How can i convert IDE to SATA

It is possible if i want to convert IDE HDD to SATA, ATA ? If yes so tell me how ?

I am talking about BIOS, i think this is software
If you'd researched about the differences then you would'nt think this is software or BIOS issue. I believe it to less than 2 minutes to search and find/read the differences using a search engine.
Google
search results for "What's the difference between IDE and SATA hard drives?"
Your question is like asking how to convert fiber optic cable into copper cable. Or how to convert a V8 engine into a Wankel engine.
You really need to learn something about the hardware you think you want to alter before you think you can alter it somehow with software. And don't guess about BIOS or this or that.
Also if you plan to change to a new drive then an SDD would probably be the way to go if you can afford it and if your computer supports it. Much faster access times.
SSD vs. HDD: What's the Difference?
SDD versus HDD access speeds
"SSDs are Faster
SSDs can have 100 times greater performance, almost instantaneous data access, quicker boot ups, faster file transfers, and an overall snappier computing experience than hard drives. HDDs can only access the data faster the closer it is from the read
write heads, while all parts of the SSD can be accessed at once."

Help - how can I convert G5's SATA power to 4-pin for an Ultra SCSI?

I am trying to put an Ultra SCSI hard drive in an G5. For *some reason* this is very, very hard to do. I have bought a compatible ATTO PCI card that is working fine in the slot. I can connect the data cable from the SCSI card to the drive installed in the G5 (although it was hard snaking it through). The problem is power. What I need is an adapter that will convert the end of the SATA power connector into a 4 pin female for the drive side. This product (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Micro%20Accessories/SATAPA/
) looks right, but seems to be the wrong sex -- the 4 pin part is certainly the wrong sex (since the drive is male, the adapter must be female), and I can't tell if the SATA part will fit (looks like it's also the wrong sex). The picture of what I am trying to do is here:

Can you please help me here? I can't believe that people using a special (high performance in my case) drive with a g5 is something no one has ever tried to do. I know SATA is the future but I want to use my special hard drive (15,000 rpm Ultra SCSI) with my server.
So once again, I am looking for an adapter that will be male SATA power on one end, and female 4 pin on the other end. If anyone could help that would be great.

Like Timotheus D said, don't over think it, get a y-splitter to go off the power for your super drive, like: http://www.directron.com/cbl-y.html

How can I convert an entire excel workbook to pdf?

How can I convert an entire excel workbook to pdf? I have the box in the preferences for converting excel files marked to convert the entire workbook. I am using Abobe Acrobat 11 Statndard. This previously worked fine when I was using Adboe Acrobat 10 Statndard. Now in order to convert the entire workbook I have to open the excel file, Highlight all the workbook tabs and then save the file. Any ideas?

In Acrobat click Edit | Preferences | Convert to PDF: select Microsoft Office Excel, then click on Edit Settings. Make sure that 'Convert entire Excel workbook' is checked.

How can I convert a large batch of NEFs to JPGs in one step or action?

How can I convert a large batch of NEFs to JPGs in one step or action? I'm very new to Lightroom and know almost nothing about it, so I need to know step-by-step. I've seen online advise about exporting but I don't know what that means - export from where to where? Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I suggest you take a little time to watch some tutorials. If you are that new to Lightroom that you don't understand what export means then it would probably be a good idea for you to get some other information as well. If you don't I think you'll find Lightroom can be very confusing. You haven't indicated what version of Lightroom you are using. The link I'm providing you is a series of getting started videos for Lightroom 5. And just about everything in this series will apply to other versions. You will note that there is one video devoted exclusively to exporting images. But I think you really need to watch the whole series.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

> How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

AFAIK, this is beyond the capabilities of FCPX/Compressor. This company makes a plug-in, which I have to say I have no experience with. Here is a thread that may give you some other ideas. Good luck.

How can I convert an InputStream to a FileInputStream ???

How can I convert an InputStream to a FileInputStream ???

Thanks for you reply, however, I am still stuck.
I am trying to convert my application (which runs smoothly) to a signed applet. The following is the original (application) code:
private void loadConfig() {
String fileName = "resources/groupconfig";
File name = new File(fileName);
if(name.isFile()) {
try {
     ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileName));
     pAndGConfig = (PAGroupsConfig)in.readObject();
     in.close();
     return;
} catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
     System.err.println("++ERROR: "+e);
} catch(IOException e) {
     System.err.println("++ERROR: "+e);
System.out.println("Can't find file: " + fileName);
Because all code and resources now reside in a Jar file (for the signed applet), I must use the following line to access the resources:
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(fileName);
I then need to convert the 'InputStream' to 'ObjectInputStream' or 'FileInputStream' so that I can work with it.
I would be very grateful if you could help shed some light on the matter - Cobram

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

It's almost impossible. The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that. Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15. In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum. I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.

How can I convert an array off byte into an Object ?

Hi folks...
I�m developing an application that comunicates a PDA and a computer via Wi-Fi. I�m using a DataStream ( Input and Output ) to receive / send information from / to the computer. Most off the data received from him is in the byte[] type...
How can I convert an array off byte ( byte[] ) into an Object using MIDP 2.0 / CLDC 1.1 ?
I found on the web 2 functions that made this... but it uses a ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream classes that is not provided by the J2ME plataform...
How can I do this ?
Waiting answers
Rodrigo Kerkhoff

There are no ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream classes in CLDC. You must know what you are writing to and reading from the DataStream. You should write the primitives like int, String to the DataOutputstream at one end and read those in exactly the same sequence at the outher end using readInt(), readUTF() methods.

How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

Hi Plissey1950,
Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response. Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them). If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
Thanks,
David
