"Call in the 160 gigger!!!"

_*Hi guys* (for the fourth post),_
*_Something new..._*
This time, it is conscerning my internal hard drive.
Basically, I would like a 160GB Hard Drive to match my new 1GB of RAM.
Which Hard Drive should I buy?
I have heard Seagate are good so I found this product which I thought would work:
http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=635b6c80bb6c7110VgnVCM100000f5ee 0a0aRCRD&locale=en-US
Will it work? If not, can you pick me out one please - My only requirements are that it is a decent price it
*MUST BE 160GB* and *MUST FIT* my Mac.
*_My well-known Macintosh spec's:_*
You probably know my Mac's spec's off by heart now; They are: 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD, 17-inch
Could I also have instructions on how to install it please?
Cheers,
Josh

Pretty much any ATA drive will be just fine. The +iMac G4+ doesn't have SATA, so the drive you link too won't work. 
Dabs.com (WD)
Dabs.com (Segate). (This one is ATA not SATA)
I assume you are building to order for a sale? otherwise a larger drive would be better value.
<hr width="200">
The iMac uses a standard desktop PC hard drive. It is 3.5" wide and in the iMac G4 uses the IDE connection. The iMac 1GHz 17" has an ATA100 bus so can use ATA100 or ATA133 drives but not ATA66 or SATA. You should buy a 7,200rpm drive with a cache of 8MB or higher as this also increases the speed.
It's pretty fiddly to work inside an iMac G4 so you must be very cautious. Always take anti-static precautions. Here are three options for guiding you through the procedure:
MacWorld
xlr8yourmac
Service Manuals
I've also taken a fair few photos which you can find here.
I'd advise reading the reports on the xlr8yourmac's drive database so get other people's experiences first.
You must replace the Thermal Paste when you close the iMac up or it will overheat.
It's probably worth replacing the PRAM Battery whilst you're in there as these have a finite life (once they fail to re-charge you may start to run in to snags - it's only a £6 part).
The hard disk should be set to Cable Select.
You might also give consideration to installing an 20x DVD±RW Dual Layer burner whilst you do this update; which will have to be removed during the process and costs around £18 (i.e. Pioneer 115).
You must be very careful around the video connector in the iMac; it really is very fragile. In fact there is no need to touch it at all in my experience.

    I managed to find a solution to my problem described above. I downloaded a demo copy of the shareware called R-Tools which I found on Tucows.com
    The site described the software thus: "Take advantage of R-Studio's unique ability to recover files and disks on remote computers, even if their partition structures are damaged or deleted."
    The demo software searched my ipod and found all my photos and showed them as thumbnails. Of course the demo software would not save the files unless I registered it which cost US$49.95. There are several different suites of applications from this publisher, I got the cheapest option which is called "R-Studio FAT".
    I didn't mind paying this amount because the photos were very precious to me and by this point I had just about resigned myself to losing them all. I had previously contacted a professional data recovery service and they had quoted me "AUD$80 per hour and probably 1 to 2 hours work".
    I've been too busy organising my newly recovered photos into galleries and editing them using photoshop to be bothered to try and fix my ipod which I doubt I will want to use again for photo storage.

  • How to secure a PL/SQL procedure that is called from the web browser

    If you have ever seen the sample document management application, and tried to download a file that was stored in the system, you are probably familiar with the apex_util.count_click URL that is used to download the file. If you copy that URL and paste it into a new browser, you will not be prompted to login to download the requested file. I'm using SSO with Apex as a partner application. How can I secure a pl/sql procedure like this to redirect to the login page before beginning the download?
    Thanks,
    Kris

    You can use the second method described here:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:15
    You would use an application process instead of pasting the procedure call in the browser. In the case I describe, you don't need to grant execute to public on the download procedure.

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

  • Incoming calls bypass the general iphone lock

    Although I've set up the general lock on my IPhone 3G, incoming calls bypass the mechanism and make the phone accessible by anyone who picks it up. Is there a way to require a passcode for receiving calls....I want to block all access to my phone!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Message was edited by: chiroguy2pittsburgh

    You'll find that with the iPhone locked, an incoming call will not allow access to the phone, i.e. you can only answer and talk, not access the phone OS.

  • How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?

    How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?  I have a bluetooth car device and when I try to talk through it (as I did with my old phone) to call someone it does not work.  so far only hte last person called is redialed.

    That is a carrier-based service. So first you have to make sure your service contract includes that feature.
    It usually also includes Call Hold. So you call the first party, put them on hold, call the second, then reactivate the first. But only if your carrier allows you to.

  • The call was cancelled by the caller before the remote party answered

    Hi,
    We have a Lync 2010 Enterprise deployment in a single site with 2 FE and Mediation Server collocated.
    When dialling a number from a PSTN phone the call gets routed via our PBX/PBX Gateway/Mediation Server/FE Server to the desktop Lync client successfully.
    As soon as the user answers the call with the Lync client the call 'hangs' and terminates without hearing anything on either side.
    The snooper logs show:
    Error:
    SIP/2.0 487 Request Terminated
    Partial Content:
    User-Agent: UCCAPI/4.0.7577.4398 OC/4.0.7577.4398 (Microsoft Lync 2010)
    Ms-client-diagnostics: 52092;reason="The call was cancelled by the caller before the remote party answered"
    Content-Length: 0
    Please help?
    Vinkie

    What kind of gateway are you using to connect to your PBX and how?  What is your media set to?  G.711 μ-law or a-law?  I'd check media settings there as a starting point.

    How can I listen to music from iphone 4s via apple tv while doing a phone call at the same time?
    When I take a call on the iphone, iphone stops streaming the music to apple tv until I finished the call.

    PS: did ask the same question to apple hotline in germany. Answer: we don´t know... funny

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As far as I know you can't, which sort of makes sense, it seems logical to pause whatever you are doing while you take a phone call, which after all is the primary function of a phone.

  • IPhone 3G S has dropped over 83 calls in the last day. 3G is the culprit.

    It started yesterday (Oct 3rd, 2009) as a nuisance, but it grew to make my phone not useable.
    The symptoms where:
    iPhone has full bars and the 3G indicator is active.
    1: Dial a call phone waits longer than usual to dial, but gets the call through.
    2: user on the other line picks up long enough to say hello, and the phone does its hated beep,beep,beep after 3 seconds!
    3: cannot receive calls.
    4: try the internet or mail, and you get the connection error. (Obviously we have a network error here!)
    I called 1800 my iphone , and the tech basically told me to do what I had done repeatedly for 5-6 hours.
    1: shut the phone down and re-start. (No kidding, I didn't think of that!) +Did not work+...
    2: hold the power and home button until the phone restarts. +Did not work+
    3: go to settings> general> reset>reset network settings. +Did not work+
    4: go to settings> general> reset>reset all settings. +Did not work+
    5: remove the sim card and re-insert into phone. +Did not work+
    The tech tells me to bring the phone to the Apple Store. Of course there's not an a appointment available for 2 days. (thank god for Skype, even though you need Wi-Fi for it to work, it works!)
    The tech blames my software on my phone, and says that I should restore the phone to factory settings.
    Next, I decide to go a little deeper... Since my phone will not work for the next two days, I decided to do the : settings> general> reset> ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS. (You still have your last back-up, but once you start you're in for at least and hours worth of restoration. )
    After the phone restarts from its complete erase, and comes back up as a "new" phone I simply connect it to my laptop just to reactivate it... I re-activate the phone as a "new" phone. (This means theres not one piece of third party software on the phone. This also means the phone doesnt have any settings other than factory setting.
    Confident I call my wife again... "Hi honey lets try this again...beep, beep, beep!!!"
    I just wasted another hour of my life!!!!
    Finished with apple tech support, I call AT&T tech support. I got straight to a customer service rep. She seems competent enough... She asks me whats happening, I tell her. She suggests the following:
    1: Dial #002# and press the call button. The wheel spins for a second, and then you get a screen with a bunch of error messages... She says to ignore all the messages and shut the phone down.
    2: I shut the phone down and wait 2 minutes.
    3: I re-start the phone.
    4: she has me repeat step one again.
    5: I call my wife. I talk to my wife for 35 seconds. Confident that this has worked I hang up with her, and decide to call again. the next cal I get beep, beep ,beep!!
    Ok so I'm in full tech mode now. So I decide to go "old school" and turn 3G off... (Which I should have done way earlier in the game, but I decided to give AT&T the benefit of the doubt. My mistake!!!)
    I go to settings> general> network, and turn the 3G slider to the "OFF" position. (Yep we're back to "E", not empty, but the EDGE network, which is close to empty!!!!) suddenly my phone begins to go on the internet. I start getting the beloved ding (incoming email messages, and voice mails) Hooray for me! Two multi-billion dollar companies couldn't get my phone to work, but I am at least able to get it to work in part, all with my own troubleshooting. +THIS WORKED!!!+ but now I'm on a much slower network. So I guess I can call it the iPhone "E S".
    Although apple has amazing products, they have a mayor flaw. They're freaking stubborn! Here's probably the greatest handheld device out there, but they have bogged it down by putting it on probably the most unreliable network in the US. I've gotten better service in Cancun while roaming... Seriously!
    Just like refusing to have a two button mouse for years, until demand and constant barraging from customers made them add the feature. ( and even then its not a true second "button" on laptops ) I think they are going to do the same thing with the AT&T only thing.
    Apple, you're a bunch of smart, but stubborn people!

    After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
    I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
    I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
    I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

  • How do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s

    how do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s?

    Basel,
    I'm not sure why these folks are having trouble understanding your request. I will dumb it down for them. Is there an option to have the iPhone only provide me with notifications when I'm not on the phone. Having my $800ish phone buzz and interrupt my phone conversation (after all primary function of this iPhone is being a phone) to let me know one of my Facebook friends has challenged me to a game of words with friends. I don't want my iPhone to not notify me at all. It can notify me after the call (again primary function) is complete. Going through menus and turning off notifications all together is absolutely silly. I wouldn't want to have to navigate through the menus and turn them off and then on an then off just to make or receive a phone call. Could you imagine answering you phone with, "hey, just wait I have to turn my notifications off so I can have this conversation." every time you wanted to talk on the phone.
    So yeah. Again not sure why they were having trouble with understanding you. I hope this helps clarify it for them.

  • Error 1172, an error running a VI in the second time call of the DLL

    Hello All,
    I am a beginner in labVIEW.
    I have to write a test program in labVIEW which uses a DLL created by other programmer.
    I called the DLL from my labVIEW to control DIOs, a serial port, communicate with a slave device, perfrom a flashing task.
    While testing the program, I found that the program is OK if I use it just once, however, if I want to run it coninuously using a Do-While Loop, it failed with
    Error 1172.
    As far as I could understand, it seems that the DLL creates a log file in C:\ while it was called for the first time, and the process does not stop taking control of this log file even after the DLL is closed.
    Then when the DLL is called for the second time, it looks for the same log file to write new info but as it was taken control by the previous process, there comes an error.
    Please find the attached files.
    Hope there would be somebody who is able to help me to point out my mistakes in my vi or suggest me a solution for it.
    Thanks and Best Regards
    Aung
