I've got a MacBook Pro 1TB HD, the drive was damaged (probably dropped) after I formatted the new drive I was able to get the OSi onto the drive and it's now up and running..But prior to removing the old HD I was able to run CloneZilla to map the drive. The problem I'm having is getting the files and documents back on the new HD.
I created a folder on the desk top and moved all the files and docs onto it, ( files / docs was originally burnt on a DVD ). I'm not sure A) how to open the specific files B) which files to extract C) Is it as simple as drag and drop...
Hope you're able to understand my problem and offer some suggestions, in advance thank you for your time and effort...Hi, Steve -
Yes, the CD-ROM drive must be jumpered as Master in order for it to be bootable.
Your G4 (PCI) should have two built-in IDE buses - one is usually assigned to the CD-ROM and Zip drives, and the other is used for hard drives. If you have the hard drive connected to the same bus as the one the CD-ROM is on, try switching the hard drive to the other bus.
Set the hard drive's jumpers as Master.
Exception - if the hard drive is a Western Digital, it may have a third position, Single, which must be used when the drive is the only device on the bus.
Note - Cable Select jumper settings will not work on a G4 (PCI).
Edit - -
Startup Manager, which is what booting with Option held down invokes, is not available on a G4 (PCI).
Article #106178 - Startup Manager: How to Select a Startup Volume
Firewire Target Disk Mode is limited on a G4 (PCI) - it can be the Host machine, but not the Target machine.
Article #58583 - Firewire Target Disk Mode
Relatedly, a G4 (PCI) can not boot to firewire drives, although it can use them for storage.

Hello
I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro, in setting it up for her, I took her Time Machine external drive to migrate onto the new machine but her old MBP not only was on 10.6, it was my old machine which I was still Administrator for.
i plugged in the external drive to start the migration process after entering her name and username from the old machine which gave me the options on transferring the old data over.
I also unchecked the Administrative end that had my info hoping that ONLY her data, files, etc., would be the ones sent over to her new machine which I wanted her to be the ONLY Administrator for. All went like clockwork until the restart.
Normally the screen should show the username and only need the password but both entries were blank, as in ‘Other’ sign in option available only. I entered her name and password, nothing….used her username and password, nothing. Used my old Administrator name and password, NOTHING!
I tried defaulting to factory settings from the Restore feature but it directs me to notify Apple. I tried in Terminal to change the password, nothing. I tried to boot from MY external drive and it doesn’t recognize it. I tried to even use my external drive which actually has the Mavericks upgrade, nothing!
Basically I can only get the startup screen which isn’t accepting the username/password or the Restore feature which doesn’t offer any options helpful!
Please, how do I start from scratch and start over here? Or simply change the Administrator name and password so I can proceed with everything thats already on there? I wish I could even boot from another drive but no luck on anything!First, on the old machine, make your wife's account an admin one. Log into it and delete yours. Then, update the TM backup. Finally, use Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, erase the HD, and restore the OS. One first boot, follow the steps outlined in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

Recently I was working on my home Network and lost myPassword for my Home wireless connection. After many attempts, I remembered thepassword and was able to get in. Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?
I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

I bought my Macbook Pro on 23rd July 2011 and was told that I was able to get the free upgrade to OS X Lion, and that it would automatically update when I register my Mac. I registered it when I first turned it all on, I then waited thinking that it might be in a system update package. This, however, never happened. Am I eligable for the free update, if so, how do I get it? I am currently running on the latest version of Snow Lepeord.

I had to purchase a new MacBook when my old one was stolen. We have two other MacBooks in the family that use the ITunes library. How do I get the full ITunes library on the new computer when I don't have access to the old computer?
If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

my ipod was stolen and i finnaly was able to get into my account after they changed the password is there a way i can fid the locaition of my ipod even if it has died ?
No. The only way is if the FindMyiPod feature was already set up and wifi is on. However, that can be defeted by turning the iPod off or restoring it. If they have access to the iPod then can just turn the feature off.
If the iPod off/battery drained how would you expect there t be a way of finding it?
Apple will not help. -
Why Is My iPhone 4 Struggling To Pick Up a Wifi Signal My Macbook Has No Problem Receiving?
I have both an iPhone 4 and a late 2009 Macbook. I work at an office just a few yards from the local hospital. The hospital has a public wifi that is definitely receivable, although weak in spots. But what I have noticed is that my iPhone 4 has a real hard time finding the signal and keeping it. I usually only get 2 bars max, out of the three on the signal graphic on the screen of the iPhone. It drops out often on the iPhone. However, when I connect with my Macbook, the connection is solid and it displays that I am getting a full signal. The signal doesn't drop on the Macbook. My question is why is there a difference between the iPhone and Macbook in picking up a wifi signal? Do iPhones not have as much sensitivity to pick up a weaker signal? Is there something I can do to the iPhone to enhance its reception?
They better huh?
I'm sure Apple is shaking in their boots.
No such problem with my iPhone which I connect with a number of wi-fi networks.
If the same problem with any other wi-fi network besides your own and no change after resetting network settings and/or after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
If the problem is with your wi-fi network only - no problem with any other wi-fi network besides your own, the problem is not with the iPhone. -
Recently i had to get a new computer. I was able to get itunes on the new computer and itunes did reconize my phone. BUT, it doesnt want to transfer the music from my phone to the computer? Can someone help, Please??
ThanksFile>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one. -
HOW I WAS ABLE TO GET ORACLE/LINUX RUNNING
Just like some (or should I say most) of you, it took me pains
(one week at that) to get 8i EE running on Linux.
Here is how I was able to get it up and running:
Environment:
* RedHat 6.0
* Linux kernel 2.2.12
* Blackdown JRE (not JDK) 1.1.6v5
* Mem: 128MB
Create the linux account 'oracle' and make the account a member
of the 'dba' group. The 8i docs contradicts itself saying that
'oracle' should be a member of the 'oinstall' group in one place,
but later on says that 'oracle' should be a member of the 'dba'
group in other places. (In the 8.0.5 installation, 'oracle' is a
member of the 'dba' group, so just follow this tradition).
I have 2 linux machines. Because the machine where I am
installing 8i has several other purposes, I ran X on another
machine and have the OUI display on that other machine, but the
OUI ran on the machine where I installed 8i.
From the host running X, I set "xhost +182.212.1.32" (this is
the IP address of the host where I am installing 8i), telnetted
to the host where 8i will be installed, logged in as 'oracle',
did a 'su', mounted the CDROM, exited from root (thereby going
back to the oracle account), did a "DISPLAY=182.212.1.200:0.0;
export DISPLAY", "cd /mnt/cdrom", and then did ran the installer
"./runInstaller".
If you did not make 'oracle' a member of 'dba', OUI will say "You
are not a member of the 'dba' group.... blah ...." and will ask
you the linux group for OSDBA and OSOPER.
If you DID make 'oracle' a member of the 'dba' group, you will
not get this prompt at all, and you will be asked to specify the
linux group that will be responsible for installing/upgrading
oracle. Specify the group 'oinstall' in this prompt. Basically,
this prompt will 'chgrp oinstall' the directory
'$ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory'.
Cotinue with the installation. You will be prompted to run a
script under the /tmp/oracle/oraInstroot.sh directory as root.
Continuing, I specifed a custom install. After almost completing
the installation, you will be prompted to run the 'root.sh' under
$ORACLE_HOME as root. Note that this script is not executable, so
either "chmod 744 root.sh;./root.sh" or "sh ./root.sh".
At this point, db config assistant will run, but gave me an
exception, something like "JNLSException: No character sets
found." This error was not fatal as it did allowed me to
continue. (Note that I tried setting ORA_NLS33 and NLS_LANG, but
I still had this exception. However, I have not tried downloading
i18n-1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.bz2 from blackdown. But I do not know
if that will help.). I did not continue with dbassist but exited,
and exited OUI. The reason was that, after telling dbassist to
save to scripts, it cannot even save the scripts!!
Now run dbassist again ("cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin; ./dbassit"). You
will again get the message "JNSLException: No characters found".
I specified an OLTP database. Later on, you will be asked if you
want to use shared server processes (MTS) or dedicated server
processes. At this point, specify dedicated server processes.
(Note: this is important. More on this later).
The SYSTEM datafile need not be initially 175MB. I had mine set
to 75MB.
When prompted if you want to create the db now or save to
scripts, specify save to scripts, and exit dbassist.
Now "cd $ORACLE_HOME/install". The main script (which is
sqlSID.sh --- replace SID with the value of ORACLE_SID), will
simply run other scripts.
Instead of running the main script, run each of the scripts
(that the main scripts was supposed to call) manually in the
order specified by the main scripts. This will help you later on
point out the specific script which may have problems.
The first script will start the instance and create the
database.
Run that first script.
Now here lies the importance of specifying "dedicated server
processes" instead of "shared server processes". If you specified
"dedicated server processes", the db should now be created, and
the script will exit without errors. If you specified "shared
server processes (MTS)", the instance will be mounted but you
will get the message "ORA-01012: not logged on". The db will
therefore not be created. I believe the following quote from the
docs (not included with the linux 8i EE CD, but included
witht he nt 8i EE CD) says it all:
=================================================================
===========
Restricted Operations of the Multi-Threaded Server
Certain administrative activities cannot be performed while
connected to a
dispatcher process, including shutting down or starting an
instance and
media recovery. An error message is issued if you attempt to
perform these
activities while connected to a dispatcher process.
These activities are typically performed when connected with
administrator
privileges. When you want to connect with administrator
privileges in a
system configured with multi-threaded servers, you must state in
your connect
string that you want to use a dedicated server process
(SRVR=DEDICATED) instead of a dispatcher process.
Additional Information:
See your Oracle operating-system-specific
documentation or the Net8
Administrator's Guide for the proper connect
string syntax.
=================================================================
=========
From the above, you should be able to create a db using "shared
server processes (MTS)" from scratch (instead of creating a db
using "dedicated server process" and then later on changing to
MTS), by modifying your tnsnames.ora file. However, I have not
done this.
Now run the remaining scripts that the main script was supposed
to call. The only other problem I had with the scripts was the
last script (the one with SIDjava.sh). I had a problem with the
redo logs, and I got an "end of communication error" in the
middle of the execution of the last script. I have to run this
last script twice to make sure it worked.
I believe the reason for the problem with the last script was
related to what I found out later on, that all the rollback
segments were OFFLINE (except that rbs in SYSTEM)!!!
So probably it is best that, after running the first script, take
the rollback segments online, before continuing with the other
scripts.
After running the scripts and the database created, I then
applied te 8.1.5.0.1 patch, shutting down the database first.
(Run svrmgrl, connect internal, shutdown;)
However, after applying the patch, and starting the database
again, I still get 8.1.5.0.0 and not 8.1.5.0.1 when loggin
in using sqlplus or svrmgrl. Maybe the patch should be applied
first BEFORE creating the db???
Okay, now I have it running for 3 days now. However, I get this
error in my alert files:
OER 536879337 in Load Indicator : Error Code = 570716328 !
... when the instance is mounted, and
Load Indicator not supported by OS
.... several times.
I have not been able to solve these remaining issues.

Was able to get infinity but now can't?
Hi
I have been checking the BT website for a while now since Sky bought O2 (my current provider). It has always confirmed that I was able to get Infinity 2. Even last week when I almost completed the order but cancelled at the final step as I had only just received my MAC code (and apparently I could not use it for seven days otherwise I would be charged). It was all good news you can get Infiinity 2.
But now, went to order tonight and now I cannot get it. The openreach website shows all the surrounding exchanges are accepting orders. My neighbour (two doors away) who is an openreach engineer has confirmed that he has it and that both our telephone lines share the same cabinet. Thanks to my neighbour I know that my cabinet has been upgraded. I can even follow both our telephone lines to the same cabinet (we still have telegraph poles) and the cabinet is 50 metres away. So what has happened?
Sabotage by Sky (joking) or just bad planning from BT and too many people signed up for BT Sports??
Trouble is it now means that I am severely tempted by the offer that Sky is trying to intice me with of free broadband and Sky Entertainment plus for a year but it means that I will have to transfer my phone to them and I am just not keen on moving wholesale to Sky.
Just to confirm that my telephone line has always been with BT and has never been transferred to another service provdier.
I am in Eastbourne - BN22 8.
ThanksI'm afraid it probably means that the cabinet has reached its capacity for FTTC users. If lots more people want it they may and extra capacity but not for some time.
Probably worth trying every few days for a bit in case there was a mistake, or someone cancels.
You could also see what happens if you try an order with PlusNet or similar. You'll probably get the same result; all the FTTC ISP's share the BT Openreach cabient resources; first come first served. -
Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds. I have used itunes to restore and also recover. Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer. The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not. Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged. Any thoughts?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself. -
My iPhone 4s is dark, this is the second time. The first time I was able to get it back up and running by plugging it into my PC. However this time it has been plugged in for an hour or more and nothing. There was still at least 70% charge left on it when it went dead. I have pressed the sleep and start button separately and together. It said that I did not have much space left this morning so I deleted Apps and photos but there was still space. Just two days ago it was losing power even though it still 55% charge left so I plugged it in and it seemed to gain power. Any suggestions on the problem?
Sounds like faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for quick (minutes) free battery diagnostic testing. If you have Warranty or AppleCare the problem will be covered.
