G5 tower - no good... what should I do?

Lightning striked my dual G5 tower. I brought to the place and was told that I need new logic board and hard drive. They are no good. I struggled to make decision so I went ahead to buy MacPro. I still have G5. I don't know what to do with it. Should I go ahead to buy logic board? It might not be good idea because maybe something else bad inside. Any suggestions? I struggled because it is only 2 1/2 years old and expensive. It is hard to throw it away. Thought to check with you to see any suggestions from you. Smile!

If it was damaged by lightning it may be covered by your home-owner's insurance. If so see what their policy is on repair vs. replacement.
Before buying a new logic board, do some more testing. The power supply may also be dead. If it is just some bad ports (USB, Ethernet, or FireWire), you could get a PCI card to provide the ports for a lot less money than a new logic board. The hard drive may be OK, just the power supply bad. Have you tried it in another computer? It is SATA, so should work in the Mac Pro. If it really does need a new logic board and CPUs, it is probably not worth fixing. You could sell it for parts.

    my gen 4 iPod doesn't charge, the usb cable is good(works on other apple products) What should i do?

    What normally happens is most people take showers and listen to thier ipods or live around many sources of humidity.  Moisture corrodes the 30 pin connector on the ipod touch.  Clean and inspect the ipod touch's connection pins to resolve most charging/ sync issues.. The pins could also be dirty, bent or broken.  If dirty: Take 91% rubbing alcohol, dip a tooth brush into it, shake the excessive alcohol off leaving the brush damp(don't use to much alcohol, it should not be dripping).  Careful!!! The Pins are Very Fragile! Gently brush the connector pins, long ways, left to right in a few second bursts, inspecting the pins as you go...   If you have an eye loop or magnifying glass you can see inside the connector easily and see if the pins look dirty or bent or broken.  If they are bent you have to VERY GENTLY stand them back up.  If they are bent very far down, chances are you will snap them off trying to straighten them back up.  If they are not severely bent over, use a very small flat head precision screw driver to bend the pin back parallel with the good pins.  Pease note: certain pins are used by the wire for different things such as sync or charging... If your pins are broken off, do a search and find out what the individual pins on the ipod 30 pin connector do to see what is affected.  Worst case is your pins are broken off.  U can attempt to solder the broken pins back on without opening the ipod touch, which is super difficult to do, or you can open the touch and repair/replace to 30 pin connector entirely.  U will need to do some micro soldering to say to least! Don't attempt unless you are confident in your soldering skills and research how to open an ipod touch? You will need some specific tools and watch out for floating LINT!  Get some canned air ;) use a small 1/2 second bursts from 4-6" away because it will steam up you touch if used for to long. Good luck!

  • Good afternoon. I have a problem. During the upgrade Iphone 4 c IOS 4.3.5 to 5.0.1, I pulled the cord. Now I can not restore the Iphone. Just lost imei, Wi-Fi, and phone became unusable. What should I do?

    Good afternoon. I have a problem. During the upgrade Iphone 4 c IOS 4.3.5 to 5.0.1, I pulled the cord. Now I can not restore theIphone. Just lost imei, Wi-Fi, and phone became unusable. What should I do?

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • Clean install of Leopard on a G5 tower what should "not" be plugged in?

    What should "not" be plugged into my G5 tower when installing Leopard or is that not an issue to be concerned about. I have several USB and Firewire devices hooked up to my computer.
    Thank you Ron

    Terence, this IS the BEST suggestion I've HAVE EVER found around HERE and I even DO THIS with EVERY Mac OS X Update.
    Ron, I've Installed/Reinstalled Leopard countless times on both my PPC and Mac Pro so I know that Installing Leopard can turn into a NIGHTMARE. Contact me if you need more information.

    Good morning: forget the answers to the security questions, what should I do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device.

    I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. Whenever I try to use it, it always says "All Devices Offline." This is regardless of whether I am in a good Wi-Fi zone or not.  I like to use Find My iPhone to remotely track my battery charging status whenever my phone is charging in a different room. That's been really handy, which is why I really need to get this fixed. No matter what computer I use, the problem is always the same.
    My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device, especially considering the bad things I've heard about iOS 8.
    Feedback would be welcome ASAP.

    You don't need to update to iOS 8 to use Find My iPhone.  If you haven't already tried, go to Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone and turn it off, then reset your phone (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  After it restarts, turn Find My iPhone back on and see if it works properly now.

  • What should I do? Has other people's Support been this bad?

    My name is Mile Marjanovich and I am an unhappy Verizon Wireless customer.
    I have been a customer since October 2004 and finally after 7 years I think it's time to call it quits with this company. Their network may have been one of the most reliable in the past compared to the competition but in the end it was the customer service and the literal lies that their employees have told me which made me call it quits.
    And here's how it ended keep in mind none of the details have been exaggerated nor embellished this is the actual situation and times in which this has transpired.
    On September 7th 2011 at 2130 me and the wife bought 2 Motorola Droid Bionics using our last "New Every Two" sale, we purchased 2 Bionics, 1 Lapdock, 1 Car Dock, 1 Bluetooth Earpiece, 1 Car charger, roughly totalling $1200 in purchases, with our rep telling us there would be $100 rebate for the lapdock and that our existing Droid 1 & Droid 2 could be turned in for even more credit to offset the cost. Expecting these phones to live up to the standards of quality that motorola had given us with both the Droid 1 (2 purchased December 2009) and the Droid 2 (1 purchased in June 2010) we were excited. We were not new to the Android family nor to Motorola products before purchasing these so it's not a first time bad experience situation.
    On September 12th 2011 at 1200 the phones arrived, to start with they wouldn't activate, through 2 calls of technical support and excuses along the longs of "its such a popular phone right now our activation servers are busy so just keep trying" we finally got them activated in about an hour and a half later.
    On September 15th (our billing cycle date) we noticed that the $100 credit for the lapdock had still not been applied nor had we received a $100 Verizon gift card yet.
    On September 22nd I called Verizon opting to finally use the 14 day no worries hassle free guarantee and return the phones which in the first 9 days experienced, 3g/4g service interupts, applications uninstalling themselves, missed calls, dropped calls, extraordinarily short bettery lifes (under 4 hours with little to moderate usage). We I talked to Verizon they informed me that it was past the 14 day mark and we could not exchange, as it started from the time we ordered the phones not the time we received the phones. So the 5 days it took to get the phones was part of our "Testing time".
    In late September 2011, I had finally received the boxes and prepaid shipping labels to send the Droid 1 & Droid 2 into Verizon for the credit program and sent them the phones.
    In October 15th, 2011 (Billing cycle date) we had still not received and credit for the lapdock, the droid 1 or the droid 2, and our phones were replaced the first time after my wife's Bionic developped a strange clicking noise in the speakers anytime any audio was played and my Bionic had began to drop calls regularlly.
    In late October 2011, the first Bionic that arrived to replace the wife's was faulty, the Power Switch wouldn't depress and you couldn't turn the phone on.
    A couple days later in October 2011 another bionic arrived and besides the 3g/4g data issues at least turned on.
    Throughout November 2011 our phones were replaced for the following reasons, 1 the external speaker didn't work, 1 the sim card slot didn't work, 1 had a charge that lasted only 22 minutes from full to shutdown, 1 constantly crashed no matter which google app you tried to use, 1 the gps didn't work, 1 the Wifi/Bluetooth/LTE services didn't work, 1 arrived with a metal sliver sticking outta the bezel in the upper left hand corner of the phone which actually cut my finger open when I went to turn the unit on once, 1 only had 3g functuality and the Verizon rep said that the database on their end showed it as a "Unknown Device" and thus he couldn't fix it. During all of these repairs, returns, etc each "Factory Certified Like New Device" showed up with glitches, errors and other non-working features and with an average of 60 minutes a call to tech support each day for Activation issues and troubleshooting, Verizon kept telling me that when Motorola would release "The Patch" it would all fix itself.
    November 15th (Billing Cycle) still no rebate/credit for lapdock, or traded in phones, after a couple calls and them "Researching the problems" they figured out that the $100 lapdock rebate was only from September 8th-October 15th, and although the Verizon website on the 7th of September showed the deal and the Verizon rep that sold me the phones told me about the offer I was not elligible since I ordered the phones 2 1/2 hours early. Through a pile of additional calls they finally said sorry and credited me $100 for the lapdock. So issue #1 of 5 had been solved (3 rebates, 2 broke phone) 20% progress.
    December 15th, 2011 - Received a $70 credit on my account (Droid 1?)
    Continuing into December of 2011, we continued to replace phones and battle customer service, even went to far as to actually post a review of the phone on Verizon's websites with the issues we've had and awarded the phone a single star (The review was deleted) as well as an additional 2 bad reviews (always deleted after being posted to their website) and then one day things changed...
    On December 16th around 1800, I spoke with Mark (Technical Support Supervisor) for Verizon and he made me and my wife and offer, he looked at the notes and the logs and the troubles we had been having with the phones and offered to replace the device with a comparable model. My only request was ANYTHING but another Motorola phone. He offered the HTC Rezound and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I told Mark, since I have only ever had Motorola Droid Products I don't know which one of those were better and asked him, what HE would get as he was going to know Verizon's product line better than myself. He said the Nexus, he hadn't received any calls on it, it was a new phone, great reviews, etc. I agreed to the offer, he told me that since it was going to be a warranty replacement the phones would be certified like new and that the most difficult part in getting used phones is usually locating the batteries and the battery backs. After another 10 minutes or so of him looking things up he told me the phones had been ordered and we would be receiving 3 boxes from fedex, 2 boxes would each contain one Nexus and one box would have the batteries and the backs. I asked Mark how to ship the phones and what should I do with the incompatible accessories (1 Bionic Lapdock & 1 Bionic Car Dock) seeing as verizon does not accept accessories for trade in credit. He advised me to sell the parts on Ebay or Craigslist or something to buy the new parts for the Nexus.
    On December 17th (Saturday) I managed to sell the parts for enough to get the Nexus Dock.
    On December 19th (Monday) I received 4 packages from Fedex, 3 Bionics, and one box containing 2 Samsung Galaxy Nexus Batteries, and 2 Samsung Galaxy Nexus Battery Backdoors. I called Verizon to figure out where the Nexus's are and why I had a 3rd bonus bionic here and was informed that Mark never actually ordered it and they were confused as to why he would offer it when there is no used inventory. The double checked the notes on their system and verified he did actually offer it and Alice (an amazing CS rep) said that she would check inventory every tuesday and thursday and send me a text message with the inventory status (and to this day she still does, like she promised).
    On December 20th (Tuesday) Mark called me to appologize and say he cannot order the phone as there is no inventory and sorry for making the offer. He said he was shipping me 2 Motorola Droid Razr's that would be here on Wednesday, and that these were great phones, no issues, never have to be replaced, etc. After I got off the phone with him I immediatly called Customer Service back and tried to figure out how my one request had been ignored again and why they couldn't fufill the offer. Michelle (another very nice rep) said sorry, she doesn't know why he offered and then retracted but told me to "Just give the Motorola Razr's a chance" there great phones and seriously no issues.
    On December 21st (Wednesday) 1400, I received 2 Motorola Droid Razr's, as my wife was working I didn't want to try and activate her's while she was at work and mess with her service I went through the invoices and grabbed the one attached to my line and tried to activate it. The Razr sent to me had a couple issues, #1 It kept getting a "Sim Card Authorization Error, please contact customer service" #2 Wifi wouldn't work #3 LTE service wouldn't work #4 the phone would randomly restart itself every couple of hours, #5 it fluctuated between no service for literally hours at a time to "Unknown Carrier" messages. I made 6 calls over the 24 hours I had the phone and the issues were still not resolved, and remember this was "The phone with no issues, trust us, you'll love it, just give it a chance". My wife's line on the other hand after 30 minutes of customer service and resetting the IMEI in the database and the reinputting the SIM card on verizon's end they finally got her's working and what do ya know it's great... Mine on the other hand was still not functional.
    On December 22nd (Thursday) I contacted the West Region Executive Management team, and technical support explained 3 months of history, issues, number of replacements etc, and my rep said they were sending out a HTC Rezound, finally listening to my "Anything but a Motorola" request and that I would receive it on Friday (Dec 23rd)
    On December 23rd (Friday) I spoke with Liz, West Region Executive Management Team representative, who after looking at my account for last couple months, looked into the HTC Rezound I was going to receive later today and said good news, it looks like it was a unit returned after just one day, so it wasnt a defective unit or anything, should be great... feeling reassured that Verizon had finally sent me a good working unit I waited. At 1800 hours I received my fedex shipment and opened the box to find... a Motorola Razr, I have had the Razr now for 3 hours and 7 minutes... it will not activate, it keeps failing, it has been reset twice, i have swapped SIM cards, still not activating...
    ... at least my wife is working... too bad for me apparently 12 Motorola Droid Bionics, and 3 Motorola Droid Razr's are just the beginning of this game...

    Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
    First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
    Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
    Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
    I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
    Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

  • What should I do with my iPhone?

    I’m Vietnamese. My father bought me an iPhone 5s in Hong Kong on 5th, November, 2013. However, on 5th, May, 2014, my iPhone went from working perfectly fine to "searching..." for a signal despite being in an area with good coverage. I tried to turn turn on airplane mode then turn off again, switching off iPhone and switching on again, and also Reset Network Settings. However, those are can't fix my iPhone. I removed the SIM Card and put in another iPhone, I worked perfectly. I connected iPhone with iTunes to update 7.1.1 but it did not success. Finally, I decided (after creating a full backup) to put the phone into recover mode and try to restore it that way. Not only, did I get an “unknown error (1)", I attempted that many times and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I have sent it back Hong Kong to repair because I’m still under warranty (I asked my father’s friend help me to send, because of my studying so I could not directly come the store). From that day until today (25th, June, 2014), he called them many times, but they always said:” We will check and if impossible to repair, we will switch it for a new one”. And today, when he calls them again, they said that my iPhone cannot be replaced a new one because it has been opened????????? I am totally sure that my iPhone hadn’t been opened yet.
    I had 2 questions: the first is why didn’t they check my iPhone immediately after receiving it from my father’s friends?; and the second is that after we send my iPhone for service, I will receive a replacement or your repaired iPhone in three to five business days; but in fact, they reported it to us after nearly two months??? Who can ensure that they did not open my iPhone?
    What should I do?

    First you aren't talking to Apple here. This is just a user forum hosted by Apple. We are all just users here.
    Suggestion: Backup and then Restore your iPhone as new using iTunes on your computer.
    Test battery usage to see if it is normal. If not, contact Apple support; you may have a hardware problem.
    If battery usage is normal then restore your iPhone from the backup and continue to monitor battery usage.

  • Please help - Brand new X1 Carbon defective out of the box - is this normal? what should I do next?

    Hello all,
    So, as a loyal Lenovo customer I decided to purchase the X1 Carbon 2nd Gen (non-touch, I5 version).
    Last week I finally received it.
    Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was a defective touchpad - very loose, the right bottom corner was not solid
    enough and made a weird noise while clicking it. It drove me crazy since I am used to the top build quality the Thinkpad series offers.
    I took to the local Lenovo service center, they actually replaced it on the spot and it made it better, not great but better. I still think there is something wrong there, since the bottom two "buttons" don't feet and sound as good as the upper ones.
    But that I can tolarate.
    The thing that really pissed me off was this: To me demise, after using the laptop in a dark room I noticed this massive screen bleed :
    (apologize for the ling stream of pics, didn't know how to thumbnail them)
    My question to you guys, is this okay? is this an acceptable bleed? or should I do whatever it takes to get it repaired/replaced?
    I just hope they will know how to handle this here at local center, as from my experience dealing with computer reps here, the local Lenovo agent (which is actually the importer)  will not replace it for me (their excuse is that it wasn't bought in this country)
    This is amazing, in one year Lenovo has lost it's entire reputation over the 2nd Gen X1 carbon.
    Please help me. what should I do?
    Thank you very much.

    The official method of creating / escalating to a complaint is to call support, with previous call numbers handy, and request the representative to escalate your case to a complaint.  They will then create a complaint on your behalf and also be able to inform you about the complaints proceedure.

    contacted a vendor about an app and they have not returned my email. I want to cancel the purchase.  What should I do?

    You probably cannot get a refund, since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    It's possible they'll make an exception for you, particularly if the app is defective in some way. If you just don't like or no longer need the app, a refund is unlikely.
    Good luck.

    I gave my ipad 2 to my brother last month. After that he erased all content and settings, sign in with his apple id. The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. I had create new apple id, change my password, delete the icloud acc.

    1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
    2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
    Is your iPad working?

  • PO issue :What should we do to close the PO or change item quantity?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to MM.I got an issue saying that there is some mismatch with quantity in the particular PO. User wants to cancel/close the PO system but it is not allowing to do so. To change the quantity is also  good, but while trying to change item quantity system is giving the following error message.
    Quantity 1000 is smaller than quantity issued 2000.
    To close the PO or change item quantity what should I need to do?
    A help will be highly appreciated
    Regards,
    sharon.

    Hi,
    It is of the standard functionality of SAP to verify the GR and IR against PO quantity when you try to close your related PO line item.  It ensures data consistency for your PO and PO history.  What you should do is very much subject to the status of your PO history (i.e. how many you have already GRed and/or IRed).  Check it again in your PO history tab of the PO item details level prior to making any further action on how your PO line item quantity shall be adjusted.  A particular example is if GR was done for the quantity of 2,000, you can't simply adjust your PO quantity into 1,000 as it goes against the logic whereby the GR quantity (and/or IR quantity) must be no larger than PO quantity.
    Cheers,
    HT

  • HT5100 Itunes u just opens and closes immediately when I try to use it. It worked previously, and now it doesn't.  I tried uninstalling it and then installing it again and it still closes as soon as I open it. Other apps do not do this. What should I do?

    iTunes u closes as soon as I open it. What should I do?

    I would start with this FAQ Entry first, if you have not done so yet: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
    It starts with a checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then moves into tuning up one's system and OS (you have done a lot of that already), and then goes into troubleshooting tips. Note: those tips rather work up quickly in "degree of difficulty," and DO become quite technical, but things like the "Finding Clues" link will give some tools, that might prove useful, like the use of Windows' Event Viewer to track down issues.
    One of the first things to look at would be your video driver. I would go to the video card's/chip's mfgr's. Web site, and check for a later driver. Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. If there is not a newer video driver, or it will not install properly on your system, be sure to check with the HP Web site, as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and some other mfgrs. will re-package video drivers to suit their specific setup.
    One troubleshooting technique, that might prove useful (however, those deleted programs bother me a bit here), would be to create a System Restore Point for now (see Windows Help for doing this with your particular OS version). Then, boot to Safe Mode, and choose an older System Restore Point, from when things did work. This might take some trial-and-error, to get back far enough. Test. At the worst, you will only have lost a few minutes, as you have your new System Restore Point for now, to fall back on.
    Good luck,

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
