Getting info from my Powerbook

My powerbook has lost the capability of charging, leaving me unable to access any of my data. Is there any way to access the information on my P.B. without actually powering up the device ? Can I access my info by connecting it via firewire to another mac?

If your PB cannot run off the AC adapter and your battery is dead, your only options are to borrow a battery from another PB owner (perhaps the Genius Bar can help there), or to remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure. In order to get data off, the HDD needs power.

Plug the stick and/or card into the appropriate slots on the side of your Air. Do you see icons for the devices appear on the desktop? Click into them to see what files are there.

SWF-file not getting info from UI

Hi All,
I have a dialog that loads a flash-file. This swf-file gets info from my dialog and puts it in a datagrid.
It works well, untill i try it the script on an other computer. The swf-file loads but is not receiving any information given through the UI.
Is it a matter of installing extra options/software on the other pc?
My computer (the script works) is a Windows XP with Adobe Design Premium.
The other computer is also a Windows XP with indesign and flash player installed.
Is there anyone who has an idea?
THANKS
Greetz,
Glen

Ok, i have the answer to my own question.
I forgot that i had to change the settings in the settings manager of the flash player.

How to get info from a layer which is applied with styles ?

How to get info from a layer ? such as   ( apply style or not , which effect have applied on it etc..)
I really can't solve it , Who can hlep me.. By the way , I 'am using CS version.

xtools/xlib/Styles.js has a set of functions for working with layer styles. I do not know if it works with CS. I wrote it several years ago for either CS or CS2. If this doesn't work, then nothing will. The script retrieves a layer's style by saving it to disk then parsing the file for the desired ActionDescriptor.
There is a function at the bottom of the file that tests the Styles.js API.
Styles.test = function() { var doc = app.activeDocument;
var layer0 = doc.artLayers[0];
var gdesc = Styles.getLayerStyleDescriptor(doc, layer0);
if (!gdesc) {
    alert("There is no layer style associated with the layer");
    return;
//   this will set the layer style to another layer.
//   var layer1 = doc.artLayers[1];
//   Styles.setLayerStyleDescriptor(doc, layer1, gdesc);
if (!gdesc.hasKey(cTID('FrFX'))) { // look for a stroke effect
    return;
var frfx = gdesc.getObjectValue(cTID('FrFX'));
if (!frfx.hasKey(cTID('Clr '))) {   // look for the color
    return;
var clr = frfx.getObjectValue(cTID('Clr '));
// we should really check that the objectType is RGBC
var r = clr.getDouble(cTID('Rd '));
var g = clr.getDouble(cTID('Grn '));
var b = clr.getDouble(cTID('Bl '));
if (r == 0 && g == 0xFF && b == 0xFF) {
    return;
clr.putDouble(cTID('Rd '), 0);
clr.putDouble(cTID('Grn '), 0xFF);
clr.putDouble(cTID('Bl '), 0xFF);
frfx.putObject(cTID('Clr '), cTID('RGBC'), clr);
gdesc.putObject(cTID('FrFX'), cTID('FrFX'), frfx);
Styles.setLayerStyleDescriptor(doc, layer0, gdesc);

TS3771 Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?

Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?

It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

How do I get info from Active Directory and use it in my web-applications?

I borrowed a nice piece of code for JNDI hits against Active Directory from this website: http://www.sbfsbo.com/mike/JndiTutorial/
I have altered it and am trying to use it to retrieve info from our Active Directory Server.
I altered it to point to my domain, and I want to retrieve a person's full name(CN), e-mail address and their work location.
I've looked at lots of examples, I've tried lots of things, but I'm really missing something. I'm new to Java, new to JNDI, new to LDAP, new to AD and new to Tomcat. Any help would be so appreciated.
Thanks,
To show you the code, and the error message, I've changed the actual names I used for connection.
What am I not coding right? I get an error message like this:

rolename="cn"
/>
I'd be so grateful for any help.
Any suggestions about using the data from Active directory in web-application.
Thanks.
R.Vaughn

By this time you probably have already solved this, but I think the problem is that the Search Base is relative to the attachment point specified with the PROVIDER_URL. Since you already specified "DC=mycomp,DC=isd" in that location, you merely want to set the search base to "". The error message is trying to tell you that it could only find half of the "DC=mycomp, DC=isd, DC=mycomp, DC=isd" that you specified for the search base.
Hope that helps someone.

TS4345 Can I use Migration Assistant to get info from a Macbook Pro that has a dead screen?

I have a MacBook Pro 17 that the screen died on. I have a new MacBook Pro coming tomorrow and need to try to find a way to get the info from the old one to the new one. From the online info I saw on Migration Assist you need both screens to work to get a authentification code. Is there any work around? I don't know what system the old one is and have no idea what type of sharing may have been on or off.

AFAIK, you can use the Setup Assistant on first boot w/o any authentication code or sharing stuff. See Pondini's Setup New Mac guide for details.

How to get info from a .class file at run time? thanks for help

I need to get methods and properties (variables) from a .class file at run time.
as u know, javap.exe can do that in an independent way. but i need to get info at run time once the .class or packeges have been changed, javap is not suitable in the case.
i try to read data directly from .class file but it's hard to know the file format.
e.g. a class looks like (java file):
class MyClass extends Frame
int i0;
String s0;
public String getName()
if the file is compiled to .class file, how to get properties (variables: i0,s0) and methods String getName() from the .class file by an applicaton at run time?
Doclet is not suitable for speed reason, it is too slow to get right info in right format.
Thanks for any help, please write a little bit more in detail if you know.

Quicktime 7.1 buffer overrun when trying to get info from an Indeo 4.4 AVI

Surprisingly Quicktime7.1 can play one of my Indeo video 4.4-encoded Windows .AVI File. It plays and exports flawlessly but when I want to use Get Info the player (or maybe one of the QuickTime DLLs) crashed with a VC++ Runtime Error: Buffer Overrun. All other QuickTime file don't have this problem.

This is what when the situation happens.

I set up the firefox sync from my computer to my ipad. can I use this acct somehow to get info from my ipad that i lost?

i lost my ipad. i have a sync acct with firefox from my desktop to my ipad 2. how do i retrieve info from my ipad using the firefox sync that i set up

Hi!
Unfortunately the communication with iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) is only in one direction: data from your computers will go to your iPad but not the other way around.
That's a limitation of Firefox Home.

Replaced a new HDD but need to get info from old HDD, can I swap it out?

Excuse me if I sound like an idiot....my factory original 40GB Toshiba HDD finally had to be replaced after serving me for 5 yrs. I took it to a local dealer and replaced it with a new 160GB Samsung drive.
Here comes the problem...I realized that I had forgotten to backup some important files. So my question is, is it safe (and possible) to open up the laptop myself, plug in the old drive, run it, and backup the files I want on a removable drive, and then swap the new drive back in?
I hope I am not over-simplifying the problem. Thanks though, your help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry let me backup.
You have the 12" Powerbook correct?
If so then that means that you have a IDE or some call it ATA (not to be confused with SATA found in new macs) type of drive.
So what you need is an external 2.5" HDD case or enclosure that has an external interface that is firewire or USB, and an internal interface that is IDE or also known as ATA.
check out these two links and maybe they will help.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817146604
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MOTGFWU2/
On ebay the external enclosure/IDE is what you want, the external portable probably comes with a drive in it. You have a drive already you want to install into the case so you do not need the external portable.
The 2.0 vs 2.5 I'm not sure about unless you typo'ed and meant 3.0 vs 2.5. As there are two different sizes for HDD's 3"(for desktops) and 2.5"(for laptops).
Firewire and USB are rival interfaces which allow external devices to attach to a computer. Your Powerbook will accept either, but if you plan on using the external enclosure to boot you Powerbook then you'll need the firewire as Powerbooks can only boot external from firewire not USB. Some enclosures have both USB and Firewire and that would be ok, some people prefer them, as I do.
I hope that your old drive is still strong enough to get the info off of it.
What was wrong with it for you to replace it in the first place?

Computer not getting info from mp3

I hope someone else has had this problem. All of a sudden my computer is not displaying any of the info in my zen moziac. I need to make space, arrange playlists and all the software ( both creative central and windows ) does not show the info in my mp3. It only seems to show some recent stuff i loaded to both computer and mp3. I have playlists and it shows only one in the mp3 and 3 in the computer. So in short I am unable to view all of my info to delete add or rearrange.

Are you using the factory charger or a 3rd party? I used to have a 3rd party charger that would not wake my powerbook from sleep. The only work around I could find was to pull the power and battery, then wait for the sleep light to stop flashing (5 minutes or so), plug the power and battery back in, and then it would boot (though at that point it is no longer "sleeping" and will perform a cold boot). Another option would be to try resetting the PMU. If memory serves me correctly, you removed power and the battery, hold down the power button for at least 5 seconds, then reapply power and boot.
Good luck.
