Getting rid of my power hungry pc tower

Hi there
i was wondering how the macbook pro 17" would compare to my trusty 3 year old desktop pc
(abit ic-7g, single core p4ht 3ghz, 2gb ram, radeon 9800 pro 128, iiyama 22" ma203dt crt)
one selling point for me is the maximum power consumption figures
82 watts for the macbook pro
450 watts (Max) for the pc
140 watts for the crt monitor
my first real question is graphics related, will i get the same, better, or worse performance out of the Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB compared to the radeon 9800 pro 128 pci. the only game i play is world of warcraft so if it runs this game as good or better that would be great to know.
second is heat related, i use my pc to watch dvb tv brodcasts and was thinking about getting the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid (DTT +Analog TV) with analog input , would i be better getting something else, something that takes more strain of the cpu to keep things cool for extended periods, four hours plus.
will leaving a macbook pro on for 4 or 5 hours a day send it to an early grave?
finaly, things have moved on since i made my pc, how much though, is it worth throwing my huge power hungry pc monstrocity out yet or, should i wait a few months and see what apple have up their sleeve
ibook G4 1.42 Mac OS X (10.4.7) abit ic-7g, p4ht 3ghz, 2gb ram, radeon 9800 pro 128, iiyama 22" ma203dt crt

Well i went ahead and got a new mbp and it does indeed outperform my clunky old desktop pc, it doesn't sound like a jet fighter taking off though, which is a bonus i guess ^^
i can run wow at 1680 x 1050 with every setting turned up to max, on my pc i was running the game at 1280 x 1024 with one or two settings turned down a tad.
as for the underclocked videocard, i found this somewhere on the net
http://barefeats.com/mbcd2.html
"...Though the CPU clock speed advantage of the 2.16GHz MacBook Pro is only 8%, it outperformed the 2.0GHz MacBook Pro by as much as 43%, depending on the application... we rechecked the 17" MacBook Pro's X1600 GPU's core and memory speeds before, during and after running 3D Games using Graphiccelerator's "Show ATI Frequencies" function. Before starting a series of runs, the core measured 311MHz frequency. When we ran 3D games, it jumped to 423MHz. After sitting idle a few minutes, it fell back to 311MHz. We measured a similar jump in the GPU's memory clock from 297MHz to 450MHz."
all i need to do now is find a good decent dvb device and im good to go i guess

Power manager doesn't display - so I can't get rid of the power change beep...

Hi everybody,
I just got the X200 laptop, like it very much except for the annoyingly loud beep when the system goes into stand-by. Looking trough this forum I tried many things, like changing the sound settings in regedit to 'no' and disabling the 'beep' plugin in the system settings. No luck so far. An other solution (that sounds useful) is disabling the 'beep on power changes' option in the Power Manager. But...when I open the Power Manager, it displays the welcome/info screen and then disappears! How can I get into the Power Manager??
Hope someone can help...
Cheers,
Hanneke

That's a strange one. Run Thinkvantage System Update, or just download and install most recent PM driver and software. Maybe refreshing these will give you PM back. Otherwise, I believe you may also have a setting in the BIOS for the beep. Not in front of my X100 now, but I know I have this setting on my X60s.

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Where can I get rid of an old Power Mac G3 Beige?

Where is the best place to get rid of an old Power Mac G3 Beige? Are there sites out there where Mac enthusiasts would buy it or its part? It has no hard drive. Also have the Multiple Scan 720 Display Monitor.

Glen.. I'm looking for some 256 sticks of RAM - PC-66 or 100 will do.. and if you want to move that CPU card - is it a Sonnet ZIF?
I have a Yosemite blue and white G3 that's living here while it's owner gets his living situation sorted out.. it was in rough shape as it sat in a few inches of water and is a bit corroded but not so much it's dead.
I'm cobbling it into a bit more stable, modern state for him so his 11 year old daughter can use it with her iPod. So far I have an 80GB hard drive and a Lite-on CD burner installed. I don't have much in the way of $$ right now, but can pay postage, if you want to part bits out. I can mail you a G3/266 processor to swap it out if you still want to have a working machine to part with.
I was going to use the bits from my beige for the Yosemite, but the Quicksilver that landed on my door turned out to be a boat anchor, so I bit the bullet and swapped out a power supply and got the G3 working again as a music server.
Am still on the hunt for freebie, useable parts..

Can't get rid of power point dialog box even though checked "don't ask again".

Using a Mac. Opening a link to Power Point slides -- get message--"You have chosen to open etc. I have checked the box that says "do this automatically for files like this from now on" -- but it never does. I still have to click OK.
How can I get rid of this dialog box. I've checked in settings and preferences to open with Microsoft Power Point.
thanks

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Vertical lines appear in every photo taken w my 3 yr old Power Shot A470.Can't get rid of them.Help?

in the midst of photo shoot yesterday, this vertical line pattern appeared in every photo and can't get rid of it. Triple checked all my settings, nothing's changed about how I take my photos.
Through the viewfinder when I prefocus I see the result of what my photo should look like after the shot, but after I take it, the shot is 50% lighter, with a horrible pattern of lines. Has my camera totally died? Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I cannot take photos anymore with this all time favorite camera of mine

First try a complete reset if possible, I can't see it being the memory card but if you have a spare one try that.
One cause could be the sensor or the display itself, I've had faulty ribbon cables going to the display on TV sets causing similar problems.
I take it they are in the same place on every shot. What does a good photo show up like, i.e., one prior to this fault showing? This would point to the sensor or display, since the photo was taken previous to the fault it 'would' eliminate the sensor as this is only used when taking photos and not when 'viewing'.
Pity you couldn't post a sample as it *may* help.

Getting rid of TM

Hello all,
I do a manual back up every week using SuperDuper!
When I switched to Leopard, I found out that my internal HD has quite much less free space than it would normally have, had I not tried Leopard first on my external to see whether I liked it or not (BTW, I do not like it as much as I like OS X Tiger, but problems with a new internal HD forced me to switch.)
With Leopard installed on the internal, TM started to gobble up disk space on my external HD, so I stopped its function.
I actually do not need TM and want to get rid of whatever it has backed up but, I'm not allowed to do so; I get an alert saying that backed up files are protected and cannot be deleted.
Is there a way to permanently get rid of them?
Thank you all, regards.

Are you sure the extra space taken up on your internal HD is really stuff that's needed? If not, see [Where did my Disk Space go?|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DiskSpace.html]
Hi Pondini,
It seems to me after having taken a look at the web pages you indicate (#E6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, and the ones referenced therein) there is no back up: this is what the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget said booting from the internal HD:
+Starting standard backup+
+Backing up to: /Backups.backupdb+
+Nothing to backup.+
+Backup failed with error: 25+
And this is what I get when booting from the external HD:
+No Time Machine information found+
I believe both results are right since I had stopped using TM. So, the logical conclusion is: it is OSX 10.5.8 what gobbles so much HD space, even without getting any help from TM.
The only reason why I switched to Leopard is, back at the end of last year I had to take my iMac for repair at Tekserve —a very reliable Mac specialist and retailer in New York City— because things started to go wrong ([here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2765667&tstart=0]; and prior to that, [this one|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2585452&tstart=0].)
I was told the HD had to be replaced but, problems persisted even after replacing it, so I had to take it back to Tekserve.
The HD was replaced once more and most of the problems disappeared but not all, such as beach ball whenever opening an application, or a big folder, and even right at booting without the finder open yet.
I went back to Tekserve and discussed the situation with one of their technicians, a very helpful guy who asked me why didn't I switch to Leopard since it was much more stable. I told him that the main reason was, I would have to spend thousands of dollars replacing all applications that are not universal. He told me that I didn't have to do it with Leopard, that it was required only with Snow Leopard. And he gave me a Leopard install DVD to try the system.
I did try Leopard on the external HD during a full month and only on the external HD, so that if I didn't like it I could still revert to Tiger by cloning back the internal.
To tell the truth, I did not like everything Leopard has to offer. In the first place, it looks and behaves too much like windows; then, spotlight is not as user friendly as with Tiger's; folders seem to reproduce themselves like rabbits every time one trashes a file contained therein (a new window repeats what the old one has to the dot); dashboard's behavior is not comparable to Tiger's; and some other issues there is no point listing them all here.
Other than these, the computer works well, almost perfectly well except the beach ball which resists disappearing; lots of problems with entourage, but this is something that is dependent on microsoft's applications, not on the computer itself. Got rid of entourage and switched to using Apple's mail instead.
Many folks would say, a single backup, especially a weekly one, is not enough, especially with a Mac that old. All hardware fails, sooner or later, and while it's not common, we do see threads here where an internal HD or other failure has required a full restore but the backup drive failed, and everything was lost.
I want to use my Mac as I use my car: I take it regularly up to the shop for maintenance; keep everything in order checking tire pressure, radiator coolant, battery, etc. I don't want to have either my car or my Mac using me as their serf, doing what they want me to do. In the case of the Mac, all I want is to use it as a sophisticated typewriter, with the additional ability to surf the Internet, find articles, photographs, works of art, music, literature that I need or just want. Then, I store it all on the HD and use them as needed to make my own make my own drawings and pictures, etc. which, in turn, get to be stored on the HD. I regularly backup the internal to an external clone that I can boot from in case of need.
Your best bet is to get a second external HD, move the non-backup data to it, and use the existing one exclusively for Time Machine. Leave it connected, and let Time Machine do it's quick automatic hourly backups of changes to both your internal HD and the other external. That way, if either backup drive fails, you're not out of luck. Plus, if you accidentally change or delete something, or a file suddenly turns up corrupted, you have a much better chance of recovering a previous version.
I already have two external HDs; one more will add to the clutter of cables and power cords, etc. that is already asking for more space that I can't afford.
But if you don't want to to that . . .
Are the backups in the same partition as your other stuff? If they're on a separate partition, you can just erase it with Disk Utility. That will take a few seconds.
The external FW-HD which would have been used for TM, and which I use for my regular backups has only one partition.
If not, it gets more difficult. Your best bet is to copy the other data elsewhere temporarily, erase the disk, then copy it back.
The problem is, I don't know where the data you refer to could be; as I said above, there were no backups. It must then be just the amount of space Leopard takes up.
I am simply a mortal; if I have to become an expert like you and so many others in the forums are in order to be able to use my iMac, I'd better give it up...
If that's not practical, you should be able to delete the Backups.backupdb folder that contains your backups. You may have to do that while logged-on as an Admin user, and enter your Admin password. Be aware, though, that emptying the trash will take a very long time, and there may be problems with locked files, etc. If so, see #E6 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
I am the only user of my iMac and, I believe, am its administrator since every time an admin password is required, the powers that be accept the one I type.
In conclusion, TM is not working; it is Leopard who is the hungry fellow; am I right?
Does this mean I must go to a 1TB minimum internal and external HDs?
Thank you so much for your help; best regards.

Not able to get rid of a Question mark in the Dock

A friend got stuck with a Question Mark in the Dock of his 4 year old iMac that was linked to an app not compatible anymore with his latest 10.8.2 version ( guess it was a Power PC app, before Mountain Lion, he was still on Leopard ). He apparently deleted the app and some dependencies manually ( instead of using App Cleaner & Co. ) and now whenever he is hovering over that Question Mark, even before being even able to pull it out from the Dock, the screen flashes up white and the Finder resets.
Is there a way to access the Dock through an element of his user library to get rid of that Mark, or even through a Terminal command ( not that I like to delve in there, but Terminal commands have helped me personally quite often ) ?
Does the Dock have a dedicated place in the Library's User Folder ? Couldn't find anything on my own Mac.
Thanks for any clue ....

Right clicking on it is not even an option, just hovering over it seems to induce a "nuclear" reset of the whole desktop and graphic card on the iMac.
Have meanwhile found a possible solution by erasing the dock preference file in the user/library/preferences folder to reset the dock to it's default state. Will try this out through a Skype conversation with that Buddy.

How do I get rid of the pop-up ads in Safari, OSX 10.9.3

Hello,
I've just bought a MacBook Air one month ago and it's been working fine till recently when all of a sudden I get redirected to various pages whilst surfing the web. It seems the first page to load on the popped up tabs is Adcash.com. This problem occurs on varoius websites, but not on all of them. For instance I don't have this problem with apple.com and other secure sites. Is this some kind of virus, malware or similar?
Apple support hasn't been able to help me and I've tried to remove cookies, and looked around here for help, to no avail. One thread contained advice to remove certain files on my hard drive but none of those files were present on my disk, so I was back to square one. What can I do to get rid of the pop-ups?
This is my first Mac and I'm not particularly computer litterate so I hope you guys can help me out.
Thanks in advance!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

HT4847 How do I unlock my ipad. It Wants me to back up icloud but can't get rid of message to try

My ipad is showing a message that advises icloud has not been backed up for 2 weeks and the ipad needs to be plugged in and charging to enable back up. However, I can't get rid of the message so that I can turn on wi-fi and start back up. This has happened to me before and I ended up having to pay a one off fee of £25.00 for advice to clear the message that was quick to do. Can't remember how to do it though. Does anyone know how to unfreeze the screen please? I have tried holding the wake up button but that just brings up the swipe to power off screen, which does not react to a swipe. Please help.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. This just restarts it, you won't lose any data by doing this.

I think I may have a virus - how do I get rid of it?

Last night I visited a website while searching for an authentic Chicago Blackhawks jersey (a gift). The site "nhledgeshop.com" came up in the Google search with the description "Patrick Kane Authentic Jersey, Buy Blackhawks Authentic & Premier Patrick Kane Jersey from the ultimate sports store, featuring Authentic, …" When I clicked on it, it took a long time to load. It looked like a legitimate site, but I couldn't find a phone # for it, so when I searched on the site name, I found a lot of complaints about people who ordered stuff and didn't get it, couldn't get through to their customer service, etc. (Needless to say, I didn't buy from them.) When I shut my computer down, it didn't power down like it normally does (the on screen icons disappear, then the apps along the sidebar fly off the edge, and then the computer shuts down). Instead, the entire screen went white and a diagnostic bar came up saying something about an installation and asking if I wanted to abort or exit (I think?). The box was only up for about 1 1/2 seconds before the screen went black and shut down. It caught me off guard, so I missed it the first time. I turned the computer back on and shut it down again, and the same thing happened. This time I caught the box and clicked abort. However, it's still there. Today I powered down at least 4 times and the same thing happened every time. I caught the abort button a couple of times, but that doesn't seem to get rid of whatever it is.
Does anyone know how I could check my computer to see if there's anything bad on it? I searched the internet and found suggestions to install a free antivirus app called ClamXav, but before I install anything I want to hear from the community whether I should do that or if there's something different that I should do. Please let me know, and thank you all in advance for your help.
