Help - probz with starting up after re-installin O/S 9.2??

Hi,
I inherited a powermac G3 from a friend who advised a reinstall of OS9 due to passwords, users etc... so I've done that and now I can't get the mac to boot up properly.
It boots up fine with the OS disc in the drive - but obviously I can't leave this in there all the time... is there any easy way that I can change this??
When I had to do a reinstall on my imac G3 I just re-started and off I went, so thought this one would be similar... :s
Thanks,
Amez.

If you attempted to install OS 9.2 using a Restore CD from another model Mac, that could be the problem. You need to use the universal OS 9.x installer disk, which is white with a large "9" across the face of it.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

Problems With Starting Up After Power Failure

Hi Everyone,
I'm having the strangest problem booting up (or rather, not being able to boot up) after a power outage in my neighborhood last night. What's more, it's the second night in a row that it's happened and has blocked my ability to boot into my two main drives. I installed OSX on a separate internal drive so that I can access them and they seem to be all right and have all the information on them which is good.
Here's what happened: Two nights ago my computer was on and we had a power outage which turned my computer off, of course. I don't have it set to restart after something like this so I tried to restart it in the morning. The blue progress bar makes it about a quarter of the way across and stops. I have the same OS on another drive so I started up with the Option key and chose that and everything was fine. However, the next night the exact same thing happened and I couldn't boot into that drive the following morning either so I had to install a fresh version of OSX on another drive just to get into my computer. I've used Drive Utility, Drive Warrior, Drive Genius and TechTool Deluxe to check the drives and they all say there's nothing wrong. I've tried to reset the PRAM but still can't boot up into those drives which were on when we had the outage. I have unplugged everything and nothing else in the house seems to be effected. Any suggestions? I've had many power outages over the years with my Mac on but never have I ever experienced something like this, and on both drives too! As always, any help will be greatly appreciated and needless to say, I'm turning my computer off tonight before I go to bed!

Sounds like a lesson in there: don't wait to put OS X on an external drive that is usually off line.
Rush to a store or on-line and get a UPS of the 1500VA sort (APC RS would be nice, or SMART UPS 1000VA).
The directory of the drives could be corrupt.
I have all my equipment, modem, routers, the works, but we had a bad storm and one port on the router/modem is out (the one I used, the modem seems to be okay) and I am worried that the UPS's line filter for DSL in is also 'compromised.'
Storms and power outages can wRECK or cuase havoc.
It sounds like you need to map out bad sectors maybe (zero all in Disk Utility) perhaps. The directory, volume blocks, or even journal file, got scrambled. However, because no test can find it means - to me - it could be the "non user partitions" rather than OS X partition etc. Hence, zero the drive or just reformat it in full.
Why have you not ever with these outages, just continued to live w/o one? I wouldn't just shutdown, I would unplug if a storm approaches.
PS: SMC Reset button is under drive bay #4. Give it a 5-10 seconds depress.

Problems with starting Windows after Boot Camp was installed on a Win-PC

Hi,
i have a very interesting problem for the MacComunity (haha -.-). The problem is: after I have installed Boot Camp from my Snow Leopard DVD on my Windows PC (not my iMac); I can not start the system. In the Boot Camp System where i can set the system to start with, there was only the Boot Camp System available (not Vista). However, the system installs some Vista-Updates and some Updates from Apple Software Update (iTunes 9.2, Quicktime 7, Safari 5, Airport 5, Boot Camp 3.1) on my PC.
Everything was all right but after I have restarted the System nothing happend. the System freezed when the boot-Screen (Intel Logo) appears. The Systemkeyboard was not detected. It only detects a n external apple Keyboard. There are some reactions when I press the keys, but the Monitory is frozen, anyway. What can I do?

Problem with starting database after aborting backup

Hello,
I have following problem. I tried to do my first backup with EM. I switch my database to ARCHIVELOG mode then set location for archive redo logs to recovery flash area. Then EM asked me to make a backup. I accidentally clicked button refresh. After that I had to click "ok" few times and when I wanted to start database again I had a problem.
EM shows "Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance" and Agent Connection to Instance issues ORA-12528. I tried LSNRCTL>stop and LSNRCTL>start but it didn't resolve my problem.
In SQL Plus I can open the database but I can't mount it.
Any ideas???
I'm using Oracle 11.1.0.6.0.
Best,
Simon

In SQL Plus I can open the database but I can't mount it.This statement makes NO sense.
In order for the DB to be OPEN, first it needs to be able to MOUNT it,
using sqlplus along with CUT & PASTE show us what you do & how Oracle responds.

Sorry mate,
i have no idea why its showing different versions. I installed the software using the media i received thru Oracle for 64 bits.
I started the Windows service for dbconsole. It worked for a minute and the page disappeared again. Does it have something to do with firewall. I had set the Firewall off.

Help -can't start up after uupgrade and 'internet cleanup' install

I've got a problem... trying to remember how my installs went, but recently installed 10.5.4 and shortly thereafter a smith micro product called internet cleanup. in addition, during the restart, the air conditioner for our upstairs (computer / exercise room died and at 85F or so, returned to find the fans running full blast and the international "NO" sign in place of the gray apple at startup.
I am unable to start up at this point and don't know why. I have run disk utility and repaired 1 permission, no joy, and ran disk warrior last night and still can't start up. OS cd and DW see my drive ok and perform tests and repairs ok, but still can't start up.
if anyone has a recommendation, I'm all ears. I'm ready to start unplugging any peripherals, open the case, and unplug memory, not knowing what else to do.
thanks in advance,
macles,

Get a UPS 1500VA for your Mac Pro.
I would be surprised Smith is 10.5.x compatible, why not look at Onyx or Leopard Cache Cleaner, or just manually clean out ~/Library/Caches/
Resetting the SMC (button for pre-2008, leaving unplugged for 2008 model).
http://www.apple.com/support/macpro/
Obviously first, if DW repairs your drive and you are running 10.5.4, you have another disk drive and can boot, no?
Backups and cloned system?
Else, start installing and setting up a new OS boot drive. Later you can try to merge or migrate and salvage files and applications.

Problems with Start up after loading Parallel and adding Windows Vista

Everytime I start up my MacBook, I have to hold the option button down. Otherwise it goes into a booting up windows screen. How do I get the computer to go right to the Mac desktop, when starting up?

You have selected Vista as your boot OS.
In Leopard, open the System Preferences and under Startup Disk, select Mac OS X, 10.5.whatever and that will solve your problem.
You can also set the boot preference in Vista, but I am not sure exactly where. BootCamp installs a similar boot option in Vista or XP.

I need to reinstall my operating system for 10.5 after seeing a file folder and question mark flashing on my start up screen. Can anyone help me with this?

Hello,
That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
See if DU even sees it.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Do you get an error number? What is the exact message?
Two things to try.
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store.
If that doesn't work, try an App Store reset and then try again.
