An upgrade shopping list.  One thing needed before surgery can commence.

Hi, I'm about to open the digital version of Pandora's box! I jest of course (well, sort of)... Seriously, I have great expectations for the successful upgrade of the "non-user replaceable" RAM for my G4 flat panel 800 to it's 1 GB limit.
In reading this forum I think that I have a pretty good idea of the items that I will need and where to buy them all (and please correct me if I'm wrong about any of these). All except for the PRAM battery, that is.
1. The Ram can be bought here at Crucial:
http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT64M72S4D7E
2. The thermal Paste here:
http://www.directron.com/12grams.html
3. But the PRAM battery? I think the part number is: 3.6v lithium 1/2 AA and is sold at BatteriesPlus here:
http://www.batteriesplus.com/search/3.6v-lithium-1_2-AA.aspx
But upon searching out that part number I was provided with a dizzying amount of choices - i.e. 3 choices of Lithiums, and a slew of manufacturers.
Can anyone be more specific, as in the exact name, type and US dealer that I should use? As mentioned here, I might as well replace the battery while I have the case open.
Plus I'd be obliged for any tips you have, such as, is the Thermal Paste really necessary? These sites don't use it:
http://www.memoryx.net/howtoinfacdi.html or here:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMacg4/imacg4takeapart.html
And yet I know that I have seen some great pictures and instructions of installing the RAM on a post from this site, that does use it. If anyone has the url for that I'd appreciate it, because I can't find it again.
I've read from mrtotes that - "The thermal paste is replaced on the two pillars connecting the base to the dome." - Does that mean that this is the only place for the paste?
I ask because I think that I read (on that mysterious missing url) that some kind of residue is scraped from the inner ridge of the dome upon opening it. What is this substance and do I have to replace it? I can't see as how it would be Thermal Paste if it is not involved with a heat sink or heat dissipation. Unless it has something to do with the bottom vents or the metal plates.
I must say that I've cracked a lot of cases before, but this is a whole new adventure. Wish me luck, and a sincere thank you in advance to all that are kind enough to help me out.

Hello, 
PRAM Battery.

There are two pillars so two places to apply a small blob of thermal paste to. Thermal paste is esential for the correct operation of iMac as failure to replace it will lead to overheating and the subsequent thermal stress and degradation of the logic board:

    Mifi devices are usually quite small. Think Credit Card size, and maybe slightly thicker. So not really a big device you need to carry around.
    In any case if you are still within the 14 day return period you may be able to return it to an Apple retail store. It needs to be an Apple Owned store, not sure Authorized Resellers will let you do it.
    Other than that, bob points out, you may want to try to use the iPhone as a hotspot for the iPad.  If your Carrier supports it.  Like the Mifi device, the iPhone will share its cellular internet connection out to other devices over a Wireless network the iPad can use.

  • Elements 8. need to adjust colour on one thing in photo. Can I do it?

    I have done colour correction and contrast correction and the picture is the right colours and texture. The eye of the cat is all wrong now. the is a vivid green in life but now is a washed out drab eye. Need to correct that one thing. Can I do it??

    Sure. Select the eye, add a one or two pixel feather, then layer>new adjustment layer>hue/saturation. If the eye is completely blown out (no color at all) you may need to turn on the colorize checkbox. Once you're done you may want to adjust the opacity of the layer a bit for a more realistic effect.

  • HT5678 What the important thing we need before we can setup The Mountain Lion Server application

    I want to set up mountain lion server application on my mac osx 10.83 , may i have some suggestion before i set up it to my macBook .

    I'd ask what requirements you're looking to fulfill by using OS X Server on a MacBook system, as that's not a typical hardware configuration for a server.
    OS X Server and most other server operating systems expect static IP addresses and full-time availability, where a MacBook tends to be mobile and to thus have a variety of dynamic DHCP IP addresses and networks, and MacBook systems also tend to be closed and hibernating at random times.
    It's certainly possible to use this hardware as a server (and it can be useful when you're learning how to manage a server and have a "scratch" MacBook available), but the hardware is not necessarily a good fit.
    As you add services, you'll want to have DNS services established and verified, and — on a typical NAT'd local area network with no other LAN-local DNS services — that involves configuring DNS services on OS X Server itself.  DNS is a prerequisite for various other OS X Server services.
    But yes, do have a disk backup, either Time Machine, or as an external disk backup, or however you preserve your data.  Skimming the OS X Server manuals can help save some time figuring out the platform, too.

  • WHY does Muse upload every page when I only change one thing. And how can I make Muse faster.

    I have a bunch of sites I do for people that are similar. Here's one: www.mattfelis.com.
    When I make a single change on one page, just a text change (the last time I deleted a freakin' period) and tell Muse to Upload it to FTP host, it uploads every single page in the site. Every one. And since there are 55 pages, that means it takes about 20 minutes with a darned fast upload speed (20MBPS upload). It isn't the uploading that kills me, it's the Exporting of pages. All of them. All 55. Why is it doing this?
    And while we are talking about speed, most of the time in working with these files I see what I call the beach ball of death on a constant basis. Just opening a page from Plan Mode or going back to Plan Mode from a page can take 20 seconds. I know, I've counted. Copy and paste between pages can take longer. I am running a 3 year old Mac Pro with 12 gigs of RAM and tons of disk space. How can I make Muse work better. More RAM? To speed it up I find that I have to quit about every 30 minutes and restart Muse to get it back to any semblance of speed. Smaller sites obviously don't do this but big ones (I have a lot of those) do.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There's a bug we've become aware of and fixed for the next major release where use of one or more objects on a master page that have different states that require output as separate background images can result in that master page and all pages where that master page is used always being considered out-of-date and in need of re-export and upload.
    Unfortunately, there's no workaround short of removing such items from your master page(s).
    If you're not already part of the Private Beta Program and are interested in working with the next version of Muse prior to its official release, the Private Beta Program is open to all subscribers who can accept the terms of the Non-disclosure Agreement. You can join via the Help menu within Muse. The Beta Program for the next major release will be started soon.

  • I purchased an upgrade to my one note app.  How can I get that to transfer to my new iPad?

    I purchased an upgrade for my OneNote app, how do I get that to transfer to my new iPad?   I downloaded the app but the upgrade is not loaded on this new iPad.

    One way is to open the App Store on your iPad and click the "Updates" link in the lower right.  You should see OneNote there with a clickable "Download" button.  Click the button and wait for the download and install to complete.

  • How Many Points Do I Need Before I Can Report Abuse?

    I noticed a thread was removed yesterday because it mentioned a bad JB had caused issues and we all know that hacking Apple iPhones and iPads can't be discussed here, however I was about to explain to this person that they should restore their phone to original factory condition using iTunes and forget about the JB when it was yanked.
    When I posted a complaint my thread got yanked presumably simply because it mentioned the dreaded JB word.
    I wouldn't mind so much but doing a forums search using that word produces at least 2 pages of threads that have been left intact, many of them in Enterprise and stretching back over quite a long period of time, so I feel that someone is acting in rather an arbitrary manner and not reading the posts before yanking them.
    I shall await the yanking of this thread but I tell you, as a veteran poster in many security-related forums, I do know the meaning of the expression acceptable behaviour.

    I think it's more a question of way too little time. This is a VERY busy forum. The Hosts can't possibly read every post as well as deal with all the maintenance, answer questions.

They try to balance a the TOU against a lively exchange of ideas (and sometimes, it gets very lively!). They are also human. Sometimes one host will have a different take on a post than another. Sometimes, deaicions are changed and threads get reinstated.
    Whether threads are left open also depends on timing. I don't spend much time in the Mac forums these days nut I'd bet that the Hosts are being a bit more lenient about somethings because of the recent release of Lion. They tend to allow posts that are a bit closer to rants when there has been a big release because, well, some people are freaking out.
    It's never going to be completely consistent. However, every Host I've ever interacted with has seemed to be trying very hard to make this a useful, and yes, even fun place.
    If you have a concern, post it here and it will get sorted out.
    Best of luck.
    I moderate McAfee and Neosmart forums, so I know what you mean.

  • Do I have to upgrade to Premiere pro 8.1 before I can upgrade to 8.2?

    Hey guys, I'm new here, so please forgive me if this question is stupid.
    I presently have Adobe Premiere Pro CC v8.0.1 installed. I know that there have been two upgrades to this version, viz. 8.1 and 8.2.
    My question is if I can safely download the offline updater to v8.2 and skip updating to v8.1 all together? Is it possible? And if I were to do this, would I be missing out on the features of  update v8.1?
    Thank you for your time and patience!

    Hi Somu cena,
    Welcome to Adobe forums.
    You can install the 8.2 update directly. Please check what's changed and fixed in both the updates from the below links.

  • When I open on Mozilla Firefox, several identical items open on bar at bottom of page, when only one is needed, and I can't get rid of them apart from closing the whole lot.

    Different tabs used to appear at the top of the page (Yahoo), which I could easily close. This has stopped. When I click on Mozilla Firefox on my desktop, about 6 little boxes appear at the bottom of my page, at least two of them being mozilla, and I can't get rid of them except by closing down the internet. If I go through Talk Talk, (a second email address) and get to Yahoo this way, this doesn't happen, but I always prefer to use Mozilla Firefox.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • IPhone Shopping List App

    I'm looking for a good reliable shopping list app for the iPhone. I've tried all the free apps and they are terrible, buggy little programs that are poorly designed and not very user friendly. It seems that most of the shopping lists I've found are only rated at 3 stars and have very few reviews associated with them. And of those reviews it seems a chunk of them have not even used the app. Any recommendations are welcome.
    Also a recommendation to Apple if you are reading, don't allow people to review an app if they have not actually downloaded it, this would eliminate a lot of the biased phony reviews.
    --Brian

    Hi Brian,
    Found you
    I looked into three: Shopping List; SplashShopper; and Shopper. I've provided the links because there seems to be two apps called Shopping List (one without the middle space) in the Apps Store.
    I wanted something that was flexible, easy to use, would grow with me, had support for the data on my Mac, and was reasonably priced.
    Initially SplashShopper seemed to fit the bill on all counts, but it's not cheap: $10 for the iPhone app plus $20 for the Mac client. It sounded like it would grow with me and be flexible. I downloaded the Mac client and I'm afraid was not impressed. It seemed slightly awkward to use and tried to do too many things (for what I wanted). The iPhone app seemed to be totally lacking in documentation (if anyone has a link for it I'd appreciate a copy) and thus couldn't tell what it was really like on the iPhone - videos of its operation (like the other two apps) would be useful. On top of that, $10 for the iPhone app is reasonable if it's the right one but $30 total to have a Mac client too was just too steep and thus, together with the other reasons, it got rejected.
    Shopping List and Shopper are $3.99 and $4.99 respectively. Their web sites give you a terrific idea of what the app will and will not do. I really liked the item photos in Shopper. But I also liked the talk of a web interface to your data on Shopping List (it's not there yet but we're told it's coming). Also, Shopping List comes with no preconceived ideas of what items you want to track, and Shopper comes with a list built-in, both apps can have their lists modified.
    I liked the idea in Shopping List that it can tell me the last time I bought something and the badge displays the number of items needing to be bought. Neither app seems to handle quantities very well, something that SplashShopper does, as well as shop aisle numbers.
    Therefore it came down to gut feeling about the two apps, and I chose Shopping List. I'm currently trying it out, I've entered nearly 70 items found in 4 shops. If it doesn't work out then I'll try Shopper - at their prices you can easily afford to take them for a ride.
    One last point (that I made in the other thread): I feel slightly uneasy about waving my iPhone around in a store when buying stuff, it would be nice to have a case with an attached wrist strap!
    I hope this helps but as always YMMV.

  • Shopping list in SRM MDM?

    Hi ,
    We are using shopping list in SRM MDM. But if user is creating a shopping list, other users are able to see exiting shopping list (which is created by others.). They are able to add the items to other shopping lists.
    My requirement is  "shopping list created by user A , should not be seen by user  B".
    There is some options available like share/unshare, but those are not working. Even though if we give unshare option also, it has seen by others.
    How we can achieve this functionality.
    Regards
    Venkatesh P

    Hello
    The Shopping Lists are stored for the MDM logon user defined in the call structure.
    As you should be using a fixed predefined user for the catalog in call structure all the SRM users that have access to this catalog will be able to create / display the same Shopping Lists.
    Verify note 1153525. As it says:
    To give every named user working with the SRM-MDM Catalog the possibility to store Shopping Lists individually, you need to route the user from the SAP backend to the SRM-MDM Catalog.
    In the external webservice definition for the catalog url, add the parameter 'sl_user' with the value 'SY-UNAME' (Type: SAP Field).
    I hope this helps.

  • Upgrading broadband - need two HH5s - can it be do...

    Hello,
    we have just ordered an upgrade to fast broadband (engineer to arrive Tuesday afternoon), but I think we should cancel the upgrade because of the odd set-up we have.
    The telephone/network set-up is unusual, and somewhat less than ideal, for historical reasons, as ever.  The telephone line comes into the house on the first floor, with the master socket in the main bedroom.  However, the main computer, for several years the only computer, is in an outbuilding near to the house, along with my hi-fi and much else.  Please note that the buildings are all of stone with walls a minimum of a foot thick. So, we have an approximately 30' long extension cable (not the cheap kit cable) running from the rear of the master socket out through the eaves and across to the outbuilding, where the home hub is. A couple of years ago, wanting to use laptops in the house, and with the home hub on a window-sill facing the house, I installed an Edimax Wi-Fi range extender on a widow-sill in the house (facing the outbuilding), thus providing network access through the ground floor of the house. So we have the telephone line into the house, out to the outbuilding, into the home hub which gives a network there and over to the extender in the home giving wifi in the house. Yes I know it's a bit silly but we are where we are. I also replaced the HH2 with a HH5 bought off e-bay last year to give me gigabit ethernet ports to support my new NAS drive which supports a music network, amonst other things.
    The problem is that I would think that the BT engineer (OpenReach?) will almost certainly only install the new HH5 in the house, and will not want to connect up to the long extension; indeed he will probably just want to disconnect that.  As I now have two HH5s I have been think of making the old one (in the outbuilding) a slave/access-point connected via ethernet cable to the new one in the house. Unfortunately I think it would be impossible to expect the installer to provide an ethernet cable connection to the outbuilding even if I offer to pay extra.  This would leave the desktop computer (my main computer), the NAS and the hi-fi off the network.
    Can anyone say what you can ask the installers to do, and if they would just be prepared to connect us up to fast broadband using the set-up described above, so that we have faster broadband even if not as good as it could be? I should say that I would not be able to install cables through stone walls and between buildings myself, and I do not know where to fine a 'home' installer around here (Herefordshire, between Hereford and Ross-on-Wye).
    I am about to try and cancel the upgrade and return the new HH5, but would be very grateful to hear if anyone thinks this is my only option.

    Thank you licquorice and georgemac for your quick and useful replies; they are much appreciated.
    liquorice, I think I will now wait, and talk to the installer when he arrives and see if he will leave the set-up as it is at present, but just upgraded; thanks, as I feel a bit easier about this.
    georgemac, thank you for saying much the same, I guess he will just take the new HH5 out of its box (it's still in the hall of the house), and use it on the master-socket for testing.  As for the powerline adapters for, I presume, an ethernet connection from house to outbuilding or vice-versa (the latter would be using them on the the current set-up), I have thought of that but the power supply to the outbuilding comes off a 'spur' from the consumer unit in the house, and feeds into another consumer unit in the outbuilding.  Thus I am concerned that there may be too many circuit-breakers in the connection, which I understand may cause some unreliabilty. Trust me, I would like to re-engineer the whole set-up, but that would be a big task, and we may move in a year or two, so....
    Thank you both again, I will try to see if I can just upgrade the system as it is, and if not I guess I will decline the upgrade. Oh, one thing, I currently have a micro-filter and phone hanging off the telephone socket at the end of the outbuilding extension (along with the HH5 of course). That link you provided georgemac, is saying that the extension will become part of the broadband circuit so I guess I must lose my landline phone in the outbuilding. I wonder how I get out of that... ho-hum.
    Thanks again to both of you.

    Hi Pramod
    I have not worked on any scenario between JD Edwards and XI, but SAP has a list of adapters provided by iWay software, one of which is used to connect to JDE One World XE. The good thing about this adapter is that, you do not require a separate runtime.
