My G5 (non intel) starts up but does not go past the grey apple screen

My G5 (the non intel kids machine) starts up but does not go past the grey apple screen. It chimes, the grey apple screen comes up 20 seconds later with the rotating thing-ie, then the fan kicks on 1 minute 35 seconds later. It stays on that screen indefinitely.
I tried restarting without any cables connected to it with the same outcome. I tried to insert the OS X disc and pressing the "C" key and cannot get past the password page. I also tried to start it pressing the OptionCommand+PR keys with no results.

I am experiencing this problem as well. I had assumed it was a result of attempting to uninstall the Boot Camp drivers because I was getting a blue screen error every time I tried to startup with Windows. But I had also installed some updates for OS X at the same time so it could have been caused by that as well. I've erased everything now and I am trying to reinstall OS X but I'm three attempts in now because the installation has just been getting stuck in an indefinite loop at random points during the installation.

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

My MacBook Pro pwers up but does not get past the the Apple logo.

I have a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. It powers up but does not get past the Apple logo. The hardware test did not reveal any problems. It will also not get any further when I try to start up in Safe Mode. The last thing I was trying to do was connect to it from my desktop which I have done before. Any ideas.

I was able to get into the Repair utility and resolved some Permissions problems. It verified the disk and found no problems. However, it did not resolve the issue. I was also not able to get into Safe Mode.

I have an Ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo

I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo. What do I need to do?

This problem happened to me a month ago. The way I used to fix it:
1. Go it DFU Mode. For going into that, check this page.
2. Connect your iPod to your PC which has iTunes and iTunes will detect your iPod in recovery mode.
3. Press Shift + Restore if you have the .ipsw firmware file downloaded on your windows PC or just click Restore and follow the instructions to download the firmware file.
4. Wait and finally you're done!

I am unable to delete any of the installed apps on my iPad2. If I press on the icon i wish to delete, it merely starts shaking but does not show me the X sign for the delete.

I am unable to delete any of the installed apps on my iPAD2. If I press on the icon , it merely starts shaking but no longer displays the X sign in order for me to delete it.
I also notice that I am unable to display the HIDE tab if I swipe on any of my purchased apps.
I think this may be happening after I upgraded to iOS 6
Any help much appreciated, thanks

G5, updated software and now it won't start up past the grey apple screen

Hello,
I'm in dyer need of help. I just purchased an old G5 from a friend and when I connected it the internet it said there were a few (7 or 8) updates available for the system. There was very minimal memory left on the system but I proceeded with the updates, it said the system was going to restart after the updates. The grey screen appeared with the apple logo and the circular loading graphic but right after that the screen went blank and now each time I try to start the computer up it does the same and shuts down after that screen displays.
Is there anything I can do?

I'm not able to do that without the proper install disc, am I correct?
Correct.
Is it possible for me to use that or am I in the same boat without the proper install disc?
Correct, you need an Install Disc.
Or will it try to install on my iMac?
Disconnect them to be sure.
Sooo, what is this Install Disc you're talking about? The iMac's Gray Disc? That won't work for the G5.
There's still a chance of repairing the HD, Your best bet is DiskWarrior.

Hi!
It seems that something went wrong with your db (instance crash with database file corruption or corruption in the control file. If you just installed the database you could save yourself a lot of trouble by just running the dbca and create a new database.

If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

I have a Macbook and I left it unplugged. It started up slowly when I plugged it in again, but it seemed fine. Once it started charging I shut it down so it would be easier, but now it will not go past the grey screen with the apple. What do I do?

I have Snow leopard on my computer, and I tried to do a hard restart as an article suggested, but it did not work. I also tried cleaning out the PRAM.
The only things I did last night:
-cleaned the history of Firefox out, including cookies
-let it unplugged all night
-plugged it back in the morning, it took a long time to figure itself out, but eventually the time was correct and I got on the internet for a bit
-shutdown the computer since I was going out and thought it would help the computer charge
-came back, tried to turn it on, and found that it would not go past the grey screen the apple on it and the spinning wheel even though I left it for 20 minutes or more
-tried turning it off and on to no avail

Before doing a reinstall, which may not be needed at this point,
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 Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

Upgraded to osx lion via bootable USB stick but start up now just hangs on the grey apple screen

Hi. I've just recently upgraded from snow leopard to osx lion 10.7.3 on my laptop and it works perfectly! However I then tried installing on desktop and problems......
1. I got the 'the error can't install message' so after researching' I made a bootable USB stick with lion on it.
2. Installed on start up from bootable USB stick, no problems their.
3. Restarted and it just hangs in the grey apple screen.
I've reset the PRAM, started in safe mode, fixed disk permission etc, Even done this (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20070204093925888).
I'm going to leave the grey screen over night to see if it does start up, but then we have the problem of an extremely slow start up.
So.... I am posting this to find out if anyone else has this problem and fixed it without having to do a full clean install as some data like email lists etc I never backed up (I know stupid).
Hope someone can help as i am lost on what else to try.
HELP!?!?!?
Dan.

Update 01.03.12
Computer is starting now but.... It takes 10 minutes and that is without my sound card, hardware and external hard drives plugged in, gonna test that now.
Are their and fixes for slow start ups?

Field ZZBUDAT is delta-relevant, but does not exist in the field list

Hi All,
I have created a Generic DataSource on a View.Now there is a situation ,i need to add a Date field form some other table.
So i have enhanced the datasource now that date is coming in my datasource.
But when i tried to make delta on that date field its showing error-
Field ZZBUDAT is delta-relevant, but does not exist in the field list
Message no. R8279
Diagnosis
The DataSource uses field ZZBUDAT for specifying the delta. In the DataSource field list, however, the field does not occur
Now how i can make this field dalta relevant?
Thanks,
Piyush

Piyush,
I think the message in SAP is quite clear....
If the field ZZBUDAT does not exist in the view ... how do you expect the datasource to know which records have changed...?
The delta relevant field SHOULD be in the view - else there is no way the extractor can identify the changed records ...
Please remember that the Generic extractor is a simple select statement with a where clause on the delta relevant field and nothing else ... if you want the changed on field to come from another table - then you need to write a function module extractor to do this...
The order of processing is that - the view fields are processed first - then the enhanced fields are processed followed by the user exits...
