Lots of Apps have suddenly stopped working...Help!

I've got an iBook G4 running 10.5.8 and for some reason a couple of weeks ago Safari stopped working. It would crash on launch every time. Then other apps started to follow, crashing on launch. I decided to update to 10.5.8 and Safari worked, but other apps still no longer work, like Firefox and 1Password and a bunch more. I've tried uninstalling some of the apps and reinstalling them, but I still have the same issues. I've tried running Onyx and fixing permissions, but still no dice. Also, every once in a while the computer won't come out of sleep. The computer will turn on, but the screen stays black and every now and then I get the blue screen of death for several hours. It feels like the iBook is on the way out. Any thoughts on how to save it?

I have a similar problem. And I really don't know how it happened. All was fine, I turned it off and when I switched it on next morning nothing worked.
Basically all my applications (apart from a dictionary, a music program and my system preferences) just bounce once and don't open. also, my desktop is empty, which it wasn't before the problem started. Even the finder won't open. But everything still seems to be on the hard disk because the music is still there and I can change the desktop picture choosing from my picture folders.
I tried to fix it with the instructions from the link you posted but didn't work. Thought it could be "Disk, permission, or cache corruption" or "Corrupted preferences other than those of the affected applications". Problem is that I can't run SMART diagnostics because I can't open the disc utility when putting in mac osx install disc. Also, I can't download anything to fix it because none of my browsers work.
Any ideas?

If they do nothing at all, double check system preferences/speech and make sure they have not somehow gotten set as the trigger for Text to speech or speech recognition, etc.
Also try an external keyboard. If it works ok, then your internal keyboard is probably damaged and needs repair or replacement.

Some commands have suddenly stopped working, e.g.; move to, open with now give no list of options

Some third Party Applications have suddenly stopped working

My Onyx, ClamXav. Tiger Cache Cleaner and Speed Download have suddenly stopped opening when I click the application. Eudora, Firefox, NeoOffice, Quicken and MT Newswatcher still function normally. I can't download anything, probably because Speed Download is set to perform that function but isn't working.
The only other unusual sign is that the Sleep function is also taking 10-15 sections to kick in when I click it from the pull down menu. Any idea what's happening?

John, thanks for that info.
1. Does Safari actually crash?
If so, could you copy & paste the most recent report
for us here?
As indicated, I deleted Safari 3 without using the uninstall app; as a result even Safari 2 is not in my apps folder. And in fact when attempting to deal with this problem I found and deleted everything on the computer with "Safari" in the title. And don't ask me to reinstall Safari 2 from the Options package on my install disk; I've already tried that and the Options package won't open.
2. Could you check your System Preferences, and tell
us what is listed in the login items? (Blue
Apple>Sys Prefs>Accounts>YourAccount>Login Items.
"iTunes Helper," Kind: "Application;" three listings for "Expander Daemon," Kind: "Unknown;" one listing for "Expander Daemon," Kind: "Application;" AdobeResourceSynchronizer, Kind: "Application;" "CrossOver CD Helper," Kind: "Unknown;" "MultiAlarm Check," Kind: "Unknown."
3. Do a "Get Info" on the Safari app in your
Applications Folder.
What version does it say it is? (Select Icon, press
the Apple key along with the letter "i" key).

My TFT display suddenly stopped working HELP! G4 MDD DP1.25

Hi all...could use some pointers here. My formac 17" TFT display has suddenly stopped working on my MDD G4 DP1.25 - I use the standard graphics card. Turned the mac on today, and the display just wont turn on, though the silver light on the display flashes (as in standby) which means it's getting power. I also have a CRT display attached to the same card, and it's working as normal which I presume means that the graphics card is not dead. I tried booting from a different startup volume, same result. Any ideas please?? thanks!

no it doesn't support multiple inputs, it just has an on/off switch and is connected to the radeon 9000 pro graphics card (as shipped with the G4) via the ADC connector. Like I said, the VGA monitor that's hooked up to the same card works ok. And....weirder still, the Formac monitor has USB ports on the back, and although the monitor will no longer work (just the pulsing light on the front suggesting it's in stanbdy mode) the USB devices will still work when connected to the monitor - so this means either the card is half working or the monitor is half working!!! But I need to know which before I spend any $$$. Anyone got any ideas please? thanks!

My location service suddenly stopped working, Help !!!

Hi, suddenly my location service of my ipad3 stopped working. It was working good but now the location service in settings appears on a grey color and I can't manage the apps. Please help!

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPad.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Camera suddenly stopped working HELP

I have been editing with a Canon ZR-80 on my G-4 laptop. For no reason, that I can determine, the set-up stopped working today. I hooked everything up and when I opened FCP it said it was not seeing a device. I made sure the camera was in VCR mode, cable secure, on etc and everything was fine. I continued and tried to capture anyway. When I pressed play the camera started playing the video, but you couldn't see it on the log and capture screen. It just says, Device not available.
Please help!

update quicktime today?
if so ...
To do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot

App store apps have all stopped working.

My iPad is only a week old. It worked fine until today. Now, all of the apps that came with it work fine but all of my app store apps have failed. If I tap them they do not start. What causes this?
Thanks,
Kirk Lacewell

Not sure of the cause.
Have you tried restarting the ipad? Hold sleep and home buttons until the shutdown screen appears. Slide to power off. Then press the sleep button to restart the ipad.
If that doesn't work, try a reset, but make sure you have sync'ed just prior to the reset. To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. _Warning: This will delete all data on the ipad_.

Iphone 4 Apps (non Apple) have suddenly stopped working

I let the battery run completely flat on my iphone 4 last night - fell asleep listening to tune in radio. When I plugged the phone back into the charger the date on my phone had reset to 1 January 1970 and the time was about 8 hours behind UK time. All of the apps icons were still there but when I click on the icon the app title page momentarily flashes on the screen before failing. The apple apps are working fine and the ipod music is all there.
I noticed from other posts that a similar problem occurred last year with the iphone 3gs. Has anyone else experienced this problem with the iphone 4 and can anyone suggest how I can get my apps to work. I really want to avoid having to reset the phone and reload all the apps if possible.

Try downloading a free app from the iTunes app store with your iPhone and using the app. If the new app work, try the others.

IWeb sites have suddenly stopped working, can't "visit", won't display.

Hello. I have two sites up, both published to "Mobile Me". One has third party domain forwarding. Both worked perfectly, including the forwarding, until Sunday morning when: http://www.acarguy.net/arnaldoburgosstudios/Home.html (which is masked as www.arnaldoburgosstudios.com) stopped loading and I went straight to the iWeb error page. If I loaded the unmasked url, (visited from iWeb) I could see the site and it worked until today. My site forwarding service said everything on their end is ok. They get the same error messages using Firefox as well. I re-published the entire site and now neither site will load and I get a blank page @ www.arnaldoburgosstudios.com and I can't "visit" either site from iWeb at all. My car blog, which was totally unaffected before today, no longer works either and both sites display one of these error messages:
Not Found
or
Safari can't open page: Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://www.acarguy.net/arnaldoburgosstudios/Home.html”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.
Can someone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

UPDATE: After reading 10 pages of help I tried two things:
System Preferences > MobileMe > log out > entered "garbage name + password" (to reset the preferences) > logged in correctly
System Preferences > MobileMe > Back to My Mac > turned it OFF.
Suddenly both sites loaded correctly and I can see them on my computer. However, the sites still don't display at all on 10.5.x Macs (G5 tower here, friends iMac in another state) but do display and act correctly on our old G4 running 10.4.x

Can anyone explain why all of my Spry Assets on a live website have suddenly stopped working?

Can anyone explain why all of my Spry Assets on a live website have stopped responding? I have checked that the Spry CSS and JS files are in place. Then checked the files on Dreamweavers live view and they are not working there either. It was fine a few weeks ago, it is almost as if the web browsers have stopped rending Spry, for example, the links for the collapsible panels are not even being recognised as links.
I am using 'old' spry assets on Dreamweaver CS4 (if that makes a difference). The Spry Assets used are Tabbed Panels and Collapsible Panels.
Thanks for your help.

Something has been going on, when I look at the bottom of your document (as pasted below), this is normally all at the top after the links to external style sheets.

Some navigation bar links have suddenly stopped working

I have been producing a site in iWeb '09 for some time, with no problems. It is hosted by MobileMe.
I use a custom-built navigation bar that is saved as a test page and duplicated as and when I need a new page. There have been no problems at all until suddenly the links on the navigation bar on one page (Blogs) ceased to work. At this point nothing had been modified at all. All the other links on the page work perfectly.
Naturally I checked to see if a) here was something masking the links or b) if, for some reason, the link-enabled text boxes had been moved Backwards. They hadn't. The links on my test page are still working, as are all the other navigation bar links on the site.
As I was planning to stop the use of comments on the Blogs page, I created a new page, using the White Blogs template, but without the ability to comment. I recreated the content and used the same working navigation bar as before, copied and pasted into place. All the navigation bar links work perfectly in iWeb '09 but once again, fail to work when published. The other links on the new page work perfectly.
Main site is: http://www.midsomernortonplatoonacf.org.uk.
Click on the Blogs link to see what I mean. Now try the following URL: http://www.midsomernortonplatoonacf.org.uk/MidsomerNortonPlatoon/TESTPAGE.html that will take you to the hidden test page. Click on the Reports link, that works perfectly, to go to my newly created, comment-less, "Blog" page - same problem!
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Dirtyrobot,
Ah ha! A cunning plan, but I'm sorry to say that, whilst it's a great idea, I'm one step ahead of you. I've done the usual Cmd+A to reveal everything, but there is nothing extra. I've brought all the text boxes with the links to the front as you suggested, but again nothing.
The only thing that I did notice, whilst moving the entire contents of the page up and down, was that there was a hidden line near the top of the page - not an actual physical line that could be selected, but a sort of 'edge of code area' that was sometimes visible, BUT only when moving a block up or down over it. Neither changing Footers and Headers nor the Padding makes any difference. There is obviously something in the page code that I can't access using any of the tools in the page layout or format boxes in the Inspector. The fact that it HAS worked before, with absolutely NO changes to the page, is what has got me hacked off! The identical Nav Bar works on every other page, being merely copied and pasted from my master test page each time.
Curious...

Internal Microphone suddenly stopped working, help please.

That is my problem. I have updated my driver, restored my computer to a time where my mic worked. It was working earlier today, then when I restarted my laptop, I had the legendary Toshiba startup issue. Once I got that figured out and got back onto my computer, I got bluescreened. Eventually I fixed my computer, with this last remaining issue. I've never had issues with my internal microphone.
It's not muted, it's enabled. How can I plug it in when it's an internal microphone? I'm very frustrated. Someone help me. I've been searching for a way to fix it for two hours and I haven't come up with a single solution that's solved the problem.
