Impossible to make the imac run again
hello, I have got a brand new iMac and after shutting down for updating software it is impossible to make this machine run again? Any idea what happened?
If it's brand new, and it won't boot at all (no sound, no light, etc.), then bring it in to your nearest Apple Store for warranty service.
Even if it is making some sound, or generating some light, if it's brand new then it's under warranty. Call your local Apple Store for an appointment and bring it in for in-person help.

Make the program run again, given the user's input?
Hello,
I need a little help with this program, you can see the entire thing below. I'm trying to make the program give the user the option to run again, using y or n. It's for a college project. Thanks.

char letter = letterOnTelephone.charAt(0);
switch (letter)

System.out.println("Sorry, the letter " + letterOnTelephone + " cannot be found on the telephone....");

}Thanks! That did the trick, however that doesn't solve my problem. How do I ask the user to run the program again at the end of the program? What am I missing?

How do I make the plugin run automatically when a photo is imported?
I am trying to write a new plugin where the metadata will be automatically added to the photo when I import the photo in the Lightroom.
How do I make the plugin run automatically when a photo is imported?
Thanks for your help!

As John said, there is no mechanism to receive notification of import. The likely recourse is continuous polling (unless you get very creative..).
You can try optimizing. e.g.: every second (or less), see if the count has changed, if it's gone up, something's been imported, if not then probably not (check anyway once in a while..).
psaha84 wrote:
How do I save the custom metadata with the image file?
Lightroom 5 has the limitation, plugin cannot link the custom metadata fields to XMP file or save them with image file.
So, is there any alternative way to save the custom metadata?
Yeah: Lightroom won't save custom metadata in xmp, nor read it if it's there, so you are pretty much on your own - you can save in a file, but if you save as non-standard sidecar Lr won't attend to it like it will jpg or xmp sidecar. For that reason it's often better to save in a separate dedicated location. You can save in image file itself, e.g. using exiftool if raw file, but that would make me nervous, and of course you'd have to have the logic to read it somewhere too..
Good luck,

Does compiling the kernel makes the system run significantly faster?
It used to be when you compiled your kernel (at least ten years ago), you would get a significant speed boost. However, with the speed of machine nowadays, I wonder how much, if any. Does compiling the kernel have a significant increase in daily performance or otherwise? If so, what portion of the system does it makes faster than before? In short, Is it worth it? I appreciate any comments.

Broch:
The title of this thread doesn't limit responses to just redoing the kernel since it says "system run significantly faster".
The kernel is not the system...the system runs from HDD and ram.
To speed up that process, run everything possible in ram for system speed up.
I think for 500 packages loading from scratch to desktop in 45 seconds is fast. And running after that in ram is super fast system speed "significantly faster".
The speed I quote is possible now. With UDMA capability in the kernel, at least half of the install time is probable.
And that is for over 500 packages into KDE no less!
Using flash in IDE removes the latent search from the system and therefore must be faster.
Changing the kernel will indeed speed up the system...but only if it includes UDMA for the flash drives already available but not configured with the present kernels.
Using flash drives for ide cache repos will allow faster boot time, and reduce the load on the system. You don't normally run many,many programs at once so put them in cache with a script to permit fast loading .
That is "system running significantly faster" and all in ram, the fastest in the computer.
no
Does compiling the kernel makes the system run significantly faster?
compiling kernel, not whatever
I did not suspect that this requires explanation?
but if you really want the noise, let's leave "faster?"
and answer is: yes/no
whatever that means.
or you are joking
anyway seems that results may vary.

Do the iMacs run on power instead of batteries like in laptops or MacBooks. Does it have a thing like UPS in desktops? I want to know everything about them. How it runs?
I presume you mean "AC power". The iMac does not run on batteries as do laptops such as MacBooks (MacBooks are laptops). That's why people buy a UPS, to keep the iMac running in the event of a failure of the power in your wall socket.

Hey there friends,
Here's my deal. I just got a new MacBook Pro for my wife and it's blazing fast. So much so that it has caused resentment towards my old, slow iMac G4. I figure after five years of futzing with it, I've installed a number of things that are probably slowing it down. In all my OS upgrades over the years I've always gone for the easy install. But it's time for my iMac to reborn, like the little speed demon she once was.
I just got a 250GB Firewire external hard drive (7200rpm/8mb cache). I have my Tiger install discs back out again. What now? I figure I'll use SuperDuper to make an exact copy of my hard drive on the external. But then what?
* What's the optimal way to make my iMac factory fresh?
* Once I install it, what can I copy back over from the my external hard drive and what should I freshly re-install? I don't want to waste too much time, but I also don't want to bog down the computer again.
* Also, since I haven't done it yet, I have over 30 GB of music. Am I better off keeping that on the external hard drive or will I notice a lag when trying to play things?
A link to a previous post you found helpful (or wrote) and/or a link to a guide you've used for such a situation would be helpful. Or why not type up a fresh one and help me and certainly others with this somewhat terrifying but ultimately liberating procedure.
Thanks,

iMac 800mhz Power PC G4, 768 MB SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)
iMac 800mhz Power PC G4, 768 MB SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)Honestly, I think what you propose to do is the wrong path. Making an iMac G4 "factory fresh" is not going to yield a signficant performance increase. Your "factory fresh" iMac will still be running on the same hardware with the same OS and presuambly the same apps. So you are proposing to spend a lot of time trying to fix a problem that can't be fixed in that manner.
What you need to look at is possibly optimizing your iMac's hard drive with Disk Warrior and perhaps adding more RAM if its RAM is not already maxed out.
You might also look at utilization of your iMac's boot drive. You need to make sure that 10-15% of the disk's total capacity is always available to the OS for internal use.
Doing this stuff might yield an improvement in processing speed, but do not expect anything near to what you see on your wife's new MacBook Pro. To get that kind of performance boost, you need to replace your iMac with a modern Mac. -
How to make the report run with urls supplied parameters
I have a report that I send the report's parameters by URL.
How can I make the report automatically run with the parameters supplied?
So when the report opens the user does NOT have to click the "View Report" button the report would just run and display the results for the user?

Experiencing similar issues on both imac and power book: after replacing an original airport extreme with a new airport extreme both computers display a black box msgs that reads: "...turn off your computer by holding down the power button and or the reset button for a few seconds and then restart your computer."...
one of the printers are usb'd to the imac. The printer is not "seeing" the imac nor will it print wireless from the powerbook which was the norm prior to the upgrade on the airport extreme.
Upon restart, the imac does not "see" the wireless keyboard or the mouse until it is "found" again.
At this time the imac or the powerbook can get on line.It sounds like your computer is getting Kernel Panics. Please look at About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages and if the message seen on your display is like the one in the link then you have confirmed you had a KP. KP's can be tough to track down because they can be caused by software or hardware. The first place to start is to post the complete crash log so we can look at it, often there are clues in the log.

Will running games that make the fan run loudly and the computer heat up damage my machine?
On my Macbook Air running Yosemite 10.10.3, with 4 GB RAM, 251 GB storage (170 GB free), a 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, and Intel HD 6000 1536 MB graphics card, when I play games such as Batman Arkham City, I experience very smooth gameplay with high fps. The only thing that worries me is when I play, the laptop heats up very much and the fan runs pretty loudly. Even with old, less intensive games like GTA SA, the computer gets pretty hot and the fan runs loudly. Is this damaging the computer, or can I continue to play these games?
Thanks.Yes you can continue to play games but heat is the bane of electronics and in time there will be a cost. When is hard to say, but I can put it this way, a fan running constantly at high speed is more likely to fail sooner than one at a slower speed.

How Can I get My iMac Running again when its stuck in the Loading boot up Screen?
My 2010 21.5 Imac wont stop loading, The wheel just keeps spinning and it doesn't even boot in safe mode. the only thing i can do is get into single user mode. My Mac doesn't respond to command + r. I am able to pull up a disk to boot from but it doesn't show a recovery disk, only "Macintosh HD", when i click it I'm back at the apple logo screen with spinning wheel.At this point i want to do one thing and that is factory reset the computer. a fresh install, delete everything, NO BACK UPS. I don't have the install CD (This Computer had a previous owner). If i were to buy a copy of the OS X from the apple store (I believe my computer was running 10.6.8, Im not 100%sure and i dont now how to find out at this point) would i be able to even put the CD in the disc drive? would it read the CD even though its stuck in the boot up(loading) screen? How would i get it out if the Drive doesn't read the disk? Do I have Other options? Thanks guys!
You are using Snow Leopard. There is no COMMAND-R for a startup. That's for Lion or later.
Call Apple and purchase replacement discs for your model. You cannot use the retail version of Snow Leopard on your model. You have no other options unless you have the original discs that came with the computer. When you get the discs:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Why does Yosemite make my iMac run slower?
Since upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite, my iMac is running somewhat slower and trudging a bit. Is this anything to do with the new OS and if so, is there any "solution"?
Hello, Ivor,
1. get your backup(s) made first. Be sure the drives are properly formatted to receive Time Machine.
See
OS X Yosemite: Disks you can use with Time Machine
Also, see this post
OS X Yosemite: Alternatives for backing up your Mac
This second link above has something overlooked but is a good way to get at least your data secured
You can create a burn folder that contains all your important files. Whenever you want to back up the latest versions of those files to a CD or DVD, simply open that burn folder, then click Burn. For more information, see Create and use a burn folder.
2. once you back up you can concentrate on getting your iMac up and running according to Uncle or Aunt Apple standards by doing some things that Kappy suggested (see my first post).
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally.
Safe Mood boot is a good way to isolate some problems. It may be something quite simple such as a 3rd party app in your login items under Users & Groups in System Preferences. -
How can i make my imac run faster?

I am a graphic designer so I need to run InDesign, Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop usually simultaneously. I also have Microsoft Office installed.
It is now running very slow and is sluggish. I've not tried anything yet to solve my problem,
Any tips what I can do to speed it up, would appreciate any helpl!I have an 8 year old iMac.
IMHO, here is no magic bullet to make a very old computer run applications like the ones you describe fast.
Compare the specs on your machine with a 27" iMac (current line):
27-inch: 3.2GHz
Specifications
3.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB (two 4GB) memory
1TB hard drive1
NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M with 1GB video memory
