I still have the problem with my Power Mac G3 Blue/white.  Turning the power on i can hear it go thru POST but nothing every shows up on the monitor screen.  Also when booting pressing the "C"  or the Shift key nothing happens.

I don't get anything on the monitor screen.  During startup i can hear it going thru POST but never any screen image.  Any ideas?

The "C" key will work if there is a bootable volume on a disk in the optical drive. Are you running OSX? Jaguar, Panther, Tiger? On OSX (UNIX) you can use the command "S"  (⌘-S) at start up to go to the root and do a file system check: Type; fsck -f -y  at the prompt when it appears then press Return; let the root check for problems and repair. To exit after the test type; reboot and press Return

    If you buy an Unlocked iPhone from the US, you can use that phone on any carrier that supports that particular phone (either GSM or CDMA). So yes, this is possible. But if anything happens to the phone that requires Apple's help, you will have to ship it back to US for that service.

  • CS4 while Adobe fix the problems with CS5 for Mac?

    If anyone from Adobe is monitoring this forum, is it possible for customers who have bought PRemiere Pro CS5 to have access to a fully functional copy of Premiere Pro CS4 while we wait for fixes to two serious bugs in the Mac release of CS5? 
    The problems with not being able to save project files, and the wrong aspect ratio randomly being selected when importing widescreen DV footage - discussed in threads on this forum - make CS5 unusable on a Mac currently.
    thanks.

    You randomly get a saved Quicktime file with the wrong aspect ratio.
    Ah ha...now that I can fix for you ..if you have QT Pro.
    BTW: That behavoiur is typical of QT Player and is not actually random.
    Method:
    Open your mov in QT Pro
    Show Movie Properties  (Ctrl-J)
    Click on Video Track
    Click on Visual Settings Tab
    Un check the Preserve Aspect Ratio box
    (Here is where you now need to do some math to change the 4x3 to 16:9 ratio)
    Divide the Vertical Pixel Dimension  by 1.78 and enter the result in the Vert Dimension box
    Ensure the Preserve Aspect Ratio box is UNCHECKED
    Hit Tab key and notice the image in the QT window change.
    In the QT Window Menu - File>Save  (SAVE is an  IMPORTANT STEP)
    Here is an example:
    QT movie Original is 320x240
    Divide 240 by1.78    ( ie. 240/1.78=134)
    Bingo!

  • I'm back in the states and i still have a problem with iTunes account

    While I was in the dominican republic I wasn't able to make purchases in the iTunes store.  I found out it was because I have a us account.  But now I'm back but it still is not working and everything I try to do make it work is not fixing the problem.

    This is in Google searches? I suggest clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved Google cookies. Or you might try just clearing the cookies first.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    * Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (classic menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • What is the problem with Mail on macs? attachments specifically

    I have had problems forever with mac mail and its compatibility with PCs, but never majorly, i expected it to get better as macs progressed over the years, became more mainstream etc etc, but it appears, to me atleast, to actually be worse now on my new imac with mavericks...
    Now one thing with Mac Mail i have always noticed, but not quite understood is the way when attaching images etc, they appear in the message rather than as a seperate attachment to be opened or downloaded, while i can see advantages to this i have always found it a bit strange.
    When sending these messages it was only a hand full of people who probably had no computer knowledge who seemed to struggle with finding/downlaoding and opening the image.
    Now with the new Imac and mavericks, pretty much everyone i send an attachmed image (usually aslways a jpg) to emails me back to tell me one of the following:
    a) you have not attached the image
    b) can you send an image file (or jpg) please
    c) can you please re-send it as an attachment rather than in the main email.
    Now I work in a media office so am sending a high volume of images to a large variety of people of varying degrees of computer literacy, and whilst  i cant see what they are seeing, I just cannot fathom how pretty much EVERY person i now send images to seems to have problems getting the attachment.
    ive checked the 'windows friendly' option and tried to make the image appear as an icon by right clicking it to see if that helps, but needless to say it seems to make no difference.
    Anyone else having these issues or know a fix?

    I discovered a simple work-around that is successful (at this point in time anyways) on my IMAC/Maverick when sending attachments (not inline or embedded) to PC users.
    There are several threads in here on why attachments embed in mac mail when sending to PCs, and I have had similar issues. Not sure where the fault lies, but other than purchasing an additional program to make mac mail work as other mail programs work when it comes to attachments, I found no real solution that worked for my business PC folks. I did all the right things - sent my attachments in mac mail "windows friendly,"  "plain text," and "attachments at the end" and still got complaints when sending to my pc workmates using Outlook.  I tried another suggestion I found here - zipping the files and sending the zipped file, but my workmates did not like that either and still asked why? 
    By trial and error I discovered that when I attach any pdf to the email as well as the questionable jpgs, the attachments arrive in their PC inbox as attachments that can be used as needed. I don't know why this works, but it has made sending attachments a happier task for my business group.
    I would be interested to see if this works for others.

  • Still have a problem with collage creation.

  • Hi! I still have a problem with my Adobe Creative Suite 6

    I have a student version of the program and all the other such as Photoshop are working fine but when I try to start illustrator, the only thing I get is a box full of something I do not understand:

    Piia, Steve,
    I believe it means procedure starting point (starting point of (the) procedure).
    But that hardly leads anyone closer to anything.
    You could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
    Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • When is Apple going to fix the problems with IOS8 Safari either won't work or is very slow.why can't you contact Apple themselves rather than this method?

    ssince updating my IPad to IOS8 Safari does not work properly ie Marriott website it tells me no server is available yet Google works and other web search have the same problem when is Apple going to get fixes out soon I hope.Also why can't we contact Apple direct on this matter ?

    Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Clear Safari, force close the app and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    In order to close apps in iOS 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    There re are ways to contact Apple directly. Look here for help.
    Contact Apple for support and service

  • Thank you MrHoffman. I still have a problem with login password.

    Thank you Mr.Hoffman. I understand now. However, I do not log in when I boot up. I have no idea what my login password could be. I have never to my knowledge entered one, nor do I know how to. MACs are so cryptic, in addition to being different. So what do I do now? Where do I find my login info or how do I initiate it? Thanks in advance.

  • Power Mac g3 Blue & white no video feed

    i have a g3 blue and white 350mhz, and it has no video feed it powers up and the hard disk spins up but no video feed

    That 17" NEC e700 display is a late-90s CRT type with a 4:3 aspect ratio.  The Apple/ATI Rage 128 in a B&W G3 can handle all of its supported resolutions.  When you wrote that you had tried booting from the OS installer disk as was suggested, what bootable disk did you use?  A model-specific disk from another Mac won't necessarily boot the B&W G3.   Do you hear the startup tone when the computer powers ON?  If so, did you try zapping the PRAM?  Immediately after powering ON the computer, simultaneously press/hold down these (4) keys: Command + Option + P + R.  Continue holding them down until you hear the startup tone a third time.  Release the keys and see if the computer starts up normally with a display signal.  Have you tried the NEC display with another computer, to verify that it works properly?  If it has a detachable VGA cable, have you tried another cable?  I don't know how you acquired the computer or what (if any) claims were made as to its functionality.  Sometimes, computers are retired from fleet use when the time and expertise needed for troubleshooting a problem aren't available.  Perhaps this B&W G3 had a bad graphics card?  I bought a "condition unknown" B&W G3 (Rev. 1) once that wouldn't display a video signal when powered ON.  The 9 GB Ultra SCSI hard drive was making such a high-pitched whine and was hotter than normal.  I removed and disassembled the drive, and found that the read/write heads were completely worn off the ends of the arms, which badly scratched the platters.  The point I'm making is that many of those computers are high-mileage units and are more likely to have a hardware problem.

  • Power Mac g3 blue/white internet issue

    I am running system 10.3.9 and all was well last night. This morning can't get on internet on the g3, my pc works fine. Am direct cabled to router and when the original auto connect with dhcp was set it would generate it's own IP address and router subnet and not work. I switched to manual dhcp and gave it the IP address from the router log. The router than assigned it the subnet and router gateway and it tells me it is connected and online. I can see the ethernet light on the dsl modem blinking as it searches for the internet but browser comes up unable to find internet.I know the netgear router sees it as I am able to print to the network printer. I called macconnection to see if it was a network card I needed to swap out and they couldn't even find a parts list to tell me if it was a seperate card. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Shortly after posting this Verizon sent us an automated call informing us the internet had been repaired at 6:15 Monday night. My wife went off line at 5:30 and it was working fine. A phone call to them this morning and they threw a switch and now both computers are working. Odd the PC had no problems but the older Mac did.

  • Hi, I have a problem with my Epson Stylus NX420. I had it connected and it worked fine but then all of a sudden it just stopped. It said it was offline, but it wasn't. So I tried to reinstall the printer, so i deleted it and clicked the   button to add

    Hi, I have a problem with my Epson Stylus NX420. I had it connected to my computer, and it worked fine. But I preformed a remodel and before the printer was connected to a windows desktop, and now it is not. I don't know if this could the be the cause of the problem. But I tried to print something and it showed me the printer as offline, but it wasn't. Thus to try to fix this, as I have done before I deleted the printer and tried to add it again. But as I went to add it, the printer was not there. I have searched the internet for an answer and I have found nothing. I do not understand why this has happened, nor how to fix it. Please help me.

    Because you had the printer connected to Windows, the print queue on your Mac was for this connection. With you moving the printer away from the Windows computer, the print queue on the Mac will no longer work and will show offline. So for the new connection of the printer you have to create a new print queue.
    Now the question is; how is the printer connected to the Mac. If it is connected by USB to the Mac then it should appear in the Default Add Printer view. If it is connected to the Mac via some other method, then could you reply with how it is connected.
    If it is connected to the Mac by USB then the most likely cause for the printer not appearing in the Default Add Printer view is thenUSB printer cable. So try disconnecting it and reconnecting it or even try another USB printer cable.
