Issues with First Gen G5's

Hey-
So I might be aquiring a first gen PowerMac G5 for a pretty cheap deal.
First Gen products usually have at least some small issue or bug no matter what the product is.
I was wondering what what they were for the first gen G5's.
Thanks

We've been running over a dozen of the first-generation 2.0GHz DP G5s since they came out and have encountered no chronic issues at all. YMMV. Some of the single-processor G5s have had some issues, which Apple thinks they have solved with the recent firmware updates; since we don't have any, I can't say if that claim is true.

Major heat issues with first gen Macbook Pro

It sure seems like I should be able to find an easy answer for this, but I can't.
I have (I believe) a first generation Macbook Pro. 2ghz processor, 2gb of RAM (maxed), running 10.5.8.
When running streaming videos on it, the temperature gets absolutely out of control. 194-200 degrees (F) for the CPU, and over 120 degrees on the bottom case. This is WITH the fans going at almost 6,000 RPM, and the computer is elevated at the corners in order to allow for airflow underneath.
There's a lot of separation between the top and bottom pieces near the bottom left of the computer (the corner near the Z key), if that means anything. What the heck is happening here, and can I do anything to fix this without spending hundreds of dollars at a repair shop?

Bad Audio Issue on first gen MB

Hello everybody!
I have a first gen MB, 2.0ghz, 2 gb ram, custom 160gb Hitachi HDD, 2,5 years of life. Leopard 10.5.3.
Audio issues:
- sometimes (more often when I have USB devices attached) audio is not recognised at boot. No audio icon in menu bar, no output, nothing in preference pane. Restart solves the problem
- Always when Isight is on (i.e.green light on) Audio crackles and skips horrible (i.e. I can't use skype with isight, or photobooth with itunes).
- Audio skips and crackles often when I am just listening to something (itunes) and doing something else (live web browsing, nothing very cpu or hdd consuming).
It happens whatever software I am using to play audio files (even video files with VLC). It seems a very generalised issue. It started around when I updated to 10.5.2, no sign of getting better today with 10.5.3 (should solve something related to usb and audio).
Any hint, help possibilities? (I have tryed to: repair permissions, repair disk, run every single onyx optimisation, defrag, reset SMC, reset NVRAM) nothing works.
Any help would be much much appreciated, thank you very much.

Stop using Onyx. Don't defrag your hard drive. Both steps are unnecessary and can cause more damage than help. You may be able to solve your audio problems with this article:

Issues with 4th gen ipod touch that I did not have with 1st gen

Got the 4th gen touch, and right away the most annoying thing was the pause in my music when locking/unlocking the ipod. It is a small pause, but nevertheless my 1st gen touch never had this. Is this an issue with all newer ipods or just me?
The battery is also funky, as it will run down to 3% and then the ipod turns off. Plugging in the ipod to charge turns it back on in a few minutes, as expected, but it always shows 40-42% charged when the unlock screen shows up. Do ipods quick charge to 40% from empty in 10 minutes or so?
Are these things fixable by Apple, and would I lose the engraving on the back?
The pause has been with me since I first started using the ipod. The battery issue possibly also, but I recently noticed it. A full reset, without restoring the 1st gens settings did not improve anything.

I can answer a few of these. I don't know about the pause. The battery doesn't surprise me. The new apple devices are infamous for having battery life issues. I don't think there is anything apple can do but if you take it in, you can choose to keep or give up your engraving. Keeping it will extend the repair time by a week or two.

Imessage and other Issues with 3rd Gen iPad

Hi there, just got a 3rd Gen iPad for the mrs and so far it's been great.
However, several rather annoying issues have developed and I can't seem to find the right trouble shooting for it, so I thought I'd try here.
So here they are:
iMessage & facetime don't work
Issue 1- Each time she uses her Apple ID log in for either feature a message "iMessage Activation: Could no sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". I've checked the network settings, I've reset them on the iPad and yet it seems to persist. Her appleID is valid as it works on her iPhone, which is using the same network/Wifi as the iPad, yet the iPad seems to decide it doesn't want to activate. I've signed in on my appleID and the same message seems to appear
Issue 2 - When using apps like Chrome a constant message will appear "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications" every time the app is open. This has been done, it's been backed up and it has connected to iTunes, yet these messages still pop up each time chrome is opened.

I also am having issues with my ipad mini as far as imessage . sometimes it works fine . Sometines I receive ok but it hangs on sending . i have tried everything . I think the apple server is a mess Most times I can only send If i am replying to a message i received . If i try to start a message it hangs . No reason found

Cellular reconnectivity issues with 3rd Gen iPad 3G/4G/LTE

I've read a few other threads regarding a reconnection issue with the new (3rd Gen) iPad. I'm creating a discussion so people can put there thoughts here regarding the issues they are having with reconnection of cellular data connections.
I have AT&T 64B iPad Gen 3 with 4G/LTE. Black. Works just fine on wifi and my LTE screams at home and work. Faster than my cable at home. I have noticed something behavior regarding data connection when it's lost (like in a tunnel). I ride DC Metro to work and go through a few tunnels. Of course, my data connection drops in the tunnels. When I come back out the indicator on the iPad indicates 5 bars signal and LTE again. Problem is the data connection isn't there, no matter what app I try. I even get a popup window say my cellular data plan has not been activated (huh?). This isn't true since I am on, and have been using a plan. It does this whether it's 4G or LTE reconnection. Not sure about 3G because I haven't seen 3G icon popup on this iPad yet.
I'm thinking this may be an authentication issue? Else, why would it popup that warning? Anyway, all I do is is go into settings turn cellular data off and back on again and everything is fine.
I'm guessing that there could be a software fix for this in the future as there are quite a bunch of people having this problem with reconnection to cellular.
Please post your issues here in this discussion if you have this problem. Maybe we can figure something out.

I have the same iPad (3rd gen, 4G ATT, 64GB, Black). When it arrived last Friday, everything seemed to work fine, except the cellular data connection. It would constantly drop, and I had to toggle cellular data off and back on to get it back. Also, I was getting really slow speeds (on cellular data only - wifi works fine). I tried some simple fixes (restarting, resetting the network settings, restoring), but I kept having the problem. I finally made an appointment at the Genius Bar, and they immediately gave me a new iPad, saying "it could be a bad antenna." Here is the bad news. Even with the replacement, the connection seems to drop less often, but it still drops. The part that concerns me most is that the data speeds on my iPad are considerably slower than on my iPhone 4S when I test them in the exact same spot (I use the Speed Test app). So on my iphone, I get speeds around 3 Mbps, and on the iPad, I get speeds of less than 1Mbps. I can't see any logical reason that the 3rd gen iPad would not get at least as good or better data speeds as an iPhone 4S. The fact that I have now had two 3rd gen iPads with cellular data problems concerns me. However, it is very hard to tell if this is a software, hardware, or network issue. The fact that my iPhone is running the same update of iOS (5.1), and has no problems would seem to eliminate the software and network as causes, but I can't really be sure. I am going to watch the posts in the support communities for another day or two and then head back to the Genius Bar. Overall I love the new iPad, but this has been a real downer.

Are there compatibility issues with 1st gen I pad and new wireless printers?

Need to replace HP printer being used with 1st Gen I Pad. Are there any compatibility issues with new wireless printers?

Hello jxroads,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are going to replace your printer and would like more information on what printers are supported for AirPrint. The attached article has a list of AirPrint printers currently supported for iOS devices.

Syncing issues with 6th gen Nano

Hi,
Not sure this should be an iTunes specific question of a Nano 6G one, I plumped for this one anyway.
My Nano seems to have problems fully syncing playlists of either kind. I am trying to sync a handful onto it and having the following issues.
1) To Listen - Peel. This is a smart playlist with a single word keyword specification. This one syncs fine.
2) To Rate. This is a complicated smart playlist with all the music I have listened to, want to keep but still have to rate. There are 7 rules in all and within iTumes the playlist shows up 73 songs. Only 1 song is shown on synced playlist on my Nano however.
3) 2011 Compilations. I put together standard playlists every couple of months with best music of the year. Within my iTunes the structure is as follows:
5 - Years & Decades/ 2010s / 2011 / Compilations / then you have the standard playlists, 6 in all which are named 2011-1, 2011-2 etc. there are 88 tracks in these playlists in total.
I try and sync them and when navigating through it on my Nano it follows the structure above to 2011. It doesn't have the others though, no Compilations and no individual playlists. It means they are all grouped together as a single playlist rather than the 6 they should be.
And..... just to add another level of bizarre behaviour, within this group above are around 43 of the missing To Rate tracks (2) which show here but not in the playlist they are meant to be in. This is not all of them of course, around 30 To Rate tracks don't sync anywhere.
I am running the latest version of iTunes and the Nano firmware. Incidentally when I look at the content of the nano through Devices it suggests that the content should be exactly as I have defined it, on the actual Nano it's not the case. I have tried restoring the Nano but the same results are produced.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
C.

Since I posted this, I had lunch with a friend who is more knowledgeble about these things, and he answered 2 of 3 as follows:
1) Apparently with new Nano (6 or 7 Gen), you don't need to power off completely, putting in sleep mode or letting it go to sleep mode (with track stopped or pause) is sufficent and does not burn up battery life. If you do this, rather than shutting Nano off completely, it does resume where you left off.
2) More Clock faces (and other upgrades) are available in 1.2 firmware upgrade which can be downloaded from Apple.
3) Issue with clock face not staying on, or with Nano being susceptible to command changes from pressing against while in pocket, etc, he believes there must be a lock function, but have not yet figured this out,

Are 3g chargers backwards compatible with first gen iphone?

so i know that older chargers don't seem to work on the 3g iphones, but are the newer chargers backwards compatible with the 2g iphones?
i was thinking of getting some after market wall & car chargers for my first gen iphone, but i rather buy ones made for the 3g iphones just incase i upgrade soon (and i don't want to repurchase the chargers)
anyone know?

well I'm aware that certain first gen chargers won't work with the 3G, but i've come across this 3g car charger which specifically states it's not compatible with a first gen iphone. strange.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=108&cp_id=10831&cs_id=1083105&pid=4871&seq=1&format=2
unfortunately it doesn't say if it's the same case with their 3g wall charger.

Video playback issue with 3rd gen iPod Touch

Hi all,
I just recently discovered an issue with my iPod touch 3rd generation video playback. The issue just reared its head today and I have no idea what I could've done to cause it. It's a small issue but frustrating enough to cause a problem.
If I watch a video normally (by opening up the Videos section and picking it), it'll play through to the end, then start over again, then stop. This only happens if I choose videos randomly, and doesn't happen if I play videos in a playlist.
What could be the issue?

I'll second that. I've been having the same problem since the last software update

Syncing issues with 1st Gen. AppleTV

Hello, having syncing issues with my 1st generation ATV. It just keeps filling up until it is full regardless of the settings.
I have set it for only the last 5 unwatched for tv, movies, etc. and then I have changed every movie and tv show, etc to unwatched and it still puts everything on my AppleTV until it is full.
I have turned off syncing and then back on again. It fills back again. Yesterday I restored it to factory settings, did the updates, turned on syncing with the 'last 5 unwatched' settings again and same result. How the **** do you keep it from filling up with all of your media? I just can't figure it out. Must be missing something. Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide some insight on this. -DR
It does it with all versions of iTunes. I have the most current at the moment (11.0.1)

Hello Winston, thanks. I have tried none selected and only one selected to try to narrow down what is happening. Same result.
As far as it being full I am looking at the multi-colored bar at the bottom that shows what is on it and what percentage of each (tv shows, audio, etc.).

Troubles with first Gen ipad

Hello all,
I just received a first generation ipad and I'm having a few problems with it. The ipad was sitting in an office drawer for a long time. Today, I plugged it into an ipad charger, and it was charging super slow (after about 6 hours, was at 13%).
I brought it home and plugged it into my new ipad wall wart, and now it doesn't seem to be charging at all. I've tried several cables, and nothing.
Second issue: It got to the connect to iTunes screen, but my computers won't recognize it. Tried my mini running Lion and also my vista laptop.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

Have the latest iTunes on windows. Mac still need to update, but its still only one version old.
I'm sure the port is clean but ill check again tomorrow.
In the meantime, any other possible solutions?
Just a little update, it does seem to be charging again when plugged into a wall. Again, it is charging very slowly. Also, when its charging, the battery symbol isn't showing that its charging at all.

Printing issues with first page, only prints part of page

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but I figured i would give it a shot:
I have a computer running parallels with an OSX supported (and windows supported) HP printer. When I am printing an email from Outlook Express, the first page gets cutoff, but all of the other pages are fine. the cutoff happens on the right hand side.
I recently updated to SP3 and IE8, which I have heard controls the settings for Outlook.
I have tried using a regular printer, and also tried CUTE PDF writer, which also "prints" the document in the same manner.
Any thoughts would be appreciated or if you know where to go for support that would be great too
Thanks!

Remote issues with 2nd gen Apple TV. (locking up)

When using 2nd gen Apple TV with provided remote, I can only scroll through items or use on-screen keyboard for a few moments at a time, and then the remote seems to lock up. After a few seconds, I can move around again, but the cycle continues.
I can type a few words with on-screen keyboard or scroll through a handful of items at a time before the remote seems to lock up and not allow me to move around.
