Need help regarding adding a external HD to my G4

I'm a total novice with this. Could someone please answer some questions I have. Thanks in advance.
l. How do I hook it up. USB or Firewire. How? What plugs.
2. How do I boot into the external HD.
3. The internal hard drive will be the original 160GB with Leopard. I want to put Tiger on the external HD.
4. Can anyone recommend an external HD model.
5. How do I transfer Tiger on to the external HD.

Milo, welcome to Apple Discussions.
To be bootable, it has to be a hard drive in an external Firewire enclosure.It connects to your Mac via a firewire cable that usually comes with the enclosure. You can buy the enclosure separate and put any model hard drive in it or buy a combined assembly. You are not limited as to the GB size.
Here's a *MacWorld Buyer's Guide: FireWire hard drives* It's a bit dated, but most of the info is still current.
http://www.macworld.com/article/47614-2/2005/10/firewiremain.html
Here's a list of some *External Firewire Hard Drives* models.
http://www.superwarehouse.com/ExternalFirewire_HardDrives/c2b/2840
I would recommend that you partition the external drive with one partition at least 160GB. You can use this partition as a backup for your data on the 160GB internal drive. You can install Tiger on the other partition.
There are two ways to startup from the Tiger partition. You can depress the Option key at startup, which activates the Startup Manager that shows all bootable devices. You click on the Tiger drive & start up. Or, you can use the Startup Disk in your Preference window.
You use the Tiger install DVD to install Tiger on the firewire drive. Using Disk Utility on the Tiger DVD you will have to format, HFS+ (journaled), the drive prior to installation of Tiger.
Since you are a "novice", I suggest you buy the book by David Pogue - Mac OS X The Missing Manual Leopard Edition. Much of the Leopard info is also applicable to Tiger. Includes everything you need to know about installing OS X, using OS X & maintaining OS X.
Also look at: Find Out How @ http://www.apple.com/findouthow/macosx/

RSI Issue: Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic

Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic
I started my journey with Thinkpads on a T42, then T43.. then T61, X61T, R61 & T410 (bought for 2 cousins & they love it), W510 (dads new laptop). I may be a much recent convert but I swear by them now.
MAJOR ISSUE: Recently started feeling RSI (Repetitive Stress) & Carpal Tunnel symptoms (already doing stretches.. adjusted the desk.. & finding new adjustable LCD stand) since I am not using the Thinkpad directly... but using it docked with an External keyboard. Lot of Mousing as well. I'd like to go back to Thinkpad FEEL... or atleast have keyboard with a pointing device so my hands dont have to keep moving back n forth.
So, it would be great it some of my fellow T4x/T6x/X6x 'ers would guide me a bit on this... share their first hand experience, or what they've seen on these keyboards and feel free to point me to reliable sources of information.
Currently this would greatly be use with T61 - Adv Mini Dock - 30" XHD3000 LCD as shown in my signature below.
Anyone who has used or know something about one of these Thinkpad related keyboard (ideally both of these to give a comparative response).
Which of the following have you used?
How was the experience?
(Maybe point me to thread with peoples experiences)
If you've used several, which one do you prefer / recommend? Why?
At the moment I have a "slim" BTC 6200C desktop keyboard. It has laptop like scissor keyswitches, so I like it the slim notebook like profile.
The way I have positioned my 30" LCD I'd like to be able to keep the keyboard on my lap at times while on my chair and maybe on the desk at times.

ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint
A 2009 replacement for the previous one but not the full keyboard nor wireless:
Thinkpads:
T61 8892-02U: 14.1"SXGA+/2.2C2D/4G/XP|Adv Mini Dock|30" Gateway XHD3000 WQXGA via Dual-link DVI
X61T 7767-96U: 12.1"SXGA+/1.6C2D/3G/Vista|Ultrabase
W510 4319-2PU: 15.6"FHD/i7-720QM/4G/Win7Pro64 (for dad)
T43 1875-DLU: 14.1"XGA/1.7PM-740/1G/XP
Dell:
Inspiron 9300: 17"WUXGA/NVidiaGeForce6800/2.2PM/2G/XP (old)

I had the same issue - had to go to voice command for a few weeks (sucked) wore wrist gards to keep things netural.
Everything went away when I changed to a USB keyboard with the Ultra nav (I use the track point and disable the pad).
I've been working like that for 6+ years now... no issues.
(as a side note, sleeping with wrist guards on helped heal me the fastest. I had neoprine, with a metal plate in them - from a local drug store)

I have a PC and a need help to configure my external hard disk on my network. Thanks

I have a PC and a need help to configure my external hard disk on my network. Thanks

If you mean you wish to plug a USB drive into the Airport Extreme router (or TC not express) that is easy..
The disk must be formatted FAT32.. as if.. stay away from FAT .. or HFS+ ie Mac OS extended Journaled.
Format the disk on a Mac is best.. and even use GUID partition scheme not MBR.
The PC has no issue writing and reading files because this is a network drive.. The PC does not write to the drive.. it writes files to the Airport OS which writes and reads the disk and passes the info using standard windows SMB.. To the windows computer it will be a Windows NT server.. FAT32 setup.
If your setup is different.. to my hugely guessed assumptions.. give details.. always helps to have.. make and model.
Make and model of disk.. make and model of router.. how the setup will be done.. what windows OS you run.. etc etc.
As it stands your question could have nothing to do with apple at all.. other than you posted in a forum so I guess there is something apple in there somewhere.

Need HELP regarding installinfg CR2008/Visual Advantage

I need help regarding installing CR2008/Visual Advantage. I had the evaluation copy of cr2008. My compnay purchased the CR2008 Visual Advantage.

I did the unstall HOWEVER, when I try to install the CR2008 that we purchased, i get the following error..HR

Afeter i deleted the keys, I re-boot my pc and try to install the coftware again...BUT I GET THE SAME ERRORS...I have tryied this several times....what am i missing/not doing correctly

Hi Shamish
Actually you were on the right track, i think you just have to increase PSAPTEMP a bit and you will be fine. 358 MB seems just too small, i suggest you increase it to at least 2GB.
1. what will be the difference in use of PSAPUNDO and PSAPTEMP while copy is running. ( i.e. what will be entered in PSAPUNDO and what will be filled in PSAPTEMP.)
PSAPTEMP: is needed for large sort operations, as mentioned when you have a select with an ORDER BY clause, or if you do join two tables. During the client copy some sorting might be needed for special tables (cluster tables) where data is stored sorted.
PSAPUNDO: undo space is only needed for DML (data manipulation), if data is changed undo is generated. This obviously is heavily the case during a client copy.
2. the target client already has a copy taken 1 month before. so I think while importing it first delete existing data and then copies the new one.
So If I first delete the target client and then take import on it; will it have advantage in regards of getiing UNDO or TEMP segments getting filled ?
Deleting the client first might help for the undo problem, but you already solved that. I cannot imagine, it will help for the PSAPTEMP issue. As i said i would just increase PSAPTEMP and restart the copy.
One more add: if you are doing the client copy with parallel processes, this will influence your requirements on temp and undo space, because of the concurrently running processes.
Best regards
Michael

Need Help Regarding Enabling The Matrix

Hi All,
We have got one user form and we have got one choose from list and one matrix, on click of choose from list the value will be displayed in the text box and at the same time matrix should get enabled. But it;s not happening in our case. The value is coming in the text box through choose from list but matrix is not getting enabled. We are able to change the back ground color of the matrix, make first column invisible and all but not able to enable the matrix. We need help regarding this one.
Regards,
Jayanth

Hey first bind the columns of matrix to any user datasource
and then you can enter any thing into your matrix
following code may help
suppose you have one column
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("URFRM")
oUserDataSource = oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("URDSName",
SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT, 20)
oMatrix=oForm.Item("URMATRX")
oMatrix = oItem.Specific
oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
oColumn = oColumns.Item("URCOLName")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "URDSName")
oMatrix.Addrow()
hope this will help
additionally you can look at this sample

I need help regarding measurement of "time domain parameters of Heart rate variability" using labview.

I need help regarding measurement of "time domain parameters of Heart rate variability" using labview.
I am using Labview 8 ... I need to develop a software to accquire the ECG data (simulated enironment ) and compute the time domain parameters of Heart rate variability like "SDNN, SDANN...etc". Can some 1 plllzzzz help me out.Plzz help me if u can.Thanx in advance.

Hi Andy,
Thanx for responding. The input is from a text file. SDNN, SDANN,etc are the timedomain parameters of heart rate variability.
SDNN: the standard deviation of the NN or RR interval i.e. the square root of variance.
SDANN:the standard deviation of the averageNN interval calculated over short periods, usually 5 min,which is an estimate of the changes in heart rate due tocycles longer than 5 min
SDNN index, the meanof the 5-min standard deviation of the NN intervalcalculated over 24 h,
RMSSD: the square root ofthe mean squared differences of successive NN intervals
NN50: the number of interval differences of successiveNN intervals greater than 50 ms, and
pNN50 the proportionderived by dividing NN50 by the total numberof NN intervals.
The problem is dat I am a fresher to the world of Labview. I have jus recently started working on it. Can u please suggest me some some idea as soon as possible.
As i said I have the ECG data in the form of text files..I need to create sort of GUI to calculate the time domain parmeters....I need help urgently. Plzzz help me if u can. If u have and .vi example to calculate the RR interval plzz send it to me ASAP.
Thanku

Hey Seungly,
I've realized that my computer runs fine UNLESS I turn the AirPort on to connect to the Internet. The moment I click "Turn AirPort On," the "You need to restart your computer" screen immediately pops up. Is there any connection between AirPort and my problem?
That could very easily be the case, a bad Airport card. Look at this recent post:

Is this the senario that you are talking about?
