The death of a G4

Right, I've had my dual mirror drive G4 for about 3 years. alll of a sudden it's started coming up with the dreaded "you need to restart your mac" screen. It even displayed some white text surrounded by black screen over the top of my desktop the other day. It's generally behaving extremly eratically and bizzare.
I use a maintenance app and have reset my vram, what else can I do to restore it to its former beauty???

  • I have the deathly white screen. Help please !

    Hi There, My blackberry curve has the deathly white screen and I would love some help to fix it.  I have looked at older posts but my problem is that I work from a mac not a PC and the solution posted was for a PC.  Please can you help!

    There is nothing to be done.
    If the app requires a newer ios version then you have, then you cannot use that app.

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 in 3D?

    Any one else heard this rumor? I saw it on a news site earlier, but couldn't access the actual page because it tried to make my computer die...and MuggleNet is blocked at work...
    Any information, thoughts about it , etc?
    Don't take what I say as being absolute. There's always room for improvement.

    The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog is reporting that Warner Bros. will release both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 3D. The article reads:
    "Early 3D-conversion tests on Warners' remake of 'Clash of the Titans' have gone so well that -- combined with boosted enthusiasm for 3D in the wake of the 'Avatar' tsunami -- the Burbank studio has decided to release not only 'Titans' but also the two-part 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' in 3D."
    The cost of transferring each film to 3D will be roughly $5 million. The company will pay an additional $5 million per picture for 3D glasses to theaters handling the movies.
    Please treat this all as a rumor until we receive confirmation from Warner Bros.

  • The death of BT Anywhere?

    With BT being unable to provide the software for VOIP on the current BT BBA mobiles, & with the removal of VOIP via a DECT connection on th new V3 home hub, I'm wondering if this is also the beginning of the end for BT BBA? 
    I've posted most of what I was told when I rang up for my MAC code here on the forums.

    Exciting for who one wonders
    Perhaps the future is IP phones, where you keep the same phone number, no matter where you are.
    With IPV6 just around the corner, there will be enough IP addresses to allow this. At present, this is only viable within corporate networks.
    These phones would fit very well into BTs 21CN, which is IP based.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • What happened to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1?

    It is no longer available for purchase on the iTunes store, yet there's a broken link to it and part 2 is available for preorder.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/charts/movies/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-p art-1/
    It is also available on Amazon as an instant download. 

    I suspect you're right about licensing, because the same thing has happened with most of the earlier Harry Potter films. They appeared in the iTunes Store on or about the DVD release date, then disappeared until approximately the next movie's DVD release date. I'm sure Deathly Hallows 1 will reappear eventually.

  • Why isn't Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 for sale, but Part 2 is?

    Why isn't Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 available for sale, but Part 1 is? This makes no sense.

    Jennie,
    Items often go on and off sale in the Store, especially items (like Harry Potter movies) whose distribution is being closely managed by the label, in this case Warner Brothers.
    It will probably come back on sale, but we don't know when.  If you don't want to wait, you can buy it on DVD.

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

    Does anyone know why Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is not available in the ITunes Store? Part 2 is available, but not Part 1. Why?

    But I purchased Part One through iTunes.  It's here on my hard drive.  But it's not appearing in the iTunes store.  I found an outside link here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/charts/movie-rentals/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-ha llows-part-1/
    When you click it, it tells you that this item is not available in the US store.  In iTunes on my computer both the movie and the iTunes extras are showing as an Unknown Album.  Makes it much harder to find in my library.
    What's going on?

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 is available on Box office from 5th December, is there any chance BT will also run Part 1 as well so we can see both.
    Del.

    I think if they had the rights they would. Do you know that for £20 you can get all eight films including the above as a box set from Amazon?

  • Where's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1?

    I'd like to rent Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 but it seems to be missing from iTunes.  I actually thought I rented it there before.  What happened to it? Why can't I rent it now?

    A bunch of people have asked this recently.  The distributor, Warner Borthers, has for the moment taken Part1 off sale, for reasons that are entirely up to them. 
    It will likely come back on sale at a future date, although we can't say when. 
    In the meantime, you may wish to pick it up on DVD.

  • Catalyst the death of Director

    Part of me thought more and more as Flash and Action Script
    advanced that (as a lingo developer) I was seeing the death of
    Director. That was until Adobe released Director 11. However I now
    get the feeling that this release might be the last as Catalyst
    rolls forward I see a lot of similarities.
    What do others think. Is Catalyst the new Director?

    The Flash Platform and the ubiquity of the SWF is killing
    Director. Not Flash Catalyst. Flash Catalyst is just an alternative
    way to produce engaging experiences through the SWF format. Flash
    used to be purely a design tool. A nifty way to make animations.
    But today, Flash can create some serious applications. Flash
    Catalyst will become the primary interface for designers to create
    Rich Internet Applications. Flash Professional will be the
    playground for animators and some high end actionscript-based
    motion, interaction and advertising. And Flex will be a framework
    to allow developers to easily create applications in the SWF
    format. All of these, however, will create AIR applications. Which
    are the true competitor to Director.
    In the end though, Adobe AIR needs a runtime to run
    it’s applications, and Adobe’s security model on AIR is
    pretty strict. Shockwave files are a bit deeper than that, and
    probably have less restrictions on them... So maybe there is still
    some life to Director?

  • The Death of Logic Pro?

    What happen to Apple's Pro Audio application team with the development of the new version of Logic Pro. Maybe is not a new version of Logic.
    Is death, discontinue? What is going on?

    Logic Pro 9 and previous versions..  yes... Always scans AUs.. each time it starts...
    LPX... No.. Only needs to scan again when a new one is added.... One of the nice things about LPX!

  • The deaths of 2 iPod Classics

    My gen 6 iPod (160gb) died right after reorganizing my music and loading nearly 50,000 songs.  After the sync, it wouldn't turn on.  The Apple store said it was the hard drive.  I traded it in (for $179) for the latest, gen 7 Classic (160gb).  The same exact thing happened, death after loading the 50,000 tunes. It won't turn on.  Yes, I tried resetting it.  I haven't taken it to the Apple store yet, but I'm inclined to think it's not going to be workable.  I never even got a chance to listen to anything.  Is there a problem with putting so many songs on?  Should I give up and settle for less space with an iTouch?

  • RE: (forte-users) Sv: (forte-users) The Death ofForte

    This is what I got today:
    Statement of Direction
    Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    Forté 4GL(tm) Product (formerly the Forté Application Environment)
    Product Context
    · Forté 4GL is an award-winning, proven product with many unique
    advantages for building enterprise business systems that are distributed,
    that involve the integration of existing business systems as well as new
    functionality, and that target heterogeneous runtime environments.
    · Forté 4GL is recognized by Gartner Group as the most successful
    Enterprise Application Development Tool.
    · The Sun Microsystems, Inc. (SMI) development tools group (formerly
    Forté Software, Inc.) has a strong internal commitment to Forté 4GL. Forté
    Fusion is written with, and is currently being enhanced with Forté 4GL.
    · The SMI development tools group intends to actively enhance and
    promote Forté 4GL for the indefinite future. The best opportunity for
    attracting new customers is to leverage the ability of Forté 4GL to easily
    build powerful shared business services (server components) that can be
    accessed by non-Forté clients (e.g., browsers, Java clients) and that can
    easily integrate with new and existing business systems.
    · The product enhancement plan calls for continuing to issue
    incremental releases approximately twice a year. To speed the release of new
    functionality, new features will be included with "preview status." This
    means that the overall release can support production deployments, but that
    the features marked "preview" are certified for development and demos.
    · The planned contents of the next two releases are indicated below.
    Users should not expect any features other than those on the list. The
    contents of subsequent releases will be determined approximately a year in
    advance.
    · SMI has retained the Forté field sales organization as an
    independent unit whose primary product offerings are Forté 4GL and Forté
    Fusion. Continued volume sales of Forté 4GL remain the foundation of our
    business plan.
    Mid-Year Release
    · Tentatively labeled "release 3.5" to be distributed as a free
    product enhancement for customers under maintenance
    · Scheduled for Summer 2000
    · Defining features
    · Introspection (reflection) - the ability for an object to describe
    itself at runtime
    · Improved integration with applications developed using
    Forté-for-Java Community Edition(tm) (formerly NetBeans)
    · Platform support improvements to track important operating system
    and database vendor activity
    · Target features
    · Display system enhancements (e.g., Motif 2 support, line arrowheads,
    window refresh control, editable outline fields)
    · Dynamic library loading
    · Improved CORBA/IIOP support
    · Improved XML and XSLT class support
    · JMQ support
    End-Year Release
    · Tentatively labeled "release 3.6" to be distributed as a free
    product enhancement for customers under maintenance
    · Scheduled for year end 2000
    · Defining features
    · Any Release 3.5 target features that were not included in 3.5
    · Generation of EJB interfaces for R3 service objects
    · Platform support improvements to track important operating system
    and database vendor activity
    · Target features
    · COBOL record handling as part of the OS390 transaction adapter
    · Improved runtime security
    · Interface classes for access to Netscape Server 4.0 and possibly
    other web servers
    Longer Term Product Directions
    1. TOOL code to Java code migration. Neither release 3.5 nor 3.6 will
    contain an automated solution in this area. Technical differences between
    TOOL and Java make a 100% automated conversion all but impossible. A
    workable solution is likely to involve a combination of tools and services.
    2. Common repository between the 4GL and Java products. The recently
    devised Java Tools Strategy has necessitated a change in the technology base
    for our Java products to make them compatible with both the iPlanet
    Application Server and the Forté for Java Community Edition. This, in turn,
    has complicated our original vision of a common repository to the point that
    we will not embark on this project. Instead, we have elevated
    interoperability a short-term priority. In addition, we plan to migrate the
    Fusion process definition tools to Java, thereby enabling Fusion definitions
    to be stored in a common repository with Java code and components.
    3. Other long-term enhancements will be determined by additional
    customer and market feedback. A major criterion for new functionality will
    be enhancing the revenue generating ability of the product, thereby
    fostering its long-term health in the marketplace.
    As our products continue to evolve, the features and specifications
    described in this document are subject to change without notice. Sun
    Microsystems cannot guarantee the completion of any future products or
    product features mentioned in this Statement of Direction. By signing
    below, the receiving Company agrees that it has not relied on, is not
    relying on and will not rely on the potential availability of any future Sun

  • "heap limit" - or the death of a perfectly sound web application ;-)

    hi everyone,
    i am running a web app on tomcat 6. There is this specfic feature in the web application where i need to parse data from a csv file and programatically place data in an excel file.
    i am using these api's :
    jexcelapi
    ostermillerutil
    here is the code
    // Parsing CSV file
              CSVParser p = new CSVParser(in);
              p.setCommentStart("#;!");
              p.setEscapes("nrtf", "\n\r\t\f");
              String[] line = null;
              Label label = null;
              WritableSheet sheet = writeWorkbook.createSheet("Data", 0);     
              int rowCount = 0;
              try {
                   while ((line = p.getLine()) != null) {
                        for (int column=0; column < line.length; column++) {

                                  label = new Label(column,rowCount, line[column]);
                                  sheet.addCell(label);

                        rowCount++;                    
              catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
              }the problem is a quite outOfMemory error cause in the while loop.
    Its clear that the amout of data (aprox. 26000 rows of data - about 100megs of data) is the problem. My question is any of you can see anything i could optimize the loop with so that the app wont burst ;-)
    yours,
    Jazz

    the problem is a quite outOfMemory error cause in the
    while loop.
    Its clear that the amout of data (aprox. 26000 rows
    of data - about 100megs of data) is the problem. I have a great problem understanding why you need to process 100megs of data in a web application since you are unlikely to be shipping the 100megs to the client for display. I can only see some sense to it if your web application is offering a conversion service but even then you will still have an upload of 100megs followed by a download of 100megs. If you are offering a conversion service then because of the memory requirement you will probably be limited to just one client at a time anyway.
    Not what you would call a sound scalable solution to a problem.
