Help please - how to remove the case....

I am working with my son to remove the case on his powerbook g4 17 1.5 to replace the hard drive. there is apparently a screw somewhere in the middle of the keyboard.
Without having to remove too many keys, can someone please give me a clue? Thanks in advance.

You really want to be following this ...

... which is a full disassembly guide for this PowerBook. I used it to replace my hard drive, and while it was a bit scary, it would have been impossible without that awesome guide.

HELP PLEASE~How to turn the buzz off my iSight iMacG5...

Hi all,
I seriously need some help here. I've got my iMac 20" couple weeks ago, and it was quiet at first. I didn't hear the buzz sound coming from the middle left until maybe about 3~5 days. Now my roommate just got a 17" iSight iMac, which is whisper quiet. I still can hear the fan or air goes in and out from her machine but it is totally acceptable unlike mine...
I thought it was due to the upgrade to 10.4.3, so I reinstalled the OS again but the sound's still there. I then took it to a mac store to examine it. This evening a techincian told me it normally functions in a quiet room and he thinks everything's right, so I took it back but the sound's still there...
Few iMac 20" users here also have the same buzz problems like mine. I really hope it becomes as quiet as the first time I got it, so please let me know if you have any ideas to solve this...The buzz really annoys me especially when I don't hear anything from my roomate's...
Any input will be much appreicated. Thank you.

Why don't try reseting the SMU here are the Directions on how to do it.
The SMU (System Management Unit) is a microcontroller chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMU may resolve it. The SMU controls several functions, including:
Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so on.
Handling system resets from various commands.
Controlling the fans.
Note that resetting the SMU does not reset the PRAM. Resetting the SMU will not resolve issues in which your computer is unresponsive—in these situations, restarting your computer will generally suffice. If your computer isn't responding, perform these steps one at a time, in this order, until the issue has been resolved:
Force Quit (Option-Command-Escape).
Restart (Control-Command-Power).
Force Shut Down (press the power button for 10 seconds).
Resetting the SMU can resolve some computer issues such as not starting up, not displaying video, sleep issues, fan noise issues, and so on. If your computer still exhibits these types of issues even after you've restarted the computer, try resetting the SMU. To reset the SMU on an iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor) computer, simply do the following:
Turn off the computer by choosing Shut Down from the Apple menu, or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord.
Wait 10 seconds.
Plug in the power cord while simultaneously pressing and holding the power button on the back of the computer.
Let go of the power button.
Press the power button once more to start up your iMac.
Unlike earlier iMac G5 computer models, the iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor) and iMac G5 (iSight) computers do not have a button on the main logic board for resetting the SMU. This eliminates the need to remove the computer's back cover to reset the SMU.

Some help please: how to remove incompatible audio units?

Hello forum readers,
If someone knows, a little help would be appreciated:
When staring Logic Pro X, each time Audio Units are automatically being scanned. All the time I get a window with the message "Incompatible Audio Units found":
"While verifying Audio Unit compatibility, Logic Pro X encountered 1 Audio Unit plug-in(s) which did not pass the Apple AU validation. These plug-ins have been excluded from further usage in Logic Pro X to prevent possible problems or crashes. You can start the AU Manager now to review the validation results or continue the startup process."
When opening the Audio Units manager, I see that "AUSpeechSynthesis (Automap)applttsp" (Manufacturer: Apple, type: generator) couldn't be opened. I don't know how to remove or bypass this plug-in, as the option "disable failed audio units" doesn't seem to work. Now each time I start Logic Pro X, the same message keeps appearing. I also can't find that file on my Mac, a searched for it and also the Finder can't find it.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards,
Thijs

I have the same problem but I can´t figure out how to unwrap AUSpeechSynthesis. I can´t even find it in the filesystem with spotlight..... ;o(
And yes I have turned on the 64bit plugin friendly option in Automap's Preferences.
Thanks for your help!

In the libary of iPhoto I do have double pictures only in the year 2006. Can someone please tell me how to remove the double pictures. I did rebuilt the libary but that solution did not help me any further.

I think the warning is very clear.
What warning? Where do you say that this plan you suggest will lose at least some, and possibly a whole lot of metadata, plus the original files of edited photos. This is significant dataloss. And you should warn people that this is the case.
While your metadata and originals may not be important to you, that is not necessarily the case for other users.
Fourthly, and last, cleaning the iPhoto library should be done at least once per year
This is nonsense. The iPhoto Library has no need of "cleaning" and certainly not in any way that trashes a whole lot of data.
I'm very impressed that you assess the application based on the sound of the name. It's not a common way to review applications, but I'm sure it has some merit.
FWIW it has been recommended on this - and other - sites for many years and has proven safe and effective.

Hi there Graham!
I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

Hi All,
Please help me how to improve the performance of this query further.
Thanks.

Hi,
this is not your first SQL tuning request in this community -- you really should learn how to obtain performance diagnostics.
The information you posted is not nearly enough to even start troubleshooting the query -- you haven't specified elapsed time, I/O, or the actual number of rows the query returns.
The only piece of information we have is saying that your query executes within a second. If we believe this, then your query doesn't need tuning. If we don't, then we throw it away
and we're left with nothing.
Start by reading this blog post: Kyle Hailey &raquo; Power of DISPLAY_CURSOR

Please tell me exactly how to remove the AVG search function

Please tell me exactly how to remove the AVG search function
''edited by a moderator for clarity''

You don't need to repeat yourself dozens of time or use profanity to get help here.
(1) Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on this tab. Not sure what it does? If in doubt, disable:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Use of the links above a disabled extension to restart Firefox if any appear.
(2) Reset your search providers to Google:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
(3) Check for a user.js file (do this before exiting Firefox, otherwise the settings in that file can undo your cleanup) as described in this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(4) If AVG search took over your new tab page (Ctrl+t), change that as follows:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value for your preferred page:
''(i) Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
''(ii) Blank tab'' => about:blank
''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
''(iv) Any other page'' => full URL to the page
IMPORTANT: If you have AVG software in your Windows Control Panel, you may also need to remove it there.

Urgent help: How to remove the accumaltion when show movies step by step with buttons

I want to show the movie step by step by clicking the next
button. Inside each frame, many movie clips are generated
dynamically at runtime, and they can be played interactively.
I achieves the step-by-step display of those frames by adding
another layer with the action stop(). But I got one trouble: all
the movie clips from previous frames are accumalted. How to remove
the accumulation from previous frames?
For the continuous display of the movie, I tried to use
onEnterFrame() and change the _visible property of all the movie
clips to false in this function. But it doesn't work for the
step-by-step display. Once I click the next button, the movie clips
at the current frame just show very quickly, then disappear. What
should I do?
I need to fix this immediately.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
- zcx

you can use the removeMovieClip() method for those movieclips
added dynamically.

Please help me how to take the "Spot Color" in illustrator?

Hi,
Please help me how to take the "spot color in illustrator CS" using vb script (or) java script.
Regards,
Prabudass E.

Prabudass, If you are just wanting to see if the illustrator file uses spot colors - run the Delete Unused Panel items from the default actions. then view the swatch palette in small or large List View. The color names that have a square containing a gray circle (spot) to the right of their color names are spot colors. The following will get the spot color name of an existing swatch named "Color1" and change it to "Nicks Swatch" and will assign the CMYK values stated. if (app.documents.length > 0){ var swatches = app.activeDocument.spots; for(i=0;i<swatches.length;i++){ var currSwatch = swatches[i]; if(currSwatch.name == "Color1") {currSwatch.name = "Nicks Swatch"; var newColor = new CMYKColor(); newColor.cyan = 35; newColor.magenta = 0; newColor.yellow = 50; newColor.black = 0; currSwatch.color = newColor; } }} When this script has run the swatch palette will not immediately reflect the changes to the swatch name until you double click on a swatch and click OK or Cancel in the Edit Swatch dialog. I hope that I have understood your question correctly and that these responses are helpful. Good Luck Nick

Living in Dubai where many apps are blocked. How can I get around ? Tried to create a new Id but my billing address in Dubai will not match the criteria for an account in the US. Help please to get around the censorship...thnaks

Living in Dubai where many apps are blocked. How can I get around ? Tried to create a new Id but my billing address in Dubai will not match the criteria for an account in the US. Help please to get around the censorship...thanks

The censorship in regards to certain apps not being available in your country is by your country, not by Apple.
Due to various laws and licensing in each country, in order to have an iTunes store account in a particular country you must have a credit card with a billing address in that country. If this were up to Apple, there would be no such requirement and there would be only one iTunes store for the entire world, but various laws, regulations, and licensing issues in each country, this is required by Apple.

I created a photo album on my iPhone 4s - edited photos etc. but I cannot figure out how to transfer it to my pc (using Windows 8). The only folder in the iphone drive is the one which has the Camera roll photos :( Help please - I really need the photos!

The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

The site is joehewett.uk and I am worried that now I do not have the files of the website I cannot remove it?
James.

Did you delete the files from your Remote server?
Deleting the local site folder or the site definition in DW will have no effect on your remote site.
When I go to your URL, I see the index.html page with 16 code errors and this background image:
http://joehewett.uk/Untitled-1.jpg
So the site is still online until you delete those files from your server.
