G5 2ghz Dual - Hanging with LED #7!!!

Hi folks,
my 8 month old G5 has just started hanging (freezing completely!) with the #7 LED lit. There are no Kernel Panic screens shown - it just stops working. At the moment its run time is limited to about 60mins. Its not a software issue as all that checks out fine, nor is it a HD issue, however I think it could be a RAM or Logic Board issue as I ran Apple Hardware Test & it came up with: "post/0/2048 DIMM4/J7100" But only twice then after that it passed all the installed RAM - then I removed the RAM from J7100 (yes & its counterpart in the opposite slot) & it still crashed!! AppleCare said I need to take it to a repair shop to get it looked at - DOH!
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? As the exact same thing happened to my 2 & a half year old Mirror Door G4 last year - they couldn't fix it so they replaced it with this G5!! Not impressed to be honest!
Thanks for any help.
Rory

Well, its been a month since my last post here & thats been enough time for my G5 to be sent away for repair a second time, it came back with a new logic board & what I thought was a clean bill of health as it was working perfectly!
But....
Today its done the exact same thing it did before the 2 repair sessions!!! DOH! Lock-up with LED 7 & no KP history.
So I called Apple & they've agreed (rightly so) to take in again for another new Logic Board. That means more time without my main computer for work - not on really. But I just hope they can fix it this time. I'm a bit annoyed as I'd just got the machine running perfectly with a fast well maintained system on it, Murphy's Law I guess. Its been the best Mac I've ever owned - but also at the same time the most troublesome!
Does anyone know why such a fault would keep accruing even though the apparently bad part has been replaced? The only thing I can think of is that the bad Logic Board was part of a larger fault, or the new LB was faulty too? I'm at a loss to be honest.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Cheers for any help/info.
Rory

New MacBook Pro with dual Apple 24 LED Display's?

I am about to buy a new MacBook to replace my iMac (which I have an added 22in monitor for dual displays). I really like the new Apple 24 LED Display (except for the price!) and wanted to know if I can have dual Apple 24 LED Display's running off a MacBook Pro.
If not will it work using the dual-link DVI adapter with a splitter? Or if I want to run dual monitors should I look elsewere (none Apple)?
Any helps would be awesome! My kids will love getting my iMac permanently...LOL.

Given that the stumbling block to more flexible power options is the infamous patent-protected MagSafe connector
The funny thing is, I've seen loads of cheap "replacement" MagSafe adapters on eBay, Amazon and in local shops. On eBay, they cost (new) about $26, on Amazon I've seen them as cheap as $17!!, against the $80 that Apple charges. And apparently, it's not worth it to pursue the matter, it's been going on for more than a year now.
made of pure unobtanium and guarded by packs of rabid lawyers, someone is shooting themselves in the foot by making the power bricks so frail that the secondary damaged goods recovery market grows without bounds...
I really dig that unobtainium reference :-)
What I've found is that the bricks aren't so frail but the DC cord is! Apparently that's difficult to make resilient, with the characteristics that Apple wanted them to have. Out of every ten broken MagSafe adapters I've seen, only two actually have failed electronics, five have frayed DC wiring and three have a broken MagSafe connector.

5G Appears to cause dual G5 to hang with reboot message

I have a 5G and a 3G. Since I have loaded the 5G up to near full, I have had my G5 dual processor with tiger hangup during update with the reboot screen. This has never happened with the 3G ipod.
5G is nearly full with audio, photos, and video

I'm not sure what to make of it either exactly but will offer some suggestions.
Where the computer is starting but getting only a black screen I first thought pulling the ram. That it may be corrupted, the wrong ram, or a bad slot. Pulling the ram in that situation has and does work, in your case it didn't.
When a cpu fan doesn't run at all, it's a clear indication the fan itself, or power supply. But fans running to fast can also indicate a bad fan.
I don't believe it's a power supply, bad fan, hard drive, or battery. I seem to think a aging G5 computer having logic board failure? There appears to be alot of these same post with the same issues with these old G5's.

Dual boot with Ubuntu 13.0 using bootable USB problem (Y410P)

Hi I recently bought Lenovo Y410P and have been since trying for hours to dual boot with Ubuntu but I was unsuccessful.
I formatted by USB drive in FAT format, and created a bootable usb using Pendrive. Then I changed the Boot Mode to Legacy Support and the boot order so it boots from the flash storage first.
Then it hung on a purple screen like this: http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png
and the keyboard doesn't work and I couldn't go any further from here.
So I tried to use a different program called Unetbootin, and the problem got worse and it just stopped working at the option screen where you select whether to just try Ubuntu or install it, etc.
I read it somewhere the recent version of Unetbootin doesn't work, so I got the 474 version of it, and finally I was able to select from the option menu and it didn't hang. However when I clicked on Install Ubuntu, it just stopped there for a while, and then the boot failed and moved onto Windows 8 again.
I looked at the USB drive, and I realized the folder and some config files are names isolinux instead of syslinux, so I changed them, and now I'm getting the "SYSLINUX 3.86 2010..." words on the black screen and it hangs there.
I saw a similar message before using Pendrive and it was like "SYSLINUX 4.10 2012...". That was because the flash drive wasn't formatted in FAT (it was FAT32). So I re-checked the drive, but it is indeed formatted in FAT so I'm not sure why now I'm getting a similar message.
It will be much appreciated if you could give me some suggestions as to how to solve this problem.
Thanks

Something else you could try. Not sure it will make any difference.
Skip the boot creation tools and just boot the thing in UEFI mode.
Use the latest (12.10 or later will work, IIRC) 64-bit Ubuntu ISO. Format your flash drive as a single FAT32 partition. Extract the contents of the ISO to the flash drive. Use 7zip for Windows, or your favorite Linux de-archiving tool. That's it.
[edit] I don't believe the partition needs to be set active, but haven't tested that.
Set BIOS boot mode to UEFI. Even secure boot mode should work withe a new enough Ubuntu - but isn't necessary.
Give that a try. If it still barfs at the same place, mess around with the start-up graphics options.

Why do you have spaces at the end of the property names?
Those spaces are not being ignored, which means you've

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Professional Calibration for the Powerbook Pro with LED Monitor

This is what I have discovered: The new LED monitor/screen is a better technology for graphics pros because it's brighter, doesn't need to warm up like CRT and LCD, and it's more efficient. I have also discovered that the current Powerbook Pro with LED is not possible to calibrate with a spyder-type device because the computer itself doesn't allow the user to control overall R G and B levels at all...so as to achieve a prcise initial white point setup. Once RGB levels are balanced, only then can a spyder with it's assoc software continue it's recordings with precision. Other problems exist: Apparently the graphics cards in the Powerbook Pro (I have the newest machine, bought Nov 2008, with LED screen) are not able to permit any software (like Monaco Optix) from adjusting the brightness or color levels. As well, to my knowledge, there are not currently any spyders with software which offers LED as an option initially. I tried setting it to LED and LCD with my LED monitor, just to see the difference....and there was a huge one...so it's futile even to use the spyder if the software hasn't been developed with the LED screens in mind.
*What I did was this: I calibrated my LaCie electronBlueIV 22" professional monitor with the sypder...using Monaco Optix and it's XR spyder. Once that was established, I opened a photoshop sample image which has a blue sky, green pine trees, green/yellow grass, a red boat and some white snowcapped peaks. Made a duplicate of it....and placed one copy on the LaCie and the other on my powerbook's monitor just below (I'm running 2 monitors at the same time). Then I went through the "professional" mode of Apple's calibrator. Unfortunately it's not an exact science as one might think. No, you can't work it back and forth until the colors match because of certain ways in which Apple has made their calibrator function. For example, you only set the degrees kelvin at the end...which totally changes all the color levels you have done up until that point....it's complicated to explain, but if you go through it once, you will understand what I'm talking about. Anyhow, so what I did was go through it all the way.....then right before saving the profile....I would go back again (you can go backwards and forwards and it keeps the adjustments you've made already...luckily) and tweak these various adjustments...all the while...*keeping an eye on my 2 images...trying to nudge my powerbook colors/brightness/contrast as close as possible to my calibrated LaCie. Finally, I used the final adjustment (D50/5500/D65 etc....) to put some more warmth into the powerbook's monitor which seems to be much too cold if you only use the calibrator and have no other monitor for reference. I set mine around 5,200......when normally I would be at 5,500 with any other monitor.
It seems I did get my LED monitor pretty close to the values of my calibrated LaCie....as close as I could visually...considering, to my knowledge, there is no current device/software that will calibrate this LED monitor. We're waiting!!
*Just a friendly note to Apple*
Dear Apple,
For years you are aware that it is the creative professionals (photographers, graphic designers, visual artists, printers, architects, etc...) who have been the loyal backbone of your small market share. We have been the ones investing and reinvesting in Apple computers and peripherals since the beginning...before the ipod and the iphone when all of the other yahoos jumped onboard. Also please understand...we love the new generation of powerbooks but we're tired of having to drag around an extra monitor to insure correct colors for printing/color-matching. I'm a professional photographer who is always traveling internationally...and away from my calibrated monitor in my office. Yet, many times I have to retouch on the go and get the images to my clients..and it's just not possible to work on a calibrated monitor at these moments. Yet my work is precise work and the color values are critical to my clients in the world of fashion and beauty.
Realizing this point.....knowing your core clients are concerned with critical color values....why is it that you continue to create portables with absolutely no precise color controls?!!!!!!!! Would it be so difficult to add a utility which allows the user to digitally control RGB levels, contrast, and brightness (withe their associated numeric levels, (for example: brightness=78.3%.) As well, your own calibration assistant..."professional" mode??? HARDLY. Why not build onto this model with another mode...let's call it "super professional" mode (lol) which allows us to access overall RG&B....as well as brightness and even contrast???
That's what I know at this stage. If anyone has any advice which adds to what I have said, or maybe someone can educate me with a more accurate way to calibrate my monitor....I'm all ears...and I'm sure I'm not alone in this quagmire.
S,
Lawrence

I've had the same concerns about the lack of any monitor controls (unless there's something I'm missing), but afraid I don't have any answers myself yet. Just wanted to ask do you mean "Powerbook Pro" or are you talking about a MacbookPro?

Arch does not show up in Grub when dual booting with windows 8

I just installed Arch linux, dual booting with windows 8 using the beginners guide[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide] itself. Now Grub is installed and i can only find Windows 8 and I cannot find Arch. Is there a way I can find if arch linux has been installed and show up in Grub.
Sorry, I am a newbie, but i chose to post this topic here and not newbie corner as it is installation related.
My windows 8 is installed on /dev/sda1 with ntfs partition type. Arch Linux is installed on /dev/sda6 and it is ext4 partition. I dont know if this info helps. I am using Thinkpad R61

I am sorry, yes you are too late. I have wiped windows 8 and performed clean install. No regrets. And as a matter of fact, I did grub-config and then installed os-prober. That could be the problem. Thanks. I will try this again another time.

[SOLVED] RTC and dual booting with Windows 8/8.1

I am planning ahead of installing Arch on a windows 8.1 laptop, and need to understand whether or not the known Windows registry hack to get windows to use UTC for the RTC is still valid for Windows 8/8.1? I have been searching via google and the usual sources of information, but it is not clear to me if there are problems doing this, specifically if arch is dual booted with Windows 8/8.1 rather than older versions of the MS OS. Certainly I have used the technique without any problem in the past when dual booting Windows XP with Arch on several different machines.
Does anyone have personal experience with doing this on a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine and can report here on whether it works successfully or not?
Thanks for any advice.
Last edited by mcloaked (2014-02-11 21:16:21)

Since there were no replies at this point I thought I would just go ahead and implement the registry hack on the Windows 8.1 O/S in the laptop and see if Windows behaves. It appears to be OK, with the displayed time being correct after reboot, and time synchronisation remaining fine with no problems seen in the displayed time, although I won't be able to read the RTC directly until I have completed the Arch install in the coming week or two. I now don't foresee any issues with the time synchronisation between booting Arch and Windows 8.1 so I will mark this as solved.
Since the RTC is now in UTC then normal clock config in Arch using chrony should perform normally once the install is done and the new system set up.

Help - How to install Win XP in dual boot with Win 7 (first installed)?

Hi everybody!
I'm having some difficult in install a win xp in dual boot with win 7 (which came with the G550 notebook).
I modified the D: (Lenovo) partition to a primary partition to install the XP. Also I installed the EasyBCD to manange the boots and both S.O. load fine.
The problem is that Win XP is seeing a partition (the first partition on disk) with 200MB that is hidden for Win 7 ! So this partition takes the C: letter in XP and mess all the configuration once that many programs uses the C: as a default letter.
The disk is divided in (aprox):
200 MB hidden partition (from factory)
160GB with Win 7 installed
40GB with Win XP installed
19GB hidden partition (Recovery - from factory)
Is anyone has some idea who to solve this problem or make install XP from the beginning without problems?
Thank a lot!

If is best to buy from a reputable supplier that actually test RAM in Mac's and guarantee there upgrade kits.
The two most recommended here are OWC and Crucial

IPhoto 6 - STILL freezing on a Dual G5 with 370 images

What is it with iPhoto?! I've paid for another upgrade after promises of finally sorting out the sluggishness. Yet, with a library of only 370 images, each not bigger than 2MB, I can STILL only scroll through half of the thumbnails before the beachball comes in. I wait. I wait some more. Then I force quit.
Could there be a problem with my images which is causing this? Most of the images were imported from elsewhere on my machine, rather than a camera (can't imagine how this would have any impact on performance).
How is iPhoto supposed to cope with 250,000 images?! I have a Dual 2G with 2.5GB of RAM.

Do you have DiskWarrior? If so I'd boot into it's CD and rebuild the directory files. Then boot into the Single User Mode and run the file system check - fsck as follows:
FSCK - File System Check
To start up in single-user mode
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold both the Command (Apple) and "s" keys on your keyboard. The computer will display a series of text messages, at which time you may release these keys.
When the computer has started up, it will display a command line prompt (#). The computer is now in single-user mode.
How to Run the File System Check from the Command Line
Once you have reached a command line, follow these steps to use fsck:
1. At the prompt, type: fsck -fy (NOTE, there is a space between the k and the “-”)
The fsck utility will go through five "phases" and then return information about the disk's utilization and fragmentation. Once the check is finished, if no issue is found, you should see "** The volume <name of volume> appears to be OK."
If fsck alters, repairs, or fixes anything, it will display the message:
**** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***
IMPORTANT: If this message appears, repeat the "fsck -fy" command until this message no longer appears. It is not unusual for your computer to require several "passes" of fsck, because first-pass repairs may uncover additional errors. Run it until you get two consecutive times with an "OK" result.
3. When fsck reports that no problems were found, type: reboot
4. Press Return.
Also run OnyX to clear all of the user caches and run the Maintenance scripts.
See if that will help.
Since you're using iPhoto for clients may I suggest the following:
Create a new library for each client. That should keep it fairly small and allow you to burn the iPhoto Library folder via the Finder to a single disk, CD or DVD. Then is a client comes back at a later date and wants another book, all you got to do is copy that folder from the disk to your HD, open it with iPhoto and order another book. OR, just create a separate library for each book and save those libraries to CDs, again via the Finder.
Also, before completing the order for a book find and copy the pdf file that iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. You can use this for proofing before completing the order and as a record of the book for future reference. (There's a way you might be able to use that file to order a duplicate book at a later date even with totally different library but that's another thread).
Hope this has been of some help.

I just bought Mac Book pro; trying to hook up dual monitor with Samsung syncmaster 2033 but no signal; I am using dvi to hdmi converter. Please assist.

I just purchased a Macbook Pro but unable to set up dual display with samsung syncmaster 2033 via DVI to HDMI port.
Thank you in advance for help.

There has been quite a lot of discussion here about driving twin displays with the mini, and more recently about the potential for USB video adapters to facilitate this, particularly in the light of several vendors claiming they have suitable MacOS devices and drivers 'almost ready'.
The DisplayLink solution seems to be the one most suggested as viable, though it's a pity they have not yet been able to move their drivers from beta - I suspect that puts a few people off. It's therefore good to hear of a real-world experience that should help others decide whether or not to go this route!

Alittle help with dual-setup with ati radeon 5770

Hello everyone, I have been trying to setup a dual display with 2 flat panel monitors.
1. A WestingHouse Digital Electronics "17"
2. A Goldstar Company Ltd "23" (Main Display)
Im currently running the gnome desktop, what im trying to setup, is have both the gnome desktop show up on both monitors. For example if I wanted to move something from my main monitor to the smaller one to the left of me, I want to NOT be able to do that, and only have the mouse be able to move accross the 2. 2 Seperate desktops one 2 seperate screens. Im not quite sure what its called, Im thinking maybe its a clone Desktop? Anways, The graphics card Im using is an
Ati Radeon 5770, has 2 vga ports. I currently have the "video-ati" driver installed and works well with my main screen, but im unable to get my secondary screen (to the left of me) working. I tried going into System>>Preferences>>Monitors, and tried tinkering with the display, and tried enabling the 2 monitors and moving them from left to right, to see if that would possibly let it show up or start to function, but only the main screen works. I generated a new xorg.conf, since I didnt have one prior to installing Arch, I was following these to guides

both are very nice, but Im still not quite understanding yet. Defiantly am trying. I edited my xorg.conf a few times, but got the same results each time, just the screen going blank and X crashing. I have here a copy of my xorg.conf, Xorg.conf.log, and xrandr output

An xorg.conf may not be necessary, but I still find it nice to have the control that the file provides.
In looking over yours, I see several things that could be causing your problems.
First off, I notice that you have Screen0 that is using Card0 and Monitor0. This part looks ok.
When I look at Screen1, I notice that you are using ATI Graphics Adapter1 and Monitor1. I don't see entries for either of those, although you have an ATI Graphics Atapter2, but there is no entry for your second monitor.
I also notice that you are trying to use both radeon and fglrx as drivers. As far as I know (and I don't have an ATI video card at the moment), you can use one driver or the other, but not both.
After you have these things fixed, then you can put in the Screen section in your server layout to describe the positioning of your second monitor.
All in all, the issues that you have to fix are minor, but frusterating if you are too close to the situation.
Good luck.
