Did that, and also a few things on the phone w/ Apple. My local (well not really) apple store/repair center looked at it, there were no signs of physical damage were my fault. My school sent it back to apple for me (still under academic warranty), because their troubleshooting failed as well...

Every time I try to start my powerbook g4, a message comes up in 4 languages that I have to restart my system and won't let me do anything else. It reads : "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the restart button." Its inside of a black box...

Hey there. I dropped my PowerBook G4 15" a few days ago, didn't do any hardware damage but left a nice ding along the front on the bottom, machine still runs as smooth as silk, and I took it to a Mac repair specialist who told me it would run about 400 or so bucks w/ labor to replace the bottom...

I took the advice and downloaed it through IE again and Safari, still the same issue. Thanks so far.

Did that. Installer comes up and says something like "Welcome to the %@ Installer" and nothing works inside of it, and all the information is blank. I've used Installer before and everything worked fine. The file I downloaded is "en_US tryout.sit" right from the adobe website, mac version. Any...

hmmm.....tried that and Installer comes up blank. Any other suggestions? Possible system corruption? File is not corrupt at least I downloaded it from 3 different sources, and all the same effect. Thanks so far though.

Downloaded the Photoshop CS trial in a .sit file, only type I can find. Anyways, after the file is unzipped or unstuffed, the folder comes up with one icon "Install Photoshop CS". I click on the icon and it tells me I need to pick an application to do it with....don't know what application to...

Bought an EHD 80 gig HD w/ case on ebay. Loaded 20 gigs worth of songs, videos, documents, and picture files on it with windows XP via usb2.0. Saved fine, all files will open on windows. Problem: my MAC reads the HD, but every time I go to open a file, the mouse goes to "busy" and the computer...

I found and ran disk utility. The HD is FAT32. The number of files is considered 0 and folders is 0. It is reading that roughly 20 gigs are being used. It says permissions are not enabled and can not turn permissions off. I is not journaled, doesn't support it, and is not bootable. Not sure...

any suggestions?

Oh, and the files are just basic documents, pictures, mp3, mpeg and avi files.

Hey again. I appreciate the feedback. I don't know the format of the harddrive. What happens is my powerbook reads all of the folders and you can get in the folder, but when I try to either open any of them or tranfer them to my hard disk, the system sort of freezes up. The mouse turns to busy...

I didnt take it there yet b/c it only started flashing today. Their open tomorrow, but I'm just trying to see if its something I could possibly fix myself or might be a software or system issue. I have tons of work to do and I really dont want to have to give up my comp for a few days.

I've recently switched to Mac for college. My PowerBook G4 15 inch has been running fine for 2 weeks. I leave my computer, and come back to it. I move the mouse and the screen flashes rapidly. I played around with the display settings and the flashing of the entire monitor will stop after the...
