How can I replace missing network prefspane in 10.5.8?

Is there a way to replace a missing Network PrefPane on a G5 Mac Pro running 10.5.8?
I Bought this machine to use as a movie streaming machine via Apple TV. But I did not receive the original installation discs.
DOwnloaded the 10.5.8 upgrade but it does not remedy the problem.
IT would be hard for me to justify the 100+ cost of new Leopard disks, so I'm hopeful there's another solution.

After backing up the suspect hard drive, I ran Disk Repair on it and found no problems. Then ran Disk Warrior again and no problems. It is a Hitachi, btw.
As for the PrefPane issue: Repairing disk permissions on the main volume and on the partition that holds the system did not make any difference.
Reinstalled the 10.5.8 upgrade, performed safe start and then repaired permissions again. Still getting a blank PrefPane for network.
Next step is to try and trash the System Configuration plist and Network Interfaces plist.

  • How can I replace the Special Character        '

    Hi Guru ,
    I want replace one Special Chareacter into space .
    Example -
    There have one variable .
    L_VAR = BANGA'LORE
    I want to delete the special character ( ' ) which is between A and L .
    Whenever I am tryiny to use replcae statement , it will show one Error Message .
    REPLACE ''' IN L_VAR WITH ' '.
    IT WILL GIVE ONE ERROR MESSAGE - " Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted."
    How Can I replace this .

    Hi Tarak Dey,
    This error
    Literals that take up more than one line are not permitted
    is not for the Replace statement. You would have missed a PERIOD in some statement before this.
    When we see the code that you have pasted,
    L_VAR = BANGA'LORE
    here period is missing at the end of the line. The error could be because of that.
    Kindly check.
    Best Regards,
    Ram.

    Hi!
    I use my laptop only for connect to my work, but every time i need to switch the last local user and click in the Network Logon icon in the bottom right corner, how can i make the network logon my default logon environment ?

    Hi,
    Logon process cannot be easily replaced, but if your concern is just to ignore it, we can use auto logon to bypass the manual logon process:

  • How can I replace an administrators account?

    I have an older Powerbook G4 laptop that someone else would like. How can I replace the adminsitrator's account?

    Hi Bob,
    2 ways to go...
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

    You've been down this path before  - and the response is exactly the same.
    how to replace cursor logic
    And I'll suggest that you post the entire code - since you repeatedly delete 2 table variables but only populate one. The setting of @maxID also seems to have no purpose. And perhaps the issue here isn't the cursor but the general approach.  Who knows
    - but it appears you may have prematurely assumed that the cursor is the problem.

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • How can i share my network from timecapsule to other devices. The thing is i can use access internet from my macbook only.

    I have recently got a Time Capsule with my Macbook pro retina 15". I am trying to setup my time capsule as a wifi station at my home. But the thing is I can only access wifi from my lap only.
    How can I share my network from timecapsule to other devices, and im using OS X 10.8.2
    Please help me!
    Thanks in advance!
    (sorry for the bad english)

    How is the TC currently connected into the network?
    It should work fine in bridge and create a wireless network.. it should already be able to share the network without being the main router.
    Setting up wireless from wireless is difficult.
    I would recommend you buy the USB to ethernet cable Apple sell as an accessory for Air and MBPr so you can actually use ethernet when required.

  • How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

    How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
    How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
    All  newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the  value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
    Procedure
    1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
    a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
    b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
    c) Save the file.
    d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
    e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
    f) Log  in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want  to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
    g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
    2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
    3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
    4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
    RequestCenter_0.properties
    RequestCenter_1.properties
    RequestCenter_2.properties
    RequestCenter_3.properties
    RequestCenter_4.properties
    RequestCenter_5.properties
    RequestCenter_6.properties
    RequestCenter_7.properties
    5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate  RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner  (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
    Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
    If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you  would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
         699=General Inbox
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
    String ID  File Name
    0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
    1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
    2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
    3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
    4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
    5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
    6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
    7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
    6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
    7. Restart RequestCenter.
    Your customized text should be displayed.

    I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
    However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page.  Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
    Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button.  We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

  • How can I Replace a Hard Drive on a 160gb iPod Classic?

    How can I Replace a Hard Drive on a 160gb iPod Classic? I am considering buying an iPod Classic off of eBay which is described as 'broken' and having the 'Red X' showing up on the screen. The seller is starting the bid at a very low price, which raises some concerns for me. For this thread, let us assume that the iPod has a broken hard drive that needs to be replaced in order to function properly. I am assuming that merely 'restoring' it would not suffice. How would I be able to replace the hard drive myself, without bringing it in to a store? I have never fixed an iPod's hardware before, nor a computer or any electrical device. I am a novice at such things. Would I be able to fix it myself without wasting money on a broken iPod and new hard drive? Please provide instructions on how to do so =)

    Hello there,
    Yes, the red X icon is usually a sign of a bad or damaged hard drive. Sometimes, restoring the iPod will resolve the issue, but rarely. Other users were able to smack the ipod against the side of their leg and gain back full functionality of the iPod.
    However, if no such luck with either, your next option would be to replace the drive. For this task, you can either opt to repair and replace the hard drive yourself, or opt to send it into a third party repair business to do the job for you.
    I use the guides at [www.ifixit.com|http://www.ifixit.com> to help me replace broken parts on an iPod. These guides provide excellent step-by-step instructions as well as photos on how to repair any part from an iPod.
    Some other good sites for purchasing repair parts include the following:
    [iDemiGods|http://www.idemigods.com>
    [RapidRepair|http://www.rapidrepair.com>
    [iResq|http://www.iresq.com>
    Lastly, I would also like to remind you that ebay also has several great deals on excellent iPod replacement parts. It's where I purchase a majority of mine.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I replace my IPhone in France?

    How can I replace my IPhone in France? I have bought an IPhone 5 in Paris and now its display is broken and the warranty is expired. Can I ask someone to do the replacement for me there?

    If you bought the iPhone in Paris, and live in another EU country, the warranty and out-of-warranty service will be valid throughout the EU.  If you do not live in the EU, then you must send the iPhone to someone you trust in France to handle the out-of-warranty replacement for you.
