Downloaded wrong (G5) v. of TFF, Ten4Fx, eMac won't come back on...

My eMac quit a month or so ago and I sent it to some of the students at UCAB for first aid. They pronounced it dead. Kids! My son took it apart and thoroughly cleaned it. (Hadn't been cleaned since I bought it in 2003, a rebuild. It, of course, was filthy.) It started up and went like magic. Then.....I downloaded the wrong FFF and after some lengthy attempts and lots of research realized I was working as though it was on my G5 not my eMac. Pshaw! by then it had locked up and wouldn't recognize my mouse nor would it force quit so (dumb me) I shut it down. Now it won't start. New battery, worked like a charm, like new, faster than it had been for years.
Is there any hope? I love that little jewel!

I BD! As usual, you hit the nail on the head (almost)
As you advised, I first tried to boot up from the original Disk, (start up holding down the "C").   Mr e refused to recognize the disk though I tried several times to activate it. First of all it wouldn't accept the disk in the drawer, then it wouldn't let it go. I spent several hours (days) trying to get it to work without any luck. When it refused to respond to the commands, Comd+C; Comd+S; Comd+shift, etc. I figured it was completely kaput. I bought this eMac in August 2001, is it possible the disk deteriorates over the years? It did respond to Firewire but I wasn't ready to go that route yet. In all this I had to hard quit it several times which made me very nervous.
Then I thought perhaps my Disk Warrior would do the trick. Same routine, wouldn't accept the disk, then wouldn't let it go.    Then DW wouldn't complete the procedure prescribed.
Finally--- I tried Disk Utility in the Finder. It verified that the HD was OK but Disk Warrior had one bad partition out of three. I tried several times to fix the bad section then read in the DW manual that a "Locked Disk cannot be repaired". Fifty-three pages of instruction, bound to miss something.
Disk Utility in the Finder did the trick, the e's back in action but I guess I'll have to buy a new Disk Warrior. It did a great job, when it was new, of cleaning up the eMac and the Mac G5 17" PPC.
Thanks again for your patience and advice.   ....goldie

Power Failure and eMac won't come back on

We had a thunderstorm and the power went out. Not the first time, but even though the eMac was plugged into a surge protection bar, it will not turn on. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

If the PRAM battery (or whatever they call it now) is nearly dead, this will often keep the eMac from booting back up. Usually you will noticed in previous power downs and restarts you may get a message about your clock and date being set wrong. This is a sign your battery is dead. Eventually it gets tot he point where it actually prevents the Mac from starting.
So unplug the eMac, flip it over, open the door on the bottom where the RAM and battery are. Remove the battery. Put the door back on. Flip it back over. Plug it in and try to start it. If it starts up, then that was your problem. Take the little battery to your local Radio Shack, Best Buy, Comp USA, whatever, and get a new one. In the meantime you should be able to use your computer. Sleep it instead of shutting it down until you get a new battery.
Good luck,
Patrick

Need to Install Safari 6.0.2 on a white Intel core duo iMac. Had to throw out 6.0.3 because of conflict with required software. Downloaded wrong version that was for Mountain lion (I am running 10.7.5). It installs but won't open.

Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

Android downloads wrong rendition

I published two renditions of the same folio to the Android App Store a.k.a. Google Playstore - 1024 x 600 and 1232x800. The problem is that my Motorola Xoom downloads the 1024 x 600 folio which is obviously targeted for Kindle. I can't help but think that I missed a step in publishing the larger folio.
Looks like someone's got a case of the Mondays.

As far as I know the product »ID« you enter when before publishing needs to
be the same, too.

Hi does anybody know if you download wrong app can you get a full refund? As I've downloaded a app what cost 13.99 but wanting the 18.00 app.

Hi does anyone know if you can get a refund if download wrong app? As I have downloaded a 13.99 app but wanted the 18.00 app? I don't fancy having to pay another 18 pounds. Thanks stackers

If you are looking for a refund for the purchase of this application, you must request this from the support web site for the itunes or app's store. You should note that officially the iTunes Store does not give refunds and that the terms of sale state that "all sales are final". You can ask, though, and perhaps they'll make an exception for you. Just state why you feel a refund is deserved.
iTunes Store - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - follow the onscreen instructions

HT2404 I downloaded wrong app how do I get a refund

How do I get a refund , I downloaded wrong app ?

You probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:

It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

Hi I got iPhone 4 been getting apps today went to get an app and won't let me even free ones have to sign in then sign in again for billing info it's all correct but still won't download apps had problem before fixed it but won't work again

iPhone has previously downloaded apps but go to do today and won't keeps asking for billing info which is in there and correct but then says plz update you payment there is a billing problem with your previous purchase it's done before to me so reset and erased everything and worked did that Again and still doesn't work info is all correct have to re enter Ccv number still doesn't work driving me nuts I want my apps

If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

I downloaded iOS8 on my iPod 5th generation the other day and its been completely fine and now all of a sudden my iPod has turned off and it won't turn back on, i have tried charging it but nothing is coming up, what should i do?

the other day when iOS8 came out i downloaded it onto my 5th generation iPod, it has been working perfectly fine since, now today when i left it for a couple of hours, it turned itself off and now it won't turn back on. i have tried charging it but nothing is happening. it's not out of charge because the little battery usually comes up when its charging, but the screen is completely black and nothing is happening. i have tried turning it on by both buttons and it won't work. i don't know whats wrong with it. i haven't topped it or anything, so I'm assuming its the new download as it seems to be effecting other peoples devices as well. what should i do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I downloaded Macfee security and parental control. The settings have gone back to basic settings but if I try to customise the toolbar by add the "home" icon or adding "contact" to bookmarks until I close and when I open they are gone. Any ideas

Make that four.
If you have any commercially advertised/available antivirus software installed on your Mac, completely uninstall this per the instructions on the AV developer's website.
Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and can negatively affect OS X performance and operation.
Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac? These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary. They really aren't.
There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
Their potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
Plus, the software companies that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
It is best to never, EVER download and install these types of apps.
The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!
Search the web to learn how to correctly and properly uninstall these kinds of apps.
They all uninstall differently.

EMac won't start from optical drive

For no apparent reason, my eMac stopped recognizing the ethernet connection. So, after reading about this problem on the forums, I tried two suggestions: resetting the NVRAM and zapping the PRAM. This fixed the ethernet problem.
But, I now have a new problem. The eMac won't start up from the optical drive [hold C key during startup nor choosing disc in startup control]. The startup routine gets to the pale gray apple, but the little rotating spokes do not appear. Instead the gray apple seems to jump about a quarter inch to the right and it seems like a square image tries to appear. The routine freezes at this point and and the optical drive spins down. I have to unplug the eMac, and then restart from power button. At this point it starts up fine from the internal drive.
I tried zapping the PRAM again. I also removed the battery. There is no accessible PMU/CUDA button that I can find. At this point, I've run out of ideas.

Thanks for the further suggestions.
I tried the fsck and it reported no problems. I had my doubts that this was a source because the problem of not booting from superdrive came AFTER the NVRAM reset, which is fundamentally a hardware modification. I boot periodically from Panther install disc 1 to do a repair disc and permissions routine. When I couldn't do this after the NVRAM reset, I could only conclude that this tweek had some direct effect on the Mac's firmware-based start-up routines.
There is nothing physically wrong with the install discs, they work perfectly in my other emac as well as my two G4 towers. So, I'm still at a loss as to what to do next. I can't reload the OS. And, I can do any hardware diagnostics. So I guess it's a decision of whether or not to spend the big $$ for Apple repair. These are classroom macs, and we have no tech support or $$.

Webi base on BW query based on Infoset comes back with wrong values

Hello:
I have a Webi report on an OLAP Universe, on Bex Query.
The bex query is based on 1 INFOSET.
When I run the webi report the values that comes back a totally wrong values.
The correct results are not brought back.
When I do a test with crystal reports to the infoset, I can see the correct values. (I'm aware crystal uses different drivers).
The test is BW query designer, and crystal brings back proper values from Infoset based BW query.
Webi on Infoset based BW Query comes back with wrong data.
query is simple.
Pull in 3 attributes, 3 key figures, where componentkey = "111"
I get 36 rows in Crystal and 36 rows in Bex Analyzer, 36 rows in BW query designer (web analyzer).
I get many rows in webi (almost like a CARTENSIAN product).
I search a round this forum but still did not see a conclusive answer to this problem.
But I see another thread that several others faced this same issue without a resolution.
My environment.
BOE XI 3.1 SP2
No fix packs
SAP IK 3.1 SP2
HPUX-IA64
Thanks in advance for any help.
Dwayne

Was this problem ever solved?
I am having a similar problem with an infoset based query.
I have created the BW infoset, and confirmed that the correct data is returned from the underlying infoproviders. A simple BW query on that infoset yields the same results.
Create the universe, and then the WEBI, and WEBI now shows hundreds of records where I expect 10. Data is being returned in WEBI that definitely shouldn't be there. It's almost like the restrictions applied in the characteristic restriction area of my BW query are being ignored, even if I include them in the WEBI query.
Cheers,
Andrew

I have an ipod 8generation and i deleted all of my things to download a few shows then deleted them to get my things back but it wont let me it says i have no space. Why?

I have an ipod 8generation and i deleted all of my things to download a few shows then deleted them to get my things back but it wont let me it says i have no space. Why?

Hello,
Sometimes that you see something it saves in cache, (or could be that the show is in progress to be deleted) so here's the problem.
Just restart your device to see if the cache of the shows deletes themselves.
Then try to import your music again.
Cheers.
You can use this tool to quickly clean all the cache that needs to be deleted-
