Mac OS X 10.4.11 disables 2nd CPU (G4) ?

After installing 10.4.11, my Power Mac G4 Dual 500 MHz restarts, sleeps and wakes up okay. However, when it wakes up, the second G4 chip (CPU 2) is always shown "disabled". I have to re-enable it using the Activity Monitor or Processor Preference Pane or simply restart the whole thing; otherwise, the Mac will be very "slow" because only CPU 1 is active after wake-up.
Anyone has the similar situation? Why the 2nd G4 CPU is disabled every time when the Mac wakes up after sleeping? Is it because
of the 10.4.11 update?

Hello,
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

Flash player 11.1 hack on PowerPC - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16990862
Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: For PPC Macs: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

How do i set up my kindle to receive audio books? Is there a MAC filter? it must be disabled and I dont know how to do this

how do i set up my kindle to receive audio books? Is there a MAC filter? it must be disabled and I dont know how to do this

By default, any type of MAC filtering is disabled on the AirPort base stations ... unless, of course, you or someone else enabled it.
If it is enabled, to disable it, you would use the AirPort Utility.
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup > AirPort > Access Control tab > MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled

Hello, j2isgr8.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPad is disabled and not recognized in iTunes. Here are the troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this scenario.

2nd CPU not recognized on Compaq Proliant 1500

I have x86/2.6 running on a dual CPU Compaq Proliant 1500, but it's not recognizing the 2nd CPU. (verified with mpstat)
Does anyone know how to convince x86 to initialize the 2nd CPU?
Thanks in advance!
David

Saw your post at http://forum.sun.com/profile.jsp?user=10948. I was having the exact same problem with the EXACT same hardware and I got the solution for you too. No charge! :-)
I contacted Compaq support and got a REAL sharpy on the phone. Compaq EISA config has an undocumented feature called 'Advanced'. To turn on the second CPU in Compaq ROM, follow these steps.
Start EISA config.
To use the 'Advanced' feature, merely hit 'CTRL-A' at the EISA config main menu.
Run configure system.
When it is done, go into Edit Details and scroll down until you see a line item called APIC.
It probably says DISABLED.
Highlight it and hit the ENTER key.
At that point, you'll see two options for 'ENABLE'.
Pick the one that says 'Full Table'. 'Full Table - Mapped' evidently don't mix with Solaris.
Save and exit, cycle power, and restart EISA config.
Save, exite, recycle power again.
At this next power up, the post message should say 'Processors Running at xxx' The next line should say Processor 2 initializing. When Solaris boots up, use the psrinfo command (no options) and it should show both processors up and running. psadm allows you to change the state of the other processor.
Let me know how this works. Mine is working like a champ!

New D20, Windows 7/Vista can't see hard drives - also 2nd CPU questions

I just got a new D20 and aded a few 1TB Samsung hard drives to the WD one that came with it. I can see the drives fine in both the Marvell BIOS RAID setup utility (even ran a Verify Disk on them with no errors) and from the ThinkStation BIOS and even from a Linux-based utility that I used to partition and format them with. But neither Windows 7 RC nor Vista x64 Ultimate can see any of the drives and when I try to load drivers fro the driver CD that came with it, they aren't recognized or loaded. Probably there is a simply BIOS setting I've screwed up but it has me stumped. Any clues?
Also the machine came with one dual-core E5502 CPU. If I want to add a 2nd CPU does it also have to be the same as the 1st or can I add a quad-core E5504 or even a higher speed quad-core as long as it is a LGA1366? Does it have to be a Xeon or would an i7 work?
Many thanks in advance!
ThinkStations: D10, D20, and S20
ThinkCentres: S50, M51, A61e
ThinkPads: W520, X60T and X61T SXGA+ tablets

welcome to the forum!
sounds like that D20 arrived in one piece.
the latest marvell driver for vista 64 can be found here. i suggest trying that first to make sure this isn't a driver issue. also check that you have the intel chipset and matrix storage drivers installed. they can be found here.
check the BIOS and see if the AHCI mode is set to SATA RAID. i can't remember the exact path to this setting right now but can reboot and write it down if you get lost.
on the processor, the second one does have to match the first unless you replace the first completely and install two new chips. an i7 might work as a single processor in socket 0 (this is untested so i cannot confirm). however, you'll need two xeons if you want to run two physical processors.
i suggest reading the following links for reference:

Essbase crash after enabling a 2nd CPU

Hi,
We're testing a migration to virtual environments. Moving the tiers to VM worked without a glitch, however, enabling a 2nd CPU on VM causes Essbase to crash without a hint in the error log. Any ideas? Should I make any configuration changes after enabling the 2nd CPU? 11.1.2.1 on Windows.
Thanks,
Alin

Oracle does support HyperThreading, they just don't recommend it. Anyway, the VM system is on AMD CPUs so there's no hyperthreading involved.
Is there any relevant change in Essbase configuration if it's running on n>1 CPUs?

Wont Reconize 2nd Cpu

The problem i am having when i try and set clock frequency to x11 for athlon fx51 it wont boot with 2 cpus. When i have single cpu in, it will boot at x11. Changed the 2nd cpu to cpu1 all by itself and boots fine, but when together i have problems. But when i leave it at x10 my system runs fine with 2 cpus. Second problem is during boot up the system only shows 1 cpu installed..Any one have any ideas why this is. System stats are as follow.

Wow that Just shows you that I have Much to Learn about AMD System , As I am Browsing these AMD Forums Because I am in the Process of Building a Dual Opteron 248 Rig on a Tyan Thunder MB with Much Help from "Bas"..But I was under the Impression that the FX-51 Did not have any Dual CPU 940 Pin Boards in Order to support this CPU in Dual Configuration ....As I was Under the Impression that they Only Made Dual CPU boards to support the Opteron CPU's......Well you learn something new every minute in my Case ..............Sean REILLY875

My Mac won't recognize my iPod shuffle 2nd generation

My Windows recognizes my iPod with no problem. But, whenever I plug my iPod into my Mac, nothing happens. I've tried resetting it, restoring it, I've restarted the computer and iPod, I've installed programs that may help the Mac recognize the iPod... and still nothing happens. I've read online that it could be useful for me to reformat the iPod from Windows to Mac but I have to do this through restoring it, which doesn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I don't know what else to do... does anyone know how to fix this?

At this point I'm not really sure what exactly was the cause of the error (and I suspect neither the Apple staff knows), but I can definitely confirm that the solution I've tried works. The idea is to basically be able to plug the iPod Shuffle 2G without opening iTunes, and then reformat completely the iPod from scratch using the Disc Utility tool. The only way (or at least one way) to do that is to launch the Mac in safe mode. These are the steps I followed, taken from user JWA:
"+I fully charged my iPod 2nd Gen with portable charger. Then connected to my shut down Mac.+
+Booted into into safe mode (hold down the shift key on startup). This will not allow iTunes to start with the iPod is connected. My iPod did not show in the finder, this I think is a good thing. I started "Disc Utility" and erased my iPod.+"
"+I restarted my Mac, iTunes started up and suggested I restore my iPod, when I clicked Restore the finder then didn't like the format and I ignored that dialog box. To my delight, the next box wanted me to name my iPod and I started with a fresh iPod and all is well. I hope this helps!+"
Like I said, I'm not sure if the issue is actually with the MS-DOS FAT32 format or something else, but reformatting the iPod seems to fix the problem. Just make sure that when you launch the Disc Utility tool in safe mode, that the iPod shows up as one of the drives. If not, remove it and put it back in the dock. It should show up as a drive. Then you can erase it.
Good luck!

2010 Mac Pro boot 10.8.5 with 2nd drive?

I have a 2010 Mac Pro at work and I'd like to match the OS and ProTools setup that I have at home (MBP with OS 10.8.5 and ProTools 10/11).
The Mac Pro is currently OS 10.7.4 and I'm using ProTools 9. OS 10.7.4 doesn't support ProTools 10/11.
Is it possible to add a drive to my Power Mac that boots in OS 10.8.5?
There are currently 2 drives in the Mac Pro slots. I'm assuming I can add a third and boot off it?
thanks

Yes, you can do that. You will need a Mountain Lion installer or be able to clone a running Mountain Lion system to the drive.

HT201343 Can I Airplay from my mac to my apple Tv and disable the Mac screen to take workload off the graphics card?

Wondering if it's possible to enable mirroring and so the mac mini only sends what would be on its own screen to the appleTV with just an exit airplay or similar on the mac screen.

no it's mirror so if you turn off the mac screen then a mirror of that would be a turned off tv
it likely will be possible with the next osx update saw some support for more features in this direction

Early 2008 Mac Pro won't boot after installing 2nd DVD drive

All,
I purchased a Pioneer DVR-117D from Mac Sales and after installing it in my new refurbished 2008 Mac Pro it won't boot. My MP will boot if I remove the drive. According to the Mac Sales website this drive should work fine in my MP. Any ideas as to why this is happening. I literally just got my MP today and installed the drive. Is it the drive or the Mac Pro. Thank you all.

The drive was set to master, I switched it to CS before I left for work but haven't tried reinstalling it. I will try when I get back and let you know if it worked. Thank you again.

ITunes for Mac freezing when homesharing with Apple TV 2nd Gen

So first off I am using the latest version of iTunes, and my Apple TV2 is updated as well with the latest firmware.
I started noticing this problem earlier today, my itunes library will show up on my Apple TV for awhile, then while looking through the shows under 'Computers' in my library, suddenly it will stop loading the shows pictures and will not load the shows once I try and play them. Naturally I go to my iMac to see whats going on and my iTunes has completely frozen, Its never frozen before with regular use, I have tried it multiple times, it will play well for some time, then it will kill over. My itunes library is on a Seagate Goflex Desk 1 TB hard drive, if thats a problem.
When my iTunes DOES freeze, I force quit, then when I go to launch iTunes again I get a "This library has been locked, this disk is locked or you don't have permission' type error and I must reboot my Mac to get it to launch again. Very annoying, what should I Do?

You can do just that. Highlight any song and hold the select button > Start Genius.
This will let you start Genius, but it behaves differently now. It used to be than when I started Genius from a song, the selected song was part of the playlist and I wouldn't have to do anything special to play it.
Now, when I start Genius it gives me a list of songs based on the one I picked, but it doesn't include the one I started from. I also have to manually start playing one of those songs, or select "Shuffle" to actually start playing the playlist.
I'm so used to just starting Genius and walking away. The way it's implemented with the ATV2 is quite annoying to me.

Power Mac G4 Won't Boot after Installing 2nd Hard Drive and Additional RAM

Hello. I am using a Power Mac G4 (PCI graphics) that I bought a few weeks ago. It was working perfectly fine until I tried to add an additional hard drive and add more RAM to the machine. After I closed the case and plugged it back in, it won't start up at all. No sound, no lights, nothing spinning, nothing. I removed the added hard drive and RAM, but it still refuses to start. I don't know what happened. Hopefully it's not a logic board failure or anything else equally bad.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The PowerMac G4 PCI forum is over here:

I'll ask a moderator to move your thread. Try replacing the clock battery, and hitting the CUDAS switch.

Disable 2nd monitor when undocking?

I posted this before but nobody replied so maybe I need to simplify it.
When I hit the eject button on my ThinkPad dock it turns off everything on the dock (including USB) except for DVI, which then causes Windows 7 to set both monitors to Duplicate at 1024x768. I just want it to disable the DVI monitor and go back to laptop monitor instead.
Is there a way to do this? I don't know why it keeps the DVI monitor going when the dock is ejected. Thanks.

Can somebody familiar with the dock please reply to this?
Hint: use Win+P to view monitor configurations.
When I press the undock button, it switches to Duplicate and both monitors (one DVI) show 1024x768 (even though all USB connections disconnect).
