HT2173 iMac G5 2005. It lights up when the power is pressed but then goes off again with a second or two and then nothing happens . Any body knows whats happening? Please help.

Please can any help me. My iMac G5 2005 version has just pack up on me. When I press the start button the front light comes on and then disappears within a second and it then goes quiet and nothing happens. Can any body help on what to do or explain what's going on. Many thanks for your anticipation to help but reading my message hopefully you can get in touch if you know anything about what's going on.
Regards

The most obvious suspect is the PRAM battery.
Depending on precisely which G5 iMac you have:

Have downloaded a driver for my printer ( Canon Pixma ip 4000) from suggestions on this page. It works up to the point of printing but then nothing happens. Can anyone help?

Have downloaded drive from my printer ( Canon Pixma ip4000) to my new macbook air. Used a driver as suggested in previous correspondence in this support group. It downloaded but it does everything up to the point of printing then it stops. Any suggestions?

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:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Trying to order book but nothing happens PLEASE HELP

Hi I'm trying to order a book and when I click buy book the connecting window appears but then nothing happens. I checked my permissions and they are ok. Please help me. Is it because i bought the software with a friend but he registered and not me?? please help trying to make it so i can get it before the 21st,
thanks so much
Adriana

PROBLEM:
1) after creating a book, clicking on the "Buy Book" button does absolutely nothing.
2) after selecting a photo, I can't choose "order prints" from the "share" menu as it is grayed out.
I finally took my computer to a genius bar at an Apple Store. My problem is solved. Here is what happened:
The genius tried several things:
• running Disk Utility (verifying disk permissions & verifying the disk),
• making a guest account to see if same error still occurs (it did),
• checking for software updates, &
• having various internet browsers (i.e.: Safari rather than Firefox) set as the default.
None of these fixed the problem.
He also searched online for a remedy and discussed the problem with at least one other mac genius.
Next he used the Console utility and looked at some log (I am not certain on the specifics here). He said he could see some past mentions of iPhoto in it. He did not explain, but he seemed interested in what he found using Console.
He had booted from his own external hard drive to run Disk Utility. This external hard drive also happened to have the iPhoto software on it. So he ran iPhoto, using my computer but using the external hard drive for the start up disk, using the software from the external drive…. NO PROBLEM (i.e.: the “order print” button was NOT grey when he selected a photo; we did not go through the trouble of creating a book to try to order).
He found mention, on the Apple discussion board, that a genius had fixed said problem by replacing the iPhoto software (i.e.: reloading the software). I too recall reading this several months ago somewhere, but I can’t find it now.
So he renamed my application “iPhoto Old” and copied the iPhoto application from his external drive to my hard drive. Now my problems are solved. I deleted the “iPhoto old” application file. Both applications (the iPhoto I had on my computer & the iPhoto he had on his external drive) were ver 6.0.5.
I discussed with him about how to tell others (you) how to solve this problem. He said it is not simple to reload iPhoto because iLife does not let you re-install just iPhoto. Also, he mentioned something about fooling the computer into knowing what version you have and that Software Update would have problems. I wish I knew more. He made it sound like you should take it to a Genius Bar until Apple makes it possible to re-install just iPhoto software.
I hope this info is helpful to end-users and Mac Geniuses out there. I wish I had my problem fixed months ago so that I would have been able to order photo books for holiday gifts. ☹

I'm trying to download Photoshop CC with the creative cloud app. When I click on updates it just spins and spins, nothing happens. Help!

Hello,
I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC (together with the Apps) doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

My iPhone is a 16GB and it says 9.0GB Available and 3.7GB used; I suspect the missing 2.3GB is occupied by the system software.

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

When I swipe phone to open, and hit the phone icon, then make a call, most times it says "calling mobile" but then nothing happens.

Same thing here. I'm getting very frustrated. When I swipe phone to open, and hit the phone icon, then make a call, most times it says "calling mobile" but then nothing happens. Then I try to end the call and hit the END button. Sure, it looks like the call disconnected, but as soon as I try to make another call, I see the same screen (the first called) and the words "calling mobile". The only way I can rememdy this, naturally, is powering off and restarting. But, c'mon...$300 for a phone that you have to power down between calls???
I've got the latest OS update, no jailbreak, or anything exotic on my 4s. What's more, when I try to make a call 2 out of 3 times, the dumb SIRI opens up and stops me from making the call. (and, yes, I have very carefully checked my process that I am not intentionally activating SIRI with my cheek.)
Again, $300 for all this in just trying to make a call?

reset your phonr by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Gomtomsyetm preferencs and make sure that you HDD is selected as the start up disk. Then start up using your install disc and run disk utility and repair the drive just in case something has gotten corrupt.

IE works, Firefox has no connection- no error message- just continues to say "new tab" and "go to a website," when something is entered, it thinks for a moment, but then nothing happens. Chrome shows error 137 and safari cant find internet.

Firefox and Chrome stopped working for apparently no reason. IE works. Have tried proxys, firewalls, and restarting. NOTHING WORKS. Firefox is the oddest as there are no error messages, but just shows practically no movement. Only movement is a quick "loading spin" in the address bar, but then nothing. The tab continues to read "new tab" and the address bar says whatever site I typed in, but goes no where. Chrome shows error 137 if that helps.

It's not just you, I can't authorise my phone. It seemed to go down just after I started the update (it wasn't my fault though). I am using chrome, and it does not seem to be a firewall issue, or the bannerblock issue that I read about else where, since I dont have that program installed. Strange though how the support forum is still running. If I go to http://www.apple.com/support I get nothing, but googling topics allows me to see em.

I have installed firefox and now have the icon but when i double click on ,nothing happens, please help

I am trying to change web browser from internet explorer to firefox, I have downloaded firefox but I am not able to use the icon . Nothing happens when I click on to use it. please help.

In case you haven't solved this by now...
Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

Backed up itunes to a hard drive, now we cant play any of our music unless harddrive plugged in. And we cant drag any music onto devices! Please help, thanks.

Hi there
Our desktop computer was painfully slow so backed up everything to hard drive (as 1 file) and did factory restore to computer. We have managed to get our photos and documents back to our pc but have struggled with itunes. We now have all our music there in our library but can not play any of it unless the hard drive is plugged in (says cannot locate the file when not plugged in). I manually consolidated files for one album which now means it will play without hard drive but I can't drag that to our iphones & ipods. Please help! Thanks.

*Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
*Thank you!*
