Is there a way to import a PPC 'Address Book’ file into 'Contacts' on
Intel Macbook Pro?

The data files are in a back-up of the PowerMac G4 hard drive on a
G-Drive mini external drive. I haven’t been able to import the data from
the external drive (which is hooked up to the MBP) into ‘Contacts’ on
the MBP. I no longer have the G4 machine so I cannot open the
AddressBook application to convert the data to a different format like
csv or vcf files.

The 'Address Book’ had been on 2003 PowerMac G4 (dual 1.0 GHz, Mirrored
Drive Doors) running 10.4.11. I’d like to transfer it to my MacBook Pro
(13”, Mid 2012) running Yosemite 10.10.5.

Re: New (to me, of course) iBook G4. A few questions.

[Charles Lenington]

On 1/31/17 9:35 AM, Michael Moreau wrote:
Hey there guys and gals. I just picked up (for $8, the price of a 
power adapter), an old iBook G4 in fairly decent condition. The 
battery still holds a 3 hour charge and it boots and works well. It's 
an 800mhz with 256mb of RAM, a standard CD-ROM drive, and a 30gb hard 
drive. This is not my first G-Series Mac, but I haven't had one for a 
LONG time. The last one I had was a blue & white G3 tower and I loved 
that thing. Even at 300mhz it was faster than the PCs I had at the 
time that were 800mhz or so.


Anyway, I'll get on with the questions:

1. Where can I look up what type of RAM this thing takes and how much 
it will accept? I want to max it out.




everymac.comor  down load Mactracker
2. I read that the battery life is supposed to be like 6.5+ hours, is 
that true? If so then I guess I'll be getting a new battery since this 
one only holds half of that.


3. Any known issues upgrading these to an SSD? I don't have any 
install discs so I'd have to clone this 30gb HD straight to a 32gb 
SSD. (Not even sure this thing is using SATA to be honest, haha!)


4. What are the best places to find software that will run on the G4 
processor? I've managed to find lots of old versions of stuff, but 
it's usually post-Intel switch.


5. This little laptop will mostly be for me when I'm writing, or for 
my daughter to do some basic web browsing for school as we've already 
got tons of other computers, phones, tablets, etc... Any other 
suggestions though to make this thing as speedy and enjoyable as possible?


Thanks!

SYBA SD-SATA-4P

[Charles Lenington]

I bought (local pc store) this 4 port sata raid card because the box
said OS 10.5 and up. After fighting it for a week I emailed SYBA. their
reply

Dear Customer,

The box for this card was designed for a series of controller cards.
Some of which did support Mas OS 10.5+.

Unfortunately this is one of the cards of the series that does not
support Mac OS.

We apologize for the delay.

Thank you for your patience.

etc.

I'll check ox86 when I can get in, they appear to be over accessed
today. No hope though.

At least the local vender says he'll refund my money the next time I 
make the 60 mile trip.


So beware and check syba products on web before purchase.

Try booting into OS 9 with extensions off, then open the control panel...  
Maybe hold down option while you open the control panel? ... There was a key

Opening the Memory Panel with Command-Option (IIRC) showed an additional option

Try just disconnecting the HD.  If it's the HD you should get the flashing

Try pulling the PRAM battery.  I don't know if the G5 will boot this way but

Check the battery. Being in storage could have run down battery.

Hello Diane:

One, I assume you have set the energy control panel to never

 This can over write bad preference settings.  You can also find
the energy control panel settings cache (with other personal

name/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache) and delete
them.  Preferences need to be reentered.

Two, PRAM (Apple key, Option key, P, R at the same time on
computer start from computer off) and Power Manager reset.  PMU
reset proceeds as:  Turn computer off, wait ten seconds, pull
plug, pull ALL wires from computer, open case, find small Surface
Mount Device (SMU) button labeled PMU on motherboard next to two
ATA cable attachments to motherboard.  Leave battery in
motherboard.  Wait five minutes or so.  Press button ONCE firmly
and release immediately, same as when you use the power button to
start the computer.  Attach power cable, keyboard, video.  Start.
 If the computer will not start, repeat PMU reset procedure, but
try to press the button more quickly.  You may need to reset PRAM
after this to get complete start.

You can also try to find the procedure on the web, but I didn't
find any specific for the MDD.  What I have given you worked for
my MDD.



Hi Bob,

I had not done any of what you suggested, as it's always been like 
this. But it was pretty good for over a month, except if I left it 
with the dashboard up and running - maybe my radar widget prevents it 
from sleeping.


After I got your reply, I did try setting it to never, exiting, and 
resetting it. Repaired permissions. Eventually it would sleep again.


I lost power for a few minutes one day last week and it has not gone 
to sleep since sigh


So now I will step through the rest of your suggestions.

Again, this machine has always behaved like this since I got it 10 
years ago. As a matter of fact, if you had asked me I would have said 
I *don't* have sleep turned on as it just never went to sleep at all. 
When it did in December, I feared my PS was going again as that's what 
used to happen, I'd leave it on overnight and it would be off in the 
morning due to the failing PS. The only way to get it back on then was 
to unplug it and hit the power button. This time it really was 
sleeping, and I kind of liked it!


Hopefully it will kick itself back in again.




You could ty and extend the life of the PS by powering the drives 
separately. Find a AT PS (has a switch) or a external  bare drive adapter

Try tep fan either in bottom of case or on front inside frame. If bottom

Basically: Clean out the deeply hidden dust-bunnies ... Over-heating

Maybe this would do it: remove the cpu cover, and carefully clean,
Maybe remove the Heat SInk and attached cpus, and clean further.
Remove the cpu card and clean there, reseating with fresh thermal
paste and/or thermal pads. Check for Coolant Leaks. This is what I was
asking for today, in addition to making sure all the electrical
connections were secure.

I did blow out considerable dust when I first got it ... and cleaned a
fair amount off the radiator to the right of the double-fans which are
in front of the RAM slots. But I did not go deeper into the cpu area.

Perhaps a Certified Apple Technician, that knows about the Power Mac

If you can find an old AT power supply, they have a switch to power

another source especially if I add more SATA and Firewire controllers.

refurbishing my new (to me) Dual 1ghz Quicksilver G4

[charles in charge]

Hello all,

This is my first post, so I shall kick off my tenure here by telling of my most 
recent acquisition.

At a local used electronics store, I spied a QS tower, listed as barebones 
since it was missing the operating system (a seemingly easy fix). After 
inspecting the inside, and turning it on to confirm the flashing question mark, 
I plunked down a mere $50 for it. Even if I couldn't get it back on line, the 
$50 was cheap for the scavangable components inside.

In its heyday in 2002, this beast would have run about $3000. In 2012, I just 
needed it to run some data programs I am building. Upon arriving home, I 
attempted to install X 10.4 on its 80gb hard drive. It kernel panicked from the 
install disk. A PRAM reset allowed me to install the OS. I set it to watch a 
DVD as a test run, and it seemed ok. At that point, I made the move for OS 
10.5, which is required for the program I have written. Not long after, 
however, the kernel panics resumed. 

Sometimes I got the kernel panic screen with the text, and other times the 
screen would just drop pixels or have weird lines, and freeze. I eyed the video 
card or processors as culprits. First thing was to repair permissions, which 
took forever as they were a mess.

The panics continued. In order to run hardware test, I had to remove an 
aftermarket FireWire800 PCI card. It checked out ok on loop mode after 12+ runs.

I took out a ton of dust from the interior (there was an incredible amount 
caked on). I ran memtest over and over and indeed pulled out a bad unit of RAM 
(I should have known, since the sticker says VODI IF REMOVED). The panics 
continued.

Processor intensive tasks seemed to egg on the panics; everything from CC 
Generals to Spotlight indexing (mdworker in panic logs), to my own data 
analysis programs triggered the dreaded crashes.

At my wit's end, I figured I would have to swap out video cards from my other 
G4 (466 DA) to narrow it down. Before trying that, I popped the heatsink off to 
inspect the processors. They were caked in dust just as the rest of the unit 
had been, and their thermal pads and grease were burned away.

I applied Arctic Silver and hoped for the best.

It turns out that was the trick! The processors had been overheating. This 
monster is now maxed out with RAM, with various PCI cards, and running my 
programs like a champ!

The whole debugging process took about 2 weeks.

In April 2011, I found a legal copy of OS X Server 1.2 server on
Amazon.com, of all places.  I tried a few things to make it work, but
was non-successful.

I’m just trying to install Mac OS X Server 1.2v3 on my G4 AGP Graphics. I
found that the installation disc has two bootable volumes: the first one is a
Mac OS 9 (specifically 9.0) boot disc that has the installer on it. You can
also use Drive Setup to initialize a volume – so you can choose one for the
installation.

Knowing that the Cube cannot boot Mac OS 9.0 – there is your problem.


Later, I purchased an early G4 from the LEM list that was on the HCL and
was still unsuccessful with 1.2.

Which Mac did you collect, exactly? (If you’re not sure, you may want to use
Mactracker or Onyx to find out, or, if you’re brave: System Profiler).


Today, my Server 1.2 box is sitting on my book shelf.  I need to get
motivated again, and come up with plan C !

You should definitly give it another try.

Contact me should you be interested.

Andreas  aka  Mac User #330250

As long as you retain your preferences folder, you should be able to go back to

*Subject:* Studio Display Monitor Broken Hinge

This little Apple Studio Display M2454 monitor has seen light use and 
has a lot of life left. It has been attached to my Mac G4's for 
testing purposes. In a really dumb move I broke the acrylic stand 
connection to the monitor. I tried to super glue it together but as 
you may guess that did not work.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/glenstrek/6808551702

It looks easy to replace the broken part but any ideas where to get 
one. And what is it called. If I were to post a WTB to the LEM Swap 
List I would not know what to ask for. Perhaps there is a third party 
parts dealer that won't charge more for the part than the monitor is 
worth. Any ideas? Thanks, --glen






tip:  My kid's desk has the paper slot for printers. I took the monitor 
and stuck front legs in slot and put the broken rear leg under middle to 
keep monitor from going all the way through. I have the G5 tower behind 
it to help adjust angle. Maybe some thought at a temp to solution will 
let you use it.

It is an M-Audio 2496 Audio PCI card, which I have not yet installed the

fine under 10.4.11 ... it just doesn't show up under System Profiler in Tiger.


My first step would be to install the drivers. Second would be to try a

Could be a 10.5 or newer card was packed instead of one that is 
compatible w/ 10.4 and up. Try talking to vendor or maker to verify card 
version. If you bought in a store it's even possible someone swapped a 
lower priced card for a higher priced one.

the crypto hashes in court.

I have yet to find a financial establishment that has the foggiest idea of what

As a test take a 10 ft (or 1 meter) of wire and wrap 2 - 3 inches (7 - 8

Re: Geforce 7800 locks up

[Charles]

Thanks a lot for the information.
The after giving the fan some therapy it is spinning freely.  I put
it back in and kept the door open to see that it was spinning - it
was, but I doubt it was before.
The ROM rev is 113-A07552-134 which is what that site has available.
Fingers crossed.  Worst case, I can try the slot fan or even see if I
can't buy a replacement.
Charles

 They place these fans on these cards for a reason. When the fan stops,  
 the card will overheat and you'll start seeing artifacts on the  
 display, and then it will seize up. You may need to replace the fan if  
 you can find a suitable replacement, or get one of those larger fans  
 that fits in a PCI slot if there's a slot near enough to this AGP card  
 to cool it sufficiently.

Re: Geforce 7800 locks up

[Charles]

Yes, my mistake on the model of the card - Somehow I changed the 9 to
a 7.  Sorry about that.
The computer is: Apple Power Macintosh G4 800 DP (Quicksilver)
The video card is:  128MB ATI Radeon 9800pro AGP 8x Video Card VGA/DVI/
TV 109-a07500-00

I know in the PC world (Linux/Windows) if you have the wrong drivers,
you may get 800X600.  This is doing 1920X1000+.  I didn't install any
drivers for it.
With it out of the system, I did turn the fan and it was not spinning
freely so I spun it with my finger for a while and seemed to loosen
up.
I'll put it  back in and fire it up with the system open so I can see
if the fan runs.

  Would I still need to disable those pins?

 The previous post about disabling pins seems the more spot on.

  Only difference I noticed is when the apple comes on the screen while
  booting, seems it's bigger (lower resolution) than with the stock
  card.  After it's up, seems fine.
  I'm running 10.4.11 OS X server.

 Anyway, I'm wondering if your OSX has the right drivers.
 I never heard about 7800 on Macs before, and I'd investigate the driver
 presence (or I would try to download the newest ones).

 The lower resolution on boot could indicate the card is not
 recognized/correctly enabled by the system.

Re: Abridged summary of g3-5-list@googlegroups.com - 1 Message in 1 Topic

[Charles]

I just bought a second hand 7800 and installed in my G4 Dual 800.

Works fine to begin with but eventually the system locks up.

Had to power off and on the reboot - got a lot of skewed random pixels on the 
screen.

I leave it sit for quite some time - boot it back up and everything is great 
for a while but later locked up again.

I put my old (stock) card back in and it runs and runs.

Is it possible that these systems don't have adequate ventilation for this 
hotter card?  I did have the aux power connection connected.

I don't want to disable one of my CPUs to use this card, kind of defeats the 
purpose.

Any suggestions?  

Thanks,

Charles

Hello

I run my office on a BW G3 450mhz, 512mb RAM,
More ram will help, remember Data files can get big thus requiring more 
ram. PC 100 can be found cheap.

rev 2 (IDE controller chip

ends in 402), OS 9.2.2; 30GB maxtor on drive 0 (startup drive), and 20GB
drive on drive 1, another in the zip slot.


How full is the boot drive? It is reccommended that you have 10% +/- 
free space on boot drive. Although there is no reccomendation for any 
other drives that I'm aware of I try to keep 5% available on secondary 
drives. It's easy to push free space on smaller drives.


I've tried just having a 2nd HD in the zip slot, and not using IDE1, but get
freezes anyway. I've seen it reported that rev 2 machines don't have the IDE
drive issues of the rev 1 machines, but I'm wondering if this is true.

Generally I'm running Filemaker Pro 5.5, Architext (an orphaned legacy
hypertext app), iTunes or SoundApp, and WriteNow (yes I love my legacy
apps).

Switching to different HD's didn't make a difference.

I *think* the problem is Filemaker when it writes database updates to the
HD, although I have not yet been successful in finding any
documentation of this issue.

Freezes occur usually while entering text into a  FMPro field, but can also
occur while entering text in WriteNow.  FMPro saves changes to disk
periodically, and could be writing to the HD while WriteNow is the
foreground. I do alot of pasting between WriteNow and FileMaker.  After a
freeze, the filemaker file that was being worked on is occasionally
corrupted, although (so far) completely recoverable by FMPro's recovery
utility - except for the last entry.


Does the freeze happen if only 1 program is running?


Once the Mac is frozen, the keyboard and mouse are totally unresponsive,
except to do a restart, and not always that either.

It could be unrelated, but I've got 2 keyboards and 2 trackballs on the
ADB chain, and probably a longer run of cable than is recommended
(computer is the other side of an office wall, with monitors and
keyboards/trackballs on either side.


Have you tried only 1 ea on ADB chain for testing?

You could make a 3-4 hole on both side of the wall (down low, out of 
sight). Save dry wall for future replacement.


I usually run iTunes 2.06 in the background as well. I tried switching to
SoundApp (small and very stable), but the freezes still occur. I moved the
mp3's to one of the backup HD's to see if this would help. It didn't.

Thanks,

Barry Levine

I think I just discovered something. I have a wired Apple mouse with
one of those little trackballs on the top, the kind that eventually
gets sticky and don't work. Well, the trackball on mine was typical:
it didn't work. Sometimes I could get pages to scroll down, but not
up. I did the usual things to try to fix it: dripped alcohol and other
cleaning fluids on the ball and turned the mouse upside down and
worked the ball around and around until dirty liquid seeped out and
then the ball sort of worked again, only to fail all over again after
a little while. I just gave up on it.

Well, my wife brought home one of those Magic Eraser things from Home
Depot. Sort of a small white sponge that you add a little water to and
then wipe dirt off things with. She gave it to me because I was
complaining about how dirty and grubby my keyboard was getting. Well,
this Magic Eraser really did clean up my keyboard. A couple of swipes
across each key and it was gleaming white just like new. (This is
starting to sound like a commercial, but it's not). Anyway, there was
the old mouse sitting there too so I wiped it down as well, and in the
process rolled the trackball around with the sponge some, and then
forgot about it.

The next time I used the mouse, the track ball worked much better,
though it was still a little sticky when scrolling up. I didn't pay
much attention to it. But whatever is in that Magic Eraser thing
wasn't done working, I guess, because now, a few days later, the
trackball works perfectly, left, right, up, and down. I wonder what's
in that eraser thing?

On the downside, I had a glass of water sitting next to my keyboard
(the very thin aluminum kind), and I bumped it over on the keyboard.
The water went all over the keys. Instantly I turned the board over
and set it on a towel, and tapped on it, hoping to drain out all the
water. Then I fired up a hair dryer and held the keyboard upside down
and dried the heck out of it. All to no avail. The keyboard is dead.
Tapping on keys gets no response whatever on the screen.

I can't figure out how to Magic Erase the inside of a keyboard,
assuming it would work. Does anyone know a way this dead keyboard
might be resuscitated?

When I run keyboards thru the dishwasher I usually let them stand on one 
end (against wall, etc) 24-48 hours then flip other end up for same time.

Re: Help restoring contents of drive to newer computer

Get the 'firewire' full backups working as being 'bootable'.

It's then quite simple.

Hook up the firewire cable between the 1TB drive and the new (to you)  
15 PB. have the 1TB drive powered up. Power on the new PB while  
holding the 'Option Key'. The 'old, backed up system from your present

Select it. When the 15 PB boots, then use CCC/ SuperDuper  that  
system (your old Ti-Book system) TO the HD in the New 15PB.


DONE

The old Ti-Book system/Data/Garbage/deleted Files/EVERYTHING will now  
exist on your NEW 15PB

That would be a yes.

Security Update --- what was located  is 'Security Update 2011-002

Not true, my iMac G5 has been running Safari Version 5.0.5 (Build

I could be wrong about the 5..0.5 being Intel only, but the message

O.K.  I goofed on stating the problem [figured out when I was

Safari 5.0.5what I could find was labeled Snow Leopard  I just  
now, found a DL link for a 'Leopard' version [DL under way, using  
'Download Manager' --- (Resume interrupted dl's possible)].


Still concerned about the 'security update' being for a 'client' [of

lasting for about 1 second and ending with this sound, which you can
hear the very moment when you press the power button to boot the
computer. I think that it has something to do with the hard drive.

Perhaps this is just hard drive spinning up, and I would really like to
believe it. I am just buying another 1GB of RAM and I do not want for
the computer to crash or the hard drive to die. Apart from that, there
are no other problems, except this crash some days ago, which happened
during night, because of a unresolved kernel trap (I think it was 0x30
or something like that).

Re: Printing problems

[Charles Davis]

Well, hopes dashed!

The 315 uses the 310 drivers.    download and install of current  
files did NOT show any improvement.

I believe I may have located the problem!!

Looked at the printer --- it's a 315, NOT a 310

(was a replacement from Samsung for a 310)

Downloading the correct driver package as I write this. Installation  
will tell.


Results later.

Printing problems

[Charles Davis]

System Leopard 10.5.8, all security updates on MDD 1.25G G4, 2GB

Anything that tries to print using system print routines bombs out.  
Printing from within 'Mail' does work. When I say anything that uses  
'system' print, I mean 'Apple/P', Text Edit, Text Wrangler, etc.


Reapplied combo update 10.5.8  --- no joy!

Console messages mention

Any ideas?

Chuck Davis

When LEM List was suggested ( oh, so kindly, rotflmao) as a venue it was
also revealed to be the doorway to nowhere.

Look at the group page. the last post was April 28th.

And now it is oh so kindly suggested by a lister again.

Not in the LEM tradition in my book.

That's because the nannies aren't telling the listers to take list 
management issues over there.

*sigh* Hi all,
Sorry to be so thick about this, but I can't yet see how to get a hold
of specific List moms for a specific group list (I can get to Dan, but
how does one contact the specific list mom, or know who to reach?). I
am having specific difficulties with the Swap list and know not who to
reach.
Thank you in advance, my apologies for having to post the problem via
this group.
Regards,
Dana


Have you tried going to the web page for the group? Also there is lemlists

http://groups.google.com/group/lemlists?hl=en

a discussion group for problems, etc on all LEM lists.
