Is there any way to browse a USB disk while booted from OSX install disk?

My hard drive died on me the other day (the mac partition anyway) and I'm trying to use a data recovery program to get my data back. I have the application on my USB key, and I assumed I'd then be able to use the OS X installer disk to boot up and then run this program from the USB drive but the installer doesn't let me browse folders or quit... Is there any way to do this? I don't have another mac to firewire or anything so it's either this or order a recovery program on a bootable disk, which I really don't want to do as I need this done fast... Any suggestions?

Your utility for data recovery usually should have come with a Mac bootable DVD with its own application on it. If it didn't, contact them for a disc that will boot your Mac with the utility on it. Your other option is to get a Firewire hard drive, partition it, and install the operating system there on one partition large enough for the operating system, while leaving the other partition large enough to recover the entire unbootable hard drive.
Partitioning is described here, and will WIPE your entire hard drive:

Is there any way to browse all sales excluding rental only & short films?

Is there any way to browse all film sales excluding rental only & short films?
I am finding the laborious process of clicking through page by page in cover view annoying to the extreme to search new additions to the available film sales lists every week or so. The display page is always slightly deeper than my window so it means having to scroll down to view the last row of covers and click next page.
Apple... Is there any chance of having an auto scrolling (with pause and previous/next feature) film cover flow with description view of each film large enough to view the image, preferably filling the screen, perhaps also a feature in Front Row that will show available films to buy/rent in iTunes or an RSS screen saver that could give you a constant update of the last 10/20 films added?
Something that will make the task of searching for titles you might like to buy less of a 'task' and more intuitive. I don't really want to browse by Genre and a Cover image only view tells you nothing about the film.
If the screen in front of me gave me a constantly (controllable when required) changing view, similar to the content displayed in Front Row of a title you have selected i'd be happy.

I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive. Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!!

I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs. Hope someone can help. Thanks!

I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>. It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

Use iTunes to backup files from your old ipod first then transfer to the new iPod. Please
follow the steps in How to transfer your backup from one iOS device to a new device. By the way, if you don't have the iTunes, you can use this iPhone transfer program. It help you to transfer sms and contacts from iPhone.
Hope it helps.

Is there any way to get the query used in discoverer from backend??

Hi All,
I am new to dicoverer.
Is there any way to get the query used in discoverer from backend??
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
you can view the SQL from within the discoverer menu:
in desktop: View-> SQL Inspector
in Plus: Tools-> Show SQL
The SQL in the DB tables is encrypted so it's a problem getting it from there.
You can export the workbook into SQL but it is not working for every worksheet (subquery, inline pivot tables...)
you can create a batch file to export them all using the output of this script:
select null,null,'echo off'
from dual
union all
select distinct
qs.qs_doc_name Workbook_name,
qs.qs_doc_details Worksheet_Name,
'start /wait <path>\dis51usr.exe /connect '||'&p_user_name'||'/'||'&p_password'||'@'||'&p_env'||' /apps_user /apps_responsibility "&responsibility" /opendb '||
chr(34)||qs.qs_doc_name||chr(34)||' /sheet "'||qs.qs_doc_details||'"'||' /export SQL "C:\Export Discoverer SQL\'||qs.qs_doc_name||'-'||qs.qs_doc_details||'.sql" /batch'
from eul_us.eul5_qpp_stats qs
where qs.qs_doc_name is not null
--order by 1,2
union all
select null,null,'echo off'
from dual
union all
select null,null,'exit'
from dual

Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone when i am not in a wifi area... The guy at the ATT

Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone without having to purchase a "plan" from ATT&T....The guy at the store said that I had to purchase a new plan with "so much" GB per month and loose my unlimited amount that I am grandfathered into with my current plan... any thoughts?

Unfortuneatly, you would have to give up your unlimited plan. In the US you would have to get the 2GB plan for $25 and add the teathering plan for $20 more. The teathering plan would give you another 2GB of data for a total 4GB.

HT201365 What do I do if my wifi only iPad mini is offline? Is there any way that I can locate it while being offline or turn it online remotely or possibly use the built in GPS?.

What do I do if my wifi only iPad mini is offline? Is there any way that I can locate it while being offline or turn it online remotely or possibly use the built in GPS?.

Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
=T20+1
but also in
=SUM(T)
=SUM(20:20)
=SUM(S19:U22)
=OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
=INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

Hi Icebreaker
Thanks for getting back to me.
I successfully upgraded the Firmware to the latest available on the site - I don't have the camera here to confirm the vesion number but the upgraded Firmware was reported in the setup application.
WPA is AES, which is all that the Thomson router seems to support and I did notice that the camera was looking for TKIP. However, I have tried with WEP and no security to test, with no luck either. I am testing with the camera within 10 feet or so of the router and getting an error message re. checking network condition and the Network doesn't seem to even 'See' the camera as such and the Wireless LED is not lighting up. That's why I was wondering if the Wireless was faulty.
thanks again

Is there any way to prevent the right click context menu from combining Stop/Reload?

Is there any way (about:config tweak, or something) to prevent the right click context menu from combining Stop/Reload?
Screenshot of what I'm talking about: http://picsend.net/images/873089StupidReloadSto.png

I did try the add-on ''Menu Editor'' https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ but even when I separate the navigation reload and stop icons and explicitly have both stop and reload set to be visible on the right click context menu I only get the one option showing.
Whilst there may be some way of changing this I do not know how to and I do not really see any use case for making such a change. Only one option of the choice: stop or reload, is available at any instance in time, but that is the option you are able to use, the other option is not active and so is not displayed.
