Moving Programs with a full erase and load of Tiger

I have a G4 iBook with Panther, I bought Tiger and want to do a full erase and load Tiger fresh. The problem is I have lost my Office 2004 Mac CD and I dont want to loose these programs. Being a fairly new Mac user, is there a simple way to "Back Up" my programs and reload them on Tiger when I do a full erase and load?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Will,
Do you have access to an external drive? A firewire one? If so you can use something like..
Carbon Copy Cloner
or
Super Duper
Both are easy to use and will do that which you seek to accomplish.
Regards

Replaced my computer. Cant sync my ipod to new computer without erasing and loading the empty library on the new computer. Any ideas?

I replaced my computer. When I try to load my music from my ipod to the new computer's itunes, the only option is: "this ipod is synced to another library. Do you wish to erase and load with this library". The new computers library is of course empty. Any ideas?

You should be able to recover the media currently on the iPod with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer.
If you are in the US you should be able to download purchased tracks that are still on sale in the iTunes store on demand once you sign into your iTunes account. If you live anywhere else you may find that a request to redownload your previous purchases might be granted, but the store is under no obligation. You were reminded to back them up at the time of purchase.

My husband and I share a new PC. We have different music tastes and each have an iphone. How can we both use our one computer and one itunes program with separate music libraries and separate iphones?

Each device only syncs waht you select.
Select only what you want for each phone.

HT1430 my iphone 4 has suddenly ceased to work with a full battery and switch will not display slider. How can I reactivate it?

My iphone 4 has suddenly ceased to operate with a full battery and switch will not display slider. How can I reactivate it? Is the memory gone? Will T Mobile replace the memory or the phone if necessary?

Hello,
If you're in a country where there's an apple shop (unfortunately not mine), go check it and ask the employee about it: he's gonna check your Iphone on a "device"
I've got an iphone 5 and it's working very well with me but I have to admit that its battery lasts (slower) than my Ipad 2.
Still i can help with some tips that may improve your iohone's battery by an hour in addition (hopefully):
- close all apps by multitasking....
- do NOT keep the brightness to the max
Believe me you're gonna regret changing your phone to a samsung
Hope i've helped and sorry for my bad english (has english as 3rd language)

Can you reset the phone by holding the on/off switch and home button down until your phone reboots and the Apple logo again displays?

IPad 4 continuously resets, even after full erase and reset.

Hi,
I have an iPad 4 32GB, approx 2 years old. It has started resetting itself at a very annoying rate. At first it was once or twice a day, now it won't ever go more than 5 minutes without a reboot. It has the latest iOS on it, and I've even tried doing a full erase on it. Even in clean, virgin condition (not even associated with an Apple ID, let alone with any new apps installed), it still resets.
It's pretty annoying - even though it was bought in Singapore, I live in Indonesia. This model was never officially released in Indonesia, so the authorised service centre won't look at it. It's out of warranty, so I can't talk to Apple about it except by paying $39. Luckily I am going to Australia next week, so can take it to an Apple Store, but that's very inconvenient. I suspect they will confirm it's a hardware problem and offer me a replacement model (for many hundred of dollars, of course).
Any suggestions?
Michael

Hi Mike,
I can imagine how irritating that is for you. The fact that you've done a full erase of the device and the issue is still ongoing, the best advice I can give you is to take it into the Apple Store when you are in Australia and they'll hopefully run further tests on it to determine why your iPad is resetting so frequently.
I'm not sure about the cost aspect of it, but I'd take it into the store, see what the technicians say and once they've examined your iPad further, they should be able to advise you on what options are available.
Hope this helps,
Ana

HT1430 My iphone died suddenly with a full battery and it won't turn back on.

My iPhone 4 died suddenly with a full battery. I have tried, multiple times, holding the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for over 3 minutes. I have even tried doing that with it plugged in, even though it had a full battery when it stopped working. Any suggestions on what to try next?

Go through the restoring steps described here:
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: Not responding or does not turn on
If that doesn't work, try recovery mode as described a little further down in the same article.

Had to do a full erase and reset of my iPhone to clear 20 GB of space taken up by "Other"

But there has to be a more elegant way.... Why is this happening 3 to 4 years after people first started reporting it? It always seems to happen when I decide to up the bit rate from 128 kbs to 192 kbs or higher. iTunes is still apparently too stupid to realize that I want to REPLACE the 128 kbs files with 192 kbs versions and gives a "not enough space available" during the sync and leaves a huge pile of "Other" with no way to recover it other than an erase and restore.
So, what is the "more elegant" way of dealing with this?

Locked me out of editing my post.... I did the iCloudius restore, and it used up about 6 gigs and gave me a message that not all music could be restored and suggested I plug it back into my mbp to get the rest.
Doing that now, and I see that it is now listing the 6 GB as "Other" and is restoring the apps and music (some of which were already there), but now I have 6 GB of "Other" again. Less than 20 GB, so an improvement, but seems to be some confusion between iTunes Match stuff and stuff synced directly from my 'puter.
I try not to use Match, because it eats up data on my daily jogs (who am I kidding, daily walks....)...
I may be able to reproduce this confusion.

Do I need to uninstall programs with a Mac? and more questions.

Aloha all,
I am about 3 days old with my new Macbook. I love it and am almost completely sold to Macs forever. This thing is wonderful.
However, I still dont know all the answers yet and need some help.
I tried to download the Microsoft video player to view a vid online. It never installed properly for some reason, and I just want to know if it even is still on my HD. Do I have to uninstall things like you do on Windows? Where do I go and how do I do this?
Also, I downloaded the newest version of itunes today, yet in my applications folder there is still one itunes icon and a white HD looking icon that says itune 6.0.5. Is that normal?
Hope that made sense.
Thanks for you help in advance.

You might want to use Flip4Mac instead.
If you are downloading Windows Media Player you will also need to download Stuffit Expander as Microsoft have used Stuffit to compress the installation file and Tiger now no longer comes with Stuffit.
Once you have expanded the .sit file you can then run the Windows Media Player installer.
VLC which is a universal binary
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
Flip4Mac allows you to play Windows Media files through Quicktime, however it is not a universal binary so
a) you have to run the installer app through Rosetta to install Flip4Mac
b) Quicktime also has to run through Rosetta to play Windows Media files with Flip4Mac
c) Safari (and other browsers) need to run through Rosetta to play embedded Windows Media files on webpages
and I just want to know if it even is
still on my HD.
Probably.
Do I have to uninstall things like
you do on Windows? Where do I go and how do I do
this?
Depends on the application.
Some have uninstallers (similar to Windows).
Others can be simply dragged to the trash.
Also, I downloaded the newest version of itunes
today, yet in my applications folder there is still
one itunes icon and a white HD looking icon that says
itune 6.0.5. Is that normal?
Yes. That is a mounted disk image. You can safely drag it to the trash.
Hope that made sense.

Livetype will not install after erasing and re-installing Tiger

Hello,
I recently had to install a new hard drive, of which I partitioned, erased and installed OS X Tiger onto my PowerBook G4 15" (1.67/1.5 GHZ).
After all that, I tried re-installing FCP (5). The FCP part worked, but Livetype refused to be installed. So I searched for updates, and found an OSX Dual update, FCP update, and Livetype update, all of which were updated successfully. But Livetype will still not install for some reason.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Shawn

Sorry, should have been more articulate in my description.
During the installation of Livetype, after choosing the destination for livetype to be _Application support_ and starting the installation, the program goes up to 20% during the writing files procedure... and stops.
Says Please try install again.

Merging Itunes Libraries after erase and install of Tiger

Hello all,
If someone can point me in the right direction. i have searched and read a lot of postings about merging libraries. i'm not sure if i fall into any of these categories.
here is what i did:
1. all my itunes music is on an external maxtor 300 gb hard drive.
2. upgraded to tiger - had errors, so needed to do an erase and install.
3. the maxtor external hard drive was disconnected during the upgrade.
4. itunes was installed during the upgrade with none of my current playlists or purchased music since the external drive was not connected (found this out from reading a post).
5. my girlfriend downloaded music that was waiting to be downloaded so now i have music in my new itunes library.
and the questions is:
i would like to combine the new library with the existing library so that all my purchased music is in one folder and i reclaim all my old playlists (the current itunes setup has no playlists yet).
so is there anything i need to do special in this instance?
thanks so much for any and all help.
regards,
ron - nyc

Thanks for your questions. Actually, I did two Archive and Installs and one Erase and Install. In every instance by the time I got the OS up to 10.4.11 (via one combined update) things started acting funky. iPhoto wouldn't work — to get it running required an overwrite install via iLife 05, Appleworks 6 won't open and, as mentioned Mail never worked from the get-go.
I have tried reinstalling only Mail. But as yet no luck getting it to work.
I have been trolling around the forums and have noted a lot of problems regarding Mail in 10.4. When I have time, I will try some of the simpler, albeit arcance, suggested solutions.

Adobe Reader XI is not working. I have used the cleanup tool and reinstalled it. I try to open a .pdf file in the program the window will open and load all the tabs but I am never able to actually interact with them.

I am unable to use adobe reader xi. I have tried to use the clean up tool and re install the reader. That doesn't seem to help. I go to open the pdf file in the reader and the window will load but I am not able to do anything past that point. Almost as if the program freezes once loaded I never get a not responding error until I open the task manager on the computer.

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

I have upgraded twice to FF 4.0 and both times I have had major problems with it not responding and loading pages very slowly.

I have once again gone back to the older 3.6 version. I love the layout of the new 4.0, but I hate all the lagtime and the fact that it stops responding every few minutes. Will this be addressed? I would much rather have the latest version, but the lags are annoying.

I have also updated to the newest version and enjoyed the new look and layout how ever I have experienced confusing issues. For a few months 4.0 ran without a hitch no problem in sight then all of a sudden each time I loaded any link I would experience no indication of it working. Loading up task manager it was running at least twice at demanding memory usage was also high. The cpu usage was just as it always was which was below 5% even with other programs running. It constantly shows that the browser is "(not responsive)"

Cisco 2811 Router with 3 ADSL card and load balancing

Dear All,
I have few queries:
1. Does Cisco 2811 Router support 3 ADSL card?
2. We are the ISP. I want to do load balancing with 3 dsl
line on Cisco 2811 Router.
Please send me the linke for this configuration.
Thanks/Regards
Atul

hi
In 2811 you have 4 HWIC and 1 NME you can install 1-port ADSL WAN Interface Cardon the HWIC slots.
Also just enable 3 default (equal cost) routes towards the interfaces which will take care of the load balancing.
if you need more info and inputs do post out with ur requirements along with network topology in place at present..
