After vacation why is my eMac not working right?

I shut my eMac down for five weeks this Summer.
Ever since I've gotten back it has frozen when iTunes are opened.
After hooking up an ethernet cord I can usually download podcasts without the eMac freezing.
I don't know if the Airport Express is the problem.
I mainly use the eMac for iTunes downloading.

Did you unplug the eMac from the wall outlet while you were away? If so, the internal backup battery ("PRAM" battery, informally) is surely dead. Replacing it is an easy do-it-yourseld job; Apple's instructions are here:
eMac: How to Replace the Backup Battery
This is the battery:
NewerTech 3.6v Lithium 1/2 AA PRAM Computer Clock Battery

  • Why is Bootcamp is not working right on my MacBook Pro (No Bootable Device)?

          I am not a computer geek but I learned a lot through reading forums and other people’s experiences. I want to use Windows 64bit in order to work on an Architecture portfolio using AutoCAD, Revit, 3DS Max, Sketchup, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I use these programs at school and on a PC and love it. I want to use these programs at home but wasn’t confortable with the Mac version so I had Windows installed on Parallels but even after upgrading my RAM to 10GB my computer was quite slow so I rather work on my projects separate from my Mac side (also, would feel less distracted) and set up Windows on Bootcamp, but I’ve encountered some issues.
            I wasn’t planning on partitioning my hard drive until after updating to Mavericks. Then I noticed I did not have the option to create a Windows 7 install disk so I reprogrammed the info.plist for the option to appear. After following all three steps, the computer restarted with a black screen that read “No bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key”
    -Pressing any key didn’t help so I restarted and held the alt/option key until the booting options popped up and only got
         -Macintosh HD
         -Recovery HD
    -Did not get a Bootcamp boot option so I repartitioned the hard drive to a single volume and repeated several times and still the same thing
    -I tried using Disk Utility to partition, but the results were the same
    -I tried using a different Windows7.iso file and still the same
    -I also tried a 2.0 and 3.0 USB thumb drive for the .iso file
    -Bootcamp Partition shows up on my Finder window on the side tab under ‘Devices’ and shows up on Disk Utility, but not on Startup Disk and not when I start my computer and hold alt/option.
    -I did not plug in the Windows Support Software at all (I read somewhere that said not to plug in until after Windows partition boots and installs, but didn’t even get to that point)
    -Had no CD nor USB plugged in other than the flash drive that carried the .iso
    -I read a comment that said to copy the files bootcamp made (WINISNSTALL) to the ‘root’ of the flash drive, but that I see they are already on the ‘root’ (unless I don’t know what root is?)
    -I also tried reformatting the partition on Disk Utility from MS-DOS (FAT) to Windows FT Filesystem but fails every time
    -I also made a backup, and restored the computer (took hours!) and repeated everything
    -After trying almost everything, I still get the “No bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key” message.
    When it gets to reformatting, I have no idea what I am doing, the only reason I am trying all these methods is because of what I read on other peoples success stories and comments, but its either my computer does not work, I am missing something, or I’m not geek enough.
    -Just to let you know, the first .iso I had worked on Parallels but not for Bootcamp
    -I don’t think this matters but I am trying to partition my 320GB hard drive at 70GB for the Windows side. The only thing I will be installing would be the architecture programs while my projects and files would be saved on an external hard drive.
    -Computer is up to date at version 10.9.1
    -MacBook is from Early 2011, 13-incher
    -The only method I could think of that I did not try was using a DVD to create an .iso disk because most comments said USB gave the best results.
    -Should I use my Hitachi 250GB External Hard Drive 2.0 instead of a USB Sandisk 16GB 3.0 and Verbatim 4GB 2.0
    PLEASE HELP ME ANY ADVICE WOULD HELP!! And Happy Holidays!

    Your post is incredibly hard to read, font is way to small.
    If you used Boot Camp Assistant to create a partition to install Windows to you need a REAL Windows 7 or 8 install media and license key and you have to actually install Windows on your Mac. Boot camp is only for creating a partition to install Windows and starting the Windows install from REAL Windows install media.
    That Windows install media has to be a DVD disc, if your Mac has a built in DVD drive (Apple does not allow Windows to be install any other way on Mac computers that originally come with a built in DVD drive), or from a USB stick with the actual Windows install files on it (Not an ISO of the Windows install files).
    So the question is did you install Windows on your Mac? It doesn't look like it from the Option key boot and the list of available Boot Devices you posted.

  • Why mice with Nanotransceptor not work right with the macbook pro?

    Whenever some program processes the macbook, it happensin a mouse with Nanotransceptor interference. The only way to use mice with this feature is by placing the mouse Nanotransceptor side (left side).

    That made me laugh so hard.

    I'm not actually sure on this one. I've had a looksy, and both the airport & bluetooth antenae's on a MBP that would even have USB on the right side, are mounted on the left side.
    I could only suggest that he try plugging in another USB device, and see if it stops working when using the same applications.
    Or, perhaps the USB dongle does not have ESD protection(Wild uneducated guess).
    2 Questions: Is the OP left handed? What model is the MBP?

    Hi all
    Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
    Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
    is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
    I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
    ============================================================================================
    1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
    Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
    Dynamic Parameters in Action
    My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
    When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
    One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
    Please reply soon , it's urgent

    Hi Kishore,
    I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
    expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
    =lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
    As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
    =Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
    Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl  file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address?  It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

  • Why does Server Monitor not work with non-Xserves?

    Does anyone know why Server Monitor does not work with non-Xserve computers? We acquired a Power Mac for a server, based on there being no apparent difference except for the obvious. Turns out there are some differences after all.
    Do Power Macs lack some hardware components or is this just a software thing?

    God question, unfortunitly I dont have the answer but I would also like to know why the software only works for X-Serve....Is there any 3rd Party Software that is similar to "Server Monitor"?
    Thanks

  • I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working. HELP....

    I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.

    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.

  • Problem in SQL with CURSOR( ) ,Why the CURSOR did not work?

    hi All:
    I have a problem in SQL with CURSOR.
    The data is as the attachments.
    Here is the SQL statement as follow:
    SELECT A.WADCTO,A.WADOCO,B.IGCOST,CURSOR (SELECT X.IGLITM
    FROM F3102 X
    WHERE X.IGDOCO=A.WADOCO
    AND X.IGCOST IN ('B1','D1','C3')) AS DETAIL
    FROM F4801 A INNER JOIN F3102 B ON A.WADOCO=B.IGDOCO AND A.WADCTO=B.IGDCTO AND B.IGCOST>' '
    WHERE A.WADOCO='10004'
    The statement above returns records as follow:
    WADC WADOCO IGCOST DETAIL
    WO 10004 A1 CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
    CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
    IGLITM
    1KV90CPG2

    But, after I add one statement in the subquery, there is no record returned from CURSOR.
    Here is the SQL statement:
    SELECT A.WADCTO,A.WADOCO,B.IGCOST,CURSOR (SELECT X.IGLITM
    FROM F3102 X

    The statement above returns records as follow:
    WADC WADOCO IGCOST DETAIL
    WO 10004 A1 CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
    CURSOR STATEMENT : 4
    no rows selected

    Why this structure and not a join?
    The cursor() function returns a cursor handle that needs to be processed - in other words, the client needs to fetch data from it. The Oracle® Database SQL Reference+ (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/expressions005.htm#i1035107) describes it as being equivalent to a ref cursor handle.
    Thus why are you creating ref cursor handles as a column in a SQL projection - where each row will have a "+nested+" ref cursor handle to process. What problem are you attempting to hack solve this way?

  • Why Does Dynamic Link Not Work

    I purchased the CS5 Adobe Production Premium.  I have been working in Premiere and I have been learning about how to use Dynamic Link. I want to be able to alter clips in After Effects and bring them back and forth into Premiere.  When I go to File/ Adobe Dynamic Link/New After Effect Composition, I get this message:
    Adobe Dynamic Link Requires Adobe Production Premium.
    Since I own production premium, I do not know why I am getting this message.  I have reinstalled the CS5 Production Premium Software twice and it still gives me the same message.  What can I do to get Dynamic Link Working.

    Thank you for the tip.  Could you possibly tell me how to deactivate and
    then reactivate the suite.  I am using a Macbook Pro laptop running OS
    10.6.4.  I do not even know where to start.

    Deactivate the software (not uninstall), and then reactivate the suite.
    This often fixes this. You can opt to leave the serial number on the
    system; no need to clear it and re-enter it.
