iMac G5 (May 2005) with no OS installed; be filled of original discs.
An elderly parent somehow erased its iMac G5 20 "completely. It has the original OS that came with the computer disks. I want to reinstall the OS to the original disks but may not know how to do this. When I turn the machine on it beeps a few times, the screen stays black (with, of course, no OS). The installation DVD disc (1 of 2) does not remain in the slot. Only, I don't know how to reinstall. What am I missing, and what is the procedure in a situation like this?
If there are three or less beeps, either there is a problem with the RAM or the disc you are using is too old. Is there are four or more, the computer must be repaired.

You want to re - install Windows 7, no original disc!
Hello, I recently bought a Veriton L670G opportunity for our family of PC.
It seems to be a compact and very nice unit.
I would like to do a clean install of Win 7 Professional on a new hard drive but has no installation disc.
The base of the unit has what appears to be a COA ACER original and in good condition for Win 7 Pro, but I have purchase Acer problems required media.
After several online "chats" with ACER, I paid about 51GBP and received a CD containing only of FreeDOS.
There is clearly something that I'm either wrong or I am providing erroneous data. I have provided the serial number of the BIOS Veriton case labels info and photo of the ACER Microsoft COA.
The Microsoft web site will not help as they say that it is the responsibility of the ACER as OEM. No doubt, Microsoft acknowledges the number of COA as having come from ACER. The COA label has ACER clearly on this.
ACER support chat tell me that the machine was initially delivered with FreeDOS but the tag box is clearly for Win 7.
Still no Acer said that my COA is not legitimate, so I'm at a loss to know how I can provide me with a legitimate system of re - install.
Is it possible to create media complete re-installation of my ongoing Win 7 OS? I don't see a way to do short to take a ghost of thesystem partition copy.
Useful suggestions (other than the purchase of a copy of the retail of a BONE) are welcome.
Thanks in anticipation,

Photoshop CC 2015 is causing huge problems on my iMac with El Capitan installed.
Photoshop CC 2015 is causing huge problems on my iMac 5 K with El Capitan installed. It feels like most of the actions are running with 5 to 10 images by Mithraeum. It's not smooth. Really rough when you try to move objects in a photoshop document.
Moreover, I need to hold my finger on the left button of the mouse, then release it after 1-2 seconds to get the optional tools like paint bucket, healing brush and other things. Before you installed El Capitan, it was just like this: hold down the mouse button and drag the tool you want to select. This implies a bug.
Hi hemdabella,
Please try and reset the Photoshop preferences.
Steps to follow:
To re-create the Photoshop preferences files, start the application while pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file?"
Let us know if that helps.
Kind regards

I get an error when I try to install my Lightroom 4 upgrade on my iMac 10.8.2 with a dvd. The error that says "failure of the facility, contact the manufacturer." That I'm doing, but have been waiting for more than an hour. This is ridiculous. Everyone?
I never install software from DVD personally. It has usually exceeded and require the upgrade anyway. I just downloaded the latest version online.

Work very well iMac 27 mid-2011 with 4MEM error code
Hi, I have an iMac 27 inches, mid-2011 with 4 GB installed original (Elpida so-DIMM) so I improve it with 4 new 4 GB Kingston (ram value) KVR1333 PC3-10600 1333 Mhz DDR3 DIMMS for a total of 16 GB, after that my iMac works very well for three years with the daily use of any question and everything seems normal in "about this Mac" and in the "memory" tab no software issues no kernel panic , anything with a strange behavior, until three years after the upgrade memory, now I run AHT because the other reason (I can't work with a new MBP Mid 2012 airdrop both with El Capitan OS X) and it shows me a 64/4MEM/40000000: 0x8893cb98 error code, I reset the NVRAM and SMC, and same result AHT , so use MemTest86 from a V6.3.0 of bootable CD (full test upward at the end time spent 23 hours) and V4.3.7 showing no error in the two tests, also I ran mdsched.exe RAM Memory Sticks Checker windows (I have Windows 7 64 bit family Premium installed in bootcamp) and no ram detected error.
While I should care that error? should I change my Ram modules?
Thanks in advance
You have a faulty memory card or the slot. That's what the error means generally. Make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar for the service. If you need a Apple Store - find a store - Apple.

E531 update the Bios with WIndows 10 installed?
Is it possible to update the BIOS with 10 Windows installed on E531?
I don't see W7, W8, and XP
Yet once, have solved this problem, I thought I would share with others who may have the same or similar issues.
I was able to update the BIOS on my Windows 10 install with upgrade download BIOS in Windows 8. Simply install as you normally would, and be patient for the machine to install. Installation BIOS itself is a little funky; I saw the screen go completely white for a while without message about progress or anything like that. But ultimately it ends and works well.
