Strange behavior from my Macbook Please help!

Hi there:
3 days ago my MacBook stopped working! but in a weird way.
When I press the power button the display shows a Grey screen for 1 second and thats it. I can't hear the boot sound anymore . It seems that the CPU fan is not working BUT the hard drive spins! I mean when I press the power button the hard drive turns on and when I hold it for 3 seconds it turns off.
So here are the facts when I press the power button:
1-Screen splashes grey for 1 second
2-Hard drive starts spining
3-Magsafe shows green light
and here are the things that doesnt work when I press the power button:
No sound
No Superdrive
No CPU sound
No battery (when disconnect Magsafe unit wont power up)
My laptop is still under warranty until November, anyone can identify the symptom? One of my friends told me it could be a fried logic board. But if it was fried nothing should work right?
I can send signal from keyboard to power on and it powers on/off the hard drive. then something works... I don't know you experts out there help me....
Thank you so much in advance

You might try to reset the SMC and/or PRAM.

Strange behavior from a PB G4 (Part 2)

On to my next issue. Often when I'm typing the insertion point will jump to someplace other than where it should be or just disappear all together. I'm not doing anything to cause it to do this. I've been being really carefull to not to do anything wrong. I'ts often enough to be a real nuisance. It happened 7 times during my first post (Strange behavior from a PB G4) and 3 times during this one. Please help. Thanks.

Did you use the iFixit website? It has excellent pictures and instructions that are easy to follow.
Replacing any hard disk drive will be challenging for a paraplegic, but with someone's help it can be done fairly inexpensively. There are many tiny fasteners that require tiny tools. Use an egg carton to store them, separated by their location in the PowerBook.
Earlier PowerBooks are easier to work on than later ones.
I still use a PowerBook G4 on occasion, mostly for importing video for editing in iMovie. I upgraded its original 60 GB HD to a much larger one. If you were to do this you would need to locate the PowerBook's original System Install DVD to install and subsequently update OS X and all its original programs.
If you ensure at least a few gigabytes free space, I think most of your problems will be fixed. When free disk space gets down to a few hundred megabytes or less, performance will suffer dramatically. You don't want it to ever get anywhere near that low. Strange things start to happen.
Keep the number of icons on the Desktop to a minimum also. That makes a difference, for reasons that I do not fully understand.

Hello,
I have a parent-child-grandchild report which show's some really strange behaviour.
The data template has 3 queries Q1, Q2 and Q3.
Q2 is bound to Q1 using a bind variable
Q3 is bound to Q2 using another bind variable
For a certain record in Q1 the output should be
2 records in Q2
and 1 record in Q3 for each record in Q2
Q1 record
Q2 record A
Q3 record AA
Q2 record B
Q3 record BC
The results conforms to the expected output.
For another record in Q1 the output should be
2 records in Q2
and 2 records in Q3 for each record in Q2
Q1 record
Q2 record A
Q3 record AA
Q3 record AB
Q2 record B
Q3 record BC
Q3 record BD
In stead of the expected output, the result shows
Q1 record
Q2 record A
Q3 record AA
Q3 record AB
Q2 record B
Q3 record AB
For another record in Q1 the output should be
5 records in Q2
and 2 records in Q3 for each record in Q2
Q1 record
Q2 record A
Q3 record AA
Q3 record AB
Q2 record B
Q3 record BC
Q3 record BD
Q2 record C
Q3 record CE
Q3 record CF
Q2 record D
Q3 record DG
Q3 record DH
Q2 record E
Q3 record EI
Q3 record EJ
In stead of the expected output, the result shows
Q1 record
Q2 record A
Q3 record AA
Q3 record AB
Q2 record B
Q3 record BC
Q3 record BD
Q2 record C
Q3 record CE
Q3 record CF
Q2 record D
Q3 record DG
Q3 record DH
Q2 record E
Q3 record DH
So for the last record of Q2 I don't get the appropriate records from Q3 when there are multiple records to be shown, but only the last record which belongs to the previous Q2
What is going on?
Please help me out...
Kind regards,
Jan-Marcel

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting some of them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via

If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups. See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.

Iweb doesn't see my old domains under 10.9 after the upgrade from 10.7 Please help

Hi everybody,
iweb doesn't see my old domains under 10.9 after the upgrade from 10.7 Please help
It gives me an option to choose a domain but when I go to "sites" it doesn't recognize none of them.
Thanks :-)

In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Did you just delete them from iTunes, or did you also tell it to delete the music files from your Mac ? If just from iTunes then they might still be stored under /Users/username/Music - if they are then you can add them back via File > Add To Library
If not, then whether you can redownload music depends upon what country that you are in. If you can redownload music (and if you haven't changed countries since buying it and it's still in your country's store) then it should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
If you can't redownload music then do you have a copy of it on your backup of your downloads/library that you can copy it back from ?
