Clean install OSX and now problems! Please help

G4 tower 933
We did a clean install of the original OSX 10.1.3 cd to wipe clean the hard drive.
However, now the CD eject button now doesn't work. F12 will eject the CD but the 'eject' button in the upper right of the keyboard no longer works.
How can we get it to operate again?
it is the apple extended keyboard, all worked fine prior to clean install and all original Apple equipment.
We used the "Power Mac G4 Mac OSX Install" CD that came w/ the computer.
There are a bunch of other cds (5 'software restore' cds, OS9 cd) we did not use
Apple hardware test CD was run and all is normal
tried to run the OSX install CD again but only comes up with a blank white screen
thanks for your help!

10.1.3 is obsolete junk. No one wants to spend their time and energy helping you fix it.
Install 10.2 or later and lots of folks would be willing to help.

  • The update and other problems PLEASE HELP!!!

    The ovi store on my phone asked me to download the newer version which I did, is there an update for ovistore on the computer because I haven't heard about it if there is one and it may solve the problems I have been having with it:
    1. I don't receive the messages when trying to get an app
    2. It wont let me down load apps when I connect my phone to the computer
    (also on the nokia website it told me to click the download and install button to get an app when plugged into the computer but I can't find it..Any ideas where it is???)
    please help i've had this problem since I first set up my account and its really bugging me now!!!!!!

    (Apologies for barging in Steve.)
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80071A91, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • [Other 865 Series] 865PE Neo3-F (SATA and PATA problems),please help,thx

    Hi
    I have MSI 865PE Neo3-F mainboard and I have a few little problems with Neo.
    My first:
    I have HDD Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB,16MB cache,SATA.When I was installing Windows,(widows setup) it shows that HDD has only 131GB.BIOS shows 251GB.what does it mean?Not supported HDD or only 130GB for one partition?
    My second:
    I want to connect also P-ATA HDD,but BIOS don´t see him.
    What would be IDE settings in BIOS and also jumper settings on PATA HDD and DVD when I want use:
    SATA as Primary Master (system disk)
    PATA as Secondary Master
    DVD-ATA IDE as Secondary Slave
    My last:
    What I should installing when I want to use all advantages of SATA HDD and what would be BIOS settings?
    PLEASE HELP IT IS URGENTLY,CAUSE I HAVE TO WORK TO MY SCHOOL
    ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
    Thank you

    At the first thank you for your reply.
    Yes it works. 
    Sorry I didn´t post my OS.My OS is XP (with SP2,now).
    Configuration:
    P4 Prescott 540J 3.2GHz,FSB800MHz,HT (enabled)
    MSI 865PE Neo3-F
    2x APACER 512MB DDR400 (Dual channel,slot 1 and 3)
    ASUS FX5700 256MB
    Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB,16MB cache,7200rpm
    DVD-RW Plextor 716AK
    After installing Service Pack 2 windows shows that HDD has 300GB,but I created two partitions before (C:\ [30GB] and D:\ [100GB] in windows setup) and now (after install SP2 E:\ [170GB]) one partition in Windows.Problem how do I put together last two partitions (D:\ and E:\) to one partition?
    so if I right understand after this settings in BIOS:
    Native Mode
    ATA Configuration - PATA only (or SATA-only)
    SATA Keep enabled - yes
    PATA Keep enabled - yes
    PATA channel selection - both
    and what about another two options in this menu?what are the settings?(somtehing about 1st channel and so on)
    connections looks like that:
    on  IDE ATA100 cable from IDE1 will be connect HDD ATA100 as Master and DVD as slave?
    on SATA cable from SATA1 will be connect HDD SATA?
    How system knows which one from two Masters HDD is System disk?from Boot menu?
    Is some page on the web where can I find closer explain of IDE (SATA) settings for MB MSI?
    Sorry for questions,but I am working at the first time with SATA disk 

  • 5 hours to install OSX and now running slow

    I'll start from the beginning.... My 15" 2010 8gb RAM macbook pro had a tantrum a couple of months ago when it refused to load past the grey apple screen (it would intermittently flash up a 'prohibited' symbol like on a road sign). After some asking around I decided to reformat the HDD and re-install osx. It seemed to be ok, but then started freezing at points (once or twice a day). I installed smartreporter, which told me there were I/O errors and could be signs the disk was on its way out. Time for a new HDD I thought.
    Yesterday I reinstalled my new HDD, began the installation of snow leopard from the disk, and waited. And waited. Went to bed. Got up half way through the night to check and it still wasn't done. 5 hours in total it took before it finally installed. Then it got to the bit where it has the fancy intro video for mac osx and it froze (music still played, just video didn't - this is with 8GB ram!). That was the second sign of trouble. Finally got to the desktop and decided to run safari, and this is where it really went wrong. I tried three times to use the google bar, and every time i typed something the spinning colored wheel came up, so no text was typed. then it wouldn't let me press return, again a colored wheel. Then I tried to close and restart the macbook, and the wheel hijacked every click of the trackpad and stroke of a key, til the point where I just closed the screen over and tried to ignore the osnet of panic.
    Now throughout this process I have always assumed it was the orginal HDD that was corrupt in some way. Now the new HDD is in, things are running worse than ever. So what else could it be? Someone mentioned the logic board as a possibility, but I wouldn't know where to start with that...
    any help much appreciated!

    agree with sig. definitely sounds like a bad drive. I suggest you interrupt the install and 5 hours for an erase and install isn't normal. you may want to run apple hardware tests to see if something else is possibly afoot. reboot with the original leopard disk inserted and hold "d" at the chime. this will boot you into AHT. run all tests.

  • Itunes connection and Passcode problem (Please Help!!)

    So, my computer recently was broken beyond repair.. so when I got a new computer and redownloaded itunes i tried to connect my itouch to charge it and i noticed it said "Itunes cannot open ipod in library please imput password on ipod" I never put a password on it... aparently one of my friends did. So I was being a total DA and attempted to guess the password too many times now the ipod's disabled untill i can connect to itunes and itunes wont let me connect untill I get the password, I'm at a total loss please help!

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect it to your new computer and restore it via iTunes. Note that you will lose all content on the iPod. You can redownload apps at no additional cost provided you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.

  • Movies and Audio Problem - PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    Hi,
    If I am working on the music for a movie file i sometimes open a new project with no global tracks, so as i can focus on the music, when i then choose to open the movie and see what the music sounds like with the movie all is fine..... until i stop the movie. If the movie is not playing or doesnt have the volume slider raised high (on the movie window), no sound is heard when i press a key on my midi keyboard. This means i can only come up with ideas when the movie is playing. If i close the movie and/or the global tracks, the problem remains the same. I have to close logic an reopen it in order for me to hear any sounds (audio tracks and midi). Any advice or help would be great as this is really frustrating me. Thanks, Ben

    I use Logic Plug ins and Korg/Steinberg plug ins. I have a multi instrument set up in my environment for an external Korg Trinity Keyboard. It is no longer connected as it was too difficult to control program changes etc and recording in audio takes too long for me. This many be the problem??? Maybe i could remove the multi and see if this helps. I am thinking of re-connecting the Korg to my computer but am not sure if it will cause more problems. Any advice? Thanks... Ben

  • Iphone 4s and iPhoto problem - please help me!!

    Hi there
    I have searched the discussion boards for an answer to my problem, but cant find one yet.
    I have a brand new imac with Mavericks installed and up to date. My iphoto is the latest one according to the app store and I have ios7.0.3 on my iphone 4s.
    I have about 300 photos on the iphone and i connected to the imac with a usb cable and it appeared as though all the photos were imported in the usual way, so i agreed to delete them off the iphone when prompted to do so.
    However, the events for the appropriate dates have been created, but they are grey and all claim to have 0 photos in them.
    When I look at last import, it says that the last import was the import I did a few days ago and appears to ignore the one I have just done.
    Please can anyon help me find where my photos are in a simple way. I am getting very cross and frustrated. I have used macs for 7 years with no problems until this.
    I would also add that my iphoto is very slow and regularly stops responding so that I have to force quit.
    Help appreciated!
    Thanks a lot
    Nick

    Thanks to LarryHN and Old Toad, my problems are nearly over, I hope.
    I did the repair and, thankfully, my missing photos are back.
    However, I now have about 100 photos which are on my iPhone 4s camera roll and when I plug the phone in, it says that it has already imported them, but I can't find them in iPhoto!
    I can see the pictures on the mac when the phone is plugged in and I look on the iphone, but I cant see where they are.
    Do you think that having photostream has complicated matters at all?
    Also, why does the photo stream on my phone (and ipad) show more photos than the photostream folder fir Nov 2013 in iphoto? Is there a delay in appearing in iphoto?
    Finally, about 3 out of 5 times, iphoto becomes really slow and stops responding, requiring a force quit. Any ideas why this is and how to fix it?
    THis is a great forum, thanks to everyone for help so far.

  • Freezing iMac with both Tiger and now Leopard PLEASE HELP!!

    Hello,
    Our 1st gen 24" iMac was giving us Kernal Panics under Tiger 10.4.11 recently it all started two months ago.
    We took it into the Apple store for a Cleaning and fresh install of Leopard.
    When we received it back it locked/froze up immediately, forcing a hard restart. When I called the store they said one of my sticks of ram was not techinically bad but still suspect.
    This is what I did after that call.
    1. Checked the ram physically (the Apple store had placed my 512mb Apple ram stick in slot 1) which I thought very strange.
    2. I corrected the ram, meaning I put the 2gb (suspect) stick in slot 0 and the 512 Apple ram in slot 1. Things were better it would take 10-15 minutes of use before locking up not 1-2 minutes.
    3. I placed a new stick of Crucial (2gb from OWC) in place of the supect stick. that has had ZERO affect, our mac still freezes.
    4. I pulled out the 512mb Apple (Micron) ram and replaced it with a 1gb Micron stick from OWC and that gives us roughly 20-40 minutes of time befroe freezing.
    The software is up to date, I've max'd out the ram (at Apple's request) and all we have running is iTunes in the background to stream to AppleTV and a few tabs of Safari open when this locks up.
    Right before it freezes we notice lines arcoss the application windows almost as though there a distorted pixels.
    If any of you Mac Gods can help guide me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks

    Thanks, they did test the HD and booted from an external when I had it at the store, so maybe it is the Logic Board. That would suck bad!

  • G580 Very slow, and mouse problems, please help

    I purchased a brand new G580 approx 2 weeks ago. 
    It has 4GB of memory compared to my old lenovo which had 2GB.  This new one runs at half the speed of my old one and has nothing on it (i.e pictures, music, vids etc) 
    If i open a programme to do something and then open another, it cannot cope with it and will take forever to do anything on the 2nd programme when it eventually opens. 
    also the mouse wanders! I dont have to be touching it or doing anything near it, it just wanders across the screen which is getting very annoying. 
    Please could somebody help me? 

    Hi kiri_tc,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that your G580 Laptop is not performing as expected and the cursor is moving erratic, re-installing the Touchpad driver should resolve this issue and let me know the OS (Operating System) that is installed in the computer and the country where the computer was purchased, also the Type of G580 for providing the steps to resolve performance issue and exact touchpad driver link. Below is the link to locate the model number and Type of the computer which is mentioned on the sticker at the base of the Laptop.

  • Curve 8330 Voice dialing and sound problems, Please help!

    I got this black berry curve 8330 from a friend on the weekend to replace my broken Pearl. He said it worked fine but it sometimes had a voice dialing problem. After wiping all the personal data and activating the phone the voice dialing went nuts. Every 6 to 9 sec the voice dialing would activate with no sound. meaning you don't hear the lady voice say, "say a command". After reading many forums posts I download memmax and removed all VAD files. But I will still left with no sound. I went and did a test on the hardware and the speaker and microphone both worked fine. Puzzled I tried playing a ringtone, , it plays maybe the first second of the file and then the sounds goes away but I am able to get it back by press the Speaker/$ key. I then tried making a phone call and the phone was working just fine. About an hour later I tired calling someone and the issue had raisin again. This time I was unable to get the sound back. (I tried resetting many times with no success.) I could still play media files, but was unable to get sound making or receiving calls (this includes the other party not being able to hear me as well.) I tired changing profiles with no success. I then did some more reading and tried updating the OS. Once that was done and voice dialing had been reinstalled and started acting up again. SO I removed it and basically everything happened all over again. So right now I have a phone that I can’t make calls on but I can still text and use the internet. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Should I try wiping the OS and reinstall or is this phone toast?

    The msi nforce package 2.29 fixes the NVMCP.SYS error and turns it into a very rare system freeze. 8o
    Very rare!
    been waiting almost 9 months for this fix so i could pull the damm soundblaster out! :O

  • App Store, Safari, and Netflix Problems, please help

    Im showing a strong wifi connection with my ipad 2, but when trying to access itunes or the app store, the pages wont fully load. Some of the thumbnail images will only show ? Marks and sometimes page wont even load at all until i try it again. Same happens in safari and netflix. My iphone 4 is working fine however when just on wifi. Ive tried resetting network, hard resets and a bunch of other tricks, but nothing working. Some apps are working fine, but why would this be happening with itunes, safari, and netflix? Does anyone have a solution?

    I see you wrote your question at 1:05 AM.  Chances are it didn't get read much as some of us who spend a great deal of time here helping people, just might have been asleep.  Sarcasm won't help you much.
    Now, have you actually fully closed the apps, then reboot?  To fully close the apps, go to your home page, then double tap your home button to bring up the task bar (most recently used apps).  Hold your finger on any of the recently used apps until they all start to jiggle.  You'll see a on the top left of each app.  Touch the minus on each of the apps you're having trouble with to fully close them.  Then touch your home button once more to stop the apps from jiggling and then again, to return to your home page.
    Then, do the hard reset (in case you didn't do it properly).  Press and hold BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
    Try the apps after your iPad comes back up and hopefully, they will work correctly.
