By the way is Memory Prime Firewire or usb? ve some questions about the external HD business, because I'm in still in the process of deciding what exactly to buy (which enclosure, what size HD to put in it/if I should buy one with a drive already in it) and I'm also considering going the CCC route (I have yet to use CCC for anything at this point) on the new external backup drive for bootability. So here's the questions (most important considerations: simplicity and cost effectiveness): ccc or super (du, forgot name) will work. 1. Is it preferable to buy an enclosure which already has the drive in it, or to buy an empty enclosure and put a HD in it? I ask because I notice the empty enclosures are so much more economical, and from my POV at least (i.e., making sure I buy the right kind of HD for it -- I find the choices overwhelming, and once I do figure out the right one, need to have my BF do the actual physical installations for me). Not to bad. Safer then the computer, no worries about slipping and breaking logic board, etc. 2. I know my G4 likes internal ATA HDs (that's what it has now, and that's what I ordered from the Swap List) -- is ATA, PATA, SATA, SATA-1, SATA-2, eSATA (whatever those extra SATAs are: I know, Google is my friend, and I do plan to ask him) a consideration for EXTERNAL HDS? I ask because one of the external enclosures that caught my eye -- an OWC Mercury Elite-AL Oxford 934 says it supports any capacity SATA-1 or SATA-2 HD: would my G4 recognize this even? This case takes SATA drives you need pata (ata, ide, etc) You would need a pci SATA controller card for the QS. But, for longevity and future hardware try for a case w/ SATA, eSATA, firewire, usb 2 (usb 1 compatabe) ports. 3. Can you use partitions on external HDs like you can with internal ones? One thing i'm considering, if it's possible -- the external drive should be a 500GB, logical - if $ permit If 500 gig external change my suggestions. split into two partitions of 250 GB, onto which I CCC Nucleus (10.4.9) on one partition, and CCC Nucleolus (10.3.2) to the other, so for the transfer of internal drives and future possible emergency. I'm thinking to do the external HD first, partition it, CCC existing contents of Nucleus and Nucleolus as described, then (once I'm sure a CCC backup works), wipe the little drives and replace with the big ones, onto which I CCC the stuff from the external to the new internals (partition one to Nucleus, partition two to Nucleolus). So is this possible with my G4, and if so, is it a good idea? Wow, you are smart! ;) See what you have learned from the lists? Go back and review archives for topics on backup, cloning, etc. Maybe you can find more tips on the process. (backup may also bring up power backup.) 4. Naturally, sticking with the familiar also tempts me. I saw an Iomega eGo Portable USB/Firewire which comes with a 250 GB drive already in it got my attention also, and I must say it's tempting to buy that (I had nothing but good experiences in the past with my Iomega Zip drives) and continue my backup system as simple external data storage.

Memory Prime was originally BOTH Firewire and USB -- until the Firewire port on its enclosure (LaCie) died in December 2008. Since that time, I've been updating my backups via USB. In fact, I have a couple of important folders I just changed running over to it as updated backups now, as I write this. ccc or super (du, forgot name) will work. Super Duper is the other one.

But, for longevity and future hardware try for a case w/ SATA, eSATA, firewire, usb 2 (usb 1 compatabe) ports. I ended up buying a 500GB OWC Mercury Elite 7200RPM external HD from OWC -- external FIrewire/USB case with 500 GB HD already in it, which comes with cables and a power supply (which, like the two 250 GB internal HDs, has arrived and is ready for me when I'm ready to hook it up. I also ordered an ACard PCI 6220 controller card from a guy on the Swap List -- still waiting for it to come in. Use of partitions on 500 GB external; yes, the salesman at oWC confirmed I could do this. :-) Wow, you are smart! ;) See what you have learned from the lists? LOL, ;-) I'm smart enough to have insisted on saving all the relevant information in my email archives and persisted with with migrating all my old emails to my new OS X native emailer when I switched a couple weeks ago, anyway. :-) Anyway, by now I HAVE decided to go the CCC route when I upgrade my HDs and backup system. The first part of the upgrade will consist of hooking up the new external HD first, formatting it to two partitions of 250 HB each, and backing up my old internal HDs to it with CCC. Then I'm going to test each partition and make sure they'll BOOT my QS as well as for my backups being accurate. When I'm sure of that -- and when my BF gets here to do the computer surgery (first weekend of June), that's when the controller card goes in (I expect it to artive early next week at this point) and the two new 250 GB internals go in. By that time I'll be have been using the new external as a backup drive. And then once I see the card has given me full access to the 250 GBs on the new internals, I'll CCC the stuff from the external backups over to the new internal drives. Theoretically, with the controller card, I should still be able to keep the 60 and 20 GB internal drives in the QS in the machine while their 250 GB replacements go in. That may be a good idea temporarily, at least until I see that the bigger replacements are working. Go back and review archives for topics on backup, cloning, etc. Maybe you can find more tips on the process. (backup may also bring up power backup.) I'll go General Googling on this actually. I don't remember my Googlegroups login or how to find any of the LEM list archives from their respective Google Groups because I participate entirely from email! LOL Is it bootable from usb? The Iomega? I don't know. I either never knew, or maybe I just don't remember, that ANY external HD would boot a Mac from USB, I always thought it HAD TO be Firewire to boot. I loved the Firewire on my external (when it worked, LOL!) because it was FAST to update my backups and move big amounts of data to the iBook

I've also been able to upgrade it with a better ATI Radeon 8500 Mac Edition video card (see http://www.barefeats.com/sawgraf.html) so it is Quartz Extreme compatible.

What could be causing the sound to cut out?
I've been facing an annoying problem that has been getting progressively worse, so I figured it would be time to get a second opinion because I'm drawing a blank. Background: I have a PowerMac G5, 2.0Ghz DP with 6GB of RAM. Video is supplied to two monitors with a stock AGP Radeon 9800 Pro with 128MB of VRAM and a flashed PCI Radeon 7000 with 64MB of VRAM. Problem: Whenever I am heavily multitasking, iTunes seems to randomly cut out whenever I am doing something on the screen powered by the 7000, but never the 9800's screen. I've tried using Songbird as well, but the problem seems to be systemic since all audio cuts out at this point, but will come back within a minute or two. I've been watching Activity monitor fairly closely, but haven't noticed any processor or RAM usage spikes that coincide with the loss of audio. In fact, the processors rarely crest a combined 110% and I almost always have at least 2GB of RAM free and untouched. I have a pair of nVidia GeForce 5200s (an AGP and a PCI, both with 256MB of VRAM) lying about that I could easily flash. Would installing those help? I somehow doubt it, but there might be something I don't know about this as a whole.

I know when a non-Quartz Extreme video card is combined with a QE supported card the entire Mac loses QE function unless you use PCI Extreme to enable QE on the PCI card (which means you likely have no QE on either card?). Seems likely the Radeon 7000 could be a problem and perhaps you've lost all the Core support, including Core Audio? I believe the 5200 does support Core Image but if you're using the PCI version, you'd still need PCI Extreme to get QE working, and if you're using Leopard, I'm not sure PCI Extreme works? I know it works in 10.4.11. If the Radeon 7000 is causing Core Audio to not work, switching could be a solution to your issue?

It has the following configuration: AGP 1 ATI Radeon 9800 Pro PCI 3 M-Audio 2496 Audio card PCI 5 adaptec FW/USB2 Duoconnect NEC D720101GJ After being shutdown for awhile, I started up and got a KP, then restarted and all seemed ok. Was doing a CCC 3.2.1 from my Yikes! over the network to the QS ... Docs to /Volumes/Docs , was going ok, and it froze. Then on Restart, no ATA drive. Tried OS X Install DVD Disk Utility which showed no ATA. Removed the adaptec card, pushed cuda, still no ATA drive. I don't have anything like Disk Warrior. Would removing the drive, putting it in an external case, allow me better access? Any free Disk Utilities I could download onto my Yikes! and try to repair it in an external case? Ideas welcomed.

Re: Proper Backup Procedure for Migration?
Hi there, I just did a successful Upgrade today. For my backup, I used Deja Vu and cloned the drive over the network. This probably took more time than if I had plugged the drive in direct, but it produced an usable clone just the same. Didn't need it, thankfully. For my installation, I used my OS X installer that I cloned to an external firewire hard drive. First I checked the MacBook drive using Disk Utility, than I upgraded - Upgrade was the default choice, so I figured what the heck. The entire installation process took about 40 minutes. The only tick I had was when I closed the Registration Assistant window instead of quitting it altogether - when I decided to quit it finally, it wouldn't quit and it was holding back the finder. Restarting cured this, and the laptop's been running fine - through numerous updating restarts and sleep cycles - ever since. Now, the latest and greatest version of Dictate should be in the mail tomorrow. YIPPEE! Just out of curiosity, has anybody tried installing OS X from an USB Flashdrive? Thanks a lot for all your help.

That way I kept all my applications, extensions, preference panes, etc. intact in the new system installation. After all the updates I ran monolingual to remove languages and architectures, then ran TechTool Pro to optimize files and volume structures. The process took about 2 hours, it turns out I didn't need the CCC backup at all because everything worked but there's no way I'm skipping that step- it's the best insurance.

Was the Leopard install disk in your computer or some other external drive when you selected Upgrade? Did you use Upgrade to upgrade your backup or your computer? Where do you find monolingual to remove the languages and architectures? That would save some hard drive space! TechToolPro commercial version or supplied by Apple?
