Leopard stalled during instalation now iMac wont work

Hello,
The Leopard install started in my kids iMac G5 then stalled at the white screen with the circle spinning and just stayed there. after finally getting the disc out and restarting it just goes to the white screen with the spining circle.
I tired putting in the original OS recovery/install CD and same thing. Cant get past that screen?
any suggestions how to fix this.
thanks

Follow the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US and reset the PRAM and the NVRAM.

  • The new itunes update will not install properly and now itunes wont work at all

    k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

    My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
    Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
    If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I connected my ipod before installing softwear and now it wont work

    i connected my ipod before installing softwear and now it wont work...like abosolutely nothing...its frozen

    First of all, try resetting the iPod. It may take several attempts and is best done connected power.
    Then download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then follow the set up procedure.

  • I updated my iphone to the ios6 and now it wont work.

    i updated my iphone to the ios6... and now it wont work at all.
    it wont even turn on, it keeps going back and forth between the black screen and then the apple mark pops up for a few seconds, and then turns back to the black screen again... and that just keeps going on...
    someone please help...

    Seems like ios6 isn't any good for any of their devices. I have an iPhone 4 and recently updated to ios6 and have had all the wifi problems and apps getting hung up on load screens. Restore is your best bet and downgrade if you can back to ios 5.1. If restore doesn't help with a fresh install of ios6 then call every Apple support number you can find and be heard like the 1,000s of other people like us with ios6 problems demanding support. There doesn't seem to be any quick fixes for ios6 other than an update from Apple.

  • I accdently formated my shuffle and now it wont work what do i do?

    I accdently formated my shuffle and now it wont work what do i do?
    That and when I plug the shuffle in to the comp iTunes doesn't reconize that the shuffle is pluged in.
    it has updated a-few times. and when iTunes sees that the shuffle is in the comp it tells me that the songs are on the shuffle.............but when i unplug it and put my headphones in no music comes out of it!
    so what am i to do
    shuffle 512MB Windows XP

    I'm having the same problem! My good-for-nothing brother has formatted iPod shuffle through "My Computer" and now it won't work. Neither iTunes nor iPod software updater recognise the thing. To be honest, neither application even start when the shuffle is plugged in! And now I've just read that apple says you "SHOULD NOT FORMAT" shuffle. What am I to do? Have I lost my iPod for ever?

    I decided to delete about 300 messages from my iphone 4 and now it wont work. I can't sent any messages. I tried to turn off my phone... But nothing seems to work. Please help!

  • I downloaded the update and now it wont work.

    I downloaded the update and now it wont work. It just shows me a screen with a lightning chord going to the Itunes icon. Am I supposed to plug it into my mac or something?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Downloaded IO5 to my 3gs and now it wont work

    I just tried to download IO5 to my 3GS and now it wont work, boots up in Japanese or maybe arabic and wont let me do anything, was working OK before the download, Itunes says "no sim card present"
    Please help

    Keep trying. The update server is overloaded. You will eventually get through and your update will continue where it left off.
    I got the error message about 12 times before it finally connected and continued.

  • Re-install of Tiger 10.4.11 non intel now Itunes wont work

    Hello all. decided to clean my old imac G5 non intel by reinstalling tiger and now itunes won't go at all. It launched as expected but when you try to go to the itunes stores it states in the status bar 'connecting' but then nothing happens. Have installed the most recent versions up to 8.2 but in each case it wont work.
    I'm thinking there must be a config problem somewhere in itunes. Have deautherised  then reuatherised and am able to sign in, but still no joy any help appreciated - Jimmy

    I don't know the iTunes requirements for using the Store but it would not surprise me at all if iTunes 8 no longer works with the iTunes Store.  I know my iTunes 7.5 stopped working with the Store several years ago.  I hear they recently changed how the Store appears in iTunes which suggests they did a software change and probably didn't even consider anybody would still be using iTunes 8.  Apple is pretty fast off the mark for abandoning support for older platforms and I would be surprised if iTunes 8 continued to work with the Store for this long.
    iTunes 9.2.1 (the newest that will run under Tiger but I don't know if even this will still connect to the Store) - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1056

  • Accidently turned off mac during install now it won't reinstall

    As stated above I accidently turned off my mac during an install of lion. Before installing lion i used disk utillity to delete the Hdd and now it wont resume the instalation. It´s booting with the lion disk and enters the instalation, but comes up with a fail message saying that lion connot be installed. I have tried to redelete my Hdd using diskutility but it still wont work. cannot seen to get anywhere from here.
    what to do...?

    I had a similar problem.  See this problem / answer for a solution:
        http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    which I found at:
        https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3207417
    Resetting the PRAM by pressing Command-Option-P-R during the boot was all I had to do.  It automatically did a restart and I pressed Option to get prompted for the boot drive (don't know if I had to do that last part).

  • My itunes told me there was a update to do so i did it now it wont work or sync with my phone!

  • I have reset last night now it wont work HELP!!!!

    I have reset 'Erase All Content and Settings' and now my phone wont work, I have tried to put it into recovery, that worked but turn it back on again and it stays on the apple and the loading circle doe nothing else, I dont know what to do, it the goes blank then does it all again

    Do the following:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
