How to fix my apple g4 desktop

how to fix my apple g4 desktop,& upgrade memory & harddrive? getting a flashing ?mark in the middle of the screen.

The flashing "?" indicates that a valid system folder can't be found, preventing the computer from booting.  Do you have the OS installer disk?  If so, boot the G4 from it (press/hold down the "C" key at startup) and run Disk First Aid to check and repair (if necessary) the hard drive.  Also, if the internal battery hasn't been replaced, it may be very weak or dead (usually the date & time aren't correct).  A battery in either condition can cause startup problems.  If the hard drive has a mechanical/electronic problem that's causing the flashing "?," you'll have to replace it.  If you post back with the model G4 (series/processor speed) that you have, it will be easier to recommend specific hard drive and memory upgrades for it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • How To Fix Your Apple Devices Not Linking Up Together When You Update to iOS8

    A lot of people including myself had this problem and it took me forever to figure out what was going on and how to fix.  To save you a trip to the Apple store watch this how-to video i posted on youtube: http://youtu.be/VCX0y_gEJdg

    This works flawless for me. I have upgraded many with a PC over the years.
    Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
    1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    5. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
    6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
    7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
    8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
    Enjoy the new OS.

  • How can I get Apple Remote Desktop to disappear from my App Store updates list?

    My Apple Remote Desktop software shows up in my App Store updates list.  But I have already updated it to version 3.6.1 and it shows as "Installed".  It is greyed out and will not go away.  Any ideas on how to make it disappear is most appreciated. 

    All the suggestions I have read have not worked for me.
    But you can try:
    Running Software Update from the Apple Menu
    Logging in to the Mac App Store with the account that purchased ARD
    Deleting various Apple Store .plist files
    NB I haven't tried removind ARD and reinstalling.

  • HT200213 How do I purchase Apple Remote Desktop but install a previous version for my 10.6.8 Mac?

    I need to install Apple Remote Desktop to help a client but the App store only shows that the latest version is compatible with OS X 10.7. I found where I can download the 3.5.3 version of the app (compatible with OS X 10.6.8) but when I try to install it, it says it can't install because it can't find where the app is currently installed in order to update it. I don't want to pay the $80 for the latest version only to find that it won't install on my 10.6.8 and still be unable to install an older version of the app that DOES work with 10.6.8. Any ideas what I should do? I don't have a problem paying the $80 but I just need to make sure I will be able to use the software I pay for.
    Please Help.
    Thanks

    Ok, maybe I have answered my own questions in doing more research. I guess if I want/need the latest version and I have OS X 10.7, I can purchase it from the app store. If I need a previous version, I can purchase a retail packaging version of Apple Remote Desktop 3 from various vendors online. Once purchased and installed, I should be able to install update 3.5.3 to be on the latest version my OS will support. Does that sound correct? I just want to make sure I do this right.

  • How I fixed my Apple TV dissappearing from my iTunes Device List

    For those looking for a magic cureall you won't find it here.
    The long and short of the matter, the problem was on my end. Specifically an element of my ethernet's driver configuration utility wasn't loading properly. So, the AppleTV would show up in my device list and then dissappear after about 5 minutes and the only way to get it to show back up in my itunes device list is to cycle the power on the AppleTV. Unfortunately doing this would cause the same dissappearing AppleTV out of my iTunes device list.
    I'm one of those fools that bought that KillerNIC overpriced ethernet card and I had disabled the killernic tray application. As I recall I had some issues with my initial windows install and had to disable it to keep the computer from rebooting constantly. When I fired up msconfig and had teh tray application launch when windows boots up then the AppleTV showed up in my device list and everything was fine and is still fine.
    I spent about 2 hours on the phone with Apple tech support, who were as helpful as they could be when the problem was on my end. They even transfered me to one of their product specialists and he had some suggestions, but we soon realized the problem wasn't with the AppleTV, but something on my end.
    A few things to try, that the Apple tech reccomended:
    -If you are connected with a wired ethernet, then plug the AppleTV directly into your computer (PC or Mac) with the ethernet cables. The ethernet jack on the AppleTV is autonegotiating so you don't need a crossover cable. We tried this on my PC and the AppleTV didn't show up in my device list. But when we tried doing this on my Macbook the AppleTV showed up just fine. Which showed both myself and the Apple tech that all is well with the AppleTV, but something in my configuration was amiss.
    Don't waste your time on port mapping or port forwarding or any of that business, since the AppleTV is behind the firewall those sorts of things are not going to affect the AppleTV. Now the tech did say that some routers are flakier then others and a setting change or two might cause the AppleTV to stop working. His suggestion was to save my current setting and reset the router to default settings. Do not revert the firmware to an earlier version, but put the router settings for the current firmware into a default state. I know this is tedious, but if you are as frustrated as I was a few hours ago, then any suggestion to try is helpful.
    For the record here is my system and network stuff:
    router: Dlink DGL-4300 (V1.8)
    ethernet: Bigfoot Networks KillerNIC (v3.1.2.3)
    OS: WinXP (but the tech didn't think that the OS was the issue)
    I guess the moral of the story is why did it work and what changed to make it stop working? I was 100% convinced that an iTunes update caused teh problem to fail, because heck it was working once and now it doesn't work and I forgot that one bit that made my setup nonstandard (the missing tray application).
    Now this might not help anyone but me, but just on the off chance that someone else out there has more money then sense, bought an overpriced ethernet adapter, disabled the tray application, and is now having problems with dissappearing devices. Well, do I have a solution to your problems.

    It's not a matter of unpairing it from the iMac. You need to pair your iMacs remote to it and the ATV remote to the ATV. If you don't pair you iMac to it's remote, then the ATV remote will always be able to activate it, even if the ATV's remote is paired to the ATV (and vice versa).
    In case you don't know how to pair the remote. Hold the remote aout 3" from the iMac and hold the menu and next buttons down for about 5 seconds. You will see a linked chain on your screen once there are paired.

    when i log into my icloud e-mail my apple id is already there ,, is there a way to keep it from automaticly putting it in there

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.
