What kind of external disk is best for iMac?

I have a snall iomega external disk that I love. I just bought a new iMac and the cord does not fit into the USB on my computer, although it fit fine on my old imac. Not sure if I can replace the cord or if I have to get a new disk. In the event that a new disk is needed, what kind is most compatible with the new iMac so i will not have to do a lot of reformatting?

Hi, i have a Mercury Elite-AL Pro from OWC, www.otherworldcomputung.com

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEAQ7S1TB32M/
have had this for over two years, moved around a lot with the drive, ( to date ) no problems, they have good after sales support; give them a call if you need info.
There are a lot of drives out there as others here will let you know, there are good NAME drives but they also fail, POPULAR drives also fail, select the one you are happy with for your system and how you plan to use.
i suggest if $ is not a problem get a big drive you will find someting to put on it and is better.
hope this helps.

Just an FYI. The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before. Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:

The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini. It is no bigger than many an external hard drive. But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately. They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display. Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer. I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues. Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup.

What kind of storage we should use for oracle database?

Hi
thank you for reading my post
Can some one please explain what kind of hardware storage is common for oracle database, and kindly please provide some explanations about the reason that we can use such storage?

Perhaps you're thinking about RAID, an acronym for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks? That's not specific to Oracle by any means, it's a very common way of setting up multiple disks in a server so that the failure of one or two disks doesn't cause the system to lose any data. If you're dealing with a server of any size or any sort of SAN or NAS device, it is going to use RAID, the question is which form of RAID (there are different sorts of configurations with different levels of cost, performance, and durability).

Hm - there is only one PowerMac G4 without a line-in - it's called "PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio)". Take a look at this document:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
... it shows the back panels of 3 models, and if yours is the 3rd, that's it.
In this case, you can really only input sounds digitally. The cheapest solution would be to get an iMic USB device (maybe that's what your husband had - look at the pic. Older models were more like silvery), it comes for < 40 $, and you can plug a microphone into it (with the small 1/8" plug). Not super-great sound, but for that mic it should be good enough.

What kind of antivirus do you suggest for mac OS X Maverics?

What kind of antivirus do you suggest for OS X Maverics?

OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

What kind of Power Supply to buy for my Power Mac G5?

Hello!
After trying several things, and poking around several forums on the net I have become convinced that my Power Mac G5 needs a new Power Supply. My big question is how do I know what kind of Power Supply to get for it?
My computer is one of the last of the Power Mac G5's with Motorola chips; it has the dual 2.7 GHz processor core. I know the install will be tricky, but I feel confident I can do it.
The Apple store doesn't sell these Power Supplies any more, and our other local Apple repair store said they'd have to "match up the serial numbers" in order to find a new Power Supply... but they also wanted to charge me $200. (I'm a poor high school science teacher and would rather do it myself.)
Any words of wisdom/explanations on how to find the right type of Power Supply for my computer would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you both, Mac Man JW & Old Comm Guy!
My problem has been that the computer won't start at all. When I press the button on the front panel, I hear the click of a relay (like normal) but then nothing happens... no fans spinning up, no hard drive spinning up... silence.
When I open the side panel and press the button, I can see that the 2 cooling fans twitch just a little bit but they immediately stop. The only other thing I can see is that the red LED 7 light comes on, and according to everything I've read that light means 'contact an Apple representative.'
This started about 2 weeks ago. Hadn't had any trouble before then... if there were any warning signs I sure didn't see them.
If you think it might be something else I'm definitely willing to listen!
Did you check the liquid cooling system inside your G5 for leaks? That can make your G5 not start up as well. Look at this link: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/faq/powermac-g5-liquid-cooling -info-leaks-issues.html

What kind of iphone5 shoud I buy for using in China? The contract free, unlocked one listed for $649 is OK for me? Thanks!

China phones should be purchased there as they use unique carrier settings. Phones from other countries may not work properly.
Also, the iPhone warranty is not international and won't be valid outside the country where the phone was purchased.

What kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GH

hi there,
I have for sometime now a "Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5", and recently I have been thinking to get an Airport extreme wireless card with a bluetooth on it, which could work on my machine.
I have already try to deal with apple representatives and Apple sales people to give me a hand on the matter and so far is been a nightmare to approach this guys, tired of wasting time and effort, so that is way I am posting a topic on this section to see if you guys could give a hand on the matter.
All what I would like to know is what kind of wireless card I need for my Power Mac G5 (late 2005) Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 (version 10.4.11) and where I could buy one on line to install myself.
This is the mac unit I have.
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 4.5 GB
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
Thanks for you time.
regards
Toyko koyko

You're welcome. Funny how Apple works isn't it? If it's any consolation, that Airport/Bluetooth card doesn't show up on the Apple U.S. store either. I don't think they ever intended it to be a user installable part, so perhaps that's why they don't offer it for sale. Do you have any Apple Authorized Service providers in your area? I'd think they'd be able to order the card as a replacement part.
Can you give a little more detail or a link to the gadget you're referring to? It sounds like a USB dongle to enable Wi-Fi, but that must be a third party solution, since I don't believe Apple ever offered something like that.

There's 8 different models of MacBooks that are 2.0Ghz. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion).When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.

What external read / write DVD drive is best for imac

I have just bought a 27" iMac computer that is not fitted with a DVD read write external drive. Any advice on what I should buy?

There is no "best for Mac." "Different folks for different folks." It's all about your personal preference. Whichever one you decide to purchase, make sure you read all of the reviews.
I personally use a LaCie external burner drive.

Do I need my iTunes external disk plugged in for TM to see it?

Hi
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I have a separate External USB disk for TM, and another external USB disk for my iTunes library.
Now when I run TM, I make sure my other USB iTunes disk is plugged in so TM backs this up to (it does doesn't it?)
So basically is my iTunes external disk also backup along with my iMac internal HDD to the TM disk?
If I run the TM app, to see my iTunes backup does my iTunes external disk have to be plugged in?
So if I go away on holiday and put my TM USB external disk in a safe place, I know that I have everything backed up, eg internal iMac HDD, and my external iTunes library/disk?
cheers

If it's formatted for a Mac, and not excluded via +Time Machine Preferences > Options,+ yes.

Yes.

No, but while the drive isn't connected, those backups won't appear unless you select your +Computer Name+ in the sidebar, or before you enter Time Machine. See #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
By all means, try that, to make sure it's getting backed-up.
So if I go away on holiday and put my TM USB external disk in a safe place, I know that I have everything backed up, eg internal iMac HDD, and my external iTunes library/disk?
Yup.
Two considerations:
If possible, don't leave the iTunes disk disconnected for more than about 10 days. After that long, it's possible Time Machine may do a new, full backup of it, rather than just the changes. But that also seems to be related to the volume of changes, so if you're on vacation for a couple of weeks, and not updating iTunes, it's not likely.
Time Machine was designed to protect you best by doing hourly backups. Since you have an iMac, under most circumstances it's best to leave the Time Machine drive connected at all times, with TIme Machine running. And disk drives are also engineered to be on 24/7, so having it on all the time won't shorten its life.

What kind of external hard drive should I buy?

I have a MacBook pro and an older iMac desktop at home, and several different PC's at school and work (dells for the most part).
The files I need to move around are very diverse, from .psd and .ai to google sketchup to CAD to mp3s and PDFs.
I need to be able to seamlessly move LOTS of files back and forth (and I would also like to use an external hard drive to backup my personal photos, portfolio of work, and itunes library). I am sick of moving files with my small 20g flash drive, and I want everything in one place on one external hard drive. The last WD passport I bought will not connect to PC, and I hate the built-in backup software.
Any suggestions? What hard drives have worked best for you PC to Mac users?

Well first off you really need a couple of external hard drives to backup your boot drive.
If you detest the corny and hobbled TimeMachine as much as I do, then you will likely prefer bootable clones instead.
So the clones will be GUID OS X Ext J formatted so OS X can boot from them, but the PC's can't read that format easily.
Also one shouldn't be taking risks moving their clones around and hooking them up to various malware infected PC's anyway.
Most commonly used backup methods
Ok, next your going to need one or two external drives for transporting files between computers of different platforms (one backup), however you need to format this drive into something that the Mac and PC can read equally and with no trouble.
The formula is rather simple, take the portable drive(s) to the oldest version of Windows your using and right click and format the drive there for exFAT (not FAT, not NTFS)
Now if you have a XP machine and exFAT is not a option, then it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft's web site.
It's important to format the drive on the oldest Windows PC because XP can't read/format GUID partition maps and Vista and Win 7/8 can. XP uses a MBR partition map instead.
The Mac can read/write to all Windows partition map schemes and drive formats, except writing to NTFS.

What kind of inforobject can be used for compounding while creating charac

Hi all :
     what kind of standard inforobject can be used for compounding while creating characteristic ?
    I found that some could be , but some couldn't , like 0RESP_PERS.
THE ERROR :
1      Characteristic 0RESP_PERS was included in the compounding for COS09 (-> Long Text)      QLong text exists
2              0RESP_PERS is just an attribute and is not allowed in the compounding No long text exists
0RESP_PERS is an object, why can't be used for compouning?
Could you please tell me why ?
   Thank you very much!
Edited by: jingying Sony on May 10, 2009 7:05 AM

Hi Jingying Sony,
One can mark an infoobject as an Attribute Only in the General tab.
This means that the infoobject will only act as an attribute and cannot be used as a characteristic in infocubes. Neither can it be used as a navigational attribute and I guess it may not be available for compounding then(since in compounding - it implicitly becomes a characteristic).
For your ref
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
If you uncheck this checkbox, then may be it will allow you to compound this characteristic..
You may try with a (self created) ZRESP_PERS reference chararacteristic of 0RESP_PERS, to confirm this.
