Re: Problems maxing ram on Quicksilver

Mike,

 I would verify that you are using all the same speed memory and same 
latency. Mixing different chips could cause problems. You might also want to 
clean the slots and test each stick individually using AHD (Apple Hardware 
Diagnosis) if you don't have the CD that came with the computer you can 
download the image from Apple Support site (sorry don't have the link for 
this). Once you test individually try 2 at a time and switch the 2 that you are 
testing.

Subject: Problems maxing ram on Quicksilver

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any similar problems or solutions when
maxing out the ram on an old Quicksilver. It's model M8493 running a
933mhz processor. I have tried to max out the ram to 1.5GB but when I
put the final 512MB chipset in it causes programs to freeze or just
quit midstream (like Firefox, Safari), or the machine to freeze up
altogether. If I put a smaller size chip in it runs fine (I have an
old 128MB one that used to run in it). The machine recognizes the
1.5GB. I have tried rotating the chipsets in the memory slots, made
sure they are seated properly, and even returned the most recent one
purchased and gotten a replacement and the machine still has the same
problems. I don't know if there is something I am missing or what. If
anyone has any ideas as to what the problem is or how to solve it
please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Problems maxing ram on Quicksilver

2011-05-10 Thread Michael Farrell
Thanks Albert.
The memory chips are all the same speed and from the same source. When I
returned the original stick I thought was causing the problems the source
said sometimes the Mac doesn't like certain chips and sent a set made by a
different manufacturer (Samsung this time, I think). He tested the original
and said it passed. The guy I got the chips from has been extremely reliable
and I have bought memory through his company for years.
I will try the hardware diagnosis you recommended and try to find the link
(I got this computer second-hand through work). I am currently running only
two 512MB modules in the machine now and it has been stable except for maybe
one instance.
Thanks,
Mike

OT Airport, I'm stumped.

2011-05-10 Thread Jeffrey Engle
Yesterday, I went to my mothers house with my trusty iPad in hand ready to 
wow her with this new technology. When I got there, I needed to connect to a 
network and as her newer 2009 mac mini has 802.11 a,b,g,n capabilities, I 
quickly navigated to system preferences and turned on internet sharing . I 
then found that same network on the ipad and for all intent purposes, hooked to 
her now sweet network, (or at least this is what I thought) the ipad found the 
network?, gave me the appropriate bars in the upper left hand corner of my 
ipad screen BUT, no connection? no connection at all? No matter what I did, 
I couldn't get online with the ipad.

Now, at home I use an Airport extreme a,b,g,n base station to get online with 
this same ipad all the time. SO... I recreated the same scenario with my iMac 
at home as I did with her Mac Mini and you guessed it, same thing, I 
couldn't get online. The ipad saw the network, had the bars in the upper 
left corner, but no connection?

What am I doing wrong here? How do I connect at moms Mac Mini, or frankly ANY 
mac without an Airport Extreme base station? hmm... I'm stumped. TIA

Is your mothers mini and your iMac using their wired connection for internet 
connectivity? Internet sharing works by utilizing an unused network interface 
to offer for connections. OS X will happily let you share your internet 
connection port, and without some other way of connecting to the internet 
nothing happens. If your iPad is getting an IP address (and doesn't say 
'self-assigned') then this is the problem.

For web browsing, movie watching, and word processing, you wouldn't even

Re: I am forced to go Intel? Common rant, I guess.

PPC linux has terrible 3rd party support. Most versions of software say linux 
but don't specify that it's x86 or x64 only. You can pull it off though. You'll 
need Debian Linux as it has the best PPC support.

 Give some serious consideration to using ubuntu Linux on a used or otherwise

 If the OP wants Flash, Linux PPC is not the way to go. Last time I
 tried Ubuntu on a G5, Flash support was horrible. Had a lot of trouble
 with Bluetooth as well, though my Radeon 9700 was surprisingly
 functional.

I haven't encountered any problems with the final PPC Adobe Flash 
10.1.102.64. What problems have you encountered?


Web sites are starting not to work under Leopard and Firefox Camino 
2.0.7, Firefox 3.6.17, Safari 5.0.5.


Example?


Yea, specifics please.  This sounds more like an anti-intel complaint 
than anything productive.
