Suggestions to replace Tungsten E

I have my Tungsten E since 5 yrs.
The battery is not keeping is charge and sometimes the device freezes.
I'm looking for a replacement.
Any suggestions?

So, Palm finally has decided to throw in totally with phones (except for the cruely limited Z22)! Phones represent constant obligations for me from helpless people: I'm sorry: I don't consider Palm by default to be the Phone King. (For one thing, I don't think they should throw in with Bill--what's the point? Bill can't run Palm apps.).
Anyway, you could try to replace the battery--after you open the case back, you'll note that the battery leads are soldered to the circuit board. If somehow you can find a battery for the E that's still good, you'd need to un-solder the leads of the old battery and solder the leads of the new battery correctly to the circuit board. (Such batteries have limited lives--even if not used.) A bunch of techies on this forum likely don't like me mentioning new battery install for the E to you (no one else has mentioned it--it's not considered something that a client should do on their own). Soldering the leads in the first place is Palm's own fault--Palm shouldn't continue their mentality that their devices should be expendable and disposable after a few years....
I think my Lifedrive died tonight (after a few years)--it won't hard reset or turn off--that's why I'm here; I may have some warranty left on it (after all the bad reviews, I did extend that a couple of years). If warranty still is good, I should receive a refurb unit from Palm. For some unknown reason, I turned it on and it loops--all I've been doing for the last few days is play tunes through Pocket Tunes. That's the way it is--these things die unexpectedly for no apparent reason. People could say it's the specialized SDHC software mentioned elsewhere in the forums--I've been using that for months, however, and I haven't installed anything else lately....

My 13" macbook just stopped working. When you turn it on you get a white screen and hear a repetitive clicking sound on the left side. Is this the hard drive? Any suggestions on replacement drives?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Stop suggesting router replacement

Hi,
After spending some time viewing the forum entries for iPad WiFi issues, it has become very very apparent that there is:
A. Software inconsistencies causing interruption of WiFi signal/settings.
B. Hardware inconsistencies with the internal antenna(s).
C. Both
I'm sure Apple is hard at work to make their customers happy.
In the meantime, I have seen a large number of faux-tech heads making suggestions like "Your router is out of date, get an Airport Extreme/Express..."
You need to understand that everyone has a different level of tech experience. There are many people out there who are at the mercy of their limited technology knowledge, and will blindly follow suggestions from users who appear to know what they're talking about.
Apple brand routers/airports are extremely high priced. Please stop suggesting that users go out and buy an over priced piece of hardware, based on your uninformed opinion of the problem.
Apple devices like iPhones, Macbooks, etc all function just fine on nearly any network hardware. Distrubution of an IP address/authentication on a network is not an advanced feature, and does not require cutting edge hardware.
For the sake of all end users, and their wallets, please stop suggesting router replacements.
Edited* iPad's do not have Antennae, as far as I know. That's usually insects.

Actually the OP didn’t make any suggestions about staying with out of date router gear at all. Nor did he comment on the style of lamps in his residence.
Router suggestions are fine and they may offer workarounds for some users who have both the knowledge and access to the network gear they use. However they do not offer a general solution.
Based on what I read here, there seem at least two different, but likely related, iPad WiFi issues:
1. The ability to detect nearby wireless networks for connection
2. The ability to achieve a reliable connection with a wireless network selected.
Issue 1 seems a weakness issue of the basic capabilities of the iPad. If an iPad cant see networks, the ability to connect with them seems poor.
If I walk to my back yard with both the iPad and a laptop, their ‘sight’ is very different. My laptop sees 9 separate nearby networks, 2 of which are open and the rest secure. The iPad only sees 1, the one in my home. Somehow that seems pretty basic in compatibility.

Any suggestions for replacing Preview?

Preview on Lion has always been flaky. I found a work around for it crashing after images were deleted, (ctrl+click the thumbnail and send to trash rather than delete from the folder). But this week Preview has decided that I don't have permission to view ANYTHING. Images, PDF's, nothing at all. I've done the checking permissions and it tells me I have read & write, but it still won't open anything at all. When I got home, I viewed the same images on my iMac without any problems at all. But then, my iMac is running Snow Leopard and has never had any problems. There is no way I would even consider 'up-grading' (PAH!) to Lion.
So, given that Apple have no interest in making Preview work, does anyone have any suggestions of stable software that I could use instead? I want to very quickly view images and possibly perform simple edit, such as cropping.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm simply finding this so frustrating. This is my second Macbook Air. My previous machine crashed every time that Preview was used. It then became incredibly unstable and Lion required rebuilding twice. The third time it needed to go back to Apple. On receiving the machine back, I switched it on in the store and it crashed again, there and then, so Apple replaced it.
I posted when the first machine was having problems, eight months ago...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16957706#16957706
I also posted in a 'Preview problems' thread that began in July 2011. Preview is still unstable a year later :-(
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3195026?start=0&tstart=0
The replacement Macbook Air works fine, except for Preview. Unfortunately because I frequently use the machine for quickly editing photos on the move, that's a big issue for me. Yesterday I was at a race track and couldn't view the images until I returned home.
As for the images, they were mine, taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mk2 and had been downloaded directly from the memory card.
**Bizarely, I have just tried to open an image directly from the memory card and it opened. I returned to the images that are on the Mac that wouldn't open yesterday and they are now opening. I have no explanation for this, I haven't changed anything since I posted my frustrated rant! I haven't even shut the machine down since then.
There is something not right about Preview and if I could find other software to do what I need I would use it.

Suggestions for replacing out port vi

I am working at replacing an old computer with a new 64 bit/Windows 7. Problem is that I can no longer use the Out port vi and wondering if there is any simple way to go about this without having to redesign the complete tester. Any suggestions for parallel port communication would be great. I currently use RS232, the parallel port and PCI cards for GPIB and RS232 on the old computer that I am trying to upgrade the system.
I appreciate any suggestions you may have!!

I concur with Dennis. I have used DIO boards of different types to simulate everything from parallel printer ports to microprocessor buses.
The key to minimizing impact is to write driver VIs for whatever hardware that you end up with that are drop in replacements for old VIs.
By that I mean that they not only need to have matching connector panes and terminals, but also perform the same function logically.
How fast does the program need to be able to update the output? The answer to that question will tell you how fast (and expensive) a board you will need.

External CD/DVD-RW Drive? Any suggestions to replace my broken internal dr?

Like so many of us, my cheap SuperDrive died in my Early 2006 20" iMac. Instead of spending the $$ to replace the internal drive, I am considering instead switching to an external drive to replace it. That way I save on a ton of labor to replace the internal drive.
I burn some DVDs...and am looking for a good, reliable, proven external drive.
Any suggestions? This board is always so good about this kind of stuff...
Thanks,

Suggestions on Replacement Hard Drive for Mac Book Pro

I have a MBP - 15-inch, Late 2008 - the apple tech tells me its starting to get daaged- before it goes I want to replace it.
She told me to go to Newegg and purchase one there...however not sure what to get...
I want a 1TB drive if its possible....anybody got some qualified advice...
Thanks.

Almost any 2.5" SATA hard drive can be used. Recommend that you get a 7200 rpm drive, you will appreciate the increased performance over what you currently have. Just be aware there are not many 1TB 2.5" drives around. The only ones OWC carry at this point are Hitachi and Toshiba. I wouldn't buy either brand.
I just successfully installed a WD Scorpio Black (750GBm 7200 rpm) in my MBP. Both physical installation & installation of OS X went without a hitch. It's running like a charm.
Also, you will need 1 tiny & 1 small phillips screwdriver and a small torx screwdriver to open your MBP and replace the drive.

Suggestions on replacement hard drive

I'm needing a replacement hard drive for a 733MHz 128MB 40G Quicksilver. Anyone with experience on certain brands?
Thanks,
Jason

Jason:
A 120GB (ATA-100 or ATA-133) drive is perhaps the optimum size... You've confirmed that Mac won't see more than the first 128GB of any drive connected to the native drive bus on the logic board. You may add a drive larger than 120GB to this bus (in case you find a larger drive for less money than a 120GB one), but only the first 128GB will be recognized after formatting. For larger drive internal use at full capacity, you'd need to add a PCI controller card to hook the drive to.
To physically install the drive, you need to correctly set the jumper pins on the drive and then connect it to the proper connector on the ribbon cable. (I assume that the current drive is working and you'll be duplicating the data on it to the new drive. If I'm wrong, please let me know.) One of the drives will be pinned as master (single master/single drive) and connected to the end of the ribbon cable; the other pinned as slave and connected to the inline connector. They get mounted one above the other in the drive stacking tray that's in the Mac. The new drive will come with the jumpers, mounting screws and a spare ribbon cable, so you'll have all that you need).
If you need help with this, let us know after you've purchased the drive (pin setting positions vary on different brands). Don't drive yourself crazy with the installation manual that comes with the drive, which is confusing and Windows-oriented. Also note that the accompanying software CD is useless for Macs. You'll instead simply use Disk Utility to initially format (initialize) the drive.
As for cloning, I think that the most user-friendly software is SuperDuper, which I'm pretty sure you'll find to be a snap to use. (I'm a long time fan of CarbonCopyCloner, but recently tried SuperDuper to familiarize myself with it and was very impressed by how friendly it is.) It walks you through the volume duplication process in a few easy steps.

Suggestions for replacing my 24 inch 2008 iMac with new one?

I wish I could afford better, but this is the one I am looking at.

This will work pretty well. Just a few observations:
- if you can afford it, the experience of using a mac under Mavericks or Yosemite is improved if the boot drive is an SSD, or at least a "Fusion Drive"; the responsiveness of the system in general is much better.
- going with this model with 8GB of RAM is the right call; memory can easily be upgraded later, from reputable third party vendors like OWC or Crucial, for much less than it would cost at Apple
- if you are serious about video work, do consider a fast external drive for your productions. USB3 works fine, and is usually much cheaper than Thunderbolt
- you'll need extra drives (even lowly USB2 are fine) for backup

Suggestions to replace Linksys befw11s4 ?

I have a Linksys router for both wireless and wired access. This is used for a small home network. When it works it's great. Over the last couple months, for some reason it just locks up. I put the thing right next to my desk so when network access dies I can just pull out the plug, wait a couple seconds, plug it back in, and from there we're good for anywhere from a couple minutes to a few days. I don't know what triggers the error. Fried circuit? Overheating? Weird wireless activity that sends it into a loop? Malicious internet activity that triggers a bug in firmware? I have no clue, I just need relief.
The box is running firmware rev 1.50. I don't think there is anything more recent. Before this I was running a Linksys BEFSX41. I had to upgrade and downgrade the firmware on that until I got just the right features I needed, but nothing extra to crash it.
I'm tired of dancing with firmware. I've done my time in forums and with support people. I don't want a box that's obsolete next month. I need a box that's as stable as possible, well regarded, well supported (as in it shouldn't need support), and reasonably priced. I want a support group that will listen when something is wrong and issue patches within weeks rather than (maybe) annually.
What are the better quality offerings out there for small home networks with both CAT5 and WAP?
Thanks!

You can try WRT160N router which is one of the stable routers.
Or try the new Linksys E1000. E2000 or E3000 router.

Macbook Pro freezes often after the hard drive replaced

Hi I just had the hard drive of my 17" mbp replaced at the Apple Store. The reason I brought my mbp in was because the Disk Utility couldn't fix my HD's problem (loud noise, extremely hot, slow..and disk utility couldn't run repair), and the genius bar person suggested I replace the hard drive.
However after I had my compter back, even though it is not as hot as before and the Disk Utility showed everything is normal now, the really loud fan (possibly fan I guess) noise still sounds very crazy. I was just doing some web surfing, light work stuff, but the HD area just roared. Also my computer freezes so often now, and apprears busy (showing the rainbow color spinning ball) quite frequently even when I am just using Safari and Mail. This is quite annoying and makes me worried more.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I could bring it back to the store again but it was really a trouble. Any ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks!!

Thank you both. Before I take it back, I would like to confirm one last thing: how often should the mbp make loud fan noise? Or actually we should never hear the fan noise? I really don't remember when I just got this computer (June 2006) I used to hear fan running like this. But I do know if the CPU was too busy while I were using Adobe programs or play WOW or somehing on my old computer, the fan of my old computer (PC) was pretty loud. I am just wondering if the situation I am experiencing is normal or not before I send it back. Thanks!

What is the replacement of STRING in ABAP in 4.0B

Hi,
I am working in 4.0B version. The string does not exist in 4.0B.
data: v_tab like string.
String is not avilable in 4.0B.
So can anyone suggest the replacement for this.
Wait for quick response.
Best Regards,
Bansidhar

You have to use fixed length CHAR fields. Strings were new in later versions. They didn't replace something earlier.

Suggestions for new router/switch

I have a wired Ethernet network in my office, and have been using a Linksys BEFSR81 router with it since installation. The following machines are connected:
MacPro early 2009 OSX.5.7
G5 2.0 dual OSX.5.7
iMac flat panel 700 mHz OSX.4.11 (2 identical machines)
HP 2300n printer
Brother multifunction printer/fax/copier
The router is dying and needs to be replaced. The whole network is hard wired but I could use a wireless router (e.g. Linksys WRT310) with a switch (I need at least 6-7 ports total. The selection of wired-only routers is very limited; what would people suggest for replacing the Linksys BEFSR81?

Check these pages out first on how to install. NOTE, to look for the"GL" version, as the G, GL, GS, GX are all on the same page.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54G/GL/GS/GX
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Index:FAQ
For the GL, you need to flash 2 firmwares initially in the beginning.
You first need to flash a mini generic (or micro); just go with mini, to the router first. Then after the mini is installed, flash the standard generic.
To easily find the right versions. Go to the dd-wrt homepage, and then look for the tab that says "supported hardware". Click on that and type in: WRT54GL (which is your router name, the one I recommended). The model GL model will show up, and click on it. There you will have all the firmwares that can be used with the WRT54GL.
There are a few different ones, but the ones you need to download are the "mini generic" AND "standard generic" (non-usb standard generic, if you're connecting through ethernet. Only if you use usb to connect to the internet then the usb version). Look at the file name to confirm.
Flash mini first, then standard second. And you only have to do this once.
Make sure to read through the above installation guide carefully, and just basically take your time. Some things to look out for are mainly just 2 things:
(1) Doing 30/30/30 hard-resets before AND after flashing.
(2) Use Internet Explorer to do the initial flash. DO NOT use firefox (maybe not even safari). This is only for the initial flash with the linksys firmware on. Once dd-wrt firmware is on, any browser will do. This is in the install guide, but basically any PC with IE will do fine. If you don't have access to a PC, you can even use the "old" IE for mac. That will work too.
Again just take your time, read things, and double check them. It's actually a very easy process after you've done it once.
