Buying used PowerMac G4 BDD - common issues?

Hi guys, I'm looking at a used Power Mac G4, MDD, dual 1.25 and was wondering what issues I should look for before buying (I'm going to demo it later today). i.e. faulty disc drive are common, PSU often die at this age.
Thanks for your advice
cheers,

Hugo,
I'm looking at a used Power Mac G4, MDD, dual 1.25 and was wondering what issues I should look for
Well like a brody says check the noise. This is from:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G5/G5vsG4MDDreview.html
"Wind Tunnel - anyone unlucky enough to have used one of the loud G4 MDD models before the CPU fan and power supply replacement program, knows what I am talking about. It was not only the loudness of these machines, but the varying pitch seemed to be particularly annoying. After performing the exchange on a G4 MDD Dual 867 at work things improved, but the G5 goes much further in the noise department than any G4 tower. "
I'm actually sitting here on my G4 dual 1.25:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,6
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
Memory: 1.5 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
It actually doesn't seem that much more noisy than my old Sawtooth. Now the Quick Silver that I have on my work bench is VERY noisy.
It makes me suspect that this MDD has had the replacement done.
These have been known to have power supply problems. Don't know if these were the original or the replacements. You'd have to let it run for a while and watch for power supply glitches which would usually result in a freeze.
(There are two examples of this problem in this same forum)
My MDD was picked up used and has been my workhorse for about a year now.

Hi San Rao,
1.Has the data request reached the SAP R/3..?
-check for the queue entries in the CRM out bound- SMQ1.
-check the destination for R/3 or ECC in CRM-SM59.
2.Has the data been extracted in R/3..?
-check for the short dumps in ST22 in R/3
3.Has the data been sent to the CRM..?
-check for the queue entries in the qRFC out bound queue- SMQ1.
4.If the the block number in the down load monitor shows 0 blocks in R3AM1 check the following
- check the destination for CRM in R/3- SM59.
-check which consumer is used for the object in the object management.
-check the table CRMCONSUM in R/3 if the consumer is active.
-check for the given consumer in table CRMFCPAR in R/3 if an entry exists for the object.
5.Has the data reached CRM..?
-check for the queue entries in the CRM inbound queue-SMQ2
-check in the flow trace SMW01 if there are Bdocs in error state.
-check for the short dumps in ST22 in CRM.
6.Check the table CRMFCPAR
-Table CRMFCPAR is valuated in the way that an entryfor a specific objectwill always be taken if it exists. If no specific entry exists, an entry with the object name ' * ' will be taken.the same goes for load type. If no entry exists, the initial load will be roll back to SMQ1 in CRM with a sysfail saying that no CRM is connected.
-If the flag 'DISCARDDAT is set to 'X' , no data is sent.
7. Status of the queue entries
-Queue name for a initial load start with R3AI.
-If queue entries exist in status READY, check SMQR (for SMQ1) orSMQR(for SMQ2). If the queue entries exists with the status SYSFAIL, analyse the error and restart the queue.
-If queue entries exists in the status 'RUNNING' wait for the load to finish.
-Never delete a queue entry manually.
Reward points if its helpful.
Regards
Nadh.

Actually, I believe the drivers that are available on the NI website are licened for upgrades only. If the hardware came with an NI-488.2 driver, you can upgrade that to the latest version with the link above.
If your purchase did not include a software license (the hardware is sold separately from the hardware due to single- and multi-user license options), you need to purchase a license of NI-488.2.
http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=10622〈=US
The part numbers for the single and multi-user license for Windows are 778598-02 and 778598-01. Other operating systems are listed as well.
If you have any confusion, you should contact NI to confirm licensing issues.

Common issues with BW environment

Hello Experts,
could you please mention all teh common issues faced in BW environment with the solution available.
I have many issues and I wante dto know whether all teh teams face the same.
This would a good oppurtunity to have everything in one thread.
Thanks and regards
meps

Hi,
We will have somany issues plz check some of them
1. DTP Failure
Select the step-> right click and select “Display Message”-> there we will get the message which gives the reason for ABEND.
A DTP can failure due to following reasons, in such case we can go for restarting the job.
System Exception Error
Request Locked
ABAP Run time error.
Duplicate records
Erroneous Records from PSA.
Duplicate records:            In case of duplication in the records, we can find it in the error message along with the Info Provider’s name. Before restarting the job after deleting the bad DTP request, we have to handle the duplicate records. Go to the info provider -> DTP step -> Update tab -> check handle duplicate records -> activate -> Execute DTP. After successful competition of the job uncheck the Handle Duplicate records option and activate. DTP Log Run:
If a DTP is taking log time than the regular run time without having the back ground job, then we have to turn the status of the DTP into Red and then delete the DTP bad request (If any), repeat the step or restart the job.
Before restarting the Job/ repeating the DTP step, make sure about the reason for failure.
If the failure is due to “Space Issue” in the F fact table, engage the DBA team and also BASIS team and explain them the issue. Table size needs to be increased before performing any action in BW. It’ll be done by DBA Team. After increasing the space in the F fact table we can restart the job.
Erroneous Records from PSA:      When ever a DTP fails because of erroneous records while fetching the data from PSA to Data Target, in such cases data needs to be changed in the ECC. If it is not possible, then after getting the approval from the business, we can edit the Erroneous records in PSA and then we have to run the DTP. Go to PSA -> select request -> select error records -> edit the records and save.Then run the DTP. 2.      INFO PACKAGE FAILURE: The following are the reasons for Info Pack failure.
Source System Connection failure
tRFC/IDOC failure
Communication Issues
Processing the IDOC Manually in BI
Check the source system connection with the help of SAP BASIS, if it is not fine ask them to rebuild the connection. After that restart the job (Info Pack).
Go to RSA1 -> select source system -> System -> Connection check.
In case of any failed tRFC’s/IDOC’s, the error message will be like “Error in writing the partition number DP2” or “Caller 01, 02 errors”. In such case reprocess the tRFC/IDOC with the help of SAP BASIS, and then job will finish successfully.
If the data is loading from the source system to DSO directly, then delete the bad request in the PSA table, then restart the job
Info Pack Long Run: If an info pack is running long, then check whether the job is finished at source system or not. If it is finished, then check whether any tRFC/IDOC struck/Failed with the help of SAP BASIS. Even after reprocessing the tRFC, if the job is in yellow status then turn the status into “Red”. Now restart / repeat the step. After completion of the job force complete.
Before turning the status to Red/Green, make sure whether the load is of Full/Delta and also the time stamp is properly verified.
Time Stamp Verification:
Select Info Package-> Process Monitor -> Header -> Select Request -> Go to source System (Header->Source System) -> Sm37-> give the request and check the status of the request in the source system -> If it is in active, then we have to check whether there any struck/failed tRFC’s/IDOC’s If the request is in Cancelled status in Source system -> Check the Info Pack status in BW system -> If IP status is also in failed state/cancelled state -> Check the data load type (FULL or DELTA) -> if the status is full then we can turn the Info Package status red and then we can repeat/restart the Info package/job. -> If the load is of Delta type then we have to go RSA7 in source system-> (Compare the last updated time in Source System SM37 back ground job)) Check the time stamp -> If the time stamp in RSA7 is matching then turn the Info Package status to Red -> Restart the job. It’ll fetch the data in the next iterationIf the time stamp is not updated in RSA7 -> Turn the status into Green -> Restart the job. It’ll fetch the data in the next iteration.
Source System
BW System
Source System RSA7
Source System SM37
Action
I/P Status RED(Cancelled)
I/P Status (Active)
Time stamp matching with SM37 last updated time
Time stamp matching with RSA7 time stamp
Turn the I/P Status into Red and Restart the Job
I/P Status RED(Cancelled)
I/P Status (Cancelled)
Time stamp matching with SM37 last updated time
Time stamp matching with RSA7 time stamp
Turn the I/P Status into Red and Restart the Job
I/P Status RED(Cancelled)
I/P Status (Active)
Time stamp is not matching with SM37 last updated time
Time stamp is not matching with RSA7 time stamp
Turn the I/P status into Green and Restart the job
I/P Status RED(Cancelled)
I/P Status (Cancelled)
Time stamp is not matching with SM37 last updated time
Time stamp is not matching with RSA7 time stamp
Turn the I/P status into Green and Restart the job
Processing the IDOC Manually in BI:
When there is an IDOC which is stuck in the BW and successfully completed the background job in the source system, in such cases we can process the IDOC manually in the BW. Go to Info Package -> Process Monitor -> Details -> select the IDOC which is in yellow status(stuck) -> Right click -> Process the IDOC manually -> it’ll take some time to get processed.******Make sure that we can process the IDOC in BW only when the back ground job is completed in the source system and stuck in the BW only.   3.      DSO Activation Failure: When there is a failure in DSO activation step, check whether the data is loading to DSO from PSA or from the source system directly. If the data is loading to DSO from PSA, then activate the DSO manually as follows
Right click DSO Activation Step -> Target Administration -> Select the latest request in DSO -> select Activate -> after request turned to green status, Restart the job.
If the data is loading directly from the source system to DSO, then delete the bad request in the PSA table, then restart the job
4.      Failure in Drop Index/ Compression step: When there is a failure in Drop Index/ compression step, check the Error Message. If it is failed due to “Lock Issue”, it means job failed because of the parallel process or action which we have performed on that particular cube or object. Before restarting the job, make sure whether the object is unlocked or not. There is a chance of failure in Index step in case of TREX server issues. In such cases engage BASIS team and get the info reg TREX server and repeat/ Restart the job once the server is fixed. Compression Job may fail when there is any other job which is trying to load the data or accessing from the Cube. In such case job fails with the error message as “Locked by ......” Before restarting the job, make sure whether the object is unlocked or not. 5. Roll Up failure: “Roll Up” fails due to Contention Issue. When there is Master Data load is in progress, there is a chance of Roll up failure due to resource contention. In such case before restarting the job/ step, make sure whether the master data load is completed or not. Once the master data load finishes restart the job. 6. Change Run – Job finishes with error RSM 756       When there is a failure in the attribute change run due to Contention, we have to wait for the other job (Attribute change run) completion. Only one ACR can run in BW at a time. Once the other ACR job is completed, then we can restart/repeat the job. We can also run the ACR manually in case of nay failures. Go to RSA1-> Tool -> Apply Hierarchy/Change Run -> select the appropriate Request in the list for which we have to run ACR -> Execute. 7. Transformation In-active: In case of any changes in the production/moved to the production without saving properly or any modification done in the transformation without changing, in such cases there is a possibility of Load failure with the error message as “ Failure due to Transformation In active”. In such cases, we will have to activate the Transformation which is inactive. Go to RSA1 -> select the transformation -> Activate In case of no authorization for activating the transformation in production system, we can do it by using the Function Module - RSDG_TRFN_ACTIVATE Try the following steps to use the program "RSDG_TRFN_ACTIVATE” here you will need to enter certain details:Transformation ID: Transformation’s Tech Name (ID)Object Status: ACTType of Source: “Source Name”Source name: “Source Tech Name”Type of Target: Target NameTarget name: “Target Tech Name”
Execute. The Transformation status will be turned into Active.
Then we can restart the job. Job will be completed successfully.
     8. Process Chain Started from the yesterday’s failed step:
In few instances, process chain starts from the step which was failed in the previous iteration instead of starting from the “Start” step.
In such cases we will have to delete the previous day’s process chain log, to start the chain form the beginning (from Start variant).
Go To ST13-> Select the Process Chain -> Log -> Delete.
Or we can use Function Module for Process Chain Log Deletion: RSPROCESS_LOG_DELETE.
Give the log id of the process chain, which we can get from the ST13 screen.
Then we can restart the chain.
Turning the Process Chain Status using Function Module:
At times, when there is no progress in any of the process chains which is running for a long time without any progress, we will have to turn the status of the entire chain/Particular step by using the Function Module.
Function Module: RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH
The program "RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH" for making the status of a particular process as finished.
To turn any DTP load which was running long, so please try the following steps to use the program "RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH" here you need to enter the following details:
LOG ID: this id will be the id of the parent chain.
CHAIN: here you will need to enter the chain name which has failed process.
TYPE: Type of failed step can be found out by checking the table "RSPCPROCESSLOG" via "SE16" or "ZSE16" by entering the Variant & Instance of the failed step. The table "RSPCPROCESSLOG" can be used to find out various details regarding a particular process.
INSTANCE & VARIANT: Instance & Variant name can be found out by right clicking on the failed step and then by checking the "Displaying Messages Options" of the failed step & then checking the chain tab.
STATE: State is used to identify the overall state of the process. Below given are the various states for a step.
R Ended with errors
G Successfully completed
F Completed
A Active
X Canceled
P Planned
S Skipped at restart
Q Released
Y Ready
Undefined
J Framework Error upon Completion (e.g. follow-on job missing)
9. Hierarchy save Failure:
When there a failure in Hierarchy Save, then we have to follow the below process...
If there is an issue with Hierarchy save, we will have to schedule the Info packages associated with the Hierarchies manually. Then we have to run Attribute Change Run to update the changes to the associated Targets. Please find the below mentioned the step by step process...
ST13-> Select Failed Process Chain -> Select Hierarchy Save Step -> Rt click Display Variant -> Select the info package in the hierarchy -> Go to RSA! -> Run the Info Package Manually -> Tools -> Run Hierarchy/Attribute Change Run -> Select Hierarchy List (Here you can find the List of Hierarchies) -> Execute.

Used PowerMac G4

I am considering on buying this PowerMac G4: http://www.powermax.com/parts/show/c-u65190
I'd like to know if this machine will last me 2-3 years. I plan on using it for school work and do some basic video and photo editing. This will be running OS X 10.5. Is this is a good buy can someone direct me to what kind of upgrades I may need besides the RAM and HDD. Also, where can I find the official specs for this model?
Thank you.

To give you some perspective I purchased an empty (no HD, no RAM) FW800 Dual 1.25 GHz from eBay in January of 2006 for $500. The machine is obviously holding its' value pretty well if they are still going for close to $450 with minimal RAM and HD.
I have replaced my Dual G4 for my use with a MacBook Pro, but the G4 still serves us well, I consider it a real workhorse. It now has 2 GB of RAM, over 500 GB of disk space and is running Tiger 10.4.11 with Classic also installed. I would think it would be great for everything but perhaps the Video Editing you are mentioning. The most taxing thing we do with it is burning various video items to DVD via Toast Titanium which it does reliably, but not as fast the the MacBook Pro.
I have run it with Leopard and it seems to run fine, but I don't want to lose the ability to run Classic so probably won't upgrade it for some time. I'm expecting that we'll use it for at least productivity activities for a few more years.
What is the jump in price if you start looking for used G5s?

What are the major risks buying used lenses ?

i just bought my first dslr, and i was wondering what are the major risks buying used lenses ?

You need to be able to inspect and test the lens.
Look for obvious signs of physical damage, drops, etc. (cracks, dents, etc.) A lens normally will get some signs of wear but as it's a used lens, you expect *some* wear... you're really looking for signs of damage.
Remove both front and rear caps. Look through the lens into a bright no-contrast background (a white wall, a blue sky, etc.) and check the optics. You're looking for signs of mold growth or damage to coatings. Minor dust on internal optics wont impact the lens performance... so while you wouldn't want major amounts of dirt... don't worry too much about minor bits of dust (I've actually helped prove this to someone by clipping a 3M PostIt note down to a tiny 1/4" x 1/4" size and sticking it on the front glass. Take a photo... nothing shows in the photo (even a piece of "dirt" that big wont show because the camera cannot focus on anything that close to the lens.)
Rotate the focus ring from end to end. You should feel a smooth and consistent amount of friction as you rotate the focus ring. There should be no rough spots. Listen to the lens as you do this... there should be no grinding noises.
Do the same with the zoom ring but in addition to checking for smooth consistent performance (no sticky or rough spots) you're also checking to make sure nothing seems excessively worn (nothing wobbles loose... very heavily used lenses can do that after enough wear.)
Connect the lens to the camera and make sure the camera can completely operate the auto-focus motors without a problem and/or if it's an image stabilized lens that the IS components are working.
Set the camera to max aperture (e.g. f/22, f/32.. depending on the lens) and press your camera's "depth of field preview" button (if you don't know which button is your DOF preview, check your manual. Canon tends to move that one around a bit but it's almost always on the front side of the camera near the lens mount.) You want to press and release it a few times. This will cause the lens aperture blades to stop down to the aperture you set. Release... do this while watching the lens. You should see the aperture blades move in and out (well... they snap in and out very quickly). You want to make sure it works ok, the camera gets no error codes, and there's no signs that anything is sticking.
And then there is the focus test...
Focus the camera preferably at a FLAT surface that has lots of detail.... such as the brick wall of a building. Make sure the camera is level and that the camera's focal plane is parallel to the plane of the wall. Take a test photo at low f-stop and inspect. You're checking to verify that the focus works and that the focus is reasonable across the image. As you inspect from left ot right and top to bottom you are looking to make sure the focus is more or less equal (if the right side of the image is focused... but the left side of the image is soft... it would indicate that lens elements are skewed (lens isn't collimated). It's difficult for a lens to get into this situation unless it was dropped and you'd probably see signs of damage.

Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

I'm confused about buying used smart cases for iPad mini 1, 2, and 3.

I'm trying to buy used smart covers for the iPad mini 1, 2, and 3 but I'm not sure which smart cover versions will fit which mini.
So far, in pink, I've been able to find MGNN2ZM/A and MF061ZM/A. But I want all the other colors too.
MacMall.com says MGNN2ZM/A is compatible with iPad mini 1, 2, and 3 and MF061ZM/A is compatible with iPad mini 1 and 2. (Apple doesn't provide the part numbers on their web page)
Basically, I could really use a list of iPad mini, iPad and iPad Air accessories' parts numbers, and the device/cover compatibilities, if such a list exists.
Eventually, I want to buy smart covers in every color for iPad 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (Air), and 6 (Air 2).
Thank you for your help in advance ^^

Advice on buying Used/New Macbook Pro

I'm giving some serious thought to buying a macbook pro unibody and I'm trying to decide on whether to buy a near-perfect used machine as opposed to a new one. I'm after a 13" and have no interest in anything larger... actually wish there was a netbook-sized mackbook. And truth be known, if the iPad had a iSight camera built in, I would probably be heading down that pad. The macbook will mainly be used around the house and occasionally at wi-fi enabled off-site locations. We're also eligible for a educational discount, so if I buy new... that comes into play.
If I buy used, I would have to see the machine in person locally, watch it run, use it... and know that it's hopefully still eligible for AppleCare if ownership is transferred? I'd also want the original sales receipt and I might like to opt for one on one because even though I've had my iMac for over a year... I'm still learning.
Having only owned a couple of IBM ThinkPads and a WinBook way back when... I was just curious about whether the mackbooks are reliable and sturdy (my ThinkPad has a titanium frame), and whether its worth it to score a great deal on a gently used one that is loaded with more memory and/or larger HDD and possibly a bunch of apps or spend the same for a base model?

"... whether its worth it to score a great deal on a gently used one that is loaded with more memory and/or larger HDD and possibly a bunch of apps or spend the same for a base model? "
1. What do you feel is a great deal and where have you seen one?
2. Anyone who sells you a machine with third party apps needs to give you the original disks or you are both in violation of SLA's. Keep that in mind.
3. If you buy a used machine and the owner touts it has Applecare you need to make sure he/she purchased the AppleCare from Apple or AASP. Otherwise it's not transferable to you.

Make sure it is in perfect working order before you turn over any money.
Test connected to Internet.   Test Safari and several other apps for crashes.
If it passes this test, it must now have find my iPhone turned off by the seller.   They must also remove the device from their iCloud account.
*****Please observe this.   If the seller can't turn off find my iPhone, then it is not his iPad to sell.   It will lock when you try to activate and will be worthless.****
If this is the owner of the iPad he can also remotely erase the iPad with iCloud.
