Mar 7, 2010I'm having issues with my Ibook G4. I'll start it, it'll run fine for a few minutes, and then freeze up to where no matter what I do, nothing happens, and then I restart it only to have the same thing happen again. I'm thinking it's a software issue, cause when I ran the hardware test, no issues showed up.

Jan 18, 2009I just replaced a failed hard drive on someone's iBook G4 and am now trying to install the operating system. I have the two CD's called "iBook G4 software install and restore." Using them, things go fine until it is time to "select a destination volume," where it doesn't show any volume to select. Running the apple hardware test off the cd shows that it detects the new hard drive, which is OK, and all the other hardware is OK too. So, what to check next? New hard drive is a seagate momentus 5400.3 ST9120822A.

Jan 10, 2009I have an early '08 15" model.
I got two sticks of ram of 2 GB a piece and I can't get my MBP to boot with both of them. It will power on but stay at a black screen. However, if I use 1 stick of the new ram along with 1 stick of the original ram the MBP came with, it boots up just fine (3 GB). I've tried swapping out the sticks of ram and have ruled out the possibility that one of the sticks is DOA.
Apple :: MBP Won't Boot Into OS X
Jan 10, 2009I have a early 08 MBP 2.4 GHz with Windows Vista installed via boot camp. Today I was trying to shut down and instinctively pressed the power button which caused the laptop to hibernate. In order to wake it i had to hold down the power button to do a force shut down. Now I can't reboot into the OS X Partition, it just goes to the white screen with the grey apple logo and then powers down. Booting into windows is fine, except I get a message from Macdrive stating that the OS X Drive was not unmounted properly the last time it was used. If i click check for errors, it doesn't find any and I can read the drive perfectly fine from windows explorer.

Jul 5, 2009I saw this article on either macworld or mac life about installing the OS on a SD card and running it on the new macbook pro's; is there any real benefit to doing this? Is it faster than booting from the hard drive? I was really wanting to get a SSD for my laptop but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a really large capacity one so if I could just install the OS on a SD I could save a lot of money. At least, that's my plan assuming it'd be as fast as a SSD

May 28, 2010I erased the free space on my hard drive because it OS X claimed it was full even though it wasn't. I was forced to quit at the end while it was stalled at "Creating temporary file" for 3 hours. I restarted the computer and this was the result:
YouTube - MBP boot attempt
It boots to the login screen, gives me a warning that the hard drive is full, allows me to log in, but then doesn't load any icons, the dock, or the menu bar. Key commands like cmd-shift-Q still work to log out and stuff.it didn't switch from the login image (that graffiti thing) to my desktop background, which is a jungle cat of some sort, but the mouse cursor still works, as you can see in the video.

Sep 30, 2009I installed Windows 7 (64 bit) on my 13.3" Macbook Pro and have a few problems. Hopefully you guys have been able to fix it and can offer some advice.
1) Battery life sucks - 4 hours only....PCMAG (or was it CNET) reported getting approx 6-7 hours.
2) Keys are continuously illuminated even when I reduce it all the way down. Funny thing is if I keep a light over the iSight camera the keyboard illumination goes away.
3) The Macbook is not recognized as a laptop. For example, the screen is supposed to dim. That does not happen.
The main problem right now is #1, I was really hoping to get 6-7 hours in Windows as well as OS X. Even in OS X I am getting 6ish hours (I never really tested it just what I noticed when mousing over). Is there a utility that shows me info about my battery, specifically its health?
Apple :: Can't Boot Straight To XP From OSX
Apr 30, 2009I've actually had trouble with this for some time now, but I can no longer ignore it, so I"m hoping for some help.
When I first installed Windows on my Macbook, I did it via Bootcamp.
After successfully installing, I installed Vmware.
Since then, everything has worked flawlessly. However, one thing that disppeared is the Boot Camp setting within System Preferences. Prior to installing VMware, I remember having the option to select my default boot partition as well as the option to boot into Windows. Now that that has disappeared, the only way to reboot into Windows is to manually restart and hold the Option button and manually selecting the partition of interest.
Rather than starting fresh, is there any fix for this?

Mar 2, 2009I purchased a used macbook pro 2.6 a couple of weeks ago from ebay and it had a screen problem, IMO> anyway I sent it back and got a refund, I just purchased a NEW 2.66 MHz and I'm expecting it at the end of the week, I was impressed how the first mac booted up so fast with OSX so my question is if I had windows XP dual booting would it boot to the windows as fast as it did with the OSX or will the anti-virus slow it down ?

Mar 10, 2009I'm having an issue with Boot Camp. I have a stock base model MBP Alum. Vista was running fine on Boot Camp since I got the machine back in January, but today it crashed. When I tried to reboot into Vista I got two '_' cursor flashes on the top left of the screen then the screen just goes dark. Multiple reboots yielded the same result. Seeing I had my files backed up, I just deleted the Vista partition and tried to perform a reinstall of Vista. However, after I click 'Start Installation' in Boot Camp and the comp restarts - I get the two cursor flashes followed by the black screen again.

View 10 Replies View RelatedApple :: Unibody Macbook - Boot Up
Jun 3, 2009I am having some trouble with my Unibody Macbook. Like a week ago, I began to have issues with my Macbook where after being booted up for a while programs would close and new ones would not open, and I would have to reboot. To me this sounded like a memory issue where there was a bad sector on the memory that was randomly used, which is why there was no pattern to when this problem would show up. It could have started at boot up or after hours of using the computer. It worked like that for a couple of days, and since I decided that it was probably the memory, I would just by 4 gigs of memory to replace these bad ones because I was planning on doing it sooner or later, it just gave me an excuse to do it. Then over the weekend, my mac would no longer boot up. It chimes, and gets to the gray apple boot up screen and then just spins for a while until it turns off. I just put the new 4 gigs in there and that did not fix my problem. Also, for something that it did last week for a couple times, is that when it booted up it would do 3 beeps, which I was told meant a memory issue. I would really like to get this fixed without having to re install the OS or going to the Apple Store.

View 5 Replies View RelatedApple :: Parallels & Boot Camp
Jan 13, 2009I ended up installing Windows XP twice, once for Parallels, and once for Boot Camp. When I open Parallels now, there are two choices, "Microsoft Windows XP" and "My Boot Camp". When I use "My Boot Camp", it seems just like how it would if I would use Boot Camp normally (ie. having the same files like booting up from Boot Camp). When I use "Microsoft Windows XP", it looks like a fresh install with nothing there.
My question is was I supposed to install Windows XP twice? How do I delete the "Microsoft Windows XP" in Parallels? Will everything I do in Boot Camp be affect like in the "My Boot Camp" in Parallels and vice versa?
