HT3964 What can I do to fix my macbook pro when it's stuck on the startup screen, grey apple with spinning timer?

Please help!

The SMC Reset is for power related issues which you don't have.
The Gray Screen issue occurs if there is a incompatible or outdated third party at boot kernel extension file or if there is a corruption in one of the files of OS X itself.
You can bypass the kext files at boot by holding the Shift Key down while booting the machine, this will hopefully allow you to get in and backup users files off the machine first.
The best method to quickly fix Gray Screen issues is simply to #8 Reinstall Just OS X method, that way it kicks out any and all at boot kext files and gives a new copy of OS X itself, without touching most other programs or your files.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
You will need to Software Update fully until clear afterwards to bring your security and Apple programs up to date, then evaluate which third party programs are no longer working (no at boot kext files) and seeing if there is a update for them that is compatible with your latest OS X verison before reinstalling them.

Accessing my home mac from my mac book when i'm away from home.

Hi, I have a powermac G5 at home and have just bought a mac book pro. is there any way to set them up so i can access the powermac when i am out traveling with my mac book? I guess i would need to leave the powermac on all the time, but how do i get the two connected? i have far to many files to use iDisc.
thanks for your help.

What you need to do is to configure your broadband modem to forward the appropriate traffic (normally by port forwarding) to your PowerMac G5. Additionally, it is suggested you have a static WAN IP address else be using a dynamic DNS service like DynDNS…
http://www.dyndns.com/
… and your PM G5 has a static LAN IP address as well. Otherwise, the easier way is to just put you PM into your modem's DMZ and all traffic will be sent to it.
Once you do that then you'll have no problems getting access to you PM. However, you need to be aware that you will be opening up your PM to attacks from the WAN side. The best is if you're able to administer your modem from the WAN so you can turn on and off functionality as you need to.
So, what you need to do first is have administrator access to your modem.

Windows XP PC can't see shared files on Mac

Our Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.8 can access all the shared folders on our Windows XP PC. In addition, all our other Macs can access the shared folders on our Mac Pro.
However - the XP PC cannot access any shared folders on the Mac Pro!
Any ideas how to fix this situation, and allow the XP PC to access our Mac Pro's shared folders?

If your Mac Pro has FileVault on, your Windows XP machine will not be able to access the files, as FileVault disables SMB and printer sharing for Windows XP clients.
In case FileVault is not on, you could try temporarily disabling the Windows firewall and the anivirus and/or internet security suite on the WinPC, and see whether it can access the files on your Mac Pro.
Good Luck.

You have to do it on the Apple TV itself while it's plugged into a TV so that you can see its screen.

On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

Click on the Hot Corners.. button and look at the four definitions. In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop. Set it to "-" to deactivate.

Can't see airdrop on my mac

can't see airdrop on my mac (its a imac)

I did two complete installs of Lion and AirDrop was missing from the Finder Sidebar both times. I believe the cause is the age of my MAC 24" 32bit Intel computer which was built in late 2007. On my wife's 10/2010 15" MACPRO laptop everything installed perfectly. Obviously Apple did not test their installs on older hardware. Other issues I had to resolve were the old Network Utility version 1.4.5 was not removed and showed up under applications while the new one version 1.5 showed up under Utilities were it belonged (meaning Launchpad had two duplicate apps). The older one was missing the BSD package, but this was not the real issue. I trashed the earlier version. Java had to be installed when the install was done. A glitch occurred with moving files out of a desktop folder. They would snap to the far left upper corner. This was resolved by restarting in safe mode, followed by a second restart when safe mode was complete. And to add insult to injury, 1Password does not load IDs and passwords any longer, but that's another vendor's problem. I filed a bug report on the Apple Developer website. That's all for now. I previously had to remove Sigma Chess, a legacy app that required Rosetta. Lion is not as stable as Snow Leopard was, because Snow Leopard was tested on the older hardware.

Can I use my non wifi Mac pro as my host computer?

I have a Mac pro hard wired (ethernet) to my linksys router, I also have my Airport Extreme base station connected to the same router,
my question is: can Apple TV see my NON WIFI Mac pro through the Airport base station and then through my router?,
if so what kind of setup would I need to do?
any advice would be great, cheers

Smokerz, thanks for the reply, I should have been clearer, my Linksys is just an ethernet router not a wifi router,
thats why I have the Airport base station, which is connected to the Linksys along with my other computers, the Linksys then connects to my Broadband cable modem.
so my Airport base station is my only wireless reciever,
cheers

Are you certain your work is compute-bound?
Insufficient RAM memory or too much competition for too few drives causes a system to have unused processor power, but complete the work too slowly.

HT1338 Can I upgrade my Intel Xeon MAC PRO running OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5.8?

Can I upgrade my Intel Xeon MAC PRO running OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5.8?

Yes. You can actually upgrade it all the way to Lion should you so wish, although you would need to first purchase and install Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I would skip Leopard as it's more expensive and obsolete. You can purchase a Snow Leopard DVD at any Apple retailer - $29.00. You can update it by downloading Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. The use the App Store to purchase and download Lion should you choose to do so - $30.00.
I would consider expanding your RAM to at least 4 GBs or more especially if you decide to upgrade to Lion. Before upgrading see the following:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like it. How?

I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like mac pro for education How?

First, if you have a MACBOOK PRO (a laptop), you should post in that forum. MAC PRO (desktop) and Macbook Pro are different things, so when you use those terms interchangeably, it's impossible to know what you're talking about.
Second, even guessing that you have a laptop, I still have no idea what your question means. Are you trying to load Microsoft Windows on it? Every Mac can run Windows using either Boot Camp or Parallels/Fusion/VMWare solutions. Please explain in more detail what you're trying to do, and we'll try to help. But post in the Macbook Pro forum if you're talking about a laptop.
