How do I prepare G4 with external HD for internal HD replacement?

My G4, bought in 2005, is becoming unstable. I want to prepare for replacing the internal HD. I have an external Firewire 186 GB Seagate HD that is only partially utilized for storing photographic images. I have the original install disks for OS X 10.4 and for many - but not all - of the applications on the internal HD. MS Office might not have another install privilege and Adobe can be difficult about reusing their product serial numbers. I assume that the authorization codes for purchased downloads are stored somewhere on the internal HD.
Can I move the applications to the external HD while I replace the internal HD, reinstall the OS and the Intego security suite, set up the WLAN codes, and update the OS? I would not need to run the applications from the external HD but I would want to reinstall them from there onto the new internal HD if that is at all possible.

Hi Oliver, and a warm welcome to the forums!
First, how much space is free on the external drive, and how much is used on the Internal drive?
The best way would be to Clone the Internal to the external drive, without erasing anything on the external, which if you have enough space can be done if we take care with additional instructions to follow if needed.
After we know the answers to these questions...

    The iWorks prebundled with Mac Minis is a demo release, and not fully featured.  Unless you mean you downloaded iWorks from the Mac App Store at a later time, it really can't be freely re-downloaded as fully featured. 
    Use this link if you got it from the Mac App Store and can't find get it to redownload normally: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

  • How to integration obiee Authentication with external app?

    now i need integrate obiee with external app(web application).
    one user have 2 roles. one is teacher, others is school admin.
    when he login in external app, the first screen show teacher and school amdin. he click teacher login in this system.
    after user login in . system set the role into session.
    then he want to see obiee dashboard in external app side.
    in obiee side, i need do some resources control for this role.
    but i how to get this role? i can get the two roles from LDAP server. but i need confirm user login in external app use which role?
    i no idea for this .please help me.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    Sounds like your OBIEE apps needs to be able to get the role from the session (I assume database session), which means OBIEE needs to be able to get the same session from the external app. Does the external app set a cookie or something that would identify the session? If so use that cookie in OBIEE to get the session? More than likely need more details of the architecture of you external application!

  • How to stop sleep/hibernation with external display & lid down

    What is the proper way to get my MBA to not sleep, hibernate, etc. when I have an external display attached and lid closed while watching a movie or webcast. In such a case I am not touching the mouse, trackpad, or keyboard.
    I have bluetooth keyboard and usb wireless mouse attached.
    I also disabled the sleep/poweroff options in the energy settings while watching.
    The MBA still would go to sleep or something after 10 or 15 minutes of no agitation.
    Also, the Monitor goes blank since their is not signal coming through to it.
    Was this just not a use case that was thought through: Watch video stream with external monitor and lid closed? Make sure the MBA knows this scenario invalidates the powersave options????? And yes, the power was plugged.
    Thanks

    Caffeine puts a little coffee cup icon at the top bar. Click to turn it off and on - it is on when the cup is dark, ie has coffee in it. However, this won't solve your problem - the MBA will still sleep with the lid closed. There are settings to allow use of an external monitor but what I did was download InsomniaX. This little free app keeps your computer from going to sleep when you close the lid. That way you can close the lid, walk down a hall or do something, then open the lid and keep working. Just don't forget it is on and leave the Mac too long or it will run out of battery.
    Insomnia isn't in the App store, had to download it at http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22211/insomniax

  • How to make AEC work with external webcam?

    Hi everyone.
    What I'm trying to do is to make AEC work with external webcams. My target: flash in browser and desktop AIR app.
    I have the following situations:
    1. Laptop Lenovo S400, really not the best laptop, with MIC placed right above the speakers. But... AEC works excellent!
    2. PC with Logitech 1080p webcam (which has stereo microphones) and external speakers. But... AEC doesn't work at all. It even doesn't try to reduce any speakers sound in microphone data.
    3. The same laptop with connected Logitech camera and again - AEC doesn't work.
    In each situation I use absolutaly the same environment(Win7, target player - 11.9, Flex 4.6.0 SDK), code, compiller, etc..
    And I was unable to find any info for such situation.
    Does anybody have experience with such problem? I will be really grateful for any help.
    Here are parts of code:
    //  somwhere early...
    _microphone = Microphone.getEnhancedMicrophone();
    //  called before we attach microphone to NetStream
    private function _setMicrophoneMode():void
                _microphone.setLoopBack(false);
                _microphone.framesPerPacket = 1;
                _microphone.setSilenceLevel(0, 2000);
                _microphone.codec = SoundCodec.SPEEX;
                _microphone.encodeQuality = 10;
                _microphone.gain = 50;
                _microphone.rate = 44;
                if (_useEchoSuppression)
                var options:MicrophoneEnhancedOptions = _microphone.enhancedOptions;
                options.mode = MicrophoneEnhancedMode.HALF_DUPLEX;// using this for external webcams
                options.echoPath = 128;
                options.nonLinearProcessing = true;
                _microphone.enhancedOptions = options;
                } else
                    _microphone.setUseEchoSuppression(true);
                    trace(_microphone);

    I think that with the current state of the Adobe AIR Adobe FLash platforms, there is too much work to do to get echo cancellation to work on all platforms, and to get video to work as expected too. I think Adobe could solve many of these issues by implementing native WebRTC into the AIR platform, see this post here:

  • How to convert the table with separate fields for every period

    Hi there,
    I have the table in R/3 called COSP. The table contains the separate fields for values of separate reporting periods, let's say Amount01, Amount02 etc. I need to extract this data to BW and load it into ODS, which contains the data like common key figure for amount and info object Fiscal Period. How to extract and tansform the data to be able to load it there?
    I mean, how to change the row like:
    100 100 200 200....
    for rows like:
    001 100
    002 100
    003 200
    004 200
    I hope you'll help,
    Kooyot

    Hi,
    you need to implement a bit of coding for that.
    With the 'do varying' statement abap provides a loop over those fields. Within this loop you can build up a new internal table with one entry for each period and amount.
    kind regards
    Siggi
    PS: I am not very familiar with CO, but I guess there will be a standard extractor for that.
