IMac G5 will not load into recovery mode

I have a 2005/2006 IMac G5. I started it yesterday, after a few years in the area. He started well, so I ran the updates. After the system shuts down, it has not restarted. When I turn it on it come to la? and file screen. I tried both Internet recovery mode and recovery mode, but it ends finally in the? and file screen, the screens of recovery mode to jump. I have an external hard drive with time machine back ups. When I restart with the hard drive attached and hold down option, a screen with a return of arrows and an arrow appears, but no hard drive does not appear above them. Any help is appreciated

There is no recovery or recovery Internet in Mac G5. You can install the system is Leopard (10.5) and this can be done from the installation discs. The system initially installed a Tiger (1.04), once again, the only installable from installation discs. Either type of installation disc can be started from to perform an audit on the hard disk in disk utility. You cannot start from the Time Machine disk because it does not contain an operating system.

Your first step is to boot from the floppy to install for any system you have installed - insert the floppy disk, and then restart holding + command + c. When it is loaded (which will take some time) go to the Utilities menu and choose disk utility: run the ERD. If it is able to correct any errors, you should then try to install from the disc.

  • Internal HD will not rise in Recovery Mode

    I have an MBA who said that I had to repair the disk 11'.  Easy fix right?  So I restarted the computer and enter in Recovery Mode, to make a repair in disk utility and the HD is grayed out.  I can't select it, nothing.  I ended up installing El Capitan and during the installation he completed repairs, but I still can't get to HD in repair mode.  The computer starts and works fine otherwise.  I must stress that the HD is a secondary market Transcend that we replaced a year ago.  Now my client wants to wipe the computer and give it to a family member, but like I already said I can't make a clean wipe and install via the recovery mode.  Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    I am posting this from my laptop.

    Whenever I try to start my office, I gives me the options to start windows normally, last good configuration, safe mode, etc. known. None of these work. Upstairs, he asked that I get my Windows restore disk, reboot and repair. Well, that works either, because I was not able to load ANY media on my computer for a while now. I don't know how it happened, but since I have never really used the CD for nothing, I paid little attention to her. Now, I'm screwed. I can do to fix this without having to replace anything?

    I have my laptop set to this mode on battery power:

    Turn off monitor: after 5 minutes
    Turn off hard disks: after 10 minutes
    Standby: after 15 minutes
    Hibernate: after 30 minutes

    However, I don't know if the system goes to sleep, if the hard disks are turned off or hibernate if she is asleep. This sequence will actually happen? Or should I only select one of them (according to the monitor) and let others like ever (except for the screen)?

  • Mac will not load some web pages but works in safe mode

    Hello

    I am trying to solve the following problem...

    MacBook Pro with 10.11.3 will not load some web pages (booking.com people.com are just a few). Browser will not make a difference.

    Looked around the discussions and tried a few remedies but without success. for example, change the dns data, site reset or 8.8.8.8.8 create a new user and I have tried several different networks.

    All the site will load in safe mode.

    Thank you guys!

    If they load in Safe Mode, then it is a third-party plug-in or software blocking sites while not in Safe Mode.

    Do you have the third-party antivirus or firewall? Do you have any unknown third party plugins or extensions?

    Open the Finder, click go > go to folder, copy and paste the following and click on Go

    ~/Library/Internet plug-Ins

    This is where your plug-in user. By default, this folder must be completely empty, so anything here has been added either by you or with 3rd party software that has been installed. You can move anything in this folder on the desktop and then try with your sites. If this works, your choice in their folder one by one until it doesn't. Remove the problem and it redownload only if you really need.

    The error message is not known to me and also looking in google didn t get advice.
    Maybe your Windows operating system is confusing upward.

    Have you tried to boot Win 7 in safe mode?
    Try this. Restart your laptop, press the F8 key.
    In advanced startup options, select the option called Mode without failure.

    If the laptop does not start Safe Mode, try the last good known Configuration option.

    If this n t help, try to fix my computer. Here, you can choose between different settings.
    Who could solve that problem is HARD drive recovery that helps you define the notebook to factory settings. But it also means that your disk should be formatted!

    So be aware of this!

  • Windows XP will not load past the Blue error screen

    Hi, wondering for a while if someone can help me...

    My xp system will not load past the Blue error screen that is displayed when the computer stopped suddenly or inadequate.

    No matter what are the measures that you choose to take (safe mode, the most recent configurations... etc) the system will just beyond the blue screen on the windows logo download page, where the loading bar moves about 10 seconds before returning to the blue loading page.

    So far I have tried to leave the computer as long as an unused months while I was abroad, remove the battery for varying amounts of time and leaving the computer as long as a day.

    In the absence of a recovery disk, I have no idea how to do to return to the form and would like to receive advice or suggest, keeping in mind I'm not a computer genius (if had'nt you may have guessed). Preferably, without losing my element pictures and videos stored on the hard drive, but it's just preference.

    Hello

    It does not seem good friend if the Windows operating system does not start even using safe mode, then I don t think you will be able to run the operating system without new OS reinstallation. :(

    To back up data from the HARD drive I recommend that you connect the internal HARD drive to external USB HDD controller and a backup of the HARD drive on another computer.

    Then you could try to reinstall the operating system on your laptop using the Toshiba Recovery CD

  • Air iPad - iTunes does not recognize the recovery mode because it detects that the device is locked with a password

    Well I'm really frustrated here. I have an iPad Air that I bought for my roommate who unfortunately passed away in October, and so his family gave me his iPad Air and all the other things I had bought for him.

    Here's the question. iTunes appears whenever I turn it on and says he can't go because its locked with a password. Good not much according to Apple's site, I reboot into recovery mode... Problem is... nor iTunes 11 or 12 will be pop - up and say its been detected in recovery mode, even if I restart the computer and then reopen iTunes.

    What I'm missing here? I am running Windows 8.1, the computer recognizes that its been plugged with two modes... It is the thing of most frustrating I've ever lived and I can't do it in recovery unless its connected to the computer. I tried pressing the home key, which starts just the iPad as usual, as soon as I fix the cord. Also, I don't know what version of the software is (I guess 7 since he never really used) - apparently different versions of the software have different recovery quirks.

    I tried the DFU instructions and powers of the iPad on the same before Apple logo the first 3 seconds that you are supposed to hold down the power button.

    I am disabled and home because of the panic and anxiety so go to the Apple store isn't something that would be easy for me so if anyone has a solution, I'm all ears.

    It was easier to make a gold card HTC that is to delete this thing and that says a lot, considering the amount of work went into those back in the day...

    One last thing. iTunes will NOT open if the iPad is already connected. I have to unplug it, forcing iTunes close then reopen.

    Post edited by: Saeren

    You should try to do a hard reboot on the air of the iPad, press and hold the power button and the home button until the apple logo appears.

    My computer turns off during an update to windows xp and now windows xp will not load.  It gives me the option of last known good configuration and safe mode startup and normal startup, but it just goes back to the loading screen then flashes a blue error screen then back to display boot options.  I don't have a recovery disc as the laptop does not have a CD-ROM drive or a floppy drive.  I have the product key, but I don't know where or how repair the operating system.

    Contact the manufacturer of your laptop as there must be a way to restore the computer. There may be a hidden restore partition.
