Hi, hotfire -
We will need some more information in order to help you.
First, what is the exact model Mac that you have? If you don't know, what is the generic model (iMac, G4, PowerBook, etc.), and what is the processor speed and how many processors does it have?
What specific OS version is on the machine? (your message specs state OSX, but this is the OS 9 section)
What bootable OS Install CDs do you have?

HT1338 i have a new mac air . the usb wont work and i cant charge my i phone with it

please help me out . i have a new mac air . when i conect my cable to usb socket wont work . it wont charge my i phone either . whats wrong

I'm sure you've done everything like rebooting or testing other usb devices...have you tried to create a new user account and see if you get anything that way?, I would imagine you'd have to return the machine for an exchange at the Apple store.

Migration to new mac and now compressor wont work

after a migration - new 6 core - my final cut studio (2) - doesn't all work. final cut works, but compressor tells me to restart or verify that my instillation is correct. DVD studio doesn't work either....
help!!!
thanks
MR C

David is spot on. Follow his advice.
You need to understand that if you were running a G5 - a PowerPC chip computer - and migrate to an Intel chipped computer, the binary code to run the program on the new computer will not be present. Your G5's FCS installation doesn't have any intel code on it. FCS requires intel specific code on intel machines.
Also, you will need FCP v5.1 or higher to run on the intel machine. v5.0 or lower is not supported.
Heck, even migrating pro apps between machines on the same processor can be problematic due to the specificity of the chips and how FCS stashes system files. Sometimes they are not copied over or the frameworks are the wrong one for the processor or version of OSX.
Best practice is to always do a fresh installation from the disks (or disk images) then use software updater to bring it up to the current update.

I need the option key to start my mac but It wont work! help!?

About a year ago I downloaded some program to make windows work on my mac. Recently I uninstalled it because I no longer needed it. The only thing was everytime I restarted my mac it brought me to a black screen and told me to insert a bootable disc. I looked up the problem and people told me that if I hold the option key when my mac make the chime sound I could select my hard drive. Well this worked fine for a while. But then suddenly my z key stopped working so I restarted my mac. And it turns out my option key wont work as well. So I can't boot up my mac. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I tryed using my pc keyboard but it didn't work...

Try holding the X key instead of the Option key. If that works, once you're in Mac OS X, goto System Preferences/Startup Disk and select your hard drive then hit restart. That should solve your startup problems. You'll still need to resolve your Z and Option key problem but at least the startup should work.

Help, new to Mac.. iMac boot but keyboard doesn't work...

Not sure what happened but the mac would now boot to ask for password. The keyboard does not respond. Act as if it not paired. I boot with the OS cd and the keyboard works fine. So I not it's not a hardware issue.
One more note, I put a usb keyboard, and when I type the user name, it appears the keyboard has been remapped.
Anyone seen this?
thx
Jerry

A bump up! Maybe someone will see it!
Also, try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Cheers! DALE

Help my Mac mini wont work with the airpot

I have got the Mac mini Intel Core Solo G5 model and ive got a ibook G4 my G4 works great and fine but my mac mini does not. I connect to the base station fine useing the drop down bit on the taskbar in finder and enter the password and it connects. But when i do network assistant and it asks for me to eneter the password again it just basicly frezzes for a min then says invalid password when i know that it is the write base station password. It did work once but froze again and said could not connect. and when i go into the airport utlity it can't descover the base station even though it says it is connected with a full signal, im doing the excatly same things i did with my ibook but it just wont work. Please can someone help me and tell me what i have to do or give me some support this is my last hope as apple aren't intrested. I will be very gratful!

The software update was for Intel based Mac computers and does not specify Core Duo or Core 2 Duo:
AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001
This update is recommended for all Intel-based Macintosh computers and provides compatibility with AirPort Extreme base stations and networks.
This is the update that generated a fix at www.macfixit.com because some folks have been having issues with connection with their internet provider and some people have had issue with their airport systems just shutting down.
It was part of an auto update that was received. One of my Macs is a MacBook Pro Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) and this upgrade (download) was part of the update check that is automatically performed.

I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in.

Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

Mac mini screen wont work after lion

My hdmi connection to my tv wont work after installing lion last night. It worked once last night but hasnt worked since. All cables are in tact and computer is set up the same. I cant even see anything to fix it!

I called apple - I'd have been in trouble if my mac had been my only internet access!
I had to reset the P-RAM
as so:
mac is powered off
turn on power then instantly press keys: command option P R
the mac will chime as usual then on the second chime let go of the keys.
After this my screen worked again.
For info - command key is cmd, option key is alt
I did this with an old mac wired keyboard - not sure if it will work on bluetooth keyboard, but it might.

Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
(I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
used to use AIM for this in windows
The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
iChat works well.
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
flicker, but I could see it.
No idea.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
after 30 mins
You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
against them, but I am expecting this computer to
last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
as fast as Windows pc's.
It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
Thank you for any help,

Skype wont work with my mac os 10.5.8

afternoon, tried to download skype on my power book g4 and it after download I try to open the dm and it says wont work with this artitecture.
I am running 10.5.8 after I have download the dm the window that I should put it into the applications had like a do not enter symbol.
Thank you for your help

Your Mac is too old to run it.
http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-mac/
Click the system requirements on that page & you will see…
1GHz Intel processor.
Mac OS X 10.5.8+.
100 MB free disk space.
Either USB or regular headset if your Mac does not have a built-in microphone.
Download drivers if you are using an external webcam.
For voice calls recommend broadband connection with 100 kbps down / 100 kbps up.
For group video calling everyone on the call needs Skype 5.0 for Windows or Mac or higher plus webcams. For best quality we recommend you use a high-speed broadband connection of 4Mbps down/512kbps up and a computer with a Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz processor. As a minimum you’ll need a high-speed broad connection of 512kbps down/128kbps up and a computer with a 1 GHz processor.
Your Mac has a Power PC processor not an Intel CPU.

Does anyone know the YAHOO authentication method and port? I recently installed the new OSX 10.8.2 software and my mac mail wont work.

Hello,
I have no idea what you're talking about, however my Mail stopped working when I
had to add a new e-mail address for my Hotmail account.
My new Hotmail address works, and seems to get e-mail from the old e-mail address,
which from I've read behaves as a "default" address for the old address.
Apple Mail is linked to my Hotmail account of the old e-mail address.
I no longer know my old password.
Apple Mail will not accept my new password for ny new Hotmail account.
Can someone help me solve this problem WITOUT COMPLICATED SOLUTION!
As I said I have no idea what a port, or SSL or authentication is!
If you do answer,please answer in vert simple steps that are easy to follow, and donlt make matters worse.
Thanks,
SB

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
