How Do I Open IMac- Must Clear Dust Away

I have suffered from irritating loud fan noise for too long. One post recommended cleaning dust away. After trying suggestions from many advisors on the forum discussions, and a trip to the Apple Store i stumbled on a post that worked for someone in my predicament: CLEAN THE DUST AWAY. So please advise: How do i open my G5 properly, and please provide tips on using canned air and vaccuuming? Thanks.
iMac 1.8GHz PowerPC G5, 1.5GB DDR SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.10) generation prior to iSight camera installed

Used a vacuum and open your iMac, providing it's not a iPhoto by loosening the screws on the underside of the bezel.. If it's an iSight, the warranty is voided if you open the case. You can find instructions here http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac/.

Clearing: how to get open items with net amount?

Hi
I need to obtain the open items for clearing <b>with the net amount</b> as it shows up in the transaction FB05 after considering any discounts that may apply. The BAPI BAPI_AR_ACC_GETOPENITEMS does not calculate the net amount.
I see that the data is calculated in SAPMF05B and saved in the internal table POSTAB which has the structure RFOPS. Basically i need to obtain the data of this internal table.
I was thinking of exporting the table in some user exit, but didn't find any suitable exit yet.
Any ideas anyone...?
Thanks for any hint.

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply..
==============================================================
Basically create one ckf and two rkfs for each aging bucket
ie ckf 0-30 days = rkf 0-30 days open + rkf 0-30 days subsequently cleared
Because you need to restate the AP report to a key date - some items have changed their status since that key date but were open at the key date (ie we call those subsequently cleared)
so rkf 0-30 days open is
posting date <= key date
item status = O
net due date between variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset 0 and variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset -30
rkf 0-30 days subsequently cleared is
posting date <= key date
cleared date > variable date (which reads cmod of key date)
net due date between variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset 0 and variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset -30
========================================================================
In the above two cases, while creating restricted key figures how to design this;
net due date between variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset 0 and variable date (cmod which reads key date) offset -30
And also after creation of two rkfs i created a ckf i.e ckf = rkf1+rkf2.
Now i dragged this ckf into columns and when i checked the query it is giving error that key date variable is used more than once. ( Bcz we have used key date variable both in rkf1 and rkf2 for getting posting date <= to key date )
What is the solution for this ?

You can even use the Pages app that is installed on your computer. Finally you can buy a license of Office for Mac and have Word, Excel, PowerPoint and if you want Outlook too.

I made a bootable disc on an external hard drive, with Yosemite on it. I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac. How can I open the Yosemite disc from the desktop on my iMac? Does the external hard drive need to be connected to my iMac by firewire to do that?

Snow Leopard's Startup Disk pref can’t see Yosemite volumes. So the only way to switch from Snow Leopard to Yosemite is to do what Niel mentioned. Doesn't matter whether it's connected by USB or Firewire, although performance via FW would be faster.
Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

I have received emails with attachments such as .wmv .avi etc How do I open them on my new iMac ?

How do I open attachments such as .

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear/play pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs running Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard, but has not been tested on Lion, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/adobeshockwaveplayer.ht ml
Note that if are running an Intel Mac you need version 11 of Shockwave Player as previous versions only run natively on PPC Macs:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/822/82216d24.html
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs using OS X prior to Lion,, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/10/29/apples_ios_pushes_microsoft_to_dia l_down_silverlight_for_html5.html and
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11673384
Recommendation: Close all applications before installing any of the above, repair permissions, reboot, and repair permissions again.

Use Microsoft Excel or a compatible app.

In what app? Or are we playing Twenty Questions?
Excel 2008 should be able to open it, but not play any of the macros. Excel 2011 should be able to open it and play the macros -- unless they contain Win-specific code. OpenOffice/NeoOffice/LibreOffice's Calc should also be able to open it, but the extent to which it will be able to play the macros also depends on the code.

Alas, you can't.
You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.
Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). (It's possible to copy Draw documents into a Word Processing document in order to open them in Pages, but you need AppleWorks to do this in the first place.)
Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.
This seven-page article examines migrating from AppleWorks in some detail:

You are in the iPad forum.
Open your Applications folder - find Safari in the applications, and double click on the icon in there. You may have a corrupt alias in the dock at the bottom.

I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8. When downloading "some" files to my computer, these files become "zip files." When I open the zip file, it produces a document in some coding language. How can I open the file to produce a legible document?

I have a 2007 iMac with version 10.6.8 and 4GB of expanded memory. When downloading "some" emailed documents, the downloaded file becomes a "zip file," which when opened looks like a coded message. How can I open the "zip file" so that it produces a legible document? Please, help!! thank you!!!

A "zip file" is a compressed file. "Zipping" in principle does not and cannot change the contents. So that if the contents before zipping are garbage, or unreadable on a Mac, when you expand the file you will get garbage or an unreadable file.
The first thing to verify therefore is whether the file, before it was zipped, was in a "Mac friendly" format. Can you do that?
You do not need an App to zip or unzip. These functions are built in on our Macs.
And yes, zipping and unzipping using the built in functionality, work fine in OS 10.6.8. And 10.7 and 10.8 and 10.9.
