Re: Emac issues and OSX 10.5.8 and Airport Extreme Card
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.

Re: Changing the breathing rate of a sleeping Power Mac G4
I have tried this myself a few times trying to mess with kernel extensions
to no avail I know there was a linux kernel that would allow you to use
the sleep indicator light to show HDD activity, there might be some info on
it don't know though. I also read awhile back that there is a key in
Info.plist named intensity so that might be what we are looking for. If
anyone has any ideas I am more then willing to test out and try on my PB G4
but from all I have looked into it hasn't been done. I am relatively new to
all the coding mumbo jumbo but like I said I messed around with kernel
extensions and couldn't work it out specifically If I can find that linux
kernel maybe someone can offer some help or at least point me to a better
forum to help out on that.

Re: Thinking of buying a G5 dual for P&R but quick question
I just need to get my hands on it and see what will happen when I do the firmware command and run with a single processor, and as for switching the processor I will just go the route of new dual's with same model number if above doesn't work and for the thermal calibration I do have my hands on the correct copy for this machine.

Re: Thinking of buying a G5 dual for P&R but quick question
That was kind of my thinking (granted I am not a computer guru but I do know a few things). I was also thinking I could disable one of the CPU's (which I think is an option since it does boot to the apple logo but just hangs there) and just run a single core which I have helped a friend out with before. anyways thanks for the response, and this group is awesome lot's o info!
