Is it possible to run my computer if the logic board is dead?

Some water spilled in my computer a week ago and it stopped running. I sent it to repair to an authorized dealer and they said the Top Case and the Logic Board where broken. Anyhow, they gave me an expensive budget and I didn't fix my MacBook Pro.
I have bootcamp installed. When I came home I turned it as Mac and it turns out the screen is working but it got stuck at the grey apple icon with the loading wheel. I turned it off and booted as Windows. Everything went fine with Windows. I'm actually writing this from windows. Sound is working, keyboard is working, screen is working. It seems fine.
Is it possible that they gave a wrong diagnosis? How can I fix my Mac partition without format?
Cheers

Scoping out Sharepoint - Is it possible to run web apps in the same domain as a web page? (ie not with references to a cloud)

From what I understand, with sharepoint it is possible to run web apps on the server that don't need to be referenced via the cloud, ie in contrast to SkyDrive.
If so, would it be possible to create a web site on the share point server that embeds say a word web app in a page, all done in the one server, on the same domain?
Thanks

Hi,
First Office Web Apps and SharePoint can't be installed in one server as it's not supported. So you need at least two servers - one for SharePoint and another for Office Web Apps. About 'word web app', As far as I know you can run word app/excel app runs
in either word/excel but not inside Office Web Apps.
Thanks,

Midp 2.0: is it possible to run 2 timers at the same time?

elo! jz wondering if its possible to run 2 timers at the same time..

actually, im going to use the first timer for the character's animation such as walking.. the other timer i'll use for timing the 'walking activity' of the character (let's say, 3 seconds walking).. after 3 seconds, the character will stop and do other activity aside from walking..
p.s.
im mentioning about timers in midp 2.0 :)

(HELP) Dead MacBook Pro.. possibly something to do with the logic board.

I had been noticing my MacBook Pro's performance degrading lately.. for example whenever I dragged a file into a folder it would lag for 5-6 seconds and then copy over. It started to bug me so I guessed that maybe a reinstall would fix the problem. After reinstalling and rebooting, I got no video on the display.. keyboard wouldn't work.. only things that happened was the disc drive made a sound, light came on the font and could hear the HDD spinning a little.
I then took it to the Apple store as thats what Apple told me to do on the phone. So we took the loverly 3 hour drive(there and back) to the closest Apple store just to have the man take it out the back for 2-3 minutes and then come back to say "It's possibly the logic board that is dead".
I am out of warranty by 2-3 months and so he told me I would have to pay £700 or so to repair. As a full-time student I don't have that kind of money.. I don't even have £60. - I find it annoying how they didn't even fully check the problem out.. just a "possibly the logic board".
So what if I manage to click my fingers and have £700 appear right before my very eyes? I pay for the new logic board just to find out thats not really the problem? or maybe have the same thing happen again right after the 90 days that logic board is covered for? meaning I have to fork out another £700.
I am a massive fan of Apple.. I love their products. I have brought so many products of theirs.. now just 2-3 months after my warranty runs out.. I get this. They didn't even say sorry for selling me a faulty product and didn't offer to help out in any way. When I spend £1,299 on something I expect it to last A LOT longer than a year and 3 months.
I need my MacBook Pro very badly for College but now I can't do my work and if I want to do my work, I have to pay £700 for it.
What do I do? Who do I talk to? Is it possible to get it fixed without having to pay that kind of money?
I can't settle for anything less than a Mac. I love the OS way too much and need so many of the apps that are Mac-only. So no way am I going to forget this and buy myself some cheap PC CrapTop.

Unfortunately, if you cannot boot from the disc, it won't be possible to do any diagnostic tests yourself.
It might be worth getting a second opinion. Is there an Apple authorized repair shop anywhere near you? If so, possibly you could take it there and see if they can diagnose it. You may need to pay a small fee for them to do this. But possibly someone might take a little more time with it and be able to give you a definitive diagnosis.
I'm grasping at straws, but you might be able to try resetting the SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
I don't know if this would help or not--there are not many things to do when the computer is unresponsive and you can't use the keyboard or a disc.
Unless the problem was reported to Apple while the MBP was still under warranty, I don't think there is any way that Apple would be able to fix it under warranty. Did you ever take it in for any problem under warranty that might relate to its current situation?
I don't know if you might be up for trying to fix it yourself. If you are, here is a site that might be of help:

You have my sympathy--this has to be an exceedingly difficult situation for you. I will continue to think about this, and will post back if anything comes to mind.
Good luck!

After having the logic board replaced, Time Machine will no longer backup my computer to the same backup files as before.

After having the logic board replaced due to bad NVidia chip, my Time Machine will no longer backup my computer to the current backup. Is there a way to reset something to get Time Machine to continue to use the same backup files as before for this laptop?

As far as TM is concerned you have a new computer, so it will make a new backup. If you don't have the space for both backups then erase your backup drive before backing up the computer.

My mac book pro crashed and the logic board died. They said that i could get the hard drive out and it should have all my files on it. How do i get them off and put them on my new computer?

Is it possible to run a vi in the background of the system?

I want to run a VI in the backgroud like MS outlook, so that I can minimize it and it will do its thing while I use other programs

Hi slingee,
if you just minimize your program, it still runs. In LV8 you can specify how the window will look like after program- start in VI-Properties --> Window Run-Time-Position. But if you want to hide the corresponding button in the Windows-start-panel you need to use Win-API functions and I doubt you can hide the button for the LV Runtime, if you make an application.

Is it possible to export multiple sections of the art board as individual PNG's?

I have an art board full of GUI buttons and each button consists of an icon and a background sitting beneath it. the back ground is just a rectangle with some shading and made into a symbol repeated over and over again incase someone wants to change the color palette of the buttons in 1 go.
Is it possible to export every button (icon and background) as its own individual png? and have each png the size of the icon rather than the art board?
The equivalent of Photoshop's Generate>Image Asset.
***one key component i really need to know is if i can also have illustrator automatically create folders for these files to be exported or generated into***
in the same way that in Photoshop, if you name a layer "Folder1/Image1.png" it will export that layer automatically as a png name Image1 inside a folder name Folder1.
Thanks!

Try export to css. I believe that is the equivalent. It will create individual png files.

Possible to swap MDD FW400 for FW800 logic board?

Hello all,
I'd thought I would ask this question because I have been thinking about this. Currently, have a dual 1.25 2003 model(not earlier MDD!) MDD G4 with the 2MB L3 per processor.
I just received today my airport extreme USB netgear device and I must say plugged into the USB 2.0 5-port card I have it is even faster than the Belkin PCI F5D7000 card! But, my question is concerning something else.
FW800 logic board - is it really worth it for me to swap current FW400 board with the FW800 board? 2ndly, can I use my existing MDD case or do I have to find another case? My power supply is a 360w power supply. I am not sure if it is a quieter one or not. The date on my power mac G4 2003 says: copyright June 2003(or was it July?) Apple computer. - Does this entail that the FW800 machines came out the same time as mine did? Again, I don't have the original MDD(867,1gh,1.25), I have the last dual bootable OS 9.2.2 MDD machine from 2003.
Also, is the airport extreme card going to produce faster results that the netgear WG111V2.0 USB device I currently have plugged into my USB 2.0 pci card? One thing I did notice is that I can no longer put my computer into hibernation or deep sleep, since I now have the USB 2.0 netgear wireless device attached.
Can anyone confirm if there is a way around for the sleep/hibernate function to work even with the USB 2.0 device plugged in? I also removed the Belkin wireless PCI card(FD57000). Before the USB 2.0 device, my computer would goto sleep and hibernate normally.
Thanks!

*9.x and Internet*: shouldn't be a problem with Ethernet. Forget which control panels you'll need to play with TCP/IP, Network? So if you want faster Internet with the MDD in 9.x, go with Ethernet -- the regular Airport card will work in 9.x by the way. That's the reason why for faster wireless, I'm going to buy the new Airport Express (with wireless -n), and connect via WDS to my Airport Extreme -- the MDD will connect to the Express via Ethernet which should be fine in both 9.x and OS X.
I did this once before my the original Airport Express (wireless -g) and an old Linksys all-in-one that supported WDS. But the Linksys blew its ethernet ports, so I replaced it with a newer model that doesn't support WDS.
*Copper heatsink* should fit any MDD CPU card, I've tried mine on both a Dual 867 and 1.25GHz cards, although I'm using a Verax cooler on the 1.25GHz Dual. The copper contact plate while narrow (about 1.5 cm) is a long piece, so it would contact both single and dual CPUs. As for the 1.25GHz dual in particular, see here.
Just a tip, use some good thermal compound, like Artic Silver. You'll need to clean off the old compound on your CPUs. I used Articlean (also made by Artic silver), works great. They sell a kit with both cleaner and purifier (preparation compound for the thermal compounds).
*Dual 1.25 2003*. I think the best way may be to check the model number. According to everymac.com, it should be M9145LL/A. I'm sure the info's also on Apple's site somewhere. The last 2003 1.25Ghz have 2MB L3 cache, which is easy enough to see in say System Profiler. If you're seeing 2MB L3, then you know you've got the CPU from the last 2003 model. As for the motherboard, you'd probably have to check the assembly number under the modem to insure a 2003 motherboard, but I don't think that matters as much as the CPU.
The CPU cards from MDDs and G4 XServes are pretty much interchangable --setting aside the issue of 133MHz and 167Mhz front side buses, which could overclock or underclock depending on CPU card & motherboard combination. And reading around there's an incompatibility with certain MDD Dual 1.0GHz on certain motherboards.
You could put an early 1.25GHz dual with only 1MB L3 on a 2003 MDD motherboard; for that matter you could stick a 1.42GHz dual from a FW800 MDD on your 2003 MDD motherboard, which some people have done. I guess if you're seeing Dual 1.25GHz w/1MB L3 advertised as the last 2003 MDDs, then people might not know what they're talking about, or may have replaced the CPU. The 1MB L3 versions cost less.
FW800, indeed if you want it, you can always add a card later. Since the MDDs don't have USB2, for that you'll need a card as I think you've already done. But there's always a worry of eating the slots. While rare, there are some combo USB2/FW800 cards. Problem with a combo cards over separate cards is that there's usually a performance hit on the FW side. A friend of mine has one that suffers from this -- like 7-10MB/sec hit. I recently bought a Siig combo FW800/USB2 and there's not nearly the performance hit; FW800 is only a few ticks less in MB/sec compared to my FW800 only card. In my DA, I didn't see any deep sleep issues with the Siig card, but every Mac is different. I've haven't tested it in a MDD, yet.
I'm working on getting two MDDs working (long story), so I have my hands full. Can't say I love the MDDs yet, but I certainly been bit by the tinkering/upgrading bug. So I'm have fun getting my two MDDs together that are both very close to being ready -- I need to stress test them before moving over my HDs/data, cards, etc.

Is it possible to run custom programs using the Lion recovery partition ?

I understand that it is now possible to get the Recovery Partition onto a USB drive such as a Flash Drive.
What I want to do is create/copy some tools, and dump them on the recovery flash drive, boot up and execute them.
This will also be helpful for some 3rd party firmware updates, such as SSD drives, as we cannot update the firmware on a SSD if we boot from it,
and are forced to try to create Linux/Windows boot drives to install such updates (eg OCZ Vertex 2 SSD).
I figure I could try to cheat, and replace one of the Apple Tools with another program and hope it works, but I would rather not do this.
Ideally, would just like to be able to run a Terminal Shell, and run whatever commands I want.
Cheers

You can have more than one partition on your flash drive. Use one for the Apple Recovery Disk Assistant (which will be hidden after it is installed). Use the other(s) for whatever you need as required.

Is it possible to run two applications at the same time on ipad.

Hi,
I would like to know of it is possible to play media apps (movies or bbc iplayer programs) while surfing the Internet with safari on ipad2. Even if I can't actually see the video while I'm surfing the net but can still hear it and can jump between the Internet and the movie without the movie stopping.
Somehow I think the answer to this is no but then I also thought it wasn't possible to do print screen images with ipad until someone showed me how.
Can anyone help?
Thanks :)

Prior to iOS 6, it was possible to "multitask" with some media like playing audio from YouTube video while playing a game or surfing the web, but it changed in iOS 6.
There are always a few surprises in major iOS releases, so who knows, it might work again in iOS 7. I never set my expectations for anything other than what Apple talks about publicly, but like I said, you never know.

Is It Possible To Run 2 Routers At The Same Time.

This might be the dumbest question of all time but I am not computer savy. My two wireless PCs operate beautifully on my Linksys WRT54G. If, when I get the MacBook Pro, and for some strange reason I have connection proglems, can I get one of the airports and set it up just for the Mac. Read all sorts of problems of PCs not connecting to the Airports properly. I might be overly concerned but I don't have an Apple Store near me. I am driving 200 miles to Charlotte to justr try out and buy the Mac.

You can put two routers on the same network, but you have to set them up correctly. You can put one of them in bridge mode, which means it will just act as an access point for the primary router, but won't do any routing itself. The second way is to set up a double NAT, with one router handling the Internet connection to the outside world and the second router handling the local network.

Is it possible to run IC WINclient through the ITS?

Hello.
I try to launch Interaction Center WIN Client through ITS and get DNS-error when using Search BP page of IC WinClient: all links have domain "sapevent:"
Of course this domain doesn't exists in our network.
I know about IC WEB Client and we use it.
My question about IC WIN Client and ITS is of more rhetorical then practical menaing.

Well, I'm looking for a means to activate a script through the active corners, I'm not asking any questions about the script itself, so I did not think it should be posted in the AppleScript categoriy, but sure, I'll give it a go.

Authorizing a new computer when the old one is dead

My old computer is dead. I can't get into it to de-authorize it. All of my songs are on the new one, but I can't update my Nano with new songs I've added to my library on my new computer. What do I do?

Right, you're using an older version of iTunes then?
On iTunes 7 and later that would say "file/sync iPod".
Is that option "greyed out" or still selectable? If it's "grey" that would indicate that you have the iPod set to manual transfer.
Have you been through these?
