My G5 is running so slowly now and is in urgent need of an upgrade. I'm running 10.5.8 - is Mavericks out of the question?

I've had a look at the mavericks spec and it looks like I can't upgrade directly to that. Any one know what I can upgrade to - if anything? My mac has 3.5GB and is running OSX 10.5.8. Thanks for your help.

Yes. Mavericks is out of the questions seeing as how anything beyond 10.6.8 requires an Intel processor which your G5 Mac doesn't have.

    I have a php module which runs fine in Firefox and all other browsers but not Safari. It always run twice - I see a small ? in upper right corner which is causing it to run twice but NO idea why? I read it MAY have something to do with am image it cannot load but I see them all loaded.  Help - thank you

    Could you share a link to the page?
    Seeing it in context and in our browsers is much easier to debug.
    If not, make sure to run the validator here The W3C Markup Validation Service and clear out any problems. HTML errors, especially structural ones, will cause all kinds of display problems in various browsers/versions/platforms.

  • Can I run Acrobat 9 Pro and X Pro, can't afford plugin upgrades

    Can I run Acrobat 9 Pro and X Pro
    Can't afford plugin upgrades from 9 to X

    If you wish to run both the version on the same machine. It's not a supported configuration as Version 9 and X Pro share the same namespace and you may run into issues which would be hard to fix.
    I would recomend to use single version. Let me know, if you need more information.

  • My wife and I want to swap her 4s for my 4 while a take a short trip out of the country.  We use the same email address for itunes but different for email.  Can we just change our phone numbers and email addresses so we get our own messages?

    My wife and I want to swap her iphone 4s for my iphone 4 while I take a short trip out of the country.  We use the same itunes account but have different email accounts.  Can we just change our phone numbers with our carrier and change email addresses on our phones so we get correct messages, with out disturbing our other apps?

    The email is simple. Just delete her email acoount on her iPhone and configure your account into the phone and then do the same for her on your phone.
    The harder issue is that to switch the cellular phone service you will need to switch the SIM cards and the two phones do not use the same size SIM card.

  • I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6 and its running really slowly now. Please help

    Also my proximity sensor has stopped functioning. Any idea what could be the problem?

    Perhaps you should check. Then maybe you should follow standard troubleshooting protocols before asking for help...
    reboot the phone.
    Restore the phone.
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    If you're having problems with the proximity sensor, remove any case or screen saver you have installed. They can interfere with the sensor.

  • I have an issue that I cannot open Firefox, and I get the message "Firefox is already running..." and it says I need to close it or restart my computer.

    There is a page on the support site that attempts to adress the issue...but it never says how to fix it. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
    Apparently there is a problem with the "profile", and on this support page, it has a link about working with the profile...if you go to that page, is tells you where the profile is, and the many things it does...but it does NOT say actually how to fix this problem. It tells you to go the the Help tab at the top of the browser, then select "Troubleshooting", and then under Profile, select "Open Containing folder"...which brings up the folder with all the files...but from there...it doesn't say what to do. I also have gone to the Start tab at the bottom of Windows (Windows XP--I've got Firefox 3.6.9) then Run and opened the profile box...but there are no instructions on what to do to fix the problem. I can open Firefox only by going to Crtl-Alt Delete and opening the process tab and ending the Firefox process...but this is not a fix. Help! thanks...

    You need "sysinternal's process explorer", it is free and can replace the Microsoft process explorer, that you get by "CTRL+ALT+DELETE". Either program will allow you to kill the instances of FF that didn't die as they should have, when you closed them. Sysinternal is easier to use, it is a graphic display with many options. Do not push "CTRL+ALT+DELETE" twice unless you want to reboot, that is its default behaviour under Microsoft.

  • I have a macbook air that is running 10.6.8 and it will not connect to my 4s that is running ios 6.1.3 and apple is telling me that the two aren't compatible?  The air wont recognize the phone when it is plugged in through USB.  So am i just screwed?

    Im just wondering if this is the case?  it just doesnt make any sense to me.  These aren't two very old products so it just seems to strange.

    I'm baffled.  The current iTunes (11.0.4) runs on OS X 10.6.8.  If I were you, I would download the current iTunes:
    iTunes 11.0.4
    ... and see if that solves your issue.
    ... but note your MacBook Air late 2010 can run Mountain Lion, so that would undoubtedly solve the problem for you, whether or not simply loading iTunes does.

  • My iMac is running very slowly. How can I speed it up?, my iMac is running very slowly. How can I speed it up?

    Every day my iMac seems to run slower and slower. I have cleaned up the disk using Space Gremlin but it is still unbearably slow. Does anyone know of a simple solution?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    close apps you don't use if a lot of background apps are running it will slow it down
    and you could also inc the memory installed
    or replace the harddisk with a ssd disk

  • What and How do I need to set up inorder to run JSP on Win NT4 server

    I'm a newer on JSP. I need to get JSP run on win NT 4. That is the only server available for me. I'm wondering that the tomcat could work with IIS. If not, what do I need? Anybody, please help me.
    chayawee

    Tomcat can be configured to work with IIS or it can run standalone.
    For Tomcat IIS Configuration see:
    http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/tomcat-iis-howto.html
    You may want to look at Resin (http://www.caucho.com/products/resin/) as an alternative to Tomcat.

  • HT204053 i had an iphone that i cancelled and now have an ipad, and want to use the old address? Is this out of the question?

    My husband has a new ipad and prev had an iphone, how do we use the old apple id

    The apple ID can refer to either the iTunes store or iCloud accounts. I'll assume you mean iCloud. Go to Settings>iCloud. Scroll to bottom of page and enter your ID and password for iCloud.

  • Why my Tecra M1 runs very slowly?

    Hi all,
    I have a Tecra M1 PM 1.6 GHZ. I worked pefectly couple months ago. However, I runs very slowly now even if I re-installed Windows XP and deinstalled all application software.
    Does anyone know what could be a season for this problem?
    Thanks.

    Firstly, I found that there was noise which was supposed to come from HDD or cooling fan two weeks ago. My laptop worked for 20 minutes then it shut down and turned on automatically. After 2 times, I found that Windows started very slowly (It took more than 10 minutes for PM 1.6GHz) and the laptop only worked for about 3 minutes.
    I have sent my laptop to a Toshiba Service Centre 2 weeks for checking. The technical say that all hardware components (HDD, memory, cooling fan)were OK but CPU ran at only 600 MHz. He updated BIOS and my laptop seemed to worked well again.
    When I got the laptop back and noticed that the CD burning software (DragandDrop)did not work. I reinstalled this application software. Unfornately, I did not help.
    As the last resource, I reinstalled Windows by using Recovery CDs. I also downloaded BIOS ver. 1.4 from Toshiba website and upgraded. The Dragand drop is working now BUT the laptop runs much slowly than it did months ago. Especially, when I activate any application (e.g. MS office), I hear "ec, ec , ec" noise from HDD.
    Before buying this laptop, I thought that Tecra is one of the most stable and powerful laptops but I was not lucky to get a wrong one.
    What should I do

  • My all reports are running very slow now, I am using Reports 6i?

    Dear Friends,
    My all reports are running very slow now, I am using Reports 6i. A few months ago there speed is better. Please suggest me the solution of this problem.
    Best regards,
    Shahzad

    Get statspack/AWR running against your database and analyze the reports. 15 minutes interval between snaps should be enough.
    That should give you a clue as to what is going wrong in your database.
    Since you are saying that the reports speed was better a few months ago, it is possible that you are suffering from "data growth".

  • My iTunes parent control keeps giving me the same error message. "Parent control preferences could not be unlocked. You may need to reinstall iTunes. "I have uninstalled ant reinstalled iTunes that 4 time now and I still can't get on. Can anyone help?

    My iTunes parent control keeps giving me the same error message. “Parent control preferences could not be unlocked. You may need to reinstall iTunes. “I have uninstalled ant reinstalled iTunes that 4 time now and I still can’t get on. Can anyone help?

    Experimental advice ... but, plausibly, the preference files containing the parental control setting may be damaged. If so, removing the iTunes preference files may help.
    For the basic technique, see the "Remove iTunes preference files" section from the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document:
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    To see those folders, you'll need to first set your PC to view hidden files and folders
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Prior to doing the preference file rebuilds: Best to make a note of any custom preferences you have set up for your iTunes. (Rebuilding pref files returns preferences to their defaults ... so you'll likely have to set some of those custom preferences up again from scratch.) Also make a note of any third-party plugins/add-ons you have installed. You may have to reinstall those after the rebuilds.
    Things to watch out for during the rebuilds
    Rebuilding the preference files in the \Local\ location causes the iTunes license agreement to run. So you'll need to agree to that again.
    Rebuilding the preference files in the \Roaming\ location causes the iTunes Setup Assistant to run. When prompted to do so, do not add files to your iTunes library. (Otherwise you'll end up with a library full of duplicates.)
