Ready to take off no boot up

I personally not a G5 owner but have worked with them at my work place where we have many G5s 2.0 ghz dual rigs, in the past we had a few go into this all fans running full bore no boot up, but soon found it was tied to faulty video cards as a swap with a known good video card verified this, cards replaced and no problem since then, however recently a different unit started this all fans on full bore as soon as you hit power button, no boot up just ready for take off it sounds like. So obviously first thing checked was swap known good video card into unit, however this changed nothing, this sound like a logic board gone bad? I am at a loss on this one but I am trying to be helpful at work. It is because of what I have witnessed with repair and reliability issues on our G5's at work is the main reason I personally stay with G4's, but note these G5's seem to be a whole different animal than my trusty G4's

Well, anything that interrupts the startup will cause the fans to go wild... for safety's sake.
PM G5 won't start...

  • System sounds like some jumbojet is ready for take off...

    Hi,  I've installed Linux Mint on my Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc7600 Convertible Minitower and now when i watch n online movie (Youtube) ordo anything else like installing software using synaptic, the system fan go really bersek! The BIOS is set to a low fan speed and in normal conditions you don't here the fan. A hint i got on the Linux Mint forum was to update the BIOS since it's a very old BIOS. My question is, can i update the BIOS and were to find the latest BIOS ROM?
    Or does anyone else has a solutiuon to stop the fans go berserk?

    Nomko, welcome to the forum.
    There are no drivers or BIOS updates for Linux.  Therefore, you will not be able to update the BIOS.  Please don't try to do so using any retail BIOS updates.  None of the retail updates will work with HP motherboards.  HP has them made to their specs.
    When I use Linux, I use the forums for the Distro I am using like you did.  They are the experts.

  • My MacBook Pro is stuck on the loading screen and sounds as if its about the take off?!

    Hi everyone. About 3 hours ago my laptop suddenly became very unresponsive and began freezing a lot. I cleared the cookies on Firefox, but the problem carried on so I tried rebooting. Now it has been stuck on the loading screen for about half an hour, sounding like a rocket ready to take off.. I brought it second hand and I don't have an installation CD, at least if I do it's not here at uni with me anyway.. Any ideas?! Thanks

    Not knowing what your os is very difficult regarding offering troubleshooting solutions.  Most if not all the system discs are machine specific. 
    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available. 
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • I purchased a iMAC off eBay. I was wondering how do I take off the previous owner name and replace mines?

    Hi,
    I purchased a iMAC off eBay. I was wondering how do I take off the previous owner name and replace mines? I reset all passwords to log in,but his name in the mac keeps showing up.
    Thanks,
    Honey
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

  • LEOPARD SEEMS TO TAKE LONG TO BOOT UP???

    I am new to MacIntosh. I was a former PC user that converted to a MacIntosh iMac 24" Screen. When I purchased the iMac, it came with Tiger OS. I recently purchased Leopard from Apple On-Line and I installed Leopard but it seems to take longer to boot up than Tiger did. Is that normal or did I do something wrong installing Leopard? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    relaxed

    I've noticed the longer boot times as well. I first upgraded from Tiger and then bought a brand new hard drive and did a clean install. Both drives have a boot time about twice as long as Tiger did (40 seconds compared to 20 seconds).
    I don't think you did anything wrong but it never hurts to run the disk repair options available to you. Rest assured that there have been many posts and mentions of the longer boot time and that it seems to be normal even with the .5.2 updates.
    I guess there's nothing to worry about except being more relaxed for the 40 seconds? You can also just put the computer to sleep as opposed to shutting it off. Apple does a much better of 'hibernating' than MS did with Windows. But, from my own non-scientific experience, riding on a bus or car with hibernating Mac notebook could do something to the hard drive which I'd only had for 3 months. Mine died not too long after I started taking the rough-riding bus to work and had it in sleep mode. Don't know if there's a correlation, but there could be so I'm just throwing it out there.
    Hope some of this helps!

  • How to take off email and website subscription from 2006  iMac to sell?

    I have a desktop Imac that I bought in 2006 and would now like to sell. I also bought a laptop in 2007 that I prefer using. How do I remove the email and website subscription from the desktop model without messing up the laptop info? They seem to be connected at this point and I am not sure how to take off the information from one without damaging the other.

    Have you solved this problem? If not, can you be more specific? You can change the email account information using Email preferences. Which website subscription would you like to remove?

  • How can I take off my messages from my iPhone without deleting them

    I want to take off my messages from my iPhone 4, but I don't want to delete them.  Is there a way to take them off and save them somewhere.

    You can do it, but you need another library signed in to iTunes match. That second library shouldn't have any local files stored.
    Delete the entry from that second library and it will ask you to confirm that you want to remove the file from the cloud. Confirm that you do.
    Now, as long as you don't delete the file from your main library it will have an iCloud status of "removed" and won't be in the cloud or try add it again.
    However, if you sign out of match on that computer and then sign in again it will then re-add it to the cloud, so this isn't a method to use if you tend to turn match on and off much.
    I have had the Beatles Mono albums in my main library, but not in the cloud, for a while now without any problems.

    An iPhone can only sync with one computer at a time. All of the music you want on your phone must be on the same computer.

    Hello,
    the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
    >>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
