Need help from any Mac OS guru's...

Good Morning All,
Yesterday afternoon I bought a used iBook G4 from craigslist in a nearby town. I bought it to use as a DVD player/web browser type thing on trips.
So I bought it thinking all was good, and that it was going to be a good companion on our planned trip to Washington D.C. this April. But when I got home and tried popping a DVD into the CD-ROM tray, it made some noise and spat it out. So I checked the system profiler and saw that this computer was actually a G3 and the disk drive was only a CD-ROM drive. CRAP!
Knowing I couldn't do anything about this, and that I had wasted $250 on a useless machine I started pawing through my portfolio of old Macintosh software and thought "Wow. Maybe I could get all of this stuff onto this machine."
My problems are as follows:
-The only copy of Mac OS that I have to my name is 8.5
-I've got a ton of great games such as MazeWars, Nanosaur, Hellcats over the pacific.
-I want to keep Mac OS X Tiger on this machine because I do have OS X software that I like to use.
-I've only got about 9GB to do this with
-I know Mac OS classic doesn't support 8.5
-I don't want to use an emulator such as SheepShaver or Basilisk.
-My computer won't start from the 8.5 CD
Is there a way I could install OS 8.5 and switch from OS X to 8.5 by selecting the system folders before I restart? Any help is appreciated
Also: I do have a Mac OS 9.1 update disc if that helps at all...

Hi, Khalbrae -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
It's not obvious, but the usual problem is that the person is looking at a Category page rather than at a Forum page.
The "Post New Topic" button/link is not available on a Category page. It is only displayed when viewing a Forum page.
Category pages display a section (sometimes more than one) near the top which contains a list of the Forums subordinate to that Category. They also display a list of the most recent Topics (threads) active in all the Forums subordinate to that Category - hence the lack of obviousness.
So, in order to be able to post it is necessary to enter a Forum by selecting one (ideally the most appropriate one) of those listed in a section at the top of each Category page.
The type of page is shown at the beginning of the page's name, which is displayed in large face a bit under the "Apple Discussions" legend in the near-top-left of each page. It is also displayed in the page's URL immediately before the "ID" element.
Once you get used to the distinction between Category and Forum pages, your travels in Discussions will become near automatic.

This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Hola scj2000-
Muchas gracias por visitar nuestro foro en búsqueda de una explicación al cargo que recién apareció en tu tarjeta de crédito.
Entiendo su preocupación, ya que cualquier cargo extraño que aparece en un estado de cuenta puede ser alarmante. En este caso, el último cargo que puede recuperar usando el correo electrónico que usaste para registrarte al foro, refleja que se renovó un antivirus Kaspersky. Esta autorización nos diste cuando realizaste la compra de tu Lenovo, desde entonces se renueva automáticamente la licencia de antivirus.
Las otras publicaciones que has leído, indican lo mismo. Un cargo que se ha hecho a la tarjeta de crédito que se presentó durante la compra con la autorización del cliente.
Lamento mucho la confusión y espero esto aclare tu duda.
Atentamente,

Need help with new Mac Pro (2012)

Hi for everyone!
Few days ago, I bought a new Mac Pro (Mid 2012) MD770LL/A for my recording studio. The workstation is really powerfull and silent, but it has one major problem for me: computer comes with pre-installed Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion, and as I understand, I can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on this machine. In this case, some plug-ins and instruments, that critical for my works are unavailable for me now. For example - MusicLab RealGuitar and RealLPC thru the VST to RTAS adapter (I'm using Pro Tools in my studio) don't working correctly on a Lion OSX. Unfortunately, I can't find any solution, to fix it... Even on an official support website of that software developers. Secondary, I still need Rosetta for some applications.
In that situation, my studio can't fully work.
So, what I should do??? WHY is officialy impossible to install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a new Mac Pro, if its components is absolutely identic with Mac Pro 2010, that supported Mac OS X Snow Leo???
Thanks!
With a big hope for a help!
Alexey

Hi!
Good news for anyone, who wants to install Mac OS X 10.6.x on a Mac Pro 2012!!!
As it turned out, the original installation DVD disc from the Mac Pro 2010, fully compatible with Mac Pro 2012! The images of DVD is quite possible to find on the Internet. Just checked on my system - boot from the fresh-burned disc, and Mac OS X 10.6.4 installed without problems! After that, updated to 10.6.8 - and it works!
Personally for me - it is great news!
Everyone have a nice day! Thanks!:-)

Hi i need help from u ........people.........

hi,
i need some answers.......
Q1. how to open a session from the report without going into the SM35?
Q2.how to modify the script without modifying the predefined print program using form routines?procedure please?
Q3.if we want to copy the fields into the target table which has not suffiecient memory space,then how can we copy those fields?
Q4. see the fields given below
              f1      f2        f3      f4
1            a       b         a       d
2            c       b         c       a
3            b        b         a       d
4            c        b         a        d
if we say AT NEW F2 and ON CHANGE OF F2 what happens ? and wt is the no of triggering?
regards
vishnu vardhan k.v.

Q1) Use the function module BDC_OPEN_GROUP
                                          BDC_INSERT
                                          BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
Q2)........................
You can use the PERFORM command to call an ABAP subroutine (form) from any program, subject to the normal ABAP runtime authorization checking. You can use such calls to subroutines for carrying out calculations, for obtaining data from the database that is needed at display or print time, for formatting data, and so on.
PERFORM commands, like all control commands, are executed when a document is formatted for display or printing. Communication between a subroutine that you call and the document is by way of symbols whose values are set in the subroutine.
Syntax in a form window:
/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
INVAR1 and INVAR2 are variable symbols and may be of any of the four SAPscript symbol types.
OUTVAR1 and OUTVAR2 are local text symbols and must therefore be character strings.
The ABAP subroutine called via the command line stated above must be defined in the ABAP report prog as follows:
FORM <form> TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
ENDFORM.
The values of the SAPscript symbols passed with /: USING... are now stored in the internal table IN_TAB . Note that the system passes the values as character string to the subroutine, since the field Feld VALUE in structure ITCSY has the domain TDSYMVALUE (CHAR 80). See the example below on how to access the variables.
The internal table OUT_TAB contains names and values of the CHANGING parameters in the PERFORM statement. These parameters are local text symbols, that is, character fields. See the example below on how to return the variables within the subroutine.
Q4)
Those will not be triggered in the case of Onchage of F2.
But it will get triggered in the case of AT NEW F2.
b'coz at new is a group based operation...
till f2 if any change occurs in the left handside fields then this will be triggered for that record...
and all the right hand side fields contains ***** as their values....
reward if it helps u.....

Need help from people who know Java. Some beginner questions.

Hello all.
I just recently became interested in programming and I chose Java to learn (not really sure why), I am not really interested in the whole Java Applets thing because i can already do the same things in Flash. What I really want to do is to be able to make a program that can actually complete a task; for instance Is it hard/possible to fabricate a program that could say... do a simple task like open my browser, copy a file, move something ect. What type of file would it be? Would it be a standalone program or .class for MS-DOS? Also (I'v been doing examples and lessons) why are these done in my command prompt and not just executed as the program (.java?) they are (written in notepad). What is my java program export file called that can be used by others with java enviornment. I will finish an excersize and it will say congrats you've just made you first program, but if its a program then why am i running it in command prompt unlike a program i have like Adobe Photoshop where i click the icon and it opens. Is there a better language for me?
These questions may sound stupid but i'v scrutinized the internet and found very little on these topics.
Any help to any question would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks alot,
Tim

If you want to write a GUI, then you will have to use AWT, Swing, and or SWT....
There are several advanced concepts you will have to master before you can write effective GUI's..
If your looking for an easy way out, learn VB. You will need M$'s IDE to compile though.. Or VBA from within your favorite Windows APP... Many support VBA like the Office Suite, Autocad, and Open Office, and many more..

Need help from Blackberry - Can't register 9860 in BB network.

Yesterday I have bought a 9860 torch from an online auction site in Romania. The phone is looking great, working great, except I cannot register it on the blackberry network, in order to use an internet data plan. As soon as I turned the phone on, the yesOPTUS carrier logo appeared on the screen, indicating that this device once belonged to someone in Australia. My carrier is Orange Romania and I am using it on a pre-paid SIM card with the "blackberry unlimited 4" internet option that Orange offers in Romania. When I try to go to Host Routing Table in the phone's menu, there is nothing displayed there. I tried to send the registration message and remove the battery (while the decice is ON) and put it back in, with no result. I have spent a day on the phone with the data plans support team at Orange Romania, virtually troubleshooting every possibility to connect the device to the bb network - they even created a bb access point specifically for my phone number - everything without result. When I tried to create a blackberry account on blackberry.orange.ro with my PIN and IMEI, the page replied that my account is disabled and that I should contact my carrier. Which I did. And they said that I should either talk to Blackberry or yesOPTUS, as there is a possibility that my device is already registered with the BB network on the yesOPTUS, from it's first owner back in Australia, and that my PIN may need to be erased from a database in order to be re-synced with my carrier. The way I see it, it's either that, or Orange does not carry the 9860 in their network (yet?). The certain fact is that I ended up with a beautiful device that I can't use to it's fully potential. Any help from Blackberry is fully appreciated. Thanks.

Optus is in the only one that can remove the PIN/IMEI from their system. You need to contact them.
If the device has been reported lost or stolen, they won't remove it.

How to (make best) use external js library from html object (need help from dev)

Ok, on another discussion about rotating full screen backgrounds slideshows, i was orientated to try a small lib named "backstrech"
I throw myself in, and i really like what we can do with it.
To use it simply, just make an html object and paste this in :
<script src="http://musecdn2.businesscatalyst.com/scripts/4.0/jquery-1.8.3.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="assets/jquery.backstretch.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$.backstretch([
      "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/outside.jpg"
    , "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/garfield-interior.jpg"
    , "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/cheers.jpg"
], {duration: 3000, fade: 750});
</script>
then add the jquery.backstretch.min.js to your "downloaded files" (file menu > files to download)
And you’re done.
Now, i need some help from better developers.
As you can see, my first line is a call to jquery, the same that we find later in Muse exported code.
Reason 1 : without this line, jquery is not defined and the plugin won’t work.
This raises 2 issues :
- We load twice the same ressource which is useless (100k)
- loading js is all about having the page hangs while it loads, hence, they are put at the end of the body.
Does anybody know a way to load this particular html script AFTER we are sure the muse scripts (esp. jquery) have been loaded ?
(in the Edge Animate world, i’d go for the yepnope, and put it at the right place in the code, though, here i have no access to page load structure except head)
PS : in addition to that, i made an exported page/excluded from navigation where i put all the images i wanted for the background, i could then simply change the images lines :
, "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/garfield-interior.jpg"
to
, "images/my_image_name_as_in_ressources.jpg"

Got it, there was a bug in my code. Here is what you do:
1. Download the js file https://raw.github.com/srobbin/jquery-backstretch/master/jquery.backstretch.min.js
2. In Muse: Go to File -> Add Files for Upload and add the script file
3. Open Page Properties -> Metadata -> HTML for <Head>
Paste this code in:
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var loaded = function() {
$.backstretch([
      "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/outside.jpg"
    , "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/garfield-interior.jpg"
    , "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/515046/www/cheers.jpg"
], {duration: 3000, fade: 750});
//Load the plugin:
var head= document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script= document.createElement('script');
script.type= 'text/javascript';
script.onreadystatechange = loaded;
script.onload = loaded;
script.src= 'assets/jquery.backstretch.min.js';
head.appendChild(script);
}; //Window OnLoad
</script>
4. Preview or Publish = Done!

I need help from square one

Alright, i admit it. I need help and more than the normal person. Heres the deal. I have a PC and my Mac. My PC isnt wireless and I just got the AirPort Extreme and am trying to set my MacBook on wireless and my PC thru ethernet thru the AirPort Extreme. I tried reading the books but im not that good at understanding that mumbo jumbo. So I need help with setting up networks, connecting, the whole thing. If anyone could tell me how step-by-step or refer me to a site that will show me how thatd be awesome.

maclover14, Welcome to the discussion area!
How do you connect to the Internet? If it is via broadband (cable modem or DSL) it is very easy.
The steps can be found in the "Designing AirPort Networks" (direct PDF link) document. Look through that document and try to get it setup. Then return here if you have more questions. Don't forget to post what you tried and the issues you encountered.

Need help from any Mac OS guru's...
