How is used to start up of my iMac, Snow Leopard, from a backup HD external Firewire?

I read about using Firewire to start a desktop computer is unresponsive.  I have OS x 10.6.8; 4 GB of ram with an external storage unit 1 t with a backup of the Snow Leopard.

I want to erase the HD of an eMac which is disabled.  The power button is broken and a thread has been cut.  It was working fine when we had a power failure and would not come back.

Found the answer to the search.

HOW TO INSTALL FIREWIRE

Hi Kofta

To use the firewire transfer mode, restart the iBook and when the screen goes black, hold down the T key on his keyboard. You should see a Firewire symbol on the screen after a few minutes. Connect the two computers with a Firewire cable, and you should see the iBook's hard drive mount on the desktop of your iMac. You can now copy your files everywhere.

If the iMac is brand new and you want to copy your users, applications, and settings, you can use the automatic Migration Wizard that will be launched when you start the computer - or, you can run it at any time from the Applications/Utilities folder.

  • Tecra M5: How to use the HARD drive password when the HARD drive is connected as an external device?

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 with MK1032GSX hard disk. I put a bios password and HARD drive password. Every day I turn on my laptop with my password a number only once: unlock the disk and bios. The password screen is before windows starts.

    One day my laptop motherboard is broken, I bring my pc on the Toshiba support center (less disc) and I'm waiting for him (2 months ago). I need to read my date of the disc, but it is locked by password. The drive is a SATA drive, I put it on a desktop computer and I see it in the bios and in windows resource device, but I do not see in the Explorer.

    None of the software I've tried (HDD unlock, atapwd...) will not work. I have my password, I have not forgotten.

    Thank you.

  • Mid-2015 MacBook Pro won't start every 2 weeks, need to restore from a backup.

    Hello all, big problem, Apple says that it is not material (although I'm not sure), but if not, then there must be some sort of conflict between my installed software and the new model of MacBook Pro mid-2015. Help!

    The problem here is that I've been running EXACTLY the same configuration on a MacBook Pro 2012 since, well, 2012, without any problem. But when I received the new machine in December, I migrated everything on (using Migration Assistant), I have installed a Bootcamp partition, migrated my old installation of Windows on the use of WinClone, and everything was fine for about 2 weeks. This is the same process as I did when I upgraded the machine from 2009 to 2012 also machine well.

    Suddenly one day, starting from Windows to Mac OS, I watched the progress bar filling, then stop, then the screen went black. No sound, nothing. I hit the power button and the same sequence. Progress bar about 3/4 of way filled, on the screen then black, then the unit turns off.

    I called Apple, went to two Apple stores, and we all tried to run disk utility to fix the problem. But every time I find myself with a message "Invalid node structure. The volume could not be completely checked. File system check exit code 8. Updated scores of start-up of the volume as required. File system check or repair a failure. Operation failed... "The topic on this bed,"first aid process has failed, if possible, back up the data on this volume. »

    The idea of first re - install the operating system didn't work... apparently there was a problem with the volume at this point so he would not restore. The next option was to completely erase the partition and then restore the backup. That worked, but then the entire process repeated two weeks later.

    I have been through this process 7 ~ 8 times since December! It seems to happen every two weeks and no one can tell me why it's happening on this new machine, but I have NOT had the problem on the old machine running the same configuration.


    Apple said it might have something to do with execution Tuxera NTFS on Mac (if I can share documents across side Windows). I have not removed... Tuxera two restorations there is no change.

    I also use Paragon HFS + for Windows, because most of my material is actually stored on the Mac side. I have NOT yet removed this (current running Windows 10) because I have NO idea why or how something running on the Windows side could affect the operating system volume on the side of Mac... especially when everything I do is opening and closing things as Word documents.

    I have log files and screenshots (I write below a few... but there are many others). Apple says "it is not a hardware problem" so they won't have to help understand if it's just software. I beg the community to help!

    Here's what I new material:

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015)

    Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB

    This graphics card is the NEW one, first, that I do business with AMD

    My OLD machine is:

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012)

    Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    Any help or ideas are appreciated!

    Suddenly one day, starting from Windows to Mac OS, I watched the progress bar filling, then stop, then the screen went black. No sound, nothing. I hit the power button and the same sequence. Progress bar about 3/4 of way filled, on the screen then black, then the unit turns off.

    This occurs when the drive Boot CAN get the initial Blob of the software off the drive with the boot loader, but when he tried to mount the disk with the file system, it can not be mounted. It runs a single past of [essential] disk first aid. If the drive cannot be mounted, your Mac can not do something useful, he died.

    If the problem could not be fixed quickly, you should have been advised to REPLACE this hard drive.

    This is what you need to do now and stop wasting your time. A new drive costs less than $ 100 and will solve your problems.

  • multi-angle view z liquid jade s57 camera mode (what should be done, how to use it)

    Hello

    I brought Acer and nobody seem to be able to explain to me what is the view from multiple angles in the camera.

    When I press the photo button there is a green line ranging from the left to the right, I guess so I can move around the object im taking a picture, but I don't know m.

    Only one officer of acer told me take several picture and it will merge them into one, no it's not.

    What is the multi-angle notice, how I use it and what is its role?

    From what I've seen online of other phone its supposed to do a 3d like this image when you turn the screen on the left, you see the left of the object, the same goes for when you turn the phone to the right. But I tried to take a picture while moving the camera 180 degrees around the object and its actually not not something special.

    Thank you for helping me.

    Yes correct.

    I was able to use a picture of multi-angle using Acer abPhoto, select the picture of multi-angle, press the icon of the cube at the bottom on the left, then move your finger on the touch screen left or right, and it will move.

  • How to use 'Start synchronous call' to run a Subvi timeout event and keep in hand vi still running?

    Hi all

    I have an application must periodically check the State of the instrument, and I put it in the "Timeout" vi main event. I need also call some subVis to configuration etc. Somehow when I called these Subvi, the Timeout event in my main vi did not work. I then use the ' Start Asynchronous Call "to call the subVis. Turns out it works fine with a few subvis worthless back, but not as expected with subvis 'return the required value.

    I have attached a simple test, my main vi call two dlg subvis: AboutDlg.vi and SettingsDlg.vi. In the case of delay, I just use a counter for the simulation. When you run it, you can see the meter taken into account when the AboutDlg.vi has been called, but stopped when SettingsDlg.vi is called.

    As I remember, someone suggested to use the queue to pass the return value, but I don't know how to implement here.

    Anyone have any suggestions on this subject?

    Thank you very much.

    Try to play with it - I modified your code to search a Q in there.

    You want to change the bunches to data types more useful (perhaps enum and Variant, so you can ungroup variants according to the enum contribution), you can type def clusters to make it easier to maintain and you will need TO handle the situation where the called VI is left open on program close - I couldn't be bothered, as it was not your immediate deliverance)

    Hope this give you some ideas - totalyy not tested, but should work.

  • How to use 1-channel analog input for start/stop aquire sample second channel input analog?

    I have a little problem. I've just been programming in labview for 2 weeks.

    I'm trying to figure out how to use my channel of analog input on the USB-6009 case for start/stop (reference trigger and start) presented to the second analog input channel samples.

    I need the first analog input string to operate continuously and control sampling on the second.  When the second channel will start sampling program brings a new graph each time and saves it (I have all this that figure out).

    How can I configure the trigger so the lance program presented in for the second channel when the 1 channel reached above 2V (e.g.) and stop when it falls below 2V.

    I use a pressure force sensor on the first channel that gives me straight (up to) 5 V when it is pressed and nothing when it is not...

    Thank you.

    Grand... Thanks for the information!

    But can't I then make a 1 channel instead and wait until that meat of the max element value?

    None of these products you mention are actually of VMware Workstation for Windows.  You can also use the free VMware Player.  What you downloaded is a virtual disk file, not a virtual machine complete... but you can easily create a virtual machine and direct him to use the virtual disk file you downloaded, rather than create a new empty virtual disk (by default).  You will want to use the custom mode when you create a new virtual machine, not the wizard!
