Nullriver's MediaLink Leopard on a G4
Is this the best app / preference pane for connecting a PS3 to my Digital Audio Dual 533 under Leopard 10.5.8? worth the extra $20? The UPnP idea seems like something that might be found within Leopard, but I guess not?

10.4 install disk will not work on PowerMac G5
I recently bought a used PowerMac G5 Quad Core 2.5MHz (late 2005) which came without any software. When I tried to install OS 10.4 (Tiger) from a retail DVD, it produced a kernel panic. I was able to install from the DVD by connecting the PM G5 to a G4, putting the G5 into FireWire target disk mode, and putting the DVD into the G4's DVD drive. I doubt that the problem is in the G5's DVD drive, because it has not had a problem with any other DVD or CD, including booting from a DiskWarrior DVD. Any ideas as to the cause of the problem?

well, I guessing you have 'software update' updated. Which might suggest, that whilst 'ps3 media server' is supported on leopard, perhaps only on intel systems.

Re: Poor wireless reception on G4 Aluminum Powerbook
Really? - That would be a really easy fix then, at least to try before moving on to Plan B which I think would be Kris's USB 802.11n WIFI adapter. I installed Tiger on my MDD and my previous powerbook (Pismo), but when this one came with Leopard I figured I'd just leave it there and see how I like it. So far, I'm not feeling the love anyway. I haven't loaded too much stuff on this AlBook yet, so should I just figure on wiping it all out and starting over?

Re: Poor wireless reception on G4 Aluminum Powerbook
On Apr 14, 2011, at 8:47 AM, Bruce Johnson wrote: You're seriously suggesting that Apple would ship laptops with a 5' wifi range? Apple shipped not one iPhone, but TWO iPhone's with a major antenna/ reception issue. If you Google search this issue you can find MANY people having this problem with aluminum PowerBooks. I can attest that I have worked on a 15 1.67GHz aluminum PowerBook that had this problem, but as Alex suggested, when I downgraded back to Tiger (at the owner's request because Leopard was too slow), the reception issue cleared up. I can say for certain it wasn't an antenna issue, but it may be a Leopard software bug issue? I still think the best solution may be a USB external dongle like this one which is $16 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/PSP-NDSL-WII-Hi-Gain-USB-Wireless-w-Rp-SMA-Connector-/260656488799 NOTE: This one uses the Zydas chipset which is OS X compatible, but it might be better to find something with a Broadcom chipset. Also, Apple has used both Broadcom and Atheros chipsets in their Airport cards. The Atheros are considered to be inferior in terms of range, so if this PowerBook has an Atheros chipset Airport card it might be worth switching to a Broadcom chipset card. -- 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.
