Can a G5 run without problems with this damaged harddisk? (picture inside)

Ok, so I took my G5 to my dealer cause the fans were revving way too much, and the apple hardware test found an error concerning cpu A. Remember, my G5 worked perfectly fine except for those two things. It was still blazing fast
The dealer got back to me and said there was no problem with the G5 itself, but with the raptor bootdrive that I had installed and bought myself.
They say I damaged the connectors while installing it.
I got the drive and G5 back wednesday, take a look at how my hard drive looks

Does this look like a harddisk which is able to run without problems for 9 months? I can't even believe you can attach the connector in the way those thins are bent and damaged.
There is even plastic broken off.
Besides, if they say this drive was the cause of my error code, then why does it still show the same code, even without that faulty hd inside?
My guess is they damaged my harddisk itself, and are trying to pin it on me. No way, this drive cost me 200 euro.
This dealer isn't going to get anymore money from me.

Hi Klaus;
Why not publish who did this to you here?
You can then let them know how much you think of their work by telling them. That should return the favor they did you. Don't you think?

I can't handle any more problems with this K8t NEO

Hi all, I am new to the forum.
I will honestly say I have tried to read allot of posts before I spoke up but....
I have:
K8t NEO
3200 64
Updated to the latest BIOS
Corsair Overclocking RAM (I am looking up the specs)
256 sick on slot 1
256 stick on slot 3
A new PS....something like:
3.3v 40
5v 38
12v 24 (the local CS gave me a hard time saying I DO NOT NEED such a big PS)
Maxtor 40 gig ATA133
NVIDIA 5600 256
and dwindling patience.
anyhoo, I have had one problem after another trying to get this system to work.
It took 3 hours to find that you cant run 3 sticks of ram.
The manual is the worst one I have ever seen. and there is no phone number to be found to talk to tech support.
I am not getting anywhere with the email "support" from MSI....a DAY to get an abreviated answer that does not answer the specific question. It may be a viable system if they get more staff.
One question...why does the screen "push any key to boot from CD" get "missed"
and two.... I cannot install the OS. It will scopy all of its files and on reboot, i get a messasge about not finding the boot info or something...and to insert a floppy.
I gave up and ran a preloaded HD and it worked for a day until during a recording session, It crashed and when it rebooted it says it cant find any boot info...I should of wrote down the message.
Now What??
I have tried:
A different HD cable
HD jumper settings (Slave / Master)
I tried a low level format.
3 different HDs
Bought the new PS.
I hope I do not have to send this thing in...I dont have hardly any free time. (does anyone?) IF it is needing replaced...do I deal with MSI or the Hindus (zboysz) I bought this Mobo from? I have nothing against Hindus but I CANNOT understand ANYTHING they are saying to me.
Sorry for venting here.
Can anyone can help?
TIA,
~Wizzie

Hey Wizzie
Although I have bought stuff from Tiger Direct ...If I were you instead of fooling around with RMA-ing more defective/incompatable RAM why not get the RAM modules that are indeed compatable with this mobo .........

Can anybody tell me the problem with this code when compiled in jdk1.4

Can anybody help me find out the error in this code.
Try to drag a file from your desktop and drop it on the first textpane on my GUI. Then try to drag another file. This time the dragdrop event handler throws a null pointer exception. This happened when I compiled the code with jdk1.4. With jdk1.3 it is working fine. Actually, I need jdk1.4 to get the systemicons for the files I drop on my desktop.

Can't send email--new problem with this iPod

My juno email was sending spam I was informed. I changed my password on the email and now I can't send any email on my juno accts. Sometimes I can receive email but now I can't send. HELP!

Try:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
I would try deleting the account on the iPod and reentering all settings

Can someone tell me the problem with this (very basic) code

I know it's very basic but here goes
public class MilesAndFurlongs
// the constructor
public MilesAndFurlongs (int Furlongs, int Miles)
amountFurlongs = Furlongs;
amountMiles = Miles;
// method to add one to furlong
public void increment()
amount = (amount + 1);
// method to print out total number of furlongs and miles
public void displayLength()
system.out.println("Furlongs: " + amountFurlongs);
system.out.println("Miles: " + amountMiles);
bluej says theres an illegal start of expression in displaylength()
i know its going to be something stupid :D

this is all of it updated...
public class MilesAndFurlongs
// the constructor
public MilesAndFurlongs (int Furlongs, int Miles)
amountFurlongs = Furlongs;
amountMiles = Miles;
// method to add one to furlong
public void increment()
amount = (amount + 1);
// method to print out total number of furlongs and miles
public void displayLength()
system.out.println("Furlongs: " + amountFurlongs);
system.out.println("Miles: " + amountMiles);

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

Every time I try to install itunes on my PC I get the following message, and I can't seem to find a solution. Any help out there?? "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run."

I keep getting a message that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." when I try to download iTunes 10.5. So I can't update it. How can it be fixed?

When I try to download iTunes 10.5, I keep getting the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." Therefore I can't update my iTunes to the new version. How can I solve this? I don't want to pay for technical support as this seems to be a problem with the iTunes package Apple is providing itself by that message.

Hello, hartadrian.
I would recommend attempting to repair the Apple Software Update via the steps below. Once processed attempt to download, update or install iTunes 11.

Got exact same problem, was told to delete all old apple, quick time and bonjoir from computer then it would work. I use a programme called malware bytes and this takes everthing out of your computer right down to the roots but unfortunately I still have same problem

Hi
You will need to uninstall all traces of previous iTunes installations any all associated items such as bonjour, mobile device thingy, apple software updated etc.
Bonjour and iTunes can be uninstalled using the windows program uninstalled but for everything else best to use a separate installer program that also checks the registry for associated components as you will need to remove these too.
Once you have removed all tracesofeverything apple related ( doesn't seem to matter about QuickTime) you can try to reinstall iTunes 10.5 and hopefully it should install without any problems. I had the same problem as you and once I did all this every went through fine, seems that there is something in the old versions, the software updated part I think which seems to be blocking certain items in the latest version.
Good luck

When attempt to download 10.5, receive message: "...problem with this widows installer package. a program run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. ..." -- what to do?

The iTunes on my computer will not process the upgrade of 10.5 without message: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package.

I get the errer message "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run."

I have Wondows Vista... I tried to upgrade to Itunes 10.5, and received an error orginially stating that I was trying to install a version older than the one I had. I uninstalled all of itunes, and now I'm getting the error message "there is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram required for this install to complete could not be run.
Help! I have an IPhone, and I would like to get my Itunes upgraded so I can download the new Iphone software...
Thanks!

I have been in touch with Apple support in reference to my problem. We went through every solution available, and found no fix. The tech then suggested I contact Microsoft concerning this issue. I thought that suggestion was just to get me pointed somewhere but Apple. Boy was I wrong!! I contacted Microsoft, and was directed to a free download called Microsoft Fix. This program fixed something in the regisitor, and wala everything was fixed!! I now have I-Cloud and I-Tunes loaded and working well. So, if you can't install Apple Software and are running Window 7 you might give Microsoft Fix a try, it fixed my problem.....

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.

I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder. I have never had a problem with this before. This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder. Nothing happens.
I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available. It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
I have never had this problem before. It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
I really appreciate it.

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.
