Any help here would be much appreciated.:-) John Carmonne Yorba Linda CA 92886 USA Sent from my MBP Hi John, Last August I bought an ex-demo 8-core MacPro 2.26 ( E5520) so I could run CS5 - necessary for work. Domestic senior management has 'inherited' my older G5 dual 2.0, which is more than adequate for her needs. You'll be amazed by the speed of the Nehalem machines compared with that of the PPC G5, although the G5 is still a very capable machine. I believe the later (ie current) MacPros differ only in the CPU (OWC offer upgrades to the CPU board, if that's your thing), and many sources show a degree of improvement over the Nehalem, but I think in practical terms, increasing the RAM on a 2009 machine will leave you with something which is not that far removed from the current offering. Assuming you're getting a good deal pricewise, go for the 2009 MacPro.

2009 MacPro + Blu-Ray
Hi All, Asking here as there seems to be very little activity on the MacPro list, and I stay on this list for my G5 Dual 2,.0. I also have an 2009 Mac Pro (bought in April 2010), and I would like to add an optical drive with Lightscribe into the lower optical bay which is currently empty. I've been considering a Blu-Ray writer, and have bought the Blu-Ray module to expand my Toast 10 Titanium. Some Pioneer Blu-Ray models seem to give trouble with Macs, and OWC are offering LG models, but here in the UK I can get the LiteOn IHBS212-32 12x BDRW at a very good price. Does anyone on the list know in the LiteOn is fairly happy with Macs? And although it's not a primary consideration, is there any software yet that will enable playback of commercial Blu-Ray films on a Mac (I have an NEC 23 EA231WMi monitor, 1080p resolution)?

This machine was purchased by me during the fall of 1997. There were on the order of 20 system extensions that loaded during the start-up process.. The machine has some old files on it which are valuable to me -- both for my consulting work and also personal data. Recently I had the G3 keyboard go bad with the symptom that the Mac froze after the extensions started to load. Currently I have replaced the keyboard and have gotten the machine to boot while holding the shift key down (disabling the extensions). Since I have not changed the extensions for a long time, I suspect that I corrupted one of the extensions. My question is what do i do next to return this machine to a usable state? I am writing this on a Windows Vista machine. Thanks. Paul Cefola Well Paul, the first think to do is to make backup copies of those valuable files. Then, just to be sure, and to satisfy any feelings of paranoiac tendencies, make another backup. Put the backups somewhere very safe!!! Now, IIRC from my pre-OSX days, the way of identifying rogue extensions was to start up with shift held down, as you did, and look in the system folder for a folder called 'Extensions (Disabled)' or something very similar. Drag that to the desktop, rename it to 'Suspect Extensions' and then start up as normal. The system will automatically recreate an empty folder in the System folder called 'Extensions (Disabled)'. Adding the extensions in the 'Suspect Extensions' back one by one (just drop them onto the System folder;- the OS will recognise them as Extensions offer to put them in the 'Extensions' folder) and restarting each time will generally show which one is causing the grief. This is tedious, but you can instead add half the suspect extensions - if it freezes, you can be fairly sure the villain is in that half. Restart with shift again, and just the ones you've added should then be in the 'Extensions (Disabled)' folder. Doing it in 'halves' can be misleading in the rare possibility you've got more than one extension gone bad. Also be aware that OS8 OS9 treat fonts as system extensions, and a corrupt font can a) give all sorts of nasty problems, and b) be the devil's own job to track down. Keep us informed ask again if there's anything you're not sure of.

I would start to wonder if there wasn't an audio issue You can try reseting the pram and listing for additional chimes and see if you here them.. I would suspect that if the original startup chime isn't heard, neither will be the ones for the pram reset... But the screen should turn off and on as you hold it down and it cycles through each reset. Do you have the system CD/DVD you could try to boot off of?? Gus. Resetting PRAM is a good idea. The chime will have been muted IF the last owner/user set the Mac's sound volume to mute. This also silences the system chime. Resetting PRAM will turn volume setting back to default, then if there's still no chime, the cause lies elsewhere.

Re: EDIT: A good and cheap video card
Stewie de Young wrote: The Radeon 9800 series are about the best value for money. The nvidias are faster ( 6800 and 7800s ) but also quite a bit more expensive too. I have a MDD with a flashed 9800XT - 256mb and while a hot running card , it is a good performer. If you go this route , remove the original fan that came on these 9800s and boost it up to something better. These cards burn out a lot as the original fans were quite poor and prone to failure leading to the videocards being fried. Stewie Absolutely right:- I had a 9800 in my heavily upgraded Sawtooth (SATA Card, OWC 1.5gig CPU etc.,) and it ran VERY hot, with the card packing up after some 7 or 8 weeks. ATI (or rather, AMD) replaced it eventually, but with a 128 MB model, not a 256MB as I returned, but with all the hassle of to-ing and fro-ing the card between the UK Canada, I didn't bother to argue with them. Picked up my current G5 dual 2.0 a few weeks later at a good price - which I've done nothing to, other than fit the SATA card, with an eSATA backplane, and max the RAM to 4GB.

Odd message is System Log
Hi All,
On my G5 Early 2005 Dual 2.0, 4GB RAM, 10.5.8, an odd message has
recently appeared in the System Log (after Startup) , viewed through
Console.
Message is repeated many times (between 6 and 20+ ish) and reads:-
Mar 21 16:29:37 TedsG5 kernel[0]: { 41 910440}
UniNEnet::restartReceiver
Is this indicative of a problem I should be solving?
Thanks
Ted

Just repeated in one block, or over and over at later times? Were
there any network outtages at the time? Sleep/wake cycles?
Try reseating your ethernet cables.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for responding.
The message is repeated constantly - timed intervals vary between 40
seconds and sometimes as much as 10 mins.
No network problems (1 Mac connected to ethernet router for ADSL)
No sleep/wake cycles.
Have reseated all cables - and even tried others.
I'm stumped. It doesn't appear to cause any other problems except for
v. large log files, which Onyx deals with...

Re: Why are you (still) using PowerPC-based Macs?
Sorry, I came late to this thread. Original question - Why are you (still) using PowerPC-based Macs? Multiple answer(s): 1) Wife won't let me buy a Mac Pro - she thinks things like housing, food etc are a priority. 2) Even if wife were in agreement with idea, bank manager wouldn't be. 3) Using Office2008 (of necessity) and Adobe CS3 under Leopard, it works as well as it ever did. Sure, the Mac Pro would be faster, but that doesn't mean my dual 2.0 G5 has suddenly slowed down overnight. Unnecessary expenditure of £2,000+ would not be a great idea right now, and any extra speed is not a viable return on my spending cash I don't quite have. To enable my working from home when my employers upgrade to CS5 on its anticipated release later this year, I might have to rethink. (Before I get flamed, Adobe permit activation on two machines if not used simultaneously, and I'm never in the office AND at home at the same time). If this situation DOES arise, as it's in my employer's interests for me to have a working from home capability, I shall see what I can do to make them assist in the upgrade. (I'm 2.5hrs from work, so an extra trip in at weekends is not lightly undertaken). Until that happens, why would I need to upgrade?

I've been having a problem with my G5 Quad that I hope I can get some insight on. It's running 10.5.8, though this problem has been consistent across OS versions. When I restart the G5, it reboots fine, but there is no video. If I use screen sharing to log in from another computer, I can see that it booted fine, but it won't send video to the DVI port on the video card. This behavior is exhibited with several DVI displays (I've tried 3), including an APple 23 Cinema display. I've also tried 2 video cards, the original PCIe 6600, as well as a flashed Radeon X1900. If I tell it to shut down, and then start it up, it works fine. When logged in remotely check System Preferences / Display and see what video mode it's trying to display in (width x heighth and vert sync speed). It's possible it is not one the monitor can display. Try changing it to something you know the monitor can handle. Also check your PRAM battery, it may be dead or dying. Clark is (as usual) correct. I would add that on many Macs (from the LC series through to G3 and G4 series) I've seen this behaviour shown when the PRAM battery is dead - most recently on our old G4 QS at work. Our IT guys (all Windows people) told the user it had a dead MoBo! I bought in a new 3.6v halfAA and bingo:- a fully functioning QS.

Re: Photo printing problem ?

MiniG4 Tiger 10.4.11 Epson Artisan50 Adobe InDesign CS2 I recently purchased an Artisan50 Epson color printer, Designed some holiday cards in InDesign printed and the photos have vertical lines. The Epson tech supporter offered patient guidance leading me through some checks and finally to print from Preview no lines there, which points to a glitch in the Adobe software. While I can work-around, I'm wondering if others have had such problems? If experience of others confirms that updated Adobe products are more widely compatible? If others might recommend an equivalent alternative ti InDesign? Sorry to hear of your problems. Adobe InDesign CS2 may have some bugs, however, I have not have had any problems with the older InDesign CS on the professional level copier/printers I use in production. At the professional level the alternative is QuarkXpress. And unless you are a dedicated Quark user most folks I know think InDesign is the best option for the present. At the office level there is MS Publisher which I think is a horror for print shops that have to deal with those files. And there is no Mac version and no way AFAIK to use a Publisher file on a Mac. MS really developed that one as anti-Mac, anti-Adobe and ant-Quark. At the level of doing personal stuff like greeting cards there may be other less expensive options. I would like to know as well. Another work around may be to simpley export the .Indd file to .pdf. If the bug is in the Epson driver (which it may be) this may solve the problem. Good luck --glen I would confirm the extport to pdf route is the best: I believe InDesign (and Quark Xpress) are at best unhappy, and at worst downright unco-operative when you print to a non-postsript device.

Tom's Hardware - 2009-08-19 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hard-drive-upgrade,2377.html The article compares the performance of an older and a newer Samsung drive. The new one is a 1TB Samsung F2 which I expect is equivalent to the 5400RPM F2 you're looking at. Here's an excerpt: The F2 EcoGreen drives comes with 32 MB cache memory, which is four times more than the SP2004C. But itthe F2 spins at only 5,400 RPM. This isn’t a reason to be scared in the performance area, though, as this drive still delivers 107 MB/s and hence provides almost twice the throughput of the 3-4 year old P120 drive. Clearly ~100 MB/s ain't too shabby. It still won't be limited by your 1.5Gbps theoretical max SATA bandwidth (~185 MB/s??). Other aspects of your system ... like your CPU performance and max memory transfer rate ... will probably hold it back more. While you might possibly get a bit better performance by going with a 7200 RPM drive, I don't think with your system you'd really see a noticeable performance improvement from the extra rotational speed. You might also take a look at the site http://diskcompare.com. The site appears to be pretty an indirect way for newegg.com to try to sell more hard drives. But if you keep that bias in mind, it can still be a useful way to locate recent hard drive reviews from the various hardware sites on the Internet. -irrational john John, Thanks for your help. Whilst I'm pretty au fait with the workings of my G5, (my previous Sawtooth G3Beige before that were heavily modded rebuilt), my main concern was whether in real world computing, the difference in performance between 7200rpm and 5400rpm SATA2 drives would be sufficient to justify the additional cost, when they would be on a SATA1 controller. Your (very rational) assistance helped me weigh up pros cons effectively. Since my major desire is simply capacity, I'll go for the 5400rpm drives, and add the difference to my piggy-bank, saving for an Intel Mac tower, subject to approval from a) Bank Manager and b) more importantly, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.

New Disks in G5
Hi All, I have an early 2005 G5 dual 2.0, maxed out at 4GB RAM. I want to put some huge drives in it, and am looking at Samsung F3 1TB 7200rpm drives. There are places (in the UK) where I can get the Samsung F2 1.5TB drive for not a lot more, although it's only a 5400rpm drive. I'd be grateful if someone with greater techie knowledge than me could advise me on whether the fact that my G5 is SATA1 so 150Mbs as opposed to300Mbs SATA2 is going to mean the 1.5TB will not be noticeably slower in use. I currently have two Seagate ST3320620AS 320GB 7200rpm drives in there, and they are perfectly fast enough for my use, although they're getting a little full now.

It is the main reason I stay with Firefox, instead of spending time with Safari or Chrome. When you install it, scripts from almost all domains are turned off by default.

When you visit a page where something does not seem to work the way you think it should, you can turn on scripts for one domain at a time. I have seen some web pages containing scripts from 10 or more domains. Right click on the new icon at the bottom of your Firefox window that has a blue S. You can see the domains that the web page is trying to run scripts from. I recommend you select Temporarily allow x for only the smallest number of domains that you need to accomplish your task. If you are regularly visiting a page and allowing its scripts to run, only then select Allow x. I rarely run any scripts, and I am very picky about which ones I do run.
