Re: Kernel Panics - G5 Tower
Posted by: "Jurgen Richter" yahoo-1@sympatico.ca epsongroups

Hi all
Went through that last year myself - G5 Quad tower - getting panics
daily and randomly, so no open file or work was safe until saved every
few minutes.
I also ran istat menu to monitor temperatures too - most of them ran
between 45-55 C, sometimes the fans would cycle quite high (relatively) too.
My current Mac Pro runs at 33 C by comparison with fan speeds 600-1200
RPM. I can't actually hear the unit.
Back to the fix...
In a nutshell, clean out the dust as best as you can and reinstall
Leopard from your original disks, update to latest PPC version and reboot.
More details:
I took the box apart, vacuumed all the fans, all the circuit boards
(while being grounded with a ground strap) with a soft brush attachment,
reset the PMU. And yes, there was a bit of dust. That would account for
the higher than normal temps and RPMs on the fans, and it did fix those,
though I don't recall the exact numbers at this point. I also re-seated
the RAM chips and other removable daughter boards. I also checked for
coolant leaks, a G5-Quad widespread problem, which could have shorted
something out. I found no evidence of any leakage.
The kernel panics always seemed to hit CPU 3, based on the "report"
(Note that this is not number 3, as the first one was actually numbered
CPU 0).
I was still getting kernel panics after the mechanical cleanup, though
not as frequently.
Following that I cloned the hard drive to an external, de-activated
various software installs, such as Adobe Creative Suite, iTunes, etc.,
and erased the hard drive, and reinstalled Leopard, and did the combo
updates to the last one for PPC.
This was in preparation for selling the unit, so I wanted to have a
clean platform to start.
Well, I still have the unit, and it had been running fine without kernel
panics for weeks, until I got everything off the cloned drive onto my
new computer.
It's been shut down since last August... but will be fired up again to
replace the old G4 MDD.

You're assuming they don't realize when they are making inferior drives. ;)
In fairness to the drive manufacturers, whenever you redesign, you risk new problems, even when the technology is a "commodity." Consider battery recalls for instance. You can reduce that risk, but never eliminate it. We all make mistakes.
As to my description of external drives as a "commodity." External hard drives are built from three mature components: the drive, the controller card, the power supply. For this conversation, I think we can skip the case design even though this is not inconsequential.
For all the English majors our there, yes, I admit that am using "commodity" loosely (at best). Coal is a commodity. Electronics are not.
Cheers,

For all my theoretical babble...
I am, in fact, NOT a fan of WD branded drives at the moment. Current WD external designs are cheap and clumsy and the 1st year failure rate of the internals I purchased when Seagate had design problems was too high. I have not purchased WD drives in months.

I agree. A WD MyBook is the only HD drive and case I ever used a 16 lb sledgehammer on to reduce it to dust.
Seagate and WD are on an intense drive to dominate big box retail sales at places like Costco, Sams Club,etc.
They compete on price by reducing quality and features of the cases, their bridge chips, venting.

I'm not a fan of what either is doing in the retail space. Market competition makes manufacturers much up things that should be very simple. Both are incredibly guilty of this right now. My current favorite cheap drives are the Fantom drives, mostly because their designs are simple and direct. No BS.
By the way, all drives that are not bus powered should have toggle switches! You listening out there?

150% agreement on the toggle power switch.
The very badly designed and engineered touch sensitive type doesn't work half the time as well as falling into the hideous Japanese commercial product design insanity that a tiny black button on a black background somehow represents quality.
BTW, in my residential group of common-wall 7 town homes. Five of the seven houses are Mac users. Four bought Seagate FreeAgent drives. All 4 failed.

One thing I can say with confidence about drive failures... They fail in batches! It's the irony of drive warranties. The drive that failed will be replaced by a drive that has just been proven more likely to fail.

Re: Default e-mail app

What I find frustrating is that I've never tried Mail on this computer
because the app won't do what I need. My husband uses it on his iMac. I have
NEVER set up Mail, and Eudora has always worked flawlessly from the day it
was installed. Now I am trying to go through Mail to access PREFS, disable
Mail and select Outlook, however Mail is making me set up the entire app as
tho it will be utilized. Mail is NOT accepting the information I'm
inserting, though Eudora and Outlook both accepted the SMTP, user name, PW
and authentication. Mail keeps insisting that my user name and PW are
incorrect. I don't really care because it says if I click "continue", Mail
will manually set things up, but won't be able to retrieve mail. I just want
to get to a point that I can access Mail's Prefs, but the set up won't go
beyond this error message. If someone else advised me they were receiving
the error, I would, of course, think they are mistyping. I'm not happy with
Mail at all right now. VBS

OK, after I had my temper tantrum, I went back to Mail's open window and
clicked CONTINUE one more time. No changes were made in the field entries.
Just clicked on the CONTINUE button, and it continued. SIGH. So thanks, Dan,

iPhone 4S Caller ID
Posted by: "Roger Harris" skunktown@gmail.com robo_booger
Thu Feb 9, 2012 7:54 am (PST)
Any idea why the display of the caller might simply read the phone number - as opposed to the name? This happens from time to time, but not always. And yes, the caller is in my contacts list with name.
for example I get a call from "old-what's-her-name" and it just displays her number.
TIA, Roger

The most likely explanation is that the data shown is controlled by the caller, who chooses to display only the number.

All cell phones only receive number for incoming calls but it gets matched
to contacts to display name.
I would say that you likely have two or more contacts with the same number
and one doesn't have a name and it is the first one that gets matched.

Address Book and Contacts formatting
Posted by: "Roger Harris" skunktown@gmail.com robo_booger
Thu Feb 9, 2012 7:56 am (PST)
Is there a way to retroactively format the way a phone number is displayed in these two apps?
Reason I ask is that I have numerous contacts whose numbers read like this: xxxxxxxxxx, as opposed to this: (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
Can I get the app to fix that for me, or do I have to do it manually?
TIA, Roger

Hi Roger,
In Address Book, go to Preferences:Phone, then click on automatically format phone numbers. Select the format you want or define your own. Close the preference pane, select a different contact and it should change.

Well, what I do is:
1. Open AddressBook
2. Click on an entry in the left-hand pane
3. Press the delete key
4. Confirm delete

Smells like a run-up to a big announcement. In
Internet Bubble v.1, the same thing happened with
Qualcomm stock. Although it never hit it, the
rumors were targeting it at $1000 a share. the
stock skyrocketed and then nose-dived.
This behavior is typical for "wonder stocks" and
historically hasn't ended well. In this case, I
suspect that in addition to/lacking in an
announcement, there's a feeling that "Apple can
do it without Steve Jobs." A sigh of relief that
may be premature, since the first true
quarter-without-Steve won't occur until some time
next year.

Re: FaceTime and iChat connection problems

Howdy.
Here's a how to article on how to set up iChat AV for
controlling/helping with someone else's Mac remotely.
It's a step by step set of instructions.
<http://www.ehow.com/how_5080620_ >use-ichat- control-remote- mac.html
I think you might not have enabled video sharing (Video menu in iChat).
You didn't mention what type of chat account you used for iChat on your
Mom's Mac and on your Mac. Was it AOL IM? It might help if they are
the same on both and since AOL IM is free it isn't a money burden for
anybody.
Good luck.
Write back to the group and report any progress!
