My PowerMac G5 at work isn't loading all the way. Stuck on desktop screen.

Friday morning I had to force shut down the computer due to an error. Then after that, every time I turned it on it would not load all the way. It gets to the desktop screen and a small part of the top menu bar pops up, but it stays like that. Is there any way I can back up some files I had on here? Thanks!

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Does any of that get you further?

Hello katyhale,
I found a couple of articles that might help with the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store and using a Windows computer, I recommend reviewing this article:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
If you are still not able to access the store, I recommend the following article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My macbook pro won't load all the way when I start it up.

Lately, my mac book pro has been slow to use, and the colour wheel pops up often. I shut it down earlier today, and now when I try to start it up, it won't load all the way. When I do manage to get to the homescreen, the applications and toolbars won't load. Any ideas what the issue might be and how I can fix it?

It could be a number of issues, Fred.
Have you optimized your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs to the right of this forum? Oversized photos are the chief reason for these types of failures.

You also say your videos are MP4s. Are these AVCHD video or are they from a "webbie" camcorder, such as the Flip cam? Flip video uses a proprietary codec that often jams up video editors. This is also covered in our FAQs.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/437535?tstart=0
Finally, have you ensured that the drive you are saving your video to has adequate free space and is freshly defragmented? You should always have at least 30 gigs of free space on your drive plus 30-50 more for each hour of video you're outputting.
And, if you are exporting to a drive other than your C drive, you should ensure that the drive is formatted NTFS rather than FAT32. FAT32 drives have a file size limit that often chokes video output.

It's a known issue and has been discussed numerous times. If you need quick access, you can get beautiful silent from the market for free which will allow you have a widget on your homescreen for silent mode.

Hello williamsherry,
You want to reset your computer back to factory settings.
First to make sure that you’re not having a problem with any of the hardware in the computer, run a diagnostics test.
Turn off the computer.
As you power it back on tap the F2 key. This will load hardware diagnostics.
Run the start up test.
This will test all the hardware in the system and detect any problems.
If all tests pass you can run a recovery from the partition on the computer.
Recovery from Windows 7
If Windows 7 opens correctly, perform the following steps to start a system recovery from the Windows 7 start menu.
Turn off the computer.
Disconnect all connected devices and cables such as Personal Media Drives, USB drives, printers, and faxes. Remove media from internal drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware. Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, or power cord.
Turn on the computer.
Click Start, All Programs , Recovery Manager , and then click Recovery Manager again.
If you are prompted for an Administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. If a User Account Control window asks if you want to allow the program to make changes to the computer, click Yes.
Under I need help immediately, click System Recovery.
The Recovery Manager asks if you want to restore the computer to its original factory shipped condition. Click Yes, and then click Next.
The computer restarts. If the recovery partition on the hard disk drive is functioning correctly, the Recovery Manager window appears.
Click System Recovery.
When System Recovery prompts you to back up your files, select a backup option:
If you have already backed up personal files or you do not want to back up personal files, select Recover without backing up your files, and then click Next. Continue to the next step.
Click OK in the warning that appears.
After the system recovery is complete, click Finish to restart the computer. Complete the setup screens and wait until the computer finishes the setup.
Once the setup is complete, turn off the computer, reconnect all devices and cables, and then turn on the computer.
Before using the computer, update and protect your computer. Reinstall any virus and security software that was installed before the system recovery.
Reinstall any software programs that were added after purchasing the computer, as well as any files that were backed up.
Here is a link on how to perform a system recovery.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

HT5085 I need to delete a movie that isn't downloaded all the way on my 5s

Well life is too short I will have passed away by the time anything actually decides to work! Getting really fed up with ' Apple'.

ITunes won't load all the way...Help??

My iTunes store comes up, bar loads half way, no error message. It is only the white screen. I'm on Windows 7, and I have tried reinstalling it, restoring, repairing and uninstalling completely. I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help me? I can access my account, but I can't get anywhere else. The bar just stops loading. I've tried running diagnostics, but every time I do that, iTunes becomes non-responsive.

I've tryied installing iTunes 7 like 8 different ways and it won't install all the way each time it stops at "Resigtering modules"
by any chance, do you have SpyCatcher antispyware software installed on that PC? in quite a number of these "registering modules" hangs, modules installed by SpyCatcher have been interfering with the registration of the itunes modules.
if you do have SpyCatcher, try uninstalling SpyCatcher altogether prior to an itunes install. if the itunes install then goes through properly, you can reinstall SpyCatcher afterwards.

IPhoto will not load all the way

Hey All,
I have tried to get iPhoto to load on my MACBook Pro but it willl not open all the way. iPhoto will load the toolbar but then stop. I am running OS 10.7 and I have iLife 11. I have done all of the updrades and it still will not load. I finally got discusted and completely removed it and reinstalled it. I also repaired all of my permissions with disk utility. Please assist if you can, I am at my wits end.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

IPad not loading all the way,esp.on FB ,on wireless,it's working just fine but this

I 'm having a problem trying to load all my pages on Facebook,......iPad loads maybe one full screen here and then won't go any further. Even the loading circle ....lefthand top.....won't go round? I'm getting my emails in just fine ,it's just a few sites .......news.com.au loads okay and I can 'turn'over to the next screen etc but the minute I get on Facebook, this darned pad has a 'brain lock!'
My big PC is working okay ,can get everywhere on Facebook but not my iPad?
Wireless is connected too so what can be wrong? Only had this for 8 months ,not an old pad by any means. It's been like this for about 24 hours now .when I hit a page link ,it just sits and looks at me:) No loading circle or anything!
Appreciate some suggestions,please?
I live in West Oz.

I just downloaded my Leopord onto my Macbook and I can't get into my Gmail account. It almost loads all the way and then stops. Also Facebook wont load all the way or keeps reloading and wont stop. The whole page never loads.

My computer isn't loading everything fully on Safari now. I can't get into my Gmail. It just stops loading.

Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.
