Imac 1.8 problem help please?

I have a imac g5 17" 1.8 ghz, i have already had the mainboard replaced (under apple care) I upgraded the ram to 2gigs... my problem is that my processor maxes out doing the simplest things like just surfing the web, it never used to do that could it be my hard drive or anything else.... I have the istat menues thats how i know its maxed.... just recently it stated to shut down randomly.. also when i put the computer to sleep it shuts down.. please help thank you thank you....

Ah! The old Safari bastardry , eh!
Safari can , indeed, be something of a memory hog, especially in its earlier incarnations, and , annoyingly , especially when accessing Apple's own pages! Who would have thunk it!. Some versions suffered from some very nasty memory leaks under Tiger.
What happens if you restart your computer and check activity monitor again?
I'd guess that there isn't much wrong with your Mac's hardware, but you do have some software problems. You might want to try getting rid of any Safari plug-ins that you are using, and also 'resetting" it by using "Reset Safari" in the "Safari" menu, with ticks ONLY next to "Empty the cache" and "remove all website icons".
My bet is that you will find that the amount of CPU it is using will decrease substantially.
Cheers
Rod

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will not pair? I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac. Can someone help please?

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

Hi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again.

IMac to Win7 PC -- Help please!

Hello to all,
I have iTunes 11.0.1.12 (x64) on my iMac and iTunes 11.0.1.12 (x86) on my Win7 PC and i am trying to setup Home Sharing...the problem is that my Mac's iTunes can see the WinPC's Library, both in normal sharing and Home Sharing but the WinPC cant see the Library from my Mac!!
I have tried turing off the Win firewall, Mac firewall and rebooting both PC's but the problem remains the same, anybody help please????

At first,I'd express my pity.
And.Ummm
Unbelivable!
What we have met is exactly opposite!
I can see the Mac's library on Win7,but I can't see the Win7 PC's library on my Mac.
I've down all the things I can do,such as turning off the firewall, rebooting, etc , which made me mad!
I consider that maybe we could have a communication so that we can both solve our problem .

VIRUS PROBLEMS, HELP PLEASE???

I continue to have messages popping up saying my computer is infected. It wants me to cleanup and I have to register with Mac Shield 2.6. Pronograhic websites keep popping up. Anyone having this problem? Did not have this problem yesterday, but it's here today! There is also a Red Sheild on the top of the toolbar where it shows the time, battery life, etc. Right clicking on the sheild drops down Scan Now, Cleanup, Control Center, Scan, System Info, Settings, About, and Register. A pron site just popped up again! Need help Please!!

The Mac Shield malware can come through Firefox too if you allow it to and you click on it!
Your exactly right, it is possible that if you visit a site and need the scripts to run for something that the malware that uses Javascript is on that site, then your going to be presented with it.
The thing is with the Firefox + NoScript combination defeats alot of the web side trickery the malware authors are using to get the malware to appear in the first place.
Also this "MacDefender" isn't the only malware making the rounds. There are some serious Flash vulnerabilities being hosted on hostile/adult websites that are running scripts for no apparent reason other than to try to infect your machine.
By running all scripts all the time, your computer is in a state as if you tried running across a busy highway blindfolded.
As a lifelong "MacHead" I can understand Apple loyalty, but if Apple isn't cutting the mustard on their browser security, rather place their users security at serious risk for the sake of convenience, then I have to think about using and recommending to others something else that is more secure.
As a example, I surf thousands of web pages a day, some on really nasty sites, yet I haven't seen this "MacDefender" appear on my computer. Even when I purposely visited links that people have submitted that had the malware. (I maintain a couple of bootable clones of my boot drive just in case)

ICloud problems help please!

I have an iPhone 6 and during the setup I must have did something wrong and now I have my old iCloud account on it that I no longer remember the password, security questions, and no longer have the email address to that account. I think I was hacked and my password and security questions changed. I want to log out of iCloud and start using my current iCloud account. I know these are security measures, but how can I get logged out??? My iPhone is having problems since the latest update and now I can't make a call or text. I can't call apple support without a working number HELP Please.

Hello shelbyrecords,
Oh no! That sounds really frustrating. Unfortunately, if iCloud Find my iPhone Activation Lock is enabled on the device we’ll need to gain access to your previous Apple ID account to disable it. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you may need a personalized support experience to recover your previous Apple ID:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
Make sure that you’re entering the correct Apple ID. In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

Soundtrack problems - help please

Help please. I tried doing a send to multi-track project from FCP with the base layer video option and kept getting the 'error sending selection to Soundtrack Pro' message. I did a search and the suggestion is that I have no disk space but I have over 600GB!
Then I tried a send with the full video and the file saved okay. However when I try to open the .stmp file, Soundtrack Pro starts and then freezes. I've tried opening in various ways.
Help please, I just cannot figure this out! What am I doing wrong?

Not sure how much help this is, but since you're having problems with the layout, did you try deleting the layout file? MacintoshHD/users/username/Library/Application Support/Soundtrack Pro/Layouts
BTW, I found a BKiLifeConfiguration.plist in the following path:
MacintoshHD > Library > Application Support > ProApps > Internal Plug-ins > BrowserKit > iLife.bkplugin > Contents > Resources
Do you find it there?

SQL INSERT problem - help please

Hello,
I'm having a problem with INSERT statement.
There is a "ShowFinal.jsp" page, which is a list of candidates who selected from the second
interview. The user picked some candidates from the list and conduct the 3rd interview. After
he check suitable candidates(who are selected from the 3rd interview) from the list , enter
basic salary for every selected candidate, enter date of interview and finally submit the form.
These data should be save into these tables.
FinalSelect(nicNo,date)
EmpSalary(nicNo,basicSal)
In this "ShowFinal.jsp" page, it validates the following conditions using JavaScript.
1) If the user submit the form without checking at least one checkbox, then the system should be
display an alert message ("Please select at least one candidate").
2) If the user submit the form without entering the basic salary of that candidate which was
checked, then the system should be display an alert message ("Please enter basic salary").
These are working well. But my problem is how to wrote the "AddNewFinal.jsp" page to save these
data into the db.
Here is my code which I have wrote. But it points an error.
"AddNewFinal.jsp"
String interviewDate = request.getParameter("date");
String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");
String sql ="INSERT INTO finalselect (nicNo,date) VALUES(?,?)";
String sql2 ="INSERT INTO EmpSalary (nicNo,basicSal) VALUES(?,?)";
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
Here is the code for "ShowFinal.jsp".

Please can someone help me to solve this problem? Please help me to do this task.
Thanks.

Hi Casabianca ,
It is clearly that your problem is not on the database end, more like a servlet/jsp issue.
I will not comment on the javascript portion, but rather the 2 jsps.
a simple way to trace what's go wrong is to check the final result (the html code) of the first jsp (showFinal.jsp), and compare against what is expected by the 2nd jsp (AddNewFinal.jsp). Most browser do provide "view source" on the page visited.
the following code
<input type="checkbox" name="<%= "ChkNicno" + iCounter %>" value="<%=s.getNicno() %>">
<input type="text" name="<%= "basicSal" + iCounter %>"
would likely to be "translated" to html code something as follow:
<input type="checkbox" name=""ChkNicno0" value="nicNo>">
<input type="text" name="basicSal0">
the original code in "AddNewFinal.jsp" using
request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
which looking for a none exist http request parameter (sent as "ChkNicno0",etc but look for "ChkNicno"), which has explained before.
the second attempt to use String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno" + iCounter); give Cannot resolove symbol :iCounter. because iCounter never defined in the 2nd jsp!
Most of the error message do give clue to cause of error... : )
not too sure on your intension, assume you wish to update only those selected (checked) row to db.
some suggestions:
1) <input type="text" name="ChkNicno" size="10"> </td>...
<input type="text" name="basicSal" size="10"> instead.
then use javascript to based on checked element index (refer to javascript spec for more details), for those index not checked, clear off the correspond index "basicSal" field value.
e.g. ChkNicno[1] is not checked, empty basicSal[1] value before submission.
This will give us only selected rows values.
2) retain the code
String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");at 2nd jsp, as now the http request will pass parameters using "ChkNicno" and "basicSal".
3) some change to the code for optimization
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
to
pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
preparestatement created once should be sufficient as we do not change the sql statement throughout the loop.
there are better solutions out there, this just some ideas and suggestions.Do try out if you wish.
Hope it helps. : )

Multiselect problem Help please!!

Hi all,
I am currently using Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 I have developed an online questionnaire with a multiselect list for one of the questions. The problem i am having is that i need each choice to be totaled up separately on the report generated.
My table of answers looks like this:
Column name e.g. (Question 9)
Answer "Dog" "Cat" "Mouse" "Snake" (underneath column name Question 9 depending on what is selected).
The reporting page would look like below:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 1
Mouse 1
Snake 1
and for the question you could have another respondent who chooses similar of items on the multiselect, so their answer looks like this:
Answer
"Question 9" Dog
"Question 9" Snake
This would then start a new row on the reporting page like below which is not what i want:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 1
Mouse 1
Snake 1
Dog: Snake 1
But the report should look like this:
*(Column Question 9)* Count
Dog 2
Mouse 1
Snake 2
The current SQLquery i am using is below:
select "QUESTION 9",
count(*) c
from "P1 DQUESTIONNAIRE"
group by "QUESTION 9"
Thanks for your help and suggestions,
'S'

How to make sure your forum post will never be answered:
1) Make sure your subject line is completely meaningless (i.e. HELP PLEASE!) and describes no part of your actual problem
2) State that you are having "a few problems" but make sure to offer no details whatsoever what those problems are or what the symptoms are.
3) Post large volumes of code instead of distilling the problem down to a compact snippet
4) For extra points, make the code hard to read by refusing to make use of the "code" tag.

K8N Neo2-fx Ram problem Help please

I have three ram(2x512MB single sided , 1x1GB double sided). Is there any way I can put them all on the motherboard? When I place them all the computer is not starting and it`s making a "beep" every 2-3 seconds. If i connect the 1GB double sided on the Dimm1(green) and the one 512MB single sided on the Dimm3(green) it`s working properly. Is there any way I can use all my ram at the same time. I`m desperate. Help please... thank you

How can I put my computer facts under any post I am posting? I should make it my signature?
That's the rule mate which you need to gives all your component in details including your PSU and Bios revision so that others can help you! Like what BOSSKILLER say it won't works with 3 DIMMS unless you purhased another 1 GB of RAM then it can solve your problem with 4 DIMMS or else with 2*512MB RAM. Make sure that you've lowered your HT to <=800Mhz as default is 1000Mhz. GD luck.

New mac user..possible imac problem,help please!

I've had my imac for about 3 weeks and in the last 4-5 days after waking up from sleep mode it has been lagging severly. At first it was for about 15 mins now its been going on for over 45. First of all, applications and anything I click on in them takes a very long time to open and sometimes several clicks. The rainbow ball curser seems to come up for much longer than usual. Then when I type, nothing shows and I have to click on the window to get what i typed to come up. I have plenty of room on my harddrive and 1 GB RAM that was factory installed. Being a new mac user, I really don't know what to do about it. Anyone know whats wrong or what to do?
Thanks in advance.
(sorry if there is bad typing in this post, dealing with the text lag right now)

Hello Christine:
If the logout/restart does not help, call Applecare. Rather than some of us trying to troubleshoot, the Applecare technicians will walk you through the problem identification process. Suffice to say, what you describe is definitely not normal.

How do I solve the following Itunes error -42404 I have tried uninstalling as well as repair and re installing, I keep getting the same problem, Help please

Please help I am un able to get my I Tunes back on my Windows 7 -64 after a Virus clean out, How can I solve a problem with the followin ITunes error of -42404 I have tried the usual uninstall and reinstal, as well as the repair all at no success, do any of you have any solution Ideas that have solved this in the past? Please Help, Thank you...

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

Possible line problems - Help Please?

Good Morning,
Been having a lot of problems with slow speeds and the Hub disconnecting recently. I suspect this is to do with the phone line as my setup has not changed since previous issues I had with internal wiring which I fixed with help from people on here...
Anyway, my Hub is connected directly into the test socket and my stats are as below. This doesn't seem right. My noise margin seems very low and the number of errors and events seem rather high. My IP profile has been higher in the past and stable until a few weeks ago.
I realise the connection is not 'stable' as it's been less than three to five days - I'm struggling to keep a connection for 24 to 48 hours at the moment without a reset so this is good for now!
Any help from Mods or others much appreciated. Not much I can do at this end.
Thanks,
Dan.
