This should be an easy one for you experts ;-)

Just took my vintage 2009 Macbook pro that was having trouble running Lion back down to Snow Leopard. (formatted drive and reloaded SL) How do I get iPhoto, Garage Band, Imovie etc.... in other words the apps that came installed on my 2009 machine when I bought it. They aren't part of the SL install.
No need to be concerned about my user data/settings/other apps etc... I migrated them over to a new Macbook pro I just purchased using a Time Machine backup. (worked wonderfully) but as I'm sure you know moving anything from a Lion TM backup to a SL machine isn't possible. I've heard there are ways but it's complicated and well all I really want is my 2009 machine to be like it was new and I'll I need for that is what I believe is the iLife stuff (again iPhoto, Garageband, iMovie etc...)

Thanks for the quick reply wjosten! I didn't get any disks with my computer. I bought it new from the online apple store.. I still have the original box it came in, user guide etc...it came loaded with Leopard but no disks. I had the SL disk as I purchased it to upgrade ( I know I could have downloaded it for free but I wanted a disk for the exact reason as for how I just used it to reinstall SL in case I needed to someday). In fact, I just bought a 2012 MacBook Pro, picked it up at my local Apple store and it did not come with any disks, same as before, it came with power cord, user guide, cleaning cloth, but no disks. I can understand that apple saves money, time, resources and environmental material by not including disks, but they should make it easy to download these things when you are in trouble and not charge even a small fee. I paid for these apps and merely want to reinstall them on the same machine they orignally came with.

Easy one for you experts hopefully

I currently use an AEBS / AE with an x-modem on BT internet, BT are rubbish so I'm switching to O2 and They have sent me the O2 wireless box, I want to use this as my modem and router and effectively have the AEBS acting as a wireless access point on the network, how do you use it as such, do you have to disable the dhcp thingy so it just looks like an ethernet client to the router and if I do, can I still use the gigabit ports on the AEBS to hang a NAS disc off etc. also, would I connect the AEBS to the O2 modem/router using the WAN or LAN port on the AEBS
sorry if this is all simple stuff but I'm a doctor, not network engineer..:-)

You would connect the WAN port of the AEBS to one your O2 modem/router's LAN port. You would then need to run AirPort Utility and under the internet tab towards the bottom you would want the AEBS to run in bridged mode instead of sharing a public IP address. And yes, you would still be able to use the NAS disc off the AEBS.

This is probably an easy one for some of you [SOLVED]

Basically, I have some scripts that sudo netcfg <profile> that I have a launcher menu setup for in my KDE panel.
The scripts work fine. They are just bash scripts. What would be nice is if I could get some visual feedback on the script running, like maybe call open a konsole terminal, run the script, then exit the konsole terminal. I'm just not sure how to make that happen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sure, the command for the launcher should be something like this:
konsole -e /path/to/bash/script
You may need to put a sleep or 'press enter to continue' read at the end of the script if it just runs and exits. The -e option causes konsole to execute your command and then exit the terminal.

Easy one for you, I think

Hi ya'll.... here is an easy question for all you Dreamweaver
gurus out there. I want to write my website to a CD so that anyone
with any web browser can read it. I created it in Dreamweaver. How
do I accomplish this?

If it's a static site, get yourself a copy of AutoRun CD.
You burn two files to your CD along with your site files. One
is the
autorun.exe file. The other is an inf text file where you
specify which file
on the CD should load first.
Probably index.html.

JSPs reference to JPEGs .. this should be an easy one!

Hi,
We are moving our 6.20 java apps to NW04S J2EE apps. So, we have created EJB, Web and EAR projects for this.
In NWDS, we have used Import File to bring in all of our JSPs. NWDS stores them under the webContent folder in the Web project. Each JSP refers to /DCT/images/<filename>.jpg.
We have also used Import File to bring in the 6.20 images folder. In the project it is under /webContent/DCT/images.
When we preview the JSPs, the images do not show up unless we change the reference in the JSP to DCT/images<filename.jpg (no leading slash). Since there are so many JSPs we do not want to change the references in the JSPs.
Two issues we found:
1. We can only create a folder structure under webContent. It seemed to us that we would need to create /DCT/images at the project root.
2. In preview mode, when we right click -> propeties on the missing jpgs it says the jpg should be at c:\DCT\images. It is completly ignoring the file structure of our project.
Any clues to this mystery would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers ... Bart

If you link directly to a PDF, and the user has Adobe Acrobat
installed
(which the vast majority do), it will open within the browser
in Acrobat
Reader. The user can then choose to click the Save button and
save it to
whatever location he wants.
This should be fine for a restaurant menu. This was, the user
can look at
the menu online to his heart's content, and only save it if
he really wants
to have a local copy. (You might include, near the link, a
very brief
one-line instruction.)

If that's what you really want, you can zip the PDF into a
zip file, and
link to the zip file. That way, the user will get the dialog
box that you
want.

New to MAC -help with previous systems folder -this should be an easy one!

My PowerBook G4 (running Leopard) recently crashed due to some corrupt files, per the Genius Bar. I got it up and running with the Leopard upgrade disc as they recommended. Everything went well and on the HD it created a "Previous Systems" folder and everything is in there... (old applications, documents, etc. ... Now what do I do?
Do I just run the applications (iWork, MS Office, Adobe products, etc.) from that "Previous Systems" folder or should I drag and drop them to the new applications folder, or is it better to delete and reinstall all the programs again? And if I have already opened some of the applications from the Previous Systems" folder will this prevent me from moving them.
I just want to clean up my laptop and keep it simple... What is the safe and easy thing to do?
Thanks for all the help... this site is what influenced me to switch from PC to MAC !

I have an iMac and a Macbook, both with different AIM accounts. Using the same network at home I can chat easily between the two. However, when I bring the macbook to school, which has a different network (which works perfectly and I have never had a problem with and is connected when I open iChat) iChat can't seem to connect with it and it times out. I think it's just a setting or preference I'm not changing. Any help? Thanks.

Awesome, that worked. Thank you. Just a note for anyone else who may be looking for a similar solution: in Edit->Preferences->Javascript ensure the checkmark is there in the "Enable menu items JavaScript Execution privileges" option, or else you will get an internal error, with the debugger telling you security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Edit: In Acrobat X at least. 9 doesn't need it, and I do not have access to XI.

This will be an easy one for ya

Please could you tell me what would be the AS to make my
button. When clicked show text in another frame. I've been on
various tutorials. Playing with flash CS for two days now &
feel dead thick.
Thanks in advance.

Not quite sure what you men by 'another frame' but to make a
button you
should draw your graphic, then turn it into a MovieClip and
give it an
instance name such as 'myButton'. Then, on the main timeline
you would put
code like so:
myButton.onRelease = function(){
someOtherClip.gotoAndStop("pic");
If you have another clip, with an instance name of
'someOtherClip' then it
will goto and stop on the frame labeled 'pic' when the button
is released.
That help?

Hi
If this is a H.323 gateway, you can use a translation rule on the gateway like below :
translation-rule 1
Rule 1 ^.% 9
then apply to the dial-peer going to CUCM
dial-peer voice 1000 voip
incoming called-number .
destination-pattern 4...
translate-outgoing calling 1
session target ipv4: X.X.X.X
For a MGCP gateway, you would achieve this on the CUCM

Now this should be an easy one !! IPOD Software needs reinstalling...

Hello
I have an IPOD Nano, and it was installed on my PC, an
IBM 266 Laptop, with Windows XP Pro. Unfortunately a problem has occurred.. I now find on clicking the itunes icon that "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
I have tried to reinstall from the Control Panel, and have done what I thought was a complete reinstall, but still the same message comes back. I suspect that Quicktime is not properly installed. The only option seems to me to
manually delete every ipod file, until the computer is clear, then reinstall. The only problem is, I don't want to lose the music files that are already on the Nano.
Can anyone advise, please ?
Windows XP

> Removing iTunes will not remove anything from the
iPod (especiaslly if it's not connected).
Removing iTunes will also not delete any music files
from the computer.
Use Control Panel to remove iTunes.
Restart the computer, then reinstall it.
Thanks Chris for your prompt reply !, but won't removing itunes from my computer also delete the synchronised library, meaning that when I reinstall, and then reconnect the ipod to the computer, it will lead to the files on the ipod being deleted ?
Kind regards
Peter

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

Here's a different one for you...

I have an original iphone which i have had very little, if any problems. I updated to the 2.0.2 software that came out recently and everything was once again going fine. Here's where it gets interesting.
Two days ago, the bottom row of icons (phone, mail, safari, ipod) stopped responding. All of the other icons on both screen pages work fine. The "slide to unlock" works fine. I have noticed when I go to settings, the bottom icon doesn't respond in any screen either. Luckily, I can still use the phone through contacts and can still receive calls, but with no luck using the "end call" button.
I've read several of the posts in these discussions and have tried the reset, hard reset, restore, reinstall of 2.0.2. I know I'm not crazy, these icons don't work! Anyone out there ever had this happen or have any suggestions?

I would suggest an appointment at the Genius Bar and see what they can do for you.

New company requirements - a really good one for the experts

What is the quickest and easiest way to stop trading as one company and start trading as a new company, under the same company code. We want to retain all the history of the customers, vendors, etc.. but not their balances. We want to start with zero balances in the new company. This has to be done very quickly so not enough time to create a new company code?
Any suggestios or if you require additional information please let me know.

Hello,
You can transfer all customers, vendors and G/L account balance amount to dummy G/L account. After transfering operation, you can see all customers, vendors and G/L account balance is zero. Then you should clear all customers and vendors open line items. After this, please check all accounts balance with using F.08 report.
Then you should post new opening balance for all G/L accounts, vendors and customers.
I think, this is the one way without using new company code.
Regards,
Burak
