Any ideas on saving data

Do you have any other Firewire compatible Macs?

  • Having problem with hp computer freezing up and rebooting? have already updated video drivers

    I having problem with HP Slimline Desktop with AMD Vision, freezing up and rebooting, and will sometimes show horiztonal lines across the screen, making screen unreadable. Have had problem for a few weeks, I have already checked with HP tools hard drive and video display both check out, and have I restored the system back to its orginal version by using partion drive and, none seems to help get rid of the freezing and rebooting of PC. Any thought what need to look at?

    Hi julianrpoma,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear what you mean when you say you cannot access it, and/or how a new iPhone was set up with an old account. If your Apple ID/iCloud account is now different, you may want to try changing the iCloud settings, as well as any other Apple ID settings, as outlined in the following article (apologies if that is what you are currently doing):
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you are still having issues, as this is a new iPhone you may want to try restoring it to factory settings and setting it up as new, including your correct updated account information:

    Hi there,
    Sounds like a hardware issue ! Still if you want to try then use BBSAK or JL_Cmder to wipe your device then load a fresh OS pack .Or first be sure that your battery is good enough then try those steps again :

    3) The Application Loader Wizard will appear -- click "Next."
    4) In the "Connection:" drop-down menu, you should see "USB-PIN: UNKNOWN". Click the "Next" button.
    5) You should then see a list of applications ready to be installed for your Blackberry. Hit Next and Finish and you are well on your way to getting your Blackberry back to life. Congrats! Just don't disconnect anything and let the lengthy process finish completely.
    NOTE: If you do not see a list of applications mentioned in step 5 and instead see the message "The Blackberry Desktop Software does not have Blackberry Device Software for the device that you have connected to the computer. Contact your wireless service provider or system administrator," then you must download Blackberry's Operating System for your carrier and device.  BlackBerry Software Download Site
    Just select the appropriate carrier and network type, select your Blackberry model from the list and download the latest version. Install this download and follow the above steps again and you should be on the right path.

  • Iphoto freezes when trying to upload pics

    When I am working from an internet site and trying to upload pics ie; Facebook or my website, iphoto will freeze and I have to force quit safari and all my work is lost.
    I have updated my software, and that doesn't seem to have helped.
    When I am just in iphoto directly it works fine.
    What do I do?

    It doesn't sound like you are actually in iPhoto. The way you can tell is, when you are doing whatever it is you do and the computer "freezes", look in the upper left corner right next to the Apple. What does it say?
    It sounds like Safari is the program having issues.
    Try going to the Safari Menu > Reset Safari. Uncheck the options for Remove other auto... and Remove Saved Names...
    See if that helps.

  • Hp scanjet - freeze- only dvd reboot

    When I flip the switch to start the scanjet 4850, the computer freezes. I thought that it was a software problem with a application that I had open, such as, Quark or Photoshop. Yesterday it froze the computer and I had quit all of the open applications, leaving only the operating system active. Also, the computer will not reboot, you have to startup with the Macintosh DVD in the drive to start the computer. And then restart the computer, which only works if you turn off the scanjet switch on the scanjet 4850.
    Any suggestions as to what is happening or what to do, other that buy a different scanner that HP?
    Thanks

    Hi -- I was looking to see if someone else has had this problem.
    I recently upgraded to 10.4.9, and since then I have found a problem with my HP Scanjet 4850 (which previously was working perfectly under 10.4.7). With the scanner connected via USB, if I turn on the scanner I get (sometimes, but not always - I've replicated it three times out of four) a complete freeze -- no mouse response, no keyboard response. The only way out of this is to just press and hold the powerbutton (all other key combinations do not work, even control + command + power button fails to work, I guess because the keyboard is just not working anymore). It seems to be switching on the HP scanner which does this.
    I was using the HP Scanjet 4850 under 10.4.x-10.4.7 with no issues at all. I certainly had no problem turning it on (or off) whilst connected to a booted and logged-in G5. (This makes sense to me in terms of general Mac behaviour with peripherals, and since I only use the scanner occasionally it doesn't make sense to turn it on every time I want to boot up). So this is definitely a problem that is new since I upgraded to 10.4.9.
    I thought it might be a problem with the upgrade itself, but I am now extremely careful (to the point of paranoia) when I do upgrades -- I download the combo, I run disk utility and Yasu beforehand, even run disk repair from the startup DVD, then boot in Safe mode before running the combo package. So I think this is an issue with 10.4.9 itself and its compatibility with the Scanjet 4850. The fact that others have found the same issue reassures me that it is perhaps 10.4.9 itself rather than my particular update procedure that is to blame.
    The first time it happened, like you, I used the Tiger DVD to do a disk repair. The G5 is basically working OK now, but I will have to avoid using the scanner.
    Weirdly, I have managed to turn on the scanner once (since this happened) without the freeze-up happening -- I have no idea why.
    Maybe HP will update the software. So far it seems no updates are available.
    If anyone else is having this problem and has any ideas, let us know!
    Thanks.

  • G4 freezes and wont reboot

    Hi I've just bought a G4 off ebay - I got it Saturday and tried it for the first time yesterday. It has OSX Leopard operating system newly installed by seller. It started ok but kept freezing i.e. - showing the coloured spinning wheel even when I wasn't working on Ibook taking ages to come back to life eventually it froze completly. So I had to manually turn it off by switch now it won't reboot. you hear the apple gong then it goes to a black screen for about 3mins then it goes to grey screen with little apple logo and the grey spinning wheel it stays like this for about 5 mins or more then it automatically switches to black screen and attempts of its own accord to boot again only to repeat the above.
    Can anyone help in simple terms as I'm new to apple's!!
    Thanks

    This is not good news--it may mean that your hard drive is failing. I don't know if this is something that can be repaired with something like Disk Warrior or not.
    There are really quite a few problems with this iBook. It sounds like you may not have gotten the full set of the original CD's. I don't know how many came with it originally. It sounds like you did not get a Leopard disc even though Leopard was said to be installed. It makes me wonder if the Leopard OS was even legally installed. You may have a failing hard drive. And there may be other issues.
    Did you buy this iBook as a working computer, or did you know in advance that there were issues with it? Something like the "fatal hardware error" should have been disclosed. Any known problems should have been disclosed, and it sounds like maybe they were not.
    At this point, you need to decide if you want to try to fix this iBook or consider returning it to the seller for a refund. If the hard drive cannot be repaired, you will have to replace it. Disk Warrior costs around $100 US. You may also have to purchase a replacement set of the original CD's, and if you want Leopard, probably a Leopard disc. You could call Apple with your serial number and find out how many discs there should be and see whether or not you have all of them and what any replacement discs would cost.
    Also, 512MB is a little light for running Leopard--more RAM would be better. I don't know what version of OSX came on this iBook--it could be 10.3 (Panther) or 10.4 (Tiger). It should say on the install discs assuming they are the right ones for this machine. This machine should run Tiger with no problems. But it would probably be most cost effective to get the iBook running on whatever its original OS is and then decide whether to upgrade.
    To get the CD out of the drive, try starting up and holding down the mouse key when you hear the start up chime. It should just pop out.
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but as a newcomer to Apple, you deserve to have a working machine that you can enjoy. This is not what you have at the moment. Think it over, and if you want to go ahead with trying to get this iBook to work, please post back. But it may make more sense to return this one and get a refund and then buy a different machine.
    Good luck!

  • Lightroom 3 Causes Wacom driver to freeze, requires cold reboot

    Machine is;
    i7 975
    24GB ram
    ATI HD 5770 graphics within monitor running 2560*1600 @ 60hz
    120GB SSD for windows and programs
    4 x 1TB HDD in RAID 10 for data on Highpoint rocket raid card
    Win 7 64 Ultimate
    Wacom Intuos 3 18*12 digitising tablet Driver version 6.1.6-5 and the three previous versions equally.
    No other mouse, tablet only for all applications.
    The pointer movement freezes in Lightroom 3.0 and 3.2 after some use, no particular sequence or time frame. More often than not in the Develop Module while scrolling the film strip with the scroll wheel on the tablet cursor. Sometimes 10 minutes sometimes an hour of use.
    I exit Lightroom 3.2 by Alt-F Alt-X. Cursor operation does not return. I shutdown the computer with keyboard commannds.
    The cursor freeze is system wide and requires a cold reboot to return to normal operation.
    The issue occurs with no other programs. Lightroom 2.6 has NO issue with the tablet on the same machine and drivers and everything else.
    Lightroom 3 or 3.2 is the only problem program out of cad, office and other typical apps.
    I see other threads crashing Lightroom, but Lightroom still responds to keyboard commands in my case.
    It appears the wacom driver is being hung by Lightroom.
    On the tablet is a normally on blue LED that blinks off for button presses of the cursor. Once frozen no LED blinks happen for the cursor button presses.
    Regards
    John

    John,
    Thanks for the pointers.
    The driver version 6.1.6-5 is the very latest released only a couple days ago.
    As you suggest in your linked thread, I have now set TabletServiceWacom to Restart the Service for all failures.
    I'll post back within a week one way or the other.
    Regards
    John

  • Freeze and random reboot. HELP!

    I'm going to try to keep this short as it is a long story.
    Recently I reformatted my hard drive and installed Windows XP Professional. After the installation I realized that I do not have the drivers for some of the hardware. I installed all latest drivers off their webpages but only one problem. Now the computer randomly freezes (more likely to freeze if IE or Mozilla is opened) and sometimes on rare occasion will reboot itself. I've searched and checked everywhere and found only little information. Possibly the video cards driver is too new or too old, P/S, general driver defaults, etc, etc. With the help of SIW I found that the P/S and temperatures are all normal, so that can be rulled out. My questions are; Has anyone had this type of problem or know how it can be resolved? And also, could it be possible for my RAM cards to be at fault for the freezing or rebooting?
    Here is my setup:
    Asus Desktop
    AMD Athlon 62 3200+ Processor
    MSI K8N Neo MS-7030 VER. 1 Mainboard
    ATI Radeon 9550 Series AGP 256M Video Card
    again... O/S is Windows XP Pro

    Hang in there, these problems can be very hard to diagnose.  Trust me, I know.  I'm having some very similar ones.
    Disable automatic reboot in System Properties\Advanced\Performance\Advanced.  This allows you to see the BlueScreen information before you manually reboot.
    Try uninstalling all the drivers you recently installed.  Install different versions of the drivers, either older or newer, one at a time.  Test things thoroughly in between.  Try to document exactly what you were doing and what was loaded when you have the failure.  If you get a Blue Screen, write down all the information.
    Post back.

  • Droid X: random pauses and freezing (but no reboots)

    This is my first Android phone.  The phone frequently stops responding to touch inputs for several seconds at a time.  It can be in the middle of typing (usually using Swype), or navigating through the Home screen, or interacting with an app.  The physical buttons always react immediately, but the touch screen does not.  Is this considered normal?  It's pretty annoying.
    I'm running system 1.13.604.MB810.Verizon.en.US, firmware 2.1-update1

    Alright People There are more users out there having the issue. My guess is they are not savy enough to post or dont realize the reboots, caus eit literally only takes 30 sec to reboot, unlike BB tour. So it may not be as apparent. Also other not I just spent 3hrs today back and forth with Verizon an Moto to resolve yet again another rebooting issue with My x. And ladies and Gents this is my second x I will soon have a 3rd. My 1st had issues with in the first week, the second last about a month. Lets seee how long the 3rd lasts. I get it next week. For Moto engineer readers. My phone has 3 apps installed. One game from market ( Robo Defense) google maps and auto task. Im also experienced with both phones gps droping and having to retart phone manually to find a sat as well as screen freezing and locking sometimes to the point of needing reboot. My 3g hot spot sometimes needs a reboot to work. It seems to get caught in a loop, I cant remember what happens exactly but a reboot is needed to resolve. What else, oh I use the phone costantly more than most I travel aalot and its constantly charging so I can be intouch with clients via email, sms, web interface as well of a course a phone voice. The phone sits in a silicon case for protection and I have a holster (leather) to put it in. Its in sometimes the phone gets warm. I also have noticed when the phone is just running sys files the ram is way to high and this concerns me maybe its overheated possibly cap issue not really sure. If there is a developer that cares about makin those that are having continuing issue just reply. I also apreciate u increasing the vol settings cause they are horribly low. Also not u should increase the alarm volume as well as many users use there phone as an alarm clock these days, if thats not already adressed under speaker volume and ringtones. Thanks

  • MBP totally freezes - need to reboot

    Ever since upgrading to OS 10.6 my (2008) MBP keeps totally freezing (often during the night) and I need to reboot. There have been a few other posts on this topic (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10308344#10308344) but it doesn't look like anyone has posted any solutions.
    Can you help?
    Some details on my setup:
    1. I have iWork, Skype, Keyboard Maestro installed.
    2. I used to have Chax and iStat but have uninstalled these thinking they may be causing a problem, but its still freezing.
    3. I am backing up to Time Capsule.
    4. My Time Capsule did have an external drive attached; I have unplugged this to see if it makes a difference.
    I've checked Console, but it doesn't seem to offer any insight (this is last night's just before it crashed):

  • Treo 755P from TELUS freezes and/or reboots when using bluetooth headset

    My treo 755P has worked fine for almost a year. I recently purchased a Motorola H870 headset.  Since then the phone freezes up and/or reboots several times a day. Sometimes when I am dialing and sometimes apparently randomly.  I have worked with my provider, TELUS, but have no resolution. I am using the latest Palm desktop software and I have tried a hard reset on the phone.  Any other ideas??
    Thanks.

    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.  Lets put things in order here:
    1- got 755p and worked fine for almost a year
    2- purchased Motorola H870 and 755p starts freezing.
    Bottom line here is that you 755p worked find until the H870 was introduced.  This headset is not on Palms bluetooth compatibility list.  For the list see this link:   http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/nua/launchKB.asp?c=44829 .
    I would recommend that you do a hard reset and do not sync or use the H870 for atleast 24hrs.  If the 755p works fine that will confirm the H870 is the problem.  If your still having the problem then you will need to look at a repair/replacment. 

Maybe you are looking for
