Random thermal fan revs.
I have started getting random thermal fan revs on my G5 single 1.8 GHz. The revs last for about fifteen seconds and then go away. Sometimes once or twice a day.

Re: Which printer do you like?
Epson is really good at supporting open source, so their printers will work out of the box with Linux. Right now I have a Canon that is connected by ethernet to my router so that my whole family can print to it. Very cool, but no dice with printing when I am using Linux. Canon has cool features, but I miss the slightly more basic Epson printers I have had, unfortunately, they don't seem to be available in my area and the shops that sell Apple hardware are really pushing Canon printers hard.

I've had my MP600 all-in-one for about a year and a half, maybe two years now, and it's been great. The print quality is excellent, and I've never had to deal with a clogged nozzle like I always had to back when I had my Epson. Also, the Epson was like the Hummer of Printers—it went through ink crazy fast. The Canon is more like the Prius of Printers. It gets more work than the Epson ever did, and the ink cartridges last longer. Another major benefit of the Canon—and I believe that HP does this too— is that you can still print when one color is low or even entirely out. I remember that you couldn't do that on the Epson. And, the ink cartridges supplied by Canon are transparent, so you know that when your printer tells you it's out of ink, it's actually telling the truth. (Epson got sued awhile ago because printers reported there was no ink and refused to print even though there was ink still in the cartridges.) I hope that helps you make your decision.

BBC NEWS | Technology | Apple to ditch Macworld gathering
Apple to ditch Macworld gathering By Maggie Shiels Technology reporter, BBC News, San Francisco In a surprise move, Apple said it is to abandon its annual tech gathering Macworld after this January's event. Meanwhile news that the keynote address will not be given by CEO Steve Jobs has reignited speculation about his health following cancer four years ago. Concern was raised earlier in the year when Mr Jobs appeared at the firm's developer conference looking gaunt. Apple spokesman Steve Dowling refused to discuss the issue and said shows like Macworld were no longer relevant. Apple is steadily scaling back on trade shows and in recent years is reaching more people in more ways than ever before, Mr Dowling told BBC News. Every week 3.5 million people visit our retail stores. And like many companies, trade shows are a minor part of how Apple reaches its customers. Mr Dowling also said that as the company had scaled back on such shows, it had ramped up stand-alone launch events like the September iPod launch seen by millions of people on the internet. IDG which runs the show put a brave face on things. We are on track for a terrific show with strong attendance numbers and nearly 500 exhibitors showcasing their products, Paul Kent, general manager of Macworld Expo told the BBC. The conference and expo has thrived for 25 years due to the strong support of tens of thousands of members of the Mac community worldwide. We are committed to serving their interests, he said. Greatly exaggerated Macworld is regarded as a highlight for Apple fans with new product launches fronted by Mr Jobs. When Mr Jobs went on stage at Apple's world wide developer conference in June, his physical appearance shocked many. He appeared thin and emaciated and speculation became rife that he had suffered a setback after a bout of pancreatic cancer in 2004. Later in the year, he joked about it on stage in San Francisco when he launched the new range of iPods. At one point in his demonstration he appeared in front of a giant screen that displayed the words the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. This was in reference to an obituary that had been mistakenly published. But analysts are again pointing to the possibility that Mr Jobs's health is an issue. I think Steve's health is a factor, analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray told MarketWatch. I think it means there's a change of power at Apple... Steve Jobs is playing less of a role. And that is not up for debate. Apple could have dismissed a lot of rumours by having him give the final keynote and they opted not to. The keynote will be presented by Phillip Schiller who is Apple's senior vice-president of worldwide product marketing. Falling share price It has not been a good week for Apple. Earlier Goldman Sachs analyst David Bailey downgraded the stock, cut his estimate for Apple's 2009 profit and warned some nicks have started to emerge. Mr Bailey pointed out that the first two quarters of next year would be tough for the company with deteriorating consumer demand. Shipments of MacBooks, iPod nanos and iPhone were all slightly lower than what was expected going into the [December] quarter, he wrote in a note to clients. However he said Apple's ability to innovate would keep it ahead of the competition. Sales of Macs in US stores last month fell 1% from a year ago, while industry-wide PC sales rose 2%, according to research firm NPD Group Inc which tracks retail sales. Shares of Apple fell just over 5% in after hours trading on the news of the Macworld announcement to close at more than $99.444 (£58).

Re: G5 and 10.5.5 nightmare.
Hi Kris, Thanks for your reply. I just ran Disk Utility and got the report that everything is fine on my backup disk. Having said that, I think you may be right about Time Capsule being responsible for the serious system slowdowns that I was experiencing. I also use MobileMe and MyDisk.se so that could explain some of it as well, but the odd thing was that only in the very beginning, when I started experiencing the system performance hit problem, was there any correlation between system slowdown and Time Capsule or MobileMe activity. There was no visible activity from either Time Capsule, MobileMe or anything in the Activity Monitor that revealed the slowdown at the end. I had even run Onyx at a point, to make sure that the daily, weekly and monthly chore scripts had been run recently, flushed the app and browser caches, etc. without any sign of improvement.

I think the answer to number two is that I had set the backup not to backup my applications folder, thus saving space. This probably also excluded the Finder. However, this doesn't explain why a reinstall of system 10.5.5 using archive and install stops with the message that it could not prepare the disk. Any ideas? I think it's Time Machine and specifically the Time Capsule. I think Time Capsule has problems and the massive performance hits that my system gradually started taking over a period of a week or so were probably related to a failing Time Capsule/Time Machine? I'm thinking your restored Time Machine/Capsule system won't boot because of problems with Time Capsule. Have you run Disk Utility on the Time Capsule HD yet? If you get an error message saying it needs to be reformatted you're hosed, just like I was. I lost over 700 GB of backup data. I've since created a normal clone backup of about 500 GB of the 700, and I've got my fingers crossed for the other 200 which reside on several laptops. I would have taken my Time Capsule back to Apple for warranty work except that I'm using the router, and it's going to be a giant hassle to return it. I'm very disappointed with Time Capsule. Great idea, terrible execution. For all those considering a Time Capsule, having a separate router backup HD has BIG advantages if you have hardware warranty issues. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: G5 and 10.5.5 nightmare. (solved)
I am still unsure about the system performance hits, I'll have to check up on that. The experience has had its educational aspects. The most important, seen from my perspective, is that I have a slightly better idea of how Time Machine works. The user is apparently expected to install a new, clean system for restoring. After the partition has been reformated, the system installed and the computer rebooted from the drive, you get prompted to migrate/restore info from another computer or Time Machine backup. Whatever info you have backed up then gets migrated into the new system. This worked without a hitch for me.

G5 and 10.5.5 nightmare.
I have had a problem similar to other postings on this list with my G5 single and 10.5.5. I don't think there was a kernel crash, I couldn't find it in the logs at any rate, but I have been experiencing problems with the system becoming very slow. I ran Disk Utility from my system with no errors. Big hit on performance continued. Checked the activity monitor, but I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. I booted from the 10.5 DVD and ran Disk Utility again, still no disk errors. Ran fix permissions. Permissions froze. Rebooted. Yaboot gone and my aluminum Apple keyboard refused to open DVD. Hooked up an old white Apple keyboard. Ran DiskWarrior. Accepted the changes, which were minor - a couple of folder icon changes and something with the library. Rebooted. Apple appeared with white background, some of the drivers loaded and then just got a spinning wheel. Never completed booting. Hard shutdown, tried again, same problem. Rebooted from 10.5 DVD. Started restore from backup. 39.2% completed and the restore crashed. Now I am sitting here and wondering how and why the damn situation disintegrated to the point where I am at now!! Any ideas how to get out of this situation would be appreciated with my info intact.

Re: Apple Psystar Come To A Settlement!
This discussion is starting to remind me of the debate around the UMAX S900 and other Mac clones that were prevented from an authorized upgrade path to OS X.

The clone wars drove me over to Microsoft for a while, but after only two years my motherboard quit on me and I got tired of the crappy hardware that often follows with Windows.

Re: Address Book and iCal stuff AWOL after upgrade to Leopard.
I received the following from the developers of Contactizer Pro, which utilizes Address Book and iCal: No this is not possible. Copying the data yourself, in the case of the AddressBook database leads to many problems. Apple has really f** up everything with the migration path. My last resort is trying to migrate the info via MobileMe, which I am using as a trial right now. All of the necessary info is on my 1st. generation iPhone and I have setup both the latest version of iTunes, as well as upgraded to firmware 2.1. BUT, the big gotcha is that whether I try to sync with iTunes or by setting up my MobileMe account on my iPhone, I get warned that all info on my iPhone will be written over. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to sync MobileMe using my iPhone as the dominant device. Any other ideas?

New 10.5.5 system on G5 doesn't show in startup disk control panel.
I have what appears to be a fully functioning new 10.5.5 system on my G5 single, but for some reason it doesn't show up in the startup disk control panel. Booting from the Leopard install DVD, I have run Disc Utility and checked the drive as well as repaired permissions, but even booting from the DVD, I can't set my new system as the startup disk. Here is a recap: I just tried installing Leopard (10.5.4) on my G5 single with archive and install. It worked fine until the end, where I got a message saying that the installation was almost complete - a minute left. After about 10 minutes, I clicked on the utilities menu in the menu bar and suddenly got a spinning beach ball. The progress bar stopped moving at the same time. The situation remained the same for over an hour before I shut down my G5. I rebooted without the install DVD and got an intro video and then Migration Manager kicked in. The video and Migration Manager continued recycling if anything besides migrating system and network prefs. I went for that as I thought that the other bits could probably be transfered later. I got the following error message: Networking settings could not be transferred correctly I booted into the system. Looong boot up with a yellowish-white screen, then a black one and then finally I got a prompt to set settings, register, etc. Access to the Internet through my router worked, I also suddenly got a prompt that updates to the system were available. I decided things couldn't get that much worse, so I updated to 10.5.5. The system rebooted and things still seem to be working, though I still think the system boot is long compared to Tiger.

Migrating from Tiger to Leopard on G5.
I have a G5 single that I would like to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. My G5 has two internal 500 GB hard discs. I would like to clone my Tiger system to the second drive with SuperDuper!, erase the main drive and do a clean install of Leopard and then migrate the apps that I use, the pref files and the documents, e-mail, registration/license files, etc. to Leopard. Are there any tools that do this or do I have to do this manually? OS X has some sort of tool to migrate from one computer to another, is this possible from one drive to another?

Re: Migrating from Tiger to Leopard on G5.
Sounds good. BTW, does spell checking improve in Leopard for those of us that mangle a number of languages or is CocoAspell still a must?

You will have to re-install any third party drivers, pref-panes and such, but all your applications, prefs, documents, etc are preserved. You end up with a 'Previous Systems' folder with the old system folder if you absolutely positively have to recover something (which I've had to do ONCE in managing a number of OS X systems since 10.2 came out, and that was an X11-based DNA sequencing application). No quirks go along, unless they're residing in your user's stuff...which would be transferred anyway, using the method you want to do. In fact this will isolate whether your quirks are system or user-basedif they show up again, the cause resides somewhere in your user directory. -- Bruce Johnson --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
