Coming from an iBook G4 and going to an iMac G5...

Hi people.
As the title states really! I'm really looking forward to it as my iBook is about 5 years old. It still works perfectly, but it's time for an update and for my photo editing, i need a bigger screen.
I have a few questions though. It's not really about the iMac i guess, just general-but as i'm migrating to an iMac, i guess it's the right place to ask?
I have a shed load of emails all organised into folders. I'm wiping the iBook before it's sold, so i wanted to know if there's a way the emails and folders can be transferred organised, how they are to the iMac once it's been set up. Or is this a no go option?
I notice too that in 10.5, there's a time machine program. I think i get the jist-if you have the 'Time Capsule', basically you can recover deleted files, correct? I'm looking to upgrade my current external drive to a larger capacity, so i'll have an 80gb Western Digital hard-drive spare. Would this be ok to use instead of the Apple time capsule or whatever it is, or does it have to be the Apple one?
And one more question: I do alot of Motorsports photography, shooting in RAW (10mp camera) etc. I do do a fair amount of editing of these photo's too. My iBook has only 640mb ram and is the 933mhz processor, but it is quite fast, although there is a little delay. Will the standard 1.0gb ram be fairly quick combined with the 2.4Ghz processor in the iMac or would it be advisable to upgrade to 2.0gb?
Thanks in advance!

Hello people.
Thanks for the info . I had to bite the bullet today. The local Apple Reseller in my area has not had any Apple desktops' stock for a while, but today they had a delivery, so i took the bull by the horns and went down there with a big wad of money! I came away with a 20" iMac, 2.4Ghz, 250gb & 1Gb Ram. Also got a 320gb MyBook to transfer my music on to. I'm really really pleased with it. I've not had it up and running yet, i want to organise everything first so i know what i'm doing.
Which leads me to this question. I checked out the 'Migration' info provided by Quadra, very helpful-thankyou, but i saw this question, which puzzled me, but only a tiny bit lol:
Q: *"When is the best time to transfer data to my new computer"?*
A: *"The best time is the first time you start your new computer."*
I just have to ask-i'm guessing it means the first time i start the computer after all the DVD's provded with the iMac have been installed? Sounds stupid i know, but i'd rather ask first!
Also, a question regarding the memory. Obviously i'll be buying from the Uk as it's where i live-with regards to memory upgrade, how does it work? I can physically see how to change it, but to upgrade mine from say, 1gb to 2gb, do i buy another 1gb, or do i remove the pre-installed 1gb and replace i with a 2gb?
Can't believe 1gb is standard-i paid mega £££ to get my iBook to 640mb 5 years ago! Computers eh?

  • Image coming from an xml source and on which we can't click...

    Hi everybody !
    Is it possible in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 (or in coming version of the software) to disable the click event on ImageField ?
    I read that it is not possible yet but there is may be another solution to proceed to have an image coming from an xml source and on which we can't click.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Yes , you can disable image field by setting acces value to readOnly.
    Example:
         imageField1.access = "readOnly";
    It works for Adobe Reader 9

  • HT201317 i have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    I have enabled photostream on my imac but only a small selection of old photos from my iphone have streamed through.  How do i get all the existing photos from both my iphone and ipad onto my iMac?

    This usually happens because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your phone until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your Mac you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    To get older photos to your Mac, create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  The be sure you check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream.  You can then import them to your iPhoto library by opening the shared photo stream album in iPhoto, then going to Edit>Select All, Control-clicking on any of the selected photos and selecting Import.

  • Sound is coming from the ear-piece and its really really low

    Title pretty much says it.
    My iPhone is acting really weird ever since this morning, sound isnt coming from the bottom speakers anymore but instead from the ear-piece and its really low.
    I tried resetting the phone with holding down the home and sleep button at the same time but its still the same.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Connect the headset to a computer or stereo or anything else with 3,5mm minijcack to see if the headset is ok of they work there then your headset is defect if not your phone is the problem

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.
    This one has a bit on Unlinking an iPhone Number (with or without the iPhone) iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

  • Audio coming from both TV Speakers and external soundbar - how do I suppress the TV audio output?

    Just after my warranty expired, my Toshiba 55TL515U started to play sounds through both the TV's speakers as well as outputting audio to my external Polk Audio soundbar, which is connected to the TV via the Digital Audio Output line. The TV never did this after I connected the external soundbar until a few days ago.
    I don't want any sound to come out of the TV speakers, I only want sound to come out of the soundbar. There's a horrible echo effect that occurs when both sound systems are active.
    I don't see a setting on any of the TV menus to control this. I would assume that if the TV senses an external audio device, it would no longer output any sound to the TV's speakers.
    Is there a setting on the TV I'm missing, or is this something broken within my TV?
    I called Polk Audio tech support, and they claim it's not a problem with the soundbar, but with the TV.
    If anyone can comment on this, I'd be very thankful.

    I have the same problem. When I mute the TV, I get sound only from Soundbar which is fine. But, everytime I turn on my tv, I had to mute my tv. And if I accidently press the volume button on TV, then both TV and Soundbar plays sound and that sucks.

  • Restoring T30 from recovery CD set and going round and round in circles!!!

    Hi!
    I bought an IBM ThinkPad T30 model 2367-8G3 from a computer fair which appeared to have originally been Scandinavian by the look of its keyboard!!!
    When I got it home I found it had a pirated copy of XP Pro VLK that practically every computer-fair reseller in the UK seems to use, so I wiped the HDD with a secure deletion tool and ordered a genuine set of three 2366/2367 Product Recovery CDs.
    The Recovery Program will run but aborts with a basic version of XP bit no IBM drivers, manuals or anything else, nor does it continue with CD2 & CD3 - if I reboot with CD1 again the Recovery Program will start, and pkunzip will execute the unpacking of innummerable files, from both CD2 & CD3 then ask for CD1 again and start with XP Text-Mode Setup ad-nauseum until I ended up with ***Six*** Boot Menu Entries for XP Professional, no IBM tools, drivers etc.,  on any ***one*** of 'em!!! Also there is ***No IBM_Service Partition*** either!!!
    1) Are the Motherboards locality - specific rendering a US/UK-set of Recovery cds useless?
    2) Somebody said it was a BIOS setting that caused this but didn't say what the setting-change needed was! I have upgraded to BIOS Version 2.10, Embedded Controller version 1.07.
    Has anybody solved this enigma, and if so can they please point me in the direction of a correct solution? I have Electronics Repair knowledge, so if there the motherboard has a locality-specific chip I can search for a dud one on ebay etc., and swap whatever it is that stores the localisation data!!!
    Many thanks,
    Chris Williams

    Chris, welcome to the forum,
    it sounds as though the drive hasn't been properly deleted. Even though you have "deleted" the drive I suggest you give Secure Data Disposal a try, using it at it's lowest level should suffice without writing a report to disc. Also make sure you reset your BIOS by selecting default settings and then in the BIOS Startup > Boot menu set the cd drive as first boot device.
    Hope this helps

  • Rattle coming from inside of Macbook - and now CD stuck

    Hi thanks for checking this out if you do.
    I woke up this morning and picked my Mac up and instantly noticed that there was a rattle sound whenever i tilted the mac. I know it isn't, but it sounds as if a coin has been put into the CD drive and is rattling along the top right to the middle inside the mac.
    I then did what i like to call: sumfing kinda stoopid. I inserted a CD to see if the rattling stopped and if the CD worked. The rattling was less intense but then the CD cannot escape. I've tried the startup mousepad trick but nothing has happened.
    I just don't want anything to threaten my huuuuge amount of important files.
    I have apple protection valid until september.
    Thanks,
    jack

    Since your computer is still under warranty, I think you should just make an apple store appointment.

  • Data coming from Three Applications and needs to post into SAP

    Hi all,
    i have scenario like
    XI needs to take data from 3 Applications and do some validations like data comparision of comman records and post the comman data among the three to SAP.
    Application1 will send text file and Application2 will send CSV file and Application3 will send xml file
    Ex:
    Application1:
    Emp No
    Emp Name
    Sal
    Location
    Application2:
    Emp No
    Emp Name
    Desgination
    Application3:
    Emp No
    Emp name
    Designation
    Location
    Now the Target data should be
    Emp No
    Emp Name
    Designation
    This is only the comman record which is there from 3 Applications.
    Regards

    Hi vamsi,
      As the experts mentioned above BPM is the way to achieve your business requirement.When you use BPM there is a step to wait till the 3 messages to come into XI to process furthur.Refer to the following links choose the one that is useful to you.
    Check this link for more information...
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0e/56373f7853494fe10000000a114084/content.htm
    take a look at this blog..
    /people/alexander.bundschuh/blog/2006/01/04/scheduling-messages-in-sap-xi
    For your case yes its not mandatory to create communication channels for each step if the inputfiles are same and from same system..Else you obviously need to create different communication channels for each different file more over you mentioned that files are coming from 3 different application and should be merged.So 3 communication channels are required.
    Refer the following link too to get better understanding on message merge
    Re: BPM - Message merge
    All the best,
    Ram.

  • Red glow coming from superdrive

    this may be a stupid question but here goes. i have looked through the forums, and googled this and have yet to find any mention of whether or not it's ok for there to be a red light (glow) coming from my superdrive when i'm burning. does this indicate a problem, or is this normal? i know about the red light coming from the headphone jack, and how that was a semi-issue, so i figured this might be a problem as well.

    The optical drive uses a 650 nm laser to burn discs - that laser is red in color (deep red, actually) and you are seeing reflected light from it. Normally, a set of felt pads block the opening of the superdrive and prevent light from escaping - these pads may be worn/damaged on your drive.

  • HT5953 How can I move my books from the ibook store to my Android device? I bought the book, so I have every right to move it as I see fit!

    The new Ibooks on Mac computers is about the worst thing to happen to Apple in a long time. I bought a book from the Ibook store, and I want to move it to my adnroid device. The thing is refusing to let me move my purchase. I mean, I used my money to purchase a BOOK. How does it make sense that I am limited in the movement of my book, somethng I purchased with my money? Can someone PLEASE explain how that is possible?

    First of all, you posted in completely the wrong section.
    It says right on the purchase page that you need an iOS device.
    The publishers want restrictions on what devices can read the books to make sure everyone pays.
    In any case, if you ask google there are lots of converters such as Epubsoft Ebook Converter
    I have never used it myself though.

  • Updating Serial numbers coming from third party at PGI

    Hi all,
          I have an requirement such that I need to update the serial numbers for a line item that are coming from third party system and these serial # needs to updated in the PGI processing of delivery.
    I have searched  in the SDN , but could not come these type of requirement. 
    Please any one call help me on this??
    Thanks in advance
    Ravindra

    Hi Ravindranath,
    To cater this requirement:
    1. Create a Z table for storing serial numbers with the link to delivery (means there will be some link with the serial numbers coming from third party and delivery in SAP)
    2. Go to change mode of include MV50AFZ1 for add code in subroutine USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_LIPS.
    3. In this subroutine fetch the serial number according to line item and delivery number; that you will get from LIPS.
    Pass the serail number to ANZSN field of LIPS.
    Hope it will solve your problem.
    Regards
    Krishnendu
