Getting from 10.3 to higher

I have an earlier mac mini with OS panther 10.3.9. How do I upgrade to a
higher OS? Do I need to purchase this, or does Apple expect me to buy
a new computer?

You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer.
I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
The latest the hard drive enclosures support the newer serial ata drives. The drive and closure that I list supports only older parallel ata.
Has everything interface:
FireWire 800/400 + USB2, + eSATA 'Quad Interface'
save a little money interface:
FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

Here is an external hd enclosure.

Here is what one contributor recommended:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10452917#10452917
Folks in these Mac forums recommend LaCie, OWC or G-Tech.
Here is a list of recommended drives:

FireWire compared to USB. You will find that FireWire 400 is faster than USB 2.0 when used for a external harddrive connection.

I suggest you get an external firewire harddrive and clone your startup 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.

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!
Give SuperDuper a workout on your own system. Clone to your heart's content — for free. See what else is possible. When you're convinced that SuperDuper is a terrific solution — and a great value at $27.95 — you can register right from the application and start using its advanced features immediately!

To boot from the external drive, hold down the option key when you poweron your system. Pick the drive you want.

What do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the thunderbolt on the mac to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody

Capture images from Camera directly at high resolution

Hello Users,
I want to capture images from Camera directly at high
resolution. The problem is that although I am able to capture
images from a Video Object, but the images are small because the
Video size is only 160x120. So if I am able to capture directly
from Camera, I am sure to get a higher resolution images at which
the camera is capturing.
Any help in this matter will be of great help

I have safari 5.1 10. How can i get to safari 6 or higher?

You need to be running Lion or newer. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I have a SC-2042-RTD Board and the temperature reading I get are approxiximately 7 degrees high. Every thing is connected as specified in the manual. We are using a 3 wire RTD configuratuion.

I have a SC-2042-RTD Board and the temperature readings I get are approxiximately 7 degrees high. Every thing is connected as specified in the manual. We are using a 3 wire RTD configuratuion. The current excitation is set at 1mA but is actually 1.0035 mA from the board. The Daq card I am using is a DaqCard-A
I16XE-50.

Two quick things to check are: make sure the sensor does not exceed a max resistance of 8.5k ohms and do not leave any current excitation sources unloaded.
Also, check out chapter five of the SC-2042 user manaul (attached) about how to calibrate the device. This may help get rid of the bad readings.

GE620DX gets really hot while playing high end games

Hi, i just got a notebook GE620DX it works great and performance is really worth it.
However, my only problem is that it gets really hot while playing high end games.
It feels so hot that it is like burning your hand if you put it just right the exhaust vent.
Is this normal with any gaming laptop or there is problem?
Thanks Very Much!

Laptop computers naturally run hot (or at least very warm), and if they stay hot for prolonged periods of time they may overheat and cause serious damage. Whether or not you're experiencing the warning signs and dangers of your laptop overheating, the simple and inexpensive protective measures below will help keep your laptop cooler and make it work more reliably.
5 easy tips to cool a hot laptop
1. Adjust your power settings from "high performance" to a more "balanced" or "power saver" plan. This will tell the system to only use the power required to run your applications, rather than always using the maximum processor speed; if you need to play games or other intensive work, you can switch back to the high performance plan as necessary.
2. Use dust remover spray to clean out of the laptop's vents. Dust can accumulate in and block the laptop's fan vents -- a problem easily solved with a can of compressed gas (~$10). Turn off your laptop and spray the vent to remove the dust.
3. Use a laptop cooling pad that has a fan or two. Laptop pads that have vents but no fans can also increase the air flow around your laptop and they're very portable, but for stronger cooling needs, a fan is the best way to go. For this test, I used a Belkin F5L055 (under $30), but there are also several others selected by this site's previous guide that you can explore or you could even custom build a laptop cooling system if you're so inclined.
4. Keep your working environment or computer room as comfortably cool as possible. Computers, like most people, work much better in air conditioned environments. Most server rooms or data centers operate at 70 degrees or below, according to Server Fault, and that seems like an ideal temperature recommendation for home offices as well.
5. Shut down your computer when not in use, and especially when you are not at home. The last thing you need when you get home is to find out your laptop was a fire hazard (one of the dangers of overheating laptops).
Taking the steps above brought down the internal temperature of an old and dangerously hot laptop from 181° Fahrenheit (83° Celsius) to 106° F (41° C) -- a difference of 41% after one hour of using the active laptop cooling pad and bringing the room temperature down to 68 degrees.

Data not matching in cube which gets from two DSOs

Hi All,
I have a requirement.
Cube gets from data from 2 DSOs.
In 1 DSO -
There are three fields which are mapped to one field in Cube
2 DSO--There are also similar type.
Like 4 fields in dso2 mapping to 1 field in cube
When the data is loaded into Cube,
the data is shown as split data like DSO 1 data and DSO2 data.
I want them combined.
Can anyone let me know what can I do to show as combined data.
Thanks In advance!

Thanks to both of you.
I am different characterstics in DSO1 and DSO2 to cube.
Ofcourse 1or 2 characterstics are common in both DSOs.
Employee LNum deptid frname compcode
12                               VBNM W123
13                                KNML   W145
15             345    K45
16             864    L89
So I am able to see as Split data.12,13 employee IDs are from DSO1 and 15,16 r from DSO2.
even if I give sam eemploee numbers also, same type of split data appears.
Please suggest tocombine both DSOs data in the cube.
Thanks In advance!

Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

Hi all,
Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues and communications are fine
Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
No messages appear in the RWB
Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for your responses.
I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
Scenario 1
When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg /Folder/Subfolder the error message is as follows
EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
Scenario 2
When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg Folder/Subfolder a different error message is returned
Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
Questions
I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Please advise on next course of action?
Regards,
Mike

My Premier Pro software that I get from Adobe Cloud subscription, no longer RENDERS. How can I speak with Tech support to remedy this problem?

My Premier Pro software that I get from Adobe Cloud subscription, no longer RENDERS. How can I speak with Tech support to remedy this problem?

For several hundred productions, Pr CS6 worked perfectly for me. Now, for some unknown reason, when I attempt to render video, the render progress window continually shows more and more frames to be processed. Therefore when I get to 80% rendered it drops back to 70% and increases the total frames in the render.... over and over, so that I never get past 99% rendered... regardless of how long I let it process.

How much would i get from apple towards an iphone 5S if i was to trade in my 16gb iphone 5?

How much would i get from apple towards an iphone 5S if i was to trade in my 16gb iphone 5?

Depends on your carrier, but typically your options are:
1. Buy the new phone at full price, and see what you can get
      as a trade on your current phone or sell it. (Note: some
      retailers are giving special trade in deals for different amounts
      on various phones.   Check local retailers.)
2. Buy out the remainder of your current contract and possibly
      start a new contract with your current carrier with a new phone
      or go to another carrier.
3. Many other variations of trade/buy/sell depending on retailers.
If you are in the States, Target, BestBuy, and several others are running variety
of promotions on 5C's and 5S's. So you may want to pay a visit to a local
store to get details.

Problem with crystal reports get from All in One Best Practice package

Hi,
I tried to use Financial Statements crystal report download from All in One Best Practice package but encounter the below errors. I followed the guide in Manual Steps for Additional Datasource Creation to set up the additional data source. When i try to preview the report, I tried to set all the value to Null but the error message still appear. I believe this has something to do with the infoset but i not sure how to resolve this. Those report which connect to infoset doesnt seem to work for me.
Errors:
Failed to retrive data from database. (then i press OK)
database connector error: 'no item structure data' (then i press OK)
database connector error: 'RFC_Closed'
Please advice
Thank you

Hi Afzal,
I think you misunderstood. The crystal report i am talking about is the 23 crystal report template i get from All in One Best Practice package. All i need to do is follow the "Quick Guide to impletement SAP Best Practices for Business Intelligence V4.31" to make those template works. For those template that connect to Database type: SAP Table, Cluster or Function, i can make those work. The problem i facing now are those template (example: Financial Statements) that connect to Database type: SAP Info sets. The error i receive are stated in my first post.
Please advice

How do I get from Oracle Database 8.1.7.0.0 to 8.1.7.2?

How do I get from Oracle Database 8.1.7.0.0 to 8.1.7.2? There is a patchset that fixes a bug in 8.1.7 for memory leaks that I need installed. I am currently running on a WindowsNT Server with a Oracle Database version of 8.1.7.0.0. Is going to 8.1.7.2 a complete release upgrade, or is there a smaller upgrade to get there, and how do I get the files required>
Thanks,

Hi,
Sorry for my english
For Windows NT, the last big patchset is 8.1.7.4.x. I advice you to use the last patchset. A patchet is not a upgrade or a migrate. the installation is in two phase. Phase One:Patch the files in the oracle home with Oracle Universal Installer (Oui) and Phase Two: execute sql files on the dictionnary of each database. There is a readme with the patch.
you can get files on metalink if you have a account (metalink.oracle.com).

I want to know where to call or go to inquire about an IMEI number... I also want to know what am I going to get from that inquiry? If it is paid? Stolen? What?

I want to know where to go to get information about certain IMEI. I'm about to buy a used phone. I've never bought a used phone before, but I was told to inquire about the IMEI #. I don't know where to go or what I'll get from that inquiry.

There is nowhere to enquire about the IMEI status
all you can do is check that activation lock is not enabled you will not ever get the iPhone to work if thee owner has not or does not release the iPhone
Check it here on this Apple checker
