I think my iBook G4 got "fried" this a.m.

I was writing emails this morning when there was a "pop" and the house electric went out. When it came back on I could not start my iBook G4 again. I think it may be fried but I made an appt with the Genius Bar just for confirmation. I did not have a surge protector attached!! My fault!! Is there a re-set button somewhere I don't know about?

The following kb article will tell you how to reset the PMU:

  • I just got the Itunes update. So frustrating. I will be trying methods on this forum to save my library and re-install the older version of ITunes. What was Apple thinking when they developed and released this mess?

    Apple is more likely to see your comments if you send feedback via:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    =Downgrading from iTunes 11 to iTunes 10.7=
    You may be able to go back with Time Machine but this may involve restoring other items too (https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441404).  Alternatively:
    Back up your computer first, in case the unexpected happens.
    Quit iTunes.
    Get iTunes 10.7 from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576 or the direct download link at:  http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
    Do a few preparatory steps by making sure all iTunes components are not running and cleaning old files.   See https://discussions.apple.com/message/20475394.  Do steps 3 and 4.  Steps 6-8 may be also useful but I don't know if they are essential.  Some of the other steps are not necessary, duplicate steps listed later in my post or are perhaps even unhelpful in the process.
    Replace the iTunes 11 application with iTunes 10.7.  Simply dragging the application to the trash may not work. Lion (OSX 10.7) and newer systems have iTunes integrated into the operating system and deleting is a bit more involved.  Two ways to do this are:
    1.  Use the shareware Pacifist utility (http://www.charlessoft.com/) to install iTunes 10.7 including all associated system files. Details at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=16400819&postcount=6
    2. Check this reference on how to delete the iTunes application itself:
        Delete iTunes in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/13/delete-itunes-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion/
        After deleting the application there may be other files that need downgrading too. See the note about error -42408 at the end of this post. You may want to tuck these away somewhere safe until you have completed the installation of iTunes 10.7.  I have not tested this but ideally if newer versions are not found then the installer will put in the old versions. This may include these files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ which apparently get updated by iTunes 11:
    AirTrafficHost.framework
    CoreFP.framework
    DeviceLink.framework
    iTunesAccess.framework
    MobileDevice.framework
    After doing one of the two procedures above you will have to rescue the most recent old iTunes library from your iTunes > Previous Libraries folder. Rename it "iTunes Library.itl"  and replace the existing one in the iTunes folder. A newer version of iTunes irreversibly updates your library file so you have to replace it with the old one or you will get an error message. Note, this will revert your library to the version at the time of the upgrade and you will have to update any changes made since.  See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20401436 - turingtest2 11/2012 post on rebuilding empty/corrupt library from previous iTunes library file after upgrade/crash.

    Alternatively, check https://discussions.apple.com/message/20441424 which requires you have a Time Machine backup (though possibly if you remove the newer version of these files old ones may be installed with the iTunes 10.7 installer - untested).  A  variant of this is at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20448184

  • My PC with iTunes on it got fried (lightning).  I have a 2nd PC with iTunes on it.  How can I move my devices to that iTunes (I have recovered data from the drive)

    I had a primary PC that had iTunes on it that got fried by lightning strike a few months ago.  I have several devices (1 iPod, 1 iPad, 3 iPhones) that were synched with that iTunes install.  I had a secondary PC with a separate iTunes installation on it (separate music library.)  I recovered the hard drive so I can move the music to the secondary PC, but how can I sync my devices with that 2nd installation of iTunes without losing all of the information on those devices?  (I haven't saved or synched those devices since the summer.)  Can I keep the playlists from from the first PC?
    Thanks in advance for any and all help.

    Sorted it out. If anyone has this problem i reccommend visiting http://forums.ilounge.com/ipod-classic-ipod-5g-video/237546-ipod-classic-80gb-fr eezes-itunes-need-restore-plz-help-2.html#post1403546 there's some pretty good advice on it. have to go into control panel and re-format iPod into NTFS file. good luck.

  • How do i tell my iPhone 6 to wifi sync with a new macbook? my last macbook got fried by the cat and I cannot access it

    My lovely old macbook running Snow Leopard got fried by the cat.  My new iPhone 6 plus still wants to wifi sync with this dead macbook and how do i tell it that i've now got a new macbook running Yosemite?  It's greyed out on the phone sync page and although i've authorised this new computer I don't know what else to do.  I don't have a back up from the previous computer - the phone was restored in December when I upgraded.

    Have you tried getting your old computer repaired, or did your Snow Leopard completely fry it? See what I did there.
    If you can, try and scavenge the old hard drive and try and boot from it with Boot Camp (you will need something so you can connect the hard drive to your computer with a USB). A quick Google search will tell you how to do that.
    That way if you can get on to it, you can tell your iPhone not to sync with your old computer (which you would be running on your new computer) and instead tell it to sync with your new computer.
    I hope this isn't too confusing for you (no offence - I mean my writing, not your knowledge).
    Thanks, Charlie
    PS. How exactly did your cat fry your old Mac?

  • Thinking of joining BT? Read this first...

    I'm not great with Forums and as far as complaining in the relevant place, I'm unsure of where to do so.
    My problem lies with BT as a company.
    I recently signed up for BT entering the contract with an online order.
    I have BT Vision, Broadband w/Hub and the Phone Services of course.
    I was mislead and miss-sold to upon entering the scheme, being promised x amount of channels on the website within the description of the package (BT Gold On Demand or something to similar description). Later finding that I am effectively paying for a Freeview Digital box with the ability of low quality on demand features.
    At no point was I fully made aware that the capabilities of the TV service did not match the likes of Virgin or Sky for the sheer amount of programs received. I was always under the impression that this was just an alternative to Sky, as Virgin would be seen.
    For the reason stated I am not satisfied with the service, therefore chose to cancel the services within 7 working days. I then received a rather informal call from one of their representatives, "just letting me know" that this would cost me approx £750 in cancellaions fees. This is appalling. To see a big company try to mislead someone in such a way, and then try to claim the funding for the remainder of the contact which was never fully stabilised is sick.
    I am fully within my right to cancel this service, without inducing any fees of any sort. I am fully educated in the Distance Selling Regulations and I know my rights. BT as a company is therefore breaking the law in formally threatening to charge these rates, during my conversations with multiple Front Line Managers who also thought it would be nice to mention their companies corporate solicitors "who are very educated within all the t's and c's" and so on and so forth.
    I am currently within my 7th day of service. I am willing to pay for the 7 days, for the first month in fact. I have informed them that I am willing to return all goods, within the original packaging, in full working order. And I will even accept the up front activation charge, for their inconvenience. On a whole I think I am being reasonable. But the Front Line Manager of the Doncaster Call Centre (not to mention any names...) confirmed that he was effectively the dead end of my journey if you will, he agreed to pass me onto the Complaints team who he said will only re-itterate what he had told me for the half hour of my time he took. 
    I am displeased with the service given. With the way my case has been handled. With the unprofessional manner of every representative I have spoken to this afternoon. With the misrepresentational method used within the layout of the website itself. And more importantly, I am displeased with the manner of which a well known company such as BT chooses to handle its current/possible customer base. After certain legislation was brought forward in 2000 in an attempt to protect customers in the fields of safe and fair selling, it disgusts me that Ofcom and the likes would still oversee such bad practice.
    I'm hoping that at the very least, possible customers thinking of joining BT will see this and think twice. I hope that this post will achieve something, with it being on BT's website I'm sure it will cause some fireworks, I just hope this is seen by whome ever may be able to deal with my complaints in an appropriate manner, as opposed to the unprofessional representatives they place on their frontline to deal with their loyal customer base.

    I hope potential customers see it too. I don't understand how/why/whether the distance selling act does/doesn't apply - but I'd certainly not want to be in your position.
    However if your only gripe is that you don't get as much content as you expected, then I'd encourage other potential customers to check out the BT Vision website which does give a pretty fair representation of what's available On Demand. And there is a lot. For the first 3 - 6 months most people will have no problems finding stuff they want to watch. After that period though it does begin to get a bit patchier. Their library could certainly be bigger.
    My main gripe with their content is that they tend to show one series then remove it and add another and you can no longer access the last series - so if you weren't a customer at the time or you simply didn't have time to watch what they had at the time then you're stuffed as you can't record it.
    $ky have bagged all of the rights to show stuff first. So don't expect BT Vision's content to be on a par with them on that front. But that's why you're considering BT Vision right? Because it's cheaper.
    Also you don't have to stick an ugly satellite dish on your house. And the On Demand doesn't have any ads - which is terrific. I think people that pay to watch TV with ads (especially the quantity on $ky) need to have their heads examined.
    The Vision PVR is excellent if getting a bit dated. It doesn't do Freeview HD and it's only got 80 hours worth of storage, which is a bit tight in this day and age particularly as they provide no way of archiving recordings. And they don't do a multi-room solution.
    But if you know all that in advance and are happy to accept its limitations then you will get some quality entertainment at a very reasonable price.

  • HT1751 My computer got fried and when I downloaded my itunes onto my new computer, the playlists I created were gone.  Any chance of getting them back.  I spent alot of time on these as you can imagine.

    My computer got fried during a storm so I purchased a new PC.  When I downloaded my itunes library, none of the playlists I had created appeared.  Is there any chance on retrieving these from itunes?  I spent alot of time creating them for certain occassions.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Read this on how to do that https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    Regarding iTunes U courses, would I be able to link to books/sites (like say an amazon hardback book or link to a kindle book they can purchase and download).  Considering that not all books are available on iBooks I'm hoping this is allowed.   Also the possibility on monetizing since amazon gives commission for linking.  
    This question is for both the uncredited (private) courses and the bigger accredited accounts.    I am a  developer trying to learn how to help my area schools and also have some ideas for my own courses.    Obviously keeping within the iTunes U app would be preferred in most cases (to the learning experience) since they can take notes and see them within the app itself.
    If the reply comes from a non-apple employee please let me know (or better yet, link to) where that is clarified.   I would hate to develop something just to later find out it is against the apple iTunes U agreement.

    Fair question
    And, to be even more fair, I have to tell you that I get that every single day. And it's getting worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).
    I always try to let people know it's a long way until you get to a confortable point, a point where you can create something. And that's exactly what I am trying to do, or at least asking how/if I should do it. And then I let them know where to start. That's what I want.
    Thanks.

    Hi jybravo70, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may be experiencing issues on your non iOS 8 devices because iOS 8 is required to set up or join a Family Sharing group.
    The following information is located in the print at the bottom of the article. 
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • Physical Filename Issue ( got past this ) and New Invalid Guideline Issue

    I had a problem ( from before ) getting a file called --> test_oracle.edi into the system. I am using a set up of EDI X12 over Generic Exchange together with FILE 1.0 protocol.
    The file has a sender of ACME and a receiver of GLOBALCHIPS, which to be parsed correctly from the b2b.log file; however, the system had problems finding the TPA, since at this point, its FROM PARTY was set to "test".
    I renamed the file from above to --> ACME_oracle.edi, and I now got past this issue, but now have a new --> invalid guideline problem, as seen in the b2b.log file.
    Note that a filename of --> ACME.edi also fails.
    Can someone tell me if there is a restriction on filenames and secondly can someone help me out on this --> "invalid guideline" issue.
    I have emailed SANKAR my EDI file together with the b2b.log file.
    I need to get past this stage, and into SOA.
    Thanks as always.
    Arthur (203-921-5925)

    Arthur,
    Some findings that I can share with you on this-
    When using Generic Protocols like File and FTP you may want to set the following property in tip.properties file
    oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.allTPInOneDirectory - If set to true, it identifies trading partner based on File Name, if false, then identifies trading partners based on FolderName.
    The logic behind it explained well by Ramesh in an old post, probably you could dig-it up on the Forum.
    But its surprising that you are getting an invalid guideline error, ideally it should throw
    "trading partner agreement not found" error. You might also want to look at the this thread - Re: EDI over FTP
    To confirm the issue - please rename your sample file with this naming convention <TPNAME>_<DOCTYPE>_<DOCREVISION>.dat, ideally if this error is because of file naming issue, it should get resolved by using this file naming convention.
    and a technote from Oracle ( B2B_TN_010_Transport_File_FTP_Internal.pdf) is available on OTN, which details out the File naming conventions.
    hope this helps,
    Shailesh
