Can you place a g5 on its side to use?

i would like my daughter to use this G5 but it is too big for her desk unless we lie it on its side. Will this damage it or cause it not to work properly.

In the early days of hard drives, manufacturers stated they could be used in either a horizontal or vertical platter orientation. However, they recommended that you not change the orientation of the drive once in the "run in." Their concern was that, in a vertical position, the platter would wear its bearings more on one side. Not a problem if the drive stayed vertical but was if you decided to run it horizontally later.
I've not see this recommnedation in a long time so maybe drive makers have improved the bearings, but the Old Computer Fuddy-Duddy part of my psyche still has me worried about changing orientation after a drive has run in one position for a long time.

    I think you could but you wouldn't like what you see in Design View.   Why do you want to do this?

    How can you minimize or (turn) off the "side panel" in Web Intelligence in the view mode.
    It is possible to turn on/off options within the Side Panel by Customization of Groups.
    But it seems You cannot influence the way Web Intelligence present (minimized or Off) the Side Panel in the IE??
    Is there a solution for this??
    If not, it would be a nice property of a Web Intelligence document in a future release.

  • Crystal Report XI: Can you write your query in SQL instead of using the GUI

    Hello
      In crystal report version XI, can you write your query in sqlplus and then use the crystal report designer to build your report instead of using the GUI . I would like to be able to go database and show sql query and open that query and make changes directly there, is that possible on this version, if yes is there a setting somewhere? Please let me know.
    Thank you
    alpha

    Moved to Database forum.
    No you can no longer modify the SQL directly. Use a Command Object to enter the SQL directly.
    Thank you

  • Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart?

    Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart? I don't have AT&T or Verizon network and I don't want to get them but I was just wondering if you can get the iphone 5 that is at target and use it for the straight talk plan. I will be getting the straight talk plan but I would like to do some research on the iphone 5 first for straight talk. At walmart the phone is $544.99 and I think it will be a lot cheaper to buy it at target.
    Thank You!

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • I have never used Illustrator...can you give me step by step instructions to use your t-shirt template? I watched the tutorials, but they leave out basic information

    Can you give me step by step instructions to use the tshirt template for someone who has never used this program before

    a free trail of lynda.com could help
    lynda.com library | Trial Subscription
    You might also try adobe's set of tutorials.
    What you are asking is beyond the scope of this forum.
    It's sort of equivalent to asking for step-by-step instructions for using cruise control for someone who has never driven a car before.
    You will need to take some time to learn the program before you can successfully create work in it.

  • Can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?

    I would like to put music under my audio books and my question is "can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?"

    I am not aware of a way to play two songs at once in iTunes. However, at least on a Mac, you can definitely open and play multiple things in QuickTime player. Sooo, you could open a music file in QT Player then start it and start the audio book in iTunes. Or open the audio book in QT player and listen to that there while iTunes plays music.

  • Can a Mac pro tower be laid on its side for use

    Can a Mac Pro Tower be placed on its side and be used that way without any damage occurring?

    Yes. Did that with mine for years. Only issue was even though the Pioneer has a DVD "lip" to hold in place it was awkward at times.
    I use something like a coffee table. Put a rubber backed pad to absorb sound vibration, allows all those messy cables to go underneath (and curtain would be nice too).

  • Can you place linked files into Photoshop CS4?

    If you place a .psd or .tif file into an InDesign file, you are alerted if any changes are made to that file (as I'm sure most of you know). Is there any way to do this within Photoshop? I have several dozen carpet sample .tif files that are to be used in several hundred "montage" type "carpet sample groups" layered .psd files that will then be saved as images for the web (does that make sense?). Is there any way to do this so that if there's a change in the original .tif file it will automatically change any .psd file in which it's being used? I know the easiest way to do this is in InDesign, but I have two problems: 1) the conversion from InDesign to a web image is laborious, and 2) the person doing the work does not know InDesign at all. I can show him how to use it, but that's a small part of the battle.
    Any suggestions? I'm using CS4 for Windows.
    Thanks,
    Lloyd

    Thanks for your comments. The problem arises because we have to create that intermediate Photoshop step.
    We have, say, a dozen individual carpet swatches that are used to create hundreds of combinations (which are all separate layered .psd files). If one swatch changes (color, for example), then we have to open every .psd file in which that swatch appears and change it (or place the changed one). I'd love to be able to change the original and have it update every layered file in which it appears, just like InDesign does with placed/linked files.
    Maybe there's a plug-in (wishful thinking)?
    Also, I'd really like to have it changed in the web development end of things, but we're working with a company that is (obviously) using templates and we can only give them single images, hence the need to create the intermediate Photoshop files.
