Dual 1.25 mirror door G4 door stop

Dunno if anyone can help, offer advice or share a similar bad experience with me..
I bought a lovely new mirror door G4 a couple of years ago, upgrading from my trusty old beige G3 so that I could really get the most out my recently purchased Logic Pro setup.
I was new to OS X and wasnt sure what to expect, so when I started getting occasional kernel panics I wasnt too worried, thought it was just one of those things.
But fairly quickly they started to become quite tiresome, and after chatting to other friends with similar machines I learnt that this wasnt normal behaviour.
I did a bit of research and discovered various things that could be triggering it, and systematically went through my list.
External devices - gone. P-Ram - Zapped. Disc doctor - Run. Ram removed and changed - Done. Powersupplies - changed. system rebuilt - done. HD erased and reinstalled - done.
nothing.. the kernel panics continued.
I even got them reinstalling the basic OS!
After 5 months of this and not much joy from the original reseller, they reluctantly took it back for a check up.
"We checked it, reinstalled the system and it all seems fine now"
Day one.. kernel panic..
Reinstalling Logic and all my other apps.. kernel panics..
Back onto the reseller..
"but it seemed fine here... "
I suggested the Ram again, so some more was sent out. (after a couple of months of waiting)
Same problem. Kernel panics galore.
Ok, so we're a year in now, and my warranty has run out.
Apple kindly extend it and the machine is eventually taken in by another reseller who seem to thoroughly go over it and find problems with the logic board which they replace.
Im slightly more optimistic with these guys who seem wholly more professional, but unfortunately the problems continue.
approaching 15 months now..
I do more research. Swap the Ram with my work machines and whammo, they kernel panic! I'm sure I've sussed it this time and speak to Apple who extend the warranty again.
I speak to the original resellers and explain the problem and specify the top end Kingston Ram as being the only brand that I have read that works 100% with the Power Mac G4's which they agree to replace my old ram with and so another long wait begins..
This takes almost 3 months to arrive.
I set it up, fire up the machine and start reinstalling software...
kernel panic.
I am gutted. Nothing left to try.
I speak to Apple again and they really strike the final nail into the coffin this time by telling me, Im sorry, your warranty has run out, theres nothing more we can do.
This goes on for a few calls with me getting more and more irate, until I manage to get the details of a physical customer relations department that I can actually write to.
So, October 2005 and I write a lengthy letter and include 2 years worth of email correspondance between me and various resellers outlining the problems I have been having.
No reply, so November I write again...
No reply, so December I write again...
No reply, so I call them up to find out whats going on, only to be told that they have no record of recieving anything, the mail must have been lost, oh and you're out of warranty?! But I will not take this as closure on the case, so they suggest to fax them.
So, I fax over all the letters and sit back waiting for the swift reply I am promised.
No reply! So, a week and a half later, today, I call again and guess what..
Yes, we are still waiting for your fax to arrive?!
I explained that fax's where generally a fairly instant device and that it wouldnt take a week and half to get there (this is technical support?)
Oh yeah, one bit of priceless support that I got was after returning from holiday last year and continuing with my enquiries, and I was told that sometimes electrical devices stop working if they arent turned on for a couple of weeks?!!! I had to ignore that one. Are they mental?!
So now here I am, on hold, for an hour so far, waiting to be put through to an imaginary senior representative who will no doubt just tell me what Ive already been told a dozen times..
anyone experience anything similar?
Should I drop it off the roof and go to pc world and buy a dell?
aghhh...
Thanks for listening.. needed a vent for my rant!
M

Hey
Yeah, it was more of a rant than anything.
I'd been on hold for an hour to the customer support line and whilst waiting browsed onto the site and felt the need to relieve some pent up anger.
I've used the Apple disk utility to run the hardware and disk checks.
I used one other system profiler app when I first got it, but to no avail, and was warned away from Norton very early on so havent touched that.
It turns out after talking to support that absolutely everything was replaced, so Ive basically got a new machine, apart from the casing and electrics, so maybe the problem lies within the construction.
I did try running the mac with OS X, and I did indeed still get the panics, I also experienced panics whilst trying to install OS X onto an erased drive with no extra ram, peripheral devices, pci boards.... nothing...
Hopefully now apple will see that Ive actually been trying to revive a lemon and it is beyond repair and help me out.
To really rub my face in it, my monitor is now on the way out too!!
I think in 2 years, I must have got about 2 months use out of the machine and it is determined to either send me grey or turn me to PC.
Every time I power it up, I have to half prepare myself for the grey screen to slowly descend across my desktop revealing the oh so familiar restart message.
Will it ever end?!!

Dishonest door-to-door ATT sales people

ATT
Anybody have a good phone number and contact name for reporting door-to-door sales people preying on the elderly? I've tried calling general support number (5942), sales (2020) "escalation" (0789). Have tried to speak to a manager each time. I just get put on hold forever or told that the manager is busy.
In meantime, please advise your loved ones of the following scam:
ATT salesman wearing badge knocks on door to let homeowner know that neighborhoods' old wiring and in particular wiring on homeowner's street is being replaced. Homeowner will now have faster connection. This is just a friendly visit not selling anything. Just an FYI about what ATT is doing for its customers. But--will need to replace old modem for her free of charge. Just need to sign this piece of paper ...
He didn't identify himself as a salesman said he was an installer (implied he was PR person).
Thank goodness I was called before anything was signed. I actually talked to this person on the phone and before the conversation ended, I was given 3 different stories. the last of which he finally admitted that he was upgrading her ATT phone and internet and switching her cable to ATT. REALLY?!
I have the paperwork, my relative would have signed which included a contract, a new modem, switching cable service from Comcast to ATT and more.
My relative had no idea what was being signed. The salesman was, "so polite and said I didn't have to pay for anything".
Is there anyone at ATT willing to step up to the plate to fire people like this? My relative let this person into her home without thinking twice because she trusts ATT. Would your elderly relative do the same? This must be stopped!

The door-to-door sales people wear shirts with an AT&T logo, but they work for a independant sales contractor that AT&T does business with.

Given False Information by a Door-to-Door Salesman, and Customer Service Can't Help

Two months ago, one of the Verizon door-to-door salesmen convinced me to switch over to Verizon from my former carrier. The price was within a few pennies, and altough I was happy with the service I had, I was willing to give it a try because he said the speed would be faster. I told him I would do it as long as there was a 30 day time period to cancel with no charges on my account if I was dissatisfied. He said that Verizon had a "no worries guarantee" policy. I asked three times if that meant that I could cancel within 30 days without being charged. He answered, "yes."
I wasn't satisified with the upgrade, and found less expensive service with another carrier, so I cancelled within the 30 days. However, the first customer service representative I spoke with evidently didn't cancel it because I haven't yet received a return kit yet and I'm still being charged for "current activity" on my most recent bill. She told me to wait for the return kit and closing bill to call back to get the charges reversed. I have received neither, so I called back today out of concern. I spoke with another customer service representative and her supervisor today. Both nice, but they told me my service ongoing but had been suspended for non-payment, and that the "no worries guarantee policy" would refund only the early cancellation fee, and that there was a minimum 1 month charge, so no pro-rating either. Surprise! That's four really nice people at Verizon who have either told me false information or informed me of yet another surprise charge that I was initially told I wouldn't owe. I've heard the words "we've never done a free trial" plenty of times, and I understand that. It would be nice if all the representatives were in agreement about that however, especially for a family on a single fixed income. I asked for the manager's supervisor; she said she was going to write and email up the chain regarding the false information I was given, but that I would owe the money no matter the outcome. She said I would need to go to the Verizon website to pursue a supervisor higher than herself. Not helpful, since the Verizon website sends you back to the customer service line I called to get her.
This is the second time that I've tried switching to Verizon; the first time it took them a month and three phone calls from me to realize service wasn't available at my address; now this. Is there anyone at Verizon willing to treat me fairly according to what is told me by your representatives? Are you hoping to have a chance at winning me back as a customer in a year, or are you satisfied to simply try and collect the $126.33 that you are charging me via a false pretense? I'm looking for a reason to give you another chance. I'm hoping there is someone out there with a suggestion where to take this next.

Misleading door to door sales reps.

About 3 weeks ago a sale rep came to my door offerring service. He asked how much am I paiding for cable. I told him how much and he asked what services are prodived with those charges and I told him the services. He explain that he can give me the same channels and serivce with dvr. To make a long story short he laid out a package with price and told me that is a fees that I will be paying. He also said that he will be crediting the first month of service up to 150 dollars. Well I receive my first bill and there is no credit. I have called customer service and they said that he have no such offer going on and said to contact the sales rep. Which I did twice and even text the number he gave me no reply. Another issue is that I been having not so good services. My tv keeps on either freezing or the screen will go black for hours. I have techs come to my house run scans and say they see no problems. I am fed up now I feel mislead and lie too it's seems like everyone tells me onething and the other thing happens. I will like my credit that the door to door salemen honored or let me cancel my service with out no fine. I need assitant ASAP !!!!

G4 Dual 1.25GHz (Mirror doors) won't boot

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me? My Mac as per subject line has ceased to boot for no apparent reason. Albeit it had several expansion cards, more memory, bigger hard drive etc. failure did not occur after performing any of these upgrades but just out of the blue. Stripping it back to base configuration as best I can (can't do much about the HD) made no difference nor did pressing the cuda button nor did removing the PRAM battery for a while.
Symtoms are, after the startup chime, a periodic 'telephone ringing' noise and eventually a grey screen with a 'No Entry' symbol is displayed.
Any help appreciated greatly.
Jim

The no entry symboly means that OS X cannot find a key system file which it needs to boot. Try here for some solutions.

Door to Door Sales

Please give me a phone number to call so the Verizon sales people will STOP coming to my door. I do not want Verizon and I have never called you asking you to send annoying people out here. I live in Irving Texas. Zip code 75060. They are no polite and they won't leave untilI slam the door intheir faces and evern then I hear them talking. I have asked repeatedlyto have my name taken off whatever list you have but they still come out and now the same guy came to my door within a 3 day period of time. Now that's creepy.

good afternoon car2421,
I apologize for the sales tactics but if you would like to send us a private message with the below post and your address, I would be happy to stop soliciting efforts for you

AirPlay mirror on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google conversation is started (iOS 7)

I thought it would be nice to see Skype contacts on the large screen and realised this should be possible using my Apple TV, but AirPlay (in mirror mode) on Apple TV stops working when a Skype or Google + conversation is started after showing all right on the TV till that point. I'm using iOS 7 and the problem occurs on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. Facetime seems to be OK, and Skype works over Apple TV when using my daughter's MacBook Pro (though I haven't tried Google + on it), so I deduce that the issue is with iOS 7. I have had success one or twice with using Skype in this manner on my iPhone so it is not consistant, but this is rare and hasn't happened in my latest attempts. Unfortunately some of my Skype contacts don't have an Apple device so I often can't use Facetime.
Is there a work around, or has Apple acknowledged this issue and said there will be a fix?

Same problem here.
iPhone 5s + apple TV + Skype all are up to date. Mirroring is working until the video signal starts, after that the Apple TV goes back to the Apple TV starting screen.

10.6.3 and dual monitors- no mirroring!

Is anyone else having issues running dual monitors with 10.6.3? My Mac Book Pro works fine, but a black Mac Book will not mirror for power point. The local screen is distorted, the projector (2nd screen) still works. It will also work in extended mode, just not in mirror mode. Unplugging the display port restores the local monitor.
Anyone else having this issue?

It should give you a list of all resolutions that you can try. I have an external monitor hooked up to my white Macbook via mini-DVI to DVI, and have not had a problem. Try putting both in their maximum native resolution before mirroring, and then turn on mirroring. The computer should then find the best resolution for both.
If it doesn't, then you could try the 800x600 if it's available. I think this is the old standard.

Why does mirroring with airplay always stop when streaming videos?

When streaming video from my iPad2 to AppleYV using mirroring, the video is always stopping to buffer. How can I fix that?

Powermac Dual 1.25 Mirror Drive AE AE to Extend Network and Play Tunes?

Can I play music from my iTunes on my 1.25 Powermac using two Airport Express'? When the AE first came out Apple Support said my iTunes music had to be stored and playing out of a newer Mac (like my Powerbook) for me to shoot music in iTunes to a second, WDS extended AE. Can I set this music network up using my Powerbook, but use the music library on my 1.25 Powermac to feed the a second WDS AE?
The fact is my original AE was dead on arrival, so I never got to try this out. I'm thinking about buying a second AE to see if Apple Support might have misunderstood what I was trying to do.
Can anyone help me? I really don't want my iTunes library running from my Powerbook. I'd much rather use my 1.25 as a music server to a WDS location.

Hi
unfortunately processor cards from MDD G4s aren't compatible with Quicksilver (and earlier) G4s as they use slightly different architectures and possibly even different processor sockets. That's partly why OWC (and other third party) processor upgrades cover models from the AGP/Sawtooth G4s upto the Quicksilver 2002 G4s, but aren't compatible with the MDD or FW800 G4s.
The fastest 'Apple original part' upgrade would be a dual 1GHz from a Quicksilver 2002. I swapped my single 800MHz for a dual 1GHz (pulled from another Quicksilver) and the difference in performance was very worthwhile.
Having said that though, most benchmarks show a dual processor G4 is around 40% faster than a single processor running at the same clock speed, so I'm not sure a dual 1GHz would be much (if any) faster than a single 1.5GHz. Also which ever processor upgrade you choose, you're still stuck with the same relatively slow 133MHz system bus, which will impact real world performance.
I hope this helps.

How do I find out if I have back door port issues.

I recently got to looking at my MacBook Pro and noticed that I had a couple of programs most likely put there by my kids that download movies and stuff. One was Limewire and there was another one called torrent something. I dont know a lot about them but have friends that are telling me that these programs will install some sort of back door access to my computer that will slow it down. I have recently deployed to the Middle East so our internet isn't fast to begin with so I cant be sure why it is running slower. I have since deleted the programs as I have no need for them. How do I tell if there are any of these back door programs and stop them. I am fairly new to the Mac world so I am just learning a lot of how they operate.
Thanks for any guidance on this issue.

Bit-torrent rubbish and limewire are usually used for downloading illegal material and much of the software downloaded is filled with malware
That is a false statement.
BitTorrent and Limewire can be exploited by malware authors, and there may be illegal content passing over the network, but to say that this is the usual case is a little too much. Your statement implies that by installing the software you immediately become a criminal and your machine gets infested with malware. That is not the case. There is a lot of legitimate traffic on such peer-to-peer networks.
Downloading content via a torrent carries the same risks and responsibilities as downloading content from anywhere else. Consider how much you trust the source before installing/opening anything you download. The main issue, of course, is that you don't know who the source is, and that's the real concern.
Not true
Bit-torrent is not the same as simply downloading material. It is connecting to a large user-shared internet network, and usually allows other people to access your computer when you are a seed.
And I maintain that most bit-torrent activities are for downloading "shared" files which are usually copyright protected. I have personally checked and verified this. If you believe that being able to download Leopard or Apple products via bit-torrent sites is legal, then we have our differences.
I reference
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legalissues_withBitTorrent
and others.
The claim is that the "sharing" is legal because it's user-to-user. So it's OK for someone to "share" the Leopard OS?
I stand by my original statements 100%. I would take the opposite stand, Limewire and bit-torrent "can" be used legally, but for the most part when reality strikes home, they are not. Those who say it's OK to "share" files are either naive or are involved in the "sharing" but in any case, just look at what is being shared and that proves my point.
Naturally, the fact that "sharing" is popular is why much malware is associated with the processes.
This old link is a mere bagatelle of what goes on with file "sharing"
http://www.neowin.net/news/main/08/05/07/malware-outbreak-blamed-on-file-swapped -mp3s-mpegs
BTW, it's illegal to share copyrighted files no matter what, and it's illegal to own them unless they were legally purchased.

Requirements Gateway customize DOORS Advanced Type

Hello, I am in trouble with R-Gateway...first of all i did not find a R-Gateway Board to post my question, sorry
I started adopting the "DOORS Linking Example" as follows:
-added a LabVIEW project as document with [Covers: DesignReq], PASSED.
-added attributes to DOORS Linking Example Req-Flag (which shall be used instead of Object Type) and Req-No (which shall be used instead of ReqID)
Now 3 documents in R-Gateway configuration: DOORS SRD, DOORS SDD and LabVIEW Project
-changed the SDD type from Object Type = Requirement and requirement ID = ReqID to Req-Flag = "R" with requirement ID = Req-No, PASSED
-changed the SRD type from Object Type = Requirement and requirement ID = ReqID to Req-Flag = "R" with requirement ID = Req-No, FAILED (SRD requirement status changed from "covered" to "not covered" Note: the DOORS Objects are linked with "refers to" links)
Trying narrowing...back pedal
-changed the SRD type from Object Type = Requirement to Req-Flag = "R", PASSED
-changed the SRD type from requirement ID = ReqID to requirement ID = Req-No, FAILED: again coverage lost
I can not figure out the problem. Hoping there is someone out there who is familiar with R Gateway i am looking forward to hearing from you soon =)
Thanks in advance
RZM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is Req-No displayed Here "Absolute Number"
DOORS uses the attribute "Absolute Number" as unique ID for DOORS objects. This attribute is read-only for all DOORS users including admins. I want to cover these IDs with [Covers: ReqID] entries in LabVIEW code. The reason is I don't want to rely on requirement numbers which shall not be changed. For example when SDD shall be exported for inital release a user might reassign consecutive requirement numbers for beautification.
For analysis and compliance matrix I don't want to use "Absolute Number" but the "Req-No". SDD object "1" has the requirement number "SDD-10". I know haw to display it in the attributes canvas located bottom left. How can I reference it with somthing like "$i" to display it instead of "$i"?
Thank you =)
Yours

Mirroring, why does it keep stopping

I have an iPad 2 and Apple TV. I tried to set up mirroring ; it worked for one screen, then cut out. I set it all up again and it works Slowly for one screen then cuts out again. I was hoping to put mirror my music onto my tv. But cannot, any ideas? Anyone? I have downloaded all software updates.

Dorsetdoll
Try rebooting the ATV with all cable out for 30 seconds and reboot the router. If you have been successful mirroring but it has stopped working it is usually a network issue. Post again if this doesn't work.
