I reset my macbook and now I cannot get past registration screen
I reset my parents macbook because I have battery issues (was not showing a battery present) so i wanted to do a full reset
i did the whole..command prompt.. mount -uw, dir....applesetupdone ... shutdown -h now..
my computer restarted at the registration screen - once i finish it and put in my password it says creating account...then resets.. and i tried it over and over and over and the same thing happens
i dont know what to do?
The Mac is already registered when the first admin account was setup. The "faking" has led to a re-registration, and if you use a different Apple Id than one originally used, the Apple servers disallow a brute-force takeover of support profiles which tie Apple Id and machine serial numbers. Please skip registration and continue.

G5 acting very strange and now will not get past grey screen with Apple log
Hi I have had my iMac G5 for a few years and it was working perfectly up until today ! When I switched it on and it started playing up. Every application I opened would randomly shut down. For instance, Safari would crash and mail would crash, as well as the finder refreshing itself. This settled after a short while. Therefore I thought things were fine until I pressed the < or > buttons in finder and the system would refresh itself ! Weird ! Fortunately I backed up all of my iTunes.
I can see the hard drive when I hook it up via firewire to my MacBook Pro.
The problem I have now is that the machine will not boot up ! It gets stuck on the grey screen and after a short while the fans kick in like the thing is ready for take off !
Any ideas ?????
Thanking you in advance !Apple Discussions!
Which model G5 iMac do you have?

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh355.html Getting information about your computer
Depending on your model, try one of the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733 (Ambient Light Sensor), iMac G5 (iSight): How to Reset the SMU
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341 How to reset the SMU on a Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) or Power Mac G5 (Late 2005)
If the above does not work, see if you qualify for one of the following:
iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues
The 20-inch iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Power Supply Issues (Rev B)
**WARNING: DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR COMPUTER'S SERIAL NUMBER ON THESE MESSAGE BOARDS.**
If you do not qualify for any of the above programs hopefully, you have AppleCare and/or your computer is still under warranty & you should contact Apple and/or your local AASP.
Good luck! -
My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer. I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function. Ideas?
The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation. -

My mom has a brand new Macbook Pro which was set up at the Apple Store and now she cannot get it to accept her log in info. What should she do next?
Thank you sig--it seems in talking to her on the phone that she was not giving me the info correctly and she couldn't get into her bank account, NOT the computer. The computer is fine she was just frustrated with the bank's system and feeling alone with no help handy...
I appreciate your reply. Thank you. -
I updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on my 2008 model MacBook and now I cannot turn on the wifi. I go to System Preferences, Network then click on wifi. I click Turn Wi-Fi On but it doesn't respond.
Whats the fix?Forget all the suggested solutions for correcting the WiFi connectivity problems with the 2008 MacBook Pro. None of them work. Just purchase a Bear Extender (bearextender.com), install its software, turn off your computer's WiFi (and don't turn it back on!), plug the Bear Extender into your USB, and you will have consistent WiFi connection. Bear Extender never drops!

I have an older iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. The other day I started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup.
I can get into safe mode. But no regular startup.
I tried disabling bluetooth, thinking that might be related. It didn't help.
I even tried using the install disc to run disc utility. That didn't work so I reloaded the OS.
But I still get hung on the blue screen when trying a normal startup.
All help would be appreciated.Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

Just updated to v. 10.5.2.11 and now i cannot get emails...any ideas?
Just updated and synched version 10.5.2.11 and now I cannot get any emails. Using Comcast and Outlook. Please let me know how I can retrieve them. I had no problem until now with either my iphone3 or this phone until I updated. Thanks for your help!
After upgrading to 5.2.1 I wasn't able to view my movies or tv shows (I wasn't using homesharing). I kept getting "can't connect to Apple store" and unable to access account errors.
I found this thread and some others, and was a bit frustraited that there was no clean solution. I restarted my AppleTV, but didn't want to reset if I didn't need to b/c I didn't want to re-enter all my account info. So I tried something simple....
I simply unplugged AppleTV for ~1min, and plugged it back in. After that it worked fine.
I'm not sure if this will work for anyone else, but it's worth a try since it's easy. -

Cannot get the Apple.. what?
Model and actual device you are talking about?
Apple covers a pretty huge range.. If you mean extreme.. did you reset it to factory and start over.. that is always necessary when you change a network. You cannot pick up a router from one home and network and plonk it into another and have it work.. aint gonna happen.
You also need to power down any pure cable modem for 20min or so to get it to forget the old MAC address that captured the IP so the Apple ??? has a chance to work. -
Not much more to add. I did a restore to an earlier time and still no joy. I am at a loss. I am not a totally savvy computer person at all, just know enough to get into trbl. That is why I stay away from most things that require me to make judgement calls. However this was a black/white decision and now I cannot get an important aspect of my Outlook calendar to work----Help please!

Installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load
installed latest update and now i cannot get itunes to load
I was having major problems too. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/. If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and I don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to be sure that it will work on your first try, use internet explorer when you download itunes. Hope this helps...
