Ram added, now G5 makes different noises

Hi i added 2x 1Ghz Crucial Tech ram to my g5 2.0GHz (bringing it to 2.5 gigs of ram total) and i instantly noticed the machine seemed to be making more tick tick tick hard drive noise. I'd expect it to make less of these noises if its needing less virtual memory no?
Anyone else had this? Got any thoughts?

Hmm... I added 2 gigs of Crucial to the prehistoric Rev A below and it runs like a train. Oops - that's not really appropriate for the UK, is it!
If you are sure it is disc access, and apart from Spotlight indexing...? or a boot drive getting full...? excess VM action tends to show up as poor performance, also.

IPhone only makes alert noises when screen is lit up

For some reason my iPhone now only makes alert noises for new emails, texts, etc if the screen is lit up. If the screen is black, it doesn't make any noise so i never know i got an email or text. Is there a setting for this somewhere?

Go into Settings > Notification Center and tap each app to see if "Show on lock screen" is set to ON (green side showing)

ITunes makes different folders when adding music,videos & pictures

Hi,
I use Windows 7. I have found that when adding music,videos & pictures iTunes makes different folder for it.
I have around 17GB of songs & music. but when I added them to iTunes library it made different folder containing all my songs. Now I have around 34GB of songs. What the ****! It does same for videos & pics.
Please Help!

Hi,
When adding a new song (or any media file) to the iTunes library, it copies those files to a folder (usually C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music ). iTunes does this to keep a backup of your songs. To deactivate this go to Edit>Preference>Advanced (or Ctrl+, then go to Advanced) and uncheck the checkbox "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". iTunes will not copy the music files to its folder. But there is one downside to doing so, if you change the directory (folder or place) of the music that you added to the iTunes library (without copying to its folder), the music will not be played. Trying to play such a song will provide you with a messagebox that asks you to relocate the song or to ignore it. So it is always a good idea to allow iTunes copy the music files to the specified folder automatically. But if you are concerned about the disk space, you can delete the songs' copy of yours (the directory you select).
If you want to add some songs to the iTunes Media folder, you right click a song (or multiple songs) and click on "Consolidate Files...". These songs will be copied to the iTunes Media folder and it will be there whatever happens.
If you are afriad that copying a songs will not allow you to copy the music files to another directory from the iTunes Media folder, you shouldn't be. The folder is similar to that of anyother.
Adding a song without using iTunes is also possible, just copy the songs you want to add to "C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes".
Regards,

Dropped my macbook pro, now it makes a whirling noise at start up. What should I do?

Dropped my macbook pro, now it makes a whirling noise at start up. What should I do?

Is there any signs of damage on the outside? Under warranty? If no signs and still under warranty, take it to the applestore and play dumb. If there are obvious signs of a fall, then your warranty will be voided and you have the option of paying for the repair or living with the sound and waiting for a failure of some sort.

RAM and GPU ultrahot and extreme noise from Z400

Dear All, I just bought this machine, got rid of the 4 GB of RAM already installed in it and bought 24 GB of Corsair RAM (the only result coming up on their website when using Z400 as a query) for it.The system runs really well, except for how incredibly loud the case fan is, and that the RAM measure 70-80 degrees C (Celsius!!!) in the BIOS. GPU (Nvidia Quadro 295) I measure to 60-70 C in Hwmonitor. I can at least remove one of the two graphics cards, which could help a bit.For the CPU, mobo and HDD, all temps are good = no more than 40 C.How is this possible?I´m wondering if I did right by putting all the nearby cables "inside" of the airflow guide when putting it back on after installing the RAM. The ones from the PSU would have to be there anyway since the PSU is next to it.Is it possible that I have pulled up the power cable for another chassis fan? The one on the backside is indeed spinning.Let it be said that there are about 10 cms till where the wall is from the backside of the PC, and the temp in the room is around 30 C at the moment.This of course makes things hot, but such hot GPU and RAM when system is doing nothing is not normal, and the case fan making such noise trying to cool at (running at about 2200 RPM) shouldn´t be necessary I suppose.I upgraded the BIOS and I see that the fan is at the lowest setting. Moving it up REALLY makes it noise. Thanks in advance!

Jazz, With HWMonitor, the free version, from CPUID.com you can see the RAM stick's individual temps due to having an internal thermisitor built into each stick. Mine in this souped up xw6600 are running currently about 70C, and the ambient air here measured by HWMonitor vit its "TMPIN2" listing is 19C. Cool morning.... There are 3 other measured temps at the top in HWMonitor termed Motherboard, CPU, and TMPIN3. Those also are thermisitor readings, but those thermisitors are part of the motherboards, and I've never been able to figure out exactly where they are located. The only one that is built in to a cable is that ambient air one, which in the case of the xw4600 and probably your Z400 is zip tied to the front case metal grill, and for the xw6400/xw6600/etc. is integrated into the shrink wrap of the front I/O cable. It is in the front view pic of the metal case of the xw4600 Ghetto Mod post just barely visible as a black device seen through the second square hole near the top left of the fan, located just above the fan plastic outside edge. It gets accurate ambient air info in that position. Do me the favor of looking in this forum for "ghetto mod" because I just re-loaded all the pictures that got lost when HP ported our business workstation forum over to this new location. The Ghetto Mod search will get you to my two main posts on this, and the one you really want to review is that for the xw4000/Z400 series, but the other has some good added info. I'm starting to think that your Corsair in-stick memory thermisitor readings may be interpreted incorrectly by HWMonitor, and you may wish to contact Corsair to find a utility that they know to work properly with the thermisitors they embed in their sticks. Some added info from prior work: The official front card guide/fan holder for the xw4600, xw4500, xw4400 and perhaps your Z400 could hold a 92x92x25mm fan, and its part number is 325092-001. Here is what it looks like, and below are views from the top, then bottom. This particular part is one of 3 fan holders that came in a kit from HP that included a 92mm PWM front fan (kit was option part number DY648A). I cannot confirm that this will work in the Z400, but all those cases are very much alike, and you can see if the appropriate holes are in your front metal when comparing to my pics from the xw4600: Finally, there appears to be a newer version of the fan holder for the Z400 and perhaps the Z420 which likely has the same attachment tabs as the old one, 604781-003, and also look under -002 and -001. This newer part may be directly available with proper fan from HP. View from top, and the new projection to the right would cover the speaker. The fan sits behind the card holder slots you see, and I never use the video/PCI card extensions that need to be added to engage in those slots:

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

NOt an iPhoto issue - either a bad CD or a bad Superdrive on your computer - no way for us to tell try the CD in a different computer

How can I make different catalogs from the same image

How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

Did not listen to 'do not disconnect' and now there's a noise and a sad ipo

It all started when I was in a hurry and ejected my ipod from itunes. As usual, it was removed from the Source list but my ipod still said 'do not disconnect.' I unplugged it and left. Hours later I was at my friends house and plugged it into her laptop to get some of her songs. It wasn't recognized in her Source list and it started to make weird, loud, grinding noises. I reset it and the sad ipod face guy came up. I went to the support page and it said to fully charge it before anything else. So, all last night I charged it and it continued to make that horrible noise all night. I went back to the 5 R's and tried all of them. I finally went to restore it but it's showing that icon that means that it isn't charged enough for the computer to recognize it. Similarily, the ipod updater keeps asking me to plug in an ipod, even though it's plugged in. Now, every couple of minutes, as my ipod is plugged in to my comp via USB, the apple icon shows up, it makes that noise and then the sad guy pops up. What should I do? (I apologize for the length but there's just so much going on with this.)

Strange noises are a telltale sign of hardware failure. If you want to be totally sure that your iPod is a baddie, reset your iPod, and when the apple logo is showing, press and hold the rewind and clicker buttons for several seconds. When you do this, the iPod should "chirp" and the apple will reverse. Now it's in diagnostic mode. After doing this, try to run the automatic tests. (note that when in this mode, the trackpad doesn't work, you have to use the rewind and fast forward buttons to go back and forth). Have iPod plugged in when doing this. If you end up with a sad iPod icon, then it needs to be sent in...

I am now using a different MacBook Pro, and want to install my CC, I have done that and downloaded the Photoshop App but its a trial version. How do I get the full version of the apps?

I had a new MacBook Pro that was damaged and I am now using a different MacBook pro as my primary computer (running yosemite 10.10.1).
I did uninstall the Creative Cloud off the old MacBook before I stopped using it.
I have downloaded the Creative Cloud and signed in using my adobe username and password, but when I went to download the Photoshop App it is only giving me the TRIAL VERSION.
How do I make sure that the apps are the full version that I have already paid for? (I do know that my subscription is still current)
Thanks for your help

Shawn I would recommend utilizing the steps in Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html to resolve the connection error which is likely preventing the software from authenticating.

When I plug in my iPhone it makes the noise and charges, but wont bring it up in iTunes. It brings up my iPhone in a file under my computer

When i plug in my Iphone it makes the noise and charges, but wont bring it up in itunes. Instead it brings up my iphone in a file under my documents... Any help..??

Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album. These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer. If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar. Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

How to make different folders in photo album

I have been addings photos in album. Now I want to make different folders in the album but unable to do so. Please guide.

I may be misunderstanding what you want to do,
You can create albums on the iPad in order to organize photos but I believe that you must be running iOS 5 at least. Your tagline shows iOS 4.3.2. It's been quite a while since I was running iOS 5, but I'm pretty sure it was introduced in iOS 5.
If you are running iOS 5 or higher, launch the photos app and tap on Photos, then tap on the Edit button in the upper right. Select all of the photos that you want to place into an album by tapping on them. Then tap on Add To and choose Add to New Album. Name the new Album in the popup window and then tap Save.
If you are not running iOS 5 - you have to import the photos from the camer roll to your computer, creat the albums on the PC and then sync them back to the iPad via iTunes.

Ipod HD makes cracking noises when turning..

My HD makes cracking noises when I try to search a song, or photo..
I have him for 3 weeks now, and he didn't do it before. It just sounds like normal hard-drive sounds my old computer makes, but in my opinion it's not normal.
anyone experience with this?

I had that problem too before.
I waited for 2 days and it stopped.
My friends banged it on the floor and it was perfect (exepet for a small dent.)

Ram added, now G5 makes different noises
