall Facebook. Facebook hung on installing so I did a hard reset of the phone and got the Apple symbol which wouldn't go away. I did another hard reset which resolved the problem.
To do a hard reset hold down both the on/off and home buttons simultaneously. When the Apple logo appears release both buttons. Phone should eventually restart.

I am trying to update my iPhone 4 with the jailbreak in it. And why I updated it, it was fine at first. Then it started to turn off and turn on over and over again. What do I do? Is this normal?

When jailbroken, you cannot update the iOS on your device. The only way to fix it is to do a full restore through iTunes. Before you do this make sure you backup your device and everything on it.

Kodak 5500 - cannot print after Leopard install

Just want to throw this printer into the list of printers that do not work after Leopard install. I get a raster stream error. I have reinstalled Kodak software; deleted and readded printer, etc, etc,. Still now printing. Scanning works fine though!

Much to my surprise, I received a reply from Kodak a mere few hours after emailing them on Sunday morning. They advised me that a new version of their all-in-one printer software (1.2.0 Release 3) for Leopard will be available on the web on Monday, October 29th.
