Freezing sinc with Dual G5

I've been reading these post to see if I can find an answer to my problem, but I didn't see any, or missed it.
If I connect my touch iPod 2.3 to the dual g5 it freezes when it starts to sync a song or two, but usually the first song, and if it does make it through that first song it may take hours. This has been happening for awhile, and upon every iTunes update or iPod update never helped that.
It's obviously a problem with the G5 because I can sync with my powerbook g4 no problems, but my main computer is the G5, so I'd like to get it to work.
I've restored the iPod software and used the new iTunes 5 still doesn't work, so I had to connect it to my G4 and it works like a charm.
This has been ongoing, and every time I get a new song or add something to iTunes on the G5, I'd have to put it on my G4 then connect my iPod to the G4 syncs like a charm.
It just doesnât not sync on the G5 and it freezes or locks up with the rainbow ball on a continuous spin, and I'd have to force quit iTunes.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem or know of another thread regarding it?

I am having similar problems.
I recently bought a G5 and everytime i try to sync my iPod with my itunes playlist it does not even get through the first song. I have to force quit iTunes and disconnect the iPod and try again.
It seems to work on the second attempt but i am beginning to find it rather irritating.
Have you had any luck with possibile solutions?
I have been looking through the post in search of the answer!

OpenGL freezes computer with dual monitors and fglrx

I am trying to use the fglrx driver, and with a single monitor I seem to have gotten everything working.
However I am running into issues with two monitors. Basically, when I have two monitors any opengl program doesn't run properly.
There are two cases. If I use the xorg.conf generated by "aticonfig --initial", it still seems to detect the other monitor (although there is a black region on my gnome desktop). If an opengl program is run, the screen goes crazy where random pixels are changing different colors. I can end the program, and everything goes back to normal.
Using the program "amdcccle" I generated xorg.conf for dual monitors (I pasted it below). When I use this configuration, any opengl program completely freezes the computer instantly.
I have been looking for a while, but have not found any information that might lead to a solution. Does anyone here have any advice?

+Sorry. I mean "right" in the last sentence.+
Hello.
I put my second monitor of a dual monitor set-up to the left of the main monitor - the one with the FC application, keyboard and mouse, etc. Trouble is the mouse kept hitting the left hand wall of my main monitor when I tried to send it to the second monitor. After a while I realized the mouse/computer thinks the second monitor is to its right, so I have to exit the right hand side of the main monitor to get to the one on the left.
Is there any way to instruct FC and the mouse that the second monitor is on the left? Can the mouse be instructed to "pass" through the left hand wall of the main monitor rather than the right? Or must the second monitor always go the right of the main monitor?
Thanks.
John

Dual G5 1.8 GHz screen/keyboard freezes (new with 10.4.6)

Three times in the past month the screen and keyboard on my dual 1.8 GHz G5 (first generation) have "frozen" as I closed windows or Command-tabbed between running applications.
When the screen and keyboard are frozen, the menubar clock does not increment, but I can still move the cursor across the screen with the mouse. The machine itself is not frozen. I can log into it as a server from my MacBook Pro, read files from its hard drives and write files to its hard drives, but I cannot do anything from the machine's own keyboard. If I press the "sleep" LED on my Apple LCD display, the LED dims but doesn't extinguish, and the machine doesn't sleep. If I hold down that LED on the monitor, the machine will power off. On reboot, the recovered files folder in the trash holds six files whose names all start with "dftmp" (five of the six are named dftmpGELNNHAM with some subsequent lower case k and other characters, the sixth dftmpCPEMKHAM, also followed by a string of k and other lower case characters. The Recovered Files folder in the trash also contains a SENDMAIL folder, which is empty.
One diagnostic suggestion I received was to open Activity Monitor and the Console to see if anything unusual occurred (spikes in processor usage or RAM usage, for example). I have the logs, and just a few minutes ago another freeze occurred (the console's display and the Activity Monitor display freeze along with everything else). I'm not capable of interpreting the logs.
Rebooting after this most recent freeze, the CPU usage bar graph now shows the two processors alternating in rhythmic spikes of CPU usage by System (from a low of 5% to a high of more than 30%, the spikes being about 18 seconds apart per processor (so total System CPU usage peaks at 30% or thereabouts every 9 seconds). My sense is that this is not normal, and my MacBook Pro certainly doesn't do this. At the moment, the only things I'm doing on the machine are typing this message, downloading in Thoth, and watching the logs and Activity Monitor.
Is anyone interested in looking at my console logs? Is there someone else I should report this to? It's not something I can show to my local Genius, because this has happened only 3 times in a month. On each occasion, the freeze occurred when I was closing windows or changing focus from one window to another, but I cannot reproduce the freeze at will.
Thanks so much,

Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption and see if that helps.

What up with all the screen freezes since the updates?

What up with all the screen freezes since the updates?

Sorry to say your installation must have been unsuccessful.
A normal installation would not do this.
Uninstall, run the cleanscript* and try again (maybe your AV is too agressive).

Dual-DMVPN Design with Dual Hubs on a single router ??

Hi All,
In DMVPN, in Dual-DMVPN Design with Dual Hubs , can a single router perform the role of dual hubs.
The router has two different internet links. It is intended that when one link goes down, spokes shud connect to the same router onto the other active internet connection. Is this possible ?

Since no one has answered yet, I'll give you the practical answer.
You'll have issues with IPSec and static routing. "DMVPN" itself probably wouldn't have an issue, but it would depend on IPSec and routing to work.
It is easier, by far, to put in a second router. And when you factor in your time to try to make it work (and it may not work), the second router is less expensive.

New IMac 27"with dual internal hard drives

How do I manage Data on my new IMac 27"with dual internal hard drives? I have just migrated my data to my new computer. Since I've done it from a TM backup, it all went to the Analog HD. Ressearching online I've figured I could re-run Migrating assistant and replace different data between the SSD and the Analog. My problem now is: I want to keep my Music Library (iTunes), my Aperture Library and my documents on the analog, and use the SSD for System, Users and Apps. Aperture, is easy, because both Aperture and iPhoto can find their way, bt iTunes and My documents are a issue. Can Anyone help me?

Install OS X on the SSD:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your SSD volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on
the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero
Data option to one-pass. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to change the target disk to your SSD.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
After you boot from the SSD open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the user account and select Advanced Options. You will see a Home Dir: field with a Browse button on the right. Click on the button. Navigate to the HDD's Users folder. Select your account folder then click on the Open/Choose button. You must restart immediately.
Upon the restart your SSD system will now be using your actual Home folder located on the HDD. You can then go about installing your applications or copying them from the HDD to the Applications folder on the SSD (and also from the Utilities folder on the HDD to the one on the SSD.) You will likely need to do some transfers of the Applications Support and Preferences folders found in the main Library folder.

Swap axes doesn't work with dual axes chart types

Dear Colleagues,
I noticed that the function to 'swap axes' doesn't work with dual axes chart types.
This could be added as a hint to the Application Designer Guide, since it is not mentioned there.
Thanks, Katharina

Hi Katharina,
I recommend making this suggestion to a documentation update on Idea Place at ideas.sap.com
I like suggestions to the Help myself, something we should all do more often in my opinion

IMac freezes since 10.4.9 Update, corrupts disk every time

Hi. I would call myself a fairly experienced Mac User (6+ Years Exp, multiple Systems & Laptops, etc.) but my one week old 24'' iMac is making me sick ...
I got the System on Monday and it worked fine till the 10.4.9 Update. That can be coincidence, but maybe not:
It freezed since then 3 times with the same symptoms:
- Mouse can be moved, but the rest is not accessable - ball spins shortly after the freeze and stays that way
- keyboard can't do a force quit
- machine pings but can't be sshed from outside
This would be okay, if there wasn't this bad pattern:
When forced to reboot 2 times it rebooted, one time it didn't
But all times the boot disk couldn't be fixed with disk repair!!!
Disk-repair showed two different errors:
- keysize invalid ("Schlüssellänge ungültig")
- Volume Header damaged ("Volume Header beschädigt")
The last one apperead two times and one time the disk wasn't bootable since it would only mount read only (checked with verbose booting)
I got the first one repaired finally by mounting the system in Target Mode on my macbook and running fsck_hfs with rebuilding the b-tree.
My trust in "stable" working on this iMac is down to zero. I will now try to reinstall the system the 4th time and then stay with the 10.4.8 version until the error happens again ... then I guess its time for apple care.
(BTW: Yes, I ran Hardware Test in extended Mode about 10 times - nothing. Smart Status of the drive is okay. No Extensions installed, just plain software with office and Adobe Programms)
Strangely, this post looks somehow similar: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=891369&tstart=0
Any other ideas? Thank you for your time in advance...

Screen defragments and freezes since three days

I have creative Cloud since CS6 and used it without problems until three days ago on the following hardware:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
Processor Speed:          2.2 GHz

Sudden Motion Sensor:
State:          Enabled
with updated MacOS software. Three days ago it first occured that my screen suddenly flashes, gets horizontal lines, usually splits with part of the picture off the screen on one side, shown on the other, and in most cases freezes there with the sponning ball of death. I have made the hardware test and there is no problem, there is (possibly) no problem with Lightroom 5 if InDesign is not running, but InDesign CS6 and CC both now run only very shortly until the problem occurs. It also occurs when one of these programs has started, even if I have not used it yet. Until nowI have mainly worked on isolating the problems cause, and it is certainly related to adobe programs, but I have not tested other programs. The most recent update was Bridge CC five days ago, unistalling it did not help, as uninstalling CS6 (which I first thought is the cause, and I do need that version back) did not help either. I have not found anythin on that on the web or in your forum.
Thanks, Christian

Have you changed anything in regards to Mac OSX, such as installing system updates, updating drivers, etc?
To me, it looks like your GPU may be failing. Since Adobe software utilizes the GPU, that's why you're seeing it with these programs. You should test with other software that utilizes the GPU and see what happens.

Screen Sharing problem with dual monitors in 10.6

When I'm using Screen Sharing from my Macbook to my iMac with dual displays (10.6.1 on both machines) It works fine when I initially connect, but when I switch to Display 1, it shows me Display 1, but though my cursor moves, I can't click on anything. It won't let me go back to viewing both displays either, and changing from Adaptive to Full Quality or vice-versa makes no difference, as does Scaling. This happens whether I'm on my local network or using Back-to-my-Mac. It was working fine under Leopard, but has been exhibiting this behavior since the 10.6 upgrade.
Mark

This is a very irritating bug. One thing that has worked for me a couple of times (I think a couple of times it also didn't work) is to turn on mirroring. Screen sharing then only shows one monitor, since they are both the same. I'm not sure if the monitors have to have the same resolution for this to work, mine do. The nice thing about this is that before quitting the screen sharing app you can just turn mirroring off again and it will go back to normal. It's easiest to do this by enabling the 'show displays in menu bar' in your displays preferences.

QuadroFX 500 with dual 20" ACDs?

Does anyone know the compatibility of this card with dual 20" Cinema Displays?
My boss has kindly OK'd me to have two of these panels, but I'm struggling to find a definitive answer on if my dual DVI 128mb Quadro FX500 video card (in a Dell Precision 450 running XP SP2) will work or not?
TIA,
Paul

The main issue with driving two displays is that it divides the video RAM between the displays. So, your 128MB card acts like two 64MB cards. This isn't likely an issue unless you're playing games or doing something that needs to load textures onto the video card (e.g., Aperture, Motion).
There shouldn't be a noticeble difference in Final Cut since, as you know, it isn't currently GPU accelerated. After Effects, on the other hand, can use the GPU to accelerate previews, depending on the version of AE that you have.

Problems With Dual Layers Break Points

I have 3 G5 Macs all without intell chip sets. I have tried this with all 3 Macs so lets take the newest one of the 3. Its running on mac osx version 10.4.11 Processer and is 4x2.5 ghz power pc g5 with hl-dt-st dvd-rw gwa-416sb. I can burn single DVD'S all day long, but the problem starts with dual layers. I am using verbatim DVD+R DL. I have one movie which is 2 hours and 36 minutes it burns fine when I burn a single layer, however when I try to build and format a dual layer I get that message window: formatting failed (its says formatting was not successful, the image exceeds the max allowed size for a dual layer configuration.) That is on automatic breakpoint. I have tried inputting in my own break point no matter where I put it the same message window appears. I am using DVD SP 4.1.2 also on FCP 5.1.4. I also tried buring dual layers on Sony DRX A10 UL-T all was working fine last year. I cant figure out why this has changed. Any suggestions will be helpful and appreciated. Sincerely Bob.

Welcome to the boards
Since you are using a Dual Layer Disc, there has to be a break point where it crosses over from Layer 0 to Layer 1, if you have no Chapter Markers at all (or a limited number of Markers, none of which fall near the point which is a bit more than half the size of the assets you will get an error that a Layer is the wrong size.
What you do is
1.) Set up markers in the areas where your would guesstimate the Layer Break(s) should be
2.) Build the project (but not format)
3.) Format a Disc (in the dialog that comes up, click on advanced tab, then where it says break point, use the pulldown which will have all valid breakpoint markers dark/black, while non-valid Layer Break Markers will be faded) If no marker is black there is no marker in the right place, regardless of you use automatic or not.
If the message is not for a layer issue as above (meaning one of the two layers exceeds the permissable size) then it can be an encoding rate issue. 2 Hours and 36 Minutes on a DL should be about 6.9 Average with AC3 audio @ 192. Even then it may be too close depending on menus and the rest. If using uncompressed audio or higher settings for video, could be the problem.

Hey Guys,
I fail to see the Logic in "don't buy dual core now... it’s too expensive… wait till the price drops in 2006." You don't HAVE to buy dual core... but since it's here... there really is no reason not to. You still need a processor now to get you through till 2006... So that means spending $300 (CND + Tax) on a 3200+ and then in 2006... Spending another 400 (maybe even 500) on a 4400+... so in the end you'll still have spent close to $800.
By buy dual core now... you get to use it NOW!... so you also have to take that into consideration. I've already returned my San Diego 4000+ and waiting till June 12th for the 4400+ to get in stock. I don't think I’ve seen anyone in here using a dual core with the 1.4 BIOS, so I’m not sure if 1.4 will work at all... But everyone seems to be say that 1.5 will become official in early June... with dual core support and a VDIMM of up to 3.1v
Just my $.02
Point well taken, but add this, what is going to change between now and then? I like to set back read reviews and watch them work out the bugs before I buy. All to often we get burned buying to quick in the Pc Market. And last point "use it NOW" may I ask on what? Now I just through that in so give me some links to read, because iam not uptodate on Dual core except the price.

Trouble with Neo4 Platnum and AMD X2 with dual channel memory

I just installed an X2 3800+ in my Neo4 Platnum board. The board had a 3500 in it and ran fine. When I installed the X2, the machine will no longer POST if the memory is in the dual channel mode. I flashed to the latest BIOS (1.8) and it still does not work. I am using 2 Corsair XMS 2-2-2-5 Dimms each at 512MB. The PC POSTs fine if I place both modules in the Green slots. It does not work with 1 in green and 1 in purple (with either Dimms1-2 or 3-4). Has anyone else seen this?

Todd,
Your last post help me understand your situation a bit better. Here are some questions for you:
1- On your old system did these memory sticks work fine has a dual channel pair? Were these 2 memory sticks bought has a dual channel rated matched pair?
2- In your own words give me your definition of POST?
3- In your own words give me your exact detailed rendition of what happens when you try to post with dual setup. (How far do you get? Where does it hang up?)
4- Can you access your BIOS if booting with only one memory stick? If so, this is only for testing purposes, set your memory as 2.5,3,3,8, and 2T and add 0.05 volts to both your CPU and memory recommended voltages. Save, exit, and then shut down your system. Re-install the second stick of RAM in a proper dual channel slot. Re-boot and see what happens. If successful posting and booting in dual channel with this BIOS config go back to your BIOS and tighten your board and memory timings one at a time until you ID the perfect BIOS config for your CPU and RAM. Do the same with your CPU & RAM voltages.
AMD CPUs encompass their own memory control devices. There might just be enough variance between your older & newer AMD chips to reject dual configuration. If this is the case you may be able to correct it by using step for above. If this does not work, you sould borrow some suitable and proven dual channel memory sticks from a friend to see if the will work in your rig as dual channel?
Just keep on trucking & you'll solve it
