Freezing after updating with a Sonnet 1.35 GHz card on a Sawtooth

yesterday I’ve installed (quickly & easily) a Sonnet Encore ST (1.35 GHz) card in my G4 Sawtooth (400 MHz). The Power Mac booted with no apparent problem as soon as the Mac was closed and switched on, with everything... from the OS to my usual programs running much faster and better.
However, since then it has also started to freeze at random, it happened once on Saturday and then 3 times today... the first time my wife was opening a couple of .doc files with Open Office, and then it was while browsing with either Safari or SeaMonkey, also always with Folding@home on and the last couple of time with Temperature Monitor open... and the temperature (of the hd only, od course) was either 33 or 34° C in both cases, meaning (I guess) the problem is neither overheating nor me running programs too demanding. And apart from these 3 freezings the Mac has been on and working most of the day without any other problem...
The card is used, but the previous owner told me he never had such problems... however he has been using the card first on a Power Mac G4 Digital Audio and later on a Quicksilver... maybe it’s the different bus speed of the Sawtooth causing these freezing problems?
However both in the instructions and on the case it’s clearly stated the cpu can be used on Sawtooth too...
When the Power Mac freezes I can only restart pushing the button on the tower... both the mouse and the keyboard are dead... and then it restarts incredibly fast and I can start working again... it takes a couple of minutes in all, but of course it’s still rather annoying, and I’d like to fix it.
The chap who gave me the card told me I should possibly reset the motherboard... any idea if it will work, and if yes, how can I do it?!?

is it safe (for the cpu, I mean) opening the Power Mac when it's on? Or I should boot with leaving the door open?!? However I have just powered the Mac on, left it alone for 20 min with only Folding@home running, come back, open 2 windows on SeaMonkey... and the computer froze when closing down one window, and it took 3 restarts to boot this time: first time it just stuck at the grey screen with the darker shade of grey apple in the middle (with a strange grey horizontal line just over and left from the apple), 2nd restart it booted up to the desktop view, the mouse was working but I couldn't do anything apart from moving it around the screen, 3rd time is now... I don't think it's overheating (but still...). Thanks for the help.

Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue?

After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue? I did the audio troubleshooting and it says everything is fine. I have a Toshiba Satellite L75D-A7280.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

Go here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and report it with as much detail as possible.

After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

IPod keeps crashing after updated with IOS 4.2 Beta

The iPod keeps crashing going back to the main screen with my iPad after updated with IOS 4.2 beta 2. Any solution? Anyone has the same issue?

You will probably get several comments from some of the developers that hang out here about moving the question to the developer's forum. Not many of those using the Betas will comment on them on here due to non-disclosure agreement with Apple.

I have a MDD dual 1.25ghz processors and I would like to know which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Seria ATA pci card?

Which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card?

Pretty much any of the SATA 3.0 Gbps drives.
Western Digital Black and Blue and Hitachi 7K drives are all good choices.
If you try a SATA 6.0 Gbps drive, it will need to be jumped to limit to SATA 3.0 Gbps.

Video Freezes after Update to 1.1

Video freezes after 20 seconds of play and then resumes with no audio after upgrading to 1.1.
From what I've read, this seems to be a problem when video has been converted using a third party software. It seems at this point, the only way to remedy the situation is to downgrade to 1.0. Here's how to do it without having to restore your ipod:
http://www.digg.com/apple/Howto_downgrade_to_older(iPod)firmware_WITHOUTrestoring
Just as a note, I called applecare and my technician was clueless about the problem. She was telling me to send it in, but I'm fairly certain that this isn't a hardware problem, just a problem with the upgrade, as people on many other forums are reporting it. In that case, you probably won't get much help calling customer service just yet. Hopefully they'll put a fix out for it soon.

Hi,
I had the same problem and downgraded to the lower version. now the video works without any problem, but there seems to be another problem. when I want to eject the ipod from itunes, I get a message, that the iPod cannot be ejected because data on the iPod is currently used by an external program...
any idea...?

UPDATE: AFTER RESTARTING THE PC IT WORKED WITHOUT PROBLEMS!

Applications keep freezing after updates are installed...

My MacBook (Santa Rosa model) cannot seem to run any applications with out having them freeze every few clicks. It happened after updating from 10.5 to 10.5.6, with quite a few other updates installed at the same time as well. This happens to pretty much every application I run. What should I do?

Try downloading the Mac OS X 10.5.6 combo updater and install it.

TS5192 After updating with 4.09 my photos which I store on an external hard drive will load into Aperture for 15 or so photos and then I just get the same photo repeating despite clicking on a different one in the group. I have to stop working and come b

After installing the 4.09 fix to process RAW from Sony RX100 (after updating to 3.5.1), photos do not continue to load into Aperture from the external hard drive where they are referenced. The same photo is stuck in the adjustments frame to be worked on and the photos will not advance, no matter what I try, so i can work on the next one. I can only work on a few at a time and then i have to go away and come back another day. 4.09 does fix the barrel distortion but it has completely gummed up the uploading of the referenced photos. It's taking me days and weeks to process a couple of hundred photos.

The Macbook Air is a low end Macintosh for graphics apps and you are asking it to perform a heavy pro workflow using a pro application. The integrated GPU of MBAs is a serious limiter to heavy graphics. Personally I would expect flaky performance with certain operations. In general I recommend that Aperture users choose boxes with independent GPUs and capable of taking 16 GB RAM if necessary.
It will be important to carefully optimize workflow. How much RAM is in the MBA? The most Apple specs is 8 GB but you can check OWC to see if you can go to 16 GB. My Aperture/Photoshop workflow paged out at 8 GB RAM before I upgraded to 16 GB RAM.
You should evaluate whether or not you have adequate RAM:
Look at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical Aperture/Photoshop work session and write the number down. Recheck the Page Outs count after working for a few hours and write the number down again. If the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved.
Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor because they can be misleading regarding RAM usage. For RAM analysis, manually count page outs before and after a work session.
