How can I perform a hardware selftest on a iMac 2010 with Mavericks?

Since a few weeks my mid 2010 iMac model with Mavericks installed "hangs-up" after not being used for some time. The only way to get it going again is to press the power button and power it up again. I disconnect all hardware but that did not help. I'm thing to perform a hardware self test but how do I do it. Keeping "D" pressed and reboot was not ok because my model is not supported. Please HELP!

  • How can you perform a factory restore on an iMac running mountain lion, without the use of an apple id

    Hello!
    I am a computer tech working for a computer company.  We have an iMac here in the store which a customer needs restored to factory defaults. 
    I have tried the following:
         - Using 'command + r' to format and reinstall mountain lion (it is requesting an apple id that has purchased the mountain lion OS)
         - Using 'option' on boot up, same seneraio
    Is their any other way to perform some kind of equavilent procedure that would ready a iMac for re-selling?
    It's almost as though I need to purchase a copy of the operating system that has already come preinstalled on this system.
    Im not a mac savy user, maybe it's something simple i am missing.  Any help with this would be greatly appreiated!  Thanks in advance!

    You must have the account credentials for the account that was used to purchase Mountain Lion (this iMac was upgraded) presumably the customer.

    Boot the iMac, go to Apple>About This Mac>System Report, post the model identifier here (under hardware, 2nd line down)

  • How can I sync my contacts and calender of Outlook 2010 with my iPhone?

    I recently acquired a new PC with *windows 7 prof* and *outlook 2010* and whilst I am receiving mail, my contacts and calender are not syncronising?

    Do you have sync contacts and sync calendar events with Outlook selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If not and your Outlook address book and calendar are empty, before selecting this and the first sync for this data, enter one contact and one calendar event in Outlook. This should provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

  • How can I perform a bulk assignment to one Task

    Hi All,
    I would like to allow all resources to assign some of their time to a cProjects Task (XXXX Implementation plan). How can I perform a bulk assignment to this task, instead of performing individual assignments?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Not quite sure I fully understand your question. When you go to the "roles" tab of a task you are allowed to assign multiple resources to a task either from the same role or different roles. The total work or effort for the task can be distributed accross the multiple assignments.

    Hey floridiansue,
    Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook?  If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

  • How can i perform a search on my external hard drive on my mac pro os x 10.9.2 ?

    how can i perform a search on my external hard drive on my mac pro os x 10.9.2 ?

    Mac OS X 10.9.2 is 12 years newer than 9.2.x.    You need to make sure that Spotlight has indexed the external hard drive by adding it and removing it from Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy.   Check the menu for it:
    to determine if indexing is still going on, as it will say indexing.
    Alternatively, you can use a non-Spotlight tool, such as:
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware/ - EasyFind
    http://www.osxbytes.com/ - iFileX (note the MacUpdate link provided on osxbytes page has a Malware advertisement for MacKeeper, do not download).
    http://www.barebones.com/ Textwrangler has a Search file for content, which works on any Text file.

  • How can I perform this kind of range join query using DPL?

    How can I perform this kind of range join query using DPL?
    SELECT * from t where 1<=t.a<=2 and 3<=t.b<=5
    In this pdf : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/pdf/performing%20queries%20in%20oracle%20berkeley%20db%20java%20edition.pdf,
    It shows how to perform "Two equality-conditions query on a single primary database" just like SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col1 = A AND col2 = B using entity join class, but it does not give a solution about the range join query.

    I'm sorry, I think I've misled you. I suggested that you perform two queries and then take the intersection of the results. You could do this, but the solution to your query is much simpler. I'll correct my previous message.
    Your query is very simple to implement. You should perform the first part of query to get a cursor on the index for 'a' for the "1<=t.a<=2" part. Then simply iterate over that cursor, and process the entities where the "3<=t.b<=5" expression is true. You don't need a second index (on 'b') or another cursor.
    This is called "filtering" because you're iterating through entities that you obtain from one index, and selecting some entities for processing and discarding others. The white paper you mentioned has an example of filtering in combination with the use of an index.
    An alternative is to reverse the procedure above: use the index for 'b' to get a cursor for the "3<=t.b<=5" part of the query, then iterate and filter the results based on the "1<=t.a<=2" expression.
    If you're concerned about efficiency, you can choose the index (i.e., choose which of these two alternatives to implement) based on which part of the query you believe will return the smallest number of results. The less entities read, the faster the query.
    Contrary to what I said earlier, taking the intersection of two queries that are ANDed doesn't make sense -- filtering is the better solution. However, taking the union of two queries does make sense, when the queries are ORed. Sorry for the confusion.

  • How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

    How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

    This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
    anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
    for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
    after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
    permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files  in Cyrillic.
    I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
    allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I  am now asking for my
    money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
    not successful.

    I have about 10000 images of different persons with dimension of 640*480. I wan to crop face from these images to dimension of 200*280. The location of face varies in differnt pics. So, please let me know step by step how can I perform this using the Lightroom software. Also I wan to know what should be the aspect ratio to do so.Thank you in advance

    The aspect ratio should be set to 200x280, or equivalently 5x7.
    I don't think it is possible to do the cropping automatically in Lightroom, you'd have to do this image by image to crop the faces correctly.

  • How can I make  a "print screen" on my iMac?

    How can I make a Print Screen of my iMac? Also catching only a portion of the video?

    Hello redlion53,
    It sounds like you would like to take screenshots of either the entire screen or a portion of the screen. This article outlines how to perform this function:
    OS X: Taking pictures of your screen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5775
    Take a picture of your entire screen
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screen shot is added to your desktop.
    Take a picture of some of your screen
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.
    Take a picture of a specific window
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.
    This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
    To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
    Take a picture of a menu
    Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.
    To take a picture of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.
    To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
    Additional Information
    In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as PNG files on the desktop. They are automatically named "Screen shot (date and time).png".
    You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab app.
    Some apps, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of their windows.
    To capture a partial screen or a window selection to the Clipboard instead of a desktop file, use Command-Shift-Control-4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling
