Is there a way to do without Floppy Drive ?

Hi:
To put it simple: I had to disconnect my Floppy Drive because randomly the system tried to read from it and all ended in a freezing status and a reboot.- This happened with or without a floppy in it and never asked by the user.
After disconnecting it the problem dissappeard at all. But now not having it, I found myself unabled to upgrade the bios and to install Raid, as both ask for floppy Drive. Is there a way to replace it with other Drive or a walk around or a solution to this strange behavior described above, that let me connect again my floppy without problems and risks (The last thinking in a bios upgrade) ?(
Thanks in advance for any tip, advise, comments u.s.w. 8)

You can burn the bios on CD and use a win98 CD to boot from in order to get to DOS.
You can get a win98 startup floppy image to make your own bootable CD at http://www.bootdisk.com (you need winace to extrarct the .IMA file out of the .EXE and use nero to burn the bootable CD with that).

I haven't had any trouble to date pairing any devic with my iphone or ipad, this is ridiculous!!!! Is there a way to update my bluetooth settings on my iphone 4s to be able to have this device be recognized??? I love my apple devices, but this is very frustrating. I bought this Data Logger for a specific purpuse to help out with my Search and Rescue volunteer activities, and I really need help with this!!! I am hoping apple will help me!!!

I looked at the same sight for that and it does not say that. This is the first time I have posted a question, you don't have to be mean about it. I am trying to get this to work for a good cause.
It may be the best source of assistance is the manufacturer of the device. I suspect you will need a specific app for the iPhone to get it to work, but the site is rather ambiguous about that.

I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

Is there a way to view old floppy disks running Maverick?

Is there a way to view old floppy disks when running Maverick?

While there are older usb external floppy drives available I seriously doubt there are any current drivers to support them. If it is the floppy's content you want then an older pre Intel Power PC capable of running Classic environment (or mac OS9) could utilize the external floppy drive. Also consideration has to be given to the capacity of the floppies as 400k and 800k are not read by most of the later drives which would include the usb ones.

If you enter your password on the ipad too many times and your sim card locks, is there a way of recovery without replacing the sim card?

That doesn't lock the SIM card, it just locks you out of the device.
If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

2 questions, 1 I tried to download developer preview 2, and it did not complete and now I cant redeem again. Is there a way to fix without calling the 800

2 questions, 1 I tried to download developer preview 2, and it did not complete and now I cant redeem again. Is there a way to fix without calling the 800, 2 if i put all itunes in the cloud do i have to store it on my machine still, can i delete movies etc, on hard drive

If you mean the Developer preview of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion you need to be posting this to the appropriate developer forum or AppleSeed forum. We can't help you with software that hasn't been released.
Your second question seems to be related to iTunes Match, yes? Try posting it in that forum.

I have a external back-up that my iMac (10.6.8) won't mount. Is there a way to mount without intializing and losing back-up data?

I have a external back-up that my iMac (10.6.8) won't mount. Is there a way to mount without intializing and losing back-up data? I used time machine to back-up to a Seagate Go-flex hard drive. I get a message from my iMac that says it doesn't recognize this drive and wants to initialize. Hope someone can help.

Try connecting the drive to a Windows machine, then ejecting. If it won't eject properly, restart the Windows machine, and try again. Then try connecting it to the Mac.

This is probably useless, but I'll try anyway. My iPhone5 got drenched in water, is there any way saving it without having to buy another phone?

Take it to the Apple Store
Confess the error of your ways with the soaking of your iPhone
Ask them to check it out
They will charge you $229

I have been using an external hard drive on a PC, I have now moved over to a macbookpro, is there a way to reformat the hard drive without deleting the files currently on the hard drive?

if it's fat32 then the mac can read it without problems
if it's ntfs then you can install programs which make it possible to write to it too otherwise it's read only

How to install WinXP on SATA without floppy drive?

Hi.
Is it possible to install WinXP on PC (with SATA) without floppy drive?
WinXP installer itself doesn't recognize SATA controller, so floppy disk with drivers is included.
But my PC doesn't have any floppy drive (what a relic. none of new PCs should contain a floppy).
How could I install WinXP on my PC? (without buying & mounting floppy drive).
(maybe one of DVD drives, ethernet or flash drive could be used somehow)
thanks.

You can download the article, but you need to do it from your web browser. File -> Save as.

Jeremy,
If you are having to do that all the time, then there is something else wrong with your computing habbits.

I used to try out programs on my old laptop and some of them weren't as clean as I had hoped. So I used to reinstall windows on it all the time. Luckily windows had all the drivers for my laptop so I didn't have to slipstream the drivers, but I probably reinstalled windows every other week. I just figured it was better to try a program on a computer that I didn't rely on rather than my main rig.
Have Fun

Is there a way of knowing which external drive ejects?

Is there a way of knowing which external drive ejects?
I have several external drives and when one ejects on it's own it usually immediately restarts again and does not give me time to find which one was the problem drive.
Is there a way of figuring this out?
Thank you!

No unfortunately without restoring the library and running it there is no way to tell if it is good or not.

My MacBook Air does not have an optical drive. I have a program (Megastar V) which is installed using a CD. Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC laptop to install this program on my MacBook Air?

MacBook Air does not have an optical drive. There is a program I wish to install on my Air which is an astronomy application called Megastar V. Installation requires the use of a CD. Is there a way to use the optical drive on my PC (toshiba laptop using Windows 7) to install this program onto my Air?
With gratitude,

Thank you for explaining to me how to do this. I will try it tomorrow and let all of you know how it goes.

I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs. I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?

That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

Is there a way to securely erase the drive during a fresh install

I'm selling my iMac G5 and Powerbook G4 so I can afford a brand new Intel iMac (the 2.8GHz one). I have Leopard running on both these machines at the moment, but on the iMac G5, I want to restore it to factory settings using the original Tiger install discs (I've lost the ones for the laptop).
I would like to ensure that these computers don't have any personal data on them before they leave... is there a way to completely scrub the drives before performing a reinstall? My only other option at present is to reinstall, then use Disk Utility to securely erase all free space... but I can't remember if that option was available in Tiger.
Perhaps there's some even better way I can prepare these machines for a new user that I haven't thought of?

Ok, I found the best way to ensure that all your personal data is gone before you sell your Mac is as follows:
1. Perform a reinstall of OS X (selecting erase and install)
2. When install has completed, create a quick test account so you can log in
3. Run Disk Utility and erase all free space to the required level (I chose 7 times overwrite)
4. Perform a reinstall of OS X (selecting erase and install) and power the machine off afterwards (when you get the first setup screen.
My reasoning is that after the first fresh install, you only have OS X's files on the filesystem. Any personal data that hasn't been overwritten is in the free disk space. Disk Utility then clears that up and the second fresh install allows you to get the machine to the state you normally get a brand new Mac in (i.e. prompts you for initial setup information).

Is there a way to plug a flash drive into the ipad

Is there a way to plug a flash drive into the ipad

That is not really what the CCK's USB connector is for and a number of folks report that there are USB memory sticks that are not accessibleto the iPad with the connector. Other folks report that sometimes they overcome that issue by using a self-powered USB hub in the daisy chain; USB stick> USB hub > iPad.
The USB connector is for cameras that can only be connected to computers/iOS devices via a USB cable.
