Bye G5... is this really the end???

Well, it's been a sad week as it really looks as if my G5 dp 2.0GHZ tower has finally gone to the great PC in the sky.
I spent four days trying to resurrect the old beast which started acting erratically - with delays, freezes and ultra-fast flashing buttons (?). Thought it was the clock battery as it did something similar before, but alas not. Eventually managed to get the DVD drive to run hardware tools and came up as a failed logic board. The prices I can see online for a repair have been too much - about $800, so have invested in a new iMac.
My question is - is this common enough for apple to assist? I know this is an old machine and well past the applecare warranty, but I can't help but feel a bit short-changed as it does look like a common fault, if online comments are to be believed. Suffice to say the computer was well looked after, updated properly and was cleaned properly.

This is a user to user forum.
Thus any "common" fault is still less than 1% of Apple's userbase.
Apple often helps in upgrades at Genius bars, but usually at cost, since it is well after warranty. You can check with your local Apple authorized service providers. Just note, since you are migrating from PowerPC to Intel Mac, these tips are important:

You should also check compatibility of your desired applications and peripherals before proceeding:

If you can't find them to be compatible, consider a used or refurbished Mac that is in better shape than yours*:

24 hours so far downloading Lion and no end in sight. Is this really the way forward?

Here in the UK a lot of us have fairly pathetic download speeds, so I ask Apple is this really the way forward?

Same for me - started 20.July about 7pm in germany with VDSL capable of 2.5MB/s
Download Started well soon but dropped to about 300KB/s. Stopped and went to bed at about 10pm.
Resumed at 21. July at 7am - between 100KB/s and 300 KB/s for about 90min. Stopped and got to work.
Resumed now at about 2:30p.m. lying between 50KB/s and 100KB/s :-(

Is this REALLY the easiest/best way to do this?

I'm no SQL guru by any means, but I can get by. Here is some background.
I am running Perfmon Data Collector Sets to collect performance counters.
I am using Relog.exe to take the .blg files and pushing them into a database
I am attempting to write a query that will ultimately get the information out of the database and see if I can aggregate the data a bit as well. If the last part is better off doing in Excel (where this data will ultimately end up for charting), then I will
do that part there.
Here is the table layouts when you import the .blg files:
Table name: CounterData
Columns:
GUID
CounterID
RecordIndex
CounterDateTime
CounterValue
FirstValueA
FirstValueB
SecondValueA
SecondValueB
MultiCount
Table Name: CounterDetails
CounterID
MachineName
ObjectName
CounterName
CounterType
DefaultScale
InstanceName
InstanceIndex
ParentName
ParentObjectID
TimeBaseA
TimeBaseB
I need to pull multiple sets of data out of these tables, so I built the following query:
USE PDB
SELECT
CAST(LEFT(CounterDateTime, 16) as smalldatetime) AS CounterDateTime,
REPLACE(CounterDetails.MachineName,'\\','') AS ComputerName,
CounterDetails.ObjectName + ISNULL('(' + CounterDetails.InstanceName + ')','') + '\' + CounterDetails.CounterName AS [Counter],
CounterData.CounterValue
FROM CounterData
FULL OUTER JOIN CounterDetails ON CounterData.CounterID = CounterDetails.CounterID
FULL OUTER JOIN DisplayToID ON CounterData.GUID = DisplayToID.GUID
WHERE CounterDetails.ObjectName = 'Processor'
AND CounterDetails.CounterName = '% Processor Time'
AND CounterDetails.InstanceName = '_Total'
UNION
SELECT
CAST(LEFT(CounterDateTime, 16) as smalldatetime) AS CounterDateTime,
REPLACE(CounterDetails.MachineName,'\\','') AS ComputerName,
CounterDetails.ObjectName + ISNULL('(' + CounterDetails.InstanceName + ')','') + '\' + CounterDetails.CounterName AS [Counter],
CounterData.CounterValue
FROM CounterData
FULL OUTER JOIN CounterDetails ON CounterData.CounterID = CounterDetails.CounterID
FULL OUTER JOIN DisplayToID ON CounterData.GUID = DisplayToID.GUID
WHERE CounterDetails.ObjectName = 'Web Service'
AND CounterDetails.CounterName = 'Bytes Received/sec'
AND CounterDetails.InstanceName = 'AppName'
ORDER BY 1
Is this REALLY the best way to do this?
Also, trying to figure out how to build in data aggregation in 5 minute average blocks.
Any assistance appreciated!

Erland,
Thanks for your response.
The related items in the table are CounterID, in a nutshell, what I want to do is the following:
Get the data from the CounterDetails table that holds the MachineName, CounterName, CounterType and so forth.
CounterID MachineName ObjectName CounterName CounterType DefaultScale InstanceName InstanceIndex ParentName ParentObjectID TimeBaseA TimeBaseB

Thanks for your time!

Is this really the best I'm going to get?

2 years with BT and had awful connection and speed issues, many numerous long calls to India doing first line tests, mostly being told that I would receive a call back and never do. Recently informed of an upgrade at the exchange but speeds dipped since and have not been any better since.
Been reading these forums for a while, I am plugged into master socket, the one with BT Openreach logo on, ring wire removed, connected for over 3 days, no other phones in sockets. I was always told as I am 1.6k from the exchange speeds were not to be great but next door shows as 4-6k, I'm lucky to have dial up speeds most of the time.
It appears that other people within feet of me are having decent speeds, mostly via Talk Talk I hasten to add but was told that it would make no difference as BT are the main supplier.
The quiet line check appears in order, no noises or crackles seems a little quiet but reported that online a week ago but not heard anything since.
I would be grateful and see from your experience is this really the best I'm going to get?

Is this really the response that you want your customer support to give.

Sorry for the lenght of the original email but I had quite a few issues that have happen. I just wanted a second source saying that this canned response is the actual response that Best Buy wants to stand behind before I either go up the ladder to make sure that the upper management are wanting to let go of business for what I consider not that hard of a fix on Best Buy's side. So far no one that I've talked to or chatted with or have received an email from seems to have actually listened/read what the problems I've had are. The best I've received so far appears to be a quick glance and canned response. I feel this response was in poor taste considering the issue that I described about the website itself and the issue I was trying to deal with in looking at product on the website.
There wasn't even a mention that John, the employee that actually tried to help would get any kind of attention for doing his job in an environment of no one else wanting to do theirs. The way all of this is coming off to me is that this is how Best Buy actually wants to do business. Is this the case?
Emails as follows ......

On April 24, 2015 between the hours of 6:00 - 7:30 PM my wife and I went into your store located at 6455 N Decatur Blvd
Las Vegas, NV 89131 store number 1421. This was the absolute worst customer experience I have received in quite a long time. I am an elite plus member and spend thousands of dollars at best buy every year.
Upon entering this store we noticed that the displays looked even smaller than they have over recent months. We went in looking for two simple items. One was a HDTV antenna and the other a 3d blu ray movie that was a new release. I asked one associate if they had the items in the store and he looked up the movie for me and said that they had four copies of it and pointed me in the direction of where it should reside. He also told me to ask about the antenna at the appropriate department.
Upon, going to the area where the movies are kept we became confused, and disappointed as the rhyme and reason behind the sorting of new releases of blu ray, 3d, dvd, tv, etc all seem to make no sense. The store used to have all new releases in one big area where you would find it if it was released fairly new on whatever format it was sold in the new release section. Not any longer. Now the areas are small and the top tabs have things like favorite 3d releases/TV shows right now/Dvd's on sale all next to each other that make no sense. Why are the sections so small and why are they so convoluted? I couldn't find what I was looking for and since it was a new release and could find the blu ray version and the dvd version I was surely just missing it. Apparently I wasn't the only one.
We went looking for someone to assist us. There was no one to be found in that department. So we wandered around the store for a while looking for help and looking at product. We made it from the far back corner of the store all the way to the registers in the front of the store without coming across a single person who worked as an associate. We came across the direct TV rep, and a solar panel rep who were more than willing to sell everyone that walked by their products, which doesn't look well since they are doing their job but making it more obvious that the actual store is lacking in the customer service department.
After we made it all the way back to the front of the store I asked the same associate who couldn't quite help me all the way to speak to the store manager. We didn't get to the store manager because he was off, which is fine. We did however get to talk to an assistant who's name is John. He tried everything he could to help. He was on top of his game and had excellent customer service skills. It wasn't enough however as his computer said they had the 3d blu ray I was looking for in stock, four of them, and after leaving us in the area where we could talk to the associate who specialized in the area about HD antennas he looked for about twenty minutes and couldn't find the product either. During this twenty minutes the associate that was supposed to help us was wondering around the store I guess helping another customer, at least I'm hoping as she didn't state that was what she was doing but just kept saying that she would be with us in a minute. During this time my wife and I had talked to two more customers who were in the same boat as us. A lovely woman who was prepared to buy a TV and Blu Ray player on the spot and just couldn't decide which model of player would work for her. She was waiting even longer than my wife and I.
Upon John's return I had to ask him what was going on in the store, and he couldn't give an answer. I understand that employees cannot talk about the store policies and the politics and staffing and such but I wanted to make sure that he knew that my experience was that there wasn't that many customers in the store and that there didn't in my opinion seem to be a huge lack of employees at that moment. John tried to make up my experience by offering me the product I was looking for in a different format and that they would order it in the format that I was looking for and letting me exchange it at no cost because of the hassle I went through. This is exactly what I would have expected and he did a great job. Absolutely everything and everyone else in that store fell short of every expectation. I did not take him up on his offer but thanked him for doing a great job.
Upon coming home and trying to send this email through the website. On a few different occasions I was met with an error that my message did not get through. That was the extent of the message and there was no support given on what to do next nor was there any information on where to send an email. It did give the toll free best buy number but not what numbers to choose to get to the correct department.
Then on Friday May 8th, I was looking to purchase a monitor larger than 70" and proceeded to look on bestbuy.com for said monitors. When looking to see what my closest store had in stock I decided it would be easier to call the store to find out what they did have in store rather than clicking each individual monitor and checking if it was available in my chosen store. The first store I called was 1044 and I was helped in a timely manner. They said they carried only one monitor that was 70" or above in store. Then I called store 358 twice. The first time I called the phone rang for about a minute and then I was placed on store hold without a greeting or a can you please hold. I just heard the sound of someone picking up the phone and then store music. I was then on hold for over ten minutes before I decided to call back. When I called back this time the phone just rang until it went busy. I then decided to call store 542 where I was greeted within thirty seconds. I asked them what they had in stock and was transferred. The person I was transferred to did not give me their name I asked them what they had over 70" and they weren't sure there was just silence for a lot longer than there should have been so I asked if there was an easier way to find out what was available on the best buy website in store. She explained that I could click the product and see if it was available at the certain store and I explained that I wanted to be able to look at several products at once like all the monitors that were over 70" and see if they were available in my closest stores. She kept explaining it to me in the way I was already doing it and I kept trying to explain that I already did that and was looking to try to do more than one product at a time. She then told me that she didn't have time for this and that I should just go to amazon or something.
So based off of my last in store experience. The lack of any help I can find on your website for situations like this and because of the utter disrespect shown to me over the phone I not only purchased my monitor through amazon.com based on her suggestions but I will not be doing any business with best buy either in store or online again. Not only have you lost the thousands that I spend there on a yearly basis but you are also now out the thousands of dollars that I spend there on a yearly basis for my company.
Except for John in store and the phone experience with 1044 I am beside myself in the complete downhill slope that best buy has taken.

Hello marikcraven,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, not only surrounding your store and online experience, but your feedback regarding the response you received. It certainly seems that we’ve let you down on multiple levels.
It is discouraging to hear that you, your wife, and John were unable to locate the 3D Blu-ray movie you desired, although our system indicated we had a few available. While I’m delighted to hear you were satisfied with John’s effort, it is disheartening to hear the rest of the staff left you so underwhelmed, and ultimately it doesn’t sound like you left with your antenna either. I am truly sorry for any frustration or dismay this visit may have caused. I’m glad that you ensured you brought up your concerns surrounding the lack of assistance with John.
In regards to your experience with BestBuy.com, it is strange that you encountered trouble when sending your message. Although, it seems that you were finally able to send the message, I am sorry for any frustration it may have caused you. I’m sure your frustration only heightened once you spent the time dealing with the error only to receive a response you found unsatisfactory.
As far as searching for inventory on BestBuy.com, sadly there isn’t a method to look at inventory for an individual store unless you are checking out the store’s clearance or open-box items. This would mean you would have to go through each item and check out it’s availability in your area. Typically this is a much more satisfying experience if you are able to narrow your search down to a few that you are truly interested in. With that said, I understand that this may not always be the best method. I apologize if you found this to be more of a hassle than you anticipated when you began your search for a 70” monitor, and if you had trouble contacting the individual stores regarding your inventory inquiries.
In the end, it’s clear we failed to delight you in store, online, and with our ability to address your concerns, and this resulted in you making a purchase elsewhere. I am terribly sorry that this has been your experience, as it is not indicative of the experience we strive to provide our customers. I truly hope that in the future you will feel confident enough to give us a chance to provide you with a better experience than the one you’ve described.
If you should have any questions, please let us know!
Respectfully,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

FF hangs entire PC apparently loading Flash content. I have 3.6.6 and latest Flash. Computer is totally locked for 45 seconds.Is this really the intent?

I have FF 3.6.6 and Flash 10.1. When I enter a site the entire computer hangs. The mouse operates but I cannot go to another site, leave the browser or even bring up the Task Manager. The entire PC is hung. This lasts 45 seconds of course and then everything is fine. Is this how the plugin containment code is really supposed to work?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.aol.com

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process access to internet.
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process to see if that helps.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Is this really an end user tool?

The documentation that I've read so far describes Discoverer as a reporting and ad/hoc query tool for the end users. True? Is this product usually rolled out to the end users? Is there minimal or substantial training involved?
Thanks!

We are using it as such. We've found that users find the tool itself easy to grasp. The harder part is understanding the data and how it's organized. Turning users loose on a relational database was a nightmare. Now that we have a much simplified data warehouse available it works much better, since they can more easily find what they need.

I want to enter the password for a secure WIFI network on several iphones. If I do this, can the end users somehow extract the ip address and password for the wifi network from the iphone and use it from a pc (at home, for example)?

I want to enter the password for a secured wifi network on several iphones. If I do this, is it possible for the end users to somehow extract the ip address and password information and use it from a pc/laptop/other mobile device. For security reasons, I don't want them to be able to to this.
Please advise,
Thanks.

If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol. If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it. Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

Is this really the only way to download a CD to iTunes? It's way too slow...

Hi, I have tons of CDs I want to upload into iTunes using my new Dell computer. I just inserted my first CD. It has 11 songs and says it will take 39.8 minutes and is taking as long to download each song as it does to listen to it. This is not going to be possible to do with hundreds of CDs I have. Should I go back to using my Microsoft Media Player? That takes just a few seconds to download on. I don't understand why iTunes takes for eternity....been over 20 minutes barely through the first half of the fist CD...will take years at this pace. Thoughts??? Did you go through this too? I already give up after midway through my first CD, can't use itunes if it's going to take this long to transfer my music onto it...

So...basically I just want to know if this is normal, to take this long to transfer music onto iTunes.
1. It took 40 minutes to upload a 40 minute CD onto iTunes.
2. It is taking equally long to transfer music that I drag from my Microsoft music library onto iTunes. I started doing this hours ago today and am only on the 4th CD (have hundreds so how long is this going to take? Is it normal to take this long?)
I had Microsoft Music on my old Dell computer from 2001, I NEVER had to update it, and it took seconds to upload each song, not minutes like iTunes....and that was on my old computer...I just bought a new one I'm using, had to re-install iTunes to the latest version and for the first time downloading CD/s/existing music onto it and it's taking forever. Is it because of the latest 10.5 version? Is it normal? Is everyone else experiencing this? Is it a problem with my computer or iTunes setting? Am I doing something wrong? Please if anyone can share their experience for my reference I would really appreciate it, thanks.

HT5139 Is this really the only way to back up service settings?

Am I completely missing something here, or is Time Machine supposed to be the only easy way to back up service settings in Mountain Lion with Server.app? Is there really no way to export/import service settings anymore? It sounds to me from what I've read and seen of Server.app that if, for example, my DHCP settings get mucked up, I have to take the entire server offline, boot to the recovery partition, and restore from Time Machine? I can't just stop that ONE service and re-import the settings while leaving everything else up and running for 100+ users? Someone please tell me I'm missing something obvious.

Which service?
The "serveradmin" command line controls are always available. They can do much more than the GUI can.

This spells the end for Blackberry

what a disaster. Been on the phone to Blackberry, Vodafone, Geek Squad all who have no idea how to resolve syncing BB Passport with Outlook 2014 on Windows 8.1. Quite simply, it doesnt work. I cant believe a phone that sells itself as being for the serious business user quite simply does not work in one area where previously, it synced flawlessly allowing the user to keep all calender entries and contacts up to date as well as email etc. Blackberry, you have epicly failed here and its so frustrating. The syncing of contacts and calender entries was a pivotal and important strength of your product. Its what kept me as a Blackberry customer but alas, its just doesnt work any more. RIP Blackberry.

I have not used wired sync in years so I wont be able to assist in that.
I did however move on to Outlook.com email. Might be same as Live but not positive.
With Outlook.com email address you can sync your emails, calendar, contacts easy over the air with active sync and no more wires needed.
I used Outlook on my PC and downloaded the Outlook connector to access my Outlook.com emails.

Then for my old gmail accounts, I just moved everything over in outlook (since it was setup with all my email accounts) to some new fodlers in outlook.com and forwarded all my gmail to outlook.com. I did this on 3 accounts on Gmail as gmail blocks Active Sync on non andriod devices.
After doing this lttle bit I no longer need wires. everything syncs and my frustration has been less and I dont miss any emails from the old accounts as they are forwarded.

Is this really the best way Adobe can find to help customers - ask a bunch of stingers?

?

Adobe has a number of ways to help customers... I don't think one could be considered best compared to others... though the one that gives the help that's needed could be considered good enough. Do you need help?

Bye G5... is this really the end???
