Need some advise and help Transferring files one mac to other

I have created quite a problem for my self and can not seem to get out of it.
I transferred my system from the G4 to the new Intel IMAC. Ended up with two accounts on the new Intel IMac. Was told to go to user/ and transfer files from one account to the other. Lost all of my files. Can not get the netscape back on with my bookmarks, Safari does not have any of my stored bookmarks, Quicken, Family Reunion are locked. Have done the permission repair. Still messed up.
To add to this, I than decided to retransfer from G4 to Intel IMAC, but can not establish a target disk using Firewire. Follow the instructions holding T down and the screen comes up saying to reboot or shut down, it will not go to the target mode. And it does not appear that the G4 has a firewire extension now, it did two days ago. Can any one help?

The Windows drive is probably formatted NTFS which is not natively writable
by the Mac. It should be formatted as FAT32 to be usable on both.

Needed some help transferring files from Mac to external hard drive

Hey guys, I just needed some urgent help.
My friend wanted some files to be transferred to his external hard drive from my Mac. As he is a Windows user, I guess his hard drive is formatted for Windows as well. As I plug in the hard disk in my Mac, I can't transfer the files. It says something like "the disk cannot be modified".
So, please help me on how can I transfer this files from my Mac and if I do format it to work with the Mac, will it work for Windows later?
Please help!
Cheers
Sam

I Need some assistant and HELP with my iPod Touch soon

I need HELP to reset my IPod Touch to where I had it when I was able to send emails. (can't send emails anymore from my iPod Touch)
I want to be able to sync and send my iPod Touch sent emails info. to my Computer email program, does anyone know how to do that?
PLEASE HELP ME AND REPLY if you can solve my problem ASAP.

Agreed! If you want help soon, call Apples paid support line. Now while you were waiting for us to slowly get around to answering you, you could have downloaded the manual for the ipod, so that you understood the function of the mail sync options in itunes. Mail sync only copies the settings needed to access your mail servers, from the mail client on your computer, over to the ipod touch. It does not copy any actual mail messages, and does not copy any settings from the ipod back to your mail program. The advanced section is meant to be used if you have messed up the settings on the ipod itself. It will ignore any changes to bookmarks, contacts, or mail settings depending on which you check, and will copy new information to the ipod. So in your case if you are able to access, and send mail correctly from the account on your mac, then clicking on the sync mail account button in itunes as well as the replace info on this ipod whatever in the advanced section should transfer over the correct mail account settings to your ipod.

Dear Friends,
I have two selects running something like this:
select <column-names> from <table-names> where <conditions>
union
select <column-names> from <table-names> where <conditions>.
there are three outer-join conditions in the first select and
three outer joins in the second like:
c=l(+)[in the first select]
d=m(+)
e=n(+)
and
f=l(+) [in the second select]
g=m(+)
h=n(+)
The result here generates 52 rows which is correct.
Now the case is that I am removing the union clause from the above SQL
and converting it like this.
select <column-names[1]>+<column-names[2]> from <table-names[1]>+<table-names[2]> where <conditions[1]>+<conditions[2]>
but i get the error:
same table cannot be outerjoined to two tables in the same query because i now have this
in the new query :
c=l(+)[from the first select]
d=m(+)
e=n(+)
f=l(+) [from the second select]
g=m(+)
h=n(+)
if I remove the join like:
c=l[from the first select]
d=m
e=n
f=l(+) [from the second select]
g=m(+)
h=n(+)
the query executes but results into 160 rows too much of unneeded redundancy, which is wrong.
My question is that:"Is there any way to do this? I mean to remove the union and combine the two selects into one without affecting the result of the Query which should be 52 rows only (while not affecting the joins I think this should also be the case)".
Need your suggestions.
Thanks,
Vishal

The union set operator performs a sort and deletes duplicates as a part of its definition.
If your revised query gives you the correct results only with duplicate rows then a select distinct may be all you need.
The cost of the sort and duplicate delete operation will affect your query performance but as the output result set is fairly small I do not think it will make much of a difference.

Open to answers... Not getting help from apple

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. If it does, remove the email accounts from mail and add them again.

I need some serious professional help with upgrading my MAC

Hello all here at Apple Discussion,
I have been wanting to upgrade my PowerMac G4 for quite sometime now. I just built two new advanced PCs for my Digital Art and Gaming, but I still need my Mac for all of the Video Editing, and Visual Effects I do. Here are my MACs specs:
PowerMAC G4
-400 Mhz Processor
-512MB Ram (All Slots are filled with mixxed 128MB sticks LOL)
-64MB ATI Video Card (Which I direly want to Upgrade)
-10GB Master Drive, 80GB File storage Drive
etc.
Bascially what I want to do with this machine is Upgrade the **** out of the Processor, Video Card, and buy four 256MB sticks so that my mobo will have the full 1GB it can handle. If someone can tell me in detail exactly what to do and where to go that would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Brandon Reddick

Howdy,
First off I say that you copy your 10GB hard drive to the 80GB by going to Disk Utility and selecting the 80GB hard drive. From there you will have tabs to choose from. Click on Restore. And drag the 10GB into source, and the 80GB into the other field. WARNING: YOU WILL HAVE TO DELETE THE WHOLE 80GB HARD DRIVE, SO I SUGGEST BACKING IT UP BEFORE THE RESTORE.
If you don't want the 10GB hard drive you can leave that in there select it in Disk Utility. From there go to the Erase tab and select the Erase Free Space button to secure that no one can get your personal information. WARNING: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THIS HARD DRIVE AGAIN IF YOU DO THIS. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE THROWING IT OUT!
Ok so you have an older version, I can tell by the CPU and HD.
Upgrades: CPU- http://daystar-store.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=281 (1.6 dual CPU)
Memory: If I'm right you need SDRAM... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=30200 6&CatId=145 (256mb SDRAM DIMM)
Hard Drive: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=12650 28 (Seagate 250GB Hard Drive)
Video Card: AGP- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=933&Nav= (Choose!)
PCI- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=1603&Nav = (Choose!)
Note: Your computer may not support a dual CPU, you can go to http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13551 to see if your computer is capable. If not Daystar sells a lot of single processors. Also you will need to buy an ATA-133 card so you can use a hard drive larger than 127.86GB. You can get that here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=28053 4&CatId=508
Or if you don't want to spend money on that card you can get an external casing for it. Easy to install and you can boot from it if it's FireWire. If you want to save video on it you'll have to format it to Mac OS Journaled.
Good luck with your expansion!

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

Can someone please help me... i'm about to buy a new macbook pro and i need some pros and cons of SSD

hi.. i'm about to buy a new macbook pro and i need some pros and cons of SSD.... i'm not sure which is really better, the regular hard drive or the SSD... because if i buy the mac with SSD it would be the 128GB, so i want to know how would that affect the overall performance of the computer...
Thanks!

I would suggest that you purchase the SSD through a third party source. You will save money that way.
Regarding the performance, go to the OWC web site. They have bench tested their SSD vs conventional HDD and have published the results for anyone to see,
The difference between the 128GB and the 256GB drives is capacity, no practical change to performance.
Ciao.

Need some advise

Hi All,
I need some advise from you JAVA gurus. Here is the situation:
Our Java development team developed an application running on Weblogic 8.1 SP3. The application is contained in the ear file....which is perfect. They now wanted to go live in about 3 months from now. We were discussing plans how to it live but running into a major show stopper.
Our Linux/Unix weblogic support group do not support/ allow running any singleton java processes except whatever is running as weblogic instances.
Application development has a requirement to run these 5-7 singleton small little java program (currently i do not know exactly what these small little java processes does).
We have proposed that the application team should own these processes and they have to run it outside of the BEA weblogic servers (i.e these singleton processes are not allowed to run on our common Unix machines running WLS8.1 sp3).
We have only ONE option:
1) Run these small little singleton java processes somewhere else that will be owned by application team.
Questions:
1) What are the problems that may arise if these singleton processes do not co-exist with where the application server runs (hosting the application ear file)?
2) Is there any other ways of circumventing this problem (any other ways based on your expertise) ?
3) Also, iam trying to understand these singleton processes, so what questions should i ask before i have a head to head discussions with the application team ?
[any watch list??]
Thanks for all your help.
Take care.

duffymo/others,
I was initially confused with the term "singleton" ...what i meant to say was "stand along java processes". So, there is nothing singleton but this application has few stand alone java processes that the Linux/Unix team do NOT want to run where the weblogic managed instances are running.
So, say my weblogic servers are running on Host A and Host B each having 3-3 each BEA weblogic managed instances CLUSTERED...then these stand alone java processes IS NOT ALLOWED to run there.
I hope this time i am much clearer .... :)
Iam sorry .... i was totally confused with this term called "singleton" as i incorrectly misinterpreted as stand alone java processes ....sorry about that again.

Help transferring files

whats the easiest and fastest way to transferring all my files from one mac thee other?

ALL MBPs have firewire ports or capability, which will be two times as fast as USB. To use firewire, you will need a firewire cable.
You can employ Migration assistant, Setup assistant or use Target disk mode.

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

I would like to know some fun and helpful Terminal commands.

Max,
if you’ve installed the Xcode compiler and its “command line tools” add-on, there’s a lot of text-mode games for which source code can be downloaded and compiled. Back in the Neolithic Age when I was at university, Empire was a multiplayer favorite (see here for one of its current offspring, which can run multiplayer over the Internet, and for which a text-mode client is still available), and Rogue was popular for when solitary play was the only available option.
