Things looking grim for my PC.....

This morning when i booted up i noticed the system time hadn't been updated (or barely) since switching off last night. thinking nothing of it, I've been playing Tomb Raider Legend today and it's been goiing alright for a while, but then the system locks up, so I press restart - nout happens, and the fans spin widly with the hard disk like glowing full on, pressing reset doesn't help nor does the power button, so I use the switch on the PSU to turn off, and then turn back on again.
Restart, all is well and dandy again - try a game like UT2004, things looking fine, temps all look fine really, if just a little warmer due to it being quite warm in my room today. Then while at the desktop, messing about with the MSI temperature monitor, I think I double clicked it too fast and things locked a little - mouse was still fine but when I tried to open task manager to close the apps I probably just made things worse. Anyway, I press reset, and same thing as before happen - fans full on, hard disk light full on (usually it gives a very slow flicker) and I have to turn off at the back of the PSU again. This time though nothing works, it keeps doing the same thing so I turn it off, take the plug out and open up the case, slight dust but nothing to bad, anyway, I turned the rear fan up one notch (Antec Tri Cool) and put it all back together and started up and it worked again.
My PC Spec is:
AMD Athlon64 3800+ AM2
2GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM
160GB Maxtor IDE
Leadtek GeForce 7900GS
MSI K9N Neo-F 550 MCP
Onboard Realtek ALC883
Antec 380watt
Things I did today include formatting a partition on my drive that had previously unallocated space.... I doubt that is the problem though as It doesn't explain the problem when resetting.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm guessing it could be anything right now, but I'm slightly suspecting the PSU.... with motherboard a close second, although I can't rule out hard drive or graphics card for causing issues, but it does seem like a PSU/mobo prob to me. I haven't really got anything I can start swapping for testing.
I was hoping it was just down it being a hot day, and with the rear fan turned up a bit more, maybe less hot air will be hovering near the PSU - CPU was only hitting 43C ish though. :/ Voltages reported by the MSI CoreCenter app seemed what they usually are, nothing different in that regards. The system losing the time though (i.e. not moving forward, clock staying at value it was when turned off) seems a bit odd too though, which made me think of the motherboard
However, It's just crashed again at the desktop for no reason - the bar at the top went greyed out, then the mouse pointer still moved, but nothing worked, then it started a long beep - I reset and it's back in window again :/
Then it crashed within two minutes of loading windows, at which point I turned it off and left it off.
When I think about it, i did get a crash 3 days ago while playing Tomb raider legend that resulted in an auto-restart, so maybe the signs were starting to show then.
Thanks in advanced

Cheers for that, i'll just add an update for today:
Ok, it just started behaving really slow in windows, I tried rebooting and it acted all weird on startup, nearly freezing, then the same problem as before with me having to reset the switch on the back.
I noticed on the one bootup I got, MSI CoreCenter app was saying CPU clockspeed 6335Mhz lol
I've just taken one stick of memory out from the second slot, and it's just booted :/
So maybe it is memory afterall. I'll be testing now to see what happens - I haven't got any case side panels on yet, just connected everything up quick and booted it.
I'll try a game and see what happens, if it doesn't crash after a while, it'll mean it's likely the memory. I opened CoD 2 and played that for a few minutes and that was working, straight after the issues, so hopefully it's just the memory. I can live with only 1GB.

Are Things Looking Grim For Developer2000?

Hi all D2K professionals,
There is a buzz in the S/W Scenario these days suggesting that D2K is down in a big way in the Mrket. Is this True?
I would like some comments from all experienced D2K Professional as well the Oracle Team (Both Forms and Reports Teams).

Yes, what u said is true. But, i can see in the S/w market that the demand for D2k guys are quite less as compared to ASP,VB etc.. The projects also are quite less preferred in D2k than in VB or PB.
What do ya say ?

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

Purchacing a s/h early 2008 MP - things to look out for?

Hi guys, Ive been offered a early 2008 MP at what i would consider to be a reasonable price. It is the 2 x 2.8 quad core model. Currently it has 6gb (not apple) ram & I'll be getting it with the original HD.
Not sure about any other options at this stage.
Just wondering if there are any specific things I need to be aware of with this model & to look out for. I have the serial number of the machine if that's relevant.
This would be my first MP - i have had macs for years but never MPs.
Any advice would be appreciated
cheers

Buying a used iMac G5, tips and things to look out for?

What tips could you guys give me on when looking for a used iMac G5? I like the 20" models specifically and it seems the models are all over 1.6GHz so the speeds are fine.
I currently own a G4 1.67 PowerBook and did a bit of reading up on that before I bought it, seeing what things to look out for what things turned faulty after a while and such. Such as the logic board and the 1 RAM slot going faulty on a few models, recalled batteries, which helped a lot in buying a used one.
I'm looking for a new desktop but can't afford to fork out over 1 grand for the new iMac's and the speed of my PowerBook is enough for my usual browsing and processing and few photos. So please don't bother telling me to buy a new one cos new is always best, I don't mind spending reasonably less and having a decent machine still - 1.67 15" PowerBook has proved well :P

Don't buy a new intel. buy a refurbished one from Apple. The PPC architecture is on its way out, few programs are being written for it, and most new applications are only for intel. I realize that even a refurb might cost a bit more than you planned to spend, but it will be worth it down the road.
Look in the [Apple Store|http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=MTE3NjY], the choice changes daily, so just keep you eye open for the one you want and snap it up. And get Apple Care as well.
Let us know what you ended up with please,

Making 4:3 look good for both 4:3 and 16:9 screens

Hi,
Up until this point I have lived my life in a pleasant 4:3 world. I shot 4:3 footage, edited 4:3 in FCP, sent 4:3 to DVDSP, checked my work on a 4:3 television, and mailed 4:3 DVDs to my customers.
My understanding from playing around with a friend's 16:9 TV, is that the TV owner could push a button to view 4:3 content with bars on the right and left (I think from other contexts this must be called pillarboxing).
Then I brought my baby's videos to my parents' house.
They say the camera adds 10 lbs -- how about 50! I guess if all consumers got used to watching television this way, it would be a huge win for the anti-anorexia people.
My parents could see nothing wrong with the video that was being stretched out to fit their 16:9 television. They watch all their movies this way. They didn't want me to fiddle with the remote because, "they might not be able to get it back the way it was."
I've read the thread "Need help on 16:9" very carefully.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=510426&tstart=0
Unfortunately, it's still a bit too far over my head. From reading that thread, I've come to understand that "letterboxing" is the black bars put above and below 16:9 footage when it is displayed on a 4:3 screen. "Pillarboxing" is adding black bars to the right and left of 4:3 footage so that it displays with the correct aspect ratio on a 16:9 screen.
Unfortunately the term "anamorphic" in the various contexts is lost on me. I know it's a special lens that you use to shoot widescreen footage on 35mm film, but what it means in the DVD context is a bit lost on me.
I want to know:
1. Is it possible to take my 4:3 footage and process it somehow in FCP and DVDSP to make DVDs that will "just work" on both 4:3 televisions and widescreen TVs? That is, I want the image to have the correct aspect ratio on both boxes without the user having to do anything to their TV. (I assume this would mean displaying as-is on 4:3 TV's and pillarboxing automatically on 16:9 TVs)
2. If it is possible, can someone point me to some references on how to accomplish this? Or at least some references that would help me learn enough to choose the right workflow to do this?
Doing a "search" or a "Google Search" for 16:9 tutorial, leads to more hits than is useful and lots of vendors trying to sell me products.
I'm not against buying & reading a book or tutorial, but there is so much out there that I need a push in the right direction first.
3. Looking at the other thread my impression is that if I want to do this, I'd have to find some way to make FCP add the black bars to pillarbox my 4:3 data, then tell DVDSP I've got 16:9 footage. I have no idea how to actually accomplish this (settings, etc.) however.
Whew! And all this is just SD stuff I believe. I still haven't touched HD, but I believe those 16:9 TV's are made for HD but will still display my SD DVDs. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
Thanks so much! These forums have been so helpful. Even though I only occasionally post I read many answers to questions I've had that other people have too.

Hi,
Thank you very much for the reply. Once I'm finished I'll post all my notes so others can benefit. Right now though, I've been having problems fighting compressor all day. I think I broke my computer
I'm currently downloading an update, but that's not going to finish for the next 6 hrs. (I have a very slow network connection, and I tend to only update my programs between projects unless I run into a serious issue.)
Here are the issues I've had and some of the solutions I've found:
* = I found a solution
*1. Originally my compressor .m2v file would not import into DVDSP -- DVDSP would unexpectedly quit every time I even clicked on the file, I didn't even click "import" and it would quit. I renamed my file to no avail (it had a '/' in it, compressor's default file naming turned 16:9 to 16/9). I read on the DVDSP forum that the way around this was to drag my file directly into DVDSP. That worked.
2. I accidently told FCP to "render all" in that 16:9 timeline before sending it to compressor. I did it because I wanted to see how things looked before sending to compressor. Unfortunately, I don't know how to tell FCP to "un-render" the files. Is there a way to do this? I seem to recall that there weren't any files in on FCP's scratch disk when I looked, but I can't check right now (see #4) Problem #2 may be the cause of problem #3, but I can't check that until later either.
3. The disk I created using the compressor-rendered-from-FCP files appeared to have interlace issues. i.e. during times of quick, high-contrast horizontal motion, there were every-other-line streaks left behind. The problem is most easily noticed on computer monitors. There is a small amount of it on the original DVD, but not nearly as much as in the DVD created with compressor. Do you have any recommendations for settings, or is this potentially caused by my rendering in FCP first before going to compressor?
4. The big issue: After using compressor, finder now quits when I click on 2 of my 4 disk drives. (I saved .m2v files on two different disks due to the DVDSP problems in #1. I thought perhaps the first time my file itself was corrupted.) I did searches for this issue and learned that many people have it, and the solution seems to be to right-click on the offending file and choose open with -> other -> quicktime, check the box for all files of this type. Unfortunately, I can't even get finder to get that far.
I tried another solution using one of my disks that still works, I re-named a .mov file to .m2v, and then told that one to open with -> other -> quicktime, check the box for all files of that type. Unfortunately that didn't appear to work as Disk 1 and Disk 4 still cause finder to quit and re-start itself. (Various iterations of reboot, trash finder.plist, etc. thrown in for good measure.)
I am currently downloading these patches:
Apple Qmaster Update 2.0.1
Cinema Tools Update 3.0.3
Compressor Update 2.0.1
Pro Applications Update 2005-02 1.0
Soundtrack Pro Update 1.0.3
I don't even know how many of those I really need. I already have FCP 5.0.4 and DVDSP 4.0.3. That should finish sometime tomorrow, but if the patches don't work I could use some advice. I guess I could go into the Unix side of things and manually delete all the .m2v files, but I've been hesitant to do that because they took so long to create in the first place.
Is this finder/compressor/DVDSP problem a known issue that is fixed with some of the above patches?
Thanks again,
--Beth

An app everyone should look out for

Hello apple users,
Today I am here to warn you all for one of the many app's that scam you, this one is named "panorama backgrounds & parallax wallpapers & dynamic livepapers for ios 7, whatsapp, hangouts, viber"
Like the name and description promises it that you get many panorama, parallax, dynamic, whatsapp, hangout and viber backgrounds/wallpapers/livepapers. It only costed 1,79 (Euro) so I thought, why the heck not
When I launched the app, all I got was this:
About 30 backgrounds for whatsapp, easily found on google.
And also, it has fake reviews (at the bottom you can see the real ones of people saying the truth)
Any apps you know of other people should look out for?

Hi,
To migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, you can refer to the articles provided by Amit Tank.
For one thing about public folders, Exchange 2013 users can access public folders on Exchange 2010, but Exchange 2010 users can't access public folders on Exchange 2013. If you still use public folders, you need to migrate mailboxes before moving public

Hackers - What to look out for and prevention!?

Hi, I was just looking through my logs and such and saw some alot of gobbly gook. It made me nervous. so I was wondering what are the main tips on detecting a Hacker, spotting Hacking attempts and prevention of Hackers?
I understand that I depends on what kit you have and such and that your computer has to make connections with others to use the internet but what do I and every other average Apple user need to look out for in logs on modems, firewalls and applications.
I personaly have looked at my logs on my Netgear Modem and logs on my System Profiler application. I see connections to various things but i'm no good at networking. All I know is to have my firewall on!
Also...I am always nervous when using Bit Torrent, do I have any need to be?
Thanks all ~ Joe
p.s - I have also read in other posts that posting log information is a dumb idea so have played safe and kept them to myself. So there's my tip! :)
PowerBook G4 15" - Sept 04- 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2) Power Mac G4 1GHz DP - Airport Extreme - 2MBPS Broadband

It's not always true that an invalid access is an attack. For example, if your firewall application reports that the misused source port is a high port number, it might be a trigger packet. Some ISP may configure the servers system incorrectly or insufficiently. Some organization or a group of companies may send scanning packets to P2P users in a special way in order to improve heavy WAN traffics caused by P2P software users. You might mis-configure your modem or router firewall system or a built-in firewall has a bug, etc.
If a source port number is in the rage between 49152 and 65535, it is normally either dynamic or private ports. Dynamic ports are randomly assigned, and private ports are used by OS software or applications. By seeing any high ports with other logs events, you may guess whether someone attacks your node, about his/her skills/ability and the time zone. You may see one of high ports displaying on Netstat program for Network Utility application when pressing "Display the state of all current socket connections"-- udp4 0 0 localhost.xxxxx. Netstat may help to know who is on networks but not in real time. You need to refresh the button manually.
Here are two basic points:
* It is important to know yourself and think of your computer configurations before you start thinking who is there or your enemy.
* The most important matter in computer security is to be aware, and watch the systems carefully something most people do not do. For example, check if asl.log facility status with the level integer value displays differently from regular bases. If system.log or console.log reports that your computer name and the host name are changed, you may be facing to a serious security situation.
If you want to see whether your ISP blocks ports or you have opened ports, security scan service such as grc.com (Shields UP), dshield.org or seifried.org are available on the Internet.
Mac OS X Tiger built-in firewall (ipfw) has basic features. You can add rule-sets if you want. See for example here. Normally, you do not need to change the default rule-sets that blocks unwanted incoming packets.
Here is how to read about a log example for Mac OS X built-in firewall:
ipfw: 64000 Deny TCP 123.456.78.900:4990 444.555.66.777:1433 in via en1
The ipfw rule-set 64000 denies a Transmission Control Protocol IP packet sent by the source address 123.456.78.900 via the port number 4990 to attempt an invalid access to the destination address 444.555.66.777 targeting to the port 1433 in via your interface "AirPort." The destination address in this case is your local IP address, but not a remote IP address assigned for your ISP (for instance) node. The BSD device name for Built-in Ethernet interface is "en0." "en1" is used for AirPort or the first PCI Ethernet card if you install one.
You see the Mac OS X built-in firewall do not tell you the service name of a misused port number and the host name of the source IP address in real time. Therefore, it may be uncomfortable to analyze the background in details-- especially, if events of the firewall log would be flooded by access attempted every minute or more frequently. You may not even be able to send an e-mail to abuse team who is responsible for the source IP address net block to ask for the investigation if you want to do so. To send an enquiry has two meaning-- suggesting their server vulnerability or insufficient configuration and making a good use of their reply to your analysis.
In this case, an unassigned port number 4990 is misused by someone directly or indirectly (e.g. bot, botarmy, etc.) from the server 123.456.78.900, and the port 1433 for sniffing if a Microsoft SQL Server (Windows related) is running on your machine. There is also known history that some viruses try to exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server. The most known ports being misused in recent days are 8 (ICMP ping) 135, 139, 445 and ports for Trojan Horses and P2P technology driven software such as BitTorrent-- See also this world map, http://isc.sans.org/.
You may think about why bad IP packets pass through your ISP servers especially if servers are configured with a firewall system.
If you want to know more about Transmission Control Protocol specification, find "RFC 793" documentation on the Internet. All assigned port numbers document is available at www.iana.org.
If you are interested in third-party firewall, DoorStop X and Who's There are very good applications. You'll see it when you use their trial version with the full features.
Good firewall applications may protect your computer from various invalid access attempts but not for the real solution. Good packet analyzing (Sniffers) applications may help to inform you a result of analysis but not for the real solution. End-users, ISPs and the authorities need to run to the same direction together.

What to look out for when upgrading from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6

I'm thinking about upgrading our server from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6 (I've delayed it because I remember hearing a few things were broken in the process on some setups). So, being the novice that I am, what should I look out for?

The best thing you can do is to take a full backup of your system and then apply the latest update.
Also, it is safer to apply the combo update.
If you do not hear problems in here, there are probably not any problems

Buying a used Mac - what to look out for

I'm not really sure this should be in the MacBook Pro forum, but I had to put it somewhere.
I'm considering buying a used Mac for my son. My daughter is using an old Aluminum PowerBook and when she gets older, I'll upgrade her as well. For my son the unit will be for mostly at home, so it doesn't need to be a laptop, but since laptops can basically be used as desktops as well, I'm posting here.
What I want to know are any "gotcha's" that might not occur to me. For example, such and such types don't have particularly good battery life, the hard drive on this one is easy to change but not on that one. This one is known to have video problems but that one is great, etc.etc. Things to look out for or be aware of.
I'm not adverse to buying old PPC based systems. Some of the old PowerMacs with G5 processors can be had for really, really low prices, but they're obviously limited to Leopard.
This is a 10 year old boy, so I'm not going to spend a fortune on it. Kids will be kids, you know.
Thoughts anyone?

I assume you're ruling out completely all iBook G3's, right?
If you got a butt kickin' PowerMac it might be quite a machine at quite a price. I've seen some G5 quad core's selling for as little as $100. With something that old, though, how long will it be before there's something like a power supply failure.
Watch out for 17" iMac's from the 2006-2007 era. The displays have a tendency to develop vertical lines, and once they start doing it, it spreads like a disease across the display. WIth a unit like that you would have to use an external display and hide the original.
Some of the earlier MacBooks had some battery issues and charging issues.
I know for a fact that if you get a 2009 MacBook and put 4G of RAM into it you can comfortably run Mavericks. Of course if you read the posts of some of the people on this site they will claim you can ***never*** run Mavericks comfortably on anything. I'm not really sure what their problems are. You can pick one of these up for less than $200 for one in moderate shape to slightly over $200 for one in good shape.
As with any laptop, check the battery out. On all systems check the HD and OD, especially the latter, to see if their working. I had to do a refurbishment/resell program on some of our older stuff and the ODs were bad in almost all of them. Thoroughly check the HD if the unit is a laptop or it's over 3 years old (just my advice).
As far as PowerBooks, they're going to be too slow to handle any online video, but probably suitable enough for anything else. You can (I'm not joking) pick up a decent 12" model (1.33GHz, for example) for less than $70. You could also look at the 15" models but be wary of a problem some of them developed over time with RAM chips in a certain bank not being recognized.
For reasons known only to God, old Titaniums are selling for more than Aluminum PowerBooks. I really wonder if people on eBay see the black Titanium keyboard on the metal base and think they're getting a new unit. Titaniums in good shape are a rarity because the hinges in the back liked to bust. They also ran hot enough to burn your legs. I'd steer clear of them.
Most of the G4 iBooks we had and tested seemed OK. Some of the iMac G5s seem to be remarably solid. With the 2009 Intel iMac's (and maybe 2010 as well) you may need to be careful about the drive you install do to an unusual thermal monitoring setup.
Well. That's if for me now.
Later.

Look up for wsdl file

Hi All,
How to look up for a wsdl file for a web service deployed or published fromXI.
I know that there is an option for saving wsdl file while defining a web service in Integration Directory. but what if somone has lost it. Is there any other way to look up for the wsdl file?
Piyush

Hi Bhavesh,
If I publish wsdl in UDDI, will it automatically take changes or I have to redefine it?
e.g I change the parameters of one method from two to three.So will it be automatically reflected or I've to again redefine a web service?
Second is that how to stop or undeploy a web service. where to find that option ?

My 2008 Mac Pro is no longer recognizing memory in the B card. Is it simply a defective card or should I look elsewhere for an answer.

My 2008 Mac Pro is no longer recognizing memory in the B card. Is it simply a defective card or should I look elsewhere for an answer? It was working unntil sometime early this year. Thank you for any enlightenment you can provide.

I'm not sure I understand. You swapped the A and B modules. The B module does not show up in the A modules slot? That would indicate the module is bad. If the A module doesn't show up in the B module's slot, then the slot is bad.

Things looking grim for my PC.....
