I need something that will allow me to resurrect my old hard drive.

Recently my powerbook G3 died (unrelated to hard drive issues) and I took a few of the parts out of it that were still good including the hard drive. It is a IBM Travelstar 10 GB, 2.5 inch.
I got a new ibook G4 and now I'd like to find someting that will allow me to dig up the files on the old hard drive and transfer them over.
I recently tried a device that was intended to work as a shell for the hard drive and connect it to my new computer via a firewire port. This device didn't work and I had to return it because the pins on the hard drive didn't match up with the connector.
Any recommendations?
thanks in advance for any assistance.

Kam,
I replied to another poster with a similar request which should be helpful but it does have additional suggestions:

I'm trying to find an external drive for the MacPro that will allow me to password protect the external drive in case it is taken. Any suggestions on a very reliable on that is 2TB or a third party software that is compatable with the need I describe?

How much of a hurry are you in, and are you considering upgrading to Lion?
File Vault on Snow Leopard only encrypts home folders you select, and doesn't work well with Time Machine.
But Lion will have "full disk encryption" of local or external disks. See File Vault 2 here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html

I had a belkin keyboard for my old iPad. I have upgraded to an iPad air. Can I get a new case that will allow be to use my old keyboard? How?

I had a belkin keyboard for my old iPad. I have upgraded to an iPad air. Can I get a new case that will allow me to use my old keyboard? How? Where?

You might look for generic cases. They're not as sturdy or durable as custom made ones - they tend to use elastic to hold in the iPad and keyboards - but that elastic does give them some flexibility.
Or see if Belkin has anything.
Or you may simply be out of luck with the compatibility. My Keyboard is in a case custom built for my 2 and I know whatever tablet I replace my iPad with I'll be getting a new keyboard as well because it most likely won't fit in a new case.

Something that eats up all my memory? (or hard drive space?)

Hi,
Someone told me that there is something in Adobe Premiere Elements that I need to turn off as it eats up memory unnecessarily. Is this true? If so, what do I need to turn off. All i know is that my laptop is full and I don't believe I have that much on it and I have a hard drive with a 250 GB capacity.
Thanks.

lithea
I just figured out what your turn on off referred to when I ran into your Premiere Elements 8 wireframing question.
In Premiere Element 8.0/8.0.1, the Automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features are major grabbers of computer resources.
The Premiere Elements 8.0.1 Update was supposed to take care of the Automatic Background Rendering part, by disabling its default status.
The AutoAnalzyer part you had to take care of yourself.
1. Automatic Background Rendering.
Go to Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Timeline workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General and make sure there is no check mark next to the
option about Background Rendering.
(If you have not download and installed the 8.0.1 Update, please do so. See Help Menu/Update. If that does not work, then use the 8.0.1 download
from Adobe Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.1 update
once installed this will be no "8.0.1" seen.
2. AutoAnalzyer
In the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 workspace, click on the Organizer Tab in the row below the active Organizer header to open the Elements Organizer workspace. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options, and turn off every option under that category.
To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, click on File Menu/Exit.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

HT1751 i bought a new, larger external hard drive. copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive. iTunes will not start or run unless old hard drive plugged in.??

I bought a new, larger external hard drive. I have my iTunes library on the external drive instead of C: drive, Using Windows 7.
I copied my itunes library from the old drive to the new one, changed the libarary location in Edit/Preferences/Advanced to the new drive.
iTunes will not start or run unless the old hard drive is plugged in.
If I disconnect the old drive iTunes shuts down.
Any ideas. ??

Hello kskip,
Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on. It sounds like you have setup iTunes to save new content to your new external hard drive in iTunes>Preferences, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the new external drive. You have one last step to take to have iTunes point to your new external hard drive rather than your old one:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
You should see the following screen:
Additional information
If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.

My laptop hard drive died and I have replaced it. I want to import the music on my iPod, but I get a message that it is synced with another library (old hard drive). How do I import the music onto the new hard drive? I don't want to lose it.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Will Java 8 include a Tool that will allow multiple versions of Java to run together?

We continue to struggle with an absolute need to run multiple versions of JAVA at the same time on the same PC.
Will JAVA 8 include a Tool, add--on, extension, something, that will allow this requirement to be executed?

Given that that's been possible for over a decade, there's no need for such "tools". All you need is knowledge of your operating system.

I need a simple app that will allow highlighting features. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked at many apps but either they are to complicated for my user or does not easily download to the app.

I need a recommedation for an app that will allow highlighting within a pdf. I have looked at several apps but the person I am researching this for wants something simple. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Is there something comparable to My Documents in Windows that will allow pdf files in Quickoffice to appear?

I have an iPad 2. I need to send pdf files from Quickoffice to my school's copy center for duplication to distribute to my students. When I click on choose files at the SUNY's copy center, I am only able to access Camera Roll and Photo Stream. Is there something comparable to My Documents in Windows that will allow pdf files in Quickoffice to appear?

Perhaps I am not clearly stating my problem. I always used my desktop or laptop to send files that were handouts to the copy center since I do not use a textbook for one English class. Both crashed within a two-day span so until I can get one fixed, I am hoping to use the iPad. I have all my files saved as PDF files in my email. I have added the Quickoffice app and transferred next week files from school email to Quickoffice. When I access SUNY's website to send my files to be copied and click on choose file, all that is there are photos. If there is not a central location in iOS, then how would I manually sync the files in Quickoffice to whatever is allowing the photo files to appear?

What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes. I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!! GRRRR!!!

Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

I can't open RAW files from new Sony Alpha a6000 camera in PSE 11 camera raw editor. Is there an update that will allow me to do this or do I need to always use DNG convertor?

You would need to update to PSE 12, or just keep using the DNG converter. Your camera requires ACR 8.4, which isn't compatible with PSE 11. It's also not compatible with PSE 12 if you are running Vista or XP.

My macbook does not have a firewire port. Is there any kind of adapter that will allow me to use my advc 300 (which need to plug in to the FireWire port)?

My macbook does not have a firewire port. Is there any kind of adapter that will allow me to use my advc 300 (which need to plug in to the FireWire port)?

Firewire, USB and the recent thunderbolt use completely different protocols, therefore there are no adapters for mutually adapting them, just a computer, which allows connecting them, and will work as an interface. For example, if you have an external disk in an enclosure with only FW connection and another one with USB connection, just your mac, having both, allows their interconnectivity.
If your mac does not have FW (the brief alu MB series, Air) you cannot connect a FW device, if only FW port is there.

No one here would be privi to Apple's plans on the matter. Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
In the interim, there is a reminder program for pretty much every need and taste in the App Store.

I need something that will allow me to resurrect my old hard drive.
