Two questions, DiskWarrior, and G5 wont sleep...

Thought I'd make an attempt at gaining two answers here
Firstly, recently my G5 will not go to sleep using the Energy Saver feature. The screen does go black, but both the little lights, on the monitor and G5 itself don't pulsate and I can hear the machine hasn't goning to sleep. If I however manually click sleep using the power button, it does work fine. I've read through older posts, and tried deleting two of the plist files, rebooted but still not working. It's not massivly annoying, but would be nice if it worked.
Second question, I have recently bought DiskWarrior, and have two internal drives, I also use Superduper for cloning my main drive, Which I have, so I have a copy of DiskWarrior on both drives effectively. As I'm still waiting for the CD to arrive, can I run DW from either drive to repair the other?
Appreciate anyones help on either subject
Thanks!
Phil

Having DW installed on both drives is a good move. As long as both drives are bootable, Yes, you can repair one drive booted from the other drive, and vice-versa.

  • Two questions: Scanner and exception handlers

    Extreme Newbie Alert: I took a single college semester involving Java, almost five years ago, and haven't really touched it since until recently when I decided to try to get back into it. I am now working on building a program while reading the Java 5.0 Tutorial downloadable from Sun.
    Okay, now that the faint of heart have left us, here are the two questions I want to ask:
    1) I am trying to use the Scanner tool ( http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html ) on a FileReader wrapped in a BufferedReader. I have installed JDK 5.0 and I am importing java.util.*, but when I try to compile I get this error:
    Wishlist.java:71: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class Scanner
    location: class Wishlist
    Scanner readFromMe = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("wishlist.txt")));
    ^
    ...and then another one pointing to the other appearance of "Scanner" in the same line, followed by six more in places where I use the readFromMe variable that line was supposed to declare and initialize. Any idea why the compiler doesn't recognize Scanner even though I'm importing its package?
    2) Is there anything preventing you from nesting exception handlers? As you've seen, in this program I open a file...if that attempt produces a FileNotFoundException, I want the error handling to create a new, empty file to use in place of the one that should have been there. Since this could throw an IOException of its own, I would need to put a try | catch block into the other catch block. Is the compiler going to stand for that? Alternatively, is there any input stream that creates a file with the specified filename if there is none already? Probably not, since a newly created file will be empty and there's no point in having an input stream on it...

    1) Are you sure you installed and are invoking jdk
    1.5? Maybe you have an earlier version ahead of it
    on your path.Hm. I did use 1.3 back in college...I checked the contents of PATH and the User Variables version of it was set correctly but the System Variables version of it was set to 1.3. I corrected the System Variables version of it and now the compiler doesn't complain about Scanner...but I'm still getting errors that it doesn't recognize readFromMe even after I initialized it. Odd...
    2) yeah you can nest try/catch blocks like that.
    However, in this case, exceptions sound like the
    wrong way to go. A missing file sounds like a real,
    regular possibility -- it's not that exceptional as
    you describe it. A better thing would be to create
    a File object, see if the file exists, and then if
    it doesn't go ahead and immediately handle that
    case. Don't even try to open the file that may not
    exist.Okay, I'll try rewriting the file read like that, and hopefully the readFromMe errors will go away. If they don't I'll make a new post...probably with the entirety of the code because I can't even guess at what part of the code is causing that. Thanks for the help!

  • Two Questions: Link and call transaction

    Hello,
        Im using tableView and tableviewcontrol to display the data and corresponding columns.
        How can I mark one column of table (let say VBELN) as link <a href....> so that user see there is event attached to column. Only one column should have link.
        Secondly, when user click on order, I need to call VA03 and display order. When users see order and and say Back, flow come back to BSP. Will call transaction VA03 in BSP event will work and how? Currently my URL is crashing on VA03.
        Im trying to do something like interactive report.
      Please let me know.
      Ajay

    It sounds like you will want to do a little research on two different topics.  First for your tableView - read up on on tableView Iterators.  There are weblogs and on-line help on the subject. This will allow you to easily control the rendering of individual cells of your table.  You can then render an htmlb:link in the cell in question.
    You can't just call VA03 from a BSP application, VA03 needs to run within the SAPGui. When I have had requirements like this, I like to use the ITS (integrated into the kernel as of Netweaver 04).  The ITS has a service called webgui that will render an HTML version of any SAPGui transaction.  You can pass initialization parameters to the start of the transaction (such as sales order number for the start of VA03).  That way you can jump from your application right into the order you want to view.

  • ITunes keeps opening and iMac wont sleep...help!!!

  • Two questions: ical and markspace

    !. Is there a delete keystroke for ical tasks/events? There is a keystroke for cut, copy, and paste, but I can't find one for delete.
    2. When I sync my palm with missing sync, events that are not timed on my palm don't show up in ical at all. anyway to fix this?

    The answer to the first question is: your delete key. No kidding. Highlight the event and press the delete or backspace key. Poof!
    As a long-time Missing Sync for Palm OS user, I really don't know what you mean by "events that are not timed on my Palm…" One common definition of an 'untimed event' is a to do item, which is synchronized by the Mark/Space Tasks conduit, not the Events conduit. Are you referring to…
    • an Appointment without a start and end time?
    • a Floating Event?
    • a To Do entry?
    • a Daily Journal entry?
    • or, another event type from a custom Template?
    If you create actual calendar events [appointments] on a Palm handheld or smartphone and them synchronize them with iCal using Mark/Space events—or, for that matter, using iCal if your not a Missing Sync user—you must select a default calendar in iCal into which such events are transfered.
    In iSync, that's controlled by a somewhat clumsy and not so reliable preference in the pane which drops down when the Tungsten icon in the main window of iSync is pressed. The default is to create an Unfiled calendar in iCal. The problem is that with the release of iSync 2, iCal 2 and Mac OS X 10.4, this process does not consistently perform as expected.
    With the Missing Sync, you choose an existing calendar by double-clicking the Mark/Space Events conduit, and selecting the calendar from a drop-down in the lower right corner of the dialog box. The menu is labeled Put items from read-only calendars into:
    Later Palm OS 5 devices have multiple calendar support, so this is generally not an issue for them.

  • Two questions: rainchecks and payments

    1. I was given a raincheck for a laptop that was on sale at a BB that was far from home. Can I go to another BB that is closer to my house to use that raincheck and still get the sale price or do I have to go back to the same BB?
    2. Can I use multiple forms of payment to complete my purchase? Example: An item cost 500 dollars, can I pay 100 in cash, 200 using a debit card, 100 using a gift card, and 100 using a credit card?
    Thank you.

    Hello El_centro89-
    I apologized for the delay in my response, I understand that you have some questions you have about rain checks and I will be happy to address them.
    Rainchecks are given on case by case bases by the store; therefore you will have to return to the store where it was originated to get it honored. You are more than welcome to use the multiply forms of payment, just let the cashier now the payments you are wishing to use beforehand to avoid any mishaps.
    Thank you for taking the time to write your questions to us.

  • Two questions - flv and markers

    1. How do I transfer from fce 3.5.1. to a flv? Any free flash encoder will work? I don't have Flash.
    2. The client wants me to send them a flv file with markers showing. How to make markers show?
    Until yesterday I didn't even know what Flash was.. very new this.

    It depends on the Flash encoder, some will work from inside FCE, others will probably need for you to export from FCE and bring the material into their software. Chapter markers will not export from FCE to most Flash encoders, but you might be able to create the chapters in your Flash encoding software. You will need to do a lot more research on this subject on the web and on forums specifically related to working with Flash. You might try the Adobe forms to start. I'm sure there are others.

  • Two questions: UMA and email

    First, I have an 8900 I bought unlocked from Amazon.com.  It apparently doesn't have UMA, because I cannot find the options even though T-Mobile says it's available.  Is there any way to install it or get it working?  I bought it specifically for this function!
    Second, I'd like for it only to receive email when I ask for it.  Right now it gets email all the time, even after I turned off Reconciliation.  How can I turn off email so I can only retrieve it when I want to?

  • Two questions: chmod and restore all of mail

    What must I type on the command line to make all files readable by anyone on my time machine external disk?
    I tried chmod 777 /volumes/2 TB
    (2 TB is the name of the drive)
    and how may I restore from a few days ago all my mail, i.e. the application, preferences, and mail boxes (and their contents).   At the moment I can only view them as system admin. i.e. root.
    bc

    If you perform any such commands on your Time Machine volume it is unlikely you will ever be able to restore from it. You will have to use system admin to restore any applications. They may or may not work. You can copy the other documents to your machine in a place like /Users/Shared. Then, as a standard user, you can copy the file to where they need to be. The copy operation will set the ownership. Hopefully it will work. When you are all done, you should erase your Time Machine and start a new one.

  • HT201303 hi just got my new apple ipod touch i need to update my security information other wise it wont let me download apps it says to enter three questions about myself and i get to the third question and it wont let me enter the third question

    hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a question!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • Two questions on SP1 and Vista booting

    Hi all,
    two questions:
    1) did I understand correctly that if I want SP1 on my machine I have to install it manually, as it is not included in the automatic update routines?
    2) my machine failed yesterday, I got a message "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause." The only thing I can think of is that before switching it off the previous time, I had inserted a USB hard-drive to copy some files on it. But I had continued working on the machine normally. The other unusual event is that the day before it was very slow booting up, so afer it finished booting up, I restarted it.
    When the system failed to start, I tried the automatic procedures several times, which always ended up with "windows cannot solve the problem automatcally,
    contact your vendor". In the penultimate attempt, I also clicked on an "advanced option tab" and restored the system, but that also did not solve the problem. Then, this morning I switched the machine on again to write down the exact error message I got, and instead, unexpectedly (and rather gladly), the machine started up normally. So, what might have happened? Should I get my machine (which is less than a month old) checked?
    thanks!

    Yes, theres a chance to have a complete image from the actual state of your operating system including all programs etc....
    There are several solutions:
    1. The Commercial One: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_(software)
    2. Another commercial one: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/features-cloning.html
    3. The Free one: http://www.ubcd4win.com/
    (but more complicated and you need in all cases a external data storage, there are some tools on this ToolsCD which are free and do almost the same like acronis or ghostimage)
    I guess there are still thousands of cloning programs but I tried to give you the most important and most reliable tools.
    If I were you, I would check the UBCD4Win, burn it to a CD, buy an external HDD, start the UBCD4WIn and clone your drive to the external one. So you can perform incremental backups of your HDD and if something happens, you must only do the whole process like you perform the backup just reverse.
    Hope I could help you..
    Cheers
