G5 crashes affter using iWeb--now the Default HD has no OS

Installed iLife06 on my G5
Built 1 website with iWeb
Posted Site to my .mac account
Went to save and quit--- Sipnning Beachball of death
Went to Force Quit--- not possible.
Manually shut off G5
Restarted G5-- no desktop. OS will not load.
Restarted from Apple OSX DVD
Ran Disk Utility
My Default HD had no name. Disk Utility says it cannot repair the HD.
Need some help.... don't want to reinstall the OS for fear of losing my work files (don't care about the software as I can reinstall that later if need be...)
all sugesstions to fix this appreciated
regards

Something bed happened...hard to tell what...could be a bad HD or corrupted OS. But try booting into FW target disk mode. If the computer will boot into disk mode, you can slurp off your data before attempting a re-install or HD replacement.

I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID.

I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID. I've set the new ID for the phone, but it defaults to the old one when asking for a password to update apps.

That's because all apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & can only be updated using that ID.
To use your new ID with these apps, you'll have to delete them, then repurchase. Or, contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID.

I used time machine to restore on a formatted MAC. Now the HDD space has reduced by 100GB but I cannot see any of the files. How do I find and delete those 100GB data from the HDD?

Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates.

Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work. Formerly ran WGM from my 10.6.8 mac (worked perfectly) but now I am at 10.7.5 and must use WGM on the server. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Hi
"Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work"
If I've understood you correctly I've never known this or anything else to take that long? What were you trying to do exactly?

Do you just want to delete the music or wipe the whole phone since you've switched to the other one?
If you plug the old iPhone into your computer you can remove stuff via iTunes or remove stuff directly from the iPhone too.

My iPhone 3Gs has started crashing when using apps once the battery gets down to around 80%.

My iPhone 3Gs has started crashing when using apps once the battery gets down to around 80%. Sometimes it will reboot on its own, and other times you have to leave it for an hour or so and then manually turn the phone on again. Any ideas?

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?

Installed a theme that didn't work, now the default theme is bad too!

I tried "Modern Tool Icons for XP", but didn't notice the "for XP" part until after I installed it, so I removed it & went back to the Default. Unfortunately, now the default theme won't show any colors; it's just white symbols on the background. Even the secure part of the URL bar is just shades of gray. What can I do to reclaim the default as it should be?

I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it. Nice.

Nice. Shall I say goodbye to my treasured iPhoto library? What happened?
I did just upgrade my iPhone to OS 5. Could that be related somehow?
Help!

1. Back up your iPhoto Library - you should always have a back up anyway.
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
2. Reinstall
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Why do I have constant static on one tv and now the land line has the same thing

I have had static on one tv for I forget how long. The tv is on the highest volume possible and some stations you can hear and others have a constant buzzing sound. Now the land line has a constant static as well. Granted the land line is an old fashioned push button phone but it has been fine for two years now. I have a smart phone and never bothered to get a cordless, but this should have nothing to do iwth the static I now have on the land line. The tv could be the speakers but why is it different from channel to channel. Paying what we all pay, our land lines, internet and cable should be working properly.

On that TV that's low, try this:
To control the speaker volume of the motorola box itself:
1) Press and hold the AT&T button on the remote
2) Press the "OK" button and release it and the AT&T key at the same time. All the universal lights will flash twice.
3) Type 955. The AT&T key will flash twice
4) Press "Enter"
Now you can turn your motorola box all the way up. Once you get it set how you want, we need to set the remote back to control the TV volume instead of the motorola box. To do that:
1) Press and hold the AT&T button on the remote
2) Press the "OK" button and release it and the AT&T key at the same time. All the universal lights will flash twice.
3) Type 955. The AT&T key will flash twice
4) Press "TV". The TV light will flash twice
All of this is assuming that the TV button on your remote is already programmed to control your TV.
Good luck
Chris

How can I log into my new (used) Ipad if the previous owner has the only log in information? I purchased it through Glyde and have no information on the seller.

How can I activate my new (used) Ipad if the previous owner has the only log in information? I purchased it through Glyde and have no information on the seller.

What you've run into is the activation lock. Previous owners are supposed to wipe their devices, and to do that they have to enter their apple ID's. If yours wasn't wiped then it was a careless owner, or the dark side is that whomever sold it, it wasn't theirs to sell.
Regardless, what Deggie says is your only recourse. Get your money back or own an unusable brick.

how do i remove this feature? where using google maps the input box has this in it( Enter your address line 2 here)/In hotmail new email on the enter page it reads (Enter your email here) .
You have the remove these statements before entering an address , and before sending an email or with the email it will stay on the email , google maps will not work.

Try this -
<img src="assets/jpgs/Prodigy Logo Large 2014.jpg" width="180" height="180" alt="" style="display:block;">
What you are seeing as whitespace is the space reserved for glyph descenders on any element that is rendered within a text box (i.e., an inline element). By making the image "display:block" you eliminate that space because a block element doesn't have descenders. If that works to your satisfaction then you can give the logo an id, and create a CSS selector containing that block style.

I prefer not to use Google as the default search engine; how can I change it to my preference?

I'd like to change the main search engine to something else, like DuckDuckGo. thank you

Current Firefox versions use the default search engine (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename) to set the search engine that is used on the about:home page.
You can modify the <b>browser.search.defaultenginename</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and set it to one of the other installed search engines.
Select this search engine in Manage Search Engines and copy the value of the browser.search.selectedEngine pref to browser.search.defaultenginename.
*browser.search.defaultenginename
*browser.search.selectedEngine

Use Metric as the default Unit of Measurements?

Hi I am using the trial version of Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2 and I was wondering if there is a way to set metric as the default unit for Measurement?
Regards

Hi,
Double click on the ruler. Then you can select the unit, like cm or mm instead of inches.

I bought a used iPod touch and now the previous owner has turned on find my phone. How can I shut it off

so ya I bought my daughter a new iPod touch for her birthday from the pawnshop. They said it's been put through the police data base and is not stolen(protocol ?). I took it home and put it away. Her bday is now next week and I got it out to put a cool wallpaper in it and charge it up. Turns out the previous owner has now turned the find my phone app on , so I can't do anything with it now? is it possible to factory reset it? I feel like I got screwed big time:( i hope someone has an idea foe me cause i am totally illiterate when it comes to technology.

Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.
