Cpu speed and ilife08 - help needed

help...tried installing ilife 08 on my powerbook g4, however can not install i-movie. may be that this requires intel cpu...currently system spec is Model Name: PowerBook G4 17"
Model Identifier: PowerBook5,5
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Processor Speed: 1.5 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.8.4f1
....does this mean i dont have an intel cpu...if so, can i upgrade...and any ideas on how.
cheers

According to the iLife '08 system requirements:
"iMovie requires a Mac with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster). "
When I installed iLife '08 on my PBG4 1.67GHz it told me that iMovie would not install. It did however, take me to the web to download the previous version for free.

Detect cpu speed and memory

hi! i'm a newbie in java.
i have a web project requirement that needs to detect the client's cpu speed and memory and diplays it on the webpage. could i do this in java applet? can someone direct to the right resources on how i would be able to do this.
thank u so much!

Aside from the System.capabilities class, I don't believe you
can get
anything more without using one of the wrappers like
Director, or Zinc.

How to get statistics (or precise data) about cpu speed and RAM

My problem is I want to determine the CPU speed of the computer is running the applet.
I know there's no way to obtain in a simply (and standar) way this property, so I've thinked about generating statistic methods for do it (something like executing a loop a defined iterations)
My doubt is what to put inside this loop, beacuse I would like to know just not CPU speed (or satistics about it), I need also free RAM statistics, so I've thinked there would be some specific java instructions to give a relationship of these data I need.
My question is if someone has done (or has thinked about) this kind of classes before me, and can tell me what is the best way to make the same.

MBP cpu temps and fanspeed help

So I have a MBP intle core i5 2.5GHz with 4 GB of ram, I thinkits either a 2008 model or 2010, I bought it new in 2010.
It has always gotten pretty hot, but thats what MBPs are supposed to do, I get it, but lately I have been testing temps and RPM with istat pro and rmcfancontrol and I think there may be a problem.
my temps all seem fine exceptmy CPU temp, which is regularly above 70 degrees. when doing semi extensive things like watching videos, streaming netflix or menial photoshop tasks, it is generally 80-85, with the fans around 3.5k RPM to 5K RPM. If I plug in my new 21 inch monitor (1920x1028 resolution) and play online poker, watch videos, or any design tasks involving adobe programs, ive seen it jump as high as 94 degrees, and im sure RPM atleast 6k, these may both go even higher as I have not tested the max yet.
this is usually when I have say an online poker lobby with tables going, a tracking software db running, skype on and firefox on. one question I have is, will tthere be less strain on the cpu if I drop the resolution of my new monitor? I dont want to drop it past 1600x1000 (not sure of the exact dimensions) because then it is defeating the purpose of why I bought a new larger screen with a high res.
second, I already run a desk sized fan on my MBP while it sits on an elevated pad (0.25 in approx) with 2 build in fans, left and right. The cpu is located just above the ESC button and that is where the heat is obviously centered so i place my cooling efforts as much as I can on that area.
my next question is, with fancontrol, how high can i force the fans to run and for how long while doing these kind of tasks on dual monitors? Can I set the left side fan to run at 5-6k as a default when playing a session of online poker (this is my part time job so its an important question) while leaving the right fan at 2k? or would it be better to keep them balanced? how long can they run at high rpm before it could cause problems? how long can my mbp run at constant temps of 80-95 degrees before it is dangerous for it? like I said it is mostly common for it to be between 75-85 at most times.
and last but not least, could this be a defect that it runs at such high temps? could it be my fans that are just plugged up and need a cleaning or replacing?
all suggestions are welcome, thank you

Of course. A smaller resolution will require less performance to your dedicated graphic card. Note that your Mac has got two graphic cards (an Intel card and a NVIDIA GeForce one), and your computer switches to the dedicated graphic when it requires more graphic performance.

We don't recommend smcFanControl because your Mac knows what's the correct fan speed and because this application modifies the SMC.
It's not good that your fans run at maximum speed for a long time (5000 rpm is too high). Now, the best you can do is to reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 If you have problems with the fan speed, this should solve the problem.

If the SMC reset doesn't work, I suspect two things: the first, that you have a hardware problem, and the second, that there's a process eating CPU and memory when you are using the computer, because those temperatures are not normal. Also, at that fan speed, they may fail

[Mostly Sorted] Extracting tags - regexp_substr and count help needed!

My original query got sorted, but additional regexp_substr and count help is required further on down!
Hi,
I have a table on a 10.2.0.3 database which contains a clob field (sql_stmt), with contents that look something like:
SELECT <COB_DATE>, col2, .... coln
FROM   tab1, tab2, ...., tabn
WHERE tab1.run_id = <RUNID>
AND    tab2.other_col = '<OTHER TAG>'(That's a highly simplified sql_stmt example, of course - if they were all that small we'd not be needing a clob field!).
I wanted to extract all the tags from the sql_stmt field for a given row, so I can get my (well not "mine" - I'd never have designed something like this, but hey, it works, sorta, and I'm improving it as and where I can!) pl/sql to replace the tags with the correct values. A tag is anything that's in triangular brackets (eg. <RUNID> from the above example)
So, I did this:
SELECT     SUBSTR (sql_stmt,
                   INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL),
                   INSTR (substr(sql_stmt, INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL)), '>', 1, 1)
                   ) tag
FROM       export_jobs
WHERE      exp_id = p_exp_id
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (LENGTH (sql_stmt) - LENGTH (REPLACE (sql_stmt, '<')))Which I thought would be fine (having tested it on a text column). However, it runs very poorly against a clob column, for some reason (probably doesn't like the substr, instr, etc on the clob, at a guess) - the waits show "direct path read".
When I cast the sql_stmt as a varchar2 like so:
with my_tab as (select cast(substr(sql_stmt, instr(sql_stmt, '<', 1), instr(sql_stmt, '>', -1) - instr(sql_stmt, '<', 1) + 1) as varchar2(4000)) sql_stmt
                from export_jobs
                WHERE      exp_id = p_exp_id)
SELECT     SUBSTR (sql_stmt,
                   INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL),
                   INSTR (substr(sql_stmt, INSTR (sql_stmt, '<', 1, LEVEL)), '>', 1, 1)
                   ) tag
FROM       my_tab
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (LENGTH (sql_stmt) - LENGTH (REPLACE (sql_stmt, '<')))it runs blisteringly fast in comparison, except when the substr'd sql_stmt is over 4000 chars, of course! Using dbms_lob instr and substr etc doesn't help either.
So, I thought maybe I could find an xml related method, and from this link:get xml node name in loop , I tried:
select t.column_value.getrootelement() node
from (select sql_stmt xml from export_jobs where exp_id = 28) xml,
table (xmlsequence(xml.xml.extract('//*'))) tBut I get this error: ORA-22806: not an object or REF. (It might not be the way to go after all, as it's not proper xml, being as there are no corresponding close tags, but I was trying to think outside the box. I've not needed to use xml stuff before, so I'm a bit clueless about it, really!)
I tried casting sql_stmt into an xmltype, but I got: ORA-22907: invalid CAST to a type that is not a nested table or VARRAY
Is anyone able to suggest a better method of trying to extract my tags from the clob column, please?

I don't know if it may work for you, but I had a similar activity where I defined sql statements with bind variables (:var_name) and then I simply looked for witch variables to bind in that statement through this query.

Various Direct Debit and Billing Help Needed

FAILURE TO DELIVER BILL IN PAPER FORMAT: Firstly when I discovered that my account number was encrypted in the email and that I could not pay the bill online, without having the whole account number in full - I contacted BT who told me that they would post my bill and it would arrive in paper form. A week later, no sign of it so phoned again and again I was told that another paper copy would be sent out - waited another week - still no sign! Got a reminder email that my bill had not been paid - doh! I knew that but I was trying to get that sorted out! So phoned again today and the guy in India or wherever the heck he is, told me that he would setup a profile on BT.com for me and this would allow me to pay online.
TEMPORARY ACCESS TO BT.COM?: The email address which this member of staff had set up on BT.com for me was identical to my old btinternet.com account minus a number! The new email address with this new account is somewhat different and when I try to edit simple information on the profile page, it does not allow me to do so. Can anyone explain why?
UNABLE TO SET UP DIRECT DEBIT: I log-in to My BT (whether it's temp. access or not) and then click on Bills and Payments but instead of more options I get a graphic which has got "Ugrade to an online account" on one side and "Help with Billing and Payments" on the other side. When I click on "see all billing and payments help" nothing happens and in fact NONE of the links work.
Would it be the better idea to re-register with BT.com and this time put the correct BT email address in, the one that i was given with this account - see if it works that way?
PLEASE HELP!!!

This is essentially a customer to customer help forum; I could make one or two suggestions which might explain things but would be equally likely to complicate the matter. It all looks a bit messy and you need to get BT's help in sorting it out. The moderators who oversee this forum are jolly good at that and you can contact them here: Contact BT Care Team.
They are busy and may take a few days to respond but will contact you by email or phone, and will have access to your account in order to put things straight.
[Edit: My daughter turned up in the middle of writing this and by the time I posted it KB had replied in similar vein.]

VIA KM4M-V motherboard CPU speed and AGP problem

Hello. Please be patient I am not technical I would say I'm intermediate, so please if anyone is kind enough to help, please don't blind me with jargon! I have 2 problems I believe are motherboard related, I shall go thru them both. Any solutions/suggestions will be very gratefully received! Operating system is Win XP Pro SP 2 running 512 MB RAM (64 used at moment for onboard graphics)
I purchased this mother board: VIA KM4M-V. I also purchased an AMD Sempron PR2600+ which should be showing a speed of 1833 Mhz, but is coming up as 1466 MHz. Does anybody have any info please? I have downloaded and installed all the latest deivers and BIOS for the motherboard, and the MSI live monitor says there are no new updates now. Is there something in BIOS I need to change? Or is this a mistake on the manufactuers part? If so, which one? LOL
2nd problem: The onboards graphics weren't good enough for some games I had - it required an AGP card. So I have purchased an ATI Radeon 9550 256 MB AGP card. OK I installed this card. All OK starting up. installed drivers, restarted computer. Was OK then changed to 32 bit colour and change the resolution of screen. When I clicked apply went into energy saving mode. Rebooted. As soon as it went to boot into windows, the monitor went into energy saving mode. Once it didn't straight away and windows started then the screen went distorted then it went into energy saving mode. I went into safe mode uninstalled the graphics hardware booted into windows again and reinstalled looked OK then I rebooted and it did it again grrrrrrrrr I went and disabled onboard graphics (ATI said might be issue on their site) still won't boot. Something I am doing wrong? Is it the motherboard?
I'm thinking that it is both botherboard ::koff:: I mean motherboard It's OK I mean it's better than what I had, but I know it's not what it should be! I am grateful to you guys for your help. Thanks very much
Rachie

Quote from: psywhizz on 16-February-05, 10:01:00
More on this! I am running win xp pro sp 2 BTW. I have been swapping between the onboard graphics and the ATI radeon 9550 AGP card I just got. I have been disabling onboard graphics, then installing from scratch (all virus and programs off). As to power supply/amperes? I have no idea all I know is it's a 450 watt rating and has ummmm 230 on back (volts?) it's pretty new I got it like 5 months ago
OK I can get it sort of working when I go into the BIOS and set it from 8x to 4x. The graphics advanced setting was showing 4x. The motherboard is SUPPOSED to support 8x but it just won't work at all in that mode. It works for awhile in 4x mode. No specific amount of time I have current drivers on everything! Then the same old thing happens! Monitor goes to energy saving mode or computer restarts. On restart can use it again for a limited time again, and then the mouse pointer kinda goes funny and it freezes. It goes pixalated and if I move it this 'block' goes up and down in a line only. Most of the time has been trying to start AOL (my ISP) it goes off then. Have tried different rates (went down to 16 bit) and desktop sizes (went down to the one above 800x600) no go. I took the refresh rates to 60, tried everything. I have taken it out again.
I don't know if it a motherboard problem, the graphics card or a combo! I just paid £54.99 for the graphics card, and don't want to waste it! What should I do. It's really frustrating!

Disk configuration and workflow help needed for lab video workstation

Hi All,
Setting up a video editing workstation for a research lab that will use Premeire to edit AVCHD Progressive clips (sometimes with 2 streams side-by-side, but usually single-camera) and export them to .mp4 for later viewing by video coders. We won't be using AfterEffects or adding anything to the videos other than some text (titles, maybe sub-titles).
The other purpose of this workstation is to act as a file server and backup system for other machines in the lab. Coders will be viewing the exported videos via other networked machines and working with Microsoft Office files that will be stored on the workstation's other HDDs. I'll have a physical backup drive and cloud backup via CrashPlan.
I've built a machine that is probably overkill, but the client (my wife) wanted it to be "fast," and the purpose of the machine might change in the future:
i7-4770K (overclocked a bit)
16GB RAM
Asus Z87-Pro
GeForce GTX 660
I have the OS (W7) and programs on a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and currently have two 1TB Velociraptors to use for the Premiere workflow. I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the purchase of the rest of the drives, and I want to keep the Premiere drives separate from the large storage drives from the lab that are networked and synced to cloud backup.
Following the recommendations for a three-disc configuration I've picked up on these forums, I could set it up like this:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs, pagefile)
D: (1TB HDD) (media, projects)
E: (1TB HDD) (previews, media cache, exports)
F: (4TB HDD) (backups of media, projects, and exports and storage of other research files)*THIS DRIVE WOULD BE SHARED ON THE NETWORK
G: (4TB external HDD) (backup of F & drive that backs up to CrashPlan)
but it seems that would be a waste of the speed of the second 10k velociraptor. If I added another SSD and RAIDed the Velociraptors it would be:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs)
D: (Two 1TB Velociraptors in RAID 0) (media, projects)
E: (256GB SSD) (media cache, pagefile)
but would I then need to add another dedicated HDD for previews and exports, or could I store those on the networked F: from above (which would be previews, exports, backups of media and projects, and storage of other research files) without taking a speed hit?
It seems overkill to have a dedicated drive for exports and previews (let's make that the new F:), then have them copy to the first 4TB drive (now G:), then back that up to the second 4TB drive (now H:), then back that up to CrashPlan. However, people might be accessing that network drive at any time, and I don't want that to slow any part of the video process down.
I appreciate any advice ya'll can give me!

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the encouraging response. I'm leaning toward the non-SSD option at this point.
To make sure I understand, are you suggesting I try using the Velociraptor Raid 0 in the 2 disk configuration suggested by Harm's Guidelines for Disk Usage chart? Like this:
C: (256 GB SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (1TB x2 in RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews, Exports)?
Where I'm still confused there, and in looking at Harm's array suggestions for 5 or more drives, is how performance is affected by having simultaneous read/write operations happening on the same drive, which is what I understood was the reason for spreading out the files on multiple drives. Maybe I don't understand how Premiere's file operations work in practice, or maybe I don't understand RAID 0 well enough.
In the type of editing we'll be doing (minimal) aren't there still times when Premiere will be trying to read and write from the D: drive at the same time, for example during export? Wouldn't the increased speed benefits of RAID 0 for either read or write alone be defeated by asking the array to do both simultaneously?
Maybe the reason the Media Cache is on the SSD in the above configuration is because that is what will be read while writing to something like Exports? But that wouldn't make sense given Harm's chart, which has the Media Cache also located on the array....
Another question is, given that the final home of the exported videos will be on the big internal drive (4TB) anyway, could I set it up like this:
C: (SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (2TB RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews)
E: (network shared 4TB HDD) (Exports + a bunch of other shared non-video files)
so I don't end up having to copy the exported videos over to the 4TB drive? Do you think it would render significantly faster to the RAID than it would to the 7200 rpm 4TB drive? I'd like to cut out the step of copying exported videos from D: to E: all the time if it wasn't necessary.
Thanks again.

What I see in the sample site is that the "sound bars" aren't
sync'd at all. They are just a looping clip that stops in diagonal
shape when clicked. And, the sound is not actually being stopped
when you click the bars. Rather, the actionscript is actually
turning the volume down, gradually. The sound is still continually
playing, you just can't hear it. This is evident in the fact that
when you restart the sound, it picks up not where you left off, but
at the point where it would have been anyway, had you not clicked
the button.
I believe that the sound is set to streaming and as such can
be dealt with frame by frame. So, your real quest is to have
someone (more knowledgable than me) provide sample code that would
begin reducing the volume of the sound object in increments as the
movie moves through frames. Something like:
onFrame (95){
mySound.setVolume(80);
onFrame (110){
mySound.setVolume(60);
onFrame (120){
mySound.setVolume(40);
onFrame (130){
mySound.setVolume(20);
onFrame (140){
mySound.setVolume(10);
onFrame (150){
mySound.setVolume(0);
Obviously, you wouldn't use frame numbers, but a variable
representing the current frame relative to the frame the movie was
in when you clicked the button.

OS X Yosemite and CS6 help needed.

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro (2013) which I want to update to OS X Yosemite but I have one question about CS6.
When I update my Mac system to OS X Yosemite do I have to remove and reinstall CS6? Or can I leave the program on my Mac and update it when OS X Yosemite is ready?
I'm quite worried about this because I'm a student who needs CS6 every day to make my homework. Any help would really be appricated!

Thank you for your reply both. I will wait for a weeks before I update to Yosemite.
This has helped me a lot and ease my worries.

@Nancy O.
I would appicate if you guys would take the other question to another discussion, because I keep getting alerts on my phone which is really annoying. My answer got answered so there is no reason to keep continue this,

IPhone 5s and iTunes Help Needed - NEW PC

Hi, I got the iPhone 5s back in October (1st ever Apple product) and transfered my music and photos onto it via iTunes.
What I need help with is as my laptop is in for repair (complete system restore) can I download iTunes on mums laptop and put a few songs and pics on my iPhone WITHOUT clearing the curent files and leaving me without nothing on it.
Thanks

Use these instructions to open the library from its location on the external hard drive...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one

This assumes that everything needed for an iTunes library is on the external hard drive which includes the data base files that contain the info you are concerned about (playlists, counts, ratings, etc.).

USB to (DB9) Serial Adapter and Minicom - help needed

I'm having problems with my Netgear DM111P ethernet modem.
I bought it off ebay and it was 'bricked' on arrival .
All of the LEDs are flashing okay except for a solid red one which should be solid green.
I would like to reflash the firmware. However, I've never done this before and I'm learning as I go.
I've only just started the process and so far it hasn't been that successful.
Basically, I don't know what to do.
Since my IBM Thinkpad T40 doesn't have a serial port, I bought a USB to Serial adapter.
When I plug it into a spare USB port, dmesg reports:
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for pl2303
pl2303 2-2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
usb 2-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303
drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver
and lsmod shows the pl2303 kernel module has loaded:
n00b ~ $ lsmod
Module Size Used by
pl2303 19076 0
usbserial 30696 1 pl2303
So, if I understand things correctly, the USB to Serial adapter has been recognised by the kernel and the driver loaded. dmesg also reports:
n00b ~ $ dmesg | grep tty
console [tty0] enabled
00:0a: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a NS16550A
usb 2-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
which suggests I should configure minicom (# minicom -s) with /dev/ttyUSB0 rather than /dev/ttyS0. However - and this is where I'm out of my depth with minicom - when I invoke minicom it comes up with a dialog saying "Initializing Modem". I don't want to use a modem. I want to see what the CFE bootloader of my DM111P is outputing so that I can see what's wrong with it.
Can anyone help me out with this please? I've never done any serial port work before.

Thanks for the reply Rasika but I already tried that cable. Checked it out with an Ohm meter, cable was pinned correctly. It worked on a 4402 controller but not the 2006. I did try all kinds of serial settings and usually you get some garbage displayed if the baud rate, parity, stop bits, etc... are wrong but this had nothing displayed. I suppose it's possible that both 2006 controllers are bad but the odds are extremely small hence I still suspect the cable. Do you know of an actual Cisco document that shows the console cable pin-out for the 2006? If I had an actual Cisco document and not a user supplied document and that cable didn't work, then I guess there recycling material. Any other idea's or thoughts? Thanks!

SWF and FLV - help needed

Hi,
I'm finding flash very difficult, i've read tutorials and i still find it confussing. What i'm trying to do is embed my FLV video into my website that keeps my XHTML 1.0 Transitional page vaild.
I download swfobject 2.2 and i have a FLV file that i exported from premiere pro CS3, from what i understand i need SWF file to go with the FLV.
When i import my FLV into Flash CS3, choose the skin i want then export everything. I then have three files; FLV, skin and the player. What i don't understand is, i've seen certain skins that are two in one, both the skin and the player.
Could someone please tell me what are the main files that i require in order to get my flash on my html page.
I've spent hours trying different embed codes and nothing seems to work.
I've created a lot of websites, but when it comes to flash i'm puzzled.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I eventually got everything working with swfobject.
I think i'm finally getting the hang of flash, well the basic stuff anyway, lol.

Best practices and tips help needed to create animation

Hi There
I am producing my first project in AE and came across this example which is similar to what of which I need to implement in the project.
http://www.lonja.de/wikipen/
(see 8 seconds in on the imagespot video)
My scenario is I need to portray a network of nodes that are all interlinked (and possibly increasing in number, network links and nodes flourishing from spawn points of other nodes portraying that the network is an infinite expandable entity).
Could anyone suggest how I'd create this, point me to tutorials, or let me know what the actual term for that kind of linked kinetic motion is?
The important thing I suppose is how I manage the workflow efficiently. There must be a more effective way than animating 50+ nodes individually, also how would I best tie the network links that connect the nodes (as in the example) so that they follow the nodes wherever they are (this motion can be random).
Any help appreciated
thanks
Matt
