Looking for OS X 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6 for G4
At the moment I've got a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver which I can't use. I got it from freecycle.org with OS X 10.3.9 installed, This version prevents me from doing various things, but it's also become corrupted. I think the error message is The bill of materials cannot be found. This seems to mean that I can no longer install any software! I'm desperate to get a copy of a later version of OS X which is compatible with this Mac, but I'm not having much luck. Can anyone help? -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Connecting iMac G3 to WiFi
Don't worry! I've got it working now. It required a Power Management Unit (PMU) reset, though! On 27/02/2012, Paul Brown paul.londo...@gmail.com wrote: The monitor is a VGA LCD monitor by ProView.

As for the G4's specs, I believe that would be a Quick Silver 867 MHz. The system will run Leopard but somewhat slowly (I recommend having at least a 1 GHz). As for Logic Pro 9, I don't believe that runs on PowerPC, I think it's Intel only. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Connecting iMac G3 to WiFi
OK, thanks for this. I've since obtained a Power Mac G4 free of charge from www.freecycle.org though. I've hardly used it so far, due to lack of a monitor, then one night with a monitor I bought without a PSU. Either the PSU or the monitor, or both, have blown out now. The details from About this Mac are OS X V10.3.9, CPU 867Mhz Power PC G4, 2Mb L3 Cache. Memory 1.25Gb SDRAM. Some more info from System Profile is Boot ROM V4.2.3fl. My ambition is to edit some Apple Logic Pro V9 music files which I then work on in a recording studio, or to bring files home from the studio and continue work on them at home. It seems I'll be able to make some Garageband files, then work on them in the studio, but I don't know if I'll ever succeed in continuing to work on the Logic Pro files at home with this setup. At the moment I'm in the studio for 2 hours, once per week.

While the installed OS 9 would give you a Mac introduction of sorts, a better experience would be provided by updating to OS 10.3 at least; adding (inexpensive) RAM to the max is easy and highly desirable. A detail: after installing OS X, you will be able to boot up in either that or the OS 9 which you leave installed as you install OS X over it. However, Mac offers a second way to access your OS 9-based software called classic mode, and for that option I think you would need to ensure that you have version 9.2.

The installed OS is version 9. I know from watching a video on YouTube that I can upgrade it to 1Gb RAM, 128Gb hard drive, DVD-ROM drive and OS X 10.3. At the moment I can't connect to my Virgin Media WiFi network, so I thought I'd ask here for some advice. It seems there are three possible ways. snip -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Needed - Head phone jack for iMac G3 slot loader
What exactly has happened to your iMac sound? I've recently bought one of the same model, as a cheap entry into the World of the Mac, I installed an old version of iTunes, listened to some Internet radio, then a few hours later, one speaker came loose and started vibrating about, followed by the other speaker a few days later. They've basically both blown out. Since then I've got my hands on a Power Mac G4 from www.freecycle.org , though. On 1 February 2012 15:14, D.

Re: Help! What to do with iMac Bondi G3 Tray Loading 233mhx cpu 256 mb ram
I've just bought a similar iMac, which is G3 Blueberry 350Mhz slot loading. I found out it would need an adaptor to install an Airport card and that nearly all sellers of these on eBay were in Hong Kong or elsewhere in China, so it would take some time to arrive. There's also the option of a USB WiFi adaptor, but again nearly all sellers were in Hong Kong, or elsewhere in China. It wouldn't even recongise a USB 3G dongle modem. I bought an Ethernet cable from a hardware store, after checking it was the right type of Ethernet cable and connected to an Ethernet port on my WiFi router. It currently has 192Mb of RAM and can be upgraded to 1Gb. How much RAM should I have to run OS X without the big delays you mention? If I upgrade the RAM how to I make sure both RAM cards are recognised? My two current RAM cards are 64Mb and 128Mb and one of them has slower RAM than the other, but I read somewhere to get two RAM cards of the same type to make sure they both work.

Re: Dead keyboard???
I regularly record music in a studio which runs Logic Pro V9 on a Mac Pro with Intel Xeon CPU and a keyboard which looks identical to the description posted on this thread. I told the Recording Engineer about this thread and he quickly found the page on www.apple.com where you can buy a replacement keyboard of the same type.
