MANY THANKS

Look at the top right of the page, "Start watching topic". Click on that to put a watch on. Later you can just browse through all your watches. You can also set email replies whenever somebody posts to your thread (I don't use it, does that still work?).

Formating of the message in this forum

Hello!!!
I need to post a topic on this forum and I need to post table with the sample data too. I have done proper alignment of the table in text editor , but when I see preview of message in the forum, I found that alignment is not as what I have done in text editor.
I lost tab spaces and additional space I have inserted.
How can I make formating of the message?
Are there any custom tags to format the message for this forum?
Regards,
Chetan Parekh

You can specify that the whitespace should be preserved by putting the tags [ pre] and [ pre] (without the spaces) around the text.

I keep getting an error message saying "This iPod cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started" and i have no idea what that means so any help will be much appreciated, i just want to add more of my music on it

I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

How to keep track of text messages?

I am on a plan where I can send upto 125 text messages through my phone. I had a Razr before and it used to keep track of the messages I had sent (a folder called 'Outbox'). I can't seem to find anything like that on the iPhone. I want to know how many messages I have sent so I don't pass the limit. Does anyone know if the iPhone can do something like that or if there are any applications that will allow me to do so?
Thanks,

Well it can be done with O2 in the UK so I would hazard a guess that it would be possible with Rogers in Canada also. Try logging into your account on their web site and see.

My face time isn't working on my desktop. I keep getting an error message saying this beta version of facetime has expired.

my facetime on my desktop keeps giving me an error message. This beta version of facetime has expired.

Can you clarify what Mac and Mac OS you really have? Facetime was introduced in 2010, four years after PowerMacs were discontinued. And "iOS" is not an computer OS.
Doing "About this Mac" will show your processor type and OSX version. That should help us figure out if you need to be moved to a different forum.

Apologies for the OT post (is there a forum for queries about the forums?), but is it no longer possible to EDIT posts?

You can not edit posts if you are using an iPad. It appears as though Apple didn't give much thought to users wanting to post on the site with their iPads. If you use your computer, there are all kinds of ways of formatting, you can edit, include photos and so on.
This site is about the support communities site and you can post a question here.

Does anybody keep receiving a webpage about Microsoft being unable to service a request rather than a webpage for a post selected in this forum?

I do.
Again unbelievable forum bug
La vida loca

Microsoft is aware of the problem but if you like, go ahead and report a already known issue with the VB.NET forum (no different than other sub-forums)
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help, this will help others who are looking for solutions to the same or similar problem.
Oh. That's nice they let everybody know.
I do like. As maybe Microsoft is not aware.
I can't be certain Microsoft is aware. Even though you say they are aware. Nor do I know what Microsoft is aware of regarding other issues with Forums. Of which there are some.
So should I assume Microsoft is aware of everything and not correcting anything?
And what about the future? When Microsoft updates Forums? When should I assume Microsoft is aware about issues? I don't see any notifications on what Microsoft is aware of from Microsoft. No stickies, no nothing.
Nobody should require ESP to know what Microsoft is aware of or have to search to attempt to find that out. At least that's not in my job description. Microsoft should provide that information directly where it is necessary for those who use their Forums
so those using a Forum can review that.
Thanks for your feedback though.

My original post, locked by this forum. Display problem related

Hi G5 Gurus,
The display problem first, we all know when screen savers display, a click on the mouse will bring you back to the active desktop, this was how it worked., but now, sometimes a click cause the G5 to sleep!
As for the sleep, I dare not to put it to sleep these days, because I am afriad it may cause a fire by over heating. Sometmes, actually four times in the past few months, my G5 could wake up by itself, followed by a extrem high speed running of the cooling fan, it sounded like a hair dryer running in the same room. Sometimes the sreen could light up, just like real wake up, sometimes, it was black. No clicks the mouse or keyboeard could bring it back to normal, I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
This crazy problem happened for the first time last summer, a dead hard disk was the cost. Apple replaced it, but failed to detect the cooling or power or display problem. I was given one month extended free service, but right after its end, the problem was back and happened even more often.
Please let me know if any of you had the same problem and please advise what to do.
100s Gs of thanks.

I have the EXACT same problem. In fact, I could not have described it better myself. What gives? I brought it in to the "genius" bar and they repolaced the power supply free of charge but the problem is still there. I noticed they ordered a new logic board but did not end up replacing it after all. Did you have yours replaced and did it work? Is this a known issue?

Hi La teller,
Thank you for your reply. The 'genius' here in London only replace the dead hard disk, which I belive was a victim of this problem. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
Now at lest I know I am not the only bad luck guy. Let's wait and see if others are having the same problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue to Apple, even if it is, it may take years before they can offer a recall or free repaire. I noticed that some G5s have already been suffering from power problems and a free repaire was offered.
Thank you again and hope Apple can take our concerns into their consideration soon.

Hello,
I'm also having this problem (fan running, won't come out of sleep), just spoke with an apple care rep. He confirmed my suspition that it was software, not hardware as I have just had the logic board and power supply replaced.
His suggestions were to:
1. Run disk repair from the startup CD
try running OS X from a firewire drive and see if the same behavior happens or
perform and archive and install.
When the fan starts to run like that it means the OS is not communicating with the hardware properly. The OS could be somewhat corrupt if you were having hardware issues beforehand, hence the need for a reinstall. I will be performing an archive and install after the disk repair, I'll let you know if it fixes the problem!

Hi Stopha6,
Thank you for your message. I never imagined it could be a software issue, cos it looked so hardware.
Please keep me updated with your progress.
By the way, as I said in my old posts, a hard disk went dead when this happened for the very first time, how do you read this?
Thank you.

Hi Stopha6,
After reading your reply again, I realized that the system had already been reinstalled. As I said when it happened for the first time, the hard disk died with it, which was replaced, of course with a new OS X, but the same problem is still happening. May this suggest that it is not just a software problem? Thank you. Songyan

The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on. The screen-saver and sleep problem you describe sounds like something that may just happen on accident. But this sounds mostly like a software problem. Try making sure to always quit all non-apple products and see if anything changes.

Thank you, Ag-Nate. I will try as you adivised but I con't think the fans were activeted my intensive CPU using. In most of the cases, the problems happened when the Mac was sleeping, when the minimum CPU were being used.

"The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on."
That's only partly right. A hard-working process will make the fans run at high speed, of course.
But, the OS is in touch with the firmware of the iMac, telling it how to run the fans, based upon information the OS X kernel is getting about the state of the hardware.
If the firmware loses touch with the OS for some reason, and is not getting instructions on how to run the fan, it will default to running them at full blast, to be on the safe side (and this "full blast" fan mode is way louder than anything you'll generally experience during normal usage, I know from experience).
So it may not be so simple as a hard-working cpu process kicking the fans on.

Hi I have a 20" G5 imac it's about 18 months old and I am having the same problem, It freezes and the fan runs really loud. It's nothing to do with software as my I.T. guy has done a complete re-install. All of our admin people have imacs of differring ages and the flat panels are all OK but every one of the G5s has had a booting problem. Some fell into the recall for replacement logic boards but the one I have at home is the newest and doesn't. I'm waiting for my apple reseller to get back to me, but it looks like it's the logic board and as none of the serial numbers fall into the recall, I'm expecting a big bill. I'm really disappointed as I've been a professional apple user for over 15 years and have grown to expect a certain amount of honesty and integrity from them. Looking at all of the discussion boards and the amount of people complaining of the same problem the logic boards are defective and apple should be replacing these free of charge.

Kensall,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As in the other thread I wrote:
Being from England, you may find the repair program under these pages:
http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/
Check both of them as they refer to different models.
If neither of yours is under the program, please start a new topic thread so someone can help you.

First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.
iMac C2D 2.17/20 inch/iMac G5 1.8 1st gen/iMac G4 800 Mac OS 9 Mac OS X (10.4.8) EyeTV 200, Canon PS A530 , Epson P-R220, iSight, Airport Extreme, 5th Gen iPod

I am having a very similar problem. My G5 imac has already had the logic board replaced from the leaking capacitor problem. 8 mos. later the power supply was replaced under the second recall program when it failed to start up.
It had been working now for almost a year, when about 3 mos. ago I started to experience the sudden dimming effect - if the display was untouched the screen would dim about 30% similar to a laptop in energy save mode. I checked and none of these types of options were set in the pref panes. At the same time I would have the iMac go to sleep after a while from non-use, and then when I tried to wake it it would stir for a few seconds and then go right back to sleep. It took 2-3 attempts to wake it up.
Then last week, as I tried to wake it, it just shut down instead completely. I had to hold the power button down to recycle it to get it to come back to life (3 times).
Today was it - I found what I thought was a sleeping iMac, but it will not power up at all. I opened the back cover and the power supply is working, but I cannot get the board to energize, I reset the PMU, but the #2 LED won't even blink. It is completely dead.
Basically every time I used this computer I held my breath that it would not work. After 2 recalls I still only get 9 mos. out of it? Apple is really starting to show it is like the "big" computer makers, the quality is going right down the tubes.

After updating to ios 7.0.6 i keep getting an error message saying "this cable or accessory is not certified and will not work reliably with this iphone" every two minutes and its annoying

What is up with this error message after updating saying our cables are not reliable?

Thank you for this suggestion, but the message continues to display every couple of minutes. (e.g. "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone.)
Not only is it annoying and concerning...this is draining my battery, as the iPhone keeps waking up to display the message over and over. Like "MartinLegodi" above, I also have no cable or accessory plugged in and only use Apple cable and products when I do.
It's a disconcerting mystery.

I keep getting a display message saying this cable or accessory is not capitiable with this apple product may not be reliable with this iphone even when i have no cable or accessory in use

My iphone 5 has been saying this for days now. Yes I have recently purchased a motorola ear piece for easy talking while walking, but i have also used a 10ft cord purchased at walmart for months now and no display before the motorola. now even without anything plugged in ,I still get the display message on my phone saying" the cord or accessory is not capitable with this iphone and may not be reliable with this iphone.
what DO I do ?! is there something I can do without going to either Sprint or Apple for help.... will this be damaging to my iphone ?! HELP before its too late.
sincerely,
Apple lover JAJA

Try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
CAUTION - This may get rid of the warning for now, but the issue the warning points out still remains. One or both of your cables is certainly suspect.

How do we post questions on this forum with basic markups...

Mine never works.
Please look at my last post, just earlier to this one. It is horrible.
I tried Firefox and IE thinking it could be something to do with that.
Anyways, I hope I get this solved.

Hello,
I wasn't able to find the "size limit" information yesterday. Formatting gets lost at about 2500 characters, so break up your post so that each piece is smaller than that limit and the formatting will be retained. There's also a maximum post length limit. If I remember correctly it is about 5000 characters.
Sincerely,
