Hi guys. in need help with my PowerBook G4

here the problem, i got this PowerBook G4 from a friend of mine in the US. now i cant update the softwares because it needs a password and when i asked my friends, he told me he forgot the password.
is their any other way to disable the password or what can you suggest that i do?
be gentle with me, im a newbie here!
thanks for the help in advance.

If you got the computer used, the first thing you should do is erase the drive and start from scratch with your own system.
Who knows what condition the system is in, and you could save yourself a lot of hassle in the future by starting fresh.
Otherwise, do as Yang suggested and reset the password via the install DVD.

    All FaceTime calls are over WiFi, thus they are "free", unless you're using a WiFi hotspot that charges for its use.

  • Need Help with Titanium Powerbook board replacement

    Hi,
    I have couple questions about replacing my motherboard for my Titanium 15" Powerbook. It's a 400Mhz w/ 256MB Ram and 10GB hard drive. Would it be possible to upgrade with a different board? Would it fit? Are there any sites that offer great prices for upgrades for this? Any information would be great. It is in great condition and I would like to make use of it. Thank you for your time.

    Hi, Thank you both for the reply. I will check out the web site. I noticed in your equipment that you have a TiBook as well. How did you get it up to 1GHz? did you change the processor on that 500Mhz board? Let me know. Thanks. Appreciate your help.

  • Need help with G4 powerbook

    I am having issues with my G4 Power Book. It keeps unexpectedly quitting most of my software programs like Adobe Illustrator, PhotoShop, even Safari, Mail, Keynote and Pages.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Got a couple of questions: What are the spec's of this PB? Like how much Ram? How fast of Chip? How full is the hard drive? If you have a temp monitor, what is the processor temp normally? If you have a memory monitor, how low are you letting it get? Do you run all these programs at once? Or one by one? Do you ( have you ) run the maintenance cron jobs regularly?
    Safari (version 1.3.2) is known to close when going to certain sites, like Google Maps, and others.
    Mail is known to get fluky when the inbox gets over-full.
    If you have minimal ram, and a fairly full hard drive, other memory intense programs simply cannot function (and throw in the towel). Adobe and PhotoShop fit this. Keynote and Pages could too, depending on how you are using them.
    Once we know what your spec's are it will be easier to troubleshoot what is happening.

    you can use the sharedobject to record a user/computer has taken your quiz, the session data and record their results.  at the start of your quiz, check for the sharedobject and, if it exists, check the other data and take appropriate action.

  • Hi.. need help with a query

    hello guys :)
    I need help with this exercise:
    Find the most common cooking method in recipes that contain tomatoes.
    the 4 tables:
    t_recipes
    --recipe_no
    --recipe_name

    I am realy lost :S
    thank you

    But... I didn`t understand the first partSorry, what part is that? You probably understood "Welcome to the forum!" It looks like you understood most of what I said, perhaps before I said it. You seem to be on the right track.
    Unlike talking to a co-worker in the next cube, exchanging messages with someone on this forum takes a fair amount of time, so it's worth the time it takes to explain things very clearly, more than you would in conversation. Post all the relevant information, and say exactly what the problem is.
    amm i tried to do this:
    select t_recipes.recipe_name, count(t_cooking_mode.cooking_mode)
    from (t_cooking_mode INNER JOIN t_integration ON t_cooking_mode.recipe_no = t_integration.recipe_no )
    INNER JOIN t_products ON t_integration.product_no = t_products.product_no)
    WHERE t_products.product_name = 'tomatoes'
    GROUP BY t_recipes.recipe_name
    help?Please help by posting whatever you know about the problem. For example, if there's a error message, post the complete error message, including the line number.
    Help the people who want to help you by formatting your code and making it easy to read and understand. This will help you, too.
    For example, here's exactly what you posted, with only the white-space changed to make parallel items, such as parentheses, line up nicely:
    select        t_recipes.recipe_name
    ,       count(t_cooking_mode.cooking_mode)
    from             (          t_cooking_mode
                INNER JOIN      t_integration      ON t_cooking_mode.recipe_no = t_integration.recipe_no
    INNER JOIN      t_products      ON t_integration.product_no = t_products.product_no
    WHERE       t_products.product_name      = 'tomatoes'
    GROUP BY  t_recipes.recipe_nameWhen you format your code like this, it can be very easy to spot errors like unbalanced parentheses. In this case, the ')' right before the WHERE clause has no matching '('. You don't need to use any parentheses at all in the FROM clause. You can simply say:
    FROM     t_cooking_mode
    JOIN      t_integration      ON t_cooking_mode.recipe_no = t_integration.recipe_no
    JOIN      t_products      ON t_integration.product_no = t_products.product_no
    WHERE     ...INNER JOIN is the default kind of join, which makes sense, since the majority of all joins are inner joins. I usually say JOIN (instead of INNER JOIN) because it makes the code more compact and easier to read (at least for me), but I won't be maintaining your code, so do what's best for you.
    What are you trying to find in this problem? Is it a recipe name or a cooking mode? If it's a cooking mode, the why do you have t_recipes.reciple_name in the SELECT (and GROUP BY) clause? Shouldn't you be using some other column, from some other table?
    If I understand the problem correctly, the t_recipes table is not needed in this problem. You won't necessarily use every table in every query.
    When you post formatted text on this site, type these 6 characters:
    \(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.

  • Need help with ram on bootcamp

    hey guys i need help with getting more ram on the pc side of bootcamp.
    it says i have 1.99 of ram on the pc side
    then on the mac i got this
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
    Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 4
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    wanting to know how to get more ram over to boot camp

    Rodney:
    You cannot physically or via software add/move RAM from OSx side to Windows side. This is because you run Leopard and Windows separately and therefore when one is running the other is not active. The only thing that controls how much RAM Windows sees/uses is determined by the type of Windows you have installed (32BIT or 64BIT). Please do not confuse that with Gigabytes of RAM or disk space.
    32BIT Windows has a maximum limit of 3GB of RAM (it often uses only around 2GB of RAM when it is sharing the system RAM with your video card. I believe this is the case with you.
    64BIT Windows will be able to sees/use all of your 4GB of RAM.
    Leopard sees/uses all of your 4GB of RAM.
    If you have installed Windows XPSP2 and it is working properly on your boot camp partition then I can assure you that it is the 32BIT version.
    FYI - The only time that one can select/decide how much RAM Leopard uses and how much RAM Windows uses is when one is running Windows as a Virtual Machine under software such as Fusion or Parallels. I have assumed that you are running windows on a boot camp partition (from your posts) and therefore this does not apply to you.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

  • HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

    Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused.  I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side. 
    Good news,, I dont need a super giant system,  I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
    I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to..  So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
    I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with.   So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there.  I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
    WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW?  WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
    cs6:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
    4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display
    7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Any responses would be great.  I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

    All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine.  They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine.  Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
    Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
    Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
    All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later.  I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive.  It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives.  Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
    Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
    All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS.  There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also.  There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
    Notes on all the current iMacs
    iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives.  If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
    All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
    It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
    Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X.  And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two).  There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks.  If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it.  You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

    once i find the greatest year i need to check the value of period 14 for that grant for the previous year and add it to the budget amount for that grant. however if their is an entry in the greatest year for period 00 then i need to ignore the period 14 of previous year and do this calculation current period +(current period - greatest year 00)
    hope that makes sense so in other words with the new data above. if i was querying period two of grant year 11. i would end up with $800
    because the greatest year is 11 it contains a period 0 with amount of $400 so my total should be
    period 2 amount $ 600
    period 0 amount $ 400 - period 2 amount of $600 = 200
    600+200 = $800
    if i query period 1 of grant 360055 i would just end up with 800 of grnt year 10.
    i have tried to modify that query you supplied to me with no luck. I have tried for several day but im embarrased to say i just can get it to do what im trying to do .
    can you please help me out.
    here is the query supplied by frank kulash who gracefully put this together for me.

    Hi, Miguel,
    Are you waying that, when the greatest year that has :given_period also has period='00' (or '0', or whatever you want to use), then you want to double the budget from the given_period (as well as subtract the budget from the '00', and not count the pevious year's '14')? If so, add another condition to the CASE statement which decides what you're SUMming:
    WITH     got_greatest_year     AS
         SELECT       TO_NUMBER (fgl_grnt_year)     AS grnt_year

  • Need help with first applescript@Quicktime- can't figure out a few lines...

    Ok guys I need help, here is what I want to happen. I want the script to just shorten a movie file. It should be so simple!!
    lengthofmovie = film length
    set time range from 0 to (lengthofmovie-1)
    save the movie as a new file
    That is all I want done, I am ripping my hair out of my head trying to do this. Please help me!!
    Here is my code so far:
    with timeout of 86400 seconds
    display dialog "Before beginning batch processing, make sure QuickTime Player is set to the desired export settings, and all videos to be processed are in a folder named ‘Input’ on the desktop." with icon note
    tell application "Finder"
    set the startup_disk to the name of the startup disk
    end tell
    set user to do shell script "whoami"
    set inputfoldername to "Input"
    set input_folder to startup_disk & ":Users:" & user & ":Desktop:" & inputfoldername & ":"
    set user_desktop to startup_disk & ":Users:" & user & ":Desktop:"
    set output_folder to startup_disk & ":Users:" & user & ":Desktop:Output:"
    set file_extension to "_export.mp4"
    try
    tell application "Finder"
    make new folder at user_desktop with properties {name:"Output"}
    end tell
    end try
    try
    set thefolderlist to list folder input_folder without invisibles
    repeat with x from 1 to count of thefolderlist
    set the_file to input_folder & item x of thefolderlist
    set output_file to output_folder & item x of thefolderlist & file_extension
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    open the_file
    //change timeline, trim NEED HELP HERE
    export front document to output_file as MPEG4 using most recent settings with replacing
    close front document
    end tell
    end repeat
    on error
    display dialog "This script requires a folder named ‘" & inputfoldername & "‘ located on the desktop." with icon stop
    end try
    beep
    end timeout

    Hi plashd,
    First, I must confess that I don't know much about QuickTime. Nevertheless, while trying to understand your problem, I discovered that the AppleScript dictionaries of QuickTime Player and QuickTime 7 were very different from one another, and was unable to use the “export” command of QuickTime Player. However, I finally was able, with the following script, to use AppleScript to shorten a QuickTime movie and save it under another name:
    *set the_file to POSIX file "/Users/pierre/Desktop/MVI_0503.MOV"*
    *set output_file to "/Users/pierre/Desktop/NewMVI0503.MOV"*
    *tell application "QuickTime Player"*
    activate
    *open the_file*
    *tell front document*
    *trim from 1 to (duration - 5)*
    *save in output_file with replacing*
    *close without saving*
    *end tell*
    *end tell*
    Hope it can help.

  • Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.

    Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.
    Anytime I select Vibrance to adjust the color of an image. The whole image turns Pink in the highlights when the slider is moved from "0" to - or + in value.  Can the Vibrance tool be reset to prevent this from happening? When this happens I cn not make adjustments...just turns Pink.
    Thanks,
    GD

    Thank you for your reply. 
    Yes, that does reset to “0” and the Pink does disappear.
    But as soon as I move the slider +1 or -1 or higher the image turns Pink in all of the highlights again, rather than adjusting the overall color.

    I have below suggestions:
    1. Please use code option given in message editor toolbar for posting any formatted content like XML, Java code snippet etc.
    2. replace & in your source XML with _& a m p ;_ (Without spaces, I have put spaces to make it visible here).
    3. I have modified your XSLT according output XML you have given. I am not sure what you want to do with some elements like <b>, <font>, <var> etc. change below XSLT as you require for these elements.

  • Need Help with a Flash Web Project

    Hello, everyone. I am trying to use Flash to make a two-step
    system. I want the flash document to, first, allow a person to
    upload multiple image files and then, second, for the flash
    document be able to create a slideshow with the uploaded images and
    fade in and out from each image until the slideshow is over. I want
    it to be where the flash document creates its own slideshow with
    the images that are uploaded in the first step that I mentioned. I
    want it to do it completely on its own so I need to know how to
    give it the proper AI so that it can do this task.
    So, are there any tips that anyone has on how to do this? Can
    anyone tell me exactly how to do this? I really need help with this
    for my new website project. Thanks in advance, everyone!

    The problem with the text not appearing at all has to do with you setting the alpha of the movieclip to 0%.  Not within the movieclip, but the movieclip itself.  The same for the xray graphic, except you have that as a graphic symbol rather than a movieclip.  To have that play while inhabiting one frame you'll need to change it to a movieclip symbol.
    To get the text to play after the blinds (just a minor critique, I'd speed up the blinds), you will want to add some code in the frame where you added the stop in the blinds animation.  You will also need to assign instance names for the text movieclips in the properties panel, as well as place a stop(); in their first frames (inside).
    Let's say you name them upperText and lowerText.  Then the code you'd add at the end of the blinds animation (in the stop frame) would be...
    _parent.upperText.play();
    _parent.lowerText.play();
    The "_parent" portion of that is used to target the timeline that is containing the item making the command, basically meaning it's the guy inside the blinds telling the guy outside the blinds to do something.
    You'll probably want to add stops to the ends of the text animations as well.
    If you want to have the first text trigger the second text, then you'd take that second line above and place it in the last frame of the first text animation instead of the blinds animation.
    Note, on occasion, undeterminably, that code above doesn't work for some odd reason... the animation plays to the next frame and stops... so if you run into that, just put a play(); in the second frame to help push it along.
    PS GotoandPlay would actually be gotoAndPlay, and for the code above you could substitute play(); with gotoAndPlay(2);
