Resetting PMU, PRAM and SMU does not stop freezes
Resetting all these things does nothing to stop either just plain not starting at all, or system freezes on startup. For the benefit of anybody reading this who uses ProTools, I'm running 7.4 LE. This is the only non-Apple app on the machine, which is my home studio. Very frustrating! It's a real crapshoot as to whether or not my studio computer will come on line every time I hit the on button, and then, whether or not I can run ProTools. For those folks, I'm curious as to whether or not an Archive and Install routine requires that ProTools it's plug-ins be reinstalled. Also, repairing system preferences and using MacJanitor religiously (or profanely with lots of body english) have never solved this problem either. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

hi help unlock the phone happened after we installed a new programa we can not get the activation password and ID, I know and still does not stop the phone bought in Israel and what documents should be sent to confirm that my phone Please read through the help
What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart -
With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. Even canceling takes forever.
iPad2 sync is fine.
Any ideas to solve it?This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

Hi,
so basically, as the title says, my computer is making a really loud noise as soon as I turn it on, I am presuming it is the fan.
Over a month ago, my computer started to constantly crash, and about two weeks ago I took it to a Genius Bar for a diagnosis. The problem was a hard drive failure, so I had it replaced and yesterday I brought it back home.
However, after the fix, the computer now runs fine, but there is a really loud noise from the computer.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC like some other threads have suggested, and none of them have worked. I have tried restarting, shutting down the computer and everything suggested.
The computer has never made this noise in this manner before.
Before the fix, the only time it would be noisy like this is when I wake it from sleep, just left it there (on screen requiring username and password) and it sleeps again, and if I wake it from sleep, then it would be loud like this, but that is solved by just simply sleeping the computer again and waking it, and it will be all quiet again.
However, now, it makes this loud noise as soon as I turn the computer on, and as long as the computer is not shut down or asleep, it will make this noise.
Before the fix, my OS was 10.4.11, but the Genius Bar had installed 10.5.8 on this hard drive.
Is this a software problem or a hardware one?
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas how to fix this?
I have called the Apple store I visited for this fix already, they push me over to AppleCare and AppleCare pushes me back to Apple store and they tell me they cannot provide technical support over the phone and would need me to take the computer back to the Genius Bar.
I am just not happy about this. I live almost an hour away from the closest store and I have university to attend to as well.
So I am hoping this problem can be resolved without having to go back to the Genius Bar, although all methods I have read so far do not help.
Thanks,
From LelouchHi, well, the thing is, I am just worried that, while making other repairs, they might have damaged something unintentionally and probably do not know about it, which would not be documented.
My initial problem of a loud fan, after a hard drive replacement, was fixed, so I do not hear it anymore, but this wind-like noise is different. With the iMacs, I presume the fans are towards the top, which was where the loud fan noise came from, however, this wind-like noise seems to come from the bottom of the computer screen are, centre and right side (in the direction I face it), but not the left side.
I describe it as wind-like, but it sounds a bit like when the computer is on heavy demand and the computer loads, yet different as it is quieter and slightly different in pattern, and unlike the usual heavy demand noise which comes from the top, it comes from the bottom.
I actually installed a temperature widget after my last repair, just in case my fan was just simply tuned off and would not come on at all for the sake of fixing the loud noise it was making.
The temperatures read as follows:
HD: 31
CPU: 27
Ambient: 17
GPU: 36
GPU Diode: 46
GPU Heatsink: 36
HD Bay: 33
Optical Drive: 30
To my knowledge, these should be fine temperatures?
But the noise persists regardless. The noise can instantly be heard (providing that it is quiet enough) as soon as the computer starts up.
Thanks,

Resetting PRAM and SMC does not resolve crashes; what next?
Lion has been crashing (when going to sleep, when waking from hibernation, when closing Safari's last tab, when shutting down, among other, less common, scenarios) very often on my MacBook2,1.
What is the sequence of steps you would try to resolve, or at least debug, the problem? I have already reset the PRAM and the SMC. Imperically, the rate of crashes may have already lessened, but it still happens. What to try next?Here is the last gory message. I did nothing more perverse than boot the laptop, launch emacs to read a text file for a minute, exit emacs, then shutdown. It didn't. It crashed instead. This is the crash log when I rebooted.
Oh, and I was in the car. So I wasn't connected to anything of any sort.

I reset my MacBook and it does not do anything the screen stays gray
I reset my MacBook Pro it's two years old, when it came back on I signed in with my password then it didn't load up the dashboard, screen stayed gray like every single thing on it was gone or some thing
Reinstall:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
THERE IS A PROBLEM IN OPENING ANY FILE. WHEN OPENING - A RAPID SUCCESSION OF FILES OPEN, ONE ATOP THE NEXT, WITHOUT SHOWING FILE'S CONTENT. THIS CONTINUES FOR QUITE A WHILE. I MUST TURN OFF COMPUTER. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CHOOSE ANY OTHER FUNCTION WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING, IE : WHEN OPENING A FILE. AS IN , I CANNOT OPEN GOOGLE OR MAIL, ETC. AND THE FILES KEEP OPENING AS UNTITLED.

Resetting PMU, PRAM, etc when installing new RAM?
Dear Forum,
I've just ordered Kingston DDR SDRAM - KTA-G5400/2G 2GB PC3200 Kit - for my G5 Dual. My machine has 8 slots. This new RAM will occupy slots 4 and 5. I've checked that this is definitely the correct RAM for my machine.
I've read what Samara and Japamac have to say about resetting PMU,PRAM, and NVRAM.
Can you elaborate on this please? Where is the reset button located for my G5 Dual Processor? Is the reset performed before or after the installation of new RAM? The .pdf RAM installation manual (downloaded from this forum)does not mention any necessity to perform a reset, and does not identify the location of any button either?Go to System Preference control panel Startup Disk and set it.
I'd use Option key to look for your boot drive first time anyway.

I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.
Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!
- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again

My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?
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/delete 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.
In order to restore with the unknown Restrictions passcode you will likely have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
