Classic cannot start - help

Hi have iMac G5 PowerPC 2.1ghz with 10.4.11
Due to Word not starting forno reason went through all sorts of reinstalls of office etc.. anyway, ended up reinstalling the os 10.4.2 and spent ages updating to 10.4.11. Reinstalled Office and all works now.
Bur classic is not. It say: Classic cannot start. There is a problem with saving preferences required to run Classic. So installed classic 9.2 from restore disc. Still same error.
Have rebuilt permissions in disk utility & in system preferences/classic rebuilt desktop.
In system preferences in classic - no system folder selected. Try to select system folder it then states - System Preferences failure - classic preferences is unable to save or read preferences. Classic cannot start.
Help

Working in another account but not yours means you have a file specific to your account that is not working, probably a preference .plist file. I notice I have one in my own user library folder in the ByHost folder called com.apple.Classic followed by a long number. You could try moving that to the desktop and see if that clears up the problem. Otherwise get hold of a copy of EasyFind and look for likely culprits specific to your user space (that's what I just did).

Nokia 6120 Classic cannot be started due to interr...

Hi
I used skype with my Nokia phone. The situation became not to receive texts that the phone memory was full because skype received files were saved in file manager (or something like that). Tried pressing keys of 3, call and *, tried to reset the phone by *#7780# and *7370# but when it restarted, shown as the memory is full. Tried it with nokia PC suite but It didn't let me to delete files received through skype. Then I thought to update software So I started updating software using nokia software updater. It said the old version of software will be replaced by the latest version. The process was interrupted saying that the cable is not fixed properly. But I'm sure it was fixed properly. Then I refixed it again and try but the answer is the same. So I cancelled the recover tab thinking that I can restart the resetting process. But I can't restart the process. Can't even start the phone. It's not detecting the device through PC suite now. Please help. What can I do.

was just loading indesign and cannot start it. seem to have no rights for some presets. i deinstalled and installed new, same problem. who can help?

Not easy if vital information is missing. Sometimes it seems like people are using the internet the first time...
What version of Indesign?
What OS? "Rights" sounds like Windows
What is happening when starting it?
If Windows, where was it installed?
If Windows, do you have admin permissions?

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

HELP!!! My macbook pro cannot start up after dropping!!!

I dropped my Macbook Pro 2.4 hardly to the ground on the right bottom days ago and it just cannot start up anymore now.
I can hear the start up chime, but the screen is black and it shuts down automatically.
I doubted it was because the hard drive dead, so I took out the hard drive and anticipated to see at least a folder with a question mark, but nothing - still black and powers off.
HELP!!! Anybody has any idea?

Contact Apple & make an appointment to have the computer repaired. Applecare does not cover accidental damage. If you want to diagnose & repair yourself - MacFixIt Tutorials

Well unfortunitly it sounds like the fall damaged the laptop to the extent that it doesn't work. Your only option is to send it into apple (or an authorized apple repair) to be fixed. Since the laptop was damaged from a fall you warranty will not cover the repair.

Acrobat cannot start Adobe LifeCycle Designer! Help!

Can someone help please?
I downloaded a trial version of acrobat 9 pro LCD last week, it opened then, but not anymore. This is the message i get everytime i try to open it, "Acrobat cannot start Adobe LifeCycle Designer. You may need to repair or reinstall the application using the original installation program."
MS SQL server 2009 was installed on my desktop this week, and from another discussion i read that this server and LCD dont get along with each other, and since LCD worked last week for me I am assuming installation of SQL server could be a possible reason why LCD wouldnt open now.
My task is to create a dynamic form that should generate a report from just typing in one field, (for example, entering the name of an account holder should populate the remaining fields of the account holder's data as result.)
has anyone done this so they can help troubleshoot??

I wrote too soon.
So the form seems to be done and functional. I just had to click cancel before going to Livecycle. Then I save it and work on it in Acrobat. I don't know why Livecycle isn't installed correctly, or honestly, what Livecycle does that Acrobat doesn't.
Anyway, problem resolved.

Cannot start rc.sysinit help :(

I am not sure what I actually did here but I started up my computer last night and it said cannot start my rc.sysinit which from what I have read it what goes thru your initscripts which is a big deal. I have tried to chroot into my system to run pacman -S initscripts but I get a cannot run /bin/bash and am not sure how to fix this.
I am a medium linux user which means I can figure a few things but this kind of stuff is over my head right now.

Can anybody help me, i don´t now what to do now. I hade my new I-pod, because i have only problems, please help me to love it again.

ok I am no expert on PC's or itunes but I have had the same problems as a lot of you on here. Have a look at what the solutions are. You need to remove the itunes 7.5 program and the quicktime program as it is causing the problem. Uninstall may or may not work, manually deleting the programs will work but your regisry will still indicate it is installed. My advice is to install
Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
I am not sure how to make an active link to it so have a look through this forum, install it, run it, remove all traces of itunes and QT then install from the downloads section version 7.4.3 which was ok. Then dont update, not yet, let them get sorted first. I hope this helps, it did me after about 4 hours and the info was right there all the time.

Keep beeping, cannot start, after installing security update. Please help.

I just apply the security update today in my MacBook (aluminum), but then the laptop cannot start.
When starting, it beeps 3X, pauses, then beeps 3X, pauses, and so on - never stops.
I press the power button to stop, but when pressing the power button back on, this keeps happening.
Does somebody also have this kind of issue? What should I do?
Sorry if I may have repeated other reports, I just cannot find here. I googled a bit and somebody tells that beeping 3X relates to graphics device problem. What should I do with this?
Thanks

Hi T,
Yes, that is the key we all are getting while the announced shows the key first presented in the update released as 2010-001, back in January. Nothing else reported besides the SHA1 diff.
I am sorry to tell you but this issue would hardly, if not ever, be related to the update. It seams to be the hardware fault in fact, test each memory in each slot, one at a time trying to boot the 4 times, 3 in the case, you are already up with this mem/slot combination.
Good luck.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

My ipod classic has started making a mewing sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It will not play except when connected to my computer. I tried resyncing and that did not work. How do I fix this problem?

My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds. It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work. How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting? I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily. Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks. Karen in GA

Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

I own PSE 7 on disc. The laptop it was loaded on died. My new laptop doesn't have an optical drive so I downloaded PSE 7 from the Adobe site. It downloaded fine but I cannot start using it until I enter a S/N. The S/N on the disc box doesn't work.

Those links weren't particularly helpful to me. They convinced me to install the drivers for my USB 2.0 card, but that didn't make a difference. Still no OS X without a PRAM reset if I've dared to venture into OS 9.
It's always been my understanding that an unblessed System Folder will not be selectable in OS 9's Startup Disk control panel. My folders are blessed and healthy. Of course I'm running 9.2.2, as stated in my first message. I also frequently verify and repair my disks and permissions.
I did a verbose startup of OS X, and noticed something funny about "ATY...too old." Perhaps this problem is related? I ventured into my system.log file and there it was, repeated over and over, everytime I've booted this computer:
Aug 8 18:30:24 localhost kernel: From path: "/pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/disk@0:10,\mach_kernel", Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOPathMatch</key><string ID="1">IODeviceTree:/pci/@d/pci-ata@1/ata-4@0/@0:10</string></dict>
Aug 8 18:30:35 localhost kernel: ROM ndrv for ATY,Rage128y is too old (0xb3383430)
Aug 8 18:30:41 localhost init: kernel security level changed from 0 to 1
Anyone know how to interpret that? Is it related to my problem? I googled it, and all I found was a web board of people arguing over whether the Apple installed stock ATI Rage video card that came in the G3's is appropriate for Panther. The Ye's have it as far as I'm concerned...as long as I leave OS 9 alone, my video is fine on this computer!

Audacious, skin problem. Cannot start.

Hello.
I just installed Audacious player, but I cannot start it. When I try to run the player, I get the following error message:
Unable to load skin.
Check that skin at '(null)' is usable and default scin is properly installed at '/usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default'.
I have the default skin in /usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default directory. I do not know what the first part of the message means (Check that skin at '(null)' is usable...). Can someone give me a hand.
I do not know what else information to post. If you need to know anything for my system, I will post the info. I have Arch GNU/Linux Core Dump, kernel: 2.6.24-ARCH. The system is installed as "Basic", I am using fluxbox ... If you need anything else ...
Regards.

OT: I'm sorry. I just couldn't help laughing at the subject, which makes perfect sense within the Linux context but which sounds truly bizarre otherwise.
