Re: More Strange Stuff On A G5 iMac
It is a 2005 iMac g5 (ALS). It should have 3 Phillips screws on the bottom. If it does, open it and look for signs of leakage on the capacitors. Otherwise, I'd say the hard drive is dead.

Re: Apple jumped the shark...
Breaking Federal law? Err. IANAL, but I don't get it. You violate the EULA, which would maybe violate contract laws, but what federal law do you speak of? I know some have mentioned the DMCA - but it doesn't apply here because there is no copyright protection circumvention.

Re: Good dvd ripping software??
The issue is simple. While it is indeed legal for you to posess a back up copy of a commercially produced DVD that you have purchased, it is NOT legal to break the copy protection on said DVD. Thank your Senators and representatives for that little catch 22.

It's entirely possible, unless he owns a tv show. In addition I do know that there was one dvd ripping software which was banned from being sold in the US because it successfully decrypted protected DVDs, doing such is indeed illegal. -- Best Regards, John Musbach --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: TOPIC: Apple Psystar Why it came to be
NPD's data refers only to desktop computers - iMacs and MacPros. A decline in desktop sales when all new laptops have just been released is not unusual.

How is Apple's declining sales over the last month deliberate misinformation? If YOU are going to make such claims, you might want to back them up. Are you saying that NPD falsified their data?

Re: G5 and 10.5.5 nightmare.
Chances are very good that ram would cause an issue in OS X. It has some pretty strict specs for RAM, in regards to error corrections and timing.

I don't think there was a kernel crash, I couldn't find it in the logs at any rate, but I have been experiencing problems with the system becoming very slow. I ran Disk Utility from my system with no errors. Big hit on performance continued. Checked the activity monitor, but I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. I booted from the 10.5 DVD and ran Disk Utility again, still no disk errors. Ran fix permissions. Permissions froze. Permissions froze? The System that froze was the DVD booted System. I don't see how the HD permissions repair could freeze the DVD System unless the HD itself or the motherboard that controls it was having issues. Yes, the system that froze was the DVD booted system. The system DVD is 10.5.5 and it was very unstable when I tried to upgrade from Tiger on my G5. Rebooted. Yaboot gone Yaboot? You're running a dual boot OS X Linux G5? Yes, Ubuntu 8.04. and my aluminum Apple keyboard refused to open DVD. Hooked up an old white Apple keyboard. Ran DiskWarrior. Accepted the changes, which were minor - a couple of folder icon changes and something with the library. Rebooted. Apple appeared with white background, some of the drivers loaded and then just got a spinning wheel. Never completed booting. Hard shutdown, tried again, same problem. Rebooted from 10.5 DVD. Started restore from backup. 39.2% completed and the restore crashed. I think you jumped the gun with the restore. I would have reinstalled the 10.5.5 Combo Update first. The spinning wheel that late in the boot was probably the login window problem, which is pretty minor, and can sometimes be fixed by trashing preferences, although reinstalling the Combo Update would likely also fix it, and sometimes you can simply startup in Safe Mode and then restart and it's fine. I may have jumped the gun, I don't know. The system was set up to boot without a login window. Now I am sitting here and wondering how and why the damn situation disintegrated to the point where I am at now!! Any ideas how to get out of this situation would be appreciated with my info intact. I never restore from backup, so I don't know what that entails. I think you're saying you're cloning a backup HD onto the boot HD using Disk Utilities Restore function, and it failed, meaning your HD is likely not bootable at all, and all the original data is gone? If that's the case, wow, you did degenerate too fast. I used Time Machine or Capsule or whatever it is called in Leopard. Again, the system DVD is extremely unstable. The latest news is that I managed to restore after having unplugged everything from my computer except for a keyboard and a mouse. The restored system refused to boot, so in Yaboot I get a blinking OS 9 style system folder icon. Next, I tried a reinstall of system 10.5.5 using archive and install. Unfortunately, The installer stopped, with the message that it could not prepare the disk. I like to clone using Carbon Copy Cloner, although the newest version has had some issues. When I cloned a very large bootable HD I got a bad clone that wouldn't boot, and it took forever to clone. I tried SuperDuper and it was nearly twice as fast to clone the same HD and booted first time. Someone mentioned that the new CCC has a preference to ignore permissions when cloning that will make the clone unbootable, so I may have missed this preference setting and that was my own fault? Your symptoms sound ominous, like a hardware issue to me. You've had problems booted from the HD. You've had problems booted from the DVD. This isn't good. Those are two separate Systems completely, and both shouldn't have problems together unless something bigger is the problem, and that's RAM, motherboard, or CPU. I'd think about RAM testing first. These G5's have dual channel RAM in matched pairs, and one bad module can really mess things up, and a mismatched pair is also bad. I don't know how to test if the RAM is bad. At this point in time, I can only boot from the Leopard 10.5.5 system DVD or from Ubuntu 8.04, now that I have Yaboot back. However, I have to say that Ubuntu performs flawlessly, so what are the chances of the RAM only acting up under OS X?
