More iMac Woes

I posted a question earlier today after something really weird happened this morning. I pressed the power on button and it took about 10 seconds before I even heard the startup chime on my iMac - heard some really weird noises on startup as well almost like the hard drive or fan (I actually thought the iMac was dead and didn't expect it to even boot). To make a long story short, I did a PRAM Reset, a safe boot and also reset the SMU. Things seemed fine after that. I noticed when I got this 27-Inch iMac 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 at the end of February that it takes a little longer to start up from the actual time I press the power on button to the actual time I hear the startup chime. Maybe about 3 or 4 seconds or so. No big deal. I thought that this was just the way the new ones function. My older 3.06GHz 24-inch iMac was much faster in this regard.
This machine has been trouble-free until today. After doing the PRAM Reset, a safe boot and resetting the SMU, I'm now getting some really odd behaviour - my Magic Mouse has become very erratic, jumping all over the place, hard to select and drag files out of windows, almost like the iMac has become less responsive and "sluggish" or "sloppy" and I'm getting all sorts of strange messages in the console system log (my console system log has been as clean as a whistle since the day I got this iMac up until today):
On every startup:
Apr 13 18:17:30 myMac warmd[16]: [fetcheropenfile:936] open("/var/db/dyld/dyldshared_cache_x8664") => -1 (errno: 2)
On every few startups:

Apr 13 15:41:52 myMac kextd[10]: updated kernel boot caches
Some other messages as well - can't seem to find them at the moment.
And now I get this every time I run Firefox:
Apr 13 17:16:15 myMac /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin[149]: ATS AutoActivation: Disable Font ID 66381 (Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT) because it doesn't belong to family "Stone Sans Sem OS ITCTT".

What the... all this from just doing a PRAM Reset, a safe boot and resetting the SMU?
Is anyone familiar with these errors and is there something I else I can try to get this machine running smoothly again? I've run AHT, repaired permissions, verified the disk, ran Tech Tool Pro 5.0.7. No problems found.

What you did shouldn't cause those messages. Boot from your Install DVD holding down the 'C' key. When the Install panel loads, go to the menu bar to select Tools -> Disk Utility. Run Verify Permissions and Verify Disk; then run Repair Permissions and Repair Disk if required on your boot disk.
Hope you have a good backup of your disk in case it is beginning to fail.

  • More iMac sleep and overheating problems - any ideas?

    My iMac is about 2.5 years old now. It was working fine until the power supply had problems and was replaced under warranty. It then had could not mount DVDs or CDs and that was replaced under warranty, at the same time it was performing really, really slow, and then give me the spinning beachball for few hours straight before I had to turn off the machine by holding down the power button. The technician ignored that problem and I got my computer back partially fixed; the DVD drive was replaced and in his limited testing the computer did not lock up so he returned it to me.
    After a few days of use I then took the computer back again and he agreed the motherboard had to be replaced.
    While waiting for the motherboard to be replaced, I had extraordinary faith that my computer would come back in perfect working order: I ordered Leopard.
    Before upgrading to Leopard I decided to back everything up using SuperDuper so I could restore if I had problems with the upgrade. As a new father I have tons of photos and my son's iWeb page that I could not risk losing. My previous hardware issues made me act more prudently; I was lucky to have done that.
    Unfortunately the old motherboard was replaced with one that had more problems; after a few days of light use I upgraded to Leopard and was greeted with immediate kernel panics (grey screen of death). I restored from SuperDuper backup and tried again: same problem.
    Since I have lots of stuff on my system I decided to do a clean install: problem solved. I then started importing and consolidating my iPhoto libraries from my old G4 tower and my old "backup" system. The machine would overheat go to sleep after only importing a few photos or give me the spinning beach ball while typing in mail (when it was the only program open).
    After researching the situation one the internet I realized that many people have similar problems and I ended up installing "Temperature Monitor" to find out the temperature of my computer. The reported temperature of my computer is regularly hovering between 76 C - 85 C (169F - 185F). If the machine is idle the temperature is still very warm at 64 C (147F). I reset the SMU but that did not have an effect. I then found out the diagnostic test of the 4th LED that would turn on if the machine detected a heating problem. This test is intrinsically flawed since it can only be done with the case open so the heat can easily escape to the room (note both fans do work).
    I then took the machine in to serviced again. The problem would be easily solved if I lived in the United States or Canada, but I live in El Salvador. The only Apple Certified Technician (at least for warranty repairs that I know of) may be a little tired of trying to fix my computer (I can sympathize with him as I am tired of having it needing to be fixed).
    I dropped off the machine and 2 weeks later (I have learned to be patient for parts to come to this country) I called for an update. It turns out my computer is "fine". I went to pick it up and he performed the 4th LED test in an air conditioned room (with an open case obviously), copied a few files, opened some problems and it worked fine in his limited testing in an air conditioned building. He also said Leopard may have caused some problems.
    I have no faith in that computer right now so everything I do is on my 8 year old G4 "Gigabit Ethernet" tower. I have upgraded the CPU twice from 400 MHz to 800 MHz and then to 1.3 GHz over the years and put in 768 Mb of ram (as an aside I just ordered 512 Mb more ram as it is now my primary computer to edit video).
    I have videotaped the computer acting incredibly unresponsive and slow and am exporting it (currently 277 more minutes for 15 minute video) and overheating. It did not "sleep" when I had chance to tape it, may try again later (currently restoring 10.4.11 backup on iMac so technician cannot blame a clean install of Leopard).
    I called AppleCare and they were supportive with my problems and I hope to take in the computer again soon.
    Exasperated in El Salvador . . .

    Strongly suggest that you contact/call Customer Relations.
    Relay to them what you stated in your post. With all those repairs, you may be entitled to a new iMac.
    Sorry, I do not know the phone number of Customer Relations in your country. You may need to contact AppleCare & ask firmly & politely to be transferred to CR.
    Good luck!

  • Is it possible to use my snow leopard software for my macbook pro on an iMac or more iMacs?

    Here is the reason why i'm asking this question that sounds silly to me in a way...... i got the 2011 15.4inches macbook pro 2 weeks ago ..... it came with the last snow leopard os x but since the lion was out and i was eligible for an upgrade i got it striaght away for free in the apple store and did not use the snow leopard.... now here is the situation.... i was talking to a friend last night and he told me to give him the CD for the OS x snow leopard that he wanted to upgrade his imac to that....but i told him that i did not think that would work because in most cases i know even in windows os these kind of CDs are protected and are made for that pc it is installed on but he kept on insisting it would work and telling me how experienced he is in using a mac for 7 years and what ever cd protection happened to only pc and not mac(the funny thing is that he said he has experience but has never tried it before) so to cut the long story short i told him that i would get back to him....... so here i am again today asking a question that might even prove my thoughts right.....
    valuable community.....PLEASE IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE MY MACBOOK PRO OPERATING SYSTEM CD ON A FRIENDS IMAC?  because i dont believe it is possible because if it was, no one will ever upgrade to any os in a mac... they will just look for oppotunities to get it from a friend or family who has one.... hope im not the only one thinking that this question is a silly one lol....... please i really need your answers to show this experienced mac user of 7 years since he told me that i can install my os on more macs.... how possible it that...i dont know...
    Thanks in Advance for your replies

    Hi Chris,
    I'm guessing it's the "old" gray disc, which is usually hardware specific to your exact model. I'd keep it if I were you, you may want to install it.

  • Glossy 2011 iMac woes; please help me with plan B

    Apple and Aperture-loving photographer here... My 2006 iMac was limping along with Aperture 3 and I was looking forward to the iMac refresh, hoping for an anti-glare option.  Despite the lack of that, decided to try the new one anyway (27" 3.1GHz)  and after a week of adjusting lighting, position, calibration, I really just can't stand the gloss.  I've really tried.  I know all about the films but that's not an option for me.  I plan to return it before my 14 days are out, but I would like suggestions for another option.  I also have a 2008 Macbook Pro that I use for editing pics when I travel. I would just buy an external monitor for that, but as I can't go above 4 gb RAM on that, Aperture is pretty slow (but usable) there as well.  I don't mind that for the occasional travel editing, though.
    So, wanting to continue to work on a Mac, I can:
    #1 Get a Mac Pro and antiglare monitor.  But MacPro seems like overkill for me, since photo editing is the only really intense thing I do.  I am more of a photo artist than a business person.  Also, it would be hard to buy a non-Sandy Bridge/ Thunderbolt unit right now.
    #2 Upgrade my MBPro and get an antiglare monitor.  I've read suggestions here to do that, get the ssd option to run the os and Aperture.  But I worry about only 8 gb RAM expandability.  And I'm basically happy with the MBP I have now.   I wonder how hard it would be to sell and what I would get for it.
    #3 Get a 21" iMac, add SSD and RAM; and get a 2nd antiglare monitor.  I would probably get a 24".  I've never worked on 2 monitors, but am intrigued by the idea. But I wonder if the gloss still bother me when I move my photoshop and aperture tools over to the the iMac?  Or, if I turn off the iMac and use it just like a tower to power my external monitor, is that just silly? 
    #4 Your suggestions???
    Other things about my situation, fwiw:  I work with large RAW files from my Nikon D7000, masters stored on external firewire drives. I am not necessarily on a budget, but I don't like to spend more than I have to.  (eg, macpro option)  I like to buy good quality and use things well for a long time. 
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts! 
    Jacki

    Jacki-
    I too find glossy displays unacceptable. I used a Mac Pro with dual displays plus a 17" Macbook Pro for Aperture for the last five years because a Mac Pro with good graphics card used to be required for strong Aperture performance, and field work demands a laptop. However the two-boxes workflow is a PITA.
    Although the best pre-2011 iMacs and MBPs had strong CPUs and some had good GPUs they lacked i/o, leaving only Mac Pros for really strong Aperture workflows.
    Thunderbolt changes everything. Top MBPs are for the first time true desktop-replacement boxes and iMacs no longer lack i/o capability.
    So far, Aperture seems to run well in about 4 GB of RAM, so with other apps involved 8 GB is exactly appropriate. And although 15/17" MBPs only have two RAM slots they can be upgraded to 16 GB total as RAM prices continue to fall.
    SSD as a boot drive and for the Aperture Library is recommended. In my case I will add a second SSD or a fast hard drive into the optical drive slot.
    IMO 2011 MBP + external display is a great solution, which based on experience I consider much nicer for my workflow than desktop + laptop that I have been doing for 5 years. The top MBPs are now true DTR boxes. I say top MBPs because for Aperture the strongest available GPU is very desirable.
    Regarding displays IMO folks should personally compare matte versus glossy displays to choose what they prefer. Personally I chose a high-rez matte 17" MBP and for value external displays prefer anti-glare displays like the Nec 2490 or for cheaper the Viewsonic VP2365, but to each his or her own preferences.
    You mention adding things to an iMac, so I should note that 2011 iMac third-party drive upgrading is currently the subject of controversy. One should not necessarily plan on changing 2011 iMac drives except via Apple. See OWC commentary at: (sorry the hosts are editing out the link that I would put here, so google apple further restricts upgrades on new imacs).

  • More printer woes?

    Hi, everyone - I have looked through the thread and seen that printing problems are common with Leopard, but I've never seen anything like this! I was able to get the library's new iMac printing perfectly - I just had to be sure it was recognizing the printer it was actually attached to! (We have 4 computers in the teen room, linked to three hp 810s - the eMacs are networked).
    But, when I bring our lovely new macbook in there and hook it up to the very same printer the iMac uses, it simply won't print. I get a message saying there was a fatal error and the printer connection failed. All we can do is to save stuff onto a flash drive and bring it over to the iMac or one of the pcs (for adobe and word files) and print that way.
    We'd love to be able to print directly from the macbook. Why on earth can't we?!!

    What we've done is to unhook the usb cable from the iMac and hook it to the macbook. It's a stand alone printer, and we make sure the cable is firm. Then we open whatever file it is (we've tried in word and print shop, both of which are installed on both machines). And it won't print. We get the "fatal error" message I've described above. We can print those very same files from the iMac after we transfer them, though there I think I'm having the postscript problem. But the macbook simply refuses to connect to the printer at all. That's the problem.
    Again, there's nothing wrong with the usb cable, it's firmly plugged in, and it's a standalone printer.
    Thanks for your response. Can you think of anything I should try, like maybe looking for printer drivers on the macbook?
    Unless we had out of date drivers, I've never come across anything remotely like this in any earlier version of OS X - or any version of the mac OS. Printers just used to work! I'm very frustrated that this doesn't seem to be so any more.

  • Help! Imac to Imac, Ipad2 to imac woes

    Recently bought new Imac so arranged through local yoobee store to transfer files from old imac to new imac.
    Shock horrors, they call me to say old imac hard drive has "died" and they have since sent it away to see if files can be retrieved.
    I'm trying to be positive about this.
    I didn't have time to "deauthorize my old imac".
    Now I 've got music, movies and apps on my ipad2 which I want to transfer to my new imac itunes and I'm afraid to do in case I lose everything on the ipad2 as well? What do I do?

    Thanks for reply. Unfortunately I did not back up computer before handing it over. I just couldn't believe my trusty imac died on the "yoobee operating table".... staff insisted this happens all the time, I found it hard to accept... anyway Ilive in hope the Data Lab will find my files. What about files on the ipad that was not purchased through Itunes but was imported into itunes ie movies and music?

  • More WiFi woes

    Hope someone here can help.
    I have a 20" (white case) iMac running Leopard 10.5.1 and Windows XP Home under Bootcamp. I use bootcamp to play online games. Until I upgraded to leopard, using Bootcamp Beta I had no problems. Since upgrading my internet connection in windows fluctuates. It starts off at 11MBps and everything works fine, it then steps down to 5MBps and then eventually to 1MBps. At this point the wireless connection shows as very good, but if I am in game I get disconnected, and if I am not in game I lose access to the internet. Usually after a while the connection goes back up to 11MBps and I am able to carry on. Sometimes I have to 'Repair' the connection to force this to happen.
    I have tried updating the drivers from the leopard DVD.
    My connection is perfectly stable in MacOS.
    When I lose connection like this I cannot access the routers config pages either.
    I have gone through the threads on this forum, and I am currently trying the linksys 300N drivers suggested in one of the threads.
    I will post my findings after I have time to test them.

    The Linksys 300N drivers worked. I now connect at 24MBps in Windows and get no drop outs at all. Tested for about 6 hours so far over 3 days.

  • Are there any more iMacs with optical drives available in Apple stores?

    I want a computer that I can use DVDs with.  I have many and often order them so I will need to have an optical drive.  I don't want something that is not built in.  Are there any new left over inventory available of iMacs that previously had this feature?

    These > Refurbished iMac - Apple Store (U.S.) both have SuperDrives and carry the same warranty as a new iMac.

  • More camera woes (LCAB03VLNOD )

    After jumping through all kinds of hoops I have set up Windows 7 under VMWARE (6.05) on my Mac. The problem is that the 'live view' does not show any image. I have installed the ActiveX plugin and I am running DirectX 9.x and all that. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? thanks.

    Of course, right now I'm doing the web series both for creative fun and to get some road behind me. Since I'm weary of slinging code for a living, I wouldn't mind getting into the video world and following that path.
    Chief among the things I don't know about making a living creating video for others is how to find the business and what it pays. Offering up post services could be fun, but that leans towards commodity thinking these days since every yahoo with a computer and some software (you know, like me) is offering post.
    I would think that the ability to produce final product for clients would allow for more value add and perhaps make it easier to stand out a bit from at least some of the competition.
    Ultimately, however, it all comes down to a) where is the business b) what does it pay and c) how do people go about getting the work?

  • More iPlayer woes

    I've now had iPlayer for 10 days or so and I've not managed to watch a single programme without it freezing and kicking me out.  I then have to start over, and the fast-forward is woeful at getting back to the right place.
    I've given it a chance and tried to persevere with iPlayer, I really have, but it simply doesn't work.  I'm now just going to have to record everything on BBC as I really can't be bothered putting the effort into trying to use a system that is quite frankly, rubbish.
    Someone in a previous thread mentioned that iPlayer was a retrograde step and I wholeheartedly agree.

    I have to say I'm becoming increasingly less impressed with Iplayer on BT the more I use it.  My main reasons why are:
    Freezing mid programme - this is happening more and more now it's been fully rolled out.  It normally sorts itself out in seconds
    Picture quality - frankly it's awful, particularly on a fast-moving image.  Examples of this I have seen are the animations on 'Total Wipeout' and crowd scenes on T in the Park / Glastonbury coverage where it appears to skip frames resulting in a 'jerky' image
    No resume option - the lack of ability to resume programmes from where you last got to is a big miss in my view when compared with the browser version of Iplayer.  Fast forward is unpredicatable so it's a pain to get back to where you were
    No 'Last watched' option - which is available on the PC version of iplayer.  Would help with the resume option previously mentioned too
    The thing is I don't know who's in control of this version of Iplayer - whether it's BT, the BBC or a bit of both so who do you go to.  Apologies if all this has been covered in other threads but I thought I'd try and get all my concerns down in one place.  It's a shame as Iplayer on BT Vision should be brilliant and I have no doubt it will be in the long run.

  • More JDBC Woes

    I am plugging along on this Foreign JDBC driver project (IBM AS/400 Connectivity). Through the answer of my previous question I have been able to create my Entity/View beans. When I try and test them by creating a module and using the "test" menu option through the IDE environment I get the error "No Suitable Driver".
    Is there a way to get around this? For kicks I created a JSP application using this business component to test. When I click on the items I get a JDBC connectivity error of some kind.
    I am fairly impressed with JDeveloper and would like to continue to use. If I can get through this then I will be convinced.
    Thanks Again

  • More Airport Woes

    Hi Folks, ive just registered in an attempt to solve the mystery of the unresponsive airport on my 2008/2009 ally unibody macbook.
    Please go easy on me as this has seen me very much "in at the deep end" regarding the inner workings of my Mac
    Like many others i am getting a situation where the "fan" in the top bar shows empty indicating Airport is switched off and then it won't switch on. After a lot of forum searching i managed to get it working again by removing the 3 Airport preference files, clearing the trash and restarting, as suggested on here and another forum. But this only works for a finite period of time, sometimes 36 hours, sometimes 36 seconds! every other suggestion has had no effect (PRAM? reset, SMC reset, deleting automatic location in preferences)
    Can anyone tell me if im missing something as it appears to my untrained mind that the files are fine when OSX rebuilds them but they quickly get corrupted, necessitating yet another delete.
    Many thanks in advance

    Ok... I am thinking... only ten min?... hmmm... it should be on all the time.... ok... i think i have a reason... yes you are correct that if the network is reset from your computer if you delete the network settings, then re add it. It could also be the router I am using an airport extreme - time capsule (TC) but all routers are pretty much the same. But lets focus on the computer, and not mess with the router unless we really need to. I like Lion, but you are in constant use of a track pad on your computer - which I dont mind - and I own a laptop. The direction of the gestures on the trackpad threw me at first, and I had to change the default settings in the system prefs. There are a lot of under the hood improvements at the same time there are some liked and not liked visual improvements (but I am open minded and leaning more to liking it and learning new things all the time). If you dont have it, and thinking of getting it make sure your your computer has at least a system that has a core 2 duo processor. I have 3 gigs of ram on mine, I am not sure what the min for ram is but being the system has more under the hood muscle - I tend to (most time) keep my computer at my desk on a Griffin stand but some time use it on the bed or couch or at the dinner table. The machine runs the same maybe some warmer, which does not bother me. I understand the processors made after the core 2 duo are able to handle the muscle of the OS easier. I also religiously back up my computer using the built in hard drive in my router, but many of my friends just carry with them an external hard drive that they connect at least once a day and we all use the program Time Machine in the system prefs. If you have any applications that use the Rosetta archichetecher - they will not work anymore. I knew this was coming since 10.4.11 so it is not a bad thing. Apple is going all 64 bit and is 99 percent there (the third party apps have to catch up- although most applications have headed there  already) but the hardware is already 64 bit. Everything has to be 64 bit because the next processors ten to 15 years down the line are going to be 128 bit (just like the gaming computers revolutiionezed) To check your apps go to http://roaringapps.com/ If there not listed then your apps will not work. I use Office 2008 and I have not had any problems even though they say there may be few minor ones. I also use a lot iWorks '11 and more and more are using the latter. Overall I do like Lion, but see if you could play with it at a store before you buy it (it is similar in looks to snow lepard - some - but some people are complaining for nonsense or in their minds big reasons especially since the OS X (Lion) is a power horse, and it also has some getting use to as well as some under the hood changes are going on for the first week you have the computer
    ... Oh i looked for the system profiler but i think it is now called system Infomation in Lion ( not sure) ok ( it may not be the right reason for your dilema but ... try this go system prefs and and click network, click the advanced button check to see if you have to networks by the same name. If so delete one or both of them under the first tab (prefered networks - its the first tab for me). Also under the . TCP/IP tab click the Renew DHCP button. If this does not work, try resetting network again - delete the location, go to automatic, then go to assist me then hit apply... let me know. I am curious.

  • More Xserve woes...

    Since I'm asking about the SATA card... I would like to know if anyone else has heard of the reason why it went out.
    Apparently, there had been a problem with certain Hitachi hard drives in the G5 Xserve (ours were purchased in 2004) frying the SATA cards when hot-swapping. We have two identical servers (itchy and scratchy) that have both lost the SATA cards. Scratchy began making a long, slow beeping when it got to the spinning gear in the start-up process, even when starting from the CD (at first it would run from the CD, while beeping, but finally wouldn't start at all). Before I realized what was happening, I swapped the start-up disk with Itchy and guess what? Itchy started doing the same thing!!
    I have Scratchy running right now off of a firewire drive, without the SATA card installed, and he is perfectly happy. I'm going to replace the cards and possibly the drives, but I would just like to know if anyone has heard of this phenomenon or if I am just an anomaly!

    Trent Evans-
    This particular option does not fall into my area of scientific speciality.
    Tis a bummer though when troubleshooting and you move the trouble, no?
    Certainly someone with more knowledge about this will have some input to share.

  • More mail woes

    Hi all-
    I have been having a great deal of pain trying to get the "mail" to work on my IPT. I use Charter and have got to the point when I press the mail button, a screen comes up that says "Inbox". The little spinning wheel at the top spins awhile then I get the error message The connection to the server "mail.charter.net failed. If I press "Inbox" I get a message that says "load 25 more messages.... but no messages are ever displayed. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks-
    DMitzelfeldt

    Hi!
    If you are using "other" on the IPT for MAIL then you are probably going thru the same frustration I was with the "connection to server" failure message right? So I called both Apple and my ISP and neither could figure it out, Apple said it just won't work with my ISP, case closed. Not so fast I figured it on my own, here's what I did and it works fine now:
    1. Connect IPT to your PC
    2. In iTunes go to the INFO tab on the IPT screen
    3. Scroll down to "Advanced" and check "Mail Accounts" on.
    4. Sync your IPT
    Disconnect IPT
    Now check your Mail settings on the IPT, there should be one account.
    Here's what I have and strange as it seems it works fine.
    POP Account Information
    Name: My Name
    Address: My e-mail address
    Description: e-mail address again
    Incoming Mail Server
    Host Name pop.ISPNAME.ca
    User Name: My ISP User Name
    Password: My Password (******)
    Outgoing Mail Server
    Nothing is filled in for any of those options - all blank
    Advanced
    Everything is off!
    Try that and good luck!

    I thought that if I synced a little more frequently I could avoid some of the problems iTunes throws up (eg wanting to wipe my iPad clean for a laugh).
    I plugged it in today and it's just spent ages transferring gigabytes of apps to my Mac .... that are already on my Mac and have been for ages!
    Why is it doing that???

    "If possible, I'd like a solution that doesn't require reinstalling iTunes or updating iTunes, because I get an installation error message with iTunes whenever I try to do that (great program)."
    That's not exactly a realistic expectation. Try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:

    Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:

    If not mentioned in the articles, make a new user account in Windows XP and see if iTunes opens. That will tell you if there's something funky in your main account (if the new user works), or if you have a system-wide issue.
