Desktops :: One Or Two Processors?
Sep 23, 2008I recently acquired a used G5. When I look at "about this mac", it tells me that I have a two processor, 2ghz machine but when I open the case I only see one G5 icon. The serial number is from late 2005. I just wanted to make sure that I have two processors as I'm planning on selling/trading up to a mac pro.

Oct 31, 2009Something bad going on here. Dead hard drive(?)
Current status is...Cannot turn on, screen is dark. Blue light on power button stays on. Can't restart after holding it down...Red light inside box is on. Read that it might be air deflector trouble, but that's not it. Opened box removed plastic and returned it...another red light lit , then turned off. 1st red light stays on.
Before the above began, a restart would end up in a hang at the end of the progress bar. Ran Disk Util from Install CD which showed errors: "Volume Chk failed...HFS Volume needs repair". Ran FSCK whick said it fixed all. Ran Disk Warrior afterward b/c still would hang at startup. Says all now OK...but NOT! Have tried saving files thru Disk Warrior...but now, as per above, cannot get it to start up. Or turn off...
Would like to get it lit to save any additional files if drive is near the end...

View 2 Replies View RelatedDesktops :: How To Partition An Internal HD
Jan 2, 2010I have a new iMac 27" w OSX.6.2, 2.66ghz intel cor 15, w 4 gb RAM and a 1 tb internal HD. I have final cut xpress3.5, live type and sound track loaded onto it, besides the stuff that came with the package.
I have five separate external hard drives. Two of them are hot swap 800 enclosures for which I have 5 hot swap trays. I have about 3 tb external storage all together.
Is there any reason to partition the internal HD? I could get 4 250 gb partitions; or any other configuration. I have never done an HD partition, so I need some guidance about how to do it, if it is a good thing.
My thought is to use an external HD for scratch disc, and use one of the partions for "Time Machine" back ups. I realize that this is sort of silly, since it is still the same internal HD that is doing all of the heavy lifting for program operation. But this thing comes with 1 tb of HD space for some reason. I wonder why, if not to store something besides programs and audio render files.
I read that any 400speed external HD in a system will slow all of the faster drives. So my thought is to use only the hot swap 800 enclosures and hot swap drives with the new iMac, and leave the older 400 speed drives plugged into my iMac G5.
I could put the time machine back ups on one of the hot swap drives, but it would have to be plugged into the new iMac all of the time and I would lose the ability to drag (QT) files from that drive, to the other hot swap drive, or into the browser of FCX.
Could I set time machine to back up only on order? Then I could still use the hot swap enclosure with any one of the hot swappable drives, and use another external drive as a scratch disc and have them daisy chained into the iMac. I could back up at the end of every work session.
Desktops :: How Do You Connect Older G4 To LCD TV
Jan 19, 2010I'm trying to connect an older G4 computer tower (400mhz) to an LCD TV (Vizio 20"). The computer has a ATI rage 128 video card. I have a VGA-to-VGA cable that connects the computer to the RGB connection on the TV. However, I'm not getting a signal. Are any additional steps, hardware, cabling, etc. needed here? Not very familiar with tech details. I've searched web. I have access to an 'ATI rage 128Pro' card that seems to have a DVI connection in addition to the VGA port. Would this work better?

Jan 20, 2010I'm new here, but not new to the Mac world. I own an intel iMac and while I was attempting to restart it on Sunday night it went into a gray screen with the box asking me to shut and restart in several languages. I did and still get stuck on that page. I did a PRAM reset and that didn't work. So I used my start up disk to get to the disk utility and my HD is fine so I used an external drive to install the OS on it and reboot from and reinstalled from TimeMachine (only problem is the last time I backed up was 5 months ago)Again I checked my internal drive and everything seems okay, but I cannot reboot from it. BTW, I've OS 10.6.2,

Dec 30, 2008I currently have a 17 inch Sylvania (Tan) and I've been saving up for a 30 inch ACD for 12 months now and I manage to put away $3,000, I know that's more then enough to purchase the current 30 inch ACD but my question to you guys is should I wait until Apple release the rest of LED Cinema Displays 20-30 Inch Displays for the desktops, I kinda like the new ones and hope it will come out at MacWorld 2009, do you guys think the rest of the LED ACD will come out at MacWorld 2009 and do you think it's worth waiting for? I'm not in a rush to purchase LED ACD because if Apple doesn't come out with adapters for mini display port then I might have to buy a new video card that supports mini display-port in order to work on my Mac Pro.

There is no "X" sign to shut them down and as far as I can tell the only thing that works is if I either shut down my computer or quite google chrome which isn't too convenient.Is there another way to 1. prevent these 'black' desktops from apearing and 2. to get rid of them without shuting down the computer or quiting chrome everytime ?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Possible To Assign An App To Several Desktops?
May 21, 2012I'm referring to the desktops you can add in mission control. In the dock, when you click on an app and hold it (or right-click) you can go to options and then assign on which desktop this particular app should open. You can choose on all desktops (which will make the app follow you, no matter to which desktop you are switch), you can choose on the desktop you are now on and you can choose none.But how do you choose several desktops? Is that even possible? Because I don't think so.I am using the Logic arrange window and would like to have the Mixer on a different desktop.

My computer is 4.5 years old. And every winter for the past 3 years it's had troubles starting up in the cold mornings. Gradually getting worse each winter.
Today wasn't too bad.. it started up on the 2nd try. But on a particularly frosty day it might take 3 goes.
It freezes anywhere between the grey screen to the loading wheel to the desktops appearance.
Sometimes it freezes and gives the message to switch it off by the power button.
On occasion it freezes and shows me this: [URL]
