New to the inner workings of apples...

I have a Power G5 running Version 10.4.10 / 2.1 Ghz with 1 GB of Ram. Initially it was 512 and added an additional 512 (which was what I was told the most that I could add...) I am having some issues with my program freezing when running CS2 - Illustrator. I'm not sure if it's merely because of the program I'm utilizing? Or perhaps my husband likes to play a few on-line games, could those be running in the background? Is it possible to clean up my RAM applications ? If so, how do I check what's running behind the scenes? Is it OK to expand the RAM. I was told the most I could add would be the 512 that's already been added. Not sure why because I see others discussing additional 1 and 2 GB sticks. Any help to a someone new to this all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi amygallagher and welcome to the discussion boards. First things first....none of the G5 Power Macs run at 2.1 Ghz. They run 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.3, 2.5 & 2.7. Under the blue apple in the upper left hand corner choose About this Mac and see what it says there. All G5's will accomodate at least 4 gig of ram and CS3 is a ram hog, too little ram could be causing your freezes. But the problem could also be software or file realted. Try starting up from your original install disc and running Disk Utility from the Utilities menu ro repair your hard disk.
To see what applications and processes are running start Activity Monitor. You'll find it in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Let us know how things are going.

  • Some questions on the inner workings of Stellent IBPM 7.6

    Hello,
    I'm having some trouble figuring out a Stellent IBPM 7.6 installation at one of our customers' sites.
    I must admit that I am completely new to IBPM, but since our customer was unable to find anyone who still supported this software,
    they have asked me to find out whether it is possible to make a small change.
    They are using it to archive tiff files + metadata (in text files) exported by Kofax.
    I was unable to find any documentation on version 7.6, but I was able to find an administrator's guide of Oracle Imaging and Process Management 7.7, which I have been using so far.
    So here's the thing;
    I've largely been able to figure out how the whole Filer Server works, how it's configured, how applications are defined in the Application Definition editor,
    how meta data and image files get stored based on the defined indexes/fields and storage classes,
    how galleries are made, how users are linked to them and how searches can be built using the Search Builder.
    So far so good. I understand how the current setup is functioning.
    But what I haven't been able to find in the documentation that I posses,
    is how the system deals with any changes made to this setup.
    More specifically: changes made to the definition of indexes and fields.
    The main questions I have at this moment are:
    - How does the database, specified under "output" in the application definition editor, get constructed?
    Does this have to be done manually? And do you just have to name tables and columns exactly as you specify them in the Application Definition?
    Or will a new table automatically be created when I define a new application?
    I assume it will, because I noticed that the names of the tables in the database are <Application Name>+<Index Name>.
    But I haven't been able to find any piece of information on this, and I don't want to base any actions on assumptions.
    - Is it possible to add a field to an application that has already been online and filed?
    And also in this case; what happens to the output database? Do columns get added automatically or is this a manual step?
    I hope that despite the age of this software, someone will still be able to answer these question or point me to some documentation that I have missed.
    Kind regards,
    Wouter

    To answer the questions:
    #1   An interrupt service routine (ISR) running a lower IRQL may be interrupted by another ISR running at a higher level.
    #2   Having never heard of a thread interrupt, all I can say here is that a thread may be pre-empted for a lot of reasons.
    #3   An ISR does not have to schedule a DPC unless it needs to do work that it cannot do at high IRQL.
    #4   Assuming that the Write and IOCTL are on seperate queues, yes you need a a lock to protect shared resources.
    #5   As the name implies kernel dispatcher objects allow scheduling (i.e. dispatching of another thread), while things like spinlocks do not. 
    #6    Timers are just another dispatching object, i.e. one can wait on them the same way one waits on a mutex or a semaphore.  A WDF TIMER is basically a wrapper around a regular timer to take care of some of the housekeeping (particularily
    with respect to stopping the driver etc)
    #7     If a routine is running at DISPATCH_LEVEL you are limited to spin locks for synchronization. You can with a zero timeout check the status of a kernel dispatcher object.   In general, routines like this should be
    designed to only use spinlocks.
    #8    An arbitrary thread is just that, it may be a thread in any process. Basically a currently running thread is grabed and used to run the interrupt so that the scheduler which has overhead and is not designed to run at interrupt level
    IRQL's does not need to run.

  • How to select rows in the inner JTable rendered in an outer JTable cell

    I have wrriten the following code for creating cell specific renderer - JTable rendered in a cell of a JTable.
    table=new JTable(data,columnNames)
    public TableCellRenderer getCellRenderer(int row, int column)
    if ((row == 0) && (column == 0))
    return new ColorRenderer();
    else if((row == 1) && (column == 0))
    return new ColorRenderer1();
    else
    return super.getCellRenderer(row, column);
    ColorRenderer and ColorRenderer1 are two inner classes, which implement TableCellRenderer to draw inner JTable on the outer JTable cell, having 2 rows and 1 column each.
    Now what is happening the above code keeps executing continously, that is the classes are being initialised continously, inner JTables are rendered (drawn) continously, and this makes the application slow after some time. It throws java.lang.OutOfMemoryException.
    WHY IS IT SO??? I can't understand where's the bug..
    Any advice please???
    Moreover i want selections in inner tables and not on outer table, how can this be possible.
    I am working on this since a long time but have not yet found a way out...

    With your help i have overcome the problem of continous repeatition.
    The major problem which I am facing is, in selecting rows in the inner rendered JTables.
    I have added listener on outer JTable which select rows on the outer JTable, hence the complete inner JTable which being treated as a row, gets selected.
    The thing is i need to select the rows of inner rendered JTables,not the outer JTable.
    How to go about it??
    I have even added listener to inner rendered JTables, but only first row of every table gets selected.
    Please help....
    Thanks in advance.

  • Calling functions of the inner class in .java code file

    Hello,
    I created a .java code file in Visual J#.Net and converted it into
    the application by adding the "public static void main(String args[])"
    function.
    I have created the two classes one extends from Applet, and the other
    extends from Frame. The class which I inherited from the Frame class becomes
    the inner class of the class extended from the Applet. Now How do I
    call the functions of the class extended from Frame class - MenuBarFrame
    class. the outline code is
    public class menu_show extends Applet
    ------init , paint action function---------
    public class MenuBarFrame extends Frame
    paint,action function for Menu
    public static void main(String args[])
    applet class instance is created
    instance of frame is created
    Menu , MenuBar, MenuItem instance is created
    and all these objects added
    I have Created MenuBarFrame class instance as
    Object x= new menu_show().new MenuBarFrame
    ????? How to call the functions such as action of MenuBarFrame class - what
    should be its parameters??????
    }

    Here's how I would do it:
    interface Operation {
        public int op(int y);
    class X {
        private int x;
        public X(int x) {
            this.x = x;
        private class Y implements Operation {
            public int op(int y) {
                return x+y;
        public Operation createOperation() {
            return new Y();
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            X app = new X(17);
            Operation f = app.createOperation();
            System.out.println(f.op(-11));
    }Your code, however, has some serious "issues". You typically don't
    instantiate an applet class -- that's the job of the applet viewer or Java plugin
    your browser is using. If you instantiate the applet directly, you're going
    to have to supply it an AppletStub. Do you really want to go that way?
    Again, use an applet viewer or browser, or better yet, why write applets at all?

  • How to access the int variable in the inner class

    hi all,
    i can't access the int variable in the inner class. can any one help me
    int count = 0;
    MouseMoveListener mouseMove = new MouseMoveListener() {
         public void mouseMove(MouseEvent e) {
              count1++;
              System.out.println(count);
    };how to access count variable
    thanks

    for this how can i access the countIf the count variable is a local variable you can't access it from within the
    inner class. Make it a member variable of the outer class instead:public class Outer {
       private int count;
       MouseMoveListener mouseMove= new MouseMoveListener() {
          public void mouseMove(MouseEvent me) {
             count++;
             System.out.println(count);
    }Alternatively, if you don't need that count variable anywhere else, you
    could simply make it a member variable of the inner class itself:public class Outer {
       MouseMoveListener mouseMove= new MouseMoveListener() {
          private int count;
          public void mouseMove(MouseEvent me) {
             count++;
             System.out.println(count);
    }kind regards,

  • Can I use the inner class of one containing class by the other class

    Can I use the inner class of one containing class by the other class in the same package as the containing class
    eg I have a class BST which has inner class Enumerator. Can I use the inner class from the other class in the same pacckage as BST?

    Inner classes do not share the namespace of the package of the containing class. Also they are never visible to other classes in the same package.Believe what you want, then, if you're going to make up your own rules about how Java works. For people interested in how Java actually works, here is an example that shows why that assertion is false:
    package com.yawmark.jdc;
    public class Outer {
         public class Inner {
    }And...
    package com.yawmark.demo;
    import com.yawmark.jdc.*;
    public class Demo {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              assert new Outer().new Inner() != null;
    }~

  • New to the WRT300N - Firmware & help needed

    Hi. First off, I apologize that this is going to be very long.  I really hope someone will take the time to read it all and give me some help.
    I posted about a week ago about problems with my WRT54GS.  All of a sudden with no changes, the wireless stopped working.  I tried for a few days to fix it with no luck.  I decided to order the WRT300N (I figured if I was going to buy a new one, I'd upgrade and this is the one that Linksys recommended).
    I should mention that after ordering the new router, the wireless on the old one started working again but it wasn't working normal.  The signal quality had always pretty much been excellent and now it started going up & down but at least it was staying connected.
    The new router came today.  I disconnected the old one and connected the new one and everything went smoothly.  Both my wired & wireless computers worked great.  Less than an hour later, the wireless disconnected.  I went to view available networks and my network (I use our last name) was gone.  I shut off the laptop and it still didn't see the network.  So I started looking at the router settings just to be sure that nothing had changed.  About 15 minutes later, the laptop found the network and connected again.  The signal quality dropped to good and has stayed there ever since.
    Just for information, when the laptop is on the desk (which it is 90% of the time), it's only about 5 feet away from the router.  I have not tried to take the laptop out of the room yet.  Also more information if it helps.  I have a large "U" shaped desk.  My monitor for my desktop sits in the middle.  On either side are the speakers.  To my left (in front of me) is a UPS (plugged into this UPS is the tower, monitor, speakers, cradle for my mouse, modem & router), then the tower (I can't put it on the floor because I have physical issues that would prevent me from accessing it there).  Now if I turn my chair to the left, the desk has an upper level.  This is where my DSL modem & the router are.  They are on the end near where the computer is on the lower level.  This is the same setup we were using before.  Old router worked great for almost 2 years with signal strength at excellant on the laptop.  It just started acting up all of a sudden.  If I go back to facing center and then turn to the right, that's where my husband's laptop sits.  The only other equipment there is a calculator and a lamp and on the floor is another UPS which has his laptop (which has an Intel wireless G card in it), a laser printer, and the above mentioned calculator & lamp plugged in.
    Prior to today, I had the Logitech MX3100 keyboard & mouse set.  I had purchased a new mouse (Logitech MX Revolution).  So I was using the keyboard from the MX3100 with the new mouse and everything was fine running that way for weeks before the problem kicked in.  So I don't think it's got anything to do with the mouse.  Today's setup is a little different.  I am no longer using the MX3100 keyboard.  I am using Logitech DiNovo Edge, which uses a bluetooth dongle.  I also don't think it's any interference from this keyboard since this is a pre-existing problem.
    I do have a cordless phone in the room (it's on the left hand side of the desk from where I sit at the opposite end from the modem & router...also it's one of those that doesn't need a phone line)but it's a 5.8 ghz.
    The old router had the option to change the channel, etc.  This one has auto for standard channel & wide channel & there's no way to change it that I can see.  Radio band is also set to auto but does have 2 choices under it (standard & wide).  As I said before, I use our last name for our SSID.  It's the same one I've been using for years.  There is no one else around here with that SSID.  Network mode is mixed.
    Concerning the firmware....the information for mine is WRT300N V1.1 firmware v1.51.2.  I tried to look for an update but the only one in the list is the WRT300N V1.0.  I did click on that but the firmware version is lower and I don't want to screw anything up.  Is there a firmware update for me or not?  If so, please point me in the right direction as I can't find it.
    Concerning the signal strength....would it help to buy a new wireless card for the laptop?  The Intel card has been updated with the newest software.  The card is internal and to my knowledge can only be replaced with the same card or a bluetooth card.  (Computer is a Dell XPS M140.)  I do have a card slot but I'm confused because I think Dell called it an Express Card slot and I don't know whether or not the Linksys notebook card that is recommended for this router would work in this slot.  If the card would work, is it worth the expense?
    What else can I try.  I thought about moving the router furthur to the left but it would require moving a few other items and I'm not sure if the cords are long enough.  Would it help if the router & modem were not plugged into the same UPS?  I do have a regular surge protecter near where my phone is.  I would really rather leave them plugged into the UPS though for obvious reasons.
    Also if it helps, I have the router on it's side with the 2 antennas on the end pointing straight up and the flat one in the middle I have angled this way.
    I hope I have given enough information for some suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Thanks for the response.  I was wondering if anyone would take the time to read such a long post.  I wanted to be sure to try to give as much information as possible.
    My desktop (Dell XPS400) tower is made out of metal...but the router is actually not sitting on it.  There is a shelf to the left of my tower (when I'm facing it, otherwise it's to the right of it).  That's where the modem & router sit.  The shelf sits about 3" over from the edge of the computer and it's about 7" above it.
    As far as the wireless card for my husband's laptop...I'm still thinking about it.  I'm wondering if there would be any improvement in speed or the quality of the connection with the N card.
    Now I just went into the router's settings and tried to make the changes you suggested.  I was able to change  the radio band from auto to wide BUT once I do that, I loose the ability to leave the wide channel & standard channels on auto.  The options for the wide channel are 3-9 and the standard are 1 & 5.  I don't know which ones are best to pick so for now I'm not changing anything.  I didn't change the advanced settings either as I wasn't sure if I could do that without changing the other settings first.
    My husband has noted that he does see the quality of the connection occasionally jump to excellant.  For the most part it's staying on good in here.  We haven't brought it out into the living room yet to see what it does out there.  He hasn't needed to.  He has had it disconnect on him a couple of times as well.
    I did forgot to mention in that book I wrote that we do live in an apartment building.  We are on the 1st floor in the back of the building.  Our office is between our living room & another bedroom.  There is an apartment above us.  There is another apartment on the other side of the other bedroom.  Our bathroom is across the hall from this room, other side of that is the kitchen and then there is an apartment in the front of the building.  Our front door is off the living room, a hallway seperates our apartment from another one.  There are 4 apartments on each floor.  Laundry (directly under us) & storage in basement.
    I give all these details to try to get the best help.  I don't know if all this extra info is helpful or not.  We have been using Linksys routers for quite a few years now.  This is our 3rd one and our 2nd wireless one.  We have been in this apartment for a year now and had no trouble until a few weeks ago.  Previously lived in another apartment of the same floor plan in the same complex but on the 3rd floor (boy did we hate walking up those stairs!) with no trouble.
    Looking forward to hearing back from  you so I can try to make the changes you suggested.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    First thing to know is that everything that has a DN can be used for routing, so it's a good idea to look at the route plan report to find matches.
    If you can't find an exact match, chances are you're hitting something with wildcards ie X, [1-2], etc
    An easy way to check routing if you're new to the game is to use DNA
