Jim, I haven't used Citrix in quite some time. The last time I did, I had NO such problem. In fact I had NO problems at all.

Thanks for sharing your experience.  I should mention that my employer is MAC-phobic and officially doesn't support Macs.  When I spoke with them this morning they tested my logon on their system and didn't have any problems logging in via a PC.  I attempted logging in again a few minutes ago and received the same message.

2009 / any known Citrix issues with MAC

« on: July 18, 2009, 03:44:10 PM »

I have a MacBook v10.5.6 (Intel) and every time I try to log onto my work's Citrix Remote access account I receive the Firefox message stating "Firefox prevented this page from redirecting to another page."  asking if I wish to allow.  This happens three times in quick succession and then performs the log-on.  Is this a known issue with a fix?

Thanks very much for any assistance.

2008 / PowerMac G4

« on: January 28, 2008, 06:38:23 AM »

Thanks very much for all your assistance.  At some point I took a side-track when a friend of mine mentioned that the Apple stores were providing diagnostic testing and answering questions for Macs.  I took the G4 in and the tech there worked it up and had all the problems I had mentioned, and wasn't successful.

I tried zapping the Pram and was at least semi-successful in that I did hear the G4 give 2 chimes (rebooting twice?) during the zap, but this didn't produce any results.

The apple store suggested purchasing an IDE enclosure and try attaching either drives, which I picked up from Microcenter (HD 338D by Coolmax), and have been able to access the 30G drive.  I haven't tried the 3G drive yet.

I'm holding on to the G4 case for now should I have free time on my hands some time in the next decade and want to do a little more investigation.

Thank you to everyone for your support and your patience.  I really appreciate the service you provide, and until next time -

Sounds like the PRAM battery is completely discharged. Leaving plugged in might get it charged enough to boot but I wouldn't trust it, anyway. That little batery has been trying to maintain some memory that holds a few System prefs all this time. If it wasn't plugged in, it sacrificed its little heart for you!

I've just replaced the Pram battery in my PowerMac G4 and disappointment, oh well.  When I opened the PowerMac panel to replace the battery I was reminded that I actually have two hard-drives inside as I pulled the one I had in my IIci many years ago to keep for sentimental reasons.  I found that when I boot to the Maxtor 30G, I receive the picture of the Apple with the spinning donut, and when I boot to the Quantum 3G I receive an icon of a folder with the image of the Finder flashing intermittently with a question mark.  I seem to have had a similar problem a few years ago with the flashing Finder and question mark, but do not remember what the resolution was.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, if the PRAM battery was maintaining System preferences in memory could this have been lost and causing the problem with booting up?

Mochas gracias, Xairbusdriver.  The G4 was stored away, UNPLUGGED, the entire time.  I'll replace the Pram battery and see what happens.  I"ll check Radio Shack as well Paddy, there's one close by, I'm in Boston.  Thanks for that suggestion.

I'll give you an update once I have a chance to get a new battery and fire the G4 up.

When I try to start up a G4 Power Mac I've had for several years, but haven't turned on for over a year, the only thing that comes up on the screen is the picture of the Apple and the wheel that spins around like it's booting up, and never gets past this point.  I tried to reboot the computer using a Mac OS 9 CD and still nothing more occurs.  Should I take this to my local Mac repair or would anyone be able to make any suggestions.

Thanks.

Jim
