iMac G5 a1058 17 "- upgrades - need help"

I have an iMac G5 a1058 8.1, which gave me

I am awaiting delivery of an upgrade to 2 GB ram and when I installed what I want to do a fresh installation of factory.

She has had an upgrade to leopard, but want to wipe the hard drive and do a fresh install of leopard - I have 2 drives, it said installation DVD, the other says upgrade dvd. It has already installed a bunch of software I'm not bothered about keeping or may re - install later, but I don't want to keep is garage band as after the installation of the OS I install Ableton 9.1 as this will mainly be used as a music machine (where why I want to keep Garage Band.

I learned Garage Band came with ilife, but can't seem to find a disk or the original disks tiger that accompanies it.

SO, let's here the questions...

Can I use the installation dvd to format the new drive, then install leopard?

How can I transfer iLife and specifically the band garage located on the Mac now for the new installation?

I want to improve the 80 GB drive mounted at least 1 preference to a disc ssd hybrid 7200

will I need some kind of adapter fit that drive 3.5 in the G5?

There the mounted hard disk size limitations?

Brand recommendations?

I just had my 2nd WD die on me so I'm them avoid! Seagate seems a reasonable option...

Thanks in advance

I'll make sure I have a Time Machine current backup before doing anything.

Then Yes you must use the installation DVD to format the drive. Then you can install the operating system. After that, you can restore from the backup Time Machine as you wish.

BTW, I asked the moderators to move this discussion to the discussion area "iMac (PPC).

    On a mac, you choose things like ink, paper, print quality in the dialog box of the OS X system that opens after clicking on the button Print print of PES in the preview window.

  • R40 2681 maximum GB memory upgrade - need help

    Hello

    You just bought an old IBM Thinkpad R40 type 2681 and know nothing of these things. Sorry if these questions are in the wrong forum, but I can't find anywhere else, he could go.

    I tried searching for answers but the more I do, more confusing, it becomes so I thought I'd just ask and see if anyone responds.

    1. I read that the maximum that you can increase the memory is 1 GB, but also found that said you can go up to 2 GB of messages.

    What is the correct answer - 1 GB or 2 GB?

    2. If the answer is 2 GB, the R40 will be able to use all or only 1 GB of it?

    3. what brand will work in the R40?

    The unit currently has a 256 MB & 512 MB inside.

    4. it will make much more of a difference in the computer?

    I hate to bore you with these basic questions, but I don't know anything about these, or any other laptops.

    You can install any portable PATA/IDE size hard drive, a larger 320 GB / 5400 RPM.

    Quick PATA drives are 7200 RPM are no longer made, everything is 5400 RPM of today.

    You can install XP from a disk to the detail, or a set of recovery disks - your choice. Newer operating systems such as Vista and W7 doesn't play well with R40.

    Good luck.

  • Need help to diagnose the regular system analysis on iMac - processors maxed out

    I need help to identify the cause of a problem that occurs at least 2 - 3 times per day using my iMac (27-inch, mid 2010) running 10.11.5.

    I will use my iMac and then all at once things will start to really trolling. To the point of being completely unusable. Even if I'm able to move my cursor, then click to drag the windows around the screen nothing does really.

    I have iStat menus running so that can see graphics in my menu bar that all 4 cores are completely overfished. Occasionally, I was fast enough to launch the activity monitor to try to see what applications / services are responsible for, the use of % CPU column is completely empty of values, so I can't identify the culprits in a reliable way. I try to keep that column sorted by % CPU use in the hope that he could reveal something and normally it's the kernel_task who is up there.

    I use a Wacom Bamboo dated Tablet (MTE - 450 has) instead of a mouse, and at one point, I was convinced the pilot of PenTabletDrive it is based on was to blame. I contacted Wacom on this subject, and although there is no known issues they pointed out that although the latest drivers will allow me to use the tablet that they no longer support older devices. I was wondering if there was a problem of communication between the device and a driver that is no longer supported. I installed the latest driver supported for my tablet, but the problems persist.

    It may be interesting to note that, when my computer is in this semi-frozen state, I am able to launch the window enough force and quit all open applications leaving me with only the Finder. I guess that means that there are none of my apps running and it is probably one of the services. If I restart the Finder system grinds to a completely enclosed holt.

    I hope someone can let me know what I can find in the Console or elsewhere to help me finally zero in on what is to blame. I can share a log if that helps.

    Thank you in advance!

I also downloaded, 'Documents, applications, drivers, patches and O.S... How do I intsaller all these updates, I think that running the lowest version available, please help me... Thank you in advance.

    There are some instructions step by step on the site, but basically you check out the file "update.zip" download, copy to the root of a FAT32 formatted microSD card, then start in recovery mode (press one of the volume buttons [which it depends if you are landscape or portrait mode] and hold, then the power press and hold). From there, you can choose to update in the zip file it finds on the map.

    It is important before you have the correct version of the update, it's different for different regions of the world, and you will not be able to upgrade the (for example) Brazil version from the US site.

    Hi, I need help to find compatible processors (CPU) upgrade for my HP Pavilion DV6729ca laptop.

    I flashed the Bios Version: l58 (the latest version)

    I know that this laptop already added support for the Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile Processors T8100, T8300, T9300 and T9500 in the version of the Bios F.45.

    I would like to know if there are all the most advanced processors that are compatible as any Intel Quad Core or Intel Core Extreme processor, thank you.

    More information: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family.

    T7700 or T7800 T9500 is the best, is best bang for buck in used cpu market.

    mixture of the above with SSD (for example, V300) & second storage conducted if needed in a caddy optical bay more max ram for your OS version would create a fast machine.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones need HELP on upgrading to os 4.5!

    Ok.. This is my second time trying to updrage my blackberry... my problem is that I intalled just my Office Manger 4.3, so I upgraded to 4.6... After this is done, I deleted the vender.xml... once I connected my blackberry on my computer and a pop up came... it was like reading, though she had no update or something.

    I do not understand the difference on the softeware handheld and the desktop software... and when I go to the device sooftware I see it says upgrade to 4.5, I click it and download it but nothing happens...

    NEED HELP FROM MAJOR IM A NOOB ONE THESE THINGS LOL

    ANSWER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

    you have the Desktop Manager, which includes many things including:

    • a tool for synchronization of calendar, contacts, tasks
    • a backup tool
    • installation of application tool (to install applications on your device from the PC)
    • installation of an OS tool (for example, upgrade the operating system on your device)

    Desktop Manager available in many versions: 4.3, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7. Since you use a curve, no matter what version is right for you. The last is supposed to have fewer bugs.

    On the operating system : this is something else. There are many OS versions for the curve: 4.2 4.2.1 4.3 4.5. Function of your trailer, you can have access to some. You can install the operating system to another carrier if you want, it takes just to delete the vendor.xml file.

    Install an operating system : one way to do it is:

    1. Download the setup of the operating system on your PC
    2. install the OS on your PC. It will bring the BONE inside the Desktop Manager
    3. the Desktop Manager allows to download the operating system in the desktop to the Device Manager.
