G4 not starting up/loading

Hi all
Would appreciate some help from the experts out there.
I gave my daughter my old G4 when I bought a MBP. Has been working fine until she inserted a CD that got stuck. While the CD was stuck the G4 would not get passed the 'flower". I assumed that was because the G4 was trying to read from the CD. Looking through the posts on here I found the "Stuck CD" post and carried out the procedure as the note said and the CD ejected. Wonderful.
On trying to switch on again I get the Apple and the Flower and nothing but the Apple and Flower. I have tried resetting the PRAM and doing a Safe boot to no avail. I still get just the Apple and the Flower.
I am thinking of trying to reboot from the Install Disks but am nervous they might get stuck too.
Anyone know of another method or key sequence that might help, or should I just bite the bullet and try the Install disks?
Thanks all

You can reset the Power Management Unit (PMU) which can prevent startup if it becomes scrambled: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431 .

  • HT4839 the  iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6/2.2 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.

    Hello.
    the  iPhone Configuration Utility 3.6 for Windows will not start up/load anymore.
    It worked fine at first, then I tried to start it up today and I got an error:
    failed to create an ipc port access is denied
    Now there is no message at all. Just wont launch.
    I find NO support at Apple. I have seen about 20 other cries for help on these forums and no seems to have received any help for this. Does anyone know how to get this Utility working?
    I am using Windows XP SP3
    I have tried upgrdading to .NET 4 SP1 from .NET 3.5 SP1 and that didnt work so went back the other way and still no change.
    I tried completely uninstalling and deleting all references in Regedit and reinstalling from the start about 4 times.
    I tried completely uninstalling and then going back to an older version (2.2) and it doesn't work either.
    Unfortunately there is no help on Apply that I can find and trying to find an -actual email support for Apple software or products is a joke- (man, nothing is more aggravating when you need product help and the provider hides or completely does away with any way to contact them for help ro sends you on an hour long search for it...)
    I need to get this working as I am providing an easy iphone configure for my VPN service. Can anyone help?
    THanks!!

  • Applications not starting or loading

    Seems odd my safari, mail adobe reader apps do not open at all. The mail icon will jump up but will not load anything. Any ideas. Seems strange mostly apple apps. Is there an app or something that opens these and is not working.

    It does the same thing even in a brand new user account?
    Try rebuilding the Launch Services database. You can do that by opening Terminal and copying and pasting these three lines all at the same time, and then pressing return:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\
    Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister \
    -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    You could also give your system a thorough hosing down. Try downloading OnyX and running all of the maintenance and cleaning tasks.

    I understand that you got 2 Windows updates, during the installation of the second one the computer froze. After 1 hour you removed the battery and reinstalled it.
    Now when you try to power it on you get a blank or black screen with no error messages. The wireless light is lit for about 30 seconds before it powers itself down.
    There has been some Windows updates that have been causing an issue.
    Would you boot into Safe Mode and uninstall these updates.
    KB2982791, KB2970228,  KB2975719 and KB2975331.
    The other one that is suspected of causing this issue is the "Search Protect" software.
    If you check under programs and it is listed, please uninstall it.

    Hi,
    You are right, JSPM will not start with server0 down. And server0 will not come up with SAP JVM not updated.
    Perhaps you could try a manual update of the SAP JVM as mentioned in the thread:

    Hope it helps.

  • On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

    On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
    It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

    The [c:set|http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/jstl/1.1/docs/tlddocs/index.html] tag is used to set a scoped attribute not request parameter. So when you write

Also since you are using a random userid, you might end up with multiple users with the same ID and IDs are generally supposed to be unique...

    Dear Jean,
    Hope you are doing good.
    Not much investigation can be done with:
    Loading: ThreadManager returned false!
    Kernel not loaded. System halted.
    Just retrigger a server restart and then check the below logs. You will definitely find more information on the error:
    /usr/sap/<SID>/work/ dev, std and jvm*
    and
    /usr/sap/<SID>/JC<nr>/j2ee/cluster/server0/logs/default trace (latest).
    Thank you and have a nice day :).

    iMac will not start following OS X 10.9.4 update - takes 30 minutes to load with spinning wheel and progress bar and then when it appears to be finished it powers off?
