Is my computer worth anything?

My IMac Flat Panel G4 has finally died, no fan, no response. We think it's probably the logic board because we replaced the hard drive not long ago. I am having a hard time taking it out to the dumpster because I feel like something could be of use or it could be recycled. Any recommendations on what i should do?

Apple will properly recycle any computer when you purchase a new Mac.

Also, if you put it on eBay as a "for parts" iMac G4, you may get a buyer because the LCD and neck mechanism, which are probably working fine. You can re-use the hard drive yourself. If you added RAM, you may be able to sell the RAM separately.
Make sure you have done some basic trouble-shooting. For "no response," you should try resetting the PMU.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hi. My ipod touch (3rd gen) will not turn off or resond to anything and will not connect to a computer. the screen will not go into sleep mode and i dont know what to do. help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How much is my computer worth ?

Hello,
I'm planning on buying a Macbook Pro 2012 but I'd like to do something of my Macbook that's been my faithful compagnion so far. To this day, I still don't know whether I want to give it away or sell it, but this is why I'm gathering informations.
I have no idea of much my computer is worth today and I was wondering if you all, could help to price it.
Bellow : Screenshots of my computer's configuration, it is all in French but I'm sure it'll be easy to decipher, if in doubt though, don't hesitate to ask me.

Thank you in advance !

Have you tried looking around on craigslist, ebay? It might be able to at least provide you a range to price it at. Just look at what others are selling theirs for and if you are really looking to absolutely get rid of it price it slightly lower then the norm. If you really dont care about getting rid of it to quickly and would rather get a little extra cash then price it at the higher end of the range they are going for.

What is my computer worth today?

How much do you think my Power Mac G5 is worth?

Dual 1.8GHz Power PC G5
Memory:
4.5GB DDR400 (PC3200) RAM
Hard Drive:
160GB Serial ATA
300GB Serial ATA
Optical Drive:
Super Drive (DVD-R/CD-RW)
Graphics Support:

I'm not trying to sell it. Delta Airlines crushed it. I would understand that the plane might sway and might hit the computer, I understand that it might be thrown into the plane, I understand that it might be tossed into the the cart and all that. What I don't understand is how does a well packaged, 60lb, stable-cube-of-a-box with fragile stickers gets thrown off and ran over with the luggage transport? I would think it's their responsibility at that point. Carelessness.
Just need to know how much it's worth. Stripped down with 1GB, no Airport, and no 300GB HD, originally sold for $2,884 back then.
I estimated $2,500 today.
What do you think?
Any help would help so so much. Thank you all!

I took in a lot of consideration of what this whole thing caused me to do.
I didn't add that that as soon as I heard it was crushed, me and my partner wasted no time to find a replacement computer for the job we were working on. We ended up buying a Mac Pro and finished the After Effects job using a 1GB stick of RAM (which I dreaded throughout the whole project).
I went ahead and sent a letter to Delta Corporate and asked for about $4,500 in damages and replacement parts. I need two new drives (the work in there is priceless, it has years of design work) and other parts in which costs me more money to replace.
There is a typed up story if anyone wants to take a gander at. It's at http://www.orangeglue.com/delta - I made it with iWeb 08' (it came with the Mac Pro, I wanted to see what the hype was about and man, Apple adds a bunch of code to make a simple site like that function, but it's understood since it's a WYSIWYG) I posted Pictures as well.
Anyways, I'm still working with a 1GB chip and man it *****. I can't wait any longer for the response from Delta, so I'm deciding to buy new RAM now but am having difficulty. I added a new thread for that http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1111785 - With Delta, I'm hoping it get's reimbursed.
Thanks everyone for your responses!
I'll keep this thread up to let you know on Final Details on what went on with my G5 and the Corporate People of Delta and how they treated this situation.

When I plug iPod Touch in . It nor the computer does anything

When I plug my iPod touch into my computer, nothing happens. I did a restore of my ipod on a different computer, but still nothing has happened when I plug it in to my laptop. I need help fixing this. I cant add music or anything to my ipod. The cord is fine, I can plug it into my playstation 3 and it will charge. So the cable is fine its the computer.

I talked on the phone with Apple. He told me to . Uninstall everything that has to do with itunes.
1) Apple Application Support
2) Apple Mobile Device Support
3) Apple Software Update
4) Bonjour
5) Itunes
6) QuickTime
Then Restart.
Download itunes. Install
Restart. Then plug in ipod

My ipod touch 4th generation wont charge in the computer or anything because of its a unknown device. what do i do?

I can't reset it because I need my pictures and I paid for some apps and I don't want to just loose them because of this situation. Can you please help me?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I can not uninstall itunes in my XP computer for anything!

I have tried over and over to uninstall itunes and keep getting this popup about Bonjour.msi? I tried to do the uninstall as said on the web and now quicktime is gone and I can't do anything because itunes need quiktime. I'm lost and confused here people. Now when I try to go into itues it won't open up because quiccktimes is gone. What do I do now a complete reboot of computer?

I have tried over and over to uninstall itunes and keep getting this popup about Bonjour.msi?
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

IPod will not start, charge or respond to computer or anything

All of a sudden, my iPod stopped working. it will not respond when i attach it to my computer, it will not respond to the charger - anything.
Any ideas to make this iPod not worthless?
Thanks

Have you tried a Reset?
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.

TS3694 When I went in to back up my new iphone, I didn't go in as new phone and I lost my iOS 6 setting. How do I get it back? i have tried downloading ios on my computer, get anything from 6 hours to 34 hours to download!! Is there anyway on the phone i

I went in again, chosing restore, itunes is currently downloading again! this time it says 44 minutes remaining. If my computer goes into hibernation, I have to restart and then download says 4 to 35 hours?? Trying to recover the ios6 is frustrating. I didn't chose the correct set up as new phone, because I wanted to set up my apps, etc. My new iphone is the 4GS, and it came already set up with the ios 6. Just trying to get it back! Also, can not get my wifi to set up. Thought it would recognize the settings and all I would need to do is put in my ID and password? My download is now saying 66 minutes?

If you want to go to the first set-up screen of iPhone, like after a restore, then on iPhone tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If you want to have your iPhone basically Restore itself, then tap Settings App > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

HT1212 my ipod is disabled, but i DO know the passcode. and iv never connected it to a computer or anything. how do i fix this?

and i dont have a computer to downlaod itunes.

Disabled
Without iTunes:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
With iTunes
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I cannot get iTunes Internet radio to appear on my desktop iTunes installation on any platform, any computer running anything later than iTunes 10 or older. I have checked the box for Internet radio as a source

Yet iTunes keeps insisting, via promos and everything on their website, that I can use iTunes radio. I used to use this all the time and it just appeared as an item in the Library list in the sidebar.

Ha ha, it is a great computer......luckily for me, the liquid cooling system has never leaked as I've read others have suffered......
I never knew that 10.5 would install in this G5...I always thought that Tiger was the end of the line. How much memory do you think it might need to run 10.5? My Dual G5 runs 1.5 Gigs of ram......
The reason that I'm shy to upgarde to the next system is that IF something bad happens, our home business accounting Appl is on it...even though it's backed up to an external HD, the appl. (Quicken 2007) may not even be available anymore for the newer OS's so I'm going to eventually have to pony up for a new appl. that hopefully will import from Quicken.......
I also have Adobe CS2 on it and my 3D modeling appl. on it (Vellum)............I've gotten so used to running the newer CS suite that it's painfully slow on the old G5!
Thanks so much fo the help, GT!!! I mean it!

Is my ipod worth anything?

I have an ipod touch. I believe it's a first generation. There's really nothing wrong with it, just a few scratches. I hardly ever use it anymore since I have an iPhone. Is there any way I could make a profit from it?

It's clearly worth something, and if it's working correctly you certainly could sell it. Even if it wasn't working some people buy for parts, though obviously they don't pay much. You can look on eBay for the sale prices for iPods of your same vintage and capacity and get an idea of what you might ask for it. You can confirm what model you have here:

I have an iPhone four and ever since i updated my iTunes to the latest verison it will not connect to my computer or anything. It charges in the wall just fine. It makes the noise when i plug it in but wont charge or connect to iTunes. It is not my cord.

My cord is not the problem I have two different cords but neither of them work. What could be the problem? I can still charge my phone through the wall, but until this is fixed I basically can't use iTunes.

I have the same problem even before updating to IOS 6.1
