Powermac G5 "Please Restart Computer" PLEASE HELP!
I've searched on all the forums and I've tried all the fix's, but I still get the PLEASE RESTART COMPUTER error message.
I'm not sure if this is the problem, but here are the specs of the computer first:
Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz
2.5 Ghz Ram
700 Gig HD
Hawking HWL2A Wifi Locator (USB Wireless) <-- I think this is it, but not sure.
Things, I've done:
1. I've ran a memory test using Rember, and it was successful with no errors found.
2. I ran Disk Utility through the Install Disk and repaired / repaired permissions and no error was found.
3. My S.M.A.R.T drive is verified and working.
Still, I'm getting the PLEASE RESTART YOUR COMPUTER message.
Here is the panic log:

Much help would be appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to read this post!
Hey folks, I think I figured out the problem.
My USB Wireless: Hawking HWL2A was the culprit!
Since I've been using the USB, my error message would come up every 5 minutes from restarting my computer.
Now, I've disconnected the wireless and haven't used the USB for more than 30 minutes and I've been opening applications, playing chess, etc.. And NOT 1 error message has popped up.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what wireless card I can purchase for my Dual Powermac G5?
I've done some searching and found that the BELKIN 802.11g Wireless Desktop Network Card is compatible with the dual powermac g5. You think its better to go with this or a USB wireless?
Please let me know...
Thanks!

I am trying to install CS 5.5 on a newer computer and every time I go through setup the serial number comes back good (green check mark, etc.) but then when I proceed with install, I am told to "please restart computer." No error number just "please restart." After restarting 5 or 6 times I realized there must be a deeper issue. I first made a basic mistake (forgot to deactivate the serial#) so I went back on to the original device and, interestingly, when I re-installed InD CS5.5 on the old computer, there was no incident. It then proceeded to function normally and opened just fine, I deactivated the serial#, and went back to the new computer. After installing and trying again, I got the same message "please restart computer."
This was a license that allowed for multiple installs and I have put this program on a Win7 (pro) laptop before using the same serial number and had no issue. Now I am on an Asus Desktop running Win7 (home) and and am having this please restart problem. Could it be an OS issue? Any ideas of what to try?
Thank you all, I hope someone can help.
TommyI think you need to clean this machine before trying again, so run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), then run MSconfig and turn off all non-essential startup programs before you try to install again.
Also, be sure javascript is enabled. From the Start menu choose Run, then in the command field type regsvr32 jscript.dll and press Enter. You should get a confirmation. -

Ipod Classic restarts computer. Help!
I have an 80gb Classic bought last August which has been working fine until today! I plugged it in the USB, the screen goes blank and it restarts the computer in a continuous loop. I tried it in 3 different USB ports and it does exactly the same thing in each.
I turned off the auto restart and I get the following error message when I switch it on:
*Stop: 0x000000FC (0xBA5078E8, 0x0AZF6963, 0xBA507848, 0x00000001)
I'm not a computer expert by any means and have no idea what to do next to try and solve this.
My ipod has itunes 8:2 on it. I've tried to update the drivers on each USB but the computer says that there is no update for them and that they are already up to date.Hi chaps,
you may add myself to your problem report list too.
After having installed iTunes 8 thru the update process called up from Vers 7 my iPod classic 80G is crashing the Vista computer. Blue screen indicates "usbappl....sys" to be the issue and after Vista recovery the problem report includes the info
BCCode: 1000007e
BCP1: C 00 00 00 5
BCP2: 8D7DC515
BCP3: 8895B688
BCP4: 8895B384
OS Version: 606001
Service Pack 1_0
The crash happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or shut down. The ipod classic 80G works on another machine under XP and using iTunes 7.xxx
I hope that Apple can very soon offer an update to iTunes.

Very strange it appears that I am now on FF (I thought I was on Netscape) but it took 10 minutes + to get FF to open. Up until then I could not get it to open even after multiple tries. Looked at Tasks running and FF did not show even after multiple attempts at trying to open it. This started just this am after I downloaded the new version of FF.

i have close firefox and tried to log on again i get a box saying firefox is already running, i must close this session before i can log on again confused i don't see the program running in the task manager confused again says i must restart computer in order to log on again. i close firefox by accident seems like this could be resolved easier. vs. restarting computer confused help shows something like firefox exe. confused
Try to run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
If that doesn't solve the problem then remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean reinstall.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -
How to invoke the shutdown event tracker when running restart-computer
In Windows command shell, it is possible to run shutdown /d to specify a reason code and /c to enter a comment into the shutdown event tracker to log why a shutdown was being performed.
I'm not seeing an equivalent parameter for the restart-computer cmdlet in PowerShell. Is it possible to invoke the shutdown event tracker when running restart-computer?help restart-computer
says no. There's nothing wrong with using native commands, in a number of cases they are better than what PS provides.
I hope this post has helped! -

I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -

Did you purchase your MacBook Air new? Do you still have its box? Locate its serial number and telephone Apple at the number shown at the bottom of this page (1-800-MY-APPLE if you're in the U.S.). They can help you.

Currently running Mozilla 3.6.8 and have been unable to install any updated versions. Getting error message 'need to restart computer to install an earlier version'. Restart, shut down does nothing for the issue. Now all the way up to 4.0.(4) and getting the same error message. Down load works fine, then will not install. Tried shut down of firewall and no go.

If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.
As you have discovered, be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.

If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.11 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
If Leopard 10.5.x is installed, use the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update.

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks. Just completed another restore. iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready. That was 30 minutes ago. iPad still won't start. I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore. What a crap product.
Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo. -
System Recovery didn't finish and now I can't log into my computer. Help please...
My touchscreen was not working so I tried different steps to fix it and still nothing. So I did a System Recovery and still nothing..So then I did a System Restore to completly wipe everything out back to factory settings...and after I did it I tried to turn my computer on and it won't even go to login with my password it just says Windows did not install properly please restart and install again. I tried phoning Hp support but my warranty is up and I can't pay the 109.00 dollars for a year's worth of phone support and the tech guy nows exactly how to fix it but he couldn't help me can you believe that @#$*...So basically my comp does not work at all...if anybody can help I would so appreciate it...thank you...
SInce you already did it, make sure you have nothing but the keyboard/mouse dongle plugged in and do NOT connect to the internet via wired or wireless and redo a full System Recovery, that should resolve this since something died midway in the last recovery.
