• iMac G3 tray charger stuck on the gray screen with question mark flashing folder

  I recently bought an iMac G3 (charger tray, 333 MHz, M4984) and when I try to boot from an OS installation disc 10.3, there will remain only blocked on the gray screen with folder flashing with the question mark. Not only it does not maintain the keys C or Option, but it will not start up any combination of keys, such as resetting the PRAM or the NVRAM. It just starts and stays on the screen with the flashing folder does nothing. It CAN read the keyboard, because I can turn on the computer with the keyboard, it just won't start to the top of any disk or any combination of keys. Any ideas on what could be the problem? I just replaced the hard drive, but it was the same before I replaced the hard drive as well. In addition, the iMac had apparently OS 8.6 installed on it when it came, and I think I need to move to OS 9 and do a firmware update before you install OS X (correct me if I'm wrong), but I can not do because the iMac does start not in general of any combination of keys. Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

  It took charger slot, but I think that optional for the bin.  I think that you can upgrade the firmware with 8.6 for trays.

  You may need to reset the PRAM and NVRAM and Mac's Open Firmware. Stop the Mac, then it turns on and before the screen lights up, quickly down the command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac rang twice more after the power to chime.

  Then, before that lights up the screen, hold down the command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware appears. Then enter these lines, and then press return after each of them:

  Reset-nvram

  Configure default

  Reset-all

  "The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings. »

• MacBook Pro will not initialize. Question Mark flashing folder

  -Macbook Pro 13 "Unibody model 2009

  Hi guys,.

  I have been a frequent visitor to the community of support here, but I'm a poster for the first time, so please forgive any lack of post I suffer from the label. I saw this problem here much and seem me to always see the same advice to fix, but I have never seen anyone who treat the same symptoms I had with my camera.

  My question all started when I tried to save something for the reader, and he said to me "you are not allowed to save this destination" (something to that effect). Then it progressed to a question on my Macbook to spontaneous freezing. It would freeze just constantly and I always have to force offshore. When I would try to start the machine up, it's always 50-50 chance that it should start successfully, often welcomed by the famous question mark flashing folder. I constantly by visiting an Apple store for the last year and a half on this topic and after countless visits, they insist that there is no problem that they can find. They always say down to "permission error", problems of BONE that have been resolved by resettlement and a faulty hard drive. I've dealt with them during this period and and still have this machine properly repaired on any occasion. The problem persists always just after I take the machine home and start right away, its still there.

  As time went on this issue, I noticed that the machine would often freezing when moved, for example moved a table at my knees etc. This has some time until that I have raised to clean the table under one day and then tried to do turn on and nothing. The machine refused to start, only to give me the question mark flashing folder. I tried to boot into recovery mode by using CMD - R and tried to reinstall the OSX, I read that it is a common solution, but whenever I start recovery mode "Macintosh HD" is not where. So I can't even try a reinstall of OSX.

  A man IT in my former work place had examined this issue before on another machine, and he said he had replaced the cable of HDD of the machines as the previous was damaged. When toggled, he said that the machine was working fine. It would be logical, as if the cable is already damaged and loose, I'm sure that the movement might just disconnect. I raise this issue because it is of NEVER once offered all the time, I in dealing with this issue and on further investigation in the apple forums and this seems to be a very common problem.

  

  This appeared on a boot up once and never since.

  

  And that's what I see at every boot up to now.

  I'm sorry to bombard all the world with so much information on this subject, but my frustration is quickly turning into madness on this issue, which have no one at Apple after countless visits being able to fix the problem. As it is the main culprit for me, the HARD disk cable, but I would not assume know better that some of you have known many more people.

  Any information or help that guys could pass my way would be greatly appreciated I was apparently no help from Apple repair personnel. If you have read and thought about all this I applaud you and owe you a drink at the mercy.

  Hi Yogi Wynne:

  I agree with your friend IT. Looks like the SATA hard drive cable has problems.

  The inside of your computer is not as smooth on the outside and rubs it hard against the SATA cable and can cause one of the traces in the short cable is causing hard drive problems.

  Here's where you can get a replacement cable, they are very fragile. https://www.iFixit.com/store/Mac/MacBook-Pro-13-inch-unibody-mid-2009-mid-2010-H ard-car-Cable/IF163-013-1

  Here's a video that shows what could happen. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Amg5w0rlwDo

  I might change the SATA cable and see if the problem persists.

• Safari with question marks instead of the text

  Several Web sites in Safari 9.1 showing many points of question marks instead of the text. I just proposed by Apple and done nothing. I have Imac (late 2009) OS X El Capitan 10.11.4.

  Question marks instead of the text is an indication of a problem with fonts.

  Open the book fonts in your Applications folder.

  In the fonts start menu bar click book fonts > Preferences and then click: resolve duplicates by moving the files to the trash

  Quit and then restart Safari to test.

  If this does not help, back to the font book menu bar click file > restore to the Unicode Standard

  Quit and then restart Safari to test.

• Installer of Lexmark printer drivers saved in a folder "c:\Program Files \" (with a space at the end of this one!)

  I have a real problem.

  On my Windows 7 Professional machine somehow is an automatic update of installed Lexmark printer drivers and the installation program saved files
  in a folder names "c:\Program Files \" (with a space at the end of this one!)

  This all happened the day after without seeing me what was going on.

  It seems that the Windows 7 system does not like the folder or file names ending in a 'space' or a 'period' and it will not work with it.

  The side effect is that in some sort the system has copied EACH name on this new folder called sub0folder "C:\Program Files-" and I ended up with TWO files that have the air of the same name (even if we have a space at the edn of it ".

  It isn't really a problem in what I could simply ignore it (the other folder names corrrectly operates always OK). The only problem is that changes to 'Security' affect the TWO files because Windows 7 sees the two folder as the 'same' names when setting security.

  That's why, when I tried to mark the 'bogus' as 'not available' folder to everyone (including the system) it is the same for 'Program Files' (the real one) with disastrous consequences. I had the chance to get out and restore some semb; launched sound mind to my machine.

  But I'm stuck now with this annoying issue with many sub-fdolers (which are all unaccessable because the system cannot locate).

  My question is, how to remove a file that has a 'space' as the last part of his name when Windows Explorer cannot work with it?

  Thanks a lot with no matter what helpf with this very unusual problem.

  If you have the opportunity to make a complete picture of the system of the disc, I would before you try the following... just in case remove the "bad" folder ends up deleting all good also.  Alternatively, rather than remove the directory in the last step below, rename it using a command like

  ren c:\PROGRA~3 c:\badprogs {press Enter}

  If program of the 'real' the files and other directories survive unscathed, and then delete the C:\badprogs in the usual way.

  ******************************************

  In the search box, type cmd, then right click on cmd.exe and select "Run as Administrator".  Give the password when you are prompted.

  Type

  CD c:\  {Press Enter}

  to switch to the root

  Now type

  dir /x {press Enter}

  This will show you a list of directories of names "short form".  You will probably see something like this (from a x 64 Win 7 installation, is why there "Progra ~ 1" and "Progra ~ 2" directories ")

  Directory of c:\

  01/08/2012 13:19

  PROGRA ~ 1 Program Files
  30/07/2012 13:03 PROGRA ~ 2 Program Files (x 86)
  03/07/2012 10:46 users
  30/07/2012 20:16 Windows

  In your case, your directory parasite called or PROGRA ~ 3 (if you have x 64) or PROGRA ~ 2 (if you have Windows 7 32 bit).

  Now that you know the name short, which allows to delete:

  del C:\progra~3 {press Enter}

• Gray boxes with question marks

  When I find some PDF files, a grey box with a red question mark inside appears. I can't move, modify or delete these boxes. I searched on the web and most of the responses indicated that these boxes indicate corrupted images, but my documents have no images. Mine appear at the beginning and end of text blocks. They do not appear in the thumbnail view. I am running Acrobat Professional, version 8.1.

  What are these boxes and how do I get rid of them?

  A screenshot of what I see is attached.

  Robert

  

  A little more information, to ensure the excellent diagnostic monitoring.

  When Acrobat opens a PDF file and it finds the annotations of an unknown type it shows these boxes. How have to disappear (or anything else) is to install a plug-in of specific designed to show them.

  Older versions of Acrobat just show nothing at all.

  Acrobat 5 would show nothing.

  Acrobat 7 would show the boxes.

• Import of Images in the IMAGES folder in the project manager

  Hello. I'm relatively new to Robo help 7, and after reading some documents, I still need help graphic images, please.
  
  I am importing of HTML files in my project.
  In the project manager, under files HTML (topics), I create multiple new folders and import HTML files in each of them.
  
  In doing so, I notice files with the same name in the IMAGES section.
  There is no graphic images in any of these files, however.
  
  I also didn't notice any IMPORT option to the Images section. I don't know how to put graphic images in none of these cases... or even if I can.
  
  Is can someone please tell me where, in my project, I can place the graphic images, so that the imported HTML them files display properly?
  
  No doubt I'm missing something obvious. Thank you! JD
  

  Hello and welcome to the forum.

  No need to relocate your images first, JD.

  On a topic, click on the Insert Image button, or select the picture in the Insert menu. HR will navigate to and select the images from anywhere on your network or hard drive.

  When you select an image (and save the subject? do not know exactly when the image moves!) it is stored in the images directory. He is not in a folder, although it would be a nice feature - but you can move the images to the right folder as they accumulate.

  Try it once — you'll see.

  I hope this helps!
