Apple Care - Just WARNED me NOT to install 10.4.10 if.....

I had any 3rd pty. USB devices. This is outrageous. Who uses a Mac without at least ONE 3rd Pty. USB Device....
Anyway... The warning came too late. Now I cannot even reinstall from my original DVD... After the installer has booted the internal HD has a red triangle attached to it and this message appears:
"OS X Cannot be installed on this volume as OS X cannot boot from this volume" I thought it was because of the present system installed so I initialized the drive with ZERO as option.... Still the same....
I've rebooted several times and run Hardware Test.... NO CHANGE - I cannot cant even install the OS X Original to an external Firewire drive...
Thanks Apple Care for that warning.... Would have been nice if you had included it in the installer as a head line or wrote about it here at this forum.
I will send you a bill for my lost time...

Did you format your drive with the correct partition scheme? For your G5, that would be "Applepartitionscheme"

  • Apple Care registration page does not support Safari 3 for Leopard

    I bought the apple care for my imac and was surprised to find Apple does not support their own browser for the online registration. I had to use firefox instead
    Visit
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/register/
    on your leopard mac and click continue.
    I then got.
    For the best experience, please use a supported web browser.
    Mac:
    - Safari 2.x
    - Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2 or later
    - Firefox 1.0 or later.
    Windows:
    - Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
    - Firefox 1.0 or later.

    When you see this path:   /Library   That is your root Library.
    Open a Finder window.
    Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left then open the LIbrary folder then the Application Support folder, then InputManagers folder, the Receipts folder.
    For this path:  ~/Library/Application Support  (your Home library)
    The Tilde character ~ represents your Home folder.
    From that same Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar. It has a small house icon. Open the Library folder then the Application Support folder.
    Move all the Conduit/CT associated files you posted above to the Trash.
    Try Safari.
    I've yet to find the launchAgents.plist file in any Safari crash report in years. I don't think that's a problem.
    Another way to find files on your hard drive is to go to your Finder.
    From the menu bar at the top of your screen click Go / Go to Folder.
    Example. Type in:  /Library/ApplicationSupport   click Go
    Or type in:  ~/Library/Application Support   click Go

  • Apple care to get are not?

    i would like to know if apple care is worth getting for both my iphones? . any feed back would be nice thank you.

    Apple Care is included in Apples limited waranty for the iPhone for 1 year. You can purchase Apple Care and extend the coverage for an additional year making it 2 years. Personally, I will be making my decision whether to get the additional coverage when the end of the first year approaches.
    Purchasing it before then doesn't make sense to me.

  • Apple logo just blinks will not do anything else.

    ipod just blinks apple logo will not do anything else

    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.

    Actually my iTunes just started!!!!
    So if anyone else is having this problem, the last thing I tried was copying the QTMovieWin.dll from my C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder to my C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes folder and started my iTunes Helper.exe
    Hope that can help someone!

  • Netflixs no longer streams instantly on firefox even with silver app updates.  Netflix said to call Apple Care that it is an Apple problem.  What to do since I am not going to pay Apple for the solution

    Recently Netflixs stopped instantly streaming their videos on Firefox even after installing silver----- update.  When I called Netflix, they said it was the Firefox browser and not them and told me to call apple care.  I do not have apple care coverage and want to know if I can solve this proble or is it Apple that is refusing to comply by making the browser incompatible with netflix software.  I can get Netflix on my Roku.

    Hope the following helps.  The secret seems to be to NOT download Silverlight from Netflix site.
    MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
    I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
    This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
    1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
    3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
        [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
    4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
    5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
    6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
    7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
    8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

  • Can't sync iPhone... Apple Mobile Device support does not install

    Hello @all,
    I've got a big problem.
    I've installed the 8.1 Update of Itunes and Apple Mobile Device Service would not be installed. After registering modules the setup reverses all actions.
    Now I can start Itunes but my IPhone can't sync. Theres a German Message like: "This IPhone can not be used because it needs software wich is not installed. Please start the ITunes Setup to uninstall Itunes and reinstall the ITunes 64-Bit Version."
    I've uninstalled all Apple components on the PC, cleaned up the registry... but it doesn't work. An older version of Itunes doesn't work too. What can I do? Please help me.
    My system is Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit

    You either are not installing it from an Administrator account or you have Vista configured to prevent installation of privileged services. AppleMobileDeviceService must run in a privileged mode.

    Hello DM06851,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step. 
    You can find the full article here:

  • Transfer of apple care

    I just bought an iphone 3gs 16gb from a friend. He has bought the apple care from AT&T for the iphone before selling the iphone to me. The apple care is up to October, 2011.
    I have asked apple how to transfer the apple care under my name. Apple said that it will need the receipt for apple care from my friend. However, he cannot find the original apple receipt either.
    What will be the solution in this case?
    Please let me know. Thanks.

    The warranty and Apple care follow the iphone not the person.
    You should have to do nothing. If the iphone is covered by Applecare, then it is covered, no matter who owns it.

    Why are you trying to download iTunes to a CD?  iTunes is a program that you need to install on your computer.

    Are you installing the 64-bit version or the 32-bit version?  I personally have never had a problem installing iTunes on my Win7 64bit system.

  • Please help me! - My Apple Care ran out and my macbook won't turn on

    Hi!
    My macbook refuses to turn on. It started with the fans not functioning properly, and then the display kept on turning black. Now it won't turn on at all. Every time I press the power button it boots up, and I can hear the fan and the corner light goes up but it shuts down after a few seconds. I took the battery out but that did not work. My Apple Care just ran out so I would rather not take it to the Genius Bar.
    Thanks!

    Mariposalatina,
    Normally you can get your files back if you take it to a good enough technician to know how to not touch the files to repair such a situation.  If the machine is over 4 years old, the most common reason for the above symptom is a dead PRAM battery or capacitor. 
    Maybetomorrow,
    At very minimum call around to find out if there is a technician in your area who will fix that battery or capacitor without touching your data, or at least will extract the hard drive so you can put it in an external hard drive case and attach to a newer computer.

  • Apple Care on a gifted Cinema Display

    What the subject says, i got a 30inch Cinema Display for Christmas last year from my boss.
    So I'm doubting of getting Apple Care for this display, but i don't have any receipt or something like
    that, would that be any problem with taking the Apple Care and using the Apple Care. I can not find anything in the disclaimer of Apple Care about this. Many thanks in advanced.

    Go here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    and type in the serial number of the display (bottom of the stand).
    the page should tell you the expiration date on your original 1 year warranty. if you still have it, get applecare:)
    hope that helps

  • I want to sell one of the iPhones that I've purchased and I wanted to know if I sold it, would it void the apple care that I purchased for it?

    I want to sell one of the iPhones that I've purchased and wanted to know if AppleCare would still cover it, of I were to sell it to someone else!

    Apple Care follows the device, not the person that purchased it. As long as the device is registered under the Apple Care, then it stays with the device. The person purchasing the device would get the advantage of Apple Care.

  • Apple care with MBP and iphone

    Hi I already have apple care with my mac book pro and wondering if i can add my iphone to it, or do i have to buy more apple care just for the phone ?

    No you cannot add a product to an existing Applecare.
    Applecare covers the product that you purchased.
    You would have to buy Applecare for the iphone
