Imac beeps 2 times then 3 times over and over again

Turn on Imac and it beeps twice.  Screen is white.  Then it beeps 3 times over and over again until I turn it off.

You can run the Apple Hardware test (on your install disk #2) - run the extended test at least twice; also you can take out one of the RAM modules and test, then test the other one.
You can purchase new RAM - best place is one of the two most recommended vendors OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial.

  • I'm using a Rocketfish USB to Lightning cable for powering my IPAD2.  But when I plug it in the battery icon beeps and comes on then goes off...then goes on...then goes...all beeping every time.  Its as if its being unplugged and plugged in over and over.

    I'm using a Rocketfish USB to Lightning cable for powering my IPAD2.  But when I plug it in the battery icon beeps and comes on then goes off...then goes on...then goes...all beeping every time.  Its as if its being unplugged and plugged in over and over.  It won't stop...and its not charging....just beeping.  I've check connections.  Any ideas?

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
    When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
    I hope this helps you my friend!

  • Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

    Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

    This is what worked:
    "In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
    At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
    It fixed my problem.

  • Time Machine Failing Over and Over

    So I am backing up my EX HD with Time Machine for the first time and it keep failing. It stops between 3 gb and about 20gb (I have 180 total). Keeps giving the error "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk ". The HD I was using is a brand new Western Digital that I formatted two partitions. One for my old windows machine and this MBP. I formatted it exactly several times and it keeps failing.
    My neighbor said I need to have a HD that is completely clean, so i went and bought a brand new Iomega HD just for Mac. It also failed over and over! I have read about every thread out there and cant seem to find a possible cause other than my internal HD is toast.
    Has anyone else had this experience before?

    Sorry I'm not sure I understand your question now.
    Let me try: if you excluded your Documents folder and TM now works, your backup size was likely the problem.
    So if you simply remove Documents from the TM exclusion list you will run back into the size problem... no good.
    If you first delete the large contents from the documents folder on your startup disk, then you can ask TM to backup again the Documents folder by removing it from the TM exclusion list, but obviously only what remains there (not the deleted material) will be saved by TM.
    In other words, if you want to keep your 80 GB files on your startup disk, either you do not backup them or you use a larger backup disk. Otherwise you may remove the 80 GB from your startup disk; but now you probably want to keep 2 copies of them in 2 different external disks, for safety reasons, without using TM.
    Did I answer your question ?

  • Commando sensors dead at times and restarts over and over

    In Dec my commando did an update which wasnt the gingerbread update. since then my phone hasnt worked right. All my sensors have stopped working unless i restart the phone but then they stop working after a bit. Due to the Prox sensor not working properly i drop calls all the time. And its restarts over and over about ever 20 min. Did a master reset and didnt help at all. Went to a verizon store and they said i had to go to a Corporate Store. Now I have to drive an hour out of my way to get to one.

    Hello dmmcallister26
    Wow that's not how the Commando should be responding. The problems you described are very upsetting. Let's get this resolved immediately and save you a trip.
    What software version is on the Commando? To check the software version:
    From the main screen, touch menu tab
    Touch Settings
    Touch About Phone
    View Information under Baseband Version & Build Number
    When you completed the master reset did any third party applications reload? Were there any anti-virus or task killer applications loaded on the device? If so please remove and retest.
    Please Let me know the answers to these questions. So we can get this resolved quickly.
    Thank you

  • HT1657 My download keeps freezing, and I have to buy it over and over again and it wastes money. I have now rented my movie 4 times and it still won't finish downloading. Why can't I get the rental for free if it keeps doing this?

    MY DOWNLOAD KEEPS FREEZING AND I HAVE TO KEEP BUYING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT'S WASTING MY MONEY. I HAVE NOW RENTED MY MOVIE 4 TIMES AND IT STILL WON'T FINISH DOWNLOADING. WHY CAN'T I GET THE RENTAL FOR FREE IF IT KEEPS DOING THIS? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? THANK YOU.

    Please turn off your caps lock.  All caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read.  Many will not read such posts.
    If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
    There is no need to keep re-buying it.

  • The language selection screen just comes up over and over again.  I'M FED UP!  I have done the system restore several times to no avail.  WHAT DO I DO?

    I upgraded my ATV and now when I select English during language selection, it goes no where.  The language selection screen just comes up over and over again.  I'M FED UP! 
    I have done the system restore several times to no avail. 
    WHAT DO I DO?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

  • Data acquisition time not continuous, but starting over and over again

    Hi,
    My data acquisition time is not continuous but loops over and over
    again.  Could someone please take a look at my vi to see if you
    have any thoughts on how to fix this.  Also, I tried to set up my
    vi so that I could take the mean of the signal at any time I
    choose.  However, at the same instance that the data acquistion
    time "starts over" again, the mean is calculated (before I trigger it to take the mean)
    I have attached my vi and my output file as a text file so that what
    I'm trying to say will (hopefully) make a bit more sense. 
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding to my question. Attached is the vi with added
    comments as to what I think I am doing.  By DAQ time, I mean the
    first column of data that is in the data file that I attached
    previously.  I am only simulating a signal (at the beginning) so
    that I can program in my office.  I do, however, have the same
    problem as stated above when I change the simulate signal to DAQmx
    using my instrument.
    I hope this clearer.  If not, I'll try again. 
    Thanks so much!

  • Recently my movies and videos take forever to load and when they start playing it's for a second or two at a time. Have to hit the play icon over and over, did not use to be this way they work great on my desktop and iPod

    Recently I have been experiencing my downloaded videos and online vids taking a long time to load and when they do, they will only play for a few seconds at best and you have to hit the play icon over and over. Never had this problem before with the 20 plus vids I have any suggestions would be appreciated

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!
