Will a power regulator solve my problem?

Hi! I have a long story to tell, put please be patient as I hope someone will be able to tell me if there is a problem with my power. I have a G5 and I run Final Cut Pro on it. One day, the computer worked fine; the next day, the display would not come on. I hooked it up to an old PC monitor and it worked. I tried various different outlets in my home; I even tried hooking the computer to one outlet and the display to an outlet on a separae circuit breaker but still it did not work. I drove the whole system to an Apple store 1 hour away. Everything worked perfectly. When I returned home, nothing worked. I took it to a friend's house 15 minutes away and still no results. Apple support suggested that it was the display adapter box, or that a wire was jiggled into place on the way to the stoe and then jiggled back out on the way home. Unlikely. Anyway, they sent a new display adapter and now the display works fine. No one, though, can explain why it worked at the store and not at my home. All the connections and equipment were the same. I brought it with me to Pittsburgh, PA (8 hours away)in the hopes that someone at the store where I purchased it could help me, but there was no need as it worked like a dream in that location. When I returned, however, I now have trouble starting my G5 (first no start up chimes; then chimes but no display, and finally the display will come but it freezes up, and finally it usually works). Today, it has been constantly freezing up (in less than 5 minutes its frozen). A friend suggested that it might be the power coming into the house and said that there are battery back-up units you can buy that regulate the flow of power. Will such a device help solve my problem? Thanks for your patience!

ok,I think one of your problems could be the battery on the motherboard,when left for long periods of time this battery can drain and cause problems,if you registered your applecare and are under warranty I think you can have this replaced,if not you can purchase a battery from macsales.com,the batery is $5 plus the shipping.
You should also get a ups,with a rating of 1000 to 1500.I have a apc 1000 rated supply for my rig.A computer's harddrive can suffer corruption of data during a brown out.
Other than that the only thing you could do is download a utility called mem test from versiontracker.com to check your current ram.
Reseating the graphics card could also help.
If none of the above works call applecare.

We live in an old Victorian House and have virtually no connectivity on the second or third floor using a Linksys System, will the Apple Aiorport solve thge problem ? do you need sattelite stations on each floor?

Any advice on Airport solving our second and third floor WIFI connectivity problems welcomed, do we need sattelite stations, ?? do not mind buying the system if it works?

......will the Apple Airport solve the problem?
The broadcast power of all wireless routers is controlled by law, so as you might imagine, devices from varying manufactureres tend to perform about the same. It is very unlikely that an Apple AirPort router would perform significantly better...or worse...than the Linksys device that you have now.
do we need satttelite stations?
Yes, probably at least one per floor and possibly more, depending on the thickness of the walls in the areas where a wireless signal will be needed. Since you already have a Linksys router, and it is always best to use products from the same manufacturer on a wireless network, it would probably make sense to check with Linksys to see what they suggest as additions to your current router.
It would be a excellent idea to have an IT professional come out and survey the house and take some measurements with test equipment to propose a system that is right for your needs. That will likely save a lot of headaches (and money) down the road.

Rate Limiting - Will Content Engine 590 solve my problem?

We have a Cache Engine 550 deployed in our network which is great for reducing traffic on the Link to the Internet, however I have now run into a little problem with the device as we are now trying to implement Bandwidth Shaping using the existing Cisco infrastructure and thus the Cisco IOS.
One of the IOS features concerned is Committed Access Rate (CAR).
We would like to do some traffic shaping according to certain IP Protocols such as FTP, HTTP as well as rate limiting certain of our customers (IP Blocks) so that they dont saturate the Serial link to our ISP.
The problem we have is that the Cache Engine 550 replaces the original requestors IP with its own as it (the CE) now takes over as the requestor to the Internet thus we have all HTTP traffic via our ISP having the source as that of the Cache Engine.
Due to this we cannot Rate-Limit a particular customer (IP range).
Question-------
Does the Content Engine 590 (ACNS, ICDN) enable me to complete my task and control the Serial connection the way I would like to?
Can I do a sort of IP Spoofing so that the original IP is still in place, but the Content Engine still does its job of Caching?
I have already looked at the Packeteer unfortunately it only has Ethernet ports.
The WiseWan 401 with HSSI port looked promising, but I feel that even though it will do great shaping and graphs it will still not solve the problem of a saturated link upstream to the ISP (from the boxes point of view), I will still sit with packets being dropped and thus bandwidth wasted.
Anyone out there with any other solution?
Thanks in advance.
Lutz.

Hi,
We have just implemented IP spoofing in version 4.2 of ACNS code. (Caching) which will only run on a 590/560/507/7320 cache.
Version 4.2 sould be available at the end of July early August. This will slove you problem with identifing traffic to rate limit.
Cheers

Does restoring your iPod solve the problem with the updater?

I have a fourth generation iPod and I downloaded the 10-12-2005 updater. Since then my click wheel will not work, but all the buttons on my iPod still work. I have looked through the discussions and many other people have this same problem, but i have not found any solution. Will restoring my iPod solve this problem? I want to be sure before I erase everything.

The music will come of your iPod but STAY on your computer. Documents that are on your iPod should be backed up because they will be deleted as well. Check the link below if you need more help.

My dvd player will not let me change regions, it says i have one more chance to change it, then it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem?

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem? I've copied the logs that I found for each kernel panic that still have the message logged. Please help if you can, I have read some of the other comments and perhaps it has something to do with my anti-virus software being on at start up. I have copied the log here. Any advice will be welcome.

Immediate suspects are the additions you added to you rsystem that installed kexts (drivers). From above,

Two experiments you can try.
1. Boot in safe mode and see if you can shut down normally. All thise additions won't be running in safe mode so this test would indicate it is one of them causing the problem.
2. Uninstall all the intego VirusBarrier stuff. That's my first guess and the troublemaker.

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called. If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through. Anyway to solve this problem?

Hey David Koh TP,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
Thanks,
Matt M.

My MacBook Air won't stay off. I turn it off and it will wait anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours and turn itself back on. You can see how that can get annoying and I can't seem to solve the problem.

There's a slight chance this might help:

Otherwise it needs to be repaired.

I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

I have 2 iphones registered under the same appleID. Every text message that is sent to my phone, the other phone receives as well. If I turn "imessage" off on the other phone, will this solve the problem from her receiving text messages meant for me?

I have 2 Iphones, registered under the same AppleID. Mine, and my mom's. I recently (today) did the software udate for her phone, and ever since-she receives every message i send to my girlfriend, and every response that my girlfriend sends to me. I read up on Imessage, and checked the settings on both phones. On each phone "imessage"was turned on, so i turned Imessage off. Will this solve the problem of my mom receiving every message that i send and receive? Also, if i turn Imessage back on, on my phone-will i still have privacy to text?

Why not create a second Apple ID? Wouldn't that solve the problem much more straightforwardly?

I realize is only 512MB of memory but I want to make sure that a new iMac will solve this problem. Can the new iPhoto handle 10GB or more of photos? Or do I have to go to Picasa anyways in which case I can buy any computer to do that?

The model of Mac is not partcularly relevant, it's the version of the OS and iPhoto that matter.
iPhoto - since 2006 - is good for 250,000 images.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
