I need help with a iMac problem my brother has!

Hello! So my brothers old iMac (around 2-3 years old) would just not start. When i pressed the start button on the back of the computer the screen just turned white with a apple logo in the middle and the typical wheel spinning. We waited for about 30 minutes but still nothing. My friend told me to hold shift+command+r+p and that brings up a menu after a while if i want to restore from time machine, reinstall max os x, get help on the internet or so some stuff with the discs. The last 2 things are not important tho. When i then press "restore from timemachine" or something it starts to search for a backup. After 10 minutes it still hasnt found one. So i went back and clicked "reinstall mac os x" and it showed the disks i was going to install the new mac os x software on.
There was one called "Macintosh HD" and one called "Recovery HD". But they both were locked and i could not install mac os x beacause they were the only 2 disks there. Macintosh HD was about 600GB memory and 150GB free and the other one was only about 600MB. How can i fix this? It would be nice if we could restore the computer back to before because he had some things from school but if it dosnt work we can do a full new mac os x so it is all new and no programs/users on it. I hope you understood what i said because my english is not that good
Its OS x 10.8.4 i think, might be 10.8.2/3 or something xD

I suggest verifying that your hard drive is OK. First power off the system, then hold down the Command and R keys to get into the Mac OS X recovery mode. Once you select your language you can run Disk Utility to determine whether your hard drive is functioning correctly. I suggest using the 'Repair Disk' and Repair Disk Permissions' options. If Disk Utility finds problems (SMART errors) then you will need to get them resolved before proceeding. I believe too many SMART errors can lock your drive.
I also suggest reviewing the following Apple website describing the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program to see if your system is affected. The program has been around for quite awhile. According to the document, eligibility may have ended April 12th depending on when you purchased the system, but it's worth checking.

  • I need help with a browser problem

    I am was given a new iMac G3 (from 2001) which was really never used.I have not yet had any serious problems with it, but really could use some help with a browser problem.
    I have 4 different web browsers that needs the macro media flash player update. The browsers I use are internet explorer, iCab, Netscape, and the original Mozilla Firefox.
    It would be of great appreciation for the readers of this post to answer my question.
    I am also having the problem with installing the plug - ins for the browsers. Thank You For Taking the Time To read This!

    Hi, rynodino -
    As Tom has suggested, plugins need to be installed in the Plug-Ins folder for the browser.
    Typically each browser will have its own Plug-Ins folder, usually located in the same folder containing the browser itself. In order for each of several browsers to access the same plugins, the plugins must be replicated and placed in each of the Plug-Ins folders for each of the browsers. The easy way to do that is to hold down the Option key while dragging a plugin to the new location - a copy (not an alias) of the plugin will be generated at the location it is dragged to.
    Most plugins will display a Netscape icon regardless of where they are located - this is normal.
    It is not unusual for the installer for a plugin to default its install to the Plug-Ins folder for Internet Explorer. So be it. Just replicate the new plugin to the other Plug-Ins folders as needed.
    Note that some plugin installs will involve more than one item. For those, be sure to replicate all items for it. Using labels can help identify what is new, what has been most recently added, in a Plug-Ins folder.

  • Please I really need help with this video problem.

    Hi!
    Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
    I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
    Here is the code for this fla file.
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    preloaderBar.visible = false;
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    btHome.enabled = false;
    var filme : String = "";
    carregaFilme("home.swf");
    function carregaFilme(filme : String ) :void

              preloaderBar.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
              preloaderBar.barra.scaleX =  perc;
    function completo(e:Event):void
              preloaderBar.percent.text = '';
              preloaderBar.visible = false;

    btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onSetsUp);
    btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onVivoDown);
    btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onVivoUp);
    btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onHomeClick);
    btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSetsClick);
    function onSetsClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void

    function onVivoUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
              btVivo.y -= 1;
    Now this is the sets.fla file:
    Here is the code for sets.fla
    import flash.utils.Timer;

    var video:Video;
    var nc:NetConnection;

    video.y = 100;
    nc= new NetConnection();
    nc.connect(null);
    ns = new NetStream(nc);
    ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);
    ns.bufferTime = 1;
    ns.client = meta;
    video.attachNetStream(ns);
    ns.play("http://www.djchambinho.com/videos/segundaquinta.flv");
    ns.pause();
    t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
    t.start();
    function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
              trace(stat.info.code);
    meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
              trace(meta.duration);
    function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
      if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
                ns.resume();
                t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
                t.stop();
    The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
    Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
    thank you

    My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
    Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
    var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
    context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
    context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
    var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(urlReq, context);

    If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:

  • Need help with this book problem...Pig game...can ANYONE help!??

    I need help with the following book problem...could someone write this code for me?? Thanks!!
    First design and implement a class called PairOfDice, composed of two six-sided Die objects. Using the PairOfDice class, design and implement a class to play a game called Pig. In this game, the user competes against the computer. On each turn, the current player rolls a pair of dice and accumulates points. The goal is to reach 100 points before your opponent does. If, on any turn, the player rolls a 1, all points accumulated for that round are forfeited and control of the dice moves to the other player. If the player rolls two 1s in one turn, the player loses all points accumulated thus far in the game and loses control of the dice. The player may voluntarily turn over the dice after each roll. Therefore the player must decide to either roll again (be a pig) and risk losing points, or relinquish control of the dice, possibly allowing the other player to win. Implement the computer player such that it always relinquishes the dice after accumulating 20 or more points in any given round.
    I realize this is a long code, so it would be greatly appreciated to anyone who writes this one for me, or can at least give me any parts of it. I honestly have no clue how to do this because our professor is a dumbass and just expects us to know how to do this...he doesn't teach us this stuff...don't ask. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope someone helps out!! Thank you in advance to anyone who does!!!

    Nasty comments? It's not a matter of not liking you, it's a matter of responding to the
    "I'ts everyone else's fault but mine" attitude of your post.
    If you are genuine, the program is very easy to write, so, your Professor is correct when he said you should
    be able to do it. I'm still very much in the beginner category at java, and it took me only 20 mins to write
    (+5 mins to design it on paper). 2 classes in one file < 100 lines. Most of the regulars here would do it in half the time / half the lines.
    All of the clues are in the description, break them down into their various if / else conditions. Write it down on paper.
    Have a go. Try to achieve something. Post what you've tried, no-one will laugh at you, and you will be
    pleasanty surprised at the level of help you will get when you've "obviously" made some effort.
    Again, have a go. If you don't like problem-solving, then you don't like programming. So, you gotta ask
    yourself - "what am I doin' here?"

  • Need help with my iMac ... it keeps freezing up on me no matter what I do.

    Hello all,
    I need help to figure out why my iMac keeps on freezing up on me. I used to have Norton SystemWorks installed but I recently uninstalled it because I found out it was poison to Mac OS X. I've used Memtest to check the memory in my iMac. The result of the test came up fine.
    You can go to 'Cooling fans for iMac?' (one of my post) to read all of the solutions I have tries out. This post is the original post to try to fix the problem but it FAILED.
    In the last week, I've backed up all of my data to my external hard drive. Then I totally erase my internal hard drive and made sure to zero out the drive. After, I proceeded to install Mac OS 9. I had some problems installing the system at first. I finally installed Mac OS 9 and upgraded it to the latest version of 9. Next, I tried to install Mac OS X 10.3 with difficulty. I then finally installed it. I notice during and after installing the both OSs, my iMac keep on freezing. After I installed Mac OS X 10.3, I updated the OS. And yes, while updating the OS, I've experience the same problem as before. I now have my system back to where it was before I did a fresh install of both Mac OS 9 and X.
    You guest it, my iMac is still freezing up on me no matter what I do. Can someone please help me with this problem? Can he/she tell me what is going on with my iMac and how to fix it? All the help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks for you time and effort.
    P.S. After trying all of the previous suggestions from other users, I came to an conclusion that one of the hardware in my iMac my be failing. I know for curtain it is NOT my memory. It my be something else inside my iMac.

    I've read the thread you linked to above and the only thing I find missing in the saga is any mention of the PRAM battery. If it is depleted (and it would be getting close to depletion if it has never been replaced) it could be causing your problem.
    Do you see any strangeness in the time or date displays? That would be a sure sign that the battery is dying. I haven't run into the problem of a bad battery causing constant freezing but it wouldn't hurt to check it out.
    As far as temperature effects, the usual pattern of overheating would be a shutdown of the whole computer, a designed-in precaution.
    Forgive the battery tutorial if you've already dealt with that possibility.

  • Need help with simple mask problem

    hi there this is mark from superbooty a band that has played in the bay area for over 10 years...
    i was wondering if someone could help me with a Motion2 problem i'm having regarding masks.
    i'm working on this simple animated scene of a car going by a beach - the photo is from the passenger side and shows the outside mirror.
    i'm moving the background (different from the original that came with the car) and i want to move an image of tokyo inside the mirror housing too.
    i figured out how to do the mask but when i try to animate the image of tokyo the mask layer moves with it. when i lock the mask i can't move the image - ???
    there's got to be a way to lock the mask but be able to move what it is masking..
    here are the links to three images that show what the problem is - the first is
    the shot of the scene unmasked, shot 2 is the scene with the mask enabled, and the third is the shot when i try to animate the tokyo background:
    http://superbooty.com/mirrorbeach1.jpg
    http://superbooty.com/mirrorbeach2.jpg
    http://superbooty.com/mirrorbeach3.jpg
    any help would be most appreciated - thanks!

    Adam's solution is the one I'd use - put the mirror contents in a layer, mask the layer, then manipulate the mirror content image. Did this solve it for you - if so, please click on the or buttons over posts as appropriate...

  • Need help with new email problem

    Hi friends . . . I'm not sure if this is a forum that could help me figure out my new problem . . . but I'll give it a try. . .I need some help . . . My email is sometimes being sent to the wrong address. Instead of my Yahoo address, they're sent to AOL instead. At first I thought this was an eBay or Paypal problem, but other mail that I subscribe to is all of a sudden going to AOL instead of my Yahoo address . . .In all of these cases, the AOL address was never registered with the site. I'm not using an external POP mail program . . . just standard Yahoo mail with iMac and Firefox. Anyone have any clue what's going on . . . .thanks in advance for any help . . .

  • Need help with applet related problems

    First of all hello to everyone. I'm new to this forum. I usually can solve my problems google-ing around, but this time I just ran out of ideas.
    I'm trying to develop a jni applet that can run native code for performance. I used netbeans so far and the applet works great when run from within the ide. At some point a managed to make the applet run inside firefox and iexplore, however somehow i screwed something up and now i can't make it run anymore. I don't really know what i did but i think it may be related to these lines in the console since everything up until awt works fine in the applet:
    basic: JNLP2ClassLoader.findLibrary: Looking up native library: jawt.dll
    network: Looking up native library in: C:\Users\Gladiator\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\10\1082924a-7851bf5e-n\jawt.dll
    basic: Native library jawt.dll not found
    Ofc i may be wrong.
    This also my be a local problem because a friend of mine tried the applet himself and said it's working.
    All the jars are selfsigned.
    below i posted the console output in case you want to take a look. Also I am interested about the "try again.." messages that seem to pop over and over again.

    I am sorry for bold, i came here to ask for help. I used bold to differentiate output from my questions since i couldn't find tags.
    I already validated jnlp using JaNeLA and got only optimization suggestions.
    As I said in first post, this works for a friend of mine, so it's possible a local issue with my java or something ...
    Also i reinstalled jre/jdk 7.0, then uninstalled and installed latest jre/jdk 6.
    Hope I didn't leave a bad impression, i just want help.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • Need help with an application problem - Photoshop Elements 3.0

    Hi,
    I wrote to an Adobe Photoshop Elements forum, but the suggestions made there have not helped solve the problem. A friend suggested that I post about it here as there are likely many of you who use the program.
    I start up PSE 3 and it begins to load. When it gets to where it says that it is "building TWAIN menu items" as soon as it says that, it closes. I have put the Photoshop Elements 3.0 Settings file into the trash, emptied the trash then restarted the program (one of the suggestions from the Adobe forum) and that didn't fix the problem. I've deleted that file and uninstalled the program, restarted the computer, then reinstalled the program - and it still closes at the same point in the startup.
    I bought my Mac in Dec. 2005 and bought PSE 3 at the computer store the same day, so neither is very old.
    Have any of you had this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?
    Thank you
    Pearl
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Thank you Rod That worked. Now, what do I do with the stuff I took out of that file?
    What are the files actually called, Pearl?
    The stuff in that folder will be a "TWAIN" driver or drivers for something that you connect to your computer to take images - a scanner or a camera, for example, (though not many cameras use TWAIN these days).
    What brand and model of scanner or camera are you using?
    The best solution in such situations is usually to download a new set of current drivers from the manufacturers web site, and install them fresh. Just stick the old ones in the trash once you have done this, and checked that it works.
    Cheers

    basically, i need to create a program where I input 5 words and then the program outputs the number of unique words and the words themselves. for example, if i input the word hello 5 times, then the output is 1 unique word and the word "hello". i have been agonizing over this dumb problem for days, i know how to do it using hashmap, but this is an introductory course and we cannot use more complex java functions, does ANYONE know how to do this just using arrays, strings, for loops, if clauses, etc. really basic java stuff. i want the code to be able to do what the following program does:
    import java.io.*; import java.util.ArrayList;
        public class MoreUnique {
           public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{ BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String str[] = new String[5]; int uniqueEntries = 0; ArrayList<String> ue = new ArrayList<String>();
             for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { System.out.print((i +1) + ": "); str[i] = br.readLine(); }
             for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
                if (!ue.contains(str[j].toLowerCase())) { ue.add(str[j].toLowerCase()); } } uniqueEntries = ue.size(); System.out.print("Number of unique entries: " + uniqueEntries + " { ");
             for (int q = 0; q < ue.size(); q++ ) { System.out.print(ue.get(q) + " "); } System.out.println("}"); } } but i need to find how to do it so all 5 words are put in at once on one line, and without all the advanced java functions that are in here, can anyone help out?

    you have to compare string 0 to strings 1-4, then
    string 1 with strings 2-4, then string 2 with strings
    3 and 4 then string 3 with string 4....right???Here's a way to do it:
    public class MoreUnique {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
            final int NUM_WORDS = 5;
            String[] words = new String[NUM_WORDS];
            int uniqueEntries = 0;
            for(int i = 0; i < NUM_WORDS; i++) {
                System.out.print((i+1)+": ");
                String temp = br.readLine();
                if(!contains(temp, words)) {
                    words[uniqueEntries++] = temp;
            System.out.print("Number of unique entries: "+uniqueEntries+" { ");   
            for (int i = 0; i < uniqueEntries; i++ ) {   
                System.out.print(words[i]+" ");
            System.out.println("}");
        private static boolean contains(String word, String[] array) {
                 Your code here: just a simple for-statement to
                 loop through your array and to see if 'word'
                 is in your 'array'.
    }Try to fill in the blanks.
    Good luck.

  • I need help with my iMac (malware)

    Hello can someone tell me what to do with this?
    http://s30.postimg.org/gb4y7of3l/Screen_Shot_2014_09_28_at_7_21_45_PM.png
    I got this ads on my Steam client and on my Google chrome, its seems that they dont appear on Safari
    i think its some kind of malware but i dont have any weird extensions and it affects steam too i dont know why
    i tried avast, and eset cibersecurity for mac the trial version but i cant find anything, y tried adware medic too and nothing.
    in the activity monitor i cant find any suspicious process
    the problem appear aprox, a week a go
    i was using mac os x 10.6.8, and yesterday, i updated to Mavericks but this ads wont go away,
    Please any help would be appreciated i'm desperate here

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Desperately need help with a recognition problem

    Running on Windows XP Home Edition.
    I have had a problem with my 30gig ipod video since the start of the month. Whenever I plug it in, windows displays a "Usb Device not recognized.
    One of the usb decives attatched to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.".
    For the past few days i've crawled through search engines and forums searching for a fix but nothing i've tried seems to work. I've tried using different usb ports, reinstalling the software, resetting my ipod but none of ipod's 5 r's worked. In device manager, it just pops up as "unknown device".
    I've tried updating the driver with my disc but all I get is "the wizard could not find a better match for your hardware than the software you currently have installed" and when I click on it's driver details I get a "no driver files are required or have been loaded for this device" message.
    Also, sometimes (usually after a reset) the ipod would appear as charging even though it actually isn't. The iPod seemed to work for the guy at the computer shop (who also charged it for me) while using the same usb cable, I took it back and he restored it form me but to no avail. I've tried turning off my firewalls and I hadn't installed any new programs between when my ipod was and wasn't recognized. Yet another thing worth mentioning would be that my computer wasn't turned off properly the night before it stopped working and that I had to hold down the power button as the comp was stuck on "Saving settings" (Yes. I am an idiot) which is my money on what caused the problem, but i'm not 100% as I have been forced to do this a couple of times before. =S.
    I would really appreciate any help solving this problem.
      Windows XP  

    If you've tried everything else, one other thing to try is to run Registry Mechanic -- you can download it for free and run diagnosis, but need to pay for full version that actually fixes any problems it finds.
    I had exact same problem with two iPods on same computer suddenly (the original 4th gen 60G photo, and the 5th gen 60G video I bought to replace it because I thought it was a hardware problem with iPod.) Neither was recognized (in windows/ in device manager/in iTunes). Sometimes they would charge while connected, but other times they would appear to charge but actually be draining charge.
    I tried everything, over about 12 hours spread across a week, but it was after running Registry Mechanic that my new iPod 60g video was finally recognized.
    My hypothesis is that between all the Microsoft windows security updates I download, and the iPod new software updates, some kind of error was created in the registry.
    Still doesn't seem to recognize my 4th gen 60G iPod though...

  • I too need help with my iMac

    Hello everyone!
    I have a tray loading Blueberry iMac G3. For a while everything was going well as I dual booted OS 9.2.2 and 10.3.9. One day, I decided to try a tripple boot with Yellow Dog Linux. I've been kicking myself ever since.
    After a failed install, my computer won't boot at all. I've tried three different hard drives, resetting the PRAM / NVRAM, buying a new battery. It doesn't boot from either of the OS 9 or OS X install CDs. The screen turns on to a flashing question mark, the hard disk and CD drives spin and read for a few seconds, but never startup.
    I did a lot of research and found information on Open Firmware. Under the 'boot-device' setting when I type 'printenv' it's completely blank. Does that have anything to do with my problem? How about when I type, 'eject cd' it says the eject command failed?
    I've swapped out the hard drives a lot and even the optical drive a couple times - could I have messed something up?
    Thank you very much for any input!

    I don't think these machines are the best for triple booting since they do not have the mac startup manager. You have you rely on linux yaboot.

    I think you need to get these variables re-initialized. Try pulling out the battery for awhile 15minutes. Reset the pmu. Here is the procedure for a related machine:

    I don't think changing these is the solution.

    I have installed Unbuntu on my machine. I got the machine to triple boot.

  • Soldier in Afghanistan needs help with MBPro display problem

    My son is in the Army Infantry (Airborne). His unit is currently stationed in southern Afghanistan on a small Combat Outpost (COP), where he will be for about 8 more months. He has had a MBPro since mid-2008, and his AppleCare Extended warranty is still in affect. This is his description of the state of his MBPro:
    "hey dad, an update. I got the mac to boot using PRM reset. Now, it makes the boot noise and the keyboard lights up but the LCD screen still wont come up. From my online research it seems my nvidia graphics card has gone out. Something which can be repaired cheaply at an apple store. However, i have no way to mail back my computer and the repair involves tearing apart the logic board to replace the video card."
    I called Apple and was told Apple must receive the laptop stateside. As my son said, it is impossible for him, a lowly Specialist, to ship anything home. The guys in his unit are resourceful, and they do have the tools needed to attempt repairs (spuds, etc.). However, we would have to get a replacement logic board to him (at our expense), and we've looked at www.ifixit.com and found the tutorial for replacing a logic board. I personally would never attempt such a repair, even though I have myself replaced a hard drive in my PB and the power port in my wife's laptop. The logic board is WAY under everything else, and the chances of a screw-up are great. And, of course, the Apple warranty would be voided.
    Does anyone have enough experience with logic board repairs to say they SHOULD attempt the repair on site? OR, is there anyone in the military who can suggest a way to actually get this Apple "brick" stateside for repair under the warranty?

    To be fair to Apple, their warranty does state that the need for a repair/replacement must be shown to be necessary to their satisfaction. That means they have to have the MBPro in their hands to examine it. At this time, we cannot prove that the Nvidia card on the LB has failed. Over the 20+ years I've used Apple computers, they've been very good at honoring their warranties. It's not Apple's fault that my son is in a rather faraway place. How many other high tech companies do you know of who have coverage arrangements in this kind of situation? We're not expecting Apple to do anything more for us right now. If we can get the MBPro stateside, I'm sure Apple will treat us well.
    As for a cheap PC laptop, well, that probably wouldn't be a good solution, either. My son is a gamer and uses Windows on the MBPro only for games not available under OS X. The MBPro is an OK, but not great, PC game laptop. However, a cheap PC laptop would probably be WORSE for gaming, so it wouldn't be a good buy. An expensive gamer PC is not an option, as my son hates Windows!
    So, there's our conundrum. Right now, it looks like our best solution would be to get a used MBPro (non-Nvidia!), ship it (hoping it gets there in one piece), then swap the memory from the broken machine into the replacement. This will not void the Extended Warranty. Then my son can re-install his data (and Windows) from the external drive that he uses for Time Machine. That's the current idea, anyway.
    All-in-all, while this is a complicated problem with no easy solution, it's not that big a deal, relative to everything that's going on in my son's life.
    Thanks for your suggestions!
