My G4 Apple PowerBook will not boot further than pale blue/grey screen displaying "flashing file symbol / flashing ?"

My G4 Apple PowerBook will not boot further than pale blue/grey screen displaying "flashing file symbol / flashing ?"
Last previous action: Used Firewire cable and "Target Mode" to copy files from G4 eMac to the PowerBook.
I worked from the eMac to the PowerBook, making the PowerBook the "Target". Files seemed to transfer OK. Won't boot from InstallDisc. Holding down T on startup results in Target mode screen. I have a G4 iMac and a G4 eMac. Can I use either of these with Firewire cable to boot-up my PowerBook ?
I'm new to using this Communities & Forums Help. Can someone please help me to get going again ! ! Thanks for your time. Graflood

Hello,
It sounds to me like the PowerBook is stuck in target disk mode.
It's expecting the iMac/eMac to be there when booting. Seeming it's not attached, it will show a flashing folder.
If your PowerBook internal drive is bootable, then simply hold down the option key when booting and select it's internal hard drive. That should boot your PowerBook into Mac OS X.

TS2570 My computer will not startup further than the white screen with the grey Apple.

I have tried all of the steps at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570, other than the ones requiring a disk. I have no clue where my disk is, I am running Maveriks which was disk free on the last update. I was able to start in safe-mode yesterday, but the internet would not work. Then I started up using another method and the internet worked, but none of my Word docs, PowerPoint slideshows, or PDF files would open. Someone please help me get my computer working normally again. The closest Apple Store is 2 hours away, so if I can avoid that it would be wonderful. Thanks for your help in advance.

If I click on that second link, and try the steps below, will this erase my hard drive or saved items? I ask this because you told me to back up my computer first. And the iOS 7.0.6 was a mis-click, I have the latest OS X installed.
2. Boot with command-S (command also has the cloverleaf or Apple logo on the key, or the Windows logo key may sometimes work on a wired keyboard, though ideally you should have an Apple, MacAlly, or Logitech keyboard with the Apple logo on it). At the prompt type:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Followed by return key. Repeat running /sbin/fsck -fy followed by return key until the system says it is repaired. If it tells you it can't repair it, then
get Alsoft Disk Warrior. If it can repair it, type:
/sbin/mount -uw
Followed by return key. Then type
exit
followed by return key. It should boot normally.

MSI MS-7200 945G Express will not recognize more than 3 GB

Hello, I just got the MSI board with the Intel 945G chipset, I put in 4x1 GB sticks of RAM, but the BIOS and Windows will not recognize more than 3 GB even though in the specs it says it supports 4 GB. When I use 3 Sticks, the RAM the BIOS displays is 3072MB, with 4 sticks, it displays 3196 MB. I upgraded to the latest BIOS and drivers. Am I missing something? or is this the way it supposed to be?
Thanks

You need to use XP 64 bit to have it recognize more than 3-3.5 gigs.
Windows xp home and pro are 32 bit limited. They can see only 3.5 gigs even though you really have 4. You also will only be able to allocate a max of 2 gigs per process in windows xp home and xp pro.
To beable to see 4 gigs, and alocate more than 2 gigs per proccess you have to run a 64 bit OS. IE windows xp pro 64bit version or windows server 2003 64 bit version.(same thing).

How long did you wait for the download to run? The last time I downloaded the Windows support files for Boot Camp, it was going very slowly, so I swapped away to another task. Several minutes later I came back and it had moved a little, but not much, so I went on with other things. When I got back to it several hours later, the download had completed. Perhaps you just need to let it go overnight to perform the downloads...

You may have better luck posting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and MS Windows guru's tend to hang out.

I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.

And for this I guess that it is the backing up of my Podcasts - which are free downloads that causes the hang up. These are items that I have played and synced before without issues. I am thinking this way because these are Podcasts that I used to play but sundenly would not play on my iPhone. Each time I try to play anyone of them it generates the message - this movie could not be played.
I am scared of atempting a system restore because I guess I may lose my SMS for the past two months. Please approach the solution from this point of view.
Thanks

Please refer to this thread.

It may have something to do with one of your backup files that has been corrupted before.

While trying to restore os x and erase content, some problem about voice software came up and the computer asked me to restart and try again by clicking restart button. When I did this, the machine went to a gray start up screen and will not progress.

While trying to restore os x and erase content on my MacBook pro, some problem about voice software came up and the computer asked me to restart and try again by clicking restart button. When I did this, the machine went to a gray start up screen with an apple and will not progress. I've waited more than 30 minutes and tried restarting again by holding the power button. Also, restore cd 1 will not eject so the computer will no longer move past the gray screen with spinning circle. Restore CDs had never beeused and were still in packaging in the original box. Ran hardware test just to check, and it came back as normal. Now what? I live nowhere near a genius bar :(

That's called a kernel panic...
Since the install disc won't eject, try starting up while holding down the C key. If the Mac won't boot while holding down the C key, try ejecting disc by either holding down the mouse while starting up or holding down the Eject key while starting up.
Try booting from your install disc so you can run Disk Utility in case the startup disk needs repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your startup disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free space.

Bootcamp - Changed partition settings now Windows will not boot

Hi,
I suspect I've created a problem that I've made progressively owrse in trying to solve... Any help appreciated!
A month ago I created a bootcamp partition (about 850Gig OS X and 150Gig for Win7), successfully installed Windows 7 and everything was fine.
After an acciental delete of itunes media incident I thought I would create a Time Machine backup partition on the OS X part of the drive so used the Disk Utility to do so, making sure I "took" from OS X and not the Bootcamp partition. I now had three partitions: OS X (500Gig), a Backup (350Gig) and a Bootcamp (150Gig) (I now suspect some of you might be screaming I've created the problem here already...) noting that the 150Gig Bootcamp partition is still as it was and the diagram in Disk Utility has always shown it as the bottom section.
Perhaps I'm being naive here but it never occured to me that splitting the OS X partition would have any impact at all on the Bootcamp partition!
Anyway, now I'm unable to boot to Windows (black screen "No bootable device" etc message).
Checking Finder, all the files on the Bootcamp partition still seem to be there - User settings/accounts, Program Files, the lot.
Is there anyway I can easily rectify this? (eg put the Windows 7 disk in and repair the install or something?!)
I tried deleting the extra Backup partition I created without luck (the space just gets greyed out and unallocated)
Help! I really don't want to have to go through the whole mess of reinstalling Windows 7 on to the Bootcamp partition (that to my mind still hasn't been touched!)

Your Boot Camp partition number probably changed, Windows does not like more than 4 partitions, you had 3 + Lion Recovery and one that Windows makes, and that is one too many.
You can try running Windows startup repair from the disk, but>
Before you do anything make a backup (a clone, for speedier disaster recovery)
If startup repair fails then reinstalling Windows is called for, so while you are at it I would repartition the drive completely, put your Lion installation back on the Mac from your clone, make a new prtition in Boot Camp and reinstall Windows. Then if you have backups of the Windows side (Windows Backup or similar) restore the data.

Windows will not recognize my ipod

My windows will not recognize my ipod. I tried running the latest Ipod Updater several times and received the following error message: Ipod requires Windows 2000(SP) or Windows XP, Please update your software and try again. I have Windows XP so I'm a bit confused to why I'm receiving that error message.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I already tried "re-starting" my ipod and that didn't work either.

Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various ‘generic’ solutions that you can try in an effort to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually).
First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
Also See:

If you are getting a ‘Missing Drivers’ message, try this:
1. Go to http://www.driverguide.com and register (free)
2. Download ‘usbstor.sys’ & ‘usbstor.inf’ to your PC and place them in your i386 Folder
3. Update both drivers by selecting the two files you just downloaded
4. Reboot computer
5. Open iTunes and then connect you iPod
If all the above fails, you may have a Virus, Malware or SpyWare problem.
If you do find that your Device Manager is blank, you should probably check up on this issue first: No Items Appear in the Device Manager List When You Open It

I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Open link in new window will not work

I am running Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP and have never had a problem until just recently. If I right click and select "open link in new window", a new window will open, but it is blank. This started about a week ago while playing Pogo...the game rooms will not load because they open in a new window. Now I am noticing that it is with everything, not just Pogo.
I have tried checking and unchecking the "block pop-ups" option and the new windows will not load either way.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
