Reverting to G4 whilst imac in for repair - and questions

My intel Imac is having to go in for diagnostic work. So, I'm having to use the trusty old G4 in the meantime. My question is this: I have a cloned system of the intel mac on an external HD, but that is a cloned system of Leopard. So I won't be able to boot onto that from the G4 which is on 10.4.11 - is that right? I'm a bit unsure as to how it works when you log into an external drive.
My G4 has a tiny internal HD of only 35GB, so I was finding it hard to make large pdfs which I have to do for work sometimes, is there any way round that? ie can I save anything i'm pdfing to the external HD, which is 1TB so plenty of space there. All the images (which are large) are stored and I can access on the external HD.
I'm just trying to work all this out in my mind before I take the big mac in which will probably be tomorrow, hope it won't be gone long but you never can tell. Any input will be gladly received.
Cheers, Kate

It would really be a matter of exporting the database rather than the whole application. I don't use either so I am not sure on the details. It will also depend upon how much change may have been made between the two OS versions. Sometimes the main changes are to the applications themselves and not the databases, in which case it works. If the Leopard version has changed how the database is formatted then the earlier OS can't use it.

I sent my iphone in for repair and the status was canceled repair request.

I sent my iphone 3GS in for repair and when I checked on the status of the repair, it said repair request canceled. Does this mean it has been fixed and on its way back or they are sending a new one back? I am confused.

Ah ,so you are in Europe ( helps to tell upfront as this is a WW forum )
They will not repair your iPhone they will check it and assuming no user induced damage will send back a replacement refurbished unit to you ( reason for no accessories )
There must be a contact number where you arranged the return
It is possibly going to Eire where Apple seems to ship most EU shipments from

I was using my wife's MacAir while my Macbook was in for repairs and now all of my printers want to do through her Macbook Air and unless it is on and on our home wireless, I can't print. Is there an easy "fix" for this?

The warranty is not international and only available in the Country of purchase .If the iPhone is out of warranty Apple or their Agents will also only give service in the country of original purchase.
So if you want Apple help you will have to return it to Singapore or find a 3rd party to repair it if they can in India as long as it is out of warranty and you understand that Apple would never help with that device in future if it has been opened by a 3rd party

I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?

You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

TS4036 I recently had to send my iphone off for repair and when it came back they had restored it t factory settings. Is there any way I can get my music and photos back from icloud ??

I recently had to send my iphone off for repair and when I have got it back it has been reset to factory settings. Can I get my phonos,music etc back through icoulds ?

If your backup is incomplete you won't be able to use it. Do you have any backups on your computer? (You can check by opening iTunes and going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices on a PC). That will list any available backups on your computer.

It means you will get a refurbished iPhone in exchange for the faulty one you sent in.

My brother purchased new ipad 4, 5 days ago and the sim tray stuck very first day. I gave it to jaipur service centre for repair and they are asking for 20000 Rs (price of ipad mini for just sim tray repair). What should i do?

Dear All,
My brother just purchased an ipad4, 5 days ago and the very first day sim tray stuck. When i sent it to jaipur (rajasthan) service centre, they asked Rs 20,000 for repair and issuing new tray. This is the cost of new ipad mini, and they are giving me just one tray. It is also approx. half of the price of new ipad4. Even the new ipad is just 5 days old and should be repaired for free. If not free, is Rs 20,000 is fair?
Please tell me what should i do?
Thanks!
[email protected]

If the service center determined that the SIM socket was damaged by your brother, as would appear to be the case, and not due to a factory defect, they will charge for replacing the entire iPad, not just for the SIM tray. Apple at this time replaces the iPad for just about any problem, and charges a flat fee for doing so.
If this service center is one authorized by Apple, your brother can try calling Apple Support India at (91) 1800 4250 744 and discussing the situation with them. Ultimately, though, it is the technician's judgement as to what caused the problem, and Apple will usually take the word of the technician when it comes to determination of user-caused damage.

HT5622 I sent my Mac Pro Air for repairs and for some reason my user and group password was changed to Apple and I can't figure out what the password is -.help please.

Sent my Mac Pro Air for repairs and when it came back I had to download many programs. Dowloaded the OS X Mavericks but now it tells me I need an application to install it in my computer. Which application do I need? Checked the App store but am new at this and have no clue.

Did they also restore your original user account? Log out of Apple and see if yours is there to log in to.
You'll need to post the actual error message, not what you think it said. I don't think I've ever seen an error that said I needed an application to install anything on my Mac.

Hi,
SAP doesn't provide any option for creating Gate Pass (Returnable & Non-Returnable) in standard.
Returnable Gate Pass: -
1. MM01 - Create Material Master for every Spare Part / Machinery to be sent to Vendor for Repair as Non-Valuated (Material Type "UNBW") (Do not extend Accounting and Costing views since you don't require postings of Stock value and consumption values, you only want to track the Service/Repair Charges)
2. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511)
3. ME21N - Create Subcontracting PO (Here Main Material and Component will be same material)
4. MB1B - Transfer Posting w.r.t. Subcon PO (Mvmt Type - 541, Spare Part stock will get posted to Vendor Stock)
5. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
6. MIGO - GR against Subcon PO (101 - Receive Spare Part, 543 O - Consumption of Spare Part form Vendor Stock)
7. MIRO - LIV for Service Charges w.r.t. Subcon PO
Non-Returnable Gate Pass: -
1. MIGO - Goods Receipt > Others (Receive the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511)
2. MIGO - Goods Issue > Others (Issue the quantities of these materials using Movement Type 501 / 511)
3. MB90 - Take Print out of this Material Doc as Non-Returnable Gate Pass (U need to configure Message Determination of Inventory Mgmt)
Note: - If Client is not satisfied with this then you need to go for development of Gate Pass System.

Mm issue:-how to deal with gds sent for repairs and again issued for consm

The main problem is that if something come for repairing it increase the stock for one period and decrease the R and M for that period. And when after 4 months when goods are received after repairing it disturbs the R and M expense in another period. And this also disturbs the valuation of the material.
Any one can suggest how to deal with the repairs done to materials without affecting the valuation price of original material.
my points is how everyone in india is dealing with goods sent for repairs outside their company.
what all entries are generated from first receipt of goods in company till good sent for consumption after received from vendor who repaired the goods.
all a/c and mm entries

what we have decided that we would have 2 valuation type
1. sap-domestic :- normal stock
2. sap-use/repair :- repaired items.
All the goods should be received using sap-domestic valuation. from here goods are sent to shop floor. when ever repair is required goods are received in stock thru sap-use-repair at value zero and not moving price specific to sap-use/repair valuation.
so till goods that require repair and that already repaired are kept in stock, they are kept at 2 different values one is zero and other is moving price specific to valuation type sap-use/repair.
now goods are sent for repair at zero value but when these goods are received after repair then value of repair will affect the moving price of valution sap-use/rep.
so this will solve our problem that goods should be received from shop floor to stock for repair at value zero.
how can we achieve this that goods received from shop floor to stock for repair is received at zero value and not moving price specific to valuation sap-use/rep. where we will have do setting in this vaution type or wherever required.
pls send some suggestions on it

My iphone 5 was sent for repair and all my photos where cleared from the device. Is there anyway to retrieve these back?

So my iphone 5 had water damage, I sent my phone for repair backed up all my photos onto my lap top. Somehow my laptop got cleared of my photos and when my I phone was returned to me it had been cleared of all data as I was told. I was wondering if anyone new a way of getting these back through icloud or backup? They are all my baby photos of my daughter and I would be so happy if I could get them back! any help much apreciated.

Photos in photo stream...
You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
Photos in the camera roll...
If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

New iMac suitable for FCP and/or Avid?

Hi all,
I'm a digital filmmaking student currently using FCP on my MBP (whilst minding my Ps and Qs, OK? LOL).
Next month we'll be learning Avid - no idea if I'll end up buying a copy of that, but it's quite possible.
I'm planning on buying a 24" iMac to also use for video editing, and most likely some music production using Logic Express as well.
I know the iMacs aren't considered "Pro" machines, but I really don't want a Mac Pro (for reasons of space, $$$, etc.).
I don't mind having to wait a bit longer for rendering, etc., but are there any other drawbacks to getting an iMac for this purpose? i.e. issues with the video card or anything...
Also, considering how I'll be using it, would it be worth the extra $500 to get the 2.8 GHz processor? Will there be a very noticeable difference?
TIA for your opinions-
-Dennis

Any of the new iMacs would be fine for FCP or Avid. FCP ran fine on Core Duo machines with a lot less horsepower than the new iMac. Nobody knows how much more powerful the new Core2Extreme is than the 2.4GHz Core2Duo in the base 24" configuration, because Intel hasn't made it generally available yet. If I were you, I'd buy the regular 24" iMac and buy some third party RAM to upgrade to 4GB (should set you back under $200), and get a large external Firewire/USB2 hard drive or two.

Sent My Laptop in for Repairs and got my Password Reset but don't know what it is

So, I had to have my laptop sent in to a locale (well, about 100 miles away) repair shop, and they seemed to of reset my profile password, and I have no idea what it is. I've tried e-mailing them, but they aren't replying. Calling them would be pointless because they are Middle Eastern and can not be understood. I'd hate to have to go back all the way to the store and try to understand what the heck they are saying when there is an easier way to get this fixed up.
EDIT: This is not the BIOS password, it's the password to my profile on my laptop. It's the only profile on my laptop, but it's not the Admin account for some reason, there is no Admin account, and I have no idea why. I tried using ophcrack with no luck.
I even bought Windows Password Key, but when I try it, it starts the program, then the laptop just restarts by itself. Security measure, perhaps?

simplest..... google for "linux boot windows password reset" ... take the first link to howtogeek.com ... it has a disc image and instructions on resetting a windows password.

My ipone 5c screen broke what is best place for repair and cost?

My iphone 5c has a broken screen, where can I get it replaced and the price for that?

I guess as I haven't had a lot of issues with previous phones (only had to have a phone looked at for a hardware issue once), I'm trying to gauge whether the risk is worth it or not, which is why I posed the question here. What's the likelihood of something happening to my phone's hardware? But then how to I justify the higher price for getting it repaired by an Apple licensed service provider?
I know you guys can't necessarily answer those questions, but that's my contemplation right now.
Thanks.
