FileMakerPro shut/slow down on G5/Tiger network with G3 server OS9

We have recently upgraded (insurance co. mandated) our medical office from a happily running system to one that's driving us insane. We were running 6 older iMacs, OS9.2 with a G3 server running OS9.2.1 over a TCP/IP network. Our office software is a FilemakerPro based system uses FMPServer on the server. We now have workstations iMac 1.8 GH G5s running OS10.4. Software company told us we could continue using the G3 server running OS9.2.1 with the upgraded Filemaker Pro software. (Same network) They had recommended that we not go to dual core Intel due to incompatibilities they knew existed. Since the install we have had numerous problems with sudden drastic slowdowns that can only be fixed by a reboot of everyone on the network and the server. Also individual computers get thrown out of the software with "the application FileMakerPro quit unexpectedly" message. This can occur during work or while sitting idle. Software co. suggested upgrade of software to 10.4.6 to the G5's, (they do not recommend .7 or .8) to stop problem. Have verified permissions-nothing much there. Upgraded one workstation to 10.4.6 with no difference in performance. Am questioning that the system software on the server needs to come up to OS10.4 even though they have told me no. Would have to buy CD's for the G3. We're looking for any suggestions before all employees quit.

Hey Bee-Had to pack it in last night-too many hours at the office this week. Thanks for looking at this. When I did the verify on each of the workstations very little came up-I apologize for not remembering message at this point but maybe only two or three lines on each of the G5's-same message on each with statement "verified and repaired" at the end. I don't remember if I ran permissions on the server. My employee Kevin-the best-may have done it. He's a PC user but trying very hard to help on this. I'm giving him one of the old red imacs to take home-maybe convert him. It occurs to me that since the software company did the data transfer, it's possible that an AFP connection may be hanging around on something. Not quite sure how to track that down. Thank goodness I spent time on the forum-I was going to try intalling Tiger on the G3 server this weekend-would have slowed us down to a crawl. Am heading over there soon after Acme delivers groceries-Acme online has changed my life. Have to install new version of Timbuktu so they can get in to fix some other problems-so many glitches. Had Timbuktu on the server-buuutt-after Verizon guy put DSL connect on server, workstations would not see the server-disabled internet connect on the server-then they see it. So in order for network to function, have to keep the server off the DSL ine for now and load Timbuktu on a G5. Someone suggested a faster drive-my Dad-Mac guy since the beginning-thinks that would be useful.By the way we have two drives for the server and copy back and forth in case one goes down. Patient data base has over 9000 patients plus insurances/providers/billing going back to '98. We do our own billing. I know TMI but I'm trying to knock these problems down one at a time. We are being mandated-both federal and insurance company to go all electronic for referrals,claims submissions, etc. Next immediate need is to get data out for an e-prescribing pilot program-husband is one of 150 BC of DE docs to RX from a loaded PDA. Sorry for the length-Yikes DEW

  • Query Designer slows down after working some time with it

    Hi all,
    the new BEx Query Designer slows down when working some time with it. The longer it remains open, the slower it gets. Especially formula editing slows down extremely.
    Did anyone of you encounter the same problem? Do you have an idea, how to fix this. To me it seems as if the Designer allocates more and more RAM and does not free that up.
    My version: BI AddOn 7.X, Support Package 13, Revision 467
    Kind regards,
    Philipp

    I have seen a similar problem on one of my devices, the 'Samsung A-920'. Every time the system would pop up the 'Will you allow Network Access' screen , the imput from all keypresses from then on would be strangely delayed. It looked like the problem was connected with the switching from my app and the system dialog form. I tried for many many long hours / days to fix this, but just ended up hacking my phone to remove the security questions. After removing the security questions my problem went away.
    I don't know if it's an option in your application, but is it possible to do everything using just one Canvas, and not switch between displayables? You may want to do an experiment using a single displayable Canvas, and just change how it draws. I know this will make user input much more complicated, but you may be able to avoid the input delays.
    In my case, I think the device wasn't properly releasing / un-registering the input handling from the previous dialogs, so all keypresses still went through the non-current network-security dialog before reaching my app.

    You need to turn off the Zoom accessibility feature.  Tap the screen twice with three fingers to get to normal screen. Then go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn Zoom off.  You can also do that by connect the computer to iTunes and going to the Summary pane for the iPod and go to Configure Universal Access.

  • Mac to mac copy slows down over internal airport network

    This is a strange problem but here goes...
    Some useful background info:
    I have recently downloaded through the new Airport Express network I just created a file that was 212MB from a site on the internet in about 12 minutes or so which is pretty fast for a DSL connection.
    The issue:
    When I try to copy files from a PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.2 to an iMac G5 running the same version of the OS, I see the same odd behavior (copying from Public folder to any folder on the iMac):
    The copy starts in the finder just fine and seems to be going very fast as expected by an internal network copy but after some arbitrary amount of time, the copy slows down and eventually fails. The time to complete the transfer starts out really fast and eventually hits a brick wall where it slows down further and further.
    Other notes: the copy I've been attempting is files and folder that are about 1GB total but I've tried it with small and large copies and this has worked fine in the past with Leopard and other OS'.
    Sometimes, this slowdown occurs at 5MB into the copy, other times it doesn't happen until it gets about 50MB into the copy. Thew strange thing is, large files over the Internet are just fine as I mentioned above.
    There's plenty of free space on the machine that I'm copying to but this happens repeatedly when I try to copy from one computer running Leopard to another.
    I don't think this issue is related to the Airport Express because I recently created a new network to test this issue called Bedroom Airport Express. Previously, when I'd been successful performing these types of transfers, I was using the LinkSys WRT54G's built in wireless capabilities and had no issues using Go To and entering the computer's IP address.
    When this issue started to occur, I was baffled so I hooked up the extra Airport Express I had lying around and I'm still seeing the same issue despite the Internet transfers working like gangbusters.
    The router is still the WRT54G on AT&T's DSL network using DHCP and there's no special config., other than that I had to re-IP the internal network to 192.168.199.1 for work related reasons but that's about it.
    The MTU had to be increased to 1492 for the internet to work properly when I got my first WRT54G [an older version of this device that I replaced very recently with a new one]. The firm ware version of the router is v8.00.2 and the Airport Express has been recently updated to the latest firmware available (and this issue was occurring before the firmware upgrade as I added the Airport Express as an troubleshooting method).
    Does anyone know where I should begin to try to resolve this issue? I've tried LinkSys tech suppport and I still get "we're not able to provide Mac tech support" reply despite the fact that addressing the router is done via a webpage and the BSD guts under the hood. If anyone knows what if anything I can do to troubleshoot what the issue is, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
    This networking stuff is a bit of a black art to those of us that are dilletantes in this arena and I certainly qualify as a dabbler in this stuff.
    Thanks in advance,

    I'm new to the Apple discussions, although not new to Apple computers and I've seen that this post has received quite a few views but no responses. Maybe someone could direct me to the right place to post this, if this is not that place, or, suggest some terminal tools that I could use to troubleshoot the issue with the Airport network or LinkSys Router I'm using [WTR54G v.8.0.0.x]? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide to a networking noobie.

  • Computer to computer copy slows down over internal airport network over time

    This is a strange problem but here goes...
    Some useful background info:
    I have recently successfully downloaded a 212MB file from a site on the internet through a new Apple Airport Express network I just created as a troubleshooting method in about 12 minutes or so and I don't seem to have any slowing down issues with internet connections to websites and downloads.
    The issue I seeing with internal network copies:
    When I try to copy files from an Apple PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.2 to an iMac G5 running the same version of the OS, copies over the internal network exhibit a very odd behavior. The copy is from the Power Book G4's Public folder to any folder on the iMac.
    The copy starts in The Finder just fine and seems to be going very fast as expected by an internal network copy but after some short arbitrary amount of time, the copy slows down, the estimated times grows slowly but consistently for the copy to complete and eventually the OS says there was a problem and the copy fails. There's no error number of message other than the copy couldn't be completed. As I mentioned above, the time to complete the transfer id initially estimated as a very short amount of time but eventually, the copy action hits a brick wall where it slows down further and further until it fails.
    Other notes: the copy I've been attempting consists of files and folders that are of various sizes but I've tried it with small and large copies and this has worked fine in the past with Leopard and other, older OS' over the WRT54G's wireless network. I created the Airport Express network to see if that would solve this problem but it hasn't which makes me think the issue is with the router and not the wireless network.
    Additional details:
    Sometimes, the reported copy slowdown occurs at 5MB into the copy, other times it doesn't happen until it gets about 50MB into the copy. What's strange to me is, large file downloads over the Internet are just fine. There does appear to be some burst that degrades a bit over time but not like the internal network copy's speed which just drops off really quickly.
    I have been successful in the past copying from Mac to Mac over this exact same router using the WTR54G's wireless network but I started having problems fairly recently and now the copy doesn't finish over the WRT54G or the Airport Express network that I recently created to see if the issue was with the WRT54G's wireless network settings or hardware.
    There's plenty of free space on the machine that I'm copying to but this happens repeatedly when I try to copy from one computer running Leopard to another.

  • Firefox slows down when opening a site with animated gifs

    After updating to FF4, I find that whenever I try to open a page that has multiple animated gifs on it, firefox slows down tremendously. CPU usage goes up to 50-75% and all animated gifs are moving really slow.
    It's not only large animated gifs, but it also occurs on forums that have animated smilies. I never had this problem in FF 3.6 nor any other browser (IE, Chrome, Safari). If I start FF4.0 without any add-ons or plugins it does the same thing. Even with a fresh install. Does anyone have a solution to his problem? Since I can't use some of my favorite sites now with FF, without my pc slowing everything down.

    Disabling the hardware acceleration worked for me!

  • How to set a default firefox homepage on client workstations on a network with a server running windows 2003 server?

    I am running a small client server network with about 27 client machines and windows server 2003 is the server OS.

    Add more RAM or cut back on concurrent applications. Startup Item is irrelevant.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • Does spam drain email filter slow down or have any issues with mozilla thunderbird ?

    i installed spam drain on my iphone as an app, it really removed the amount of spam getting through to my Thunderbird account on my iphone.
    the level of spam on my pc Thunderbird account can be filtered but not on iphone as far as i know?
    since i installed teh app on my i phone it works great and reduces all the spam , but my emails on pc sometimes hangs and goes really slow resulting in a restart?
    is ther any know conflicts between installing the spam drain on my iphone to filter my thunderbird email account and resulting in it slowing up or freezing when working on it on my pc?

    ''... my Thunderbird account on my iphone.''
    There is no such thing like a 'Thunderbird account'. Mozilla isn't an email provider.
    ''is ther any know conflicts between installing the spam drain on my iphone to filter my thunderbird email account and resulting in it slowing up or freezing when working on it on my pc?''
    No. What is your anti-virus software on the PC?

  • XServe slows down processing when not Controlling with 3.2.2

    I'm running an application to transfer a database into a MySQL database in an XServe. Will take about 8 hours or so and there's a visual incrementer.
    XServe has 3.2.2 Client and I'm 3.2.2 Admin and it seems to start this when I upgraded. This is the first I've ever seen. When I'm controlling the XServe the incrementer is flying at around 2000 records every 15 seconds or so. When I stop controlling and then come back the incrementer hasn't done anything and then starts going again. Basically it seems to stop as soon as I disconnect from the XServe and then starts back up when I connect again.
    My work around is I just leave my ARD 3.2.2 connected and controlling the whole time so the xServe finishes.
    Is there a new setting to stop processing as soon as ARD disconnects?
    Thanks

  • Creating a simpel network with Lion Server, and add Windows XP computers to it

    We have a Mac Lion Server and 3 computers with Windows XP. Previously we had a Windows 2003 server with a domain name: "MYDOMAIN". When logging into Windows it logs into this domain.
    I would like to replace this Windows 2003 server with my new Mac Lion server so, I build up a test setup. I connected the Mac Lion server (iMac) with my Windows XP pc with an ethernet cable. Then, I setup a DHCP, DNS and Open directory in the Server Admin. Added users. I configured the IP adres of the server to a static one by setting the IPv4 to "using DHCP with manual address".
    Then I wanted to let my Windows XP server join the domain of the Lion Server, however I cannot let my Windows XP client connect to the domain of the Lion Server.
    I read in the advanced administration that you can set up Windows XP for domain login. Where do I find the name of this domain? It should be stated in the server admin, open directory, settings, general tab, but the only thing I find here is: Role: Open Directory Master.
    In Windows XP, when I explore in explorer the Microsoft-Windows Network I can see in "MYDOMAIN" the MacLion Server and my Windows XP pc. So sharing files is no problem.
    However, I really want to create a new domain with my Lion Server and let the Windows XP pc's login to the new domain.
    I hope anyone can help me.

    Thanks for the info.
    I read some stuff about this indeed, so I was thinking, because we have a small network, could it be possible to share files on the server via a workgroup?
    If we add the 3 Windows XP pc's to the same workgroup as the Lion Server, would there be a problem?
    Then at startup of Windows XP, should we login to the pc instead of the domain? And where would I find the Lion server in Windows XP?

  • Can't access mapped drives on network with 2008 Server.

    Hi,
    I got two servers, 2003 and 2008, the 2003 is now a data and application server, it's roles was migrated on the 2008. While the 2003 is able to map drives on the network, the 2008 can only access drives while Deep Agent 9 Antivirus is disabled. The 2003
    uses port 135 and 139, those ports are allowed on the 2008. When i tried to access targeted pc's drives, I got error 0x80004005 'Unspecified error'. The windows network client is ticked, I tried with different credentials and it's not working.
    Thanks for help, Olivier.

    Hi Olivier,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    First of all check whether you have successful ping to the destination server.
    Have you specified the permission for the users to access the network drives?
    Are you trying to access the mapped network drive from which client system?
    From the description and error, it seems there is some corrupted profile which might get the issue for this case. You can try to run sfc /scannow to check the file system. 
    As there is one certain article for this error, please check this article
    for information.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • A lot of us have iBooks that are slowing down.

    What iBook do you have? Memory? CPU usage? OS? Etc.

    It ran so fast. Faster than my 1.25 Power PC G4 at work! I installed Tiger a few month or so ago and now it's running much slower than it did. I've reinstalled the OS, removed CS2 and Dreamweaver (since they were the last installed), verified and repaired disks.
    After updating to 10.4,2, system profiler now says "CPU Speed 1.33" even though it is 1.42. ???
    CPU
    Photoshop has 32.80, Safari has 3.5, Itunes 1.9
    147mb of inactive memory.
    I have 44.05g free on a 80g hard drive.
    Only thing connected is a bluetooth mouse.
    I'm going back to the Genius Bar tomorrow. I'm extremely upset that my iBook is running so slow.

    If you purchased your ibook in January your CPU speed is in fact 1.33ghz. The latest speed bumps from 1.33ghz to 1.42ghz on the 14" happened in July of 2005. Try repairing disk permissions and optimizing the disk to see if that helps. (Run a program like Onyx, Cocktail, or MacJanitor to do this or do it manually) Another user went as far as purchasing DiskWarrior (which is not a bad idea) to repair and optimize his HD and found that the 'peppiness' returned.
    With 512mb of ram you will probably notice a larger slow down than on a machine with 1g. 512mb is the minimum amount of ram that is recommended for running OSX.

  • MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum slows down

    Hi,
    I have a little problem with my new K8N Neo2 Platinum. I installed Windows XP and the newest nForce drivers but if I copy files over LAN (tested both LAN-Ports) or install big applications my music played with winamp slows down. It's played with half speed. In addition to that my mouse pointer is very slow. After the setup or copying files everything is how it should be again. How can I solve this problem?
    My system:
    AMD Athlon64 3500+ (Winchester)
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum-54G (tried different bios releases)
    1024MB Corsair XMS Twinx DDR500
    ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
    2 80GB Maxtor S-ATA (DMA Mode enabled)
    Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live! Player 5.1

    Hello,
    I copy files to my bro sometimes, 5Gb - all the steam GCF files for CS/HL/CSS/HL2.
    My network usage is 80%-92%
    My CPU usage is always under 15%.
    It is worse when using 512Mb but as you have 1Gb it shouldn't be bad.
    Check in the device manager, your cd drives should be set to DMA mode.

  • Why is Firefox 4 slowing down my whole Mac? I am not the only one.

    My whole Mac Book Pro (five years old running Snow Leopard 10.6.7) has been slowed down. I know someone with a 3 month old Mac Book Pro that is having the same problem. Every aspect of my computer slows down so badly when Firefox is open. I saved a copy of Firefox 3.6.16 just in case thank goodness. I am using it now without a problem. I read you know about this at a Mac Chat Site, and are working on a fix. But I read nothing about it here.

    I'm posting another screen shot. This browser is eating up memory like crazy. I have 5 tabs open when this happened. If I try to use another App, it is really slowed down too.
