Upgrade from 10.3.9 to tiger and can no longer restart or shutdown

I upgraded my powerbook G4 with 1 gb of ram with tiger recently and ever since, I can not reboot or shutdown without holding down the powerbutton. The system shuts down all programs and then hangs on the desktop with no applications running... just a blank screen.
If I press the powerbutton, the window that prompts you what you want to do (shutdown, restart) comes up, but does not do anything.
I use file vault.
Any ideas? I can not find anything on this on any support site. I can not reinstall the OS again... as I can not restart into the CD or boot from a CD by holding down C.
HELP
I'm about to trash this mac and by a PC!

Since you can't boot from the Tiger install disc to run Disk First Aid repair, you can run FSCK instead with instructions for doing so provided per this link.

  • I upgraded from a 5s to a 6plus and can't get my purchased ringtones what should I do?

    I upgraded from a 5s to a 6plus and can't get my purchased ringtones, when I go and buy the ringtone again it tells me I already purchased it, how do I get them again?

    Hi there DallasHeat,
    It looks like you will need to sync this data from your previous device. Take a look at the article below for more information. 
    Download past purchases
    Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones
    If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.

  • I just upgraded to CC (from LR 5) on Macbook Pro and can no longer import to Network Drive.  New version is LR 5.7.  Help?

    Just like the title says: MBP, retina works great with LR 5 installed from CD.  Added CC, upgraded to LR 5.7 and now import "hangs" with no activity.  Have been using LR since version 2.
    More info: the problem is writing to my network drive (which has been working since LR 2...  It seems a Temporary Folder is created with permissions 755 (owner=rw, group=r, others=r),
    then nothing more.
    Has something changed with respect to LR handling of network drives.  This is a Linux CIFS/SMB share (again, been using since LR 2).  Catalog is local on my MBP.

    This is my post and I'm new, so I may not be providing the answer in the "usual" manner.  (Feel free to educate me!)
    Solution:
    The mounted volume on MacBook is /Volumes/photowork.  Notice the lowercase 'p' in photowork.   In LR I had selected a mount point
    with *uppercase* 'p'.  See screen shot.  Summary: The already-selected mount point was /Volumes/Photoshop.  LR had no complaints.  When
    I changed the mount point to /Volumes/photowork LR imported as expected. 
    This only became an issue since the upgrade, as I simply never tinkered with mount points and so on.  This archive
    server has files back to 2000 on it.    Thanks so much to those who responded.

  • I have CS5 .   When I upgraded from Window 8  to 8.1 I can no longer delete photographs while in Bridge unless I close it out and then reopen it.  Help

    Can I  fix this ?

    To see what Graphics Card is in your computer,
    Go to Control Panel > Device Manager > Graphics Adaptor and it will tell you the card Model, then double click it to see your driver version.
    Also a great utility I've been using for years that detects your Hardware and Drivers and Apps types and versions is Periform's SPECCY.
    They offer a free version which even detects Fan Speeds and Motherboard and Video Card and CPU  Temperatures.

  • Upgraded Playbook to 2.0.1.358 and can no longer sync with PC

    I upgraded to the latest software version for the PlayBook via wi-fi. I had no issues until I attempted to sync my PB with my pc to copy over pictures and videos from my PB. I do this sync about every 3 weeks or so. When I first plugged in the Playbook to my pc (Sony Vaio w/ Windows 7) I received a message about drivers being installed. When my Playbook was acknowledged by  BB Desktop Manager it incorrectly read that my PB software version was 0.0.0.0 and prompted me to upgrade. I downloaded and installed the software (again). All looked successful again, however when I attempted to access the Media Sync options I received a message that "media services are not available" and that "your blackberry device is not compatible with this features". Now, when I connect my PB to my pc via USB cable it does not even trigger DM to open. If I manually open DM then it recognizes that a PB is connected and starts a full back up. If I let the back up complete then it triggers me to do an update to the latest software version (which I already have installed but DM continually shows that my PB software version is 0.0.0.0). If I install the upgrade as instructed then I am prompted to disconnect and reboot the PB. When I do this loop starts all over again. A full back up starts and I am prompted again after that to install the latest PB software. How do I get out of this loop and back to being able to sync all my media from my PB to my pc. Also, when I have my PB connected and I look at Windows Explorer, it does not list my PB as a drive. However, if my PB is connected to my wi-fi network I can see it on the network. I copied my pictures/videos via the network (turned on sharing on the PB) as a workaround but this is not how I wanted to manage my file transfers. PLEASE HELP. I spent all day yesterday googling for answers and similar experiences by others and I don't know how to fix this. I am tempted to create an incident request with Blackberry/RIM to resolve this but thought I would try here first. Appreciate any responses.  

    I to have exprianced this problem.  I upgraded my os and now when I try to connect my Playbook to my computer, the Desktop Manager does not connect and prompts my to upgrade.  After turning off my Virus Protection, firewall, trying several times, rebooting both playbook and computer, I started to install the upgrade through Desktop Manager.  After a few minuites I decided this was probably counterproductive so I canceled the install.  Not sure but since the upgrade, my computer will not connect to the Playbook.  Ideas?

  • I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and can no longer sync

    Worked fine before upgraded of iTunesto the latest version now cannot sync iPod touch. error message is that will be wiped and replaced by library which is too big for the device so I have to wipe it and reinstall  manually which takes at least four hours. Cannot backup as not able to in iTunes and do not haveiCloud. Use win7

    Again:
    You said: " Cannot backup as not able to in iTunes" What happens when you try to backup?
    What are you doing when you get this message: "I have followed the solution but am not given the choice to select the device."?
    What do you mean by: "The dates and times on both match."?
    You are not telling use what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

  • Need to upgrade from 10.4.11 to Tiger..

    Can I upgrade from 10.4.11 to Tiger through app store, or do I need install disk? Really don't want to move all my files, so I am hoping I can upgrade with just a few clicks...

    Hi Ira,
    10.4 is Tiger, & 10.4.11 is as high as Tiger goes.
    10.5.x is Leopard
    10.6.x is Snow Leopard
    10.7 is Lion
    The highest OS your Core Duo can run is 10.6.x, you cannot install or run 10.7 on it...
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.

  • Upgrading from a G5 iMac running Tiger to a new iMac.

    I am upgrading from a G5 iMac running Tiger to a new iMac, can I use 32Gb SD Card to move iphotos, itunes, ivideos? If so, how do I do it and insure I keep slideshows, playlists etc. I have built in iphoto, itunes etc.

    Your Tiger iPhoto library may need upgrading with a Apple Library updater tool before you can use it with iPhoto '11. Reference. More iPhoto help just in case.
    Make sure that that SD card is an SDHC card, and not just an SD card, or it may not be readable in your new iMac.
    Here is the layout of the iTunes 11.0.1 Music folder on OS X 10.8.2. It may vary from what you have on Tiger.
    Read the following articles before you move your iTunes library from Tiger.
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder.
    iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you are satisfied that your iTunes content is moved over to Mountain Lion, you may wish to deauthorize the G5 from iTunes.

  • Hello - I upgraded from photoshop cc to cc 2014 and lost my plug ins.  How can I move them into cc 2014? Thanks

    Hello - I upgraded from photoshop cc to cc 2014 and lost my plug ins.  How can I move them into cc 2014? Thanks

    The install of 2014 doesn't move or copy anything from a previous version, with the exception of settings. You can go into your Photoshop CC installation folder, navigate to your plugins folder and then just copy all the plugins you've installed from that folder and into the Photoshop CC 2014 plugins folder. The plugins should then be available in 2014 the next time you launch Photoshop.
    The only thing that may prevent this from working is if you're using the 32bit version of Photoshop CC. Photoshop CC 2014 is 64bit only so 32bit plugins don't work. If this is the case for you, check out the manufacturer of the plugins and see if they have 64bit versions available.
