G3 screen lights up every 18 seconds for 6 seconds while at rest? How can I stop that

A G3 lights up the screen every 18 seconds for 6 seconds while at rest. How do I stop this. Have turned off all the auto update, location find, etc I can find and it still lights the screen every 18 seconds. Battery taking a beating and can't use it for an entire day without a charge. This seems to be the culprit.
Help!
Paul

Reset, hold Home and Power buttons until iPhone restarts itself.
Clean dock port, use a clean dry toothbrush. Lint free cloth moistened with Isopropyll Alcohol.

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

    You should check with the software publisher. Although you will need a separate iPad version of the program, some publishers make the iPad version cheap or even free, knowing that you have to buy the Mac or PC version to get the most out of the iPad version.

  • Is it possible for someone who updated my phone on their computer to read my messages without me knowing? If so how can I stop that?

    Is it possible for someone who updated my phone on their Mac to read all my current messages? And if so how can I stop it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I really doubt it. To do that, that person must have stolen your Apple ID email and password, and then, log in Messages in his/her iPhone with your Apple ID to read your messages. The Apple ID of an iPhone doesn't change when you connect it to your Mac, so don't worry

  • After iMac is asleep, it requires going though the network diagnostics screens to reconnect to the internet.  What happened and how can I fix that?

    After the iMac has been asleep, it requires me to go through the Network Diagnostics screens to reconnect to the internet.  Why and how can I fix that?

    Which model iMac do you have?  Which OS system are you using?  Need this information to provide you with the correct troubleshooting solution(s).  
    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • I-Mac shuts down after sitting for a while, why and how can it be fixed?

    i Mac shuts down when left for a time in sleep mode. Am I missing something or is this supposed to happen?
    It has never happened while anyone is using the computer but that may just be because it often sits over night without use.
    Am using a logitech Wave USB keyboard and mouse because my wife likes it.

    OK reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    4. Release the power button.
    5. Attach the computers power cable.
    6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    and check all of the power connections.
    The iMac's are sensitive to power issues (sag or momentary outage) while in sleep mode. If in the Energy Saver preference "Start up automatically after a power failure" is unchecked (as it should be) then you could/would/should find the iMac off after a power problem.

  • AE is clipping a fraction of a second off my imported WMV footage, how can I stop this happening?

    Hi all,
    I've created a new composition using some WMV footage and I want to add a bit of adobe illustrator art on at the end like a closing title. I don't need to extend the length of the movie, the art can just lay over the top of the imported footage.
    The problem I have is when I import the footage (File > Import > File...) I import the WMV file and once inside the composition After Effects trims a tiny bit off the end of the imported footage where there's a fade to white then it ends on a black screen. It wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't losing part of someone's sentence as it fades out.
    Can anyone help me please?
    For further info, I've set fps to 25 which is the same as the imported footage and I've tried importing it into longer compositions. Oh and also if it helps I'm working on a PC using After Effects 7 Professional.
    I wonder if it might be something to do with the fade out in the imported footage???
    Many thanks in advance for any responses.

    The issue is most likely with the source file. The last keyframe interval is not complete and thus AE makes wrong assumptions about the clip duration because it stops at the last full keyframe. This usuall happens, if you use VBR encoding in the WMV files and leave everything at the Automatic settings. If you plan on using WMV files for your work in Ae, you should export them differentlyx from whatever otehr app you use, that is with a fixed keyframe interval and a constant data rate. As Rick said, though, re-editing already compressed files is not the best way to work, so if you have full control over the source material, consider otehr file formats, CoDecs and so on...

  • I have a powerbook problem is it keeps going 2 a black screen  about 1.5 min right before that happens the fan moter turns on how can i stop that from happen

    I have a powerbook g4 that i just bought the problem is it keeps going 2 a black screen every 2min or so when i am on the internet.now right before that happens the fan moter goes on .to get back 2 the page i was on i have 2 hit the return key this is a problem. can any one help me with this problem

    Powerbooks have heat sensors that control the fan. The fan can run and not be heard unless the speed increases. If the powerbook thinks it's getting to hot it can start going into a shutdown mode.Thats a safety feature. Now if the sensor is reading heat wrong you might need to  reset you PMU- power management control. since I don't know what model powerbook you have, I need to refer you to the apple article on it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
