Dodgy eMacs
Hi As youu know. My 1.25Ghz eMac is up the shoot. It's my little boys so I need to replace it asap. I have read lots of forums about it and it seems to only affect the 1.25Ghz models. I've got two 800mhz eMacs which are fine and I had a 1Ghz ATI model from new which wasn't affected either. So I am wondering if it is just the 1.25Ghz models that suffer from this. If so I shall get a different model either a 1Ghz or a 1.42Ghz one.

Some of the 1.25's suffer from those capacitor problems, but it also seems that the 1 Ghz's may too. After doing some researching, I believe that every eMac may have this problem, but the 1.25 has a way higher chance of suffering from it. You should be safest with a 700 or 800 Mhz, or 1.42 Ghz. Don't go off of my opinion alone though, as it may be wrong ;) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Running Imac without CD
Hi, I bought an Imac G3 8.6 (and the CD drive is out). I have both an Iomega drive USB and Firewire external disc drives. I want to use this to upload to the hard drive. I have the software for the Iomega, but says the software is not the correct one. I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Neither should need software to work as optical drives; since the iMac came with USB ports, the USB drivers should be installed.

Re: eMac Checked Board
unfortunately I fear that cap wont be the only bad on, just the only one you can see those caps came in the 100,000's and there was a very bad year for caps that affected every computer mfg ie every dell optiplex260 had a bad mobo due to the caps that year I would not put any hope that one cap will fix it -- -- NOT sent from an iphone,blackberry,Nokia, or any handheld. -- I'm a PC(x86 AND ppc) AND I RUN LINUX!!!

Backup Filling
Hello, I just installed TechTool Pro 5 on my eMac, which is using OS 10.5.6 I now get a message every minute telling me I only have 12% free space left on my backup disk. I looked up Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard for Dummies and it said if I want to get more space on my disc, I should place a check mark next to Automatically Delete Backups Older Than, and then select a time frame. I've looked everywhere and I can't find such a place to check. Help anyone?
