  • My 15inch Powerbook G4 will only work on charge

    Hey, my mate gave me his Powerbook G4 as he bought a new mac,
    It works, but only when its plugged into the AC, and i dont have a charger lol (it caught fire at his house :S)
    The battery shows that it has 3 L.E.Ds that light up... But it wont start...
    I have opened it up and removed the motherboard to see if any connections had come unplugged, but nothing looks disconnected.
    If anyone (in Whangaparaoa, Auckland, New Zealand) has a spare charger or battery to see whats the problem that would be much appreciated
    Many Thanks, Caleb

    Hello,
    Have you tried resetting the PMU on this PowerBook?  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
    The other thing it could be is the is the DC inboard needs to be replaced. I've known faulty DC inboards that will not charge or run from the battery.

  • My 2 month old nano only works while charging, i've tried resetting it and still the same.

    You are still under warranty.  Either call iPod tech support - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) or take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • Battery icon just says "not charging" full charge takes 9 hours :(

    Regardless if I select time or %, next to the battery icon just says "not charging". It does not read out how much time or % of battery life I have left. Also the battery went to zero and when I plugged it in, it says a full charge would be almost 9 hours....is this normal. The cyce count is 125 and condition is normal......thoughts? thanks

    I had a similar problem with my black macbook... I took it to the Genius bar and they determined that it was a faulty charger. The light on my charger would flicker orange/green/orange/green. sometimes no light at all. They replaced it. But since my battery had been recharged over 300 times, they replaced the battery as well. Since then---no problems with charging.

    Absolutely.  Search this forum or look in the "More Like This" box to your right.

  • I have a ipod mini from 2005, it will only work on my charger.  I did get a new ipod 4touch, how do i get the music to the new one if i don't know the password of the mini.  My ex-husband set it up for me, i not aboout to call and ask for the password.

    I have a ipod mini from 2005,  it will only work on my charger.  I did get a new i pod touch 4, how do i get the music from the old mini to the new touch.  I have never put any music on it myself, my ex-husband did it all and has the password.  I never new it.  I'm sure not about to call him and I don't think he'd give it to me anyway.  Please help!!!

    I don't think the password will matter, because you can't use anything on the iPod or in iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    The simple software "lock" used on iPods should not prevent you from off-loading the song files.  Once the song files are on your computer, you can add them to your iTunes library.  Then, you can do a Restore on the iPod to give it a fresh start and sync it (and the iPod touch) as desired.
    NOTE:  For songs purchased by you from the iTunes Store, you can also re-download them to your computer at no cost, from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.  The link to Purchased is on the iTunes Store Home screen, under QUICK LINKS.

  • My ipod wont play music solely through the ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and quietly through earphones. Is this fixable??

    My ipod wont play music solely through ear phones it will only play through the main speaker and the earphones together. Is this able to be fixed??

    I am also experiencing some problems with the new software version, I bought the Belkin TuneBase for my car 25 days ago it had been working fine since I upgraded my Ipod 2 days ago, you know that sometimes if you don't get good reception you can change to a diferent preseted station on this Belkin Transmitter but since this Ipod upgrade I can't change to a diferent station and also i can't disconect it like before because before it said you were ok to disconect and I'm afraid to return because perhaps afterall is a software problem.

  • The spinning colored wheel wont  stop and my word is open so i do not want to lose my paper

    The spinning colored wheel wont  stop and my word is open so i do not want to lose my paper. What do I do wihtout having to cut my computer off

    Sbmills,
    will it allow you to copy the text of your paper, paste it into TextEdit, and save it as a text document? You’d lose the formatting, but you’d still have the text.

  • When I click on the iCloud icon it says that it will download without additional charge because I've already purschased it but after that it goes back to the icloud icon and doesnt download. How can I download it?

    Im having trouble downloading the iMovie app on my iPad. When I click on the iCloud icon it says that it will download without additional charge because I've already purchased it(I did purchase it) but after that it goes back to the icloud icon and doesnt download. How can I download it?

    Hello bianca,
    It sounds like you are trying to download a previous purchase to your iPad but the item never downloads. I would recommend starting by closing all the apps that are running in the background.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone and try again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

    i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

    I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased  any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered  them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me  the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

    I need to change the home folder name. I just bought this mac today and my cousin put his name in because he had to back up his phone while we were still at the store so he could get a new phone and now my brand new imac says his name in the home folder. This is very frustrating. I would not have let him put his name in there if I didn't think you could change it. Someone please help!

  • I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

    If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
    Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
    If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
    I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

  • I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

    I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not there is not enough space for both files files? Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

    Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
    If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups.  See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
    If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions.  That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups.  Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.
