Mac Died need to access my files on my PC

I had an iMac g5. It died. I need to use my SATA HD enclosure to access my files. How can I do this? I have MacDrive installed but my drive doesn't work. I am using a Western digital MY BOOK enclosure.
Please Help!!!!!
Thanks

If the drive has died you cannot access anything on it. If the iMac drive is OK, then install it in the WD enclosure provided it's also a SATA drive.

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue. Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

Use Migration Assistant on your new Mac:
Click Continue:
On the next screen, choose your Time Machine backup disk.
Don't bother to migrate Applications unless you know they will work on your new Mac. For example, PowerPC applications won't work. Just migrate your user account which will copy all your photos, music, movies, and other documents.
Note: you will not be able to migrate the information to same account in which you are already logged in. Migration Assistant will tell you that and recommend what to do. It can migrate the information to a new account, but you will have to give it a name you might want to change later. One way around this is to create a temporary account, log in to it, and run Migration Assistant which will replace your normal account. Then, log out of the temporary account, log in to your usual one, verify everyting works as you expect, and delete the temporary one.
All this can be avoided when you set up a brand new Mac by running Setup Assistant which essentially does the same thing to create your new account, but most people are too excited to do that and elect to migrate later.

[b]Need to access a file which is not specified in the classpath[/b]

Hi everybody ,
I need your help to proceed with my application. I've tried accessing a file without setting it in Classpath using getResourceAsStream(..), but i'm getting an error.

String thisLine ;
try
InputStream is = test.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(file);

System.out.println(thisLine);

Anyone of you help me to get rid of this problem..
Thanks & Regards

It has to be in the classpath for getResourceAsStream
to "get" it.So if your question is really about needing to read a file which is not in the classpath and won't be, then as long as you have the path to that file, just use FileInputStream to read it.
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(pathToFileHere);

Hard drive recently failed and iPhoto brings a -36 error when copying need help accessing image files

I recently updated my computer to mountain lion and after doing so my computer would no longer boot up. I took it to the apple store and they told me that the hard drive was damaged and needed to be replaced. They were booting my computer with an external drive and in doing so could access my computers HDD. Upon starting to drag and drop files to a new hard drive I started to get a lot of -36 errors. I proceeded to go go,e and create my own bootable thumb drive and try doing the same process with more time to look through it. I have up till now been able to copy most of my files but have run into a problem with iPhoto.
I have been searching around for a while now and have yet to find a method that helps me in my particular situation so I am now asking for help myself. I will explain what my current system of file recovery is and see if anyone can help me out.
I have since then replaced the HDD in my computer and purchased a SATA external HDD enclosure for the original drive. This allows me to still access all files and folders from the original drive. I have managed to recover a majority of the files but have recently run into a problem with the iPhoto library. Every time I try to drag and drop the iPhoto library to my new HDD it fails after "transferring" 2.02GB and tells me it has encountered a -36 error because some files cannot be read or written. I believe I am using iPhoto '09, I will check and confirm that later.
I am looking for a way to open iPhoto's library and access the image files it seems to be hiding from me. Please understand that I cannot open the iPhoto library either, I have lost access to the library entirely and want to see if there are any image files that I can save. I dont have the computer backed up recently and want to save my photos. Thanks for looking and I'm hoping someone can help.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command). Rebuild it to the Pictures Folder. This might overcome the -36 issue.
(This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.)
Failing that you're into recovering your Originals from the damaged Library and creating a new Library and starting over from scratch.

Need to restart the explorer.exe process virtually every single time I need to access a file

As the subject/title says.
This is on my replacement ThinkPad W530 which replaced my previous T530. I had my T530 from about April until earlier this week when it was picked up. The T530 gave me nothing but problems, including, but not limited to:
Constant stalling of everything on the laptop with no mouse movement
An out of the blue nonfunctioning microphone mute button and fingerprint reader a few weeks after I had the T530's motherboard replaced (because of the stalling issue)
Every hour or so, I would get successive blackouts of the screen that were about 3-5 seconds apart. Sometimes they would reset the maximisation of the windows I had open
But I digress; those were issues with my previous ThinkPad. Now the major standout issue I have with my W530 is that pretty much any time I want to access a file, I have to close and restart the explorer.exe process. This results from:
Not being able to access folders or folder shortcuts on my desktop
Not being able to use anything on my taskbar including the start menu. This includes hitting the windows key
NOTE: this is an issue with WINDOWS explorer and NOT INTERNET explorer, which one member of your support team was not able to distinguish - this person tried to direct me to WiFi troubleshooting.
The only way I have been able to remedy this has been to use task manager to reset it.
In addition, you would expect a W530 with an i7-3740QM and an Nvidia K2000M Quadro to be pretty much buttery smooth, especially considering it's about 2 weeks old, right? Far from it. This is the slowest excuse for a new laptop that is this well spec'd I have ever used.
I have done factory resets and pretty much everything under the sun within the realms of the Lenovo periperhal programs to try to remedy it (so as to not void my warranty) to no avail.
If this problem cannot be fixed without me going well out of my way, then I am demanding a refund. Your support team, whilst generally helpful and *usually* knowing what they are talking about, have not been a help, and have honestly just been another hurdle to get past so I can get my money back. I do applaud them for the willingness to sit and walk people through everything.
If this is the price I pay for the reliability of a Lenovo ThinkPad, then I greatly look forward to the glorious day I can be rid of Lenovo from my life and making about $500 while I go buy an equivalently or better spec'd laptop from quite literally any other computer company on the planet.

What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

I need to access a file which is present in LAN of our office.

Hi,
In windows I could access a remote file by giving the local IP address in the RUN command and then by giving the username and password I was able to access the files in the local server. But not able to do the same with my iPad?
Ex: In windows in RUN Command I used to type // 192.168.1.100 ( my local server) after which I used to get a window showing username and password. Once I entered the username and password I was able to access the remote files on this IP and work accordingly.. This I'm not able to do in my IPad?
Kindly give me a solution?

There may be some apps in teh app store that would provide this, but no, you will not be able to do it with native iOS functionality.

Pls Help: monitor died, need quick access.

Current situation:
-Have a mac pro
-Screen died / have no backup monitor
-Have iBook & G4 iMac
Question: Is there a quick/easy/free way to get to my iMac (like something similar to remote desktop etc...)?
I know I can boot it just to access the drives from my iBook or iMac but would like to run some of my apps.
Many thanks!
John

What apps do you need to run? Many vendors (Adobe especially) have trial downloads of their apps that might hold you over until the display is replaced.
Unless you enabled a Remote Desktop user or SSH in System Preferences>Sharing before your display died you'll have a tough time accessing anything over a network. If you have another Intel based machine you could boot it from the Mac Pro's HD and access it that way, but I'm afraid that's not an option with your two PPC Macs.

Password needed to access pdf file in email

Ok Im trying to access a pdf file in a email, but when I click on the link a box pops up saying that it is PDF password protected. I have never set up a password, so where do I get this magical password b/c I need to view the email. I have a MAC if that makes a difference. THank you so much if you can help.

It is not because you set a password for the file but the email sender. If you could not open the file with password protected, you will ask help from the pdf author. And if you could not copy or print. you can use PDF Password Remover to rip the restrictions.Best wishes.

Iphone and computer died, need to get the files from hard drive

Iphone and computer died at the same time, my hard drive on the computer is ok, i did a external connection of my hard drive to my laptop, my iphone was backed up on itunes on the computer which are on the hard drive, how do i extract contacts and other files from the hard drive thanks

If the old drive is not accessible then, no, you will not be able to access all your files on it. In this case you may need to look at the following:
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

What do i need to access my files from any internet connection

I'm a bit confused, i've found some good videos on youtube on setting up the server but can't get the file shareing to work (of course the only reason i got the server). Some have told me i need a dyns routing service, so i used machighway.com but i still could not connect to my server from any internet conection outside of my home wifi. Now i've been told that i need VPN to be able to do that. So i'm hoping that someone can help clear this up and point me in the right direction. I can connect to the server using my Mac book air over my wifi (using an airport extreme). please help, i've had this server for half a year and have yet to be able to use it for what i intended.
(i upgraded the server to OS X Mountan Lion, and upgraded the app to OS X Server)

Here's how I did it.
-Open a free account at no-ip.org
-Download their app, change your server's hostname to the hostname you selected for your brand new no-ip.org account. Ideally you'd perform this step on a clean install of the Server since changing the hostname can mess a lot of the services up.
-You'll be able to tell it's working by enabling the Websites service and visiting your new no-ip.org hostname in a web browser. You should see the default server page.
If you have follow up questions for me, I don't read this forum much but I am on reddit a lot and I'm trying to start a new subreddit for mac servers: http://reddit.com/r/macserver . Post a thread on there.

Need help accessing Mail files after Updgrade to OS X 10.5

I recently did an Erase and Install of my new Leopard OS X. Before doing so, I copied my complete mail file from 10.4 to an external HD.
After installing 10.5, I tried to import the old files from the HD and I get a message that says my Mail file is not compatible with this version of OS X. This is a REALLY big problem because I have 8 years worth of contacts stored in those mail files
I don't know what to do. I have since set-up new mail accounts, so I am using my Mail Program without problems. I need to know how to access my old files. I have tried everything I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.

which Mail file do you mean? the Mail application itself? that was the wrong thing to copy. the application itself contains no user data at all. all your mail data was stored inside your home directory in the folder homedirectory/Library/Mail. if you didn't back up that folder, your Mail data is gone. Your ONLY chance (and it's a small chance) of recovering your Mail data now is to use data rfecovery software like [Data Rescue II|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [FileSalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1] and try to restore that Mail folder. You should do this ASAP to decrease the chance that this data will be overwritten.

Help needed to access a file from and email link.

I received an email with a link to an Adobe document. When I attempt to open the link I receive a message " You do not have accewss to the file" How do I gain access?

Then it is the case I mentioned, the author sent the URL from the address bar viewing the form in Edit mode rather than copying the Fillable Form link.
You'll need to respond to the form author and ask them to send out the correct link/URL to the fillable form (which does not ask for any login). They can go to the "Distribute" tab and on the "Web Form" sub-tab click "Copy Link", if the form is "Closed" it will ask if they want to "Open" the form, the form needs to be in the "Open" state to collect responses so say "Yes". This will copy the link to their clipboard and they can then send that link/URL out.
Also, if they close the form (by clicking the X in the upper right corner) and are looking at the "My Forms" tab in FormsCentral, with the form selected there is a "Link" button in the toolbar along the top which copies the form URL to send out.
Here are a few documents that include information on how to distribute forms: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/quickstart/distribute-web-form.html
