Given an iMac G5 with broken cpu. please help.
My friend was loading onto the cpu and it blanked out. He is giving it to me and was the first owner. How do I fix this problem?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
Hello joy:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Without further information, no one can even make an educated guess. You need to tell us what was being done, what happened, and so forth.

Stuck In Boot Camp With Broken Keyboard PLEASE HELP
Hi there,
Just recently, I decided I wanted to install Windows 7 on my iMac for gaming. Now, this has worked before, so I expected it to go without a hitch.
Now I sit here (on my Dad's PC), waiting for an answer. I am stuck on the black screen saying "No bootable device - press any key". I see a lot of other posts saying that I need to press option on my keyboard, but that's another problem. I have a Windows gaming keyboard, so the keys have a Windows layout. So instead, I pressed alt, which apparently is the equivalent. Nothing. I tried all the other key shortcuts, and still nothing. I noticed that when I booted up, my keyboard lit up (it's LED), but if I pressed CAPS lock or the num key, the indicators wouldn't light up.
All I want to do is boot into OS X! This is extremely frustrating, as I have some very important work on my iMac.
Someone please help me.
P.S I have tried with other keyboards, and that hasn't fixed it.Just generally starting up my Mac, and changing back to OS X when I used to have Windows working on my iMac. By pressing alt on my Windows layout keyboard.

My iPod 4G has been going very slow! I want to restart it but my power button is broken. Please help it's been going slow for the past month. It's even slow as o type this message.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

my ipod generation 5 will not come out of recovery mode. i was simply updating my software and this happened. it will not let me restore it comes up with and error. please help, thanks.
Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,

my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?
Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express. -
ipod 5th generation will not turn on, charge, or connect to macbook laptop. i was using it for music then all of a sudden the screen went black and was unresponsive. i have tried using other cords. also my home button is broken. someone please help!
Try:
- 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.

This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

i purchased iphone 5c from ebay india . after 35 days i updated software n from that day phone battry is not workin well , getting dry in 4 hrs . i m reaaly ****** with phone performace , please help or suggest
Ebay is not an official reseller. Return it if you can for a refund.
Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
