How to store G3 iBook and battery long term

Need to leave our old G3-500Mhz white iBook for many months at a time. (1) Do I remove the battery when it has about 50% charge or ? (2) Do I leave the iBook plugged into an a/c power supply or disconnected?
Many thanks.

dga1966, Welcome to the discussion area!
Apple recommends (http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html): If you don’t plan on using your notebook for more than six months, Apple recommends that you remove and store the battery with a 50% charge.
BTW, this is the iBook G4 discussion area.

How to store/manipulate Date and long text fields with Dictionary project

I am able to save string values into my backend (SQL Server) database in my web dynpro project but I am getting errors dealing with my date string and my long text (comments) field.
I want to figure out both how I need to define the fields in the dictionary project, how to define the context variables in web dynpro, and how to code the statements to pull the values out of the context and into fields I can use in my SQL insert.
Currently I have the date defined in the dictionary project as "date" and the comments as a 256-character string.
In the web dynpro context I have the date field defined as "date" and the comments field defined as "string". Should I define a 256-character string type and use that as field type??
In the code I am using the following to get the values:
     String s9 = (String) wdContext.nodeReceipt().getElementAt(wdContext.nodeReceipt().getLeadSelection()).getAttributeValue("Comments");
String s5 = (String) wdContext.nodeReceipt().getElementAt(wdContext.nodeReceipt().getLeadSelection()).getAttributeValue("DateReceived");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/mm/yyyy");
     try {
     Date dt = sdf.parse(s5);
     } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
I then try to insert all of my values with the following code:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/SAP/BC_JMS");
java.sql.Connection con = ds.getConnection();
java.sql.Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate("insert into AVD_GEN_REC(VENDOR,DATE_RECEIVED,TOTAL_PIECES,LOGGED_BY," +
     "ADDRESSED_TO,BLDG_NO,CARRIER,TRACKING_NO, COMMENTS) values('s1','s5','s2','s6','s3','s7','s4','s8','s9')");
   } catch (Exception e) {
         wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Exception "+e.getMessage());
Any help/ideas would be appreciated...

The comment error seems to have resolved itself but I still get an error with the date field:
Exception The SQL statement "INSERT INTO "AVD_GEN_REC" ("VENDOR","DATE_RECEIVED","TOTAL_PIECES","LOGGED_BY","ADDRESSED_TO","BLDG_NO","CARRIER","TRACKING_NO","COMMENTS") VALUES ('s1','d5','s2','s6','s3','s7','s4','s8','s9')" contains the semantics error[s]: type check error: new value (element number 2) is not assignable to column "DATE_RECEIVED"
The DATE_RECEIVED is defined in the data dictionary as "date", the context variable "DateReceived" is also a "date", and the statement to pull d5 is being stored to a "Date". Is there a difference between the "Date" and "date"?
Date d5   = wdContext.currentReceiptElement().getDateReceived();

How many cycles should ibook G4 battery last for?

I got my ibook last year right before school started and still love it. The only problem is the battery seems to be dying on me. I've heard that the batteries should last about 2 years or maybe a little less.
Mine says its gone through about 270 cycles, and it dies in about 5-10 minutes without being plugged in now, even with the screen brightness on the lowest and energy saver being used etc...
I just wanted to know if this is common or if it isnt how I would go about getting a new battery because I dont have the $ to pay for one unfortunately but I need my ibook for schoolwork.

Welcome to Discussions!
Apple's batteries are designed to hold upto 80% of their charge after 300 cycles. Of course, its "upto", and not guaranteed.
You can try this to see if you can't get a little bit more out of it: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284

How to store Connection object and call it from other programs.

Hi,
I am trying to connect to the database, store the connection object and use this connection object from other standalone java programs.
Can any one tell me how to do this? I've tried in the following way:
In the following program I am connecting to the database and saving the connection object in a variable.
public class GetKT2Connection {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String url = "jdbc:odbc:SQLDsn;
      String dbUser = "sa";
      String dbPwd = "sa";
      Connection kt2conn = Connection connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(url, dbUser, dbPwd);
      if(kt2conn == null) {
         System.out.println("Database Connection Failure!");
      else {
         System.out.println("Connected to Database...");
     GetKTConnectionObj.storeKT2ConnectionObj(kt2conn);
} Here is the program to save connection object in a variable.
public class GetKTConnectionObj {
   static Connection kt2Connection = null;
   public static void storeKT2ConnectionObj(Connection conn) {
   kt2Connection = conn;
   public static Connection getKT2ConnectionObj() {
   try {
      return kt2Connection;
   catch(Exception e){
      System.out.println(e);
return null;
}Now from the following code I am trying to get the connection object that is stored. But this is throwing NullPointerException.
public class Metrics_Migration {
public static void main(String args[]) {
     try {
    java.sql.Connection connection_1 =   GetKTConnectionObj.getKT6ConnectionObj();
     catch(Exception e){
}

kt2Connection is null. You need to store it first, to make it not null. Otherwise it will stay null forever. And why on earth are you trying to do this THIS way?
If you are running the two applications separately, it wont work either.

How to store lead-time and price per MPN for a single Item

We are probably one of the only CEM's that use Oracle Applications in a one-to-one MPN-IPN (Oracle Item Part Number) relationship. We do not currently store multiple Manufacturers under a single Item. Rather, we use the Customer Item Cross Reference to rank the customer's AML, with each IPN tied to a single MPN.
We are looking at moving into a one-to-many "world" in Oracle but are not sure how we can handle different pricing, lead-time, preference, status (prototype, production, obsolete, do not use), etc. for each Manufacturer's Part Number under a single Item. How are other CM's handling this???

Hi Greg,
Unfortunately, DIAdem Datafinder doesn't really support much in the way
of Date/Time search outside of the File Level Creation Date property.
In order to make the creation time of the Channels searchable you would
want to create some custom properties (or use the existing RegisterInt1
- RegisterInt6) to define your own searchable properties.
For example, since you know that you have one TDM file per day, you can
start your search by find the desired day on the File Property Level,
searching the "Creation Date" property. When you store your TDM
properties, you could store the hour creation as an integer (and
thereby searchable) in one of the RegisterInt properties of the
channel, or create your own custom "Hour" channel. You could similarly
save the minute and second property in their own custom properties.
Then, since you're saving integer values, you can then search those
values to determine the time that the channel was created.
I realize that this isn't ideal or elegant, as in total it requires 4
searches (date, hour, minute, second). But that is the most
straightforward way of searching your channels by creation date/time.
Hope this helps Greg, let me know if you have any other questions.

How to store test parameters and recall

I have built a AC Motor Tester using cDAQ. The tester is in production and running well. The next step I need to tackle is to Record the test parameters that the operator is currently having to enter each time she changes to a different motor. We have several hundred different motor test specifications consisting of 22 different inputs. (1 string, 1-I16, 8-dbl, 4-Boolean, 2-I8, 1-U16). I want to set it up so if the Part Number has not been entered yet, it is recorded. If the Part Number is already in the TDMS file, all of the Value Properties are set from the data in the TDMS file.
I have wrote a small VI as to how I am trying to appraoch this problem. However, it is looking very convoluted. Is there a better way to do this?
Attachments:

My favorite way to store that kind of parameters is INI files. Create an INI file for each new motor and store the parameters in it.
Another way is to use XML files (there are really great XML toolkits)

How to store a file and refer it from another file using the Binary cache?

Hello,
I think it's a long shot but I thought I will give it a try.
I am creating an excel file from an xml String using the Web Dynpro Binary cache.
The problem is that when columns with numbers are involved an extra #agg column is being added by the excel "flattener" which is in charge of rendering the excel file from the xml String.
The only way to override this excel feature is to supply your own XSLT and reference it from the XML. Now, since I am not using an actual filesystem but the Web Dynpro Binary cache, is it possible to use this cache in order to store there the xslt and refer it later from an XML?
Roy

Hi,
Just found out this.. See if you can make use of it..
getPublicCachedWebResource(byte[] webResource, WDWebResourceType resourceType, WDScopeType scopeType, WDDeployableObjectPart deployableObjectpart, String key)
<i> returns a IWDCachedWebResource, <b>which is saved directly to the WDDeployableObject directory.</b></i>
you can make WDDeployableObject as your component and point the reference to the component folder.. Since you are specifying a scope type.. it shoukd be deleted after the scope defined...
Lemme know if this works..:)

How to replace an ibook 12" battery?

i just got an new battery, because the original is 2,5 years old an not running smoothly anymore. so far, so good! but i'd like to make sure i don't do anything STUPID when replacing the old one.
Do I just plug the battery in and start recharging? And can I use the ibook while it charges?
thanx for your help, whoever you are

Hi, Chris. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The first time out, you need to charge the battery all the way up as the first step in calibrating it.
After that, follow Apple's suggestions for getting the longest life and lifespan out of your battery:

Technical information about the battery can be found here:

Good luck with the new battery.

How to store iphone pictures and video directly to storage device without PC or MAC? Using TV as display.

My dad has a iphone, but no longer has a PC. He does not want to buy a new computer, he is retired now and has no use for a PC or MAC. He does not have high speed internet to his house, just cellular service. He does not want to save pictures to the cloud. I would like to find him a external hard drive that can save all the pictures from his iphone with a usb cable, airplay, wifi or bluetooth file transfer, without using the internet or a PC or MAC. High speed internet is not available in is area.

He's going to have a problem...
iomega used to make something called the 'superhero'.
http://www.amazon.com/Iomega-SuperHero-Backup-Charger-iPhone/dp/B004FPYL56
It would allow him to back up the photos and his contacts, but that's pretty much it.
Without a computer, it's either that or a cloud service.

How to store Tableview layout and restore it during FXML load?

How can we get the Tableview column sequence and the corresponding column sizes?
Once stored, how can i use that information while loading my FXML via my controller class in the initialize() method?
Please let me know if anyone has any tips or pointers.

I defined a primary key over all the dimension keys in the fact table but for some reason the build still uses an aggregation. Probably because the aggregation operator for the cube I'm currently playing with is actually set, and I don't see a way to undefine it from the UI toolbar you are referring to. This is a piece of mapping section from the workspace file I exported using AWM.:
<CubeMap
      Name="MAP1"
      IsSolved="False"
      Query="POT_BATH_T"
      AggregationMethod="SUM">
Looks like the build aggregates because it is clearly told to so by the AggregationMethod attribute? Any way to override it?

How to store forms and reports in database

Hi friends,
How to store the forms and reports in database?
when i save a form in database it doesnt prompt with any message
and when i try to retrieve from the list it prompts me with a
message
can anyone suggest me the methods of storing the forms in the
database and retriving from it.

I believe this will help you
To store forms & Reports in Database you need to run some
scripts which are shipped with Oracle
To install the SQL scripts:
Start the Oracle Installer and select Custom Installation or
Removal from the Oracle Developer Installation Options dialog
box.
Select Oracle Developer Database Tables from the Available
Products list.
Click Install.
Installing these scripts creates a Start menu item called Oracle
Developer R6.0 Admin and the associated submenu items Oracle
Developer Build, Oracle Developer Drop, Oracle Developer Grant,
and Oracle Developer Revoke. These menu items, when selected,
run a script or a series of scripts to perform database
administration tasks.
Note: I tried to store forms in the database by creating tables
but in forms fmb will store in database & fmx will store on
clients machine so you have to install fmx on all client machines
I tried to store fmx in database but..................!
If any body knows how to store FMX in database let me know.
