My new(ish) Samsung S4 won't start.

My new(ish) 30 day old Samsung S4 won't start. It was working normally this morning. Now it won't start. I take out my battery plug it back in, and then the screen displays "samsung galaxy 4" for like a good 3 seconds. Is there any way I can fix this?

Creeated new account - but safari won't start anymore

I created a new account with a parental control. Logged in under the new account and Safari won't start anymore. It quits directly after starting. Any help suggestion ?
Thanks much

Does it work in your old account?
If so, delete everything in the folder /Users/controlled account name/Library/InputManagers.
Also try deleting /Users/controlled account name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist.
(replace controlled account name with the name of the controlled account)
Good luck!

New iMac 20 500Gb won´t start

I got my new iMac iSight 20" today. With the wireless keyboard and mouse and the 500Gb hd option. Great - if it would start.
First time I switched it on, I heard the Apple-sound, then the screen turned gray and showed the apple-logo. Forever. At leasts for several minutes. Then I switched it off, disconnected the power-cord and tried again. Now the screen won´t even turn gray, but after a while the fans runs like crazy.
Defective disc? or what?

I tried pushing the cd in, but it wasn´t drawn in.
This may sound obvious, but I just wanted to verify that you tried inserting the CD with the computer on. The drive should accept the disk as long as it has power.
If it is not accepting the CD with the power on, then you definitely have something interesting going on inside the computer.
I have had several macs since the 80s but this is my worst experience so far
For some reason the iMac G5's seem to be having more than their share of trouble. They don't seem to have the success rate that I am familiar with on Apple's other computers.
I've had two iMac G5's (purchased from Apple) and have had both of them serviced many times.
My recent one is only a couple weeks old, and was put in for service the same day it arrived.
But, with AppleCare I am sure I'll have all the bugs worked out by the time my 3-year warranty expires. If not, they can keep taping it together to get me through the next 3 years.
I am not sure why Apple's quality has seemed to slip. I have never had any trouble with any other Apple computer other than the two iMac G5 computers I have had. Even my first generation Mini is working fine with no service ever having been needed.
Sad when compared to the $400 Compaq I have. I purchased a Compaq PC for some other needs we have, and it hasn't had a single problem at all. It also had a very small profit margin for Compaq, so they didn't short me on the deal. It's a AMD Athlon 64 3400+. Basically, it's a 64-BIT system with a 2.4 GHz CPU that supposed to compare to a 3.4 GHz Intel (which it does quite favorably). It's fast, powerful (for a PC), and definitely more reliable than either of the iMac G5's I've had.
I also sold my 3 or 4 year old HP computer last year, and it put in a strong service life. The new owners are still using it without any trouble (I know them). And, it never failed once. Again, I only paid about $400 for it as well.
I've owned tons of PC's and the following Mac's:
PowerMac G3 266-DT
iBook SE G3 366 (Indigo)
iMac G3 333 (Lime)
iMac G5 (rev. A) 1.8 GHz
Mac Mini 1.25 GHz
iMac G5 (rev. B) 2.0 GHz
And, the only systems I've ever had fail have been the two iMac G5 computers.
So, Apple's quality control seems to have gone down where the iMac G5's are concerned. I wish I could say that they were as reliable as my PC's, but unfortunately the PC's and the older Mac's are rock solid by comparison.

New Core Duo just won't start up again

Hi Everyone,
I am having a problem with my shiny new Core Duo Mini which I received yesterday. I would contact Apple support but today is a public holiday in Australia so I figured I would try the forums.
All went well with the set up. I ran software update and got all the updates (10.4.6, iPhoto, iTunes, Java, Front Row, and a couple of others that I can't remember) and did a reboot. All was fine.
I opened up iPhoto and imported all my photos but as it neared the end of the import the machine just cut out, gave me a black screen, made it's boot-up chime and started rebooting. I have owned Mac's for years and never had one do this to me before.
I figured maybe I had worked it too hard (I just imported 12000 raw images which probably gave it a good workout) so I thought I would do a shut down and let it cool down for a while. Before I got a chance to shut it down it cut-out again and powered off.
I left it for a while then tried to start it up but all I got was the flashing power LED (it flashes very breifly about once a second - sort of like blip............blip...........blip.........blip......... etc. ) and no display signal. I checked out Apple Support and tried a PRAM reset using CMD-OPT-P-R and SMC reset by unplugging all the cables and leaving it for a few minutes but to no avail.
I am using Apple wireless keyboard and mouse and I when it all started to go wrong I had an external firewire drive connected. I also have a blank CD stuck in the drive that I can't eject.
I wondered if it had somehow changed the start-up drive and is looking for another start-up disc or something?? At this point any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Paul.

Mac Mini Core Duo 1.66 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 512MB, Apple Wireless KB & Mouse

Hi Tom,
Thanks for that. I tried ejecting the CD as you suggested by holding down the mouse button (I tried with both my Apple wireless mouse and an old MS USB mouse that I have) but it won't spit the CD out.
When I power-up the Mini the CD drive makes the usual mechanical noises that it should and it spins up for a few seconds but all the while I still have the flashing power LED and nothing else happens. I noticed that when I used the MS mouse the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse didn't light.
I am suspecting that this Mac Mini may be taking a trip back to Apple very soon.
Thanks again for the suggestions.
Paul.

New mac mini server won't start up

Hi I've had the new Mac mini server for 2 day now and it was workinf fine untill I tried to restart it. When I turn it on I just get the apple logo and the gray processing wheel.
I've have used disc utility to check the disc. But that did nothing.
It is picking up the startup disc fine.
Is there anything I can do or will I need to re-install.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Greetings Richard, I ran into a similar situation recently with my mini server. although I believe it to be a problem of my DNS settings getting hosed. I couldn’t log in no matter what log I used-even as the root user.
I had a back up on the second drive of the mini. I did buy the USB drive when I bought the mini, so I was able to boot off the install disc. Then from the menu I choose the back up partion as the start up drive. After restarting, I was at least able to recover and copy my important files to the back up partition. I have not been able to work out the login issue yet. I’ll probably just do a reinstall on the corrupted drive.
In any event, it maybe worth it for you to buy the USB drive and boot off of it.
The verbose mode is for you to be able to login through the command line and trouble shoot from there.
Also, in safe mode, any files that you may want to change permissions, you may need to change the owner and then change the permissions. This is done with the chown command and then chmod command. You’ll need to use the sudo command so you can become the root user to use the commands and make any changes.
Hope this will at least help you get further in troubleshooting this issue.

New 8.2 install won't start on new Sol 10

I just installed SJAS 8.2 Platform on my shiny new Sol 10 install. The whole point of my shiny new Sol 10 install is to install SJAS.
Anyway, I ran install, defaulted the install directory to /opt/SUNWappserver.
I added /opt/SUNWappserver/bin to my PATH.
Fired off asadmin start-doman domain1
And I got:
Starting Domain domain1, please wait.
Log redirected to /var/appserver/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.
/var/appserver/domains is not a directory
CLI156 Could not start the domain domain1.
Thinking "Yeah, OK, logs go to /var, no problem", I created that directory.
Then I tried again and got:
Starting Domain domain1, please wait.
Log redirected to /var/appserver/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.
/var/appserver/domains/domain1 does not correspond to a valid domain directory.
CLI156 Could not start the domain domain1.
It then occured to me that in fact the system has the install directory confused.
However, I looked at config/asenv.conf, and it looks fine. It points to the stock Sol 10 JDK at /usr/j2se, it sets /top/SUNWappserver as the AS_INSTALL directory, and /opt/SUNWappserver is prominent in all of the other entries as well.
So, I'm mildly flumoxed as to why it is insisting on /var/appserver.
Any hints?

Well, your shiny new Solaris 10 came with an 8.x appserver installed as the part of OS and that appserver is installed into /usr/appserver. Asadmin command belonging to that installation is linked in /usr/sbin. You did not mention how exactly you added /opt/SUNWappserver/bin to your PATH, but if you appended instead of prepended you will end up calling bundled appserver's asadmin command (and that somehow did happen).
Since bundled appserver has not been configured to have default domain yet, you got the error message you did.
Solution: prepend /opt/SUNWappserver/bin to the path, run "which asadmin" to verify that you are calling the right one and you should be set!

New iPod Touch 16GB won't start

Hello,
My new iPod Touch won't power on unless I plug it in via the iPod AC power adapter, and then I only get the "cord -> cd/iTunes" image. The second I pull the plug, the screen goes "black" - meaning it shuts off, but I can still see the outline of the previously mentioned image.
I've tried all the recommended solutions I could find. Power + Home button sequence, four different cords (I have a few older edition iPods) + the cord for my own iPod Touch (also new - bought together with my girlfriend - mine works, by the way...)
I would love to reset it via iTunes, but since I can't get it to work without it being plugged in via the AC adapter, that's out of the question. Also tried several USB slots on my computer (those directly tied to the laptop).
Any help or assistance would be nice.. preferably a solution faster than lightning.

I've had it on a genuine Apple iPod AC charger for 15-16 hours now, and the instant I unplug it, the screen goes semi-black. Meaning I can still see the outline of the iTunes-connect screen, as it fades away after a few seconds.
No response when connecting to a computer however. I've gotten one explanation saying that it could be that the Touch is completely drained and that that's why it couldn't get a charge via computer. However, I think I've blown that myth into pieces, no?
So is it broken? ...from factory? Sweet.

New battery now macbook won't start up?!

Hi people! My MacBook Pro died last week, due to the mrs letting it run too low on power! This resulted in the battery being dead!!! I purchased a new one via eBay (a cheaper aftermarket one) I installed the battery and hit power on!! No response!! I have tried various methods to try to get the mac to turn on but nothing seems to work! If I take the battery out and put it back in then hit power on I get it to try to start up for about half a second but then it's just dead again?!? Any ideas??? Thanks guys

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You mustn't purchase a third-party battery, and in your case, it looks like it's damaged, so return it if you want and take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller to get an official battery

New install of PSE7 won't start on Windows XP Pro -- Part Two

As Barbara Brundage suggested in an earlier thread. I unistalled PSE 7; paused Kaspersky Internet Security program; and reinstalled from the original CD. The installation process (again) completed with apparent success. Nevertheless, the program will not load. It generates the same error messages as before:

Viewing "technical information about the error report" takes me to a lengthy screen and a reference to "C:\DOCUME~1\David\LOCALS~1\Temp\4f46_appcompat.txt" That file is very short:

Any other suggestions?

The module adobelmlnhr_libfnp.dll appears to be related to the Adobe licensing, so perhaps you need to install the licensing patch, step 4 below:

New Photoshop Elements 12 won't start installation

Just bought Adobe photoshop elements 12. The disc will pop out after 15 seconds. I hear my Mac but nothing happen. I have all the system requirements (Mac OSX (10.8.5) and recent version of Flash Player. What could be the problem. Thanks!

St. Viateur
Although you purchased the bundle of Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12, each is a standalone product. And, each has it own set of considerations based on its basic reason for being, Photoshop Elements (photo editor) and Premiere Elements (video editor).
However, if I am understanding what you are trying to tell us....
I see your rationale in posting in the Premiere Elements forum since your issue seems to target the installation disc which includes installation files for Premiere Elements as well as Photoshop Elements.
Am I correct in understanding that you insert this one and only disc into your DVD burner tray and, before you can select Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements, the DVD burner tray pops open? Is that correct?
Please excuse the following additional questions, but I do not want to take anything for granted...
a. These bundles come with installation disc for Windows and Mac. Could you have picked up the Windows disc by mistake?
b. Did you purchase the bundle from Adobe or an authorized reseller?
Please verify my understanding of your basic question and confirm that you installation disc is the one for Mac not Windows.
Let us start here and then move forward from there.
Thanks.

Add On...If I understood your question...you are not in the wrong forum.

HT3964 I have a Macbook 2.1, running 10.5 8. with a new battery. It won't start with the battery, but after you start it with the charger, disconnect the charger,it will run for over an hour on the battery,all the while it shows 0% charge! tried reset, no

I have a Macbook 2.1 that runs 10.5.8. I cannot get it to start on battery power. It will run for over an hour on the battery, if you start it with the charger, but even then it shows a 0% charge! I've tried pulling the battery out while it's booted, pulling battery out and discharging the system by holding the power switch, nothing seems to make it work. any ideas? It has all the updates Apple offers, too.

Try resetting the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Brand new imac G5 17" won't start up

Hello,
I just received my new imac today and was really disappointed when after I'd hooked everything up and when I hit the power button the screen stayed black and a small white light on the front turned on for just a second.
Any ideas??? I tried the online chat support--no help there... and, of course, there's no phone support right now. I'm really frustrated. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have a bad feeling it just doesn't work.

I feel your pain. I received a brand new 20" a few weeks ago with the same symptoms. Spent time on the phone with tech support and brought to local Apple Store only to hear them say the unit was DOA. The local Apple Store had not yet received the new 20" models so I had to send the unit back to Apple. I'm a first time Mac owner, and needless to say this was not the first experience I was looking for. I'm glad to say that my second one is running like a charm. You should be able to exchange yours for a new one at a local Apple Store, if you did not make any customizations on your order. Good luck.

How do I sync a new iPad that I've already started using, and don't want to lose the data?

I have a new-ish iPad that I have started using without syncing to iTunes.
I now need to sync iBooks, if that is possible, with my iPhone. I gather that the best way to do this is to link the iPad and iPhone up with iTunes.
When I plug the iPad into my iMac, it appears as though it will delete all the existing content on my iPad as it thinks it is a brand new, unused iPad. I don't want this.
How do I connect the iPad to iTunes for the first time, without it erasing what I already have on it?

Sadly, none of this works.
I have backed up using PhoneView and iCloud. When I plug the iPad in, I can't access anything other than a binary option that says 'set up as a new iPad' or restore from a previous back-up. Sadly, none of the iCloud back-ups that I have done from my iPad appear in the list.
Looking at the list provided above, I can only do steps 1-3.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
- This doesn't work. A pop-up appears saying that I have already authorised 4 devices. It won't let me do anything else with this.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your iTunes library).
- Greyed out - can't do this.
- None of the things below therefore work either.
6. Right click your phone in the left device pane & select "Reset warnings".
7. Right click again and select "Backup".
8. Right click again & select "Restore from Backup", select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your iTunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select "Merge".

Fascinate won't start unless plugged in

My Samsung Fascinate won't start unless plugged in. Even with a full battery. It shows a dead battery and won't start.

How old is the phone/battery? I would order a new, OEM battery from an online retailer (usually inexpensive, fast delivery) like cellularaccessories.com or batteries4less.com and see if that fixes the issue. Batteries do wear out....

My new(ish) Samsung S4 won't start.
