Run CD content direct from HD

My wife teaches first grade and has an old G3 iMac that she lets her students use in her classroom. She has several programs on CD that the kids use. As you can imagine the disks take a beating. How can I copy the contents of the CD's onto the hard drive so that the CD's are not needed? I used to know how to do this but haven't run OS 9 myself in ages. My searches also turned up nothing.
Thanks.

If you decide to go down the Disk Copy disk image route, it may pay to lock (use Get Info) the disk image file, before mounting it.
Roxio Toast, if you already have it, usually does a much better job at making usable disk images. Same again, remember to lock the disk image before mounting it.
Otherwise, I'm assuming that there is only one iMac and only one CD for each software package, just live with the CD's. A spindle of 50 CD's goes for about £7 in rip-off Britain. Buy them when they're on offer in the supermarkets two-for-one, and I have 100 CD-R's for £0.07 each.
A final alternative, and clutching at straws here, is that the software packages just don't need the CD installed. ie. you can just copy the files to the iMacs internal hard disk using the Finder. If the software comes from the days of 3.2GB and 4Gb hard disks, it may just not have considered copying 600MB of content to a hard disk a viable option.

Error 0x80070002 when Task Apply OS has "Access content directly from the distribution point" checked

When I check "Access content directly from the distribution point" for the "Apply Operating System" task in my OSD Task Sequence, I get the failed error 0x80070002 at the step when running the sequence from WinPE.
If I uncheck it, I don't get that error or have any problems.
I've ensured that in the properties of my OS Image in the Data Access that "Copy the content in this package to a package share on distribution points" is checked, and that I Updated DPs.
Am I missing any other settings?
The reason I'm trying to do this is because the "Download" speed of the WIM is incredibly slow. I already installed a hotfix (KB2905002) that fixed this for my Dell systems, but it's not speeding it up for another computer model I'm imaging in
the same way. The Dell computers, after I installed the server hotfix, will downloading the .wim file at 1% per second. However the HP thin clients I'm imaging download at about 1% every 15 seconds, and I'm not sure if that's due to their hardware or what.

Hi,
The error means file not found. So you need to check the smsts.log to see which DP it is accessing, then go to that DP to check the Shared Folder smspkg to make sure the file is there.
For the download performance issue, there are various reasons. You need to check your Switch bandiwidth and if the NIC driver is up to date. If downloading locally is slow, Accessing directly could be slow too.

HT204088 Why can't I see the purchase history from the ipad? I mean, I can buy apps and in game content directly from my iPad, but I have have to install iTunes on my PC to see the purchase history? What kind of deal is that?

Why can't I see the purchase history from the ipad? I mean, I can buy apps and in game content directly from my iPad, but I have have to install iTunes on my PC to see the purchase history? What kind of deal is that?

Welcome to Apple Communities
You don't need to install iTunes for the purchase history. You can see it in your iPad (iTunes > Purchased), but you need to install it if you want the order numbers

I would like to download mp3 content directly from a specific website to my iphone or ipad

I am trying to download mp3 content directly from a website, jw.org, to my ipad and iphone. I used to be able to this with my android phone, i had to download a "filemanager" app to unzip if I selected complete "albums" but it would then automatically make them available in my music app. There has got to be a way to this on the iphone.

I think it recognises *some* non-Apple Bluetooth devices, but the number of devices, and the functionality supported, is very limited, and extremely poor and inflexible when compared to other manufacturers' devices.

Run SBO report directly from SDK

Hi, is there a way to run an SBO report (for example Service Contracts) directly from SDK? The report should be given the necessary parameters too.
I know that i can call Service Contracts form, simulate a query to find the appropriate record and then simulate a click on print preview button. This way it will undoubtedly work.
But I would prefer opening the print preview directly, without the need of opening another form, that slows down the whole process. Is there a way to do this?

Tamas,
There is currently not an object via the SDK to directly run a report. You would have to use the work around that you mentioned.

Redwood Cronacle : run a transaction directly from Cronacle

Hello everyone,
Do you know if it's possible to run directly from Cronacle a SAP transaction without using an ABAP program ?
Thank you for your reply.
Scheduling team

Hello
No this is not possible. Are there any transactions in particular that you want to schedule?
However, if you go to a transaction through the SAP GUI automatically an ABAP program is created in the background. You should be able to run that ABAP from SAP CPS.

Can I use Apple TV w/out a Wireless Router (directly from MacBook Pro)

I have a MacBook Pro, a wireless home network, and Apple TV, and everything works fine. Because I frequently want to make presentations of my iMovie projects outside of my house, it would be nice if I could simply take my MacBook Pro, and my Apple TV, and just plug the Apple TV into the available TV, and play my content directly from my MacBook.
Is there a way to do this?

Not sure but you might want to try posting in the Apple TV forum - You're in the iPhone forum!

ITunes 10.7 Update returns error (-1003) & remains in App Store despite updating iTunes directly from iTunes webpage several times & currently running latest version 11.0.5 (5)

I have experienced this problem since purchasing a brand new MacBook in October 2012, basically the App Store permanently displays "1 Update Available" for iTunes 10.7 but clicking the "Update" button only results in the following error "A server with the specified hostname could not be found.(-1003)" so I have always had to go around the App Store & download & install iTunes updates directly from the iTunes webpage. I am currently running the latest version of iTunes 11.0.5 (5) & what I believe is the latest version of OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) & I simply wish to stop the App Store displaying this update that doesn't work anyway & relates to a year old version of iTunes!!!
Note: It may or may not be of importance but the same problem was also happening for iPhoto & iMovie but I was able to locate fixes for these issues which entailed changing a filename in both applications' "Contents" folders from "_MASReceipt" to "_MASReceipt_FAULTY" (although I believe I could have renamed it anything!) I obviously tried a similar thing for iTunes & App Store separately but unlike iMovie & iPhoto which were fixed immediately the recommended changes were made, these modifications did not resolve the issue which persists to this day & isn't critical but is just annoying!!!

Search for "iTunes" in Spotlight and make sure you don't have an outdated copy lying around, perhaps on a backup volume.

Error. your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.

I have the following inside my SharePoint server 2013 :-
EnterPrise Wiki site collection.
i have both "Excel services Application "& "Visio Graphics Service" running correctly.
The problem i am facing is as follow:-
when a user click on an Excel sheet or Visio document , it will be shown inside the browser without any problem.
but if the user click on "Open in Visio" OR "Open in Excel" links inside the browser, they will get the following errors:-
Sorry, but to open this workbook, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Excel and a browser that supports opening files directly from Office Web Apps.
To open this document, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.
I have the following settings inside my PC:-
Office 2010 for Excel, word, power point,etc.
Visio 2013.
i have disabled SharePoint foundation support for office 2013
Can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.
Here is a blog about the same issue for you to take a look at:

Run BI Publisher report from an application directly to a printer.

Dear All,
I have an HTML page (with JavaScripts),
I want to Run BI Publisher report from this page directly to a printer. (and send parameters).
Can anyone help me, and send me Demo URL or Demo code to do this?
Regards,
Tovit

Tovit
you are going to have build out a servlet that the page can call. The servlet will need to implement the supported web services to schedule a report. The schedule can include the delivery options ie to a printer. So you would create a schedule that runs the report immediately via the scheduler and then to the printer.
I dont currently have any servlet demos but the services are pretty well covered in the user docs.
check them out and give it a try, if you get stuck let me know

Run GAME CD/DVD direct from hard drive

How do I load and run my kid's games directly from the hard drive on their MAC? My kids are young but pretty good with their MAC. However they are brutal on the CD/DVDs (scratch them, etc.) I would love to run the games from the hard drive via icon from desktop. Just like the game demos in the Apple store!
Thanks in advance!
Kevin

You can sometimes create an image with Disk Utility. But some games are copy protected preventing that. I found that to be the case with Simcity 4.
P.S. Mac is not an acronym. Please read this tip:

Can the runtine engine and an application be run directly from a CD?

Can an application be run directly from a CD without installing the runtime engine and application onto the computer?

It depends on what library functions the application is using and what version of LabVIEW it was built in. In LV 7 and earlier you could just put the run-time files (the ones in Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time...(lvrt.dll is the most crucial of the files, a full list can be found here on the developer zone)) in the same folder as the application and it would run without any problems in most cases.
In 7.1/7.1.1 math functions had to be installed as well if you had used any of those and could be a problem, otherwise it still worked (we do this still with apps that use serpdrv instead of VISA).
With LV8 it is still possible, but the chance of the application depending on some function that you do not get included this way is much higher, I would just test it and see how it goes.
