How can I update the Tiger software on an IMAC G5 17" widescreen computer that was corrupted?
I bought a used IMAC G5 17" widescreen computer. It boots up, but does not go to the IMAC screen. I think it had the OS X originally.
I'm new to the MAC computer OS.
It has a 2GHZ PowerPC G5 processor
512 on-chip level 2 cache running at 2GHZ
512MB of DDR SDRAM
160GB Serial ATA hards drive
Slot loading SuperDrive (DVD+r)
17" screen
ATI Radeon 9600 graphics LCD display
built in Airport Extreme Card for wireless networking (802.11g)
built in Bluetooth 2.0 EDR
Included software MAC OS X.
I need to know the simplest steps to download a bootable DVD to upgrade the OS. If I can get the OS to work again. I'll use this for an everyday computer.
Thanks, Dean
There are no legitimate downloads of Mac OS software.
That should be modified to say There are no legitimate downloads of Mac OS software that will run with your computer.
Mac App Store downloads of 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 may be purchased directly off the Mac App Store, but they can not run on a G5, or early Intel Macs.
Now another thing to mention is, dinohhr2, you didn't say which software is included in your purchase. Some people may include 10.4.0, 10.4.3, 10.4.6
in its retail variety, and that looks like: https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-2541-30-43244/ti ger.jpg
and does not say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM on it. If they did, you have lucked out, and can upgrade to 10.4.11 free:
Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (PPC)

When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?
The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

I have updated my ipod touch but i have to update iphone and ipad 1 and ipad2 . How can I save the udated software in order to avoid teh time for downloading it again each time
Even though the downloads are for the same iOS version number, they are different downloads and you can't use an iPod iOS update to update an iPhone or iPad etc. The iPad 1 and iPad 2 are also different downloads. So you will need to download different updates for your iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad 1 and the iPad 2.

How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?
I have osx 10.3.x and i want to update to the highest possible. Please help!!!!! i cant find the download. And i dont want to lose any data!!Depending upon the specific model you have you can upgrade to either 10.4.x or 10.5.x. Neither are available from Apple any longer, so you will need to look to eBay or Amazon for copies. Be sure to only purchase retail copies and not gray labled machine-specific copies.
If your eMac came with 10.3 originally and has a clock speed of 1 GHz or higher, then you can install Leopard, 10.5.x.
If you don't want to lose data then make backups. -
How can I update the firmware all at once
I'm a tech support in a school, approximately our school has over 500 laptops, how can I update the firmware on all laptops at once?
Apple Configurator is the software you want - and it's free from Apple. However, I'm dubious that firmware can be updated all at once.

How Can I Update the coils on Quantum PLC...
Dear Sir,
I am in the process of configuring Lookout4.5 build9 with Quantum PLC.
I am trying to write two O/p coils of the PLC using two latchgate
objects. I am using two different set of push buttons for latching
and unlatching the two latchgates. After this I have directly
connected the two latchgates to the O/P coils of Modbus object
in modbus ethernet mode of communication.
Now I am using the PLC simulator s/w of PLC to watch the status.
When I start the first pump (coil1) and Stop the second(coil2),
after sometime it is seen that the position is reversed such
that the coil1 is off and coil2 is On. Though here in Lookout
I see that the latchgate 1 is ON and latchgate2 is OFF.
I am
unable to understand this change over in the status of the coil.
I have read one of the documents on NI website (Document ID:15QA2P9C
"Why can't I update the coils on Quantum PLC without reading them
back in?" Report dated:01/27/98). I think my problem is similar
to that.
So please tell me a proper method of updating the coils on Quantum
PLC or how can I update the coils by reading them back ?
OR is there any problem regarding the modbus.cbx file, if so please
send me the latest modbus.cbx for Lookout4.5
Waiting for your earliest response...
Yours Truly,
Girish Nalgirkar
Theta Controls
Pune, India.The KnowledgeBase that you refered to is 3-1/2 years old, and the problem in the modbus driver is long-since fixed. Their are no other known issues with the Modbus driver.
The method you are using to update the coil sounds appropriate. What I would first verify is that Lookout is not sending a command to toggle the coil.
1) Write the simplest possible process that shows the problem (ie 2 pushbuttons, the modbus object, 1 latchgate).
2) Create a "modbus.ini" file in your Lookout directory. Place the following in the modbus.ini file:
[ethernet]
DiagnosticPath=c:\
3) Run your program until the problem occurs. If it does, find the "modbus1" file created in the C:\ directory. This file contains a log of all modbus communication that moved back and forth. Check the
log to see if Lookout sent a command to the PLC. If no command was sent, then the change occurred internal to the PLC software.

How can we update the last synchronization date and time..on SUP in sccm 2012 R2
Hi,
Can you any one please guide me how can i update the last synchronization date & time in SUP on SCCM2012 r2 , some how its updated as future date and when ever i try to synch the SUP with disconnected WSUS its shows in the wsyncmgr.log
"Wakeup for a polling cycle " and " Wakeupby inbox drop" and "Wakeup by SCF change"
Thanks
Balaji KYou'll probably have to call CSS on this one as this not normal by any means. The messages you noted above are completely normal but if that's all you are seeing then there's an issue.
Have you reviewed wcm.log and wsusctrl.log?

How can i update the itunes in my external hard drive?
When i try to update the itunes on my external hard drive, it creates a new application in my computers hard drive. How can i update the one on my external hard drive?
there's no advantage to having the application on your external drive, you should leave it in your applications folder on your internal drive. if you insist on changing the app's location, you'll always have to then copy the app by hand to the external drive
