I have an ibook g4 that boots to blue screen and hangs. Safe mode will boot but hangs after log in. I have reset PRAM, NVRAM, and the PMU. Booted from Diskwarrior and rebuilt and tested the HD, working properly. Boot from Tiger dvd shows images? no text
The tiger install dvd boots only to show an image of what looks to be two steps, not sure what its showing me.. possibly inserting RAM? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Could you get a picture of the screen, load that into your working computer,
and post it into a reply here? There are a few kinds of situations where a
similiar display of that sort may appear.
Given the G4 iBook PPC (which model) is a bit dated now, one has to
assume you have the original 'install-restore' DVD it came with, new.
What was or wasn't it doing, before you chose to try to boot Tiger DVD?
Do you have a second Mac, one w/ FireWire ports; maybe Thunderbolt?
It may be possible to further look into the ailing iBook G4 via FireWire
from a second Mac, and attempt to investigate, or save old data to some
external drive, USB Flash; in case you need to totally wipe the HDD.
An image of the iBook screen may be helpful. Someone else with recent
troubleshooting or extensive use of iBook portables (or other OS X issue)
that presents such a screen instead of a normal progress screen, may
have an immediate idea. Without an image, I am not venturing a guess.
What key did you hold down while trying to boot the computer from DVD?
One set of keys can get you a Startup Manager. Among other options.

The sync function on my 3rd gen iPod Touch doesn't work properly. It won't sync all the podcasts I've downloaded, and it won't delete ones I've listened to and deleted on iTunes.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I have received a notice that my forms central account has lasped due to being unable to charge credit card. I have changed cards and will update, but do not want to pay a full subscription since Forms is ending. I am in the middle of a process that will end in a month. What do I do to be able to finish this process???
It is a bad situation. Your credit card expired but you cannot change it because FormsCentral is retiring.
Please consider moving your forms to JotForm right away. It takes a few minutes to do it using JotForm new Import Wizard:

I have an ibooks file that when I make a change to a page in one chapter it adds additional pages at the end of the chapter from another chapter. Any ideas what is going on and how I can fix this?
Text pages? from what you say you are getting the auto flow function to add pages either because you have flowing text or because you have a lot of blank lines as you would if you tap return to move blank space around.

hey guys, iv recently changed over from the 4 to the 5 and i have lost my 5. Luckily a few days ago i downloaded find my iPhone but when i log in it tracks my old phone and not the new one. I have logged in so i dont know why it wont connect. I'm really upset about lossing it, if anyone one knows how to fix the problem or another way of tracking my phone that would be great.
The iphone 5 can only be located if connected to a data or mobile network. If in Airplane mode or switched off, it can't be found.
Check this article for more info:

Had to start Firefox in safe mode cause it kept crashing after i deleted the file. Now Fire fox Crashes every time I open it and I have to put it in safe mode just to use it, also it's not syncing with my iPad.
If you use Norton software, try disabling your Norton extensions. As of last week, there were severe compatibility issues with Firefox 24.

how do you "image correction" in PREVIEW in a macbook pro? I have an iBook G4 that gives it as an option in the tools drop down window.
From preview:
Tools-> Adjust Color-> Auto Levels
Or you can import the image into iPhoto:

My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died. I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'
Try putting it into recovery mode.
Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
Open iTunes
Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin. -
Mac Mini Intel boots to blue screen and gets stuck
Mac Mini running 10.6 Intel won't boot up. I get the chime, then the apple logo, then a blue screen, then nothing but the small rotating circle, which appears and disappears about every 5 seconds (not the color wheel, but the one that just looks like hands on a clock turning.)
Per apple online help, tried starting up in Safe mode. Same result. No boot. Just blue.
Per apple help, I started up in Sinlge User mode and ran Fsck from command line (I don't have the install disk). First run of Fsck said FILE SYSTEM WAS MODFIFED. Ran it again, per apple help. Second time, said volume appeared to be OK. Typed "reboot". Same result. No boot, just blue screen and rotating circle.
Not sure what else to try. Any help?
ThanksSometimes PRAM seems to retain info from a previous startup disk error condition. There is a small chance that resetting the PRAM might help.
You can get a replacement for your original OS X install DVD and any bundled apps from AppleCare (1-800-275-2273) for a shipping and handling fee. You will need to provide your Mac's serial number so they can send the correct DVD(s) for your specific model. -

Hey, I just installed ML on my OCZ Octane SSD, everything went ok, However, it got stuck while rebooting and now I can only see flashing question mark icon and ML won't boot at all. Only in safe mode...
It looks like ocz is aware of the issue and trying to address it via firmware:
