What's wrong with 10.4.7 upgrade? (Serious Slow-down)

Attempting to install iLife, was forced to upgrade the OS.
(A new iMac G5)
Ran "Updater" with the 150 mb upgrade.
Now the iMac runs slow as molasses... MUCH slower
than before the upgrade.
I've fixed and verified the permissions twice.
How can I speed things up?

Hi FNS,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
What did you do exactly? What was your previous system version and how did you update (software update? standalone installer? incremental update? Combo update?).

What is wrong with my setup? FCP 6 slow as snail.

I have been going nuts trying to troubleshoot what's going on with my system for a while without understanding what's wrong.
I am editing some HDV footage and all is well the first hour of editing. After that the system becomes so slow that clicking anywhere in the timeline takes the slider 10 to 30 seconds to react, not to mention playback just halts. I do not have the spinning ball, I can move the mouse but I cannot do anything with it (nor acess dock or finder when this happens). The system goes so slow that it basically is impossible to continue working on it. Not even a full reboot of the Imac gets the speed up.
About a month ago I bought myself an Imac 2.8 extreme, 3 gigs Ram and 500 gb internal disc, to be able to edit HDV footage (as my old Imac g5 was getting too slow for this task). It's not a macpro but it should be fine. I am working off an external 640 firewire 800 disc (newly formatted, 500 go free). I know HDV isn't the best codec to edit in so I even tried reencoding the media to apples intermediate codec but had same result with system slowing down.
I am getting worried that this may be an issue caused by the new iMac's graphicscard (as many new iMacusers are having problems with freezes) but apart from this I have never had a single real freeze of the system.
if you have any idea what might be going on I really appreciate any, ANY, feedback.

Be sure you're using the latest drivers for your Decklink...
If you didn't perform a totally clean install of the studio 2 when you got it, that might help. It's always been my habit to rebuild my startup disk any time a new OS comes out (i.e. Panther to Tiger) and when a new studio is released... I just have a very stable system as are the ones I watch after. I'm totally convinced this needs to be done periodically. At the school I teach at part time, there are about 65 FCP bays. They do this totally clean install every single semester. I'm convinced that this is the reason they are so stable in general, even being used by many user accounts etc...and by novice users to boot.
Also keep in mind that as drives get fuller, they get slower... so need to keep at least 10% free... they actually start slowing down at 70% capacity. As a side note, CalDigit's new HD PRO unit is stripped in such a manner that it doesn't slow down as it fills up... Apparently they stripe it so that every other drive is using the fastest part of the platters and the others start by using the slowest part of the platters or some such...

It sounds a lot like your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you updated.
Was it?

After upgrade my Iphone 4 to iso5, I can't add contact and I can't access the settings for mail,contacts and calender. The moment I select the setting for Mails, Contact and Calender it will jump back to home. Can someone advice what's wrong with it?

What's wrong with networking since Leopard?

Hi,
I'm with Mac since years. I was a PC User once and spent hours with all kinds of network troubles. What convinced me with Mac right in the beginning was easy networking: It just worked!
But since Leopard things got worse: I have several MBP's, iMacs, Airport Extreme's and Airport Express's at different places which I installed, and I face the same problems at EVERY place:
- I can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility, ...
- Sometimes only two Macs are allowed to connect to one AExtreme
- Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
- After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
- Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
- connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
Now I know about networking, about configuration, I've done this for years. Whatever I do, problems disappear and appear again, at different times, at different places with different hardware.
What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.

What's wrong with networking since Leopard?
on my network and many i have setup there have been no problems with leopard. However there are always teething problems with new operating systems. Thankfully with leopard only a tiny percentage of users experience technical difficulties.
can't connect to AExtreme for several reasons: timeout, security incompatibility,
is it set to use WPA/WPA2
Airport doesn't find Aiport or any other networks for minutes
sometimes my macbook pro takes a while to show up any networks if there are lots in the area this is because it is scanning them all.
After connecting to the router, can't get an IP (self-assigned IP only) - other PCs get an IP.
What kind of router are you using? What happens if you powercycle the router?
# Aiport Extreme crashes (yellow blinking)
# connection loss (even when AExtreme is very close)
Have you tried resetting your AE to default. reinstalling its firmware or checking for a firmware update?
Have you tried changing hte wireless channel your networ is broadcasting on?
What is wrong with Leopard? Such problems remind me of times with Windows98 and stuff like that.
Did you upgrade install your leopard installation or did you do clean (erase) installations?
Have you tried created new network locations?

What is wrong with my nokia e72!!!???

Hi I recently purchased the e72 it's really nice but it has so many problems! I am clueless on what to do! Can anyone help me please!
1) My phone dose not upgrade each time it says it failed to install.
2) When I select the ovi store application on my phone it just does not work.
3) I go on the ovi store online and I try to download apps it either says the certificate I am getting is too old but I still accept it. And when I do accept to download it just fails.
4) The gps is just not working every time I connect it to my pc it gives me this error saying i have to disconnect my phone enter maps quit maps and then connect my phone to the computer again. But it keeps giving me the same error and asking me to repeat the steps.
5) And every time I try to do anything regarding nokia it keeps saying it is giving me a certificate that is out of date.
Can someone please help me I really don’t know what is wrong with my phone I haven’t done anything to it it's the first time this has happened to me with any nokia device.

Right on!! Am enjoying my Lumia 900 and looking foward to a 920 later on this year! I find the windowsphone os quick, clean & easy to use and the multi size live tiles ( 7.8 ) make the interface way more innovative & attractive than the dreary grid of icons of the bloated android & overpriced and overrated Ios! although I buy my phones for my own use & satisfaction whenever I use it in company the appearance always brings interest & positive comment. Windowsphone is a "young" os and will hopefully go on to get smarter & better. Yes the tight control that microsoft keep over it causes a few limitations - but if u can't live with that don't buy it! Presumably anyone buying a top range smartphone does at least a little research first! Personally im happy that there's no danger of my handset being killed by a virus, I bought a windowsphone coz having looked around - thats what I wanted and the only handset i'll swap my 900 for will be a 920!!

What's Wrong With This Script

A couple of years ago I was using an AppleScript file (thanks to someone else's assistance) but it no longer works.
I have an extra internal drive, that is partitioned, and used for sequential daily backups. When the computer starts up, of course all the drives mount - but I prefer that they are off the desktop until neded.
Rather than selecting the volumes and then dragging to the Trash, I found it easier to have a script run at startup which then asks if the drives should be unmounted.
Things were great - until I upgraded to Tiger.
I am hoping that someone can tell me what's wrong with the script so that I can start using it again. As you can probably tell, I don't have any experience in AppleScript. At the moment the script runs - it presents the dialogue box - and then just ends after a response, but the drives do not unmount.
The partitions on the drive are called Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Saturday
The existing script is as follows:
on run
display dialog "Unmount All Backup Drives?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 1
set x to button returned of result
if x is "Yes" then tell application "Finder" to eject "Monday"
end run

This relates to another (current) thread in AppleScript discussions.
Your script works with Panther as that operating system allows INTERNAL drives to be "ejected" (and, if you eject one volume on a partitioned drive, all the volumes on that drive are ejected -- this explains why ejecting "Monday" actually ejected Monday through Friday).
With Tiger, you would find that your script works exactly as expected with EXTERNAL drives, but INTERNAL drives need a different approach.
To get behavior exactly as you had before, try this script:
--BEGINNING
display dialog "Unmount All Backup Drives?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 1
set x to button returned of result
if x is "Yes" then set driveName to "Monday"
set driveInfo to do shell script "diskutil list | grep \"" & driveName & "\""
set driveID to last word of driveInfo
do shell script "diskutil unmountDisk " & driveID & ""
--END
For reasons that aren't entirely clear to me, this approach, while it works reliably, is very slow -- on my fast machine, the unmount process takes nearly 20 seconds. (Using UNIX directly in Terminal, with the same command, is very quick.) (In the AS, the delay occurs in second "do shell script.")
Another puzzle that has cropped up is described in the related thread "Applescript to Mount/Unmount a Disk . . ." (current). While the above approach works for Justin Surpless, it often prompts for a password -- unacceptable in his application. I've not seen this on my PPC (and I tried 10.4.7, which he's using); his may be an Intel Mac, if that could be the difference.

Nano 6th turns on for a few seconds then screen goes black and nothing. what is wrong with it....

My 6th gen nano turns on for a few seconds, then screen goes black and nano goes off. what is wrong with it? can any one help me out? do I need new battery? do I need a full repair? or is there something I can do myself to fix it. Thanks for your help.

At the moment I say as I've fixed, momentarily:
I made a downgrade to 1.0
The problem, gentlemen, is the upgrade from 1.1 and 1.2
It is a pity that I lost all the new features offered by the new firmware , just because Apple staff could not think to try this new update, on ipods with some airtime.
I hope Apple pull out a version 1.3 with the ability to choose the feature detection, and the user can disable it at will.

Prior to upgrading to Mavericks, you must make sure you meet ALL of its system requirements.

What's wrong with my browsers?

When i first got my macbook the internet was going really slow but then i changed the dns server to 4.2.2.2 and sometimes change it to 4.2.2.1 and the internet got better but now my browsers are acting funny.
One moment i'm surfing webpages with safari or firefox.... Chatting with AdiumX or MS Messenger... and suddenly it just stops... Msn is getting time-out's, Safari says I'm not connected.
But Airport sais it is still connected to my wireless network (with all the black bar's filled). It has valid IP adress etc, But everywhere I want to go on the internet it sais I'm not connected.
When I disconnect the airport en let it reconnect with my wireless network, the connection is fine.
how can i fix this?

Most users shouldn't be manually entering DNS addresses, and those DNS addresses you mention probably aren't intended for end users. Is Level3 your ISP?
That doesn't answer 'what's wrong with my browsers?', but a good start would be to configure your network according to your ISP's instructions. If you have DNS problems then, you might try using OpenDNS.

What's Wrong with My Computer?

I have a G5 desktop computer, I believe it's referred to as a "Power Mac." My mom purchased it some years ago, I think in late 2005 shortly after this particular model was on the market.
Info is:
Version 10.5.8
Processor 4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5
Memory 4.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM
Hard Drive 240 GB (127 GB unused/available)
My mother wasn't using this computer for many years, and my 13" Macbook was giving me trouble, so she gave this one to me. It's all been great (she maxed out the memory and hard drive space when she bought it, even though it is outdated and insignificant compared to current models), except for one little thing... Browsing the internet is usually fine when it's only one window, but not always. However, it is almost a guarantee that while trying to operate multiple windows and trying to play a video, Safari will crash. And not just once in awhile. I'm talking about on a daily basis. During regular offline computer use, like Photoshop or iTunes, the computer will sometimes grey over (as if someone put a fairly thick grey film over the entire screen), and tell me I have to restart the computer. So what's wrong with it? I presume it is a physical issue (failing memory, mother board, etc.), but what?

Your computer is not remotely "maxed out" with RAM.
You're describing a G5 Quad like mine (though mine was built in June of 2006), and maxed out means having 16 GB of RAM installed, like mine has.

That's called a Kernel Panic, and, yes, it is most often caused by hardware problems, such as bad RAM or mismatched RAM. I can't imagine how you get to 4.5 GB of RAM without exponentially increasing the risk of mismatched RAM.
RAM has to be installed in matched pairs, starting from the center slots and spreading outward: 4*3*2*1*1*2*3*4
On the other hand, my own personal experience has led me to conclude that Safari is a piece of cr@p. It causes problems just being active in the background, causing other applications to fail.
Check your RAM carefully, starting with just one pair of matched RAM sticks in the two center slots, then adding one pair at a time. Check your hard disk with Apple's Disk Utility.
The kernel panics can be caused by a damaged directory too, so if you own Disk Warrior, run it. If you don't own DiskWarrior, at least Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility and use Verify Disk/Repair Disk with it.
I'd also recommend downloading and installing Applejack and run it according to the instructions.
Good luck.

What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
What's wrong with my iPod?
Thanks for your help!

so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
- Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
- Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
- Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?

What's wrong with my Final Cut Pro 7.03?
I have just started up a new project.
Every time I try to ad a clip in top of each other a "general error" shows up. The sequence viewer turned red and it displays that I have to close and reopen the window to restore.
The only "new thing" I do - is the use/brand of camera.
Now I use the canon D5 mark 3 for my project (before D5 mark 2)
What's wrong??? Do I need to update my Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 And how do I do this???
Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Did you use Log & Import? Or did you at least convert the D5 files before importing? FCP doesn't work with those files natively.

What is wrong with this code? on(release) gotoAndPlay("2")'{'

Please could someone tell me what is wrong with this code - on(release)

this is the error that comes up and i have tried changing it but it is not working
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 2: '{' expected

Thanks

If you have a frame labelled "2" then it should be:
on (release) {
    this._parent.gotoAndPlay("2");
or other wise just the following to go to frame 2:
on (release) {
     this._parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
You just had a missing curly bracket...

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse. I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze. When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally. Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine. But there are blue stripes on my screen. The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes. I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer. If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed. I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either.
Does anyone else have experience with this? Is it the firmware or what? I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Please help... Thanks!

I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??
