Do I need to change boot disk partition types - if so how?

I set my boot disk up with several partitions, one of which is the Apple_UFS partition type. I now want to be able to use if for Mac data files - pdfs, word docs, etc. (I'm running 10.4.11 on a powerpc - when I can afford an Intel macbook, I'll upgrade to Leopard).
I have some questions:
1) Will puttting Mac files on a Apple_UFS volume cause problems (rsource & data forks in files)? (If its OK, then skip to Q6 &Q7 which I'd like to know for future reference).
2) Should I change the partition type (to Apple_HFSX)? There's no data on it now, so that's not a problem.
3) Disk Utility won't let me change partition type, only change the name. Diskutil has the command " eraseVolume format name device", but I suspect that format is the current format, not a new format - please correct me if I'm wrong.
4) pdisk interactive mode has the "t" command which looks like what I want.
5) after the partition type is changed, I presume I then need to use newfs_hfs -
6) I am confused about the device/partition name - "diskutil -l" shows "/dev/disk0" with the partition I want to change as "disk0s11". "pdisk - l" shows "/dev/rdisk0" and the partition number as 11. The "newfs_hfs -h" gives an example of "newfs_hfs -v Untitled /dev/rdisk0s7". So in my case, is my device "/dev/rdisk0s11"??
7) I have an external firewire drive that also is partitioned. "pdisk -l" and "diskutil list" give different outputs - partitions 1-9 are the same on both (Apple stuff), but pdisk show several "Apple_Free" partitions that diskutil ignores - pdisk has 23 total partitions, hdutil has 18. So which number do you use for the disk-identifier?
Thanks for any help on this confusing matter.

The regular versions of PSE 10 have the same kind of automatic updating (just go to Help>Updates and let the updater do its thing) that full Photoshop has. You can update the raw converter in the app store version, but since apple requires that everything in app store programs has to live within the app package itself, the file paths are different, so unless adobe updates the whole program so you can update through the app store, the adobe updater doesn't know what to do. You can do it manually, but it's kind of complicated to dig everything out of the adobe update, not as simple as it was in older versions of PSE.
This thread over at the adobe forum gives you the general process for updating the app store version:

Need to change my main BT email address, but how?

I'd prefer a reply from an OFFICIAL BT Forum Mod if possible, please.
I need to change my main BT email address, but how do I go about doing this?
The address is being used as a spoofed address by spammers and I am getting non-delivery notices from the intended receipients' mail servers. Not the end of the world, but it's a PITA.
Normally, I'd just dump the address and create a new one, but this is the main address attached to my account, which I cannot just change.
Advice and/or help (FROM A MOD ONLY) would be appreciated. I've already tried the Contact Us from BT and the Online Chat thing, but both times got idiots from India who had no idea what I was talking about.
TIA.

Apple's customer support can certainly do that, but it is not necessary. AppleCare follows the product, not its owner.

How do change boot disk from single user mode?

My G5 hangs when booting at the blue screen while "Loading printing services...". Attempting to boot into safe mode only hangs at the grey gear screen. It will, however, successfully boot into single user mode. I've run fsck but no change in bootability. I have another disk in the machine that has Tiger on it. How do I change the boot disk from the single user prompt?

You can hold c and boot off the installer disk and select disk utility repair disk/permissions
or you can hold option to boot off Mac OS X on another drive, like a clone and run Data Rescue to recvoer your files.
It does sound bad, you can try going through these
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464
But I think you'll need a fresh install, hopefully you have been backing up/cloning to a external drive.

TA21888 No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key how can i fix this problem to may desktop mac?

No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key......thats the words always show every time i start may desktop mac

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Try starting your Mac holding the Option (Alt) key, so you should see all bootable devices on the screen. If you see the OS X volume, select it. After starting, open System Preferences > Startup Disk, and choose the OS X volume.
If you don't see anything, try holding the key after hearing the startup chime. If you still don't see anything, your hard disk could be damaged

I need to change my last name due to marriage how do I do this?

I just got married and need to change, I called a verizon rep but she told me she couldnt take care of that?

Best to go in store with your name change documents. Legal reasons They must verify which requires faxing documents. My wife went through this when we got married with her Verizon lines. Which I later took over.... Should Have Just taken it over in the first place lol

Need advice for erasing disk/partition

Hey everyone,
I currently have a Mac Pro that is partitioned with both Lion and Snow Leopard. I'm trying to un-partition the computer and wipe it clean - thinking of updating to Mountain Lion but would like to stay with Snow Leopard for now if possible.
I erased the Lion partition by using Disk Utility but now I'm wondering what the best way to clean the computer is.
When I go into Disk Utility and go to "Erase" it won't let me select Snow Leopard. I went to Disk Utility Help and it says "To erase your computer’s startup disk, you must start up from another disk, such as a Mac OS X installation disc."
This means that I need a hard copy of an OS installation disc before I can erase/clean Snow Leopard? Is it possible to buy the disc from Apple or are the OS systems only available for download through the app store now? Are they only selling Mountain Lion?
Any tips or advice here is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
~ Hugo

What is wrong with your 10.6 Snow leopard installation that it needs to be "cleaned"? Macs generally do not need to be cleaned, as they do not accumulate filth.
How did you get 10.6 snow Leopard onto your computer in the first place?
What model mac Pro ?

Disk utility- can't apply change to disk partition

I deleted the data on my bootcamp drive. When I resized the main hard drive the capture the freed up space, the "apply" button remained greyed out.

Disk Utility is not able to work with a BootCamp partition
In all likelihood you are going to have to completely reformat the disk drive back to a single partition again.
Of course since that destroys everything on the disk backup first.
Then install everything from scratch on the reformatted disk.

Change Boot Camp Partitions

hey everyone, no idea if this is the right place to put this but anyway.
I recently found a program called CampTune by PARAGON, I think that's it anyway....
I was wondering if anyone had any experience or knows about it.
I tried to dig around but couldn't find much. So is it safe? how would I use it? and would it work with windows 7 installed via snow leopard?
thanks.

Ok - I see. It's not as easy as I hoped for. And the thing is, that I fortunately haven't installed a lot of programs yet. So I think that I'll rather start over from the beginning... But thanks to the both of you. I got the answer that I needed ;o). Best regards from Ditte

My macbook pro hard drive died. I only have a windows hard drive and an old powerbook G4 which of course you can't use to create a boot disk for my macbook. How can I solve this?

I can't get app store on my old power book to download OS X, My macbook pro hard drive died and all I have is a windows hard drive, still has windows os on it, a 500 Gb USB drive and this power book. How can I get my macbook back up without spending money? Thanks

And what happens if the OPs Mac is of a newer version that came with a version of Snow Leopard above the 10.6.3 version that is on that Retail, meant for Upgrade, disc? Like if it came with 10.6.4/.5/.6/.7? That disc you linked to would not work.
He needs to contact Apple and get a replacement set of Original System Reinstall Discs. That is the only way he can be assured it will work and he would also get the iLife apps which he wouldn't buying that DVD disc you linked to.

The Snow Leopard DVD is $20 from Apple. You'll just have to wait a few days. BTW this is a full installer that works with any model computer that can run SL. Apple used to ship recovery/installation disks that were tied to specific computer models so that a 15" MBP installer disk coudn't be used on a 13" MBP computer. So you need either full installer or the recovery disks for your specific model.
And BTW, I have a 2009 13" MBP w/8GB RAM that is running Mavericks. With a 5400 RPM drive I used to experience a bit of beach balling (think hour glassing) but an SSD has given it new life. It feels now slower than the newest MBPs - it obviously benchmarks considerably slower but in everyday use it doesn't feel like a 4 1/2 year old computer at all.

/* Autopacman spelletje
Menno Hagens, I108

Autopacman.
Maak via overerving van de klasse Packman uit week 4 een nieuwe klasse 'AutoPackman'.
Deze klasse moet de volgende extra functionaliteit bevatten.
De kleur van de Packman moet kunnen worden ingesteld.
Er moet een methode komen die een willekeurige opdracht aan de Packman geeft.
(naarLinks, naarRechts, gaSneller, gaTrager, etc.)
Maak vervolgens een applet met vier Packmannetjes en ��n knop 'Beweeg'.
Als je op deze knop drukt, moeten alle Packmannetjes ��n stap in een willekeurige
richting doen.
Programmeer dit efficient met arrays en loops.
Als je na afloop nog moed hebt kun je de klasse en de applet zo aanpassen dat een
spel ontstaat, waarbij een Packman die op de positie van een andere komt, de andere
Packman opeet. Degene die overblijft heeft gewonnen.
