Two Dead G5s with identical problem.

I acquired 2 power Mac G5s used. One is 2.0 ghz, and the other is 1.8 ghz. they are both Dual processors. I think I must have done something wrong to them, because now, whenever I push the start button, I hear no chime, but the fans will come on, after about 3 - 4 minutes, the fan speed will increase. Power-on indicator stays off. No flashing - nothing. This is identical to both units. I have pulled these units apart to clean them with compressed air. I even opened the power supply to do the same. My question is - How many times are you supposed to push the PMU button, and what will happen if you should push them more than it is necessary. I need help. I love these babies and will whatever to get them up and running.
ps: They have never ever come on.

Hi,
To open a SDrive, hold down the mouse key on startup.
Or, gently pull down the metal outer door on the Mac, exposing the front of the optical drive. Facing it, there is a (should be) a small paperclip sized hole on the lower left. Find a large paperclip and straighten it, push one end into this little hole and with firm pressure the drive tray should unlock and start to slide out. Grasp the tray with your fingers and and pull it the rest of the way. That little hole is the emergency eject button.
BTW, congrats on getting it to run. I wouldn't wait too long to get it calibrated.
Regards,
Dave

Premier pro play back screen goes black a freezes every 15 minute . This is my second mac pro with identical problems.

SOLVED!!!!!
SO I did some more digging around and read ATI cards seem to overheat easily. I knew the fan was working, but after closer inspection I realised there was ALOT of built up dust on the card and clogging the fan and airflow. Blew it out with alot of compressed air, stuck it back in the Mac and BAM...no black screens. I tested it by streaming 6 video sources...doing 2 screen captures at once as well as watching a HD movie in fullscreen. Did all this for 30 minutes and no crashes. I also downloaded an app to monitor the temps inside the computer and the expansion bay stays at 41 degrees. No clue what it was before but obviously it was hotter than that. So my problem is solved! Funny that 10.7.5 made the card work harder. I wonder if its off loading some CPU stuff to the GPU for processing more than 10.7.4 so its just working a bit harder and so it heats up faster....

How to program for two PCI cards with identical device ID?

I have 2 PCI-6713 cards, and they have identical device ID. I'm trying to program in Linux using C++. I got some examples from NI, but non of them seems considering this problem. Where can I get help for this?
Thanks.
flofish

The short answer is that you should read out the EEPROM on each of the two cards you find to determine which one is which.
I don't have specific examples for the 6713 on how to do this, but here are the necessary pieces.
EEPROM Read Example - this example is for the E series MIO card, but will be similar for the 6713.
E Series RLPM - in chapter 5 it describes how to read the EEPROM, which corresponds to the example. The 6713 may have a different EEPROM on it than the example uses and you may have to adjust the code accordingly. Look on the 6713 to find the EEPROM and then look up its manual online. Most likely it is one of the following chips: MB88341, DAC8043, 8800.
EEPROM Map for the 6713 - this is the roug
h allocation of information within the 6713. I don't see the serial number listed, but it should be stored on there somewhere. You may want to read out the complete EEPROM and compare the values to the known serial numbers of your boards.

Replacement iPod with identical problem.

I just paid good money for one of the new 80GB iPod's. As soon as iTunes had successfully loaded my 40GB+ collection onto it and indicated that it was safe to disconnect, the iPod started boot cycling, and couldn't be got out of it.
I got a replacement unit. Same issue.
Tried phoning apple support. Got told I needed to hold to speak to someone more senior. No, they couldn't possibly call me back. 15 mins of lift music and then I'm cut off.
Can anyone tell me
a. What's going on with my iPod(s)
b. Who do I have to sleep with to speak to someone capable of resolving the issue or refunding my money, or do I really have to hire a lawyer?

i have not had this problem with my ipod. but i would try resetting your ipod by pressing and holding the center and the menu buttons at the same time for 6-10 seconds. although i have the 30GB ipod fifth gen i have not had this problem yet. if this does not work call the store at which you purchased it and inform them of the problem
if you have to email me at [email protected]

Two networked macs with identical user folders...

Situation: my wife and I each own our own Mac, but 2 isn't always enough. Often a friend will come over and snarf one up for extended periods of time. When this happens, one of us can't access our own account (we have a guest account on each) on our computer.
Solution: Is there a program that will completely and safely synchonize our users folders across both macs? It would be great for us to be able to sit down at either machine, anytime, with all of our preferences/bookmarks/documents instead of having "his" and "her" macs.
Anybody have a suggestion? There's a myrid of backup/sync software out there, and I've tried many, but thus far none have fit the bill. BTW, we have mostly all the same software/apps installed, and in the App. folder vs. our home folders if this helps at all...
TIA!
24" iMac, Dual 2.0 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Off the top of my head I'm thinking of this solution:
create the same account on each mac.
Start sharing on each mac
create an applescript that will see if the other mac is available, and if so connect to the home folder on the other mac
have another script or workflow that will check for changed files on logoff and synch those files to the other mac.
There are also links out there on how to use flash drives as portable home directories. That might work for you.

Again with the problems

hey guys,
so, as i wrote last time, my macbook appeared to be loose in the top right corner (push down and you can see it move/makes noise). i returned it and in exchange got one of the new intel core 2 duo oness (i was under the 14 days). anyway, about a week into my NEW one, i noticed the sides offer that same problem: when you push them in they make the same noise and appear to go in more.
maybe the screws are loose or maybe its not inserted properly, i don't know. but can someone help me? is this an on going problem with macbooks or is it just my luck with them? is this problem going to get worse?...
i dont want to have to change my lap top again...
i would definitly say its some bad luck getting two macbooks with identical problems, however, i could be wrong about this new problem.

Yeah, the same thing happens to my MB. The left side where the two screw are can move in and out a couple millimeters. It's plastic, so it's going to have some give at the seams. If it doesn't bug you too much, I would just try to forget it's there, like I do.
I also notice that the screen has two dark spots near the bottom where the hinge is on either side...that's what bugs me. I can see it out of the corner of my eyes.

Two AM's with the same name but different forms causes Deployment problems

Two Masters forms, DOC & PM are cloned except for the "where clause" in the View's query and the titles in their JSP's.
DOC workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='DOCTOR'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\Doctor\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\Doctor\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute Doctor in JWS the records are getting filtered properly.
PM workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. Again The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='PAY_MODE'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\PMode\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute PM in JWS, the PM's JSP comes (the title is correct) but the records pertaining to DOC appears. I checked the View's xml file in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\ the "where clause" is correct. The xml & classes have the same name but their contents are different.
I want to know whether this problem is because both have the same name for the AM and the BC4JSP's property file.
Please clarify.

Deploying two app modules with the same name will definitely cause problems.
The JSPs use the information in the properties file to connect to the application module and get the data they need from the appropriate View Objects in those app modules. If you have two app modules with the same name, when a JSP tries to connect, it has no way of knowing which one of the app modules to connect to if they both have the same name.
You could:
1. Just use one application module that contains all the View Objects you need to access.
or
2. Rename one of the application modules or the package it is located in so the names are distinct. If you choose this method, you will also need to update the JSPs (specifically the 'registerApplicationFrompPopertyFile' method call), and your JSP project's appmodule property file.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

I purchased two albums from iTunes but neither properly loaded on my iPad Mini and I cannot play any of the songs. I have prevously loaded other albums with no problems. How do I delete these albums and reload them? I don't see iTunes on iCloud.

If the albums do appear in the Music app, hold down on the album icons and the X to delete will pop up on the icons. Tap the X to delete the albums.
You don't see a anything in iCloud, you see your previous purchases in the purchased tab of the store that you bought the content in. So you find your music purchases in the purchased tab of the iTunes app on your iPad. Tap on Purchased and look for the albums in the Not on this iPad section - assuming that you are able to delete the albums from the device.

Umm,, no offence... but what is ridiculous... is you didn't troubleshoot the original problem but instead you assumed it was a LP9 problem so you updated to LPX which is still in its early days and is likely to be less stable than LP9... rather than more so!
So.. Here's the thing....
LP9 was working fine and then stopped working normally according to you. Therefore what changed at the time LP9 stopped working normally?
Here are just a few ideas to think about.. for around the time this started..
Did you update Logic Pro 9... OS X... Drivers for Midi/Audio or other connected devices?
If you did, did you then restore from a backup you made prior to these problems occuring and what happened when you did so? (assuming you do make backups of your system?)
Did you install any new Apps on your Mac?
Did you add a new Hard Drive? How is it formatted?
Did you start recording or creating music in a different way to how you used to before the problem started?
Have you started using a different SI or FX plugin or plugins.. More or different FX for example.. Did you install a new version of a plugin?
Is all your software legal? (Have to ask because some people install all kinds of illegal plugins and whatever else.. and have no idea how the 'cracks' work or what they might affect/mess up/conflict with in the process)
Have you looked at the System logs to see if anything is happening out of the ordinary when you get these messages?
Have you looked at OS X's Activity monitor to see if any app or routine is kicking in hard when you get this issue?
Basically, you need to think about and look for what changed... because something apparently changed to suddenly cause these issues...given you said you didn't have them until a certain timeframe and some of the questions above, I hope, will get you thinking..
....and maybe a few of the others here will come up with other ideas and suggestions to help you...
Good luck and let us know how you got on...

I have duplicate pictures in "my catalog" that I believe come from two Adobe folders found under "my pictures/adobe/ one is Revel and the other is Photoshop express which preceded revel. Can I delete those two folder without causing a problem with my catalog?

Thanks for the links, Limnos.
If you are willing to continue helping, here's what I found.
Just to clarify the two iTunes folders I am refering to are:
username-->Music-->iTunes
HD-->iTunes
I am presuming each location has a full set of files as outlined in the above links?
Not all the files are in both locations. Most are.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder does not have itunes library.xml.
- The Itunes folder in my home folder has a subfolder called Mobile Applications (username-->Music-->iTunes--> Mobile application). The Itunes folder at the HD level also has a Mobile Application folder but it is a subfolder of Itunes Media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media-->Mobile applications) and has no files in it.
- I do not have an iTunes Media in the iTunes folder in my home folder.
- also the Itunes media folder (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media) has subfolders by type (books, movies, itunes u, music etc...) but the iTunes Media-->Music also has some of the same subfolders ( iTunes Media-->Music-->books, iTunes Media-->Music-->Movies, iTunes Media-->Music-->iTunes U). Is this normal repetition?
You say:
/itunes/itunes media/ music
but it is important to note what comes before all that.
There is nothing as far as I can tell before that first forward slash. Since the only iTunes Media folder I have is in the iTunes folder that resides at the HD level (HD-->iTunes--> iTunes Media folder) not the iTunes folder in my home folder (username-->Music-->iTunes) , I assume that's the one that holds the music.
Keep iTunes media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are both checked on
Does that give more clarity into my problem?

Two switches connected with fiber in mode trunk - Problem

Hi to all.
Iam new in the forum, and my english is bad.
I want to post a problem. I have two switches connected with fiber in mode trunk, in the switch C3550 i have this configuration:
interface FastEthernet0/1
description Enlace LAB Medicion
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
duplex full
spanning-tree portfast
In the switch C2960 this configuration, on interfaces Fa0/48, Giga0/1:
interface FastEthernet0/48
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,20,229
switchport mode trunk
spanning-tree portfast
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,20,229
switchport mode trunk
media-type sfp
duplex full
spanning-tree portfast
The problem:
The ip phones with Voice vlan (vlan 20), not find the DHCP server located in the data vlan (vlan 229)
However, using the command:
#switchport trunk native vlan 229
The result is the voice vlan works, but the data vlan not and viceversa depending if the native vlan 229 is present.
I will appreciate any suggestion.

leolaohoo.
The configuration on ports switch C2960, have the mode access with voice vlan 20:
interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport access vlan 229
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 20
spanning-tree portfast
interface FastEthernet0/2
switchport access vlan 229
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan 20
spanning-tree portfast
I will remove from trunk links:
spanning-tree portfast
Thanks alot.

Need help with Backup problems - anyone seen this before?

I am experiencing 2 primary problems:
1) When attempting a recent backup with HotSync on my desktop PC (Treo 700p, HotSync Manager v. 6.01, XP): I hadn't backed up for a few weeks, and this time it crashed sometime during the backup of the Calendar (and this behavior is repeated). So I then unchecked the backup of Calendar, but then it just hung on Contacts for about 15 minutes, so I realized it wasn't doing anything anymore (I have lots of contacts, but not not 15 minutes worth). At this point I gave up, but I obviously need to figure out how to make HotSync work again. Any ideas?
2) (not sure if this is the forum to address this): When using Backup Buddy v. 2.04 a couple of days ago, every time I tried to backup, it would get maybe 1/5th into the backup and crash and restart. I figured out in short order that Address.DB is what was causing the crash. [I tried to e-mail the file so I could examine it and save it, but just attaching it in SnapperMail made the device crash]. So I took the chance of deleting the Address.DB (as it seemed small and didn't appear to contain any backup information), and it looks like all of my information was retained. My question here is: two times since the initial problem, something has recreated Address.DB, which again causes the 700p to crash, so I have had to delete it again. So when is this file being (re)created, and what is the purpose of it?
An additional (minor) difficulty that I've had occur on a couple of occasions: After a recovery (where my BackupBuddy information was more current than my HotSync data), I restored, and all the calendar entries were double - 2 identical entries adjacent to one another. Has anyone seen this?
Thanks in advance -

SQL Server 2014 Bug - with Clustered Index On Temp Table with Identity Column

Hi,
Here's a stored procedure. (It could be shorter, but this will show the problem.)
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SGTEST_TBD_20141030 AS
IF OBJECT_ID('TempDB..#Temp') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #Temp
CREATE TABLE #Temp
Col1 INT NULL
,Col2 INT IDENTITY NOT NULL
,Col3 INT NOT NULL
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX ix_cl ON #Temp(Col2)
SET IDENTITY_INSERT #Temp ON;
RAISERROR('Preparing to INSERT INTO #Temp...',0,1) WITH NOWAIT;
INSERT INTO #Temp (Col1, Col2, Col3)
SELECT 1,2,3
RAISERROR('Insert Success!!!',0,1) WITH NOWAIT;
SET IDENTITY_INSERT #Temp OFF;
In SQL Server 2014, If I execute this (EXEC dbo.SGTEST_TBD_20141030) It works. If I execute it a second time - It fails hard with:
Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
In SQL Server 2012, I can execute it over and over, with no problem. I've discovered two work-a-rounds:
1) Add "WITH RECOMPILE" to the SP CREATE/ALTER statement, or
2) Declare the cluster index in the TABLE CREATE statement, e.g. ",UNIQUE CLUSTERED (COL2)"
This second option only works though, if the column is unique. I've opted for the "WITH RECOMPILE" for now. But, thought I should share.

Hi,
I did not get any error Message:
CREATE TABLE #Temp
Col1 INT NULL
,Col2 INT IDENTITY NOT NULL
,Col3 INT NOT NULL
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX ix_cl ON #Temp(Col2)
SET IDENTITY_INSERT #Temp ON;

Bluetooth antenna died - third device with identical failure

I have:
Blackberry Pearl 8220
OS version 4.6.0.180
TMobile service
57577421 bytes free space
no applications
I got my first Blackberry Pearl 8220 about a year ago. It died, and I was given a new one. (I bought the extended warranty.)
Then the Bluetooth antenna died on device #2 after several months. I became aware of this while sitting in my Prius and a message appeared on my Prius information screen that "Bluetooth connection failed." Any attempts to check the Bluetooth box on the Manage Connections page failed. When I went to Set Up Bluetooth, I was given a screen that said "Bluetooth: Disabled."
Got identical device #3. The Bluetooth antenna died on device #3 after about two months.
Got identical device #4. The Bluetooth antenna died on device #4 after about two months. I don't recall ever dropping this device. I keep it in my pocket.
Is there a known hardware problem on the Blackberry Pearl 8220 with the Bluetooth antenna?
My contract will be "up" in a few weeks. Any suggestions??

@ thejoker
I have the 9100 and it has been through a lot (*I* fell on it on rocks pretty darn hard when it was in my pocket and only 3 keys have chips taken out of it...) and it still works fine. So IMO your "refurbishment" experience is souring your opinion of other *newer* BB's.
I find that refurbished tech always has problems within a few months if not in a year or 2.
As for the policy, that has nothing to do with RIM...
