I am and have been having major problems with my G4
I am hoping someone can help me solve these problems.
Issues I am having with my machine:
1. No sound in the speakers.
2. Red light in audio jack.
3. Very slow performance.
4. Extremely long start-up time for both system and applications.
5. Fuzzy monitor.
6. Monitor clear on the left side, fuzzy on the right.
7. When applications are running, very slow response time when changing from one tool to the other.
8. Most Adobe products do not respond upon start-up or shut-down.
9. Machine locks up, stopping clock, force quit, or any other function I am trying to perform.
10. The machine never behaves the same way twice in regard to start-up shut-down, etc.
The performance and functionality of my machine has become progressively worse. Can anyone offer any suggestions or tips? I see there are many discussions on related topics. My machine has multiple problems and I would like to remedy as many as I possibly can.
Thank you.

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
Derek RandallI don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

We have been having a problem with newsletters for a client.
The newsletter works fine except if we add a button and/or link to the top zone on that newsletter it blows up ONLY ON iPhones!
This happened last month too. It seems to be related to length of the newsletter too. It works on every device except iPhones - so weird.Hi, is anyone else experiencing i-phone only problems on email campaigns? not bashing Apple, just having issues where our newsletter are only having issues on iPhones

I try to click on the games or other users names or anything that opens another link and it crashes. This has been happening off and on for about a month but has gotten regular in the last 4 or 5 days. Anybody have any ideas?? Also, it seems that Firefox has affected Adobe. I am having lots of issues in the last few weeks but when I use Windows I'm OK????
i have the same problem with the above..firefox is running too slow with the games in facebook..but it runs good when browsing my updates, msgs, photos...firefox is totally opposite of IE..IE is faster with the games and slow while browsing..i love to use mozila but when i do games it really pisses me off...hope you could help me..

If I click the go-ahead button, I am warned about not be assured of security danger. This keep happening over and over. It is a pain using email since LION. I went into Keychain Access and tried choosing an Apple certificate, but that is never permanent. Should I just ignore the warning? Will this kind of problem disappear with Mountain Lion? Is there a solution?
What email program are you using?

Bioshd2..i have been having a problem with this bioshd2 error..no drivers detected..
The comp is an hp 6530f.the first time the prob occured was when my dad unpluged the computer from the surge protecter..upon restart,it just says boot failure insert system disc and press enter.when the comp..was orriginally purchased there was no recovery disc and i never made one.when i do a diagnistic it says bioshd2 error no drivers are detected..i tried changing bios settings and a few other things and nothing.so i turned the comp off and the next day turned it on and it booted up normally.the comp worked fine for about a week then one day my dad moved the comp a few inches to check somthinig behind it when the comp suddenly started to shut down by itself..and when i tried to turn it back on, i got the same thing. bioshd2..idont think my hd is bad because it came back on but what could be causing this problem..i tried alot of different things, even taking the battery out for 12 hours to reset bios and nothing..i left it alone for about a week and when it was turned on again it booted normally.now it is working but im afraid of it happening again..ive looked at all of the wires in the comp and dont see any faulty wires..i checked the power supply because when my dad moved it it shut off so i figured it was that but power seems to be working fine.ive been trying to perminetly fix the problem for weeks now and i dont know what else to check..any help would be awsome thanks.
If the motherboard is touching the case it could cause problems. A short in a wire could cause problems as well.
I don't want to say toss the computer around to see if it happens again, but unfortunately it's one of those things that you might not discover it happens again for another month. At that point you can start with changing out the cabling, it's a rather cheap inexpensive fix, then inspect the motherboard, look to see if there is any point where the board could be making contact with the case.
If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.

I am having major problems with my track pad on my macbook pro. Even though my settings haven't changed...my trackpad is no longer responding as it did before. The left hand corner no longer clicks when I press it and my personal commands which I set up in preferences no longer seem to be workin. Please help!
Some websites have an internal mute or volume setting. If that's not the issue, see below.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked

then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane. -
Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac.... Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it. Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together? I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day... yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first. Sorry to say this is a major lemon. Help!
Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem... got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem. My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion. Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem.... Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh No problem! Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today! I'm getting mad... It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer . & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update. I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride... & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to start over. When are they going to fix this! 'Not feeling very positive'. I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system. 14 days... oh please...

I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.Hi David-
The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

Just installed Lion and the Magic TrackPad and I am having a problem with one click commands. I have to hit the pad fairly hard with one finger to get it to accept the command. Is this normal, is there another way that I am suppose to execute commands?
No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.
This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hi! I just bought Lion and I am having a problem with the installation. It keeps telling me that the computer's hard drive has a S.M.A.R.T. problem. How can I solve it?
Thanks!
AngelaYou may have a hard drive problem. When I installed Lion, the installer told me that it couldn't complete because the hard drive was failing (or broken, the exact words escape me). Since the HD had been functioning just fine, I took it to the Genius Bar, and found out that yes, the hard drive was slowly dying (bad sectors). I couldn't reboot into Snow Leopard, the installer wouldn't let me and then the drive just wouldn't work at all.
I had to replace my drive and restore from Time Machine. Thankfully, I had Time Machine, and had just done a backup 5 minutes before the crash.
Best of luck.
