Hey thanks for your advice. Replaced Pram Battery, and Repaired Permissions, 
and thus far it seems that things are working. Thanks again.

I set up an eMac for a friend, and it has a similar problem. With OS 10.4.11 
and hibernation enabled, my friend would press the Power button on the side to 
hibernate the eMac, and then press it again later to revive it to its prior 
state, but each time the Airport connection drops and has to be manually 
restarted by changing Airport in the Menu Bar to "Off" and then back to "On" 
again. Never could figure out a solution, but I didn't try very hard.

Losing time is almost always the PRAM battery.

They are nominally 3.6 volts, but brand new ones will usually measure 3.68
volts, and will stay that way possibly for years.

These batteries are essentially DEAD when the voltage measures 3.2 volts,
or below.

Some Macs will work with the battery as low as 3.0 volts, but that is
never guaranteed.

Losing your WiFi can also be due to a weak link to your router.

If/when the link is weak, the connection will be refused, and you may be
asked to re-submit your WPA parameters, even if those are already in your
keychain.

It is possible for the link to be detected, but then it is too weak to go
through the authentication process, which requires that your keychain info
matches the router info.

Hey what are you willing to pay? I can get a few of them. Any idea which one?

let me know what you want and how much. These will be used in good condition.

[Mama Haymes]

Thanks for your input. I believe you are right, and I've got 10 more of these 
machines in here, I want to switch out on one of those, but the batteries 
probably need replacing as well. They are all around the same age, older. 
Thanks

I would delete any networks/locations under network preferences and 
create a new location reboot and that should have you set.  Having to 
reset date and time I would hit the "go" drop down menu in finder and 
click "go to folder" should bring up a text box and type "private/etc/" 
this will bring up a bunch of folders.  Locate the folder "localtime" 
move it to the trash and delete your trash contents then open time and 
date preferences and select your local time reboot and you should be set
 up.  As the other post mentions this is most likely a dead PRAM battery
 but try these they might work for you.  I have to do the time and date 
dealio before and many other problems from OSX to linux distros (still much 
less then winblows:) and I 
will tell you GOOGLE is you BEST FRIEND!  wish you the best.

Download the manual for that model JetDirect and find out how to reset it 
entirely to default settings. That usually works when it won't take an IP 
address entered manually.

First find out the IP address of the printer, then go to 
Applications/Utilities/Network Utility. Launch Network Utility and you will see 
a Ping tab at the top. Click the Ping tab, enter the IP address of the printer 
and click "Ping."

I kind of thought of changing the battery before you mentioned it, but I will

No video is often a sign of dead PRAM battery.  Try doing a PRAM ZAP (hold down 
Apple-Option-P-R after the bootup chime).  This can get around a dead PRAM 
temporarily.

you are correct. This is a Apple Flat panel 15" monitor, the monitor cable 
connects to the back of the G5, and there are no seperate cables. I just tried 
to reseat the video card and same results- the white light on the G5 blinks 
every 7 seconds along with the yellow light on the monitor.

Do you mean the power runs from the G5 to the monitor? If there's no
separate power cable on the monitor, then you're using an ADC monitor,
which would mean the display would have to be an Apple monitor. Is
that right?

Hey everyone, sorry it took me a whole day to get back to the
discussion.  So, to elaborate further on the system in question, I got
it on an auction site as "parts or repair" --the case was listed as in
good shape.  When I got it yesterday through the USPS, it looked like
it had been dropped, the seller didn't package it very well, and so
the feet on one side of the case were broken at the rivets...I was a
little skeptical of it working...
My 13 and 11 year old boys were rubbing their hands together to see if
it would work(mouths watering, so to speak).  I let them at it, at
they had it up and running with a firewire drive.  My older son
couldn't tell for sure if the superdrive was working or not, so he put
an old dvd drive in, which worked fine.
I got a new 1Tb hard drive in this afternoon before I left for work,
so I let it install 10.4, and the boys were going to fiddle around
with it for me.
It has a radeon 9600 pro card, it was the first edition(?) 1.8 g5 with
the pci-x slots, I just got a couple of 512 sticks of ram, in case it
didn't work, and an adc display.

So I guess for now, it's up and running.  Other than the case being
beaten(!) up (hopefully nothing else is fractured) it seems to be
running ok.  Not bad for 49 bucks+shipping...  Although in retrospect,
I guess I should have asked the seller to be generous on the
packaging.

I would like to convert some mini-dv movies to dvd, anyone have any
preferences for software other than ProTools?

Any suggestions for other software for a cheapskate?
Thanks all.
Jason

Re: G5 powermac 1.8 single issues

[Mama Haymes]

Ok I will try to reseat the video card. I believe this is on a DVI Connector 
because I'm using a 15" flat panel display. Yea and there is no grey screen at 
all. The monitor is powered on automatically by the CPU.

The fan behavior indicates that the operating system is not loading.
You should at least get a gray screen with a flashing folder
indicating that the machine can't find an OS. This could be several
things; the first thing that pops into my head is that you may have a
bad video card. Have you reseated the video card? Do you have an ADC
monitor and video card, or are you using a VGA or DVI connector?

Hey wipe it down real good, and take a cloth with water (damp) and clean the 
soda off, then let it dry good. It should work fine.

I don't believe that US law allows one to file suit against a keyboard. ;-)
