Operating system on a PowerMac G5 tower

I have a later 2005 PowerMac G5 tower with the intel. I took it to the shop for a previous problem and the tech asked me if I wanted to Upgrade to Snow Leopard. I need to know if "Snow Leopard" is compatible with a Intel PowerMac G5. OR What the Latest OSx is compatible with it?

japamac has you covered on the model question.
If it is truly a G5 then Leopard (not Snow Leopard - oh why did Apple have to give them similar names?) is the highest system. If the technician was offering to upgrade to Leopard I would seriously think about going for it. Tiger is no longer supported and Leopard will be the last OS that machine will run. Then too, it is hard to find a copy of Leopard and if the shop has a copy they will sell you at Apple's retail price I'd go for it. The main hesitation would be if you still use OS9 generation software since Leopard does not have Classic.

  • Want to upgrade my PowerMac G4 OSX 10.3.9 to newer operating system

    I am a new user to Apple Support. I have an older PowerMac G4, Dual 800 MHz, 1.25 GB SDRAM. I am currently running 10.3.9 but am experiencing problems related to having an older operating system, such as syncing my new iPod, and viewing websites. Otherwise, all is working fine and I hate to mess with something that is not broken, but I would like to upgrade the operating system. I only have an internal CD drive, but do have an external DVD. I have never installed a new operating system before. Do I need to reinstall all the software as well? I do not have all of the original disks for the software I use daily. Also, I am told by Apple that they only have OSX 10.4 available on DVD, and I don't think I will be able to install these from my external drive. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should go about this upgrade? Thank you!

    Hello amyw9999,
    And welcome to the Apple Forum!
    There are a couple of ways to handle this, but I'll suggest one, and others can suggest more.
    You might start by replacing your CD drive with a DVD/CD Superdrive. Newegg.com sells the Pioneer DVR-115DBK (the latest model - which will probably burn faster than your QS is capable of) for about $30 + $5 s&h. The Pioneers are good drives and seem to work well with Macs. Installation has always been straightforward and not too difficult, although I just took a look at my newly acquired dual 800 QS and discovered they changed the procedure from the earlier models and I haven't quite figured it out yet.
    You can get Tiger on CD if you search a bit, but you really should be up to date, mate, and be able to handle DVDs, and the Pioneer Superdrive is an inexpensive way to go.
    You may be able to use your external DVD drive; someone else will know for certain.
    To deal with a new OS, the easy way is to get a nice new Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM Hard Drive - 120GB with an 8MB cache - ST3120026A-RK is the old standard; ST31200815A is a slightly newer version which will work standing up, sitting down, or turned on its head. 120GB is considered small these days, and may be a little harder to find than larger sizes, but is the largest size your QS will recognise natively. To be able to run a larger HD, get an ATA-100/133 Acard 6280M (for Mac) controller card which will let you add up to four new larger drives of virtually any size (in case you want to download the uncut version of War and Peace) - only $60 at (you guessed it) Newegg.com.
    You can then install your old software onto the new HD at your leisure, remembering that some of it may want an updated version. You can run two Hard Drives at the same time as master and slave, and choose which one you want to boot to. This is also helpful in case you suddenly decide you want another Mac: you can just swap in one of the HDs and you're in business. (this is what I do)
    You should also be able just to install Tiger on your existing Hard Drive. I'll let someone else explain, since I might miss something.
    Mugged by Progress, I guess; take a deep breath and plunge ahead!
    Regards ..... Jon

  • Powermac(s) G5 will not install operating system(s).

    I have read many posts, but no posts resolve this issue. With wiped or new hard drives, the operating system install dvd disk fails to install and hangs with a last line panic message repeatably mentioned by others and now me "We are hanging here..."
    I have a quad core G5 with a wiped and new hard drive. When using a powermac G5 install of the manufactured time of the machine, the install hangs. The install is 10.4. What was on the hard drive before it was wiped was 10.5. I have tried several different disks all with same result. I have done all the obvious and previously failed thing: pulled the battery, reset PRAM, tried different hard drives, other dvd drives, etc. I read that Apple claims to many that the logic board or processors are bad and to throw out the units.
    +*Here is the twist.*+ I have four of these units. Prior to wiping they hard drives, they all were in perfect working order. I have 16 more that have not had the hard drives wiped, and all behave exactly the same way when I try to install the operating system while booting off the DVD install disk. If I launch the install disk from the systems when the systems are happily running, they too fail with exactly the same message. I therefore doubt that hardware is at fault and that they all suddenly have bad logic boards, then good, then bad. Or that they are all breaking at the same time when every single one of them were working fine everyday.
    I want to get the ones with the wiped drives up and running again. I don't want to put the systems from the unwiped ones on the wiped ones.
    Interesting isn't it? Very I think. How much good hardware has been wasted by this issue?
    Any ideas? Please, put on your thinking caps.

    Hi SeeHere, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I don't want to put the systems from the unwiped ones on the wiped ones.
    I fail to understand why you'd not want to try tat on at least one using FireWire target disk mode...

    What OS/Mac did you use to do that?
    In Disc Utility>blue Info icon, what Format & Partition scheme is reported?

  • I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on my PowerMac, and cannot retrieve email.  Does this have to do with iCloud?  I also cannot upgrade my operating system as my computer won't accept it.  Any information about this for me? Thank you!

    I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on my PowerMac, and cannot retrieve email.  Does this have to do with iCloud?  I also cannot upgrade my operating system as my computer won't accept it.  Any information about this for me? Thank you!

    Hi Steve,
    If this is dot mac or Mobile me you can still use IMAP eMail in the iCloud.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
        •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 993
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
        •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
        •    SSL Required: Yes
        •    Port: 587
        •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
        •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
        •    Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • Can i install an operating system on a mac with a wiped hard drive?

    I recently got a used mac tower from a supplier, and it has a wiped hard drive, the supplier did not reinstall the mac operating system, so I need to know if I may need to pay to have it installed for me or get a CD and license key like windows?

    Start with Snow Leopard.
    Snow Leopard Purchase
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space

    I wanted to have the SSDs in RAID0 with Win7 and the games on it, then a volume on the 2TB that the RAID backs up to, with the remaining 1.5TB just free storage space in another volume.  I couldn't get raid past Win7's Where Do You Want To Install screen during installation, so I ended up installing the OS on just one SSD.  I figured I'd backup the functioning OS to the 2TB then rebuild the RAID array and copy the OS back onto it.
    The system had been up an running for a full day, being updated left and right nonstop, several big games put in, etc etc, everything was running fine until I decided to run MSI Live Update and started pumping in updates.  Constant errors as I went along, but generally it'd just skip to the next installation attempt.  When it got down to updating the BIOS and did it's DOS injection thing, it for forcefully shut down the PC, restarted, did Post, flashed the BIOS wallpaper, restarted again, Posted, no BIOS wallpaper, just endless "Missing Operating System".  Walked away, went to bed, back up and at it for a few minutes (Will be back tonight for however long it takes to get it fixed).  I switched the BIOS switch over, no dice.  Feels like it's a BIOS "OS" that's gone, and that a BIOS reset/flash is in order or something, but I've never done these things.
    Thanks in advance for any rendered assistance that leads to resolution.

    The SSDs are definitely hooked up where they're supposed to go; the motherboard had a little sticker n' everything for where the two SSD dedicated SATA 6.0gbps ports were :P  AND my case has 2 specific slots for SSDs which don't use the hotswap electronics PCB passthrough like the other 4 bays, which is where the 2T is installed.  I was going to take the 2TB out and hook it up normally and see if that changed the speeds, but I'm leaning towards wishful thinking.  Did I mention I went and made several volumes with different file cluster sizes to test and see if that was the issue?  Alas, all were borked.  It still confuses me though because every once n' awhile it'd do massive burst speeds the way it's supposed to.
    As far as I can recall I'm using up to date BIOS, the last one or two.  One BIOS switch is set for the last BIOS, the other switch is a step back devoid of the Windows 8 stuff.  I believe I have all the drivers up to date as well.  Intel 335's are literally brand new, mine hadn't been more than 3 weeks old off the production line when I received them; IE, they should pretty much have the latest firmware on them which spares me the risk of destroying something precious 
    I MIGHT have a SATA external enclosure around here somewhere, if so, the 2TB could go in that for additional testing until I figure out where it's sustaining speeds of 2-10MB vs 100-150MB/second.
    Meanwhile, the good news is that the system has been fully operational and hella stable.  I hadn't slept in almost 3 days, playing and installing stuff nonstop.  The system continues to run cooler (32c@stock CPU speed) as the thermal paste sets in, the knocking sound of the fan in the PSU has gone away upon me reawakening a bit ago, and amazingly, this massive system (with EIGHT fans) draws only 60-65 watts while desktopping.  That's just astounding 

  • Operating System?

    I just was given a I Book G3 - So, I have booted it up and checked it all out and then reached a point to where I need information. For some reason I can't tell what the operating system is. Even on my G4 PPC I couldn't tell you if I have Leopard, Tiger, or what? I can't tell what is on the G3 IBook. So can anyone help me? The Ibook : When I go to the "About this MAC" It is the 600 mghz PowerPC G3, has 128 RAM, 20 gig HD, it says it has MAC OS X Version 10.3.9. But How in the world can you find out what the name of the operating system is on these things? I DO NOT have the discs or manuals that originally came with either one of the computers so that doesn't help. On my tower mac (Power PC G4) it says MAC OSX Version 10.4.11 500mghz Power PC G4, 512MB SDRAM. So, I guess I just need to know if Leopard, Tiger, Snow Leopard, Panther - ?? I don't know because I can't find anywhere on the entire pc (either one) where it tells me. I wanted to know so I can upgrade on the IBook - the Safari program but don't know which one I should download because it asks which OS you are using and the choices are usually Tiger, Leopard, etc...

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Mac OS X 10.3.9 is Panther.
    How in the world can you find out what the name of the operating system is on these things?

  • Power Mac G5, freezes when trying to install operating system

    Hello,
    I have a PowerMac G5 that I think that the hard drive is bad. It is a SATA 160 GB Drive. I got a new drive and tried to install the Operating System (10.3 black CD) and it won't boot just flashing question mark.
    I have a Grey DVD (Power Mac G5) and when I try to boot it gets to the apple screen then freezes with lines across the screen.
    I have an apple hardware test V2.5 and it ran the quick test and said hard drive was loaded. I ran it before and the old drive did not even appear.

  • Adobe's new 64 bit multimedia operating system code named Quick Silver

    As far as I know Adobe is not creating a 64 bit bit operating system but I wish they would. Or at the very least they should make a web browser called Quick Silver.  I am writng this because I seen the Mozilla Fire Fox video. I think Moziila will soon write a mobile OS and maybe even a desktop OS. They are even asking for donations. I like Fire Fox because it is free. If they charge for it I would probably just use IE. I know Adobe has the free Acrobat Reader and Flash Player why not a web borwser? I think if Adobe created an OS and gave it away free for 18-19 months it could get a large amount market share. Two years later they could start to charge $35 for the OS. I think within 3 years Adobe could get 50% of the market share for new computers if the OS was only about $35.00 for the download version ($45.00 retail version).  I don't doubt that Adobe could get a good 50% of the market share and other multimedia software and hardware vendors would also support the Adobe OS. Before I make the feature request I would like to know your thoughts.

    Imagine if the car industry ran like software/hardware:
    Dragging your car home with a rope (and no wheels because they were not included) to spend 8 hours removing unnecessary things like 'McAfee windshield wiper fluid made from glue', 'iMovie sticky gum' on the upholstery, and "VAIO media player lemon scent deeply rigged into the AC unit" which has pretty much nothing to do with the car... only to call the dealership and ask: "when I start my car and pres the window down button the right blinker turns on and then the vehicle stops" then be put on hold for 6 months to receive the following response "what was the number of times the blinker flashed before the car turned off? we need that number to determine what part to send"... and then when you finally DO get the wheels the dealership releases a new version of your car and the state puts a road law into effect that crashes your vehicle when it touches the road unless you pay the dealership to upgrade from car 1.5 to car 1.5.7390... which when you do the engine is not supported? So... you buy the NEW NEW car that comes with 1.6 installed in the engine and find out the wheels will not be released till next month.
    dig?
    ~lol.
    i do try remain cheerful and hopeful... but its not funny anymore.
    you make a good point, but... are there some sales statistics for that?
    light trolling, but seriously, does final cut have a support problem, roll out fail, error code and forum track record anything at all like this?
    google ->site: forums.adobe.com = About 12,500,000 results
    google ->site:forums.adobe.com = About 3,880,000 results
    I think the FCP thing is a great idea. Lets check back in a year and see who bought it...
    I would totally would have preferred to pay $6500.00 for a "Dedicated Adobe Tower Master Collection Desktop" @ $65 per month (hardware included)
    instead of the $20,000 shelled out over the last 10 years on soft (PLUS another 2 desktops and 3 laptops and the gadgets since 2002)
    not to mention the time lost. the valuable time I will want back on my deathbed. lol
    Even if Adobe does not do a proprietary OS, I am thinking it still makes sense for some 3rd party to bundle, its not the same though...
    Apple is on to something in my opinion.
    Imagine Apple and Microsoft teaming up with Adobe to produce very specific machines?
    Other industries do this, they communicate, they have standards, look at how Vehicles and Tire manufacturers collaborate...
    When a new car comes out they don't just change the wheel well and expect the Tire manufacturers to follow suit later, no indeed, that kind of thing is rolled out proper and one can drive right off the lot the day its bought.

  • Is there a fix for iTunes not running under Windows 8.1 Operating System?

    I used iTunes for Windows, on my Dell Tower PC, successfully under Windows 7 to import CD tracks and share them with my iPad and iPhone using iTunes Match but since I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8 and then 8.1, iTunes for Windows will not run, despite my downloading the latest versions as they become available; I receive no error message!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Essbase on Windows Operating Systems

    Hi, Can anyone tell me whether Hyperion Essbase 931 works on Windows Vista Operating System? Thank You.......

    I worked for about 8 hours one night trying to run Essbase 7.1.3 server on Vista. I was on a sales trip and my laptop had died; I bought a new laptop and it had Vista preinstalled.
    I found the Essbase installer does not run properly unless you set the compatibility mode to XP. Once I got Essbase installed, after hours of work instead of the 15 minutes typical for me to install Essbase in XP, it ran very slowly. I ended up having one of my other people 'driving' the demo via GoToMeeting.

  • We have an Apple 9 and 10 operating system and want to get rid of the 9 how do we do that?

    We have a power mac G4 with Operating Systems 10.3 on it and 9.0 and want to get rid of the 9.0 and only upgrade the 10.3 to Snow Leopard is that possible and what do we do? Does this mean when we bought this did they partition the drive, do we need to undo something to make this work properly?
    Julie Reid

    An alternate method is to just throw away the OS 9 System Folder (not the folder named System - that's OSX), and throw away the OS 9-only apps you might have.
    Since it is OS 9.0, it can not be used as Classic - and so there should be no hooks to Classic in OSX that might prevent a casual removal via the Trash.
    If OS 9 is on its own partition (the default is everyhting on one volume (partition), but any folks who have both OS's have placed OS 9 on its own partition), then you can erase just that partition.
    Additional issue -
    You mentioned installing Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6). Since you have a PowerMac, that's not possible. Snow Leopard will run only on machines having an Intel processor, which no PowerMac (or any machine capable of using OS 9) has.
    Depending on other criteria, your machine may not even be suitable for Leopard (OSX 10.5). There are some minimum requirements that must be met - primarily a CPU (machine) speed of 867MHz (no stock machine capable of boooting to OS 9.0 has a processor that fast), plus some minimums with regard to RAM and available hard drive space.
    The full specs for Leopard are shown in this Apple KBase article -

  • Had desktop Mac Pro set up with recent operating system there is a message that say setting up your Mac on the screen do I have to wait for the this process to complete or is there a way out of this screen?

    I took all of my devices in to the apple store in ridge hill in Yonkers, the rep helped me set up the new operating system on all my
    Devices from my phone to my desk top tower at home. I powered up my desk top this morning and a message came up saying that
    The system did not recognize a program that was not compatible with the new operating system and it went right into "Setting up your Mac"
    Mode. Do I have to wait for the setup or is there a way to by pass this process?
                            Dee Brown

    I think maybe wait for a bit. Usually, on startup and installing the new OS, the assumption is that the user might not know too much, and that compatibility must be checked, which may be helpful, or not.  For now, I'd say ignore it, wait until it's done its thing, then update the program that's not compatible. If you can, Mr. Brown, find out which one isn't "making nice" with Mavericks. Hopefully it'll give you a name

  • On iOS 8 and "old" device for the operating system. О iOS 8 и "Старых" устройствах на этой операционной системе

    USA.
    Good day! I like you a fan of the forum users of APPLE. I live in the Russian Federation. Began his acquaintance with this company back in 2010 with the Ipad 2 device was still on ios 5. In January 2014 I made ​​a gift and bought the iPhone 5s on OC IOS 7. I bought it at the official Russian official price that more accurately put Apple in 1100 $. In our country, it is a lot of money. With the money I could live for 3 months. In fact, I became the owner of a top (at the time) from a favorite device of Apple. My iPhone 5s worked perfectly on ios 7. sometimes met friezes light animation, and non-critical bugs, but who is without sin? Favorite company I was willing to forgive it because I see that she is trying to be better and not standing still. Looking WWDC presentation which provided us with iOS 8 you assured me that everything was better, faster, more functional. I was determined that update my iPhone 5s to iOS 8.0 ... APPLE releases new OC iOS 8 ... And I live! Behind the beautiful words that we said at the presentation of the great features of the new iOS hiding "something." And that "something" turned my phone in ... "pumpkin"! Yes! In that same stupid pumpkin! And now I will explain why I think it's pumpkin, not rose.
    Sea bugs ... and they are awful and terrible as it does not give me the full extent of my work enjoy iPhone 5s!
    Start from the beginning:
    1 Streaming through technology "Air play".
    "Air play" ceased to function properly! He was often disconnected from Apple tv and Apple airport express last generation. Apple tv 2g can not receive the signal from my iPhone 5s! And when it's all the same he gets a video playback does not last long, it just breaks and does not connect again! Helps to restart Apple TV and a hard reset by holding the button "HOME" button and "POWER". On the "Apple TV" is worth the latest firmware as these problems are manifested in the previous firmware of the device.
    2 Built-in browser "Safari".
    Tab in the "Safari" became constantly updated when I switch to another application or the other tabs! Apparent lack of memory (on iOS 7.1.2 with it all much better. At least when switching tabs does not re-update the previous tab).
    Playing online video on non-optimized mobile site in the browser "Safari" really does not work! It is turned on and loaded almost to infinity! Sometimes just a black screen with an icon "Play" to be pressed at least 100 times, and the result is 0!
    Scroll pages in the browser have become terribly sharp and smooth! on iOS 7.1.2 everything is fine, nice and smooth and no such bugs! Total confusion and thoughtfulness browser "Safari".
    If the video still runs (for me equates to a miracle) then when rewinding the film is generally something strange ... Fast chooses how minutes and seconds I watch a movie (usually just starts playing from the beginning), or does not respond at all ... This is the same magic Apple? Unlikely.
    3 multitasking menu (double-press "HOME").
    Call multitasking (by double-clicking "HOME") began working with a delay, with a lag, c jerky animation, and sometimes even without it.
    Control Center (which is called swipe upwards) was to slow down! Yes! That retard! Animation jumping shutter control center began play with tangible frame loss! If iPhone 5s under the control of OS iOS 7.1.2 everything happened smoothly, beautifully and dynamically in the iOS 8.0 it looks like on the iPhone 5 running iOS 7.C than strongly connected is not clear! Graphic differences from iOS iOS 7 8 almost equal to 0, and the speed of decline in almost 50%! How ?! Why ?! Why does my iPhone 5s become the iPhone 5 ?! This is an artificial slowing my device to increase the demand on the iPhone 6 or still glitch iOS 8.0 for iPhone 5s? Honey the company Apple, I really hope for the 2nd. Especially this shortfall fps animation curtain markedly if you open multitasking (acquired by double button "HOME") and call the control center and you'll see that the animation is playing choppy and not smooth! On IOS 7.1.2 this is not! Control center jumps smoothly and beautifully! On iOS 8.0 it happens all the time! Even if you turn off your favorite contacts and recent calls (I'm ashamed to say they thought) that appeared in iOS 8 (they are above programs on the multi-tasking) not solve the problem. As well, if you call the control center on the lock screen, then drop FPS will be very noticeable even to the untrained viewer (especially if you take two iPhone 5s one running iOS 7 and 8, the second on iOS and compare them on the forehead). If the Control Center click airdrop (air play) the animation of its appearance again played in spurts and not terribly nice and smoothly (especially noticeable on the lock screen and comparison of the forehead)! In a telephone call has been going absolutely shameless FPS drop a call center management and other activities!
    And yes, for me it is a critical issue! I do not want the transition to iOS 9 my iPhone 5s turned to the iPhone 4 on iOS 7 (vid you all remember this terrible story?)! I want my iPhone 5s worked as smoothly as on iOS 7.1.2! Nor any justification for this inhibition iskuvsstvennoy I can not see! 8 beautiful iOS did not! graphic elements do not appear! So goes the Apple is doing this on purpose ?! We go down the list!
    4 minor bugs that just break my brain and kill all the beauty of the use of "the best mobile operating system in the world"!
    4.1. When a call comes in when you clicked the icon making a call the phone for about 2-3 seconds, vibrates and plays a melody. On iOS 7.1.2 ringtone and vibration stops as soon as you have accepted the challenge and in your ear does not play your ringtone by "imagine Dragons", cheeks beats you invented vibration in the style of "Tick-tonic."
    4.2. When you look at the page on the Internet-phone terribly terribly strongly heated! A pair of piping hot! On iOS 7.1.2 is no such problem! Telephone hot, but not as much as on iOS 8.0!
    4.3. Folder on the home screen opens with a delay of 0.5-1 second is the impact on the overall impression of iOS 8.0.
    4.4. When you create a set (12 pieces) icons in one folder if dramatically open the folder and make swipe to the left then the following icons in this folder does not have time to boot up and are delayed by 1 second.
    4.5. When you create a folder with 1-9 icons do if the above action fails then the animation (the same bug exists in iOS 7.1.2). It is very not nice aesthetically.
    4.6. Scroll to your "Settings" felt terribly antsy. Although it is not only in the application "Settings" but also to the entire system and applications in general ...
    4.7. Scroll to the Home screen has become less responsive to user actions all movements inogoda occur with jerky animation and some delay to the user.
    4.8. Quite often, and without rational reason for going off the sensor device. That is, the screen does not respond to any user action! Helps pressing "HOME" or hard reset by holding the button "HOME" and "POWER".
    4.9. Most people on the iPhone 5s lost communication with a mobile operator. Just go on and lost and because of this I have missed calls from their loved ones and friends (would cost you to be glad that I have not missed calls on business issues).
    5.0. Many owners of iPhone 5s and iPhone 5 uhudzhenie complain about battery life. I honestly did not notice it, but we will not drop this off.
      Outcome.
    And now gets quite an interesting question, why? Why does my iPhone 5s began to slow? Why in the absence of graphical improvements are absolutely the same actions were reproduced with the loss of fps, slow down, lag, hover, fly? Why, if put next iPhone 5s on iOS 7.1.2 and exactly the same iPhone 5s on iOS 8.0 and pull the control panel to call multitasking bar, carry out all other actions I have described it on your device running iOS 7.1.2 it will work without any delays, lags, the deterioration in the responsiveness of the interface, reducing fps, and no departures from simple applications written directly by Apple? I see absolutely no any obstacles in the way to make the iPhone 5s to the operating system iOS 8.0 worked with the same smoothness, with the same responsiveness and speed as the iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1.2! I do not see what these restrictions are not!
    There are many different bugs that I do not even remember now (as I write this text on emotions (positive) as able to roll back your iPhone 5s back to iOS 7.1.2, and he seemed to come alive with new life) and so far I have esteemed company APPLE does not eliminate these improvements do not, I will not go back to iOS 8.0! if the dispensation of these bugs, flaws, intentional degradation of the (almost identical in performance in comparison with the iPhone 6) IPhone 5s will not happen and the company APPLE will continue to apply to consumers of their products as a beta tester I will be forced to organize a petition and file a class action lawsuit in court not only in their own country (which is for the Russian Federation) but also in the United States and in other countries where people are just like me trying to deceive, mislead and force companies to buy new devices APPLE without having expressed any any more substantial explanation except as <iPhone 6 was 25% more powerful on with alignment with the iPhone 5s>!
    P.s.
    I hope Apple will still listen to their users and I also hope that it (Apple) still change his mind and will try in the near future to give users not-so-old devices (iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad mini Retina) and enjoy on all the new features of iOS 8 no lag, locked up, overheating, inhibited animation. Thank you for being there!
    Ru.
    Всем доброго времени суток! Я как и вы форумчане являюсь фанатом компании APPLE. Проживаю я в Российской Федерации. Начал свое знакомство с этой компанией в далеком 2010 году с устройства Ipad 2 тогда еще на ios 5. В январе 2014 я сделал себе подарок и купил iPhone 5s на OC IOS 7. Купил я его официально по официальной Российской цене которую выставила Apple точнее за 1100$. В нашей стране это очень большие деньги. На эти деньги я бы мог жить 3 месяца. По сути я стал обладателем топового (на тот момент) устройства от любимой компании Apple. Мой iPhone 5s прекрасно работал на ios 7. Иногда встречались легкие фризы анимации, и не критичные баги, но кто без греха? Любимой компании я был готов это простить так как вижу, что она старается быть лучше и не стоит на месте. Посмотрев презентацию WWDC на которой представили iOS 8 нас с вами уверяли, что все стало лучше, быстрее, функциональнее. Я твердо решил, что обновлю свой iPhone 5s до iOS 8.0... APPLE выпускает новую OC iOS 8... И я обновился! За красивыми словами, что нам говорили на презентации, за великолепными функциональными возможностями новой iOS скрывалось "нечто". И это "нечто" превратило мой телефон в... "тыкву"! Да! В ту самую тупую тыкву! И сейчас я объясню почему я думаю, что это тыква, а не роза.
    Море багов... причем они ужасны и страшны так как не дают мне в полноценной мере насладится работой моего iPhone 5s!
    Начнем по порядку:
    1. Потоковая передача данных посредством технологии "Air play".
    "Air play" перестал нормально работать! Он стал часто отсоединяться от Apple tv и Apple airport express последнего поколения. Apple tv 2g не может принять сигнал от моего iPhone 5s! А когда все же это у него получается то воспроизведение видео длится не долго оно просто обрывается и не дает подключиться повторно! Помогает перезагрузка Apple TV и жесткий сброс посредством удержания кнопки "HOME" и кнопки "POWER". На "Apple TV" стоит последняя прошивка так же эти проблемы проявлялись и на предыдущей прошивке устройства.
    2. Встроенный в систему Браузер "Safari".
    Вкладки в "Safari" стали постоянно обновляться когда я переключаюсь на другое приложение или на другие вкладки! Явная нехватка оперативной памяти (на iOS 7.1.2 с этим все гораздо лучше. по крайней мере при переключение вкладок не происходило повторное обновление предыдущей вкладки).
    Воспроизведение онлайн видео на не оптимизированном для мобильных устройств сайте в браузере "Safari" толком не работает! Оно включается и загружается чуть ли не до бесконечности! Порой просто черный экран с иконкой "Play" на которою нажимай хоть 100 раз, а результата 0!
    Пролистывание страниц в браузере стали до ужаса резкими и не плавными! на iOS 7.1.2 все прекрасно, плавно и красиво и таких багов нет! Общая заторможенность и задумчивость браузера "Safari".
    Если видео все же запускается (что для меня приравнивается к чуду) то при перемотке фильма происходит вообще что-то непонятное... Перемотка сама выбирает с какой минуты и секунды мне смотреть фильм (чаще просто начинает воспроизводить все с самого начала) либо не реагирует вовсе... Эта та самая магия Apple? Непохоже.
    3. Меню многозадачности (двойное нажатие кнопки "HOME").
    Вызов многозадачности (посредством двойного нажатия кнопки "HOME") стал работать с задержкой, с лагом, c дерганой анимацией, а порой и вовсе без нее.
    Центр управления (который вызывается свайпом снизу вверх) стал тормозить! Да! Именно тормозить! Анимация выпрыгивания шторки центра управления стала воспроизводиться с ощутимой потерей кадров! Если на iPhone 5s под управление OS iOS 7.1.2 все происходило плавно, красиво и динамично то в iOS 8.0 все выглядит как на iPhone 5 под управлением iOS 7.с чем это связанно решительно не понятно! Графические отличия iOS 7 от iOS 8 практически равны 0, а скорость работы сниженна практически на 50%! Как?! Почему?! Почему мой iPhone 5s стал iPhone 5?! Это искусственное замедление моего устройства для повышения спроса на iPhone 6 или все же недоработка iOS 8.0 для iPhone 5s? Дорогая компания Apple, я очень надеюсь на 2-е.  Особенно эту нехватку fps в анимации шторки заметно если открыть многозадачность (посредством двойного нажития кнопки "HOME") и вызвать центр управления и вы увидите что анимация проигрывается рывками и не плавно! На IOS 7.1.2 такого нет! Центр управления выпрыгивает плавно и красиво! На iOS 8.0 это происходит постоянно! Даже если отключить избранные контакты и недавние вызовы (я грешным делом подумал на них) которые появились в iOS 8 (они находятся выше программ на панели многозадачности) проблему не решить. Так же, если вызвать центр управления на экране блокировки то падение FPS будет очень заметно даже для неподготовленного зрителя (особенно если взять два iPhone 5s один под управление iOS 7 и второй на iOS 8 и сравнить их в лоб). Если в центре управления нажать кнопку airdrop (air play) то анимация ее появления опять таки проиграется рывками и ужасно не красиво и не плавно (особенно заметно на экране блокировки и при сравнение в лоб)! При телефонном вызове происходит уже совсем уж бессовестное падение FPS при вызове центра управления и при других действиях!
    И да, для меня это критичная проблема!  Я не хочу чтобы при переходе на iOS 9 мой iPhone 5s превратился в iPhone 4 на iOS 7 (Вы видь все помните эту страшную историю?)! Я хочу чтобы мой iPhone 5s работал так же плавно как и на iOS 7.1.2! Ни каких оправданий для этой искувсственной заторможенности я не вижу! iOS 8 красивей не стала! графических элементов больше не появилось! Так выходит компания Apple делает это специально?! Идем дальше по списку!
    4. мелкие баги которые просто разрывают мой мозг и убивают всю красоту использования "Самой лучшей мобильной операционной системы в мире"!
    4.1. При входящем вызове когда вы нажали иконку принятия вызова телефон еще около 2-3 секунд вибрирует и проигрывает мелодию. На iOS 7.1.2 мелодия и вибрация останавливается как только вы приняли вызов и вам в ухо не играет ваш рингтон в исполнении "imagine Dragons", по щекам не бьет придуманная вами вибрации в стиле "Тик-тоник".
    4.2. Когда смотришь страницы в интернете телефон ужасно-ужасно сильно греется! Парой обжигающе сильно! На iOS 7.1.2 такой проблемы нет! Телефон горячий, но не так сильно как на iOS 8.0!
    4.3. Папки на домашнем экране открываются с задержкой в 0.5-1 секунду это сказывается на общем впечатлении от iOS 8.0.
    4.4. При создании множества (12 штук) иконок в одной папке если резко открыть папку и сделать свайп влево то следующие иконки в этой папке не успевают загрузиться и отображаются с задержкой в 1 секунду.
    4.5. При создании папки с 1-9 иконками если проделать описанное выше действие то произойдет сбой анимации (этот же баг есть и в iOS 7.1.2). Это крайне не приятно эстетически.
    4.6. Пролистывание в приложении "Настройки" стало ужасно дерганым. Хотя не только в приложении "Настройки" но и по всей системе и в приложениях в целом...
    4.7. Пролистывание на Домашнем экране стало менее отзывчивое на действия пользователя все движения иногода происходят с дерганой анимацией и какой-то задержкой на действия пользователя.
    4.8. Довольно часто и без объяснимой причины происходит отключения сенсора устройства. То есть экран не реагирует ни на какие действия пользователя! Помогает нажатие кнопки "HOME" либо жесткий сброс посредством удержания кнопки "HOME" и "POWER".
    4.9. Большинства людей на  iPhone 5s пропадает связь с сотовым оператором. Просто берет и теряется и из за этого я уже пропускал звонки от своих близких и друзей (стоило бы вам порадоваться, что я не пропустил звонки по рабочим вопросам).
    5.0. Многие обладатели iPhone 5s и iPhone 5 жалуются на ухуджение работы аккумулятора. Я честно говоря этого не заметил, но не будем сбрасывать этого со счетов.
    Итог.
    А теперь встает довольно интересный вопрос, почему? Почему мой iPhone 5s стал тормозить? Почему при отсутствии графических улучшений абсолютно одни и те же действия стали воспроизводится с потерей fps, тормозить, лагать, зависать, вылетать? Почему если положить рядом iPhone 5s на iOS 7.1.2 и точно такой же iPhone 5s на iOS 8.0 и вытянуть панель управление, вызвать панель многозадачности, провести все остальные действия описанные мною то на устройстве под управлением iOS 7.1.2 все будет работать без каких либо задержек, лагов, ухудшение в отзывчивости интерфейса, уменьшении fps и просто без вылетов из приложений написанных непосредственно компанией Apple? Я не вижу абсолютно ни каких преград в том чтобы сделать так чтобы iPhone 5s под управлением операционной системой iOS 8.0 работал с той же плавностью, с той же отзывчивостью и скоростью, что и iPhone 5s под управлением iOS 7.1.2! Не вижу от того, что этих ограничений нет!
    Есть еще множество различных багов о которых я сейчас даже не вспомню (так как этот текст я пишу на эмоциях (положительных) так как смог откатить свой iPhone 5s обратно на iOS 7.1.2  и он как будто ожил новой жизнью) и пока глубокоуважаемая мною компания APPLE не устранит эти не доработки я не буду возвращаться обратно на iOS 8.0! если устроения этих багов, недоработок, умышленного ухудшения работы (практически одинакового по производительности в сравнении с iPhone 6) IPhone 5s не произойдет и компания APPLE будет и дальше относиться к потребителям своей продукции как к бета тестерам я буду вынужден организовать петицию и подать коллективный иск в суд не только в своей стране (коей является Российская Федерация) но и в США и в других странах где людей так же как и меня пытаются обмануть, ввести в заблуждение и заставить покупать новые устройства компании APPLE не дав на то ни каких более существенных объяснений кроме как < iPhone 6 стал на 25% мощнее по с равнению с iPhone 5s>!
    P.s.
    Я надеюсь компания Apple все еще прислушивается к своим пользователям и я так же надеюсь, что она (Apple) все же одумается и постарается в ближайшее время дать пользователям не таких уж и старых устройств (iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad mini Retina) наслаждаться и дальше всеми новыми возможностями операционной системы iOS 8 без лагов, подвисаний, перегревов, заторможенной анимации. Спасибо, что вы есть!

    Agreed! This bug with the ringtone delay (№4.1) is really annoying

  • How do I clone a fully operational system that relies on Windows 7 for the underlying operating system?

    I'm a retired IT professional desiring to assist a friend who owns a small business who recently experienced very malicious attacks on her computers from unknown parties operating anonymously on the Internet. Because
    of her lack of preparation for such events, her future ability to continue to conduct her business was seriously threatened. The incident revealed, to my friend, the need to be prepared to deal with spontaneously occurring problems that create suspicious conditions
    that arise with modern computer software before they can be analyzed in a sufficiently comprehensive manner to have an opinion regarding the appropriate course of action for obtaining a permanent remedy. In that, the ability to quickly react on the basis of
    only suspicion is the goal.
    I want to recommend an approach that involves maintaining an offline image of an operational system that is capable of running any of her computers. This image needs to include all of the software required to run
    her business. In that, it is not limited to the operating system. This single image could then be used to restore any computer to a known reliable state should the need arise. This technique will also insure that each computer has sufficiently similar capability
    to allow them to substitute for each other. Insofar as image restoration is itself an operation susceptible to causing unacceptable business delay I'm also recommending that each of the identical computers (i.e., from a hardware perspective) operate in a multi-boot
    environment where a virtually offline backup can be instantiated via a simple reboot (i.e., an operation that all users of the Windows operating systems turn to when strange behavior is first observed). My intention is to limit the cloned system (i.e., partition
    or C: drive) to the operational software. The business data along with storage for temporary data will be isolated on other partitions (i.e, mounted with other drive letters) accessible by each instance of the software eligible for multi-boot operation.
    This kind of operation is something that I know how to setup on older versions of the Windows operating system. However, Microsoft has now dropped support for all of those operating systems and my much more limited
    experience with the currently supported operating systems reveals that changes to the boot process will necessitate making changes to the specific preparations needed to build such an environment.
    Before recommending that my friend replace all of her computers with new ones, that includes paying for new operating system (i.e., Windows) licenses, I need some assurance that the new operating systems are as
    good as the old ones in this respect. These need to be relatively inexpensive desktop computers and we're only talking about a few of them. Let's say fewer than half a dozen. My friend is a sole proprietor and even though her business has become completely
    dependent on what was once called personal computers she must operate on a fairly tight budget. This especially includes the budget for technology.
    The articles I've been able to find on the Microsoft support websites seem to treat multi-boot as a situation where someone is running different versions of possibly difference operating systems whereas my need
    to produce a single image that will both run on multiple computers as well as multiple partitions on the same computer. I'd appreciate finding some technical advice that applies to building such a system using a supported version of Windows.

    I tried the image creation/restoration described by Jared.  I don't think it makes much sense to rely on an operational system to do such a restoration therefore I opted for method 3 which involves using a "System Repair Disk".  My first
    reaction is what a crude tool.  The image creation process had no trouble putting the image on a simple network share.  However, it appeared as though the restoration couldn't even connect with the device.  I then copied the files to a USB drive. 
    In this case the repair disk said it couldn't find the files even though they were there.  It offered no mechanism to even look and see what was there.  It appears as though it will only find the image if it is located in a folder by the certain
    name used on creation and it is in root directory.  Not very handy.
    As ugly as all that was when we finally come to the point of making the restore it looks like the only option is to restore the entire disk, which in my case would mean also restoring both the windows partition and the recovery partition.  This just
    isn't what I want to do.  It is also something I wouldn't even consider doing unless it was the only possible way to recover from a failed hard drive.
    In summary, unless I've completely failed to notice how it works that just isn't going to work.
    I hope there is something better than this.  What about WinPE and ImageX?
    Absent anything useful from Microsoft it will be necessary to try using other software.  Time to try Acronis!  I guess.
