startup

Hi all I picked up a used G4 Sawtooth. Everything checks out OK except it won't boot, even from a CD. I have a tested, known good hard drive with Tiger, one with OS-9.2 and the Tiger DVD - I still get the question mark folder icon, alternating with a good folder icon. When I start holding the...

I upgraded my software on my G4 to OS x 10.4.6, everything worked fine for about a month. When I startup my Mac no longer "Chimes", all the programs seem to be working fine, but wondering what would cause the "chime" to quit. All other sounds work fine. Any feedback would be greatly...

Hi fellow Mac lovers Bear with me while I rattle this story off: Since this is a Mac and not some PC, I've only had cause to shutdown a few times this year, mainly when going away overnight on a trip (I mean that as in going somewhere, not dropping acid and watching the floor ripple)...

I tried searching but can't really find the answers so I'll post here. I've got an issue when running a second monitor with my powerbook. It's a brand new 15"...blah blah blah. The second monitor is a ViewSonic 19"CRT. The problem happens when I try to powerup with the CRT connected...

Weird thing, but my screensaver locked up out of the blue, it wouldn't let me access my screen no matter what I did. I ended up powering down the computer with the power button then did a startup. All begun well except, for some strange reason, the startup progrees bar remained on my desktop...

Hi there, I have a very strange problem with an iMac G3 slot loading. It seems to be the same problems as other users have with their iMacs. The trouble began by switching off the iMac - the power-led keeps on (green). Then my daughter in law pulls the power cable. By restarting the iMac only...

I can't find anything quite like this in the various threads. It's not of vital importance, but I'd like a way to solve it (Question is at end of thread). CPU: G4 tower, 400, 512, 10.3.7, Classic, 9.2.2 Two hard drives in bottom bay: original 10Gig (HD-A), added 80Gig (HD-B). Another new...

I was working on my TiBook and got up to grab a drink. I was working on the carpet and carefully slid it toward a chair I was going to sit in. When I came back it was frozen and would not respond in any way. I did a hard shutdown and now it will not turn on. When I press the startup button, I...

Hi everyone, (Newbie) When I start-up my Mac for the first time, the hard drive collates extremely slowly until it hangs on a GREY screen with the APPLE logo displayed centre. I then press the restart button, and it then proceeds to collate slowly again only this time it displays the BLUE...

I just bought a 20" Hewlett-Packard LCD monitor. When my desktop image appears during startup, there's a dancing pattern of red pixels in the black areas of the image. They stop after about 2 minutes and never reappear during the work session. I discovered that if I turn the monitor on and leave...
