How to use my old iBook - unix for what?

I have an iBook with Mac OS X 10.0.4. And a 40 GB HD.
Temporarily I have used it as a webserver, but I think it's shame that I can't use it for something better.
Do anyone of you have ideas for how to put it to use as a server of some kind? Or something.
(Is harware is ok apart from a few minor problems.)
Thanks!

I am a bit used to Unix things, but I'm no experienced admin.
So I just thought that I'd find something useful to run on my old IBook.
I think that I have a Developer CD, maybe. But a better idea is if I can download some binaries for whatever.
I then would be thankful for what old software should be interesting, also maybe just for a test. Such as sendmail, although I have no idea what that would give, more than some knowledge. I suspect that would be too complex for me. Earlier I had some Mac SMTP software, I think. Maybe system 9.
But I also do not know how easy it is to lay hands on old binaries. I have searched for other old things on the Internet, that seems hard to get hold of.
Thankful for all ideas!

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.

Using an old iBook as a file server...

Okay. So, right now I'm using an old Apple iBook G3. It's a Dual-USB 800 MHz version. It's running Panther 10.3.9...
In the near future (Two months, maybe) I'll be purchasing a new Macbook. I don't want to just pawn off my old mac, or throw it out (Everyone I know has new PC's. Giving them an old mac would be useless).
Plus, I know that once I move all the files I think I need on it, and toss it out, BAM! I'll realize I forgot a folder or something else on it. So what I want to know is...
Is there any way that I can use this old iBook as a file server in any way? I've seen such things as "Back to My Mac" which does what i want it to, but (of course) is a leopard-to-leopard only feature. Is there any way that I can let this iBook sit on my home network (Wired in, if need be) and reach it from... say... Rochester?
Thanks for your time. Even if it is for a quick: "No."

You'll be more likely to get informed opinions if you ask in the iBook G3 forums rather than here in the MacBook area. When you repost, it will help if you describe what sort of "file server" you are thinking of; how many users, what types of files, etc. so that people have an idea of what your needs might be.

Yes, it's certainly possible. How easy will depend on large part on your ISP and your home network setup.

I have a very old (by computer standards) MacBook Pro, and a newer one. I've been using the old one mostly for iTunes, into which I have only CD entries. For a long time, years, the old MacBook pro ceased entering the song titles. This is very time consuming for me, so I finally investigated a bit further.
I discovered how to enter the track titles onto my newer MacBook Pro, and was so pleased! But when I tried to do the same with the other laptop, it failed.
What I did, basically, was what the Apple Help suggested--choose iTunes General Preferences, etc.etc. And yes, I did upgrade the old laptop to the newest iTunes version.
Am I just wasting my time here? Is there some reason why an older Mac Pro will not do what the newer one will, with regard to iTunes?
My older laptop is a 2.6 GHz Core Duo; it has 36 GB of "memory available." The newer one a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7. It has 284 GB of memory available.
Both are using the same version of Snow Leopard--10.6.8.

How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

Hello,
I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
"Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
where 'ABC' is the query name.
Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
A fast reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandhya

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

How to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

My flex project works fine using the below but when I upload my flash file to the server I doesn't work, all the relative paths and files are the same execpt the remote one is a linux server.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services-config>
    <services>
        <service id="amfphp-flashremoting-service"
            class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"
            messageTypes="flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage">
            <destination id="amfphp">
                <channels>
                    <channel ref="my-amfphp"/>
                </channels>
                <properties>
                    <source>*</source>
                </properties>
            </destination>
        </service>
    </services>
    <channels>
    <channel-definition id="my-amfphp" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
        <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
    </channel-definition>
    </channels>
</services-config>
I think the problem is the line
        <endpoint uri="http://localhost/domainn.org/amfphp/gateway.php" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
but I'm not sure how to use the same services-config for the local and remote servers.

You are confusing "served from a web-server" with "compiled on a web-server". Served from a web-server means you are downloading a file from the web-server, it does not necessarily mean that the files has been generated / compiled on the server.
The server.name and server.port tokens are replaced at runtime (ie. on the client when the swf has been downloaded and is running) not compile time (ie. while mxmlc / ant / wet-tier compiler is running). You do not need to compile on the server to take advantage of this.
Hi Paul,
In Flex, there is feature that lets developer to put all service-config.xml file configuration information into swf file. with
-services=path/to/services-config.xml
IF
services-config.xml
have tokens in it and user have not specified additional
-context-root
and this swf file is not served from web-app-server (like tomcat for example) than it will not work,
Flash player have no possible way to replace token values of service-config.xml file durring runtime if that service-config.xml file have been baked into swf file during compilation,
for example during development you can launch your swf file from your browser with file// protocol and still be able to access blazeDS services if
-services=path/to/services-config.xml
have been specified durring compilation.
I dont know any better way to exmplain this, but in summary there is two places that you can tell swf about service confogiration,
1) pass -services=path/to/services-config.xml parameter to compiler this way you tell swf file up front about all that good stuff,
or 2) you put that file on the webserver( in this case, yes you should have replacement tokens in that file) and they will be repaced at runtime .

I have a new mac and want my old photoshop on it , how get i the old serial key for the new ? My old mac is deleted ...

We would need to know the version of Mac OS you are running and the version of Photoshop you want to install.
The serial number is the tricky part. If you have no idea where you placed it and did not register your product with Adobe, your chances are very low of retrieving it.

How to use 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM' for deleting as some field
eg:
I have a inner table ,it contains a field named ast_guid,now,I search ten records,contains some duplicate records in the field of ast_guid.but I can not delete the duplicate records as ast_guid.

If the type of inner table is standard table, you should sort the inner table by the fields before user 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES ', and use COMPARING addtion.

SMP3 - AppDevelopment (Agentry):how to use GCM (Google cloud Messaging) for Agentry Application.

Hi, I have a question on SMP3 and AppDevelopment (Agentry): how to use GCM (Google cloud Messaging) for Agentry Application for PUSH notification

Pratik,
Let me walk you through the flow with the assumption that the user is on an Android device and "connected" to the Agentry server.
An emergency workorder is created in SAP and assigned to the technician.
The SAP backend system will notify the Agentry server via an XML message that there is a workorder to send.
Agentry will get the details and if the user is connected attempt to send the workorder to the device via the Push mechanism
If the push fails to reach the Agentry client, the Agentry server will send a GCM message to the user
When the user returns to the Agentry client, the normal push processing / fetch will occur to receive the workorder from the server assuming the push retrys are in effect.
So, essentially you should not have to do anything to get the GCM to work as a secondary notification mechanism.
If you are looking to do something else with GCM that would be outside of Agentry.
