Yet another dead g5.

Alright guys. i've had my g5 since 05. Ive run it pretty hard since, but have had no issues at all until last december/jan, when openGL just quit working, the thing got real slow, DVD drive quit alltogether, and i had no network...took it to apple, and they told me the logic board went..replaced it, and all was well
So today i wake up, and i go to wake up my G5...and i get..nothing...yea it turns on, but no screen...fans run, hard drives spin up
So i power down, power back up, and i get fans, no chime, and 3 blinking LEDs. ALright, fine, i know that means ram. So i spend the next 20 minutes removing ram, testing it, matching it, testing other ram, etc...
At one point it did boot, when i ran it with 2x512, and i unplugged the DVD drive, but i couldnt get it to come back after that.
Ive tried resetting the SMU/PMU. Dont even bother telling me try open firmware or zap pram, cause i cant get to the open firmware screen.
Now, i am seeing a TON of these posts for G5s. Is apple going to do anything for us? or are we to expect only a few years out of our new machines til they die and we have to buy new ones?
Also, since apple replaced my logic board, does that mean my serial number changed? as far as i know the machine is out of warranty, since they only added a 90 day one on with the new board..and that was replaced last april..
any ideas? i hate PCs and this experience doesn't fill me with confidence in getting a new mac...that is if i could, since i'm flat broke thanks to the economy, with plenty of projects coming up that i need my mac for, but hey, doesn't look like thats going to happen.

Well guys after a VERY long day, i got home, called apple, and that began part 2 of my long day.
I first called their support line, politely gave them my info, and the first technician claimed my serial number was invalid. shrugs i explained the problem, and he said he had to put me on hold to talk to his supervisor...yea, well, being put on hold, is really just being told "we're going to hang up on you."
I made 3 more calls. 1 more at tech service, 2 more at consumer relations, all the same result. On one of them, i heard someone pickup the phone while i was on hold, then they scrambled a bit, and hung up! I couldn't believe this!
So out of desparation, i called the Apple store i bought it from. Only way you can talk to someone is if you want to inquire about directions, so i told them i needed directions to someone who wouldn't hang up on my issue. The guy laughed, but said there wasn't much they could do, other than patch me back to where i was. I figured hey, why not, atleast this way, they dont see my number on caller id, they see the apple store.
I was connected to a very nice girl named Lisa. She took down more info than just my name and serial...I could tell she was in better spirits. So after some small talk, and being told she should be charging me per minute since my applecare was up, she decided to hear my story. She gave me a few things to try, and just to comply, i did them step by step with no luck. Firmware reset, etc..
So she agreed, it was the logic board. She did the "let me talk to a product specialist" i jokingly asked her not to hang up, and she assured me she wouldn't. About 20 minutes passed, and she returned, with bad news, saying this specialist wouldn't budge, since the board died after apple's 90 days. I again said, "Well, i know this, but you can't tell me apple makes boards meant to last 8 or 9 months?" she said she agreed, and we'd take a shot in the dark at the Consumer Relations department. So i go back on hold for at least another solid 20 minutes....She returned, and said the guy was going to give me a break, that he stepped away, she just wanted to assure me she was still there.
So when she finally came back, she told me that "apple has agreed to atleast pay for the part" I was amazed! I have to pay labor, which im sure i STILL cant afford, but ill take labor over 1,000$ logic board. I jokingly asked if apple could just send me the board, and i could figure out how to get it in there myself, and she laughed and said "ask em, you never know"
So we setup an appointment at my closest apple store, and gave me the case number and exception code, so now this thursday, at 11am, i'm taking my mac back in for fixin.
Its looking like a happy ending as of this current minute!

Yet another dead mic with Win7 64-bit upgrd - Portege M700

Title says it all. Mics used to work fine on this machine under Windows XP. Under Win7, except as I note below, the mic has inaudibly low volume with any Control Panel Sound settings. I've spent huge amounts of time trying to solve this. After seeing all the similar posts (with no solutions, it seems) from users of many different Toshiba laptops, I'm about to start spreading the meme across the Internet that Toshiba laptops can't use mics.
I started by upgrading to Win7 then adding just the 64-bit drivers I need from Toshiba's support site. No joy. Then I started from a clean Win7 upgrade (64-bit Home) using Toshiba's upgrade script. Nope. Installed latest generic drivers from Realtek. Hmm .. some progress, maybe: now with some Sound settings I can get slightly more volume but the mic input is drowned out by white noise-ish hissing. All right, disable any other sound sources I can adjust: disable Chicony webcam driver from Device Manager. Hmm, now mike volume can get fairly high but the hissing still drowns it out.
Toshiba: At some level, this is a problem between Microsoft and Realtek, I know. But you can help us. MS changed the audio model significantly since Win XP, including (god knows why!) giving up the little audio mixer app that used to let you adjust levels for different sound sources. And Realtek's generic driver doesn't provide one either. So just give us a way to adjust levels for different audio inputs! Maybe I haven't Googled sufficiently and some hacker out there has one, but I kinda doubt it ... if it requires driver-level access as I suspect, Microsoft's new DRM-motivated hammerlock limiting us to signed drivers prevents us from fixing this ourselves. (It also means we can't access our ext3 partitions without extreme measures, but that's another rant.) So CAN SOME TOSHIBA ENGINEER PLEASE LET MANAGEMENT KNOW THEY'RE ABOUT TO DESTROY THEIR LAPTOP FRANCHISE OVER AUDIO ISSUES? Just cut, paste, and forward a couple dozen of these threads. Sure, it's a career risk but (wo)man up to it! Audio really matters to laptop buyers nowadays ... without Skype, I'll have do carry Yet Another Device when I'm traveling. Heck, I've personally bought at least 6 Toshiba laptops over the years and I'm starting to shop for a replacement. Anything but Toshiba, I'm sorry to say :-(
Oh, in case somebody has an idea of something else I can try, the specific model is PPM70U-1KC01DB

Yet another DEAD Airport base station !

Encore une borne Airport express "morte" !
Et bien, apparemment Apple à décidé de fermer la possibilité d'ajouter des commentaires sur ce "topic" (sujet)
Airport express "morte" - la diode ne s'allume même plus ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=222954&tstart=30)
Je voulais pourtant simplement ajouter ma borne à la liste des victimes car elle est décédée après environ 20 mois...
Il semble qu'Apple essaye de cacher ce problème mais la colère se répand et ils seront probablement bientôt obligés de reconnaître le problème en étendant la garantie de leur produit affecté par un vice caché.
Allons Apple, soyez honnêtes ! Ne laissez pas tomber vos clients fidèles.

Version française en bas du post.
Hello to all !
1/ Let's keep this faulty or dead APX (Airport express) posts on top of this forum so other affected users may find them more easily when looking for a diagnosis .
2/ Important !!! Always make screen shots of your posts. If your posts are erased by Apple sent them to me ([email protected]) I may post them on my website (I fortunately have almost unlimited bandwidth and space)
3/ Also, doing so, Apple will no longer be able to erase or lock post on this topic without getting ridiculed.
Always post a copy of your post / reports on the Macbidouille.com / Hadmac.com forums.
a) http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?showtopic=192517&st=0
b) http://forum.hardmac.com/index.php?showtopic=167
I'm sure it's a growing problem for Apple, otherwise they wouldn't have erased / locked some posts about this APX sudden death.
Unfortunately many users with dead APX may not read Macbidouille.com / Hadmac.com and so may not be aware of the problem, they may have thought they had bad luck. This means that the already large amount of over 700 cases (counted by Macbidouille.com / Hadmac.com) probably represent only a fraction of the real amount of APX sudden death cases...
Spread the word around you so more people become aware of this !
I think it's really about time to contact consumer protection organizations as well as the mainstream medias and our own lawyers.
If we all fight together, Apple will be forced to recognize the problem and apply an extended warranty to Airport express.

Bonjour à tous !
1/ Essayons de garder ce "topic" (sujet) en haut de la page du forum dédié à Airport express, d'autres clients lésés pourront ainsi plus facilement trouver les infos nécessaires à un bon diagnostic.
2/ IMPORTANT !!! Prenez toujours une capture d'écran de vos posts ! Si ces derniers sont effacés par Apple envoyez les moi ([email protected]) et je les publierai sur mon site (j'ai heureusement de la bande passante et de l'espace disque presque illimité)
3/ En procédant de cette manière Apple ne sera pas en mesure d'effacer vos posts / rapports sans se ridiculiser encore plus !
Postez toujours une copie de vos posts sur les forums de Macbidouille.com / Hadmac.com.
a) http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?showtopic=192517&st=0
b) http://forum.hardmac.com/index.php?showtopic=167
Je suis persuadé que cette affaire dérange de plus en plus Apple sinon ils n'auraient pas, malhonnêtement, tenté de la cacher.
Malheureusement tous les clients Apple lésés ne lisent pas Macbidouille.com / Hadmac.com et beaucoup d'entre eux mettent certainement le décès prématuré de leur borne sur le compte de la malchance. Ceci prouve certainement que l'affaire est bien plus grave que les 700 cas recensés par Macbidouille.com / Hadmac.com et que le nombre de cas de mort subite des APX est largement supérieur.
Faites connaître ce problème autour de vous, passez l'information !
Il est vraiment temps de passer à l'action et de contacter les organisations de consommateurs, les médias et la justice.
Si nous nous unissons et nous battons nous arriverons sans doute à forcer Apple à reconnaître le problème et à accorder une extension de garantie à tous ceux qui sont touchés.
Salutations à tous !

Another dead 512mb?

Hey all,
The trouble Im having with this unit started about a week ago, when it quite literally just stopped working. It went from working normally to giving me the error light indicators, for no apparent or particular reason. When I attempted to reset it the first time, the ipod updater hung on "initializing" indefinitely, and resulted in it being terminated as a 'not responding' process. Now, the ipod updater doesnt recognize the unit at all, though windows recognizes its been connected. Having said that, I can't access the unit (listed e:) via my navigator, command prompt, or anything else - I/O error. Am I looking at yet another replacement unit....or is there something else I can try?
I only ask because this will be the fourth replacement in less than a year. (two arrived at my doorstep dead as doornails).
Thanks.

With your evident ability to beat the odds, it's time for you to consider either (a) buying lots of lotto tickets or (b) avoiding being outside in thunderstorms.
Let's assume that, to use a wildly pessimistic figure, 1 in a 1,000 iPod Shuffles are DOA. The actual number can be nowhere near that high, but it makes the point well enough.
For you to receive bad shuffles twice in a row would literally be a one in a million shot. Not that likely but, sure, you can see how it might happen now and then.
Once it happens the third time, however? No, it just doesn't work for me anymore; it's gone over from possible blind chance to willful avoidance or ignorance of other issues.
What issues, and what else can you try? Here's just a partial list of things which cause Shuffle problems in the World of Windoze:
If you already have iTunes installed, it can cause some conflicts with RealPlayer and your iPod. To avoid these conflicts, we recommend setting up your iPod to be compatible with RealPlayer. You must carefully follow their directions for setting it up. Note that their required steps are just about as long as the longest Windoze-related troubleshooting steps for the IPS.
Shuffles may not seat properly in the (Dell & other) USB ports. Workarounds are docking stations or equivalent (usb extention cable).
Sometimes just disabling the USB port using the device manager and re-enabling will work.
If you are using the iPod Shuffle on a PC, and letting Windows take over the process, make sure the next letter in the drive sequence is available for the OS to assign to the iPod.
Some PC motherboards do not supply the standard amount of power though, so if you can't recognise the shuffle as being plugged in at all, you may need to buy a USB2 adapter card for your PC.
Most Dell laptops, as well as some models from many other manufacturers, suffer from low power
Make sure that Windows XP has service pack 2 installed.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .

Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).

Hi Emlou,
If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
Thanks!
Paul

Yet another No Service iPhone 4, second hand

Hi all,
Apologies for yet another topic about the No Service issue on the iPhone 4. I bought a secondhand iPhone 4 16GB 2 days ago after having a 3GS 32GB for 18 months with no problems. iPhone 4 was just over a week old when I bought it (warranty date shows when it was first activated), on the O2 UK network like my old one.
All was fine for 2 days, was receiving and making calls and texts etc with no problems. But since late afternoon yesterday the phone has mostly said No Service. It occasionally goes onto O2-UK but with no bars of signal so calls and texts still fail immediately.
I've tried all of the tips I can find online to resolve this, airplane mode on/off, reset network settings, restore from backup, restore as new phone, hard resets. But nothing's working.
I can take out my SIM and put it into my 3GS, in the same location, and get 5 bars of signal, all my texts come through. Then put SIM back into iPhone 4 and straight away, No Service.
I've made a Genius bar appointment for tomorrow afternoon, but I'm wondering what happens regarding the fact that I'm not the person who bought the phone in the first place? Will this be an issue?
Thank you in advance for any advice about this, was so looking forward to having this phone and now, bleh!

I spoke to o2, they checked my SIM is activated and said they don't need a record of my IMEI number. Still saying No Service so will have to see what the "Genius" says tomorrow!

Yet another Mac Book Pro (A1211/2.33 GHz) freeze problem

Hi everyone,
I have yet another freeze mystery, if people fancy having a crack at it.
I had this notebook for about 4 and a half years and it served me well until 2 months ago. It is a 15' MBP from December 2008 (A1211) with a 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM.
Now I constantly get lags or freezes while I am using it.It manifests itself via the beachball and a frozen screen. First, I thought it was the hard drive but I replaced it with a tested new one and I still get the same behaviour. The reason I thought it was the HD is that it seems to freeze often when there was a lot of access to HD or memory. For example, firefox would cause a freeze quite often when it was trying to access the cache or history. I get the same behaviour when trying indexing my music for the genius feature. Often when I close applications, it will halt the system for about 2 minutes.
I think the number of lags also correlates with temperature. I am pretty sure that the notebook's heat diffusion properties has deteriorated strongly over the past year as it seems to be using the fans a lot more extensively. The heatsink seems to get really hot these days as well. So my next step would be checking the thermal paste on the heat sink. Before I am going to do that, I want to consider any remaining options as dismantling the laptop up to the heatsink is a bit of a pain.
My gut feeling would be that it has to do either with the memory or maybe some 'bridge' that transfers the data between HD, GPU, CPU and memory. I am aware that bridge is the wrong word and I am simplifying the architecture of the mainboard too much, but I am sure you get what I mean. The data rate between some of those is inhibited.
The reason why I am saying some is that often the system seems overwhelmed by the amount of commands, just sits there and then resumes executing all of them as it had taken a break. This can be easily seen when streaming video in a web browser. I often get the beach ball and my whole screen freezes, but the movie, or at least the sound, keeps running in the background. After a while it usually resumes and shows the movie at the current playing position. Sometimes it doesn't recover, not even after 30 minutes and I have to switch it off.
I hope I provided enough information for you guys to have a think about this.
Any help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.

Before re-installing the operating system, which might also work, I found this article helpful:
http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/Fix-Spod-How-To-Fix-A-Spinning-Pinwheel -Of-Death.htm
I've followed the directions since they seem to make sense and am waiting for the next Pinwheel of Death. They seem to be saying the same thing you are Chris, but ascribe the problem to 'permissions' which are fixable (gasp) via the OS disc utility.

Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

Yet another grey folder thread, help!

Sorry for yet another grey folder thread, but here goes:
Today, earlier, installed Firefox update, along with some addon updates for that program. Quit Firefox and attempt to relaunch, relaunch fails. Reset computer, thinking that will do the trick, I now have grey folder with question mark.
Resolve attempts: reset pram = fail; apple care cd = will not launch/fail; disk utility from original install disks = fail; cannot get repair of disk or permissions to work, continually get error about "failing on exit"; safe mode launch = fail
So, I've done everything, and I've come to conclusion that I am f***, and my HDD is fried (but I hope I am wrong).
So, dear gurus, my question(s)
A) Is my HDD salvageable at all? is there some trick to getting the AppleCare cd to work? Anything?!?!
if not, then B) How can I recover my documents/music/pictures? Long story short, there are several things on there that never had a chance to make my back up schedule, and I desperately want to keep them. Any way to make/copy a disk image to save the docs/imgs, or Firewire them to an external hdd? Do I need to consider a professional HDD rescue?

Looks like a mechanical failure, and Apple won't cover the replacement due to a drop it sustained a year or two ago (the power cable was in, and it fell on the connection point, denting that in, Apple states there is a critical board their and that it would be $950 Tier 3 repair which I can't afford). So I'm going to try a Firewire Migration and a few other things and see if that works. If not, oh well. Thanks everyone for the ideas!

Double up of my document folder If I click on my Documents in finder it then opens another selection of folders including yet another documents folder which if this one is clicked on the folder is repeated yet again this does not appear to be correct help

I believe I have a problem when opening up my documents in finder. where upon I can view all my folders but with yet another Documents folder within this group, if I then click on this second Documents folder yet again a repeat of the do'cs folder appears. I have tried to merge the Documents folders into one but after a morning and a few hours later having completed the merge when I reopened the folders the problem was still there. Help.

Yet another major gripe with APE - restricting connection to home network

Yet another serious issue I have with APE is the fact that since very often, the computer just can't see the base station (even when it is located 30 inches from it...) it will just automatically connect to the next available open wifi network, which happens to be my neighbor's... that way I often finding myself surfing someone's else's unsecured network and it's ******* me off.
I tried to delete all wireless networks from system preferences/network/Airport but this does not makes a difference. Any idea on how to restrict my computer to the APE or at least have Mac OS warn me every time before it connects to an unsecured wireless network?
Thanks.

Somewhat easy: I'm assuming you're using Leopard, mainly because I ran through the options from leopard. Other versions of OS X may have slightly different placement or names...
Click on the airport icon in the menu bar.
Choose "Open Network Preferences"
Select "Airport"
There's a checkbox labeled "Ask to join new networks" Make sure it is enabled.
Select "advanced..." (it's a button, lower right)
You can change the connection order by dragging your network to the top of the list.
You can also click on a connection you don't want, then click on the '-' button below it to remove that connection. (and at least the first time, the computer will ask you if you want to connect)
You can go a step futher, by de-selecting the checkbox labeled "Remember any network this computer has joined" That way it won't add anything to your list of 'remembered' networks.

Display hints, custom format method in VO, is there yet another way?

Did you experience the same and had a solution?
Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and looking for yet another way of customizing the display of an attribute of a view object.
I have two tables: BILL and AWARDS, with composite foreign key relationship (on the LDAP_UID and TERM fields) between them, as illustrated below.
The BILL table:
NAME       LDAP_UID    TERM   CREDIT_HRS
Tom Smith tom.simth   200902       12.5
Jane Lopez jane.lopez 200906        4.0
The AWARD table:
LDAP_UID    TERM SOURCE     APPLIED
tom.smith 200902 Perkins     2000.00
tom.smith 200906 Direct      1300.00
jane.lopez 200906 CN           500.00 At the business data model level, this is master(Bill)/detail(Awards) relationship. Bill is dragged from the data control palette to the page and displayed as a form, and Awards is dragged to the page as a table. When tom.smith logs in and chooses the 200902 TERM, the master and detail are joined on tom.smith=tom.smith and 200902=200902, so the $2,000.00 of Perkins loan is retrieved for him:
Name Tom Smith
Term 200902
Source    Applied
Perkins   $2,000.00That works fine but not user friendly: the values in the TERMS column are a bit cryptic and need to be displayed in plain English, i.e., 200902 should be displayed as "Spring 2009" and 200906 as "Summer 2009". The display hints in the VO can not handle this. The only other way I know is writing a method in the Row class of the VO to do the translation. And this is the result:
Name Tom Smith
Term Spring 2009
Source        Applied
No rows yet   Obviously, "Spring 2009" is used not only for display, but also for joining the master and detail tables. Of course "Spring 2009"!=200902, therefore no detail is retrieved for the user.
Question is: is there yet another way to customize the display, that does not affect the join of master and detail tables?
Many thanks for your help!
Newman

Hi, Chris,
That works!
I found the chapter where transient attribute is explained and an example is given creating a transient attribute in the entity object. It turned out that transient attribute works both in entity object and view object. I did it in the VO and it solves my problem.
I spent hours of time before posting that question, trying two different ways but neither worked. Your one sentence saved me a lot of time. I do appreciate you help very much!
Truly,
Newman

HT4191 why do you need yet another email address to sync notes

Is there a way to sync ipad notes with an imac desktop without opening up yet another unwanted "email" address? Why do compaines constantly demand that you open up email addresses through all of them?

Notes are very special, their sync is done by IMAP(mail) server that syncs our emails. In order to sync notes you "have to" be connected to that IMAP and mail account is "your connection". BTW mail "ON" button will not sync your emails - it only syncs email settings between devices, like server rules, blocked servers, etc. It will not reflect on other icloud stuff, but what it will do is move your notes sync from current sync ( if one exsits) to different. For example you notes currently can be local (on my phone), Yahoo or exchange like google. (you can check that by going to settings - mail contacts and calendars- and under your mail accounts you will see small "contacts" "calendars" and if you will see "notes" that would be your current syncing IMAP.

Yet another dead g5.
