Help with Apple Error Code & Intermitant Boot Up Problems and ? marks

Well that was a long winded Subject line but I am a technical individual ... but know PC's and learn the Mac world which I have fallen in love with.
Recently I have been getting lock up as well as hanging boot ups with the flashing question mark on the screen.
I have been doing some research and one of the most recent things I did was run the Apple Hardware Test. During the quick test I received the following erro message:
4M0T/ 40000003: HDD
I am feeling like this likely a hard drive problem but not certain. I was trying to find what this error code meant and havent any luck yet so I thought I would try and post here. If I could find the error codes it woul dbe helpful. But if you have any ideas please help me out.
I have had session lock up where I can not do anything but move the mouse, totally frozen sessions, as well as boot ups.
One of the things I did earlier was run the TechTools System Tools that came with my Imac. It said everything was fine. So confused with what is wrong.

For an iMac 24 inch (Early 2008) 3.06 GHz machine, the 4MOT error code* indicates a fan issue, and recommends that a technician…
• shut down, the power back on and retest the machine
• verify that the fan speed indicator is not a zero value (yours is reporting a 3)
Without special tools and substantial experience, and because doing so would require opening your machine and thereby invalidating its existing warranty, they indicate that a technician should…
• verify that the fan blades are not obstructed by cables, tape or other obstacles
• verify that the fans are properly connected to the logic board and rotate when the machine is started
• if the problem persists, replace the fans and retest the machine
• if it still persists, replace the logic board
While HDD is a commonly used abbreviation for hard disk or hard drive, there is no Apple Hardware Test error indicator for a hard drive for this particular platform, and yours does not relate to one based upon that AHT result. While there may be a sensor issue in play, AHT does not report a sensor issue in your case.
You may wish to run the SMART diagnostics against your drive to see if it indicates an impending failure, but what you report is limited strictly to fan operation. You should take your covered machine into a dealer or service provider in order to have it tested and repaired under warranty.
*NOTE: these error codes are often non-unique, and can mean very different things from one model series to another, and—within one product family—from one specific machine type to another.

Hi there can you help with this error code Oxc5d1281

I refilled the HP cartridges in my Photosmart C 7250 All-in-One and put them in and got this error. I have D/C power,etc and it still comes up with this error code. Now what?

Hi british_eh
You could try resetting the printer, details here

Help with license error code

I have just installed CS6 on 20 school machines with the license key and the past two days the program keeps giving an error code saying to license the product. What do I do?

Hi All,
Thanks for your help. There were two issues in it:
1 - The Firewall and Antivirus program - stoped the firewall and exit anti virus
2 - In service manager when I gave the IP address of the machine instead of "local" and click Set it worked.
Finally, when I ran my web application it was connected successfully.
Suggestion: SAP Business One development team should update the scree of Service Manager. If you dont click on the "Set" button it doesnot start communication. Although you have imported the license file it still remains the same. The Import license File button and Connect button should remain disabled unless the Server Name and Port Numbers are set.
Regards,
Kashif

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Error 4900 is "Unknown fatal sense error".
Let's start with the support page for your computer. Go there and click on the "Show All" link.
Get the updates labeled "Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility", and "nVidia 64MB GeForce4 MX 420 w/TV Out".
You have the latest firmware for that drive.
If that doesn't help, come back because I see something I would remove from your lower filters.

Help with new error code (-1)!

Hi I am trying to update my iphone 4 to ios5. When it comes to the last stage, it shows this error of -1. I am unable to find any info related to this error code. Any help with this is highly appreciated! Many Thanks. Now the phone is unusable. Previously it showed several errors including 1600 series and they are all resolved. This is the last hudrle. Please Help!
Thanks

Like many I experienced some issues when updating to iOS 5 (on launch day). I finally gave up on the Update option and chose the Restore option.
iOS 5 downloaded and installed without issue. I restored from Back Up and everything was in place. No errors.
If you are updating, try using Restore instead.

Help with Apple Script Code

Hi,
I found this Apple script online and here's how it works:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
try
if not (exists document 1) then display dialog "Please open a QuickTime movie." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 1
set thefile to (choose file name)
save document 1 in thefile
close document 1
end try
end tell
+I run the Apple script+
*1. It prompts me to open a movie file in Quicktime*
+I open a movie in Quicktime+
*2. It prompts me for an name and directory to save the new file in*
+I enter a name and directory+
*3. It saves a new reference movie in said directory with said name*
This is useful if I want to customize every file, but unfortunately, I just want to mass create reference movies for a whole bunch of files.
What I am looking for is for an Apple script that is a drag and drop application, so I can drop say 100 movie files or so, and have the Apple script create reference movie files with the same name and in the same directory automatically with no prompts.
Since I am unfamiliar with Apple script I was wondering if someone would be able to edit my existing script to do what I want.
Thanks so much for your help!

Use Automator. It's great for repetitious tasks (like the one you've described), and it's very user-friendly. Open Automator, create a new workflow that executes the action you want, and you can apply that action to the resources you wish to edit.
Good resource here:

Firefox crashes upon start with the error message: Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.

I have tried to open firefox multipul times only to receive the error message:
We're Sorry
Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.
To help us diagnose and fix the problem, you can send us a crash report.
When I send the report and try to restart firefox and see that I have several tabs open, but it quickly shuts down again before I can do anything other then glance at it.

This is a "user group" moderated by Apple. Occasionally Apple uses the feedback here to construct better knowledgebase articles. Whether additional things are done by Apple is outside of the scope of knowledge of anyone here posting to the group who can say without breaking their non-disclosure agreements, unless you see someone here with the official Apple logos asking for questions to be answered. Rarely you do, but I've seen that more in the AppleTV forum. You need to call Apple, or speak to one of their authorized service centers to get repair. In the UK that number is (44) 0870 876 0753
And authorized service centers are under http://www.apple.com/uk/buy/ marked as such.

Need Help with Java error code:

I just installed an update suggested by my computer :( and now when I try to access different areas of sites I visit I get the following error:
"several java virtual machine running in the same process caused an error"
Can someone please help me undo this...I am very frustrated!
Thanks,
Lorri

Your problem may be:
The Microsoft Java JVM that comes with some versions of the OS is earlier on the PATH (Look inside the WINDOWS directory)
You may have several other JVMs on your PATH due to various server installations.... Oracle has one! Sybase has one, so do many other such RDBMSs.
Your "Browser Plugin" may install one.
You may have installed a couple.
You may not have JAVA_HOME set so its checking the PATH
I know what you may be thinking now... how in the world do I find them all?
Examine the output of the commandline call:
dir \java.exe -s

I can't access my itunes account on this computer it keeps coming up with an error code missing MSVCR80.dll

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Error 1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
