I got this computer from a friend and it just will not start it gets to the start up screen and gets about half way and stops I tried everything I could read but no help

You need to be posting in the iMac G3 forums. This is the new iMac Intel Core Duo forums and some folks here have never seen a
G3 or OS9!
I think the G3 folks can assist you better. The forum is here;

I downloaded an app updated and my iphone crashed now i cant get it to start can someone help me?

today i installed and upgrade to facebook app, later after that my phone started to act weird and then crashed, tried to restart it several times but it just froze over the apple logo, is there a way to solve this? i cant get itunes to recognize it

Before you restore, try this!!!
I just managed to fix mine without restoring. I thought I was going to have to, after several attempts to sync to itunes told me that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. But I didnt want to lose my recent data. As a last resort, I plugged it in and opened iPhone Explorer to see if it would recognize it and maybe let me back up my files manually. It ended up fixing it just by being open! Everything is working fine now, the Facebook app is gone (won't touch it until a new update comes out and others have tested it first) and I'm backing everything up. So download iPhone Explorer and try this before restoring Hope this helps.

Cant get past the starting mac os x screen

hey im posting for my brother.. he has a macbook and now when he turns it on he cant get past the blue "starting the mac os x" screen its just stuck there.. HELP ?!?

Start up from the disk that came with the computer (or an upgrade disk). (Insert the disk, hold down the “C” key-it takes awhile so be patient. If it starts up to the install screen, click continue in the window that first appears. Then select “utilities” in the finder menu and select "disk utility”. Your HD should show up in the sidebar window. Highlight it and click the "repair disk” button. Come back with your results.

HELP cant get past the start up screen

Hi all!
Today my computer was running super slow so I was forced to restart it by holding down the power button, however, when it began to start back up it never made it past the start up screen. Ive tried multiple things to try and get it to start up again, resetting it, keeping it plugged in in case maybe the battery was dead, and it wont even let me start it in safe mode. The light on the bottom right corner that I think normally lights up isn't lighting up now either, I dont know if I need a new battery or if the computer needs to be sent in to be repaired, or whats going on. Does any one have any suggestion about what I should do?? I'm sure there are multiple things im not trying because I'm unaware of them, so if any one has ANY suggestions that would help! thanks!

If it is not seeing the WiFi network and will not connect you can try restarting that one iPad and then try again. If it still will not cooperate, activate it using iTunes on a computer and then troubleshoot the network connection after the device is up and running.

Pinterest was taking up 13 GB on my phone. I deleted it, it ran out of battery and when i plugged it back in- i cant get it to start off of the apple logo screen. Help!!

My phone had been telling me i did not have enough storage- and i finally found out that pintrest was taking up 13 GB! When i found out, i deleted it. Soon my phone ran out of battery, and it was a while before i could plug it back in. Once i could plug it in it stayed on the Apple logo- and will not start. I can hold the power and start button and it will go black, but thats it. I have plugged it in but itunes wants me to restore it- we just got back from vacation and all our photos are on my phone!! I dont want to lose them!! GRRR PLEASE HELP!!!

Here's how to perform the restore:

If you can actually get to restore, maybe (I estimate a 0.01% chance) you'll be able to do a backup before the restore. Actually, from the symptoms you describe, I suspect a restore won't work either and you'll need to do a recovery.
Just in case, if you need to recover (restore fails), here's how. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once.

[solved] cant get x to start

Hi, my x server wont start.
I have just had a massive period with no internet access, and finally got round to running pacman -Syu on my machine after nearly 12 months with no updates.
Needless to say, it didnt like it. I am now stuck with a broken x, and having read through lots of different issues with similiar'ish problems I am very confused.
my machine is a 32bit processor (pentium4) with a nvidia geforce 6200 card and is fully up to date as of 18/12/2011.
System boots up to cli terminal with no errors, then startx command fails, errors being
sh: /usr/bin/xkbcomp: No such file or directory
(EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0)
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.
Fatal server error:
Failed to activate core devices.
thinking it might be my 32bit machine?? as this seems to be a common issue? but the error complains about a missing file which I thought was handled by xorg.conf?????
help! and thanks in advance

sorry found the solution https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=54015&p=2
For anyone who's recent updates may have caused similar issues, updating last night somehow removed my /usr/bin/xkbcomp file, reinstalling xorg-xkbcomp fixed this issue.

Firefox crashes on start....cant get it to start in safe mode

i've done complete removal and re-install, nothing works...same message every time i do a re-install.
Crash ID: bp-f7fdcaa8-7463-41af-bb67-536ca2150417

Crash ID: bp-9653514f-9a1b-4014-8e91-1adb92150417
these all occurred today.

Sorry, I forgot to mention holding down the Shift key when launching Firefox to try to start up in Safe Mode.
''If that isn't possible'' you can try pushing this change into Firefox by adding a line to the prefs.js file.
To access that file, you'll first need to open your profile folder.
In the address bar of a Windows Explorer window, or in the search box on the Start menu, or in the Run dialog, type or paste the following and press Enter:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Usually there's just one folder here, so double-click into that. If there are multiple folders, double-click into the most recently used one.
Next, look for a file named '''prefs.js''' (if you see a file named prefs with a type of JScript, that's the one -- you can stop Windows from hiding the .js extension by following the steps in this article: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions]).
You can edit prefs.js by right-clicking the file and choosing Edit, or Open in Notepad or a text editor of your choice. (It would be best to avoid using a word processor that might modify the plain-text nature of the file.) Paste the following line on its own line at the end and save your change:
<code>user_pref("layers.d3d11.disable-warp", true);</code>
That should be in effect the next time you start Firefox.
Any difference?

I CANT GET THIS THING STARTED

I THOGHT MY IPOD WS FULLY CHARGED IT STAYED GREEN FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN WENT BLANK.I WAITED 4 HRS FOR THE SONGS I PURCHASED OFF OF ITUNES TO DOWNLOAD. WHEN I TURNED ON THE IPOD I HEAR NOTHING

Are you using iTunes 7.02?
Did you go through the setup procedures?
You do have a 2G Shuffle?
Are you saying it took 4 hours to load your iPod before you disconnected it? Do you have USB 2.0?
After you took it off, if you turned it on it should show the green light for 2 seconds, then the light will go off. Press play after the light goes off to play your music. If it doesn't play, do any lights show on the Shuffle?
What format are the songs in? Select a song in iTunes, right click, and then select Get Info.

I just restarted my Iphone and now I cant get it to start again

Just downloaded the new update iOS7. It woulden't use the program so I restarted/deleted the Iphone completely and now it wont come back on.. Told me to contact Apple support customer service, but that's closed at this hour.. Really need the phone now, it's my work phone as well. Any ideas to what I can do?

Try a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I just bought an ipad cant get it to do anything

I just bought an ipad and cant get it to start up. It is connected to my laptop.

Is it fully charged? What version of iTunes do you have on your laptop? At this stage, it would be best to update your iTunes, even if you have it, to version 10.5.
Open iTunes and the iPad should appear on the left sidebar under Devices.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That feature is only available in OSX 10.8. You'll need to upgrade or use iCloud.com.
