Our Power Mac G4 doesn't start up anymore since our iMac G5 is connected. Is there anyone who can help us? I've tried all the different methods and combinations, but so far without result, or: a bleu screen as a result.

Hallo,
Nieuw op dit forum toch gelijk al een brandende vraag: wij hebben na jarenlang 2 Power Macs G4 gedeeld te hebben nu een iMac G5 aangeschaft die we dus samen met de G4 willen delen. Nu krijgen we alleen de oude Mac niet meer opgestart. Verscheidene toetscombinaties geprobeerd maar niets werkt. Afwisselend krijgen we een blauw scherm met pijlen of een grijs scherm met een map met vraagteken. Iemand een idee wat we kunnen doen? Apple zelf ondersteunt niet meer apparatuur van 7 jaar en/of ouder. Mogelijk ligt het ook aan het netwerk of heb ik iets niet goed aangesloten. De iMac G5 draait ook onder 10.4.11.
Elke hulp is welkom!
Groeten en dank alvast.

Hello,
New to this forum as it has a burning question: after years we have 2 PowerMac G4 divide have now bought an iMac G5 so we want to share with the G4. Now we get only the old Mac does not boot. Several combinations tried but nothing works. Alternately, we get a bluescreen with arrows or a gray screen with a folder with question mark. Any ideas what we can do? Apple itself does not support more equipment from 7 years and / or older. It is also possible to the network or something, I have not connected. The iMac G5 also running 10.4.11.
Any help is welcome!
Regards and thanks already.

Try to double click the home button then upswipe the app closed. If that doesn't work a reset will. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Release both fingers. Wait 15-20 seconds until your iPad starts on it's own.

When I try to sign on to Mac App Store I get the message "Your device or computer cannot be verified" Yet I can sign on in iTunes no problem. I've tried all the suggestions from App Support but no luck.

When I try to sign on to Mac App Store I get the message "Your device or computer cannot be verified" Yet I can sign on in iTunes no problem. I've tried all the suggestions from App Support but no luck. What am I doing wrong?

What troubleshooting techniques have you tried? Have you restarted the app? Have you restarted your computer?
One idea is to Trash this file; Mac HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and restart.

I'm having this problem now with my 2 weeks old iPhone 6+. in the beginning everything going great and managed to connect every wifi around me. Then suddenly 1 week ago, All the wifi from my office, home, hotel and coffee house saying either incorrect password or can't join the wifi. But when i switch on my hotspot from my iPhone 5 it can be connect. i also try with my friend iPhone hotspot. So is it because of hardware problem or software problem. And i just restore my iPhone6+ and still can't connect to wifi and manage to join hotspot (also wifi right?) regret as all my downloaded stuff vanish and now can't download back using wifi.....
Thanks for assisting

Power Mac 7600 doesn't start from Mac OS 9.1 CD

I'm trying to boot from a Mac OS 9.1 CD on a Power Mac 7600 I'm trying to bring back to life
but it appears the blinking question mark. I've tried using the "C" command but it simply doesn't boot.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help

One of my favorite pre-G3 Macs! I have one that runs great.
---First, has anyone pulled/replaced/moved RAM modules? My experiences with several 7600's at work back in the 1990s was that the RAM needed to be matched in order in the slots and by size regardless of what the specs and several third-party tech reviews say.
There are eight RAM slots in two groups (of three and five slots) separated by an offset slot for a cache module You should see ID codes on the logic board by each slot: A1, A2, A3, A4; and B1, B2, B3, and B4. You want to load the slots in this order: A1, B1, A2, B2, etc, and match the module size so modules of the same size are paired. My 7600 has this pattern:
A1: 128MB        B1: 128MB
A2: 32MB          B2: 32MB
A3: 16MB          B3: 16MB
A4: 16MB          B3: 16MB
So, if modules don't match, match them and try again
Pairing RAM in this model gives a significant performance boost; the data path goes from 64-bit to 128-bit.
---Is the OS9 disk a full retail install disk or a gray one that came with a newer Mac? That could affect startup, Some disks for much newer Macs may not start a pre-G3 Mac.
---If the commuter has been off wall power for a long time the PRAM battery is likely deader than Yorick. That could affect startup from the hard drive but should not be at play when starting from a CD.
---Another issue that affects old computers that have been stored and moved around is loose cards. Make sure all card and modules are fully seated, especially the processor card.
Anyway, those are some things to consider. Keep us posted!

Help, Ayudame! Power Mac G4 doesn't start up

Guys, I have seen this posted several times for the notebook, but not for the desktop. I turned off my PowerMac G4, unplugged and went on vacation. Came back, plugged the G4 in and turned on via monitor. The startup light on the monitor lights up but the screen is dark, the tower makes no sound. If I press the startup button on the tower, same thing: light goes on but no sound and no display on screen. I have unplugged all other devices, I have plugged into different sockets, I have unattached and then attached the monitor, still no image on screen. Apple Care says it sounds like a hardware problem. Any suggestions on what I can do before I spend big bucks to fix this?

Hi, Outdated -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
I turned off my PowerMac G4, unplugged and went on vacation.
At that point the internal battery began to be used up - it is used whenever the Mac is unplugged. If the battery was already old, it may now be too weak or dead; many Macs have starting problems when that happens.
Try replacing the battery - you can get one for about US$15 at places like Radio Shack, cheaper on line.
If your G4 is an AGP or later model, try also resetting the PMU -

If it is a PCI model, try resetting the CUDA -

I got the MSCVR80.ddl message after I tried to do the latest update on Itunes. I went in and deleted all the related programs and reinstalled, but I keep getting a message during installation that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Help!

I was trying to do the latest update on my desktop for my Itunes. I got MSVCR80.dll is missing. I saw a post about deleting all the apple itunes programs, restarting and reinstalling. I tried that. As it was installing a message came up about "Service'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services. I did a retry, got the same message, then hit ignore. It went on. Then a message popped up saying "Itunes not installed correctly" Error 7 (Windows error 126)
Now my Itunes program will not open at all. What gives? This is very frustrating and I am not very computer literate to begin with.

Help!! My Power Mac G5 won't start up!!

I was working on my computer when all of a sudden everything froze. I tried all the key commands and no response. So, I held the start button until it shut down. Then when I tried to start it back up again after a few minutes, by pushing the start button, only the fan starts. No start up chime. Nothing on my screen. Then the fan starts getting louder and louder like it going to explode! I quickly held the start button again until it shut down. I read through the manual and tried everything it said and still the same thing. I read through alot of the questions and answers on this forum...found alot of similar questions, but no answers that I can use. I tried replacing the surge protector, but still nothing. My business & life is on this computer and stupid me, I didn't back up much! Help!!

Hi Jen:

"Disk Utility 10.5 Help
Testing and repairing your startup disk
If you have problems with your startup disk, you can use Disk Utility to test and repair it. To do so, you must start up from another disk, such as your Install Mac OS X disc.
Start up your computer using another disk.
To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc and restart your computer holding down the"C" Key OR (Option key and then select the Install Mac OS X disc and click the arrow).
Open Disk Utility.
In the Mac OS X Installer, choose Utilities > Open Disk Utility.
Select the startup disk you want to repair in the list of disks and volumes, then click First Aid.
Click the button to verify or repair the disk or disk permissions.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk at the bottom of the window. If it shows "Verified," the disk has nothing wrong at this time. If you see "About to Fail" in red letters, back up your files on the disk as soon as possible and replace the disk."

"Troubleshooting: My computer displays no video
If your computer won't display video, here's how to troubleshoot it. Please keep in mind that although your computer may display similar symptoms that prevent it from turning on, this article discusses what to do if the computer won't display video, meaning that when you press the power button:
You may hear a startup chime
You may hear fan or drive noise
You may see the power light on the computer light up
If your computer does not turn on, when you press the power button:
You won't hear a startup chime
You won't hear any fan or drive noise
The power indicator on the computer won't light up at all
If your computer is not responding at all, see the Troubleshooting: My computer won't turn on article instead.
If your computer won't display video but you can hear a startup chime, fans, drive noise, or you see the power light turn on, the first question is whether you have an external display attached (such as a Power Mac G4, Power Mac G5, Mac Pro or Mac mini) or if the display is built-in (such as an iMac, eMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, iBook or PowerBook).
For external displays
Try these steps to resolve the issue:
Make sure that the monitor is turned on and has power. Make sure that the display's power cord is plugged into a working wall outlet, and that it's properly connected to the power adapter. (To check if the wall socket is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.)
Check that all video cable connections to the computer video port and to the monitor are properly connected.
Examine the pins on the video cable connector to make sure they are not bent or damaged in any way.
Connect a known working display (if you have an extra one available). If you see video after doing so, replace your old display.
Reset the computer's parameter RAM. (Click the link for instructions.)
On a Mac mini, reset the computer's PMU. (Click the link for instructions.) For Power Macintosh G3, Power Mac G4, or Power Mac G5 computers, check your user guide for the location of the PMU reset button on the logic board.
Next we're going to check to see if the computer has video when started up from a disc:
Find the Install or Restore disc that came with the computer. Insert the Software Install and Restore disc into your CD/DVD drive. The disc may look something like the picture below.
Shut down your computer.
Once it's off, hold down the C key on the keyboard and start up your computer. This will start up the computer from the Software Install and Restore disc instead of your hard drive.
If you see video when started up from disc, you may have corrupted software. You can use the Archive and Install feature of the Mac OS X installer to reinstall. This kind of installation gives you a fresh version of Mac OS X, but you don't lose any data from the computer as your old information is all archived.
If you tried all of the steps above and the computer still won't display video, contact Apple technical support (1-800-APL-CARE in the U.S.) or take your computer to your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis.
For built-in displays
Try these steps to resolve the issue:
Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a working wall outlet, and that it's properly connected to the power adapter. (To check if the wall socket is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.)
Make sure that the power adapter is properly connected to the power port on the back of the computer.
Reset the computer's parameter RAM. (Click the link for instructions.)
On an iBook or PowerBook, reset the computer's PMU. (Click the link for instructions.)
Next we're going to check to see if the computer has video when started up from a disc:

My iMac (2009) froze while we were watching Netflix. I Turned it off manually then turned it back on and got the twirling beach ball of doom. I've tried all the various reboots suggested in the manual without success. Is there anything else to do?

I turned it off manual then restarted it only to get the beach ball of doom. I tried all the different reboots suggested in the manual without success. I'm not tech savvy so would appreciate very clear instructions if you have a suggestion that doesn't show up in Apple's as to how to get rid of the beach ball. Many thanks. Jude

Jude,
You can do a couple of things. The first thing I'd try is restarting in Safe Mode. To do that when you hear the startup tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar appear. Let it fully boot, while you're in Safe Mode open Disk Utility(Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) and Repair Disk Permissions. While you're in Disk Utility also run Repair Disk. After completing the 2 DU actions then restart normally to test the machine.

You have purchased CC, the order is still under transaction
The CC does not needs any serial number, it is based on Adobe ID.
