Problem solved. I swapped the 3.6 battery from my deceased G4 which got the bong back. That still didn't get it to reboot so I checked around and found that a USB hub was disconnected. I have a mess here. I'm trying to move to a newer Intel Mac Pro. I have 3 computers, 2 monitors, 2 keyboards and a lot of other stuff in a big pile. Mark M.

Re: Network Troubles
Thanks for the help. I just upgraded to tenfourfox 38.2.1 and it's noticeably slower. But there is other things going on because it wasn't too fast to begin with. The two slowest things on my network are most likely the G4 and a series 2 TiVo with a usb network adapter.

Re: HD remounts
Had a similar problem with an iMac at work and it also would go to sleep at very spontaneous moments, typing, drawing, whatever it didn't matter just went to sleep, hit any key and it would come back. When the HD icon disappeared off the desktop, it would cause the drive to disappear from Disk Utilities as well, I would wait a few minutes and it would re-mount itself. So I do a reinstall of the system (basically a Snow Leopard version of archive and install). So far that seems to have taken care of both issues. And for those about to ask yes I checked and reset all the energy and screen saver settings, Dumped appropriate prefs and so on before the reinstall.

You've got a bigger problem than a HD sleep issue because your iPod is definitely wrong behavior for certain, and it has nothing to do with software on your G5, it's a pure hardware issue.

Re: PowerMac G5 not waking from sleep?
FIXED. I did start to think it was time to ditch this PowerMac thinking the power supply was gone as the price of a new power supply is not worth it for such a old machine, but I thought I would try messing with the RAM again so I unplugged it removed the newest sticks of RAM and booted it up and its been fine ever since sleep works as it should. Also the RAM is still in warranty so I can return it. Fingers crossed all them failed boots didn't do any damage to the power supply.

Re: PowerMac G5 not waking from sleep?
It is a Late 2005 Dual 2.3 G5 with 4.5GB ram. No Extra cards By cuts out I mean it goes to sleep fine but soon as I hit a key to wake it up the red light comes on for a second then there is a click and the whole thing loses power, the fans don't even start spinning. After the failed attempt of waking the Mac when I try to boot I get a White and red light then click and off again no fans, so I unplug it for about 3 minutes plug back in and it boots normally.

I didn't see this as a requirement on Apple's site though they only have instructions for upgrading from SL, no other OS is mentioned. Somehow I missed that tidbit in the hoopla. There is a USB flash drive installation technique which works on many Hackintoshes (which I will euphemistically call Macks). I don't know about true Macs, however. I have NO true Macs, except G4 Macs, and Lion WILL NOT install nor run on a G4. The USB flash drive installation method for Macks runs under MacOS X (certainly Snow Leopard, although the scripts probably work equally well on earlier MacOS X versions, too, although I have not tested them). This installation method takes the downloaded application, Install Mac OS X Lion, as is downloaded from the Apple site, rips it apart and thereafter creates a bootable USB flash drive which can install Lion on many, if not most generic PCs. Sure, there are some gotchas, as the installation method strongly implies that the target PC be an Intel P35-based (i.e., 3-series) generic PC, but it has worked perfectly on my P55-based (i.e., 5-series) generic PC, although it has not yet work on my P67-based (i.e., 6-series) generic PC (a kernel panic which is presently being researched), and I would assume it would also work on a P45-based (i.e., 4-series) generic PC. I have been running Lion exclusively, on an almost 24/7 basis for nearly a month, and Server Lion for certainly more than a week or so, and with zero errors of any kind. Everything I have tested has worked, and has worked well. VERY well indeed. I have NEVER been forced to return to 10.6.8, except for correcting certain backup situations, and even those were completely optional on my part.

Re: Motherboard and Memory Questions on recovered DAFir
I've tried swapping the sticks and the empty slots change depending on where I move them. Thanks.

What you can do from here is swapping the modules in slot 2 and 3 and see how they are reported then. If slot 2 is reported empty after the swap, you know the module has got damaged somewhere in the process. If slot 3 is reported empty still, something could be wrong with the slot. That would be bad news. In that case, you would need a good motherboard. But I think I’ve read in other threads that RAM is an unfathomable thing sometimes, so it’s worth trying all 6 permutations of your 3 RAM modules. That is, once you are sure that all 3 are good. Albert’s suggestion is a good way to find that out. The main thing is to be absolutely systematic. It’s good to write down what you are doing so you can trace everything back. It’s also good to (temporarily) mark the modules so you can clearly identify them. -- 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.

Re: Motherboard and Memory Questions on recovered DAFir
I looked into the other machine and I found two sticks of Crucial 133 ram. So I did screw that up. But, it didn't make much difference. I looked at the ram in the DA and pulled out the two sticks that weren't marked 133 and put in the two sticks I found. The only change is that in slots J21 and J22 now have 133 ram and J23 shows empty. I think this is an improvement. Mark Murphy On Mar 14, 2011, at 9:55 AM, Albert Carter wrote: Mark, First thing I notice with this information is that the memory cannot possibly be all original. Just looking at the report on the RAM that is in the 2 populated slots you have 2 totally different speeds and latency types of memory. Granted I come from a PC World mostly and just dabble in Macs, but in a PC this would cause problems including it not being able to recognize the memory (Anyone know if this is true for Macs?). The other thing is you have 4 slots and if all are filled with 512MB you should be seeing 2 GB of total RAM. Since the computer is recognizing just 2 slots I would do the following. Remove all memory and then test 1 stick in all 4 slots and see if it is recognized in all 4 slots. Move onto the next stick and do the same. You can also record what the computer detects each individual stick as so you can have that for your records. I suspect you have 4 different types of RAM and that's confusing the computer.

Re: two macs plugged into the same usb hub?
I've got a printer plugged into my usb hub... I power that mac down, I get no printer on the other macs on my network? so can I plug another mac into that usb hub without problems? Hmmm. As I understand the term USB hub, it is a device that breaks a single host port into several subservient ports. The ones I have all have a cord that plugs into the host machine USB port and then devices plug into the hub ports. It seems to me that it is not designed to share the ports among several hosts as you would seem to be attempting. When you power down the host Mac, the ports become dead as the host is dead. Sounds like you need an ethernet printer sharing device if you want the printer to essentially stand alone regardless of which Mac is down at any time. I use a USB 2.0 Manual Switch Share Hub. It allows the use of two computers to share up to 4 USB devices, in my case an inkjet printer, a laser printer and a scanner. I found mine for about $15 two years ago. It has two buttons on top, one for each computer, push the appropriate button and that computer has access to the devices. One or both computers can be running. Access to USB devices simultaneously is not possible. I can print/scan with one computer then switch to the other no problems. No software/drivers needed, just plug it in (including power cord) and it works. Hope this helps.

Mysterious bump in transfer speed?
Hello, everybody I have an external 2.5 drive sitting inside my PM G4 plugged in through USB 2.0 (A PCI card) and normally, whenever I transfer things between the Main system HDD and the external 320GB HDD, the transfer speed is literally 500Kb/s. For some reason, yesterday, when I restarted, the External HDD hot-wired itself, and sped up the file transfer speed to 690MB/s for some strange reason. This only works between the main HDD and the external drive. One day I was copying a 100MB Mac OS 8 ISO from the main HDD to the External HDD and it took about 27 minutes. The next day, I restarted, and I copied the ISO of Kubuntu 10.04 from the network to the system's main HDD, and that took about 3 hours. I then copied the ISO from the HDD to the External drive, and it literally took 1.2 seconds. I verified the image and i'm not lying, something in there is hotwired. I was able to copy a DMG image of Leopard (Which BTW is 7.8GB in size!) for the use of my Virtual Q emulator system in about 8 seconds. So tell me wise users of Lemlist I didn't do anything to hotwire the machine to do this, and I was able to copy a 7.8GB file in 8 seconds... how is this possible through USB 2.0? -- Sent from Mark's Power Mac G4 Sawtooth PowerPC G4 7400 -- 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.

If this works out, I will have 720GB of HDD space on my PM G4 sawtooth. -- Sent from my Power Mac G4 Sawtooth -- 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.

Re: A G5 upgrade
If you need to, get a larger HDD. 320GB is good, but the more, the better. RAM upgrades is always an option, since more RAM memory can make a computer faster.

Re: Online backup ??
I never worry about third party stuff and other companies, ever. I just buy myself a 320GB 2.5 SATA drive, put it in a USB 2.0 SATA enclosure, and back up to there.

I need help with my video card! =(
Hello, I am Mark, the one who has recently successfully flashed an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with 128MB of RAM to a Mac, but there's some problems I've been having. Whenever I enter the time machine, the graphics are animated and everything moves as in i was in space, but then again a bunch of lines pop-up and the entire computer freezes. I click cancel to exit time machine, and most of the lines disappear, but some stay with the windows while other lines stay with the mouse. Also, whenever I plug this into my other Sawtooth Power Mac, the menu bar is transparent, which is something I really want. The other monitor is 1280x1024 and it's a 17 and that one has a clear menu bar, but my sawtooth i'm using right now doesn't have a clear menu bar. The one i am using right now has the flashed card and the monitor is a 23 Widescreen dell monitor at 1366x768. Is there a reason behind why my video card doesn't want to display the transparent bar: There are 2 possibilities i have in mind: 1) The sawtooth I originally used to flash the video card was the only machine that showed the transparent bar (I only have 2 AGP machines, the rest are PCI and PCIe) 2) maybe 1366x768 is not a supported resolution for the transparent bar. Any help is needed and very much appreciated!

Re: Online backup ??
CCC has served me pretty well since whenever i use time machine my video card draws lines all over the screen and freezes until I exit out of time machine. My suggestions are: 1) Never use online backup, because the storage volume could be thrown away or bought out by another company 2) Use a local disk or a network drive within your network to backup information, so you can take care of it and never have to worry about a company being bought out and moving to another country. 3) Delete old backups to save space unless you have certain files you need. Take out those files, and delete everything else. 4) When backing up, back it up to a Mac or a Linux computer, because if you back up to a PC, you'll wind up not being able to access the data next week through the network due to some blue screen of death crap. 5) Always buy the largest sized HDD your budget can allow, because backups can be sometimes larger in size than expected. If you can, be patient for the shipping process and look for an online deal. In fact, I found a 1TB external HDD from best buy online only for $99.99.

Re: Leopard is sloooooow to boot...
Leopard will add an extra 5 minutes to boot if you use an AGP PNY/Nvidia GeForce 6200 with 256MB of RAM.

Re: time machine back ups
On my sawtooth, I have a 320GB SATA (plugged into a USB 2.0 PCI Card) drive plugged in for my time machine backups, and I really have to constantly delete my backups, because I copied some of my data on it one day and I had around 290.8GB free. The next day I woke up, The drive only had 187.9GB free and it was full of backups! Here are some tips for time machine: 1) NEVER use a small sized drive for backups, or your drive will fill up quite quickly. My recommendation is at least what I have, 320GB. The more, the better. 2) Don't always delete old backups, because you might have an old copy of a file you really might need 3) Don't share the same drive as the backup drive on the network, so nobody can access your data unless you need to, or you trust them. 4) If the hard drive is large enough, try backing up copies of other computers who aren't so lucky as to having a large hard drive. -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- 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.

Re: Video Card Upgrade Info Please
It is actually an okay-ish card. if you want something that doesn't go slow, this is a good choice. Don't rely way too heavily on this, because it's only 128MB of video RAM. On a scale from 1 to 10, it is a 4. I am going to get my Nvidia GeForce 6200 GT card with 256MB of VRAM flashed to my sawtooth. Basically, the more memory you can get to work on the video graphics on your mac, the better. If you want regular and no intensive heavy tasks, then a 128MB video card would do fine. If you want something just twice as serious, get something like i did. On a scale from 1 to 10, my Nvidia GeForce 6200 performs like a 10, with all of the smooth graphics. (Don't forget people, a new MBP ships with 256MB of video RAM standard, so 256MB of Video RAM is good!)

Here are the errors i get. It simply does not see the sawtooth, or any computer running Mac OS X or their HDD volumes.

Also, Leopard can work on a G3 with a G4 upgrade, or if you want Leopard to work on a G3 processor, install tiger and mod it to make it look like leopard. Btw, one more thing. I am attempting to install Mac OS X Tiger on my iBook original clamshell (with no firewire), but so far, no luck. I hacked one of the files which had the list of bad machines, no luck.

I need help flashing a video card
Hello again, everyone.

New video card help...
Hello everyone, I need help on this one, so try your best. I recently picked up myself a nice deal on a new video card. for $60, I got myself an ATI Radeon 9550 AGP 8x with 256MB of DDR2 Video RAM. I am pretty much fed up with even my 64MB Nvidia Geforce 4 MX/MX440 ADC card from my dual 1.0Ghz quicksilver, because is still doesn't perform what I call Perfect under Leopard, so I got myself 4X the video card for this upgrade. I need to know, how can I get an ATI Radeon 9550 with 256MB of VRAm to work happily on a PM G4 Sawtooth? I don't want to do board soldering, I just ant a simple solution that works.

Re: iLife 08 on 933mhz PM QS
If you want to trick the installer into thinking you have a PowerPC G4 processor with some serious processor speed, follow this: (This is going to mod this info on open firmware until you restart telling the Mac OS X system that you have a faster processor when in reality you don't to fool the installer.) restart your mac, and press and hold COMMAND+OPTION+O+F If you have a single core PowerPC processor use these following commands: dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0 d# 20 encode-int clock-frequency property boot Those commands will fool the installer into thinking you have a 2.0Ghz PowerPC G4 processor. For PowerPC G5 processors or G3 processors, replace the line where it says dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0 to your processor type dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0 or to dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0, depending on your processor type. For dual core cpu's, type in this: dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@0 d# 25 encode-int clock-frequency property dev /cpus/PowerPC,g...@1 d# 25 encode-int clock-frequency property boot This command will fool the installer into thinking you have a dual core 2.5Ghz CPU.

Re: OSX is a 32-bit operating system?? is this true??
I've noticed something. The government keeps us out of all of their little secrets. 64-bit is not ever close to being new. The standard computer out there today in best buy is 64-bit, while back in the 1960's the world's first 64-bit computer was overly protected by the government and was operated by scientists or NASA. 128-bit supercomputers were out to the military, NASA and scientists in the 1980's. Where in the world is our STANDARD 128-bit computers (AltiVec doesn't count!)? I am not being stupid or just saying random crap here. Go do the research yourself and you'll find that i'm correct. If the government is 40 years ahead of us, they PROBABLY have 2048 bit or 1 gigabit systems and with processors running at 100Ghz with 1024 cores with hard drive sizes bigger than we could ever imagine. But then again, they could be focusing on th jet pack which was a failed invention in the 1960's due to it's 20 second fuel supply (yes, it's the one where you put it on your back and press the 2 red buttons to fly, not joking lol.). -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- 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.

Re: OMG I NEED HELP!
Problem solved: I re-installed Leopard. I checked the logs, it said it could not boot from leopard (the old copy of leopard i had before it crashed) because of a bad HDD. OMG really? So i went out and bought myself a new 80GB EIDE HDD. Btw, I did lose all of my old programs, but i can just download them. As for data backup, let's just say my 320GB SATA drive saved my butt. It had all my info and music fired up and ready to go. Aren't macs neat? You get this happening to you without the pain of losing data. I personally thank everyone who developed and made CCC and Time Machine for Mac OS X Leopard, because i truly owe you one for saving my trusty sawtooth from a barking snappy bad HDD. Well, lesson learned here. Don't wait for a HDD to fail! Back up your data every day if possible, and make sure everything is running smoothly. The funny thing is, is that the HDD had no signs of HDD failure until yesterday. I took it apart, and the entire disk was charred/scratched inside. How wonderful?

Re: G3 Lime iMac and 10.4 instal CD

Jaguar not booting up
i recently installed a fresh copy of Mac OS X jaguar on my system since my old copy of jaguar crashed (due to the 4GB memory switch) and it keeps on telling me to restart the system every time i boot up into jaguar. Any suggestions? leopard works fine, but i use jaguar because of the fact that it's a lighter Os than Leopard, and i use it for imovie and Q emulator. -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- 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.

Re: Will PowerPC be forever obsolete?
Here is that proof you wanted. Please, after you watch it, don't bug me about this subject ever again. I started what i thought would be an interesting conversation, but all i got is Fed up from other people annoying me with It's fake comments. Since iMovie wasn't compatible with the videos i recorded (I used my phone, it came out as .WMV files, grrr.) I uploaded into 5 parts. Well, enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkV7zqF3dB8 Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmDo-1u7fWo Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpYHLe6iLpo Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDdzP5SyzKs Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgQ66PkMowg Part 5 Again. thanks for watching this video. I hope you enjoy it. Have a nice day everybody! Also, like I said, you can post comments (not rude ones.) on the video sites, but, don't bother me about this subject after you see the video and proof, because this has gone far enough. I wanted to keep this a secret, but I guess that the present is more exciting to tell about something like this than the future. Alrighty then, have a nice day everybody! -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- 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.

Re: Will PowerPC be forever obsolete?
Like i said... it goes like this: I first pulled 4 1GB So-dimm low profile SDRAM modules from a Dell Poweredge 2500 server, and then updated my firmware version from 4.2.8f1 to 5.2.5f1. I restarted, and pressed and held COMMAND+OPTION+P+R. Warning, the PM G5 2003 firmware update only works on the PM G4 sawtooth as far as i know, and on all other sawtooth's i've tried, this is the only lucky one so far. I had to type in an OF command that temporarily wipes out the system info until restart in terminal. Then, once the G5 firmware has been applied and i pressed COMMAND+OPTION+P+R during restart, I then shut it off. I plugged in the 4 1GB Low profile modules, and it started up. I had the Question mark over the folder icon flashing, So I installed the lightest version of Mac OS X that the Application can run on, Mac OS X Jaguar. I installed Q emulator, emulated the (PC only) intel architecture, and I inserted the Boot 132CD. I then took it out, turned everything off in the Jaguar (host) system including finder, and inserted the install disk for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.) I put the guest OS (the one in the emulator) at full screen, and from there, isnatlled Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and since then, updated it to Mac OS X 10.6.3, or build 10D578. -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- 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.

Re: Will PowerPC be forever obsolete?
It's simple. I donot have 10.6.3 on the machine itself. I have it installed as a Virtual system inside an emulation program. You see, the 'flaw you considered wasn't actually a flaw. The reason why it says Mac OS X 10.6.3 and powerPC G4 @400mhz in the same window, is because i took the system info from the HOST OS, not the guest OS specs. For anyone who didn't realize that, think again and look again. -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- 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.
