Re: G5 fans racing
-- -- Illirik Smirnov This is a very, very common issue. Most of the time, its some PMU thing, but occasionally, it's faulty temperature readings. The low 40s C are acceptable processor temperatures; the 47C memory is strange but within reason. A DP of mine developed this issue, except the fan would just blast at random times until I shut it off. Turns out it was reporting 70C+ temperatures randomly; I wound up disassembling the thing and cleaning the fans and the like; that didn't work. I used it for a while with the fans forced to idle, but then I scrapped it for parts. On Sat, Aug 11, 2012 at 3:46 PM, arichic...@gmail.com arichic...@gmail.comwrote: Dual 1.8 G5. When I put it to sleep, sometimes, not every time, I come home and the fans are racing and it sounds like a 747 taking off. I already reduced speed in the system prefs. Before I reduced, the fans would come on once or twice an hour, but never loud racing. Since I reduced, the fans /never/ come on except in sleep mode. I would think in sleep mode /less/ power and heat would be generated. Anyone have a theory on this? I installed a temp monitor utility, and it tells me the processors are running about 105 degrees F; the memory controller heatsink at about 118 F. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Sounds like a good idea, however kts-af.net is an underlying service that receives a fee for redirecting traffic. In case your not aware of it when you go to a WEB Page and click on a link that takes you to another WEB Page, the receiving Owner of that page has to PAY the referring page owner for the potential customer. I've been retired for more than 10 years now and the ISP that we owned (PGEXPRESS.COM) went bankrupt in the U.S. and was moved back to London, so I don't remember how much is paid to the referring page owner, it is not very much Oh say something like $0.1 (just a guess perhaps another member knows the exact amount) but if you consider 100,000,000 link connections a day can add up to a sizable amount. In addition let's take Google as an example, when you click on the Shopping icon and follow one of the links, Google is paid a link referral fee and if you purchase something using that link then Google gets and additional fee. Therefore if you are being referred directly to a radio station link from iTunes kts-af.net is being cut out of the fee chain. So expecting that the radio station will be support going back to the old way doesn't have much of a chance.

Re: iTunes G3 radio playlist servers?
Seems like Apple would prefer to view my iPod as their personal ATM. I've gotten an older [2.5 generation] iPod touch and honestly I've grown to detest the thing. Wifi is incredibly slow, the touch typing is annoying and slow, and not uniform across apps, no streaming internet radio by default. It does nothing *well*, and what it does do--play music I already own---so did my Walkman from 1986 [except that Walkman had also had simple access to free radio]. I hate to be /that guy/, but I recently bought myself a used Zune HD and it works very well with all of my computers (PC and Mac alike). I replaced my older iPod Touch because of what you described: Apple not really supporting anything, either. In addition, the audio quality on my FLACs was subpar; I often blast the tunes off of it on huge speaker systems, and I got tired of FLACs sounding like 128kbps MP3s. The Zune works reasonably well; to sync on Mac, just load up the tiny, low-resource sync utility, point it to a folder of MP3s, and wait a few minutes. Wifi is quite usable, and the web browser is as nice as an older iPhone's when over wifi. I'm not big on games (I have a PSP for that), but there *are* a few nice ones, esp. with some hacking. Streaming Internet radio support is available with a little hacking, and it picks up both FM and HD radio really, really well out of the box. Furthermore, the UI is really nice and easy, and the OLED screen is gorgeous when watching movies on it. The downside is the fact that my used 64GB cost $280 (about the same as a new iPod Touch, right?), and that's the low end for the pricing on these guys (mine had some geometric design etched in the back; plain-backed ones can't be had for under $350). Battery lasts three days of on-again, off-again usage (probably about 15 hours of music, with one movie's worth play) The bad thing is the price, the manufacturer, and the fact that they don't sync natively with macs running pre-10.4 OSes. Still a great way to spend a week's wages, though. Other than that, I really like the Samsung Galaxy players and some of the newer Sandisks for music, esp. if you load Rockbox. The thing is that I have ~250GB of FLACs (with an MP3 copy of each for various purposes) and I need, at the very least, 60GB of storage (to have my favorites in FLAC and a bunch of other stuff in 320 MP3s). I might get a 160GB Classic, but the battery life worries me. Back on topic: I think that iTunes' radio support is mediocre at best, but updating the links manually seems like the only way to go here. I'd really like to think that this is just another Apple-Hates-PPC move, but some of my stations on an Intel mac were lost too, so I dunno. -- -- Illirik Smirnov -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Fastest way to run OS9 apps?
A maxed-out G4 running OS9, or A maxed-out G5 running an OS9 app through Classic? Depends on the app. Arguably the quad (I assume you mean) G5 will be faster at raw computational speed even in Classic, but the G4 will be faster with screen repainting because it doesn't have the rest of the interface to worry about and isn't being preempted. As a practical example, Classilla's JavaScript benchmarks are faster when I run it in Classic on the quad G5, but it is much more responsive on the MDD in 9.2.2. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Merci d'eviter le Top posting -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Since it doesn't sound like you have AFP-over-TCP or a similar tool like ShareWay IP installed on the Quadra, you'll just be using EtherTalk, and that doesn't need an IP address. You just need to have AppleTalk on and set to use Ethernet. You don't need TCP/IP for that. Ok thanks I'll get back at it in the morning. What settings doI need to look at on the iMac? OS 9.2.2.

Re: G3 iMac to Quadra 650 Ethernet?
Ok thanks I'll get back at it in the morning. What settings doI need to look at on the iMac? OS 9.2.2. Turn AppleTalk on from the Chooser, if it isn't already. Make sure AppleTalk is set to the correct Ethernet port under the Network control panel and that it has an AppleTalk address. Start File Sharing from the File Sharing control panel. Check that the username and password are what you desire. So as I get it I will mount the G3 via Chooser on the desktop of the Quadra. That's how I'd do it. I'm pretty sure my cable is a crossover I was told that the orange color designates that but is there a more positive way. The colour of the cable doesn't necessarily mean anything. However, it might say on the markings. If it says PATCH on the markings of the cable jacket, it is NOT a crossover cable. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Never trust a computer you can't lift. -- Mac rollout, 24 January 1984 - -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

The colour of the cable doesn't necessarily mean anything. However, it might say on the markings. If it says PATCH on the markings of the cable jacket, it is NOT a crossover cable. Er, it is *probably* not a crossover cable. I guess there could be some pathologic DIYer who uses patch cable but wires it up in reverse. My crossover cables actually say CROSSOVER on them, however. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Light is faster than sound.

My crossover cables actually say CROSSOVER on them, however. - Easiest way is to hold the two ends of the cable together, in the same position, and look at the colored wires through the connectors. If the wires are the same in both, you have a regular cable. If not, you most likely have a crossover cable.

I think your answer is in this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHCzykwpzZ0feature=plcp On Aug 13, 2012, at 11:17 PM, John Carmonne carmo...@aol.com wrote: I have a G3 iMac 600 OS 9.2.2 and I need to connect it to a Quadra 650 OS 7.5.5 via Ethernet. I only need to transfer text files to and from the desk tops of the two machines, no internet or program sharing, only file sharing. I've done this in the past but I'm at a block wall on it now. I want a very simple one cable setup, anyone know how to do this? I've tried to do it with Tiger on the G3 but I get nowhere so I'm going to install OS 9 on it instead.
