Need instructions for installing new "superdrive"

Just bought a superdrive, as recommended by folks here. It's a Pioneer DVR-116DBK and it came with generic instructions. But when I swing down the side door on my Mac, I'm clueless about what I need to do to get the old weird burner out and put the new one in.

Look at the video link on this page (last line G4 AGP) http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/installation.cfm
Here's the text from the G4 Service Manual
Step 1
1. From inside the chassis, behind the front panel, push the two bezel tabs forward to release the drive bezel from the front panel.
2. Disconnect the bezel from the hinges on the front left side and remove the bezel from the computer.
Step 2 Before you begin, do the following: • Open the side access panel. • Remove the CD-ROM/ DVD-ROM/DVD-RAM/Zip drive bezel.
Step 3
1. Remove the two screws on the drive carrier. (on front) Note: You remove the drive carrier from the computer with the drives attached to the carrier.
Step 4
2. From inside the chassis, push the drive carrier forward about 1 inch.
3. Disconnect the following cables from the back of the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or DVD-RAM drive: •power cable (P7) •IDE data cable •Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics): audio cable
4. Disconnect the following cables from the back of the Zip drive (if present): •power cable (P6) •IDE data cable
Step 5
5. Continue sliding the drive carrier out of the computer. Important: The drive carrier may be difficult to push forward due to the EMI gasket and tape located on the underside of the carrier (directly below the Zip drive).
6. When the carrier is out of the computer, remove the EMI shield from the back of the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or DVD-RAM drive.
Step 6
Note: Perform the following procedure if you are replacing the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, or Zip drive.
7. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the drive carrier mounting screws.
8. Slide the drive(s) out of the carrier. Replacement Note: The DVD-RAM drive is not as tall as the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. Before screwing the DVD-RAM drive back into the carrier, lift the back of the drive slightly so that the drive is flush against the carrier. Replacement Note: When inserting the drive carrier into the computer, make sure the carrier tab slides into the hole on the stationary drive shelf.
deeper, *don't post you Mac's serial number* (or email address). A forum moderator will remove it soon.
Good luck on the upgrade.
 Cheers, Tom

Need Instructions for installing AE card in dual G5 tower

I need instructions for installing a AE card in a dual 2 GHZ powermac G5. I understand I need to also install an external antenna. Since I do not have an antenna where is the best source for the antenna, apple or an outside vendor. My G5 is presently connected to a netgear router and I want to use the AE card to communicate with an airport express base station with airtunes connected to my stereo receiver. Would this create a conflict since my computer is connected to the netgear router. Any help would be appreciated.

You are going to need the t-shaped external aerial otherwise this is not going to work. Even though your PowerMac did not come with an Airport Extreme Card built in, it would have been supplied with the aerial.
You will need to find a replacement.

I am presuming that your Netgear is not wireless.
Can you connect the Airport Express to the router are do you want it in a different room?
You will be able to be connected to the router and AX at the same time, but in order to avoid internet and network issues, you should ensure that built-in-ethernet is above Airport in the network configurations.

Need instructions for downloading/installing Flash Player

Need instructions for downloading/installing Flash Player in my PC

Hi, This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall link:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
This is the Adobe Troubleshooting Guide which you may want also to review. I would suggest using the Manual Installers which you can download and SAVE to your Desktop. Pay attention to any apps using Flash, you may need to Disable any Anti-Virus. Be sure to use the Administrator Account and check Settings. Be sure to Reboot after running the Uninstaller and also after Installing.

I would like to upgrade my OS to the latest version. I now have 10.6.8 and my machine has 1Gb of memory. Need 2Gb for the new OS. Is is possible (and practical) to add memory to a machine that's five years old?

You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
You can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store witht a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
Here are instructions on replacing RAM in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://homeoffice.consumerelectronicsnet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=44404

Step by Step Instructions for Installing Self Signed Certificate using Certificate Modification Tool

I am looking for some step by step instructions for installing the self signed certificate from my Microsoft SBS 2003 server on a Treo 755p and 750p. In particular I need some help with the form of the actual certificate and how to use the Certificate Modification tool.
Some questions I have are as follows:
1. When I install the certificate on a Windows Mobile device I used an exported version of the certificate. This export is done using the DER x.509 format. Is that the same form I’ll need for the Palm? Do I need some other form? Can/should I just use sbscert.cer file that is generated when SBS is configured?
2. Does the self signed cert need to be installed on the computer being used to update the Palm or do we just need to be able to access the appropriate .CER file?
3. There are three things included in the PalmCertificatesTool.zip file:
                                Trusted CAs (folder)
                                Cert2pdb.exe
                                PalmCertificates.exe
   How do I use these tools?
4. It looks like the PalmCertificates.exe file opens an interface that will allow me to browse to the desired .CER file. Then I suppose I use the < Generate PDB > to create something that needs to then be uploaded to the Palm device? Not having any real experience with a Palm device how do I upload and install this file?
5. Once uploaded do I do something on the device to install it?
If there is some white paper that provides step by step instructions on doing this that would be great.
Thanks,
Walt Bell

Thanks for that.
I have one question after reading the article 43375:
The article has you "Turn of AutoSync" and then "Reset the device". It then indicates the device should be left idle.
The next step relates to running the PalmCertificates.exe, navigate to the certificate file and add it and then run the < Generate PDB > button. Should the device be connected to the computer during this process? If so, at what point after the reset do you connect it to the computer?
Thanks!

Basic instructions for installing Air?

Hi
I'm use Flash CS5, and want to learn Air.
I installed Air 2.5.
Do I need to istall the SDK? If so, where do I put it, and how do I set it up?
What is the difference between the runtime and sdk?
Thanks for your help.
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
Thanks for showing interest in AIR 2.5. To start, it sounds like you've installed the AIR 2.5 runtime, which by itself will let you install and run AIR applications on your computer. To start developing, you'll need to get the latest SDK. You can grab a copy of this for Flash CS5 here:
Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Extension for AIR 2.5
There are instructions for installing at the bottom of the page, along with a link to the beta forum. I'd also like to encourage you to check out the Adobe AIR Quick Starts for Flash Developers, the video tutorial series Designing an AIR Application, and the pdf Developing Adobe AIR 1.5 Applications With Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. While the video series and the pdf are a bit dated, they still contain great information and you can information on the latest 2.5 API's on our Adobe AIR Developer site.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Need instructions for setting up wireless network at home, w/o base station

I have a new iMac with Airport Extreme card and a MacBook, also with a card. I need instructions for connecting the two Macs via Airport. I do not have a base station. The Help on the Mac does not match my actual system.
All of the manuals that I can find are for the base station.
Please help.

Hi W
You don't mention if you have any kind of internet connection on either computer, so I'll assume that you don't, and this setup will simply network the two computers with no consideration of the internet.
On either of the computers, make sure that the Airport icon is visible in the menubar, and that Airport is active - check System Preferences, Network, Airport to make sure both are the case. Now, in the menu icon, click "Create Network". You'll be prompted to name the new network, set a channel if you need to, and you can also set a password under "Show Options". Once the network has been created, your Airport icon will change to a solid grey with a computer inside it.
You should now be able to connect to the new network on your other Mac and share services.
Let me know if you have any problems with it.
Matt

The answers are in the details, and you have not given us enough details to help you.
Right now I am guessing at what you seek. Are you trying to use your HP Touch Screen to do your
Premiere Elements importing, editing, and exporting and the Touch Screen movements are not working
to do what you want to do in Premiere Elements?
Have you configured the HP computer Touch Screen? Using the Touch Screen, what cannot you do
that you can do with the mouse?
HP Support document - HP Support Center
If I am guessing correctly here, does the mouse work instead of the Touch Screen to allow you to
work in the program.
I suspect that Premiere Elements does not support Touch Screen and you will end up using a mouse, but I would need to do more homework on
that.
This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. If you are dealing with the current version, 13, you might want to contact
Adobe about the matter. More on that later, once you confirm the above or let me know that I have completely
misinterpreted your question/concern.

http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l. I think this is the link. However, you will need to use the new S/N if you need to do the activation. The Activation server for AA 7 was taken down. I am not sure this link is complete, but it might give you some idea. However, on WIn7 and newer, AA7 has problems and will only work with some workarounds, and then kind of clunky.

Before you do surgery on your imac, go to applications, system preferences, displays, and see if you can adjust the brightness. My screen was significantly darker after I upgraded to 10.4.3 and I was able bring it back to life. For some reason the upgrade caused the brightness button to regress to 0 on a scale of one to ten- hope this works for you
