Re: G5 1.6, XBMC Home Theater?

2010-11-21 Thread t...@savingus.org

More than likely it's not two DVI ports, but one DVI and one ADC, if one has 
rounded sides, it's an ADC connector.
Right you are, rounded sides. I was just told tonight (by the bloke who 
gave me the G5) it's a special
propriatory Apple connection for a flat see-through monitor. I guess 
that's an Apple Studio Display. I pick it up tomorrow.



As for XMBC, sure it ought to work just fine. I suspect the G5's fans and 
general heat output might be an issue in the living room, but it certainly 
cannot hurt to try.
Great news that XMBC should work. Yes, been reading how these machines 
run hot - luckily it's Winter and I have this Entertainment System in my 
basement.



Also, DVI connects just fine to HDMI
I should have said I have an ancient entertainment system instead of 
just old. I thought I would need a DVI to RCA (component video Y, Pr, 
Pb) adapter and found several for really cheap because apparently they 
don't work. More expensive ones were non-returnable. All reviews I read 
were horrible.


Then I ran across the Apple DVI to Video Adapter [29 pin combined DVI - 
RCA 1 x 4 pin mini-DIN] Shortened description: The Apple DVI to Video 
Adapter was designed specifically to allow Power Mac G5 systems users to 
connect from the DVI port to S-video or Composite video devices such as 
TVs, VCRs...on the Power Mac G5 system only.


Thanks for the input!

 I snagged a G4-400 Sawtooth in the hopes of upgrading it to a dual

 profiler shows 2 x 500 CPUs with cache, but OSX installs kernal panic
 on booting from the OS disk).

 So what would be my options other then sticking the single G4-400 back
 into the system? Are sawtooth motherboards with rev 7 chip common and
 cheap? Will a newer motherboard (GiGE?) fit and work with the old PS?


I feel your pain as I am in the same situation with my Sawtooth.

There are supposedly two versions of the Sawtooth motherboard 820-1093-A
(v1) and 820-1094-A (v2). I've been meaning to check and see if mine is the
v1 and, if so, try and find a cheap v2 board.

Changing motherboards completely will probably mean a different PS (to
provide the ADC's 28 volts) and a different back panel (rearranged ports).

I'd say that unless the v1-v2 swap works, then your best bet is a fast
single.

G4 450mhz dual

CS3 has to be on the startup partition; I don’t know about Final Cut.
Why not partition that 150GB drive, e.g. in 60+90, and install the
system on the 60? That will most likely speed up your computer as
well.

If 90GB for rendering is not enough, think about replacing the 30GB
internal drive by another 150GB, or bigger -- they’re not expensive
anymore, and you’ll earn it back quickly by saving time!

Re: Installing tiger on a new hardrive

2010-11-21 Thread Geke
Forgot to say (on your other thread) that your G4 probably has the
120GB limit, meaning that you have to partition drives into volumes of
max 120GB.
A fresh OS install is always best, but you can clone your current
system to another drive with Disk Utility or CCC (Carbon Copy).

How should a family of five share one computer?

2010-11-21 Thread Michael Emery
This is a question about how to set up a Quicksilver dual so that a  
family can best use it, without disturbing the other family members  
parts.


My boss at work loves him some PCs because he likes to get his hands  
under the hood and dirty them up; also, we get a lot of donated  
products because the company is a nonprofit. (Too bad that Apple  
doesn't donate Macs to public television.) He thinks Macs are just too  
much of an over-priced, closed system. And I think that I'll never get  
used to those problematic PCs at work because I'm so spoiled by smooth- 
operating, good-looking Macs on my desktops at home and work. The  
result is that I buy my own Mac for work.


I just bought a very sweet iMac Core i3 for my job. It will handle the  
latest video file formats, video peripherals (like the Sony U1), and  
Avid's newest Media Composer app. And methinks the native 1920 by 1080  
screen dimension should handle my HD projects with aplomb. This means  
that all of my current hardware can trickle down one notch: the Power  
Mac dual G5, my former workhorse, can go to my desktop at home; the  
iMac G5 on my desktop right at this moment can move across the room to  
my wife's desktop; and her Quicksilver dual can move into the home of  
my wife's niece.


This niece is a struggling single mom, currently supporting four kids  
from middle school to elementary ages. (Insert your version of hard- 
living here; it would likely pale in comparison to this one.) They are  
very needy, and I believe that a computer would be a valuable addition  
to their home. While the mom is the least computer-literate, I fear  
that any one of these five family members could probably wipe out huge  
parts of the OS and personal bits (belonging to others) if the machine  
is not set up appropriately for all of these users. Some of ya'll are  
managers of computer systems both large and small, and have lots of  
valuable experience. I'm thinking of installing Leopard and providing  
a Time Machine backup hard drive. Would you recommend that I give them  
one admin account on the Quicksilver, known only by the mom, and one  
guest account for each family member to use? And of course, I will  
train them all the best I can.


Thanks for your consideration.

Re: Installing tiger on a new hardrive

Those machines don't support hard drives over 128GB. You can buy a program
called Speed Tools ATA High-Cap Driver that will bypass this limit, but you
will be stuck with the drive split into two partitions.

The other option is to put the hard drive into an external case and plug it
into the firewire port. The computer will see the whole drive and you will
be able to access it's total capacity.

One more option is to get a PCI ATA card that doesn't have the 128GB limit.

Yes you can install onto either an internal or external drive using the Mac
OS X installer.

Your easiest option is to get an external case for that drive, unless you
don't mind it only being 128GB.

160 GB drives certainly exist, as do 320 and 640 GBs.

At the time 160 GB drives were quite popular, 300 and 400 GB drives  
also were popular.


500 GB drives and 250 GB drives which were derived from the 500 GB  
drives were also found.


It is certainly possible that 150 GB drives were derived from 300 GB  
drives, and 200 GB drives were derived from 400 GB drives, by the  
simple expedient of eliminating platters.


Dual G4s were made in 2 x 450 and 2 x 500 versions (Gigabit  
Ethernets, 100 MHz bus, 4 RAM slots, 3 PCI slots, AGP, video).


Dual G4s were also 2 x 533 (Digital Audios, 133 MHz bus, 3 RAM slots,

Create Account button. DON'T click Allow this user to Administer the 
computer unless they are old enough/experienced enough to do so. If 
they are fairly young, or you're just worried about them messing with 
stuff they shouldn't (I know I am) YOU SHOULD click the checkbox for 
Simple Finder. You can pick a picture to go along with the account, 
check off any apps you want to start up automatically in Login Items, 
and then click the Parental Controls button. From there, Click 
Application and Finder to pick which apps you want your child to have 
access to (for Flash Game access, make sure the application iSwif is 
checked in Finder and Applications).


If you choose to allow your child(ren) to have access to the Internet, 
click on Safari too - in both the front screen of Parental Controls and 
in the list of Apps under Finder and Applications. For Safari, you have 
to then log in as them, Run the Full Finder, Open Safari, go to 
Safari/Preferences.../Security/ and uncheck the Enable Parental 
Controls box - Delete any bookmarks you don't want, add any bookmarks 
you do, then enable parental controls again, go back to Simple Finder. 
Later, if you are just adding one website for your child, you can just 
make them turn the other way, put in your user name and password and 
bookmark the site.


Good Luck!

 By all the experts here putting jumpers on this drive is not the way to go.
 At least I was told so.

I would agree with that. As was also previously mentioned, the main
reason for the jumper was because during the early days of SATA
implementations some controllers did not correctly implement the
auto-negotiation of the connection speed. As time passed and these
controllers passed into history, the jumpers appear to have gone away
or used for other purposes.

At any rate, correctly implemented SATA should not require any jumpers
on a SATA drive at least that's my understanding.

 Right now the dirve shows up every other time (yes)
 on Disk Utility and can not be partitioned or erased. DiksU claims that the
 500 GIG drive is 446 GIG.

Well that doesn't sound right. If it were me I would attempt to narrow
down where the fault might be.

If returning it to the place you purchased it from is not an option,
then I would see if the drive fails to work in either another system
or as an external drive.

If you can go back to a retailer then do so. I would assume they would
probably test the drive themselves but they may just replace it for
you. (I haven't bought hard drives other than by mail order in so long
that I really have no idea what a retailer might do in this
situation).

In any case, I would suggest you do find out what is what soon. If the
drive IS bad then the longer you wait the harder it may be to get
whomever you bought the drive from to replace it. You could most
likely still replace it under the manufacturer's warranty, but not as
easily. (And I don't think you could be assured you'd be getting a new
drive as a replacement in that case).
