GB chooses to open on secondary monitor, not the primary monitor?  It was working fine, then started this.

New Mac Mini running new Garageband.  2 monitors.  Working fine, however, all of a sudden GB started to choose to open and not be able to move from secondary monitor.  What may have changed and how can I rectify this.  I would like GB to open on the primary.  All of applications open on primary monitor.

There is some confusing information in your post.  You say iMac g5 & 10.6.6.  The iMac g5 cannot run 10.6.6.  10.6.6 requires an intel machine.
I'll assume iMac g5.
There have been many reports of capacitor problems with these machines.  There are capacitor replacement kits if you want to experiment with a soldering iron.
You could try a new battery.
Since you are having succes running the machine, I'd say it is a hardware problem. I've read a little on the capacitor problem.  Seems to fit what I have heard.
google: g5 capacitor replacement kit
Seems rather inexpensive.

& lots of info on repairing on this site.  Offers this good suggestion.
"Additionally you may also go to any Apple Retail Store with a Genus Bar, and have the Apple folks take a look inside the G5 and look at the caps on the iMac logic board for you."

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You're using Exchange Active Sync to synchronize contacts and calendars with your company Exchange Server. If the default calendar/address books are set to the Exchange account, it will sync automatically. This is normal.
    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars to change the default address book and calendars to a something else, iCloud or something synced from your home computer instead.

  • TS3274 The Ipad was working fine, then just went blank. It will not turn on again. It was fully charged.

    The Ipad Air was working fine - then it went blank. It will not turn on again. It was fully charged It is less than 2 months old.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

    My ipad will not swith on.  It was working fine an hour earlier but when I press the power on button nothing happens.  I have had it on charge just to be safe but no joy.    This is a basic first version ipad. What options do I have?

    Try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

    You should try doing a restore. A restore on your ipod touch will delete all it's storage and set it back to it's factory conditions but it should fix your problem. Before the restore, I suggest making a backup file for your ipod touch on itunes.
    To restore your ipod touch:
    1.Connect your ipod touch to your computer and open itunes if not already open.
    2.Select your ipod touch name in the devices section of the source pane.
    3.Click the restore option under the version section in the summary tab. An alert will pop up asking you if you really want to do this. To affirm, click restore.
    4.The restore process has now started.
    With  your ipod touch restored, you can resync it working fine.

  • My itunes app was working fine then all of a sudden I'm getting an error - The Itunes application could not be opened.  The required folder cannot be found.  But it doesn't tell me what folder.

    I am using Windows Vista.  My itunes launched fine until now.  Now I get an error - "The Itunes application could not be opened.  The required folder cannot be found".  I have no idea what file it is looking for.  Has anyone seen this error? 
    I have also tried to uninstall the package and I get the error Could not access network location %APPDATA%\.  And it won't uninstall.  I don't know why it's complaining in both cases. 
    Itunes was working 3 weeks ago with no problem.

  • Iphone 4S suddenly will not connect to network. Was working fine after update.

    Iphone 4S has been updated. Has been working fine. Today all of a sudden, searching for network. Texting through wifi works. Help. Tried removing and replacing sim card. Checked airplane mode, reset network settings. Any other ideas?

    Turn off security just to test..
    But you have tried all our work arounds.
    If you want the fully operation airport utility.. download it.

    Do a factory reset and try again.
    If it doesn't work, turn the wireless back on in the 2wire. There is nothing wrong with doing that. Lock it to channel 1 say and the TC to channel 11.
    Does the phone now work?
    If not the issue is the phone .. the upgrade has killed it... I suggest you take it back to apple for checking.

  • Hotmail doesn't open and says 'server not found' but all other websites work fine...

    My macbook won't open hotmail. It works on all other websites apart from hotmail. I have tried using safari to open it but it still didn't work. It comes up with the message 'Server not Found'. I have tried another computer in the house and it worked absolutely fine. I have cleared cookies and cache on the macbook which has not changed anything. Please help as this is rather an annoying situation to be in. Thankyou

    Are you using a bookmark or do you enter the website via the main entry (i.e. a link on the MSN page)?
    In the case of a bookmark, you may need to delete this bookmark and create a new bookmark.
    Is this also happening with the Windows Live (Outlook) login page:

    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
