Don't think adapter is powering my computer =(
Currently, my adapter is plugged in, but the batter icon shows that it's not charging and that the power source is the battery, not the adapter. The ring on my adapter is orange, though, but I still don't understand what's going on =\ And is there a possible solution without having to spend hundreds of dollars?
Reset the Power Manager anyway, and see whether that makes any difference in charging. If it doesn't, and you can test to see whether the battery charges OK using a different, known-good AC adapter, that's the next thing to do. Take the Powerbook to an Apple Store to do it, if you can't find someone with a good adapter to use for testing.
If a known-good adapter doesn't charge the battery and won't enable the Powerbook to start up with or without the battery in place, then your DC-In card or your logic board is bad and will need to be replaced. A technician should determine which one is the problem.

Don't think my computer is sleeping-
Hi Guys
Bit of an odd situation. I have my computer quite near to my bed in a little room and so the numerous lights of my system (7 Power LEDs - G5, two monitors, USB hub, speakers and ext. HD and powerboard) illuminate my room to the point that i can't sleep with them ! So i taped most of them up with dark black electrical tape and turn off whatever i can.
My problem is that i don't think my computer is sleeping. Firstly i can hear HD wirr and possibly fans - there so quiet! and secondly i can *wake up* my computer by shaking the mouse - something you shouldn't be able to do. I've unplugged all peripherals including my non apple USB mouse. I've only unmounted and powered down my ext HD due to the position of the cables. The computer still only turns off the monitors and doesn't go to sleep fully. I haven't tried closing all open apps and i don't want that to be the solution as there is not point in my having to close all my programs in order to let my computer sleep.
The only thing i can think of right now is the fact that my computer is the dreaded Late 2004 / Oct 2004 Single Processor 1.8 Ghz G5 post G5 update. Do any other people with this same computer after applying the update have similar problems by any chance? Or is it just my computer? Can someone please think of something else that might be giving my poor little troublesome G5 insomnia ?
Thanks for any replies
DKRPretty obvious but did you check the sleep settings?
Have you tried to manually sleep your mac?
Sleep on a mac is a software/hardware dance where everything must be correct for it to work.
Usb devices (especially card readers) can mess it up. Do you have usb plugged into other devices (monitors, printers, etc.)?
• Mac will not sleep if Applications/processes continuously writing to the Console logs.
Launch Console in Applications/Utilities and check both the console.log and system.log logs for blocks of recurring messages written therein that repeat at high frequency.
Note: the console.log file should open by default when you launch Console.

I have a new computer. I have copied Itunes library from an external hard drive. Itunes now tells me I cannot sync with my Ipod as it thinks the 20gb on the computer are different to the 20gb on my Ipod touch! What have I done wrong? How can I fix it? Alan

I don't think my Mac Pro is completely shutting down. When I hit the power button, it just turns off immediately instead of going through the normal shut down procedures. I heard that I should try resetting the SMC, which involves removing the power cord. However, when I remove and replace the power cord, it turns on automatically, so I can't even properly reset that to see if it is the issue. Is this probably a power supply issue?
Actually, in case this information helps... The computer went into sleep mode the other day, and would not come back. This is a work computer that I use for our photography business, and at this point I am just trying to run it as a drive to get the photos onto our new computer, but this issue is keeping us from doing so. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Try a SMC reset.

HT201406 I pad has a black screen what do I do I don't think I have ever backed it up to a computer
I pad has a black screen what do I do I don't think I have ever backed it up to a computer
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
My daughters ipod touch was reset by accident and I don't think it was ever plugged into a computer. Is there a way to restore all the games she purchased on it?
Restore from iCloud backup if shed has one.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too. -
I haven't used my IMac in a long time and went to boot it up, and I find I don't remember the correct username and password (I use several computers..I try to keep the passwords similar, with a number for the chronological order in which I started using them) I've tried all the others I use for passwords. The 'hint" keeps coming up for the password I am pretty sure is the correct one, but, still cannot get in. I also don't remember whether I changed my surname on the computer...it was changed legally a little while ago, but some of my older devices still have my birth-name in there)
HELP
I don't think I ever set up a "master password" on the thing...I never use those. I am the only person with access to my personal devices.

my final cut is running extremely slow after having for 6 months. I use external hard drives and save nothing on my computer. it takes a long time to render now. do you think something is wrong with computer. took it to mac store but they fail to help me. I have a 13 inch mac book pro 10.6.8 8gb 2.3 gfz intel core i5
What did Apple tell you about what they did (or did not) find here?
See if working on the main disk is any faster.
USB2 is glacial, as I/O interconnects go. And USB2 disks have been known to fail, or sometimes to drop back to USB1 speeds, too. FireWire 800 is substantially faster than USB2, but still not as fast as the internal drive connections can provide.
Put another way, start varying your configuration, and see which configuration changes (still) have the problem, and which don't. -
Hi guys.
I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it.
I don't think I can access my disk anymore as I've moved across countries since I've first gotten my laptop. it was working perfectly fine before it kept going to the dark grey screen with a little blue on the bottom.
If it helps, my camera light is still on, and it seems that my computer is working properly itself, but won't go past this grey screen.
I'm a college student and am really panicking about this - can anyone please tell me what to do?
Thank you & sorry for the long post.What operating system are you running on it? (iOS 5.1 is for iPhone, iPad...not a Mac).

When i update my IOS7 i lost my all pic from my IPAD2 can anyone suggest how to get back those pic? and i don,t think so i did kept back up before i update ios7. can anyone help me for this issue?
The photo's in your camera roll would be in a backup, if you have one (iCloud or iTunes). If you did not keep a backup somewhere, they are gone. Sorry, but that is the way of any data - if you don't have a backup of it somewhere, there is nothing to restore it from.
All other photo's should be on your computer somewhere anyway - whereever you had them to sync to the device originally. -
HT201272 Store thinks it's on my computer but it's not
BIG PROBLEM. I have several missing music purchases. The Apple Store> Purchases>Not on this computer don't show them on the list so it must think they are pn this computer. When I bought this new computer and the Apple store transferred my files they did it such a way that I have been back in 4 times to try and get my photos, music, etc straightened out. A HUGE MESS! I have about 15 purchased music files still missing. Spotlight can't find the music, I can't find the music....and the store still thinks it's somewhere on my computer. The other complication is that I used the music in some family imovies and now the music won't play because it can't find the music. WHAT NOW???? How do I get the store to allow me to re downlaod the missing files?
If you have the 'pointers' to those songs in the Music part of your iTunes library then iTunes assumes that you still have the tracks somewhere (even if the actual music files are not on your computer). Try deleting the 'pointer' to one of them from your library and see if it then shows in the 'not on this computer' section for re-downloading (assuming that it's still in the store).

I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?
Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings -
When I try to install ITunes, I get Error 2503. The description says the it may be a bad download. I don't think that is the problem. I'm operating Windows 8.1 on a computer that's less than a year old. Windows was corrupt and had to be re-installed recently. It was all handled through Microsoft. Can you help?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
