Windows vista 64 bit, w1907 desk top will not start up..

2007 pc vista w1907 desk top compputer will not start up.

I CAME HERE TO HOPEFULY GET HELP. BUT I GUESS I CAN GIVE SOME TOO. MY VISTA 64 IS FEEZING AND DUMPING TOO. THE WAY I GET IT TO RE-START IS...HOLD THE POWER BUTTON DOWN FOR 10 SECONDS. IT WILL POWER DOWN. UN-PLUG IT FOR A FEW SECONDS. PUG BACK IN. THE LIGHTS SHOULD BE OFF. IF NOT. YOU NEED TO UNPLUG AND LET REST FOR AWHILE.MAYBE 1 HOUR. IF THE LIGHT IS OUT.PUSH IT TO START UP. IF IT DON'T START.HOLD DOWN FOR TEN SECONDS AGAIN.DON'T UN-PLUG IT.PUSH TO START AGAIN. DOS START-UP SCREEN WILL COME ON.USE KEYBOARD TO SELECT SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKS.CLICK ENTER. IT SHOULD START WITH LIMITED SOFTWARE TO RUN AND TROUBLE SHOOT. I JUST DID ALL THAT TO GET HERE TO THIS FORUM. DOESN'T SOLVE MY PROBLEM. BUT AT LEAST FOR NOW I AM TO SEARCH FOR MORE SOLUTIONS. LAST WEEK I DOWNLOADED A UPDATE FOR NIVDIA DRIVERS. SEAMED TO SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT A WEEK. UNTIL YESTERDAY..I LOVE THIS VISTA 64. BUT EVERYONE HAS PROBLEMS WITH IT. NOW, I SEE THERE ARE ALREADY PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS 8. (**bleep**). I'M THINKING ABOUT BLOWING UP THIS POS AND SWITCHING TO A MAC
HP BETTER GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER OR I'M DITCHING THEM LIKE SO MANY HAVE ALREADY

Pb g4 disk wont show on desk top will not eject

pb g4 disk wont show on desk top will not eject

Resetting of PMU yielded no success.
Here is what I have tried so far.
* First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
no icon located on desktop
* If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
mute point for me
* Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
did not work
* If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
disk did not show up in menu bar to eject
* Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
eject option was available in itunes but no response
* Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
disk is not visible
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism
no orriface thta fits this discription as far as I can tell
* Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. )
no luck
* If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.
this did not work either

Black screen on apple desk top will not power on. I can here some sound when I try to turn on. Help?

How do I fix black screen home pc will not power on?

If you hear the start up sound try a PRAM reset and a static discharge.
First unplug your Mac from power.
Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
Release.
Press the power button 5 times.
Plug back in to power.
Turn it on, and hold CMD OPT P R on your keyboard until you hear the Start Up Chime a second time.

Hi,
Could you boot into Safe Mode now?
If no, Please use Windows 7 installation disc to repair your installation:
Start your computer from a Windows 7 installation disc or USB flash drive

IBM T21 will not start

IBM T21 Laptop will not start
Hi All.
I have an old IBM T21 laptop Pen 3 that runs Windows XP Pro.This laptop has served me well over a number of years until yesterday.
I fired the T21 up and up came the IBM splash screen during the BIOS loading. Then all of a sudden I heard a long beep followed by 2 short beeps, and there it stayed. The booting would go no further.
I rebooted, same problem.
I turned off the IBM removed the battery and the power cable and let the unit sit a few minutes. I then re-connected what I had removed but when it came to rebooting, the same thing happened.
I spent a few hours trying every thing that I could think of but to no avail.
I then made a Google search on "BIOS beep codes" and listed for IBM systems was :
" Video (mono/CGA Display Circuitry) issue".
Is this problem fixable or does this mean that my laptop has finally given up the ghost?
Regards
Solved!

Hi Mornsgrans
I did as you suggested (thanks for the handbook/manual link).
I have 2 sticks of RAM, a Kingston 256 and a no name listed 128 Meg of RAM, totaling 384 Meg of RAM.
I removed both and then inserted one stick at a time rebooting several times before removing the RAM and doing the same with the other stick. This was done with the battery and CD tray removed.
At no time during this process or since have I received any beep codes or boot freezing.
Would I be too naive in hoping that the 2 sticks of RAM only needed reseating to fix the problem?
So here is hoping that the problem is fixed.
One thing worth noting though. I have on the desk top a widget that measures CPI and RAM usage. This unit in the past, in particular since I have been having this problem has been showing very high and erratic RAM and to a lesser degree, CPI usage.
Since messing around with the RAM both these widgets have been registering lot less activity and considerably less usage.
I guess time will tell if this is only a splash in the pan or a good fix.
Regards

Itunes will not start after getting safari 4.0 update

Hi everyone, I'm the sort who doesn't skip a software update whenever i'm prompted with one. Much to my appall, after having updated my safari to 4.0 (as prompted by iTunes 9.0.2 to access iTunes store), my iTunes will not start, and my MSN messenger crashes a little less than a few minutes after launching it. Is this a known problem? Should i copy and paste the error report?

Mac OS 10.5 /
I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
But my computer will not start from it on its own.
My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info? I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
Thanks guys

Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
Anyway here we go...
Okay so first things first.... Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
-------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
AND
"Disconnected the primary HD"
and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
After a bit of trial and error...
I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
this setting is under
Utilities / startup disk
After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
So upon this discovery
I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
Once highlighted ...
In the heading section on the right I selected the option
Erase
in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
I FORGOT to add something...
Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
So back to the next step...
I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!!
Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
-------One more time the fix------
*Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
*Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
*Reboot your machine...
Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
* you will then be prompted to select your language.
Once selected
*Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
* Click restart...
!!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
In that case restart again.
Upon restart once again
*Choose your language...
*Click Utilities / disk utility
In the left column select and
*Highlight your HD ...
Then towards the top portion / center of the page
*Click the heading Erase
Then on the page toward the bottom
*Click security options
This will then provide erase options.
I USED THE FIRST OPTION
"Dont erase data"...
*click OK
* click erase...
Once erased which should take a few seconds
*Cancel the disk utility...
* Click Utilities / startup
And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
* Select your drive from the list by highlighting
It should no longer have a name.
*Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
Thats it!!!!
Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
Goodluck ;)

HP Pavilion dv4 will not start up

Hi! I am hoping someone can help me. My friend has an HP Pavilion dv4--2045dx running Windows 7 and it will not start up. Once it is turned on the hp logo appears for a quick second and then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the left, top corner comes up. If I press ctrl alt del and then esc I can get into the menu for F1, F2, F11 etc. I have run and passed all of the system diagnostics tests (Start up, Memory and Hard Drive). I have tried to reset the BIOS to default condition and also tried to connect the laptop to my TV to see if it was the screen that doesn't work, but it wasn't. I tried a hard reset also. When I press F11 for a system recovery, nothing happens. It just goes right back to the black screen with blinking cursor. All of the other F-keys work and I am able to pull up screens for each, except the F11 key.
I am not very computer literate but am trying everything I can think of to get it back to factory settings or system recovery. If anybody out there has any idea what I'm talking about (I'm not sure I even do) please please give me some suggestions!!
I tried to write all of the information I can think of, but if you have any questions about the issue I'll be glad to answer what I can!
Any suggestions/help are GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may share!!

Hi,
Try the following to see if the Hard Drive is accessible. The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ) When you've created the CD, follow the rest of the instructions and see if you can access the HDD - you may want to back up your existing files if you can.

When trying to open Firefox it trys to connect to restore the prevoius session (not responding) and will not start. I uninstalled then reinstalled and it is still stuck. I have to X the box and use the popup to close the noresponsive program

Firefox will not start. When I try to open it it gets stuck trying to restore the previous session. It shows "connecting" and the little round working cursor just spins. The program says (not responding) in the top. Please help me fix this, thanks

Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

If your machine was upgraded to OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountian Lion, then DO NOT PROCEED!
The 10.6 disks cannot be used for 10.7 or 10.8, if that's the case, then let me know as a different method is involved.
On the second screen booted from the 10.6 disk, under Utilities menu is Disk Utility.
Select your entire internal boot drive on the left, it should have a name and a size.
Click First Aid > Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.
If the drive doesn't appear on the left, it may mean it's dead or there is a broken connection between the drive and the computer.
If Disk Utility says "can't repair, backup and erase and install" then the drive works, it's that it can't repair the file structure, likely because of a failed sector on the drive (may be natural or caused by shock or failing drive)
However you don't have to erase if it says to do so, if the drive works mechanically the data can be recovered.
The drive may work fine if removed from the machine as well if it's not showing up on the left in Disk Utility.
If the drive doesn't work, then the data can be recovered if it wasn't Filevaulted, but the platter dissection required is expensive.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
If the drive is repaired, do it again.
After the drive is repaired, Quit Disk Utiltiy and select Reset Password from the Utilties menu.
Don't change the password if your just repairing user permissions, instead select the drive at top and the account your having issues with.
See an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the button.
After that, quit and your in the OS X install screen, select the boot volume and click Install, this will overwrite OS X 10.6 with a fresh copy.
Quit and restart, then when you log in hit Apple Menu > Software Update until clear, you should be on 10.6.8
Some third party programs may not work, you will have to reinstall them from original sources and make sure they are compliant with 10.6.8

IBook will not start up!

My iBook will not start up all the way. It gets to the gray apple screen and just spins.(3hrs) I tried everything. It will not start up with 10.3 CD or OS9. It will start up with nortons CD but you cant see the Hard Drive. Hardware test CD starts and every thing checks out fine. What to do. I hope its not its final day.

Paul,
Do you have OS X 10.3 installed on it?
Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, and repair permissions on it.
See if you are able to do a little hard drive maintenance to helps things out.
If it won't start up in Safe Mode, you can try Single User Mode and fsck, but if Safe Mode won't do it for you, fsck may not, either.
Keep Norton far, far away from any hard drive with OS X installed on it. DiskDoctor is known as DiskDoctor Kevorkian around here. It finds non-existent "errors" and sets about "correcting," them, killing your hard drive in the process.
If none of Apple's own disk repair procedures work (Safe Mode, Disk Utility from the Install disc, or fsck), it may be wise to invest in DiskWarrior. It can often find your hard drive and repair it when Apple's own utilities cannot. DiskWarrior has saved my hard drive more than once.
Good luck.

System will not start

T60 will not start. While turning on and initiating system, it died suddenly. Even the battery light was not illuminated. Battery part# is FRU P/N 42T4504. Should the system still start with the AC adapter, even if battery has died? Are others having problems with this battery?

I had a similar problem, it ended up being much less of an issue than I originally thought.
THis was my problem, maybe its similar to yours.
When doing any type of CPU or GPU intensive work, such as video encoding, or even playing a flash application with lots of things going on, it would jsut die. Lights out, not even the battery or charging lights would come on. Pressing the power button would do nothing either. I had to unplug, take the battery out, put it back in, wait about 10 mins then restart and pray for no BSOD.
I thought it was the power source, but since it was just shutting off randomly, (a symptom of an overheating GPU or CPU) I decided to clean out the fan first (I was out of warrenty).
If that sounds like your problem, I recommend you try the following. If it doesn't fix it, then you're out about $15 and a half-hour of your time. If your machine is out of warrenty, or if you don't want to wait a couple weeks for your laptop to return from the depot, definitely try this. Its cheaper then paying for repairs, and cheaper then getting an assessment of the problem.
Go to a computer parts store, bought a good tube of thermal paste (cost like $15) and some compressed air. Get the good stuff if you have a good processor. It works much better than the stock stuff.
First unplug your laptop, take the battery out, then Unscrew the Screws at the bottom that hold the palmrest, Keyboard down (they'll be marked) then the screws that hold the bezel (not marked).
Once those are off, draw a quick sketch of the inside components, and as you take screws out, label on your sketch the size/colour of the screw, so everything goes back in correctly.
Then, you'll need to take the top left speaker out, and two metal 'arms' that hold the Fan in place. The fan should then pop out. If there's another screw I'm forgetting about, take it out too.
On the fan, your CPU and GPU, there will be old thermal paste. With a lint-free cloth, with a bit of 70% rubbing alcohol, clean the paste off. Be sure to use something that won't leave residue. Things like TP, kleenex, etc are bad. Coffee Filters work pretty well.
Now with the compressed air, spray out the inside of your laptop, spray the fan out well, and anything else that looks dusty.
Now put a bit of the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU, and pop the fan unit back in place, screw it in immediately. Put the rest of the components back together, and while you're at it, take the time to blow out your keyboard, as I'm sure its full of dust, crumbs ,hair, and other fun stuff.
This would likely solve your problem for under $20. And best yet, you don't have to ship your laptop away for a few weeks.
In my case, I thought there were bigger problems. After cleaning/replacing the fan, I haven't had an issue at all, its been a few months. I can encode video, run graphically intensive programs/games, etc. without an issue. CPU/GPU temps don't get nearly as bad as they did.
Hope that helps your problem.

Aperture 3.6 will not start after new install

Rebuilt my Mac Mini with a clean install of Yosemite 10.10.2 and reinstalled all my apps. Downloaded and installed Aperture from the App Store but it will not start. No crash, just nothing. Does its animated thing when double-clicked in Finder, and goes through the usual launch action from Launchpad, but then nothing. No icon in the dock, does not appear (even momentarily) in Activity Monitor. I have Final Cut Express installed and have seen other launch issues with this combo, but they all seem to result in an Aperture crash. Any ideas?

Did you install Final Cut Express after you installed MacOS X? Then install Yosemite again on top of the current system, without reinstalling the applications. See: Aperture 3.x: Aperture unexpectedly quits if Final Cut Express 4 is installed
Aperture does not work after installing FCE, but if you reinstall MacOS X after installing FCE, both Aperture and Final Cut Express sgizld work.
The download of Aperture may be incomplete. If reinstalling the system does not solve this, trash Aperture and download again.
