The Apple Store does not work on vintage machines. I had G5 iMac that died on
me and they would not work on it because it was 5 years old.

No Jack, she said she has a G4 iMac; that's the one with the guts in a

I do have two of these, (which still work) but unfortunately I do not know why
she has been unable to upgrade it to 10.4 11. Possibly a firmware issue,
although MacTracker does not list a firmware update.Patricia do you have the
original 10.4 install disc? Doing a clean install from this disc may work?
Possibly a PRAM reset (using 4 fingers press down alt, command, p and r keys
together before the 'BONG" sound when booting may help.I'm sure someone on this
list may have more knowledge of this machine's foibles.

I know this computer is very old (snowball), but I just need one for my
autistic grandson to use in his room. I just wanted to get him on-line and off
my computer watching Barney. So, I started installing updates to get to Mac OS
X 10.4.11 and use TenForFox, or at least try to get him on Youtube. Everything
went well until the 10.4.3 update, then black screen and cursor only after
start-up. I had previously used the 10.4.2 combo update. Tried to start in
"safe mode" but things got worse. Now it won't complete the boot and just shuts
down. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I feel like I really got close
and I just don't want to give up just yet. Any ideas?
