Re: Graphic Cards Compatibility with M5183 Digital Audio but back of computer looks like AGP Graphics set up

I think I'll give this a try and let you know if it works. I'm also wondering if this explains the problem the poster had last week. -Jim Truth be told it's not that difficult to do the tape method although the method shown on mac elite is probably not the easiest - I find it much easier to first stick a length of tape to a flat surface and cut a sliver off lengthways about 12th inch wide (I just guess) - then apply it to mask the pins and trim leaving enough extra just to curl under the bottom of the connector to make it more secure. Two minute job reallyyou will know if it's not correct as the mac will not boot but no damage is done to the mac or the card.

Mac Virus; subject re-visited
A few weeks ago the subject of virus infection for Macs raised it's annual spectral head. Bruce who administers to many Macs attested to the lack of evidence thereof. I finally ran into the IT director of our university journalism and mass media department on one of his frequent Starbucks pit stops. He confirmed that of the 400 plus Macs which he oversees he has never run into a virus problem nor even a credible threat of any sort to Mac OS X. The machines range from aging iMacs and an occasional Sawtooth or QS to G5s, new iMacs and many MP Intel Macs . These run Tiger in some cases but most have the latest Snow Leopard upgrade. OS X Server is also used extensively and the server setup is humongous ( I have never seen such an industrial installation of Macs and RAID hardware in my life ) This department handles all media education and all campus media for a moderately large state university. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Weird G5 problem
More thoughts today (16th) The problem shows on the system that SHOULD be pristine! (Fresh install) Not on the one that is an 'update' and transfer from a MDD. Have tried an external USB modem, It isn't seen as usable either. [Thats why I went to the trouble to have the two example OS Systems on adjacent partitions on the internal(to the (G5) HD. That's what is so weird about it, Exactly (same physical pieces) the same hardware, Only a 'Reboot' to the other software and the problem shows up. Chuck D.

There probably should be an error message from Migration Assistant saying that the network settings didn't transfer correctly. I believe it would be titled Transfer Warnings and Errors.rtf. Probably on Desktop or Documents. You need to open System PreferencesNetwork and see if the internal modem is shown. If it's not shown, it should automatically recognize the modem when you open System Preferences, and if it doesn't, you've got a problem with one of the hardware extensions not loading. I can tell you how to troubleshoot this if this is the problem. If you have the internal modem shown as a network port, you'll need to reconfigure it to the correct settings (same settings as the working system), and it should work.

Can't check the SPNetwork at this time (I'm booted with the working OS to get Om-Line) but my memory says that the modem just doesn't show up going through 'setup' and 'diagnostic help', the modem just shows as 'failed'.

Re: G4 Power Mac M5183 up grades!!!
I hooked up this G4 Power Mac M5183 that I've been working on to the HP w2338h Monitor with the original video card that came with the Tower when new, my first boot the resolution was 1440x900 @ 59 Hertz (it was calibrating on boot) then we shut it down and rebooted and it calibrated again, now it's up to 1920x1080 @ 60 Hertz and that is max for this monitor and it's full screen too... I am wondering if this is good or could this ruin the monitor or video card??? Another question I have is I went to install my OS 9.2.2 retail disc and it wouldn't work (it worked with Jaguar???) So I downloaded OS 9 Netboot but it only runs classic, she can't boot into OS 9 from the Startup Disc in System Preferences, now she has the original OS 9.1 install disc and the restore disc if I run these will it erase Tiger??? She is really very happy with it so far and thanks everyone here who help me do this!!! Right now she is switching the monitor cable from HP PC Tower to Power Mac Tower and we are looking for a switch box so she doesn't have to do this in the future... Scars only tell us where we have been, they do not have to dictate where we are going... -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
