Disappearing Ram in Powerbook G4 15inch
Not sure what's happening, but I had two profiles set up on my Powerbook G4 15", and for some reason after switching to the other user, I noticed that the applications folder had no folders in it. I thought that maybe my daughter did something funny, but then I open "About this Mac and saw that there is only 1gig of Ram showing. So what happened to the other 1 gig stick of Ram? What causes that and is it common? How do I fix this? -- 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.

Emac issues and OSX 10.5.8 and Airport Extreme Card
This adds on to my last post- Not only am I not able to keep the Airport Extreme card active once I reboot the system, but I'm having to reset the date and time every time I reboot the system as well. I do believe it has something to do with the keychain, but I need to know how to get the computer to ask if I wish to include this in the keychain because it will not do this. Please help with these issues. Thanks -- 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.

G5 powermac 1.8 single issues
i just purchased a g5, 1.8 as well and my problem is simualar to a past post but different. The machine came with no hard drive, so I'm booting from a external 60 gig FireWire drive. The system and the monitor are communicating because every 7 seconds the yellow light on the monitor blinks when the whtie light on front of the CPU blinks, but there is no video from the monitor. I tried reseating the ram, and that seem not to have any affect. Also I noticed the longer the system was powered on i could hear a fan getting louder and louder, where I thought the machine was getting ready to take off like a jet engine or something. Questions- why am I not seeing video, and upon engaging the button on front of the system, it never chimes, just powers on and sits there. So what's up ? -- 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.

Power Mac G5, and installing OSX 10.5 on external HD
I just recently got a Power Mac G5, and the hard drive is missing. So my idea is to take a external 60gig drive that I have (with Firewire 400) and install OSX 10.5 to be able to test this system. The problem that I'm having is the installation. What I'm doing is loading the OSX disk on a Powerbook and after the software examines the disk, it tells me that I can't install on this disk until I go to Disk Utility to partician the disk. After doing that it still will not allow me to install the operating system on the disk. So I need some help with this one. The disk was set up as Fat something, but I changed it to Journaled to Partician it. Does that make any difference? -- 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.

Running Final Cut Pro Studio 3 on a Power PC
According to Apple it is not possible to run Final Cut Studio 3 on a Power PC (G4 or G5), but it will run on a MacBook and MacPro. I have a friend in Detroit who has a MacBook Pro and she has OSX 10.5.8 installed, and she says that FCS2 runs fine. I'm still using a Powerbook 1.67 and G5's because It's not feasible to invest in OSX 10.6 and FSC3 yet. Some one please clear this up for me. -- 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.
