Post Crash attempts to Get Back to OS X10.4.8 All Failing

I am so close yet so far away.
After 3 weeks of working on my Old Mac G4 (which was running 10.4.8 just fine before the crash), after running Disk Warrior (if you do have this Utility S/W on the self get it , it is the best $90 you will ever spend) to create a new directory to solve my B-Tree issues and after re-loading Tiger 10.4 from the Installation disk I am able to get the updates from Apple Support Downloads to update up to 10.4.11. All others downloaded regardless of whether they are "Combo's" or "Incremental" will not install. For example when I get past 10.4.2's S/W License Agreement and I see the drive mounted I want to load to it has a Red Exclamation Point on it and when I hit install I get the following message "Installing this software requires 125MB of space (I have 8.7 GB and 1.25 GB SDRAM available). You can not install this Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." What requirements are being refered to? Is it Firmware Update that is neeed, is do which one? Any thoughts??
The irony here is that the reason I know I was running up to 10.4.8 is that I have WD Backup Anywhere software loaded and it will not launch now as it requires a minimum of 10.4.8, so no access to my back-up files. Yikes!
Thanks for you help and insights, Michael

I knew missing that day in 1st grade would come back to haunt me when the teacher covered number sequences!
Talk about a forest for the trees situation, it is just that I have hit so many error loops ect. in this re-build I was thinking that 10.4.2 had a ZERO after it so 20 is bigger than 11. Right?
OK, the Build # is 8S165 on my 10.4.11. What does that tell you?
So now that I know I at least exceed the Minimum OS S/W requirement of 10.4.8, I am beginning to think I will have to re-install the WD Backup Anywhere. I say this because regardless of whether I double click on its icon in the APPLICATION folder or in the shortcut in DOCK, the icon pops, the margins of a page explode outward and then nothing. I am a little fearful to do so as I do not want to lose my backup archives. I will get in touch with them directly for advise on what to do.
Thanks so much for your response. Michael

I have an iPhone 3GS, for some strange reasons only 45 contact are getting backed up on icloud instead of all the contacts.
Can you please help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

Get back ids based on ids having all one status

I have a table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[myTable](
[p_id] [varchar](3) NOT NULL,
[s_id] [varchar](9) NOT NULL,
[d_name] [varchar](9) NOT NULL,
[status] [varchar](1) NOT NULL)
And it has the following data.
1 1 X1 N
1 1 X2 E
1 1 X3 E
1 2 Y1 E
1 2 Y2 E
1 2 Y3 E
1 3 Z1 N
1 3 Z2 N
I would like to get the p_id and s_id where all the records for a given p_id and s_id contain status = 'N'. That is I'm look to get back p_id = 1 and s_id = 3 because all the records contain an 'N'.
lg

SELECT *
FROM
SELECT *,SUM(CASE WHEN status ='N' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) OVER (PARTITION BY p_id,s_id) AS Cnt
FROM Table
)t
WHERE Cnt = 0
Use logic like above
if you want just distinct p_id and s_id value tweak it as below
SELECT DISTINCT p_id,s_id
FROM
SELECT *,SUM(CASE WHEN status ='N' THEN 0 ELSE 1 END) OVER (PARTITION BY p_id,s_id) AS Cnt
FROM Table
)t
WHERE Cnt = 0

Hard drive crash, trying to get back to OSX 10.8

I had a recent hard drive crash and had to reinstall from my disk. I am up to OSX 10.6.8. I purchased OSX 10.8 when it came out. It shows in my app store purchases. Does anyone know how I can get to it to bring my machine up to speed?

Got it fixed! I took a chance and got back on chat, this time with an agent who seemed to understand my problem. He took me through a series of steps Shrink Volumes and Extend Volumes that then showed my total hard drive. So, other than now having to go through the restore process again, I should be good!

Locked out with file vault. Did fix by setting up new user account but cannot access old account with files but I can't get back into my old account with all my doc's and pics

I was locked out by File Vault. I set up a new account by fooling the notebook it was a new start up. Now I cannot access my old account with all of my files. I can see it in Accounts but it will not let me access. Help

I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups before I passed away
I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
Apply to Enclosed Items
from the popup menu.
Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

My iPhone isnt working with messages. The messages tend to get backed up and I receive them all later... The phone won't send iMessage during this time period... What do I do?

The messages in the phone don't load until hours after they're received and seem to get overloaded very easily

What would you do for transportation if you drove your car into a tree and had to wait while it was fixed? You'd need to rent, borrow or buy another car, no? The same applies to your phone. This is not Apple's problem; if the service center does not have replacements in stock for immediate swap-out, then it's up to you to provide a backup device or do without.
If you're in a country where Apple provides direct service for iPhones, you may be able to call Apple support and arrange for advance replacement, where they send you the replacement phone and then you send back the old one. Apple offers such service in several countries, though you have to pay an extra fee for the service. If not, then you'll just have to wait for the service center to get in the replacement, and will have to arrange an alternative to use during that time.
Regars.

I'm using internet explorer(yuk!!) and am having trouble with getting back my search engine "google" and all i get is "blank page", can u help?

First of all, forgive me cuz I'm probably NOT the sharpest "chip in a laptop" but I use Internet Explorer as my ISP(I've heard that GOOGLE CHROME is soo much better??) and Google as my search engine.

Can u help me pleeez......thank u ..

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

In my iBooks store I have the crime and thriller category, but can't get back to the main page with all the categories. Help!

iBooks

Is the store frozen i.e. can you navigate within that category ? You could try closing the iBooks app completely and then re-open it and see if it then works : from the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

I accidentally clicked on "full page" and I hate it and now I don't know how to get back to where I can see all the tabs all the time. Help, Please!!!

I think the question is pretty clear -- I don't know what additional details would be helpful. Questions?

How to get back to English keyboard?

By mistake I tapped the "International" key and the keyboard switched to Chinese. Is there a quick way to get back to English without cycling thru all the other keyboards? (Everything else is still in English; only the keyboard is changed.)

Yes it is. It will cycle through whichever Keyboards you have configured or as you put it are "active".
I have 3 keyboards configured. English, spanish, and Emoji. When I hold it down only those 3 keyboards appear. It doesn't show the entire list of available keyboard formats and layouts that the iPad can handle.
My "configured" and your "active" mean the same thing.
Which is why I suggested the poster just tap the key again. Unless they have every supported keyboard configured / active then in at most a couple of taps it should return to the original keyboard layout.
Yes the Tap and Hold also works.

Firefox 5 has lost all my chrome tab's and capabilities which came with 4? how do I un install 5 and get back to my version 4?

firefox 5 has lost all my chrome tab's and capabilities which came with FF4? how do I un install 5 and get back to my version 4 & retain all my bookmarks at least I's also like to retrieve my Chrome capabilities as well?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

There is no legitimate (Apple supported) way to downgrad an iOS on a device. Have you tried downloading/installing a new (free) app. That works for many users with that problem.

Are you saying that you had all your music safely stored in itunes and now it's all gone? You might try getting back the itunes folder that contains all your music (you haven't told us what kind of computer you're using) from a computer backup, say from a day ago. If using a mac, look in Time Machine, in the music folder for your account.
