imac g3 (Summer 2000 Indigo) only reflecting 1/2 size of memory installed
Hi there, I've been trying to upgrade an i-Mac G3 (Summer 2000 Indigo-http:// www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac_dv_400_indigo.html). In the System Info, the Dimm 0 slot only shows 1/2 the value of the memory inserted (i.e. half of 512mb/256mb), and shows no memory inserted in the Dimm1 slot. I'm assuming the slots are faulty, but is there a way to fix? Firmware is updated, and the machine is currently running Jaguar. But, this was a problem even when it was running 9.0. Help?

Re: imac g3 (Summer 2000 Indigo) only reflecting 1/2 size of memory installed
Mia It could be incompatible RAM. This happens in the black PowerBook G3 range, some RAM (high density or low density, I can never remember which) will only be detected at half its actually rate, something to do with the number of chips. With the PowerBooks you need sticks with chips on both sides. Maybe someone else can fill in the blanks there.

Before the system lets me click on either arrow, it again ejects the disc. Clicking on the curved arrow does nothing; clicking on the straight arrow caused the system to boot as normal. Every system disc I try, even the Applications disc is ejected. To check the cd drive I put in a normal cd (with photos) and it was fine (appeared on the desktop, opened when disc icon was clicked). Dale This sounds like the restore disks are DVD and you only have a CD drive (or a combo drive with a faulty DVD laser), With the Mac booted can it read the disks? if not then it won't boot from them. If the drive is faulty (It sounds as though it probably is) then you can use an external firewire drive (using the option key at boot to select it ) Also are these original restore disks, or 'copies' as a failing drive may have problems with some brands of burned disk.

Re: problems readying imac for giving to charity
If you performed an archive and install, that won't do the trick. You'll have to select the Erase and Install option; instead of preserving the user settings, this wipes the HD clear, and completely re-installs the OS. Then you can choose to just turn the computer off when it restarts to the Welcome splash screen, so that the next owner can set up the account information themselves, or you can just set it up with a generic user name, no password, etc. -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa Barbara Graphic Design - Artwork Setup Websites - Low Cost Custom Websites On Oct 1, 2009, at 9:26 AM, Dale Goodvin wrote: i've tried re-installing just the OS; doesn't work either In most cases there is no free exercise whatever ... of the moral sense. / I was not born to be forced.

Problem with Intel iMac... screen
This is weird. I have had three files on my Desktop at right, below my hard drive icon. One image, one .PDF, and one TextEdit document. Two of them have only been there for a few days. The third has been there for a few hours. I moved 2 of them to the left side of the screen and threw the other one in the Trash. BUT I can still see the icons like postage stamps, faintly grey and outlined, but definitely still there and clear enough to read the titles of the documents that wee there. Using the Desktop System I turned the screen solid white and they went away. Then I turned the Desktop solid green and the ghost icons are back. And now there is a ghostly window in the middle of my screen that appears to be a faint Yahoo mail window from what I can see of it !! Restart and nothing changes !! Ghost icons still there... 24-inch 2.8 Intel Extreme. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Problem with Intel iMac... screen
Sounds like screen burn-in... But I don't think I've ever heard of it happening that fast. Was your screen on for unusually long periods of time while those files were on the desktop and the Yahoo window was open? I'm not quite sure how you'd go about fixing screen burn-in; but since it's the pixels retaining the electrical currents that make the image, you might keep a solid color background for a while, and see if that helps. It sure sounds like you just have a faulty display; if your Mac is less then a year old, Apple will probably fix it under the 1-yr warranty. To prevent this from happening in the future, set the screen saver to start after 10-20 minutes, and the display to sleep after a while, too. This helps prevents screen burn-in. Although, It is weird that it would be happening to you so quickly, and on a Mac that's not that old. I had thought they'd improved the displays so that that didn't happen as often... It was more common with the old CRT screens then with LCD screens. That's why I think you might have a faulty display. Hope that helps... -Elliott Price Mac Computer Repair - Santa Barbara Graphic Design - Artwork Setup Websites - Low Cost Custom Websites On Oct 1, 2009, at 2:40 PM, MI Shaw wrote: This is weird.

Re: Internet automatic shutdown
You can find the answer to this and many other questions is Snow Leopard's built-in help system. (1) In the Finder's Menubar, select Help Mac Help and type in modem disconnect or whatever your problem is; hit the return key. (2) The first answer offered is If you keep disconnecting from the Internet; selecting this gives you the following instructions: If you have to redial your dial-up modem Internet connection after not using your computer for a few moments, or reconnect your PPPoE connection, your computer may be set to disconnect automatically when the connection is idle. To change the time before your modem disconnects: 1. Choose Apple menu System Preferences, and then click Network. 2. Select your modem port (internal or external) or your PPPoE configuration from the Services list, and then click Advanced. 3. Click PPP, and then make sure the “Disconnect if idle for __ minutes” checkbox is not selected, or if it is selected, increase the number of minutes before disconnecting.

Re: can't restore
I can say for a fact that if this disk was intended for a pre-x iMac, ten it would indeed boot up into system 9.x.x since that is what is on these restore disks... On my X iMac, pressing c doesn't do much but pressing ctrl does. your disk drive is shot, get a new one in there and boot it up!

Before the system lets me click on either arrow, it again ejects the disc. Clicking on the curved arrow does nothing; clicking on the straight arrow caused the system to boot as normal. Every system disc I try, even the Applications disc is ejected. To check the cd drive I put in a normal cd (with photos) and it was fine (appeared on the desktop, opened when disc icon was clicked). Dale This sounds like the restore disks are DVD and you only have a CD drive (or a combo drive with a faulty DVD laser), With the Mac booted can it read the disks? if not then it won't boot from them. If the drive is faulty (It sounds as though it probably is) then you can use an external firewire drive (using the option key at boot to select it ) Also are these original restore disks, or 'copies' as a failing drive may have problems with some brands of burned disk. (If you have access to another machine that will read them you could copy them to a better brand of blank if this is the case).
