Trying to use TechTool for the 1st time.

Powerbook G4 17 inch   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  
My 4 month old 17" Powerbook G4 has been acting up lately. Various programs freezing up or closing as well as Finder locking up. So i'm trying to run the TechTool that came with my AppleCare protection package for the first time. When I try to open it after installing it just freezes. And when I follow the troubleshooting instructions and hold C while I restart it, it goes to a screen filled with code where there is a box telling me to restart the computer. Also, it say "panic: we are hanging here..." at the bottom of the screen, after all the code.
What do I do? Please help.

Check Micromats site to see if you have the correct Tech Tool disk to use on Tiger. Some macs came with the wrong one and sould'nt be used.
In the meantime,try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
Cheers!

    I have an Apple ID and trying to sign in for the 1st time on iTunes. When I do, I get the message: "This Apple ID has not been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." When I do, it brings me to the same AppleID login window, and I get stuck in the same loop. I never get to the following screen to enter my account info. What's going on?? This is MADDENING!

    If you want to use it, click Review and check your account information.  Or you could contact the store support staff if you are concerned at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html for further help.

  • HT3275 Tried to use TM for the first time.  Can't get it to scroll back at all - everything is grayed out.

    I can scroll through the dates.  They highlight and expand when I scroll through them; some gray (local) and some magenta (on my backup disk). 
    But nothing at all happens when I click, right click, or double click on ANY earlier date.  The back/forward arrows in the lower right are also grayed out and without function.
    I tried it with and without the backup disk attached (just trying to recover a file that I goofed up this morning, so last night is fine.)
    I did NOT set any files to be excluded from backup, except for the backup disk itself.  The backup disk is FAR away from being loaded; 43 GB out of 500.
    Any ideas?

    OK, I may have figured out my problem, since jakeloveslucy steered me to the Time Machine Preferences panel.
    I use my MacBook for business, and I travel a lot, so I have FileVault turned on, and I make a fresh backup last thing before each trip, just in case the MacBook gets lost, damaged or stolen. (Duh.) 
    When I went to the "Select Drive" part of the Preferences Panel and selected my Firewire external drive, it said:
    "FileVault is turned on for one or more user accounts on this computer. Time Machine backs up home folders protected by FileVault only when the users who own those home folders are logged out.
    You can’t browse or restore individual items of a home folder encrypted by FileVault in the Time Machine backup. To restore all files and folders from this type of backup, start up from a Mac OS X Install disc and select “Restore System From Backup” from the “Utilities” menu in the Installer."
    As I read that, since I'm the only user of this machine, I can only back up when I'm logged out (?!), and I can only recover with a full backup, not individual files.
    So Time Machine is useless if you use FileVault to protect your data?  Please, someone, confirm or deny!

  • Using T510 for the 1st time and finger print reader

    I am preparing for the delivery of my Lenovo T510 and when you use it the first time, what are the procedures, set by step, and at what point and how do you set up the finger point reader please.

    Hello mate,
    On the task bar you have a laptop icon call Lenovo Think. click there and then click on Lenovo Thinkvantage Tools. In here you have all the Thinkvantage softwares in the computer. Just clic on Fingerprint Reader to open it.
    The fingerprint reader can be use to power on the computer you need to specify a windows password to use it.
    you can put a BIOS password and you use fingerprint instead.
    Make the restore disks as soon as possible. To create them follow the steps above and click on Factory Recovery Disks instead.
    Changing the boot order is just a setting in the BIOS you can do that at any time.
    No you don't have to install Norton or Office 2010. If it's already installed you can uninstall them from the control panel>programs and features.

  • Starting a documentary, using PPro for the 1st time, any pro tips for workflow?

    I'm a documentary director and editor that is making the big switch for my next project.  For some background, I'm coming from the world of FCP 7 working with p2 DVCpro footage off a Panasonic HPX camera,  multiple editors who each have separate systems with duplicates of media to work from, and usually finish using Color, outputting to HDCAM (SR if necessary).
    For the new project the two editors will be working on Mac Pro Towers, OS 10.6.8, Dual Core 3Ghz Intel, 9GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5770. The towers were bought in late 2007, so we can't upgrade to Mountain Lion because our chipset is barely outdated.
    We will be shooting the entirety of the doc on c300s, and eventually c100s.
    One of the main attractions for our switch is that the c300 footage drops in Premiere natively, and we will not need to duplicate our storage space to create 422 Pro Res clips. 
    Is this a mistake?  Does the long GOP format of the canon's mpeg format prove too incompatible for multiclipping, logging, cutting, and then color correct?
    What do I need to do to ensure that each editor can open each other's project files as seamlessly as possible? How do we avoid waiting for the audio to load in each time we pass project files back and forth?
    Because logging and organization are so important to us with the amount of footage we use, are there any bugs I should know of that delete markers or screw up the sync of multiclips?
    Thanks in advance for the advice and discussing topics that I'm sure have been covered here many times before.
    I look forward to all of your thoughts.
    Best,
    Clay

    Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
    1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
    2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
    3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
    4. Allow iPhone to reboot; and try to open the apps again.
    If that doesn't work; you will have to try a restore in iTunes; and then sync the apps back the phone after the restore.

  • When using Firefox for the 1st time, I was unable to save or edit bookmarks. I fixed this but now the icon for the bookmark is a blank dotted square. How do I fix this?

    I deleted the "places.sqlite" and "localstore" files as instructed in the support FAQ section, and now i can save bookmarks, but in the Bookmarks toolbar and drop down menu, the only bookmark that has an icon(picture) next to the name of the bookmark is one that I use the IE Tab extension for due to incompatibility of that website with Firefox. This one does have an Internet Explorer Icon. The rest are just a blank dotted square where the icon should be. I downloaded Firefox 8 first and was having this problem, so I tried Aurora, which I am using now but got the same problem. The below support instructions solved the problem of not being able to save Bookmarks, but now I am having the icon issue.

  • For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

    For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised  by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

    I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

  • No Suitable Items found for PO (error M8035) while doing MIRO against service PO for the 1st time in the Company Code

    Hi
    I am encountering the error M8035 (" No Suitable Items found for PO ") while I am doing MIRO for the 1st time against service POs (item cat - D) in a company code.
    in OMSY the period opened for the company code is : Current 06 2014 previous 05 2014
    This was done because Go Live date for the new company code is 01.06.2014.
    I am doing test in the test client now.
    I have created a vendor on today's date
    I have created a service PO on today's date (GR, GR Bsd IV, IR, Serv Bsd IV - these indicators are marked in the PO)
    I have created service entry sheet on today's date (acc assignment - K, G/L a/c was determined from the Material Group maintained in the PO)
    I have accepted the service entry sheet on 04.05.2014 (FI doc posted against the matl doc - KBS to WRX on 04.05.2014)
    I am trying to do the MIRO in the same company code on 04.05.2014.
    While I am putting the PO and its line item in MIRO item and pressing enter system shows the above info msg and nothings is appearing in MIRO item.
    I have tried to do MIRO against service entry sheet also - same things happened.
    I have tried selecting Goods Service Item+planned del cost in MIRO - nothing changed.
    I have tried posting MIRO against a non service PO (acc assgnment K, Item cat - BLANK) after doing MIGO in the same company code in the same date- PO is appearing in that case.
    FI people are able to post FB60 manually for the vendor I am using in the PO - so there is no problem in the vendor also.
    I have gone through the scn post related with the topic, unfortunately none of them solved my problem.
    Please help
    Thanks
    Sanjib...

    Can you post a screen shot for PO history ?
    Regards
