Machine running hard after Leopard upgrade - anyone else experiencing this?

Recently upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.5.2. After reboot, machine seems to be processing/running hard, with fans accelerating & decelerating. One issue may be that the RAM upgrade is not what I wanted it to be, since the supplier sent only one of the two 512MB cards that I ordered (2nd one on the way). So I have one 216MB & one 512MB in there now. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Machine seems a little slow as well. Most of the apps installed are 2-3 yrs. old (Office, etc.). Any feedback would be appreciated.

It appears that you have an iMac G5.
This is the discussion area for the iMac G4.
Is the question about an iMac G5 or iMac G4?

My phone keeps resetting after upgrading my iOS, is anyone else experiencing this on their iPhone 4 ?

my phone keeps freezing and then resetting itself with that annoying circle made up of lines as it resets when doing simple operations like messaging. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm getting this on my 5s. When scrolling fast i get random complete screen halts. When holding down on a scrollable portaion of a screen the screen jittes badly and then begins to hop all over the place.
Seems a bit suspicious, and more than a little disappointing.
Any thoughts anyone?

I am running OSX 10.6.8 and when I try to install the latest security update there is an unknown error and the update cannot be implemented. I still have to restart my computer each time I try. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.

Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

What upgrade did you apply? As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.

I think we need a lot more information.
Exactly what does the message say?
Exactly what files are you trying to open?
Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using?

TS3581 iPhone 4S - The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.

Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

I have tried to order a photo book. Both times it uploaded images etc and then after payment details a message pops up saying this album couldn't be processed. Please try again. Has anyone else experienced this? Can the photo books be printed in store?

Your screenshot is not visible.
Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail.

Since upgrading to iOS 7.0 on my 3G iPad I have been unable to send SMS's, is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have recently upgraded my 3G iPad2 to IOS 7.0 and I have since then been unable to send SMS's (not using iMessage). Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Thanks everyone, I thought that I had lost some functionality since upgrading as I can only send messages via iMessage and in our household there are 4 iOS devices and whenever anyone sends a message they do not receive the reply but it does come up on my iPad ( I don't always carry my iPad) so it can be hours before realising that the message has been received. The only solution I have is to turn off iMessage on the iPad and then everyone receives their messages normally.

Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
Has it returned to normal for you?

TS3581 I recently upgraded my iphone to ios7 and now cannot get it to connect to my phone via bluetooth. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?

I recently upgraded to ios7 and now cannot connect to my vehicle where as prior to the update, I had no problems. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you resolve this problem?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

After installing IOS 5.1, I am unable to double click the home button and access the camera. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Does a fix or work aroud exist?

I just updated--my Camera is a disaster. Yes, I know how to turn (and position) the Camera now. However, every photo I take is UPSIDE DOWN in the Camera Roll OR Photo Stream. Even worse, a number of my Apps (Weather Underground, for example) are ALSO now upside down. Has anyone here experienced these serious orientation problems after this update? I've read the 'Manual' and its as if it doesn't exist. However, if I leave the Apple site, customer complaints about orientation abound...
This is my first time posting here about an issue (well, the same issue - I posted last week about the Camera, and no one responded). Any advice at all about how to get this corrected is much appreciated!
Thank you!

My iPhone continuously searches for mail, no matter what setting I use, which is running down my battery. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPhone 5 continuously searches for mail, no matter what time period I set it for in settings. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPhone 5 continuously searches for mail
How do you know this?
no matter what time period I set it for in settings
You realize that Mail App checks for mail every time it's opened and that the fetch interval you set applies only to background checks when the app is closed, right?

Photoshop CS4 auto flattening my files. Anyone else experienced this?

Photoshop has started flattening my files, seemingly at random. Obviously I don't need to explain that this is killing my workflow and is an unacceptable bug! I am currently reconstructing a 300 + layer brochure file from scratch, which is a real blast.
I have spent a while searching for other people who have experienced this / possible solutions, but have come up with nothing. So, has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone have any potential solutions?
If it makes any difference, I have been running GridIron Flow. I didn't have these issues before installing the app. I have since uninstalled it.
Thanks very much in advance,
Fred

Never work on an original.
Sounds like you are converting your files from RGB to CMYK in the advanced dialog uncheck flatten image to preserve appearance

HT4623 I updated my phone yesterday to ios7.0.4 and have lost the mail icon along the bottom of the screen which sits with safari, phone and the music icon. Has anyone else experienced this?

my phone is an iphone 4 and after the update to ios7.0.4 yesterday, i have lost all email facility. I dont have any email icon or button across the bottom of the phone which sits next to the phone, safari and music buttons. Has anyone else experienced this?? Thanks in advance

Hi kylie,
The Mail app cannot be deleted, so it is there somewhere. Look at all of your other Home screens to see if you can find it.
If you cannot, do a spotlight search to see if it got accidently moved into a folder: swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the search bar - type in Mail - you should see the Mail icon in the search results. If it got moved into a folder, you will see the folder name on the right side. If it is in a folder, open the folder, and tap and hold the Mail icon until it wiggles, then slide it out and back to the place where you want it to be.
If that doesn' work, you can also go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will move all of your icons into the original order that they were on the phone. You may have to move stuff around after this to where you want it to be, but all of the Apple system apps will be on the first Home screen.
Cheers,
GB
