G5 will not complete shutdown.
My G5 2 x 2.5, when shutting down, shows the shutdown text, says it's shutting down, and then.......doesn't. It just sits there with the nice white text and does nothing.
No change in fan speeds, just sits there.
I finally end up holding in the power button to shut it down.
Have: reset the PRAM, new PRAM battery, Apple keyboard with Logitech LX3 Optical mouse, 2.5 Gb ram, ATI 9600 XT.
Don't have: original discs, any idea about what is going on.
TIA for suggestions and answers,
Kevin
Hi Kevin Moniz-
Try disconnecting all peripherals except monitor, mouse and keyboard and see if it works normally then.
Luck-

Recently, My Mac-mini will not complete the "shutdown" or "restart" routine; it closes the desktop screen, goes to the light blue screen, but then the spinning indicator (not the "wheel of death") just keeps spinning forever with no shutdown (I've let it spin for >2 hrs.). Have run disk/permissions verifications and repairs from applejack, disk utility, Mactuneup.app & all report ok. Any suggestions, please?
DougHave you tried with

System will not completely shutdown
Just sits there with a blue screen. Have to force a shutdown with the on/off button.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
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
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
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 Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -

Firefox 23.0Thanks for posting back. Glad Firefox continues to work.
Most programs try to do a bit of a cleanup routine as they closedown so it is usually best to close them down properly.
You will presumably have options to make the computer sleep, that needs power; or hibernate, that needs no power but may need spare RAM memory.

No doubt you have already discovered
* You can opt for Firefox starting with home pages or starting with the last opened Windows. <br />Even if starting from home pages the History option usually allows the last open windows and tabs to be reopened
**[[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* If something goes wrong Firefox tries to give you the ''embarrassing'' screen with options to select what opens from last time.

Recovery will not complete w500p
I have recently purchased a used Iconia W500P tablet. I purchased the recovery media from the Acer store. THE RECOVERY WILL NOT COMPLETE and my husband is ready to break the tablet in half. It gets to 99% on updating system and just freezes.
I have. I did a hard shut down and let it go ahead and start installing like it had completed. It then goes through installing all devices and starts doing the 35 different installations. It make it to 27/35 in cleanup and locks up again. After another hard shutdown, it will finally start, but the touchscreen does not work. It worked before I did the restore. I just wanted to start with factory settings and get rid of the crap the previous owner had loaded on the tablet.

Recovery will not complete. Gets stuck on Configuring screen
L505D-ES5025 Lap top. The speakers and USB ports were not working. After trying to download drivers with no success, I decide to recover the system to factory default software. It will not complete. I left it from 4:30pm yesterday to this morning and It is still stuck on that screen. I forced a shutdown and opened windows safe mode with command prom and ran CHKDSK, and it said there were no problems with the disk. Can someone help me?
I have had this problem L505D-LS5007for many months and have sent the laptop to Toshiba Repair 3 times under warranty and it kept coming back as hardware failure and that they replaced the system board. Once the hard drive was replaced as well as the system board. The last time I sent it in, it kept running for several months. I believe that the problem starts when Microsoft does an update. I am guessing that the hardware is NOT supported by Microsoft Windows 7 out of the box software and Toshiba has used their special drivers software to configure some of the non standard Windows 7 hardware for this particular laptop version. Probably to slip Windows 7 into a machine that they had in stock and needed to sell. When a Microsoft update comes along, the hardware is reconfigured improperly for the L505D-LS5007 hardware configuration. I also think that this may cause a hardware failure as the configuration is wrong and causing something to overheat. As I try to restore, the high speed fan is always on and the exhause sire from the fan is hot. I am at a loss too how to fix this problem. Same problem, no USB, no speakers cannot complete restore. Hardware? Probably due to a software problem that caused the failure. I wonder if XP 64 bit would work? Anyone try that? Of course if the hardware has failed, another OS will not help. Too bad we just happened to buy a good laptop that was not meant for Windows 7 platform.

I have rented two movies on my laptop and they will not completely download..it shows that they are theere but when i try to watch them on my laptop or my ipad it wont open up???? help
Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. -
My iPod 5th gen will not completely turn on it shows the apple symbol then shuts off I have restarted it and tried to plug it into my computer but cannot find it to restart it
Its been like this for awhile and I can not fix itTry:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
Do I have to buy a new scanner? It seems so close to working correctly.
I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
ThanksI have same issue - have you solved this yet?

My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"...I literally bought some of these songs yesterday on my iPhone and now I can't sync them to my iPad. What is this issue? Usually I would just have to plug either device into iTunes and everything would sync, now nothing new syncs.
On your iPad tap Settings > Store
Switch Books off then back on then reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away. I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma. Thank you kindly.
What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignore the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) ?
You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents). -
My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
Any help is appreciated.Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
My iPhone 4 will not complete a back up. Error - 5000 comes up
Error 5000 appears after "preaparing phone for back up" completes. "Continuing will result in the loss of all contents of this phone" is the message. Phone will not complete a synch and iTunes often goes into "Not responding". I have repaired iTunes by downloading the software from Apple's website. No improvement.
Can anybody offer a solution?This is a bad situation. Your iPhone is in a state which cannot be backed up, and the Restore will return iPhone to factory specs erasing it. You need to Restore your iPhone to get it working again. If you were experiencing problems before, maybe your iPhone is damaged. If still faulty, and you have Warranty or AppleCare take iPhone to Apple for evaluation. If no coverage and still faulty it may be time for new phone.
