Progress bar loads very slowley, reaches the end then nothing..

Hi, I have a G5 tower, on start up the progress bar loads very slowley and when it gets to the end it just stays that way, constantly 'progressing' nowhere.
I've left it for about 10 mins to see if it eventually starts up properly but no luck. I tried all the usually key combinations to help and also have started up in Safe Mode but im unable to type anything in as the curser is frozen.
Any else experienced anything like this?
From what i can tell the only other options I have are to try reinstalling the OS X from Disk (I dont have the OSX install disks as I bought it second hand from a local BBC office.)
Or take it to my local Mac store to let them have a go at fixing it.
Any advice or similar experience storys are very welcome.
Cheers,
Nick

Well, you posted in the Intel MacPro usage forum. Futher new posts should be made in the G5 Usage forum.
I help in both so we'll give it a shot. Since you don't have the disks try using fsck using these tips. I know you tried Safe Mode but perhaps fsck can repair more. The Repair Disk function in Disk Utility would work better, but it's only on the disks.
Have you ever replaced the PRAM battery?

I have downloaded itunes 5 times and it just won't open...a green progress bar pops up then closes before the green gets to the end, then nothing!

General installation troubleshooting
1. Empty your Temp directory and restart
Windows XP:
Windows Vista and Windows 7:
Choose Start > Computer
In Computer, open the "C:" drive.
Open the Users folder.
Open the folder titled with your username.
Open the AppData folder.Note: If you don't see the AppData folder, you may need to tell Windows to show hidden files and folders as shown below.
Double-click the Local folder to open it.
Right-click on the Temp folder and choose Delete.
In the confirmation dialog that appears click Yes.
If you are unable to delete the Temp folder, close all programs, especially those in the Notification area ("System Tray") of the Windows Taskbar and repeat steps 7 and 8.
Note: If you are still unable to delete the Temp folder, open the Temp folder and delete as many of the items inside this folder as you can.
Restart your computer.

When i turn my mac on i get the white screen and a progress bar that when finished shuts the computer down

i recently came back from holiday and tried to start up my laptop (that stayed at home, just shutdown but plugged in). when i turned it on, i got the apple white screen, a timer wheel and a progress bar that when it reached the end of the bar, it just shut the computer down again. i cannot get past this screen and the mac will not turn on. does anybody know how i can fix this please?

Your hard drive is dead and you'll need a new one. If you're the least bit handy, you can replace the drive yourself. You need to decide what capacity and speed you want out of a new drive.
I'm hoping that you had backup schemes in place? If not, there's a chance that, with a tool such as DiskWarrior, you MIGHT be able to grab some data from your dead/dying drive.

HT1455 iMac shuts down itself in the middle of Safe Boot progress bar loading

Hi, Im using a late 2009 iMac 21.5'' on Mountain Lion. (Originally Snow Leopard I THINK)
I got the dreaded grey screen one day and after I did more reseach i tried using the Safe Boot way.
Now Ive encountered a new problem, everytime I turn on my mac, it shows the Apple logo and the Safe Boot progress bar.
Not even reaching halfway through the bar, it just shuts down itself, every single time.. please help?
Btw, I',m using a wireless keyboard, I had to go around borrowing a windows keyboard from my friends, I dont know if anyone can shade some light if i can use wireless to do the keyboard pressing thing when it starts up?
I've also tried inserting my original OS installation disc and press C..it just shows a grey screen, then the disc got ejected, then the Apple logo with the progress bar and then shuts down itself.
Please help, I just need to go into my system one more time and backup my important datas before i go for the 1TB Seagate Replacement Program.
Thank you so much, appreciate it!

Is that similar with this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1553 on 'Instruction for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk utility' ?
No, that copies the entire drive IF it's entirely readable which you don't need, you only REALLY need is your files as everything else (OSX and programs) can be replaced)
Ds store: I read your article on creating a data recovery.
This is designed to install OS X onto a external drive, boot from it and then:
1: Attempt data recovery via normal drag and drop methods on your Users folders.
2: If the above fails, to see if the internal drive is working via Disk Utility, and/or use Data Rescue software ($100) to attempt recovery of the files themselves, bypassing the file structure and whatever is causing the problem.
3: Build your extenral boot drive of everything the way you need it, then Carbon Copy Cloner the external onto the internal drive (new or erased whatever the case may be)
May I ask you why not port powered?
Mac's have been shutting off ports that are drawing too much current, like what port powered hard drives do.
Am planning to get myself a 3TB external HDD 3,5" for all my backups in time for my AASP journey
Too large for a boot drive, you basically want a external boot drive equal too or slightly larger than the boot drive your recovering from, because later you can use it as a bootable clone backup of the entire boot drive and store it for emergencies.
These large drives like 1TB and 3TB are sometimes problematic (especially with 10.6) when formatting. Also I advise all boot drives be Zero erased before OS X is installed or cloned onto it to reduce bad sectors, a zero erase on a 3TB drive could take 6-10 hours.
If you want to use the 3TB, use it for file backup, not for your bootable clone your creating with the instructions I gave.
You see later on, once you got all your data off the internal boot drive, you build the external boot drive just like you would do a brand new erased internal drive. You add programs and whatnot, tweak it how you like. Because later on your use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external onto the erased or new internal drive. Get it?
So 3TB is excessive if your internal boot drive is only 500GB, you will have 2.5TB left over.
Sure you can partition, but I don't advise having so many backups on one piece of physical media, you drop it, lose it or fry it, you lost everything.
So more and seperate pieces of backup are safer in that regard, hardware and software redundancy.

TS1372 Restoring my Ipod is not working. It restarts itself during the boot up process and the white bar under the apple logo is always so close to reaching the end but it restarts and tells me to restore it again.

During the boot up process, the white bar under the apple logo is always so close to reaching the end but it restarts and tells me to restore it again. I have tried different usb ports and restarting computer but it wont work
Ipod classic 120gb

Have you tried restoring through iTunes? If not, try pressing and holding the center 'Select' button and the top 'Menu' buttons together until it restarts. Once you it restarts and you see the Apple logo, press and hold the left 'Previous' and center 'Select' buttons together to go into the diagnostics. You can run tests through that and see if it's a hard drive issue or software issue.

UJI Progress bar / Loader woes

Hi. I'm new here. Only a beginner with Flash really, been
using for a few months. I only have Flash 8 due to finances, but I
use CS3 at work.
I have built my own preloaders/progress bars in the past but
decided to have a go with the UI progress bar / Loader for quick
setup purposes.
Strange things afoot - works when published with "simulate
download" in Flash, works locally in browsers (quickly, obviously)
- but when I upload it to a server, Firefox is fine, but IE (6
& 7) it WAS working properly earlier, but when revisiting site,
progress bar hangs at 0%, then fails to disappear when main film is
loaded in. I have noticed this recurring problem with this
component over the last couple of days.
Perhaps I ought to just stick to writing manual ones, but
this one seemed like a very quick way of doing it - if the client
is satisfied with a generic, albeit slightly styled one.
Any ideas? Is it the styling causing it in some way? I have
fontFamily, fontSize, themeColor.

Both load instantly for me after the first load, check if it
is also doing this for you, if not than i am completely lost, i
cant see how a change in URL could possibly change the
flash.

Is there a way to link text fields, so when you reach the end of one line it moves to the next?

I often use Acrobat Pro to create forms, whether it be from an existing document or from scratch, and this has always irritated me. I know you can create a text field and select the Multi-line option; however, this is not what I am looking to do. I have a form that has a Yes or No Radio Button, then below it says "If yes, please explain:" followed by 3 lines to respond. When I run it through the Form Creator, it places three text fields on the response lines - as it should. The first line is shorter because of the text, which is why I cannot use the Multi-line option. So is there a way to link these three text fields, so that when I reach the end of the first line it stops and automatically moves to the next?
Here is a picture of what I am looking at:

These types of lines are a left-over from printed forms. There's no reason
to keep using them if your form is digital.
The best approach is to combine the fields to a single multiline field, and
get rid of the first line. Trying to link text fields together is very
tricky. I haven't yet to see it done properly.

Progress Bar / Loading bar in LiveCycle forms

I was just wondering is it possible to write a script to show a Progress bar / Loading bar in LiveCycle ??

Automatic tab when reaching the end of a field with limited character number

Hello!
Is there a way of activating an automatic tab behaviour when the user reaches the end of a field with limited character number?
I'd like the cursor to jump to the next field in tab order automatically.
Possible?
Thank you for any hints!
Marcos

Hi,
What if you tried something like the following example? This works using formCalc on the change event for the field the user is currently typing into:
    var fullCount = 3
    var currentString = xfa.event.newText
    if(Len(currentString) >= fullCount)then
        xfa.host.setFocus("TextField2")
    endif
Or, if you prefer javaScript:
    var fullCount = 3;
    var currentString = xfa.event.newText;
    if(currentString.length >= fullCount){
        xfa.host.setFocus("TextField2");
These work very smoothly.
Hope this helps!

I think that at this point you'll have to post some compilable code to the forum. I recommend that you create and post the smallest program possible that is compilable, runnable, demonstrates your problem, and has no extraneous code not related to the problem, an [SSCCE.|http://sscce.org] Please see the link for details on how to create one of these because trust me, if your SSCCE is compliant with the specs, you'll likely get a very helpful answer from someone here quickly.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

I have an ipod touch 32gb. Model: MC008BT Version: 5.1.1. 3rd ed.
Recently when clicking play on any song the ipod will shuffle through as many songs as there are in the album or playlist until it reaches the end without playing any songs. It also does not go through each song. For example:
a 62 song playlist. I start on song 16. Immediatly the song will shuffle: 16-26-54-62 and then back to the main screen. Also when the songs are shuffling the play button in the top right corner is on.
Music will play if i start from track one with shuffle turned off and repeat turned on. But then i am limited each time to 1-5 songs.
Ipod has been in excellent working order since this has happened.
any suggestions on how to fix?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Trying to install iTunes on my Laptop, running windows 7 (64-bit), but whenever I reach the end of the install, it pops up with an error telling me:
"Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services"

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Current Time code field and "Capture Now has reached the end of tape......"

Hi I just got my new iMac and I have lots of space. When I open up the Final Cut Pro and press the capture now it gives me the notice that it had reached the end of tape, but I haven't reached the end. I have vhs in the VCR machine and it is connected through the digital device. Not only that but my current timecode field is always running and I can't stop it. Also I used the uncontrollable device and when the tape has reached the end I tried to escape but it seizes up and I lost my capture. what shall I do?

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I'm doing this on an iMac.
What's going on with Capture Now? I know staying digital would be best. But I'm kinda doing this project to give myself some hands-on time with FCP to get familiar with it. I'd like to capture this stuff through the Log And Capture GUI if I can. Sooner or later, I'll need to do it with something else (possibly an old VHS tape) where I won't have the option of staying digital.
Anybody?

Progress bar loads very slowley, reaches the end then nothing..
