Anyone have a solution to the constant start up issues with a late 2009 I mac

Constant boot issues with a late 2009 I-mac seems like every single time I move, turn off, or look funny at this thing it comes up with a start up disk issue. I am getting extremely tired of this time waster.
My 10 year old G5 is still my go to machine for critical projects as I am never sure if I can rely on the newer model. I am an audio editor for broadcast/as well as an audio engineer in the music studio world.
I purchased the new mac because the last logic pro update would not run on my old machine.(nice marketing apple).
If anyone has had the same issue and possibly come up with a solution your knowledge and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance
Troy

Do you have AppleCare? Sounds like it's time to get step-by-step help.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 - Anyone have a solution for the 8600 freezing up?

I bought this All-In-One for xmass and the initial install went fine. I've attached it to my wireless network for use by all the PC's/Laptops in my house. After a couple of weeks, I noticed that the printer connection was lost, and when I tried to scroll through the printer menu, I discovered it was frozen or locked. I could not even get it to turn off with the power button. The only way to regain access was to unplug the printer. Once it's back up, it seems to work for no more than 15-20 minutes, and then locks up again. I thought it was a faulty machine so I returned it to store for a replacement. The second printer acted the exact same way. It worked fine for a couple of weeks and then began freezing up again. I'm going to return this one and just get my money back if I can't get this resolved.
I did see another posting about this, but the resolution did not work (re-install software on PC and return printer to factory settings).
Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

I'm on my second 8600 within 2 weeks - tonight I stumbled upon a *possible* glitch that may have caused both printers to freeze. I did not have my wireless connection set up but I did have the wireless enabled on the printer - the blue wireless indicator light on the console was flashing. This printer repeatedly froze, requiring the power cord to be disconnected/reconnected to reboot the printer. At some point I disabled the wireless, using the console menu and the machine no longer froze. WHAT??? When I restarted the wireless and completed the setup, the blue indicator light went solid and...so far no freezes. I can access the printer via wireless connection and a USB connection on a different computer. IMO, this should not happen. I'm thinking if my router goes down, it will cause a wireless connection failure and the printer will freeze - again. I will test this theory when I feel up to it - but, the frustration of the past couple hours has me very disinterested in screwing with it now - it continues to work so I think I'll go fishing....

Anyone have any information about iphone 6 and 6 issues with receiving Unknown caller IDs from pbx systems?

We are seeing any issue with iphone 6 and 6+ phones receiving "Unknown" on the caller id when they receive a call from a PBX system. All other versions of iphones are not having this issue. I have read several forums and it seems to be a carrier issue with the new LTE towers. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

yes its a new issue for me too. Are you a ATT customer? My brother has iphone 6 but with another carrier and has no problems..

Does anyone have a solution for the unstability on ios6

Hi, i have recently downloaded and installed the latest software, ios6.
I really like the updated theme (i.e. I like the music player screen and the app store layout) However, i am sorely disappointed with the performance. The software is very unstable. Apps and games constantly crash. It isn't certain applications though, all the applications installed on my ipod constantly crash. App store is virtually impossible to use also as it crashes literally after every few seconds of use. It is also very slow. I was wondering if anybody knows of a solution or if there is a coming update to resolve the problem"s".

Hi,
Some of what you are describing is commun to a lot of user, some other not.
For specific third party apps crashing, I guess you will have to wait until an update for iOS6 from the developpers. As for the App Store crashing, some research in forums that this is to be spreaded to many users. For this one, no options seems to efficienly handle the issue and therefore, we will have to wait until an Apple update.
The fact that all your apps are crashing and that you got slow performances seems to be a more specific issue. I think that performing a restore on your iPod should worth your time. I personally got a few crashing apps as well as the AppStore but other than this, performaces are quite as with iOS5.

Anyone have a solution for the ubiquitous problem of the printer not recognizing a new HP cartridge?

I have seen other posts about the HP printers not recognizing that a new HP cartridge has been put in. At the price of the cartridges, this is a most irritating problem, and apparently a weak spot with the HP printers. Mine is not heavily used at all and this is the 2nd time it would not recognize. Thanks.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

Does anyone have a solution for the I phone 4 acting as though it is sideways under most applications? Is there a simple solution?

My daughters I phone 4 acts as though it is sideways when being used for the camera, messaging, and music, Shutting the phone off seemed to fix it the first time, but it has acted up again and that remedy no longer works. Am I missing something in the settings ? Is there a simple solution ? Thanks

Anyone have a solution for the problems with Maverick iMovie?

I made the upgrade to Maverick and expected to have a bit of a learning curve but not a total revamp of basic stuff. I have a LOT of video files and when iMovie made the conversion, my files were so jumbled I couldn't make heads or tails of where things were. In the previous iMovie version I had all of my files nice and neat in folders, dated, labeled so I could discern what was what without too much trouble. Not so once the conversion was complete. I was so glad to find that my old version of iMovie was still on my computer as well and delighted that my files were intact and I could easily find them. Here's hoping that Apple is on the ball and will soon have the new imovie working like we have come to expect Apple products to work.
In the meantime, any pointers would be appreciated.

Does anyone have a solution to HDV 720p25 files not working with Lion?

I cant play or edit 720p25 HDV files with Lion, does anyone know how to fix this bug?

i've been having the exact same problems myself since Lion was released. I've been having to work with .m2t files and then converting them with MPEG StreamClip to Apple ProRes 422 native quicktime files in order to even use the stupid HDD. All of my existing .MOV files that were on the HDD prior to upgrade are now all "corrupt". Spoke with Apple reps and Focus reps and both of course are pointing fingers at each other.
Also, found that .m2t files aren't as high quality as shooting with .mov files on the DR-HD100... interesting huh? I mean i'm not in too much of a pickle due to the fact that the HDD is still useable it's just more time and steps before getting to edit in FCP now which is annoying considering the fact that I shelled out a lot of money for this HDD to be able to edit immediately...
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
I know it's Apple's fault because when i shoot in .mov files on the DR-HD100 and bring them in on my mac mini which is still OS X Snow Leopard, they work just fine... so it's definitely a Lion issue...
Also, found out that once the files have been dragged onto a HDD operating within OS X Lion, they become corrupt FOREVER and you can't reverse the process! They remain fine on the DR-HD100 but if you drag them onto a OS X Lion machine, then decide to transfer them to a OS X Snow Leopard device via USB, Network, or whatever, it won't matter because they have already been corrupted by Lion!

My display has quit working. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I have had my Verizon Jetpack MiFi 5510L for a couple of months now. It has worked fine until a few days ago the display on it started looking strange and now has finally gone blank. Does anyone have a solution for the problem?

You can do both, whatever is more convenient to you. As long as VZW gets its hands on the old device you will be good to go. Replacements under the warranrty require the user to turn in the old device to VZW. If your old device is not returned then you will be charged a fee for an entirely new device. Purchasing a tracking number for a shipment of this kind would be a good idea if you choose to send it in. Otherwise dropping it off at a store is the safest route you can take.
I would suggest contacting VZW phone support on this one and running through your options. The VZW phone rep can coordinate a delivery to your local VZW store if they do not already have one in stock. You can also turn in the old device in person to rule out any non-returned device fees.

Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

Fire fox crashes and freezes if i use it too much (kind of a good thing). For example if i use stumble fire fox will start to slow down then freeze completely. I am using windows XP pro and a pretty decent computer. All software is up to date and i do no have a virus. I have even tried to disable my add-ons and plug-ins but it did not make a difference. Does anyone have a solution or should i just switch to chrome?

Please provide a crash id -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report
Do the issues still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
