G4 Mirror, no power at all even for the Apple 15" LCD display
I bought an used G4 Mirror along with the matching Apple 15 LCD display.
The problem is that it won't power up at all. Not even a hint of fan noise or a light indication.
Funny thing was that it was working fine when it was at the seller's home.
I did everything from replugging every connections possible such as the internal power cables, data cables, resitting the CPU, hard drive, graphic card, etc. I even pressed the power botton hard for longer time but it didn't work.
One thing I've noticed is that the touch sensitive lighted switch located on the Apple LCD monitor isn't lighting up when connected to the G4 via ADC connection. Also, the touch switch is not responsive to the touch at all.
The G4 won't power up without the monitor as well.
Does it mean that I have a dead power supply?
Thanks.
Thank you all.
I forgot to mention that I did place a brand new PRAM battery as well.
I also checked the RAM and just about everything else I could imagine.
I'm not completely clueless with the PC troubleshooting as I do build PC time to time. But this Mac is dead as a log when the power switch is pressed on.
I have another beige Mac that has no trouble booting up without the PRAM battery. I have a PC that will boot even without the battery, RAM, graphic card, CPU, fans, etc.
I haven't had a chance to buy the multimeter yet. But I too am suspicious about the PSU. I even opened up the PSU but I saw no blown capacitors, burnt transistors or anything that looks abnormal. Is there a website where they can DIY fix Mac Mirror PSU?

When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Any 'Power On' button for the Apple Pro keyboard?
Any 'Power On' button for the Apple Pro keyboard?
It is possible to boot the Mac mini without pressing its rear power button? There is a handy 'Power On' button for the Apple Keyboard named 'i-Cue' (see below), but it no longer works with the new Macs (G5 and Mactel).
A shame that Apple removed the power button of their keyboards years ago. So, what I am looking for is something similar to this, but working with the new Macs:
USB Boot Dongle (i-Cue) for Mac
Allows you to work with your G3 or G4 mini tower hidden out of the way
You can have your Mac under the desk, yet it can be easily turned on from the keyboard position. Simply clips on to the Apple Pro Keyboard
Includes 1.8m pass-through USB cable.

Thanks.To do this, though, it would require that you just
switch off the power to the Mac rather than going
through it's shutdown procedure. Pulling the power on
a running computer may cause all sorts of problems
and should be avoided unless it's absolutely
necessary to do it.
I'd agree with that most certainly - though the old G4 would allow itself to be shut down and then have the remote power switch thrown. I've not had reason to test whether a mini would, or would simply immediately attempt a restart.
Thanks for jumping in though to make that point - it's crucial not to overlook the dangers of improper shutdowns. -
[svn] 3048: Always map urls through the rootURL property, even for the non-proxy case.
Revision: 3048
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-08-29 15:40:17 -0700 (Fri, 29 Aug 2008)
Log Message:
Always map urls through the rootURL property, even for the non-proxy case. This might
change the behavior slightly if you set rootURL on HTTPService for the non-proxy case
as that would have been ignored in the current code path but it seem less consistent.
If rootURL is not set, it defaults to the swf's URL which should give the same relative
URL semantics we get today by default when rootURL is not set.

flex/sdk/trunk/frameworks/projects/rpc/src/mx/rpc/http/AbstractOperation.asOf the second and third scripts, the latter could perhaps be deemed the "most secure"; however, it might block more than you want. If you really want to use one of those, then I'd suggest using the second script. Otherwise, I'd recommend that you take a look here. (I only slightly examined the first script.... I do not understand the language of the comments, and I'm no iptables whiz. )
Also, note that you don't have to use an actual script to set up the rules; rather, you can save the rules you want to a file that will be read by iptables automatically (/etc/iptables/iptables.rules). Here's a modified version of mine:
# /etc/iptables/iptables.rules
# These rules (and the commented instructions) derived from:
# http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=159661
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [163:50538]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [40:2451]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [40:2451]
COMMIT
*filter
:INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
:FIREWALL - [0:0]
:TRUSTED - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j FIREWALL
-A FORWARD -j DROP
-A FIREWALL -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FIREWALL -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A FIREWALL -j TRUSTED
-A FIREWALL -j DROP
# put your own exceptions here, like so (replacing <tcp/udp> with either "tcp" or
# "udp" -- minus the quotes -- and <port number> with the port you'd like to open):
# -A TRUSTED -p <tcp/udp> -m <tcp/udp> --dport <port number> -j ACCEPT
COMMIT
Of course, there are benefits to keeping the rules in a script. For instance, you could then easily set the default iptables rules, allow all traffic, etc. Plus, some firewall-related things (such as the various echo commands in the scripts you provided) cannot (to my knowledge) be done by iptables alone.
If you already have a script that sets up the rules you would like to use, you can save yourself the hassle of creating a rules file by following the directions outlined here.

I have an external server that stores all my movies and music, is there a way to stream it to my apple tv?
If not is there a way I can link the folders to itunes (without downloading files to computer) that will make them view-able for the apple TV?
If none of that works is there a way to get it working alternativly?
Additional Information:
Everything is linked via ethernet cable.
I'm using a PC to set it up.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll help where I can.
Thank you for any help(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -
Yours sincerely! I just bought a Sony DCR-SD1000 camera only when installing the cd drivers not supported by the operating system Machintosh. I've contacted the seller said the store did not provide for the apple os. How can I move all the files on the camera the port out is to use a USB data cable to a laptop for my macbookpro can not read the contents of the file and the camera. I also want to use the lens on the camera as a substitute for the embedded camera on my macbookpro, what should I do to replace the embedded camera on macbookpro with sony camera so that the camera could be more variety and can I record when I turned macbookpro . Please help for this so that I can quickly capture the results from sony camera to my macbookpro. Thank you.
See this page http://macosx.com/forums/networking-compatibility/296947-sony-camcorder-my-mac.h tml - might be some helpful tips there.

My ipod touch has been disabled for 212,456,875 minutes! I have followed all instructions on the apple support site to restore it but this has not worked. Help!
Without know exactly what you did or what happened:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
I bough a Mac Pro 2010 second hand and deleted all the files without backing up now is asking me for the Apple ID of the person who installed maverick,any ideas
If the Mac's firmware was updated, you can try this Internet Recovery:
Hold down Command + Option + R during restart or bootup; hold until you see a spinning globe (takes up to 10 minutes). Once in the Utilities window, use Disk utility to wipe the drive, then return to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. If that works, the OS will be installed without being tied to an Apple ID.
FWIW, if the firmware was updated, you will not be able to use the Snow leopard disk to install - I just did several tests and it does not work. You can, however, possibly install the SL onto an external drive and then clone it to the internal or (if you have a clone), boot from that and clone it back - I just tested that as well.
If the firmware was not updated, then you can use the SL install disk. -
I can't install and update any application, even for the free app the system ask me to sign in to the billing payment. Even though that I did sign, it still declined. Any one could help, please
All Apple iTunes Store accounts must have a valid form of payment set up. Even for free apps and updates. The Payment Declined message comes from your card issuer or payment source; Apple is just a pass-through for the message. You need to find out why your issuer is declining your card.

I am not a knowledgeable user - have what may be a stupid question! I just purchased a TV show series on iTunes and downloaded all episodes for the season. But I believe i want them on my iCloud instead of my laptop. How do I transfer them to the Cloud or duplicate on the iCloud?
You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item. -

Thanks.You can't do it via USB because USB doesn't provide that function. When the computer is off, there is no power on the USB, so nothing connected to the USB can do anything when the computer is off. Earlier Macs that had this function used a modified USB. Newer Macs use standards USB, probably starting with the introduction of USB 2.0 to the Mac.
Why not put the Mac to sleep, instead of shutting it down? The power consumption is about the same, and you can wake it from the keyboard. -

I recently upgraded to Verizon Fios Quantum high speed internet and was given an ActionTec router. I sucessfully installed all and connected wth my Apple TV. Although it worked initially it no longer does. Something appears to be blocking the Homesharing between my PC and the AppleTV even though the Apple TV is successfully connected to my home network. I spoke with an Apple Support Tech who was unable to help me becuase I have a PC! He admitted this is a common problem with FIOS and PCS. There must be a port that needs to be opened in the router. I do not beleive it is anything to do with my antivirus software or Windows Defender as i uninstalled all and still not communication. Must be a port within the routter that is blocking tis communication. On my Itunes you can see that it does not see the Apple TV. Please advise.
I'd have to agree. I set my vms and two clients on Saturday in one hour. I think the picture is better I did not see an issue with the brightness. For the heck of it I recorded five channels at once to test it. I've also noticed when playing a recorded show on the client everything responds a lot quicker. So I am impressed and curious to see what new features come later.
Kudos to verizon.
