G5 Power Supply

2011-12-29 Thread Adrian Skehan
Good afternoon all,

I am in need of a iMac G5 Power Supply, late 2004-early 2005 model.  I believe 
they are no longer available from Apple.  If anyone has one or knows where I 
could obtain one please let me know.




Regards,


Adrian

Re: Is this Console Message a runaway process?

2011-12-29 Thread Brian Scott
Thank you Ronda.

I have OS 10.5.8 on a 24 iMac 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo. 4 GB.

Getting rid of that pesky .plist file stopped that non-stop message.

It has allowed me to focus on some other errors on restart.

I've managed clean up some problems but there are more I'm not sure  
what to do about.

For example from the list below is it safe for me to try getting rid  
of /Library/ScriptingAdditions/24U Appearance OSAX.osax

And can you suggest what else I should do to clean up the restart.

This is from the Console Messages starting with the restart..

Re: Is this Console Message a runaway process?

2011-12-29 Thread Ronda Brown
Hi Brian,

From your Console messages I imagine you are experiencing slow Startups?
Are you experiencing any freezes? 
Any other problems?
Are you running any third party utilities or anything that could be changing 
caches?

When was the last time you Repaired your Hard Disk and Repaired Permissions?

The first thing I would suggest is to boot from a Leopard Installation Disc and 
“Repair the Disk”  “Repair Permissions”

A). Repair Disk.

1.  Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then 
restart the computer while holding the C key.

2.  When your computer finishes starting up from the disc,  select your 
language first, then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (at the top of 
your screen).
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you 
do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.

3.  Click the First Aid tab.

4.  Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display 
the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.

5.  Select your Mac OS X volume (sub-entry below the drive entry).

6.  Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

NOTE: If Disk Utility reports any errors have been fixed, then re-run Repair 
Disk until no errors are reported.

B)  Then click on Repair Permissions.

C).Then Download the Combo Update from here: 
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
and install

D)  Repair Permissions again, this time from Applications  Utilities  Disk 
Utility.

E) Run Software Update and install any updates.

Avoid performing any other processes while the Mac OS X 10.5.8 update is taking 
place.

I’m knocking off from WAMUG support for today. I did only intend to answer one 
or two WAMUG problems today.
I’m still ‘trying’ to have a break ;-(

Cheers,
Ronni

 Hi Bill,
 
 The control panel includes various lights and an LCD panel to indicate the
 status of the printer:
 
 When your ink is low or expended, or paper runs out, or a problem occurs, a
 message appears on the LCD, and the lights on the control panel come on or
 flash. 
 
 What is the error message?
 Or what lights are flashing?

 Hi Ronnie,
 The two orange lights next to the  on/off button are flashing,I think one is
 the ink and other paper lights.
 There is a message Service call error  150c
 Please contact to the repair center
 
 I have tried disconnecting the power and the computer connection,
 Cheers,

 Hi Bill,
 
 You are correct, the light nearest the Power Button is ŒPaper Light¹ the other
 is ŒInk Light¹.
 Check you have paper in the Printer. Check you don¹t have a paper jam?
 
 The Message ³Service Call Error 150c Please Contact The Repair Center²² can
 mean the Print Head is Locked.
 Remove all protective materials from the print head to release it.
 
 Or it can mean a fatal error has occurred.
 Turn the Printer Off, leave it for awhile, then turn it on again.
 
 If the message appears again, note the Code and Contact Epson.

The graphics capabilities common to all of the components of the iWork suite 
are more than just a step up from MacDraw, and will probably do most of what 
you want. If you want a more capable dedicated drawing application, you could 
do worse than consider Cenon 
(http://www.cenon.info/frameLoad_gb.html?support_faq_gb.html). This free German 
offering is well documented and powerful, and goes well beyond MacDraw in what 
it can do. 

For a Photoshop substitute, Acorn and Pixelmator are probably offering the best 
value for money at the moment, but it really depends on what you need this 
stuff to do for you.

Re: Is this Console Message a runaway process?

2011-12-29 Thread Ronda Brown
Hi Brian,

I’ve been looking through your Console messages more thoroughly this morning, 
it’s a bit of a mess.
Are you running any third party utilities or anything that might modify the 
caches?
I ask because your bootup caches appear to have been modified...

 29/12/11 4:30:32 PM com.apple.launchctl.System[2] BootCacheControl:  
 could not open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: No such file or directory

Are you running the latest version of YASU? I personally don’t use these sorts 
of apps. 
Many are more problematical than the problems they profess to solve.
It is not necessary to clear the cache on any regular basis. In fact, your 
cache may be corrupted.
Clearing the cache makes the next boot take a long time as the system restored 
the cache.

 /Library/ScriptingAdditions/24U Appearance OSAX.osax/Contents/MacOS/ 
 24U Appearance OSAX: mach-o, but wrong architecture

This error message is telling you that the found scripting extension (osax) 
is the wrong architecture. 
This means that the Appearance OSAX.osax file was found, but it just contains 
code for the PPC Mac architecture  not code for the Intel architecture your 
Mac was looking for. (in other words it is not a Universal or Intel binary.)

If you do not need to use 24U Appearance OSAX uninstall it. If you need to use 
it … uninstall the version you have and download and install a Universal or 
Binary version.
It might have been installed when you installed perhaps ‘TrashIt’ or something 
similar.
You can find the 24U OSAX either your /Library/ScriptingAdditions/ folder or 
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/, depending on what you select (All Users or 
Current User, respectively).
If you remove it (/Library/ScriptingAdditions/24U Appearance OSAX.osax) the 
message should go away.

Other applications put their versions of an OSAX in there also, so you might 
want to clean house. 
Just be careful with what you remove as some apps won't work without them!

MenuCracker? 

I’m unsure what to suggest you do now, some might suggest a ‘clean install’ of 
Leopard.
Clean up your Leopard System, uninstall ‘extras’ / addons / extensions you are 
not using or are not up to date.
'Repair Disk'  'Repair Permissions' (following the instructions in my previous 
email) and let’s see if there is any improvement.

Cheers,
Ronni

 It is not necessary to clear the cache on any regular basis. In

 Clearing the cache makes the next boot take a long time as the  
 system restored the cache.

 /Library/ScriptingAdditions/24U Appearance OSAX.osax/Contents/MacOS/
 24U Appearance OSAX: mach-o, but wrong architecture

 This error message is telling you that the found scripting extension  
 (osax) is the wrong architecture.
 This means that the Appearance OSAX.osax file was found, but it  
 just contains code for the PPC Mac architecture  not code for the  
 Intel architecture your Mac was looking for. (in other words it is  
 not a Universal or Intel binary.)

 If you do not need to use 24U Appearance OSAX uninstall it. If you  
 need to use it … uninstall the version you have and download and  
 install a Universal or Binary version.
 It might have been installed when you installed perhaps ‘TrashIt’ or  
 something similar.
 You can find the 24U OSAX either your /Library/ScriptingAdditions/  
 folder or ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/, depending on what you  
 select (All Users or Current User, respectively).
 If you remove it (/Library/ScriptingAdditions/24U Appearance  
 OSAX.osax) the message should go away.

 Other applications put their versions of an OSAX in there also, so  
 you might want to clean house.
 Just be careful with what you remove as some apps won't work without  
 them!

 When was the last time you Repaired your Hard Disk and Repaired

 The first thing I would suggest is to boot from a Leopard  
 Installation Disc and “Repair the Disk”  “Repair Permissions”

 A). Repair Disk.

 1.  Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation  
 disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.

 2.  When your computer finishes starting up from the disc,  select  
 your language first, then select Disk Utility from the Installer  
 menu (at the top of your screen).
 Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the  
 Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to  
 access Disk Utility.

 3.  Click the First Aid tab.

 4.  Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive  
 icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.

 5.  Select your Mac OS X volume (sub-entry below the drive entry).

 6.  Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.

 NOTE: If Disk Utility reports any errors have been fixed, then re- 
 run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.

 B)  Then click on Repair Permissions.

 C).Then Download the Combo Update from here:
 

Re: MacBook Pro water damage!!!

2011-12-29 Thread Stuart Evans
Hi Laura,

Late in but my two bob's worth. We get laptops in with all sorts of liquid
in them. Once, we got Two in one day with beer in them! No-one seems to know
how it gets in. Maybe MacBook Pro's just get thirsty???

Anyway, if it is just water, you may get lucky with it drying out over a
couple of days. I don't think rice or other is going to help unless you want
to take the MBP apart to get to the motherboard. We've had some luck with
all sorts of things not working after motherboard liquidisation (ie USB
ports, drives) and we've cleaned it up with our secret tools and sauces and
it has worked. The all important issue is going to be whether a circuit on
the board shorted when it got wet. If it did, then it is a board
replacement.

I'd suggest look up the Apple service centres and then calling them to see
who will give you the cheapest quote (ie If you don't go ahead with the
repair what is the worst cost - could be anywhere from $50-$150). I can't
help you as we're in Albany (unless you're visiting). I know who I wouldn't
go to up there but I can't say that here! I do believe that Mike and crew at
MacWorx are good and I have had one of his techs work for me once. Winthrop
aren't too bad either but I think they have an expensive quote fee.

Check on your home and contents insurance. It's amazing how many of them do
include laptop replacement/repair.

Good luck!

Mac misbehaving

2011-12-29 Thread Pat
My intel Mac Pro is starting to have a problem, which I fear is a serious one.  
It is 3 years and 9 months old, so out of warranty, out of AppleCare.

About a week ago, about 10 minutes after starting up in the morning, it 
suddenly crashed and then restarted itself immediately.  I thought it was just 
a glitch in our electricity supply - that happens quite a lot here.  The next 
day, it happened again and several times since.  By now I was thinking it was 
the Mac's problem.  This morning, I thought it wasn't going to start at all - 
it made about a dozen attempts before it finally settled down.

I have always turned it off at night, mainly because of the electricity 
glitches, but I will leave it on tonight.

I'm just guessing, but that kind of behaviour seems like it might be some 
connection that warms up on starting, but is beginning to fail.  I bought this 
machine from Macworx, so I will probably approach them about a repair, and am 
fully backed up.  

I would just like to get an idea about what might be happening, and if it might 
or might not be repairable - I will appreciate your thoughts about it.

A safe and happy New Year to you all!

Pat

Oh, Brian,

There's a bug in Transmission (the torrent program) that causes Macs to slowly 
crash and die. 
But it's really sneaky because it doesn't appear to be caused by Transmission, 
even though it actually is.

What happens is your net connection stops working and you stop being able to 
switch open programs and/or you can't quit applications and you can't restart 
you computer without resorting to holding down the power button until it 
restarts, or other similar nuclear problems.

To possibly help those who do have the knowledge to determine what
could be wrong, can you please advise the following:

- Have you tried restarting your Mac on the install DVD, and if so
does the problem persists?
- Have you run Disk Utility and do the usual: Repair Disk, Repair Disk
Permissions?
- Any sign of the hard drive starting to fail, eg the question mark on
starting?
- Booted the Mac on your clone drive, if that's what you do as back-up?

As you say it may be an electrical component like a capacitor which is
failing, but best check other possibilities before taking the Mac to
the doctor. Your answers may help our in-house experts give you an
indication of what may be wrong. Sorry I cannot help, my knowledge is
quite basic.

Good luck  Happy New Year to all

Philippe

 My intel Mac Pro is starting to have a problem, which I fear is a serious 
 one.  It is 3 years and 9 months old, so out of warranty, out of AppleCare.

 About a week ago, about 10 minutes after starting up in the morning, it 
 suddenly crashed and then restarted itself immediately.  I thought it was 
 just a glitch in our electricity supply - that happens quite a lot here.  The 
 next day, it happened again and several times since.  By now I was thinking 
 it was the Mac's problem.  This morning, I thought it wasn't going to start 
 at all - it made about a dozen attempts before it finally settled down.

 I have always turned it off at night, mainly because of the electricity 
 glitches, but I will leave it on tonight.

 I'm just guessing, but that kind of behaviour seems like it might be some 
 connection that warms up on starting, but is beginning to fail.  I bought 
 this machine from Macworx, so I will probably approach them about a repair, 
 and am fully backed up.

 I would just like to get an idea about what might be happening, and if it 
 might or might not be repairable - I will appreciate your thoughts about it.

 A safe and happy New Year to you all!

 Pat

Hi Pat,

This is quite common with the Mac Pro. It could be one of numerous things 
causing the problem.
First thing you could do is try Reset SMC:

To reset the SMC on a Mac Pro:
1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, 
hold the power button until it turns off).
2.  Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any 
display cables.
3.  Wait at least fifteen seconds.
4.  Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being 
pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
5.  Press the power button to start up your computer.

iphone 4s bluetooth

2011-12-29 Thread Chris Burton
Afternoon all

I dont seem to be able to get my new iphone 4s to pair with my Blueant 
Supertooth 3 hands free set (which worked well in my car with my previous 
telstra T90).

I have turned the iPhone Bluetooth on, and it shows the BlueAnt device, but 
when I click on it, it shows a msg saying unable to Pair?

Can anyone advise if I have missed something here, either on the phone or 
Blueant? I usually have to enter a numeric code so the other device can see it, 
but I have not seen a request to do this?

Thanks for any help

Chris
