Repaired Quad working beautifully

An update from the "3 week old dead Quad" guy:
My repaired 4mb/6600/500 Quad has been working flawlessly for 4 weeks. It's very quiet. Have done a dozen music tracks, often tracking mic over the open air of the room with no problem. Leave it on 7/24 connected to APS 1500 Smart UPS. Wakes from sleep with no problems. Works with all usb and fw peripherals.
Did my 2nd corporate industrial video project in FCP yesterday, about 10 minutes with 50 cuts and dissolves, two layers of supers, V/O's brought in from Digital Performer, and about 15 motion graphic spots from Motion. Worked great with FCP, Motion, and DP all up. Motion never crashed. Output to FW production monitor never blinked. Produced entire thing, with many Motion tries and redos, broadcast quality, in 6 hours. Final DV render took 5 minutes. Final mp2 in Compressor took 7 minutes. (used to take about 1-1/2 hours each on dual G4). One thing I noticed: if you take focus away from Compressor, the CPU usage drops to about 200% - if you leave focus on Compressor it goes to 380-390%. Fantastic machine.
Also enjoying fast backups to external LaCie 800FW drive - didn't have a 800FW computer before. Very fast.
And: Doom3 45 fps/Unreal 65 fps when resolution set down to 1280x1024.
Don't forget that Apple Care!

I hook up the LaCie external FW's for backup
btw - do you play telecaster?

    I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
    If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process.  Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

  • My iPad worked beautifully until I tried to update iOS.  now it is dead.

    my iPad 2 worked beautifully with iOS 6.1.3.  got a notice to update to iOS 7.0.3.   Kept getting error message.  a kind person online advised me to connect my iPad to my laptop and sync with iTune.  I made it sure that my MacPro had the latest iTune version.  After 3 hours of downloading, I got a message on my MacPro that the iPad could not be restored.  The unknown error occured (2001).   So I disconnected ipad from Mac.  Now I cannot open my iPad.  All I see is the picture of the charge plug tip with an arrow pointing up to iTune logo.  when I reconnect after restarting my MacPro, I get the same message. 
    Is there anyway I can go beyond the current frozen screen on my iPad and go back to the old version of iOS 6.1.3????    please help.   I live in very remote area and very far away from any Apple store.    Please.   Please.

         As you guessed. I, like millions of other users after the update had their iPad go into "recovery mode" only to have the only way to get OUT of it, by restoring it to factory settings.
    Luckily, having had problems with Apple / iTunes before, I had a back up from the beginning of the year, sweet! I can just restore it to that and life is good. NOPE! Since the update, it made the backup incompatible with my iPad. Seriously? What kind of person creates an update for a device that denies backwards compatable capabilites...FOR backups!?!? Now I'm stuck trying to find some program that will decode the backup files, because you know...it would be too simplistic to back up devices NORMALLY so that you didn't have to use third party programs to fix backups....to back up your device.
    TL;DR: How do I restore my device to a backup. Anyone know of any free third party software that can restore, backup restores?

  • I have all my music on iCloud, and it works beautifully with all my apple products....except my iPhone 4.  I have downloaded all the recent software upgrades.  The "cloud" will appear when I go into my music, but it just won't download.  Any suggestions.

    I have all my music on iCloud, and it works beautifully with all my apple product.  However, with my iPhone 4, the Cloud will show up but but not download any music.  I have already updated all the software.  Any suggestions?

    Robert...
    the iCloud webserver wont accept my password for a .mac login, nor will it allow me to change it
    See if you can change your password >  Apple - My Apple ID
    If that doesn't help, launch iTunes on your computer.
    From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Restart your computer.
    If that that doesn't help...
    Moreover, when I try to go into my .mac account on the web,
    Delete all apple cookies and empty your browser cache.
    See if  you can access your account at iCloud.com

  • Why isn't Repair/Clone working in one spot?

    I've done a lot work on a RAW file in Aperture 3.4.5. I've done enough work so that I REALLY don't want to go back to the original image and start from scratch.
    One of the last things I did was use Shadow/Highlights to lighten the eye area on a statue that was side lit. One part of the face got too light. I've been trying to use both Repair and Clone to fix it, but they have no effect. It does not matter if I let Aperture chose or I option click on an area to clone. Apparently I have gone too far in my efforts to fix it that I run out of undos.
    I just can't figure out why I can't touch up this area. The brushes are leaving brush strokes, but the color of the area stays the same. I'm going to try to include the image in this post—look at the area to the left of the left eye, and you'll see an oddly shaped area that is too light.
    How can I fix this if repair and clone won't work, and why wouldn't they work?
    Thanks!

    Hard to see anything from the included image. Why don't you just remove the last adjustment you made and redo that one?
    Also keep in mind you can have multiple bricks of the same adjustment with each brick affecting a different area of the image. This way if you want to redo one of the adjustments you can just remove that one and leave the rest of the image alone.

  • For years FF has worked beautifully with Constant Contact. Now sevear function in CC will not work in the FF browser - they work in all other browsers. Help

    Until one week ago, I had no difficulty or problems working Constant Contact while open in my Firefox browser. Now I have several with some functions in CC not working.
    Inserting images, setting hyper links, changing background color - These are three necessary functions that I use in Constant Contact emails that no longer function when opening CC in Firefox browser - latest update was today 10/29/2013.
    The function work in the Chrome and Internet Explorer browsers.
    I have contacted Support at Constant Contact and the issue is not with their program.

    Hi eaglegrafix, try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions (i.e., anything you don't think you'll need for 24 hours) and see whether that solves it. You can do that on the Add-ons page:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category ''(in the left column, click Extensions)''
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that help narrow it down?

  • DIsk verify/repair not working

    My computer seemed a bit slow and slightly erratic so it seemed time for a rerun of disk utility. Disk repair ran so far, then exited leaving an error message: 'The underlying task reported failure on exit'. I tried verify, then repair permissions, both stated "No valid packages". So I then started up with install disk and Disk Utility ran repair successfully - but verify or repair from the CD still gave 'No valid packages' Can anyone tell me what this means and what I should do?
    The machine still seems to start and run OK. My 60Mb disk has about 8.5 Mb free. Is this insufficient and has this affected anything.
    Thanks for your potential contributions all you experts out there.

    The machine still seems to start and run OK. My 60Mb disk has about 8.5 Mb free. Is this insufficient and has this affected anything.
    I assume you mean GB, not MB. 8.5GB is kind of getting down there for Tiger and could have contributed to this, especially if the disk has been in use for a long time with large files and files may have become highly fragmented.
    If Disk Utility won't repair a volume you have two options.
    One is to copy off what files you can (bearing in mind that your directory has errors so it may not 100% know where all the bits and pieces are to all the files). Then erase the drive, reinstall the operating system, copy files back on.
    Another is to buy a utility such as Diskwarrior and let it rebuild the directory. This will be a lot faster, but will, of course, cost about $100 for the software. Other software packages (TechToolPro, Drive Genius, etc.) may be able to do the same. DW is a one trick application but is probably the best at what it does.
    Many say keep 15% of your drive free at all times for OSX to have room to run. With a 60GB HD that's only 9GB (which is why I don't like that "15%" recommendation since on a 2TB drive that would be 300GB which is ridiculously large). I check my virtual memory use in Activity Monitor and see that for my computer this is usually 6GB. I figure maybe 3x that is good for wiggle room and try to leave 18GB free at all times.

  • Permissions repair not working

    Hello out there,
    My G3 ibook uses OSX 10.3.9. When I try to "repair permissions" with either disk utilities or from the installation disk utillity I get the message---Disk Utility stopped repairing permissions because......No valid packages (-9997)
    Does anyone know what this means? Is it good, bad or irrelevant? What do I need to do to really "repair permissions?"
    Thanks in advance, Jim

    Hi there:
    You could see if booting from the Installer disc and running that version
    of Disk Utility could help fix this issue. Also, see if starting up in SafeBoot
    could help. I often use the built-in Disk Utility to repair permissions after
    booting up in SafeBoot, then restart normally.
    If you have renamed a folder or moved it in the system, you can make
    things unexpectedly happen. Or if something has been removed.
    Some people use 'single-user' mode and keyboard to access those kinds
    of features beneath the GUI; so that is a possibility should other access
    to this issue go without positive results. I seldom access my Macs in the
    single-user mode, so those details are a bit sketchy to me now.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Toshiba Satellite C50 Startup Repair not working

    Right, first off I am not very technologically savvy so apologies if I sound like I've no idea what I'm talking about because, really I don't.
    My Toshiba Satellite C50 froze last night and I had no other option but to hold the power button down to turn it off. When it switched back on again it froze at the start screen as Windows was opening.  Alas, I had no other option but to press the power button down again, this time taking me to the Startup repair screen.  Now I've ran this about 10 times and it keeps running forever, not solving any repair issues at all.  Every time I try to start Windows normally it freezes at the same Windows is loading screen.
    Also I cannot find the recovery disk that came with the laptop and have tried F8 but every option seems to take me to the Startup repair screen again which isn't solving anything.
    Please help!

    There won't be a physical disc, no manufacturer's provide those nowadays. You can access the hard drive's recovery partition, which provides similar functionality, by holding the zero key while booting up, form there you can restore to the out of the box state. That will wipe all data on the drive, but if the hardware is still functional that should resolve the issue.

  • Will my G5 Quad work in Canada?

    Hey all
    I'm emigrating to Canada next year and I was wondering what the situation is with the voltage difference compared to the UK. Some of my gear has a simple switch, can the G5 be easily converted or is it a case of transformers and or surgery? I am going to be using an uninterruptible power supply when over there due to the fact that we will be living in a mobile home with solar panels. If anyone has any pertinent observations on my plan it would be great.
    Nick.

    Hi. The G5s have auto-switching power-supplies
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75099
    So you will just need a new mains lead
    http://www.powercords.co.uk/standard.htm
    and whatever is required for your peripherals.
    I found it handy to take a UK 13amp four-socket extension lead and then put a suitable local plug on it. Means you only have one plug to buy and fit instead of four... No doubt the quad will need a dedicated lead with a plug for the UPS, anyway.
    Good Luck.

    I think I'm almost a charter member -- I resisted installing Leopard until the end of October but from then on it has been a long, strange trip, with an almost daily occurrence of some new bafflement. Even Apple seems baffled by some of Leopard's quirks, as evidenced by the increasing number of technical articles about Leopard that end in "This document will be updated as more information becomes available" & the ever increasing list of apps that don't play well with the OS, including many of Apple's.

  • Start up repair not working [Urgent]

    I turned on my laptop and it started a update, it stuck at 9% and then I turned it my laptop off then back on. A windows error recovery came up saying I could either do a Start up repair or just a normal boot. Both options eventually load up a grey screen (Like the blue one with flowers-But just grey) and I can just move my mouse.
    I want to avoid clearing all data as I have important things which took weeks to build. A reset to a previous update wouldn't be too bad, however not too far in the past (Few days Max.)
    I also have windows 7 and a HP envy.
    -Kind Regards, Jacob.

    Try booting in safe mode with command prompt.
