Any good deals on G5 systems right now?

I'm really in a bit of mental torment, as I'm sure many are. While I would love a shinny new Intel PowerMac, I'm not sure that I'm willing to put down the money for a relatively non-expandable Intel iMac.
Then again, my goal is to run Aperture, AND photoshop so the G5 makes more sense right now. Paying $2000+ for a loaded powermac may not make that much sense, however.
Does anyone know of any good deals on new or refurbished G5s? I want to load it with RAM/HDs and possibly even run OS X Server on it.
Thanks for any tips.

Java daemon on boot: "This user is not allowed access to the window system right now."

The daemon is located in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and launches successfully on most occasions. However, it sometimes fails to start with this error:
Nov 17 20:36:24 server.local java[28972]: This user is not allowed access to the window system right now.
Nov 17 20:36:24 server com.apple.launchd[1] (net.java.server): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
I have the server command running as a background daemon using its "nogui" option (the developers claim to have written it to not display a gui). However, it seems that somewhere along the line, Java is trying to display something. As the daemon is running before users log in, it gives this error. Once a user is logged in to the system, it runs fine; however, logging in a user to run the server is not an option. It needs to run on boot.
Any ideas for how to solve this? I'm going to contact the developers to see if it may be something they can fix, but I want to be able to force the issue in case the problem ever occurs in the future.

Irrespective of any claims by the developer, this certainly appears to be a test case that shows that the tool is not working as expected, and that the application has a bug. This test case would be better if there was some evidence around why only some of the startups fail, but in general this will involve what's been suggested earlier: "Contact the application developer."
As some general background on what's involved, see daemons and agents and related; processes that are not allowed to connect to the GUI for reasons of security.
I'd also suggest testing your DNS, as seeing "server.local" can imply local DNS configuration errors. Launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless diagnostic command and see if it reports no changes, or if it detects network or DNS errors:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
If this is OS X Server and a NAT'd network, you do not want to reference any DNS servers located off of your NAT'd network.
Why DNS? Because DNS errors can cause only some operations to fail, particularly if there's more than one DNS server selected (and where some subset of the DNS servers are malfunctioning or misconfigured).

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap). Any ideas?

Are there any good DVD authoring programs for Mac now that Apple has discontinued DVD Studio and iDVD? I need to make DVDs that have interactive menus and such (Final Cut X and Compressor 4's DVD option is a little cheap and doesn't provide any kind of professional DVD authoring). Any ideas?

This comes up a lot these days.
Practically speaking, there are really four options for the Mac platform: Toast (<$100), Adobe Premier Productiom ($1,600 to buy or $50/month to rent), find a copy of Final Cut Studio from 3rd party (+/- $1,000 new) or a boxed edition of iLife to get iDVD ($50 - $90 on Amazon new).
The other question everyone has is how many OS versions before iDVD or FCS breaks? No one knows, but Apple has said they're no longer supporting these legacy apps. Of course, no one is mandated to upgrade to a new OS unless they buy a new computer. So if it works on a system, stay with it as long as it makes sense.
Good luck.

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Any Good Deals on Quad G5 when odering FCP

We recently purcashed 2 Quad G5 systems with FCP and got £200 rebate for purchasing together - does anyone know if there is any offers like this..
Also secondly is this the worst time to buy a G5 considering that it will superceded soon but doesn't seem to be discounted to reflect this yet...?
Lastly this will be used mainly as a Graphics Station with After Effects as well.. does any know if the Quadro FX card at an extra £1100 quid will be worth the extra money!?!
Your thoughts would be very appreciated..

My thughts:
What exactly is this post about?
You got a deal. Then you ask if there are deals...
If you already purchased, it's a little late to wonder if it's not the best time... But do keep in mind that not all software is ready for the universal version.
The Quadro fx? I went with the 7800 and it's just fine for me-- but we're not a high-end graphics shop.

Right now which tax procedure is suitable for indian implementations

hi,
sap gurus,
can any body suggest me exactly that right now which tax
procedure is suitable for indian implementation projects.
or
right now all companies are trying to implement which type of
tax procedures out of TAXINN AND TAXINJ.
plz suggest excatly
regards,
balaji.t

hi,
The main difference is, TAXINN is Condition Based Tax Procedure while TAXINJ is Formula based.
In Tax Procedure (TAXINJ) we have to maintain Tax Codes through FTXP while in case of TAXINN we just need to maintain the condition records.
TAXINN is being used more becuase this Procedure it is more flexible as you can change the condition record any time while in case of TAXINJ if want to make a change in tax then you will have to make the changes in FTXP that is master data.

Hi I Have A Prepaid SmartPhone Right Now With Verizon For About 7-Months So Far. I Have Always Paid On Time No Missed Payments Good Standing Account, I Tried To Switch Over To A 2-Year Contract With Verizon And They Wanted A $400 Deposit For Only 1-Line.

Hi I Have A Prepaid Smart Phone Right Now With Verizon For About 7-Months So Far. I Have Always Paid On Time No Missed Payments Good Standing Account, I Tried To Switch Over To A 2-Year Contract With Verizon And They Wanted A $400 Deposit For Only 1-Line. Is There Anyway I Can Use My Excellent Payment History With There Prepaid Department To Switch To A 2-Year Contract And Not Have To Pay The $400 Deposit. And This Is Due To The Fact I Have No Credit History Whatsoever

Since you have no credit history, my guess is you would need at least a year of on time payments, and I'm not sure a pre-paid account would qualify as you can stop at any time.
You didn't specify your age, but getting started int he credit world is not easy - you may try applying for a gas card, or a credit card, and USE them, pay them off each month - and expect to take a year or more to establish a record.

haven't tried it myself but saw this earlier in a blog somewhere:
"try retro installing FF v3.6.3",
makes sense 'cos I've only been experiencing the same problem with mozilla & realplayer combo since updating to latest FF v3.6.4
noted that under IE realplayer plugin still works fine, button to 'download this video' comes on as before.....
from what I read retro install will pick up all your bookmarks etc. do no worries there
naughty, NAUGHTY mozilla people! you were 'bombproof' until today....what happened? good luck sorting it out though!!!! I still luv you!

i have downloaded OS X Yosemite using recovery from boot but while installing error occuring showing unable to extract essential.pkg so can't install. problem is i have already formatted my drive and dont have any os right now. only the downloaded new os x yosemite in the os x base system. please help

Please try again after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
Step 1
Reset your computer’s PRAM.
Step 2
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Step 3
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups.
Step 4
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested.

please help me >>>>

Thanks James, I just tried Siri again and it worked fine on two tests.
Does this Problem happen often? I have had my Iphone5 for about two weeks and this is the first time I have
had the problem. My 3gs used Siri to dial phone numbers or use the address book to dial and I never had a problem with it.
Thanks for posting the system status page.

Why can't Siri take any requests right now?

For the past Day, Siri has been ******* me off. It flat out will not work.
I ask it simple things like "Weather" or "What time is it" or what 344+33 is and I get this every time: "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now." OR "There's something wrong, and I can't answer your questions right now"
Voice to text will not work.
I did everything, I power cycled the phone, I tried on Wifi and 3G, i turnd Siri off, then back on. I reset the phone. It doesn't seem to be the device, it seems to be the service.
Now I want to know what IDIOT thought it would be a good idea to make Siri, ENTIRELY relient on Apple's servers. It's BS that this app cannot function, even in it's simplest form of dialing a number without bouncing it off of an Apple Server. This app has one job, and it fails.
Is anyone else having Siri issues, and what is Apple going to do about this?

Yes having problems in Californa yesterday and today. When done speaking, Siri's little ... things bounce back and forth like saying "What?" So somethings not working right. You would think after having it out for so long and making it a Sales Feature, they would not say its in beta anymore. Oh well. I'm sure I can work without it but have enjoyed using it in the past. Hope it is repaired soon.

Siri can't take any request right now

I have an Iphone 4s and upgraded to 7.0.4. When i request Siri, she still answer me
"I am really sorry about this, but i can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
Its been 4 hours, and still the same message. This is my firts time using it.
Any Suggestions ?

Do you have a good Internet connection? Siri requires the Internet to work fully.
EDIT: Also, it depends on where you are located. Siri does not work everywhere. See this support document and see if Siri works where you are located. http://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/
