Research can be confusing.tv or pc monitor for my Dell computer
I want to get a larger monitor for my computer. My lcd is only 19 inches. I have talked to at least 15 people including a Dell tech. Most say a tv is just as good or better than the pc monitor. One man said that the tv can cause a problem by feeding info in the computer faster than the computer can take. My husband,a non -computer person,says why do they make monitors if tvs are just as good. He wonders if the tv might be a good idea since we can also use it as a tv. I would like a 25 or 26 inch product. Tiger Direct has a 25 inch monitor with 1980/1080 for $199.Even paying postage that sounds as if it is good. What should i do? lcd tv or pc monitor?Is the tv just as good or better?Can the tv cause problems by feeding data in too fast to the computer. Are some companies better than others? I am leaning towards Samsung but the company in the ad is i-inc? I have a Dell Inspiron 530s. Sometimes research can just confuse the issue. -- 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.

Yes it is, but it's really very simple. The key is to correctly identify what hardware you have. In and effort to make sure you buy only Apple hardware, they produced the ADC video connection while the rest of the world went to DVI. Technically, ADC seems like a good idea because it also provides the monitors power minimizing clutter. However, you had to buy the matching Apple monitor. For an ADC video card to work it needs a Mac with the extra power sockets on the motherboard. Since you have a DVI socket on your video card, it might be an aftermarket one. You should check if your motherboard has the connections for an ADC video card (or just give us the model number or serial number) Your choices are to find a Mac ADC video card (if your Mac was designed for one), or buy a non-Apple LCD with a DVI connector. -- 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.

How Do I Get an MOV File to Play?
Mavens of Malus Domestica: I have a CD that comes with the textbook that I use in a class that I teach that has MOV files that I need to play for the class. When I double-click on them on my Ubuntu machine, they play very well. When I put the CD into my G4 with 10.4.11, it mounts the CD, but does nothing with it. If I click on it, I get the contents of the folder. Double-clicking on the primary file opens Classic Mode, and then a window with the table of contents. I can view the overheads, but clicking on a video only puts a labeled blue box in the middle of the screen. The instructions on the screen tell me to click the image and then click the 'play' button; but when I do that, nothing happens. If I control-click or right-click the box, I get another dialog box; I click on Play Quicktime, but the dialog box disappears and nothing happens. Am I missing a file, or is this cockpit error? Any suggestions are welcome, and thanks in advance. -- 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 fact that it's opening Classic shows that your preferences for the .mov filetype are wrong and you're preference for .mov is an OS 9 application. You need to find the actual .mov file and highlight the file and do a Get Info (Cmd-I) on the file, and in the Get Info window go to the Open with and change this to a native OS X application (normally Quicktime Player for OS X, but alternatively VLC or any other appropriate media player). Then use the Change All... button beneath to change this preference for all .mov files.

MDD problems - questions
I have an 867 dual and recently it has been giving a bad ram beep either at post or randomly during use. I believe the motherboard is starting to go. The ram is just fine in another machine. I was wondering if I could swap in a motherboard from a MDD 1.42 dual and use everything from the 867 including the processor? I know there is a difference in the bus speed but do not know if that would prevent the 867 from functioning or destroy the 867 processor. I dont know if the power supply will hook up or work with the board. Can anyone shed any light on this? I have been cruising the net and various mac sites but cannot find this specific information. The reason I would prefer to use the 1.42 board is because I have it sitting here and there would be no out of pocket if I use it. I even have the ram for it. Any help/information is appreciated.

Ethernet connection not recognized in PowerMac G5
I recently bought a PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3GHz (late 2005). It is running OS 10.4.11. It is connected directly to DSL modem via Ethernet cable. When I start up the computer or wake it from sleep, I cannot connect to the Internet. The Ethernet connection is not recognized in the Network Status window of the Network preference pane in the System Preferences. The Ethernet light on the modem is off. (The Internet light is on.) However, if I unplug the Ethernet cable from the computer and then plug it back in, all is well. Network Status shows Built-In Ethernet 1 is currently active and has the IP address... But if I put the machine to sleep or am even inactive for a while, the Ethernet connection disappears again. The problem occurs with both Ethernet ports, and when I created a New Location. Also, unplugging and re-plugging the Ethernet cable at the modem end does not work; only re-plugging at the computer port. Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

AirPort card for PowerMac G5 (dual 2.3GHz)
I would like to install an AirPort Extreme card in a recently acquired PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3GHz. Apple Knowledge Base (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3096) says that the machine will only work with a special combination AirportExtreme+Bluetooth2.0+EDR card. I think have located the card for sale. It seems to be the same one that works in iMac G5 (A1126), but according to the description it requires another part (runway card) to work in a PowerMac G5. I cannot find the runway card anywhere. The AirPort slot in the computer would fit a regular AirPort Extreme card, so I am guessing that the runway card might adapt the combo AP+BT card to the slot in the computer. The wiring inside the computer looks as if it is meant to connect to an A1126 card. I would appreciate knowing whether the above guesswork is correct and, if so, does anyone have any of the parts that I need? (I am a member of the swap list.) I guess that the backup plan would be to get a PCI-X wireless card. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Apple Knowledge Base (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3096 ) says that the machine will only work with a special combination AirportExtreme+Bluetooth2.0+EDR card. My early 2005 dual 2.3 G5 uses a normal Airport Extreme card. I too was confused about this. I used an Airport Extreme card I salvaged from a base station, it worked perfectly. I since moved onto a PCI 802.11n card since I couldn't find an 802.11n card that fit the slot (is this a standard interface that perhaps a laptop card fits?). I also thought the Bluetooth was tied into the card, but my G5 shows and active Bluetooth in Network even without the Airport Extreme card. Yesterday I got interested enough to see if it was real, so I decided to see if it could find my iPhone, and to my surprise it found it, so it for certain receives. I got it to pair with my iPhone using the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, BUT, after it paired I couldn't get it to connect, the spinning thing just spun indefinitely. Perhaps the Airport card is needed to enable the Bluetooth? It's strange that the Apple KBA would seemingly misled on this. I think have located the card for sale. It seems to be the same one that works in iMac G5 (A1126), but according to the description it requires another part (runway card) to work in a PowerMac G5. I cannot find the runway card anywhere. No. Mine I took directly from an Airport Extreme base station, it was a standard Extreme card, the same as most of the laptops and iMacs use, and it fit directly into a standard slot in the front beneath the DVD drive. The antenna wire is pre-installed close by and you only need to plug it into the card. No special runway card is needed. I guess that the backup plan would be to get a PCI-X wireless card. You don't need a PCI-X card, the PCI-X slots are fully backwards compatible with any standard PCI card. To my knowledge there aren't any PCI-X wireless cards. Any Broadcom or Atheros chipset card should work as native Airport, perhaps needing with a tiny amount of tweaking. Most others such as Ralink, can also work with extensions, but aren't recognized as Airport. -- 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.

Heavy duty, feels-good keyboard for typist with a vengeance
I'm a member of several of the LEM groups, as I operate a whole variety of Macs in a variety of situations at a variety of different times. I have my faithful PowerBook G3 Pismo 500 MHz with Tiger that I use for several hours every day; my sister has my PowerBook Duo 230 that I fiddle with every few months or so; my sister also has my old iBook Clamshell 300 MHz with OS X Puma that I've been upgrading for her; I bought an iMac G4 800 MHz with Tiger that my mother uses frequently throughout the day (and my younger brother plays SNES games with an emulator on it); I work with 2009 Intel iMacs at college for newspaper production and fun; and I am currently preparing to state my case to have an old Digital Audio G4 upgraded at college for use with a Yamaha Clavinova keyboard and Finale 2008. That said, I'm used to anachronisms. I'm probably one of the few people my age that wouldn't mind playing/working with System 7 (or earlier). I grew up unknowingly loving Macs, and my passion for this different breed of computers will continue as I purchase my iPad 3G in April. However, I am a very heavy typist. Between English, my college newspaper, emails, chats, and my yet-unfinished novels, I am constantly typing. My Pismo has a great keyboard for a laptop, but I wouldn't mind having something more comfortable and durable. The difference between the keyboards I work with and the keyboard I would like to have is like the difference between a cheap Casio keyboard and my college's $4000 Yamaha Clavinovas (as close to a grand as you can get in an electronic, complete with real piano levers/hammers and heavy keys). So, my question is, are there any of you out there that use keyboards in the caliber of the Apple Extended Keyboard and the IBM Model M? How do you like them, and would they be worth carrying around (with a USB adapter, of course)? -- 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: MDD problems - questions
Based on technology it seems feesable but could fry your processor. The bus speed on the 867 is 133 MHz the bus speed on the dual 1.42 is 167 MHz. This would be approximately 20% bus speed increase assuming the 867 processor is capable of running on a 167 Mhz bus this would over clock the processor by 20% this would put the processor up to 1040 Ghz. I'm more of a PC person than Macintosh and I know in a PC world for a 20% over-clock you need some really good cooling. I guess my point is I wouldn't recommend it unless you got kick butt cooling.

Albert Thanks everyone, I decided I would just jump in and give it a shot. Well there is no way the board will work. It physically wont fit. Although it looks the same there are differences that make it unable to fit in. I tried to get past some of the problem with just not putting the mounting screw back in because it wont line up. I figured I would give it a go without the screw but then there is the step of needing to force the board past the airport slot. If you manage that you will then be confronted with the processor hold down not lining up to the holes in the board and that means not being able to mount the processor to the board. I gave up at that point and decided there is just no way to mount the 1.42 board in the 867 case with a processor. I dont believe the 1.42 processor will even work even though it is made to fit the board the board simply will not fit properly in the 867 case. So for future reference -- no the 1.42 board will not work in an 867 case.
