just regular FireWire cable (6-6 pin) - when you use target mode, computer acts as if it was external hard drive and supposed to show up on another Mac's desktop as a drive - you could use Disk Utility on another Mac and format the PowerBoook.
if there is some hardware problem though, sometimes target mode won't work.
also, maybe try some other OS disc just in case your OS CD is defective somehow.

  • My iPad switches itself off when I'm on the Internet help

    When I'm using my iPad on the net it switches itself off and I'm having to turn it back on again and out in my password I only want to use it properly

    Hi Lisah,
    It sounds like you may have some corrupted files in the operating system -- when built-in apps and features like Camera and Siri malfunction, corrupted files are often the culprit.  There are a few things you can do to fix this -- first thing I'd recommend would be to back up your device to make sure you have all of your current data and settings saved.  Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    After backing up your data, try resetting all settings in Settings > General > Reset.  Try the camera and charger again to see if you still see the same strange behavior.  If so, there's likely a corrupted file in the iOS installation.  It's pretty easy to reinstall the operating system files to fix this -- you will need a computer with internet access.  Follow the steps in Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support to completely reinstall the iOS files and get a fresh, clean installation.
    After using iTunes to restore the phone, go through the setup assistant on the phone and choose the option to Set up as a new iPhone.  Set it up as new and test the camera again -- if it works this time, that's a good sign!  After making sure it works properly, you can restore from the backup that created before doing all of the resets and restores.  This will bring your content and settings back to the phone.
    Good luck!

  • My ipad freezes then powers itself off

    Hi,
    My iPad 2 freezes, then after a few minutes it powers itself off and asks me to enter my passcode again.
    Sometimes, it freezes from entering passcode and nothing works.

    My iphone keeps freezing, then turning itself off. Please help me resolve the problem whatever it may be.

    You said that you restored it.  "forgot to mentioned that ive tried all of that"
    When you restore, you can restore from backup or as new.
    Did you or did you not restore it?

  • Phone freezes and turn itself off when the "Ph. se...

    I got a Nokia n97 mini 2 weeks ago and the phone works great except that sometimes it would turn itself off and when I turn it back on it lags and freezes. I notice every time the phone freezes and turn itself off when the "Ph. setup" in the App menu is running. Is the device updating itself? How can I make it stop? Everything freezes as soon as the Ph. setup starts running. 
    I try waiting it out (if the phone is setting something up it shouldn't take more than a few minutes) but I leave it there for several hours and it's still frozen.
    Thanks for reading -sorry if my English sucks-

    FYI: Siri can only do certain things when locked. It will not do anything that requires the iPhone to be unlocked (without first unlocking the iPhone).

  • Mirroring switching itself off.

    Mirroring is switching itself off after a minute or 2. Works fine for a couple of minutes and then switches itself off.

    Have you considered your network.
    Do you have a reasonable signal strength, what about interference.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • 6131 switches randomly off, when closed

    My 6131 has the annoying habit to switch itself off, when I close the lid. Often I'm not aware of it and put the phone in my pocket, while awaiting a call or message - wich is obviously not coming in.
    Is this due to at too sensible power button (is there a work around this) or is thi a software or hardware problem?

    If it's at to sensible power button, auto keypad lock won't help, 'cause it takes a considerable amount of time, before it locks the keypad. so I have to lock it maually - and what use is the lid for then (thats one of the mail reasons for me to buy that phone), mi intention was to be able to close the phone and put it in my pocket, without having to do anything further.
    The battery is fitting tight, I tryed to rock it, while the phone was switched on, and it stayed on, so no probs there.
    Software is the newest (6.10), I had the same problem with the older version before I updated.
    I considered gluing som kind of protection at the base or the side of the power switch, bit this has to be very well planned and designed (I dont want to destroy the good looks of my phone).
    But thanks for your suggestions anyway!

  • Nokia 2730c switching itself off on standby

    Firstly, I've heard it everywhere - "contact your local help centre". Well I've also heard, everywhere, that the local help centres are filled with a bunch of useless **bleep** who can't do their job. So I'm trying to avoid that by any means!
    With that said - my Nokia seems to be switching itself off when I leave it on stand-by.. but never when it's actually in use. Sometimes it'll happen in 5 minutes, other times it can take hours. I just recently purchased this phone and am in desperate need for a solution! Expecting a lot of calls.. you know how it is.
    So.. ANYTHING that has the slightest bit of chance at working, I'd love to hear it and try it out! If there's seriously nothing I can do, I'll waste my time taking the phone to the help centre 3 times over so I can get a replacement..
    Thanks!

    Looks like I heard correctly.. took the phone in to get fixed, and while it was getting fixed they gave me a loan phone to use in the meantime. And what do ya know the loan phone doesnt work. (yup it was a nokia) Get a call a week later saying the phone was fixed, I make they guy assure me - THREE TIMES - that the phone was working and that he tested it. He said all was good. So I pick the phone up, take it home, and find the problem within 5 minutes. he DID NOT test it. it WAS NOT fixed. I doubt it was even looked at!
    Just a heads up to anyone who reads this - stay away from nokia.

    I like to watch tvcatchup or sky go or I player on my iPad while falling asleep, the problem is that the iPad then stays on all night. I would like to find an app that allows me to set a timer for the iPad to switch itself off automatically, like the sleeper function on a TV.
    Does such an app exist? Can anyone help me? Thanks

    You can try the Sleep Timer.

  • ICloud drive keeps switching itself off on my iPad 2

    I have a MBP and an iMac = both on Yosemite and both working with iCloud drive OK.
    But I cannot get this to work on iPad 2 with IOS 8 - with either Pages or Keynote.  It keeps telling me to set up iCloud - which I do as per instructions - but it sends me round in the same circles!
    This is driving me crazy and has wasted hours!  I have signed in and out of iCloud several times and enabled iCloud Drive.  Then also down to Pages app and checked on for 'use iCloud'  Somehow - this switches itself off again after a few seconds!  How does this happen?
    Why does it not stay on????????
    While it is 'on' - Every time I try to use the Pages app I cannot see my iCloud drive documents - and when I try and save it then tells me to set up iCloud!
    This is useless to me if it will not work as advertised!

    I suggest that you do a update or reinstall of the phone software via the Update Service program. www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice
    Hopefully will that solve your problem.
    If you get the option to update I suggest that you select to update and also factory reset the phone.
    If you only get the option to reinstall you already have the latest version, this will automatically result in a master reset too.

  • Lumia 830 switches itself off and then on!

    My new Lumia has a gremlin. Every few days it will switch itself off and immediately on again. I notice there is no "goodbye" screen. Usually I am on the internet of using an app and the phone freezes and then goes off. When it switches on I have to set the clock again to the correct time. Kinda annoying for a brand new phone.

    Thanks for sharing your Lumia 830 experience in Microsoft Mobile Community, prashantarora. If you're still experiencing the rebooting issue, consider trying the fixes given here: My phone does not work or respond as expected. Any update about the outcome will be appreciated.
