Hey Jake,
I have an imac g3 3500 mh and a slot loading drive. but the crt is geting very old the computer is like 10 years. but how do i screen spam on it.. i know there is a vga port on the back of it and i have a vga screen hooked up to it at the moment but its just that same pic as the other one.
Hmm wasn't aware that any of the 350s had a VGA port.
but would there be a way in the computer to unplug the crt?
There might be a way but it would involve going into the computer and disconnecting the video cable.
If you have the bottom off you could turn the "screen" control down on the flyback. It's the big black thing on top of the PAV on the computers right and those controls can be seen from the bottom right (computer's). I use a chopstick shaved into a flat bladed screwdriver point to do this.

  • How to get the other columns of a particular mininum value

    <p>I have a multiple rows per account in a table. I build a object minimum(col1) in the Business Object universe. I need to get the corresponding values of a min(col1) for each account. Problem is when i pull the min(col1) and other column, it always gives every combination of the min(col1) for each account. How do i get only the corresponding values.</p><p>Example</p><p>Acct         Col1     col2     col3 </p><p>1              34       3         4</p><p>1              45        5        6</p><p>2               3         7         8</p><p>output should be</p><p>1           45    5   6</p><p>2         3       7   8</p><p>How i accomplish with data providers or free hand sql combinations</p><p>&#160;</p><p>Thanks</p><p>&#160;</p><p>&#160;</p>

    you can do this very quickly by creating a crosstab with the Acct as the Row, and Col1,2,3 as the Columns, and the Maximum of your field as the summary.

  • Updated to 5.0 any ideas how to get the OTHER back

    When I updated to 5.0 my OTHER SPACE used went to 7.2 gigs... any way to get that
    space back.

    - A reset may work and you lose nohing by trying.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, restoring from backup works if the other is not in the backup
    - Last, a restore to factory defaults/new iPod always works.

  • How to get the OTHER value in a poplist

    A poplist has 2 values. The one the user sees and the "real" value. I need to access both in my project. Is it possible to get the value of the "other" value, the one the user sees??

    sure thing... I had to send both the "real" value and also the string value the user sees and actually selects in the list to another block. Here's the code:
    total_list_count NUMBER;
    loop_index_var NUMBER;
    list_element_value VARCHAR2(200);
    BEGIN
    --populate actual value
    :SENDING_BLOCK.actual_value := :RECEIVING_BLOCK.actual_value;
    --populate "other" value user sees
    loop_index_var := 1;
    total_list_count := GET_LIST_ELEMENT_COUNT('SENDING_BLOCK.other_value');
    LOOP
    list_element_value := GET_LIST_ELEMENT_VALUE(SENDING_BLOCK.other_value, loop_index_var);
    IF :SENDING_BLOCK.other_value = list_element_value THEN
    :RECEIVING_BLOCK.other_value := GET_LIST_ELEMENT_LABEL('SENDING_BLOCK.other_value', loop_index_var);
    END IF;
    loop_index_var := loop_index_var + 1;
    EXIT WHEN list_element_value = :SENDING_BLOCK.other_value OR
    loop_index_var = total_list_count;
    END LOOP;
    END IF;
    I think i replaced the right variables. I can't understand why there isn't a simple function to get this value, this code does the job.

  • I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on.  The Tech told me to

    I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine.  Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer.  I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs.  Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
    When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it.  Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

    Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • How do you get music from your Itunes to your computer? im making a wedding video on windows movie maker but cant figure out how to get the bridal music off my ipod and onto my pc.

    Im making a wedding video and cant figure out how to get the bridal music off my itunes and onto my computer.. Im using the windows movie maker

    Marian,
    Let's be clear on one thing here. The manual setting is an iPod setting, not an iTunes one. So, once you've set it to manual (and you appear to have done that correctly), then you can connect it to any number of computers without changing that setting.
    "The grey thing occurs on one pc only"
    This is the thing that I don't understand, if your iPod is set to manual, then it shouldn't happen on any computer. If you connect the iPod that is set to manual to this pc, and then click on it in the source listing, then you would be looking at the songs on the iPod, and they should not be greyed out. When you connect to the "other pc" under these same circumstances, they are not greyed out?

  • I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help

    I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion.  I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air.  iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format."  Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist".  Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

    Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion!  "you need to copy that file to your new computer..."  Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export.  Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)?  Copy it to and from a thumb drive?  But then place the file where?  And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)?  Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

  • I'm trying to transfer data (docs, emails) from G4 iMac running os 10.3.9 to brand new iMac on 10.8.1  I'm stuck, any help greatly appreciated.  (Ethernet or wifi networking are both options if I can figure out how to get the machines to communicate.)

    I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
    I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
    I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
    All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
    Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
    At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine.  By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
    Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.
    - or use Migration Assistant but in my experience, Migration Assistant isn't very reliable and fails to migrate large amounts of stuff.

    A double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

  • How to get the right format if I copy data off another source....

    IWorks '08
    I have a data source that I want to copy to Numbers and it posts it all in the first row, when I paste it. (Excel will automatically format it correctly). I've tried a number of different things and can't figure out how to get the data to post across the page. Can Numbers even do this?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Could you possibly have the insertion cursor blinking in the cell rather than just having a cell selected?
    If the cursor is blinking in the cell, Numbers "thinks" you want to paste all of the content in that one cell. By just selecting the cell, the data will be separated if Numbers "sees" the separations. This used to be a problem, particularly with data copied from a web page in Safari, but is mostly fixed in Numbers '09.

    Thank you, LatachaM_VZW
    Are you talking about the PUK code (when the PIN for the SIM has been wrong too many times)?  The OP is talking about network unlock, and is using a foreign SIM.   Global Services certainly wouldn't have the unlock code for a SIM that isn't theirs.
    I have heard that if you do enter the incorrect network unlock code too many times, the phone becomes permanently locked (i..e cannot be unlocked even with a valid unlock code) but not everyone agrees that this is true for all phones.
    Jax's post above really says it all, you will need to search the web for a service that will unlock this Motorola phone.  In doing so, you might find a number of threads that say the Global has to be activated in the US before an unlock code will work.  Others were able to unlock without this. 

  • Why won't my iMac boot? Just get the spinning wheel. Need suggestions

    My iMac 4,1 (probably around 2006 vintage, 24" screen) won't boot.  I get a white screen with the Apple logo and a spinning wheel  I've let it sit for an hour and it never will move on to boot the system. I am running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.8) and can't upgrade further because of Intel Core Duo 32 bit processor.
    To top it off, I thought that maybe putting the installation cdrom into the drive would have it boot to that drive and then I could run some diagnostics.  It won't boot to that either and now I don't know how to get the cdrom out.
    This iMac it too old for Apple to repair.  Any suggestions?  I need it for a second system to run along side my MBP.
    Thanks for your help.

    The first iMac with a 24" screen was released in September 2006 and is a model 6,1. No model 4,1 was available with a 24" screen. The last Model 4,1 iMacs had a 20" screen and was released in January 2006. The maximum OS for it was Snow Leopard. It is considered Obsolete.
    You need to reinstall Snow Leopard which can be done without erasing the drive (assuming the drive is OK.) You do need to boot from a Snow Leopard DVD. Can you get the installer DVD to mount on the Desktop? How did you try booting from the DVD? Did you do this:
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
