Apple Noise, Power, No image

I have a 700MHz iBook G3 that will not boot. When you press the power button, the Apple noise chimes, the hard drive spins up and the CD-ROM drive makes a noise, but nothing appears on the screen. I have already replaced the entire display assembly with a new one, and I have also tried connecting an external display. The num lock light on the keyboard will light when pressed, but the power button does not light up. The laptop just sits there. I have tried resetting the PRAM and the PMU. Is there anything else I can try, or does this sound like a logic board problem?

Hi, Gregory. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It could be the logic board, all right.
Check out the Apple Knowledge Base article on troubleshooting portables that won't turn on or start up. Maybe something there will help.

How would an Apple fan keep unwanted images out of Photostream in IOS 8?

So Apple decides that people don't need an uncluttered thumbnail view of all photos stored in their iPhone in IOS 8. And the UI geniuses also decide that the concept of cloud (aka "server side" in 90's terms) storage and local storage is just too much for the average iPhone user to grasp.
The UI design choices that sprung from this mindset have reduced usability, efficiency, but more importantly the family friendly reputation that Apple trades on in nearly all of their marketing material.
Finding images (particularly when you have thousands) in the Years/Collections/Moments(Maps too!) paradigm is ridiculously inefficient compared to a scrolling screen with rows upon rows of thumbnails touching each other in chronological order. Of course we can quibble about whether the chronology should be based on file creation dates or EXIF metadata but those are decisions that we don't get in the IOS world (yes, another complaint). My main point here is that they had no reason to get rid of Camera Roll. Why can't it exist alongside the YCMM world of dates/locations and useless search tools? Let's face it, the new Recently Added Album is just a silly smart folder as are all the other albums. Why can't I change the 30 day date range to one of my choosing? Or why can't I add what Apple would call a Smart Album into my Albums just as I can add Cro-Mag dumb albums that need constant updating? This would bring back that good old Camera Roll functionality so people not confused by cloud vs local and like to keep track of their original image files could be happy. And the people that need Simple would be happy too.
But back to my original query. I use my iPhone for many purposes including work. I also take iPhone screenshots for work. I also take a lot of pictures and not all of those images should be in my family and sharing oriented personal Photostream. After all Apple, you sold me an Apple TV which I can fire up and share my recent life experiences with others. Why the heck would I want product photography, conference room whiteboard pics, iPhone wallpaper, and all the different images that are not the "selects" but that I want to archive using Lightroom or iPhoto anyway showing up IN MY FAMILY SLIDESHOWS? One of the benefits of digital imaging is the cheap cost of creating and storing many images. I use my iPhone often as I would a DSLR and I frequently shoot many images that are very similar, sometimes using burst mode in the phone. Why would you force me to completely delete images that are not "favorites/selects" just so I can maintain a decent slideshow via Photostream? Why do you not want me to have pleasing wallpaper downloaded via the sundry App Store wallpaper apps? Any new wallpaper I add will now be in the Photostream. Yes, family dinner with the Apple TV slideshow showing images of cars, puppies, clouds, and abstract patterns interspersed with the trip to the pool last weekend sure makes for some great viewing!
This is because you also killed the Photostream album view and I can no longer delete unwanted Photostream images unless I also want to completely delete the image local to the iPhone. If you go to the YCMM (Years/Collections/Moments/Maps) Photo tab there is no way to treat the local image separately from the cloud based Photostream image. This is absurd. You can't pitch Photostream as a lifestyle feature since you now prevent editing and curating this very audience specific collection of images. It's as if you forgot that a huge number of iPhone users are creative professionals! And we use our iPhones for professional purposes as well as personal.
Not to mention that this design choice HUGELY increases the probability of "inappropriate" photos being uploaded to the cloud and lost control over through hacking or just user misunderstanding of how iCloud and Photostream works. Amazing that Apple would do this considering the recent scandal.
So now I'll answer my own original question with a lame "workaround" answer. And yes, it involves a lot more work as opposed to the couple of touches that I used frequently in IOS 7 and earlier to curate my Photostream right on my iPhone: You have to have another IOS device (pre IOS 8) and delete the images from Photostream from there. Or use iPhoto to do the same. So add yet another task to your Reminders app that is now much more of a hassle.
Apple, for the love of Pete, please don't take away control over my source image files and my ability to create collections of images for different purposes.
Thanks.

Excellently well put and accurate. The answer of course is that Apple want us to rent vast lumps of storage from them. Your point about appropriate images is well made. It's not just **** either but maybe legitimate images that you don't want shared out in the world, such as your wife and daughters caught on camera whilst sunbathing topless in the security of a private villa on holiday. That could prove embarrassing to them if they found their way out into the public domain, easily done by accident from a phone. The fact is that Apple have decided for pure commercial gain to take control of our means of controlling and storing our images. I shoot mainly portraits of my extended family and Landscapes. I don't want to share my images across mobiles etc, I want to sell them or give them to family members myself . Apple you are losing the plot here and alienating your core supporters.

Apple's power adapter replacement program - U.S. only

Hello,
I have a macbook air.
Its power adapter has a L-shape, but I have the same problem because of strain relief.
I found that Apple's power adapter replacement program page on web, About Apple's Power Adapter Replacement Program -- U.S. only.
I think that the T-shape photo on web is just an example showing what strain relief.
When I visit the apple retail store and ask the program, they answered me that program is only available for T-shape power adapter.
is it correct? do I need to buy additional power adapter for my air?
Thank you,

Yes, that is correct.

Apple TV as an image server ?

Hello, can I use the hard drive of the Apple TV as an image or video server for a waiting room TV ? I guess I could charge the content (i.e. Pictures, .mov) at home on the hard drive, and then stream it on the TV. Is this possible even if I am not connected to Internet or to a WiFi network ?

if you sync the video or photo content to the appletv at home (via itunes), and then unplug it and take it you wherever then it will certainly do that task.
once the content is synced you do not need it to be on a network.

Apple FireWire Power Adapter and iPod Classic

I just looked through the user guide, and it doesn't mention anything positive or negative about using the Apple FireWire Power Adapter that came with my 3G iPod. Any chance I'm going to fry my new iPod if I try charging it with the Firewire Power Adapter?
Thanks,
Steve

No, you will not fry your new iPod.

Can Shuffle play while charging on Apple USB Power Adapter?

Hi,
We would like to purchase a shuffle (2nd gen) to play continuously music on hold to our company's telephone system. The Phone system's audio-in jack is compatible. I've connected my 1st Gen iPod shuffle to the phone system, and it plays fine.
We will not be able to plug the shuffle into a computer, so we will need to plug it into the Apple USB Power Adapter.
Is anyone doing this? Does it work? Any problems?
Thanks,
David

Equivalent solution: Apple Universal Dock + Griffin DOck Adapter for 2nd Gen Shuffle + USB Power adapter
Just need to remeber to set the switch in either charge or play position...

How I can change my apple purchase power through visa c.c to non ?

If you're asking how to have an Apple ID without a credit card for purchasing fee apps and media, you have to create a new ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534. Be sure to follow this guide exactly. Note that you have to start by download and installing a free app before creating the ID. Once you have the new ID, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the existing ID, sign out, then sign in with your new ID.

Do I have to have an apple USB power adapter to charge the ipod or can i use one for a htc phone?

Must I have an Apple USB power adaptor to charge an ipod or can I use the power adaptor from my htc cell phone?

Read the cell phone user manual to see if the charger can charge an iPod Nano.
FYI the usb power charger (AC) does not have to come from Apple. I purchased mine from Macmall.com

Can I charge an iPod Classic 3G with the Apple USB power adapter?

I have just buy an iPod Classic 3G with 15 GB (SN JQ4239GQQQF) from ebay.
I have read that it's posible to sync it with my PC with Windows 7, but, It is not possible
to charge it by usb.
I could charge it with the Apple USB power adapter?
Thanks

With that particular model, only the Firewire cable and connection will provide power to the device. The USB cable is only for syncing.
Using the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire and USB 2.0 Cable
Here is the cable you'll need.

And the wall adapter as well.

Old Apple USB Power Adapter with new nano

Hi. I have an older Apple USB Power Adapter (model A1102) that I've been using with an Ipod Mini (bought it with the mini a long time ago). I have a new 3G nano on order. Will this power adapter work with the new nano? Or will I be forced to buy a new one?
Output from the adapter is 5V - 1.0A
Thanks

Since I also converted from a Mini to a 3G Nano, I thought I'd give you a couple of pointers; I probably spent a couple of days preparing my existing mp3 library (and that says nothing about videos).
1) Make sure all of your mp3's are NOT marked read-only and load everything you want into the NEW iTunes
2) Work on collecting/saving the NEW things like album covert art and lyrics (I sometimes use the lyrics area to list musicians/personnel)
3) Re-construct your playlists and SAVE everything (iTunes actually writes back to the mp3 files--that's why you don't want them read-only)
4) Only then start messing with videos, because they tend to crash iTunes depending on your hardware, OS, etc. (for example, iTunes doesn't work well with Vista). My best advice for videos is use a 3rd party converter (like Nero Recode) to ensure iPod format compatibility; don't even waste your time with iTunes for anything that isn't a downloaded/purchased item.

Apple USB power Charger

Hi all,
Is the Apple USB power Charger only compatible with USA wall plugs? Does it come with a thing to plug it into UK wall plugs? Would I need to buy anything seperately?

It is a universal power supply
it does not come with the UK adapter (which you can buy in most electronics stores)
there is a travel kit, but if you only need the UK adapter, that would be a bit of overkill (IMHO)

Apple AC Power Plug

I have an Apple AC power adaptor to USB which works on both US and European current. I recently bought a Palm Z22 organizer which came with a US only AC power adaptor. Can I use the Apple power plug with the Z22 in Europe. The Apple power plug output is labeled '5v 1 amp' and the Z22 power adaptor output is labeled '5.2v 500 Ma' Since both devices charge from the same computer's USB port I would think that the Apple adaptor would work with the Palm device without any damage.
Thanks in Advance

Ya the issue with cheaper no name USB chargers is they may have a bare bones cheap voltage regulator in them (or worse nothing more than Diode dropping means of getting to 5V) and therefore may not regulate well giving large voltage spikes.
Name brand ones, especially Apple's version and ones from large known companies like Griffin, Palm, Belkin, etc. can usually be trusted to be safe for your devices.
Sometimes it is well worth the money to get the $19.95 brand name one over the $4.95 eBay version for this reason.
