Just try connecting to charger, when the battery meter starts to show, hold the power button untill the phone starts, I've heard this can work, if not I appologise. Also on 3 finger reset did you hold all the buttons untill the wake up screen showed and you were asked to select your location ? People sometimes release the buttons too soon !
Good Luck

Mac Mini Start Up problem?

I am having a start up problem with my powerpc mac mini which runs on max os x 10.4.11. About a week ago there was one day where it would not power on at all so I waited a day and it turned on again and was fine again. However today, when I connected a new WD hard drive to back-up my files, the computer froze. I assumed that was normal since this has happened every now again, I guess its because it doesn't have a lot of RAM. So i had to turn it off by holding down the power button at the back. I removed the hard drive then turned the mac mini on again but now all I see is a flashing folder which alternates between something that looks like finder and a question mark. Basically the folder looks like this: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-desktops/164988-folder-flashes-question-m ark.html
According to those people, it means that the mac mini doesn't have an operating system installed but that is impossible for me since i've been using this mac mini for 7 years. I've tried starting up in safe mode but that won't work. When I try to start up using the start up menu, I see no hard drive icon to select. All i see in this menu is an arrow that resembles the "undo" arrow in word and an arrow pointing to the right. I haven't tried re-installing the software that came with the mac since that might (or will) erase all my files.
So any ideas on what could be wrong? Has my mac mini given out because it's old? Is there something wrong with the hard drive? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hello Jay,
The drive is either dead, dying, or having severe problems.
See if Disk Utility sees it at all.
"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 the 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 Utility checks and repairs the disk."

New Intel Mac Mini Start-up Problems

I've recently purchased a new Intel Mac Mini (my first Mac after switching from a PC). Several times (probably once a day), the mac mini won't start-up.
I've noticed it happens after I've used iPhoto or iDVD. The mini becomes busy and performance seems to slow. After the software has finished its task, I can exit the application fine and shut down the mini.
When I then go to boot the mini, the little blue light comes up, but nothing else happens. It's almost as though it's in sleep mode (which it isn't). I've tried different ways to wake it using the keyboard, mouse and start button, but nothing.
The Mac Mini will only start-up again if it is unplugged from the mains and left for several minutes.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something I'm doing wrong that my lack of Mac knowledge may not be aware of?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have been frustrated by the same issue. My (admittedly non-professional) diagnosis is that the problem is related to heat build up. I am able to boot normally only after forcing a hard shut down and waiting for "a while" (5 minutes is not enough, 30 minutes does the trick). Thus my hypothesis that an appropriate cooling down period is needed.
Any similar thoughts? I'm calling Apple today...

Mac mini start up problems

good day! i have a problem with my mac mini and it wont start up i already follow the instructions at the manual but still problem occurs.. pls. help. tnx happy new year!

Hello Jaun,
Is this what you tried?
"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.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

N97 Mini Start Up Problem

Apparently after rebooting my phone, my N97 Mini does not start up, instead, it shows a white screen with the word "NOKIA" and it's stuck there forever.
Googled the issues and I am not the only one who faces this problem, but the thing is, people cannot seem to find any solutions to this, I was hoping to get assistance over here. True enough I can bring my cellphone to the nearest Nokia Care Center, but how many times do I have to face this? And I'm lucky to have a spare phone with me, otherwise, travelling is going to be a problem for me because my phone is my essential.
Anybody has any solution to this?

I've encountered "stucked forever with white screen Nokia logo" problem for more than 5 times since I bought Nokia Mini for one month.It's really frustrating in the beginning. I know this will randomly happen. Well, it just happened again 2 days ago.
Here is my quick fix to undermine the impact.
1. Bought a 8GB SDHC card for mini.
2. Put all my favourite softwares' SIGNED sources (*.sisx) in SD card (F: drive in File manger).
3. Randomly backup Setting, Message, Contacts, Calendar in SD card.
I don't backup "Files" since I don't know what kind of files it backups and sometimes those files are large.
4.1 If the mini DEAD again(freezes at NOKIA booting logo), then Hard-Reset the N97 mini.
4 2 Go to backup Fucntion to restore your previous backups. (i.e. Setting, Message, Contacts, Calendar)
4.3 Go to File Manager and install your favourite softwares again from the SD card.
To install softwares directly from SD card is much faster and easier then from PC/Laptop.
Especially, when mini dead on the go or during the trip, you won't be worried about NO PC besides you.
ps. I don't put softwares and backups in Mass Memory because I may format it when needed.
Although "Crash" thing is still bothering sometimes, the quick fix makes me feel better(safe !?) and I still love using Mini.
Cheers,

(G4) Mini Start-up Problem

I bought my Mini in August of 2005 just before the Intel Macs were released. It was runnning perfectly fine until I found it locked up one day. I could not get it to respond at all, and I had just come home from work, so it could have been like that for hours. I did a forced shut down (Holding down the power button). It shut down and then I powered it back up. When I did, it went to the gray loading screen (With the spinning gear) and it just hangs there. After 20 minutes or so it will load a blue desktop, but no finder or anything else. I can move the mouse around, and thats it.
Its been two weeks of working on it on/off, this has been my first real experience in trying to fix a Mac, I have worked on countless PCs. I have done all the RAM resets I tried running the Disk Utilities on the OSX CD and got it to run once, I got the disk repair to run, and it found an error in the startup and repaired it, but now it just freezes when I try to load the CD. I have since purchased a MacBook partly because I wanted one anyway, but it was out of need for a new computer. I have tried to use target Disk Mode but when I click to open the disk, it just hangs trying to load it.
The only conclusions that I can come to are hardware problems. The things on my list of problems would be, A (Very) Scratched Hard Disk, Hard Disk failure, or some type of Memory Problem. Though the later seems less likely.
I don't know what to do. I have a couple years worth of Photos I would very much like to get off of the Mini, if anyone can offer any help it would be appreciated. Also, for not having Owned the computer for two years yet, SHOULD THERE BE SUCH MASSIVE HARDWARE FAILURE?
Mac Mini (G4), MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Sorry to hear about your system. Not clear from your post, have you reset the PMU and PRAM: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300574
Have you tried rebooting holding the shift key down? This is a safe boot, it does some disk maintenance and doesn't start any login items, amongst other things. Does that work? If it does, try rebooting normally.
If the hard drive is OK, with a logic board issue, you should be able to pull the hard drive out of your mini, mount it in an enclosure, then pull the photo's off to your new MacBook. If, however, it's a hard drive issue, you can have a service recover the hard drive contents, however, be forewarned they are pricey.
These things happen sometimes. I bought my PPC mini in January 2006, and it's been working fine since then. Backing up on a regular basis is important....you might consider one of the backup drives OWC sells at http://www.macsales.com, or from some other vendor, as you go forward.

Mac Mini with Major Problems

I'll try to make this short, but it is a looonngg problem.
About one month ago my Mac Mini began having problems when I boot up. The computer would freeze on the opening page where I put in my password. My wireless keyboard and trackpad would not work. This would be interminent at first but progressively got worse.
I spent hours on phone tech support. Finally realizing that would not help I drove the 100 mile round trip to the local Apple store for a Genius bar appointment.
The first appointment (there have been 5 - meaning 500 miles) resulted in them doing a clean install of Lion. I took the computer back to the office and guess what, the same problem.
I drove back to the Apple store, the Genius did some more work and proclaimed it fixed. It was, for about 3 days when everything started again.
More time now on tech support. One more trip to the Apple store.
This time they kept the Mac Mini for about 4 days are replaced the logic/mother board.
I got it back to the office on Thursday. Everthing works great.
Until today. I boot the computer, it gets to the screen that has the apple on it - then nothing.
I manually power it down and reboot. Same thing.
I've set up ANOTHER appointment at the Genius bar tomorrow.
My question: can I demand that they replace this machine. Between work and home I have 2 Mac Mini's, a Macbook Pro, a Macbook Air and 2 iPhones. I've never had this type of problem. I'm really tired of this.
I purchased this in February so it is in warranty.
Thanks

Excellent new, sorry you had so much trouble on the way. And yes, Apple Stores are awesome!

Shut down // start up problems

i am having power related problems on the intel mini and i want to know how widespread this is before i confront apple support. btw i love the mini--this is my 2nd mini. i have had a power on problem with a mini even on the day of purchase and it was exchanged graciously at the apple store in white plains this past july.<this was a power button failure issue>
here's whats happenning....1>it misbehaves on shut down or restart by software. there gets to a point where the screen is black but the white light on the box stays on and the vents in the back are still warm. my workaround is to manually shut down about a minute after the software shut down by holding down the power button on the back of the mini.
......2> start up problem. the mini wont always start when i push the power button. my workaround has been to turn off my surge protector for about 10 seconds then turn it back on and VIOLA the power button can start the mini. i guess it needs to be cold to work.
i have been reticent to go to the store because i rely on this machine too much and i am not the only user here.
can some reader disclose if such a hardware failure is known?
thanks in advance.

thanks. i hadn't thought about the surge protector.
keyboard and mouse are bluetooth.monitor is digital 24". i have an external powered usb hub which runs my time machine external drive. i keep everything else unplugged from the usb hub during startup and shutdown because my ipod shuffle caused startup problems in the past.
i had similar troubles with my first mini when it was plugged directly into a wall socket. the surge protector seems to help--at least i can cold start the mini without unplugging it.
i have a genius bar apptmt this evening and i will see what gives. i am glad i made apple put in their own overpriced ram so i never voided the warranty. maybe i will buy a care plan to cover myself when i am there. but i so want to raise this mini from 2 to 4 gig now that mem is so cheap. if i can get this problem stabilized...
my very first mini was powerpc and the ipod shuffle, according to genius bar, caused its demise due to usb 1.1 and usb2.0 handshaking problems. i still have it somewhere and plan to install a harddrive to get it going.
thanks again guys.
and i'd like to ask others again if this problem is more common.

Mac mini start up shut down code

I appreciate the two responses, from '300Tech' and TITOUMAX to my original question.
I was reluctant to take the "sudo halt" terminal suggestion since a warning loomed over the danger of losing data.
I was unable to post a copy of the code sequences suggested by TITOMAX since the problem was solved by the time I saw his post.
I received an answer from Apple.
I was able to halt display of start up and shut down code by shutting the Mac mini down and starting the machine while holding down "cmd option PR" keys until the computer gave the normal start sound followed by a repeat of the start sound. This procedure led to a normal start up process and also a normal shut down process without the display of the "start up code" during start up or the display of the "shut down code" during shut down.
By the way, holding down the "cmd option R" keys with my left hand while pressing the Mac mini start button with my right hand and quickly getting my right hand in place to hold the "P" key was tricky, but only took two tries to achieve success.
I was concerned that the display of those lines of code was an indicator of an impending problem. It turned out to be an unintended feature following replacement of the logic board.
By the way, Apple Care has been wortwhile for me.

Thanks for the report, that's called a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

Satellite Pro M10 - start up problems

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro M10, only 2 years old, but has big start up problems at mement.
The message that comes up when turning it on is:
"Intel (R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.09
Copyright (C) 1997-2002, Intel Corporation
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Insert system disk in drive.
press any key when ready......"
Now I have spoken to a few people and they all say I need a new hard disk etc..., but I can't see how you replace this as it looks like it is built in rather than something than can just be pulled out.
Also I don't have a system disk, and the guy that supplied it to me has decided not to return my emails?
Can anyone help please?
Chris

Hi,
Your original error messages indicate that your laptop is unable to boot from the hard drive, so the BIOS search order will then force a boot from the CD drive. This is why it is asking fro a disc to be inserted.
Since you cannot boot into safe mode then I must presume that your hard drive is corrupt in some way, so the next option is to restore the hard drive from your recovery CDs. Note that this will reformat you hard drive and you will lose any data on there which has not been backed up.
To use the recovery CDs simply insert the first CD into the CD drive and power attempt to reboot the laptop while holding down the 'C' key on the keyboard. (This may be different for your CDs but it is the "C" key on mine).
Then just follow the on-screen prompts to start restoring your hard drive.
With regard to your question about the 'system disk', this can be any bootable CD that you may have. Some can be supplied by third party products (such as Norton Ghost) or may be created yourself for subsequent use. Your product recovery CDs are also bootable so you may be able to user the first of them at this prompt.

Hp mini 5101 charging problem

Hi I have charging problem with my mini5101.
When is turned on, the battery is charging normaly, but when is turned off the power led near the ac adapter socket after 10 min start blinking constantly and the battery stops charging.
I have tested the battery and ac adapter and it seems that both are working fine. I have also tryed a new bios and another ac adapter, same problem.
What sould I do... Please help

I'm having a slightly different problem and just repalced the AC adaptor just in case....NO LUCK. When power cord is connected, I have no indication that the batteries are charging and when I attempt to turn on, the blues light near the AC adaptor input turns on briefly and dims to an "off-white" color and then the computer powers off.
I'm stuck and in desperate need of assistance, but trying to get through to the right person at customer service is very difficult.

Start up problems, including from installation disc.

Hello everyone in the Apple ether, I need your help!
I have a powerpc based iMac G5 at home that I set up for my mum to use once I bought my macbook. I finally managed to win her over with talks of how much easier it would be for her to manage her photos in iPhoto, and everything was going really well. I recently came home after my final year at uni and some travelling to find that the computer is taking a long time to start up. This can be in both the grey apple loading screen but also once it logs in it can take a long time to display anything over than the desktop background, and even once it displays other items any attempt to open anything just results in a spinning wheel icon. At the worst case it has taken about 20 minutes to get going.
Once it has fully booted, the machine doesn't appear to be working any slower than normal. I tried using disk utility in mac OSX and verifying permissions etc and that didn't do anything. I then tried googling the problem and came across this article on the apple web site. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Starting in Safe Mode did not resolve the issue so after backing everything up I tried starting from the installation disc. This is not something I have ever done before and as someone that never really delves beneath the surface of her machines I was a bit scared of doing it. But I put the disc in and restarted and held down C just after I heard the chime, and shortly after it all went wrong. The screen went grey and all I could see was the image you get when it crashes (you know, the power sign with text over it saying you need to restart) with lines of code all down the left of the screen. I took a photo of the screen on my camera so can give details of the code if you need them. The last line said
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.3: Wed Oct 18 22:00:38 PDT 2006; root:xnu-792.15.4.obj-4/RELEASE_PPC
panic: We are hanging here...
After a few minutes on this screen the fan started working overtime and after about 5 minutes of that I just turned it off using the power button on the back. The machine has since started up normally (ie slowly) but is working fine.
So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to fix the slow start up problem without booting from my install disc, or indeed if anyone could suggest why I can't boot from my install disc? Thanks very much for your time and help.

It appears you experienced a kernel panic which is hardware related. A few suggestions for you to try:
Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from the computer & try the suggestions mentioned in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805 Mac OS X: "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or *kernel panic* when computer starts
User Tips: Kernel Panics
==============
Boot up from your Tiger or Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose *"Disk Utility"* from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the *"repair disk"* button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and run *repair permissions* from Disk Utility.
* If Disk Utility (from the install DVD or HD)is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
