What recourse fo the imac G5s that are not "whisper quiet"

I bought a reconditioned imac G5 about three months ago and mine is definitely not "whisper quiet." As I am a musician who records with a mic, this is a very big problem for me. I took the machine to the Apple Store in San Francisco and they took it in back and told me that the noise is not unusual enough to warrant service. I didn't kick and scream, I didn't argue. The "genius" claimed that there was no fix at the moment, but would contact me if a "fix" was discovered.
I can hear my computer whirring loudly when I'm in the other room. That, to me, constitutes a very loud whisper. Perhaps their ads should say "stage whisper quiet." Sitting in front of the machine, most anyone would say it was quite loud. Far louder than my old imac G4.
I'm feeling very frustrated. I'm left with a machine that I can't really sell in good faith, sold to me by a company that is pretending that there isn't a problem. The only solution I can think of is to get a monitor and stuff the main computer in the other room. But just the idea of that really tweaks me off. It shouldn't be so...
I glad to know that not everyone is having this noise problem, but I'd sure like to know what the difference is between my noisy imac and the whisper quiet ones. I've heard about people having the midplane's replaced and the power supplies replaced, but how does one get Apple's attention on this and get them to respond to the problem in a compassionate and timely manner?
Any tips would be most appreciated.

I had the exact same problem as you, I bought a refurbished iMac and the thing was so loud, it drove me crazy. As soon as I got the thing out of the box I called Apple and complained. I had to go through several tech support personnel before I got to a specialist. He agreed and said that he heard the noise through the phone. I had to argue and start to get rude with the guy, and I spent over an hour on the phone before he would agree that the computer was DOA and that I could return it for a full refund. I then went to the Apple store and bought a brand new one, and low and behold the same exact ear piercing noise that I can hear from a room away. I then took this computer to the Genius bar the the guy said that they are loud and there is nothing he could do. It drives me crazy, does anyone have a fix???? I have been so disappointed with this issue, but it is good to know that I am not alone and that I am not just hearing things. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.

In preparation for merging two iPhoto libraries with Aperture, I ran "repair database" as suggested above by léonie in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4998390?tstart=0
After chugging for a while, iPhoto puts up a modal dialog box saying:
1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.
Would you like to import them?
What does this mean?

I re-ran the the repair on a backup of my library and chose "yes" on the import of of the found pictures.
Unfortunately, the saved pictures included both original and edited images and the import did not re-assemble them into just a single entry.
For example, I have a two pictures of a portico ceiling, the original (with an ID of P1010071_2) and another (P1010071) which is the same except that iPhoto's "Enhance" Quick Fix has been applied.
Is there any way rejoin the original (P1010071_2) and fixed images(P1010071) into a single entry?

I recently got a 5S, and when I am using the phone, my cheek seems to tap the screen, and calls other people, or mutes, or enables some of the other features that are not shutting down when I am talking to someone. Can someone help, please!

I recently got the iPhone 5S, and when I am talking, my cheek will touch the various buttons on the scene, and I am calling, going mute, or touching the keypad, and such. How can I get the phone screen to stop doing this while I am talking. I have IOS 8. Thank you. Please reply in simple terms, as I am not the best at understanding how to fix things. Thanks again.

First, try a reset to see if that clears it up:
Hold down the home button and the power button together until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears, then let go of the buttons. This will not cause any data loss and is like a reboot for your phone.

When reading sent email, the attachments I included in the email to recipient are not shown. How can I retain the attachments?

When send email with attachments and the open the sent mail to read what I sent, the attachemnts I sent are not shown on the mail in my sent folder. How can I keep the attachments on my mail?

It will not show anywhere; it is simply your account pic so you know you're using that particular account in Mail (if there is more than one).

What voltage is the standard memory that comes with 2011 IMacs?

what voltage is the standard memory that comes with 2011 IMacs?

1.5V
Here are specs on RAM from crucial.com.

IMac screen appears to have smudges under the glass. They are not on the surface and it doesn't matter what wallpaper is in place.

iMac screen appears to have smudges under the glass along the top of the screen. They are not on the surface and it doesn't matter what wallpaper is in place. Anyone else had this happen?

The " glass" front of your iMac is really not glass, at all, but an optically clear polycarbonite (plastic) that a black border painted or possibly "printed" on the backside (to hide the strong magnets that hold this cover on) that has a metal frame glued to the back to which this frame is held in place with very strong magnets.
You use one or two small suction cups or a suction cup from a windshield mounted mobile GPS mount or purchase a small commercial glass cup, that is used to handle bare glass, to get the polycarbonite frame off.
The reason I mention the material is polycarbonite is that you should NOT be using ANY type of retail/commercial window glass cleaners on this front glass or on the LCD screen.
Polycarbonite easily scratches and clouds when using ANY conventional glass cleaning solutions.
You need to use a lint-free, microfiber style cloth dampened in warm water (completely wring the water out of the microfiber cloth to the point cloth is just warm and damp with NO water dripping at all from the cloth) and use this to get the screen and glass don't screen clean.

HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

According to:
Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

What is the command to verify the configuration that are not saved or sent to local controllers?

Q: What is the command to verify the configuration that are not saved or sent to local controllers?
A: We can execute the command that is shown in below image to check the status of the configuration that has been made.
Note: For example I made changes to the default VAP profile and executed the command "show master-configpending" which shows the pending configuration to be saved/sent to local controllers.

But that jar file loads without images and icons when it is in other directory.Images should be accessed via a URL rather than using a filename because they will exist as entries in the jar archive not as files. Typically this URL would be obtained by using the Class method [getResource()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getResource(java.lang.String)]. There are details in this [Java World article|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javaqa/2002-11/02-qa-1122-resources.html].

What is font book used for? I read the description but still unsure. Does it contain fonts that are not already on the computer

What can I use font book for? I read the description but still don't get it. Does it contain fonts that are not already installed on my new Mac? Thanks.

Disabling (turning off) a font will make it unavailable for use in any font menu. You can alwasy enable the font(s) again - they're not gone permanantly. DON'T disable System fonts, though -> that's just asking for trouble.
Here's -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdR6-4lnF5A - a good video tutorial about using Font Book.

What are the essential services that are required for ensuring server is healthy up ?

Hi All,
Please advise me What are the essential services that are required for ensuring server is healthy up ?
Warm regards,
jk1510

The easiest way to find the Health report of server or workstation follow the below steps which is very much easiest way to get it done
There are a few ways to find this in Windows Server 2008.
First click “Start” and type “Generate a system health report”
Or second navigate your way to the Control Panel choose “System and Security” and choose “Generate a system health report”.
The last is to type “Generate a system health report” into the “Search Control Panel” box in the upper right hand corner of the Control Panel window.
Once armed with this data it’s easier to refute or acknowledge an issue is at hand.
BTW if you’re looking for this same thing in Windows 7 it’s there just buried a bit more.
Search Performance in the Start Menu, choose “Performance Information and Tools”, click “Advanced Tools” from the menu on the left, and finally choose “Generate a system
health report”.

I have a number of old 3.5 floppy that i'd like to convert to a format that can be read by my iMAC. These are all Word documents for MAC that are as old as 20 years. Do you have suggestions other than the conversion services that are rather costly?

I don't think any conversions are needed, just get yourself an external USB 3.5" floppy drive and drag the documents onto your iMac's HD. You should be able to locate one on Ebay or maybe even Amazon. To open them you will need something that reads .doc files like Pages, MS Word for Mac etc..
