New Problem - It will start when open, but turns off when closed

I started a new thread so that I wouldn't confuse anyone.
I was trying to solve a problem with my G4 not starting after installing an additional DVD drive, but the problem is different now.
The G4 will start and run correctly with it opened up, but as soon as I shut the door, it shuts down.
Any ideas?????

Hi
I'd check whether any cables are being pinched or crimped as the case is closed. With the case open, you can also apply some light finger pressure to each cable, bending it in the same direction as when the case is closed, to narrow down the problem. It may be a connector is loose, or a cable is damaged internally. I'd pay particular attention to the cable that connects the front panel board (containing the On button etc) to the logic board. This is normally a narrow black ribbon cable and crosses the main case hinge near the front.

Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.

I am having problems launching the standalone version of Lightroom 6 after I have gone through the install and activation process? Lightroom starts to open but "hangs" before any photos in the catalgue are displayed. I have contacted the chat support twice but they have not been able to fix the problem.

I went through the activation process yesterday and shut down my PC when I went to bed last evening. When I got up this morning and turned my PC on and then started Lightrom 6 (I upgraded from version 5) it started to launch but then just hung and became "not responsive". I I then uninstalled and then reinstalled the product today but the same thing happened. What is weird is that when I install from the standalone file I downloaded when I purchased the upgrade it looks like it's downloading the software again over the Internet? I have been having these problems for the last four or five days. I have contacted the chat support folks twice and they were able to get it working but whatever they did did not last as the problem reappeared again once the PC was shut down and then started up again.

Why has my new ipad stopped saving photos from Facebook? Problem could have started when I downloaded the new OS.

Why has my new IPad stopped saving pictures from Facebook. Worked originally and problem may have started when I downloaded OS 6.

You are correct that the behavior started when you installed iOS 6 - but as Chetan6518 explained - you now have to configure it in the settings.
Along with the suggestion above, there is also a Photos setting in Privacy and that gives access to approved apps for photos as well.
Last of all, make sure that you haven't set a photos restriction in Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos

When I try to back up my iCloud device it will start the process but will not finish the backup

When trying to backup my iCloud on iPad it will start the process but moments later it stops and is unable to finish

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

I can only text through ordinary message when not connected to the internet to someone, but when I am connected, it is automatically assumed as iMessage. How will I text ordinarily without turning off the net? Thank you!

I am from the Philippines btw. What I meant is, I cannot text someone ordinarily when the net is turned on, and it assumes to be texting through iMessage. How will I text someone without turning off the internet in an ordinary way, not in iMessage? Thank you.

I Tried that already, but if i turned it off, I cannot send an imessage to people I want to text through imessage. There are people in my contacts that when I text, it is automatically as text message, while there are some that when I text, it is through iMessage automatically, and I just want through text message also. And for the latter, I still need to turn off the wifi in my phone for them to be texted through iMessage, which is more hassle.

Some hacker (that is well known to me) is turning my new iphone 4 on remotely and although I turn off my phone every night, I wake up to see it has been turned on by itself, the same hacker was hacking into my old phone. Any suggestions? please

Hi Friends
I got a problem which I thought somebody online may be able to help me.
I know for fact that someone is turning my iphone on remotely and hacks into it. the same person used to hack into my HTC phone before that is why I switched to iphone4, but I see my phone is being turned on by itself in middle of the night!! Could anybody help me please!! Thanks so much

Doubtful your phone is being hacked (unless this person had possession of the phone in the past and you or he/she jailbroke it) but turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi or put it into airplane mode and see if anything changes. I don't blame you for being concerned about your phone coming on by itself but, as the saying goes, when you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras. It is more likely to be something innocent.
What proof do you have that this person hacked into your old phone? What proof do you have that this person is hacking into your new phone, other than you've noticed the phone being on?
If you know "for a fact" it is being hacked and by whom, get together your definitive proof of it being hacked and definitive proof of who is doing it and visit your local police department or visit these guys: http://www.cybercrime.gov/index.html. I believe it is a felony.
You could also take it to an Apple store or give Apple Service a call and see what they think. Maybe they can give you a few reasons why it is coming on by itself or can help you figure out if something else is going on.

Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

Why will my iPhone 4s not turn off?

I may be experiencing a similar problem. My scenario is that the phone (4s) is 2 weeks old and won't power off. I hold down the button on the upper right for a few seconds, an option comes up to swipe to the right to "power off" the phone. I swipe this to the right and the phone powers off for only a few seconds and then automatically turns itself back on. This is a new problem for this phone. I was able to power it off previously, so I'm confident that it's not "pilot error". Here's something curious; if the phone is plugged into a wall charger it will power off and stay that way until disconnected from the outlet, even if the charger is still connected to the phone. I took this phone to an Apple store and the guy that helped me cleaned out the charging port claiming it was dirty and was successful at getting the phone to power off. However, by the next day the phone would not power off again. I found the dirty port thing a little curious while telling this story to a work mate and seeing his iPhones charging port clogged with plenty of visible dirt, lint and who knows what else, yet his phone works flawlessly. My charging port looks perfectly clean.
