Re: New internal hard drive for Power Mac G4
Thanks, Wayne. see if it's really the hard drives that are making the noise and not a fan or optical drive. Indeed, that's part of my problem. As near as I can tell, having listened and doubted and listened again many times, the noise is from the hard drives. And noise is really the only problem as yet - no weirdness with the system. (Unfortunately, I have nothing like the old Apple Hardware Test I got with OS 9, assuming that its diagnostic capability was beyond that of Disk Utility.) I disconnected power from the one acting as the main drive. No change. I disconnected and removed both drives and reinstalled them to my satisfaction. No change. I saw that the repair shop had jumpered both drives to Cable Select, whereas I had set them to Master and Slave all those years ago. I considered changing it back, but since the system was registering them as 0 and 1 just fine as it was, I let it be. The repair shop had connected the drives to different power cables. I put them on the same one (as they had been before) to see if this would tell me anything (it didn't). I disconnected the ancient and unused Zip Drive just to remove it from the equation in case it was even there. There are probably even more variables - cables? power supply? - but since a new and larger-capacity hard drive won't be wasted in any case, I've ordered one, having figured out the compatibility question. It's a 160 GB Seagate. I recall reading something to the effect that my system might not recognize more than 128 GB on it, but that's not a problem or a bridge I can't cross later. As far as I can tell. Oh, I did notice an oddity that might not be new except in the noticing. I used to see S.M.A.R.T. status in System Profiler. Didn't know what it meant, but it seemed reassuring to see Verified there. Since I'm using Disk Utility (booting from the install disc and restoring one hard drive to the other) more often now, and with (possible) hard drive problems on my mind, I happened to notice that Disk Utility says the S.M.A.R.T. status is Not supported. Since I know what S.M.A.R.T. stands for now, I gather that my hard drives are in fact not capable of warning me that they're dying. At least not politely. One good option would be to get an external firewire hard drive to back everything up on. (On a G4 a USB hard drive is very very slow, even if you have a USB 2.0 card) Yes, an external FireWire drive is smart policy in any case. Living on a shoestring and until recently having lived comfortably with 40 GB has made that one of those I'll get around to it things. For now, I copy one hard drive to the other more frequently, banking on the unlikelihood of both failing simultaneously. I have a lot of irreplaceable stuff backed up elsewhere already. Another option is to pick up a SATA card and add a SATA drive to your machine. I did that to my G4 when it was my main machine. It was noticeably faster than my original drive and I never regretted for an instance. Such possibilities have dawned on me as I've researched and reeducated myself lately. Please clue me in on the specifics of how you did this (drive itself is simple enough, but the cables and cards and such are where I need the help), bearing in mind that my technical prowess is slight and my technical intuition naught, and that I'm likely to ask um, what is that? and um, where does that go? frequently.

PM G5 DVD Drive Problem
I've got a bit of a strange problem with my G5 tower. It's a dual CPU 1.8GHz model with 10.5.8 installed. Recently, my DVD drive stopped being able to eject the tray. When pressing the eject button, the drive would buzz and click, but wouldn't eject. However, I was able to manually force the chassis door open and eject the drive tray using the paper clip option. Thinking that the drive motor had somehow lost power, or a belt was slipping, I replaced the drive - and had the same problem with the new drive. Time for a little background. Two years ago I bought this G5 used off eBay. Somebody at UPS drop kicked the thing, and bent the rear legs on the computer. When I got it, it seemed to work fine. Instead of going through the hassle of returning it, the seller gave me a $100 refund on the unit and I went about happily using it for a couple of years. Could the problem I'm experiencing now be because the frame is bent out of shape? If so, are there any remedies that don't involve replacing the chassis? I've also got a splitter on the power cable providing juice to a video card. Could the drive somehow not be getting enough power to eject? Doesn't seem plausible, but who knows.

The hard drives are both 6 years old Open the PowerMac and stick your ear in there, to verify that the sounds are coming from the drives.

If not, I'd bitch to Apple. You can install iTunes 10.1.1 on your G4, but it requires Leopard OS 10.5.8, which is supported for 867MHz G4 and greater. You can install iTunes 10.1.1 on 10.4.11 using Pacifist and it might work? I haven't seen that anyone has tried this yet, so you could be first if you're adventuresome? I'd try iTunes 9.2.1 first. Thanks Kris, et al, for the quick response. I will go to her place and download the 9.2.1 and see if that gets her going and report back.. Great Info, guys !!! I am confused though, by thinking that all the software updates were done a week ago and yet the version shown for her iTunes reports 7.3. Any comments on this ?
