Installation fine - except the amount of time.

Over all, the installation on my G4 PPC iBook 14" went well. All of my Apps work (so far) including my VPN to my office with Remote Desktop. I was actually surprised.
The only problem I have (so far) is the amount of time for the install.
* disk validation - way too long.
* nearly 3 hours of actual upgrade install.
* spotlight indexing probably will not be done till in the morning.
Well, 1 Mac down and 2 more to go: 12" PPC G4 iBook and PPC MacMini. (yes I got the family pack)

Just skip the verification, especially on your other machines since you now know it's fine. I never wait for that, especially if it would take 3 hours :-O.

I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one. Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups. See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions. That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

Hello. I recently pieced together a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15". Everything works fine except the battery constantly goes between "not charging" and "calculating" or, rarely "charging". It does charge after a long while and will report that it is charged.

I have reset the NVRAM and the SMC a couple of time but that didn't work so I ran an Apple Hardware Test and while testing the logic board it gives the following error:
4SNS/1/40000000 LB1T
I've done some research and found this is a temperature sensor related to the battery, but cannot find where the sensor is located in the computer. Would you know how I can find the sensor to test it? Could my battery problem be related to something else? Would a fresh install of Lion help?
Thank you!
Mike
Two pieces of information that may or may not b helpful, the hard drive is from my early 2008 MBP and the only test disc I have access to is from an iMac.

Why do you have LION installed on that older machine?
So you say you built a macbook from a bucket of parts eh? Kudos
heres a pic of the battery temp sensor

I recently changed my password to my apple id and was able to log into everything fine except the icloud on my ipad. It reverted back to an old apple id and I don't know the password. I have tried all the suggestions and no luck.

You didn't say what you've tried, but f the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do I adjust the amount of time before time outs?

Time outs happen too quickly. I want to extent the amount of time that elapses before it times out while loading a site.

Is there a way to set the amount of time before Messages shows me as idle?

I ran a script in iChat that allowed me to extend the amount of time before I showed as idle, but I haven't been able to find something comparable for Messages.

HI,
Yes.
See http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=200402181751007
You need to Write to the com.apple.IMAgent.plist instead of the iChatAgent one listed.

HT1805 Do you know if the Mobile Usage Current Period is the amount of time you have spent phoning people or the amount of time you have left of your allowance?

Hi,
I'm a new iphone owner and have a limit of 200 mins to use making telephone calls per month. I'm just wondering if the amount of time recorded in the 'Current Usage' box on the Mobile Usage screen is the amount of talk time I've used in the month or the amount of time I have left?
Thank you

As the phone has no way of knowing what your plan allowance is, it just shows how long you've been on calls. Keep in mind that not all calls are billable. My carrier doesn't count calls to customer service. So, if you had called customer service, it would show on the phone as usage but not on your bill as part of your allowance. Check to see if your carrier has an app in the App Store for tracking minutes. It will be much more accurate.

Can I limit the amount of Time Machine backups?

I have a Samsung S5, How can i increase the amount of time my phone rings?

So as stated in the Subject, I have a Samsung S5 it works really well so far, However when someone is ringing me it only rings 3 times. Is there a way i can increase the amount of times the phone rings before it goes to answer machine?

Hi,
Try this:
1. Dial *#61# and click Send. You will see your VM access number and the current ring delay time.
2. Write down the phone number displayed (including +1).
3. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum.
4. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Thanks,

Is there a way on Mtn Lion or Mavericks to increase the amount of time between NetBIOS broadcasts?

Is there a way on Mtn Lion or Mavericks to increase the amount of time between NetBIOS broadcasts? I am aware of how to disable it using a terminal command, but I am looking to try and modify the interval without disabling it all together. I am hoping to improve network performance across several hundred Mac systems. Any help is appreciated.
