TurnKey Systems? How long do they last?

We bought a system from Boxx Technologies a little over 3 years ago and it's seems to be acting a little sluggish and shuts down sometimes.... is there anything I can do or is it just getting a little old... Would reformating help? How long do people keep a system untill upgrading?
This is what's in the system
AMD Opteron Dual Core Processors
NVIDIA Nforce Professional 2200
NVIDIA Nforce Professional 2050
AMD 8131 PCI-X Tunnel
Dual Channel DDR-400 Reg ECC
. . (8 DIMMS) up to 16GB
(4) Serial ATA 3Gb/s ports
. . (RAID 0, 1, or 0+1)
(1) Parallel ATA IDE interface
. . (2 devices)

Harm,
You have a very thorough method of slipstreaming your systems. Have you ever done a step-by-step article on your method. If not, maybe something to consider. It could be an adjunct to your excellent trio of artilces on hardware and software setup. Just a thought for your "free time."

Battery question- How long should they last

I got a 15 inch MBP in August 2011. This is my first Apple laptop. I would sure appreciate some help on this one.
When I first got the computer, I would charge it and use it on and off of the AC. I read about calibrating the battery and did it once about a month ago. Then I did it a few days ago. Since I calibrated the second time, it seems the battery runs out very fast. For example, this morning the battery was fully charged. I used it for less than 10 minutes. The battery percentage read 98 I believe. I put the computer to sleep. I think about 5 hours or so latter I went to check the computer and it had gone to sleep with a depleted battery. It seems to me that going from 98% to 0 in sleep mode is not good.
Before I calibrated it seemed to do fine.
Please help me and give me any suggestions you can.
Thank you very much.

MBP's made after 2009 have pre calibrated batteries and do not need to be calibrated: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
The battery should last 1,000 cycles before it reaches 80% of its original capacity. Read this:http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html

I deleted an app by mistake. when I tried to restore my phone from my icloud backup it wasn't there. I need an older backup. How long are they kept?? Thank you

I delted an app by mistake. when i tried to restore my phone from icloud I need an older backup. How long are they kept?? I'd like to get this app and it's contents back.
thanks

Apple states that it keeps your last 3 iCloud backups, which would only go back a few days if you back up daily. Also, apps are not stored in the backup, only your app data is. The backup simply notes which apps were on your phone when it was backed up, then downloads them from the App store when you restore the backup. If the app is no longer available in the App store, it will not be restored to the phone when you restore the backup.

How long does it last

I have a 2008 Mac Pro that i bought when it came out and it is still in perfect condition. It has 8 cores, 8gb ram, 8800gt video card 3tb hd. at the end of this year it will be three years old. I use it for final cut pro and other things. about how long will it last
-it is in perfect condition
-has a very stable power supply
-never had one problem yet
-still edits blue ray video stable
should i upgrade this year or next
thanks

I am still answering queries about Macs discontinued before the turn of the century. The Hardware will last a good long time. You may have to replace a memory module ( FBDIMMs run Hot) or a Hard drive along the way.
The software you are running today will do the jobs you do today, using your current workflow, for decades.
Whether your needs will expand beyond the capabilities of that particular computer remains to be seen. And whether new "must have" killer Apps will come along and make your Mac seem slow, or lacking in some other way, no one knows for sure.
\[But that is what happened to most pre-1999 Macs. You can't give them away. Folks don't want them because they can't run the latest Web Browsers or play YouTube Videos].

If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

If I don't pre-order iphone 6, how long until they are available in stores?

mln2603,
Great question, it's important to have an idea when you can get the phone. Currently, the launch date annouced is September 19th, 2014. The stores will receive phones on that day as released and they will sell on the same bases, first come first serve.

How long do Notifications last?

Question,...if i subscribe to an item or folder and then receive a notification in my "Notification Portlet", how long does that notification last before the system deletes it?

I do think Oracle periodically "swings" by the forums and posts replies, but it strongly depends on which forum you post it to. I (not with Oracle) tried to post a reply to your post earlier, but the forum wouldn't cooperate.
In 9.0.2.6 at least, subscription notifications default to 24 hours, but can been overridden by both the administrator by editing the defaults of the notification portlet or by the end-user by customizing the notification portlet. We usually set our default to 96 hours to account for long weekends and/or travel. You can set this by clicking on the edit icon on the notification portlet and going to the subscription notification section.
Hope it helps,

How long do points last when banking?

I'm an elite plus memeber and I am interested in knowing if there is a cut off date for points? I have $90 worth of point saved up and I am planning on saving them hopefully for christmas was just wondering how long they last. I looked on the points section of the eliteplus membership page and I could not find anywhere where it stated.

I may not always know the right answer, but I will always tell you what I do know. I also do free computer analysis and consultation via private message.
Solved!

Hello AWBrown,
I hope you are having a pleasant day so far.
That is a really great question! There really isn't a cutoff period when it comes to how long our Elite and Elite Plus members can BANK their points. As long as a member with Elite or Elite Plus status requalifies by spending $1,500 (Elite) or $3,500 (Elite Plus) on eligible Best Buy purchases within a single calendar year, they should be able to continuously BANK their points and issue certificates when they decide.
I looked over your My Best Buy™ account using the email address you registered with the forum and can see that you requalified for Elite Plus status during the 2014 calendar year, so your status will not expire until February 2016. If you were to not requalify for Elite or Elite Plus status by 12/31/2015, then your status would be downgraded in February 2016 and any banked points would be converted into certificates down to the $5 level.
If you have any additional questions or would like for me to go over your My Best Buy™ account with you in additional detail, then please do not hesitate to send me a private message and I will see what I can do to help. You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button found within my signature labeled "Private Message."

How long do printheads last on the HP T520?

I am not looking for what HP is saying, I would like to know how long they last from consumers who own the HP T520. I recently purchased this printer and I am wondering at what time I should replace them. Thanks!

This forum is focused on consumer level products. For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP DesignJet forum here, that is where the DesignJet experts can be found.

If you cache credentials in Safari how long does it last for on iOS?

Can anyone verify how long cached login credentials last in Safari, and when they get cleared without user intervention?
I have been reading other posts relating to a change that was made to Safari but not sure if it is related "Several people have reported problems that Safari’s cache prevents them from browsing a web site’s current version; instead Safari loads pages from previous cached files (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch). It has also been reported that clearing cache, cookies and history does not fix this problem."
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mine just quit, it froze in the rebooting screen and does nothing else, please help. How can I restore it to factory state

How long do photos last in shared photo streams?

I was wondering how long photos will stay in shared photo streams. Do these fall under the same rules are regular photo streams or will they stay there until I delete them?
I'd love to use this as a photo storage site versus Facebook!

I finally found an article on the Apple site that says "You can share as many photos as you like with Shared Photo Streams. They don't count against your iCloud storage and aren't removed from iCloud until you delete them."

Newly reset security questions not working? How long until they become active?

Okay so, I contacted Apple Support, talked to the advisor, i was able to reset my security questions and add a rescue email and a message showed up saying (With a check mark) that my information hasb een changed. Great.
After, I then decided to go to the Password and Security page (just to make sure everything was working) and I tried to enter the questions (that i had JUST reset) and all three of them came out wrong.
So obviously I was confused but...due to my amount of re entering, I got locked out.
My question, is that is there a time limit to how long after the questions are reset and until they become active?

Anyone?

Does the computer lock me after a certain amount of failed password attmepts, even when i finally have the correct password? recently changed root account password, but then forgot today and when tried again didn't work. if so, how long does lock last?

Ok. So I just changed my ADMINISTRATIVE ROOT PASSWORD the other day and when I tried to log in today I forgot it. I tried different variations of
the password I had set, because I wasn't sure if i had maybe set it in Caps Lock or used a different number in the sequence. I got the message several times
about "too many attempts, try again later". Does the computer lock me from signing in even with the correct password after a certain amount of failed
attempts? If so, how long does this lock last for? When can I try again? Or is there something I need to do to remove that lock now? I'm pretty sure I
had the right password finally but it still wouldn't accept it.
Also, I don't have any other administrative users set up on my macbook pro. I'm the only one who uses it, so I've always just used that original User from my
original setup.

Do this:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple key + s key down after you hear the chime. (command + s on newer Macs)
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
(Type these commands very carefully)
mount -uw /
rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can change the passord on the old one.
