iMac G4 800, OS X Panther vs Tiger

[Mullin9]

iMac G4 800, one that is made in 2002, it came with Mac OS 10.2.4
it have 256 MB RAM, I added 512 MB RAM
for the Total of 768 MB RAM.
Should I use OS X.3 Panther (32 bit), the one that i already have.
 or X.4.11 Tiger (64 bit)?
Tiger came in the G5 (64 Bit) era. whereas
Panther came in later G4 (32 bit) era when G5 is emerging.
i like to get later OS, but not a Heavy one, a 64 Bit OS on a 32 Bit
G4.

I have 10.3 DVD

iMac G5 isight, frequent Kernal Panics, inspite reinstalled OS Tiger

[Mullin9]

 I have an iMac G5 iSight , 1.9 GHz CPU, Mac OS 10.4.11
new 500 GHz HDD as of Nov 15 2009
I have frequent Kernel Panics, OS freeze, and intermitted "dead "
keyboard and mouse, I sought to fix the KP, by re installing the
10.4.2 restore OS tiger, and doing the OS update to 10.4 11
My OS is recently re-installed, but I still have freezes, and KPs.
I even have one during Bootup.

What causes the frequent KP, despite a new HDD, and reinstalled OS.?

just put in another 512 RAM, and your OS will Install, It should.

Re: New HDD for iMac G5 iSight 1.9 GHz, fall of 2005 model

[Mullin9]

I found the culprit

the new 500 GB Seagate HDD, that have just the SATA ribbon, & the
Power Ribbon,
seemed to be dropped, while shipping, keeping the platters from
spinning

i tested the other HDD (160 GB Maxter HDD) with the tiny 4 pin
connector , that's on the bottom of the HDD toward the other end.
with the tiny 4 pin connector, left unplugged, and my iMac iSight
booted right up, with just the Power/SATA ribbon connected.

New HDD for iMac G5 iSight 1.9 GHz, fall of 2005 model

[Mullin9]

I bought a new Seagate SATA 500G HDD, in place of
Maxter SATA 160 G HDD,

the 160 GB Maxter HDD have the SATA ribbon, the Power Ribbon,
and a tiny 4 pin  ribbon on the bottom of the HDD toward the other
end.

the 500 GB Seagate HDD have the SATA ribbon, the Power Ribbon,
but not the 4 pin  ribbon on the bottom of the HDD toward the other
end.

do i need the tiny 4 pin connector , that's on the bottom of the HDD

I was Promised a G5 running at 3+ GHz, but my Fastest PPC tower is
2.7GHz DP, I had to settle for a G4 PowerBook 1.67GHZ, for the lack of
any G5 PowerBook.

But my 4-Core Mac Pro is 3.2 GHz, and my Book is 2.25 GHz, though they
are not PPC.

Return to PowerPC?

[Mullin9]

Will Apple return to PPC processors?
I experienced smoother Game Graphics on a 2 GHz G5 Mac with 256 MB of
VRAM,
than I had on a 2 GHz Intel Mac,  with 256 MB of VRAM,
both my Macs have 2 GB of RAM.

Dear sir
Do anyone make a casing that looks like an oversized iMac G4, yet
accept Powermac G5 logic board, the one that have the LCD that pivot,
but the base is larger to accept the lobo from a G5 tower, but it's
still round, or at least round-cornered.?

thank you

Installing music to iPod shuffle Gen 2. manually

[Mullin9]

I have a Mac Using OS 10.4.11, and iTunes 4.1,
Can I manually install Music by drag/dropping songs from the iTunes
window to the iPod icon?
I don't have broadband, or the latest iTunes, just the version 4.1.
I open iTunes, I put in a Music CD, and imported songs, to the
Library, and about a dozen
tracks (songs) shows up in library, can I drag & drop the songs into
the iPod Shuffle Gen 2?

If an iMac is PPC G5, not intel, I'll stick with 10.4.8 or newer , nut
not 10.5 Leopard,
But if an iMac is intel, not PPC G5, I'll go for 10.5 Leopard,
preferably 10.5.5 or newer.

My G5 ran smoothly on 10.4.x Tiger, but it was slow on 10.5.x Leopard.

on a iBook G4 933mhz, Tiger will run comfortably, Leopard will run,
but real slowwwly.
especially with just 256 MB RAM

USB to Firewire conversion

[Mullin9]

I Have a USB 2.0 external Hard drive. but is real slow
on the older USB 1.1

I found the link for USB to Firewire conversion
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9855

Will it work on my firewire port.
I want to use my FW 400 rather than USB 1.1  (the slow one)
for my USB 2.0 external Hard drive

 will it work? It'll be much faster.
thank you

I've formatted the iPod HDD
now I have a folder with a "!" triangle

Do I need a iPod software CD, to re-install the iPod Software?
or Can I do it with just iTunes?

2002 iMac Flat Panel, boot in OS 9.2.2, not 9.2.1

2002 iMac Flat Panel, boot in OS 9.2.2, not 9.2.1
While it boots in OS 9.2.2, and boots in OS 9.2.1 CD install with OS
9.2.2 update,
it can't do the OS 9.2.1 install (this Computer is'nt supported), but
it'll do the 9.2.2 update from the OS 9.2.1,

Do you have the Mac OS 9.2.2 install CD,
NOT the OS 9.2.1 CD with OS 9.2.2 update,?
 thank you.
or a firmware that allows OS 9.2.1 booting and installing.?

the Second CPU will double the speed of your Mac,
but the slower Frontside Bus (100 MHz vs 133MHz) is the slower
bottleneck, your data will have to squeeze through.
a 533MHZ G4 Single PowerMac with a 133MHZ bus, is great for one/few
programs.
but a 500MHZ G4 Dual PowerMac with a 100MHZ bus, is decent for many
programs,
but the faster Frontside Bus will speed up the mac,
another help is more RAM, preferable 1GB or more.
another help would be a APG video card with 128 / 256 MB VRAM. more
VRAM is faster.

You cannot force the G3 to format it's HDD, all you can do is install
an Mac OS install CD,
reboot the computer, hold the "C" key, and format the HDD from the
install CD, and install the fresh OS into the computer.

Is there's an external 2.5" Hard Drive that is Bus-Powered, using the
Ethernet, not the FW400?
or at least a 3.5" version that powers off a power cord?

I like to boot up a Beige G3, from an external 2.5" Hard Drive, using
the Ethernet.
the OS 8.6 is on the ethernet drive.

Booting old Macs, using just an ethernet.

[Mullin9]

Booting old Macs, using just an ethernet.
I have a Beige G3 Powermac, without a working CDROM,
no FW 400, but a freshly installed HDD,
and a G4 running OS 9, can I boot (net boot) a beige G3 off an OS 9
running on a G4, using just the ethernet.?

Target mode is fine for 2 Macs, only if you have FW on both of them.

One project i’ve seen done is an ‘all-in-one’ Mac using a CRT monitor
casing. it's done by  removing the actual tube and replacing it with
the LCD screen from a dead ibook. a Motherboard/CPU from a shell
broken G4 Quicksilver, HDD , DVD RWs etc could then all be mounted
internal to the CRT case, behind the LCD,
i have to admit, some of the crt cases i’ve seen have looked really
nice (mainly the beige).
alternatively, from the new crt monitors i’ve had open, there is
usually a bit of free space. how about mounting a Mac mini board in
the crt casing?

Not exactly true

You must have at least 1  OS 9 "System Folder" in your Mac, for it to
have something to use for the Classic Environment.

if you delete an OS 9 "System Folder" that have a faint "X" on it, It
will use any remaining OS 9 "System Folder"s for Classic Environment,
but first asks you for a permission to Enable it, for it's use as the
Classic Environment.

I found TomeViewer, but it's just a tool to install individual files,
not to edit Tomes, much less build them, I'm looking for the same OS 9
tools, used by Apple to make Install Tomes for install CDs.

Thank you

Running a G4 Mac, off Open Firmware.

[Mullin9]

Is it possible to run a G4 Mac, without an OS, or a working HDD, by
using "Open Firmware"?
I did a few things
"open cd" open the CD tray.
"macboot" boots up the Mac.

can I use the "Open Firmware" as an OS, the way I used
text (command line) linux years ago.?

Thank You

Backing up "users" without backing up the whole OS X Boot volume

[Mullin9]

I would to make a Mac OS X volume, but just enough of it to back up my
setting, and my "user" name to log on, not a whole Boot disk,
and have it on my USB jump disk, and have just enough of "System" and
"Finder" for the "Migration Assistant" to see it as an OS X to migrate
my "User"  from.

So if l buy a new Mac, or I get a new Hard Drive, I could migrate my
"User" from the USB thumb drive, rather than relying on a Hard drive.

Go for it, 2 GB of RAM would do it, I also have an eMac with Leopord
on it, When I put a 2GB RAM Stick in it, it's very responsive, but
with the 2nd  2GB RAM Sticks, it screams.
