IBook G4 Missing HD Volume?

My iBook G4 will not boot up.
I turn the power on, hear the chimes, then see a dark screen. (No Apple logo, no pinwheel) That's as far as it goes.
BUT, I can boot from disk (holding down "C" after chimes), and when I get to "Select Destination" it shows no volume to select.
I can also boot it as a hard drive (holding down "T") and it shows a USB symbol, but when I hook it into another computer (MacBook Pro), it doesn't show up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you absolutely cannot find your hard drive, there is a chance that it became unplugged from the logic board. The cable has a piece of yellow tape over it, sticky side towards the logic board. There is an aluminum shield that is next to the tape, and on my iBook the edges of the tape became quite firmly attached to the shield. It's possible that if this happened to yours, the connector may have worked its way out of the socket.
Were there any symptoms preceding the disappearance of your hard drive? Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test? If so, were there any error messages concerning the hard drive? It's probably worth discussing everything that happened leading up to the disappearance of the hard drive in case there is a clue as to what might have happened. And to be sure the problem is with the hard drive and does not lie elsewhere.
Please post back with a little bit of background information and we can take it from there.
Good luck!

  • Audio Filter missing:  Internal Volume Stereo - corrupt project?

    Hi,
    I am getting this error when I open my project. In addition, no media will play in the project either in the sequence window or the source window.
    It all appears and will scrub (with no audio), but will not play.
    I dug around a bit and I found that there is a known bug with audio from XML's and that is what I am using (convinced my client to migrate from FCP to Premiere - please don't tell me I made a mistake).
    Everything worked brilliantly for a week, including the addition of audio filters, and then all of a sudden - bang. No more.
    I have painstakingly deleted every audio filter and I am still getting this error. I have also tried a re-install.
    Another oddity is that when I try to quit Premiere, it will not quit all the way without a force quit!
    I'm running CC 2014 on a brand new mac pro.
    Desperate,

    Steve and Bill,
    I follow your advice, but it did not solve the problem. It is true  that  problems began when I used ZOOM recorder at 98kHz/24 bit in my current project (I already changed ZOOM mode to 48kHz/16 bit), but could this be just a coincidence?
    In the meantime I checked the rest of my 16 projects (.prel), which were fine before. To my surprise I found that although all of them were made using EXACTLY the same method, some of them are still OK, but most I can not Playback. The messages appearing are of three types:
    1. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Balance".
    2. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo".
    3. "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed".
    In one case, when I opened a project the first time, the message was "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed", but when I opened it second time it said " Audio Filter missing:Internal Volume Stereo". It seems to be random.
    Some projects can be opened, but when I try to Playback  there is no sound.
    I am completly lost. Please help.

  • Missing Weight / Volume data in handling unit

    Hi; I'm trying to realize automatic packing function for outbound delivery.
    System works well after POP1 - creating packing instruction, POF1 packing instruction determination. However, after I change package material master data (Volume / Weight), handling unit is missing weight, Volume data in new created delivery document although packing instruction has been determined.
    Checking Packing instruction master data, total weight / volume has been automatically updated. Why new handing unit is missing weight / volume data during automatic packing transaction in delivery?
    Is there any things i'm missing? Can anyone help for this? Thanks.

    Thanks for your answers, Csaba and muthuraman.d.
    Yes. I was also supposing that HU can automatically calculate weight / Volume from Material master data (package material & packed material). It worked before(the week before last week). Now new generated HU are missing those data. This error is in case on all deliveries.
    Even I create new package material / new finish goods and brand NEW packing instruction for testing, HU can be automaticly generated by auto packing button. But they are missing weight / volume data. This problem seems not relevant to master data(package material weight / volume) changes. I'm suspecting system program has some changes but I don't know where it is.
    Only when I set indicator at packing instruction - " Maintain Weight manually" or "Maintain Volume Manually", those weight / volume data can be coppied into new generated HU in delivery which is full packed.
    System really can automatic calculate weight / volume  data directly from Material master data for HU before(not set - "Maintain xxx manually" in packing instruction). What's wrong with it now?

  • Audio Filter missing:  Internal Volume Mono

    All of a sudden this error message started popping up
    Audio Filter missing:  4:1635083896 1278365011 1802721110  Audio Filter missing:  Internal Volume Mono
    Also now my timeline is not working, some tracks are missing volume envelopes and when I scroll up and down it's all messed up and I can't do anything.
    What's happening?
    I tried re-installing the latest update CC 2014.1 but no go...
    Help!!

    OH man, Im also having loads of other audio issues with this update. Clicks, pops, audio often mutes on it's own. No audio comes through and there's screeching huge noise...ng
    Really disappointed with this! Im paying good money for the CC and today alone Ive spent 4 hours trying to figure out these massive issues.
    Im using multiband compressor and EQ and the instant I add those to the timeline the troubles begin.

  • What iBook is missing...

    I love to read books in their original language, so I really miss some additional dictionaries.
    There should be a selection of different dictionaries with different languages.
    Furthermore, I live in Italy and have access only to the Italian Store, which does not have many books and the few ones are not in English.
    I want to use my iPad primarily for reading, give me a hand to get the best out of it
    Thumbs up and a big "nice work" for the work you already did on the iBook application, which is the best one out there

    In these forums you are just talking to other users, so best also post in the channel Apple has set up for such requests:

  • Books purchased through iBooks App missing on ipod touch 4 after updating to 5.0.1

    I updated my ipod touch 4 to version 5.0.1 and now all of the books I purchased through iBooks are unable to load because "the requested resource is missing." When I go to Purchased items, it appears empty.  But why I go to the Store to attempt to rebuy the book I was reading, it doesn't give me the option to purchase, stating that it has already been downloaded.  Anyone else having a similar problem?  Or better yet, does anyone have a solution or advice???? Thanks.

    If or some reason you failed to transfer any purchases to your computer before updating, then redownload them:

  • Missing "System Volume Information" from a Drive

    Hi,
    I am trying to setup FSRM in Windows 2012 and while adding G:\ for file screen, I get the following error. Upon investigating the issue, I found that "System Volume Information" is missing under G:\ and same folder very much exists in C: and other
    drives except G:\. Therefore FSRM doesn't allow me to add G:\ for file screening.
    Event ID 8197
    File Server Resource Manager Service error: Unexpected error.
    Error-specific details:
       Error: RtlCreateSystemVolumeInformationFolder on volume C:?\Volume{bca40430-5752-11e3-93fe-001dd8b71cad} returned 0x5, 0x8000ffff, Catastrophic failure
    Any thoughts and how can I get that folder back so I can configure FSRM?
    thanks in advance.
    Merwin

    Hello,
    System volume information folder is a very important system folder for the file system to work properly, besides the issue you have with FSRM. 
    I would reccomend to backup up the entire drive as a precaution. Try to fix FS errors by executing "chkdsk g: /f" (you may temporarily turn system restore off). 
    In case nothing works, you have always the option to format the Drive and restore the FS structure.

  • Low OS9 resolution on iBook and missing network files

    Greetings:
    I have a 900mhz 14" G3 iBook and in addition to Tiger 1.4.9 on one partition and Panther 1.3.9 on the other, the Panther one also hosts OS 9.2.2, which I can use as a start-up disk via the Preferences panel (though it doesn't show as a startup option with Option key on startup). My problem is when I run OS9 it appears on a shrunken 640x480 screen (a rectangle in a wide band of black), which is the only resolution available that shows up on the OS9 Monitors panel. Other forums say I need a new screen driver that matches my OS version and my iBook, but where do I get such a screen driver to enable a full screen? Also, how can I fully update this OS because it seems to be missing the files to run Airport.
    Thanks for any assist!

  • IBook Repair, Missing RAM

    We sent in an iBook G4 for a repair last week. We purchased the computer with an extra 512MB of RAM so it had 768MB total. When the computer came back from Apple the RAM was missing. The worst thing is that Apple is not going to correct the problem. They will not return our RAM and they will not pay for us to buy new RAM. We've already spoken to several people at Apple. Our next step is I suppose to file a police report. Any advice on resolving this issue?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    These people are weird; had a similar situation.
    I sent my iBook to the repair store for my "freezing problem."
    They fixed it beautifully, but the outer case of my iBook looked as if it had been in the Iraq war for six days.
    I called, complained, and I got my way.
    All you need to do is call them up [AppleCare], with your orignal receipts (iBook and the extra installed RAM) and demand for your RAM to be placed back in. You have the proof, just fax them all the information as your proof. If they refuse, I suggest you take legal action.

  • Missing/Lost volume

    After installing Leopard from OS X 10.4.10 my Applications volume is missing. It is listed in Places, but when I click on it, I'm told that it cannot be found. This is serious because this volume contains all of my programs (too many to list here.) I went to Disk Utility to see if that would help but nothing. I have 2 internal hard drives and one external drive. The 2 internal drives were partitioned, so I originally had 4 volumes. The drive that used to contain 2 drives, now only shows 1. How do I recover that volume. I'm desperate! Thanks in advance.

    You might have to invest in a more thorough program like [DiskWarrior|http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior> or [TechTool Pro|http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid =83]. Disk Utility is somewhat limited in it's ability to repair damaged volumes (which is why you get the flashing question mark).

  • ITouch 1st gen OS 3.1.2 - missing touch volume control

    Does anyone know if apple has made it possible to upgrade the 1st gen iTouch to OS 3.1.2 without losing the volume controls? I have read some people saying that they are missing volume controls and others just forgot to plug in their headphones. Does the iTouch volume control work on a 1st gen? I really hope that I don't have to upgrade hardware to get the new OS. Any help would be appreciated. Also, is it possible to downgrade firmware to a version that supports touch volume, if it's necessary?

    I tried restarting my iPod Touch by holding down the top button until it gives the option to power off. This didn't seem to help, as there was still "no volume available", however, when I moved the iPod Touch from the dock and plugged the jack directly into the port, the volume control reappeared immediately, and when I moved it back to the dock, it stayed present and is still there now. Earlier today, when I used my headphones, there was also "no volume available", so perhaps power cycling did help?

  • Pavillion DV9005US missing green volume bar

    Running XP.  I can't get my green volume slide bar to appear on the screen.  I have verified all my keyboard drivers are current using HP on-line support.  I verified my display settings are enabled in startup--maybe I missed one?  I desire not to install a third party volume control if I can avoid it.  Can someone help me re-establish the slide volume that came with the HP laptop?
