G5 doesnt boot- common tricks seem not to work

hi,
today I found a suspicious folder on my HD with a 3letter name I had never seen before, after seraching through it and finding several folders (share, lib, bin etc) I found an item called instanthijackserver. i moved the whole folder into the trashcan, moved a sinlge file called .raw on my desktop and then decided, to move the whole folder back on to the desktop. then my browsers startet to act up (google told me about a spelling check error when I tried to enter search words and firefox wouldn't even start), so I shut the computer down. since,
my ppc doesnt get past the grey apple when booting, then the vents go off crazy.
I have tried:
-start up from Install Disk with holding C while turning on
-holding ALT while starting, selected HD and Install Disk (after doing that i get prohibitory sign)
-safe mode
-single mode: can't type anything (fsck)
-open firmware mode: can type, did the nvram and pram reset, nothing changed
-unplugged it, took out the battery and started without, then again with
-did the cuda reset
nothing gets me past the grey screen
i get the following after entering verbose mode:

anyone witha a good idea??

You could do that, but suggest you insure no Disk Corruuption first, this can be Done in T mode also without booting from the Install Disc...
Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc , then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Sorry but that makes no sense at all. How can they possible know what things will possible malfunction on your device? Anything that they think is highly likely to malfunction they would have addressed in desiging and manufacturing the device in the first place, during development. They've made and sold many millions of iPhones, and many of them have lasted years without any problems (I know, I've owned such iPhones personally). So how could they possible know if yours was any more likely to develop any issues than any of those other trouble free ones?
It's hardware - stuff sometimes breaks randomly. No amout of money ever guarantees or even reduces the likelyhood of random product failures.
Take it in to Apple and see about getting it fixed.

AirDrop on iOS devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod touches) can only AirDrop things with other iOS devices. AirDrop on Mac can only AirDrop things with other Macs.
I hope this solves your question.

I downloaded iMovie 11 butit seems not to work with IDVD6. Do I need to get the Newest IDVD? Which IDVD is the latest and where do i download it from?

I downloaded iMovie11 but it seems not to work with iDVD6. Do I need to down load the latest IDVD?

Where do I download it from?
You need to use iDVD 09 or iDVD 11. These are only available on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

My select select statement seems not to work...

Hello experts,
I am having trouble with my select statement below. Here is what I need to do:
1. loop at itab it_equz.
2. get single asset number(ANLNR) and description(SHTXT) from table ITOB where EQUNR =_equz-equnr.
3. get single asset number(ANLN1), asset subclass(ANLN2 and subnumber(ORD42 from table ANLA where its asset(anln1) equals to the asset fetched by ITOB. (no. 2 step) and DEAKT eq '00000000'
4. Now, I would get all fields(select single) in table ANLC where ANLN1 equals to asset fetched by ANLA and ANLN2 equals to ANLN2 fetched by ANLA and AFABE eq '01'.
5.endloop.
Now, the problem is that I can't seem to get the right values in table ANLC. Now, my boss said that the values that I must get in ANLC must not be deactivated. So I did that by getting the required fields(no 3 step) in table ANLA where its DEAKT is equal to '00000000'.
Now, my select statement for ANLC seems not to work properly since I have the proper where conditions. Anyway, below is my select statement that I did:

Hi,
Please avoid selection in loop. it will lead to major performance issue.
avoid move statements ; instead use assignment.
1st :- select the entire data into internal table
eg:-
SELECT anlnr shtxt FROM itob
INTO table it_itob
for all entries in it_equz
WHERE equnr = it_equz-hequi.
1st select
2nd select.
2nd :- now loop on ur internal table to get the desired result.
it is good to work with internal table rather than select statements in loop.

I find it extremely frustrating that Apple does not care for such an obvious bug affecting one of the basic funcionalities of AirPlay. Unless, of course, if there's something I don't know - but I've done some research and it seems that plenty of people have same issue and no solution is settled.

HT4437 Is it possible to zoom in photos when using airplay? It seems not to work at all. I can only zoom in if i use mirroring and even then i have to reconnect mirroring each time I chage an albumor even go from the photo to the album level.

HT1522 I have a mid 2011 iMac running Lion, and the remote seems not to work at all!

Have been trying to pair my Apple Remote with my mid 2011 imac.
Nothing doing, although if I go and try same remote with an older macbook, it works fine.Battery all fine too, have been checking via digital camera. Something on my iMac is preventing this remote form being seen (and yes I have disabled ir receiving on the laptom after testing it)
any ideas?
thanks for your time!!

Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

Why does the highlight feature seem not to work about 1/2 the time in various ibooks. I'm trying to take notes and about 50 pages into a book the highlight feature stopped working.

I've long noted that the highlight feature in ibooks is clunky and fairly limited in it's note-taking features, but the last two books I've read I've had trouble getting the highlight feature to work at all. I click and drag over text and nothing happens. I try with command depressed and nothing happens. If I double click a bunch it will eventually highlight one word, but nothing more. What gives?
Also, not to be snarky, but why can't I seem to find a button that would read text to speach for me? How do blind people use this service, or illiterate, or dyslexic, or people like myself who can learn far more from hearing then from reading.
And why does the text of a book often render so that it's haf cut off of the page?

There is a button for speech within the iBooks menu. Edit > Speech. You might be better off buying Audiobooks. You can get them from the iTunes Store or Audible.com

Smart folders seems not to work with star rating. Is there a fix?

I Rate photos with a five star rating either on iPhoto or Adobe Bridge CS5. When I create a smart folder setting the search attribute to "Rating equals 5" nothing appears on the search.

Sorry,
I think I misunderstood your question. You were talking about smart folders in the Finder and not about smart albums in iPhoto, right? "Rating equals 5" does not work on any of my machines, neither in Snow leopard nor in Lion. The problem seems to be how to represent the rating in the search string. If I search for "Rating is not 5" the smart folder contains plenty of pictures, also those with a rating of five. Does anyone know how the rating is coded to be used in a search string in the Finder?

The usb ports on my mac book air seem not to work

So, they do but it seems selective. On my 2008 iMac I would plug in my thumb drive and it was near instant but on my MBA ill plug it in on the right side and it rarely works but my mouse works fine there. On the left side it takes a few seconds then it works but it seems longer than my older macs. This computer isn't old about a week old, so ideas. Its not a mounting issue it dosen't show up in the disk utility, until it works.

Scripts in /etc/profile.d seem not to work under certain circumstances

While already logged in, if I open up a terminal and run a script in /etc/profile.d/ to set environment variables, the changes don't seem to take. I can think of two examples:
1) Turning on KDE4 desktop integration in openoffice. I edited /etc/profile.d/openoffice.sh and changed OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=KDE4, but when I ran the script I got an "export: command not found" error.
2) When replacing Sun Java with OpenJDK in order to compile and use 389-console from the AUR, I got caught up on one of the dependencies, ldapjdk (also from the AUR). The PKGBUILD for this package contains the following block of code:
which ant
if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
. /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh
fi
ant dist
In theory this should work, as /etc/profile.d/apache-ant.sh contains the following two lines:
export ANT_HOME=/usr/share/java/apache-ant
export PATH=$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin
However, upon running makepkg I got an error about "ant" not being in my path. To get around this I just edited the PKGBUILD and put the full path to ant, but this shouldn't have been necessary. The original PKGBUILD should have worked. I seem to have something out of whack and I don't quite know what. If anyone could be of assistance, it would be much appreciated.

I'm well aware of this. I never said that I started openoffice from the plasma menu. I never even started it. /etc/profile.d/openoffice.sh errored out without setting the environment variable in the current shell session. If it had worked, I would have been able to run openoffice from the terminal to test the new environment variable, which is what I was intending to do in the first place. There's no need to logout to test these sort of changes, they can be done from the terminal.
Your solution also doesn't address the problem I had in example #2, either. makepkg should be able to set environment variables in the current shell session, using the /etc/profile.d script detailed in the example. Running makepkg has nothing to do with my graphical session.
I know that logging out and back in will "fix" the problem, but that's not the point. The point is that a script which should be able to set an environment variable is not working properly.

SQL Concat function seem not to work properly in SQL query data model. BIP 11g

I try to use this function to show entire name CONCAT(name, ' ', surname) and it doesnt show the surname. it looks like it only tooks 2 arguments. I use it with the option "Add element by expression" within a SQL Query - Data set.
Lucia

i don't believe you
please post more info, may be screen or sql or some more useful statement
CONCAT(name, ' ', surname) and it doesnt show the surname
may be because for some case "surname" is empty or may be you incorrect use concat function
one way mentioned by BluShadow is " || " operator - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/operators003.htm#SQLRF51156
and another is concat function http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/functions026.htm#SQLRF00619
so for your case it can be like
CONCAT(CONCAT(name, ' '), surname)

Language support seems not to work as it used to

As I recall it used to be that you could turn any version of Project into a foreign one by downloading the language. I have done this before for example for French, German, and Brazilian Portuguese, I think using project 2010 and
Windows 7.
I am now trying to do it for Swedish, using Windows 8. I have tried both 2010 and 2013 and in both cases Swedish shows up on the File/Options/Language dialog but:
I see no way to select it other than by making it the default.
If I do that it affects the whole system (e.g. Control Panel) not just Office.
And it still does not do what I actually want, namely to translate things like the strings used to specify duration units (e.g. “weeks” in English, etc.).
The problem is not the fact that it is Swedish, btw, because I have tried the other languages mentioned above.
Any ideas? Have I forgotten to do something?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use an other language in the Win8 operate system for English.
I suggest you do the following steps:
Download the language packs which you want(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/language-packs/)
Add language packs for an existing Office 2013 installation
Please do the detailed steps:
1.Copy the files and folders in the new language packs from the source media to the original network installation point. When you are prompted to overwrite Setup files, choose No.
Each language pack includes language-specific elements for every product in Office 2013. However, Setup installs language-specific elements only for the Office product that you are updating.
2.In the core product folder for the product that you are updating, locate the Config.xml file.
For example, if you are adding languages to an installation of Office Professional Plus 2013, find the Config.xml file in the ProPlus.WW folder.
3.Open Config.xml in a text editor, such as Notepad.
4.Find the <AddLanguage> element. Uncomment the line by deleting the opening  tags.
5.Set the value of the Id attribute to the language tag that corresponds to the language that you want to install. You can specify more than one language by including additional <AddLanguage> elements and attributes.
For example, to add the Russian language pack, the line should resemble the following example:
<AddLanguage Id="ru-ru" />
6.If you add more than one language in Config.xml, you must specify one language as the language for the Shell UI. For example:
<AddLanguage Id="ru-ru" ShellTransform="yes" />
<AddLanguage Id="en-us" />
You must specify a ShellUI language, even though Setup does not change the ShellUI language that was set for the initial installation.
7.Save the Config.xml file. Run Setup.exe and specify the path of your modified Config.xml file.
For more detail information, please refer to the following link:
