My used QS G4 came with 10.1 and now I need some answers...
I just purchased a uzed QS Power Mac G4 at my local apple dealer in his annual used mac stuff after the boxing day sale. EDITORIAL COMMENT: In selling these used macs the dealer ship staff always behave as if they are selling stuff out of the trunk of a car in a back alley.
I wanted to add this mac to my mac museum.
Please allow me to ask a few ????
This mac had 10.1 and OS 9 installed.
What is the ***** cat name for 10.1? Sort of shows you the age of this machine albeit for me it has potential inexpensive expansion.
After trying this OS X I installed TIGER.
However in my haste I misspelled the name of my little house. What's a fast way to correct the spelling error without using terminal? Or, do I just do an archieval install?
The installer also zapped OS 9 because it said, oh I can't remember what it said.
I assume I can re-install 9 after OS X installation or do I have to install OS 9 first and then OS X TIGER ?
I have some fav midi/audio programmes that were never ported to OS X or those programmes are still my fav.
Also, can I install/use a web cam or iSight ?
Any recommendations for a web cam ? The iSight is horribly expensive.
From Apple's history museum:
MacOS X Public Beta: Kodiak
MacOS X 10.0: Cheetah
MacOS X 10.1: Puma
MacOS X 10.2: Jaguar
MacOS X 10.3: Panther
MacOS X 10.4: Tiger
MacOS X 10.5: Leopard
Changing the user's shortname is a bit complicated. The easiest solution is to download the freeware utility ChangeShortName from www.macupdate.com. Do NOT simply rename the folder - this will not work.
OS 9 may be installed at any time regardless of whether OS X is already installed or not. You will need a bootable OS 9 installer CD with version 9.1 or higher. You can install OS 9 on the same volume with OS X or you can partition the hard drive and install OS 9 on one partition and OS X on the other. This particular arrangement makes it possible to switch between operating systems using OPTION booting.
You can use a web cam or iSight with that computer. I don't use either so I can't offer a recommendation. However, I'm partial to using Apple peripherals when it comes to "specialized" items because they tend to have fewer compatibility problems. This document will help you identify compatible peripherals: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25403.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Toshiba Satellite L455 didn't come with a disc and now I need to reformat it
I got it a year ago and to my surprise it didn't come with any discs. I definately need to since so many things are slowing it down probably viruses and the like. So what are my options of getting it back to its original condition when I got it? Is there a way to get a disc (If so is it cheap?) or any other methods of getting my laptop back to its original condition? Please help!
You should always post your full model number like L455-S1591 when posting a problem here.
However, in your case, first you should make a set of recovery DVDs, I think you'll need 3 DVDs. Click on 'Start' and then type in recovery and click Toshiba Recovery Media Creator, then follow the directions there. This is for emergency purposes, in case something happens to your Toshiba recovery partition. You can see the instructions for this on beginning page 68 of your user guide.
After you've made your set of recovery disks, restart your machine, when you see the Toshiba logo press and hold the '0' (zero) key until your see the Toshiba recovery utility menu.The instructions for this begin on page 60 of your user guide.
Good luck.

I am part of a 2 person group, who's entering a documentary for the NHD competiton. If you don't know what that is here's a link: http://www.nhd.org. Anyway, that doesn't really matter. What does matter, is that my partner and I, we're using Final Cut Pro X to make the documentary. I downloaded the Final Cut Pro X trial on my MacBook Pro so I could work on our documentary at home. My partner Cecilia, wanted to work on it as well, but using Windows Media Player or something like that. My family uses a lot more Apple than windows. So I come home, work a little on our documentary, go under file ---> share ------> masterfile---> settings-----> Video Codec -----> H.264. A couple seconds/ miniutes (it didn't take very long) later, I see our documentary as a Quick Time file pop up under my documents. I then log into gmail. i click compose, type in my partners e-mail, and then click the little paper clip to attach my new quick time file. Considering that it's 11 minutes long and is filled with media and audio, It's no suprise when I see that it exceeds the limit of ...gigabytes i think. So i send it to her using google drive. However, a couple minutes later, my partner says that she can see the file, but can't seem to download it. I double-check and make sure that I, as the owner, allowed her to edit the file. Then I check to see if i accidently clicked: "Prevent viewer from downloading" which I hadn't. Then i, myself, click on the file and click download and it works fine for me, but apparently doesn't work at all for her windows computer. This means that there's somethig wrong with her computer, or I did something wrong while sharing the file. Any ideas as to why the whole downloading process worked on my Apple Laptop and not her Windows Computer?

i got a macbook pro 13 inch core i5 late 2011 , it came with osx lion and i been using facebook videocalls normaly , now i updated to Mountain lion
but when i use facebook video calls in (safari ,chrome ) i see the window box but i only see my self i can hear my friends but cant see em, they also can see me and hear me but i just see me and hear them .
any ideas ?Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

How can I use a USB camera with cRIO 9022. Please see my strange problem.
Hi,
I would like to use a USB camera with NI cRIO 9022. I used the same USB camera with NI USB 6216 DAQ device and developed a VI(within a PROJECT and outside it). So, It is working fine with NI USB 6216 device when I use the Vision Assistant Express VI and gets detected in its Initialization Window. Please see JPEG File 3 where I get NO ERROR.
I am facing a problem when I want to use it with NI cRIO 9022. What exactly I am doing in this case is:
1) Create a NEW PROJECT
2) Add Targets and Devices(NI cRIO 9022)
3) Use the Scan Interface mode
4) Create a NEW VI under the cRIO 9022 device
5) Use a Timed Loop(Synchronized with Scan Engine) for continuous Data Acquisition and Sending from the Analog I/O modules.
6) Use the Vision Assistant available through the NI Vision Acquisition 2010 Module(I get STUCK HERE! The Express VI opens the Initialization Window, but I don't see the USB camera like in JPEG File 3)
I am facing difficulties with this HOST COMPUTER, cRIO implementation differences. On my host computer I have the software packages as shown in JPEG File 1, and on my cRIO 9022 as shown in JPEG File 2.
Can someone guide me how to overcome this and get the USB camera detected when I am using NI cRIO 9022?
NOTE: If this is a problem with software mismatches on HOST and NI cRIO 9022 device, please see JPEG Files 1 and 2 for available software and Host and cRIO 9022.
Thanks.
Amar.

if you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?
You have been syncing the iPhone with iTunes on your computer without a SIM card inserted in the iPhone for how long?
If the iPhone says connect to computer, this means there is a problem with your iPhone that requires restoring the iPhone with iTunes. As already provided, not having a SIM card inserted in an iPhone does not prevent or shouldn't prevent syncing the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on the iPhone model, it is required in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3406
To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:
Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch. -
