Can I run 9.2.2 without an OSX drive on board?

I am getting strange results on my Beige Tower running 9.2.2 (G3-366 MHz, 640 Mb ram, 6 Mb Vram, 30 gig Maxtor ATA HFS+, PCI ATI Rage 128, PCI XClaimPRo, PCI USB - not used, AppleTalk 1.1, AppleShare 3.9.2, CarbonLib 1.6, QuickTime 6.0.2).
When I use the Chooser to AppleShare connect to another machine (G4 mirror door) a type 1 error occurs and the finder notifies me to quit running applications and restart. I was getting a type 2 error the same situation but cured that by turning off the RAM disk.
After I restart, the program MyInvoices, operates incorrectly.
Can I run 9.2.2 without an OSX drive on board? I recently moved the hard drive from a G3 beige desktop with another drive running Jaguar. I use this machine for QuarkXpress production work and invoicing.
I was thinking I should wipe the drive and downgrade to 9.1. If I do, what formatting should I use for the hard drive (HFS+)?

The G3 beige now starts and runs without making the breaking glass sound.

How can i run the example programme without hardware

Hi,
We are using NI-9233 for our Project. We would like to run the example programme, the NI-9233 getting started(host).vi ... I would like to ask that how can i run the Programme without Hardware.& How shall i get the input signal (simulating signal)?because we would like to test it while we are waiting for the hardware to be delivered .
thanks
Best regards

As Mike indicated , " you can use MAX to simulate some (not all) DAQmx devices. There's a NI-USB-9233 device that you can probably use. Open MAX, then expand "My System", the expand "Devices and Interfaces", then right-click on "NI-DAQmx Devices" and select "Create New NI-DAQmx Device -> NI-DAQmx Simulated Device". Select the device from the list. See the online help for MAX for further help.
If you don't see "NI-DAQmx Devices" in MAX you need to install NI-DAQmx. You can download it from NI here. "
hi,
the link you gave me to download is "NI-DAQmx Devices" ... There is no software to download for Labview 8.2.1. So should i use 8.1 or 8.3 instead of 8.2.1 ? If not, can you tell me the CD no. that includes the "NI-DAQmx Devices" folder of Labview 8.2.1 version? Because we can get the cd from our school's component store. Thank you so much.

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

Can a T520i that was configured without an mSATA drive have one added?

I have a T520i (4242 4UU) that was configured without an mSATA drive. Can I add one to it and migrate my Windows (7 Pro 64 bit) partitions to it? (My HD has apparently lost on of the windows partitions so I'll have to do a full installation anyway). Will I have to get drivers first to support the 4 kilo-byte sectors? (my T520i was originally purchased in November 2010 and AFAICD, Lenovo did not add the ability to handle 4kb sectors until December 2010) or will just upgrading the BIOS suffice? Is there any way to upgrade the BIOS from a DVD or USB zip without a hard disk or operating system functioning? If not, will I have to first install a temporary HD, install windows, upgrade the BIOS and THEN migrate windows to the mSATA? Am I correct in assuming that the new SATA III mSATA SSDs with be backwards compatible with a T520i?

Hi
You can perform BIOS upgrade from CD/DVD media:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t520i/downloads/DS018809
Prepare that media on any system with CD/DVD drive attached.
You can install new system on the msata drive from scratch or by entire HDD cloning.
4k sectors trouble isn't actual for modern (upgraded) system and drives.
msata drives with SATA III interface are backward compatible with T520 msata slot.
Note the drive should be in the msata formfactor, not modern m.2.

Can we Run 10g Forms & Reports without Application Server

Currently We are using form 5 and reports 3.5
we are willing to upgrade .
we are told that we can upgrade only to 10g developer suit
and for that Application Server is must
Our requirement is for LAN based application only
Do we have to go-in for application Server
DOes the 10g forms and 10g reports have Form server /report server which can help us to run application using Browser but without IAS
CK

Chaand,
for production environments you must run Forms and Reports through Oracle Application Server as there no longer is a client-server runtime. For development puposes tehre is a HTTP server in Oracle Developer Suite that is used to run both servers.

How can I run an external program without quitting Firefox?

I want to run an external program from within Firefox, much as Outlook express is run from the email button. How do I set this up?
Firefox doesn't import my Bookmarks from the listed html file. Any cure for this?

I don't want to run the mail program, I want to run another program.
Maxthon allows me to do this using External Tools. Does Firefox allow me to run other programs without leaving Firefox?
2. Firefox allows me to load an html file which contains my bookmarks, but it doesn't load the bookmarks file. is there a solution?

Can I run my HP Laptop without battery if it cannot be removed (mechanism battery access jammed)

I don't know if my first message got posted, so I apologize if this is a double post:
Hi. I have an HP Laptop from 2008. I had to replace the battery last year. Stupidly, I kept the Laptop plugged into A/C. The battery started losing power a week or so ago, losing 2-3 % daily. Today it is at 45%. Problem is-I cannot remove the battery-the mechanism allowing access to battery is now jammed. Is there anything I can do to preserve my Notebook? I should add I am somewhat new to technology (as of 2008) and middle-aged. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Yes you can, the risk is w/o battery when having main (AC) problem specially losing power suddenly data on HDD may be corrupted.
Regards.

Re: Can I run JMF in linux without X

I've just installed JMF for Linux last night.
I have it working on a Win 98 system.
I "think" X-Windows loads the display drivers ? Not sure though.
I've an old ATI All-in-Wonder video capture card, and think I have to
upgrade from X Windows 11 Release 6, to a newer version to use the
new Linux Graphics drivers for my card under the Gatos project in www.Sourceforge.net.... ( For video-in capture, not necessarily video display )
Hope some of that vague information helps...

Yes, you can. However, you must have the Mac OS 9 System Folder installed on your hard drive.

Since I installed yosemite I get a window to install legacy JAVA SE 6 RUNTIME and can't run ADOBE Illustrator Cs6 without it .

So anything LEGACY means it is probably not supported and chocked full of security issues.
what JAVA flavor do I need to install?
WHat do I do ?
I have a lot of work to do...
thanks in advance

Hi,
Try this:
Download Java for Mac OS X 2014-001 from http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572.
Install the Java update using the downloaded .dmg file.
When installation is complete, a Software Update dialog box appears. The dialog box asserts that Java SE 6 Runtime is required to run Adobe Illustrator CS6.
In the Software Update dialog box, click Install.
Launch Illustrator.
In Adobe Illustrator CS6 some plug-ins has dependency on Java, therefore Java is required for them to function properly.
With Best Regards,

Can the iMac G5 be used without an internal drive?

I bought a used iMac G5 1.9GHz as a second computer for my wife. It was a steal but it also came with some issues. After spending a few days trying to install the OS without any luck I'm not sure what my options are. The Apple Hardware Test that comes on Tiger reports a Mass Storage Error. I've gotten 2 different ones with 2 different hardrives: 2STF/4/3: S-ATA Bus 0 - Master and 2STF/8/3: S-ATA Bus 0 - Master. However when I put both hardrives in a USB box and test them on my other mac, they both come out clean and error free.
While trying to install Leopard I get a little ways and then get a Kernel Panic - "You must restart your computer..." I'm suspecting the issue might be the HDD controller.
Can this computer be run without an internal HDD and only a firewire one? I was thinking of just removing the internal drive altogether and buying a firewire box. Is this possible?

I opened it up for umpteenth time, unplugged the hardrive and it started beautifully. I think (visualize me typing with my fingers crossed) I've solved ALL my other problems as well. It no longer gives me kernal panic errors, firewire works consistently and I finally managed to get the OS installed.
I'm actually thinking that I can install a drive in there with a small firewire controller board I have (there is room for in up in the top corner). Take the SATA power cable, change the plug on it and wire it into the IDE drive and firewire controller then run a short fw cable through the bottom of the case, around the back and just plug it into the fw in the back. Then I wouldn't need to purchase a fw case.
Thanks for all the help.
