Re: Powerbook G4 1.67ghz does not chime on startup (OSX 10.5.8)
Did they work before you did a reinstall? Did you check the volume control up by the time in the top right hand corner, System Pref and click on the speaker (Sound) or the F5 key too??? It might be the sound card, bad wire to the speakers or even the speakers??? If they worked before the reinstall it may not have installed the drivers for the sound? Maybe do a clean and reinstall again??? -Original Message- From: Clmtyne mamahay...@yahoo.com Sent: Feb 6, 2011 2:31 PM To: G-Group g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Subject: Powerbook G4 1.67ghz does not chime on startup (OSX 10.5.8) My powerbook has stop chiming.

2009 MacPro + Blu-Ray
Hi All, Asking here as there seems to be very little activity on the MacPro list, and I stay on this list for my G5 Dual 2,.0. I also have an 2009 Mac Pro (bought in April 2010), and I would like to add an optical drive with Lightscribe into the lower optical bay which is currently empty. I've been considering a Blu-Ray writer, and have bought the Blu-Ray module to expand my Toast 10 Titanium. Some Pioneer Blu-Ray models seem to give trouble with Macs, and OWC are offering LG models, but here in the UK I can get the LiteOn IHBS212-32 12x BDRW at a very good price. Does anyone on the list know in the LiteOn is fairly happy with Macs? And although it's not a primary consideration, is there any software yet that will enable playback of commercial Blu-Ray films on a Mac (I have an NEC 23 EA231WMi monitor, 1080p resolution)?

You need to be an administrator to do those things. If there is an administrator account, try to use it (you probably will need to know the password that goes with it). If that doesn't work, consider installing a new system where you can set yourself as administrator and use system preferences to change things. -- 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: Powerbook G4 1.67ghz does not chime on startup (OSX 10.5.8)
Yes, try zapping the pram for sure. Hit the power button, and then hold down command+options+p+r until the machine restarts a few times. Also, those laptops had an ambient light sensor that would automatically adjust the brightness of the screen. It's possible that you had it disabled before the new install. -Jonas -- 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.

Panther installation PCI Ethernet Card problem
(Power Mac G4 AGP 450 Mhz, 1.25 GB RAM, 160 GB 40 GB internal PATA HDs, Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11, Mac OS X Panther 10.3.9, Mac OS 9.2.2) About a month ago I installed a Gigabit Ethernet PCI card from Operator Headgap Systems, described in part as follows: This PCI ethernet card adheres to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab standards. This Realtek Chipset PCI 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet adapter is a high-bandwidth network adapter that auto-senses 10/100/1000Mbps connection speed Drivers were included on a CD. The card worked with Tiger, no sweat. Ran into some snags with OS 9, but my wireless router CD helped bail me out. Actually, it might have helped me configure Tiger as well. I don't recall having to do much of anything manually. (What I tried failed, anyway). Today I installed Panther on a partition. Nothing I've tried has made Panther work with the ethernet card. (It does connect with the built- in 10/100 Base-T Ethernet. But it's the principle of the thing. It ought to work with the PCI card.) To begin with - and this was after installing the driver - System Profiler didn't even see the card until after I'd updated (from original install disc version) to 10.3.9 . I tried: Reinstalling drivers from the OHS CD, more than once, including drivers for 10.2+ (actually, the driver named as the one for 10.3 also said 10.2+ within the installer) and 10.4 . Network Setup Assistant. System PreferencesNetwork. Not much I could do there when PCI Ethernet Slot 4 (as shown in Tiger and OS 9) didn't exist as far as it was concerned. I had all the Tiger System Profiler info for PCI Ethernet Slot 4 printed and in front of me, and there didn't seem to be a thing I could do to put it in. My wireless router CD. Didn't recognize a connection with ethernet cable connected to the PCI card. Auto-configured connection just fine with it connected to built-in ethernet. It seems to me I'm seeing something different (from Tiger) as Panther starts up, prior to the login screen. Loading Shared IP [something] and Waiting on Network Extensions, among other things. I'll be more precise if need be. Just not right now - I've already restarted Panther about a million times today. Anyway, the aforementioned made me think there might be something in Panther interfering with the Realtek driver. I looked to see if I could discern any differences in various obscure network/internet apps between Tiger and Panther (Internet Connect, for instance), but I was just grasping at straws. Didn't notice anything obvious enough for me. Maybe I just didn't get the correct Realtek driver from OHS, somehow. If that's not it, I'm at a loss. While I'm here, I'll mention something else about the new Panther installation. It takes absolutely forever to boot up, whether restarting or just starting. 2 minutes of black screen before the monitor even comes to life again. That seems egregious even for a bloated custom install + 8 billion accepted software updates. Tiger and OS 9 are on the same HD and have no such problem. So maybe I'll start over and do an Easy Install, then the 10.3.9 Combo update, then install the Realtek driver. Before I do anything else.

Re: Panther installation PCI Ethernet Card problem
Drivers were included on a CD. The card worked with Tiger, no sweat. Ran into some snags with OS 9, but my wireless router CD helped bail me out. Actually, it might have helped me configure Tiger as well. I don't recall having to do much of anything manually. (What I tried failed, anyway). Realtek is perhaps the only manufacturer which has developed OS 9 drivers for its 10/100/1000 card. You have to dig really deeply to find those drivers, however. Realtek developed the 10.4 driver first, then the 10.3 driver, and, finally, the OS 9 driver. The 10.4 driver appears to work fine on 10.5. Been there, done that. Anyway, the Realtek 8169 card is supported OOTB by MacOS from 10.2 on, so I really wonder why Realtek bothered developing a driver for 10.3 and 10.4/10.5. No 10.6 driver exists as 10.6 doesn't support PPC Macs. I used to run a half-dozen Realtek 8169 card in my Shuttles, until I discovered how to hack the Yukon2 kext to support the on-board Marvell 88E8056. -- 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.
