Desktop wont load

The other day I was watching a dvd on my imac (only purchased in november) and all of a suddon it went haywire and the screen went half black and half pixilated. I of course turned it off, but now when i turn it on the desktop wont load. The apple symbol turns up and then turns to a broken symbol and the fan goes haywire. I can run the apple hardware test off the CD but that is it. I can't even start it up on the installation CD. Please help.

Did you run the hardware test?

  • Music from desktop wont load on ipad mini

    I have downloaded music from cds made folder and it is on my computer now i cant get it onto my ipad mini

    You need to put he music to iTunes and also check the format iPad mini supports here are the formats: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV.
    And one more thing when you post questions please elaborate.
    If the format of that disc is something else ....... Download a converter.
    MP3, according to me is the best format for ipad mini. Cause MP3 every device supports MP3 format.
    AAC can be better for i Products.

    Start up using your original install discs by inserting the disc and holding the C key while rebooting. Run Disk Utility to repair the drive and restart. If everything goes ok run Software Update again.

  • My desktop icon for firefox when double clicked wont load the browser?

    My firefox browser wont load when clicking the desktop icon...i have uninstalled and reinstalled ( i have done this 3 times) and it will work for a day then it doesnt work again. Im at my witts end and im about to go back to IE.

    i think i figured it out, at least for now. I installed Adobe reader about a week ago so i could retrieve my w-2's, and i dont think Fire fox liked it. I uninstalled Adobe reader and fire fox and then reinstalled fire fox and all seems to be well again. We will see...Thanks

    Hi,
    /Users/sarahschadek/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.
    Restart your Mac.
    That's why you see this:
    When I try to do the updates my computer says it has ready it goes through like it is downloading them then at the end it says some of the files could not be saved to "/" files.
    After your restart your Mac, click the Apple  menu (top left in your screen) then click:  Software Update ...

  • My iphoto wont load my pictures to iPhoto

    i havent had a problem importing my pictures but last time i had alot of difficulty. when i plug in my phone it usually says like loading like 20 out of 30 pics and then shows all of them and lets you import. well last time i fianlly got it to finish loading the pics and imported them. this time when i plug my phone in it loads either all the pics or all the pics but like 2 or 3. for example it would say loadig 60 out of 63 or 63 out of 63 and then it just stops and wont load anymore. i waited and tried again and tried quitting iphoto and restarting and it wont work! help please

    Michael,
    Quit iPhoto, drag the folder named "iPhoto Library_1" to the trash -- the rebuild apparently failed. Next, open the folder named "iPhoto Library" and drag the folder named "Albums" temporarily to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto again and click on "Find Library", then select the folder named "iPhoto Library" (in Pictures) and click "open". When iPhoto opens, it will have no albums, but you should be able to verify that your pictures are in photo library. If there's no problem, quit iPhoto again and drag the Albums folder back into the iPhoto Library folder. Try rebuilding the library database one more time.

  • Safari wont load any website

    I try to launch Safari and it just spins. I have tried the "reset safari" and still has not worked. It states that " safari could not open the page "http://www.mac.com/" because the server stopped responding."
    However, I am working on FireFox so the server is working. Help!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    the clock which was set to digital displays wrong time...i even set the time zone.
    If you open the Date & Time System Preferences, you can select an option to use a Network Time Server. Does selecting a Network Time Server keep the time correctly? (Of course, you will have to be online some time during the day for the time to update itself.)
    Also safari wont load any other website but apple start page
    What happens if you try to visit any other Web page? Do you see an error message? If you open the "Activity" window from the Safari > Window menu, do you see any activity running?
    my iphoto is allowing me to upload photos
    Do you mean to say that iPhoto is NOT allowing you to upload photos? Again, do you see any kind of error message? What does happen? Does your camera or memory card appear on the Desktop as a hard drive? Can you open the Image Capture application (from inside the /Applications/ folder) and use that to download some of the pictures to your Desktop or another location?
    If you use the Accounts System Preferences to create a new user, log out and log in as the new user, can they import pictures with iPhoto? Does Safari work correctly for the new user as well?

  • After I update to firefox 4.0 it wont load any of my facebook games. And I don't know how to fix it. Please help Internet Explorer sucks!

    I updated to firefox 4.0 and it wont load any of my facebook games.

    Facebook games are usually Flash based.<br />
    Your More system details list show that you have the Flash plugin, so that should be working.<br />
    Make sure that you do not block Flash.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Fcp wont load cause of audio plugins

    Hi. I work on Fcp studio and Logic pro. I have a lot of audio plugins for Logic espescially waves. But now fcp wont load cause it crashes when it gets to a certain plugin. I don't want to use audio plugins in fcp as I do my audio in logic.
    Why has fcp seen my logic plugins and how can I stop this, I can't run fcp. I've tried dragging the components folder out but no luck. There must be a resolution to this, it's driving me nuts.
    Many thanks
    Antony.

    I've had the same problem.
    FCS maintenance pack is not really an option - it disables the plugins globally, so Logic wont load them. It's also expensive (for what it does) - $169.
    The easiest workaround I found is to shift the plugins (located in the /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ folder) to - for example - another folder (not called 'components') on the desktop, before launching FCP. Then you can move them back before launching Logic. A pain, yes, but until Apple fixes their problem...waiting.
    None of the plugins in this folder are core to FCP (if you're like me they'll be all Logic plugins), so there are no consequences to FCP. You could probably keep some in the folder, as I think the problem has got to do with the number of plugins (a different plugin crashes FCP every time for me).
    Cheers,
    Dan

  • IMac wont load install DVD 10.5 on iMac g4

    I have older iMac g4, which i've kept for design-reasons - its nice to look at.
    I bought it as demo-model from a dealer when the model just had gone out of production.
    It runs OSX 10.3.9.
    I wanted to upgrade to 10.5, so I bought an original second-hand DVD;
    "MAC OS Leopard - Install DVD - Version 10.5 - 2Z691-6037-A" (black-blue color; NOT grey)
    It wont load at all. It just runs in the drive for 10 - 15 seconds and then autoejects. Same thing if I restart pressing "c". At no time does the disc appear on the desktop or a start window opens. Just nothing.
    The CD drive works ok - can read and burn.
    I tried to start the Install DVD in the new iMac and the iBook; both macs can read the dvd and opens the install window.
    What should I do ?

    It sounds like a problem with the Mac not being able to read the disc rather than the disc being an upgrade-only edition etc as it won't even read it - do other DVDs (not just CDs, as sometimes a drive will partly die and be able to read CDs but not DVDs, or vice versa) definitely work in the drive?
    I think a few of the early iMac G4s came with only a CD-RW drive ie not compatible with DVDs at all, so again testing another DVD will show if you have one of those. If this is the case you could try using Target mode to install using the DVD drive in another Mac, if you don't want to replace/upgrade the drive in the G4.

  • My chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer not firefox i tried the drag it to the little house it did not work it worked before i lost it three days ago

    my chosen home page wont load it loads on internet explorer but not firefox I tried the drag it to the little houes by the address bar but it still wont load it was working but stopped three days ago

    I upgraded my Firefox and now when I open, either from a shortcut on my desk top or the Firefox icon all I get is a blank page with no address but about:blank. I can then open a page such as my mail or home page from a bookmark, nothing from the desktop will open in any thing other than the blank page. Also my right click options only work once and a while. Things like saving a photo or going back just don't work. All sorts of little glitches, I find them very frustrating and am considering going back to IE even though I don't like it much. All my saved pass words are gone too.
