Bringing a B/W G3 with G4 upgrade back to life

Hi,
I have a B/W G3 that has a G4 ZIF installed plus lots of RAM.... can I use CCC to install a fresh 10.3.9 system onto it?
It has been @ 2 years since its use, but I am hoping to use it in a lab with older CRT iMacs ...... I remember using it but its ethernet card caused the school network to reset to a slower connection speed (wrong term). I think it was 10.
Is there a way that I can look at all its specs before I plug it in as I don't want to get my hand slapped
Thanks,
DC

I have a B/W with a G4 upgrade also, the first thing you need to make sure is that the computer can actually boot. If the upgrade is new, and you never patched it, make sure you do that first, take a look at this site: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G4CARDS/OWC_mercury/index5.html
as well as the upgrade card manufacturers site.
After you boot and install the system(CCC should work?) make sure you have a L2 cache enabler installed or it will run SLOW (REALLLLLY SLOW). You can then check the Apple System Profiler to get all the specs. Just don't plug in the ethernet cable until you're ready:)
The G3 has a 100 card in it if I'm not mistaken, but it you have a 10 installed it would not really matter, the network does not have to slow down, only your computer will be slow.
It's a good machine even for it's age, good luck with it.

Upgrading Hard Drive, How do I bring my boot camp setup with me?

I'm putting a larger hard drive in my macbook. I've installed Leopard, migrated over my existing account, but I don't know how to bring my boot camp setup with me. Suggestions?

Hi Christian,
depending on the file system that you use with your BootCamp Windows, two possibilities:
If using FAT32 : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=717201&start=0&tstart=0
If using NTFS : http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/

Leopard install problems on G4 AGP with processor upgrade

Hi,
I've got an olde PowerMac G4 (AGP 450 or so Mhz) that was upgraded many years ago to a PowerLogix 7455 Dual 1.3 Ghz processor. It has Boot ROM version 4.2.8, and has been running Tiger 10.4.11 faithfully, but I thought I would bring it up to speed with Leopard and get it in line with the rest of my machines.
The Leopard install disc (10.5) won't boot the machine. After I run the installer and the machine re-boots, the drive churns, spits out the disc and then re-boots.
So I looked into the whole "disc pops out issue" in the KB and this G4 AGP does NOT need the firmware update listed in the KB to solve a similar problem on Quicksilvers (FYI, its a MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8585 r1A28)
The machine meets all Leopard requirements, so thinking it was the drive (since the disc kept popping out) I booted into target disc mode and installed 10.5 from a PowerBook G4.
But now when I boot the G4 from that drive, it does not get past the grey Apple screen with the spinner... the machine shuts down just as it would normally get to the blue screen.
The G4 boots fine from the clone I made just before I started all this (Phew!) so I am back to square one, just wish I could bring the G4 up to Leopard.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Dave

I am getting confused your your use of "installer". Being able to run an Installer implies that you actually got the computer to boot from the DVD so you are actually able to run the Installer program. In the second instance when the other computer was in TDM did you actually install 10.5 and now the grey screen issue is when it is booting to 10.5 on your computer, or are you still hanging on booting to the DVD?
The G4 boots fine from the clone I made just before I started all this (Phew!) so I am back to square one, just wish I could bring the G4 up to Leopard.
I assume this is some pre-Leopard OS.
Are you using a retail version of Leopard (black color) or gray discs that will only install on the machine with which they originally came and in particular if they came with an Intel computer will not like a PPC?

Usage type issue with PI upgrade from 7.01 to 7.11

Hi guys,
We are currently performing an upgrade on our PI system.
We are upgrading from PI 7.01 to PI 7.11 and we've come cross an issue during the prepare phase of the install.
An error has occurred during the execution of the CHECK_SUPPORTED_SOURCE_USAGES phase.
This upgrade doesn't support upgrade of sap.com/MI usage detected on the source system.
You can find more information in the log file /usr/sap/PI3/upg/java/log/CHECK_SUPPORTED_SOURCE_USAGES_SSU_01.LOG.
Use the information provided to troubleshoot the problem. An SAP Note may provide a solution to this problem. Search for SAP Notes with the following key words: com.sap.sdt.j2ee.phases.PhaseTypeCheckSupportedSourceUsages com.sap.sdt.j2ee.tools.check.NegativeResultException This upgrade doesn't support upgrade of sap.com/MI usage detected on the source system.

When reporting problems to SAP Support, attach the trouble ticket file /usr/sap/PI3/upg/java/log/TroubleTicket_01.txt to your message.
We've looked through the main upgrade notes and they mention which usage types are supported, but they do not mention explicity what usage are not supported, and how to proceed with the upgrade if your system does have one of these non-supported usage types.
Considering our system does contain usage type MI, does this mean that we cannot upgrade our current PI system to 7.11?
Please help!
Thanks,
Steph

Hello
Please see note #1247043 Release Restrictions for EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 - section "Upgrade: source system must be a dedicated PI system".
It is not possible to upgrade an existing system with the usage type MI. Even if you delete the usage type MI (if this is possible) the upgrade will not be possible.

I have Norton 360 and it's not compatible with the upgrade to Firefox 4? How do I get Norton activated now for the internet?

I received a notice that I should upgrade to the Firefox 4. After I did the upgrade I then got a notice that Norton wasn't compatible with the the upgrade. How do I go about getting my Norton Security to work with this upgrade. So right now I have nothing in which is protecting my computer while surfing. Nothing against your product BUT I want what I already had/have to be the one protecting my computer. So what needs to be done so I can have my existing computer security to work with this upgrade. Otherwise I'll go back to the previous version which did work with Norton.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7. I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade. The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen. I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine. Any thoughts on how to get this working? Thanks

If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it. You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

Can you pre-order the iPhone 4S with your upgrade?

Hi all - I was due for an upgrade with a discount back in May; however, I was waiting for the new version of the iPhone to come out. Now that it is out, I know that you can preorder the phone Oct 7th. I have 3 questions:
1. Will I be able to preorder the iPhone 4S through the Verizon Wireless website?
2. Will I be able to use my upgrade to pre-order the iPhone 4S?
3. If I do preorder the phone, will I have to put a deposit? Or pay for it in full?
Thanks everyone!!

I want to know how to enable the links that are sent in an email, with each upgrade of Firefox it gets harder and harder to do so. What is the trick to this?

With each upgrade of Firefox, I have a harder and harder time, getting to the links provided in my emails. Some times I am able to trick the link into working, if I continue to to try every link in the email, but most of the time, I just have to give up. I know that I need to change something, maybe in the settings, but I don't know what.
Please help me. I am considering just going back to Internet Explorer.

This did not solve my problem. I can sometimes click on a link (word) provided in an email, that leads to a site, but it does not list the website address!! It works sometimes, providing me with a chance to enable links for this address or enable link (I think basically for just that one time).

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

I I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life. I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata. Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life. I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata. Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

I knew I should never get rid of my old G5's. By the way, there is a browser still supported for the PPC, TenFourFox, if you're not using it already. Go to the Floodgap website (they author it) download it for free. The only thing it doesn't support is the Flash plugin, but the browser works great. Other video types are supported. It's based on Firefox, and runs most of the plugins and add-ons. It's very fast, and beats all other browsers on the browser compatibility and speed test. That's now my default on my G5's. Firefox and Safari are no longer supported. As far as the OS, both Tiger and Leopard were solid for me. The reason, as I stated before, was iMovie. The version in Tiger with iLife was far superior to what Apple changed it to. They 'dumbed it down' for the masses. Even the newest iLife 11 on my Mac Pro quad isn't is good, in my opinion. So Leopard should be fine for you. It's a much larger browser in terms of sheer megabytes and disk space, but it's fine. As far as getting an OS disc, I'm seeing Tiger for about $45.00, Leopard for $50 - 60.00 on that famous auction site. As far as RAM, I have 8GB in my G5 2.3, but you should check Activity Monitor when you are running your apps. See how much green slice you have left (unused RAM). You might find you don't need eight. A Mac Pro will grab more free RAM than a PPC machine will. I have a hard time maxing out use of my 8 on the PPC. Not true with the eight on my Mac Pro. The OS doesn't hesitate to grab and use it. You might be OK with 6GB on your PPC. More will not make you faster, as long as you still have free RAM available. As far as backup on your resurrected machine: look for a firewire enabled backup if can. Use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and make a clone backup. Next time your PPC machine wipes out the hard drive, just take your Firewire drive and plug it into another PPC machine, and you can select it as your boot drive. You'll be back and running in five minutes. You can also take the physical drive out of your enclosure, and put it in your tower to replace the failed drive, and you'll be back to where you were in less than ten minutes, OS and all. The PowerMac has an 800 port, so you can do the 800 on the machine to an 800 port on your backup. A firewire 800 to 800 cable is only about $8.00. It runs nice and fast through the 800 port. I like the OWC Mercury Extreme enclosures. They use USB, Firewire 800, and eSATA, so all your options are open.

Why am I having performance Issues with an upgrade from CS2 to CS5.5?

I am struggling hard with an upgrade from InDesign CS2 to CS5.5 (part of CS5.5 Design Standard)
There is a very slow response when trying to produce a 45 page document which needs many .jpeg images inserting, sometimes up to six on each 3-column page. While InDesign behaves sort of normally on text only pages, it slows to a virtual standstill when on the pages with images. (But this is what its for and I didn't have this problem with CS2!!)
Having read through some of the postings on this topic I have followed all the advice without success :-(
1) disable LSD in Preferences – Interface
2) disable thumbnail display in Pages
3) adjust view settings to Typical with Raster and Vector Images greyed out
4) disable Save Preview Images with Documents
5) check Links before opening documents
7) switch Preflight off
I shouldn't need to do all this should I???
I am operating with the following:
Packard Bell ixtreme M5740 64 bit
Intel Core i5 CPU [email protected]
4.0 GB RAM
ATII Radeon HD5570 graphics card 2779 MB available memory, 1024MB dedicated
plenty of free space – 274GB on c: drive and 296 GB on a D: drive
My hardware conforms to/exceeds the Indesign recommended hardware spec. Oh yes I am working on my local drive and I don't have these problems with Photoshop or Illustrator CS5.5.
Has anyone an idea about what's going on?
I've lost a good 6-8 hours so far trying to sort it out. Any help and observations will be gratefully received!

Hi Peter
Thanks - I've found that the files were marked as 'hidden' and thus by switching them on gain I was able to recreate the original location. Regrettably this has had absolutely no effect on my problem. :-(
I have now created a fresh document, studiously linking all my images properly (similar number to a DK 'Eyewitness Travel Guide') and by the time I got halfway through its 80 pages, InDesign had slowed to a crawl - ie 15-20 seconds to respond to any command. It is clearly doing something that it thinks necessary despite all the 'workarounds' people have suggested. Please please Adobe what's going on???

Problems with auto upgrade Anyconnect 3.1

Hello,
I'm having problem with auto upgrade of Anyconnect 2.5 to 3.1.
Here is the situation :
I have ASA5510 running ASA 8.4.5 and clients are running Anyconnect 2.5.3055 and 3.1.00495 with 2 different profiles.
Clients with 2.5 can upgrade to 3.1 but then receive an "Invalid host entry" when they try to connect with new client. It works if they use FQDN instead of profiles. It's the same situation with Windows 7, Mac OS X and linux.
If I configure client software back to 2.5 on ASA, it works again for every client.
Do you have an idea ?
Thanks for your reply.
Yann

I have seen the same behavior on Mac OS X. A couple of points for me:
If I delete the profiles from /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile then I can connect once (using the FQDN) but it then downloads the client profile and on next attempted connection it receives "invalid host entry." My profiles use the FQDN of my ASA and both forward and reverse DNS resolution are configured properly.
My workaround is to remove the AnyConnect Client Profile entirely, but I can get away with that because I have a very simple setup, with all users in one default group. If I had to pass different profile information to different users that would not be a solution.
Second, better workaround: I just exported the client profile, imported it under a different name, edited the new client profile to remove the server address, and assigned the new profile to the group policy. At their next login, users get all the profile settings and since the client remembers the FQDN they used to connect it doesn't adversely affect the user experience.
