Mouse goes dead when printer powered up

I have a Beige, but recently was given an early G3 iMac, 233mhz processor, 288mb ram.
I successfully installed OS 9.2.2 (starting with an OS 9.1 iMac disk..........the iMac had 8.6 on it) and updated the firmware; removed the hard drive, hooked it up to my Beige and copied some applications onto it.
Everything works fine, except:
When my Brother printer (USB) is turned on, whether plugged directly into an original USB port or through a powered hub, the mouse icon still shows and moves, but clicking it does nothing.
This does not happen with the Beige. The printer works just fine plugged into the USB card or hub.
I have tried 2 mice and two keyboards; I have removed all the Brother software and extensions from the hard drive and reinstalled from the Brother CD. I have gone to Brother's website and looked for updates....nothing.
Any ideas?

Hi James.
Sounds like a hardware problem that could be unique to iMacs. It's probably best to drop in the CRT iMac forums and introduce yourself. Chances of finding a fellow traveller with a similar experience is greater there.

Problems installing OS I have an iMac 21.5 (Mid-2010) and in trying to load a new hard drive, after choosing the installation disk the apple logo comes up and then stops and the keyboard and mouse goes dead. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Problems installing OS
I have an iMac 21.5 (mid-2010) and I'm trying to install a new hard drive. When I choose the installation disk the Apple logo comes up and it stops there. Then the mouse and keyboard goes dead. I'm trying to install 10.6. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Since you have a new hard drive, there is nothing on it, so you need to boot from an external source (and probably format the hard drive before installing an OS). Are you booting from the 10.6 install disk? Better yet - do you have a bootable backup clone or at least a Time Machine backup?

Phone goes dead when it has just been charged

my husbands phone goes dead just shuts off when he has just charged it. says like 95 percent battery and 2 seconds later goes dead

User troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
Restart, is powering the phone off/on.
Reset is holding the sleep/wake and home buttons until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
Restores are done via iTunes.
If none of these correct the problem, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple or with the Authorized Apple Service Provider, depending on where you live.

My 15"MBPr goes dead when I plug in a TV over HDMI

I have a 2014 15"MBPr. It is the version with the 750M. All firmware and software is up to date, all the cabling has been verified to be working.
I use this laptop at a desk my lot. Until recently, my setup was a 24inch AOC display connected through an apple mini display to HDMI adapter. I leave the laptop screen open and run both. This has worked fine since I've had the computer. I have lots of other peripherals plugged in too these are as follows.
Thunderbolt to Ethernet (meaning both thunderbolt ports are occupied. Wifi is not an option)
USB3 Hub, which has my keyboard (A DAS Model S), my mouse (a Logitech Performance MX), my 3TB western Digital drive, and my focusrite scarlet USB audio.
Recently, I bought a TV. It is a 42 inch Vizio, model number M422i-b1. I went and bought an HDMI cable so that I could use it as a display if I wanted to. I plugged the HDMI in to the TV on one end, and then in to the HDMI port on my mac on the other end. It worked fine, I set up the displays so they weren't all mirrored, and so they were arranged in the right way.
I used the setup like this for an hour or two, then disconnected the laptop to take somewhere.
I came back a couple hours later, and reconnected the computer in the same manner that I described above:
Ethernet to one thunderbolt port
Display out to my AOC monitor on the other
USB out to all the other things
Power in via magsafe
After connecting it all up I tried to wake the computer, and nothing happened. The backlit keyboard came up, but all three screens stayed black. It seemed like the two external displays were getting a signal, but the signal was a black screen. Both external displays (The AOC and the Vizio TV) usually will say "No Signal" If they are not getting anything, but they were not saying "No Signal"
- I tried a restart of the computer, nothing. All screens stayed black but I did hear a startup chime as usual. The grey screen and apple logo came up, but after that was finished loading all screens went black.
- I tried connecting the displays after the laptop was up and running, I did the monitor first via thunderbolt and it worked fine, so I eliminated that as not being the problem. When I plugged the TV in via HDMI though, all the screens immediately went black.
- After force restarting the computer again, I tried plugging the HDMI in to a different HDMI plug on the TV. The same problem persists with all four HDMI plugs. Then I tried leaving the cable on on the TV and pluggign the HDMI in to the computer when there wasnt anywhere for the computer to output to. Even without the HDMI port I want to use on the TV selected as the one I want ot use, the computer immedeatly goes black when I plug in HDMI.
- Every time I force restart the computer, upon logging in (without the TV connected, computer will not even boot with TV connected) I recieve a message that says "Your computer shut down because of a problem, do you wish to continue?"
- I have tested all the inputs on the tv with other devices (A windows PC and a PS3) and they all work fine. In adition the HDMI cable I am using is good.
What should I do from here to fix the problem?

BB8700 goes dead when dialing or receving a phone call

My BB8700 dies completely (does not turn itself off; just clicks and goes blank; it is like it can't maintain connection with the tower while receiving or making a phone call) (and must re set itself) when receiving a phone call or while dialing a call, but only sometimes does anyone else had this intermittent problem and how did you solve it?
it appears that it happens less whn the unit is being charged -- could the battery be somehow defective --everything else works AND the restrict my identity is off.

If device battery goes to dead state too fast - consider the battery replacement.
If device battery works ok - try to do the following:
when device is on - remove the battery, wait a minute and turn it back to the device.
Also make sure that the device internal memory is not full.
It can be checked via Options - Status.

3g ipod goes dead when not in dock

everything works fine when it's plugged into the dock. charging, menus, no problems. when i disconnect it from the mac it goes totally dead. nothing works. is this a battery issue? should i have it replaced?

Just solved my mini low battery issue. My iPod mini was also not holding charge for long and I'd plug it in and it would charge to when it said full, but clearly wasn't playing as if it had a full charge.
So, I plugged it in and if you click disconnect and leave it plugged in to the computer, the charging bar will appear. Perform a reset, which will not delete anything, by
holding down the Menu and Select(middle)buttons. When the the apple icon appears it should start charging more.
It turned out mine was not fully charge and seems to be resuming it's normal charge cycle. So, give it a try and let me know if that works for you too. Good luck. Btw, mine is a 4GB, 1 yr old 2nd generation mini.

I worked for HP but now I'm retired!

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?

I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini. Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead." The mouse still works but I can't type. If I restart, everything is fine again. Is there anything that will fix this problem?
Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor. The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz. If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer. Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue. Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log. I don't know if they're related. How 'bout you?
If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

How to print to my wireless all in one photosmart prem c410 when printer is not powered on?

how to print to my wireless all in one photosmart prem c410 when printer is not powered on?

Hi,
You cant print to a printer that you physicly turned off. Most network printer have a sleep mode, so leave it on and after a while it should go into a sleepmode. And should wake up when a printjob is being sent.
