Performa 5300 CF to IDE

[Alex Ander]

I have ordered a CF to IDE card from ebay. I'd like it to replace my old 
hard drive on the Performa 5300.
Do I just install it and and then install OS 8 from the CD drive?
DO I have to do anything else that I wouldn't do if it was a normal HDD?

Performa 5300 flashing disk with ?

[Alex Ander]

Hi everyone.
I decided to give an old Performa 5300 a go.
the built in monitor comes up and a disk with a question mark that keeps 
flashing.
I tried holding down the option key when booting up to see If it would give 
me boot up choices, but just the same.
Does anyone remember other boot option commands? It was running system 7 or 
8, I can't remember.
Thanks.

Re: FireWire problem in Mac Mini G4

Re: FireWire problem in Mac Mini G4
Thanks, Bruce, Alex, and Kris for your suggestions. Followup report so far:

1. Console does not say anything when I try to put the computer to sleep.
When I do that using the keyboard power button and selecting Sleep in the
dialogue box, the dialogue box disappears but nothing further happens.

2. I think that FireWire on the Mini and on the external drive may both be
kaput. I plugged the external drive into a Mac Pro and it did not show up. I
also plugged a different external drive into the Mini and it did not show up
(does show up on the Mac Pro).

3. I did a safe boot and reinstalled the OS 10.4.11 combo updater; did not
resolve the problem.

Next move I think will be to back up my files (via USB or Ethernet), erase
the HD, and re-install the OS. If all else fails, I will take Bruce's
suggestion and delete the FW driver so at least the computer will sleep. Or
maybe I will do that now. It is a PITA to have to shut the machine down all
the time.

 issue it turned out to be System software related if I remember correctly. I'm
 not sure what I did to fix it, but doing a Safe Boot (Shift key at boot)
 followed by a reinstall of the 10.4.11 PPC Combo Update couldn't hurt
 anything, and may fix the issue. If you boot in verbose mode (Cmd-v keys held
 at boot) and see it say max speed 400 when no Firewire devices are attached,
 this theoretically means it's working now as it should, problem hopefully
 fixed? 
 *  
 * If it's a hardware issue, it could be a problem with the external Firewire
 enclosure, when a Firewire bridge board (the circuitry in the external
 enclosure that adapts Firewire-to-ATA) goes bad, it can cause issues with the
 Firewire ports on the Mac

Hi /Tina,

Are we talking wired or wireless connections.

If wireless, would you consider resetting your wireless network
settings, including keychains? This is presuming you made recent changes
to your router.

That the speed on both machines is the same, would suggest that the
issue, the bottleneck is on your router. It's indeed strange that both
machines will trottle at the same speed.

If you have another router at home, I'd suggest you dig that out and try
it. Alternatively, if you can bypass your router, that might be good.

I'm willing to wager a few krone that the problem is the router.

Cheers

Re: FireWire problem in Mac Mini G4

[Alex Sciortino]

What does it say in console around when you try to go to sleep?

I have a Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz running MacOS 10.4.11.

A few days ago, two problems started:

1. The machine would not go to sleep. Neither pressing power button,
nor selecting Sleep in Apple menu, nor using keyboard power button
(dialogue box appears, but selecting Sleep does nothing. The machine
can be shut down or restarted.

2. The machine did not recognize its external drive, which is
connected via FireWire.

Tried booting into single user mode, while booting up shows message:

FWOHCI Error trying to clear PHY ports.

then

FireWire(OHCI) AppleID 31 built-in now active, GUID 001124ff
fed33758; max speeds 100.

Apple System Profiler shows FireWire Bus, but connected device does not
show.

Ran TechToolPro and the FireWire test could not be run. It was greyed
out, and the information panel that appears when pressing the i
button says FireWire Not Available.

Any suggestions appreciated. Also is there a connection between the
sleep issue and the FireWire issue?

Thanks.

I realize that. That was just in response to Bruce saying that it rarely

Whoa. There¹s a LOT to be done BEFORE an ³Archive and Install² is necessary.

1) Zap PRAM  reset NVRAM.
2) Safe Boot to rebuild System caches
3) Reinstall the Combo Update.

Only after these 3 all fail, would you consider an Archive  Install

PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 Boot Issue

[Alex Sciortino]

So, if the machine is restarted or shutdown, it will not boot for 5-6 tries.
When it boots, it is fine. The PRAM battery is definitely bad. The LCS did
leak, but has been repaired. It idles at 63c, so I am thinking that is is
possible that the previous owner who repaired the LCS may of used bad TIM.
Thanks!

Well at least you got the G5 sorted. IMHO, the monitor will need a recap. If

find capacitors with the same value, you can go up in voltage. Good luck!

PowerMac G4 Processor

[Alex Sciortino]

Hello. I have a dual 500mhz Powermac G4 that needs a new processor. I popped it 
into my 400mhz Mystic and had the same issue of no boot. With the 400mhz CPU 
both work fine. Where would I get a replacement and should I get the sonnet

Re: No video G5

[Alex Sciortino]

That isn't working either. Even the Leopard install CD won't work. 

It's possible the video got set to a mode the monitors don't support. Try 
holding down the shift key during start up to boot into safe mode.

I have tried both. I run the G4 in through VGA and the G5 though DVI. I tried

 On the outside? That's only holding in that side of the handle. On the

Re: Optical Drive

[Alex Sciortino]

I actually fixed it with the sellers advice. What you do is get that craft wire 
and fold it over four times and twist it to make it a relatively strong bundle. 
Next, you put it through the hole under where it get stuck and pull out 
extremely hard. Then you do it for the hole below it and repeat going down past 
the tray the drive mounts to 2 holes, than you go back up and repeat until it 
works.

Re: I am forced to go Intel? Common rant, I guess.

[Alex Barnes]

The reason why the battery can't be replaced is because it is so large, lasts 
10, 7 or 8 hours depending on your model and can take up to 1000 cycles. How 
does Steve Jobs decide what runs on Mac OS X??? An iMac with a Radeon 6970  
coupled to a Sandy Bridge Core i7 is a bad hardware decision???

  Apple's x86 hardware uses Intel TPM.  There are some at Apple who deny
 this, but the fact that Apple releases enablers to allow other operating
 systems to run seems to indicate that the TPM is really there and
 implemented.  Now, I could turn out to be wrong about this, and I would
 be happy to be proven wrong about this.
 
 Absent sufficient evidence on the lack of TPM, I have no interest
 whatsoever in Apple x86 hardware.  I have the quaint belief that when I
 buy a computer, I get to decide what runs on it.  I am accused of being
 insufficiently deferential to his Steveness, and I accept that as true.
 I won't use a computer where someone else can turn it off at will and
 decide what I can and cannot run.  OSX is quite nice, but the hardware
 decisions of his Steveness have been pretty bad lately, anyway.  For
 just one complaint of many, what kind of idiot would design a laptop or
 media player where you can't replace the battery?
 Have a good day,
 Ralph

Re: G4 MDD copper heatsink question

[Alex Barnes]

That is thermal paste. It transfers heat to from the processor to the heatsink 
(I think you knew that). Do you have a URL where I could see the picture with 
the thermal paste?

Re: G5 monitor fails to fire

[Alex Barnes]

Have you checked the monitor cable?
On May 11, 2011, at 2:59 PM, blindspot-smi...@yahoo.co.uk wrote:

 Yes, Kris
 
 Just to make it clear, taking into account your remarks.
 
 The monitor will eventually fire up - might take two, three, four G5 
 power-ups, 
 might have to leave it for hours and just sometimes it might come on 
 immediately. 
 
 
 Haven't successfully powered up in safe mode because you have to have the USB 
 keyboard plugged in, and it won't fire up with USBs plugged in.
 
 The ATI Radeon 9600 pro has an ADC and a DVI-I port so I have only used the 
 DVI 
 port.
 
 The adaptor is to allow me to use the monitor which only has a VGA port. The 
 adaptor goes from the DVI-I port on the G5 to a VGA-VGA cable which runs the 
 monitor.  I haven't tried a monitor which can take DVI-I. We do have one in 
 the 
 house but I haven't got a DVI-I/DVI-I cable.
 
 Once I get the monitor to fire with the G5 it works well, no wobble, a choice 
 of 
 monitor sizes, millions of colours etc. It also always works well with the G4 
 (using just the same VGA-VGA cable) I figure some loose component on the G5 
 card 
 is causing a voltage/charge drop. No bulging or leaking capacitors evident.
 
 Unfortunately I haven't got another graphics card to try so I was hoping 
 there 
 might be a dodgy component that always gives trouble and could be resoldered 
 or 
 something.

Speaking of LBA48... Yellow Dog Linux and Debian Linux both report and use the 
full 250 GB (because that is the size of my HD) in my QS 2001. But Mac OS 10.5 
sees it as a 128 GB drive. I know this has nothing to do with the thread. But

 Actually, the only significant difference is the ROM on the mobo, and it
 DOES NOT support LBA48 in the QS 2001, whereas it DOES support LBA48 in
 the QS 2002.

 Why can't the list managers make some kind of a rich text block on the lists

Re: Should I put Leopard 5.0 om G4 flat screen iMac?

[Alex Barnes]

On my Quicksilver dual 800 it took actually gave it better Geekbench scores.
It took a hit on the graphics performance though it was using a Rage 128.

   Can this Mac handle 10.5 without a lot of slowdown?
 
  The slowdown averages about 15% or so, you can check out the Xbench or
  Geekbench archives for exact numbers for your specific Mac:

Re: Timer

[Alex Barnes]

But you'll have to get used to the fact that it only has one chime. The iEgg 
has 10 different sounds and the iEgg Pro has MacInTalk (remember that?) 
installed so you can choose your favorite voice to tell you when times up!
 Two dollars for an egg timer!?
 
 You must be using an Apple iEgg or iEgg Pro?
 
 At any Dollar Store you can get a generic egg timer for only a buck. It won't 
 look as nice or work as seamlessly as an Apple iEgg, but with a little 
 tweaking it'll make a nice crackintosh.

Re: Better bootloader

[Alex Barnes]

The bootloader that comes with Linux mint is excellent. Too bad it's Intel only.

 For a GUI bootloader I don't know that you'll do much better than the OS X 
 native, the linux yaboot might work under these circumstances but it's not 
 GUI. That is if it's for a PPC Mac, there's a different bootloader for X86/64 
 linux that I have no experience with.

Re: Would you trust this ebay seller?

[Alex Barnes]

A dual 1.8 G4 in 9.2? I can't even imagine how fast that would be.
 
 Well IMHO In defense of the Dual 1.8 upgrade, some of us Mac addicts like to 
 get the old dogs dancing in the alley. Theres something to be said about the 
 wind up of the PM G4 fans not to spaek of being able to boot OS 9.2.2 which 
 the Mini's lack both features.
