I need to know where to put that metal piece

Hello!
I've just swapped the hard disk of my sister's iBook G4 because the old one was failing and now comes the difficult process of reassembling the computer
When I opened it the first time, I inclined the computer and a metal piece went out. Because of the metal shield that was still in place, I have no idea where this metal piece came from. I also can't seem to figure out that now as I don't see any obvious place to put that piece.
It's a metallic bar with an hole at one end, and the other end has got two "hooks", perhaps allowing one screw to pass thru (sorry, english isn't my native language). The bar is 8.5 cm in size and has a black rubber almost all the way.
If I recall right, it's the first generation of iBook G4 (early 2004). I'm afraid to reassemble the whole computer without this piece, as it may be used to avoid electrical shocks between some other parts, who knows?
Help, please!

It could be the restraining bracket.
Hmm, that sounds promising! I can actually put the bar perpendicularly to the 2 bars that hold the drive (like in the picture above, but truly perpendicular) and there's even a screw for it. Also, the space between the 2 "hooks" does also fit on the metal framework and I've not this piece otherwise.
You saved my world today ;-)
Thank you!

  • I need help. mozjs.dll is missing and I need to know where to put the replacement

    I got an error telling that mozjs.dll is missing. I downloaded one off the internet and now I need to know where to shove it.
    I also uninstalled firefox and am going to install a new copy, but I need to take care of this first.
    Please advise,
    Thanks,

    So that didn't make any difference, you still get the same error?
    Could you try renaming the Firefox program folder? Most like it's here:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    If you still have this folder after your uninstall, it may have been preserved due to files that third party software dropped into it.
    Try renaming that folder to OldFox and run the full installer again. Any better?

  • I need to Know where my movies that i bought are stored!!!!!

    Under Edit, click on Preferences. Under the Advanced tab you should be able to see your iTunes Music Folder location. In that folder is another folder called Movies. That's where your downloaded movies should have gone too.

  • I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

    Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
    Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
    Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
    iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

  • I need to know where can I write a complain. or a phone number to call

    I am having problems with the apple store I am going for training. I need to know where can I get an address or phone number to be able to complain or a solution. my reservations keep desappearing, changing (appointments - workshops schedule etc.) I bought a ONE TO ONE last year to be able to go two times a week for training. beacuse an illness I only went on July 2011 and then didn't go for training until Jan. 2012. I needed the very basics training (because i have problems with memory due to medication taken) that ment i need to take notes, and the expert trainer have to go slow. Well most of the trainers do not know how to tech an old person, don't know very well their subject. go too fast or don't tell you thinks or jumping from one thing to another or... don't have idea of what they are teaching. I have been going for one hour (traveling) to go to the store two and three times a week because their lack of or poor training techniques or ... and other issures like a bad actitude, been rude, etc etc...

    there should be classes for newbie and advanced (not in age) and I would think they would if there are enough, have classes aimed at elderly as well - many need to and love to keep in touch with far-flung family and friends through Skype, video, IM and other new social formats.
    I know my father went to classes for awhile when he got a laptop and the classes was one of the reasons he choose the store he did, and had it custom configured for him (the computer, not the adult class).
    For many, just getting someone to understand what RAM and storage and what virtual memory vs real is a stretch of imagination. And we see that here with some questions.
    Try explaining 3D to someone that lives on a mobius strip in a flat world.
    One idea:
    I would think there are YouTube courses to follow at home on your own and that can output from computer to a TV or view on a tablet (and iPod and tablets output to TVs just fine too).

  • I need to know how to put a photo in a box with text under photo, so they all will move in page

    I need to know how to put a photo in a box with text under it, so they move together in a page of text.

    The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
    From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
    Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
    The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
    Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
    Example:  Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
    This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
    Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
    Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
    Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
    Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.
    Be well...

  • I need to know where to find imessage

    I need to know where to find imessage

    You are using OS X Lion, and iMessage requires OS X Mountain Lion, so you have to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    First, see if your computer is compatible > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs Then, open App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. While Mountain Lion is downloading, make a backup of your data with Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    When the download finishes, the OS X Mountain Lion installer will show up, so follow the steps to upgrade OS X. After upgrading, you will see that iChat has been replaced with Messages, so open it and you will be able to use iMessage on the Mac

  • I lost my ipod and I need to know where is the last location before its off.(its definded in icloud)

    I lost my ipod and I need to know where is the last location before its off.(its definded in icloud)

    Your welcome. 
    If you don't see it on the map now when you go to icloud.com and check Find My iPhone, if it is shown on the device list you can click on the device, then check the box next to "Notify me when found" (see image below) and you will receive an email when it goes back online, if ever.  The email is sent to the email address associated with your iCloud ID. 
    There's nothing else you can do.  I don't believe iCloud support can tell you it's last location either once it's cleared from the map.

    i used to connect the ipad or iphone to computer to make the backup . I need to know where is the backup path on computer?

    The following quotation is from iTunes: About iOS backups
    Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.
