Maybe off topic?

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello All,

I have been running a G5 2.5 Ghz PPC Dualie with 10.5.8 using wireless 
internet through a Linksys WRT54G router for several years.


Now the wife is worried about someone stealing our wifi.

How do I set up the router to prevent this .. I know it is some sort of 
password but I can not seem to find the staring point to begin the process.


Thanks!!

Dan

Hi Dan,
Before giving up on it, pull the battery again, and reset the motherboard by
pressing the PMU button (good solid 3-5" single push).

Done for 20 seconds

I recall when one did this on older G4s that resetting the board worked best by 
unplugging the power cord, unplugging the PSU from the board, yanking the 
battery, pressing the reset button, then waiting (at least) 10-15 minutes 
before reassembling.

Did for 15 minutes ... no joy!!

When I press the power button above the MDDs it glows as long as I hold 
it but no sound whatsoever ... no boing, no HDs spinning up, no CD/DVD 
drives resetting ... nothing.

Just happened to a QuickSilver recently (the dead part); glad I remembered this 
trick.
HTH,
Dana


Wits end coming up!!

By "Unplugging", do you only mean from the power source, and maybe not 
the ethernet / phone line?

Actually I do not remember ... I was in a hurry!!
The phone line can fry a computer, too ... I think ... I believe that 
is what happened to me awhile ago. Even though my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz 
computer came back on, it was erratic and also a connected USB Scanner 
(Nikon 5000ED), connected to another computer, but on the ethernet 
hardwired line, needed a new circuit board.

That is above my pay grade ... easier to just get a "new" computer!

New mobo "fixed" the QS ...

Big Ouch.

Dead/dying pram battery. Pull power plug, pull battery, press and hold 
cuda reset switch for about 5 seconds, plug power in but leave battery 
out and hit power. See if that doesnt bring it to life. If it does, 
your battery is the culprit.

Strange Behavior w/G5 and iMovie

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello All,

Been years since I posted here ... no problems with my G5 2.5 dualie 
with 4 GB RAM running OS 10.5.8 and iMovie 7.1.4 until NOW.


I uploaded a short movie consisting of 5 scenes. Every time I try and 
import it to iMovie it "unexpectedly quits".  I have tried importing it 
3 times and each time it quits.


I have NO IDEA as to what is wrong. Is there some incompatibility issue 
with 10.5.8 and 7.1.4 that I am unaware of? Surely I have enough power 
and ram to handle this program??


Thank you,

Dan

Baby, dual 2.5 Ghz, G5, 4 GB RAM, 1.2 TB Memory, running OS 10.5.8 and 
Mozilla 3.6.6,  has been percolating nicely now for a couple of years, 
but Monday something weird happened ... at least weird to me.


I refreshed my home page on Mozilla ... and when it reappeared the page 
was smaller. I went into view and zoomed in sufficiently for my needs 
but when I surfed away and came back I had to change the view again ... 
and again ... and again! Now this has rapidly become a chore for old eyes!!

Hi,
 
I wanted to find out some information on a Power Mac G5 2.5 DP. I'm slightly confused on this. Someone is selling theirs. I read on EveryMac that these have the Liquid Cooling (that seems to be problematic) but the current owner says the CPUs are both air cooled. Is there something I am missing? Also, they said an Apple Genius said the logic board is going and needs to be replaced (didn't specifically state what the problem is). They are selling this for $100 and all in all doesn't seem like a bad deal, however I'm not sure if I could find a new logicboard and if I can how much it would cost. Any ideas?
 
Thank You,

Albertl



All sounds a little fishy to me. 2.5 is liquid cooled maybe it's a 2.3. Also a logic 
board starting to go?? Well a logic board isn't hard to get or hard to replace. The 
processor is easy to replace also. I saw 2.7 liquid cooled unit for $300.00 in super 
shape. If the machine is a "cream puff" the price is greatI would ask for the 
serial number to be sure what you're looking at.

Power Macintosh G5 (June 2004)

   * Got a G3, G4, or G5 Power Mac? Join LEM's G-List Group.

Overview

Less than a year after unveiling the original Power Mac G5, Apple 
released a new line of G5 models, each with dual processors and an 8x 
SuperDrive.


As before, the entry level model uses 64-bit PCI slots and only supports 
up to 4 GB of RAM vs. PCI-X slots and an 8 GB RAM ceiling in the faster G5s.


The motherboard architecture uses HyperTransport technology. System 
memory is so fast (400 MHz on a 900 MHz to 1.25 GHz bus) that Apple 
doesn't bother with a level 3 cache.


A headphone jack, USB 2.0 port, and FireWire port are located on the 
front of the G5 for easy access.


*The G5 uses an aluminum enclosure that's vented in the front and back. 
The case includes four thermal zones and 9 fans to handle cooling, each 
independently controlled for speed. The 2.5 GHz model incorporates a 
liquid cooling system to keep the CPU from overheating.

Just install Firefox. It'll find your Netscape bookmarks automagically.

Alternatively you can export your bookmarks from Netscape, and then 
import them into Firefox; both programs use similar Bookmarks

same...every version of Netscape post version 4.5 has been a rebranded

Sure, Insert your install disk, go to Disk Utilities, select the drive 
you want to erase, erase, partition if you like and then restart.

You can also copy what you want to save from the 6GB to the 40GB and 
then erase it. or you can just take everything to the trash and empty.

I have had my G5 2.5 Ghz dualie wit 4 GBRAM running 10.5.8 less than a 
year so its' quirks are new to me. However when I try to view TV 
programs on Fancast or MSNBC the fans really take off.

Is this normal operation?

iMovie / iDVD?

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello,

I am running a G5 2.5Ghz dualie with 4GB RAM, 2 x 320 GB HDD and using 
10.4.11.

I am currently using iMovie 5.0.2 and iDVD 5.0.1 with updates.

I have edited my video in iMovie, with titles included. Now I want to 
make a DVD to play on TV.

How do I get the iMovie to iDVD  WITHOUT all the extra garbage that iDVD 
wants to put on it?  This is a 10 minute movie and all I want to do is 
put JUST WHAT I HAVE EDITED on a DVD!!

I did this about a year ago but do not remember how I did it 
Sometimers strikes again!!

Upgrading an MDD

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello All,

I wanted to upgrade my children's (my old) G4 MDD 1.25 Dualie, 2 GB RAM, 
OS10.5.4 to the 1.42 Ghz Dual processors and heat sink.

The buss speed is 167 so I should have had no problems.

However, when I swapped the processors, heat sinks (big brass one), 
pressed the cuda button and then powered up and I get the "boing" but 
the monitor displays nothing. I tried again and still the same, I have tried 
using CMD + OPT + P + R and I do get the gray Apple but NO spinning wheel. I 
again put everything back as it was and it started just fine and continues to 
run.

I still do not know what I am overlooking?

Suggestions, ideas, comments!!

G4 MDD?

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello All and Lady Witt,

I am wanting to upgrade my children's (my old) G4 MDD 1.25 Dualie, 2 GB 
RAM, 3 HD, OS10.5.4 to the 1.42 Ghz Dual processors and heat sink.

The buss speed is 167 so I should have had no problems.

However, when I swapped the processors, heat sinks (big brass one), 
pressed the cuda button and then powered up and I got the "boing" but 
the monitor did not display anything. I tried again and still the same, 
I then put everything back as it was and it started just fine and is 
running now.

What did I get wrong??

Exactamondo! But instead of a partition I am getting the final use of an 
old, small, and otherwise wasted HDD that in this configuration should 
probably last indefinitely and will cause no harm when it ultimately fails.

I also cross post to get the maximum response to my questions. If 
everyone read the same lists then there would be no need for other 
lists. I watch CNN, MSNBC, CBS News, and sometimes FOX News for comic 
relief - then I make up my own mind and draw my own conclusions.

Hello,

On my kids MDD dualie 1.25 / 2 - GB RAM / 2 - 120 GB HDD + 1 - 3 GB HDD 
/ OS 10.5.4.

I would like to set the computer up so that I do not need to install the 
OS disk to run Disk Utilities.

EXACTLY what is the minimum I need to install on the 3GB HDD to allow it 
to be a startup disk?

Thank you,

HELP!!! Administrator deterioration

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello All,

What began as a simple Dashboard / Widgets question has rapidly 
deteriorated into a full blow catastrophe that I have 1) never heard of, 
2) never encountered before (otherwise I could solve it myself) and 3) 
see no workable or work-around solution to.

My daughter, in an attempt to bypass parental controls, somehow was able 
to remove or change my account from ADMINISTRATOR to STANDARD and I can 
not get in to make ANY changes except to change the password which it 
will accept until I try and make a change and then it tells me that I am 
not an administrator.

When I type in the correct password, I know its the correct password 
because I know the answer to the clue, it says that only an 
administrator can get in.  I checked the Accounts in SP and I am a 
Standard Account with no privileges.

I can not even reload the OS to start over because it keeps asking for 
the same password, or whichever password I change it to and then tells 
me I am NOT an Administrator.

I have tried starting in safe mode but I am still unable to make any 
changes.

Frustration levels are rising!

Widgets?

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello All,

I gave my kids my old G4 MDD 2GB RAM OS 10.5.4 when I upgraded and now 
for some reason unknown to me Dashboard has ceased to function ... or is

Airport Extreme Card?

[DAN A CURRIE]

Hello All,

I have upgraded to a G5 2.5 Dualie w/ 4GB RAM / 2 -320 GB HD’s and a 500 
GB external HD / NETSCAPE 9.0.0.6 / OS X.5.4.

I am currently connected to the internet with a Linksys WRT54G Wireless 
Router, however the G5 is using a wired port connection as it has no 
Airport Card.

Someone above my pay grade please advise on the advantages of and which 
type of card to buy / install.

Thank you,

Dan II

RAM ?

[Dan A. Currie]

Hello All,

I was looking around eBay for some RAM for a G5 2.5 dualie and it seems 
that RAM for the G5's is processor specific ... or is that my imagination?

I saw RAM listed as - PM dual core 1.8, PM dual core 2.0, PM dual core 
2.3, etc.

What's up?

Thanks,

My thoughts exactly this fine morning.  When / if I get a G5 then I can 
firewire what I want to keep to it and scrub the HDS's on the MDD and 
"begin again"!

Then I can prune as I go and get a "lean, mean fighting MAChine" for the 
kids.

Thanks to ALL for the help and inspiration.

NO ... only on the 6GB at the end of the chain.

Maybe I should have prefaced this mess saying that what I was trying to 
do was to have three (3) OS on the same MAC but 1 each on the three 
drives. An OS9.2 drive, an OS10.4 , and an OS10.5 drive. The 10.5 is 
mine to try out new software, the 10.4 is for the son and daughter, and 
the 9.2 is for the son for older software and games that were 
discontinued by 10.4.

Maybe I should have just partitioned the 200GB into a 9.2, 10.4 and 10.5 
partitions but I thought it would be easier and *safer* to have an OS on 
each HDD.

I ran OS9.2 and Tiger together, then I took the plunge and went commando 
with only Tiger, now I am running Tiger and Leopard together but am 
about to get a G5 ... I hope and am going to give this to the kids ... 
they have just about worn out their Beige G3's.

Scrubbed the HDD and installed Tiger, later I added Leopard on another

Tried this ... evidently it is an Atheistic drive ... still do not boot, 
also tried moving it up the food chain to the number 2 slot and using

When I try to boot up OS9.2 going through SP, it tries very hard to find 
OS9.2 - the old file folder is there flashing from the Picasso to ? mark 
about 5 or 6 times then it "gives up" and goes to 10.5.

Will try the Option Key next.

Perhaps the 6GB is TOO far down the tree? I asked about that before  ... 
I thought.

Other thoughts?

Up until just over a year ago this was a MAC OS9.2 machine, then I 
upgraded to 10.4 -11 and now to 10.5.5.

When I try to boot up OS9.2 going through SP, it tries very hard to find 
OS9.2 - the old file folder is there flashing from the Picasso to ? mark

... on a G4 MDD

[Dan A. Currie]

Hello All and Dan,

Here is what I have  - a G4 MDD DUAL 1.25 MHz / 2 GB RAM / NETSCAPE 
9.0.0.6,  1 -120 GB (OS10.5), 1 - 200 GB (OS10.4), 1- 120GB and 1 - 6GB 
(OS9.2) HDD's in that order.

When I go to Startup Disk in System Preferences all 3 OS's are there on 
their respective HDs but when I select OS9.2 and then click RESTART the 
G4 begins a normal restart, looks for OS9.2 ... CAN NOT FIND IT ... and 
restarts in OS10.5.

Undoubtedly I have done something wrong ... but what I do not know.

In System Profiler the ATA Device Tree looks like this -

ATA Bus
WDC AC66200H
STE3120024A
ATA Bus
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-107D
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-116D
ATA Bus
WDC WD1200JB-00FUAO
WDC WD2000BB-00FTAO

The little 6GB has three settings  - MASTER, SLAVE and SPECIAL.

I have it set for SLAVE.

Solutions and advice appreciated?!?

Dan Currie

Extra HDD

[Dan A. Currie]

Hello All,

Moving on from my G5 problems ... a new question.

I have an old but very functioning 6GB HDD that I would like to install 
in my G4 MDD DUAL 1.25 MHz / 2 GB RAM / 2 -120 GB and 1 - 200 GB HD / 
NETSCAPE 9.0.0.6 / OS X 10.5

I want to install OS 9.2 on it so that my son can still use some of the 
older MAC software.

Any particular place or order to install in the case?

Should the jumpers be set to MASTER or SLAVE since it will have an OS on it?

General advice accepted!!

TIA,

Dan Currie

I thought about that ... and where it will be located in my office it 
will not be seen at all ... but that is not what I purchased and I may 
want to sell it or "trade up" sometime in the future and either way its 
value is significantly reduced.

I am hoping UPS, the Seller, or eBay Protection will make it good ... 
and SOON!!

Thanks to ALL and UPS has agreed to pick it up tomorrow and inspect it.  
The seller is also in contact with me. He said that he could "replace 
the legs" but that was before I sent him the pics ... now I think that 
he is rethinking his options when I mentioned that I was concerned about 
shock damage from the impact.

BTW, Kyle, send me your pics ... I want to see my twin!!

I will keep the group updated about the outcome.

Fastest browser ... I don't know. I have tried iCab, Firefox, and Safari 
but I always return to my favorite. Netscape. I have been using Netscape 
since version 2.something and have now been using 9.0.0.6 for years and

Startup Partition

[Dan A. Currie]

Hello All,

I have read this LEM article about partitioning

http://lowendmac.com/tech/partition.shtml

but it doesn't quite answer my question.

I have 3 HDD in my G4 and would like to be able to clean them using Disk 
Utility without always inserting the OSX Disk.

I know that I create a small partition on one of the other drives but 
EXACTLY what do I install on it so that I can use it as a Start up Disk 
for Disk Utilities.

Dual Monitors?

[Dan A. Currie]

Hello All.

I am driving an G4 MDD DUAL 1.25 MHz / 2 GB RAM / 2 -120 GB and 1 - 200 
GB HD / NETSCAPE 9.0.0.6 / OS X 10.5 and an Apple 17" LCD display.

I want to get another one of these LCD monitors and run dual displays 
... how do I connect them to the MDD?

Do I get an adapter?  Do I get another ATI Radeo 9000 PRO card?

Never tried or done this before.

Help!!

For $2.00 more get the Pioneer, it is plug and play and works nicely ... 
I have both a DVR -116 and a DVR-107 in my MDD.

Let me know how that works for you. I was thinking along similar lines 
with my old Beige G3.

I agree wholeheartedly!! Apple tried it once without Jobs and almost 
sank into oblivion. Jobs IS unique to his company ... like Ford and 
Edison and Disney ... innovators and dreamers who have a vision of what 
they want but can not quite explain that vision to others.

Someone once said that for several years after Disney died that his 
followers did NOT change a thing ... Disney was ALL about change and 
innovation.

If you want the same old recycled garbage year after year just watch as 
MicroSoft moves from XP to Vista to the next unnamed OS debacle. SSDD

Not everything Jobs has done has been a success, nor was Fords, Edison 
or Disney, but I can tell you that people always wanted to know what was 
their next big thing.

I hope Jobs will live long and prosper so that all of us Mac Fans and 
Fanatics can enjoy and use the fruit of his ideas and labors. The 
thought of a world without Macs would be  too horrible to contemplate.

OS9, OS X and Partitioning

[Dan A. Currie]

Hello All,

I will be giving my son my G4 MDD dual 1.25 and it will have a 160GB HDD.

I want to install OS9.2 and OSX 10.4.11 or if possible OSX 10.5 on the HDD.

I know there is a rule about partitioning the HDD so that both drives 
can be installed ... but I can not for the life of me remember what it 
was!

Something about 9 being installed on a smaller partition @%^%$#$...@!!

And there was another rule about the MDD's not recognizing all of a HDD 
above a certain ?? number.

Help would be greatly appreciated,

Dan Currie

I agree about the size but you might want to reformat for possible OSX 
installation at a later date. I think the 1st partition has to be 
greater than 9GB.

Recheck your partitioning and installation, possibly do a Clean Install 
and try again. BTW wat is your G3?

Exactly how large is the new drive? You might want to partition it and 
make the 1st partition about 10GB and divide the test. Mine has HD, 
Documents, Utilities and Storage.
