Apple hardware test..i dont know what this message means..please help!!

hi all..i really need your help. i have been having serious problems with my g4. it has been telling me to restart it while using most of the programs that come with installation. sometimes black lines with wording comes across the screen forcing me to shut it down. now all the programs are quitting one right after the other. i have reinstalled the system. i have no added memory installed...jsut the 256mb standard. tonight i ran an apple hardware test and i got this message. "memory- error detected error code 2mem/3/4:dimmo/built in" what does this mean? do i need more memory and if so where do i get this? thanks so much!

Based on that information the built in RAM has failed. What you have been seeing is a Kernel Panic. Sadly since it is the built in RAM, adding more memory wont help, not that you cannot doing it, but I don't think it will stop the Kernel Panics. Bad RAM causes OSX problems, namely Kernel Panics so until the problem with the built in RAM is dealt with this will continue to take place. Being built in RAM, that means you'll most likely need a new logicboard. You will have to get your machine repaired if you wish to continue using it.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

    i was upgrading my ipad, for atleast 4 hours.. the screen remains itunes.. and i dont know what to do.. please help me

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Help! I was downloading apps and my 4th generation froze, so I turned it off and restarted it twice. And it is just on the screen with the apple i dont know what to do. Please help!

    I was downloading apps that i deleted and my 4th generation froze. So i turned it off and restarted it and nothing happened. It is just showing me the apple screen after you restart it. I dont know what to do please help!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Error Code 4MOT/1/40000003:HDD-1344. I got this code after running hardware testing, does anyone know what this means? Thanks

    Buy a new drive and replace the old one. While the old one is still working (if it is) I would quickly make a bootable backup to an external drive if you have one, assuming you have no extant backup.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    You will find suitable replacement drives at OWC.
    They may also have a video tutorial. Or you may find a written tutorial at ifixit.com. Also may find one by Googling for it.

  • Dont know what this effect is called, help?? how would i do it in FCE?

    hi,
    I need to get two me's in the same shot.
    E.g. i need a video feed of me talking to myself, but in the same shot.
    I could do this with super imposing but am not impressed with the results.
    Is there any other way i could do it, e.g. some way i could tell FCE to place the left half of one video feed together with the right half of another video feed, then merge them??
    Or something that would give a similar effect without a blue/green screen?
    Thanks

    If you tie off the shot, stay on one side for one take, and on the other for the other take, and the light doesn't change, this should be easy to do by placing the shots on top of themselves, and simply cropping the top clip to reveal the bottom.

  • Does anyone know what this message means?

    I use macbook pro mountain lion OSX 10.8.2, Traktor Pro 2, Nicecast, Shoutcast, & Wavestreamer to stream a mix weekly over the internet. I never had any problems before I started the actual "radio show". I would occasionally check to see if I was able to get on air and everything was good until my first broadcast. I couldn't connect. After checking my settings and connections and multiple restarts, I was able to connect and finished my mix. I have had 3 broadcast and 3 failures. The last broadcast I wasn't ever able to restablish any kind of connection. I tried contacting tech support for all of the players involved (2 are in Europe and one is on the East Coast) but it being a weekend couldn't get any help. I found this log in my console and think maybe it can help me however, I don't understand it. Can anyone help?
    12/2/12 10:31:31.462 PM Nicecast: Invalid URL passed to an open/save panel: '(null)'.  Using 'file://localhost/Users/xxxxxxxxxxx/Documents/Native%20Instruments/Traktor%202. 6.0/Stripes/000/' instead.

    This is not strictly a podcasting question, and I'm afraid the technical issues involved are outside my experience. The method you are using involves mostly non-Apple software, so I don't know how much change you have in the Apple Discussions of finding someone who is familiar with them, but probably the best place to ask is the Mountain Lion forum and I will ask the Hosts to move this thread there.

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • HT201257 Holding down "D" no longer starts Apple Hardware Test!  Any idea what's happened and how I fix it?  Or do I need to go to the Genius Bar?  MacBook Pro with Lion Preinstalled.

    I have a MacBook Pro with Lion Preinstalled, so AHT was present on the hard disc and worked when the product was new.  One of the first things I did from new was run AHT and it worked fine.  But now it doesn't start - instead the machine (eventually) boots into normal OS X.
    Holding down "D" no longer starts Apple Hardware Test!  Any idea what's happened and how I fix it?  Or do I need to go to the Genius Bar? 
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b), if it makes any difference.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks.  However, even with an internet connection that doesn't work for me - the machine just (after an extended delay) boots normally.  It doesn't download.
    Option-D works for an Internet-based AHT.  However that only works with an internet connection.  It doesn't seem to download it and install it - it needs internet every time.
    Any idea how my local copy of AHT disappeared?  I haven't repartitioned the drive or knowingly deleted anything.  And how do I reinstate it (because if you need AHT your hardware problems may preclude internet access!)?

  • I restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

    i restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

    I would suggest you try to update your iOS 8.0.2 to the latest iOS 8.1.0 with iTunes on your computer. Don't try to do the update on your iPhone, it takes time and some error always occur. After updating to iOS 8.1.0, if your iPhone can't restart properly, try Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS trial version. It will say that your iPhone is not in normal mode, offering you the option 'restart the device'. Just click the button to let your iPhone restart.

  • Help Dont know what this code is doing ?????

    i dont know what this code is doing from the for part can some one explain it for me
    i am confused starting at the for statement thanks for the help
    public class LeastToGreatestPlaceHolder {
      public static void main(String []args) {
         int [] myArray;
         myArray = new int[3];
         myArray[0] = 6;
         myArray[1] = 7;
         myArray[2] = 9;
        for (int i = 0; i < 2 ; i++){     // confused here
         for(int j = 1; j < 3; j++) {
           int placeholder = myArray[j];
           if (myArray[i] > myArray[j]) {
             myArray[j] = myArray;
    myArray[i] = placeholder;
    System.out.print(myArray[0]);
    System.out.print(myArray[1]);
    System.out.print(myArray[2]);

    Have you tried running the program and seeing what it outputs?
    Have you considered writing out the state of the array and running through the code by hand?
    I'll give you a [head start|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/for.html].

    In some cases if you have done a lot of burning you will need to empty the cache files before you can burn successfully. I have had to do this after I burned 4 or 5 movies and then I was good to go again.
    I use 3 programs.

    If I am doing a lot of burning I run these 3 once a week need to or not just to keep the trash all cleaned out of my system.
