What should I consider when buying an eMac?

Instead of upgrading a Pentium 4 2.4 GB tower that I have is worth about 50 dollars, I am thinking of getting an eMac. The one I am considering, I believe,  is the lastest model made in 2005 or 2006.  When considering this model what should I look for or avoid?  I saw that some have defective mother boards.  Just want to get the best machine possible for that model.   Thanks for your input.  this computer wouldn't be used much but looking for general internet use, iphoto or iLife and something my 8 yo would eventually use for her school work. Also want to use a samsung laser fax printer with it.

Well this would be a seldom used computer, and I really would prefer a Mac that I can use for the basics, Internet, ilife, iWork, etc.  And something my 8yo can use for word processing and school work as she gets older.  I have an old Pentium 4 2.4 GB that I was thinking of having newer Windows software added to along with some increased memory which would cost (not a lot) something for a unit that isn't worth much in the first place (I had this thing repaired twice due a virus in the past too and it got really slow starting up before I gave up on it, so it needs some attention to be usable).  I prefer an apple for this use as I already have a Mac Book but I don't want to spend even 600 for a mini mac so I am now considering a second hand apple for this use and someone I spoke with who sells such said he had one of these.  he also has some other things too.  I am not super savvy with all the details so really need to find someone to trust for this.  Ultimately don't want to spend a whole lot, 200$ ish, since won't really be used much.
Here is a link to the person who has eMac which isn't listed right now and  a couple of other things he is selling.   He quoted 125.00 for the eMac.

Any suggestions would be great.

    If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
    Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

  • What should I do when I see this error message: iPhone cannot be synced required disk cannot be found?

    What should I do when I try to sync my iPhone 4s with a MacBook and get the error message: "iPhone cannot be synced...required disk cannot be found?"

    Close "iPhoto" if it is open. Open the "Pictures" folder and right-click on "iPhoto Library." Select "Show Package Contents." Right-click the "iPod Photo Cache" folder, select "Move to Trash" and sync your iPhone. The error message should no longer appear.
    if that doesn't work,
    uninstall itunes and download the lastest version

  • What should i do when i forget my reset password

    What should i do when i forget my reset password??

    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 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 Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 if you don’t have an install disk check this article. http://www.macyourself.com/2009/08/03/how-to-reset-your-mac-os-x-password-withou t-an-installer-disc/
    If you're running 10.7 Lion check this article
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/24/reset-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-password/
    With 10.8 or 10.9 restart holding the Command and R keys, then from the drop down
    of actions, choose Terminal.  When Terminal opens type:
    resetpassword
    and press enter.
    You will get a reset password window from which you can select the user you want to reset, the admin account in your case.  Type a new password twice, do not do anything with the hint box.  Click Save, then confirm you want to do this reset.  Then click apply to the user's home directory, and click the apple in the left corner, and choose Restart.

  • Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

    Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help

    The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

  • What should I do when my iPhone is in recovery mode, I'm trying to restore, and it's stuck at the "Waiting For iPhone" stage??

    I dropped my iPhone on the ground, and as I went to pick it up, I started to swear under my breath as I realized my iPhone was in recovery mode. I'm like "how would an iPhone be this sensitive -_-," and so as my iPhone's docked unto my laptop, and with relentless attempts to restore my iPhone, I always find iTunes stuck at the "Waiting For iPhone" stage and I honestly have no clue what to do at this point. What should I do to bypass this or fix this problem? Or do I just wait? -_-

    Nothing except that when I turn it on, there's a USB cable and an iTunes logo above it, indicating that it's in recovery mode.

  • What should be considered a basic question here?

    Hey folks I want some feedback on why type of questions we should consider basic in this forum?  I have noticed in the last several weeks the questions here appear to be easily answered from wiki articles or the new book on the SAP Webclient programming.
    Instead of me however throwing down the moderator axe, I want the community to decide the type of questions that should be locked or moved to a "basic questions" forum.
    Given that the CRM Webclient is now a relatively mature product and the available materials to learn have increased, this should be fair request.
    In order to ensure that you respond I'm going to give my thoughts on what should not be allowed
    - Any topic covered in detail in the CRM wiki page here unless you need a clarification is subject for lock
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CRMWebClientUIFramework
    or
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/CustomerRelationshipManagement
    Especially questions on how to add a new field, EEWB, AET, or dropdown boxes
    - Any topic asking for definition of terms is subject for a lock(i.e something that can be answered via help.sap.com)
    - If has already been answered before, then I would propose the following:
    1) Post the link in the thread
    2) OP responds whether that solved the issue
    3) Thread is locked from further discussion and awarding (to avoid rward hunting)
    Based on your feedback my goal is to implement the "stricter moderation" post Teched Las Vegas or around October 1st, 2011.  I would expect further changes to moderation style as SCN moves to a new platform and moderator tools are improved.
    Take care,

    Stephen,
    Basically queries like "How To xyz" which are already there on the WiKi should be moved to Basic Questions. These are the queries which are being raised by Consultants who are either new TO CRM or new to SDN or both.
    1. How to enhance a Web UI COmponent
    2. How to create a Drop Down
    3. How to create a F4 Help
    4. How to modify the Search Criteria.
    5. How to add a Attribute from AET/EEWB
    6. How to Create a Assignment block for a Z table.
    7. How to default values in Drop Down
    8. How to do dynamic navigation
    9. How to create Navigation Links for Navigation between 2 Components
    10.How to get business Partner ID from sy-uname
    11. How to Value node.
    12. How to create a BOL
    13. How to create a Pop Up View
    14. How to get values from Pop up view to the calling View.
    I guess these are few basic queries which are being asked N number of times and has been answered twice as many a times.
    Reading material and Tutorials are also sought by New CRM consultants which ideally should not be the case.

  • What should i do when my iphone 4S shuts down at 20-30% battery?

    I have gotten a few times the situation that my Iphone shuts down and it was still at 20%+. When i try to turn it on again it says that the battery is out. I put it back in the charger and i can turn it on immediately. What should i do? It is still in guarantee period
    Greetings

    Try recalibrating the battery meter... fully discharge (until it shuts off) and then fully recharge (don't unplug until 100%) to recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • What is latest firmware when buying a new iphone?

    what is the latest "firmware" (2.2 or 2.2.1 ?) when buying a new iphone 3G?
    and what is modem firmware (baseband) no. in the US right now? Is it still be 02.28.00 or 2.30.00 like in U.K.?

    what is the latest "firmware" (2.2 or 2.2.1 ?) when buying a new iphone 3G?
    Doesn't matter much, since you'll be prompted to update when you connect to iTunes - the latest is 2.2.1. Probably most phone have 2.2 at this point.
    and what is modem firmware (baseband) no. in the US right now? Is it still be 02.28.00 or 2.30.00 like in U.K.?
    In the US it's 02.30.03 with the latest firmware.
