When I turn my i book G4 laptop on, it just shows a tiny folder with a ? & a face. What can I do to fix this problem?

Hello,
This would indelicate a fault with the Hard Drive, either it is not working or the iBook does not have any OS installed. You will need the original system disks that was supplied with the iBook. If you have an Apple Hardware test disk, use that to check the condition of your hard drive. If the hard drive is fine, use the gray system disk to restore the OS on your iBook.
If you don't have the original gray system disk, then use a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. These can be obtained on some vendors web sites online or alternatively eBay.

Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!

Also, pop up blocker works for some time and then just stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to get it to work again. Help!

I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was to update Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but that didn't help it and I had the same problem.
Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called Tile Tabs 4.10 that I thought could feasibly creating this problem. So I went into my add-ons manager and disabled it, restarted Firefox and the tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the Tile Tabs extension is my favorite Firefox add-on and I use it almost every day for managing my web work tasks. I went to the add-on page for Tile Tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 didn't work properly on Mac OS, and to install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw they had a new, not-yet-reviewed version 4.11 that addressed the Mac OS problem, installed it, and everything seems to be working properly.
I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem, as I hadn't updated Firefox or the Tile Tabs extension recently. Also, obviously this might not address your problem, especially if you don't have that add-on installed and enabled. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it appears based on your post time, so its probably not coincidence.
But its worth a look, and you might want to check out other extensions if you don't have Tile Tabs that could be causing the problem.

I had to restart my iMac and when it came back on the screen shows a file folder with a question mark. What should I do?

Did you move any system files? It's looking for the system folder. You can startup from the system CD by inserting the CD and restarting the computer and at the same time hold down the C key. The computer will boot from the CD. At that point run the disk utility and check your hard-drive. It the problem persists then do a fresh clean install of the system folder and that should help you get back on track.
Good Luck.

I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button

I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button .

Try connecting it to another PC, if it is ok, then your PC has some software conflict with iTunes.
If it hangs other PC also, then your iPod Hardisk, maybe bad.
Do the disk diagnosticas posted earlier by tt2, to check the health of your Hardisk.
Have a nice day!

If you did not do a reset of your iPod please try that (you will not lose any data)
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If this does not work inspect the opening in your iPod where the cable connects. Look for any debris and clean it (a magnifying glass may be required).

My Intel iMac only shows a blinking folder with a question mark when powering it up. What can I do besides running the hardware test of the original installer disc.

My Intel iMac only shows a blinking folder with a question mark when powered up.
I did run the hardware test of the original installer disc and no trouble was found and I am out of options. Does anybody have any advice what to do next

If the drive shows errors then repair, if after the 3rd pass of Repair Disk in Disk Utility it still shows errors it's telling you it's time to be replaced. Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for repair, when it comes back use your backup (either Time Machine or bootable clone) to restore so you can pick up where you left off.

Hi MrConnors
Honestly, I'm not sure what could be causing this. It looks like a python error of some sort. You said you get this when you turn on your Macbook, can you tell me anything else? Like what application do you see the error in? Maybe you can provide a screen shot?

When I turn my MacBook Pro on, the white apple screen shows up with loading circle, but doesn't go from this screen. Why?

It's just a white screen with the apple logo. It doesn't move from this screen regardless of how long it's on. The charger is showing a green light. It was amber before I let it fully charge. I've tried turning it on with and without it plugged in. I hear the hard drive start up when I turn it on. And the caps lock light turns on when I hit it. Any suggestions? Help please.

Start your MBP holding the OPTION key. This should show two HDD icons. Select the one on the right, the RECOVER icon. This should display a four option menu. Select Disk Utility and repair the disk.
If no success, the the only other avenue is is a reinstall of the OS.
Ciao.

Although I turned off WiFi, set as 'require admin password to turn on and off wifi, when I turn on my MacBook Pro, retina latest model, just got for a month, it turns on wifi automatically, is this a back door or virus or security hole? Thank you

I have my all networks at 'Off' status in the system panel, never use Bluetooth either, also in the top status bar, and set as 'require admin password to turn on and off WiFi', but when I turn on my MacBookPro 15" retina newest model only one month old, it goes on to WiFi automatically by itself.
Is this a back door? Security hole?
The other day, I was taking a break for five minutes, when I came back, the Microsoft outlook is open for setting up an account, I never use outlook, it is there only because it comes with the office package. Also, iTunes was playing music, I don't use iTunes when I'm working. Both were not on before I left for the break.
What is the problem?

I saved my excel contact list to either Tab Delimeted .txt or .csv file. Then when i import in Address book as Test file, it does not import the address. And when i click on the tabs to import, it keeps loading and hang.
Even if i dont import the address line, those underlined were not shown even though detected.

Are you trying to import from within the AB application, menubar File > Import > VCards? If so, what happens if, in Finder, you just double-click on the VCF file?
