Firewire Help For Total Lamebrain Needed

I have an iMac that has been having problems and have purchased a Firewire HD. I transferred my information over to the external, but I don't think I've done it correctly. Someone suggested that my main operations program (I think that's what they called it) was not on the Firewire HD. I want to boot up from my Firewire for now until I can get the problem with the internal HD resolved. However I need to know how to put the system I need on the Firewire in order than I can boot up from there. I have been having to start up my computer using a "safe" boot because of kernal panics. I am in the process of straigtening that out, but I need to use the computer for a couple of hours using the Firewire. I hope this makes sense. As I mentioned I am a total lamebrain and if someone has the step by step way to do this and can help me out I will bake my next cake in your honour. Thank you in advance.

You can do as suggested and user superduper (or carbon copy cloner) to replicate your internal drive to your external. If the issue you are having with your internal is software related, you might just end up moving the problem over to your firewire drive.
You can always just use the install dvd and do a new system install onto you firewire drive. This way you will be sure not to move you problem over from the internal drive. If you do this, you need to format your firewire drive using disk utilities (in the application/utility directory). There is an option you need to select to allow the firewire drive to boot the system. It is the partition scheme called GUID.
Either way you go (superduper or new system install), you need to format the firewire drive to the guid scheme.
Hope this helps.

    Here is how my program has been written.

    CURSOR xyz
    BEGIN
    FOR xyz1 IN xyz LOOP

  • C or C++ compiler (or even editor with some help) for OS X needed

    Hey,
    I would like to learn C and C++ and am looking for a compiler for OS X that generates executable files. An editor that helps you a bit would be even better. Does anybody know any kind of software for this? Maybe even freeware?
    Thank you,
    Jerome

    It's called Xcode. It's supplied by Apple with every machine on the OS install Disc.
    Put your OS X install disc in the drive and look for the developer tools package. It might be in a folder like 'Optional Extras'.
    ...or if you can't find your disc (or just want a newer version) you can get it from http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html, but you need to create a free account.

  • Problems with starting jstart.EXE (help for/from anyone needed!)

    Dear all,
    the last days I have spent some time trying to install CE7.1 and also CE711 EHP1. The installation itself worked great: no errors were reported during intallation. But somehow the instance CE1 never starts up completely. As I have found out, and so do many many many others, the problem lies in starting "jstart.EXE" (Please check your SAP Management Console: CE1 => matrix 0 => Process List).
    The following behaviours I have monitored:
    1. When trying to start the CE1 instance jstart.EXE tries to start but stops after a while. So the J2EE Server is not started. This behaviour is monitored and reported by many posts here at SDN, but it seems that "final" solution has been posted, which is valid for anyone. At least non of the hints could help me.
    2. I have monitored that the status of jstart.EXE seems to hang at status "Starting the processes" (I have waited more than 25 minutes).
    To all the experienced and anyone else:
    PLEASE post all you hints here! This issues seems to be a very common issue and is not really solved. Other posts did not help me so far.
    In my case (case 2 from above) I can provide the following information:
    Today (December 3rd, 2008) I have installed CE7.1_SR5. Hardware requirements are fullfilled by 100%.
    I have to mention that I have installed some old CE or NW J2EE version on the same system like about one year ago, and I uninstalled it after only one week.
    Maybe what the jstart.EXE problems are somehow related to the license: does the "uninstallation" leave some data back in the system, which could be used by later installs in order to check the license (wich is only a 90 day license)?
    Who can help?
    What is your experience with jstart.EXE?
    Any help is very welcome. I am sure not only for me!
    Thanks,
    Pars

    Hi,
    OK, if jstart in the "Process List" has status status "Starting processes" I guess what you have to monitor is the "AS Java Process Table". It should show which processes are being started at the moment.
    If I remember correctly the first in this list are offline deployment/bootstrap (which need to run to prepare the instance after updates). After that two processes should be started: the icm and server0 (if you have created more nodes there might be more serverX processes).
    So which one really fails? If it runs for long time and then goes down I suspect it might be server0 (that's the actual java server process). In this case you'll want to check for errors in <drive>/usr/sap/<SID>/JXX/work/_server0. files or the default trace.
    Another way to determine what goes wrong might be to check the <drive>/usr/sap/<SID>/JXX/work directory. If you sort traces by date you'll probably get some idea. dev_<process> are the jstart output, the std_<process> is the actual stdout of the process, if the process failed probably the std file contains some more information on why it happened.
    If you cannot find the problem is there a way to share the last files from the work directory. If it's a common problem we must identify and add it to the TS guide ...
    Best regards, dido

  • Little help for a novice - Need a ps script to list user with their email only.

  • SCCM 2012 Compliance 7 Customize for Total Updates Needed

    I can't find single report in SCCM 2012 that lists the total count of updates needed for each computer. This really irks me and many others as this and similar info was readily available with the old WSUS console. It also takes a lot more
    clicks to get the same info in SCCM (if SCCM even has it) as it did in WSUS. Anyway, I've decided to try to customize an existing report. I made a copy of "Compliance 7 - Computers in a specific compliance state for an update group (secondary)".
    Try as I might, I can't get the query to work right to create a field for number of updates required for each computer. I'd really like columns for Failed/Needed/Applied but I'll start with just Needed. Why they got rid of this in SCCM reporting baffles me.
    I have several SQL queries that pull this info for needed patches when run in Management Studio but I can't get them to work in a SCCM Report. Does anyone know how to do this?
    Ben JohnsonWY

    I'm looking at Compliance 1, 5, and 7. The closest to what I want is Compliance 7 but with a new column for "Required Updates". I have that column made but it's not populated. I have a "Required Updates" Dataset now inside this custom
    report. BUT the row of info in the table (computer name, last logon, etc) only lets you select fields from Dataset0. Where I'm stuck is how get to the "Required_Updates" field from the "Required Updates" dataset to appear in Dataset0.
    I've spent a big chunk of time trying to get the code from the two queries merged but I can't get it to work. The other option is to somehow get the field to appear in the row's field selection list (ie, read field from both datasets).
    Oh, and when I followed your steps above, I got the report created but it throws and "error during processing" error when I run it.

  • What is FireWire and what FireWire adapter do I need to use FireWire 800 for my portable external hard drive ?

    Hi guys, I'm new to Mac. I have a MacBook Pro 13" (late 2011) with Lion OS and Parallels 7 (Windows 7). My understanding is that there is FireWire connection / extension built in to the MacBook Pro already. I also have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex portable external hard drive 750GB USB2.0 and 3.0 (that can be used for PC and Mac). It states that the portable external harddrive is FireWire 800 compatible. The questions are (1) how does FireWire works ? (2) how do I use or activate FireWire 800 ? (3) is there any setup / setting changes I need to on my MacBook Pro ? (4) what FireWire adapter do I need to purchase to connect my portable external harddrive to my MacBook Pro ? Is it expensive ?
    I read a few articles online but they are too technical for me. They mentioned something about FireWire adapter with 6 pins or 9 pins. Not sure what that means. I'm totally confused. So any help, advise or guidance will be much appreciated. In Layman's term would be better. Thanks.
    How about Thunderbolt ? Is it compatible with the above external portable hard drive mentioned ? Do I need a Thunderbolt adapter for it ? How do I activate or use Thunderbolt ?

    Thanks, Clinton and Alberto.
    The below link is the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex portable external hard drive (product code STAA750302) that I have. It states that it features USB 2.0 or 3.0 plug–and–play connectivity and easily upgradeable to USB 3.0, FireWire 800 or eSATA. It only comes with a 18-inch USB 3.0 / 2.0 backward compatible cable.
    http://www.seagate.com/au/en/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/standard/ goflex/
    Based on the above, my understanding is that I need to buy a FireWire 800 adapter to connect to the portable external hard drive so that I can use FireWire 800 with my MacBook Pro. Is this correct ? Do I need to get a separate cable as well or can I just use the 18-inch USB 3.0 / 2.0 backward compatible cable that was provided in the box ? If so, what sort of FireWire 800 cable do I need to get ? 9 pin to 9 pin ? 6 pin to 9 pin ? Or 4 pin to 9 pin ?

  • Need help for array counting

    Any help for array question
    Hello to All:
    I want to tally or count some of the elements that I have in array but not sure how.
    I have for example: int myArray[] = {90,93,80,81,71,72,73,74};My objective is to tally all of the 90's, tally all of the 80's and tally all of the 70's.
    So, the result that I want to have would look something like the following:
    System.out.println ("The total tally number of 90's is " 2 );
    System.out.println ("The total tally number of 80's is " 2 );
    System.out.println ("The total tally number of 70's is " 4 );I do not want to add these numbers, just want to count them.
    Also I want to use a "forloop" to achieve the result intead of just declaring it at 2 or 4 etc..
    Any help Thankyou

    [u]First , This is not exactly what I have to
    do for homework. There is a lot more, a lot more
    involved with the program that I am working on.
    Second, this is an example, an example, an
    example of something that I need to achieve.
    Third, you are asking for a code, to me that
    sounds as if your asking for homework. Fourth,
    I did not ask for any rude comments. Fith, in
    the future please do not reply to my messages at ALL
    if you can not help!!!!
    Sixth, We did not ask for lazy goofs to post here.

  • Need help for flash builder

    i need help for flash builder 4 and papervison 3d. I need to create a slider with it ranges of value from 10 to 50 to adjust the camera values for the camera.fov and also need to create it for the yaw of the object from 0 to 360. I try to look for any slider event and classes in this program but cant find any, btw, i need to use the AS only project file.
    here is my codes:
    can you please tell me how i should modify the codes?
    package
        import flash.display.BitmapData;
        import flash.display.Sprite;
        import flash.events.Event;
        import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;
        import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapMaterial;
        import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Sphere;
        import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;
        [SWF (width="800", height="600", backgroundColor="0x000000",frameRate="30")]
        public class EarthBitmap extends BasicView
            private var sphere:Sphere;
            public function EarthBitmap()
                super(800 , 600);
                var earthmaterial:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial("../assets/Earth.jpg");
                sphere = new Sphere(earthmaterial,100,20,18);
                camera.fov = 25;
                scene.addChild(sphere);
                addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSphere);
            public function rotateSphere(evt:Event):void
                sphere.yaw(0.2);
                singleRender();

    Turn the click handler into a full on separate function. Then store all the views in an array and use Math.rand() to randomly choose one.
    Something like this:
    <fx:Script>
         <![CDATA[
              var questionsArray:Array = {question2,question3,question5,questionRed,questionGeography};
              function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent){
                   var randomProblem:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*(questionsArray.length));     //generates a random integer between 0 and the total number of questions in the array (arrays are 0-based)
                   navigator.pushView(questionsArray[randomProblem]);
         ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Button id="randomProblemButton" label="Next Problem" click="buttonClickHandler(event)" />
    Haven't tested that, but something along that line should work

    You haven't posted ANY 'java program' for us to help with.
    The forum is NOT a coding service. It is to help you with YOUR code.
    Post the code you have written and SHOW us (don't just tell us) how you compile it and execute it and the results you get. Then we can help you with any problems you are are having.
    If you need help understanding just what the program should be doing you need to ask your instructor to clarify the assignment.
