Upgrade Help Required
Dear all, I've bought a G5 PowerPC iMac from a designer friend who has upgraded the basics, however, I need to upgrade the OS. I'm currently on OS X 10.3.9 - I know I can upgrade to Tiger (Snow Leopard not compatible with PowerPC) - can anyone advise me which version - I'll need the most current as I plan to use Logic. Your help would be most appreciated.

If I highlight multiple emails to delete ,The email's stay in the inbox till I shut down the computer or go back and delete each one separately I have a macbook via airport also doing the same thing. Both are using 10.5.8 and Apple mail 3.6. and Safari 4.0.4 So you *two* different Macs, both running Leopard and Apple Mail, both accessing the same mail account? Or two different accounts on the same provider's servers? IMAP or POP3?

That should be my goal over next summer. :) My iMac has 3 USB ports, does that mean 127 keyboards per port, or is that the total number that USB will recognize? First, it's not 127. USB allows for 127 devices. But that includes hubs. Using 18 hubs you can connect 109 keyboards to one port. IF the 3 USB ports on the computer are separate USB busses then you could use 327 keyboards. AFAIK most if not all Macs have a separate bus for each port but it's possible some use an internal hub. Unless you use a few of these http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/cambrionix-49-port-usb-hub-for-professionals-nerds/ I know the G3 iMacs have a bus per port (Wish my PC had that... it'd be a bit easier on the drain when I use some more power-hungry preiphials... or ones that just crash the bus) You also have to take into account that if you use a multimedia keyboard... you're going to loose 4 devices, one for the keyboard, one for the multimedia half, one for a usb composite device... and one for the hub that connects them all internally. (So stick to your dirt-cheap $2 USB keyboards, and get some nifty hubs) Another consideration, if you do such a thing: Power... you'll need alot of powered hubs for that. -Proudly Sent from a Windows PC -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Slot Loading boot issues
Hi all, My faithful 1999 iMac Slot Loading has decided to stop working, when I boot it up all I get is a grey boot screen with the Apple logo but no spinning icon. The people in the Apple store told me to put in the install disk and hold down c, but I do not have the original install disk. It was running OS X 10.3.9, and I have disks for 10.4.11 (iBook G4) and OS 9. Is there any way I can revive my iMac whilst hopefully keeping my files? If not, I would appreciate any help in just getting the thing running again... Thanks! N.B: I would rather not have it permanently booting into OS 9 if possible... -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Slot Loading boot issues
Well, the OS9 one *might* work. I have a grey disc for OS9 and OSX 10.1 from an iBook (one of the first ones that shipped with OSX) and they work fine on my other Macs, but this is rare and only happens with the older ones.

Agreed. Leopard really takes advantage of the power those G5 towers have. It ran great on our dual 2.0Ghz G5.
