Ultra 24 that will not perform POST

I have an Ultra 24 that will not perform POST. I think the BIOS is corrupted or the motherboard went bad. All I get is the white Sun logo splash screen at poweron. The fan is running full speed too.
Any ideas?

So I took the iMac to the Apple store for service.  They confirmed my greatest fear...  Bad logic board.  The cost to replace this component was in the ball park of $700.  The techs at the Apple store provided daily communication as to the progress of their diagnosis.  In the end, I asked them to not do the repair and just button up the machine.  To my amazement, when I went to pick up the iMac they did not charge me a dime.  I then went and ordered a new 27" iMac online.

  • I have songs in my iTunes App that will not play.  It keeps saying that this computer is not authorized to play would you like to authorize it.  I would but its asking me to authorize an account that was changed.  What do I do????

    I have songs in my iTunes Application that will not play.  I keeps saying that this computer is not authourized to play name of song would you like to authourize it.  The problem is its the old account I had and that has been changed.  How am I going to authorize these songs when this account no longer exists.

    I posted about this yesterday -- it happened to me, and the solution was incredibly simple. An Apple tech guy had me delete my SC Info Folder, located on my XP in Application Data.
    Here is my post:

    It wasn't every song, just a few of them. A nightmare to figure out what to do, but it was solved upon reboot.

  • Statistic report with figures that will not change when rerun months later

    Hi,
    Is there any good practices that we can follow to create statistic reports with figures that will not change even when rerun after few months later?
    My scenario is my statistic report is generated based on data that is "alive" which means the record will get change after a period of time. So, if you generate the statistic report in for January 2006 in the month of January and regenerate in May for the January 2006 statistic, the figure is different. But what I want is to be able to get the same figures.
    I know in this case looks like we need some sort of summary tables, so posting this to get advice on the best way to design such summary tables. Please comment if there is other ways of doing it.
    Summary tables may work for statistic report, but how to support detail report listing where the records are required to be the same when it was generated few months ago.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    What happens, when you execute a report today is the following: a select statement is fired at the data base and the result set is displayed in the report. The data can change after the moment you launched your report. What you could do to keep the result set the same, is implementing a user parameter that fills your date discriminator.

  • How to fix a Domain file that will not open

    We have a Domain file on our Mac Mini that will not open - iWeb keeps saying that it cannot be found, even though it is in the Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. I transferred the Domain file to my GS, and I get the same response - if I switch back to the original Domain file (on the G5), all is well. Obviously, the Domain file from the Mac Mini has gotten corrupted, but cannot determine the exact problem (though I think it may be the index.xml.gz file). I've reinstalled iWeb, checked permissions, deleted (and re-created) the associated plist files - nothing. Unfortunately, our company's web pages are in that Domain file, and cannot perform some much-needed updates. Any help that can be offered would be most appreciated!!

    Have you tried double-clicking on the Domain file?

  • Toshiba L755 is the only one that will not PXE BOOT

    I have a few host on my network which it has VMWare 10 installed, successively performed deployment into those machines(Hosts and created VM"s). Now, I do have also a Toshiba L755-S5258 that will not complete the process,  it does not give any
    errors. The following is the messages it gives.
    Client MAC ADDR: xx xx xx xx xx xx       GUID: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXX
    Client IP:XXX.XXX.X.XX        MASK:  XXX.XXX.XXX.x                  DHCP IP:   XXX.XXX.X.X
    Gateway IP: XXX.XXX.X.X
    Downloaded WDSNBP...
    Press F12 for network service boot
    Windows Deployment services: PXE boot Aborted.
    PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM
    This si the only unit that does not follow through with the deployment
    Note that I've deleted other machines that I successively  deployed to from the Known Computers on Active Directory User and Computers, with not good results
    Please any one help me decipher this headache 

    Hi,
    Are your using the WDS for the Windows deploy? A network boot program (NBP) is the first file that is downloaded and executed as part of the network boot process and it controls
    the beginning of the boot experience (for example, whether or not the user must press F12 to initiate a network boot). NBPs are specific to both the architecture and firmware of the client. You must accounting the screen press F12 to allow the system boot
    from the WDS. The VMware® workstation PXE booting issue please ask your software vendor.

    Swagat,
          Thank you for your response, what I am still not getting is - even in manual transfers via LT10 shouldn't the system restrict the movements to certain storage types? If you think from the shopfloor perspective the WM material movements are done at WM level only - meaning moving materials from one storage type to another and LT10 is widely used as it is one step tcode.
    I know we can restrict movements when storage class is assigned in search strategy, but this applies only to hazardous materials. The material in question is not hazardous so I am still thinking if there is any way to restrict material movements.
    Do you have any documentation link which mentions search strategies are not taken into consideration during manual transfer? If yes please send that would be helpful.
    Once again thanks for your time.

  • I have one iPad that will connect to our wifi but I have another one that will not, why is that

    I have an iPad that will not connect to the wifi at our house. My sister also has an iPad and it connects automatically. Mine is the only one that will not. I can't figure how to get it to work. I have taken my iPad other places with wifi and it connects right away. I know that some wifi systems have a limit on how many things can connect to them but I have even gone so far as turn off the wifi on every device that we have that connects to the wifi and it still doesn't work. I don't know what to do or how to get it to work?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    looks like the gtk theme is not the problem. didnt really think it was, but the documentation was worth posting. the guys over at ubuntu look as though they have dealt with this in great detail, and have produced a few solutions, which may or may not work. i have decided to post these for anyone else who may have these problems.
    Solution 1 - new user creation:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104521
    Solution 2 - config file delete:
    http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=724439
    post number 6 here features the config file delete solution, as well as a link to another post which may be useful.
    judging by a google search on this problem and the number of responses that came up, the bonobo/daemon error is quite a common curse for the users of gnome, although much more common in distros such as ubuntu or fedora.
    i hope that this proves useful and if anyone has anything to add, please feel free. the more documentation the better.
    EDIT:
    another solution would be to remove gnome and reinstall it from scratch. (some please tell me if i am doing this correctly. thanks )
    1. clean your catch:
    pacman -Scc
    2. remove gnome, gnome extras, and whatever other gnome files you might have installed
    pacman -Rscn gnome gnome-extra etc...
    3. reinstall gnome and gnome extras
    pacman -Sy gnome gnome-extra
    4. reconfigure your desktop the way you want.
