Need Help with Boot up getting circle with slash on Dual 1 GZ MMD G4

Hi everone, I'm having a problem with my old Dual 1GZ MMD G4 booting up from the HD consistently. I had to replace the power supple very recently and after that I'm having trouble. I've even installed a 250 HD and completely reinstalled the OX back to Jeopard and sometime after it sits it will boot up just fine..... but after restart even holding down OPTION and it see's the HD it will not boot up ( just getting circle with slash) I've verifyed the HD and a repair permissions and all checks out ok! I've have two different HD's that check out ok with disk utility and I still get the same results.... GETTING VERY FRUSTRATED:(
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!
Scott F.

Thanks for your reply! After reading another post I found out what the issue was and I was about to give up......
The Dual processor board was not seated and after reseating it back to the main board it been all good! Theres really know way to tell by looking at it, just gave it a push and noticed it was not right. CRAZY after all the time playing with HD's it was that..... Like the post I read it happen after replacing the Power Supple and I guess it just moved a tiny bit out of place..... I hope this helps others and again thanks for your HELP!!!!

    OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

  • Will only boot to a circle with a slash

    MacBook Pro will only boot to the circle with a slash symbol. I have tried all the turn on hold C, X, Option key suggestions and have tried the clearing ideas (hold cntl, commmd, p, r). Have put the system disk in to boot from that, now I cannot get the disk out.
    Any suggestions out there?

    Your computer is not recognizing your hard drive. Plug a mouse in and hold the mouse key down when booting. The disc should eject. Next, make sure the disc is real clean with no finger prints or scratches on it. Then try booting from it again (by holding the "C" key down) when booting. See if your Disk Utility sees the drive and run that. If it does not, or the unit will not boot from the install disc, then you have a serious problem--possibly logic board-related. You could also try running DiskWarrior and see if that will boot and repair the drive.

  • Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

    Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c.  I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report.  I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
    Thanks,
    NBGHealth

    Hello,
    I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
    Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
    Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
    Thank you

    Hi, one question & one suggestion...
    What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • I need help in booting the microsoft operating system

              i need help in booting the microsoft operating system from startup.

    Which version of OS X are you running? All you need to do is to purchase a retail copy of whichever flavor of Windows you like (I prefer Windows 7 Professional to Win 8.1) and use Boot Camp to install same. Then you'll be able to boot into either Mac OS or Windows by holding down the option key.
    Boot Camp -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1461.

  • All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW.  This is for all of my photos.  I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so it goes to Default. thanks

    All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW.  This is for all of my photos.  I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so all photos goes to Default or as shot. thanks

    Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

  • Getting circle with slash at startup...

    My computer started to get really slow one night so I decided to restart it, but then I ended up with the circle with slash error and couldn't now can't get past it.  Here is what I have tried so far:   Reset PRAM.   Tried to "repair disc" using disc utilities, eneded up with an error (sorry, dont remember what the error was!).   Had planned on re-installing the OS by erasing the hard drive, ended up with the follwing error "Disc erase failed.  POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed.  No such file or directory"   Starting to think replacing the hard drive might be the easiest option, unless anyone knows what's going on??  Thanks!

    ((((((Were you doing this from the the DVD because that's the way to do it.))))))
    Yes.
    ((((By now it sounds like you have written off the existing OS and want to reinstall it again. What problem are you having trying to do this?
    Will it restart and allow you to boot into the DVD for you to reinstall?)))
    Yep, it will allow me to boot from the dvd.   I everything backed up on an external drive using time machine.   When I tried to "restore system from back up" under "utilities" after inserting the DVD, there is a section where you select the disc where you want to restore your system to and my main hard drive isn't even showing up in the list...

  • Urgently need help: blank white screen at start with unusual symbol...

    Hi guys,
    I just turned on my 24 inch early-2008 model iMac, and it came up with a blank white screen, with a grey circle and a line through the middle of the circle. It doesn't say what this means in the manual. Recently, I have been having numerous troubles with my iMac, and I have seen the symbol of the grey folder with the question mark, but not this new symbol. I only just got off the phone to the Apple people when this happened.
    What does this mean? Is my computer done for?

    Have a read here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    For starters, start your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option-key until the Boot Selection screen is shown.
    Choose to boot into OSX (usually the icon labeled Macintosh HD).
    If succesful and you get into OSX go to System Preferences the Startup Volume and reset your OSX to be the default.

  • I have a godaddy website with a welcome page- I need help adding a few additional pages with a hyperlink to my welcome page.

    I need help attaching a few hyperlinks my godaddy welcome page. I have 2 more ipages articles, I also converted them to pdf. Godaddy only helped (last year) with the 1st article.  I do not know how to attach a hyperlink to the artlcles and add the hyperlinks to my welcome page.

    The program is called Pages not iPages. Just let us know if you do not speak English and what language you do speak so we can adjust for that.
    The issues are to do with your web page not with Pages.
    I think you are asking how to link from your web page to your pdf articles. You must first copy those pdfs to your web server, or some other web location, and then provide html links on your welcome page to those pdf files.
    The pdfs themselves may contain links to other locations but I can not see that that is what you are asking for.
    Nor to what those links would be to.
    From your heading I think you may have confused the name of Pages, the word processing program, with web pages which are two different things.

    Hi....
             A network HUB is a network device that is used to connect multiple computer so that they can share the resources. In more general way a hub can be defined as a common connection point for devices in the network.
                There are hubs that can be managed by an administrator. In case of NH1005 it is not a manageable HUB. Connect the devices to the HUB and if the devices are properly configured they will communicate with each other.
