Powerbook G3 Needs Some Kind of USB-type backup

(Please understand I have NO idea about computers, except that I like them and use them.) I have a wonderful old Wallstreet II, it has OS 9.2, it works well, and it is essentially Naked. No backup drive, no CD burner, nothing. I do not want to connect it to the internet. I do want to preserve my files.
I need to know what to use in order to "convert" the PCMCIA into a USB port. I'd like to back my files up to a USB stick if that's even possible. I'm looking for a very simple and hopefully inexpensive solution.
I do have a notebook card, but it turns out it is not compatible with this operating system. Also I can't seem to find out if USB sticks will just work with an old Mac. There's all kinds of info on using notebook cards to enhance speed, to plug in to printers (I'd be interested in that too), to connect things to video cameras, etc. I just need basic, hard drive backup to protect my work. That's it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

You can use a PCMCIA USB card to get USB capability. You may need to reinstall OS 9.2 with the card installed to make sure the USB system files get installed. I did this on my Wallstreet. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2370293&tstart=25
 Cheers, Tom

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work! First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 15 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that didn't work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
If that still didn't get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
A bad internal PRAM battery can also cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
Here's another Fw Faq.

HT3180 I turned on my apple tv and there before me on the screen was a picture of the apple tv with the micro usb and power lead in with the usb side pointing to the blue itunes logo! I think its telling me that it needs some kind of update ! help

I have tried reseting it through itunes ! But it does not recognise the apple tv and the itunes hasnt got any apple tv tabs? help

It is telling you to restore by connecting to iTunes. Did you follow the steps exactly?
Unplug all cables, then connect micro usb. Make sure to connect directly to the computer and not a leyboard port or USB hub.

I need some suggestions on what type of dock to buy for my iPod Touch 4 that would be combatable with it.

I use to have a JBL dock for my iPod Touch 4 but it no longer works with it. I seem to be having some problems finding a dock that would work with a iPod Touch 4. All I want is a good dock with stereo sound and that is chargable and would also have an adaptor so I won't have to use batteries but one with batteries will do if that's all I can find. I don't need one that has a radio and a clock with it. One that probably doesn't go over 100.00. Would like some suggestions from anyone please? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I have finally found a definitive answer on the Microsoft website (after a few days of virtual digging).

And I quote for the benefit of everyone else looking for the same answers:
"While RDS is shipped with Windows Server software, it is licensed separately through a Client Access License (CAL) model. This means that each accessing end point (i.e., a User or a Device) must be covered by an RDS license to access Microsoft VDI infrastructure.
And this CAL is an additive CAL, which means that in addition to a Windows Server CAL, customers must acquire a Windows Server RDS CAL for each user or device that:
- Directly or indirectly accesses any of the RDS product functionality, and/or
- Directly or indirectly interacts with the graphical user interface of the server software using RDS functionality or other third-party technology
For example, to access RDS functionality in Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 CALs and Windows Server 2012 RDS CALs are required along with the server software licenses."

Need some info about screen type for Satellite C50

Hi,
Was wondering if someone could help clear up what the situation is regarding matte and glossy screens on the C50 series. Ideally which particular model numbers mean I would get a matte screen ? and also ideally from Amazon UK as an example in terms of product links.

What you need is an 15.6 wide screen (13.6" x 7.6") display with an 40 pin LED socket
The part number isnt known to me and I think that such info would not be very useful since the part numbers are Toshiba internal part numbers.
If you want to purchase an display from independent dealer, search in google for SATELLITE C50-A 15.6 wide screen matte
I found some online dealers providing such part but dont want to post the link since I dont want to make an promotion.
However, you can also get all compatible parts from local Toshiba authorized service providers

Need some kind of Analytical Function

Hi Oracle experts
I need a little help from you experts. I have a PARTY table as listed below
The existing data
Party key     ID_INTERNAL     EID          BID
1          11111          123
1          11111          321
1          22222          321          899
1          66666          ------          888
New records comes
I have to assign a party key to each record based on which attribute is matching
Now the situation is as new records comes.
New records comes
ID_INTERNAL     EID          BID
22222          555
44444          555
89898          ------          888
If I match on ID_INTERNAL I may not be able to match ID_INTERNAL 44444 and 89898 and if I match EID or BID the same situation.
Is thera any analytical function which helps me assigning a party key to all the recoords. ALl the above records should be assigned PARTY KEY 1 only.
Please help
Thanks

My main goal is to assign a party key from existing set of records to the new records which are being selected/inserted. I have to write my algoritum in such a way that the new values should match their value in existing records.
Example
my first new record has a value of 11111 under ID_INTERNAL and in the same record it has a value of 555 under EID attribute. so based on matching algoritum for ID INTERNAL it will be assigned existing party key 1.
Similarly second new record has a value of 87777 under ID INTERNAL and has a value of 555 under EID and this ID INTERNAL does not exists in the target table. but the value of 555 is available under EID attribute so I have to write algoritum based on EID.
Now the delima is my target table is as follows
Party key PARTYID PARTYNAME
1 11111 ITSID
1 123 EID
1 321 EID
Now when new records come I have to write match algortium for ID_INTERNAL to PARTYID for Partyname='ITSID'
Once matched this record ID INTERNAL=11111 and EID =555 assigned a party key=1. So after first record the output table slooks like
Party key PARTYID PARTYNAME
1 11111 ITSID
1 123 EID
1 321 EID
1 555 EID
Same way for second new record where the values are ID_INTERNAL=87777 and EID=555. I have to write match algortium based on EID because the EID value of 555 already exists in target tabel with party key.
SO after second record the target table will look like
Party key PARTYID PARTYNAME
1 11111 ITSID
1 123 EID
1 321 EID
1 555 EID
1 87777 ITSID
So this is how I have to solve this match algoritum.
Please help me if you need any information I will be glad to provide you all.
Thanks

Need Some Help with Specific Type of Installation

My MacBook Pro has been acting slow and I have been experiencing slow loading and the getting the pinwheel on many sites. I would like to reload Leopard but without losing anything. Is it possible? I dont want to wipe the computer, but I feel that it is in need of a cleanup. Also, is it possible that my computer could have contracted a virus from bittorrents? TIA

Looking for some kind of Docking Bar...

I am not exactly sure what to call the item I am looking for, I can only describe it. I need some kind of small bar to just keep all my coords and wires plugged in at home at my desk so that when i come home I can just slap the bar on the side of my macbook pro and be done with it.
I know many are going to say to just stop being lazy and plug them in but my roommate has a computer on the same desk and its a pain in the butt fishing for all my wires every time I come home. I also don't have the room nor the money to afford a full docking station.
Thanks for your advice

[Off topic] Need some hints where to start

Hi,
I've been out of C++ for around 9 years. (Doing java since then)
For an upcoming project I have to get back into it.
I've already done quite much execise with STL, boost and ICU.
Now I'm looking for a solution for the following problem:
I need some kind of RessourceManager, which is able to suspend
some threads and dump their memory to disk. It must maintain
dependencies between ressources and should be as transparanet
as possible to the rest of the source code. It should have some config
options like amount of memory to use, etc.
I think a starting point would be an Allocator which is connected to
a ResourceManager.
Is there any standard way, which I haven't found, to do this?
Greetings,
Markus
P.S.: Can someone point me which is the right mailing
list for this kind of questions?

A good resource for general C++ programming questions like yours is newsgroup

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.
i have just purchased it before a couple of days a go.

I just installed a Mac Pro for a client. After a while I noticed this buzzing everyones talking about. It was especially bad after I installed two more internal drives. It seemed to come and go with HD activity. I pulled up the lever on the back of the machine when it was particularly loud and the buzzing went away. So like some others have noticed it's associated with the HD bays. I took the side off and adjusted the seating of the drives so they were exactly centered Now the buzzing is gone. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it will need some kind of silicone bumpers where the bay trays are metal to metal.
More research to come.

Peter,
does Pages v4 (09) work on a G4 chip? I think I've updated this old Mac iBook as far as it will go. In other words will I need to buy a newer laptop to get the Pages 09 to work and ouput to an eBook? Thanks. Richard

I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

It can be done with analog but not digital thanks to "good 'ol" HDCP copy protection which apple (and most other manufacturers) unfortunately respect.
So you can take the analog output from your cable box (component -- 5 cables -- if it has it but generally they all have composite -- 3 cables) and feed it into some kind of converter or into some appropriate pci card for your mac pro. But none of them are going to let you directly use the HDMI output from the box to your computer.
Bottom line, no single cord is going to work and it will never be the higher quality digital picture you get on your tv.
Some qualification: There are boxes that I think support hdmi input. Look at Blackmagic. But I still don't think you can get around the HDCP from the cable box (might depend on the kind of cable box).

Hi! I got movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? need some help please!!

Hi! I got Movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? When I start playing the movie a message pops up and says "a required codec is not available". I tried flip4mac, xvid, divx already and still not playing my video. need some help please!! thanks.

Although vlc mentioned above is a much more powerful and better player you could try installing Perian if you insist on using the quicktime player. It may supply the codec it needs.
Not sure why you wouldn't be able to play straight avi files though in quicktime.
