Why is my powerbook G3 has been attempting to log in for more than 30 minutes

Why is my powerbook g3 not logging in, it has been attempting to do so fore more than 45 minutes. HELP!

Will it boot from the MacOS X installation disk? If so run the Disk Utility file check to see if any repair is needed.

You could also try booting into safe mode which runs a file check as well.

  • Firefox hangs after it has been left open but idle for more than about 30 minutes.

    Any idea what could be causing this or how I fix it. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the software

    Hi,
    As you can see from the theory this alert could mean two things:
    1. Too many powershell scripts are executed on agent simultaneously
    2. There are scripts that takes much time to complete
    First of all, you need to evaluate a script-based module (workflow). You need to find answers to following questions:
    – What is the target for this script-based workflow?
    – How many instances of this target class are exist on the affected computer?
    – Does this script leveraging a cookdown concept?
    – How long it take for script to complete?
    Please go through the articles below for more details:

  • Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

    Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

    There could be several reasons. It may be that Acrobat spent that time trying and ran into too many bottlenecks. As a test you might print the PDF to a new PDF and try the conversion on the new PDF. It might be there is a problem with the original PDF that the print process would fix..

  • Since I updated to iCloud, Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 has no problems. What's wrong?

    Since I updated to iCloud, (which may or may not be related) Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 and my old iMac has no problems. When there is no service a yellow warning triangle appears adjacent to the Inbox and Connection Doctor reports,"Trying to log into this MobileMe IMAP account failed. Verify that username and password are correct."  Since it does fetch Mail from time to time they cannot be wrong.... can they? Should I update to 10.7 and if so what does that entail?

    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

  • I've been trying to download IOS5 for more than 2 hours. Do I need to stop and restart?

    I've been trying to download IOS5 for more than 2 hours. Do I need to stop and restart the download?

    I think I would cancel it. Unplug phone, then plug back in and then maybe only select download instead of download and install. Thats what I did for our phones and so far we have no issues at all with any of the features - new or old. I don't know why that would make a difference though. But it will allow you to unplug your phone once the download starts and go do your thing while its downloading. Then you can come back later and when u plug in iTunes will ask you to install new software for phone.

    It sounds like you're connecting to an iTunes account you've never synced with?

  • Why does my computer freeze when I leave it sitting on for more than an hour?

    If I leave my computer on for an extended amount of time with it closed, the computer will not light up as I open it up or if I punch the keys.  I can only see the slender light in the front right that has a slow flash.  To turn it on I have to hold the power button until I don't see the flash and then power it back on. Sometimes this does not work and I need to force it off again.  Has anyone had this issue?  Does anyone know what this is?

    Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|Previous Sh' | tail | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • Downloading mavericks and it's been on the apple logo for more than 2 hours

    I started downloading mavericks and I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and it's been at the apple logo with the greyish white screen with the turning wheel for over 2 hours I'm not sure if that's normal. It would be great if someone who had a familiar problem   I'm thinking about rebooting it if that's a good idea?

  • I recently bought a 13" Mac Book Pro i7 dual core processor and everything was just fine until now. I have been using iMovie for about a month and it runs perfectly, but now I can't seem to use it for more than 20 minutes without iMovie crashing. Help?

    When iMovie crashes it also makes my compute very slow and unpleasant to use. Has anyone else had this problem before? Should I take my laptop to the genius bar? I owned this computer for over a month now.

    I tried.  It would not download.  A drop down notice said an error had occurred and to return to the purchase page; which I have done on numerous occasions.  (What I am to do on the purchase page I am not sure, other than to click on purchases and see that the same iPhoto download is available.  By the way, this was not purchased.  It just showed up with two other items free items, which did download nicely.)
