    A flashing disk icon means the bootloader that starts up your Mac can't find a suitable startup disk. Something happened to the internal HDD to cause this, the damage may be repairable or not.
    Ive tried inserting the installation disk and reinstalling it but the destination window is empty [i dont see my disk]...please help with a fix...
    It can't see the disk for the same reason that the bootloader couldn't. Let's try to see if it is fixable before reinstalling everything and losing all your settings. Since you already are able to start up from the Install CD/DVD, go to the Utilities menu and select *Disk Utility*. There, check and see if the HDD device appears on the left column. Under and indented you should see the volume by name.
    If the device does not appear, then it is really hosed and you will need a new one.
    If it appears, with or without the volume, it means it is damaged but may be repairable. Click on the device and do a *Repair Disk*. If it says there are errors, repeat *Repair Disk* until it comes out clean with no more errors. After that, reboot and see if the Mac will start up correctly. When it does, run Disk Utility again (it is found inside the startup volume's Utilities folder) and do a *Repair Disk Permissions*. If all is well, you'll be a happy camper and your Mac will live to see another day.
    If you can't get the *Repair Disk* procedure to come out without errors, it means that the damage is more severe and Disk Utility can't repair it. You can either get heavier duty tools, like TechTool Pro or Disk Warrior, or you can choose to format the HDD and reinstall afresh. Note that you will lose everything. If you decide to format and the formatting has errors, it also means the drive is permanently damaged and will need to be replaced.
    Let us know how it turned out and welcome to Apple Discussions.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My iPod shows emails but the screen seems frozen

    My iPod will not allow me to open emails or delete them. The screen seems frozen and touching it to open an email, edit etc., does nothing at all. I use my iPad to access emails and this activity is picked up on the iPod, but If I tap on an email to open it, nothing happens at all. Mail works okay as do other functions. Any suggestions greatly received.
    Thank you

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Mail and turn off and then back on the accounts
    - 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • Aperture 3.3 library upgrade seems frozen

    I updated to Aperture 3.3 last week and the updating of the library has seemingly frozen at 91% of step 7/7. I left it alone for about 3 days now without change. I forced quit and restarted a couple times before just letting it go. It seems to be doing something as it's using 90% of CPU. I'm guessing it is stuck on video? If so is there anyway to get in there to remove the video now that the upgrade has started?

    You may have a corruption of the library that needs repairing, before you upgrade the library.
    For many people it helped to "Force Quit" and to rebuild the library before trying to upgrade again.
    To rebuild the database, hold down the  ⌥⌘-key combination, while double clicking your Aperture library. Then select "Rebuild database" from the "First Aid" panel.
    If really a corrupted video should be causing the trouble, launch Aperture with the "Shift" key held down. This will defer the generation of previews, and probaly enable you to open the library in Aperture. Then delete the video from the library.

  • Disk Utility wont startup

    I'm trying to start Disk Utility (under mac os 10.4.8, intel) but it wont startup. It bounces one time in the dock and then dissapers.
    I tried a copy of an other computer, but the same problem. I Repaired Permissions in the terminal. I've reset my P ram.
    This didn't work at all. Anyone an idea?

    Wow, that's not good.
    The first four bytes of a "Universal" Mach-O loadable object and/or executable should be (in hexadecimal representation, which is what the "0x" prefix signifies):
    <pre>0xCAFEBABE</pre>
    but instead, it's saying that the first four bytes are:
    <pre>0xCC8B45D0</pre>
    In other words, the internal data of the file has been altered or is otherwise incorrect so that it's unusable.
    Before doing anything else, I would, if you haven't already done so, startup from your Install DVD/CD and use Disk Utility to make sure your disk directory checks out okay. Use the Verify/Repair Disk buttons to do this. How to repair this problem short of an Archive and Install is a bit tricky.
    What exactly did you try copying from another Mac? That could work, but you need to make sure that you only copy it from a Mac of the same architecture: Intel-Mac to an Intel-Mac and PowerPC to a PowerPC Mac. Note that the Disk Utility application itself is most likely fine, there's no need to copy that. What you want to copy is the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskImages.framework/. Copy that "DiskImages.framework" folder from another Intel-based Mac and put it into the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ folder on your (damaged) Mac. Replace the existing copy. (You'll need to click the "Authenticate" button to enter your password in order to accomplish this). Then try launching Disk Utility to see if it will launch successfully.
    Hope this helps....

    http service in the win nt services wont startup either manually or automatic
    please help.

    My suggestion is to navigate to the Apache home and startup Apache manually. The console window will let you know if there is something wrong with the configuration files.

  • My macbook wont startup

    my macbook wont startup, i have tried using the PRAM reset and I hear the second start up chime and then it says start up disk is full and the screen stays blue. What can I do?

    Prior to this, were you getting messages indicating that your start up disk was "almost" full... suggesting you you clear up some space?  Was your machine running very slow or possibly frequently crashing?

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

    That means that the iPad went into recovery mode, Something went wrong when you tried to update the device. Plug the iPad into your computer, launch iTunes if it doesn't start up on its own and follow the instructions here.

  • G5 Wont Startup

    Hey Guys!
    So I have a G5 tower that wont startup. Heres whats going on:
    -When I try to start it up normally it gets to the spinning grey wheel then turns off.
    -Resetting the PRAM does nothing. I might need a new PRAM battery but I'm not sure if that explains the symptoms. I ordered a new one though, should be here soon.
    -When I try to boot off a Tech Tool Pro DVD I get a kernel panic screen, that says You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button blah blah blah... The text on the screen ends with BSD process name corresponding to current thread:kernel_task
    -Tried to boot off the Tech Tool DVD with the HD unplugged, same error.
    -When I try to start up in safe mode it stays on the spinning grey wheel for a couple of minutes, then turns off.
    -In single user mode ran fsck -y and it returns:
    disk0s3: I/O error.
    Invalid node structure
    (4,275)
    **Volume check failed
    /dev/rdisk0s3 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
    and then says
    'PowerManagement emergency overtemp signal. Going to sleep!'
    Over and over.
    -I reset the nvram in open firmware earlier, which did nothing, but now when I try to start up in open firmware the screen just stays black and nothing happens.
    -Earlier, booting in verbose mode would return some errors, then shut down immediately, but now its just goes to a black screen as well.
    -Resetting the PMU didn't do anything.
    -Switched the RAM around, so I'm pretty sure its not a problem with the RAM, or the RAM slots.
    Any ideas on what's going on or what I should do next? Or should I just wait for the new PRAM battery? Thanks for helping!

    Any areas I should concentrate on?
    CPU heatsinks, Video card, RAM, Fans, Power supply.
    about a foot away from my 10' sub. Could that have caused the damage?
    I wouldn't think so, at least yet.
    So how would I go about fixing the HD? TDM maybe?
    Yes, but I think we have to take care of the heat issue first.
