CD opens on boot, restart, G5 PowerMac
Whenever I reboot my computer or restart it, the cd will open on boot regardless of if it is empty or has a CD/DVD in it, any ideas on how I can fix this ? otherwise the CD works fine.
I want to boot from my OS X disk on boot, but the cd opens, so it is preventing me from doing that.
Holding down the mouse button opens the optical drive on startup. So my guess is that one of your USB devices is simulating the mouse button being held down during the initial power up.
I would trouble-shoot this by disconnecting all of your USB devices except for a standard Apple keyboard and mouse, then try starting up. If that fixes the problem, connect one device at a time (counting a USB hub as one device) to determine if one device makes the problem occur.

Cd tray opening on boot up and very slow boot up, 5 mins plus
Hello, very new to Macs, only had this a few days. G4 800 mzh 1.5 gb ram running os 10.4. Cd tray opens on boot up and very slow boot up. Tried resetting pram and fsck. No joy with either.
Any help and advice much appreciated
Thanks
JonA warm welcome to Macdom & Apple's forums!
You may need to reinstall some things, or maybe even the whole OS.
How much free space is on the HD of what size?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! -

How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?
How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart? I want to wipe all open files, since that seems to be the most efficient way to close lots & lots of open files (that build up over the course of normal activities)
One way is to always quit all applications before you shut down.
An easy way to do this (although in my own experience it doesn't seem to always work perfectly) is to simply hit CMD + TAB + Q and hold down all three keys.
When you do that the computer will cycle through all open apps and close them. If there are any open files that haven't been saved, it won't close them. So you should save everything you want to save before you hit CMD + TAB + Q. -

At times I will close my firefox browser When I go back to open my browser I get a message stating that firefox is running The only way I can get my browser open is to restart my computer Why
Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.
Hi Swampxiix,
How many programs do you have open while you're working in Illustrator? Do you have a lot of layers or art boards?
It could be that your computer was being slowed by too many programs, or a complex design file. The age of your computer could also be a culprit.

OSx Mavericks problem with "open windows on restart"
I noticed that, after upgrading to OSX Mavericks, although not check the box "open windows on restart", windows left open to off, reappear when I make a new log in. Anyone with the same problem?
Sorry for my EnglishThis happens quite a bit on the recently released beta's of Solaris Express and I would guess OpenSolaris as well. There was a thread on OpenSolaris.org that Jurgen Keil posted that disables some aspects of the CPU that on my system at least alleviated the issues.
I've not seen any reports on it from Solaris 10 so it might be unrelated. Which version of Solaris specifically are you using?

Application "Pages" opens with every restart of computer?
Recently downloaded Lion from the App Store. Now "Pages" opens with every restart of computer?
Could be two things
1. Look in you system prefs and look for login items for your user. If pages is there, remove it......or
2. Lion now thinks that if you "quit" apps or restart without first closing documents, then it will restart and re- open apps and documents you had open when you restarted. So make sure you close the documents, and then quit the app. I don't like this much......I hear some programs have some settings for this, but I'd like yo turn it off globally...... -
Firefox is not hanging as I can access all the items in the menu bar and change the settings as well. it just seems to need time before it can connect to my server even though Safari is working fine. Once the page loads up in firefox it works fine after.

OS 10.2.8 partition/boot issue on PowerMac G3
Computer: PowerMac G3
OS: Boot Partition #1=10.2.8; Partition #2=9.2.2
RAM: 384 MB
USB PCI card installed
Issue: Out of the blue my USB ports suddenly stopped working. After some research, I decided to reset my PRAM. This worked--sort of. My USB ports now work fine, but my machine will only boot up in OS 9.2.2. At first, my computer wouldn't even show my OS X partition. A quick check in the Profiler did show the existence of the OS X, but it showed as grayed out, unmounted, and with 0 bytes. In desperation, I ran DiskWarrior on the OS X partition from within OS 9 (it found a LOT of problems, but did claim to fix them). This did bring back my OS X partition to the desktop, Profiler, and Startup Disk chooser. I can now open and access all files on the OS X partition from within OS 9, but when I choose OS X as my startup disk and restart my computer, it just restarts in OS 9 again.
Question: Does anyone out there have a suggestion on how I might get my computer to once again start up in OS 10.2.8?
Additional Complication: The original internal CD ROM died a long time ago, and the quick replacement that I found does not allow me to boot from a CD. Can OS 10.2.8 be reinstalled from the OS 9 partition, or am I screwed on that front?
Thanks in advance,
darkbodhiGulliver,
Thanks for the info on PatchBurn--that looks extremely promising, however it appears that you cannot install it on the OS 9 partition which still leaves me in a bind. If/when I finally do get my OS X to boot, I will definitely install this software!
Thanks again,
darkbodhi
