PLEASE HELP!!!!! PROBLEMS WITH Boot-Up

Okay I was using Safari and suddenly my whole system seemed to be freezing up I was forced to shut down improperly but then after that when it restarted and I tried logging in again was taking too much time and tried restarting again. Eventually, I decided to run Disk Utility from CD so I restart and hold down the C Key this is like 5th time I restart but by then also I had shutdown the power from my Mac once accidentally while it was still on. (i.e unplugging in a way) and then on startup where you see the Apple logo and white background now the spinning pinwheel no longer shows up I just get the Apple logo and it stays stuck on that screen.
I have a CD inside it the OS X CD that is and tried pressing C a few times to atcess Installer and load Disk Utility but nothing happens. What should I do?
I am able to eject the CD and put it back in and take it back out again but when I press the C key nothing seems to happen.
What can I do? Please help if you can. Going to Apple tech support is the last option on my list and will only go to them if there is no other way to get it fixed.

Not certain. That is somewhat of a relief but not entirely sure. All I know is that when I insert a Mac OS X CD (my Mac originally came with Jaguar 10.2 that is software on PowerBook CD I have) and press the C key the spinning cursor wheel does not even load, If I don't press it the cursor loads but just keeps spinning over and over and is stuck on the same screen.
Do I press the C key the instant it restarts even before the apple logo appears on the screen with white background or wait till cursor wheel? But by then its trying to load OS X from the hard drive. My Mac yesterday was shut down like 5 times improperly. I've had this problem before where I have to do an OS reinstall and pressed C key but those times seemed not to take as long. Maybe its just my imagination or I'm stressed that its not working again.
You mention when you press down the C key it takes several minutes for it to load the CD. I'll try again soon, and as a last resort will call Apple Tech Support. But posted here first to see if I was doing anything wrong.
I later upgraded to Panther and installed 10.3.9 that is how I ended up with Mac OS X Panther and I had Apple Security Update 2006-002 installed with latest version of iTunes and latest update to QuickTime 7 prior to 7.1.
How many minutes do you think I should wait when I press the C key? Should I press it and hold it down during restart the entire time? Thanks!

Please Help-Problem with Optical Drive, it's a Mystery...

Well I'm a fairly big Imogen Heap fan, and her new CD came out the 25th. So I went to Best Buy and I bought the deluxe version which includes a seperate disc with instrumentals. I got home, put it in, and my Mac made a "scratching" kind of noise, then it spit out the disc. I figured there was a problem with it, I went back to Best Buy, got a new one, and it did the exact same thing.
HOWEVER, both of the instrumental discs worked just fine, and imported just fine. The normal audio disc also works on my Ubuntu computer, Windows computer, and my other Early 2009 Macbook Pro. I also restarted my Mac, cleaned the disc, and that did nothing.
So, what's the problem do you think?
(Also I went to Apple but there were no appointments available, and they were too busy to just look at it without an appointment )

Hi Mate,
I didn't do an OS install, I took it to an apple store and made a Genius Bar appointemnt. Explained the proble and after 15min conversation, they diagnosed it as teh following;
The felt/rubber where you put the CD/DVD had gone hard and the friction is causing the CD/DVD to get stuck and be loaded. They tried to tell me that I need to replace the top case (£140+VAT) as its in-built into it or I can use a £3 spudger to push the CD's in......needles to say the Spudger works fine.....Shame I wasted £100 on the new optical drive ;o( Maybe sell teh spare on eBay....Happy days!

Please help - Problem with loading swf's (running very slowly)

Hi
I have posted this problem up in the last few days so I built a quick demo of my problem. Can somebody please download it and take a look at it and see what I'm doing wrong?
You can download it here at:

The external swf's when loaded.....run very very slow; sometimes unresponsive as if there is a script running in the background. I'm using keyboard commands to navigate through the screens - eg:
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndStop("scene02", "firstframeLabel");
Thank you for your help!!!!

Please Help: problems with 2nd internal SATA drive on G5

Hello everyone,
I was transferring and deleting very large files from my main drive, a 2nd 250GB SATA internal drive, and an external 250GB FW800 drive recently (about 50GB worth of data transfered), and decided to run disk warrior and repair my permissions/verify disk in disk utilities once completed.
Everything seemed fine until I verified my 2nd internal drive upon which I received the following error: "First Aid Failed" citing "Invalid node structure" and that the volume needs to be repaired. I attempted to Repair disk, though the process stops and I get the same error "Volume could not be repaired because of an error."
This 2nd SATA drive only holds data (I'm a musician so it only holds sample data for streaming in Logic) but it contains allot of information (185GB used of 233GB) which according to my math comes out to about 80% used. This should be acceptable amount, correct? The drive also has Journaling enabled, though I'm not sure if its relevant or not.
What should I do? The drive itself seems to be working fine, but why would disk utility have a problem reading/repairing it if its indeed fine. Should I be worried? The drive is probably no more than 2 years old, so it cant be drive failure yet, can it?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Update: I tried to graph the problem drive again in diskwarrior, and this time an error occurred! This obviously did not happen the first time I used diskwarrior to graph and build a new directory, so something must have happened recently. What could have happened? What should I do?

Yes, that's fine.
The drive also has Journaling enabled, though I'm not
sure if its relevant or not.
Hmm, I think I once had a drive with a directory problem that couldn't be fixed with DiskWarrior without journaling being (temporarily) disabled. After disabling journaling, I used DiskWarrior to Rebuild the drive's directory, then I reenabled journaling.
What should I do? The drive itself seems to be
working fine, but why would disk utility have a
problem reading/repairing it if its indeed fine.
Should I be worried? The drive is probably no more
than 2 years old, so it cant be drive failure yet,
can it?
I'm afraid it could be, I've had drives fail at any time between half a year after purchase up to 3 or more years after. Though often one hears the drive "die", or notices very slow performance due to bad blocks being weeded out, and the S.M.A.R.T. status - visible in Disk Utility (only for internal drives) in the bottom right, when you select a drive (not volume) is an indicator of a harddisk's health as well (though not the most complete, see this hint, or S.M.A.R.T. Guard).
Update: I tried to graph the problem drive again in
diskwarrior, and this time an error occurred! This
obviously did not happen the first time I used
diskwarrior to graph and build a new directory, so
something must have happened recently.
Did you try to repair anything with Disk Utility in the meantime?
What could
have happened? What should I do?
So did the Repair with DiskWarrior not finish? What kind of error was it?
In my experience, DiskWarrior mostly fixed any directory trouble. For more serious cases, see this thread.

PLEASE HELP - Problem with 2 column fixed template in Dreamweaver CS3

I am trying to create a website using the 2 column fixed, right sidebar, header and footer html template in Dreamweaver CS3. I tried putting a picture in the right side bar as well as with in the main content or left portion of the page, and neither picture is showing up when I view it in any of the browsers I'm using.
I've made some minor changes in colors and sizing, but other than that no other changes. The pic I put in for the header is showing up just fine though.
Any help or advice to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Here is the base Dreamweaver code including the pic references that I'm trying to show on either side - when the browser opens, it only shows a blank space where the pics should be... let me know what you think. Thanks!!

Please Help: Problems with erratic mouse

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and just recently started experience erratic behaviour from my magic mouse. I have read countless forums that document this issue - its a known thing. It honestly drove me insane to the point that I completely formatted my 27" iMac and got back up to 10.6.7 - after installing the magic mouse software again, the SAME behaviour happened. I tried changing the channels at which my airport extreme broadcasts my wireless signal throughout the house - no luck.
I even switched over to my wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse - and you wouldn't believe it, but I am also experience this subtle jerkiness with the mouse - the cursor will get laggy when dragging from side to side, or up and down - definitely noticeable since I have been using mac's for 6 years now. I am absolutely blown away by this sudden phenomenon and have no explanation for it. My desk surface is fine (since it worked for years before hand). Both lenses on the mice have been blown out by a dust blower, they are clean.
I am about to lose my mind. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago and it drives my completely nuts. Even my wired mouse does have a noticeable lag. I use a lot of Photoshop and jerkiness is very annoying and it slows me down.
Anybody has an idea why this is happening?

Please help, problems with two different ipods

Both my ipod and my sister's ipod are experiencing problems. Both ipod's are 4th gen with click wheel.
My ipod isn't being recognized by itunes (I have the latest version) and only once in awhile will my computer recognize my ipod. I get a file showing my calender, notes, etc,.. I can't click on any of them though. When I connect my ipod to the usb cord and connect the cord to the computer, the ipod only just restart's itself.
My sister's ipod does absolutely nothing except show the apple logo and then shut off. Earlier today it was displaying the exclamation mark and the folder icon and it once displayed the sad ipod icon.
Does anyone here know what the problem is with these two ipod's and if there is a way that I can fix them?

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

Please HELP / problem with Mac to PC migration

Good afternoon,
I have a 1TB WD mybook external HD to which I would like to copy large files like movies, music and pictures from my Mac and then connect it to my wife's PC and place it on her internal HD. With the HD being formated on my mac, I'm unable to migrate the files to her PC. I was wondering how to format the drive so that it would be able to read/write on both the Mac and PC. I have looked for answers on this discussion but I didn't find anything that applies directly to me.
Much thanks in advance for your help

PLEASE HELP-problem with downloaded files!

I have downloaded some games and stuff from the internet to my new iMac(Leopard10.5.1). I open the files, copy to applications, or install from the folder-and that should be it, right?? Unfortunately, this is not so! I have to go through this same process every time I want to use one of my downloads. I have to re-enter serial numbers and all that stuff EVERY TIME!!! Why is this happening? I don't understand...

No, it's the computer. The files are fine, the computer just doesn't seem to keep the info once I install. Never had this issue with any of my previous macs.

Please help, problems with iTunes

Alright, so earlier today my computer crashed. I restored it to its original factory settings and now it's okay. The only thing is that everything that I had on my computer before is erased, even my iTunes.
Before it crashed, I had iTunes 7, so when i got my computer started again, I downloaded iTunes 8 (the only one available) and I still have all the music on my iPod, but it won't let me sync my music from it onto iTunes.
Is there anything I can do?
Much help is appreciated!
Thank you!

Sure you always have options. If your content is purchased off the iTunes Store you can do the following:
1) iPod Connect to Computer
2) File -> Transfer Purchases
If you want all your content off your iPod that may not be purchased through the iTunes Store then you'll need to use a third-party program such as one of the following:
1) iPod Copy (www.ipodcopy.com OR www.ipod-copy.com)
2) Music Rescue
3) Senuti (Mac)
Those programs will transfer all the content off the iPod and back into your iTunes library.
