I have two different emacs with two slightly different problems

Hello,
I just recently got three emacs in used condition. One works perfectly (I'm typing from it right now), but the other two are giving me problems, and I'm not sure what could be causing the problems.
The first one takes a long time to load into Mac OS X 10.4, and when it does, it doesn't seem to recognize any of my usb devices.
The second one usually freezes at a blue screen, but sometimes, it will get to the desktop, which is possibly frozen as well, because my usb keyboard and mouse do not work on this one as well.
What can I narrow these problems down to?
Thanks
Nami

Welcome!
The first step with used eMacs that act out is to see if they fall in a range of machines that had a near-fatal logic board defect. This affects 1.0G and 1.25Ghz eMacs with USB 2.0 logic boards. The easiest way to check is to see if the computers' serial numbers fall in any of these ranges:
G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
If so, there is little an individual can do to correct the problem as it requires a new logic board or, at least, skill in removing and replacing small logic board components.
The number can be found inside the optical bay door:
NOTE: If the computer is an Apple refurbished unit, the serial number will start with "R" or "RM" and the above number ranges cannot be used to to identify a potentially defective logic board.
If you live on the West Coast of the United States, there is a shop in Eugene, OR, that used to offered an affordable LB repair that corrects the issue, If you're not close to Oregon, the cost of shipping a 50-pound computer can double the cost of the repair.
So, basically, the first thing is to see if this condition exists before investing more time (or money).

I have two related keyword problems. Some keywords get "broadcast" to every photo in an event. It's almost impossible to delete these keywords from individual photos. I select the keyword, hit delete and it reappears after a few seconds.

I have two related problems with keywords in iphoto 11. Sometimes, keywords get magically "broadcast" to every photo in an event or album. It's difficult to delete these keywords. If I select one and try to delete it it vanishes. About half the time, it reappears again either in a couple of seconds or after I go to another photo and then return to the previous one. When thios happens, I need to delete the keyword two or more times before it actually vanishes. With several hundred photos in an event that all have a bad keyword, this is a tedious process. I've tried rebuilding the library once, but with only the first (I think) option checked on the rebuild.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

HT4623 I have two sound related problems. Perhaps they are related?

First, my iPhone only plays in mono even though I have confirmed that the "mono" setting in settins/accessibility is not turned on. Second, when I go from using my iPhone in my car connected by Bluetooth to plugging in a headset in the jack, I loose all sound and must reboot the phone to use again. The loss of sound is for the phone as well as playing music. Very frustrating.

Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Is my Video Card Dead or do I have a different problem?

guys.
as of the past week, i've been having massive issues with my display - typically this would happen while running ProTools (in OS9) and at first, i thought it was ProTools causing the issue, but now its happening right after bootup...
essentially, it looks like an old Nintendo game crashed on my computer screen. and sometimes after opening up the computer (or waiting a few minutes) i can boot up with no issue and run the computer for hours with no problems.
i ran the Hardware Test cd (when i was in one of those "no problem" time periods) and it told me the VideoRAM was fine...
here is a picture of the screen i'm getting:
www.burhans-burhans.com/mac.jpg
please let me know what you think. before i spend the money to buy a new Video Card or repair the original (Radeon 9000 64MB) i need to know what the issue is for sure (if possible)
thanks!
andrew

Yes, I looked at the picture and I have not seen that type of pattern before. I have seen cards that were bad/going bad display screen artifacts, some to the point where the image was barely recognizable. My first impressions on seeing yours was either the horizontal sync had failed or that the card had a bad connection.
Apple provided a DVI-to-VGA adapter with the G4's; the other connection is an ADC port. As I recall, the ADC-to-VGA adapters are fairly spendy. You might try borrowing another DVI-to-VGA adapter to rule it out as the problem.
Worst-case scenario is that the card died. Your options there are either:
a) find a used card compatible with the G4's;
b) buy a new Mac card;
c) buy a PC card and flash it
Used cards show up on eBay and typically go for top-dollar ($150 for a used Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition is common. OWC has new cards starting around $220. You may note that in my user profile I have a Radeon 9800 Pro in my machine - it's a PC card that I flashed using the instructions from the StrangeDogs Wiki. I bought the card on eBay ($60) and flashed it on my PC - works like a charm and has Core Image support!
Let us know what you find out.

Seem to have a different problem purchasing music

Hello,
I have an HP PC using Windows XP. I've been using iTunes and the music store for several months now and haven't had a problem until recently.
When I click on "Buy Now," first I get this message:
"Your shopping cart's contents have changed. Either the prices of some items have changed, or items have been added or removed from another computer. Please review your shopping cart and click buy now. OK"
Well, nothing has changed, so I click OK, some time passes, and I get a red X with this message:
"We could not complete your Music Store request. The server was not found. There was an error in the music store. Please try again later."
This has been going on for days. I should mention that I used to have ZoneAlarm and I refused to give Bonjour permission to access the Internet last week, because I didn't realize what it was.
This is what I have tried:
Double-checked my account information.
I removed all songs from my cart, re-searched for them and re-added them.
I updated iTunes to the most recent version.
I removed ZoneAlarm, SpyBot, AdAware, and turned off my Windows firewall. I use AVG anti-virus software and always have--I didn't remove that.
I re-downloaded Bonjour.
I have the XP Service Pack 2 so I did what the FAQ said and ran the "repair" on Bonjour.
Restarted my computer numerous times.
Is there something I'm missing? I have looked at a lot of the support information on the Music Store, and the error messages I get aren't even mentioned.
Thanks.

I sent a copy of this post to Support, and just received a reply.
They said I tried what they would have told me to try, and my strange error messages are likely because I had these songs sitting in my shopping cart when the widespread problems happened in the Music Store. It was suggested that I should disable my shopping cart and buy using one-click until the Music Store problems resolved. I did do that, and I'm able to purchase single songs. However, I was still unable to purchase an album. But since I'm not the only one with that problem, I can wait on a fix for that.

I have ipad 3 locked with the icloud, serious problem

hi...
I have ipad 3 that my father used it and he did an icloud account and now I took the ipad and I did a restore, now it's locked and it requires the password and we don't know it, not even the email of this account and not the answers for the questions, we just know the icloud id, I have all the documents of purchase but no one here wants to solve the problem, I don't know what to do, need help....
thanks

The primary email address should be the same as the iCloud ID if you know that. You can reset the password for the iCloud ID if you have access to the email account as explained here: iCloud: Change your iCloud password.
If you don't know the ID or the password, you will have to get these from the original owner, or have the original owner remove the lock as explained here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. If the original owner doesn't know them, he/she can take the iPad to and apple store with proof of purchase and request assistance.

Two eMacs with two different problems..Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi i am new to the mac world and have recently aquired two eMacs, one with a minor problem - no sound from speakers other than at start up and no sound even through headphone jack, the other has a slightly more complicated problem, when you first turn it on it will not boot at all goes to a grey screen and there it sits, so i force quit and re-boot this time i get an apple and apples progress bar i call it looks like vertical lines in a circle and then there it sits, on the third time it finally boots in to OS X 10.3.2 i believe is the OS and i was told when i recieved this one that it will crash after sometime of stayin on. So any help or if this issue has been addressed please point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi jahnel,
First machine - not much clue I'm afraid... Am assuming you know to turn the sound up What I'd suggest is doing what I'm about to suggest for the second machine...
Second machine - Do you have the original eMac startup CD/DVDs? On them there is a program called Hardware Test, that performs a check of the computer's hardware. If you can run it, it can at least hopefully rule out any hardware issues that may be causing your problems.
Next idea, is to boot from the/a system instal disc, and perform a fresh instal of the Mac OS. Further, I'd first suggest re-initialising the hard drive, to give you a clean slate.
If the computer will not boot from the instal CD/DVD, what you can do is start the eMac in Firewire mode (Hold down the Command and "T" keys during startup), and connect the computer via firewire to another Mac. It will mount the eMac's hard drive onto the other computer, so that you can then use the other computer's optical drive to perform a System instal (In this case, you could actually use the "First machine" to perform the instal on the "Second Machine").

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

Can you have two different users with itune accounts on the same computer?

Can you have two different users with separate itune accounts on the same Ipad?

Yes, create another user profile on the computer and each user can log into their own profile that way.

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

HT4137 I have two iPad's that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to play games with with other, but it recognizes them as the same. I have set up two different iCloud accounts, but still not recognizing the users as different. What

Hello, I have no idea if my question went out, so I'll post it again. I have two iPads (one 3rd gen and one 4th) that use the same iTunes/store account. I want the two devices to game with each other, but the apps recognize them as the same. I have created two different iCloud accounts in an attempt to differentiate between the two, but no luck. How can I continue to use the same iTunes/store account for music and movies, but also have the two devices recognize each other for games?

You can share your iTunes ID and still have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, they don't have to be the same. If you kids don't already have an iCloud account, have them set up separate accounts on their devices using separate IDs. If they are already sharing your account, migrate their devices to separate accounts. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos they wish to keep to ther camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If they are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to them so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in their new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from thier device and won't effect your device), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7). Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create their new account and choose Merge to upload the data. Once everyone is on a separate account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each account separately and delete your data from their account.

I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps!
