That means the computer cannot find the operating system. Either the hard drive has a physical problem or is corrupted. Do you have the computer's original system CDs or DVDs? You may need them to get through this.
Notebook computer drives are not as robust as the larger drives used in desktop computers. If your G4 can run OS9, it's pretty old, and the drive may have simply worn out.

Apple has a site for new users. Use it. Also, David Pogue is an excellent tech writer who has penned a series called the Missing Manual. I assume you've come to the Mac from the Windows world and he's written one especially for switchers. I've linked to the version for Mavericks (10.9) but if you have an earlier version of the Mac OS he's written a similar book for them as well.

I have an older ibook, safari keeps crashing when I try to navigate beyond my home page. New to mac please help

I am new to mac and was given an ibook. When using safari it will crash every time I attempt to navigate beyond my homepage, I have done all system update and I am not sure what I need to do. Any ideas, tips, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you

This iBook has Mac OS X 10.3.9? In the Menu Bar for Safari, under Safari, look for an item that says something like "Reset Safari." You can try resetting Safari, including emptying its cache.
If that does not help, since this Mac is new to you and probably came with the software already installed (and previously used by someone else), you may want to create a new user account for yourself. Under the Apple Menu, select System Preferences. Go to the Accounts pane. Create a new user account that is Administrator. Make sure it is an Admin account.
From the Apple Menu, log out and log in to the new user account. In the new user account, it should feel like using a new Mac, with most settings set to default. Try using Safari, to see if the problem still occurs. Actually, you may want to create a new admin user account, even if the Safari problem is resolved; it's the next best thing to doing a complete clean re-install to get a fresh start. You can eventually get rid of the old user account.
FYI, that version of Safari that comes with 10.3 is pretty old. The current version of Safari (or any recent version of Safari) will not run on 10.3. You may want to download the latest Mac OS X 10.3.9 compatible version of more recent web browsers, such as Camino, FireFox, Opera, or iCab.

Hey new to Macs need help getting one(s) running again...

Hey all,
So I acquired some old Macs from a local schools surplus sale. I have managed to get one operational (a G3 tower) but am now trying to get a MacBook running and have had a few issues. I have gotten it to the flashing folder screen but have been unable to get it to boot from the HDD. The HDD drive works I have installed OSX 10.3 on the drive via firewire but it seems that the Mac wont recognize that the drive is there. When I get into the Startup Manager screen nothing shows up except the mouse (which I can move around). The MacBook is an a1181 with 1GB of Ram installed. Being new to Macs I have no clue on how to continue. I know Macs do not have a BIOS but is there something similar that can be accessed? What about Firmware updating? I would prefer not to have to take it (and others) to the local Apple store. Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same MacBook (a1181) and had the same problem. My solution was to simply re-install snow leopard. Just buy a snow leopard CD from the apple store. Don't buy a mountian lion CD because it is not compatible with your MacBook. One you have the SL CD, insert it into the optical drive (CD drive) and boot the computer. When you hear the chime, press and hold down "C" on the keyboard and it should boot. If this fails, reboot and brews and hold option/alt when you hearths chime, then select the CD as it appears. Then simply install snow leopard, and enjoy your Mac! Hope this helps, and I will be happy to help with any problems or questions :)

New to MAC NEED HELP

Hey guys, thanks for reading....I woke up this morning and my itunes library was gone. Also, I know in a windows os, when you have anything stored on a seperate drive, a media player only plays those tracks. My itunes wants to copy everything to the os hard drive and there isn't enough room to do so? Can I configure itunes to just play the library and not try to copy everything to the OS hard drive? Also, how do I uninstall applications to clear up space? Any help will be greatly appreciated, again, I am totally new to mac OS.... Running OS X Tiger 10.4

Hi Solomon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
In iTunes>Preferences>Advanced tab you can set the iTunes folder location to an external or other location.
Also, how do I uninstall applications to clear up space?
Applications really won't clear up enough space, DVDs & Movies & such are the big users... my Applications & Utilities folders, (400+ APP & Utils), takes up lees than 4 DVDs.
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?

LaCie (new to Mac please help!)

Good Day to you all!
I am new to Mac, have always been a PC user and now I use Mac at work, I am confused with some things and I accidentally ejected the LaCie Drive from my desktop thinking I was ejecting a CD Rom. How do I get it back?
How do I eject my CD rom?
Thank you in advance for all your help.

I am confused with some things and I accidentally ejected the LaCie Drive from my desktop thinking I was ejecting a CD Rom. How do I get it back?
Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to mount it.
How do I eject my CD rom?
If there's a CD or DVD in the drive, press the eject logo for it in the Finder's sidebar. If not, press the Eject key on the keyboard, or if there isn't one, from the menu bar or by pressing F12 until it ejects.

I want to make 4x6 study notecard/flashcards, how do I change the page size to fit the cards I need, I want them to print on a standard size paper, but keep the text in a 4x6 margin, new to mac please help!!

The Idea is to set my paper size and page layout to a pre-screened 4x6 layout, which I can add and insert txt/pictures, when I need to print, I should be able to fit 2 per page, if not that's okay, but when I print them I will cut off the excess paper and glue the rest to a notecard, any ideas, NEW TO MAC PAgES

Star with:
Menu > File > New from Template Chooser > Sidebar > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas
If you need to have two cards on one page then just set up one using text boxes and images to the 4 x 6 (inches?), group them and option shift drag a second copy down the page so you then have 2 and alter the copy as you need.
Change the text and images to placeholders, capture those as a Layout and then save that as a template.

1. To make the individual card follow the instructions for Labels & Business cards but use your size:
2. To make the placeholders see Double folded Greeting Card.
3. To make the template follow Letterhead and follower sets ignoring the irrelevant bits, and only capturing one page, before saving as a template.

IChat (new to Mac) please help.

Hi, I have what probably is a simple question and I am just missing something. I am new to Mac so I am still figuring things out (got it about an hour ago). I would like to use iChat but I can't figure out how to do that? Do I have to download it? IS it already installed? Where can I get it? etc. I think once I know that I can figure out the rest.
Thanks!

I have two questions *NEW TO MAC PLEASE HELP*

Hi I've been a windows user basically my whole life and am now entering the new realm of mac. For now I have two basic questions:
(1) I want to select certain files and delete them, but I dont want to select all of them, and I dont want to select one by one. With windows to do that I simply click and press shift on the first and last file that I want, and everything in between. I have no idea of how to do that on Mac and I really need to.
(2) I am a spanish speaker and on windows whenever I need to use the letter ñ I simply go Alt+164. Is there a way to use this letter in mac by just using keystrokes??
If anybody could help me out on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Low FPS on new, beefy Mac Pro, help!

I just got a new Mac Pro, and as an afterthought I picked up an x1900 upgrade kit. the original system had 2 7300 cards, and they were in slots 1 and 4. I got the upgrade kit and plugged it into slot 2. The 7300s are still in there, but not connected to displays. I connected my 30" monitor and loaded up World of Warcraft.
Now, this is a beefy machine, 2 quad core 3 GHz CPUs, 8G RAM, and less than two weeks old, and I'm seeing really really low performance, graphically. In WoW, based on http://www.barefeats.com/octopro2.html, as well as consultation with a friend who has a similar system (x1900, 2.6GHz CPUs, ?G RAM), I would expect north of 100 FPS in WoW with the settings pegged, but I'm seeing more like 25-30, even at low settings (FSGE off, low resolution, 1x multisampling, for those who know the game). What's sad is that my MacBook Pro laptop, driving the _same monitor_ on an 8600 GT graphics card, can outperform the Mac Pro. So I assume I'm doing something wrong.
Anybody know what might be causing poor performance here? It's a brand new x1900, and I'm not seeing graphical artifacts, just low performance, so I assume it's not a cooling issue. Could it matter that I still have the empty 7300s hooked up, or that the x1900 isn't in slot 1? Any other thoughts about what might be wrong? I'm desperate, so any help appreciated.

Very interesting. So, I'm a Mac Neophyte -- can you (or someone else) expand this for me a little? What is going wrong, and what are the steps I need to take to fix it? In particular, it seems you are suggesting that I fire up this Expansion Slot Utility and change some settings that will correct this problem.
A) Is that in fact what you mean?
B) Which settings, and to what values?
C) I wasn't expecting the 7300s to help, I just mentioned them in case their existence or positioning might be hurting. Does your final paragraph mean that I should move my x1900 to slot 1 to take advantage of the 16x (I dont' know what that number means, incidentally, but I assume bigger is better), or simply that I need to change the setting on the x1900's slot to also be 16x?
Thanks!

MacBook Pro keeps crashing...I'm new to Mac please help?!?!

On several occassions everything I had saved on my MacBook stopped working. All the icons I had once placed on my dock disappeared and my settings were changed. Some of the programs I had previously downloaded were no longer available and I lost all the information that was on it. In addition, my Idisk was removed from my desktop, the songs on my Itunes lost, and I wasn't able to even download all of the songs from Itunes (my friend downloaded the same album on his Mac and all songs downloaded). Now I tried to download AOL and it says "no mountable file system" and it works perfectly on my friends MacBook.
I've had this computer for 3 months...so I have NO IDEA what this means or what to do?! Can someon please help me? I use my computer for school and now I'm scared of using it because I might lose all my work.
To top it off (Word, Excel, and Powerpoint decide to operate and show me my documents whenever they want. I lost a midterm and had to redo the paper )

Thanks

Hello Candy:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
A Mac running OS X needs no "cleaning." For example, OS X "defrags" files of less than 20 MB on the fly. Routine cache cleaning, etc, is done in the background as long as your computer is either on or sleeping. Let your Macbook Pro sleep so that the background tasks will run once you wake it up.
_DO NOT_ trash system files or indiscriminately clear cache files (that will make the Mac run slower).
At the risk of being pedantic, do not worry about maintenance tasks for a Mac running OS X.
