G5 comes up with Disk Insertion Error

My G5 will mount CDs and software DVDs without a problem but now when I insert a film DVD I get the 'Disk Insertion Error' and the disk won't mount. The disk appears when I run the Disk Utility but I can't do anything with it.
Help!!!!!

HI Tom,
The error message that you are receiving indicate that your notebook is attempting to boot from the LAN connection rather than from its own hard drive or CD-ROM. I suggest you check that the boot sequence is correctly specified in your BIOS, or alternatively press F12 during your power on and you should get the boot device sequence menu appear so that you can specify that you want to boot from your hard drive.
regards,

750GB Seagate External Drive - Disk Insertion error

I have two 750 GB Seagate External hard drives, which are daisy chained to my PowerMac G5. I was transfering files between external hard drives, when all of a sudden the computer crashed. Once I restarted, the computer gave a disk insertion error:
Disk Insertion
The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
The options are: "Initialize..." "Ignore" and "Eject"
One of the external hard drives is fine, the one which was directly hooked up to the computer. However, the drive that was daisy chained still gives this error. I have tried connecting the drive to another mac, but it still gave this error. I also tried connecting it to a PC, and it was detected, but it did not show up under "My Computer."
Is there a way that I could save or re-format the hard drive WITHOUT loosing the data?
Please let me know. This is very urgent. I have a lot of important data on the hard drive. Any help/ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hello! Sometimes a large file transfer will lock or crash a computer. With a crash or hard restart the disk's directory is damaged and if disk utility can't repair it then DISKWARRIOR is about the only utility that can fix the problem. The data usually isn't gone. The disk's directory (road map) of where every piece of info is located on the drive has become corrupt hence there's nothing for it to find. Diskwarrior is the best utility for repairing the directory. Regular use of DW will prevent "most" disk problems as it's the directory that gets messed up rather than a physical problem with the disk in most cases. In cases where DW can't fix the problem DataRescue II can sometimes recover valuable data. Tom

How do I resolve a disk Insertion error?

Hello and thank you,
I recently upgraded my G4 to The tiger OS. All went smooth during the upgrade but, when the computer restarted both of my 17.1 gb quantum Atlas hard drives went missing and I received two disk insertion errors. I selected initialize but was unable to select any options in the disk utilities. Both hard drives still appear.
I decided to restarted my computer but this time my mac froze on the gray screen and told me to restart once more. I shut it down unplugged all cables and disconnected the hard drives thinking these where the problem and powered up. I saw a file folder with a question mark then it operated as normal.
After some experimenting I've deduced that when both hard drives are connected the G4 will freeze at the gray screen 75% of the time. If both Hard drives are not connected the machine will run fine with the exception of showing the question mark file.
Is there a way to have my mac recognize the two hard drives or is tiger not compatible with these hard drives?

To cure the question mark at startup problem...
System Preferences>Startup Disk, then select your boot drive.
What kind of cases are these drives in? FW, USB, Internal, Other?

Cannot load individual websites; Googling is fine, but URL comes up with a 404 error.

Since I updated Firefox, it seems my internet connectivity in that browser has dropped. I can Google things (not in the URL box, but in the Google box) perfectly, with the exception that sometimes the link clicked from Google doesn't load. However, I cannot actually visit an individual site by entering the URL. If I directly enter the URL, it comes up with a 404 error, site not found. If I try to navigate to some pages from a Google, it comes up with a connectivity problem page. I would really like to be able to use my Firefox again. In the meantime, I'll have to use Google Chrome.

Try clearing Firefox's cookies and cache
Do these steps and then reload the website you're having trouble with.
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] , choose History and select Clear Recent History....
* In the Time Range to clear: drop-down, select Everything.
* Click the arrow next to Details to display the list of items that can be cleared.
* Select both Cookies and Cache.
* Click Clear Now.
Moreover, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions:[[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
Also see:
[[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
[[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]]

Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

How to open Camera Raw in Bridge, it comes up with the following error

How to open Camera Raw in Bridge, it comes up with the following error Bridge parent application is not Active   Bridge requires that a qualifing product has been lanched at least once to enable this feature. It opens in Photoshop CS6 & Elements 10 but not Bridge?

You need to look at all programs in your uninstall list, and see if you spot any old trials that are no longer active.
Camera Raw in Bridge and PS are the same program, so its not the program but access. Would have been nice it you had stated OS, but here are locatons of camera raw for both OS.

Please read this User Tip as it seems to be the same problem. That is, a wrongly named file inside the AppleWorks package.

Hi guys I'm playing kings of Camelot and I'm trying to purchase gems inside the game but it comes up with connect iTunes error could you please help to fix this problem it's getting very annoying cause I just went out and brought a $60 iTunes card

Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info.

When itunes starts it comes up with "an unknown error occurred (--4211).

It then works normally - except it does not recognize any USB devices (eg iPhone, iPad)
