I can't get to anything on my 2004 iMac. I put new hard drive in it and bought it without install disk. I can't get to anything because the keyboard or mouse doesn't work. It won't detect either

I just replaced the hard drive on my iMac g5 and when I turn it on I cant get it to recognize the keyboard or mouse. So obviously I can't get to anything.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • My Imac needs a new hard drive. Can anyone help ensure I get the right one?

    I have an Imac from around 2008-09. IMac8,1
    It's running Mac Os X ver. 10.5.8 and has the stock hard drive in it.
    2gb ram
    Running a 2.8ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and I think has like 250 gb
    I'd like to get something bigger and also upgrade the operating system.  Don't need multiple TB's nor can I afford it but want to ensure i get the right thing for my needs.
    It won't install adobe photoshop 6 because operating system is too old but don't want to spend money on new operating system with hard drive that keeps failing.
    Error code: 4hdd/11/40000000 SATA (0,0) !
    Got this error code about a year ago.  downloaded a manual fan program that has helped but every third day or so it crashes and when i try reboot i get the dreaded question mark.  usually if i let it rest for an hour or two it fires up but i don't want to risk anymore.
    any help greatly appreciated.
    cheers

    I suspect a failed HD, in that case I'd recommend Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode at least 3x. You will need the original install discs that shipped with the computer, if you do not have them any longer you will need to order a replacement set from Apple by calling AppleCare. You will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. The cost should be nominal.

  • Masters in new hard drive... and Aperture can't locate them!

    Hello guys,
    this is my first message here... I'm from Rome, I'm a photographer and I am - obvioulsy - a Mac enthusiast user!
    I use Aperture for a year, this is a great app for my workflow but now I have a "little big" problem.
    Today, I've bought a new external hard drive where I've moved the Aperture Library and all my photo archive (referenced files). Now Aperture opens the library from the new location, it shows all previews but can't locate any master because it looks for them in the old path.
    I'm trying to set up the new one with "Relocate Masters for Projects..." and "Manage Referenced Files..." commands but I had no success.
    Please, could you help me?
    What is the right procedure to solve this problem?
    I'm going mad...
    Thank you in advance!
    Alex

    I found today that you only really need to "re-refrence" one image...so the post above is correct. You just need to have all of the images you want to reconnect when you go to the "manage referenced files" box.
    Assuming that all of them are on the same volume, and relatively in the same location, this should work.
    1) Select all of your images...say all of the 2007 images.
    2) Right click on one that is showing the offline volume.
    3) Select "Managed referenced files..."
    4) Find the 1 file in the browser that needs refrencencing, and it should light up the "Reconnect All" button.
    5) Click "Reconnect All"
    ...it'll take a while (depending on # of images, but it should work.

  • I have Photoshop CS5, and I am re-installing it on a new hard drive. Every time I try to install the updates, it says download failed, and won't install any updates.

    I have tried installing one update at a time, several together, and all at once. I have tried yesterday and today.
    What can I do to get the updates to download correctly and install?

    This is what I am seeing when I try to install an update:

  • [SOLVED] External USB mouse doesn't work

    I've installed Arch on my laptop and today faced with a problem. When I boot with AC off my external USB mouse doesn't work. Also it looks like USB ports don't work. If I detached AC when working mouse works fine.
    I can suppose there is some problem with laptop mode. May be it turns off usb ports to save energy. Anyway quick search doesn't brings any results. If someone give me a hint how to solve this problem I'll be very grateful.

    Well, after diving into configs solution has been founded. The point was to disable auto suspend feature in laptop-mode-tools config by setting BATT_SUSPEND_USB variable to 0 in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/usb-autosuspend.conf
    Hope this information will be helpful for users who probably faced with the same problem. Thank you!

    Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

  • MBP 5.5 can't see my new Hard drive

    MBP 5.5 can't see my new Hard drive even though its running Mavericks off the new Hard Drive through a usb cradle

    I've seen suffienct posts on this site to not argue about the problems with SATA cables, however it sounds like what you're saying is that the SATA cable is bandwidth limited. The types of things I remember reading about are actual breaks in the cable, rendering it useless for all drives, or the insulation wearing off. In the latter, it's on units where the cable crosses over an optical drive and starts intermittently shorting out on the case. If this happens the user typically gets data corruption, but the drive is usually seen and visible.
    On the other hand, I do software development and we have to be able to boot numerous versions of MacOS. For reasons known only to God (and Apple, I hope) once in a while the NVRAM seems to get mixed up and ends up being unable to see the boot drive. Doing the resets always corrects the problem.
    I wouldn't dismiss your recommendation of replacing the cable, but the resets are free and easily done.
    Another freebee to try would be to hold down the "alt' key before powering on the unit, turn on the power, and then, while holding down the alt key, see if the drive shows up as a bootable drive. This will only work if there's an OS installed on the drive.
    In my opinion, it's always best to try the free things before going out and buying anything.

  • Recovery discs do not work with new hard drive

    Hi I have come here desperately seeking help as I am not too knowledgeable with the workings of computers and I have spent an incredible amount of time just trying to get my laptop to some level of functionality.  I purchased a HP Envy and it had a corrupt hard drive which would not work from day one, laptop was new.  After a year of constant pressure on HP they finally decided to replace it and let me choose any laptop so I went with the Beats Envy 14 as it was the best one offered from the selection.  Low and behold the thing would not work properly from day one, again my brother who is much more of an expert said that there was definitely a hard drive issue so for the past 3 years I have put up with a computer that constantly crashes with BSOD, where I have lost data on numerous occasions (only so often I can back up), that I have had to constantly reset the thing using HP recovery discs, and that generally cannot cope when performing multiple tasks.   HP are most certainly shocking builds from my experience.  Then just last week the hard drive just craps itself and the laptop no longer will boot up.  I took it to a guy to get it at leYst working again so he has installed a new hard drive but with an old version of Windows 7.  I want to go back to the Windows version I was akin to on the HP recovery disk , and essentially have it all set up as before except for now having a workable hard drive however I get the message:  "This computer is not supported by the System Recovery Discs.You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs.Error: 0100 - 3385 - 3078" I also tried out of interest to load my old Windows 7 disc I had and XP but had no success.  Tried booting from startup etc and various things suggested on help forums.  Please tell me I am not stuck with this version of windows.  Whilst the discs included Windows 7 it was a totally different version, this home premium one is terrible. Any help/advice would be gratefully received. Thanks

    no they were both 500gb. I read about that already, I heard about creating a partition for recovery etc but this is all a bit above me , as I said I am not very technical when it comes to the working of a computer.  These discs worked perfectly before but now with the new hard drive will not load at all.  I essentially hate the Windows Home Premium verions the guy who fixed it put on, whilst the discs had Windows 7 on them the icons were way smaller, the desktop neater, the buttons different, everything was a lot more modern and I was used to it.  This version looks like something from the 90s, have to constantly adjust size of Mozilla when browsing as it is huge.  I have my own version of Windows 7 on another disc but the hard drive will not let it load either........considering waiting for Windows 10 but again unsure if this new hard drive will even let that update Thanks

  • MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will

    So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
    So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
    To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
    but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
    Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
    If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.

    So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
    His computer, with my SATA cable:
    1) Worked with every hard drive!
    My computer, with his SATA cable:
    1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
    2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
    3) Works with my original hard drive
    4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
    So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine
