Looking for opinions & advice on Mac G5 -- television setup

Hi everyone!
I just moved in to a new home, and have gotten a great new surround system and is just about to invest in a new, modern television as well.
I have a Mac G5 dual 2 GHz that I would love to be able to hook up to the new TV set somehow. I realize that Front Row isn't supposed to work on my G5, and it's really not necessary per se I guess - but if there is a way to do it that would be my goal.
I have a remote control for the G5 already that's working great in DVD player and iTunes.
The questions:
=========
1) Can I connect somehow directly from the G5 into a modern telvision set using the second output from the built in video card? (My main goes to a cinema display now). Or do I need to have a separate video card?
2) What telvision set is recommended? (40" or bigger preferred)
3) The G5 is pretty far away from the telvision area and the surround sound receiver. Is there a way to get optical cable that's really long somewhere? I dont seem to be able to find optical cable longer than 12 feet - is there some kind of technical limit?
4) Should I just forget the G5 altogether and get a Mac mini for all TV purposes?
5) Whatever happened to that iTV product thing that Steve Jobs was talking about?
All opinions/comments welcome! Thanks!

Martnlindhe,
I chose to purchase a MacMini Intel model to hookup to my 36 inch Sony TV.
I chose this model for several reasons as I also have a Web Camera hooked up to it at the same time via Firewire. I use Front Row and iTunes to distribute music throughout the house wirelessly to other stereos and to view what is playing now via the TV.
Here are some photos of the MacMini hooked up to the TV and using Front Row.

The photos aren't that great but you get the idea. The TV screen looks great in person as opposed to the photos with the glare and the darkness.
Some TV's don't look as good as my TV looks from what I have heard so your TV may or may not look as good. I am about to upgrade to a 42 inch Panasonic HD Plasma TV which should give an even better picture. At this time, my TV is connected to the MacMini via the "S-Video" cable. The HDMI video cable is a better choice if your TV has that capability.
The new iTV from Apple is rumored to be released sometime this coming Spring.

  • Looking for some advice.

    Hi. Hope this is right forum. First post. A brief background. Years ago (2007-2008) I created a web portfolio for school. First it was in HTML (Dreamweaver) and then Flash. I hadn't really touched it in years and decided this past couple of months, after playing in the medium again, to get back into wed design, 3d, and digital content creation. That said, I went in and updated both the HTML and Flash versions with the knowledge I currently have, limited though it is. I now would like to go forward and build a completely new site and teach myself HTML, JavaScript, and WebGL along the way (possibly before hand). Hopefully I'll get working on the new site before the end of the year. In the mean time, I'm using my old site as a stop-gap measure. I've also taken books out from the library to begin journey into the above mentioned languages.
    This all said, I'm looking for some advice on what direction I should go next...look into... Does my current objective seem reasonable? Also, could anyone give feedback on what I did wrong and what I've done right on my old site. I think, as far as what went wrong, the Flash page is just too large. No one wants to wait so long for it to load. I think I got carried away with it. Also, too many sound effects. That said, I think the HTML site was constructed in an "old-fashion" way. No one makes sites like that anymore. I basically set it up in Photoshop, sliced it, and assembled it in Dreamweaver. The end result is a bunch of tables in HTML? A friend suggested I look into a CMS (?) like WordPress?
    Here's my current site: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~mstingle/
    Constructive feedback on what I did right and wrong would be great. And, where I should be looking next for rebuild of my portfolio.
    Cheers.

    WebGL is still  experimental.  Most browsers don't fully support it yet.
    http://caniuse.com/webgl
    The current trend is Responsive Web Design -- layouts that work in all devices (mobile, tablet and desktop).  This technology relies on CSS layouts (no tables) with media queries for different viewport widths.  Below is a crude example built with the FluidGrid Layouts feature in DW CS6 or CC:
    http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid2.html  -- resize your browser's viewport to see it in action.
    Flash is dead on the web now because the world's most popular mobile & tablet devices don't support it.  Animations are mostly being built with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.  See Adobe Edge Animate.
    If you're not a skilled coder and just want a basic static web site, Adobe Muse might be all you need.  http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html   That said, Muse cannot support server-side programming so you can't use it for advanced features like CMSs, blogs, etc...
    If you're a Creative Cloud member, you can use Behance & ProSite to build & share your portfolio online.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/behance-community.html
    http://prosite.com/
    In terms of your own site, ask yourself how much content & which features it will need to support in the coming months/years.  If it's going to be a relatively small site (under 20 pages), a static HTML site is probably all you need.  IMO, WordPress -- a dynamic CMS built with PHP & MySql databases -- would be overkill.  However, if you plan to make your site into a  blog for example, then a dynamic CMS is an option to consider.  WordPress isn't the only kid on the block either.  There's also Drupal, Joomla!, and many more...

  • Looking for some advice on what to do about

    So I have a macbook pro - late 2007 model I guess
    2.16 core duo(just before the core 2 duo's i guess)
    2gig's ram
    ATY,RadeonX1600 256mb
    My problem itself is in 3 parts
    1.) My battery fried late 2008(have it running off the adapter since) and I was wondering if my model will fit with the 2008 model batteries? If so do you know how much it would cost(cdn dollars if possible)
    2.) My video card is from what I believe to be ruined/terrible shape. I've been using SMC fan control for awhile to sway the overheating, and it helps but I believe the damage was already done while I did not have it active while using my computer for games and other various things(MBP's seem to run insanely hot?)
    I will be calling the apple store i bought it from tomorrow but I was looking for some advice on any type of diagnostic tests I might be able to do to test my video card as well how much would it cost to replace(assuming you can't upgrade much in a laptop)
    3.) Wondering your opinion on the overall value of the computer with the replacements/without.
    It appears to run perfectly fine though sometimes when program's open up I start to see tearing and pixel's looking crazy all over my screen(assuming a fried video card)

    You can buy the battery design for any old MacBook Pro models (not the unibody). MacBook Pro from the first to the last generation uses the same battery. It cost $129 (not sure how much it cost in Canadian but probably a $20-$30 premium). As for your graphics card, Apple has a one price model for all hardware repairs ($310 or something around there and converted to Canadian probably around $350 to $360). I think you should get it replaced. The only test that I can think of is to re-install the OS and see if the problem occurs, if it does then its most likely a hardware issue. There is no standard test that's widely available. With the replacement I think the computer values in the range of $1800 to $1500) and without the repair I would say about $1350 to $1000 at best.

  • Looking for some advice on CEP HA and Coherence cache

    We are looking for some advice or recommendation on CEP architecture.
    We need to build a CEP application that conforms to the following:
    • HA with no loss of events or duplicate events when failing over to the backup server.
    • We have some aggregative rules that needs to see all events.
    • Events are XMLs with size of 3KB-50KB. Not all elements are needed for the rules but they are there for other systems that come after the CEP (the customer services).
    • The XML elements that the CEP needs are in varying depth in the XML.
    Running the EPN on a single thread is not fast enough for the required throughput mainly because network latency to the JMS and the heavy task of parsing of the XML. Because of that we are looking for a solution that will read the messages from the JMS in parallel (multi thread) but will keep the same order of events between the Primary and Secondary CEPs.
    One idea that came to our minds is to use Coherence cache in the following way:
    • On the CEP inbound use a distributed queue and not topic (at the CEP outbound it is still topic).
    • On the CEPs side use a Coherence cache that runs on the CEPs JVMs (since we already have a Coherence cluster for HA).
    • Both CEPs read from the queue using multi threading (10 reading threads – total of 20 threads) and putting it to the Coherence cache.
    • The Coherence cache is publishing the events to both CEPs on a single thread.
    The EPN looks something like this:
    JMS adapter (multi threaded) -> replicated cache on both CEPs -> event bean -> HA adapter -> channel -> processor -> ….
    Does this sounds sound to you?
    Are we over shooting here? Is there a simpler solution for our needs?
    Is there a best practice for such requirements?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Just to make it clear:
    We do not parse the XML on the event bean after the Coherence. We do it on the JMS adapter on multiple threads in order to utilize all the server resources (CPUs) and then we put it in the replicated cache.
    The requirements from our application are:
    - There is an aggregative query that needs to "see" all events (this means that we need to pass all events thru a single processor and we cannot partition them to several processors).
    - Because this is a HA solution the events on both CEPs (primary and secondary) needs to be at the same order when reaching the HA inbound adapter and the processor.
    - A single thread JMS adapter is not reading the messages from the JMS fast enough mainly because it takes time to parse the XML to an event.
    - Using a multi-threaded adapter or many single threaded adapters with message selector will create a situation that the order of events on both CEPs will not be the same at the processor inbound.
    This is why we needed a mediator so we can read in multiple threads that will parse the XMLs in parallel without concerning on order of messages and on the other hand publish all the messages on a single thread to the processors on both CEPs from this shared mediator (we use a replicated cache that runs on both JVMs).
    We use queue instead of topic because if we read the messages from a topic on both CEPs it will be stored twice on the Coherence replicated cache. But if we use a queue, when server 1 read the message and put it in the Coherence replicated cache then server 2 will not read it because it was removed from the queue.
    If I understand correctly you are suggesting replacing the JMS adapter with an event bean that will read the messages from the JMS directly?
    Are you also suggesting that we will not use a replicated cache but instead a stand alone cache on each server? In this case how do we keep the same order of events on both CEPs (on both caches)?

  • I am looking for some advice on data roaming in Lanzarote

    Hi All I am going to Lanzarote in a few days and I am looking for some advice on data roaming, what add on's are available and how much will it cost.There isn't much info on the website.Also my son is on Orange, does anyone know what the charges will be for him? We are both on pay monthly. Thanks 

    Buying a bundle doesn't mean that your device will work aborad you need to make sure roaming is enabled on your account.
    If you have a EE extra plan you still need to make sure roaming is enable on your account your plan only gives you free/cheaper calls when abroad.
    If your wanting to enable roaming on your account there could be a deposit to pay if you haven't had the device for about 6 months.
    Unless you have paid the deposit then roaming is not enabled on your account.
    You need to activate roaming on your account by calling 150 from your device or from a landline 01707 315000 before you leave the UK.
    But you can still do this if you are abroad.
    If you have had the device/contract for 6 months or over you can login to your online account and turn on roaming yourself
    Manage this device>Usage controls>Roaming abroad - Allow and Call abroad and turn it on. If the option is not there you need to call
    It can take 24 hours to activate
    If you had this device/contract for under 6 months you need to call customer services on +44 7953 966250 from a landline.
    Once you have activated roaming you can then use this link to see what cost there is and what bundles you can have.
    http://explore.ee.co.uk/roaming/ee
    Please read this about voicemail
    http://ee.co.uk/help/getting-started/setting-up-voicemail/divert-to-voicemail
    And this
    http://ee.co.uk/articles/set-up-your-phone-for-using-abroad
    Also sending a text to 150 with the words of RO country your going to i.e. RO Spain will get you a reply of what the costs will be from that country.

  • Looking for some advice dealing with Kernel Panics

    Hi there! I'm looking for some help regarding constant kernel panics I've been getting on my machine. It has been happening pretty regularly for the last month or so, occuring sometimes three times in one day and other times none. I've been looking to see what might cause the issue and have thus far come up emptyhanded. I can't think of anything I've modified recently that would be causing the issue. I performed a hardware test using AHT and no errors were found. I've included both the most recent report from the panic as well as the EtreCheck report. Any and all advice is appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    The likely culprit:
    The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.
    Possible other causes are the software that installed these:
    com.splashtop.driver.SRXFrameBufferConnector          1.5
    com.avatron.AVExFramebuffer          1.7
    com.splashtop.driver.SRXDisplayCard          1.5
    com.avatron.AVExVideo          1.7
    Now they may be causing panics because the try to use acceleration in the GPU which leads to the panics. You are unlucky to have a particular model that has a real problem with this.

  • Just looking for some advice at this stage

    Hello all, been a while since I posted here... That's cause it's been a while since I've upgraded :D
    Anyway, I'm just planning my build now and I want to check up on a few things... I'm going Conroe obviously (E6600) but I'm not decided on which flavour of board I'll go for just yet. Depending on what AMD/ATi pull out of the bag it'll either be the 975X or a P6N SLI (in some form or other). At this point three things are on my mind:
    1. I want to go for 4Gb of (matched) RAM on two sticks... anything I need to be aware of regarding 2Gb module compatibility? Any makes to avoid (OCZ seem to be unpopular in that regard).
    2. I'd like to move to a SATA optical drive, and issues there? Makes to avoid etc. especially in the case of the 975X as the tested hardware list only seems to include PATA drives.
    3. What the recommended Amperage on the 12V line these days? I'm currently looking at the 620W Corsair PSU as a safe bet, other recommendations are welcome though.
    Thanks for any advice/opinions offered in advance... hopefully with a bit more info this time I'll be able to avoid trouble shooting posts :D
    Gift.

    Right so I've done it, two PCs at the spec posted in my sig...
    They seem to be working fine, nice and stable but a few little niggles I'd like to sort:
    1. Updating the Mobo drivers, live update doesn't seem to like Vista so should I just DL the ones on the mobo main page?
    2. Vista seems to behave strangely when it greys out the screen to indicate a UAC box needs attention. It fades in ok on both PCs but seems to flicker off once I'm done with the box in a way that seems to render the graphics weirdly. I wouldn't go so far to describe it as graphical corruption more like a kind of rendering lag... Anyone else noticed this, I've an idea uptodate mobo/gfx drivers might be the problem (I've just gone with the stuff vista DL'ed installed, for me) but otherwise all good games run stably so far (touch wood).
    I'm off for a night of installing software :D Deep joy.
    Gift.
    PS sorry this was late, parts got delayed in the post :D And I had no probs with my RAM if peeps are interested.

  • Looking for some advice overclocking my i7 4790K :)

    Hello there!
    I've changed my whole PC insides last week that I would be able to overclock and push to the limits. I'd like to ask more experienced users about some advices and opinions.
    I managed to overclock my i7 4790K to 4800 MHz running at 1.32V as a maximum. Below that value it would BSOD. What I am not certain about are temperatures of my processor.
    I made a picture comparing default clock with turbo boost enhancement (4.4 GHz for all cores) and maximum overclock at 4800 MHz with temperatures displayed.
    Seems like temps running 4.8 GHz are too high, aren't they? My current cooler is not really high-end, it has a single fan, single radiator and 7 heatpipes. I am thinking to upgrade for a BeQuiet! Dark Rock PRO 3 cooler, it has a double fan, double radiator and 14 heatpipes (7 on both sides). I am not interested in liquid cooling, just to prevent unwanted advices about it 
    Do you think there would be much difference between my current cooler and this BeQuiet?
    Here are clocks, voltages and temperatures, made after a while of tortures using Prime95 software:
    What do you think? 

    Allright, so it is most probably my cooler that isn't very efficient as it seems. That BeQuiet! I mentioned costs triple the price of my Fortis 2, looks powerful, guess I will stick to the idea and go for it then. Zalman cooler doesn't really look like hell of a cooler, hehe 
    Quote from: Sea Dog on 05-July-14, 05:37:04
    Typical with Intel are variations within the same CPU models. Some are good CPU OC'ers and some have a strong IMC. Tonight at our family 4th of July gathering, I will be taking home a Z97 Gaming 7 with 4790k that belongs to my uncle to play with for awhile. I do know the performance optimization with his particular system ended up being 46X and 2666 Ram speed. 47X performance had flattened out, and 48X saw a slight decrease in performance. It did run 48X @ 1.299v's (DMM), 62C under load with ambient 25C. CPU cooler used is a Zalman CNPS9900Max-R. As previously mentioned, keep the CPU temperature below 73C when under stress.
    May I ask under what conditions you had such temperatures? What stress software was in use?
    My first try was 4700 MHz, it was running stable at 1.29V. You say it's not worth it to push for 4800 MHz? I'm looking for a maximum possible FPS in games, unfortunately I couldn't yet test anything as my MSI
    GTX780Ti is still under warranty fix (fan issue).
    Edit:
    Quote from: Sea Dog on 05-July-14, 04:50:11
    Judging by the 44X, to keep under 72.72C with the current installed cooling solution, you 'might' make 45X or 46X within the Intel published temperature limit.
    Indeed 45/46x keeps acceptable temperatures. With better cooler I should be able to reach 4700MHz below 75-73 degrees. What is actually the risk of running CPU too hot? Over these 73 degrees?
    Quote from: Nichrome on 05-July-14, 05:16:16
    Nice OC but these temps won't let your CPU last for long. Make sure they're below 72*C as maximum.

  • Making an Arch Linux wiki-reader Android app - Looking for some advice

    Hey guys, hopefully this is an ok place to post this. I've just finished a beginning Java course and I'm starting on the next one. I'm learning Java with the intention of creating Android applications as a hobby. Since I've found myself accessing the wiki from my phone on many occasions, and this doesn't seem overly difficult, I think this is a good place to start.
    I've been playing with this idea for a couple of weeks and I'm trying to determine the best way to approach this. I'm looking for any pointers/advice from a development standpoint and any (potential) user feedback as well.
    So far, with the help of other Archers, I have come up with the following three options:
    1) Obvious choice- Connect to the actual wiki online
    Pros:
    +Always up to date
    +Small application size
    Cons:
    -More difficult to strip current style and "mobilize" layout (there is a lot of clutter and links to outside of the wiki)
    -More permissions that other choices
    -Requires internet connection
    2) Use the arch-wiki-docs package
    Pros:
    +Offline
    +Easier to add css styles
    +Hopefully would require zero permissions
    Cons:
    -Application would be large ~40MB (Maybe it could be reduced by removing non-english languages?)
    -Not up to date, but pretty close
    3) Use the arch-wiki-lite package
    Pros:
    +Offline
    +Small application size
    +Hopefully would require zero permission
    +More of a native android application feel instead of a dedicated webpage reader
    Cons:
    -No links to other pages
    -Would need to create style/layout from scratch
    -Not really sure how this would work (Searching, etc)
    -Not up to date, but pretty close
    Right now I'm leaning towards the second option, but only if I can figure out an automated way to strip down the html pages and remove the non-english pages. I'm thinking that I'll start with an English only version, then add international support (or a second version) later on if people want it. What are your thoughts?

    Thanks for the response!

    The arch-wiki-docs package is in HTML and I'm using WebView to read it locally. The arch-wiki-lite package is a text file. Maybe I could import it into a database? Either way, using that package will require me to create the whole layout.

    I've used Titanium Studio before, which I think is pretty similar to Phonegap, but I do want to make this one with Java.

    40MB is the compressed size. The html docs are over 100MB uncompressed. I think I could significantly reduce the size by removing the non-english pages, but I can't figure out a systematic way to find them. There are 3551 pages and they use names like 00000965.html, 00000967.html, 00000968.html, 00000974.html, etc. (Of those 967 isn't english, but the other three are.)
    rickeyski wrote: 4. the biggest plus is the android docs and examples apps are very good, start reading.
    Yup. I've been reading through those a lot. They are a big help.

  • Looking for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for playlists to migrate to iPad

    I am specifially and exclusively looking for recommendations for an iPad(iPad/Mac) app that allows for my playlists to be migrated to iPad intact and playable.
    iTunes -> Podcast/Music/Videos does not support mixed (music/video/podcast) playlits or video playlist at all. The app(s) should be able to easily create these playlist on the Mac (and manage content) much like iTunes (10).
    On the phone with tech support today and they agree this is missing functionality from Apple. They suggested I reach out on to other users that may have a thrid party solution.

    Requires each device/user have an unique Apple ID(verifiable email address):
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-friends/id466122094?mt=8
    Otherwise you can use Find My Phone, but requires logging in for each separate user. Find My Friends(built by Apple) will show everyone's location on one device.

  • Looking for opinions: AppleCare worth to pay for it ?

    Within the next three weeks we have to decide whether or not investing around 1.000 Euro ($1.200 USD) into three year AppleCare support for our company's XServe.
    At this time I had made only (more or less) bad experiences with the 90-days-support Apple provides (I can only talk about the German support, not sure regarding others):
    Most questions became answered by refering me to knowledgebase articles not related in any way to my original issue. Also I heard often that this is a known problem, but cannot be supported since it requires command line access not under the support terms or that they will call me back (I had to call back each single time). One time I even got the advise to visit this forum
    And during my last phone calls I also had the special pleasure to talk with a professional speaking some kind of "Gerglish" (German and English mixed). It was quite hard to get even an idea about what he is speaking, so after explaining my issue three times, I gave up. By the way, he also promised to send me knowledgebase articles - I never received them.
    Only very few support calls were handled professionally. So I had a really hard time on getting anything set up, configured and worked around the bugs Apple ships with the servers. Many thanks to this forum, Apple should charge for using it and I would be the first paying for - hope that they don't read this and take it for serious The people here at this place are much more helpful as all German support representatives together.
    But back to topic. I would like to hear some user experiences made with the three years extended support, especially from Germany-based people (hope that there are some users around). Good as well as bad ones.
    So hopefully I get a better overview whether or not it is worth spending money or better diving into OS X Server by educating myself.

    First, realize that the three-year maintenance agreement is only a hardware maintenance agreement. It is not for assisting you in setting up your server or working around Apple's bugs. Also realize that your experience in Germany may be different from my experience in the U.S.
    That said, for us it has been worth it. We have had four incidents with our Xserve G5, and, in each case, I have been impressed with the telephone support we have received from the Enterprise Server Support Group in Austin, Texas. The first case was an apparent manufacturing error - rather than the 250 GB ADM drive that had been ordered, invoiced, and paid for, the server arrived with an 80 GB drive. Replacement drive overnighted, arrived next day. In the second case, our Apple Hardware RAID card had its firmware settings become corrupted in an odd manner where it still functioned perfectly as two RAID 5 LUNs, but the Xserve would not boot from it. This happened during replacement of the BTO Apple SCSI card (really a rebranded LSI Logic 22320) in the adjacent slot that never worked right with our backup software, replaced by an ATTO UL4D that has never had problems. Because no firmware file was available for re-flashing the card (even though I believed and still believe that the card itself was OK), a replacement Apple Hardware RAID card was overnighted, received next day, and solved the problem with the RAID card. The third instance was when the ribbon cable between the Apple Hardware RAID and the drives was suspected as being intermittent and, no questions asked, a replacement was sent. The fourth instance was when we got intermittent ECC errors. Austin support had us interchange two DIMMs to see whether it was the motherboard that they should send (if the errors did not follow the DIMM) or a replacement DIMM (which they should send if the errors followed the DIMM). Turned out to be the DIMM, and a replacement was sent.
    I still have an open case on the Apple Hardware RAID card that has been open for over a year, now. The card has a bug in that it does not fully flush its write cache on graceful power down. Only workaround is to turn the write caches off, which is what we have done. Because the Xserve G5 (and its Apple Hardware RAID card) is EOL, I doubt that this bug will ever be fixed. But the hardware is broken (unless you think it is normal for a disk controller card not to flush its write cache on graceful power down before disconnecting from the drives).
    My only complaint is with the local on-site subcontractor. There are not many Xserves in our city. When the Apple Hardware RAID card failed, we had to make numerous follow-ups to get the local service person to contact us following the initial incident report with Austin, even though the server would not boot from the Apple Hardware RAID (we kept the server up by booting to an external firewire drive). When the local on-site repair person finally contacted us, I was not impressed by his total lack of knowledge about the Xserve, and I do not believe that he had ever seen an Xserve, much less ever having been trained on the product. I told him that I did not want him touching our server, relayed that information to Apple's support group in Austin, and they just overnighted the replacement Apple Hardware RAID card to me for replacement by me.
    So, if you are expecting setup assistance or assistance working around bugs in the software, you aren't going to get it. It's strictly hardware repair. If you are looking for bug reporting or workarounds, the best route there is to get an Apple Developer membership (they are free if you get the entry level that doesn't provide prerelease software) and to file bug reports via RADAR.
    Hope this helps,
    Russ

  • Looking for opinions

    Hi All,
    I am looking for any opinions on the WebAssist Web Developer
    suite. Any
    comparisons to the interAkt MX_Kollection or the Adobe DDT
    would be great.
    Thanks.

    I upgraded the validation extension last year only to find
    many of the
    server validations didnt work along with a host of other
    issues. I have
    dropped them a line a few times requiring info as to when
    they might have
    another release, but web assist dont seem to inform their
    customers of such
    things until the day of release.
