PSE 7 ran once and now will not start.

Installed PSE7 about a month ago on vista. ran it once. It picked up an old catalog. I changed the catalog and now PSE wont run. It shows up in the processs for about 10 seconds then disappears. Adobe has sent some suggestions. none worked. Said they were going to move me to a higher tech but has not contacted me in over a week. PSE3 still works. Downloaded CS4 trial. It wont run. Any ideas. Am I stuck with PSE3 forever. Have I blown $70 on PSE7. film at 11.....Fustrated

Your symptoms smell like you need to update the licensing service:

T500 shuts down/or freezes when I plug in my AC adapter and now will not start up.

I have had my T500 for two years and I have had endless problems with this laptop. My latest issue started with the computer waking up from sleep mode with a black screen. The computer just froze there and I had to force it to shutdown. When I finally managed to get it started again, the computer gave me an alert saying that a display driver had stopped working. The computer ran fine for a while before it would issue the blue screen of death then have the same black screen issue again and shutdown. Then it got to the point where if I have my computer plugged in it would not even get to the BIOS screen, it would simply loop-restart over and over till I unplugged it, pulled out the battery, put the battery back and turned it on again. Then it would not start at all if I had my adapter plugged in and if I plugged it in at all while the computer was running, it would freeze and after a minute would shut down and again continuously try to start up. Now, the computer will not start in any way, plugged in or no. The lights all turn on like it normally does when it starts up, but then it shuts off and repeats the same process over and over again.
I have no idea what to do this time and unfortunately being a student I do not have enough money to buy an external harddrive to back up everything on this computer. Frankly with all the problems I have had with this thing, I am considering just throwing it out.

Try making a bootable Ubuntu disc and running that for a while. It's possible your Windows install is hosed.

Mac mini slowed down and now will not start up

Help!
I couple days ago i noticed my mac was running a bit slower than usual but I just ignored it since I brought it home for the holidays and thought it might just be the internet connection. Then, yesterday, I turned it on in the morning and it was running so slow that it would take up to 10 minutes just to open any window. TODAY, i turned it on again to try to solve the problem after being unsuccessful yesterday, and now the fan starts blowing really loud as soon as i turn it on as if it were hot (i don't know, im not very smart with computers) and it will not load past the first grey screen or the second blue one.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Also, if it matters, i'm not sure what my 'OS' is and since i can't turn my mac on i can't find out what it is at the moment...
Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks for the info about having wrongly applied the PMU reset to your Intel Mini. That will account for the fan running full blast. Only known (cheap) fix is to apply the correct SMC reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US
(The Mini's reset procedure is at the very end of that link.)
If that fixes the fan, then we have to consider that your original problem had something to do with the hard drive. Either the hard drive was too full, or else it was starting to fail and needed to re-read sectors -- which would account for things getting very slow.
Do you have any recollection of how full the drive was? Any warning messages?
To check for HardDrive failure or file system corruption, typically one would startup the Mini from the install disc that shipped with it and run DiskUtility from the Utilities menu at the top of the screen. But it seems you can't get your hands on that disc -- and you pretty much need the kind of disc that shipped with your model of Mini.

MacBook Pro slowed down and now will not start up- flashing symbols on start screen.

I am increasingly worried about my MacBook Pro. It had been slow for a few weeks (I think it may be infected with some kind of malware), slowed down even more, and then a couple days ago when I turned it on it flashed a question mark folder, a prohibitory sign, and the apple logo on the startup screen and will not go past that. I followed the instructions on an apple help page for this issue- Nothing connected to it; I even removed the apple power cord. I tried a safe boot. I reset the NVRAM. It said to try starting up from an OS install disc, but my computer did not come with one. Here's the bit where I'm not sure if I made a stupid decision; another site said that the computer will download a recovery partition if there is no install disc, so I booted while holding down C even though I had no disc. I then read that holding option on startup will allow you to choose which disc to start from- I did that, and the only option displayed is a disc called Recovery (with a number after it that I think was 10.something, presumably referring to the OS version). Does this mean I have lost access to my computer's Macintosh HD? Have my files been lost? Unfortunately I do not have them backed up. Bad decision on my part.

Thanks for the quick response.
Command-option-r does take me to a screen with a spinning globe. Below the globe is a drop-down menu from which to select a wi-fi network. My network, however, is not listed. (I am now sitting right by the router, and my iPhone is on the wifi without any problem.) I go instead to manually type it in. I have triple checked the network name and password. I have used both the WEP key, which I have always used, and something that the sticker on the router refers to as the Mac ID, which is the WEP but with two zeros before it. Still the screen shakes as if I have entered the wrong password. I'm not sure what's going on now.

Powerbook froze and now will not start up

Maybe she decided that she was retiring but this is what happened.
I was using my Powerbook G4 800 DVI, left to get a snack, came back a few min. later, and the screen was locked up on the last page in Safari I was viewing. No track pad, no keyboard, nothing. Held the power button down till she powered off. Now it will not boot at all. Battery is nearly full, as seen on the lights on the battery.
So I opened the keyboard, and nothing seemed out of place. I removed the 2 ram chips, as I was thinking maybe they got bumped. Replaced them, still no boot, nothing, will not even try.
That was odd, but I let it sit for about 10 min, came back, still no boot, but when I went to get the ram chips out again, they were quite hot. Nothing spectacular, but it puzzled me as they were no that hot when I first forced power-off, but now the computer had been off for at least 15-20 min, and they seemed hotter than earlier. They cooled down quickly when I removed them, but I argued with myself that it could have been residual heat from the other components. So I let it sit for 30 more min, when all the components were cool, then I reinstalled the battery and ram, and tried to boot, noting, but the ram chips were definitely hot. Why would power be going through them when not booted? Short circuit? Failed ram? No matter the combination of chips, ( I have 2x512 MB) only one, in top, bottom, both in, put the bott. on top, nothing. They still got hot and no boot...
I have done a PMU reset found here, with no results
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
The only other odd point is when I have it plugged into the wall charger, everything gets warm, much like it is processing data. The heat sinks for the CPU, and even the bott. of the case, away from the battery get warm, much like it is actually working. I have never noticed that before, but maybe I missed it? I do not think that the CPU should be getting hot while it is charging, powered off, as no fans will kick in.
I know this is long, and I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
We have a mac store that is certified in repairs, (not a true apple store) and I trust them s we do all of our business computers through them, but I cannot get it to them till Monday. Also, so I don’t have too much sticker shock, what it is the typical service rate? (Ballpark is fine, just going to do some cost comparisons)
One more also. Lets assume my mobo/ram whatever, crapped out, and I want to get the data off the HD, what will be the best method. What if my HD crapped out, can I salvage anything?
Again, thanks
Spinner

Hi spinner,
Start by trying to boot from your install disc. What are the results?
Data: if HD has died, only recourse is data recovery service, hundreds of dollars. If HD is ok, you may be able to boot into FireWire Target Disk Mode and recover your data, otherwise, you can remove the HD and install it in an external enclosure (for 2.5" HD, $50 or so; I'd recommend a FireWire or FW/USB2 model so you can boot a Mac from it in the future, and because in real world use, FW is actually faster than USB2) and connect it to any Mac to access your data.

Laptop shut down during firefox update and now will not start up - did a uninstall and reinstall and still will not start up

firefox was installing an update and i accidently hit the power button and so it shut down in the middle of the update. after i started my computer again, firefox would not start up. i tried to download it hoping the update would complete but it still would not start up when i clicked on the icon. so i tried to delete it and it would not delete said it was open, so i shut down and restarted the computer. then it deleted using the control panel remove program option. after that i logged onto IE to mozilla.org and downloaded it, afterward it still would not open up or connect to the internet.

Hi meekprm-
It sounds like you've tried to do the right thing- by uninstalling and then reinstalling. I'm hoping that you can look over the steps I usually suggest and see if there is anything different that may help you get a fresh version of Firefox installed.
* Get the latest version: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
* 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.

Firefox crashed and now will not start. Cannot create new profile or start in safe mode because Mozilla Crash Reporter appears and will not restart.

Browing the web, Firefox crashed. Typical "this is embarrassing" window appeared and I could choose to restore or start new session. I tried to restore, and nothing happened. Mozilla Crash Reporter appeared, the option to quit Firefox seems to work but restarting just brings back the Crash Reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but Crash Reporter persists. I tried looking through your articles on crash on startup, but I cannot open Profile Manager, nor start in safe mode, nor anything else, with that Crash Reporter popping up. I can't give you a crash ID as I can't type anything into Firefox address bar if I can't open the program. I'm running Windows 7 starter edition on a netbook. Honetly really only use Firefox on this machine, so help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,

My Ipad will not start up. I had shut off normally with wake/sleep button and now will not start.

my iAD WONT START AFTER i HAD SHUT IT OFF USING THE SLEEP WAKE BUTTON. iS THERE SOMETHING i NEED TO RESET, AND HOW?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Help, was clearing HD out and now will not start up!

I think I may have deleted some files i shouldn't have whilst trying to free up some space on my imac. If I turn it on it goes to the screen with the grey box telling me to restart my computer. Over the screen there is loads of text starting with, panic(cpu 0): unable to find driver for this platform: "powermac4.2" and then more text and numbers. I cannot do anything beyond this point.I am using another computer at the moment. Have I just killed my computer or can anybody help??
imac g4 Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are suffering what's known as a Kernel Panic due to those missing system files. Without knowing what's missing exactly the only what ahead is to boot from the OS X Install disk and conduct and Archive and Install. Your data will remain intact but the system preferences etc will be replaced.
I dare say you don't want the lecture on 'messing with system files' or 'having a whole system back-up on an external drive'?
Let us know how you get on.
kind regards

IMac froze, and now will not start up properly

I left my iMac for about half an hour, and when I came back, it was completely frozen, and I had to shut it down by pressing the power button. I turned it back on, and this is what happened:
I heard the usual chime, and the grey screen popped up. However, the screen then went black, and then the grey screen popped up again. After a few seconds of solid grey screen, a little icon appeared in the middle of the screen. It looks like a little folder icon, and it alternately flashes the face from the Finder icon and then a question mark over and over.
I tried resetting the SMU and holding the Command-Option-P-R keys before the grey screen pops up, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

This exact same thing just happened to my girlfriend's iMac G5 on July 11th. After taking it to the Apple Store Genius Bar, we were told that it was a hard drive failure. they booted the computer off their external hard drive with some kind of utility program. the iMac's hard drive did not show up as a drive at all. we were told, there was nothing they could do about it. we could go to a hard drive data specialist who could attempt to extract the data on the hard drive but it would cost up to $1000, but even then the chances of getting data back are not guaranteed. we basically need to get a new hard drive.
this is lovely... for a computer that is a year and a half old, you would expect a little more longevity and reliability in it's components. my old 450MHz G4 tower, that's like 8 years old, has never caused me any problems except for being slow in speed. makes me reconsider wanting to replace my old G4 with the next iMac release.
does anyone have any other suggestions and recommendations that won't cost a thousand dollars in recovery services? thanks!

My iphone 4 ran out of battery and now will not charge

Yesterday my iphone was acting unusual randomly alerting me with a message saying something like the accessory you have plugged into your iphone is not compatable with this device(while my iphone was not plugged into anything at all). it had done this several times during the day untill had turned it off and then back on. For the rest of the day no alerts had popped up. Later that night my iphone ran completely out of battery dead and now will not charge or turn on, while on the charger or not. I have not updated the phone since i got it. I just tried plugging it into my computer and my computer (PC)recognized it but said that the device could not be installed. Is there anything i can do?

You most likely have dirt, moisture or a bent pin in the dock connector on the phone. Inspect it with a magnifying glass, and if it's dirt do your best to clean it thoroughly. A dry toothbrush frequently will fix it.
If that doesn't resolve the problem the phone needs to be repaired.

PSE 7 ran once and now will not start.
