as the title of this article references, you'd be increasing it instead:

Whether a computer is obselete really depends on what you want to do
with the computer.  I mean the space shuttle runs of a i386.  I use
mine primarily as my digital darkroom for photography and it works
perfectly for what I use it for.  Furthermore various open source
software will likely extend their lifespan even further.   I have also
noticed Apple users tend to be in my experience people more concerned
with whether there computer gets the job done instead of just having
the newest hardware for the sake of bragging rights.

4 1GB So-dimms LOW PROFILE from a dell poweredge 2500 server. They must be
low profile or they won't work. Be prepared to re-install the OS. Insert the
RAM, start up and press and hold COMMAND+OPTION+P+R. There was a combined OF
command, but i forgot what it was. It was after a while of learning commands
on OF. Also, my version of firmware is from a Power Mac G5 early 2003. Since
the G4 and G5 are similar, the firmware works too. The reason why the
machine cannot detect the 4GB of RAM is because of the firmware. Apple
didn't really think that 4Gb of RAM would be needed back then, so it limited
the amount of RAM to 2GB. I downloaded the PM G5 early 2003 firmware update,
tricked the installer into thinking i had a G5 processor, restarted, pressed
and held COMMAND+OPTION+P+R, shut down, inserted the 4GB of RAM, and it
worked after a Leopard re-install. Since the firmware is for a G5, the
system thinks it's a G5, when in reality it's a G4 (don't worry, it'll
show up as a G4 on the about this mac window! =) ) since the firmware is
designed for a G5 that is able to handle 8GB of RAM, (Don't try 8Gb, it will
be an epic fail) It can see the 4GB of RAM and is able to use it. The open
firmware command was an alternative i made just in case i forgot, but the
way i explained it here works too. Btw, be prepared for troubleshooting.
This took me 47 days to get to work. this can also be done through
micro-soldering a G5 OF chip onto a sawtooth, but I don't want to take my
chances and ruin my companion that's been happy with me for 11 years.

This requires having either an external bootable OS X drive laying about, or

Probably the HD isn't formatted as Apple Partition Scheme? If you're  
using this on an Intel Mac, it's likely partitioned as GUID, and if  
you never changed that partition format when it was new, it could be  
Master Boot Record which is how most all new HDs ship. You can check  
the partition scheme in Disk Utility. You might want to run Repair

Safari 4.1 Problem

2010-06-10 Thread Fred Thiel
I upgraded my Quicksilver 733 OSX 10.4.11 to Safari 4.1 a couple of  
days ago, installed it, and it will not load a page. I get a little  
bit of a blue bar in the address URL window, but nothing even begins  
to load. I can't find anything on the Apple website to address this  
problem,  can't find a copy of 4.0.3 to load and there are no updates  
to address this problem. Does anyone know a fix for this?


Thanks
Fred

Re: Will PowerPC be forever obsolete?

2010-06-10 Thread Mel
If one had to provide a reason why it works on one Mac and not on another Mac 
of the same model, It seems more likely that it is not the difference between 
or among similar models Macs but the different applications used by the persons 
attempting to implement the changes.

I suggest that those who were not successful, if interested, contact those who 
succeeded and perhaps the matter might be resolved with satisfaction among them.

I was one of the lucky ones for which it worked for me. The method I used 
worked for me, but like I said sometime earlier, it might not work on all PM G4 
computers. If it doesn't work, then find a way round it, the possibilities are 
endless. My PM G4 iSaw (I call my sawtooth an iSaw for a nickname, not the USB 
2.0 Saw, lol) worked with this method. Like people, All macs are different, 
even if their specs are the same.

I updates my 10.5 laptop last night to Safari 5 (4.1 is the same update, but 
for Tiger) and is doing the exact same thing. Nothing in the log, the Activity 
window shows nothing, Safari is just sitting there not using any CPU. Nada, it 
just flat doesn't work. Cleared cache, cleared history, etc still no go.

I haven't removed ClickToFlash, but it's working just fine on my Intel Mac with 
CTF installed.

Firefox works on the system, so it's not a networking issue.

Someone here came in with her G5 iMac not booting at all after running that 
update. I'm just finishing up with the latest updates (including Safari 5, 
she's using 10.5), and I'll see what happens.

Please, post a video with a System Profiler Page showing G5 firmware

Dunno. What specific fault did AHT catch?

Also, as a long shot, look closely at the pins inside the Ethernet socket on 
the Cube. In one case I was consistently getting results similar to yours, and 
upon examination I found that one of the wires had been pulled out of the 
little track it was in and was shorting out against the wire next to it. Some 
work with a pair of fine tipped forceps fixed it.

I don't think it will be the fault of your Sonnet upgrade CPU John.
I've run the AHT on several of my Macs - DA , MDD etc in original specs and 
they have come up fine. Upgrading the CPU in these or logicboard then running 
AHT again gave a few error reports.
All these systems ran fine nonetheless with no kernel panics or spinning 
beachballs so I didn't worry about it.
Also don't forget that to have that Sonnet running in the Cube you would have 
updated the firmware too which may give false readings if you are using the 
Cubes original AHT unless I am mistaken.

I've now had a dozen Flash crashes in Safari 4.1.

Upgraded from Flash 10.1.53.60 to 10.1.53.64 -- the former being last

so good...

Ergo, the problem lies in what Webkit and Safari share, which I

Booyah! That was it.

He has a 4.5 update on his website and that one works with Safari 5.  
Whew! That one's the lifesaver...I have a slow internet connection at

The update notification somehow got turned off, so I had V4.4, on my

Well, the commonalities would include Safari.app, inputmanagers,

WebKit.app is just a script that simply tweaks a shell variable to

window contents are blank.  Firefox loads the same page with no 
problemo.


So I did a bit of a wipe... Deinstalled Flash, reinstalled Flash, 
trashed all of ~/Library/Caches/, Cookies, everything in Safari/ 
except bookmarks, and Preferences/Macromedia/.  Things are more 
reliable now.  But still not 100%...


I'm thinking maybe the dns prefetch feature is involved.  Not sure 
how to test that tho.

Memory compatibility with G5

2010-06-10 Thread Illirik Smirnov
I have a 1600MHz single-core G5 that come from the factory with 2X512MB of
memory. I added a matching pair of 1GB sticks (PC3200), and the G5 won't
turn on. A red light turns on, near the front of the case. If the PC3200
isn't compatible, which speed should I use? When I take the RAM out, it
works again... what should I do?

These PC3200 should be compatible. G5's are really finicky about the  
seating of the RAM, and you may have to reseat the stick many times  
before they recognize correctly. You might try the 1GB stick in the  
slots the 512MB are in now. Remember, the RAM is matched pairs and  
they need to be in the correct matching slots. Since yours only has 4  
slots, this shouldn't be an issue, but on 8 slot G5's you need to pay  
close attention. If the two 1GB sticks aren't exactly identical this  
could also be a problem, they normally need to be a matched pair.

Hello Illirik,
I have this same G5. The native RAM is actually PC2700, though 3200 should
work.
Your description sounds like a classic bad RAM issue. When you say won't
turn on do you mean won't boot (current is noticeable, since you have a red
light), or do you mean absolutely nothing? I suspect the former.
Here are some quoted symptoms from Apple re: you're issue:

No power (LED on/off, no fans, no boot tone, no video)
1. Check power supply cables
2. Check logic board power rails
3. Check processor connector
4. Check logic board tape for dual config
5. Replace power supply
6. Replace processor
7. Replace logic board

No boot (LED on/off, fans spin, no boot tone, no video)
1. Replace memory
2. Replace logic board

Memory (blinking LED, fans spin, no boot tone, no video)
1. Check memory config and replace DIMMs
2. Replace logic board
No boot tone (LED on, fans spin, no boot tone, video) or
No video (LED on, fans spin, boot tone, no video)
1. Reseat video card
2. Replace video card
3. Replace front panel board cable
4. Replace speaker
5. Replace front panel board
6. Replace logic board

The second entry is, I think, your concern, with replace memory as #1 fix.
Contact your vendor and ask for a replacement for the two sticks of RAM.
HTH,
Dana
