G5 locks up when logging out and other concern

This has become a problem over the past year. I know that it is an old single processor, first of the Power Macs, legacy machine and OS. I have gone through all various check system/disk evolutions with Apple and TechTool Utilities.
Also, when I have a software glitch, I can never get the Send To Apple report to "send". I get a message that reads something along the line of 'not being able to connect to Apple'. Why, the legacy problem again? If so, I am suprized that I get iTunes and Safari updates.

I don't think it has anything to do with it being a "legacy" Mac.  I have a Power Mac G5, running Leopard, and it runs quite well.
Locking up when logging out is usually caused by a process that is running and the OS is not able to quit it.  It may be related to an app, or it may be a background process.  If you restart (or log out and log in) and then immediately log out, does it lock up?
As a test, you can try creating a new user account in System Preferences Accounts pane.  Log out of your usual account and log in to the new account.  Do some things you normally do, then try logging out.  Does it lock up?

  • Font is changed when print out and other issues

    Hi,
    I need help with some of my issues with Diadem. I am quite new with Diadem. 
    I use Diadem to generate report from teststands. The data is passed from Teststands - VI using Diadem connectivity toolkit and a VB script is called to generate PDF and print out the computer.
    1. First issue: the font on the diadem looks different with the one is printed out or in pdf. The font in pdf is bigger than in Diadem. You can look in my screenshot.
    2. Second issue: sometime it cannot export pdf and the error message is Cannot open the .pdf file.
    3. I need to get the channel name and the content of it in the script. Could you please tell me how to do it?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi NTT,
    I was able to print a PDF file that looks good, though perhaps the missing link for me is the master layout file you haven't sent yet:

  • Cannot change appleid on my phone. Some other id is on there and there is no way to delete it. I have logged out and logged back in in settings, then when I go back to the store it still says the other appleid

    I switched to a different iphone today. When I go in to do my updates it has another person's apple id. Even when I went into settings, log out, and log back in that apple id is still there. I cannot get it to go away and it isn't in my settings to delete.

    It seems that app was downloaded with the Apple ID that keeps popping up. Delete the app and redownload it.

  • I changed my apple id and even though I've logged out and in, and updated everything, I still get "your apple id has been disabled" when I try to update my apps. Help?

    I changed my apple id because my email has changed. I've updated everything I can think of on my iPhone. I've logged out and back in and I still get a " your apple id has been disabled" message every time I try to update my apps. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm sure there's an easy solution but I've tried all the tutorials on apple.com and nothing works. Can anyone help?

    When you say you have changed your Apple ID, how did you change it? Did you maintain your existing Apple ID via Manage your Apple ID and EDIT it to a new email address, or did you set up a brand new Apple ID?

  • How to store variables when logging in and out of course

    Hi there,
    I hope I can explain this properly! I am developing a course using Captivate 7, and it includes drag and drop exercises, free text box entries and an unmarked quiz at the end of each module.
    We are using Cornerstone LMS and learners will be able to log in and out and resume the course from the point they had last reached.
    My problem is - if you enter text into one of the free text boxes, I have set it to store it as a variable, so that this variable can be displayed on another page in the course. But when you log out and then log in again, it has lost everything that was typed it.
    The same with drag and drop - it doesn't remember where you had dragged the boxes to.
    Is there a way that I can make sure the text entered into the text entry boxes is stored in the LMS and will still be displayed when a learner logs back into the course?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Rachel

    User defined variables are stored in the suspend data. As long as you exit the course normally and do NOT check Never Send Resume Data, your user defined variables should be available.
    Captivate also stores quiz data, but not the state of a quiz. You will not be able to drag one object, exit the course and return with one object dropped.  You can see an example of suspend data from my LMS, notice the user variable inRemediation which is initially false, but was set to true, then exited and returned with the value as true:
    suspend_data: F1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nPHNinRemediationAEtrueIq1_frameB.OkBIq2_frameBACQ1BBCQ2BBTcpQuizInfoStudentIDBAV

  • CanI dont want my data synch with my work pc. Why cant I just go to a FireFox Account log and once logged in, have my data shown as a plug-in. When I am done surfing I log out and my data remains on the web and NOT on the local pc?

    Lets make Firefox Synch a function that if one 'logs onto' his or her account, then the browser will 'plugin' the users data (ie History, PW, etc). Once the user finishes his day (work or at home) he or she logs out and nothing remains in the local pc regarding favorites or anything. Instead of synching the data to every pc just keep the data on the cloud or web. That way the data travels where ever one is without the need to synch it and thus having it on the local pc. Maybe it already does this, but I dont see it explained anywhere. My 2 cents.

    When my pc and tablet were together I synched the bookmarks and everything was fine but I had to send my pc to repair and upon receiving it back I used the same sync account and although my phone and pc sync history the bookmarks and preferences on my tablet will not show up on my phone or pc. I have reset firefox and uninstalled and reinstalled, and I have changed recovery key, but the only thing that seems to show up as sincing with my pc is my pphone with no bookmarks passwords or preferences.

  • On my daughters iPad mini she can not send messages. She can receive them but the send button stays light gray after you type a message. It worked when we first set it up but now it does not. Tried resetting and logging out and back in. With no change.

    I can not send messages on an iPad mini the send button stays light gray and will not send. I can receive. I reset and logged out and back inn with no results. It worked fine when we first set it up. Any suggestions?

    Hello iMessage issues 1234,
    Thank you for the details of the issue your daughter is experiencing with sending messages on the iPad.  It sounds like you might have the Subject Field turned on. To disable this go to Settings > Messages > Show Subject Field.
    iPhone User Guide - Messages settings
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphf2d853e3
    If the Subject Field is not enabled but messages are still not sending, I recommend continuing with the following article:

  • When "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, display gets black and a weird pixelation when I move the mouse

    When "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, and those X minutes pass by, my MBA logs out. After that, when I want to use it again, I found that display is totally black and if I use the touchpad, then I can start seeing "what is behind" that black screen (Login Window), like you can see on the picture:
    I took it to Tech Service and they didnt find out any hardware issue. Any ideas?

    I recently found out that this only happens when DISPLAY is set to go to sleep minutes before the "Log out after X minutes of inactivity". I had "Display sleep" option set to 5 minutes and "Log out after 10 minutes of inactivity" and this causes the display to go to sleep first (screen goes black) and then, 5 minutes later, it logs out.
    If "Display sleep" is off and "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, the issue does not replicate. So Im thinking it has something to do with the screen being black at the moment it logs out. Can you try and replicate that?
    I will be checking the thread you suggested and hopefully oudgrad1764 can find a solution. Thanks a lot.

  • Help with occasional system locks when logging out or rebooting

    Basically what's happening is occasionally when logging out, restarting, or rebooting from an X session, I get a total system freeze. The screen goes blank and there's no input possible. I'm not seeing anything in the logs. The card is using the xf86-video-intel driver and used to work fine with the i810 driver.
    There are some similar threads around like this one:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65469
    but it's still somewhat different. For me it only happens occasionally and I lose complete control of the system. This was happening when starting from GDM, and is now happening from starting either with 'exec startlxde' or 'exec ck-launch-session startlxde' (current). GDM is gone now (Hurray! Whoopy! Yahoo!)
    One of the solutions listed in the above thread was to remove the vga= line from the kernel command in menu.lst. I don't have that. Another solution was to add it. I didn't try it yet. If this were the problem, wouldn't the behavior be consistent?
    It's worth mentioning for a bunch of attempts yesterday I couldn't log in with startx, and I was getting a number of different errors in Xorg.0.log. Today it's working. I have no idea why; It's the same xorg.conf and same software as before.
    I'm out of ideas. Got any?

    I really could use some ideas with this. The machine in question isn't in my possession very often and it needs to 'just work'. I've since removed everything from lxde except for the panel and am now using a straight openbox session.
    The machine only blanks when shutting down, logging out, or restarting. I do have control over the power button, so it will power off. Unfortunately this just kills it, so the file system is uncleanly mounted. Eventually this is going to kill data (if it hasn't already).
    I want to reiterate that there is nothing in the logs that everyone isn't seeing with the intel drivers. I've been through countless bug trackers, as well as threads here and elsewhere. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get this machine to close gracefully? If I can't get X/intel to play nicely, is there something I can do to get the power button to close the system properly?
