Old Mac never die.

2010-11-28 Thread Norm Rowe


  
  
I have a G4 gigabyte Mac which was built in 2000 according to Tech
Tools and is now at 10.5.8 with many fire wire and USB additions
with a 1000gig processor and 2 megs of ram. It stays on 24/7 and the
only real problem was a power board failure last year. It is still
running. I'm really getting TO because there are getting to be very
few thing that will work on it. Now I understand that Lion will not
work even on some older Intel Macs. I'm on a fixed income so a new
mac is out of the question for now.

Update firmware

2010-03-05 Thread Norm Rowe
OK, I have a G4 and a new used main board. The firmware on it is 4.18 
and I need to update it to 4.28 or what ever the latest is. I have 
formatted one of my hard drives to 9.2.1 so I can do this. However the 
power button does not work. According to the directions I need to use 
this button during the process. I have asked several times, where does 
the power button store the settings? I have used the apple tech bulletin 
many times to reset the power button to no effect. I ask again, is my 
power supply the problem? I have tried 3 new batteries as well.

Thanks

Can anyone help?

2010-02-03 Thread Norm Rowe
Been here before and thanks for the help but my problem continues. First 
I can not afford a new intel mac or evan a good used ppc mac. My screen 
is now OK with a addition of new ATI 9800 Mac Pro video card. Now the 
power button still does nothing, the restart button does. Took out the 
switch and there is nothing you can clean. Tried pushing just the the 
switch, no luck. I have bought a new mother board on eBay and that does 
the same thing as the original board with the addition on not being able 
to connect to the internet. Put the old board back in and am now 
connected. Other problems. On restart the Mac still sometimes goes into 
open firmware and must type mac-boot. Eventually after several tries  it 
will boot up.  Apple jack reports "{ 41  918440 } UniNEtnet :: restart" 
over and over in pink letters after doing it's thing. Push return and 
then enter "exit or re-boot" to get going again. I have 3 hard drives 
which I have erased and installed new copies of OS 10.5.8 on each. I 
bought a Western Digital Passport drive less than a year ago and it was 
working fine until I switched from Time Machine to Carbon Copy Cloner. 
Now it will not mount. In disk utilities it shows up but will not erase. 
" No argument" is the error and the same when I try to partition it. I 
bought it at the Apple store and I am taking it back there to-day. The 
same thing happens with the new and old main boards. Does anyone have 
any ideas on how to fix this. The video board and the external drive had 
problems after the swap to CCC. I love my mac and want to have it 
working.  Where other than the main board does the mac store information 
that is causing my problems?

Power button

2010-01-13 Thread Norm Rowe




Somehow my G4 gigbit is is back. Out of 4 hard drives I
got one to finally mount after many trouble shooting steps. I had to do
an erase and install so many things are still not right but I can at
least work on it. The problem is the power button does not do anything.
Must unplug and replug in order to start the G4. Have a USB keyboard
with out a power button. Anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it.
Already set pram about 5 times and pushed the cuda switch. I have a
brand new install of the OS. Everything else seems to be OK.

FYI: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
My video became almost unreadable. After doing some trouble shooting I

Just some I hope useful information.

Wireless keyboard

2009-04-25 Thread Norm Rowe

I'm using a G4 Gigabit with OS 10.5.6 which has a 1 GHz processor with 1 
gig of memory. Bruce Johnson says the apple wireless keyboard should 
work with a blue-tooth dongle. I bought a apple wireless keyboard on 
eBay and a d-Link DBT-120 dongle also on eBay. I was told this should be 
plug and play. It's not and the only thing in the Application folder is 
Bluetooth File Exchange which shows "no bluetooth hardware" I have a 
disk that came with the keyboard which installs a keyboard updater. The 
d-Link has a disk but everything on it is for Windows. I erased and 
installed OS 10.5 and used the combo updater to OS 10.5.6 and still the 
keyboard will not work. Brand new batteries in  the keyboard. I have 
restarted with the keyboard on and again with it off. Anyone know how to 
get this to work?
Thanks

My G4 wired to a dLink 625 router and a Compaq laptop wireless to same router. 
Mac using OS 10.5.6 and the PC using Vista Home fermium SP1. How do I 
set up each so they can see the other?

F 12 key

2009-01-08 Thread Norm Rowe

The F 12 key is supposed to open and close the dvd tray. I was doing 
this until this morning. Now it opens dashboard no matter how long you 
keep it pressed. Last time this happened I did a reinstall of OS 10.5.5 
I now have 10.5.6. Is there a plist or something that can be replaced?

OS 10.5.5 on PPC mac. Have a Compaq Laptop with win vista. I know but my 
wife loves windoz. The lap top was sent in for repairs and came back 
with Vista reloaded and all her stuff gone. I use to be able to access 
her pc from my mac. Found that the ip address was changed. Under network 
her pc does not show up. If I click on "connect to" with the new ip 
address I'm asked for administrator user name and password. Nothing I 
put in works.  I do not know much about vista. Any one know how to set 
this up?
The use of no password does not work. I use to see my son in laws pc and 
the neighbors.  I see nothing now. I had some other problems so I did a 
fresh install of OS 10.5.5 and do not know if this messed up something. 
I have renewed the dhcp lease several times in network the  system 
prefs.  I do have work group listed and and the correct dns number. I 
have sharing turned on and the firewall set to accept all incoming. Any 
other ideas?
