One Image for dual and single processor G5 machines

I'm working in a lab that has both single and dual processors G5 machines. There is only one image for both machines and I suspect that we have a few bugs with the single processor machines because of this. Has anyone else used one image for both single and dual processors? Have there been problems. I'm wondering if it is necessary to create two separate images.

There is not difference in the images, but you might have problems with the single G5 machines and 10.4. Did you do the firmware upgrade?
I have ~10 single G5 and 25 dual D5 machines netinstalled from one image without trouble.

  • PowerMac G5 Image across single, dual, and quad Processor Macs

    Good Day,
    Our organization is preparing to roll out Tiger. To streamline
    this process we have decided to create images for each Mac family in
    use. I know I need to find the newest possible model to create the
    image but what is the rule for single, dual, and quad processor macs?
    Can we use an image created on a quad processor PowerMac on the
    dual/single processor PowerMacs?
    Thanks

    Macs of different models and vintages may take different restore disks. The disk image method of doing this kind of work may or may not work. Use the original disks when faced with different releases or different models. See this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25784
    So a dual-single processor transfer will not necessarily work.
    In addition, there are license agreement considerations.
    I would not do it unless you know you are in the clear on both accounts.

  • Difference between dual and quad processor

    I'm looking into maybe switching from my iMac to the Power Mac G-5 with the 30" screen. Besides internet/email usage I do a lot with PhotoShop CS2. I think at this point in time I don't want to switch to the Intel, and will stay with the standard Mac system. Too many programs to start switching right now.
    First, is there a big difference between the dual and quad processor? Since doing Photo Shop is for pleasure and not a business where time is the essence, would I really see a big difference in speed? I would up the 512 memory to probably 2 or 3 GB as well (like I did on my iMac)
    2nd, Do I have to add a different graphics card, or can I use the one that comes in the computer? I don't do gaming just still pictures.
    Thanks, Allie1254

    Allie,
    Do get the Quad PPC and the next level up video card and AppleCare.
    1: PCI-Express video cards are impossible to come by right now, so get one up from the stock version, you'll come to appreciate it later on. Adds to resale value.
    2: ATI who makes video cards for Macs has been bought by AMD, a processor competitor to Intel. Who knows what the future is going to be on that.
    3: AppleCare is mandatory, one year isn't enough to cover a investment of this sort unless you do plan to dump it before then. Still AppleCare is a added plus to selling if you do.
    If you can get more RAM, more than 3-3.5GB, CS2 will do a amazing 40% more performance because it won't use the slow boot drive as a memory swap (aka "scratch") disk.
    If your handy, or have someone nearby that is, you can buy the RAM at Crucial.com a heck of a lot cheaper than Apple.
    If you really want more performance, I suggest getting a large stock drive that comes from Apple, and a 150GB 10,000 RPM SATA Western Digital 16MB Raptor and (Disk Utility Erase w/ Zero all new drives 1x first) and then install Tiger on the Raptor with all your space hogging files in new folders on the large stock drive. Keep the boot drive less than 50% filled.
    You'll see a incredible snappiness to your OS as Mac OS X "feel" speed is highly dependent upon boot drive speed.
    Your Quad's CPU's are powerful and they can crunch quite a bit, like a bulldozer that can move a lot of dirt. So you can do more at once. But large filled slow boot drives and low RAM just hobble them.
    If you never cloned your boot drive before, you should learn how to do that too. (Don't clone a different machines OS to a new one though.) You'll need a external firewire 800/400 drive equal to or bigger than your boot drive.

  • How to exchange one image for another with a click

    I am brand new to actionscript, so bear with me! I need to create an interactive web-based system which takes the user through steps to assemble something. One of the pages will have images of the tools needed. I want the user to be able to 'tick' off each tool, so that when they click on the image of a specific tool it is replaced by the image faded out and a big red tick over it. essentially it is replacing one image for another when it is clicked on.
    any ideas on the actionscript? Sorry i know this must be basic stuff for you!
    thanks!

    your tool images should be converted to movieclips and given instance names and you should create a red tick movieclip that you assign a class, say RedTick.  you can then use:
    tool1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toolClickF);
    function toolClickF(e:MouseEvent):void{
    var redtick:RedTick=new RedTick();
    addChild(redtick);
    redtick.x=e.currentTarget.x;
    redtick.y=e.currentTarget.y;
    e.currentTarget.alpha=.4;

  • What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?

    Hello i am new to photoshop and would like to really make some fantastic photos and video for my family and friends. I want to add effects to video and Edit photos to the 10th degree. Can someone please recommend an Adobe program. Should i get CS4 extended should i get master suite? Also where can i watch Video Tutorials that start from the basic and lead to the complex. Thanks in advance

    What is the best All in One program for picture and video editing?
    There is no such thing. If there were, nobody would bother writing different applications. If you are primarily focused on still image editing and video, Adobe Production Premium is the way to go. You can find any number of tutorials just by searching Google and many good ones are linked from the Adobe help systems as well.

  • Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

    Hello everybody
    My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
    Thank you in advance

    I would strongly recommend you not do this.  You will regret it.
    I have played with this issue a lot.  You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there.  You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again.  This really is not what you want to do.
    Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music.  You don't want to go though the other process.
    Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
    all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id.  if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app.  You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time.  They are all linked together.

  • HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

    I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

    I would complete unlocking as is and then
    restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
    Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
    one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
    will likely take weeks
    This may also help

  • HT4436 how can i setup one account for me and my kids ?

    how can i setup one account for me and my kids ?

    One account each, or one account for all of you to share?
    Either way, follow the instructions here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Remember, if you share an iCloud account, you won't be able to maintain independent Contact lists, calendars, bookmarks etc. They will all be synced to all devices setup using the same account.

  • One number for faxing and for voice

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it possible to have one number for faxing and for voice.
    What I have read up is that Cisco can detect the fax tones. What I would like to do is route all inbound faxes to a viop dial-peer and all voice to another e1 port.
    I am just looking for some more info if this can be done.
    Thanks you?

    Yes this is possible with either cisco fax relay or t.38 fax relay.

  • One maschine for dev and test

    Hallo,
    i have one maschine for dev and test. i know that it is possible to do this with 2 instances. SAP recommend to separate dev and test on separate maschines. But it is possible. have anyone experiance with that? When i don´t want 2 instances it is possible to have one instance and separate only the systems for dev and test in sld? Have I to copy the business systems, change the servers and make the configurations in integration directory?
    Thanks in advance...
    Frank Schmitt

    Hi Frank,
    one reason for having two systems
    is that you won't be able to import
    directory to your TEST system easily...
    because both r3 (dev and test will have the same integration server - you won't be able to add them to 2 different transport groups... )
    this means that you will have to create almost EVERYTHING
    in the directory twice... 
    at least without doing some tricks...
    make the life of a developer and create 2 servers
    it may cost less then using developers for creating many things twice
    Regards,
    michal

    i wish to del one apple id and make one common for mac and i phone, please suggest

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you just stop using it. Understand that any apps purchased using that ID can only be updated with it. Apps are tied that ID used to purchase them. If you want to use a new ID for everything, you will need to repurchase any old apps using the new ID.
