Apple XServe G5 Won't Start Up

Hi,
My apple Xserve G5 has stopped turning on after I shut it down. When turned ut back on I pressed the power button all of the fans spin up and the System Indicatior light turns Solid Amber/Orange and does not flash. I tried leaving it on for a long period of time to see if it would start up on its own but the fans became progressivly faster and faster until I turned it off. I have tried what apple says to do and hold the indicator light when turning on the then releasing it when the processor lights start flashing. Other than turning on and off it is completely unresoponsive. Any Ideas?

Thanks... I found that the power supply on neither my G5 or G4 would start up from cold? I just leave them plugged in to keep the psu warm now.
Thanks,
ben

  • Some non-Apple applications suddenly won't start.

    I have a user who, after an update install for MS Office 2004, now has a number of non-Apple applications that won't start. I did some poking around, and found the following in the console log:

    I've done disk permission repairs, as well as cleared the cache. The problem persists in other logins. The apps don't quit abnormally, they simply bounce once in the dock, then go away.

    Lion --
    Check that user's Application folder.
    Do they have another Office on there?
    Either an older version, or the Office Test Drive?

  • After update, Apple TV just shows the Apple Logo, but won't start. up.

    I updated my Apple TV 2 today with the new update, it downloaded everything and then installed it. Now it is showing the startup screen (the silver Apple logo) but won't go past that. I tried unplugging it, I tried holding the plat and menu button together to reset it, it still just pops up with the logo and never starts up. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

  • ITunes 9.2 Apple Mobile Device won't start.

    a few days ago i updated my itunes to the latest version (9.2) but since then its impossible to sync my iPod touch 2g. every time i start itunes and connect the ipod to the pc, a message pops up saying that Apple Mobile Device hasn't started.
    i searched in forums for a solution, i tried starting it manually but then a message pops up saying that it started but then stopped again because some services close immediately when they have nothing to do.
    i tried reinstalling everything.. didn't work, i tried repairing AMD from control panel also, same problem. always that message that it hasn't started and in services it says that it closed again.
    i don't know what to do... please help me!

    I am experiencing exactly the same issue too. Vista-64 bit O/S. Uninstalled-reinstalled iTunes 9.2 numerous times. Still getting the same error in the event logs:
    Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleSyncMapiInterfaceHelper_x64.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e 3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.4053" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
    Another error that seems to be related is:
    Faulting application AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, version 17.58.0.21, time stamp 0x4c0ed767, faulting module RPCRT4.dll, version 6.0.6002.18024, time stamp 0x49f05beb, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00017a46, process id 0x184c, application start time 0x01cb2ae2765b428f.
    As a result "Apple Mobile Device" can't start and I can't connect the iPad.

  • Apple Mac G4 won't start

    Hi,
    3 days ago my Apple Mac G4 switched off without reason. I restarted it and got a warning that the date was wrong and it may affect programmes but before I had chance to do anything else, it switched off again. I haven't been able to switch it on since. The power light flashes on each time I press it (plus the screen light works too) but the computer doesn't start. Occasionally it makes some promising noises like it's about to start but then it cuts out again.
    I have read the community and tried resetting PMU (turn power off, open side, remove battery etc) but it hasn't had an effect.
    Any other recommendations? Please note that you are dealing with a complete novice here when it comes to troubleshooting computers!
    James

    My computer was working again yesterday. I pressed the power button and instead of silence I heard the drive running and then the Apple screen came on and, hey presto, it had started. There was a message about resetting the time and date (it was something like 1990) and also for some reason the screen was zoomed in 200%. I was on it for a few hours (in which time I quickly backed up all important files). Today I tried again and it switched on first time. I was on it for another two hours but suddenly without warning it switched off and once again I can't start it up. Each time I press the power switch it lights up but there is no sound from the drive.
    I don't think overheating is the solution as it won't switch on even if I've left it unplugged overnight.
    One piece of information that I didn't tell you is that I didn't use my Mac for several months prior to these problems. Several months ago it worked absolutely fine, then I went away for a few months and first time I used my Mac it cut off and then I couldn't boot up for a few days.

  • HT1923 Apple Mobile Support won't start

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times.  Each time I reinstall/download I get an Apple Mobile Support not starting error.  It tells me to uninstall and reinstall.  What now?

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
    If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

  • Start up screen is gray with apple sign and won't start up all the way

    My girlfriends 13" macbook was running fine and then the internet browsers went down and she had to force quit everything. But when we went to go start it back up it went to the grey screen and just had the spinning wheel and didn't go any further. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know asap.

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.

  • Apple Hardware Test won't start from original Apple DVD

    I'll make this one short and to the point, and here're what I did to try to start the Apple Hardware Test - and failed:
    1) Disconnected all connected network and hardware except the bare essentials (Apple USB keyboard and mouse).
    2) Insert DVD#1 of the original iMac media (then OS X v10.5.2)
    3) Shut off iMac. Start, holding 'D' key (with the iMac DVD#1 in the drive)
    4) Keep holding 'D' key, AHT didn't start, instead the DVD disc ejects, and the grey screen shows folder with question mark, nothing happens thereafter.
    5) Repeated 10x, no difference.
    Somebody knows what's wrong?

    Holding down C key does start the Mac OS X installer; in which I was able to "partially" diagnose that my HDD is toast by using the Disk Utility. It formats (erases), but as soon as I finished erasing, I tried to verify the disk, and it says it already has problems and cannot be repaired.
    I am thinking if during the loading of AHT (from DVD), it tries to cache some files onto the internal hard drive. Since my drive is no good - thus the reason for my using AHT, which is to find out if I get a 4HDD/11 type error - the AHT simply cannot load under my circumstances.

  • Apple Hardware test won't start

    Hi,
    I have tried pressing 'D' on startup, as well as command+D and command +R on startup and nothing works.
    This is a macbook late 2008 model running mountain lion.
    Appreciate your time in helping me solve this.

    When you get your computer, Apple Hardware Test is stored on the hard disk, but it's deleted when you erase the hard disk or upgrade OS X, so it's no longer in the hard disk.
    The DVDs which came with your computer have Apple Hardware Test, so insert the Mac OS X DVD and hold the D key while your computer is starting to start in Apple Hardware Test. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509

    You might have better luck posting on the Mabook Pro discussion forum, as this is the OS X Xserve server forum.
    Have you tried booting it from a DVD? If so and you find the same result, then its probably a hardware issue.

  • When I try starting my iPod touch, it won't start; the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds, and then, it just shuts off. I tried to charge it through an outlet; the iPod didn't even charge, so I tried to restore my settings on my computer. iTunes won't

    when i try starting my IPod  it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't

    But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

  • Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
    When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
    I hope this helps you my friend!

    just got the new 5s and was retrieving my icloud back up, it then reset automatically and now it isn't turning back on.   Been staring at the apple logo for an hour and the bar has barely moved at all.   Looks like it is frozen.   Any suggestions?  How long should it take to retreive the icloud back up?

    If it won't start by conventional means and the battery is charged take it back.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
