Hardware or Software? Need Major Help Please
Please help. I have a list of questions about my newly purchased I mac g5 complete with the i sight
1) The dashboard likes to cause a lot of problems. It freezes on me but everything else is still running. I cant get out of the dash board. Its stuck. Ive deletd all the widgits ive downloaded but it still gets stuck.
2) My mac consistantly freezes when am using an application. It just freezes so I run the hardware check with the CD liek it says to do in the manual. and then THAT frezes on me too. It was 90% done checking my hard drive for damages or what not and thn it froze. It started to change the scren to a bunch of diffrent colours. this went on for 15 minutes before it finally returned to the hardware check menu. And when it finally does the mouse doesnt move and its stuck.
Please if anyone knows what to do about this help me.

Need Major help please - mac won't get passed apple screen
Please help I have an assignment due in midnight tonight and my mac has just crashed. When I switch it on it loads the screen with the apple icon on it and with the animated turning circle but that's it. It doesn't do anything from there. Please give any advice you can.
No I don't have a backup at all since my external HD broke. I can go into the leopard install setup with the disc. I have tried repairing disc with disk utility which it says is successful. It then still won't work. On trying to repair disc permissions it comes up with an error 'First Aid Failed - the underlying task reported failure on exit' comes up. During repairing disk it comes up with the error Incorrect block count for the file pcscd.pub.
Thanks I appreciate your help. -
How i fix and software update i was tried but cant i need your help please and thanks.

Hi, my iphone its in recovery mode and when i restore my iphone 5s loading show the blue screen and show note on itunes (unknown error 14) please i need your help please . thanks
In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section. -
I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.
Argh that's frustrating! I never noticed that key did not work in InDesign.
A bit of research and it turns out the MS Office has this as an option in their software. But I cannot find an option in InDesign preferences to make this work.
However, somethings are not listed in the shortcuts and preferences and are hidden triggers in InDesign which can be accessed through a script.
I'm not saying it's possible to activate the Insert Key through a script, but it's plausible that it can be activated.
Maybe ask on the scripting forum? InDesign Scripting
I know this may be a possibility as with InDesign's earlier versions of PDF export to interactive documents there previously was no way to export interactive pdfs as single pages if in Spreads.
But the option to toggle this setting was scriptable. -
Remote App on iPad connects but drops after about 20 mins. Need to turn off wait about 1 minute, then turn on wifi on iMac before it can reconnect. Need some help please.

I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now. -
Hi! I got Movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? When I start playing the movie a message pops up and says "a required codec is not available". I tried flip4mac, xvid, divx already and still not playing my video. need some help please!! thanks.
Although vlc mentioned above is a much more powerful and better player you could try installing Perian if you insist on using the quicktime player. It may supply the codec it needs.
Not sure why you wouldn't be able to play straight avi files though in quicktime. -
I need your help, PLEASE. How can to fix "NO MOUNTABLE FILE SYSTEM" error of my back up hard drive on Mountain Lion OS?
Did you format the drive for Mac use before you tried to use it as a backup drive?
Are you using Time Machine on the drive? You can't view the contents of its backup database and the only way to access the info is directly from the Time Machine app. -
Hey, i bought an iphone from online shop as a used phone and its locked by orange france, i contact them to unlock it but they refused, they said that we regret to inform you that we'r not able to unlock second hand phones? I need your help please. Its not fair , apple should figure it out
Regards,
OrangeThis is no different with any carrier locked phone. Getting a carrier locked phone officially unlocked is the responsibility of the carrier, not the cell phone manufacturer. A cell phone manufacture cannot unlock a carrier locked phone without the carrier's authorization.
An iPhone sold as officially unlocked when new can be used by others as a second hand phone, and the same with any carrier locked iPhone that can be unlocked by the carrier, and many carriers offer it. -

Need Urgent help please? I need to restore from a previous iphone backup.
Oops, I admit it - I messed up but need help please?? I received a replacement iphone today. My broken iphone OS and my itunes had the latest software updates and I did a full backup before going to the store to get the rerplacement. However, when I got home with the replacement iphone and plugged it in, it asked if I wanted to update the OS on it. I made the mistake of saying yes. It then made a backup of the empty factory settings from the new replacement and restored from that rahter than the backup I made before going to the store. Yes I know I should have said no and just did the restore which would have resotred my previous backup that I made before going to the store. Then after everything would be allright I could have told it to update the OS.
You can slap my in the face or I will do it myslef for making such a stupid mistake. All ready did the "I should have had a V" thing to my forehead.
After seeing the restore was fromthe factory settings rather than my earlier good backup, I went into my documents and drilled down to the mobile sync backup and saw that one of the three folders (with giberish as a title) has a lot of information with the date and time I did the backup before going to the store.
Could I possibly delete the later (factory setting backup) folder and then do a restore to get my good backup onto the iphone? I didn't do that yet in fear that it might mess something else up on the iphone and I wanted to check with you experts here first for guidance and assistance, PLEASE?
I'll be anxiously awaiting any help you can give!
Thank you!!rwmac22 wrote:
Hopt and OneOrangeTree, Thank you both very much for replying!!
It took me a long time to get back to the dissucison group because I tried both of your suggestions which therfore had to do about 4 restores. They take quite a while (about 50 minutes each actually). Your help got me half way there and is very apprecaited! I did manage (with your excellent help) to get most of my backup put onto the replaced iphone. the photos, music, and videos didn't get put over. I think I can move those back over by making sure they are selected in the seperate tabbed screens for the iphone. However, I can't get to those screens because every time I connect the iphone now, it brings up the "set up your phone screen". The one with the "an iphone has been previously synced with this compter" setup as new phone or restore from ....
Well I did the resotre from 3 times and that page still comes up when I plug in the iphone. Yes, I did close itunes, reboot the PC, and powered off the iphone and then brouhgt it back up before connecting (all several times), but itunes still takes me to the same "setup iphone screen".
Can you help me to get it to the standard iphone screen and there I will make sure the selected items are checked and do a sync.
Please know I do appreicate your kind assistance so far and hope someone can get me the rest of the way!
The "Backup" do not store your Applications, Music, Video's. It saves your settings, your application preferences, etc. -
Really really need some help please.
lost all my audio. nothing plays anymore. cant even hear the trash empty any more. no itunes, nothing. no dvd audio. also noticed itunes wont play songs anymore, progress bar just sits there. also movies on youtube dont play anymore. when i try to turn up audio i get a zero symbol with a slash thru it. im stumped. help please. thanks
Whatever has happened, I've assumed it just happened and is systemic.
To start: Go to Applications/Utilities and run Disk Utility, select your startup drive, and click on the Repair Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
If that works, you're done, if not, pull out your Tiger startup DVD, insert it, select the Installer, and Restart your Mac from the DVD. When you get to the installer screen, go to the menus at the top of the screen and select Disk Utility, and this time click on the Repair Disk button. This will check your file system integrity and repair it.
When you've done that, post back.
If those don't work, you may need to do an Archive & Install, from this same DVD. This will preserve your accounts/apps/data, but will require you to repeatedly run Software Update to bring everything current again.
Good Luck... -
MBP Overheating, but its no + Also SLOW. Need Urgant Help Please!
My MBP is having some problems. The MacBook's fan has been going like mad (at full speed I would say), and the speed of the MacBook is just unusable. It is literally laggy to move the mouse around.
What I have done and observed.
Tried checking the temp, to see if the Macbook was hot, it was (have included a pic below).
Formatted the HDD, obviously hasn't worked, the installation has been running for three hours and because the MBP is running so slow, you can imagine. The Macbook does not even feel warm, nor does the air coming out of the back of it.
The fan stopped going mad for a little while.
When the fan stops going loud (full speed) the computer goes back to its fast speeds.
When the MB is going slow and the fan is at full speed kernal_utility is using around 170% of the CPU usage.

Anyway I need some major help, I have been using it for my year 12 notes and I do not have time to take it into Apple ATM, so anyway, does anybody have any idea's on how this could be fixed?
CheersThe "-128°C" reading for your left palmrest temperature sensor is cause for concern, since it's obviously completely wrong. If that sensor is malfunctioning (constantly or just intermittently), it may be triggering strange fan behavior and other malfunctions.
Run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test you'll find on one of the DVDs that came with your machine (whichever one contains it will say so and have brief instructions for running it on the label). I expect it will return an error message containing "SNS", and if it does, take your machine in for repair. If it's still under warranty or extended AppleCare, the repair will be covered. -
I am the biggest "Newb" on this site, and I really need some help please..
Ok, the short of it.... I started training on Database programming about 2 weeks ago. I still don't really know a thing, or even understand the concepts. Now, my boss wants me to fix a bug in Oracle, and I haven't a clue. The ONLY help I've gotten was a link to this forum, and a speech about how I need to help myself. I told him I have the same chance of fixing anything, as monkeys typing hamlet. Anyone up for a challenge?
When I go to Application System, then Application Entry and enter the password a dialog box appears.... "FRM-40039: Cannot attatch library Empower while opening from APPUSRAPP."
That's what I have to fix. I have no clue. I don't even really know how to click around in this program. Please help, someone.
UPDATE: I've been told that everyone's pretty much going to be a jerk to me for asking this, and I'm currently searching old threads and can't find a way to delete this one I posted. So, you could just ignore the post, or jump in and be the internet tough-guy and tell me what I already know.... I'm a newb.
