I have an old Mac Tower. I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of of hard drive must I purchase so that it works with the Tower? There is not a lot to transfer.

MG,
What we might need to do is to change the question. What computer do you plan to use the data on in the future? For example, if you have a newer tower, just move the hard drive to the new tower. If you want to use the data, what about an ethernet LAN to get the data over? If you want to archive the data, how do you store the second drive? What are your plans for the first drive? If the new software will not recognize the old file type, the data must be exported. Just getting files to another hard drive will not finish your journey.
As Allan said, knowing the exact model and year of your tower is important. My suggestion is to find a user group near you. Please post back with more information, including the name of a large city near you.
For example, our user group just experimented with a 1983 Apple IIc that predates the Mac. It started right up, read files from 1984 and saved them from a 5.25" floppy to a 3.5" floppy. That 3.5 floppy will go into a platinum G3 which will read PRODOS files using Apple File Exchange. That G3, with a USB card, will allow saving the files to a USB flash drive. But, somewhere along the way, some software has to read the file and convert it to data that is useable by current software.

No. You will need to upgrade if you can.

I have a new Mac air and need to install office from a disc. How do I do it

I have a new MacAir that does not have an optical drive. I have office 10 with an unused licence on a disc. How can I install it on my MacAir?

Several options.
If you have a USB optical drive, you can connected it to your MBA and use it. You don't need to buy Apple's optical drive, any USB drive will work.
If you have another Mac or PC you can use its optical drive. See this Apple knowledgebase article for details
You can visit Microsoft's Web site and download the software then apply your license.

If meta data LUN is totaly destroied , is there any way to rebuild the data from the video LUN

If meta data LUN is totaly destroied , is there any way to rebuild the data from the video LUN ????

What happened to your metadata? Are you sure the metadata is gone?
In theory, file carving could be attempted on the data LUNs, but you would need a tool that understands how Xsan lays out data across LUNs in a stripe group and hope your fragmentation isn't too bad. I doubt such a tool exists, but if one does it almost certainly is not publicly available. You should probably contact a data recovery service with experience recovering data from Xsan. Do that before you do anything else if this data is really important.

Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor .....

Hello,
I hope that is the right forum for this issue.
We have the application 'Lodestar' for some years.
The frond-end is ASP and the database is Oracle 9. Lodestar has its own backend language "Rules language". The crystal version is 10
Now we have a new version of Lodestar with ASP and ASP.NET, Oracle 11g and Crystal 11.
But when we run some reports with the new version we get the error "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 1652 ] Failed to retrieve data from the database." When I google on this error then it seems that it has something todo with tablespace.
We have changed the tablespace volume from 32Gb to 100Gb, but we still get this error.
Has anybody an idea what the cause could be?

Thanks all for you're reaction.
Oke we have changed the temp space from 30 Gigs --> 200 Gigs, but still the problem occurs. To make the temp tablespace is not the good direction, this is what the dba'er told me.
I'm not a guru with SQL/Oracle, but what for me hard to understand is" why does it work with the old version and not with the new version anymore?
It is a very difficult view with unions (I'm not the developer of this view), and I think I'm gonna try to break-down this view in different small parts and try to find where it goes wrong. I don't see any other way to investigate this problem.
(I see now the reaction of upul indika.)

I have a new Mac. I installed my Bridge CS4 that I ran on my old mac. When I import RAW photos from my Nikon d90 they come in with an .NEF extension. I need to install a converter but cannot find one.

I have a new mac. I installed my Bridge CS4 and Photoshop CS4 that I ran on my old mac. When I import RAW pics from my Nikon D90 they come in with the extension of .NEF. Apparently this is not a readable form for Bridge as the picture does not appear. I believe I need a converter to convert .NEF to .dng but I can't find one. Any ideas?

You do not need to convert to DNG.
The NEFs from your camera model have been supported since ACR 4.6 and 5.1.
What you need to do is update your ACR plug-in to version 5.7, the latest and last version for CS4. Right now, you are probably on ACR 5.0, the version supplied with the original release of Photoshop CS4.
Be aware that the Adobe updater is extremely unreliable when it comes to CS5, so that you must do the update manually. There are detailed instructions on the ACR 5.7 plug-in download page. You MUST follow those instructions to the letter.

if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

You need to buy an upgrade if one is compatible with your Mac model.
PowerPC G3 Macs can only go to 10.4.11.
PowerPC G4 and G5 Macs can only go to 10.5.8.
Macs with a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU can only go to 10.6.8.
Core 2 Duo and better Macs can go to 10.7.5 or 10.8.3 depending on their model. Upgrading to either requires going through 10.6.

Use Migration Assistant on your new Mac:
Click Continue:
On the next screen, choose your Time Machine backup disk.
Don't bother to migrate Applications unless you know they will work on your new Mac. For example, PowerPC applications won't work. Just migrate your user account which will copy all your photos, music, movies, and other documents.
Note: you will not be able to migrate the information to same account in which you are already logged in. Migration Assistant will tell you that and recommend what to do. It can migrate the information to a new account, but you will have to give it a name you might want to change later. One way around this is to create a temporary account, log in to it, and run Migration Assistant which will replace your normal account. Then, log out of the temporary account, log in to your usual one, verify everyting works as you expect, and delete the temporary one.
All this can be avoided when you set up a brand new Mac by running Setup Assistant which essentially does the same thing to create your new account, but most people are too excited to do that and elect to migrate later.

See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

I have an old Mac OS X 10.6.8.

I have an old Mac OS X 10.6.8. I got an email from my bank saying they no longer supported my browser and I need to update, but I don't know how to do that or what is safe to do without messing up my computer. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

TenFourFox will not run on a Mac that can run OS 10.6.8 (Intel-nased). You can use regular Firefox for that OS. It runs under 10.6 and is recognized as a supported browser by most major web sites:

You cannot move or copy software between computers. You must reinstall. You will need the serial number. Check your account details on Adobe's site if you registered.

Yes.
From the box and the website:

You would need to update your Mac OS.
