My new/used G5...trouble ack! help please
I bought a used powermac G5 single 1.8 3gRAM. I installed tiger and have been trying to run an audio app called Digital Performer 4.6, but there has been terrible cpu spikes. The DP forums suggest that the new 4.6 version has some troubles with tiger. So, I was trying to install panther on my hard drive so that I could boot up in panther and see if DP worked better in that OS.
The computer shut restarted. About 30 sec into the reboot, the apple in the screen switches so that a third of it is cut off and switched over to the left side of the remaining apple--meaning it freezes. Now I can't figure out how to get the disk drive open.
Here is the kicker: the computer was dropped by fedex in the process of shipping. The case of the computer is bent and the rivets along the bottom have popped. I ran a system test of the computer's internal parts and everything passed. I am waiting for fedex to send me the claim app so that their insurance can fund the $600 plus to get everything taken out and replaced in a new case.
I am worried that the present freeze is a result of the damage in shipment.
1. How do I get the disk out?
2. What would should I do to test the internal working condition of the computer in light of the dropped computer?
Well....of course I am going to take it in or get it fixed or excahanged or whatever. I called apple...and they kinda helped me. But not really. They said it could be this...or that...or that.
I just wanted to get alittle feedback from actual fellow mac users and see if they have had similiar experience and what it could be.
I'm just trying to learn as much as i can before I have to lug it all the way into apple. Information is power.
Anyone else with some real advice?

i manually deleted my iphone photos through windows explorer now it wont sync new music or backup. any help please?
If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup. -

No it is not. iPhones, like all cell phones are not locked to countries. They are locked to carriers.

I am having trouble with my new Mac....Help please
I just got a new Mac G4 from my neighbor, who happens to be older, so the computer is still in great condition. The only problem is, he doesn't remember the login password! So I can start the computer, but I can't actually login. And I've tried to put the Panther reboot disc in and the restart it, but it doesn't do anything. None of the discs will even try to load when I put them in to restart the computer. Its not like the HP computer I have, whereas if I put the reboot disc in it actually works.
This is my first Mac computer and I'm not really familiar with them that much, so if some one could point me in the right direction, other than taking it to an actual retailer and having to pay them a bundle of money to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it.Cool handyandy42!

New hard drive issues - need help please!
So I just installed a new hard drive on my Ideapad S10 and having the following issues. I get a PXE-E61 : Media test failure check cable & PXE-M0F : Exiting Broadcom PXE rom message. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drive to check the connection and still get the error, it's a brand new drive. Also I noticed in the BIOS that the hard drive is showing up under ssd disk and SATA hdd shows - none. If I restore the BIOS settings to original then the drive will show up under ssd but the SATA controller mode will show the AHCI setting instead of the Compatible setting it should use.
I'm really stuck here and don't know what else to check. My orginal drive is dead so I'm trying to get this working so I can install windows. If anyone could help out it would be greatly appreciated - Thanks!Full Disclosure: I don't know your machine.
That PXE error probably doesn't indicate a problem - or not the problem, anyway. Your machine boots, doesn't see an operating system on the hard drive (or doesn't see a hard drive at all) and tries to boot over the network and fails. That's what the PXE error is about.
As to the SATA problems, what happens when you boot your Windows install media? Does that see a hard drive?

I'm new to java and need help please
I have an assignment involves modifying a previous assignment. the code for the previous assigment is shown below.(it was required to be done as an applet this assigment can be an application or an applet) I'm trying to modify this code to read a text file (items.txt) that looks like this:
item # description price(this line does not appear in the text file)
001 shaving cream 400.00
999 razors 30.00
I need to load the item# and price from the text file into arrays(I have no clue how to use multi-dimensional arrays in java and would prefer not to)
I need to search the arrays based on the values entered by the user (item # and quantity) calculate the total for that item then create a new text file which has each line item for that order in the form:
item# quant price per item total(price per item*quant entered)
also also I need to be able to display the four items listed above after each loop as well as all the previous item number and quantities they selected until they indicate they don't want to select anymore.
I've been working on this for days and it seems like nothing I try works. My major problems are:
1. I have no idea how to read the text file and load those 2 items into their respective arrays
2. I can't seem to create a textfile that looks like text for the output file.

I've been working on this for over a week and everything I try goes nowhere.First answer: You shouldn't ask multiple questions in the same thread. Ask a specific question, with an appropriate subject line (optionally, assign the number of Dukes you are willing to give for the help). When question #1 is answered and question #2 arises, it's time for a new thread (don't forget to give out Dukes before moving on).
Second answer: I think you need a Transfer Object (http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/TransferObject.html). It's whole purpose is to hold/transfer instance data where it is needed. Create a class something like this:
public class ItemTO
private String _number;
private String _description;
private double _price;
public ItemTO( String number, String description, double price )
_number = number;
_description = description;
_price = price
// Getter/Setter methods go here
}then, in the code where you read in the file do something like this:
BufferedReader input = null;
try
input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader( "c:\\a.txt" ) );
List items = new ArrayList();
String line;
String itemNumber;
String itemDescription;
double itemPrice;
while ( (line = input.readLine() ) != null )
System.out.println( line );
itemNumber = // Parse it from line
itemDescription // Parse it from line
itemPrice = // Parse it from line
items.add( new ItemTO( itemNumber, itemDescription, itemPrice ) );
catch ( FileNotFoundException fnfe )
fnfe.printStackTrace();
catch ( IOException ioe )
ioe.printStackTrace();
finally
try
if ( input != null )
input.close();
catch ( Exception e )
e.printStackTrace();
}As for how to parse the line of the file, I'll leave that to you for now. Are the three values delimited with any special characters?

New/Additional phone line question- help please!
Hi
I am after some advice, and every time I call BT I get passed around as I am not 100% on what to ask for, or who I should speak to.
Basically, we have 2 phone lines coming into the house. One line/number + broadband signal goes via a repeater to the office which is a separate building across the garden (approx 300m but I am not sure on the actual distance). The signal is not great, for the broadband particularly - often drops out etc. To solve this we would like a new physical line installed in the office building to give us a separate phone and broadband package to that of the main house, but ideally keeping the same number as we currently use in the office. The office is used everyday for working from home and so is important to us.
Does that make sense? I fully expect that an engineer will need to look at the site, and there will be a (significant) charge for the line to be installed (underground pipe work for cables already exists from house to office building and so this could be utilised). Do I just place an order for a new line online, and wait for an engineer's visit? Can I deal with changing the number at a later date if that is easier for the system to deal with? Last time I rang BT, I was told I needed to speak to the exceptions team, when I was put through to them she told me all I needed to do was speak to customer services, customer services thought I was trying to move home and then didn't seem to understand what I needed (but it was probably how I was explaining it!).
I would be so grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, or give me tips on what to ask for. My main worry is keeping the same phone number as it would be so much easier.
Thanks in advance

ChristyHi sbas54,
If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
All your other songs (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...
