In serious need of some guidance.

If you look at my post history, you'll see I've been complaining about my Early-2008 iMac recently and how it crashes after waking up from sleep. It use to do this about once every couple of months. No it's getting to the point where I can't use it without it happening.
Basically what happens is my iMac will go to sleep and when it wakes up, it'll freeze. I don't connect to the Wifi, no applications respond, and the beachball just spins forever. I've tried waiting and waiting, but to no avail. The only thing that will work is shutting it down via the button in the back and rebooting it in Safe Mode. If I don't boot it in Safe Mode, it'll show the blinking folder with a question mark upon startup.
Now I've pretty much exhausted all my options. Verify disk and permissions, repair both, check to make sure the hard drive's not failing or dead (which it isn't to my knowledge), create a new user, try disabling startup applications, using a new browser, going from wireless keyboard and mouse to wired. Nothing seems to work.
The only hints I've had that are out of the normal, is one time it woke up from sleep, froze, unfroze, but the wireless options all had "k" before them. Weird, I know. And then the other day as I was working on it, the screen went white for about a second, and then basically restarted my UI - it showed me a blank desktop, then my menu bars started to appear, and then my application bar at the bottom, then my windows restored - all similar to how they startup and appear when you boot up the computer. Other than that, It just keeps doing this.
Everything is updated as far as OS and such, and I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm getting to the point where I'm just assuming it's too old and is giving up, but what bothers me about this is that I can't pinpoint a problem. I don't have Apple Care, and at this point I probably wouldn't spend money on doing anything to repair it.

First, you're not running iOS on an iMac - so what OS version are you on? And how much RAM do you have installed? How much empty hard drive space?
Aside from those, it could easily be a hardware issue going by the age of the machine; I would book an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar. The troubleshooting/diagnostics are free; they have far more powerful tools to run diagnostics as it could be a hardware issue (hard drive, logic board come to mind). You wouldn't have to have it repaired, but at least you'd have a better idea as to what is going on.

  • CAM newby, in need of some guidance

    Hi all
    Right, I've connected my 2540, installed CAM 6.1.2.8 and upgraded the firmware.
    Now, how do I configure the storage (keeping in mind that we didn't purchase any "premium" licenses)? I have never used CAM before.
    My second question is, once the storage array has been configured, how does the data host access the array (not physically i.e. cables etc), but via the O.S. Would I see extra "drives" showing up in format/iostat? Do I then partition them as I would a normal physical disk?
    I think what I really need is a "How to configure a storage array (using CAM) for dummies".
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    HI soliberus
    Now, how do I configure the storage (keeping in mind that we didn't purchase any "premium" licenses)? I have never used CAM before.You'll need to put your hosts into a host group and then map your LUN's (volumes) to them , but default everything is kept in the one host group I'm pretty sure you only get a limited number of hosts groups with a default 6140 , usually you have to purchase an additional license depending on how many hosts you plan to have access the 2540. You can have multiple hosts inside a host group ie you could have all your Vmware ESX hosts in a group called ESX_Hosts , which might contain 5-or more initiators.
    My second question is, once the storage array has been configured, how does the data host access the array (not physically i.e. cables etc), but via the O.S. Would I see extra "drives" showing up in format/iostat? Do I then partition them as I would a normal physical disk?.Do you have a fiber channel switch in the middle ? if you do then you'll need to configure your zoning to allow the storage to pass through , down to the host. If you just have your hosts directly connected into the back of the 2540 , and once you have mapped them it should just be a matter of (depending on your host OS) scanning for new volumes , and they will appear.
    I think what I really need is a "How to configure a storage array (using CAM) for dummies".The online help inside CAM is pretty good , but I've been in your situation before and found it better to ask or someone who has worked with CAM for awhile , feel free to ask any other questions you may have , and I'll be glad (and do my best) to answer them for you.

  • Looking for some guidance on how to splice 2 vidoes together in Adobe Elements 13.

    Looking for some guidance on how to splice 2 vidoes together in Adobe Elements 13.

    ScottWarnerBC
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
    What do you mean by splice 2 videos together?
    a. put them side by side on the Timeline and export them to one file saved to the computer hard drive or burned to disc
    or
    b. something like the following even before import into any Premiere Elements project
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Seamless File Merging Before Import
    If it is "a", then we need to know the properties of those 2 files so that the project settings can be set accordingly.
    What is your intended export? Based on the properties of the source media, we can then decide on export settings
    to produce a file with properties as close as possible to the source (if that is what you want).
    We will be watching for further information.
    Thanks.

  • Can't get my design to work, could someone lend some guidance?

    Hi,
    I'm a complete newb to Labview v8.6.1.  I come from the .Net world and I'm having difficulty making the transition, some guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    I've attached my .vi that I came up with but I've hit a wall and I can't get this design to work correctly:
    I have two buttons on my .vi, a Sample button and a Calibrate button.  When I hit the sample button, I need to write out the values from my linear sensors to a file, this actually works fine.  When I hit the calibrate button, I need to get the values from the sensors, store them in an array for later use.  This works fine as well.
    The problem I'm having is I need to use the stored values in the array in my Sample button logic which doesn't work because I don't have cases for my "False" condition.
    Am I even close to the right solution here?
    Thanks for any guidance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    FirstDesign.zip ‏68 KB

    Do you have access to the Event Structure?  It will work a lot better for GUI like this instead of polling the buttons (and using a lot of CPU).
    You should look into shift registers to store your calibration array.  I think the resources nyc gave should mention these somewhere in there.
    There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • Seriously need help but cant get through via phone

    I am seriously needing help spend almost all week chatting with verizon via my verizon however nobody could come up with an answer for my problem  it seems that I have been locked out of using the online payment option  and the lady says it does not show that on her end  I need this addressed asap but the lines have been down for days according to the store I just spoke with.  is there someone in finance or billing that could call me?  I have several things I am trying to do  1.  add an account manager 2. make a payment arrangement for a week out ( I normally do this as my payday falls odd)  3.  gain access to online payments

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. If the problem isn't solved, ask for further instructions.
    1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    2. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter.
    3. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    4. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.

  • Looking for some guidance on an Internet and Wan failover design

    Hey Everyone,
    I have a project that has been somewhat dropped my lap.  The person who was going to do the project has abruptly bowed out.  I'm stuck in a position where I can either find another contractor, or just do the work myself.  For sake of saving my company, and putting another notch in my belt, I think I'm just going to do it myself.  For background info, I am a CCIE Collaboration.  I have held a CCNA in route switch for several years, and have used it extensively.  I have done some pretty large networking projects.  But I've never done this particular aspect of route switch.  I'm hoping someone here can point me to a good location for reference materials or videos.
    Here is what I'm looking to do.  We have 30 branch offices, with 2 major data centers.  Both data centers have a 100mg internet, and a 50mg mpls connection.  Today our MPLS comes directly in to a Cisco 3945 router and then uplinks in to our datcenter on a 3750 stacked switch.  Our internet connection comes in to a HA pair of ASA 5510's and then also uplinks to our switches.  All of our branches come back to the datacenters over the MPLS for their internet services.  Today, all of our offices go to our west coast datacenter.  The only thing using our east coast datacenters internet is that office itself.  I want to achieve two goals:
    1) Make all internet connectivity load balance. If one site loses internet, all traffic routes to the other site.
    2) If the MPLS is lost, I want the datacenters to reroute traffic through a VPN tunnel between each other
    The way I understood it from the person who left the project is that I need to bring the internet connection and the MPLS in to a single router, or pair of clustered routers.  That router can then make the patch selection and handle the BGP with our carrier.
    Thank you all in advance.

    I acually have similar setup at home using a 2611 router and forwarding port ranges to multiple ips on the internal network and it works great! My issue is that I have one dynamic ip assigned by my ISP and eventually I will have to manually change the ip for each nat statement. I wanted to know if there is a way to point to the outside interface instead of using on ip address. I found out that you can use a static nat statment
    "ip nat inside source static tcp 10.0.0.2 22 interface fa0/0 22" instead of
    "ip nat inside source static tcp 10.0.0.2 22 72.xxx.xxx.85 22 extendable"
    but I cannot find how to point my route-map to the interface to fully resolve this dynamic ip change in the future. My config is listed below which works great if you have static ips assigned by your ISP!!! Though I would love some guidance on the dynamic issue if possible. Thanks
    ~Roman
    P.S. ip nat statements work like numbered access lists and have to be in order or it will not work. I found out the hard way!.
    interface fa0/0
    ip nat outside
    interface fa0/1
    ip nat inside
    interface s1/0
    ip nat inside
    ip nat inside source list 1 interface fa0/0 overload

    I'm not exactly new to Dreamweaver and I've been working on a particular website. Everything was going well until I dropped the Lightbox widget into the page.
    Lightbox gallery displays, but opens images in a new window on its own. Here's an example;

    Yet, when I drop the widget into a completely separate page from the website, it works absolutely fine. Like here;

    I have exhausted this entire forum on the subject. I don't understand how the widget can work on a blank html page but when dropped into an already designed webpage, it breaks....!
    If you need to have a look at the coding so you can help me further let me know. I've been on this for a total of 11 hours and I still can't figure out what the problem is. Seriously....i'm nearly close to tears! ;-(
    If you could help me out I would be forever grateful.

    Hello Albert3232,
    It sounds like you cannot use either camera, nor the LED as a camera. I want to recommend a couple of things here.
    First, close all the open and running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    There already are some tools in the App Store (eg. My Medical - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-medical/id347860026?mt=8).
    If you mean something that would interact directly with a Hospitals main system or such, I don't know of any.  There are numerous companies now selling and setting up central records systems around the country, but I don't know of any that are working on companion patient tools yet.
    Some charity and non-profit companies, like MedicAlert Foundation are working on such things and may have mobile apps on their radar, as funds allow them to develop such thing.  MedicAlert already offers an EMIR service online, but no standalone mobile app for it yet (you manage it via their web portal).
    Epocrates (owned by Athena Health) might also have something in the works, or at least an interest in such a thing.
