My iBook has a little problem

Hi,
first of all I've to excue my terrible English, it's a long time ago I learned it at school.
So, my little iBook G4 has a big problem. It got a new battery because of the Sony-battery-change in August.
Since then it can't charge when I shut it.
It still wants to boot and the battery doesn't charge...
What can I do? Is it because of the new battery or another problem?
Thanks,
Laurana1981

Have you tried resetting the PMU?

IBook G4 Westell 327W problems...

My wife's iBook has caused a unique problem....
We upgraded to Bellsouth DSL 6.0, and with that got a Westell 327W modem/router.
The modem plays nice with my netgear wgps606, our dell laptop, anything connected to an ethernet port, but....
If the iBook is on and connected via airport, after about 10min (like clockwork), the modem will reset as if it was powered off, and turned back on. At first we thought it was the modem (this is modem #3)... all the modems did the same thing... We definitely know that the iBook is causing/related to this problem. My wife was out of town, and no problems whatsoever... when she came back, the problem resurfaced. Westell has the latest firmware, iBook is running 10.4.9
Does anyone have ANY ideas how the iBook could be causing this??
We never had a problem before w/any wireless router (previously had a Netgear 814 wireless) and the iBook
HELP!!!!
Thanks
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks for the advice, Rhonda:
I tried the suggestions you made, but unfortunately I was not able to read the results of the S.M.A.R.T. status check. One of the symptoms of my problem is that no words are visible in any of the OS functions, so while I was able to open the window, and I could see and click on the HD icon, I could not read anything in the box to the right. This is similar to what happens when I go to a pulldown menu, or when I try to login.
In addition, some things seem to work sporadically. For example, one time the computer wasn't recognizing my speakers, but the next time I turned on the computer, it did. Sometimes the dock is visible, and other times not. I am afraid something ominous is happening.
And, yes, I did double check the available space, and it is about 23.47 GB. Thanks for the reminder , though.
If anybody has any more suggestions, I am all ears. Thanks!

You could try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). Please check again on the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? (Make sure it's not MB instead of GB — don't laugh, it's happened.) Repair permissions on it.
See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.

Adobe digital editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close?

When attempting to launch Adobe Digital Editions I get "adobe digital editions 2.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
Windows XP
This product has been working until today
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling

I don't know why it has stopped ~ maybe an incompatible Windows update.
Unless you really need the (few) extra features of 2.0, you'll be much better off on 1.7.2.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Itunes wont open, says Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.

When I click on my Itunes icon a big box pops up and says Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. And says tell microsoft about the problem, you know. And I've been trying to access the program for three days and it's doing the same thing, I got a trojan horse right before it started doing it, but I've gotten rid of it and scanned many times, it's gone. I also uninstalled and reinstalled both Itunes and quicktime but it still doesen't work, I really need ideas here..lol.

Please help me someone. I bought this Ipod 2 weeks ago for my daughters 18th and all we get is this stupid error message all the time. "Itunes have to close - error report etc etc." Have re-installed some many times I have lost count. Know very little about computers so need really simple instructions. I am really not impressed with this if any Apple technicans are reading this and want my money back!!!!

I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

Import Process Server has encountered a problem and needs to close

Hello,
Loaded an AVI-from the desktop, as that is where my project file and scratch disk go, about 7.5 GB's, and when I scroll through it or try to render, I get this little message:Import Process Server has encountered a problem and needs to close
Windows XP Pro/ 64 Edition
Dell Precision T7500
Intell(R)Xeon(R) CPU
E5520 @ 2.27 GHz
2.26 GHz, 12.0 GB of RAM
Thanks so much in advance,
Tim S.

Jim,
Thanks for all your help. Sure enough, an MOV file works just fine and I may have tracked down the problem: the video, I'm sure caused from the source tape, lags towards the end-it seemed like every time I scrolled towards the end of the AVI it would crash. Still seems mighty peculiar that it would crash the system each time.
Thanks,
Tim S.

I'm not trying to minimize your issues, but I have an iPhone 5S and find that I have not had these types of problems on AT&T. I'm wonding if something has gotten stuck in a loop that is continually trying to use data. If you make a good backup of your phone, try restoring it as new, and do not add anything to the phone right away. Let the device run like this for a little while and see what kind of usage you have. You report you phone is showing usage of 21GB. Did you rese this setting on the phone to begin at your billing period? The reason I ask this is some people believe this setting resets on its own with your billing period, it does not. This has to be manually reset by the user, so it might not be that accurate depending on the last time that you reset it.
If the phone seems to not use so much extra data during the period the device does not have extra apps on it, then try restoring from your backup and see what happens. If this increases your data usage quite fast again, then there is probably something corrupt in the backup that is causing this issue.

Little problem with Strings.

          I have an little problem with Strings, i make one comparision like this.
          String nombre="Javier";
          if( nombre.equalsIgnoreCase(output.getStringValue("CN_NOMBRESf",null)) )
          Wich output.getStringValue("CN_NOMBRESf",null) is "Javier" too, because I display
          this before and are equals.
          What I do wrong?.


You are actually making your users key in things like
"\026"? Not very user-friendly, I would say. But
assuming that is the best way for you to get your
input, or if it's just you doing the input, the way to
change that 4-character string into the single
character that Java represents by '\026', you would
use a bit of code like this:char encoded =
(char)Integer.parseInt(substring(inputString, 1),
16);
DrClap has the right idea, except '\026' is octal, not hex. So change the radix from 16 to 8. Unicode is usually represented like '\u002A'. So it looks like you want:String s = "\\077";
System.out.println((char)Integer.parseInt(s.substring(1), 8));Now all you have to do is parse through the String and replace them, which I think shouldn't be too hard for you now :)

[Athlon64] Annoying little problem! PLease help

Hi Ben.
Thank you very much vor your replay
but I still can get it
Here the code
on testAlphaChannels sourceImage, cNewWidth, cNewHeight,
pRects
cSourceAlphaImage=sourceImage.extractAlpha()
newImage = image(cNewWidth, cNewHeight, 32)
newImage.useAlpha = FALSE
newAlphaImage = image(cNewWidth, cNewHeight, 8)
repeat with i=1 to pRects.count
destRect=......
newImage.copyPixels(sourceImage, destRect, pRects
newAlphaImage.copyPixels(cSourceAlphaImage, destRect,
pRects,
[#ink:#darkest])
end repeat
newImage.useAlpha = TRUE
newImage.setAlpha(newAlphaImage)
textMember = new(#bitmap)
textMember.image=newImage
end
But the result is not correct. O my example
http://www.lvivmedia.com/fontPr/Fontproblems3.jpg
image to the left is
created on background image, and image to the right - with
code above
What is wrong in the code, I quoted above?
Any help will be appreciated

1.83ghz also has the whining problem

some bloke on mac rumours has the 1.83 version and it also has the whining problem. gutted. apple rma....
can i post the link?

I know I dont have a post count, so take this with a grain of salt, but I just got my 1.83 delivered at work this morning. Indeed it does have the whine noise. But, like other people have commented, you can stop it by opening Photo Booth.
This is my first Mac laptop though, so I'm prepared to expect some little quirks here and there. All the complaints about the trackpad being stiff and whatnot may be true, but I'm upgrading from a $700 HP Pavilion laptop, so this thing is like a BMW to me.
If it gets annoying I may send it back but so far I'm prepared to deal with it.

Help with iBook G3 12" Logicboard problem

Hello.
I have a strange problem with an iBook G3 12" 600 MHz, maybe you can help me.
this is the story
A friend gave me what he called a "dead ibook"
The first thing I noticed is that when I connect the AC adapter, the plug light (orange) turns on for 1/2 second, I can hear a click and then the light turns off.
at this point if I try to reconnect the plug, the AC adapter does not send power anymore and I have to unplug the AC adapter from wall main plug.
I have tested with another AC adapter from an iBook G4...same result
I have removed the battery and tried re-connecting the G3 only with the AC adapter ... same result.
I have disconnected the AC adapter and tried using a fully charged battery from the G4 in to the G3, and... Surprise!! the iBook G3 boots perfectly!! and the Mac os x works perfectly.
At this point I thought that maybe was a faulty DC-in board. I bought a new one. After disassembling the iBook and put the new DC-in board the iBook has the same symptoms...
Conclusion: Imposible to use a AC adapter, the iBook only can work with battery.
There must be something in the logic board that is shorting something, but I can´t find it.
Can you give me some ideas?? I´m lost
thank you

It could be a logic board problem or it could be that you got another defective DC-in board. It would not be the first time that a second defective DC-in board has been reported here.
If it is the logic board, chances are the only remedy is a logic board replacement. When my husband's DC-in board was bad, we just swapped batteries until he got it fixed. Since these iBooks are getting quite old, you may want to just do the battery-swap with the iBook G4 instead of repairing the iBook G3. It gets to a point where the expense of a repair just isn't worth it on a computer this old.
Good luck.

Little problem whit gps

Hey
I got a little problem whit my gps.
Yesterday I buy my new nokia e72 + a free navigation.
I also reload my credit to €15.
On the eve I drive whit my car 26km away form home and I also use my gps to know how I have to drive. When I was there I end the navigation and I also call the number to check credit, at that moment I hear that my credit was under €15 so my question is is it normal that I have to pay to use my gps ? Its over €0.80 just to start gps . Is it normal because on ovi gps book stands in big letters ovi gps is totaly FREE . ?
can somebody help me ?
greets

the ovi maps itself is completely free, however, unless you use ovi suite to install the maps you need on your phone, your device has to download all the map data as you drive or walk along, using data, which is not free.
even when you load the maps to your device, you usage of ovi maps will require some data usage to connect to the gps. but it will be GREATLY reduced!

Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to my computer

I have an HP Pavilion dv6 notebook; Product # WF536AV, running Win 7-Home. Without warning, when trying to boot one day I got the following error message:
Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. May be caused by unplugging removable storage while in use or a faulty hhd or CD drive. An unexpected I/O error. Error Code oxcoooooe9.
I have a 500GB WDC hhd that seems to run hot.
Cannot get into F8 Advanced Options, although I can get into BIOS (F9 & F10)
Ran the Win 7 Recovery Disks twice. No help. Same message
I can run Linux Ubuntu in memory (not installed). GParted shows the following:
Partition size used unused label flag file system
Sda1 76GB 14GB 61GB NTFS
sda2 400MB 300MB 100MB SDV Boot lba FAT32
unallocated 390GB
6. No access to Recovery Manager
7. F2: memory test passed but hhd test would not run
8. In Ubuntu Disk Manager, report said drive had 'a few bad sectors', but hhd test would not run "Self Test- Failed (Read)
9) Ran MBR repair disk and System Rescue disk; no luck
10) In Ubuntu, when I look at the Windows file system, In 82 GB partition there is an 'RM' folder with an "Image" folder with 16 files. In the SDV partition is the bootmgr folder and several others
a) why cannot I boot to Windows off the hhd?
b) what does SDV label mean (secure digital video; silicon data valu;tr; static driver verifer from Windows)?
c) is the hhd simply failing. I do not have an extra to swap out and try
d) may the Win 7 Recovery disks bad, perhaps, and should I then download a Win 7 ISO file and try that?
Thanks for any help. This is highly frustrating. I have already spent about 8 hours on this!

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
