G5 iMac Slow-Down
Graham's iMac [PowerPC G5(3.0), 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM running 10.3.9] has become extremely slow. All applications run slowly and collecting email or using the Internet is so slow as to be useless. The connection is OK because my G5 still works well. I repaired permissions but that has not helped. Can anyone suggest what is wrong/how to fix it?

When the Mac is short of Ram it writes out to the hard drive on temporary files , so a nearly full hard drive will cause everything to slow up . It's good to have 25% of the drive free .

Hello Diana, How much free space do you have on your hard drive? 10/15% is the least amount you should have free. Are there are any applications that hog the CPU? Have you emptied the caches? Download Onyx for Panther here http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/onyx_panther.html use it to empty the caches. Using whatsize will also give you an idea of the size of your various applications, perhaps there are some you don't need that removing would speed things up for you.

Re: G5 iMac Slow-Down
Using Activity Monitor, can you identify what is going on on the machine? - how much System Memory is used/available? If there is no memory left, what is using all the memory? - is the CPU fully utilised or not? - is there a lot of Disk Activity going on? - when you attempt to use the Web, are packets being sent/received in bursts and then stalling, or being sent/received very slowly? Activity Monitor might point you to where the slowdown is happening.

Activity Monitor might point you to where the slowdown is happening. Tried that. CPU is variable but mostly not being used. RAM has 588 MB free. No disk activity. I don't really understand the graph of the Web packets but there are spikes with gaps in between, height of spikes variable but mostly near top of window. As a test I tried again to download Onyx as Ronni suggested. It was not quite as slow as before, at least I got to the download page. I started the download. It only got 33 KB in the first minute, I went away to feed the dogs. Next time I looked there were only red (out) spikes and after 20 minutes it was still at 33 KB and nothing was happening, no spikes at all, so I cancelled. I then looked at the weather and iinet home page, they loaded slowly but they did get there. It seems as though any large job gets stuck. I am a confused old lady!

This would save a senile old man quite a bit of time and worry. Ah, come on Blitto, a senile old man ... you are only a baby ... but everyone is compared to me ;-) I don't use Photoshop, only Photoshop Elements 6 so I'm not sure if this helps you locate your Batch Actions. Photoshop also stores all your actions as part of your personal Photoshop settings. Photoshop saves them into a file called Action Palette.psp. This file is for Photoshop CS (aka PS8) located for Mac in: login name/library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS Settings/Actions Palette.psp I gather its saved when you quit Photoshop.

Iphone Screenshot Download and iWorks Tutorial Question
Heya all, Couple of unrelated questions that happened to have cropped up at the same time. Firstly I'm trying to get a screenshot off my iPhone. The preview method works fine for photos to get them into the mac. The screenshots however appear in .png format greyed out and are unable to be touched. From what I can gather looking around I think its possible with iPhoto which I don't have installed. I could email the files if I had mail setup which I don't. Secondly my Mother is trying to learn using the various mac programs and is after a iWorks Tutorial/walkthrough or the like. She is after a basic course which explains as much as possible she can run through at her own pace? Anyone know of a good place to look for such a tutorial?

It could also be the start of a failing Hard Drive, hence why it's slow. So make sure to keep a good backup. (Techtool can sometimes tell you the status of a drive as well). Thanks for the suggestion Daniel but it didn't work. The iMac does not recognise the Disk Warrior disk (v. 3.0, OS 10.3.2) as a Start Up Disk. It is OK on my computer. Diana , As best as I can tell from your Machine description by using Mactracker , your supplied Mac OS will be later than 10.3.2 and as a consequence that would likely explain why your Disk Warrior will not start up . As you had 10.3.9 now running on the imac that just may explain why the system disk will not advance hope the cpu is not faulty . I can loan you a later version of Disk Warrior if you wish . In between times you may like to connect the imac in Target Disk mode to your own Mac and run a Check Disk program on it using Disk Utility to see what that says . Cheers Bob It did recognise the Panther System Disk but when I tried to start up it stuck at the grey screen with the apple. We only have an ancient version of Tech Tools Pro (v.2.0?) but even if I got an updated version it wouldn't start from it. Any more suggestions? Thanks to all who have offered help.

No Macs for NSW schools
Saw the following in 'The Australian' today. Chinese computer company Lenovo has won a contract to provide 200,000 laptops for NSW secondary school students. The NSW government has also announced agreements reached with software giants Microsoft and Adobe to provide an extensive suite of software for the laptops. The Lenovo contract, worth $150 million, includes 25,000 laptops for teachers. It will be funded as part of the federal government's $1.9 billion digital education program. Premier Nathan Rees said his government would contribute $25.5 million for the software, which he said would cost each student more than $5,500 if they were to purchase it in a store. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Installing Leopard on G4 iMac
Hi all, I have a G4 lamp shade iMac which requires erase and install because of some corruption on its hard disk. Have not been able to solve it with Disk warrior or Disk utility. The screen remains grey. The iMac came with Panther V 10.3 and was running Tiger until it failed last week. Can I install Leopard after the erase or do I have to start with Panther then upgrade to Tiger and then to Leopard ?

Re: Installing Leopard on G4 iMac
Hi Walter, If you have the full retail version of Leopard, then you should be able to boot from the install disk and do the erase and install. BUT many of the G4 iMacs (eg mine!) are not supported for Leopard (processor too slow) - in which case you will not be able to install from the Leopard disk. If your iMac is officially too slow there are ways around this - Google is your friend - but you may find the performance very sluggish. Also, if you are having hard disk problems, I would make sure the erased disk checks out OK before spending too much time on set-up. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Installing Leopard on G4 iMac
Hi Walter, Technically, you should be able to install Leopard on the late model 1.25GHz G4 iMac. License-wise, unless you got the family pack, you are only licensed to install it on one machine (either the G4 or the intel but not both). As far as I know, Apple doesn't have any active software measures to stop you installing it on two machines - it's an honour system. If you actually want to run Classic apps, you should stick to Tiger. Regarding the Tiger upgrade DVD - I think that it will probably check for an appropriate existing system before installing - if it can actually see the existing Tiger system on your hard drive (even though it's not booting) you MAY be able to run an erase install directly over the old system. I would think the easiest way would be just to try - the installer should tell you if it needs a prior system present that it can't find. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
