Power PC G5-needs help!!!!!

I am running 10.3.9 system software with 512MB ram. It is the model with all the hardware in the monitor (19" I think) , it has no tower.
I cannot install the new snow leopard system software or updates to several software programs including safari.
My questions are, is it time to just buy a new Mac Book for 999.00 or are there cheaper upgrades that can be done (More Ram) and keep the existing model.
I currently have the new macbook pro and love it, but the other MAC is for family use?

Hi Dave, there are 3 different G5 1.8s, 2 can take 8GB of RAM, one can take 4GB of RAM.

  • Cross platform power point videos - need help!

    I'm trying to create a MS powerpoint that will work on either windoze or Mac (my primary creation platform is MS office 2011 on the mac, but I also have MSO 2010 on an XP machine).
    I've somewhat mastered the issues with audio files, but am stymied with videos.  I have youtube donwnloaders for both the mac and windows, but cannot get a format with either that is supposed to work cross platform [I can't depend on any iTunes or other non standard apps on the windoze machines].
    According to a post on a MS help site, the video formats that are supposed to work crossplatform are:  MOV  M4V  AVI  WMV.  Unfortunately, neither of the youtube downloaders I have can create any of these formats that work.  The downloader on windoze can create an AVI, but PPT won't display it when I embed it in the slide.

    I can't get my iphone to power on. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If not, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to start.

    My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow.When ever my iPod is being slow and I get on an app the app will shut down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do! Could you tell me how I can power down my iPod or how I can fix the slowness and the shutting down of the apps.

    - Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Next, reset the iPod
    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
      Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    Then you can try:
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Need help with power supply & graphics card upgrades

    I have a HP Pavilion p6320y that I bought 8 months ago. AMD Phenom II x4820 Quad Core processor.   I play WoW and since the last big patch, have been suffering with low fps. I updated drivers and followed all the advice given to me by Blizz and finally figured out that my Nvidia GeForce 9100 (integrated graphics) isn't good enough anymore.
    I checked my computer and discovered that I have a 300w power supply (12V) and read on another post here that something stronger than 300w is needed to run a decent graphics card.
    Now for my questions:
    How much of a power supply can I upgrade to without hurting my computer, but will be enough to run a good card?
    What would be a good graphics card for this computer?
    I've been looking at the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express graphics card and wonder if that will work on my computer.  Most of the nicer cards seem to be the PCI Express and I'm not sure if that will work.
    Any advice will be most helpful. I have some experience with the inner workings of my PC and would like to fix this myself instead of running to the closest computer shop and paying someone else to. Thanks!
    This question was solved.

    Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
    GeForce 9400 under $50
    Radeon HD 4650 under $50
    GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
    Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

    I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
    If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:

    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Need help estimating processing power required to support new process

    Hi,
    I am putting up a new server spec for a new project. I need help estimating processor power I need.
    Here are, in short, the steps of the main process:
    - Load the data:
    Incoming file contains 160 mln rows. The SIZE of this file is 250 GB. The file has about 60 columns, out of that I upload 50 into my table.
    Record length is 1500 bytes, in the table.
    - Validation/calculations:
    After the upload I validate EACH row in this table against 20 rules that are defined in the RULES table.
    It is all math, like this column plus that column must be equal to this number, and validate the third column against this number.
    - Output stage:
    Records that pass validation go to one table, those that didn't go to the other table.
    Then the first table (with good records) is extracted to a file. Those from the "wrong" table are also get inserted into "review" table
    This whole process should take about 5-6 hrs.
    This file contains 6 month of data.
    Some times, I will run validation against 2 year worth of data, means validate two "annual" tables, each one is 500 GB in size. According to the requirements, this process should take no more than 1 day.
    For this process I write hardware spec for a new server.
    I have a hard time figuring out how much processor power I need for this process? to validate this much data in that much time.
    Is there any formula or a guideline to tell what processor I need? I was looking at this one, but I wish I could estimate before I buy and try (and possibly fail, and have a biiiiig problems)
    Intel Xeon E5-2640 (6 core, 2.50 GHz, 15MB, 95W)
    Number of processors: 2
    RAM: 16GB
    Any help is very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

  • Need Help, Power Mode Changer

    So the yoga is a cool computer but, it lacks lots of features. I for one miss the ideapad touch button power mode feature from my old laptop.
    I am remaking this program but I need help with the graphics.
    This is where I am right now:
    http://i43.tinypic.com/5mwgeq.png
    My goal is to make a hotkey controllable program that will change mode with the key function : ALT + Spacebar
    It will probably take me 20 more min to add this hotkey feature. However, I need help with the graphics. If you guys help with the graphics, I will share this program with the public. 
    Also, I would love suggestions and ask for your opinion. Is this something you would be intrested in?
    Of course, the program will be free of charge and I might even make it open source.
    ***Edit***
    To show you guys I am not BSing:
    http://alltechtalk.net/Power_Mode_Changer.exe
    To change between modes, press the LEFT ALT + Z. In the final version, the hotkey will be left alt + space bar, for now, this is a beta.

    The program has already been made. All I need is help with the graphics. 
    Attached below is a sample background and button png, in the size it needs to be.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins,needs new internal battery but I have no idea how to go about this. i love my ipod and don't want it to loose power completely, can anyone help?

    My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins from full power, think it needs a new internal battery but have no idea how to go about this and am no longer covered by my guarantee. Can anyone advise me on what's best? Thanks in advance

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use an Apple wall-mount charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPod Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
