Re: trying to revive an iMac G5 iSight 17

Re: G4 Quicksilver 2002
If it is the fan that cools the heat sink it is very easy to replace. About $20.00 to buy. First I would determine whether it is just clogged with dust and stuff, it may just need to be cleaned. My fan was clogged to the point that it burned the motor out. I reseated the heat sink while replacing the fan using Arctic Silver from Radio Shack. If you decide to replace the fan be sure and save the power plug, my new fan came without a plug. FWIW UP THE IRISH!!

Re: G4 Quicksilver 2002
Could very well be although this was about seven years ago so I was certain the fan was original. However the plug connection made for an easy exchange. No soldering!

Re: My Quicksilver Dual 1GHz G4 has gone bizerk ...
Bill, Have you checked the fan that cools the heat sink. I ran my QS with the side door open and discovered the heat sink cooling fan was bad. I ordered a new fan and while waiting for it ran the computer with a small electric fan directed at the heat sink cooling fins. New fan cost about $15.00.

MacDraw like application?
A long time ago in an another century, in another millennium I had a MacDraw application that was just great for relatively simple drawings. I used it for house drawings, working drawings and so on. Unfortunately current drawing programs have been improved so much that they are practically impossible to use, or too much work to use for simple things such as working structure and details drawings. I don't care about 3D projections etc, just elevation and plan views. MacDraw was perfect for that. Does anyone know of a MacDraw like program that will work on my iMac Intel?

Drive appears in System Profiler but not on the desktop? Was using LaCie Porsche as a back up drive as a general precaution and as computer hard drive was starting to fail.

Carbon Copy Cloner?
I realize that this is a sort of elementary question but possibly someone will help me. Is it possible to copy the entire contents of my Hard drive to my external drive (300GB cap.) and automatically replace the files I have there, that would be duplicates but save the information that is new to my external hard drive? I have information saved on my external drive that is not stored on my computer hard drive that I would not want to lose, so erasing my external hard drive is not an option. As it is I am occupying external hard drive space by saving information I have already saved and adding to the problem that I already have. I hope I have phrased this problem so that it is somewhat understandable but I doubt it. Much obliged I'm not as young as I used to be But I'm not as old as I'm going to be!

Diane, yes it is multifunction and no the scanner will not work wirelessly. For scanning I switch the USB cable over to another computer. The reason I need the wireless connection is so I can print from my G4 Ti-book. I primarily scan photos and generally do it in batches.

I'm not entirely sure on this because your experience has typically been mine, but I would think multifunction printers with wireless networking support builtin would also support wireless scanning. A friend of mine actually has a ethernet enabled multifunction printer and it does support scanning over the network which is really nice. So in short, it seems to me that any multifunction printer with some sort of networking builtin should support scanning over that interface.

Re: Airport Extreme Base Station failure?
Much obliged to all who responded. Turned out to be a setup problem not hardware. Did determine that I had a bad Belden fastcat patch cable which contributed to identifying the problem. I think, and this is pure conjecture, that I had selected the incorrect channel. This comes from using the try everything approach rather than a systematic approach using checklists and such. C'est la vie or something like that!

Re: QuickSilver G4 1.0Ghz DP help
Reseat the processor module heat sink and make sure all fans are clear of dust and crap and operating. There should be a dedicated fan for processor module heat sink cooling. Down load IstatPro to check operating temperatures. On Mar 23, 2010, at 9:32 PM, Albert Carter wrote: All, I recently got a QuickSilver G4 1.0Ghz DP for 25 bucks I was informed it was freezing up but the previous owner thought it might have been RAM related. I've changed out the RAM and run several runs of XBench (figured this would stress enough for problems to come out). I have seen no problems via that. I don't have any Apple Hardware Diagnostics that works for this Macintosh (is this available as a free download from Apple by any chance?). I have noticed something though - The heatsink on top of the processors seems to get VERY HOT. Like if I shutdown the computer and open the side and touch the heatsink it is just cool enough so it doesn't cause a burn, is this normal? I have checked the fan that is under the shroud that routes out of the case and it spins and runs so its not that that isn't working. If this processor normally runs hot is there any better way to cool it a side fan doesn't seem like a very effective way of cooling (I'm from the PC World where heatsinks have fans on top). Next question I plan on setting this up as a server and want to add harddrives to it but have noticed there are a total of 5 or 6 molex plugs for internal harddrives however most of them route inconviently. Is the PSU on this computer adequate enough to run 4 hard drives if I get splitters? If not does this take a standard ATX based PSU or do I need to get a compatable higher wattage one?
