Jedi Academy 1.01e Multiplayer Freezes iMac - Possible issue with Leopard?

Just migrated everything over from my old iMac G4 17" to the new Intel iMac, Jedi Academy single and multiplayers seem to be freezing my iMac hard. I have downloaded the UB patch (1.01e) from Aspyr, made sure all Apple software was up to date, done a clean install after clearing out all the prefs/.plists for it and it will still lock up.
This occours trying to run Multiplayer, it gets to either 'Awaiting Snapshot' or just joins the server and the system freezes.
I've been working with Aspyr's technical support, initially they could not get the problem to happen in single player but when they tried multiplayer they experienced the same problem of it freezing the computer. They have passed it on to their Dev team as a possible Leopard problem but figured I'd mention this here as well in case other users have this issue.

Cannot say, can you use Real Player until it is solved, or flip for mac?

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

I bought my imac in 2009 with Leopard software, I want to upgrade to OS X Lion, do I have to purchase Snow Leopard first?

You will need Snow Leopard to install Lion unless you buy it on the USB drive from the Apple Store. You may wish to think about buying a Snow Leopard disc in case you wish, like some others, to return to Snow Leopard if Lion is not suitable for you. I personally saw the advantage of paying for SL and downloading Lion which was about the same cost as just buying the Lion USB installer.
Good Luck

What's possible issue with original Airport?

Hi,
I recently just purchased a used Powerbook G4 867 512M and installed an original airport card. The signal strength indicator seems to flicker in and out from no strength to highest but mainly resting at the "second" bar strength. This laptop is sitting next to a G4 tower which is getting full strength. Is there a possible issue with my laptops connectivity? Should I re-seat the airport card? What could be the issue?
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
Duane. Althoughity, I didn't verify whether the card had any physical connectivity issues, I don't think that is the problem. I made the simple move in location and that seem to have change the "bar" strength. I guess where I was was not a good area for network connectivity. Thanks for possible solutions and causes.

Graphic Issues with Leopard - iMac 24" White GeForce 7300 GT

Upon installing Leopard, I've noticed several graphics issues and general lag and delayed response with the interface. I'm running a 24" iMac 2.16ghz White early 2007, 3gb of RAM, with the GeForce 7300GT card. I have Time Machine disabled, and Spotlight has fully indexed.
When installing Leopard, I did an "Erase and Install" and have manually installed my Applications after the Leopard install. I'm using only a few applications that are all "Leopard ready" and have a relatively clean system at this point. I have also cleaned the PRAM, per the recommendations in some of the threads ive read, which didn't seem to correct the issue in this case.
It seems that any time I run any type of video or graphical application, such as Photo Booth, World of Warcraft, iChat, etc, I get a large amount of lag and slow response with the interface. Windows respond very slowly, and the applications freeze for 15-20 seconds. Even when not engaging any applications, opening folders in the finder as well as the dock appear to stall and respond very slowly.
Aside from these issues, Leopard has performed very well and I have had no other issues. Quicklook and coverflow all seem to respond very quickly and smoothly. My guess is that it may be driver related as it seems to be centered around items that are engaging the video card, though it is strange how some graphical effects seem to work smoothly while others are rather choppy. I have been watching the Activity Monitor and there don't appear to be any processes that are sucking up CPU, and nothing obvious that may be reducing performance.
I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar to this on similar hardware, or possibly may know what the culprit could be. My best guess, again, is that it could be the drivers or firmware with this specific hardware that I'm using.
Thanks for your time

I've had the same graphics issues with my white iMac 24 (serial no starts W8638), but with the GeForce 7600 card. AppleCare got me to do all the usual stuff (reset PRAM, clean Leopard install etc) but problems continued. The usual pattern is that after a while horizontal lines appear (usually in Safari) and things deteriorate form then on until there is so much pixellation that I have to turn off and back on.
Yesterday I ran for several hours using SMCFanControl to set the fans to max and had no problems, so my suspicion is that the additional graphics requirements of Leopard are over-heating the graphics card or logic board.
The Apple engineer took the machine away today and said they'll probably replace the logic board and graphics card (I think they can't change one without the other in the iMac?).
Will be a few days but I'll report back on what repairs they make and whether they solve the problem. My fear is that any changes they make will have no effect if its a design problem and the card is just not up to the job without over-heating. Though it could be the card just needs a good clean
Has anyone else tried increasing fan speed?

Has anyone experience iMac memory issues with One Drive (previously Sky Drive) - uses 5GB of my 8GB memory!

I recently started experiencing memory issues with my iMac due to One Drive using up to 5GB of my iMac memory (total of 8GB). Every time I start up my iMac Activity Monitor shows One Drive uses around 4-5Gb of the internal memory for no reason. Previously Onde Drive seemed to work fine, it's only since about 2 weeks I notice this. It's really annoying as the iMac freezes up regulalrly and I need One Drive to synchronise my files across different devices.
Has anyone experienced this too and are there any known fixes?

Yes this is happening to me too, since the last upgrade. Eventually MacOS starts insisting I "Force Quit" all my applications as I have run out of application memory.
OneDrive doesn't appear in that list because it's not an application... but Activity Monotor clearly shows it's the culprit, taking up 5GB+ of RAM.
I've raised the issue on Microsoft's forums:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/forum/sdperformance-sdother/onedrive -for-macos-memory-leak/fe04cf60-949f-47b6-b886-10539b5c5cc3?tm=1397636232934

Firefox constantly freezing due to issues with Flash. Please help.

I was running the firefox 20 beta (and have been for a while) when in the last few days, suddenly any time I tried to open any site that used even the slightest amount of flash, the browser would freeze for minutes on end before finally releasing a "plugin error" type message about Shockwave Flash. If i clicked 'continue' it would stay frozen. If i clicked 'stop script' then sometimes it would fix it, but most of the time it would keep freezing and showing that same message over and over until I stopped the process in task manager.
First I tried to update flash and shockwave- both are up to date. So i decided to delete the files themselves and the programs via add/remove and reinstalled them. Still did not fix the problem.
Next I tried to do a reset firefox to default state. This didn't work. I tried doing it again with the flash files deleted/uninstalled AND I rebooted the computer and the problem still persisted.
Finally, I tried to downgrade to a more stable version of firefox, so I downloaded 19 and it still didnt work. Tried the uninstall/re install for flash one more time and nothing.
At this point, I cannot access about half of the pages I usually go to on the web and I need help here, please anything will do.
One thing that I noticed that might be helpful is that no matter how many times i uninstalled or reinstalled flash, every time it would try to run, task manager would show two instances of it, each using different amount of memory.
again, please please help. If there is any solution short of a total wipe it would be greatly appreciated

hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

Re: Graphic Issues with Leopard - iMac 24" White GeForce 7300 GT

Possible Issues with Duplicate Training Database?

Hello everyone!
First off, please forgive my ignorance! I've only been working with databases lightly over the last couple of years, and thus far only with MySQL and MS SQL.
Recently the company I work for purchased a new software package that required Oracle. We purchased a copy of Oracle 10.2 as part of the deal and the company that sold it to us, and set it up for us, has denied us dev access to the database, on our server, because it would expose their underlying data schema. I wasn't in change when the decision was made and we spent the money on a crippled copy of Oracle, but that's in the past.
Because we don't have dev access to Oracle we're unable to create a training database for this new software in house. We have to pay this company to create a test environment for us. I was told it would cost $500, until the tech said he was going to install Oracle on our training server.
At this point I stopped him and said at $500 they'll either be breaching their licensing agreement, or giving us a free copy! The other possibility is that they were going to install this and then just bill us for Oracle later on, despite quoting the job at $500.
The tech who was about to do the installation went to check with someone more senior and then returned to inform me that installing the second copy of Oracle would indeed require more licensing fees.
This verified what I already had told him, and I said we want a training database on our existing Oracle server, and then training copies of the new software can just point to that training database.
He now needs to take time with the more senior technicians while they're "analyzing the existing database server/environment". He was trying to talk me out of installing a training database on the existing server, and instead buying another copy of Oracle, which I believe to be a total cash grab. He had no solid reason why he couldn't do it, but refused to anyway and said he needs to talk to a more senior tech (the same one who said that yes, we'll need to purchase a second copy of Oracle rather than use a second database on the existing server).
So, these two databases, one live data and one a duplicate of that live data used in a training environment where changes won't be reported against, should be able to exist peacefully should they not? The same version of the same software accessing the same data from the same server, just a different database, shouldn't present any problems with my limited knowledge of Oracle! There will only ever be maybe 5 connections to the training environment at a time, and the server should be able to currently handle twice as many users connected as it's current maximum (edit: expected) load.
I know this wouldn't be a problem with MySQL, or MS SQL, and Oracle is a superior database package, so can anyone think of any legitimate reason that might back up the claim that having that duplicate database will be a problem?
Thanks in advance for any guidance here!

Thank you very much John!
We have a per user license and I don't expect our training needs to exceed even a half dozen people at a time to start (A small, significant, fraction of the initial user base). In the future we can easily recommission other resources, or purchase more. The whole project is in the earlier stages anyway, so the needs are smaller now (but the money we spend on licensing could be recurring).
I understand the requirements angle from a server perspective, but those points you brought up drill down into what I need to know a bit more.
I doubt rollback segments would be necessary, I was thinking more along the lines of scheduled replication/duplication of the production database on a weekly or monthly basis, just to keep the material at least somewhat up to date.
I also don't think temporary table space would put much load on storage either, at least in the long run.
RAM isn't much an issue with a 64 bit version running either, for our needs now at least.
My instinct, and what you mention about even potential impact of altering the existing database schema enforces this, is that it's basically safer to create a separate database, but less resource intensive to alter the schema of an existing Oracle database to suit training needs (in this situation, maybe, making some vague assumptions about software probably), if done correctly (although still carrying risks).
I do wish I had the time to read up on this more now, and I will as soon as I have the time.
I probably will download 10g express edition to familiarize myself a bit more now, as soon as I come up with an application for it, to at least try out whatever I read.
Thanks for the advice

IWeb 3.04 with OS 10.8.2 on new iMac. Issues with saving.

Sometimes changes save, sometimes they don't. Using Domain Cracker to open desired domain.sites2 files saved in the documents folder. Could that script be the source of the problem?
Back story is that we have a fairly large site developed on iWeb 1.x on an old 2006 MacBook running Tiger (10.4?). Hard drive crash resulted in new HD, installed box set Snow Leopard 10.6 and iWeb 3.0.4. Then acquired a new iMac with Mountain Lion 10.8.2, installed the iWeb 3.0.4, copied the converted domain.sites2 files over. Made extensive changes, saved frequently, quit iWeb, the next day all changes area lost. Then tried experimenting with simple minor changes, save quit, relaunch, changes are saved properly. Try again, simple text edit, save, quit, relaunch, changes are lost. Sometimes the changes save, sometimes they don't.
Who knows the definitive answer on iWeb 3.0.4 running on a new iMac under OS 10.8.2 on a new latest model iMac? Is Domain Craker a potential source of the problem?

On the one hand you say you are using iWeb V 3.0.4 but at the bottom of your posr mention iWeb '08.
iWeb '08 (V2) causes problems with saving when using Mountain Lion.
Domain Cracker is just a script that allows you to choose a domain file to open in iWeb. It doesn't have anything to do with the running (or not) of iWeb.

[SOLVED] Possible issue with makepkg or gnupg 2.1???

I am quite willing to admit that it's possible I'm totally stupid and missing something basic, but I just wanted to see if this makes any sense to you folks. Basically, I'm wondering if there's a regression in makepkg or gpg-agent with GnuPG 2.1.
Step 1: Verify the condition of my personal keyring.
gpg -k | grep Xyne
No results. Good.
Step 2: Verify the condition of pacman's keyring.
sudo pacman-key --list-keys | grep Xyne
No results. Good
Step 3: Use pacman-key (NOT my local GPG keyring) to import Xyne's key and trust it.
sudo pacman-key --recv-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
sudo pacman-key -u
Step 4: Try to install pm2ml, signed by Xyne, and use makepkg to verify that yaourt is NOT the problem. This will not work.
yaourt -G pm2ml
cd pm2ml
makepkg -s
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz ... FAILED (unknown public key 1D1F0DC78F173680)
Step 5: Check that I'm not crazy.
sudo gpg --homedir=/etc/pacman.d/gnupg --verify pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz.sig
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/etc/pacman.d/gnupg'
gpg: assuming signed data in 'pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz'
gpg: Signature made Tue 30 Dec 2014 05:55:07 PM MST using RSA key ID 8F173680
gpg: Good signature from "Xyne. (key #3) <[email protected]>" [full]
Step 6: Import Xyne's key into my local GnuPG keyring, which I should definitely not have to do:
gpg --recv-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
gpg --lsign-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
makepkg -s
Makepkg will work at this point. I have tried this three times, and I can duplicate it 100% of the time.
Is my configuration messed up, or can anybody else duplicate this? I'm wondering if the gpg-agent since GnuPG 2.1 doesn't switch home directories or something and refuses to see a new key even though I just imported it? It seems like the key and the signature are both clearly valid, but I can only get Xyne's package to verify using makepkg if I import his key into my ~/.gnupg keyring.
Again, I could be totally stupid, but I legitimately do think there might be a bigger issue.
Thanks.

Okay, sorry! I didn't know that was intended behavior. That actually makes me a lot happier.
It just didn't seem intuitive to me that I would have to add the developer's public key to my own keyring rather than to pacman's keyring. Almost guides I had previously read previously said I needed to use pacman-key to import the public key.
This thread can be marked as solved, because there is no issue.

Possible issue with MSI Live Update 5

Hi guys, purchased a brand new MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G GPU from Scan.co.uk just before Christmas.
Whilst playing around with GPUz i happened to notice that my card appears to have had at least one new BIOS for it (possibly two) since release. I downloaded MSI Live Update 5 from your site and ran the tool however it reports my GPU BIOS Version as unknown and doesn't find any BIOS updates for my card.
Just wondering why this would be and if i can get a link to the latest BIOS and instructions on how to manually flash.
My system specs are as follows
AMD FX8350 @ 4.8Ghz 1.55v / Corsair H100 Cooler
ASUS Sabertooth R990FX R2.0
16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz CL9 @ 1866Mhz CL9,9,9,24-2T
MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G
2 x Sandisk Ultra 256GB SSDs in RAID 0
Fractal Design Define XL R2
If you need any further info please let me know. Thanks

First off this is a Users-to-Users Forum not MSI tech support if you wanted to address them. Don't use LU5 as it is quite buggy. You can't see if there are new vbios versions available as you can't compare gpu-z numbers or such. Different batches of the same model can use different vbios versions which have different (higher or lower) version numbers. A higher version number might be a different not newer vbios. To check your S/N and a copy of your current vbios is required.

Possible issue with Quicktime and VLC

OK,I had updated my Quicktime(7.4)a couple weeks ago and ever since I can't seem to play any avi or mov files with VLC player. Most of the time I get audio but no picture. The error I get after about 5 seconds is "macosx: QT doesn't support any appropriate chroma" Anyone have an idea on how to remedy the problem? I try playing the avi and mov files in Quicktime but they're very choppy.

Suggest that you also post over in the VLC Forums.

Possible issue with MMS and Android

Anybody else getting this?
I can send MMS to anyphone and network except other HTC Hero users on our network, did a bit of searching and found this on the voda forum.
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=33165
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=45884

Hi Mark
Yes I can send MMS no problems at all to any other handset and network and get them in return, but a bunch of my work colleagues who have the handset on this network have the same issue, they didn't realise until I had mentioned it. Sometimes I get the message but it comes up on the screen to download but it won't let me.
The reason I posted was to check how widespread this is, since this handset and O.S is new to BT.

Possible Issue with Latest Office 2001 Update

In the last few days my MB Air mid-2013 with Mavericks did an Office 2011 update to Version 14.3.9. Today I used it for the first time and Excel crashed each time I tried to use it. To get the job done I had to revert to the earlier build (version 14.3.8) from a backup and that appears to work normally.
I don't know if this is an issue with Mavericks or if the update to 14.3.9 would have crashed with ML, too. Nor do I know if Word would have crashed since I had to get the task in Excel done before an appointment.
Phil

Apparently cannot edit the above. Title should have Office 2011, not Office 2001
