G5 Startup Problem - Different than any support help I can find

I just replaced the logic board in a liquid cooled G5 (wouldn't start up at all with the old one).
Now it ALMOST works.
- It powers up
- No LED blink signals, stays on solid
- The fans spin (fast, but I figured that was due to needing thermal calibration)
- It chimes like normal
But it comes up with the "I can't find an OS to boot" icon (Folder w/ question mark) -- which wouldn't be a big deal, but it won't boot off the DVD drive either.
I've tried:
- swapping around the ram
- resetting the PMU
- "zapping" the PRAM (apple-option-P-R)
- Booting without the HD
- A different DVD Rom Drive
No change at all ... maybe the replacement logic board is faulty in some other way?
If anybody has any insight, I'd appreciate it.

Starkmedia,
I have similar but still unresolved issues with my dual 2.7 and wonder why you replaced the logic board. Was it diagnosed by a tech or software? Please advise me. In my case my computer would not boot up from anything. I did all the things like you, SMU, Pram etc etc etc. I also ran techtool pro and it found no hardware issues, repaired permissions, verified disk etc etc. Could not find a single issue, hardware or software. Quite by chance I did find a way that provides a startup and once running I have no real issues. This chance solution to enable startup is removing the air deflector, powering up then once the screen comes alive and is booting I reinstall the air deflector and all's back to normal. Of course I realize I've not fixed anything but it's giving me time to do a comprehensive backup and hopefully solve the problem. Btw, when starting up with the air deflector removed it always starts up and in the normal timeframe without issues. yes, the fans are revving and the red led is on but gets back to normal once the panel is reinstalled.
If anyone here knows why I can startup only with the deflector out please tell me.
Pete

You could also try jumping in on some of the Mozilla IRC chat channels as was suggested to someone else in another thread.
Also you could also try the [/forums/buddies new contributors forum], it does now have an Admin monitoring and replying. (At the time of the quoted post Admins were almost impossible to get hold of for forum matters )

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. :)
I know just the places where I think you'd fit in best. To make sure, just join us in #sumodev and #mozwebqa and #communityit at irc://irc.mozilla.org
I think your skills in php, javascript, python and server admin-y stuff will come in real handy at these places. :D
For example, some help is needed here to fix these tests after a new theme was added to wiki.mozilla.org and they are in python. https://github.com/mozilla/wiki-tests - more info in #mozwebqa
And maybe some help with perl might be needed with firebot, a irc bot written in perl. Channel #firebot for that.
And #communityit (for server admin stuff) and #sumodev could use some help as well, just pop in and ask. :)

Is there any source that I can find "prel" files?

Hi all,
Is there any source that I can find "prel" files!
I realized that the best way of learning for me is to open prel files and examine ready projects and adjust according to my needs!
This method is fastest according to reading books or watching tutorials!
Any other suggessions about the ways of learning Adobe Premiere??
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Steve!
So much effort, knowledge and energy! You seem to me as you are from another planet!
By your replies I understand that PE7 and Sony Vegas Pro 9 work differently!
Because I have many "veg" files, I just only change the letters or pictures!
Indeed I was looking for "veg" equivalent of Premiere Elements!

I lost my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Find my iPhone application was not installed. Is there any way if I can find it or else I can lock the device so nobody uses it?

lost/stolen
No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Greetings andyirons,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving low signal strength on your iPhone. In this situation, even though the attached article was written for situations with no signal, I would still suggest working through these same steps to troubleshoot.
If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Security questions are different than questions I originally answered can't access iTunes for new ipad

Doubtful.

HT4890 i updated my the software on my iphone and now I can't find my pictures. Any idea where I can find them? Please help!

I updated the software on my iphone 4 and now I can't find my pictures. Does anybody know where I can find them?

If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using. Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using.

HT5621 yesterday somebody logged in to my apple account and changed my address, is there any chance that I can find out ip address or location of who did this ???

Hi Guys,
I am a bit worried as yesterday I received an email saying my account details changed and that was for my billing address. I havent done this and so amazed, have a doubt on someone who is probably not in the country at the moment. just want to confirm if there is any way that i can trace the ip address or location that from where its been changed. (I have changed everything after this though but still feeling insecure)
Please advise
Many Thanks,
Ummara

CS2 Help Files Problem - Different than those Previously listed

I installed PSCS2 and the installation appeared to go OK and for the most part the program runs as I would expect.
The issue I have is with the help files. When I try to access the help files the Adobe Help Center opens but the only help available is for PS Elements 4. I did NOT remove PSE4 prior to installing PSCS2 and it is still on my machine.
This is a Dell Dimension XPS, running Win XP Pro, 2.8 G Pentium 4 processor, 1G DDR RAM.
Thanks in advance,
Ken Kovak

Thanks to everyone that posted suggestions on how to fix this. I think that deleting the folders/files can't hurt, but I'm not sure it's really necessary.
The problem for many of us is that the CS2 help package is simply gone. I tried everything suggested in all the other threads - including completely removing and reinstalling several applications - and nothing worked until I simply downloaded the help package from Adobe, placed it in the packages folder, and ran help.
AHC.exe is obviously smart enough to check that folder before opening so if it finds a new package it will apparently rebuild the database and "install" it.
The worst thing in my mind is that Adobe hasn't addressed this problem even though it's a known issue and should have been fixed in the 9.01 update release. How lame is that? It's extremely lame to answer my own question Yes, I'm "teaked" that I've wasted so much time on something Adobe should have fixed but is too lazy to address. Kind of like the Bridge problem...... I grow more disenchanted with Adobe all the time...
Anyone that installed Elements 4.0 (for it's superior management and viewing capabilities) may face this problem.
Again, thanks to all the helpful users and an extremely rotten tomato to Adobe.....

Facebook Problems - Different than iPhoto

Hi, sorry for the long post!!!
First, I'm new to Aperture and was planning on moving from iPhoto. I was testing and have noticed a lot differences when enbabling Facebook inetgration that has now raised a number of questions & concerns.
First, with iPhoto - connecting to your facebook account sync's all existing albums but doesn't put those images in the library, whereas, when doing the same in Aperture, it does. The first problem is that if you decide to import the picture that Aperture synced from Facebook, it doesn't show up, if you have don't allow duplicates checked. The problem is the file is not the same size and further more, if you delete it from your library, it removes it from facebook and won't allow you to undelete (or put back) from the trash.
I guess the bottomline is Facebook integration is really different from iPhoto and unless you only have 1 copy of Aperture and start using Facebook only when you start with Aperture, it might all work right. In my case, I have multiple computers running Aperture and have already sync'd some photos with iPhoto and Facebook.
This is probably not easy to follow and maybe looking for any references on how the Facebook integration with Aperture is really designed to work and the workflow associated with it.
Thanks,
-chris

I was having the same problems. I think it is a problem with the way Facebook blocks applications.
I solved the problem by clicking on the iPhoto Uploader hyperlink in the uploader box, telling Facebook to Block the iPhoto Uploader application. I then went back to iPhoto and attempted to upload a photo. After the login screen all I got was a screen that said close. I did this, then went back to the iPhoto Uploader option in Facebook and told it to Allow the application. Then when I selected pictures in iPhoto and clicked on the Facebook button, I logged in as before and was presented with the option to publish the picture.
Now everything works .... my guess is that facebook was rejecting the request from iPhoto to publish, but fails to show an error message. The solution is to disallow then allow the iPhoto Application from Facebook (using the hyperlink in the iPhoto Uploader login box.)

WiFi connection problems (different than others)

Hello!
I got an iPod touch 32GB 4 days ago and I have really big problems with WiFi. I cannot connect to any wifi i've tried. Even setting my own wifi unprotected and unfiltered, it still doesn't work. I've also tried at wifi connection at work. Yesterday a mate who has an iPod touch 8Gb and me tried to connect to our wifi at work, and he COULD connect to, but not me!!. Having one each iPod near to other, doing exactly the same steps. No way.
These are the symptoms: I enter the password and it's accepted (if I enter wrong password, or filtered by MAC, I get a response telling that it's not possible to connect; but if I put the right password, it 'connects', tried WEP 40bits using Key1 and WPA PSK). The blue tick appears near to SSID, but there's no blue icon on the upper left of screen (near to 'iPod'). If I enter on configuration of the 'connected' network, I see that I have selected DCHP, but got no IP, no netmask, no router, no anything. So, if I try to set an Static IP, when I exit Settings pannel and enter again, the blue tick is still there, but the settings is set to DHCP again!!.If I sleep/wake iPod, then it appears disconnected.
I'm really getting crazy!. The most incredible thing is that with an iPod 8GB it works and mine's which is an 32GB model and started to sell later, doesn't not work!.
At home I have a Linksys WRT54GL using firmware OpenWRT 0.9. And at work it's one from Telefonica.
Is maybe some kind of known bug that will be fixed on next update? (I really really beg for...). I read somewhere something about a wifi bug in 32GB edition of iPod Touch.... is that true?
Is there something I could try? Any ideas?

Hi Jason!
I tried the 'Forget this network' several times, but it has no effect. The iPods doesn't get any IP from the router. I can't set an Static configuration anyway, it simply doesn't work. The Static configuration is erased when I leave Settings panel.
In the router's log is not registered any DCHP query at all. I use MAC filtering, but I tried disabling it, no way. If I remove the iPod's MAC, I get an error while trying to connect. When I add the MAC to the list again, it 'connects' the same way I explained before. The same happens with security, bad password: error, good password: 'connects' but no IP no WiFi icon in iPod screen at top, just the blue tick near to the network name...
At home I have two laptop, one PDA and some other wireless gadgets (from friends, etc) that I configured myself in the router and never had a single problem. But with the iPod I couldn't do anything :'(
Thanks for the idea, anyway
