Mac g5 wont start led light blinks once every 7 sec

I tried to put in a dvd driver from a hp computer

  • Paul Bade Jul 20, 2012

    You've probably already figured out drivers for an HP (intel processor) won't work on a G5 (Power PC processor). I'm not sure how this puts your computer to sleep; I think that's a separate problem. Just to make sure, did this happen the very next time you started the computer, or right after you installed the driver? How did you get the driver installed?

Hold down the power button until the computer shuts off. The press the button to restart and see what happens. There are several different ways to startup. immediately upon hearing the boot tone, press and hold the shift key to boot in safemode. If this fails as well, then you will need to boot with the install CD. This is done by immediately pressing holding the C key upon powerup

SOURCE: miniDV to DVD

Do you have Final Cut Pro? If not which editing system do you have. Imovie may do the trick. You need to import the video onto the computer and then process it and export it to DVD via a program that has that capability such as Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express (I believe that will do it, too).

Hope this helps!

SOURCE: I have a Mac G5 using Quark 7 on OS10.4

You should be able to if you are using quark license administrator as QLA uses the ethernet address commonly known as the MAC address and this is hard wired on the computer and not the hard drive to verify the license.

Testimonial: "Thanks I will now attempt to install Quark on my new hard drive. V."

I have problem with remote control, my remote control gives me blue light to switch the dashboard on but there is no lights coming on the dashboard. what is the problem

Hi, your remote has probably lost its coding. If you have the owners manual check page 65 learning additional remotes. If not do the following 1. Plug in the 6 pin hopped coded plug to control unit under drivers seat. 2. Press unlock button twice to disarm. 3. Press learn button on hopped coded plug. this erases all pre learnt codes. The led on dash should start blinking once per sec. 4. Press learn button on hopped coded plug again. The led on dash remains on for 4 sec. and then starts blinking faster. Ensure to do step 5 within 25 sec. 5. Press any button thrice on your remote that has a problem. 6. In response led on dash remains on for 4 sec and then blinks once per sec.This indicates that the remote has been learnt. Hope this helps.

Are they Long Beeps? Does the RED led light on the front show up?
If there is no RED led light blinking, then the problem is your RAM.
If there IS a RED led Light showing up, then the problem is your Power Supply.

Computer and monitor will not turn. blinking power light 3x

This is just an off-chance thing. The three lights could indicate a failed or badly seated memory chip.
Turn the Mac off and remove the side. Remove the perspex panel and then remove the grey plastic panel containing the 2 large fans (it just pulls out towards you).
You now have access to the RAM sticks. Use the illustrations on the inside of the Aluminium door to identify the sticks and so that you can remove and re-seat them. Refit the fans and the perspex panel and see if the mac will start up. If not, you may have to try extra RAM (depending on how much you have installed). These macs have their RAM installed in matching pairs so if you have only 2 stick in your Mac then you need to get 2 more in order to eliminate the first 2.
Report back if that helps.

Paper light is on but not blinking, wont print

Sounds like a communication error somewhere between the printer and your hardware. You might need to update the driver. Go to the manufacture's website and put the model number of your printer in to get the latest driver. There might also be a driver specifically for your Mac there.

My dual layer DVD burner wont read any media

When was the last time you cleaned the dust out of the laser head? Or your PC, for that matter? Just asking.

There are cleaner disks that work sometimes, or you can go in with a cleaner foam swab with a little alcohol on it. Worth a try.
