How do I stop my ibook from trying to boot from the network

I have an older Ibook 4g and I have been trying to learn how to use it. Somehow I changed the boot from the hard drive to boot from the network. can someone help me?  Also I would like to upgrade the os from osx 10.3 to a newer version.

Don't apologize for asking for help. That's why we're here.
Have you tried starting up in Safe Mode? If not, I suggest that you give it a try. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once started up in Safe Mode, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select the Mac OS X startup volume (Macintosh HD unless the name has been changed). Then try starting up normally. If you are now able to start up, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and repair permissions on the hard drive.
If you still can't start up into OS X, it may be an indication that the hard drive has problems. In that case, having the system discs is almost essential.

  • How do I stop e-mails from the photoshop lightroom forum?

    How do I stop receiving e-mails from the photoshop lightroom forum?

    You can turn on and off email notifications for a given thread, in the right-hand column, when viewing that thread (while logged in).
    If you view your profile page (while logged in) there's a "Manage email notifications" link at the top right, which takes you to a list of all threads you are "watching" one way or another. There's a column of checkboxes at the end - and a header checkbox which fills or clears the checkboxes against all entries. At the bottom of the list is a button to remove email notifications across all the current highlighted items.
    There are also settings for general (auto) email notification, in the user profile / edit preferences / Email notification preferences. For example, you can choose whether or not to auto-subscribe for notification, with future threads you may start.

  • How can I retrieve my iBooks from the cloud?

    When I tap on the iBooks app the library is blank.  My books are not there anymore.  How can I retrieve them from the cloud?

    Are these books you purchased (using the same Apple ID you are using on your iPad) in the iBooks Store?
    If so, open iBooks, click "Store", then "Purchased" and you can re-download them from there.

  • How "hide" SQL Server Express 2012 from the network

    Hello
    I want to install SQL Server Express 2012 in my company-provided laptop. Since the service is going to "announce" itself on the network so that client can find it, I would like to know how to prevent the broadcasting, in such a way that my installation remains
    "hidden".
    Thanks a lot.

    Sudeepta,
    If the browser service was stopped named instances (unless specified on tcp port 1433) shouldn't connect. It was have to be specified as Hostname\InstanceName,PortNumber as part of the role for the browser service is named instance port lookup.
    EMoscosoCam,
    Sudeepta is correct though, the browser service is reponsible for best effort udp broadcast replies. It is also possible to keep the browser service running and use the "Hide Instance" feature in SQL Server Configuration Manager. Open up SSCM, expand SQL
    Server Network Configuration. Right-click on the instance to "hide" and choose properties. Under the Flags tab should be "Hide Instance", set this to yes.
    While both ways would work, the actual hiding on an instance is extremely hard with SQL Server due to port scanning. If better security around it is required you will have to work with your networking team to develop well defined firewall rules.

    How do I stop my itunes from saying my session has timed out when i'm trying to download a song

    What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop with no success.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    How do I stop an app from waiting?  I have tried to reboot by holding the home key and power button to power down.  The app is still grayed out and waiting so it cannot be deleted.  Also, I have tried to sync the apps from my laptop and tried downloading new appswith no success.  Can you help?  Thanks

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    how do i stop an item from downloading?
    the item has already downloaded but a 'ghost' download keeps trying but fails to download.
    annoying!

    Hello Hockeygurl12
    If you are having an issue with your purchase, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store app, tap on More and then Downloads. Then you should be able to swipe from right to left to delete it. Then you can try to download it again from the Music app. If you are still unable to download your track, the report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

    How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

  • I have tried to download a movie via iTunes. Every time the download nears the end, it stops and restarts from the beginning. This has happened 5 times. Any solutions?

    I have tried to download a movie via iTunes. Every time the download nears the end, it stops and restarts from the beginning. This has happened 5 times. How can I clear the download or solve this?

    If it is a HD movie, it may not be enough. The iPad also need working space.
    Try download to iTune (computer) and "Move" to iPad.
