I have an iBook g4 14" 1.42 ghz. I recently installed a new hard drive.  I put the install CD in. Then, I pressed the power button, then the "C" key. Black screen and No chiming. Please tell me, what I can do to resolve this? What is the problem with it?

Since it will not boot then a hardware test can't be run. You could try FireWire Target Disk Mode and if it works then access from another Mac to run tests on the new drive. You could also try installing the OS X software from the host computer. If this does not work then professional help should be considered.

  • Pro won't start.  Instead get a black screen and a beeping every 2 seconds. LIght at front right corner of keyboard flashes in sequence with beeping.

    If it is giving a single beep every two seconds, then it is not seeing any of the memory.  You could try taking the back off, remove the memory module and reinsert to see if that corrects the problem.  Or just take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs do that for you.
    If you are uncertain about working on the memory modules, you can find on-line videos for doing so at OWC, http://www.macsales.com where you can see the procedure for your year, make and model of MacBook Pro.

  • I have organised my photos in an album but when I open a new book to start putting the photos in, they come up in the book in a completely different order?

    I have organised my photos in an album but when I open a new book to start putting the photos in, the photos come up in the book in a completely different order?

    Yes - in the book they are sorted by date
    Suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto meniu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    You can start the book with one photo and then add others by dragging them to the book project in the source pane on the left

  • Hi, never used support before - here goes! My Mac G4 MDD no longer shows the start up hard drive icon. The one with all my files on! It shows the other 3 hard drive icons and boots up OK. Has my start up hard drive failed? Can it be fixed? Thanks.

    Doesn't sound like any hard drive failure to me - more a Finder preference.
    Finder -> Preferences -> General -> Show these items on the desktop -> Hard disks
    The startup disk is sometimes treated differently from other disks (such as external and network disks) and I'm guessing this is a simple preference setting, although I might be wrong.

  • How do I disable the flipping back and forth between pages with PgUp and PgDn? Please tell me that I can!

    As of Firefox 4, it seems to have been decided that PgUp and PgDn are now buttons with which you flip back and forth between pages. To me, this essentially means almost losing valuable information because I actually use those to go up and down pages, so I wonder; How do I disable this new and utterly inconvenient feature?
    Please tell me that I can!

    In your system details, I see this plug installed: ''Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.0''
    You also appear to have a later one, though still out of date installed namely, ''Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5 ''
    First of all, click the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the Macromedia version.
    Then go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ and update the other one.
    If the problem persists afterwards, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • My iMovie is skipping like crazy when I try to edit and then goes to a black screen and you can only hear the audio!?!? What's happening??

    I use iMovie almost everyday for Youtube videos. I have nothing in my imovie except the 5 clips that I'm editing now. I have all my media on an external hard drive and delete everything after I'm done with ( I empty all trash cans). My iMovie is now skipping when I try to edit and then the clips just go to a black screen and I can only hear the audio, this has been going on for a week and I don't know what to do?!? Any help?

    Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller

  • Problems installing OS  I have an iMac 21.5 (Mid-2010) and in trying to load a new hard drive, after choosing the installation disk the apple logo comes up and then stops and the keyboard and mouse goes dead.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Problems installing OS
    I have an iMac 21.5 (mid-2010) and I'm trying to install a new hard drive.  When I choose the installation disk the Apple logo comes up and it stops there.  Then the mouse and keyboard goes dead.  I'm trying to install 10.6.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Since you have a new hard drive, there is nothing on it, so you need to boot from an external source (and probably format the hard drive before installing an OS). Are you booting from the 10.6 install disk? Better yet - do you have a bootable backup clone or at least a Time Machine backup?

  • My iPod has a flickering black screen and will not turn on. What can I do?

    I accidentally left my iPod in my car for a few hours. It reached about 80 degrees outside, so I am worried. It did not turn on at all. Afterwards, I let it cool down and it still will not turn on. I plugged it into my laptop (PC) and it still does nothing. If flickers between two shades of black, but it does not do anything. I am starting to think it may have affected the battery. I have been experiencing problems with it not wanting to turn on without being plugged in for months now, but I did not really do anything about it.
    I need help. I do not know what to do, so any form of help will be greatly apreciated!

    I was afraid of this, to be honest. I kind of figured that I broke it completely.
    I no longer have a warranty on it because I have had it for about three years, so I do not even know if it is worth taking in or if I would be better off with buying a new one.
    If I were to replace the battery, would that help with the display or would it still be flickering a black screen?
    * Sidenote: I do not like that I am not too savvy when it comes to Apple products, so I apolgize if it seems like I am repeating myself or sound confusing.

  • I ran a settings up date on an iPad 2 and now it won't start back up.  Just a black screen and an apple.  Any ideas what to do?

    I ran a settings up date on an iPad 2 and now it won't open back up.  Just a black screen with an apple.  Any ideas?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up properly ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully boot up fully - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
