Dying IBook G4-Use External HD Possible
My barely two year old G4 made a series of ungodly noises, then booted up with the dreaded question mark. I rebooted the next day and all was well, but I know the clock is ticking. After buying a new drive, I looked at the guide to installing it and wet myself twice. I've assembled IKEA furniture that was less intimidating. That said, I do have an external drive and was wondering if it was possible to migrate my information over to that and have that always be my startup drive, bypassing the dying internal. Is that possible at all? Granted, it no longer is as portable being tethered to an external drive, but at 40GB, it was going to fill up soon anyway. Thanks
Hi poppaearl,
Yes, you can use the external as the boot drive provided it's a firewire drive. Just use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone yout internal to a bare external drive and select it in System Preferences>Startup Disk.

Old computer dying want to use external drive with new laptop ........... HOW ??
need to get laptop to run my iTunes library from old dying comp. Have a 500gb external drive but what do i do ??
okay, i had to collect my thoughts for a moment
... but I don't have an internal library of music on this machine.
is *this machine* the new Mac ?
How do I set up iTunes to play from an external library for the first time?
the files will have to be added to iTunes. however, with the correct settings, they can be put straight on the external.
in order to set up iTunes on the new Mac, you will have to launch it. with the external drive mounted on your new Mac's desktop, go iTunes > preferences > advanced and point +iTunes media folder location+ to the external. this will cause iTunes to put all newly added content in that location.
also on the advanced tab, check +keep iTunes media folder organized+ and +copy files to ... when adding to library+.
And how do I add my backed up music from my previous iTunes to that external drive's new music library?
did you back up the music to disk ? if so, you should probably authorize iTunes with your iTMS account details, then just pop in the disk(s) and add the content to your library.
if you have backed up to an external HD, use the +add to library+ command from the file menu and navigate to the folder containing your media files.

Is it possible to use External Defiantion in Interface Mapping?
Hi Experts,
Is it possible to use External defination in Interface mapping? I used this ED in Message Mapping but I am unable to use the same ED for Interface Mapping?
In order to create Interface Mapping I need to create Message Interface and use it in Interface Mappiong?
Thanks
RajeevHi Rajeev,
External definitions is for importing avaliable external DTD,XSD or WSDLs instead of creating them in XI environment maually by creating elements under datatypes,assigning them too Message types and Message Interfaces etc.Where as you fo for Imported Archives to import externally done Mapping programs like JAVA,ABAP and XSLT mappings but not define Mesage interfaces.
So you can create message interface import appropriate External definition into it.Later use it during interface mapping.Hope you understand it.
Thanks,

If I used external hard disk for back up time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can do this, but you should make a new volume on your external disk. Time Machine needs a volume that is only used to store backups, so you can't store other data in the same volume as the one you are using for making backups.
If you want to create another volume on your external disk, use Disk Utility to do this > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Anyway, you should get another external disk to store other files, but if you don't want to, you can create another volume in it -
Possible? Using External Definitions for data type/message type definitions
Hi all,
i want to use external definitons in my own data type definitions. Is that possible? And if yes, how?
I imported many definitions via a mass import. Now I also want to use these definitions for further interfaces (than the imported ones). The most convenient would be of course to just use them as a custom created type. Can I somehow "convert" an external definition to a data type/message type?
KR
FelixHello Felix,
The External defination which you has been imported that cant use in DT and MT but yeah you can use this in Service interface.
you cant modify that External defination if you want to do that then 1st of all modify it and then reimport it as an another external defination.
and creating service interface with this ED you can use it in your message mapping .
i hope this will help to you to clear your doubt.

Move the iBooks library to external/different hard drive?
Hi! Is it possible to move the iBooks library from its default location on the boot drive (where the iBooks-application also resides) to a different hard drive?
Currently all my ebooks and PDF’s are kept in the default „Books“-folder in the home-library on the SSD-boot-drive of my Mac where the iBooks application is also kept by default (path: Users/„username“/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBo oks/Books). Space is getting narrow on my SSD-boot-drive so that I would like to free up approximately 20 GB by moving the entire iBooks library to a second internal HDD-drive of my Mac or to an external USB-drive.
I have not been able to find any instructions on the internet on how to move the iBooks library nor have I been successful in any of my experiments to move the „Books“-folder. What I have tried is the following:
1. I moved the original PDF-files away out of the „Books“-folder to a different drive and placed aliases from these files in the „Books“-folder. The result is that the iBooks-application will simply re-create a full size copy of the original PDF file in the „Books“-folder. I.e. no saving of disk space!
2. I copied the „Books“-folder from its default location in the user library on my internal SSD-boot-drive to a second internal HDD-drive, erased the „Books“-folder at the original location and instead placed a hard link at the original location. I verified that the hard link is working and pointing to the right location on the second drive. The result is that the iBooks-application will not recognize/show any of the PDF-files at the new location. Trying to re-import the missing PDF-files into iBooks results in the message „This book is already in your library. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re adding?“. By clicking on „Yes“ the same message returns infinitely often. I.e. no successes!
3. I repeated the same procedure as described above under 2. using the „iBooks“-folder which encloses the „Books“-folder (along with three other folders) with the same results as before. I.e. no successes!
(path: Users/„username“/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks)
Does anyone know how to successfully move the iBooks library to external/different hard drive?
Does anyone have links to internet discussions about this problem?
Regards BJBI was in on the Mavericks beta, when iBooks was introduced. You can not believe me if you want but it isn't currently possible to store the iBooks library on external storage at this time. The ebooks must be on the path ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books for iBooks to function properly. Any other method you may find to accomplish what you want will be unapproved and could break at any time.
You may submit your polite feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks_ios.html -
How can I use external clock to implement a delay?
Hi all,
I am testing to use external clock to drive dev/PFI0 (on device 6711) which is used as the clock for the analog ouput. I have thinking two applications by using the external clock but I don't have much idea on the implementation yet.
First of all, I have a sequence of data (array) with each sample being sent at the interval of 1us. I use an external clock (10MHz) driving the PFI0 so it is pretty easy to achieve that goal. I am thinking what happen if I want each sampel being sent at different time. For example, if I have 5 samples, I want the first one sent 1us after the task start and wait 2us to send the 2nd sample, wait 5us to send the 3rd sample and wait 11 us to send the 4th sample, and wait 1us to send the last sample. Is it possible to achieve that based on the external clock?
Second question is about the delay. My code require ciritcal timing and the builtin delay doesn't behave very well because I am running in windows. I can increase the priority of the vi to highest, it helps a bit but still not perfect. I am thinking if it is possible to implement hardward delay based on the external clock. Any idea?Hello dragondriver,
To answer your first question, yes you could send data in that fashion. You would have to programmatically build a pulse train and use that to trigger the sending of data. The answer to the second question is essentially the same. You should be able to programmatically build a pulse train with a delay and use it as trigger to begin whatever operation you have.

=( My iBook is still dead!!! (with included symptoms of a dying iBook)
I bought my iBook last May2004. I loved my iBook and took really good care of it. After one year of usage, all of a sudden my iBook stopped working -- a month after my warranty had expired... It all started with the "sleeping problem" -- when it didn't want to go to sleep even after my lid was already down... there were even times when it got really hot in my bag because it didn't sleep... then sooner the problem got worst... it wouldn't boot normaly -- it would boot 1 out of 4 times of trying to boot-it-up... I also got the weird screen with different funky colors... then one day, all I hear is my iBooks fan when I press the power button... I brought it to the Mac Shop in the Philippines and they are charging me about P30,000 ($555-US) because they said it "might" be the logic board. I decided not to get it fixed here because I couldn't afford such amount... when I went to pick it up and got their invoice, their invoice mentioned "probable logic board failure"... the word "probable" kinda smells fishy... did they really check what was the problem?... ANYWAYS,... 5 after I took it back from the shop I decided to remove the battery and let it sit there for awhile...3 months after, I used my power cord to power up my laptop and used my boot cd to boot up my iBook...supprisingly, it worked... then I decided to shut my laptop off and get my battery charging... after my battery was fully charged, i turned my laptop on again and it was still working... , i unplugged my power cord and left my laptop running on battery and it still worked...BUT,... when I got tired of enjoying my again working iBook, I put my laptop in a sleep mode by closing its lid... then its LCD lights didn't automaticaly turn-off like usual even if the lid was already down... so I opened it again and pressed my space button to try to get it running but now it just went to a blank screen... again, all I hear is a fan when I turn it on and that was the last of it working... what's up with my beloved iBook?... I personaly know 7 other people (friends)experiencing the problem -- not including those I've meet in the internet -- you don't wanna know how many they are. PLEASE HELP! MY iBOOK is still DEAD!!!!!!
Note: Phrases that are underlined and are in bold letters are the usual symptoms of a dying iBook G4. Believe me. I've search all over this discussion board since 2005 and all I see are people expressing their deep sorrow and grief about their dead iBook G4. I miss me iBook so much and all that is in it. It is still sitting in my bag waiting to be resurrected. A few days ago I planned to get a MacBook because I really missed my iBook, but upon stumbling upon this Discussion Board again, I still feel much dissatisfaction from both old and new users of iBooks and MacBooks -- from the same logic board issues. I dare you find it out yourself by surfing around this Discussion Board.
To those who are in my shoes: "I feel your agony"
To those who's iBook still works: "You're one of the lucky few...but just wait...huh."
To those who are planning to buy one: "True. iBooks and MacBooks are really cool with very cool design and very good OS. But my friend, think it over plenty of times. Im not telling you to not buy one but its really painful to wake-up one day and your beloved iBook/MacBook is DEAD and its now just as useful as a paperweight or probably a doorjam or maybe even a cutting board. Believe me, I know."
Unless APPLE would decide to backup their systems with a 3year warranty(WHY NOT?), I wouldn't....
Mr. Steve Jobs, Sir, with full respect, that's my dare to you.

How to remove namespaces in mapping when using External Definition
Hi,
I read in the blog (/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/12/05/how-to-remove-namespaces-in-mapping--xi) that you are able to remove namespaces in mapping by deleting the value from XML Namespace under the Message Type. However, is it possible to do this when you are using External Definition (xsd) ? The blog only describe how to do this if you define a Data Type.Hi ,
No ..it is not possible to remove the namespace once you imported into IR of external defintion.You can remove your namesapce from external definition before importing into IR.

I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drive to die before i use the other drives? Or, what is the best way to handle this?
I do not know what you are waiting for.
I'd make a backup of your important stuff before cloning the entire disk.
Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external firewire drive. You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs! -

This file is well played by PS3 Media Server.
I am quite confused with this issue ; did anyone experienced the same thing ?
Best Regards,Having the same problem. I'm watching all of my movies without subs now, because transcoding kills the 5.1 audio (no problems with 2 channel audio). A workaround is posted in the comments of the pms-svn package.
I will post the URL to this thread to another thread with probably the same problem (mplayer/x264). I have not yet seen a real solution to this, and I'm not really familiar with the bugzilla's from both projects.
Other threads with similar problems:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112219 (devede also uses mplayer and x264)
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22654 (related bug in Archlinux)
http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1865 (related bug in mplayer)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115165 (this thread)
Another workaround might be to trick pms into using ffmpeg or vlc rather than mencoder. I'm also streaming to a ps3 - I didn't try it, but it could be as easy as temporarily changing settings inside the profile for a ps3-client.

How to load external data without using external tables
Hi,
I'm asked to develop an ETL for loading external data into a database but, unfortunately, the vers. is 8i so I can't use external tables.
I know that it's possible by using SQL-Loader. What I want to know is whether there's another way in 8i to load external data from a text file or a CSV file directly with a stored procedure without having to write CTL of SQL-Loader on the server. I mean, is there a way to write everything on the database the same manner I'd do whether I wrote data from a table to a file using for example UTL_FILE or the unique way is to write control files of SQL-Loader directly on the server?
Thanks!Mark1970 wrote:
Thank you very much Karthick
I didn't know I could use UTL_FILE also for reading files. I've always use it only for writing data into external files.Yes you can use UTL_FILE to read. The version of oracle you are using i last used in 2004 :) Still remember giving the OS path of the file to open the file. That is long gone now. Its surprising that you are still in 8i. -
Identity Server using external LDAP
anyone have idea whether ID Server can use external an LDAP server for authentication, like the Policy Server in Portal Server 3 ?
Wilson.You typically need to use our JNDI store. We strongly recommend this for
performance reasons..
You can use the JNDI To LDAP bridge which is available from the sun web
site.

news:[email protected]..
I'm trying to find out if it is possible to re-direct JNDI calls to the WL
server to an external LDAP server. I know you can install an external LDAP
server for security purposes, but I would like to use an external LDAP
server to handle all JNDI lookups (like for JNDI EJB name location, etc.).
Is this possible? -

Hi again.
Is it still possible to use external libraries when developing applications for Handhelds on Mobile 7.1 (eSWT)? Or do we have any restrictions here?
Thanks,

as long as your have POJOs it should be ok to use them still.
