Need help with emac restoration

I bought an eMac in a garage sale. It came with Tiger installed in it. I am completely new to Mac OS's. In the effort of trying to upgrade it to Leopard, I think I erased the hard disk(MacHD). After that it immediately restarted and got stuck on the apple logo screen with a spinning wheel below it. Now I didn't get a CD/DVD when I bought it. And with the help of my friend now I have a leopard image in a hard disk.( I have a 250gb hard drive, about 180 is partitioned with fat32 filesystem, and the other 60gb has the leopard image). I restored the leopard .dmg into the partition using the disk utility application with the help of his mac book. So can anyone help me on how I need to proceed.

Nope, boot the MBP using he t key, boot the eMac holding Option or alt, this should make the
OK, booted the last way,
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
highlight the eMac's Hard Drive in Disk Utility, click the blue Info icon, what Format is it?

Need help with the restore-mailbox command

I just started playing around with the restore-mailbox command now that the Recovery Storage Group and exmerge are not options in 2010. I am hoping someone can help me out here. I am working in a test environment. What I did was backup a database with a
single mailbox on it called testex2010. I used Windows backup. I then restored the database and logs, created the recovery database using the shell and was able to mount the database after running eseutil /R etc...
I now want to recover the data in the mailbox testex2010 to another mailbox called Recovery Mailbox in the production database. I was able to successfully restore testex2010 to itself. I proved this by deleting all the messages in the live database,
running the restore command and seeing the messages back in the live mailbox.
The command I used was restore-mailbox -identity testex2010 -RecoveryDatabase RDB1
I am prompted with the "are you sure" text and after hitting yes, all goes well. I now want to restore to another mailbox in the production database called Recovery Mailbox. This is where it breaks down. No matter how I format the command, I cannot get it
to work. Two questions:
1) should I be able to see mailboxes in the Recovery Database using the GUI or the Shell or do you just assume they are there?
2) what is the command to restore messages from a mailbox in the Recovery Database to another mailbox in the production environment?
Is what I am trying even possible? Just so you know, I did try this command"
Restore-mailbox -identity testex2010 -RecoveryDatabase RDB1 -RecoveryMailbox "Recovery Mailbox" -TargetFolder testex2010
It fails telling me that the mailbox Recovery mailbox is not in the Recovery Database.

Restore-mailbox -identity testex2010 -RecoveryDatabase RDB1 -RecoveryMailbox "Recovery Mailbox" -TargetFolder testex2010
The wording of the
Restore-Mailbox command can be tricky. If I look at your example above, this is what it would attempt to do...
Restore the content of the mailbox with display name "Recovery Mailbox" in the RDB into the mailbox testex2010 under a folder named testex2010.
Think of the -Identity parameter as the mailbox you want to restore INTO.
Think of the -RecoveryMailbox parameter as "Recoverying The Mailbox of..."
Also get into the habit of using the DisplayName with -RecoveryMailbox.

New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN

Hello everyone,
I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Pete

The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
rman target /
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
rman>restore controlfile from 'autobackup_location';
rman>alter database mount;
3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
   rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
   4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
   rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
   If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation.

Is it just me..or lots of unanswered posts? need help with sync/restore...

nearly lost everything off my iPhone, due to a computer problem which holds primary iTunes library...I believe I'm finally having success right now in restoring.....
But just in case......
my question is whether I can connect my iPhone to a second computer which has a separate library, and let it back up in iTunes on that computer......
if I do this routinely, and if the primary computer dies on me, I'd still have the option to restore from computer#2,,,, correct? and not lose all my current data on the iPhone...... correct?
thanks.

From your post it would seem that your iTunes Library files (or rather backups of them) are on your external drives. This is the most important thing from the point of preserving your library if you should need to rebuild the computer. What is not so clear is if the files that iTunes opens each time you use it are the ones on the external drive or a set of internal copies. One way of checking is to run the script iTunesXMLPath which tells you which .xml file iTunes is updating, and therefore the folder containing the other active library files. If this folder is the parent folder of the *iTunes Media* folder, (See *Edit > Preferences > Advanced* tab) then the library is portable and can survive being moved or having the drive letter changed.
If you are currently using the "internal" copy of the library files then, having updated the copy on your primary "external" drive, you can switch the active library by clicking on the icon to start iTunes and immediately pressing & holding down the shift key until asked to *Create or choose a library*. Click choose and navigate to the folder on the external drive. Check everything works properly.
SyncToy would be ideal for you to manage keeping the two external copies of the library updated. The first time you run it a wizard navigates you through the task of choosing two folders to pair up. It can be used for any general folder mirroring backup so you can easily create other folder pairs to take care of your downloads, documents, email stores etc.
Once you've confirmed that your library is running from the external drive then you can rebuild your Windows installation, install iTunes and use the SHIFT-start-iTunes method to open the library on the external.
What virus do you think you have? If it's one of those "Your computer is infested with 123 different suspect files, click here to give us some money to clean it for you!" types then http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix may be a good place to start, assuming of course that the URL-redirection element of the virus lets you get to the correct site.

Need help with eMac NOW!!!

I accidently put the Mac folder (forget what it is called, basically the OS) into the trash, and now when I boot it it just goes to a grey screen and says weird things. Even when I put in the Mac OS X install disc and hold "c". Someone please help me.

1) Borrow a friend's Mac laptop (with firewire) and a firewire 6pin-6pin cable, and put the eMac into target disk mode, so that you can then mount it on the other computer, and get the System out of the trash.
2) Remove the hard drive, after opening the eMac up and avoiding the dangerous currents, fragile power button, etc, and put it in an external case, plug into another Mac, and get the System out of the trash.
3) Buy/Borrow Tiger on CD... and instal a new system. Once installed, restart the eMac, then drag the System out of the trash... (though the Tiger instal program may kill the existing system even tho it is in the trash?...)

Need help with EMAC

My Emac screen freezes after a while and the only thing i can do is move the mouse. Nothing else happens i have to shut the computer down. Could this be a Capacitor Problem? Any help would be Appriecated.
<Edited by Moderator>

Dave,
As dolbinau has pointed out, gauging by your serial number, your eMac may be affected by bad capacitors; a problem that Apple recognised a while ago, and set up a Repair Program to fix - free of charge.
dolbinau's confusion over the symptoms of the capacitor problem is Apple's fault. The main symptom on eMacs with bad caps is that the computer will freeze, for no apparent reason, and cannot be "unfrozen" without pressing the power button and turning the computer off.
Apple for some reason did not include this symptom in the Repair Program's notes.
Anyway - because your eMac falls in the right range, you should contact Apple NOW to talk to them about it. Technically the Repair Program has expired (3 years from the date of the computer's purchase), however if you push (ie ask to speak to a supervisor) then they should agree to repair it for free.

Need Help with my Imessage

i need help with my imessage i am using a Iphone 4 ios 6.1.3 but when i go to settings>message>send and reecieve. i only get the options Apple ID: and You can be reached by iMessage at: my current email and add another email. my question is how do i get it to where imessage uses my cell phone number instead of my Email i have looked all over the web and no luck......

The hidden text should be sent for you automatically by the phone. From personal experience, this is automatic, but something has obviously tripped up somewhere on your phone.
It appears from reading the documentation, I would first try signing out of your Apple ID by going to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive then press your Apple ID, and press Sign Out. Then sign back in. This should hopefully trigger a re-activation of your mobile number. Your mobile number should be assigned to your Apple ID on first sign-in so hopefully this signing in and out should trigger an automatic re-activation.
Failing that, others have posted a reset of the phone, as does the support page I quoted. It appears this could be a last resort as a reset can be a bit of a pain (although if you Back your phone up via iTunes, you should be able to restore it to how it is currently). I would try the signing in and out method. Hopefully, fingers crossed, it should kick your phone back into action.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online. It is not possible to uninstall it. Do you mean the iTunes application? Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too. You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

HT201318 Need help with being double charged on my icloud account when purchasing extra storage for my ipad

Need help with being double charged on my icloud account when purchasing extra storage for my ipad?

I had this same problem on my 4S. I fixed it by restoring the phone to factory defaults. Previously, I had taken the additional step of restoring from backup but, as soon as I did, the problem returned. The fix is a hassle as I now have to reinstall my apps but at least I can manage mail on the phone.
The problem also occurred on my iPad2 but I'm not restoring it as it's a serious hassle (see above) and I don't actually read much mail on the device.
As a side note, I noticed incredibly high load averages (5+ processes for 1, 5, and 15 minutes; 12+ for 1 and 5 minutes at one point) as well as CPU usage that didn't drop below 15% (apparently all user processes, system seemed to be about normal). As could be expected, this also lead to incredibly rapid battery depletion.
I can't tell what processes were hogging the CPU as neither of my devices are jailbroken and Apple doesn't seem to like 'top' much.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")

Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...
