A kernal panic normally points to RAM.. you could try to re-set the Ram. A flashing Q normally points to the HD.. yes no OS installed but also a failed HD. It it mounts and allows you to partition.. it seems to be working! You do have a problem with the DVD drive so you can't try to install via...

Do you get the spinning grey icon at all. Could it be possible your hard drive is FULL? When did you insert the DVD? Try booting and holding down alt, apple, O, F, (four keys, open firmware) a grey screen of text appears type in "reset-nvram" and hit return the type in "reset-all" (without...

Thanks for that ... And Apple state.. "A single Affordable Pack".. but no price!

My research shows you need Leopard already installed to get Snow Leopard for the expected price of $29. This is an upgrade. You have to buy the Snow Leopard, iLife, iWork, Box Set if your instaling from Tiger (previous OSX). Still cannot determine if this box set can be used as a CLEAN install.

Have you changed the RAM at any time or tried to re-seat it. If not take it out and put it back. If you have an option of putting another piece in do so. Kernal panics are associated with RAM as well as HD's but if you are getting no errors on the HD does not point to that.

Not sure if you would get hold of older versions of USB sticks they are now at 16Gb stage. Also not familiar with which OS they do and do not work with. You do not have to do Migration Assisitant but you could use a Firewire cable to link the eMac to the Macbook (hold the T key and start the...

You could purchase a New or 2nd hand Tiger 10.4.0, or Leopard 10.5.0 retail discs from Apple, eBay or Amazon and install the OSX without a problem. You need 876mgz min to install Leopard. I was under the impression Snow Leopard is an upgrade to Leopard... my thoughts were you need Leopard...

All the new Intel iMacs have FW800 most of the previous 1.8ghz and 2.0ghz (White)models are FW400 I beleive. You can get an adapter to link your 400 ports to 800. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3503

WOW.. ironic, heading to (near) Newcastle for a weekend break, Tynemouth,.. http://www.tyne-photos.co.uk/tynemouth/4.htm The turret flat on the right.. WON'T hit the Newcastle town Center LOL These are from China, ok, maybe not top dog but like my first post.. I have 4Gb and 8Gb (maybe 6 of...

Hi Mr ElDia..., Firstly must I say your contribution to the Mac fraternity via this site is unprecedented and I hope is appreciated worldwide.. I for one, thank you for being there. If I ever get to Texas, (far cry from Leeds, England) I will look you up and buy you a beer! In my haste to add...

Could be your hard drive is too full. If there is not enough space for your OS to function it won't get there. Rule of thumb is always leave 10% free. Also if you have failed to run disk permission repairs etc for a while anything could be corrupt. At this stage I suggest.. get hold of another...

If you only had 1GB of hard drive space free THAT without doubt is your problem. The fact now that yuo cannot access your drive is a direct result from the lack of space. It is my understanding that when most copying functions occur there is a duplicate made so just in case of corruption yuo...

If you have done a complete clean install (erase and install) and the spinning is still there sounds like either a failing MotherBoard or Hard Drive. The lines also point to the MB. But Pull down menu on Safari would relate to software in my opinion. Have you run Disk Utility on the drive? If...

I have purchased two (from different places) 16Gb Flash drives. Ok they are "no name" but never had probs with the 4GB and 8Gb before like this. When I get to about 4GB of copied items they stop, saying I have "no user access priveledges. Then they won't empty.. or allow anything to trrash...

You may want to take the back off and look at the capacitors on the motherboard. If you see any of the tops bulging (they should be perfectly flat) or any brown crud coming out of any of them... your motherboard is on its way out. known fault with original G5's, 17in and 20in.

I have had Time Machine Running on a Seagate 250GB Hard Drive with two partitions for 10 months. It got full and I needed to start afresh as it would not keep a constant back up. I deleted the main partition and set Time Machine going. If failed after 20GB of 180GB. after looking into the...

Doctor X.. Although you didn't get an 'A+'.. take the rest of the day off instead! Jimbo

DeltaMac.. GO TO THE TOP OF THE CLASS!!! Replaced the IDE cable attaching the HD and Motherboard and it has started Three times from different SOFTWARE RESTARTS without a hitch.. TOP MARKS! I could not really see any thing wrong with the cable but if I was to be picky.. I could say the...

Doctor X.. sorry should have been more specific ie "Q".. it's the classic Flashing question mark at start up.
