G3 Monitor saying "out of range" after itunes upgrade - HELP PLEASE

I'm running a G3 with 512RAM. It has been running Panther totally reliably for a year. I upgraded to 10.3.9 and the G3 ran no problem. I upgraded to the latest Itunes, restarted the G3 and now after the tones the monitor turns black with the message "out of range" refering to the frequency setting. I can hear to G3 drive running but I cant progress beyond this message on the monitor. Please help...have I lost my G3 for ever? is there a safe mode I can start the G3 in? I have the Panther discs but I don't seem able to do anything to start this G3 now. Please help..I love this Mac, I dont want to loose it, don't mind loosing the data, but not the mac..any ideas..please

Refer to mac manual - Resetting the PRAM (parameter randon access memory).
Restart whilst holding Command/option/p/r keys and release after second tones. Suggest changing internal battery also.

  • G3 10.3.9 & Itune upgrade - monitor say "out of range" - Please Help

    Please help. I have G3 with 512Ram. I've been running Panther totally rialiably for a year and last night I decided to upgrade to 10.3.9 & the latest itunes. The 10.3.9 upgrade went fine and the G3 restarted and ran perfectly but after the itunes upgrade the G3 tries to restart but the monitor turns black after the start tones and comes up with the message "out of range" refereing to the frequences. I can't do anything to get past this message. Is there anyway I can get past this message to reset things? I have the Panther discs and I don't mind loosing my data but I don't want to loose my G3. Are there any keys or proceedures to get me back to square one? I've pressed every key on the keyboard & nothing happens. Please help...I love my G3

    Stay calm. This is a minor problem. Do not initialize your Hard drive.
    The message saying "out of range" comes DIRECTLY from your monitor, not from Mac OS X. But the reason it appears is that Mac OS X has become confused about what frequency your monitor should be running at. This often happens when the System Parameters -- stored in Parameter RAM and backed up with a small battery -- become corrupted.
    The corruption can happen "just because" or it can happen when the Backup battery is forced to work (by loss of main power) but is not strong enough to do the job. If you cannot remember when you last changed it, now is probably a good time.
    To get back in business, in the short run, you should reset the PRAM:
    2238- Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If a power fluctuation or outage precipitated this problem, the next time it happens will likely cause it again, so replace the 1/2 AA size 3.6 Volt non-recharging battery at your earliest convenience. More info here:

  • Monitor says "Out of Range"

    G3 Beige tower OS9 Monitor message"out of range"Then goes black.Battery changed.Hoping for a miracle,I use this setup for music,Studio vision Pro.

    Hi, George -
    The 'out of range' message indicates that the resolution setting being read for the monitor is one the monitor can not handle. This can result from someone fiddling with the monitor resolution settings, or possibly from a damaged prefs file.
    Have you tried booting to a CD?
    If you're using OS 9 on that machine, try using an OS 9 Install CD as the boot volume. If it boots successfully using that, then try throwing away these two preference files -
        Display Preferences (located loose in Preferences in System Folder)
        Monitor Preferences (located in a folder by the same name in Preferences in System Folder)
    - and then do a restart, zapping the PRAM in the process.
    If that works, it should reset the resolution to either 600x480 or 800x600. You can then reset the resolution to what you usually keep it at, followed by a shutdown (the shutdown is necessary to transfer the setting to PRAM).
    Occasionally the problem can exist in the monitor - some of those, especially CRT types, can have their own PRAM, and it can get bollixed or retain the wrong info. If your monitor has separate power and video cables, you can try resetting the PRAM in the monitor itself. To do this, power everything down, disconnect the video cable from the Mac. Then turn the monitor on, wait 15 to 20 seconds, then turn it off; wait about 10 seconds, then repeat the cycle, 3 or 4 times. Then reconnect the video cable and boot back up.

    Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

    When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

  • TS1453 after itunes upgraded to latest 11.0.2.26 apple tv (1st gen)does not show up anywhere in itunes

    After Itunes upgraded to latest version 11.0.2.26 Apple TV (1st gen) does not show up anywhere in Itunes

    I have the same problem. It was working fine up until the last update for iTunes 11.0.2
    Here's the details:
    I have an Apple TV - first Gen and up until a couple of weeks ago, was regularly playing sync'd iTunes music and videos through it on a daily basis.
    I see other devicess showing up in the "Devices" list in the left panel of iTunes (such as iPad, iPhone, etc.)
    AppleTV used to be there consistently, then disappeared upon update to 11.0.2
    Apple TV also does not show up in the devices tab under the Preferences window.
    I have tried multiple suggestions on the support forum but none have worked.
    Apple TV is able to access the network, is on the same network as the iMac with iTunes library connected. Both are connected to network via ethernet cable (not wifi). Both are able to access the internet (apple tv plays movie prieviews and gets updates). Using the Terminal app, I am able to ping the apple TV's IP number from the iMac and get a successful return. 
    Both have latest software downloads.
    I have tried cold-booting the apple TV, resetting the router, and verified in the router device list that both imac and appleTV are listed as active, un-blocked connections.
    I don't intend to buy an Apple TV 2nd gen or later (since I bought this one and it's not working now due to software update, what guarantee that a later model won't generate the same problem later.
    One last wrinkle, I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old who are jonesing hard for their "dance party" fix.
    Have you ever wronged a two year old?
    It is NOT pretty.
    Help me Apple-wan-kenobi...I can't take the screaming!

  • Hi we setup ISE in our lab. We have 2 PSN registered but one of the node is out of sync after I upgraded form 1.1 to 1.2

    Hi we setup ISE in our lab. We have 2 PSN registered but one of the node is out of sync after I upgraded form 1.1 to 1.2

    For out of sync issues, which most likely are due to time changes or NTP sync issues, you must correct the system time and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
    For certificate expiry issues, you must install a valid certificate and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
    For a node that has been down for more than six hours, you must restart the node, check for connectivity issues, and perform a manual sync up through the UI.

    That indicates a critical failure. It can not be fixed. The phone will need to be replaced.
    Often, this is the result of attempting to update a jailbroken phone.

    Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
    - If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:

    If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.
