I own an Imac G5.  It is running very slow.  Did hardware test and got an error code 2STF/8/3:S-ATABUSO-Master.  What is my next step?
Also how do i run disk first aid on the computer off of the install disks?  Which disk do i do it from.  Thanks in advance. Stuart

Sounds like your hard drive it about to die.
I would backup ASAP.
To run First Aid on your disk, you need to boot from the install DVD for your Mac.
After selecting the language, open Disk Utiltity and repair the disk.
If it reports errors that DU is unable to repair, report them here and we will provide additional help.

  • Ran Hardware test on 17" 10.5.6 Error Code 2STF/3/3:ATA-100ata-6-master came up @ mass storage run area.

    Have a Powerbook G4 17" 1.57GHz BRV 4.8.4f1 Mem.1 GB HDr. ATA:3,ID:0, Ran HARDWARE Test 2.2 hit Mass Storage test area when Error Code 2STF/3/3:ATA-100ata-6-Master stopped test. Shut comp down by holding pwr button for 5 secs. Waited 20 minutes and restarted w/option button and ran test again hit Mass Storage and Error Code 2STF/8/ rest is same as previous error code. Something about Node pop up after running disk utility a few days ago. Comp is was running  very slow. Only change besides updates was Macdefender. Do I need to take it to be repaired at an Apple place? Thank you.

    First, you need to remove macdefender, which is a scam program. Apple note http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650 provides these instructions:
    Removal steps
    Move or close the Scan Window.
    Go to the Utilities folder in the Applications folder and launch Activity Monitor.
    Choose All Processes from the pop up menu in the upper right corner of the window.
    Under the Process Name column, look for the name of the app and click to select it; common app names include: MacDefender, MacSecurity or MacProtector.
    Click the Quit Process button in the upper left corner of the window and select Quit.
    Quit Activity Monitor application.
    Open the Applications folder.
    Locate the app ex. MacDefender, MacSecurity, MacProtector or other name.
    Drag to Trash, and empty Trash.
    Malware also installs a login item in your account in System Preferences. Removal of the login item is not necessary, but you can remove it by following the steps below.
    Open System Preferences, select Accounts, then Login Items
    Select the name of the app you removed in the steps above ex. MacDefender, MacSecurity, MacProtector
    Click the minus button
    Now, after you do that, reboot your system. Bring up disk utillity and verify the disk. Preferred would be to boot from OS X on DVD or a Firewire backup, run Disk Utility and Repair Disk, but verify disk when Disk Utility is loaded from the hard drive should work. Write down any messages, like bad node or whatever.
    If you get a message that the program exits with a failure, then there is a disk error that Disk Utility won't be able to fix. That could mean buying Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro to fix the error. Disk Warrior tends to be the disk fix program of choice. Depending on the error, it's possible that Disk Utility won't be able to fix the problem, in which case the fix is usually a new hard drive. Note, a new hard drive will be cheaper than Disk Warrior (at $95 or so).
    Smart Utility from http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php will give you good insight into the condition of your hard drive, as it reports on your SMART sensors.

  • I run a hardware test and it gave me the error code 4mot/4/40000003:HDD-1500: does anyone know what it means?

    Hello,
    I have a problem of my iMac freezing up regularly for no obvious reason.
    So I ran a hardware test and it returns me only with the code  4MOT/4/40000003:HDD-1500.
    I need some help to know what that means and how to repair my iMac.
    William

    William, unfortunately it means your hard disk drive has or is failing and needs to be replaced. Hopefully you have a current backup or clone. You can have the drive replaced at an Apple Store or AASP or do it yourself if you're inclined by following the guide fir your specific iMac at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Desktop

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

    I recently upgraded to Lion and I had Adobe InDesign which is no longer supported. Problem is, I have several files I need but cannot open because it was PowerPC based. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

    Assuming you registered your older version, you can retrieve the serial number by going to Adobe's site and go into your account. On this page, click the My products link in the right hand column of the first three. You'll be asked to enter your user account name and password. Once in, a list of all software you've purchased will be shown, along with their serial numbers.
    That said, it really won't help you much. A PowerPC only version of InDesign means it's no newer than the original CS version, and won't be worth a cent towards an upgrade discount. To get CS6, you'd have to pay full price again.

  • IMac (late 2009) CPU runs very slow (about half speed)

    After having had troubles with performance I 've recently discovered, that Geekbench as well as Xbench return results way too low for my machine. In fact it appears results are exactly half the speed one would expect. In Xbench CPU power is about a score of 110 where I had 220 with 10.6 for example.
    Now I had done an SSD update a couple of month back and this speed gain probably masked the CPU problem. I might even have damaged the small monitor synch cable during the procedure but all hardware tests (TechTool Pro 6 for example)  show no problems. 
    I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC but to no avail. Also booting into SAVE Mode did not change the behavior. Here is my etre check profile:

    Somebody posted a very similar problem, resetting SMC helped there. Running Bench I can see normal degradation when running other tasks (i.e. from 110 CPU which is max of what I can get at the moment to 80-90 when running other apps) So it really seems to be some preset which keeps the CPU from running both cores or such.

    I would try a Safe Boot  OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support be paitient it takes longer. When its booted up you can just restart normally.
    Forcing shutdowns can cause disk corruption. Even though EtreCheck doesn't report any disk errors I would run Disk Utility from your recovery partition (Command-R restart) and repair the startup disk and repair permissions.
    I also recommend removing the BlackBerry software, it's been known to cause problems.

  • IMac using Lacerte but running very slow

    Hey, so I am running my iMac10,1 with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor running about 3.06 GHz with a 4GB memory. I have both Parallels and VMware Fusion 3 installed to access a program that is only Windows-based called Lacerte in order to do taxes. But, when running this program, I need both tax years open in order to go back and forth. That's where the problem comes in. When opening both years, the machine runs INCREDIBLY slow and takes a couple minutes to perform each action. I was wondering if there were any suggestions on how I could run this program faster so I could start using my Mac permentently for the tax season. Thank you!

    Well, you might wanna open up the Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder and check and see if something is sucking up all your preformance.
    If you haven't already done it, you should also repair disk premissions and verify disk from the Disk Utility.
    You can also run a clean-up app like Maintenance
    (free at http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/maintenance.html )
    This will also repair the disk premissions for you.
    Good luck

  • Can I run hardware test and repair a disk with Leopard using 10.3 DVD

    Hi,
    I'm trying to decide whether to partition and clone Leopard to my external or partition and install Tiger on the external.
    My iMac came with 10.3.6 install and hardware test DVD's and they (Comp USA) gave me a Tiger drop-in DVD. I upgraded to Leopard through a family pack DVD (when I told my friend I would by one of the install's I thought I would get a DVD, but you only get an install license, oh well). By the way, Leopard runs great in my rev A iMac G5.
    I'm trying to figure out which os to use on the external as a safe-boot incase something happens. If I clone Leopard onto a partition for backup/boot, can I still use the Disc Repair (not permissions) and Hardware Test from the 10.3 or Tiger DVD's to maintain that permission should something bad happen? The way I see it, i'll be able to repair permissions on both the main and external drives using Leopard's disc utility, but I'm not sure if I can repair a Leopard disk or do Hardware Test on that disc using an earlier version of OSX install/Hardware Test DVD's.
    Will earlier versions of OSX repair a Leopard disk and be able run Hardware Test?
    Thanks for the help,
    LowBb

    Yes, that seems to be the case, but I didn't do good enough research when he asked if I wanted a license for Leopard. For some reason, I had it in my mind that a Family pack came with multi DVD's for people. Maybe that's why he sold me a license so cheap. I thought I was getting a bargin, you get what you pay for.
    So, I have the hardware test DVD's that came with the iMac and the Tiger drop-in is just an upgrade with no Hardware Test, you are correct.
    But: (let me make sure I have this right) I should not use the 10.3 DVD's or the Tiger drop-in to repair a disc (not permissions) on a hard drive running Leopard. Is this what you are saying? I kind of thought this would be the case. If it is, I'm going to install MY stuff that I have the DVD's for on the external as an emergency boot disc.

  • My iMac's internet is running very slow.

    I have an iMac model identifier 9.1, with Mac OS X v10.5.8 and safari version 5.0.6. All programs are running normally (fast) except safari. When I try to load webpages it takes about 11 seconds to fully load. All other computers in my house are connected to the same internet and running fine. What do I do to make the loading faster?

    You could try this:
    go up to your computers menu bar while safari is open and select "Safari" from the drop down menu.
    then go to Empty Cache and select it.  that should help some.
    you could also download an Ad Blocker to help pages load faster. I personally use this one:Safari AdBlock
    and it works well.

  • OS X 10.5.8 Running VERY slow since installing Safari and itunes updates.

    Installed latest Safari and itunes updates today. When my OS restarted the install took a really long time and since then the computer is so slow its un-usable. Its a Macbook Pro, 2.6 intel dual thingy (the model just before the uni-bodies came out).
    I have down the PRAM reset and tried launching in safe mode. Neither or these made any difference.
    I then started with an install disk installed and while holding down C. Again, it took a long time to boot, but once in that mode I launch the various utilities etc. So I opened disk utility and verify and repair disk...but it found no problems.
    Perhaps I should have repaired disk permissions?
    Also I thought this might be a lose ram issue or something. I don't have a screw driver to open up RAM slot and re-seat it, but also in 'about this mac' it can see the ram...?
    I am very frustrated right now! What have i done to my computer?!
    It was running 100% fine until I did this software update.
    ...and when I say it is running slow, to give an example clicking Apple/N in finder takes maybe 5 for that window to appear followed by another few minutes of the whirling wheel of death. Then I can click on the next item (apps for instance) and go through a similar wait.
    argh!

    No very clear idea of why it is behaving like that Samuel, but in 95% of cases it is some third party add-on, not yet updated for Safari 5, that is the cause.
    Please peruse the following, particularly with respect to Open DNS settings:
    Some general advice on updating:
    It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
    The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
    More information on using Software Updater here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
    Additional tips on software installation here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

  • Edge Animate CC 2014 running very slow / sluggish on tutorials and personal projects.

    Hi there, I've been trying to get Edge Animate up to speed with the other adobe products I use with no problems (Muse, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects). I've followed the proxy settings suggestion mentioned in previous posts (my computer isn't on a proxy), as well as setting my color management options to default, and trying a wide range of others to see if the problem would go away (per another response I saw).
    I even upgraded from Windows 7 to 8.1, just to see if that'd fix the issue, to no avail.
    I first noticed it with this tutorial:
    Banner design tutorial | How to make a web banner with Edge Animate CC
    After importing the assets into EA, I go to add text and the text entry field records my input at about 1 character per second. It also happens with my own personal projects quite often.
    I've got an AMD FX 6100 Six-Core Processor
                   8GB of RAM
                   ATI Radeon 6900
                   and Windows 8.1 Pro
    I'd be willing to try anything, and any help is appreciated!

    OK - Possibly Good News... I talked to Adobe Tech Support. I am able to download a previous version of the Edge Animate CC by choosing PREVIOUS VERSION under the FIND NEW APPS section of the Creative Cloud Desktop app. This is a new feature of CC. Thankfully. I can install CC and then do as hemanth kumar r suggested and edit the _edge.js file to allow 3.0 to open the file.
    Thanks for all of the help. Sorry for the frustration in MY TYPING . I'll reply if that all works.

  • I have a desktop iMac that has been running very slowly lately.  I turned off the computer yesterday to initiate a restart and when it came on, the screen was all white and has stayed that way.  Please help!

    I have a desktop iMac that has been running very slow lately.  I turned off the power yesterday, thinking a restart may help.  When I turned the power back on, the screen turned white and stayed white.  Any ideas???

  • Flash player games runs very slow on Windows XP SP3

    Hi to all.
    I have problems with flash games and some advanced flash applications.
    Problems occurs regardless of browser.
    My computer is next:
    CPU: 2.8GHz hyper thread
    RAM: 1.5 GB (3 pieces)
    GPU: Nvidia 7600 GS Gigabyte.
    When it runs some flash game e.g. Facebook Pet Society, CPU load goes high as 80 to 100 %. It is very annoying thing since I am starting to loose my mind how to solve this.
    All other applications are running very good. This means games, 720p HD videos etc etc.
    It is not virus problem, since I have installed new fresh system.
    Thanks in advance.
    I need your help with this very very much.

    Please, move this topic to flash player subforum. I have placed it here by mistake.

  • Time Machine Running VERY SLOW

    I am using a 2 TB G-Drive for Time Machine.
    I've been getting "disk full" messages for some time and the drive is is currently showing 47 GB free.
    Today (at least that's the first I noticed it,) Time Machine is running VERY SLOW.
    Looking at the drive the light with flash bright about once every 3 or 4 seconds.
    Looking at the Time Machine status, it has been trying to backup 30 GB for several hours and has only backed up less than 10 GB.
    My question is could this be caused by the drive being full or could it be the drive is about to go out.
    In either case, if I get a new (larger) drive, will I be able to retrieve older files from this drive if necessary?
    Thanks in advance.
    Chuck

    I finally re-booted at about 4:20 PM which seemed to clear up the issue, so this may be moot.
