I need to take out my current harddrive in my G5 tower!

I just got my case, and I need to take out the orginal G5 hard drive, I've already unplugged the Power cables that is connected to the harddrive but I can't pull it out. Need Help ASAP!

Hi. This may be of assistance
http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/g5/073-0806.pdf
If it's the top, Bay 'A' drive you wish to remove, it has to slide down the sloping ramp to clear the edge of the G5 casing.
As you can probably see in fig. 5 at the link above, the 'little latches', circled in yellow, may also be holding it.
Not forgetting, of course, the use of the chopsticks...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2147325#2147325
As you can see, other users have found success with feeding a flexible soft wire or string up round the drive to pull on - or using soft-faced grips (or, presumably, hard-faced grips with some soft material in-between).
Good Luck.

Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

hi,
I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
the null and not null values.
Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hp mini 200-2001tu to using broadcom bcm70012. can it be done? am i need to take out the wlan card?

Please help, I want to install broadcom bcm70012 to my hpmini. what should i do? please help. need and answer

Hello,
Great!
The problem has been solved. Did not have the install disk, but figured the problem out through single user mode. The options listed in the article were not working, so tried this...
sh /et/rc (to boot the system)
open /applications/utilities
Was trying to open Terminal, but this opened root user mode (accidental victory). From there I was able to simply use Disk Utility to repair my permissions.
Thanks!

Need to take out battery to shut down MacBook

After installing 10.5.3 my MacBook shows instead of shutting down a small rotating wheel on the screen. I can only stop this by taking out the battery. When I start the MacBook and shut it down immediately whithout using the applications, it works normal. Has anybody an idea?
Thanks.

Hello Thierry,
Parallels is updated and I got rid of the Google stuff.
The kernel shutdown freeze problem occured less often, but it is still existent.
I have Virus barrier since I bought the MB, so far no problems.
I do not understand why Virus barrier could be the origin?
As you suspected already, an additional discussion: "no viruses on a "rootless" Unix system". So far there are no viruses around, but in the future I assume that there will be viruses also for macs.
What do you mean with rootless?
Hello Wolfgang,
I tend to believe that you have a "strong" windows background ... and fear ... Google Desktop ... VirusBarrier ...
"rootless" means that the "root" user is not enable. No one can log in - or attempt to - on your system.
The big difference between Windows and Unix (MacOSX), is that on Windows, there is an Administrator user/group that has full control on the machine. On MacOSX, there is no "root". You are a user who is temporarily allowed to grab root privileges through a grant obtained through a user input.
A virus is a system that penetrates another system and replicates with the objective to infect nearby systems.
On Unix, a virus can modify - and infect - a system only if it runs as owned by root. If your Unix system doesn't have a root user, then that virus program cannot alter root owned files.
The only way for a virus software to gain root privileges is to run as a kernel extension. The command I've made you type is run actually every night on my Mac and sends me a mail with the result.
So, it's not because "one day there will be viruses also for macs". There will never be viruses: they can't replicate! and if there don't they can't be viruses.
Now, there are existing other threats: Vulnerabilities and Trojan Horses.
Vulnerabilities are failures or loop-holes that exists in some software that can allow a system to get past and above the program that presents this exploit and execute its code in the workspace of the application above that has loaded (spawned) the faulty software.
Usually, Virus Protection software databases are updated no faster than Apple or Microsoft, or HP or SUN or IBM when such exploits are revealed to the public (CERT group). Your VirusBarrier won't be of no help here. Just run regularly Software Update.
Trojan Horses are software - malware - that get installed luring the user believing the software in question does wonderful (good) things. Lately, there was a **** site that gave away some video player meant to play **** clips for free. Of course, this was a malware, fooling name resolution and directing browsers to phishing sites. Well, customers to these hoax look like easy preys.
A Virus Checker can help detecting "known" Torjan Horses. But you're not getting to let a TJ come into your system if you're not interested in free ****!!!
A Virus Checker, on the Mac, is only useful to check if you're not going to e-mail to your PC friends an attachment that is in fact a software that uses Windows design flaws to do harm to its owner.
There is no risk on a Mac to browse the web and get a malware, spyware, badware installed inconspicuously.
So, make sure of what software you install on your Mac, where it comes from. Turn off all Sharing services. Turn on Firewall when you're on a network you don't control (Wifi hot spots, hotels, bars, airports). For the rest, you don't risk zip.
Get rid of that Virus Barrier stuff.
When I'm in an airport lounge, I always have fun listening to music of "others" who have left the Sharing on on their iTunes (Macs + PCs). You don't even have to pay for accessing the Hot Spot.
Cheers,
Thierry

Need to bring out data from Infocube to Flatfile

Hi All,
I have a cube with historcal data in one system.
Now my requiremnet is to creat a exactly similar cube in the other system, and need to load the historical data.done.
we are considering the below Options:
1) Fetching the data from the cube( From First System) in to a Flat file and load into New cube (other System).
or
2) Going For a Open hub to bring out the data into Flat file and load the data into new cube in the othersystem.
Note: Since OpenHub is the tool which we need to buy ( we are thinking. we are not sure)
There is no kind of relation ship between the 2 systems to copy the cube from one system to other system.
Please suggest the best options to get it.
Regards,
Sri

Thank you all for your prompt responses.......
Actually the copany got split into two. one of them have kept aside the cube with other company's information.
So they are not even ready to provide display access to their system. So creating RFC connection and Using APD to fetch the data to a flat file might not do.
What we are thikinng is Fetch the data from From the Cube output into a spread sheet and load that into the new cubs.
we have similar concern with Master Data Objects, we need to take out the attributes, Text and Heirarchies data and load in to new system.
Here how do bring out the data for Master data attributes, Texts and Hierarchies? does this work similarly with these how we do with the cube?
Especially with Hierarchies?
Please suggest
Regards,
Srikanth

Safari not quitting and I have to take out the battery on Macbook just to close down

Hi All,
I am in the process of trying to work out what's going on here and think all of you might be able to help to get to the solution quicker. Safari is just refusing to quit even when I force quit and close windows etc. Just to restart or shut down I need to take out my battery. This is clearly a rubbish solution to the problem. Do I need to totally delete all files and dbs associated with Safari or is there a quicker fix that will allow me to keep my bookmarks etc. Never had problems before and not installed any new software or even synced iPhone recently so it's a massive puzzle.
Cheers guys.

Is this on Snow Leopard ?
what exactly happens if you attempt to shutdown or restart... does a message appear ?
If you start the mac in Safe mode - does the same thing happen ?
what happens when you try force quit ?

Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy. It is a Macbook Pro osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

Almost certainly none of the above! Try each of the following in this order:
Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
Close down Safari; move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false

I have had Adobe XI for about two years and My harddrive just crashed. My backups were part of the failure so I can't get it back. I purchased it from a third part supplier and it was a download. I need to find out how to get it restored. I can send screen shots of all of the drive location where the drive is still good and I can see my Adobe Acrobat pro information, but the download itself is missing. NEXT STEP?

If you are talking about Reader (you did post in the Reader forum), then just download http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise. However Reader is free not purchasable. You can download a trial then install using your serial number, which if you didn’t register or write down somewhere you will be out of luck to track down.

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

Currently using Lightroom 5 as a standalone on a mac and two windows machines one desktop one laptop. with CC can i still use all the machines or do i have to take out an individual license for each?

with CC can i still use all the machines or do i have to take out an individual license for each?

Your LR5 license allows for activated installations on two machines. Of those two machine, only one can be using the licensed software at a given time. The same applies with CC, except with CC you won't be able to sneak in the third machine. What you can do though with CC is have it installed on all three and sign in and out of the different machines as needed.
If you intend to be using all three machines at the same time then you do need three separate licenses/subscriptions to be in compliance with the license agreement.

Need to take Print out - PL SQL Program / Unix

Hi,
I need to take print out from a file already created in Database Server in a specific path to a printer. Any PL SQL program or any shell script is there to do this??
Thanks,

It's perfectly possible, but will depend on where your data is and whether it's already a printer output file etc.
e.g. you could use the dbms_scheduler package to call a command line that sends the file directly to the printer device
However, the specifics of that will depend on your database version and your operating system, and what file you're trying to send.

Need to find out how to install QuickTime Pro on a new device using current license.

I broke the screen on my previous laptop/tablet and had to replace it. I had paid for QuickTime Pro and have an active license. I need to find out how to install QuickTime Pro on a new device using current license. My old device has been destroyed.

Download and install the free QuickTime Player 7 from Apple and enter your registration info to unlock the Pro features.

I need to take out my current harddrive in my G5 tower!
