PowerMac G5 Quad - 2 issues that require your assistance ...
Hi Everyone ... I used to hang-out here a few years back under the handle KentZ, but I can't get back into my account for the life of me ... guess I have to start fresh.
I've been experiencing a few problems as of late with my PowerMac G5 Quad and I'm hoping someone may have some insight. I've tried the obvious "solutions", but please mention them, just in case I missed something - no such thing as condescension on this thread!
1] Fans - I'm not one to complain about fan noise on this machine, though I do have one weird issue. Upon start-up, the fans sound strained (can happen randomly) as though I'm running a small batch process or something. If I then go into sys prefs/energy saver/options and cycle the processor performance from highest to reduced and then back to highest, the fans drop back to idle speed. Works every time, but why is this happening?
Here are the stats:
All CPU fans are around 1455-1500 rpm and the radiator pump is at 3600 rpm. Drive bay spins at 1000 rpm, expansion slots at 1560 rpm, and MLB fan spins at 1100 rpm.
AFTER I toggle the energy saver/options:
All CPU fans are around 970-1000 rpm and the radiator pump is at 1250 rpm. Drive bay spins at 1000 rpm, expansion slots at 1560 rpm, and MLB fan spins at 1100 rpm.
Something to do with the CPUs ...?
2] The more serious issue: system hangs. Generally, when I'm doing something that's graphically intensive: expose-ing a lot, happens all-the-time in Aperture, happened tonight twice while watching an imbedded video online. Usually, the cursor still moves around and sound may continue, but the system is completely frozen and I have to do a hard reboot. Sometimes it happens when I'm nowhere near the machine. Any idea what this may be? I ran a RAM test a while back and all appeared OK.
Thank you everyone for reading and/or commenting.

Hello KenZ, and a warm re-welcome to the forums!
I can't get back into my account for the life of me ...
I've seen a few of these and asked, highers ups have mentioned "User Error", but I don't buy it myself.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
While it can still can be HW such as Video Card, Airport, etc., If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check System Preferences' Other row.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
I ran a RAM test a while back and all appeared OK.
Unfortunately, the only time you can trust a RAM test if it reports an error, not if it doesn't, seems OSX "Tests" the RAM more than any test.

What to do when "library has issues that require rebuilding to correct"
What to do when you get message "library has issues that require rebuilding to correct"?
Rebuild. What version of iPhoto are you running? If it is iPhoto 9 or later Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Kind attn Mr .Ive - design issue that needs your response
Kind Attention Mr. Jonathan Ive and Team ,
I bought my Iphone 5 with mobile carrier in singapore last december .
Earlier I used Iphone 4/4s /Ipad and now I phone 5 . I am big addict of apple products , so i went for Iphone 5
Iphone 4s design was amazing with a glassy feel and no chances of scratches on to its design . But I dont feel the same in iphone 5
I am a Mechancial Design Engineer - Design is basically to relate with Customer User Interface and easeness .
But day -day usage of my Iphone 5 is frustrating because the No of white scractches to its side is going on increasing .
Am i suppose to use case always ? in that case I would have gone for some low end mobiles where nothing happen even i put it down many times .
I keep it so safe and now I am in a big frustration on getting Iphone 5 . very bad feel like losing value of money
I kindly request Mr.Johnathan Ive and concern Manufacturing dept to revert me on my issue .
Is this the design and manufacturing capability of APPLE ?
Regards

You will not get any response from Apple by posting here or using the feedback pages (which are for comments and suggestions only, not for requests for assistance). If Apple determines that the scratches are due to a faulty coating, not user abuse, they may agree to replace your iPhone.

When I try an open the original project or a copy of it I get this message.
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I have tried to create a new project and get the same message.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program a few times.
The last time I worked on the project I had no issues.
Any suggestions?Hi
a. Open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 - Yes, I get the welcome screen (v9.0). I can choose open project, and choose my project. The program will open and show that it is loading the project with the scroll line will show all the way to 100% and will stay there. Sometimes I get the "Sorry" message and sometimes the loading project window just goes away and nothing is loaded and the program stays on the clock until I close it.
b. You can find the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and deletion of it makes no difference to your issue. - Made no difference
c. Have you deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists? If not, please do so. - Done, made no difference
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? - Running McAfee Total Access Protection. Turned off firewall and anti virus. It works. As a test I left the anti virus off and tried loading project with and with out the firewall turned on. The project loaded each time. I then tested the firewall on, with and with out antivirus. Antivirus off - project loads each time. Antivirus on - doesn't load and program stays on clock.
I will continue to experiment with it and see what happens. The last time I used it I was running a different McAfee product than no. So it seems to work with the Firewall on and the Antivirus off. -
Every time I place a video into the sequence timeline, this error message pops up, "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." and then Premiere crashes.
I tried uninstalling all products and then reinstalling them, and the problem is still there.
What can I do to fix this?@RoninEdits, Thanks for the response.
But yeah, I've tried both the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration AND Software Only and its the same issue with both. -
Are you having problems joining previously used Wi-Fi networks that require you to view a login or redirect page (say to accept Terms of Use) first? The problem could be your Auto-Login Wi-Fi network setting.
I found numerous cases where I could not access in-store Wi-Fi networks (Nordstrom was one), hotel networks or in fact networks where you had to first view a Terms and Conditions page or where you had to login via a web form.
These were all networks I had used before.
This appears to be due to the "Auto-Login" setting assuming that once you (re)join a previously known network you can just go ahead and use it without further action. When the iOS device receives an error trying to use the network, it silently drops the Wi-Fi association.
If this is happening to you, follow these steps:
1) Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
2) Select the network you want to join
3) When a check-mark appears next to the SSID, press the "i" button on the right hand side
4) Set Auto-Join however you want, but shut off the Auto-Login switch
5) Now attempt to use the network and you should be presented with the usual redirect page with terms you must accept or where you must login to use the Wi-Fi network in question
This cleared up the issue for me everywhere I had previously been having issues.Just let me get one thing straight...you don't change don't do this for the PC you have your router plugged in to?
"For Vista:
1. Open Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, Manage Network Connections
2. If Wireless, Right click on your Wireless Network Connection, otherwise, Right click on Local Area Connection and click Properties
3. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4)
4. Click Properties
5. Tick Use the Following IP Address and enter the IP you want to use for that PC. I would start at 192.168.0.100(D-Link) and work your way up on each additional device. The second device would be 192.168.0.101, the 3rd, 192.168.0.102 and so on. Like I said, different brands of routers use different IP's, so it could be 192.168.1.100 and so on, so you will need to know the IP address of your router first.
6. Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 on all pc's and devices
7. Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is on all pc's and devices
8. Tick Use the Following DNS Server Address and enter 192.168.0.1(D-Link) or whatever your router's IP is and click OK.
9. You will need to do this on all Vista Pc's" -
Having issues with patches that require multiple reboots in a task sequence?
Are you guys having issues doing a build and capture or deployment, while including the recent patches ?
It looks like another patch is requiring multiple reboots which breaks the task sequence...
Long story short... the last time I created a .Wim file was in June (with ZTIWindowsUpdate) - it included all the patches as of June 2014. This image has been deployed since then with no problem. All the other monthly patches (07/08/09/10/11/12/01) can be
installed successfully through the deployment task sequence with no problem.
Then last week, I decided to create a new .Wim file to include all the patches as of January 2015. In my build and capture step, it exits because one of the updates requires multiple reboot. I checked on the following website and it has not been updated
since October 22nd : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2894518
Do any of you experiences issues with a WSUS that requires multiple reboot recently ?
Thanks!As mentioned, the MDT offline updates task will do it. Add it to your build and capture and it will do the work for you using the updates in an update package that you've previously created. Alternatively, use a stand-alone instance of MDT to create your
image (using a build and capture TS of course) -- this can then use a stand-alone instance of WSUS to install the updates into your image which you then import into ConfigMgr.

My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???
If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds -
There is an error that says when I am open my project: 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (mac)
This happens to me all the time too. When I attempt to reopen, it makes a "copy of" my project. This is frustrating and happiness often.

The publisher of our text books have an online resource we use to access materials that requires the use of Adobe Reader. For the past few days I have been unable to navigate through the site because there is not a scroll bar or any method to move through the list using the navigation bookmarks provided for that purpose. I have spoken, at length, with the online support team at the publishing company, and we have tried many trouble shooting steps. The technician I was working with also checked on the Adobe website to see if he could find anything else. He and I are both at a loss. As the problem doesn't seem to be on his end (the publisher, website, etc) or my end (my settings for PDF on my computer, version of Adobe, platform, etc.), I am hoping someone might have an idea of how to help solve this issue.
My operating system is Windows 7, I've tried both Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and the Reader version is 11.0.09. In Chrome, the Adobe PDF plugin has been enabled and "always allow" has been selected. The Chrome PDF viewer had been disabled. The adjustments have also been made in Firefox to use Adobe Acrobat.
I appreciate any help or advice you are able to offer. -

PowerMac G5 Quad GeForce 7800 GTX 512mb or Quadro 4500 FX
Hey, best regards for all users. I have a question about changing graphics card. I'll be gratefull for all help.
I have PowerMac G5 Quad Late 2005 - M9592LL/A and OS X Leopard 10.5.8.
My card is GeForce 7800GTX 512MB and Quadro fx4500 model p348.
I'm looking for ROM for this cards for Mac G5. I want to change 6600 for 7800GTX 512MB or Quadro. Cards tested on PC are working.
Anyone can help ? I can't find any info about ROM for this cards.
Thanks all !Both the X1900 (R580) and the 7800 GTX (G70) are capable GPUs on advanced cards, both targeting and supporting Shader Model 3.0. 3D was a focal point in development for either card.
Approaches for shader implementation are very different between the two cards.
Arguements for either abound, but, 3D performance will be a defining factor to show shader prowess.
Architecturally, the cards are very different, but, in the end, memory bandwidth, an important performance feature, is highest with the 7800 GTX; 54.4 GB/s vs. 38 GB/s for the Mac Edition Radeon.
The next X19xx card, the X1950, almost doubled memory bandwidth over the X1900.
I know guys that use flashed X1950 (512 MB) cards really like them.
Support of DirectX 9 and Shader Model 3.0 make either card more than is necessary for OS X Core Image and OpenGL requirements.
You bring up a very important point regarding application specific performance.
Games are one form of benchmark, but not always indicative of real world performance.
In Photoshop, CS4, the 7800 GTX is a fully supported card, whereas the X1900 (256 MB) card is not supported. The 512 MB version of the X1900 is supported, but doesn't help owners of the Mac Edition.
There are pros and cons with either card, eventually driver and OpenGL support being the defining point.
Early driver issues with the X1900 in OS X and a relatively short retail availability likely affect the lack of empirical data on the cards performance.
The following, though comparing a X1900XT (not the little brother X1900GT which is the G5 version) with a Geforce 7800 GTX on platforms other than Mac, the comparisons do show pro oriented application performance.
Though not necessarily applicable to OS X and PPC Macs, I thought it to be an interesting set of tests.
http://ixbtlabs.com/articles2/cpu/nvidia-vs-ati-on-amd-and-intel.html
Either card is great, either is way better than the 6600, and, as you point out, availability is an important factor. -
Error Message: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down.
Hi. I'm having another serious problem with CS4 (the version that comes with CS5 when you don't have 64 bit capability. I just finished a project, had saved it, and then had switched over to Adobe Encoder to create a finished flash video (which worked perfectly). I shut down CS4, went home, tried to restart the main project to create a video from the same project (wanted to make an mpeg version as well) and got the following error message:
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. Then the system shuts down.
Not only can I not open the project I was working on, I cannot open any of my prior projects without receiving the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this issue and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
By the way, is everyone else having the same amount of problems with this software? I've never had any software that has had so many problems from the beginning. My opinion of this software and Adobe in general has gone down substantially.Not enough information for anyone to even make a guess
