Wallstreet 233mhz to 300mhz... boots up, but no video
I picked up a 300mhz card for my Wallstreet. I even saw it running, in person, on another Wallstreet just fine (it was reported at 350mhz under OS 8, but I know that there were some issues with Wallstreets and OS 8 and 9 with regards to processor speed). But when I install it in my Wallstreet, I can hear the drive spin up and boot into OS 9, but I get no video whatsoever. While it's up and running, I can tap keys and hear the default beep, but I just can't see anything. I tried to zap the PRAM, swap memory modules, boot up with the hard drive removed, etc. to no avail. I reinstalled my 233mhz card and it boots just fine.
Has anyone had this experience, and does anyone have any suggestions about what I may have missed?
Thanks- Brian
That's exactly what's happening here. I've got a pile of Wallstreets with Rev 2 boards in them. When I bought the processor, it was listed a "350mhz Wallstreet processor", and it was reported as such in the System Profiler under 9.2 on the Wallstreet that it was tested in. I even saw it with my own eyes on the seller's Wallstreet. Little did I know at the time that it was being tested on a Rev 1 Wallstreet.
After my tests at home failed, I turned both the "350" processor over, and a vanilla 233 from my Wallstreet, and observed that each has a chip with similar numbers. The 233 has "XPC106ARX66CG" etched on it, and the "350" has "XPC106ARX83DG" etched on it. I'm concluding that the last four digits, particularly the number, is the bus speed. Therefore, what I was sold was a 292mhz from a Rev. 1 Wallstreet, and 9.x was reporting it incorrectly.
Guess I'll look for a Rev. 1 board and stuff it in one of my other Wallstreets. I'd really like to see how Tiger runs on it
Thanks for the help.

G5 dual 2ghz. Been unplugged for a while. Powers up but no video or power to usb keyboard. Boots up fine in safe mode, restart into normal mode ok. After shutdown, back to same issue. What's happening?
I keep seeing people ask and the advice to replace if it has been unplugged, but really have nothing to confirm that from my experiences.
My experience is that a weak or dead battery can cause much more than date and time issues.
I have seen it time and time again.
Deal with used machines and you will quickly learn....
I'll give no "recipe" or set list of symptoms, but the range of irregularities that can occur make it a quick and easy first line of troubleshooting, especially when the machine has been off the mains for a few months.
Why fight mysterious maladies and troubleshoot with the knowledge that the PRAM battery is beyond it's useful life.
Maybe they recharge?
Not likely. They are chemically nasty, disposable, one way discharge batteries.
They aren't Lithium-ion batteries -

I am trying to install Boot Camp but it says I haven't got enough free space on my start up disk - that I need at least 10GB free space - however in disk utility it says I have 27GB free!
if your SSD is only 60 GBs, then you don't have space on which to install Windows. That 27 GBs is space you need to have for adding files you create, music you download, added applications, pictures, etc. You need to maintain at least 10 GBs as free space for OS X, plus you need space for files OS X will create and add to over time.
Your 60 GB SSD is just a minimum usable size for OS X. There isn't sufficient space to also support Windows which requires close to 25 GBs of the 27 GBs you still have free. Sorry, but that just doesn't really work well. -
I bought mountain lion for my macbook pro and I'm trying to install it and it says there was an error and I need to boot up but I don't have any other start up disks to boot up with. Are there any suggestions of how I could get my computer started?
Hold the Option key down and restart. Select one of the drives that comes up and hit the Return key.

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.
Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though. -
I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work.
Although it didn't work, the memory is still divided. So I looked for Boot Camp in aplications, but it literally vanished...
So I tried downloading it again, but I only found EXE files... they don't work on my MacBook Pro...
It's very new... Bought it recently...
Please... I need help to unparticion memory back to original Mac HD and install Boot Camp...
Thanks...Below is the paragraph from the instructions. Follow it exactly and then report what happens at each stage.
How you remove Windows from your computer depends on whether you installed
Windows on a second disk partition or on a single-volume disk.
If you installed Windows on a second disk partition: Using Boot Camp Assistant as
described below, remove Windows by deleting the Windows partition and restoring
the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.
If your computer has multiple disks and you installed Windows on a disk that has only one
partition: Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder, to reformat it
as a Mac OS X volume.
To delete Windows and the Windows partition:
1 Start up in Mac OS X.
2 Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.
3 Open Boot Camp Assistant.
4 Select “Remove Windows 7,” and then click Continue.
5 Do one of the following:
a If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore.
b If your computer has multiple internal disks, select the disk with Windows on it,
and then select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue. -
T60 will not boot - lights, but nothing on the screen, no beeps
Hey everyone,
My approximately 4 year old (and thus out of warranty) T60 is having trouble booting. Sometimes, but not always, when I press the power button I get the lights turning on, but then all but the power (Z in a circle) indicator and the battery (if I have it in - I've tried it with and without) and the power cord (if that's plugged in- again, tried every way) lights stay on. Here's a video of exactly what's happening (made by someone else):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm4Lklr6-Rk
It just sits there and nothing comes up.
I've tried the following and still had trouble booting:
Removing each of the two RAM modules (I have a 512 and a 2gig stick) - I would leave one in so that it would work, but I tried it with each.
Removing the hard drive
Removing the optical drive
I also opening it up to see what I could see, but there are no clearly loose connectors. The fan starts just fine, but then turns off shortly after I press the power button. The harddrive also seems to spin up, but the indicator doesn't flash for very long before the lights return to the configuration I mentioned above. There are as far as I know no beeps, though I had beeps disabled in Windows (not sure if that matters at the POST level though).
However, it does sometimes boot up. I can't tell what exactly makes it work sometimes and other times not. When it does boot, it is extremely stable and works just fine. I'm tempted to just leave it on 24/7, but I'm on vacation and will have to turn it off at least to get through airport security.
The last time, I tried holding the power button down for about a minute with all power sources disconnected, and it did boot up, but that may have been coincidence.
I've seen some threads that make it seem like perhaps this problem might be related to the USB ports (http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T400-won-t-boot-can-t-access-BIOS/td-p/20280... but visual inspection doesn't reveal anything wrong with them.
Any ideas? I'm leaving it on as long as I can now, but I can play more with turning it off and trying things once I get back home in a few days. It's frustrating, since once I get it to start up, it's more or less solid and Windows and all peripherals seem to run as expected.
Thanks!Try the DIMMs one at a time

i have an iMac with mountain lion 10.8.3 with boot camp 5.0.2 .i installed windows 7 -64 bit with boot camp but the boot camp didn't install drivers for windows please guide me for trouble shooting .

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

My Macbook aliminium unibody from late 2008 will not boot. I reach the grey screen with the apple icon and the spinning grey gear. I used disk utility to boot it but it said integrity test failed. I don't know what to do can anyone please help?
Sounds like you may have a harddrive issue. You are probably going to need to get that changed out and then install the OS X again to get it going.

After installing ProTools 10 and I have a drivers I tried to restart my MacBook Pro, but it will not boot up. It was just working fine and I restarted it because I ran a java upgrade and it will not boot. I tried to cold boot it, but it still allows me to login in pass the encryption login the the loading symbol keeps revolving and doesn't stop.
If you've activated FileVault, only the users that were authorized to unlock the startup volume will appear in the pre-startup authentication dialog. Once the system has started up, all users will appear in the login dialog.
To authorize more users after the volume has been encrypted, select the FileVault tab in the Security & Privacy preference pane. Click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click Enable Users...
You should only enable users whom you trust implicitly with all data on the system, not just their own data. -

Hello all!
I got a new hard drive for my Mac Book Pro and an enclosure so I could clone the old partitions on to the new drive.
So I...
Put the new hard drive in the enclosure.
Booted up off an install disk and ran disk utility.
Copied the Mac and Bootcamp partitions over to the new drive that was connected VIA USB.
Turned off the computer, took the old hard drive out and put it in the enclosure.
Put the new hard drive in the Mac Book Pro.
Booted into Mac OSX with no problem.
When I rebooted held down the option key to boot into the windows side, it didn't show up as an option.
When I went back into the Mac side, I loaded Disk Utility and saw that I had the Mac partition, the BOOTCAMP partition, and a bunch of unallocated space. When I went into the System Preferences and set the target boot drive to the BOOTCAMP partition and restarted, I got some crazy error about there not being any bootable info on it.
That's where I am at. I have found other posts with people who are having the same problem, but I have yet to find a solution that doesn't involve me buying some 3rd party software. I know it has something to do with (what is called in Microsoft world) the Master Boot Record, but I don't know how to modify that to reflect that the BOOTCAMP partition is a bootable logical drive. I remember in MS DOS land there was some command line FDSK /something command that you would run (I think it was /MBR) to reset the MBR. To me though, all of these terms are shadowy figures in the Ether.
What do I do???

p.s. I read somewhere to boot off the windows 7 disk and run the system repair tools. I tried that and no change.I got it. It CAN be done. At least on 10.6
How I made it happen (for free) on Snow Leopard:
1) partition, dupe etc all that jazz that you know. Make the mac side work, which it seems we've all been able to do no issues. I used SuperDuper! It worked just fine. (Had it on a disk. I assume you could use any other free way of doing this.)
2) New hard drive running, I used bootcamp assistant to partition the new drive for a new Bootcamp. I don't know if it's necessary to make the new partition this way for some reason, but it's what the process ultimately included, so maybe try without, but it worked with.
3) Natively running original drive on the windows side. Used DirveImage XML to clone windows partition onto new drive connected externally.
4) Back on new hard drive running natively. (Sorry for all the switching.) You'll note that the new Bootcamp partition is NOT bootable at this point. It won't come up in the usual 'alt on startup' boot menu.
Download rEFInd and install on mac side. Technically this is freeware or w/e, but for the love of god, throw money at this man. He totally deserves it.
5) Restarting the computer, rEFInd's boot manager finally recognizes windows. But you'll find windows is a little messed up and still won't quite boot. Get out your Windows CD and pop it in. Do the 'alt boot' thing. Your boot menu options are now "EFI Manager," "Bootcamp," and "Windows Disk." Or some such. Holy Crap! It recognizes Windows!
6) Boot to the CD and tell it to repair the windows volume. It will. My computer also had to do a disk check next time I booted to Windows, which took for-stupid-ever, but eventually worked. (I went to bed in between.)
7) Everything is running smoothly. Plus, you get the rEFInd boot manager, which is also great.

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

I replaced my hard drive on macbook pro and used time machine to boot from but it also installed the unrepaired disk permmissions of the other drive, would this cause problems to my new drive?
Can you remember what the permissions problem was that you had before? You may need to reinstall OS X from scratch and not reinstall anything from your Time Machine backups. To be on the safe side you should reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, as well. Then only restore from your backup your document/data files.
