Power PC G5

What is the problem? When I am on my mac after a while screen will go blank , and the on light will start to blink so I move my mouse and clink the mouse also to try to get my screen back on but it doesn't respond? Sometimes I have to turn it off and back on again, but sometimes it works and comes back on but then it does the same thing? This also happens when I am burning a CD?

Does the system come back if you press the space bar on the keyboard?
Does it seem to happen after say, one minute of inactivity?
With the blinking power light, it sounds like the computer is going into sleep mode. Open up Energy Saver in System Preferences and Check to see if the computer has been set to sleep after 1 minute for example.
If this is the case, it is possible that someone played a trick on you but that is merely a guess given the proximity to April 1st.

  • Bit locker drive encryption failed due to power failer and hard disk corrupted

    I ran Bitlocker drive ecryption drive D. My pc is windows 7 ultimate, while it was in progress of 1% due to power failer the encryption failed, when power resume the drive didn't showed the file format nor the size but it shows the size in disk management.
    It showed like this in My computer
    I do Have the recovery code password and back of recovery password so I ran the "manage-bde-_unlock D:-rp[my code ]
    and my pc got hang  no other option rather than to press the restart button. 
    then I used commang "repair-bde -force D:I:-rp[my rp] and following info showed but it stucked in 1% about 8 hours, and there was no increase in the pecentage
    I also connected the hardisk to mac but all othe partation showed but didn't showed the encrypted one.
    I had lots of memorable picture and other backups so any one kindly help me to get out of this problem. Thanks for help

    Hi,
    The BitLocker encryption and decryption processes can be interrupted by turning the computer off, and it will resume where it left off the next time Windows starts. This is true even if the power is suddenly unavailable.
    Bitlocker-repair (repair-bde)  tool
    can't repair a drive that failed during the encryption or decryption process.
    In addition, could you please explain a bit for what drive you are trying to deal with? external one?
    When you first restart your PC, have you seen any signs that indicate that the encryption is in process?
    Regarding your scenario, please take a look to see if the following articles could help here:
    Scenario 11: Recovering Data Protected by BitLocker Drive Encryption (Windows 7)
    Besides, when running manage-bde command, did we followed the steps mentioned in the below article?

    Hi,

    I have an External Hard Disk i have partitioned it to 4 parts.
    One drive is now inaccessible due to sudden power failure while listening Music from that drive few days ago.

    I tried all the procedures provided here like
    chkdsk /f, diskpart, rescan etc
    but no result :( (i mean all processes failed. They could not detect the drive).
    Please help me to get those data, pictures and project files.

  • Installation problem on Power PC G3, 450MHz OS 9.2 trying to install OS10.4

    When I try to install, I get the dialog box: Mac OSX cannot be installed on this computer. Please consult the documentation for the list of supported computers. From what I can tell, I should be able to install on this computer; it appears on the list. In the System's Profile it says: FireWire 2.8.6: no device on this bus. Is that the problem? Can I do something to update the computer so it will accept the OSX? If I have to do a clean install, could someone please tell me how to do it?
    Thank you in advance.
    iMac Power PC G3 450MHz   Mac OS 9.2.x   trying to update daughter's computer

    Thanks for the info. It looks like that is the answer to the problem but it'll be a while before I can do the Firmware update I think. The computer I'm trying to update isn't on line yet (it's been moved from one room that was wired to one that isn't, so now I have to get an Airport card and adaptor for it - which is obsolete, I've got to check out eBay for it. It just keeps getting more fun! Kind of like "If you give a mouse a cookie..." Although, I suppose I could download it on the the main computer and then burn it to a disc and then install it on the other iMac. New question: will that work?
    At this point, it appears your answer is helpful and will solve the problem. Thanks!

  • Mid 2010 no USB Mouse or keyboard power? HELP!!

    I bought a mid 2010 Mac Pro 2.8ghz Nahalem from the apple store over 1 month ago. After two weeks I had a five minute issue where after I rebooted, the mouse & keyboard would not respond. One quick reboot, the mouse and keyboard had power. Now I have a TV show I have to get to the station for tomorrow and I"m having this issue again and I've rebooted five times with no luck. I"m desperate here and I need to get this working. I did buy some new RAM from the Apple store, 4GB DDR3 PC3 240 pin 512MX72-8500 ECC. I put it in with the other three 1 gig sticks for 7gigs of RAM. Rebooted, no keyboard or mouse power. shut down, re-arranged the sticks in various configurations and even went back to just the three 1 gig sticks and again, the computer will boot up, get to the login window, but no power to the keyboard or my wireless mouse or should I say not responding and no caps lock light at all. Can I not have this RAM configuration and it blew something out? The bluetooth mouse battery was changed and I checked my keyboard which has a wired connection. It is fine. I even moved it to other USB slots. No go. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a PMU reset switch on these new mac models? I've been editing forever on a dual 1.6gh PowerMac with no problems. Rock solid. Now I'm on this Nahalem and this no keyboard or wireless mouse communication is killing me with this deadline. I NEED HELP!!!

    After installing Windows 7 did you also install the Chipset Driver, Intel ME Driver, Keyboard and Mouse Driver and the USB 3 Driver?  If you didn't then that would account for the various hardware items not being recognized.  Always install the Intel Drivers first and then the rest.
    The link below is for the available drivers from Lenovo for your model. Just select your operating system in the top box for the correct driver listing.......

  • I had an Intel-iMac fried by lightening. UPS, surge protectors but it happened as I was reaching to unplug.  Cold now.  Could it just be the power supply?  Can I replace that myself?

    This is the full question since I couldn't get it all in the box. 
    I have some complex questions regarding an iMac, a Time-Machine backup, and iTunes on an iPod.
    I live about halfway up an extinct volcano about 12 miles north of San Jose Costa Rica.  Some months ago, we had a thunderstorm and as I reached to unplug my computers lightening struck about 50 meters from my house.  I had an iMac with a 3-Tb external backup drive, a PC laptop and a laser printer on the same power strip.  There was a definite surge and the light brighten and then power was lost for a few minutes.
    When power was restored, the PC and the laser printer seemed to work fine but the iMac was cold.
    First questions:  Is is possible that the power supply was fried and not other essential parts?  Would it be worthwhile to replace the power supply?  Can I, with limited experience and tools do it or need I take it to a technician?  My concern is that if the hard-drive is good, there is personal information on it that I don't want to risk.
    Next question:  Do I need to replace the hard-drive before taking it for service?  How hard is that, can I do it? I have seen videos of the drive replacement on-line.
    Those are my iMac questions, now the questions about backup restoration.
    If there is a saving grace with this it is that the Time-Machine backup seems fine although I have only accessed the data through Finder.  I replaced the iMac with a Macbook Air with significantly less mass storage and I can't just move files to the Macbook.  My problem is that I have an iTunes library of some 10,000 songs on the backup and until recently on a 160 Gb iPod which was old and it crashed.  I have replaced the iPod but have not tried to restore the iTunes library to it because of my confusion about how to do that.  Can anyone tell me how I might do that or give me any insight into the process?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Quite possible, but working on iMacs is not easy, & PSU might be prohibitive.
    Hopefully the Drive might have info on it, but even pulling that out can be a chore.

  • Power view in SharePoint - Changing the default save location?

    Is it possible to change the default location when saving Power view back into SharePoint?
    Our users are creating their own power view reports by clicking a power view shared data source in SharePoint document library.
    When saving their reports, the default location is always the same location where the data source is. This is described here also:
    https://support.office.microsoft.com/en-us/article/Power-View-in-SharePoint-Server-Create-save-and-print-reports-f616575e-02bf-46cd-b94a-b744245ef9d1?CorrelationId=a852221e-b063-4020-a20a-53d8e8fb8b8b&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
    Quote from the link: "The first time you save the
    report, the default location will be the folder where the model is located."
    Ok, understood. But is it possible to change this???

    Hi again
    Ouch! Not the network!
    One of the hard learned issues that folks are unaware of until they encounter problems is that Captivate does not do well when a project is stored on a network. It's fine to keep projects there in order to back them up or as a transfer pivot location to allow others to edit, but you never want to open Captivate, click File > Open and browse to a network location to open a project for editing.
    Best practice at this point is to keep projects on your local C drive when you make edits.
    Cheers... Rick

    Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library  it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

    Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down.  You'll get 3 options.
    Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.

  • My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

    My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

    No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac  or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

  • HT1384 My lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch is broken, and I need some assistance.

    As the title suggests, I can not use the lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch, it is broken. I can use Adaptive Touch to turn the screen on and off at will, and also turn my device off. But if I turn it off, I don't know how to get it to turn back on. Could I just plug it into a charger and turn it back on, or would I need to plug it into my computer? Please help, in a few days I won't have access to it for 9 weeks, I need immediate help.

    If you power off the iPod, it will turn back on if you connect it to a charger like a wall charger or a computer. I just checked with a charging source to confirm. I knew it did it with a computer.

  • Error message (Because a USB device was drawing too much power)

    Hi Everyone,
    Bought recently a new macbook pro 13 inch with Retina display with 120 GB flash drive.
    Connected a non-apple CD drive to my macbook and after that started receiving this message: "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."
    initially I was receiving this message after I switch on my macbook but now after every 30 seconds this message pops up although I never connected anything to my macbook through its USB ports.
    Will highly appreciate for your help on how to get rid of this problem.
    Regards
    Homayun

    Try resetting the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • 1st Gen iMac G5 - no power warranty ?

    I have a first generation iMac G5, and my serial number falls into the ranges cover by the iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues.
    My issue is that I've already had my global logic board replaced under this warranty, and now my iMac is not functioning again. I've already tried the SMU reset button, and I also followed the directions found in the help article "iMac G5: Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on", and my out come was:12. Press the internal power button to start up the computer. Does LED 2 come on momentarily, or not at all?* Momentarily: The logic board has detected power, but the power supply cannot maintain it. Your power supply needs to be replaced. If you have an iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor) computer, you can order a replacement power supply here and then install it yourself. If you have any other iMac G5 computer, contact your local Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.
    * Not at all: Your logic board needs to be replaced. Please contact your local Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.
    I suppose my primary concern is if my iMac is still covered, or am I going to have to pay for this repair? The iMac is only 2 years from purchase date, so it does still fall under warranty time-wise. I'm more worried about the previous board replacement voiding my eligibility.
    17 1.8Ghz iMac: 1.5GB RAM, 80Gb HD, Bluetooth   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Black 60GB 5G iPod

    Per Apple Extention Repair program:
    "the repair will be covered by Apple for up to three years from the original date of purchase even if your iMac G5 is out of warranty."
