Power mac G4 hangs at startup with gray screen

Hello all,
I have a Power mac G4 - mirrored drive door model.  512mb of RAM; 833mghz - about 50+ gigabytes of storage remaining.
I recently starting using this mac again, here is what happened:
Power mac G4 was running 10.2.1 - had never been updated; it also was capable of running classic os9 (even though I never used it)
Started using machine again a few weeks ago; let "software update" install 10.2.8 update - everything worked fine
Put computer into target disk mode to transfer files to my new macbook pro (13") - using firewire connection
While trying to connect (migration assistant) - window froze will calculating the amount of space that the "user" on the power mac totalled - power mac appeared to be frozen
Did a hard reset / power down of the power mac G4
Upon restart, power mac G4 goes through all start up functions up to gray screen with apple logo (with spinning wheel) and then goes to a darker gray screen (without the logo) and spinning wheel
Dark gray screen with spinning wheel hangs indefinitely - I've let it stay there for hours on end hoping it will resolve but it doesn't
Here's what I have done so far:
Placed power mac G4 into target disk mode again in conjunction with macbook pro
I can see all the files on the power mac G4 (and have already copied them to the macbook pro) - so I don't think the hard drive is damaged
Disconnected all non-apple peripheral devices - only had a card installed in the back - but took that out - issue persisted (did not replace card in back)
Removed one non-apple RAM stick - issue persisted
Replaced non-apple RAM stick and removed apple RAM stick - issue persisted
Reset PRAM
Started computer in single-user mode
used fsck and tried to have system check/fix issue; no matter how many times I re-run the command to repair it never comes back with a message saying no issues found - instead it keeps returning with a message saying that the issue was repaired "system modified"
Started computer in verbose mode
startup seems to hang when this appears:
"/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOs/loginwindow: (ipc/send) invalid destination"
"LayState: cannot map display interlocks."
"/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOs/loginwindow: kCGErrorFailure: CGSNewConnection"
"Cannot connect to server"
"/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOs/loginwindow: kCGErrorInvalidConnection"
"Connection called with invalid connection"
Tried re-installing with system discs
The only discs I received with the power mac G4 when I purchased are orange and say "SSW version 8.6" on it" ("iMac Software Restore" and "iMac Software Install")
Computer does not respond when holding down "C" key at startup with either disc in the drive
When holding down "option" key at startup, the computer shows the bootable choices as ONLY the internal HD - not either of the CDs I mentioned above; I wonder if it no longer recognizes the original CDs because I updated to 10.2.8 from 10.2.1 before the issue?
I also have an install disc for OS X 10.4.7 - for a friend's iMac (G5)
When holding down "C" key at startup with the OS X 10.4.7 in the drive I get a kernel panic
When holding down "option" key at startup, the computer shows the bootable choices as the OS X 10.4.7 in the drive AND the internal HD
When I choose the OS X 10.4.7 in the drive I get a kernel panic
When I choose the internal HD the startup hangs at the gray screen I mentioned above
At this point, I don't know what else to do.  I believe the computer is still good because I can see everything on it when I put it into target disk mode; it just refuses to make it through the startup/login process.  I have read discussion threads that suggest re-installing the OS using another computer - but I don't know how to do that.  I also wondered if there was a way to tell the computer to re-install the software using the original CDs - but from the command line (in single-user mode)?
Someone - PLEASE HELP!

Sorry, SU Single User Mode, OF Open Firmware as these 2 where mentioned before.
As a test, let's try disconnecting the HD & see if it booys to any mode without it attached.
It could be the User's files or login messed up, if you want to try something a little more desperate...
Reset OS X Password Without an OS X CD...
http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/
It'll boot like a newly setup Mac, but all your stuff should still be there once filling out the stuff.
Except you could just use Target mode and move or rename that file.

  • Why won't my quick Silver power mac boot up?  Has a gray screen with white circle with slash thru it in the middle of screen!

    Gray Screen with white circle with slash thru?  Will not boot up!  What can I do?
    Please help!
    Noel

    The circle with slash means it cannot boot from the drive it thinks it's supposed to boot from.
    Hold the Option/alt key at bootup, what shows as boot choices?
    Will it boot from your OSX Install Disc?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.

    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Mac Mini hangs on boot with grey Screen. No response to Keyboard

    Hello,
    yesterday my Mac Mini (C2Duo, fifth generation unibody) startet to behave strangely. First thing was that it was not responding to the mouse(connected throught the keyboard)
    I replaced the mouse and everything seemed to be ok.
    I then did the latest update available on Mountain Lion and went home.
    When I came back this morning, the Mac Mini hang with grey screen. I restarted. Again grey screen.
    Chime comes. Then nothing.
    Tried everything from http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570 but nothing worked. The Mac Mini does not seem to be responding
    to any keyboard command to enter safe mode, select boot device etc. No firmware password has been set.
    Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated.
    Yours,
    Andreas

    Have you reset the SMC, then held down the mouse button while restarting to get the CD out?
    Reset SMC:
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • Power Mac g5 hangs on boot up when hot

    My Power Mac G5 hangs on boot up when hot, such as after I have been using it a while. It won't get through the boot up process and I have a blank (dark) screen- no picture. Sometimes the little Mac chime sound doesn't even complete, and it quits abruptly 1/2 way through the sound.
    Once the machine cools it does start... at least so far.
    Any thoughts?

    Any Extra Ram, Extra Peripherals, Aftermarket Video Card?
    Will it boot with a CD?
    When was the last time you checked the RAM in "About this Mac?"
    Can you monitor internal temps thru software ?
    Possible bad ram, bad power supply, bad video card.
    Try removing an extra add-on components and see if that helps.
    Also, I've found startup freezes can corrupt HD start-up files badly.
    Just had similar issue in my single processor, ancient 1.6 Gig G-5.
    Bad Radeon Card. Put the original back in and it works fine.
    Google "G-5 Power Supplies" and check out the information....known issue.
    Good Luck

  • Power mac g5 will not reboot with Startup discs. Has had hard drives replaced with PC ones

    I have an old G5 power mac tower. The hard dives were removed and replaced with PCs ones before I was given it. I do not know if they were formatted. I have the original boot up disc and I want to start again with this tower. The tower turns on but does not recognise the keyboard (which I know works) so I am unable to boot from the CD to have a fresh tower.
    Any ideas

    If the drive(s) is bad, it can prevent boot.
    Try removing the drives and then try and boot to the install disc (hold C).
    Of course, install isn't possible without a hard drive, but this is a test.

  • Mac Mini won't boot, distorted startup chime, gray screen

    Hi all --
    I've seen similar posts (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12170891&#12170891) but thought I'd start a new one, mainly because I haven't heard anyone mention the startup chime.
    I woke up my 2007 stock Mac Mini Friday morning and the cursor was frozen. Unplugged and replugged the mouse to no avail. Couldn't force quit, so I had to power down. Restarted with a badly distored startup chime (not "speaker breakup" from excessive volume, just distortion, and some "stuttering") and a gray screen that didn't go away. Restarted many, many times. Inserted Snow Leopard DVD to run Disc Utility but it wasn't recognized -- just a gray screen. Tried resetting the PMU and SMC with no results. Tried booting into single-user mode (with a wired USB keyboard) to eject the DVD, but no luck. Tried open firmware, but nothing. Once in an while I would get the Apple icon and a spinning progress bar that never went away.
    Took it to the Genius Bar, where they tried to boot from a Firewire drive, with no success. The best they could do was tell me my 17-month old Mac was out of warranty. That confirmed, I took it home, cracked it open and removed the Snow Leopard DVD (with a credit card) to insert the install disc it shipped with. That didn't work. A couple of times it looked like it would, but then after the spinning bar I got the multilingual system bomb message. Tried to run Hardware Test, but nothing. Put in original Disc 2... and that gave me a flashing folder! Progress! Forced the DVD out and slipped in Disc 1. That started to read, and then I got some kernel-panic looking text and a shutdown. My last attempt was to create a USB boot drive from the original install discs, but my old Sawtooth won't let me run the installer.
    Is there any hope at this point? I just bought the thing last May, so I've had it less than a year and a half. The distorted startup chime makes me think the logic board is fried and no amount of fooling with the startup drive will make a difference. The only thing out of the ordinary in this case was that it went to sleep last Thursday night with a DV camera hooked up via Firewire.
    I'm not thrilled about giving Apple any more money for another Mini, but I'm heavily invested in Logic Studio so I don't have much of a choice of platform.
    I'm pretty sure I'm doomed, but I thought I'd post anyway. A quick internet search shows I'm not the only one with the gray screen of death on a fairly new Mini. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

    Thanks.
    The Genius was able to get to the Apple logo and spinning... thing (what used to be the beachball). His theory was that as long as the Snow Leopard disc was in there, the boot process would never get to the Firewire port. Once I got home I literally pried the Snow Leopard disc out and put in the original install disc. But any progress whatsoever ends in the system bomb message.
    Thing is, I had tried to eject the disc by booting with the mouse button down. But on restarting, the laser in the optical mouse flashes quickly, once. I don't think the USB ports are going "live" at all... so I can't get into single user mode, safe mode, hardware test, anything. The Genius' keyboard was no help in that regard. So yeah, I suspect a hardware problem.
    A search of "gray screen of death" shows this happening to a lot of models.

  • Power Mac G4 Won't startup and ejects boot disk.

    Hello,
    Recently, I got a used Power Mac G4. On startup, it gets to the loading bar and doesn't load anything. It's just a blank white bar with no text aside from the apple logo at the top of the window. I tried inserting the Tiger recovery disk, but when I turn it on, it ejects the disk. I made sure that my keyboard and mouse were not plugged in as it was booting up (there are no other devices that may be causing it to eject), but it's still not solving the problem.
    What could possibly be causing this problem?
    Thanks,
    Nami

    It could easily be many things, Logic Board, RAM,Corrupted PRAM or NVRAM, even PSU or anything else, we just have don't have enough data out here to narrow it down yet.
    I don't suppose it boots into Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    EDIT: Sometimes even a flaky Optical Drive will prevent normal operation & needs to be disconnected.
    Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & if weak can cause really strange problems...

  • Power Mac G5 won't boot with Lion?

    After installing Lion, my early Intel 2010 Power Mac G5 won't boot. There were no problems for the first 2 days. The third day my G5 wouldn't boot at all. Not using Lion's recovery function, many attempts to boot from a previous system disk, and firewire target mode. The keyboard seems to be dead after attempting to boot except for the DVD eject key. All I get is a grey screen with an icon of a folder with a question mark within the folder. This icon blinks on and off continuously. Since the keyboard isn't working, I can't reset the PRAM, start in safe mode, or any other keyboard commands. The failed boot doesn't even get far enough for the Apple window to open. I replaced the hard drive and accomplished nothing except for spending even more money and time.
    This is VERY frustrating! Has anyone else had a similar problem with booting after Lion't installation??
    Thanks.

    1) you have a Mac pro Early 2009, remember this. It avoids confusion here in forum
    2) you're HDD's OS cannot be found by the firmware of the Mac hence it results to a question mark
    perform the following(recommended to use a USB keyboard)
    a) startup manager
    press and hold option on startup. Do u see your HDD?
    b) if you have a back up of your data then you can boot to the install disk and perform an erase and install
    repairing the permission will not work since the disc's OS is different from the HDD's OS.

  • Power Mac G4 won't startup from OS X install disc

    I have a Power Mac G4 that needs to have the Classic environment on it. I've done some checking and apparently this isn't possible with 10.4, so I'm trying to install an old version of teh OS. I have the Power Mac G4 OS X 10.2.1 install discs that came with the computer, as well as the Mac OS 9 Install disc.
    When I try to boot from the OS X install disc, nothing really happens. I've tried running the application on the disc taht automatically restarts the computer to the install disc. I've tried restarting while holding down the C key. I've tried selecting it as the startup disc in system preferences. I've tried holding down the option key when restarting, and it doesn't even list the install disc as an option.
    The only thing different that happens when I try any of these methods (except the option key, where nothing different happens at all) is when starting up, a small bluish-purplish folder with the "mac face" on it shows up for about 5 seconds, and then it continues on to start up normally in my current OS 10.4.9, just like it would when doing a normal restart.
    Oh yeah, and I've tried this with multiple copies of the OS X install discs that are specifically for G4s and the same thing happens, so I'm pretty sure it's not the CD.
    Can anyone help me in my quest to get a version of OS 9 running on my computer? Thanks in advance for the help!!!

    Hi, molfeselab -
    I've done some checking and apparently this isn't possible with 10.4...
    I have no idea where you might have got that info, but it is not correct. OSX 10.4 (Tiger) does indeed work with Classic. Classic needs to be OS 9.1 or later; OS's 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 have better compatibility in that role.
    I've tried this with multiple copies of the OS X install discs that are specifically for G4s...
    Your machine will not be able to use any original OSX Install CDs that are for a different model G4 - the original disks that ship with a machine are specific to that particular model.
    Since your G4 apparently came with a separate Software Install CD for OS 9, that is what you should use to get OS 9 onto the hard drive. Boot to that CD, then run the installer app - Mac OS Install.
    Depending what version is installed by that disk, you may want to update it to a later version of OS 9 via download updater. However, if your G4 originally came also with OSX install disks, then the separate OS 9 Install CD is at least OS 9.2.
    It would help to know the exact model G4 you have, including processor speed and number of processors.

  • Power Mac won't recognize startup disk.

    I am trying to use a Norton SystemWorks 3.0 original boot CD as my startup disk so I can run Norton recover file app.. I tried booting with the CD in the internal Superdrive by holding down the option key. The pick your startup volume window appeared but only the internal HD startup volume appeared. I also tried booting from the same Norton CD by using the Preference Startup Disk options. When I tried this, the Norton CD appeared, I selected it and confirmed that I wanted to change to the Norton CD as my startup disk. However, when the system rebooted it booted from the internal HD startup volume and not the Norton CD as selected. I finally tried to boot with the Norton CD in the Superdrive and holding down the "c" key. The system never booted. I got the mac folder and ? mark instead. This is my first Power Mac...can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? If I try the same Norton CD as a startup disk in an iMac using 10.4.3, it works ok. THANKS!

    Hi:
    Back again. I tried the OSX install disk and its startup disk menu option. However, since I had the install disk in the Superdrive I could swap it out to see if the Norton CD would be recognized. I was glad to find out that the Superdrive will recognize a startup or boot disk, i.e., OSX install disk. So, it's not the Superdrive. There's nothing wrong with my system...I just wanted to try to use Norton file recovery to retrieve some Mail messages I deleted by accident. I know there is a problem with Norton and 10.4.x. I'm looking at replacing it with either Tech Tools Pro, Drive Genius or just using Apple Disk Utility, Onyx and iPartition and iDefrag. If you think of anything esle, please let me know. Thanks for your time. I love my Dual...your're going to love the Quad! Cheers!

  • My Power Mac G5 hangs when my Ethernet internet connetion is active

    I'm having a very weird problem with my computer. When the Ethernet connection to my router is active the computer hang in very basic operations. for example like going back to the log in window, switching from one user to another and connecting to my share files in my windows base computer.Like i said it only happen when the Ethernet cable is connected to my router or Cable Modem and the internet connection is active. I know this because when the computer is not responding I have unplugged the cable off the router and the computer respond right away. The computer was working fine until I decided to move it from one part of the room to another and had to disconnect all the cables. I using a Linksys wireless-b broadband router for the network.
    This is the Setting for the connection:
    location = automatic
    using DHCP
    I got personal file sharing, window sharing and printer sharing on.
    Please somebody help me this is very annoying

    Click on the icon on the Finder's sidebar with the house icon and then open the folder Library inside, followed by Preferences and then rename the ByHost folder inside. If the issue persists, open the Terminal application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
    sudo mv /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/ByHost_old/
    This command will prompt you for your administrator password; nothing will appear on the screen while you are typing it. Files in the ByHost folders contain your computer's MAC address as part of the name, and are only consulted if your computer's MAC address matches the string in the name.

  • My Mac Book Pro starts up with gray bars and instructs me to restart the sy

    I started having problems with my Mac Book Pro last night. It crashed, and instructed me to restart the computer. I've tried the following with the install CD inside the CD ROM Drive:
    1) Restarted it with the OPTION key pressed down
    2) Restarted it with the C key pressed down
    3) Restarted it with the D key pressed down
    The extensive Hard Drive test did not detect any problems. I cannot boot from the main HD or the Install CD. I cannot enter safe mode.
    On a regular boot up the computer starts up with gray bars and the gray bars fill the screen, the spinning gear appears and more gray bars on the screen. The screen then turns black and then I get the restart message.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Like BSteely, I am curious as to how you ran hard drive tests if you can't boot from the Installer disc? Do you have another bootable hard drive attached?
    You might want to try pulling and reseating the RAM and hard drive along with performing an SMC reset. Disconnect any external USB and FireWire devices. You're getting kernel panics during startup which usually indicate a hardware issue.

  • Firefox 31 hangs on startup with no error messages

    Simply put, Firefox hangs right on startup. I see it loading the two generic tabs and then the wheel spins and then it says 'Not Responding' on the top of the window. I have to force close it each and every time, and I've also tried the following solutions in no particular order to alleviate the issue:
    1) Ran SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes last night for any possible infections. Reported back with nothing.
    2) Booted my laptop up in Safe Mode (with networking) and still couldn't get it to operate.
    3) Performed several clean uninstalls and re-installations which also included clearing out the profiles altogether and then trying to open it again, nothing.
    4) Booted up Firefox by holding down the shift key and resetted it to its default settings and then tried firing it up again. Nothing.
    5) Attempted booting up FF in Safe Mode with the shift key, nothing.
    6) Created a new profile and tried booting FF, nothing.
    7) Read this article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hyper-Threading about Hyper-Threading and followed the instructions which got it to operate, but I can't access the toolbar or the option menus. When I click on options Firefox closes with no error messages. I have a feeling this isn't the issue at hand but I figure I'd try it and at least I can get it to fully load and not hang.
    8) Deleted all Firefox extensions and Plug-ins, nothing.
    9) Enabled Firefox through firewall and antivirus settings, nothing.
    10) Updated my BIOS firmware as suggested in #7, nothing.
    I've done almost 10 different things and I still can't figure out why Firefox keeps hanging on startup. I've looked into Youtube videos for tutorials and others posted about the Java crashing that was happening in an earlier version of FF. Since its not crashing, I'm unable to look into the crash logs and pinpoint a crash number or anything because it just freezes and when I click to close it I get a message saying: 'Close program' or 'Wait for it to respond.'

  • Power Mac G4 (FW800) freezes often, with an occasional kernel panic

    I recently purchased a Power Mac G4 (FW800) on eBay for $160, minus a hard drive and stock video card, along with a hard drive cage.
    Since I opened the box it came in late Saturday night, the lovely machine has constantly stalled, crashed, and for a while, I received kernel panics left and right-in fact, I had one today, but it was the text version (unlike the visual kernel panic, which is the kernel panic seen in OS X 10.2+, and I have 10.4.11 running on this machine).
    Often, if I multitask, import music on iTunes, or do intense activity, it freezes.
    To solve the problem, I have done multiple memory tests, have performed disk checks (verified disk permissions and have verified the disk itself, and have done repairs on the disk), have swapped RAM for more stable ram (I was getting a RAM error for a while with some generic RAM).
    I would hate to sell the machine for parts, but if worse comes to worse, that may be the route I may go under. Is there anything I could do to avoid having to go that route? From the inside, all of the motherboard capacitors look fine, but I haven't checked the graphics card yet, but I doubt that's the culprit. I want to see if I could push my luck with Apple sending the AHT for the Power Mac, since I can't find any on eBay, but I'm working with a vintage Mac here, and this is New York, so my luck may be out.
    Interesting, I installed iStat, and it has been giving me misleading readings. It says my CPU is at over 1000ºC, when I know through Temperature Monitor that the CPU is around 100º-110ºF and rarely goes above 115ºF.
    There are some things I haven't tried yet:
    1) Buying actual 2.5v RAM. That may hopefully be the key.
    2) Removing the USB card I put in, along with my Broadcom-equipped Belkin Wi-Fi card I put in.
    3) Calling Apple and begging them to send me a copy of the AHT for the Power Mac, and with that, hopefully, a copy of the system software.
    Any suggestions? Comments? If need be, I'll post the system/crash logs for you hardware junkies.
    System stats:
    Power Mac G4 (FW800)
    1.0GHz PowerPC G4 on a 133MHz bus
    1GB PC2100 DDR SDRAM (originally had some PC3200 in the machine).
    120GB Seagate HD
    Stock Phillips CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo
    Pioneer DVD-111D (the nice DVD burner I cannibalized off my beautiful homebuilt Wine-doze PC)
    Belkin 54g 802.11g Wi-Fi card
    Masscool XWT-MTU25 USB 2.0 card
    So far, I have removed iStat, have gone ahead and pulled out the USB card. We'll keep fingers crossed.

    Did both, and I still freeze up when importing iTunes songs. I'll include some kernel panic logs for reference, for you techies.
