IMac G5 having hard time

My dad's iMac G5 20', 2.1 GHZ, 1.5 GB of RAM, 500 GB HD is running Mac OS X 10.4.11, and has all the latest software, but recently, even before the update, it has been running slowly and freezes about every 2 hours. I cleaned up the computer using Onyx, I checked the hard drive space, has 333.1 GBs left, so no problem there. Any ideas?

Perhaps you might check and see if his computer is covered under Apple's Repair extension programs, it sounds as if he might have a power supply problem.

    Hello Terrychelle,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If the issue is to do with Safari, then you may need to reset it.

  • HT5319 having hard time upgrading and deleting the old games

    I am having hard time upgrading deleting my the old games on my ipad 2

    You'll want to describe what you've tried here, and what has happened; any error messages or related details you've seen would be useful, too.
    To delete an app on iOS, hold your finger on an icon until all of the icons on the iOS display start jiggling, and then press on the red Ⓧ.  That deletes that app from that device.
    You can also drag the apps from display page to display page in jiggle mode, but don't press the Ⓧ while you're doing that relocation.
    Press the "home" button on the front of the iOS device to exit jiggle mode.
    You can also delete the app from iTunes, though I don't have any experience with that on Microsoft Windows 7.  If you're having issues with Windows 7 and iTunes, you'll want to describe the details of what's happening.

  • Convert SSRS dropdown MDX query to INNER JOIN w/ NONEMPTY? Having hard time with this.

    I'm having an incredibly hard time with this, mostly because I'm very new with MDX.
    I created a simple report (with AdventureWorksDW) whose datasource is an SSAS cube. I select a datekey from the dropdown menu, and the report displays [Measures].[Order Quantity] for that day.
    The problem is that the dropdown displays every single value from the dimdate dimension. DimDate goes from 20050101 to 20201231, so the dropdown is very long.
    How can I alter the SSRS-generated MDX so that it does an INNER JOIN with Fact table and only the dates shown in the dropdown are the ones where there's data in the Fact table?
    Currently, the fact table only has 2 days of data (20141015, 20141016), which means that the dropdown should only display those two dates. I'm including the generated code MDX that populates the dropdown menu:
    WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
    [Dim Date].[Date Key].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
    MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
    [Dim Date].[Date Key].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
    MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS
    [Dim Date].[Date Key].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
    SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption],
    [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]}
    ON COLUMNS , [Dim Date].[Date Key].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS
    FROM [Adventure Works cube]
    Any help is appreciated.
    VM

    Hi vmhatup,
    you can get rid of blank data using nonempty function and get rid of negative values using filter function nonempty should be inside of filter so it applies first, otherwise it is too slow.
    Your statement could look like this
    WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
    [Dim Date].[Date Key].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
    MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
    [Dim Date].[Date Key].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
    MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS
    [Dim Date].[Date Key].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
    SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption],
    [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]}
    ON COLUMNS
    , filter(
    nonempty([Dim Date].[Date Key].[Date Key],measures.measureName)
    ,measure.measurename >0
    ON ROWS
    FROM [Adventure Works cube]

  • White iPhone 5 People Having hard time hearing me

    I have an iphone 5. Most of the calls I make the person has a hard time hearing me to the point where I can no longer use speaker phone. But I can hear that other person come in just fine.

    Jax Omen
    " was going to ask how you know the color of the iphone that people are using when they have a hard time hearing you! "
    Sorry you misunderstood my question let me rephrase my question. I was telling you the color and make of my phone and was wanting to know if their was anybody having any issues with this as well. It could be a problem with iphone 5 or just an issue with mine alone.I was trying to see if their were any troubleshooting steps I could try to rectify the problem I am having.

  • Having hard time connecting tv to macbook

    I am having trouble connecting macbook pro to tv.

    Hi Joyce,
    If you have the proper adapter/s and cable/s, the most common reason the TV does not show what's on the Mac is that the proper input has not been selected. There's probably a button on the TV's remote labeled "input" or "source" and if you press that until the Mac's output shows up, you should be good to go.

  • Having hard time with MUVO not being recognized by comput

    I was able to use my MUVO one time and put music on it. Any time after that it would not get recognized when in my USB port. I downloaded the firmware and I am getting this message:
    "The device is not connected to the USB port"
    Any ideas on how to get this figured out would be very helpful.
    Thank you.

    Dunno if this will work for you but it did for me...
    . Right-click My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager
    2. Check that the unit is registered on the computer (it might be in the "Other devices" category marked with a yellow exclamation mark).
    3. Right-click the device name -> Update Driver:
    a. "Can windows connect to the windows update to search for the software"
    Select the 3rd option: "No, not this time" -> Next
    b. "If your hardware comes with an installation cd insert it now"
    Select the 2nd option: "Install from a list or specific location(advanced)" -> Next
    c. "Please choose your search and installation options"
    Select the 2nd option: "Don't search I will choose the driver to install." -> Next
    d. "Hardware type"
    Select "Uni'versal Serial Bus Controllers".
    It will then recognise and install the MTP file it needs from Windows and the unit will be recogised.

  • HT204088 Having hard time making a purchase thru iTunes I put in my credit info

    Having difficulties putting info to pay for purchases on iTunes &amp; appleStore

    Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store &amp; sign out &amp; log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

    Hi Catbhall,
    The basic problem here is the printer is having a problem connecting to the internet. 
    1. Reset or turn off web services
    2. Restore network defaults.
    3. Reattach the printer to the network.
    4. Turn web services back on.

  • Having hard time getting this to work.

    Hi
    I have been working on this for several hours now and not having much luck. I think im not understanding the relationship between the two classes properly. Also there is a GUI that goes with it but it only so fay has the code to construct the GUI. My problem is getting these two classes to compile, then mabe i can move on to finishing the GUI. If you need the GUI then i can post it.
    If you could, please take a look at these two classes that im having trouble with, where am i going wrong.......
    import java.util.*;
         public class ShoppingCart     {
    private Product[] shoppingcart;
    private static int count;
    public void shoppingCart()     {
    shoppingcart = new Product[50];
         count = 0;
    public void addProduct(String name, double price, int quantity) {
    boolean found = false;
    int i = 0;
    while(i < count)
    if(shoppingcart.getName().equals(name)) //tests for existing entry.
    found = true;
    break; // break form loop if true.
    i++;
         // adds retrieves corresponding number for entry.
    if(found == true)
    shoppingcart[i].setPrice(price);
    // adds new entry.
    else {
    if(count < shoppingcart.length)     {
    shoppingcart[count++] = new Product(name, price, quantity);
    else {
    Product[] temp = new Product[shoppingcart.length*2];
    for (int j = 0; j < shoppingcart.length; i++)
    temp[j] = shoppingcart[j];                                   
    temp[count++] = new Product(name, price, quantity);
    shoppingcart = temp;
              public String findProduct(String name)     {
    for (int i = 0; i < count ; i++)
    if(shoppingcart[i].getName().equals(name))
    return shoppingcart[i];
    return "Not found.";
    I think i will post the other class below.....

    This is the second class.
    Explanation. With a working GUI this program will add and retrieve different products, two events are required, add/modify and search. new products are added to an array with three parameters name, price and quantity. These product need to be able to be called up and stored into a text area displaying name, price and quantity.
    Any help is appreciated.
    public class Product {
    private String name;
    private double price;
    private int quantity;
    public Product(String name, double price, int quantity)     {
              this.name = name;
                   //price = 0.00;
                   quantity = 0;
                   //this.name = name;
    this.price = price;
    public String getName()     {
    return name;
    public double getPrice()     {
    return price;
    public int getQuantity()     {
    return quantity;
              public void setName(String name)     {
              name = name;
              public void setPrice(double price)     {
              //price = price;
              public void setQuantity(int quantity)     {
              quantity = quantity;
    }
