HELP!!!! I need to be able to use my PowerBook 5300c!
HELP!!!! My PowerBook 5300c with System Software 7.5.5 won't boot with extensions! One thing I know is that on June someting, 2008, I wanted to put stuffit expander on my mac. I would download it from an archive site, and put it on a DOS FLOPPY!!!! (Not knowing what data and resource forks are). Then I opened it on my mac, WHAM!! it opened word and crashed with "Sorry, a system error occurred, Type 10" messages were flying all over the screen! I stripped the data and resource forks using DOS floppy format. Does anyone know about how to fix this, any software. REMEMBER, this computer uses System Software 7.5.5 so, I don't need things only for Mac OS 9!
My PowerBook 5300c with System Software 7.5.5 won't boot with extensions!
Would it be correct to assume that the PowerBook boots with Extensions Off (press the Shift key at startup)? If so, try to isolate the offending file. This can take some time. You can either use the Extensions Manager or just manually move files (one by one, with a restart in between) out of the Extensions and Control Panels folders. In order to speed up the process, one can use a divide-by-two method for a large number of files.
Generally speaking, a Mac with System 7.5.5 (and the PC Exchange control panel active) should not have a problem with a PC floppy.
If necessary, StuffIt Expander for Macintosh can be obtained via a PC like this: Download the MACDISK.EXE file here onto the PC. Prepare an empty PC-formatted 1.44 MB (HD) diskette via FORMAT A: in DOS or the "full" formatting option under Windows (this is important). Run the MACDISK.EXE program on the PC. Follow the on-screen directions. The resulting floppy is ready for immediate use in a Mac, and contains a StuffIt Expander 4.0.1 installer.

Hello I wonder if anyone knows how to find, download and install a suitable IPA (phonetics) font for the MacBook Air? I need to be able to use a pop up window of fonts.
Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.
Hi a,
http://www.mctiviausa.com/
There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen. -
HT201471 What model do you need to be able to use a charge scanner when their is no wi-fi available
What model do you need to be able to use a charge scanner when their is no wi-fi available
Ohh, you mean credit card scanner?
That would be up to whicher scanner you choose. The manufacturer would determine which iPad or iPhone versions or IOS versions their device supports.
The Square scanner from the Apple Online store only needs iOS 5. So pretty much any model of iPad should support it.
System Requirements
iOS 5.0 or later
Square app; free download from App Store in iTunes

On my iphone4 I need to be able to receive and send both TDS and Yahoo e-mail accounts (I also need to access from my Macbook Pro and my HP desktop). I have NO problem with Yahoo, but with TDS, the e-mail seemed to work on my phone.... and then it didn't.) In adding the TDS account, I chose "other" ( TDS is somehow accessed on the back end through gmail). For the incoming server I used the Incoming Sever Name of pop.gmail.com and the Outgoing Mail Server as smtp.gmail.com. I have using SSL "on" and the server port is 995. Is this setup correct for TDS?
FYI: POP will by default, delete messages from the server after downloading them (This applies to most pop clients, computer or mobile). POP is old tech and is not recommended if IMAP or Exchange are available. The default when setting up a g-mail type account is IMAP. Full synchronization with the server. You may also be able to set it up as an Exchange account, allowing for push e-mail and sync of calendars and contacts as well. See the Gmail help pages for instructions.

Need to be able to use both SSO and manual login to the WAS
Hi,
we are currently on NW7 SP20 (SPS18) but we are still using 3.x queries and web applications extensively. We have SSO enabled on all systems and that works fine. However, this does not give us the possibility to test for example roles by logging on as a test user. How can we keep SSO but also allow us to log on as a different user to the WAS when running queries or web templates.
Typical test scenario:
1) Open WAS3.x or Query Designer 3.x and log on as a test user
2) Close all browser windows
3) Execute web template or query in browser
4) At this point SSO takes over and logs the tester on as him/herself. What we would like here is to have the option of either logging on manually /by for example clicking a log on button) or using SSO (say by not clikcing the login button within 5 seconds or clikcing a SSO button). How can we get this to work?
Kind regards
Kenneth EriksenActually, we want both...
Most of the time, SSO is desired, but when testing role changes etc we need to be able to log on with a test user.
The desired scenario:
When you try to run a web report/query and have not logged on, the system should offer you two options:
1) Manual log on
2) Single sign on
If you wait for a specified time (say 3 seconds) without selecting an option then SSO is used automatically (to avoid having to select SSO every time you need it).
If you click manual log on then you should be prompted for a username/password and be logged on as the specified user.
Can this be done at all?
Kind regards

I recently allowed the software update and the installation of java 7 has disabled a key task I need for my business, specifically being able to view 360 degree tours that I create.
Slightly different OS and update, but I was able to use Pacifist to install the java Update 15 for mac os 10.6 after Update 16 had screwed up some business-critical sw of ours. You will need to go to the downloads site and download the previous update, and then use Pacifist to re-install the earlier version.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6411909/how-to-downgrade-jre-jdk-on-mac-osx
This might or might not actually work -- it depends entirely upon the details of the updates, and you could end up in some weird jumble of pieces-of-multiple-updates all together... Java updates are patches, not a full copy of the software, so to really go back you have to start from the beginning and apply the updates in order. In the case of Update 16, we were lucky in that whatever was screwing up our program was changed in both Update 15 and Update 16, so writing the Update 15 back overtop of 16 fixed our problem. -
HT1338 Help with needing to be able to set up icloud and sync itunes with iphone 4s
Can and do I need to download OS X Mountain lion to support me to be able to use Icloud for my mac and iphone 4s and to sync other stuff up to it? I currently am running on a Mac OS X 10.6.7 wtih 4GB and it says I need 10.6.8 to to icloud and sync my itunes to my phone. What do you suggest? Is it possible to put OS X Mountain lion on my computer with its current state?
As your Mac should run Snow Leopard provided it has at least 1GB memory, that would be a good deal easier and very much cheaper than trying to find a 10.5 install disc.
Snow Leopard costs $30 approx from the online Apple store (£26 if you're in UK)
You'll need to update Tiger to 10.4.11 with the combo installer first (unless you're just erasing the disc and starting fresh) You can then update SL from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 with its combo installer.
For comparison, 10.5 Leopard is currently running about $130 from Apple (if still available) and more on Amazon etc.
This info for Leopard courtesy of TexasMacMan;
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

I get an error message that says an instance of mozilla firefox is already running, please close it to continue.
The question already explains the situation. I need all three terminals to use firefox concurrently.
Did not have this problem with the previous version.That happens if all instances use the same profile folder.
Only one instance can use a specific profile.

When I try to apply for job and when I try to e-mail my resume' and Outlook Express comes up to reply to on, I put in my information, etc but when I hit send, it doesn't go through and says? POP and then error report and doesn't go through.
I can't provide a solution with or without the error message, but without an error message, you are making everyone guess at what you see. I have no idea what you see, and I think someone who might be able to help you solve your problem would need to know what that message says. Is "Outlook Express" (Windows Live Mail) your default email processor, if not what is?

I finally got a gmail account and have tried to create a calendar for my family using google calendar. The calendar appears on my Torch 9810 but will not sinc with google calendar. I keep reading that I need enhanced google mail plug in but can not find where to get this plug in. I am not tech savy, so any help would be appreciated. I am a long time Blackberry customer (15 years) and in the almost 2 years of having the Torch, I am ready to huck it out the window and give up. I loved my Bold, the Torch does not compare in my ease of use.
Thank you for your help.Hi and Welcome to the Community!
From what I understand, Google discontinued support for the Enhanced PlugIn as well as many other things...but that's a change that Google made, not BlackBerry. Further, via the available OTA sync capability for Google Calendar, only the primary calendar can be synchronized...no others.
So, I'm a bit unclear about your specifics...it sounds like you created (on Google) a sub-calendar for "family", and somehow got that to appear on your BB, but cannot get it to sync OTA with Google. But all of that sounds contradictory to what I understand...in that you should not have been able to get that sub-calendar to appear on your BB at all since Google only supports the primary calendar.
So some further details about all of that will likely help greatly in understanding, and hopefully then providing you with useful guidance.
Thanks and let us know!
