Best way to update and expand RAM on old Power Mac G5?

I own a Power Mac G5 and am currently transferring all my files and music over. I have already run out of start up disk space after only transferring 1000 tracks and a few files. I'm sure this can't be right, but even so I would like to expand my memory and update to the latest versions of OSX but I have no idea if this is possible with such an old machine or even cost efficient. I would like something that I can do design work on as well as storing around 50,000 song tracks. Help!

What is the best way to find and remove unneeded language files from Mac OS X 10.8.4?

I have tried Spring Cleaning and it finds the files and then quits!

You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve used it since Tiger w/never any problems. Just make sure you read all of the instructions.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).
Works on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

Best way to sync and view other videos formats

hi all,

any help greatly received
main reason for the ipad is to create a central hub for viewing pics and videos on and streaming to tv in background when we have parties or just remenicising

Unfortunately, the playback of non-iOS-native video formats (everything except mov / mp4 / m4v) is horrible through Apple TV and it, because of the inherent speed restrictions of Wi-Fi, can't be helped other than:
- pre-converting your video files to mov / mp4 / m4v before playing them. (THis is the best solution.) For this, you will want to use the absolutely best and fastest video converter, the free(!!!) HandBrake. Don't ever think of paying any money for any video converter - most other titles are way inferior to HandBrake. (See http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps for more info on this q.)
- using a VGA or HDMI adapter and connecting your TV directly to the iPad.
In the thread at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18697551?ac_cid=sa123456#18697551 , we've also discussed this problem (AirPlay vs. cabled playback)

2.1 Out and Best way to Update if you are a mobile me subscriber's

From My experience put your phone in to DFU mode and reset your phone back to new.
Remember this works for me and I recommend it if you use MOBILE ME.
Download the new Firmware and then follow the below
http://www.ifonenation.com/2008/07/24/how-to-put-your-iphone-into-dfu-mode/
once Itunes has installed the new firmware.
Then re-sync your data again, as if you just bought it.
If you use mobile me this is the best option for you as all your data is stored on apple servers and will update your phone from your mobile me account.
** you will loose the following... SMS and all call logs and your favorites some and all preference settings..
To eliminate any confilicts from apps etc this is the best way to go and give your iphone a fresh start.
I have always done this with the last updates and never had a problem with any conflicts, and performance issues.
Remember this is for mobile Me users as all you Contacts,Callender, and Mail is stored remotly.
Keep us posted on your 2.1 findings.
I have full 3g NOW! yay

The fastest way is to directly change the values in the catalog.pse9db database. The database is a SQL Lite database, so if you know (or know someone who knows) how to run SQL queries against a database, you're in luck because Adobe did an excellent job of designing a highly normalized database schema.
I highly recommend first trying this on a copy of your database. In general, the procedure goes like this:
Add one of your images on the P: drive into the catalog. This will establish a listing for the P: drive and its identification in the volume_table table.
Run a SQL query against the volume_table table to see a listing of all the rows.
Note the values of the "id" column for your "thehive" volume and the "P:" volume.
Run a SQL query against the media_table table to update the value of the volume_id column, replacing all instances of the "thehive" id number with the id number of your "P:" drive. The SQL query will look something like this:
Update media_table
set volume_id = "<your new value>"
where volume_id = "<your old value>"
I've tested this with PSE9.0.3 on Win7, changing the location from a CD on my E: drive to a USB stick on my F: drive.
Good Luck!

Best way to update a solaris jumpstart OS image.

Hi all,.
Ive been recently building some v240's but have run into trouble with the rather out of date 02/02 instance of Solaris 8 (yes, i did say solaris 8 - it's a political thing..)
Anyhow, I have cd images of Solaris 8 02/04 and have a copy of the Sun Blueprints Jumpstart book by "Howard and Noordergraph".
On page 92, it says to use the "setup_install_server" script with the -b option for /jumpstart/OS/Solaris-xx-xx-xx.
Ive done that without any probs, then it goes on to say if you want an install server do the same command again without the -b switch.
Problem is that it spews out this message.
733 root@bbs00080 # ./setup_install_server -b /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_02-2004/
Verifying target directory...
setup_install_server:
The target directory /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_02-2004/ is not empty. Please choose an empty
directory or remove all files from the specified directory and run
this program again.
So i chose an empty directory and it goes and does it.
Is this an errata?
I already have /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_02-2002/ and I wanted to update the files so that I can boot the v240r.
Except 02/02 doesnt let me do that as it doesnt support the v240r arch.
Sun told me this, but I'm lost because my existing profile for this box, lists all the packages I want to install, but it whinges about not being able to find a .cdrom toc file.
I already have three flash archives which i created from good builds from 02/02, in my rules file which work, but this pesky update for the 240r is getting to be a little tricky.
So far, ive tried copying all the packages from 02/02/Products directory into 02/04/Products but some of them don't install despite being there.
Can anyone suggest the best way to update my 02/02 with the 02/04 boot loader for the v240?
Thanks in advance and sorry for any confusion.

I'm sorry. I meant. Say my array of x positions is 3, 4, 9. I change 9 to 30. How can I make the polygon see that change?

Best way to update individual rows of a Table?

I've taken a look at some examples, though haven't gotten any clarification on this. I am looking to have something close to a listbox or table to where I can update just a single column of row values at a 1 time per second pace. I am looking to display our data-acquisition values in a table or listbox. The single listbox seemed to work good for this, but I was unable to use row headers to list the channel names next to the channel values. I was thinking about connecting the cursor values of two list-boxes to do this, but didn't find any info on this for the single list-box.
I have a few questions:
1) I have a 1D array to where I want to use that array of data to constantly update the first column (with a multitude of rows) of a table. I am looking for the best route so as not to take up too much processing time in doing this.
What is the best way to update individual rows of a table? Invoke Node "Set Cell Value" ... or is there another method?
2) Why is it that after every other iteration the row values are erased?
Also, for adding additional strings to the original arrray ... is it best to use the "Array Subset" and then the "Build Array" function, or the "Array Subset" and "Insert Into Array" function?
See the attached example.
Thanks.

Classic race condition. dump the for loop and p-node and just wire the 2D array to the table terminal.!
I'm not seeing the race condition. What I am seeing is the table emptying after the last element was written to it on every other run. I saw watched this with highlight execution on.
But I'm in full agreement with just writing to the terminal. It is a 1D array, so you will need to use a build array and transpose 2D array in order for it to write properly.

Best way to update audio files in library

I have quite a few audio files in the library for a Captivate project. I just modifed a bunch of them, and I am wondering the best way to update the library.
If I delete the files in the library, I lose all the links to which audio went with which slide.
If I go into each slide and replace the audio, that is more time consuming, and still a problem when the old audio file is still in the library
I don't see an option for directly replacing the audio in the library; if I put the new version (same name) it just adds it with a (2), i.e. audioclip and audioclip(2)
The update option does not give me what I need, unless I am missing something. First of all, I am using both a Windows computer at the client site, and my own Mac, so the paths are different. To use the update I would have to update the path for each audio file, which is more trouble that updating every file manually.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi there,
The recommended way is to go to that slide and import the slide audio again, new audio will replcae the old.
Once you have replaced all the audios, the audio files that are not in use in the project will still show up in Library.
You can get rid of all unused items from the library, by clicking on the icon for unused icon and then delete icon:
Thanks.

Best way to update drivers?????

I'd like to get advice on the best way to update my MB drivers.
If I update my NVIDIA nForce4 System Driver, does that update my AMD 64 4000+ CPU? or do I need to go to AMD's site and get that update??????
I'm new to this building PC's so please bear with me. Thanks==db

No, it does not update the drivers for your CPU, you have to go to the AMD site to get the drivers for the CPU, and also get the drivers from nVidia.
Be well....

Best way to update apps

Is the best way to update apps through the ipod touch or through the computer to which the ipod syncs?
I once updated the apps on the computer and synced my ipod with the computer but the apps on the ipod touch were not updated. Is it because the sync was not properly done?
Thanks.

the best way is to install all apps and updates from your computer. this will also drastically decrease your backup time. i recently deleted all my apps and reinstalled them from my computer, and my backup time dropped from 9 hours to about 10 mins. i was told this was prob caused by orphan data and errors from installing from the app store on your touch.

That is absolutely not true.
An NSU update for the N96 at least is a 125MB download or thereabouts.
V10.043 to V11.018 was about 3.5MB via FOTA, V11.018 to V11.101 was no more than a few hundred KB, and V11.101 to V12.043 was once again about 3MB.
FOTA is far more reliable than NSU since there are fewer machines involved (the phone grabs the update directly from Nokia instead of having it buffered by a machine, a machine running one of the most notoriously unreliable operating systems ever created) and therefore fewer points of potential failure.
As psychomania pointed out, there are cases of people bricking their phones with NSU daily on these forums. To date, we have see one case of a failed FOTA update. Draw your own conclusions.
Like our resident psycho, I hope that FOTA becomes far more widespread in the future. It is much more reliable and quick.
Message Edited by grschinon on 28-Dec-2008 04:50 PM
although i tend to agree that FOTA should be safer, but i think we might be jumping to conclusions to early, as there are about 91 phones supported by NSU, most of which are updated by the conventional PC way, whereas there are very few that uses FOTA (i knew of 2 handsets), hence the relatively lower incidence of failures...

Best way to update exposed schema as WCF service ?

Hi,
I am newbie to WCF + BizTalk. I am doing small POC's on exposing & consuming orchestration & schemas as WCF service. I had successfully exposed schema as WCF service also consumed this service using C# client code.
My question is that suppose if there is a change in the existing exposed schema say a field has to be added then what is the best way to update a service. Do we need to add a field in schema & again expose this schema and update our service referernce
in the client code ? Or this can be achieved in a better way ???
Regards,
Rahul Madaan
BizTalkVillage.blogspot.com

Hi Rahul,
When you expose Orchestration or Schema as a WCF service and let's say if there are only few fields which got updated/added then there are multiple options to handle it.
For example-
1) You can go ahead and update the XSD files within AppCode folder. You can find this folder by doing explore on web application(in iis manager). Whenever we expose schema or orchestration these schemas are generated and kept in this folder. When you check
the WSDL it will have reference to these schemas and they will define the contract of incoming and outgoing message(request and response). This is the easiest way. I prefer it for Dev environments and testing.
2) But I would suggest you to run the publishing wizard again as it's less error prone.
Please understand that BizTalk will always remain unaffected of the type of message it receives from the isolated host, the actual problem comes when hits the first receive shape(typed message).
Thanks,
Prashant
