Imac g5 hangs when starting up

Hello everybody,
i have just got imac g5, first gen, 1.8 mhz, 20" through ebay.
it was working fine for the first 4 days, the only thing was i had to reset password for system admin so i could change region setting for dvd player.
i had to do this using my system disc for emac g4 as there was no installer discs
with mac (fcuk). anyway this worked fine. dvd played ok over 3 days.
i put in another dvd film (authorised) this has played fine before. anyway it would'nt load got wheel of death, tried to force quit, that didn't work so shut
down hold button at back of mac. thought it would start up again.
when rebooting mac blue screen for 1 sec to grey with apple logo hangs there
for 2 mins (quiet) then stays as is but fan comes on full tilt. and stays there.
i left on for 15 mins but no luck. o by the way got dvd out by holding down mouse at start up.
i have reset pram and had back off to reset smu button net to power button
so if you can think of anything to try,
many thanks
splits

Sorry, I do not use or ever heard of "freehand MX". All I can tell you is to make sure it is compatible w/your current OS & to post in the Adobe Forums since it is an Adobe product.
"also if i could ask what cable would i need so i can get my emac talking to my imac, for transfering files etc."

  • IMac G5 hangs when downloading and installing updates to 10.5

    My iMac G5 hangs when I try to download and install the recent large update to 10.5. Message says restart to complete the installation, but after restart the messages says it is configuring the software, but progress bar shows no progress after several attemps, the longest being over 12 hours. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

    Repair permission & restart your computer. Try reinstalling the OS update from the combo installer if you have not already done so instead of using Software Update.
    If successful, make sure you repair permissions again after all installations are completed.

  • RAC hangs when starting or stopping 2nd instance of 2 node RAC

    Has anyone seen the problem with all transactions and/or logins hanging when starting or stopping the 2nd node of a 2 node RAC database. When I shut down the 2nd instance using srvctl I occasionally get errors and long delays connecting. On our larger database with instances having a very large SGAs, trying to connect you sometimes get ORA-12537 or ORA-01033. Users experience a very long hang before getting the errors. These instances have very large SGAs of about 30GB on each node.
    In the log of the first instance we see messages like the following for quite a while.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have tested with only one node and starting and stopping is much faster without any cache fusion traffic. The application is not RAC aware, it was written without regard for RAC. As you say there may be some accessing of the same block by all nodes causing RAC to remaster blocks when a node is shut down.
    My concern is the length of time users are afftected when I am starting a node that has been offline for a while. With the large SGA I have, it appears users are affected adversely for several minutes, in affect causing an outage which we are trying to avoid by using RAC.

  • Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

    Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

    I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
    I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

  • PS Hangs When Starting

    PS hangs when starting by clicking icon on Windows 8.1 Pro Taskbar: Grayed Welcome screen with nothing clickable. If open any image any format only one layer called "Index" is locked and cannot unlock. Under Layer menu only one submenu available and that is "Layer Style..." and when that is hovered only one option is available and that is "Global Light..."
    Is this some psycho religious fanatic virus? What is going on?

    Maybe a Preferences reset will clear it up.
    Start Photoshop and very quickly hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift. When the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog appears, release those keys and click "yes" and let Photoshop finish loading.
    You have to be quick with those keys, so it may take a few tries.

  • SAP system hang when start the addon.

    Dear Expert,
    I just upgrade one of the SAP B1 server from 2007A to SAP B1 8.8 PL15, everything going smooth both server and clients.
    Except one client (new laptop with Win 7 Pro x86), this laptop fail to start the addon.
    Others clients with same specs Win 7 Pro have no problem to start addon.
    Addon started manually.
    After click start button for that addon, the system hang. If without the addon system working fine.
    If anyone have ideas to check much appreciate and thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mat

    Hi Bala,
    I did try your steps, but no luck. System still hang when start the addon.
    But, I can start SAP addon , example i try Screen Painter, and can start successfully. Only our addon cannot start.
    I'm not suspect our addon because others client working smooth, even the server also working fine.
    I did re-install DIAPI, even re-install SAP client a few time, but still fail to start addon (delete SAP client folder before install).
    Any one face this problem?
    Regards,

  • So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started

    So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started
    anybody know why aslmanager needs 99% of CPU and 2+ GB footprint?

    ok, i found a solution that worked for me. this may or may not be the problem you are having but give this a shoot. i think in my case the asl database got corrupted. unline tiger and below this database is not stored in asl.db in leopard. in leopard, the entire /var/log/asl directory is the database. so to remove the database and start from scratch, you need to
    sudo launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
    sudo launchctl stop com.apple.aslmanager
    sudo mv /var/log/asl/* ~/tmp (you might as well use rm but i wanted to be safe)
    sudo launchctl start com.apple.syslogd
    For good measure I also ran the maintenance scripts:
    sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
    My machine has been dead quiet for hours now. darn, it's back to the kitchen for making my toast.
    so, what did we learn? Mac, PC - same thing; both are great until you have problems. only with pc's you have a lot more resources to tap into...
    Cheers,
    Haje

  • Windows 2003 R2 Server hangs when starting Oracle 9.2 service

    Hi,
    I've been having an error with an Oracle 9.2.0.7 installation where the server will hang to the point where it needs to be powered off as it is completely unresponsive. It hangs when I start the Oracle service.
    I've tried installing the system from scratch a few times(OS, OS patches, Oracle 9.2, Oracle 9.2.0.7 Patch set, Database) a few times however I keep having this same issue issue. I had the system running properly up until yesterday and I thought the issue was SP2 for Windows 2003 as I didn't patch the OS before installing everything however it is happening again now.
    The listener is started and I can't even connect to an Idle instance through SQLPlus when this happens. I just get a TNS Listener error which I will list below. SInce this keeps happening, I'm wondering if it may be a hardware issue (Installed on an HP ML350) but I'm also wondering if it may be SP2 for WIndows 2003 server and was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue. I havne't found anything in the forum nor on Google so I thought I'd post here.
    Here are the last entries in the DB log when it hangs;

    Hi,
    Since the server locks up when the service is starting, it's hard to determine how high it gets but after it starts, it quickly gets up to around 277MB and just stays there.
    I was thinking it may be a memory issue as well as it displays the symptoms of a "light speed" memory leak. I had 4GB of memory in the server and realized that WIndows 2003 only saw 3.5GB so I decided to remove 1 GB but that didn't make a difference.
    How would I go about ensuring that the memory consumption on my DB server does not get swapped much?

  • Hang when starting JDev in Win2k server...

    I've searched this forum and in fact quite a lot posts are saying that they have the same problem. When starting the JDeveloper in windows 2000, after loading the addins it hangs and leaving the splash screen alone :) Many replies said JDeveloper 3.1.1.2 is win2k certified. Ok, here is another unsuccessful case, here is the config of my machine:
    PII 333 192MB Ram
    Windows 2000 server SP1 installed
    MS Visual Studio SP4
    MS Office 2000 Sevice Release 1a
    Default IE version bundled with windows 2000
    JRE 1.3 international version
    System locale: English (United States)
    Installed Languages:
    Western Europe and United States (Default)
    Traditional Chinese
    Simplified Chinese
    Japanese
    And I haven't install any Oracle database and OCI yet. I can say my system config is "clean" enough as all softwares are new installation with most updated patch. And when I set the default language to others (eg. trad. chin.) the JDev even cannot start (only hanged minimized icon in task bar without loading addins and splash screen), therefore I here provide my langauge settings. Thank you in advance in any help and suggestions

    Alan,
    This may not be of much use to you, but all the same I am running JDeveloper3.0 (although this version is not certified for Win2K!!!) on Windows 2000 server with success.
    My system config is
    HP Brio Pentium III 600 Mhtz.
    316 (256 + 64) MB RAM
    Installed Softwares :
    Oracle 8.1.5 Enterprise Edition
    JDeveloper 3.0
    Rational Rose 2000e Enterprise Edition
    IBM WebSphere Application Server 3.0
    Visual Age for Java 3.5 Advanced Edition
    IBM HTTP Server V1.3.6.2
    No problems till now.
    However, I do get some problems with DAC forms in the Design mode - JDev simpler exits!!!But I can counter that by recompiling my projects and then switching in the Design mode for the DAC form
    Other than this there is no serious problems

  • Illustrator hangs when starting up

    Hi there. I've been having problems with Illustrator hanging upon startup lately.
    When Illustrator is opened, the splash screen does not come up until about a minute later. Once the splash screen comes up, Illustrator loads normally. The reverse happens with Photoshop in that it opens fine and then once the GUI is fully loaded, it hangs. It almost seems like whenever any CC content is being accessed, the programs do not load fully.
    The system is a Dell OptiPlex with an i5, 8gb of ram, 256gb Crucial MX100 and the system was installed fresh a few months ago. No other programs have issues and the SSD is also new from when the OS was reinstalled. Already re-installed Adobe CC and Illustrator and the issue persists.
    Sometimes it almost seems like it hangs when trying to access Adobe CC. I did turn off the Windows Firewall but not sure what else to check.

    Sorry, I do not use or ever heard of "freehand MX". All I can tell you is to make sure it is compatible w/your current OS & to post in the Adobe Forums since it is an Adobe product.
