After the dreaded balck screen w/ pwr symbol my user accout is gone but...

Wow I finally got to a block to type in! I have no idea if I am in the right place but here goes: I got the dreaded black screen with the white power button symbol. Started up from original system disk only to find that I was no longer around. "User" as I was known had disapperedalong with all of my files. However they still occupy the majority of my hard drive space. I cannot find any files which I had previous to the incident. My hard drive was giving me "out of space" messages prior to the event and I had thrown away some nonessential files etc. Also found permissions way out of whack and repaired all. HELP!

John,
Find your G4 laptop on the list at the newer hardware pages here and see if you get a response from more users. This area is for really old stuff!
Good luck,
Jim

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Iphone 3g shuts off after the apple loading screen then cuts back on

Iphone 3g shuts off after the apple loading screen then cuts back on by its self but when i connect it to a charger it works fine also my on/off button is unresponsive (i havent dropped it or wet it so im confused why its doing this)

Welcome to the discussions,
normally you could try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back. But since the sleep button is unresponsive, try to restore "as new iPhone", if necessary without using the backup afterwards, in case the backup contains corrupt data.

BT Netprotect and the dreaded white screen

I see a lot of negatives on this site about BT Netprotect but it has always worked for me. My pc has a decent processor and memory bank so resources have not been a problem. So you can imagine my dismay when Netprotect would not load and simply presented the dreaded white screen. More dismay when I could not remove it using windows 7 or ccleaner. Tried all sorts including a big old swear at the inanimate object. Feeling better at having got my frustrations off my chest I decided that for whatever reason Netprotect had gone. In a moment of pure genius (blush) I decided to try and reinstall. I logged into my BT account and followed the links. Downloaded the files and watched with childlike smugness as McAfee deleted all the old files and reinstalled new ones. One check for updates and a full scan later and the smugness was at swmbo is gonna slap me levels. It was worth it, it worked. If you have the same problem it may work for you. Downsides, stupid program made me delete Spybot and Malwarebytes as "unsafe", now reinstalled and working fine. 'Ells bells, BT labs use Malwarebytes! Netprotect may not be perfect, is resource greedy and can frustrate you, but the white screen menace can be beaten.
Of course when I boot my pc tomorrow (okay today now), if I see a white screen and a McAfee logo, swmbo may yet see a grown man cry.....

Glad you got it sorted. Reinstalling often sorts out problem software, having said that I still wouldn't have BTNetprotect on my computer. I have never heard of any other antivirus giving any problems like the amount that BTNetprotect and McAfee does.

When I try to play several games like: FiFa 2011HD, Real Racing2HD and TransformersHD, after I selected the configurations to start to play it, and then the game close the window and returns to the Ipad main screen. I upgraded my Ipad at Apple store but nothing happened. Anyone knows how can I resolve it, please ?

1. first try to reboot your ipad
if that don't work then try downloading another app don't matter which one
and if it fix your problem you can just delete it afterwards

After the last update of OX Aperture ask for a serial number. But i haven´t a serial number! what should i Do? Please help me!

If you bought it the Mac App Store it shouldn't be asking for a serial number.
If you bought from the Apple Site with your web browser disregard these instructions.
What I would try:
Move Aperture (the application) from the Applications folder to the Desktop.
Log into the MAS using the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase Aperture.
Do a fresh download and install
If Aperture works now trash the version you moved to the Desktop.
If not post back

IBook has no video until after the Apple loading screen

Just as the title says, the iBook (14" G4) will not show video until after the grey Apple loading screen. It first displays when the Tiger loading screen comes up. Any ideas? I've tried a PRAM reset and NVRAM reset. Anything else I can try?
Thanks

You could try resetting the PMU, but as long as it's working okay otherwise, I don't think I'd worry about it.

The dreaded Restart Screen

My PB has gotten into the habit of requiring a restart every 30 minutes or so. I'll be working and the dreaded grey/black screen comes down saying that I need to restart my computer (the one with the power image). I've rebuilt the drive twice using Disk Warrior. I've also checked the computer several times using Disk Genius. They both keep telling me that there are no problems, but still the dreaded screen returns. I attempted to take my laptop to my local Apple store, but there was at least a 3 hour wait. Is there any advice you can offer?

Here is the last one before I turned it on to answer your question.

New twist on the dreaded white screen when renting movies

I have been hit with the nasty white screen after renting a movie. After reading the discussion forum, this is apparently a "personality" issue with ATV and Apple has not yet found a fix. However, after performing the "pull-the-plug" reboot, which in the past has corrected the problem, I now have a new problem. When the main menu appears after reboot, it is frozen and it does NOT respond to the remote. The only command it recognized was the menu + "-" reset command. When it resets and comes to the screen asking for restart, diagnostics, or factory reset choices, the remote works. But when you select restart and get back to the main menu, it freezes. (I ran diagnostics and ATV says it feels fine.) For some reason, a bug is preventing atv from recognizing any remote commands. Right now I am in the 24hr movie viewing window, and I will let that period elapse to see if the corrupted white screen rented movie just dies its deserving death and releases the main menu back to my command.
I guess my ultimate ploy would be factory reset, but then aren't I put back in the position of re-syncing my 6,000 songs, and photo library?
Anyone else have this glitch??

I have the dreaded blue screen need HELP????!

I was just downloading the updates and then the computer restarted and the screen is blue, mouse still works. I was looking at other articles for bluescreen but it was for an installation of Leopard problem. The program I have in my computer is 10.2.3.Somebody wrote to hold down control and s. it took me to single user type screen that looked like MSDOS. I put /sbin/fsck -fy which they stated to do. I pressed enter it said something but I forgot what. I restarted the computer and now when it is loading up it stops when it says waiting for application services. I think I dug myself in a bigger whole when I typed that stuff in the MSDOS type screen. SOMEBODY PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT OF THIS WHOLE?

The Dreaded White screen (display) issue

Hey guys,
I have the ol' white screen problem. I can mount, restore, and everything just fine but instead of showing menu's the screen shows a white screen.
I have tried all the 5 R's and even restoring again and again. From what i've read here (since my ipod is out of warranty) I'm pretty much screwed and will have to buy a new one. My question is if I wanted to replace the broken part myself, would this be the logic board?
All of this started because I dropped my ipod 2ft onto carpet at work
Thanks

They sell replacement parts, but not the logic board.

PLEASE HELP 2/24/13 Brand new iPod Touch 5th Gen froze on set up and I tried to shut it down and it was on the apple logo screen for a long time and it shut down but now it won't turn on! PLEASE HELPPPPPP

DESPERATE PLEASE HELP So my mother got herself an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and barely asked me to set it up last night, (BRAND NEW NOT OPENED YET).. I set it up not plugged into iTunes (directly on iPod). I was setting up a new iTunes account for her (got passed Wi-fi set up and location services) and as I was doing that, it mysteriously froze somehow. So I held the home button and power button down simultaneously, which I thought would restart the iPod/shut it down.. so it did, and it was on the apple logo screen for a LONG TIME.. and when I checked after a long time, it was black. I tried to turn it on, charge, and plug it into itunes (iMac computer) and it won't turn on!!!!! PLEASE HELP

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.

Firefox was not working properly with facebook, so i restored my system to a previous version, after the restore, firefox is not working, i am trying to launch firefox but it is not opening, please help me...

fire fox is not starting.

Be careful with using system restore as it only restores some file, so you end up with a Firefox installation that has a mixture of old and new files.
Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Satellite A210 - Screen turs off after the Windows startup screen

when I boot my windows there is the startup screen. After this my screen turns off and can't login to windows.

Where can I get some old drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600, which I can install without starting windows?

> Where can I get some old drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600, which I can install without starting windows?
Please dont understand me wrong but I think you are on the wrong way.
Device drivers (graphic card, LAN, etc.) have to be installed within running system (i.e: Windows OS, etc)
Im sure; driver isnt the problem if nothing is visible on the screen.
First of all I would recommend you to connect the notebook to an external screen/monitor just to check if something would be visible on the 2nd display.
But just one question: did you try to boot the notebook using a bootable disk (windows installation disk, Toshiba recovery disk or similar???).
Maybe the Windows system is muddled up and therefore you are not able to boot up the system? In my opinion you should test this option.

The dreaded white screen

just before, i was on my macbook, and noticed it was freezing up alot, i went to force quit some programmes and it froze totally on the force quit box, after waiting 5 minutes, i gave up and manually shut down the computer, when i went to turn it back on, the chime sounded but then stuck to a white screen
how do i resolve this as soon as possible?

Thank you! I've tried and tried to reset it but I never get the apple icon. I never thought to let the battery completely die. Hopefully that works.
I did notice tonight that it doesn't stay on very long after I disconnect from the computer USB. Does this sound like a larger problem? I'm trying to do what I can before I resort to shipping it in for service.
Thank you!
Tracey
