Computer Won't Run w/o TechTool CD...stuck

Hello, I'm posting this message for my dad, so I don't know if he has a 'normal' or a 'firewire 800' G4.
We recently ran TechToolDeluxe on his computer, starting up from the CD, and running a diagnostic and repairing the drive. We had also just done the same thing on my G5. The G4 took MUCH longer (there is more stuff on it, and it is slower, but it took A LOT longer), and when it was over, my father tried to exit, tried to restart, tried to force the CD out, but now it says "need the CD to run" (not sure of the exact dialogue as I never saw it) and so he has to put the TechTool CD back in and it just goes back to that interface. I'm pretty confused and not sure what to do.
Thanks for any help.

It would help us, so we can advise you correctly, if you would fill in your Mac's specs. in My Settings over on the right, near your name and under the logout choice please.

Do I read this correctly, you are using your G5 TechToolDeluxe CD to repair an older G4? Also what OS are you running; and your Father? Is it the latest version of TechToolDeluxe available?

Apple have recently released an update to Safari removing in-built Java capability. If you want to use Java which I presume you do you must download it from this address;

Can't install Mozilla on home computer - won't run InstallWizard.

Installed Mozilla on work desktop without problem because BlackBoard seems to run better with it. Tried to install at home on laptop and it won't install. I get through "Run/Save", "Do you want to run this software?", and "Extracting" screens but InstallWizard never kicks in so I never get the MozillaFirefox icon on my desktop. BTW, I don't have a lot of computer savvy - strictly turn-key operator - so please keep instructions simple :o) Thank-you!

See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required. Review the rest of the tip if you have problems with the install.

Computer won't run games, system restarts. NOT solved ;/

Hi there! My computer started to boot up when playing any newer games (like half-life 2 or FEAR). It doesnt show any errors, just boots up and starts normally. Facts:
- Newer games restarts system only, not old games such as counter-strike 1.6
- 3DMark06 can run without booting 6+ hours
- Newer games i can play like 2 minutes until it restarts
- Windows automatically restart is turned OFF and C:\Windows\minidump doesn't have any files in it
- I don't get any blue screens or errors when it restarts
- Tried without integrated sound chip (without drivers too)
- I have reinstalled Windows and i have all newest updates.
- I have been able to run games before! This started few days ago!
- I have removed old GFX drivers, ran cleaning software and installed new ones (same version).
- My temperatures seems to be normal, here's picture when at desktop:
in english:
Motherboard
Processor
1. Processor / 1. Core
1. Processor / 2. Core
Aux (what is this?)
Graphics Card
Hard Disk
All computer info is at signature. What the hell is wrong with my computer?
Some guys says that it's my power supply, how do you explain that my 3DMark06 is stable for 6hours+?
Still keeps crashing/restarting whatever you wanna call it, help me!
Okay... I ran Half-Life 2 like 15minutes without restart so i thought it was fixed, well it wasn't. Tried to play Follow Freeman mod with friend and it rebooted :(
I just ran memtest86 for 6 hours and no errors.

three? WOW
many have reported high temps with the 8800, low amps being provided causes circuits to overheat which can lead to a sudden restart, it can also lead to early death, why take unnessary chances with power supplies, it could fail and take many other parts with it when it fails.
i suggested you replace the psu in an earlier post, i also suggested you test for overheat with a fan and the case open.
i would not have started that PC with such a power supply, weak supply to the system as a whole can cause maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany issues and i donot have the time to post them all, OR write a multiple page addressing such.
get a psu and start over, the enermax i posted is plenty.
Can't find any single rail PSU's which wasn't out of stock, actually found only one. What do you guys think about this one: BeQuiet Straight Power 500W - +3.3V 30.0A,+5V 30.0A,+12V1 25.0A,+12V2 18.0A (12V 34A), -12V 0.5A,+5Vsb 3.0A.

My computer won't run certain applications anymore

Recently my computer stopped running certain applications (Specifically Microsoft Word, and Rosetta Stone language programs). I thought that it might be related to the quicktime 7.2 update because it started acting up around the time that I downloaded it. I have tried everything, and I even tried to download the os x 10.4.10 intel combo patch, but my computer refuses to recognize it. Can somebody please help me?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I see you are running 10.4.10, but could you please post back and indicate which Mac you have??
Also, you might try reinstalling Word and Rosetta software.

Computer won't run more than 3-4 seconds after turning on then shuts down. New CPU installed

I replaced a damaged AMD Phenom II 820 quad CPU with what HP said was a compatible AMD Phenom II 965 quad Black edition on my HP Pavilion p6320y. AMD recommended that I also replace the existing 300w PSU with a 500w PSU. That was done succesfully as well. When I turn the machine on, the cooling fans come on but run for no more than 3-4 seconds and the machine turns itself off. The CPU is brand new and has been determined to be fine, not to have been a DOA. Does anyone have suggestions?
This question was solved.

Hi,
I'd recommend checking with HP again as I don't believe the 'Black Edition' is supported on this machine.
Best regards,

Computer won't run installations off CDs

When I insert a CD and try to install something off it my computer opens up the "Printer Utility". I know I can change the application that is used to open CD installations, but what do I need to change it to? And how can I prevent this from happening in the future.
Thanks for the help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Usually it is either Bomarchiver, or Installer.app depending on the operating system version. DMG files should be opened by Disk Utility.

Clamshell Won't run on my new battery

I finally bought a new battery for my Clamshell; charged it up and the computer won't run on the new battery. When I try to start up with the power cord unplugged the machine won't start up (nothing). When I start it up on the plug and unplug it after it's running it goes dead. It looks like the meter shows full. I charged it for 10 plus hours just like the instructions suggested. The machine has never had a working battery so I might be overlooking something really obvious. I looked around in the control panels and don't see anywhere I could manually switch to the battery.
It's a new battery not a used one, so I doubt there is anything wrong with that. I'm stumped.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

1. Try resetting the Power Management Unit.
2. If that doesn't work next carefully check the cleanliness of the pins in the battery housing.
3. If none of that works I'd be seeking advice from the retailer who sold you a new product that doesn't work.

Downloaded latest version Adobe Flash Player, Won't run.

D/L adobe flash player, windows 7, 32 bit, but computer won't run it. Checked add-ons, registry, etc. Any ideas???

Flash Player is a built-in component of Google Chrome, so there's nothing separate to download or manage. It might be an easier option.

Otherwise, what browser are we talking about? Do you have any add-ons like AdBlock Pro or Ghostery that might interfere with how Flash operates?

Frozen ipod, battery won't run down

ok here's the problem
1. the buttons won't work
2. when i hook it up to my computer, it doesn't show up
3. the battery won't run down, so it's stuck on and i can't do anything.
any ideas??? please help. i have no idea what to do!!!!!!

I'm not sure the 5Rs apply here. This happens to me every once in a while on my 3G/40GB. Absolutely no response, and no way to reset or restore. But the battery does run down because the screen stays on and I think even the hard drive is spinning. This runs the battery down, it quits, and the screen goes blank. After this, I can plug it in, it starts up again and then recharges. No music or files lost, and it works fine afterwards. I've tried resetting, restoring software, and reloading all the music. Still happens, but only every few months.

My computer won't let me run the setup.exe file. I am an admin I've run as admin and I've downloaded many times. I just reformatted my computer and now it won't work.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Have Photoshop Elements from 2001. Got new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It won't run on my new computer. What version is MOST SIMILAR to the old version I have, that will run on W7P-64? Thanks for any help. Popjer

You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met.

Battery gets very hot during use and doesn't last long, fan runs at high speed, computer won't shut down

Macbook Air isn't a year old and I don't leave it plugged in ever. The battery might last 2 hours and gets very hot. In addition the fan runs at a very high speed. The computer won't shut down in a normal way. I have to hold the power button down to shut it off. Can someone suggest something please.
Thanks.

T61 power adaptors do nothing - won't run computer & won't charge battery

My T61 suddenly won't run on the power adaptor, or charge the battery. I have several OEM power adaptors and none of them do anything plugged into this T61. The computer runs fine on a battery charged in another T61.

Assuming the power adapters are good, you'll need to replace the motherboard.

De authorizing a computer that won't run QT

How do you deauthorize a computer that won't run quicktime, causing itunes not to launch?
Or better yet, how do you fix quicktime so it works, allowing itunes to run in the first place.

Thanks for your reply!
My OS is posted along with my original post... XP pro... But is at the SB2 with all the latest updates via automatic updates. I can't seem to properly uninstall quicktime, as it gives me an error, and re installing gives an error as well, but I don't have those errors readily available to post at this time.
Running QT itself provides no error information. It simply doesn't run! When launched, I get an hourglass for a few moments, and it's done! That's it.
I had downloaded the latest at the time the other posting was made. I'll try again with the latest. I Don't expect any improvement.
Perhaps I'll use your recommendation and deauthorize all, and re authorize those that still work. I'll likely need to reformat and install everything on this system to get it working again as it looks.
