Need help w/ G4 Power Mac PLEASE!

I bought a used & ancient I know Mac for my kids to use for school project ect. It is a G4 Power Mac. It came w/ all the originial cd's. The guy told me they had been using it mainly his kids as well but he took everything off it & cleaned it to original. I am trying to reinstall the software. When I put the 1st disc in & I followed the instructions of restarting the computer & holding down the C key. It gets to this blue screen that looks like a little man holding a sword all over it & nothing comes up. Any help appreciated! THANKS!

Hello,
Could it be a spinning gray radian?

HT3096 Someone please help, I'm a broke a$$ college student who needs help with a power Mac G5

Im considering buying a power mac G5 but only cuz its all i can afford and i got an idea about hooking ut up to my tv but i would want to be able to use a wireless keyboard and traction pad but i did some reserch online and found out i need a airport extreme with 2.0 EDR to enable bluetooth which is a requirement for the wireless keyboard. Where can I find the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card? There dosent seem to be any place online that sells it and lets say I do install the airport extreme card and enable wifi on a power Mac G5, will I be able to use a apple wireless keyboard with it? And just a side question, for the age of the computer what OS should I have installed, I'm not to femilliar with apple software, the only apple products I have are old iPods n a 4s. Oh and I would mainly use it for going online, a little bit of vid editing, watching YouTube vids, homework and uploading and listing to music, I would love to wirelessly sync my iPhone to the power Mac wirelessly.

Need help estimating processing power required to support new process

Hi,
I am putting up a new server spec for a new project. I need help estimating processor power I need.
Here are, in short, the steps of the main process:
- Load the data:
Incoming file contains 160 mln rows. The SIZE of this file is 250 GB. The file has about 60 columns, out of that I upload 50 into my table.
Record length is 1500 bytes, in the table.
- Validation/calculations:
After the upload I validate EACH row in this table against 20 rules that are defined in the RULES table.
It is all math, like this column plus that column must be equal to this number, and validate the third column against this number.
- Output stage:
Records that pass validation go to one table, those that didn't go to the other table.
Then the first table (with good records) is extracted to a file. Those from the "wrong" table are also get inserted into "review" table
This whole process should take about 5-6 hrs.
This file contains 6 month of data.
Some times, I will run validation against 2 year worth of data, means validate two "annual" tables, each one is 500 GB in size. According to the requirements, this process should take no more than 1 day.
For this process I write hardware spec for a new server.
I have a hard time figuring out how much processor power I need for this process? to validate this much data in that much time.
Is there any formula or a guideline to tell what processor I need? I was looking at this one, but I wish I could estimate before I buy and try (and possibly fail, and have a biiiiig problems)
Intel Xeon E5-2640 (6 core, 2.50 GHz, 15MB, 95W)
Number of processors: 2
RAM: 16GB
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Help needed to run a power Mac ap on Intel Mac.

Hi, I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station that ran happily on my old Quicksilver Power Mac. Now I have upgraded to a Mac pro machine running Tiger, the 'Weatherlink' software won't work. Davis, a main player in scientific technologies have not upgraded their Mac software (unbelievably!)
Will Rosetta help here? .... or do I need to get a P.C?
Hope someone can advise.
Thanks
Lunasa

PPC apps run transparently on Intel Macs, however, in your case it may be a matter of incompatibility. The software is simply not compatible with the current versions of OS X. This has nothing to do with Rosetta. You would have the same problem on your QuickSilver were you to upgrade to Tiger.
If you transferred the software using Migration Assistant, then try reinstalling the software on the Intel Mac (but first be sure you fully uninstall the transferred app.)

My iPhone turned off all of sudden and doesn't want to turn on again i need HELP ASAP!!! please

while i was on google today my iPhone 4 turned off all of a sudden and only turns on with the wall charger i really need my phone so can some please help!!!!! i reseted done alot and still nothing please help!!!

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears (about 15-20 seconds).
If this does not work, plug the device into a wall outlet for atleast 20 minutes and then try a reset.

NEED HELP WITH MICROSOFT office/Mac/hacking.

NEED HELP: We installed Parrallels, then Windows 8.1 and go to install Office 365 and the computer won't accept it. We call Microsoft and they tell us our system has been hacked at the time we installed Windows 8.1. HELP!!!!! I have got to get may computer fix NOW>>>> I have a bid due in 2 hours and can't get office on my computer and now have a hacked computer..........NOT HAPPY WITH MICROSOFT. Please can someone help

Only Microsoft can help you get a Microsoft product working. But if what you need is software than can do most of what the various modules of MS Office can do, check out LibreOffice, which is an MS Office compatible Office suite, can run directly on the Mac (no Windows necessary), and is free. Just be sure that if the bid will be an Office document which you'll send to someone else, that you save the document in an MS Office-compatible format so they can open and read it.

Need help buying ibook from ebay please :-)

Hi there
I am rather new to mac but I am getting on with it well. But at the moment I have a imac and g4 power mac which are taking up abit of space so I would like to get something smaller so a ibook would be good. I don't really want to buy one new as I am not a heavy mac user but would like it to be nice a nippy with most of the bits. Can anyone put me the right direction and tell me what I need to go for please.
Many thanks
Daryll

The two main things to look out for:
1. Are the original disks included? This is important for troubleshooting issues with your new Mac or maybe doing an erase & install right from scratch. This would also include things like the Apple Hardware Test that isn't available from a retail copy of Mac OS X.
2. What is the warranty situation? Is the computer less than a year old so it's still covered by the original warranty? If so, you could purchase an AppleCare Protection Plan for it and extend the warranty to three years from the original purchase date. If it has an AppleCare Protection Plan, then the current owner can send a letter to AppleCare and have the plan transfered to you. If the computer is more than a year old and doesn't have an AppleCare Protection Plan, then you may have no choice but to pay for any repairs that may come up.

Need Help with new site glitches PLEASE!!!

I need help trouble shooting a website. The site is
www.farrowandwatkins.com. Nav buttons on Mac they display correctly
which is aligned at top and bottom of content to left on Home page.
However, when viewed on PC, the buttons spread to fill the
distance of the "Patients" Page. All the pages spread to this
length also, but are not suppose to.
Nav buttons have padding of 10 on bottom, except last one.
Please help if you can

First guess would be that there doesn't seem to be a fixed
height or width on the cell for the 'patients' button.

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

Hello frnds,
I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
My approach is like..
1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
START--> pressed
2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
     read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
     Step 2.. continously..
3. STOP--> pressed
     until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
Question is:
1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
---master.java---------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.*;
import...
public class Master {
public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
//create connection pool here
while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
// set values of variables
// select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
execute selected slave program
// check for loop exit value
} // end while loop
System.out.println("Program Complete");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e);
} finally {
if (rSet1 != null)
try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
connection.close();
-------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Need help fixing my Power Supply (delta 710W)

My Power Mac G5 had been acting strange lately in the form of not turning until I waited a day after turning it off. Thankfully, I have determined the cause to be the power supply after using the apple hardware test and reading other posts. When I press the power button before waiting, it clicks twice and turns off. If I do wait, the computer works normally (im actually typing on this computer right now!). Given the fact that I am a financially impaired diy technician, I want to fix it my self. Do be aware that I will be taking the necessary precautions while working on this thing because I am aware of the danger it involves. I think it could be a VERY basic issue, so any ideas would be helpful. Thank you.

Have you tried measuring the voltages of the PSU?
