Not sure if this is the right place but......."noisy iMac, whats the deal?"

Hey,
I had recentely been having problems with my first gen iMac G5 (distorted video, noisy fans e.t.c), but after sending it in for repair ,courtesy of Apple Extention Repair Program, I am still having problems. I don't get the distorted video anymore but I am still getting the noise coming from my computer. Should this all have been taken care of when I put it in for repair or is the noise a seperate issue? Also, is there anyway I can fix this because it is driving me crazy?!?!?!
Thanks
Ian

Since it was in for repair, I certainly would have mentioned it to the techs when I brought it in.
There is no way for you to fix it, as the parts are no longer considered user serviceable.
Since you just sent it in, I would call them and tell Apple that you are still having noise issues and see what they will do.

I have bought a new iPad 2 charger and it works absolutely fine but then I wanted to upload some pictures on the computer so I put the wire in the right places but it doesn't work so I tried my iPhone and it worked fine?

Well, I think they've boxed themselves in so that the next revision will have to be called Aslan. (ok, maybe that joke's too subtle, so I'll link it)

I have $10.60 in my ITunes account. Wanted to buy a book fo $9.99 but it says I don't have enough. Not sure why this is happening...is there tax on the books?

I have $10.60 in my ITunes account. I tried to download a bok for $9.99 but keep getting the message that I have insufficient funds for purchase and am redirected to the billing page. Not sure why this is happening....is there tax on the books?

Yes, there is applicable tax charged on all purchases.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but it could be $5.49 well spent

Apparently this DAW controller works with Audition plus it runs on something which starts with the letter "i" so I guess it must be good

I am not sure that I have a working knowledge, but I will describe what I did. Please let me know if the information is meaningful. It would seem that I am experiencing some packet loss on the subject computer.
From each of three computers, the G5 (wired), the MacPro (wired), and, the MacBookPro (wireless) I pinged 3 addresses: Google, and both of the other 2 computers (50 pings). The following are the summary results (which I hope are the ones you want). I can attach full print outs, or re-ping if necessary or helpful.
I do not know how to do columns here, so in each case the numbers represent, in order, "packets transmitted, packets received, %age packet loss, round-trip min/avg/max/stddev.
1) G5 to Google
50, 47, 6% 46.810/65.077/76.104/7.880 ms
2)MacBookPro to Google
50, 49, 2%, 36.868/69.204/92.896/10.223 ms
3) MacPro to Google
50, 50, 0%, 28.928/38.789/71.833/10.814 ms
4) G5 to MacBookPro
50, 48, 4%, 1.010/1.343/5.633/0.710ms
5) G5 to MacPro
50, 44, 12%, 0.209/0.358/1.257/0.161 ms
6) MacBookPro to G5
50, 44, 12%, 1.055/3.881/28.271/5.159 ms
7) MacBookPro to MacPro
50, 47, 6% 0.977/2.809/43.888/6.253 ms
8) MacPro to G5
50, 45, 10%, 0.179/0.338/0.505/0.083 ms
9) MacPro to MacBookPro
50, 49, 2%, 1.118/2.403/8.014/1.562 ms
If the G5 is involved, the packet loss seems to be greater. Does the nature of wireless account for some loss on the MacBook Pro? The MacPro, which is wired, has no loss going to Google.
So, does this tell me anything? Thank you for trying to help. I look forward to your interpretation.

Not sure if I am In the Right Place but I Will Give it a Shot

Hello- I have been with Verizon for about 4 years. I still have the same phone I got when I initially signed up. It is a MOTO with everything turned off except incoming and outgoing calls. I made a "big move" to a 3G USB device because the thought of being able to drive and get on the internet seemed cool. that worked OK but when the MIFi came out, I went for that in hopes when I was home I could put it out on the porch and not get dropped calls so much.
I now am up for the New Every Two for the cell phone and the data device. I heard also that they are doing away with New Every Two so I might be too late. I would also like to take a big jump for me and get a smartphone or the iPhone.
I am not good at all at picking this technical stuff up. I am on my 3 MacBook pro, and still I mess it up for doing something stupid. the 4G LTE seems cool but I can't et a good picture of what it looks like in the Salt Lake City area. On my computer it looks like most of the Salt Lake City area is 4G extended and some 3G which I heard can be a nightmare by dropping when you move from 3G to 4GLTE. Somebody emails me sending me the map and saying it was all burgundy being 4G LTE tops with minimal $G extended. I do not see how they got this but the map they sent me it looks like that.
I am not clear if the 4G LTE services and products are just making their debut or I should wait awhile until the network expands some. I was under the impression by the 4G USB device and the bill inserts that Verizon was full force selling their 4GLTE products.
since I have a New Every Two (if it is still good) for my MOTO phone and the MIFI2200, I can get $35 for the phone and $50 for the MIFI. In looking at the products I saw the Droid X which has outstanding reviews except for the battery. One post said he bought an extended battery and it made a big difference. If I would like to get rid of the MIFi and get a new phone, would the Droid X be something that would take over for the phone and the internet and the 3G connection? Would there be any reason to wait until this same phone came out in 4G and once I find out where Salt Lake City, UT is with the 4G network, get a 3G phone?
I do not have a natural ability to use these devices, in fact I am not sure what exactly this phone would take over. it sounded like it would be a phone, text, skype phone (not sure what a skype phone is but I do know skype) an internet device all in 3G.
any help in this major question. I do not expect anybody to tell me what to do. I posted this type of question before & I got nailed by a few guys for wanting someone else to make up my mind for me. I am looking for suggestions, recommendations, what this phone actually does since i am not familiar with the droid OS.
Thanks for any help or suggestions. I will take them all as just one's opinion and suggestions.
In Full Appreciation!

Hey VisMagica and welcome to the forum -
You can upgrade the RAM and Hard Drive yourself and save money. It is extremely easy and there are several instructional videos on the internet. Plus there's the friendly help available by the kind folks in this forum. If you want to have Apple or a service center do this for you, you will have to get a quote from them. Apple does not sell notebook drives.
Depending on your MacBook, you can increase your RAM to 2GB-4GB. The HD possibilities go up to 500GB. Your most expensive venture will be Leopard.
Costs (in US dollars):
Ram $30-60
HD $50-100
Leopard $129
Tools needed: Phillips 00 screwdriver, #T8 Torx Screwdriver, any coin

Is this the right place to provide feedback on the ADF tutorials/exercises?

Hi there,
I have been trying out the "Access a Web Service from ADF Faces" tutorial and have a few questions or feedback about it. You can access the tutorial at [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/wsdc/wsdc.htm|http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe11jdev/11/wsdc/wsdc.htm] . In this tutorial, under the topic Running the Page, step 7, it mentions ignore the error window that appears by clicking OK. This error windows can be found here.
From the message that appears, it seems that on the first load of the page, we are calling the web service with no parameters and therefore produces an error. Why do we still have an error message? I thought we prevented this by performing the somewhat ambiguous (probably because I don't know the adfFacesContext object well enough) steps 1-3 under the same topic ( Running the Page ). Can someone provide some clarity please? I am possibly working on projects where web service controls are essential in the near future.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Cappa

Another way to prevent the execution of the web service that might work better in this scenario is to use a refresh condition that checks that the parameter field is not empty.
This way we only execute the iterator after a value has been placed in the parameter.

Probably not the right place but...

I've just got back my ibook g4 WITH leopard now installed but with all files/apps etc wiped clean; some recovered on external drive - log job to trawl through...
However, as a part shortcut to this I could possibly transfer many duplicate files/apps from my imac - if I knew how. I have them both connected via firewire but unsure how best to achieve without further potential calamity.
any advice gratefully received...
Thanks, bob

you could use Migration Assistant (it's in /Applications/Utilities) to transfer your data, apps and accounts from the iMac to the ibook.

Not sure if it something new...but since I loaded the latest version last week, I am typically "redirected" on the first attempt of connecting with a web site from a search page. Then I hit it again and I get to the site I wanted

I search for marriott hotels, the page loads with options I go to the one showing the proper address, enter...end up at a third party site for hotels via a re direct, I go back to the same search item showing the address I desired enter and on second attempt get to where I wanted to be. Not only hotels have had re direct for last 4 days using google search engine as in past

For general browsing on an older powerPC Mac, you'd need to get a supported browser, one that sees current or recent updates for security reasons; so that is one thing. You could get and install anything from the internet.
But you probably do not have a virus.
tech guides
http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
adware removal guide
http://www.thesafemac.com/arg/
A good browser for a powerPC computer running up to 10.5.8, is TenFourFox. Or iCab. Or SeaMonkeyPPC. With some of these you can set up an email account, & those may be more secure than older Mac Mail. You can also be sure the settings in a browser or email client application do not automatically open attachments or downloads, until you determine what they are through investigation.
If you got an idea to download free applications from untrustworthy sites, or wanted to clean up your mac, etc using some dubious software, then an 'adware' may be installed. Some kinds of items you may seek to download or that were attachments on an email, can be dealt with in several ways. Safe browsing, near paranoid use of email, and if you use a web-based email, use a secure browser to visit it, login online, and do not have unnecessary cookies or features set in the browser.
What OS X version does your PowerBook have running?
What are you using for a web browser? Safari is unsupported.
Good luck & happy computing!

Not sure if this is the right place, but I need help working with wtmpx

I am trying to write a program that collects data from the /var/adm/wtmpx file and I would like to use the structures and functions provided by the utmpx.h file in /usr/include. I can read the utmpx file with no problem, however I would like to read the wtmpx file. I think the way to do it is to use the function utmpxname(). However, this appears to be the one function that doesn't seem to work. The compiler complains that there is no function utmpxname(). I am mainly a C++ programmer so this code is a little confusing to me. Where can I find the actual implementation of the utmpxname()? PLEASE HELP!!

This is a Solaris question. You should post it to that discussion.
Items in section 3 of the manual are not part of the compiler. They
would be in libc or some other system lib distributed with
the OS and not maintained under the compiler collection.

Not sure if this is the right place, but what video capture software....

do you recommend? I need something that's cost efficient. I see that there is Mac Capture and Screen Record software that is available and both are under $30. Do any of you have experience with either one of these? Or are there any other that you guys recommend? I want to record the audio and video of the video files that I play on my Powerbook. Thanks.

To me cost efficient is what works the best.

I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue, but in the last week or so, whenever I do a search on Google or Bing, when I click on one of the results, I get redirected to a site like Tazinga!, instead of taking me to my destination.

For example, I did a search on Google for :
"resume have summary and objective - Google Search"
It returned several options. I clicked on :
"Summary and Objective statements | Magic Pot of Jobs (http://www.magicpotofjobs.com/2005/07/30/summary-and-objective-statements/)
And instead ended up at:
http://www.gimmeanswers.net/search/v5_1/searchabc.php?search=Resume+Have+Summary+And+Objective&affiliate=mx1-33371
This has been occurring with almost every search I do.

Slideshow-Images not displaying in the right place on the screen

I am trying to use the SlideShow widget for the first time. I have a pretty basic slideshow with six images that I want to display. When I preview it in IE or Firefox,what I get is really weird. The first image displays in the right place. The second displays in the right place, but with a black box underneath it. The third displays under where it's supposed to go, with a black box above it. After this, the images alternate between where they're supposed to be and just below that, with a black box of the same size in the second location. I've looked at the source of other webpages that have working slide shows, and I don't see a difference between what I'm doing and what they're doing. Here is what I think is the relevant code. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

If you have a look at basic_fs.css, you will notice that the styles taget a class called BasicSlideShowFS.
Yet when I look at the constructor, the class is missing as in
var ImageSlideShow = new Spry.Widget.ImageSlideShow("#ImageSlideShow", {
    widgetID: "ImageSlideShow",
    widgetClass: "BasicSlideShowFS",
    injectionType: "replace",
    autoPlay: true,
Because you are not using the thumbnails (filmstrip), I am wondering why you did not implement the basic slideshow, which will make it a lot easier for you.

Is this the right place to request features?

If it is the right place, could I suggest that the select forum combobox should appear in every web page from the forums and not only on the Forums Home Page, it requires too many clicks to change from a forum to another.
Thanks

the select forum combobox should appear in every web page from the forums
This is not a bad idea for the Web interface! Just curious though, where would you suggest this (select form control) be placed in the current Web interface? Hmm, maybe under the Browse link in the #jive-userbar-droplink li selector ? That seems like a good place ATM.

Woa! Worst case of TinyMCE editor experience I've ever had here! This happens to be the first time I've used this same computer to serve up music (WinAmp [version unknown] on Win XP Pro) while visiting forums.adobe.com. I usually play music from a physical, separate CD player & amplifier or, occasionally, from a different computer over LAN. (MAN, this is hard to type!).
Any chance you other editor/performance complainants are running a music player while typing in this TinyMCE editor? If so, which OS and player?
WOW, but this is horrid on this dual Xeon box (two physical processor chips plus hyperthreading) in this current XP Pro SP3 boot configuration.
(If no relavent replies to my OT, I may try to replicate later and post results if I can replicate tonight's performanceee.)

Emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have elected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening?

emails in my 'trash' are being deleted after about 5 weeks, but I want to retain them. I have selected 'never' on the 'permanently erase deleted messages' option, so I'm not sure why this happening? any ideas?

iCloud emails in the Trash are deleted after 30 days on the website, and this over-rides the 'never' setting in Mail. There is no way of stopping this. (The Trash isn't really intended as a permanent storage area.)
Try this workaround. Go to http://www.icloud.com and go to the Mail page. In the sidebar, click on '+' to the right of 'Folders' to create a new folder; give it a suitable name.
Now click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left. At the bottom of the pane which opens, set the 'Move deleted messages to' drop-down menu to your new folder.
I'm not sure whether, when you delete messages in the Mail application, they will go to the Trash or your new folder - you'll need to experiment. I have a nasty feeling that Mail will simply move them to the Trash as before. If this is the case you will have to move them to your new folder manually - dragging messages directly to this folder rather than hitting the delete key will be the easiest way.

Not sure if this is the right place but......."noisy iMac, whats the deal?"
