G4 quicksilver won't start after disconnecting for 10 days.

Wemt on holiday for 10 days. Disconnected the mac from the wall. Just got back to find the start up button glows for a couple of seconds then dies. Is there a battery or something that has died. Any ideas?

Resetting the Logic Board
Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems. Whenever you have a
unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure
before replacing any modules.
1 Unplug the computer.
2 Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
3 Open the side access panel.
4 Remove the battery from the logic board.
5 Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
6 Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/-
direction.
7 Reassemble the computer and test the unit.
Note:
This procedure resets the computer’s PRAM. Be sure to
check the computer’s time/date and other system parameter settings

5th Gen Ipod won't start after setting for a day...

If I let my Ipod sit for more than a day or two after turning it off it will not start up but keeps displaying the folder icon with the support URL.
I try to reset it but it will not reset, it just keeps starting up and displaying the folder and then turns off.
The only way to get it to work is to plug it into an external charger (not my PC) and then it starts up OK.
Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is doing this?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Quicksilver won't start after crash

Intermediate Mac user with a significant problem...
So, my Quicksilver started having problems a few weeks ago - when I would startup, I would get a message saying I needed to restart the computer. After finally getting the Leopard install disk back (we had a family pack), I diagnosed and fixed the problem (it was an invalid leaf count, whatever that means). The computer ran fine again for a day or so, but soon after I sent the install disk away to my brother-in-law, I'd get the folder with the question mark when I tried to startup. After trying to hook it up to my MacBook as a Firewire drive or to use the Disk Utility that came with the MacBook install DVD for a few days, now the computer won't startup at all.
I tried zapping the PRAM but had no luck. At the Apple Store, they told me that the power supply was dead and that they no longer supported computers this old. I wouldn't be too hurt if the computer were dead (I was getting ready to replace it anyway), but I'd like to get the data without paying for a data recovery service if possible. So, here are my basic questions:
1. I made a Time Machine backup to an external drive when I upgraded to Leopard, but my External Drive filled up and I stopped the backup. However, I still have the Backups.backupdb folder on my External Drive. Is there anyway to extract the files to the External Drive or to my MacBook? (I also posted this in the Time Machine forum, but have not heard a reply yet).
2. What options do I have for recovering the data? Keep in mind that my power supply seems defunct. I discussed some options with my brother-in-law and he suggested buying an external partition for the drive (or something) - is this a good idea or is there a better solution out there?

You may have one or more fans that are not working. My Quicksilver recently would not start up. Two of three internal fans were dead (CPU fan and PSU fan). With only the case fan left to cool everything, the processors quickly became too hot to function reliably. Replacing both fans got the machine working again.
If the Apple employee who diagnosed your machine saw that the PSU fan was not turning, that may have led to a diagnosis that a new PSU was needed. But the PSU fan can be removed and replaced on its own, for perhaps 10% the cost of a new PSU.

Can anyone help - LR5.3 won't start after only 2 successful days!!

2 days ago installed LR5.3 trial on my new PC bought to run LR and CS6 - Win 7 Pro, Xeon E3-1230, 32gb memory, SSDs etc (the works).
Worked great for 2 days, cataloging a big trip, lots of adjustments made. Yesterday I found LR had unexplained errors and dropped/closed but I was able to restart it and my catalogs opened and allowed further actions, and all was well.
Now today the PC doesn't run LR5.3 from the desktop icons or from the .exe files which I locate via Explorer. I tried repair of LR5.3 from Adobe installer program - no improvement after the repair - and then did a full reinstall from the Adobe installer but again no recognition/operation of LR, either when I click on the desktop icon or go to the .exe files.
My other software (minimal, no conflicts there) works fine from the programs' exe files and my internet browsers are fine.
I now have brand new computer with no LR after two positive days.
Can anyone help out there?

Reply to Rikk and Geoff
Thank you. Went to .lrcat in WinExplorer and it opened and brought in all my previews and camera calibrations etc
Now I'll seek to remember whatever the preferences were.
2 Questions for you
1. Geoff the big catalog guy - if I decide to use one catalog I imagine it will be simple to import and merge other catalogs into the big catalog (probably 200k images to assemble into the catalog)
2. For both of you - given the weird location of the prefs, are there any other quirks I need to remember in my backup regime - I already have my lrcat and lrdata (previews) as well as images on another backup pc. anything else I should be offline backingup?

InDesign CS4 won't start after installing for first time. Other CS4 applications are fine.

Hello,
I have Adobe CS4 applications installed except for InDesign. Today I tried to install it on a windows 7 64bit machine with my other Adobe products. When I try to start it nothing happens. I can see the application running in the task manager but nothing starts. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling it but still nothing. I saw on the forums to remove preferences but there's no folder related to that my guess is due the fact that it never ran for the first time. The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling everything and then reinstalling all Adobe products. I would rather not have to do that. Thanks in advance.

Acrobat won't start after Reader for Palm OS

That's basically the problem. I can't open any PDF files since I got Adobe Reader for my new Treo running the Palm OS. It's ver 3.05, Build20030829. Should I uninstall Reader, or is there something I'm missing?

I have Acrobat 7.09 Professional. When I try to launch, I immediately get a message box that says:
"The application Acrobat quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other application are not affected.
Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report
to see more details or send a report to Apple.
{Three Buttons} Close Report... Reopen"
I have clicked them all, sent a report to Apple, tried to reopen. The same thing happens whether I open Acrobat directly, thru the dock or opening a PDF.
I'm a designer trying to get stuff done, and my frustration level is rising.

C3-01 won't start after charging

I'm so angry right now but I will try and be cool about this!
I bought C3-01 mobile phone about four months ago and it is already causing me problems.
The mobile phone simply won’t start after charging. Last time i charged it, it miraculously came to life only, and only after annoying me for about hour and a half. Now I fear it is completely dead!
Battery was not completely empty so the phone should still start even if the wall socket is broken. Which is not, wall socket works perfectly.
Nothing helps! I tried removing the battery and then restart. Removing the battery then removing the sim card, memory card and that piece of “advanced technology” simply won’t start!
I didn’t buy my new phone so that I can use my old Motorola mobile, which btw., still works after 4 years of intense usage.
I will never buy Nokia again!

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your phone is not starting after charging.
I would suggest one more thing, which maybe helps. If you have another battery, please try.
If not, i would recommend to visit Nokia Care Point in your area.
To find your nearest Nokia Care Point, visit http://www.nokia.com/support and select the Repair page.

Mac Mini won't start after installing OS X 10.6.3

My Mac Mini won't start after installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3. When I turn it on, the Apple logo appears and the initialization line starts to fill, but it suddenly stops. It does that again and stops at the same point, but this time it shuts down. What should I do?

If you are coming from 10.5.8, hopefully you backed up your important data first. Your mini will need at minimum, 1 GB of RAM to install Snow Leopard and at least 5 GB of storage remaining on your boot drive.
I treat 10.6.3 as a fresh, full install over a 10.5.8 system. That means I choose Disk Utility from the Installer's menu and repartition the boot drive as a single partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) format, and use the GUID partition scheme from the options button. At this point, while still in Disk Utility, I would verify the drive under First Aid.
Then I turn the installer loose, and reboot into a working 10.6.3 system, ready for the software updates that take the machine to 10.6.8.
So, following the above guidelines, reinstall 10.6.3.

Assistant NET8 and DBCA won't start after installation HELP

HEllo,
I've installed oracle 9.01 and later on 8.1.7 i cannot use the assistants net 8 and dbca after installation. Does anybody have the same problem. I think is has something to do with jre versions.
I alse got the same problem when i installed db9.0 and oracle appserver 1.2.2.2 on the same machine. SOme config assistant won't start after install.
ALready tnx.
Francus

Hello, yogendra k saini
I'd installed oracle90 and 1.2.2 in different oracle homes. There was no error message. When i pressed the icon. Nothing happens.
Yesterday i installed also a 8.1.7 database on the same machine as the 9.0.1.4 database. After a reinstallation of appserv 1.2.2a everything seems to work fine.
but it is still a mystery for me why, because when i only install a 9.0.1.4 database and appserv 1.2.2.2 something goes wrong. Maybe APpserv 1.2.2. doesn't work fine with 9.0 database. That's not exactly true because i used appserv 1.2.2 for forms en reports...

Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

Safari won't start, after installing X Lion

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

E5 won't start after multitasking freeze

hi,
my E5 is shut itself afer using Opera Web + music + Palringo
i can't turn it on after, i need to wait for about 4 hours or more before starting it = it as soft reseted alone but how can i accelerate the process if i can't even turn it back on !
ps : nokia review advice for nokia E5 don't buy it ... go to Blackberry if you can !

December 21, 2010
To whom it may concern:
/t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/E5-won-t-start-after-multitasking-freeze/m-p/840827
The thread looks familiar to me. I just came from Nokia Care Center a while ago and left my Nokia E5-00 phone there with the same problem as everyone else on the thread.
I am from the Philippines and my Nokia E5-00 was made in Korea, sent to Hong Kong, and then sold here in the Philippines. That is a lot of cost saving activities to do.
I previously had my first Nokia E5-00 a week ago, Monday. It felt like I am the happiest man in the Philippines. You know, the "I have a Smartphone!" proud feeling of a young man.
But all excitements turned into saddening experience. My contacts are not accessible from theMenu and the Shortcut (default: right selection key) making it inconvenient to create a message or call a contact.
That was a different issue. So I made my phone replaced and last Sunday, 2 days ago, I had my new Nokia E5-00 unit.
Yey!
The contacts were good as all other applications were.
Then, I started having problems as everyone else in the thread experienced. The phone had a bad restart habit and it was, in fact, irritating. It was tolerable at first. Not bad for a replacement phone. I was not much bothered with the restarts.
Then, I was able to start utilizing GPS, like I would get lost. It was an amazing experience for someone here in the Philippines. I was proud to have a good working GPS in my phone!
But, unluckily, 30 minutes after the fun. I set my phone to go back to work and WALAH! My phone shuts down after transferring some files. Good thing my Nokia E5-00 finished all transfers before dying out.
It was not quite the Nokia Smartphone I expected. And, that was really disappointing. Thank you im_mobile for the term.
I did not expect to see these much people complaining problem with Nokia E5-00. Same as everyone else experienced.
How should Nokia fix this? I am not in the position to say this, but Nokia should (1) recall these defective Nokia E5-00 products (Thanks magnum_jon) and (2) replace all defective units from unsatisfied customers.
I think Nokia will not get hurt from returned phones. In fact, they will have the benefit of immediately finding out what the problem is and they will be able to fix this immediately if they get all of our defective Nokia E5-00 units. They can (1) isolate the problem, (2) test as many phones as they want, (3) find out the problem and (4) make a happy customer.
These much claims is not tolerable. This is degrading Nokia. I believe Nokia has seen much already, and I am hoping that by the time they read my post, it would be the last.
And the next reply to this thread would be a happy customer with a newly replaced, non-defective, Nokia device.
Thanks,
Eljun Pacomios.
