PowerMac g5 help

Hi all, recently received a powermacg5, was running OS x 10.5 when I received it, but I had to give back the original hd to the former holder, since replaced by a new format 500 GB drive. now, while trying to install 10.4.3. all I get on start up is the gray screen with the mac folder and a flashing light (?).

I have tried resetting the smc and nvram, tried pressing the key various combos at the start, but nothing seems to work. I get not a start menu or anything outside the gray screen and flashing (?).

optical mouse usb is plugged in I get light, just the keyboard hooked up, only to get caps lock light after the chime.

have the g4 powermac to recover the disk and the disk OS x 9.0. downloaded 10.4.3 .dmg and .iso

Apple Power Macintosh G5 1.8 (PCI - X) (2003).

Help, please.

see you soon

Hi, I can't tell what you are starting off of, it's an installation disk?

  • PowerMac G3 minitour - identify a 333 MHz motherboard

    When I bought my first PowerMac G3 Beige minitour, I didn't know that, for what I was going to use it, I needed the version of 333 MHz, and one I bought turns out to be a unit of 266 MHz. Subsequently, I found a machine at 333 MHz and it's all configured and up and running. Now I want to transform my machine 266 a 333 to have as a backup.

    So, what I am wanting to know is this...  If I replace the motherboard on a 333 266 a, that is all that is necessary to make a machine 333?

    In addition, the part Apple no on my 333 motherboard is 820-0991-B. This means that if I find a motherboard with Apple no. 820 - 0991 - B, it will be a motherboard 333 MHz or there something else involved in the equation?

    If no, is there any there any identification #s on the processor itself I need to know, from (IIRC) it connects?

    Thanks for any help,

    The A, B, and C after the logic card number denote a logical Board review, not a processor speed. You want a Rev b or C - Rev A is supported only as a single unit by ATA cable so that B and C models support two - nice addin fo additional drives.

    Otherwise, the card G3 Beige of logic in the framework should be fairly generic. The G3 processor is nested, so it is easy to change the processor. One of my Beige G3s (both are rev C) began as a 300 mHz machine and I upgraded the processor at 500 mHz. You can just install a faster processor into the processor socket for a faster Mac - no swaps logic card are required.

    Other factors are controlled by a single processor jumper block. See this diagram:

    Is Apple is easy with a single base card which can be equipped with different CPU speeds using these riders. The setting for the jumper blocks are here:

    More overclocking here:

    http://lowendmac.com/1997/overclocking-beige-Power-Mac-G3/

    People get into trouble, try to change the bus speed 67 mhz by default and the PCI bus to something higher, especially of you had a sort of installed PCI card. However, you can leave these single speeds and still make some minor adjustments to only the CPU clocking riders.

    Apple had factory no block CAP that set all the parameters for a model at the same time. Overclockers remove the CAP from the factory a piece and use of small riders similar to those used on ATA drives (2mm I remember well), or simply to jump the connectors exposed in the block from the factory with a little short of gold thread.

    It's been long since I was inside my two beasts of Beige, but if you have any other questions, I can possibly to jog my geriatric memory of these things.

  • Does anyone have a work around for the design on PowerMac G5 2005 flaw that causes noise interference on the outputs? (Audiophile, sound engineer)

    OK, here's my problem - I have a set of audio interface Protools Digi 002 via Firewire 400 on a PowerMac G5 I was lucky enough to be given last year. I finally managed to connect my home recording studio system, he wire of mixer etc, but when I listen to the music coming from the outputs of the Digi 002 there in a great cacophony of audio interference, so much and so well, when I mount the system I can move my pointer between two monitors and it plays a different frequency of buzz. Everytime I open a window, Soft etc it is more electronic noise.

    He took a while to limit, but after reading this excerpt from wikipedia, it seems that it was a fault common to this particular model until Apple released the revised version of the B of the G5 (?);

    ' The first versions of the dual processor G5 have problems of noise . The first is ground loop- based interference,[5] that sometimes causes noise seeps into the outputs audio analogue. This bug has been fixed in Rev. B G5.'

    and

    ' Well that the noise problems do not prevent computers affected work, they asked problems for audio professionals and enthusiasts as well, especially for models to liquid cooling, which had been expressly designed as mechanically quiet for listeners. "

    Well, that's no euphemism - in fact it makes the mac completely useless for my needs, I need the outputs clean digital noise to send for outboard effects/EQ/etc.

    As it was a common fault, I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a workaround solution, as I can't imagine recording ground studios just stop until this has been fixed by releasing a new G5?

    The only idea that I came up with so far is to buy a transformer of isolation, but I'm not entirely convinced that will solve the problem?

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried CHUD Tools & turn off NAP mode?

    The first versions of the dual processor G5 have problems of noise . The first is ground loop- based interference,[5] , which causes sometimes analog audio output sound leaks. This bug has been fixed in Rev. B G5.

    The second problem of noise came from his "tweets", which can be triggered by power fluctuations. For example, display or hide the Dock makes a short beep. Many blamed the power supply used in the G5 as the cause, but this theory has never been confirmed. A very effective workaround is to disable microprocessors 'siesta' using Apple CHUD Tools, but this was not recommended by Apple. This noise problem has not set until the generation of dual-core G5s was produced, but it does not affect the model of "Late 2004" (at least there have never been reports). Draw of power fluctuation has been later attributed to the lack of power management features in processors simple heart. [6] Apple eventually posted information bug tweets on its support site. [7]

    Although noise problems did not prevent the computers assigned to work, they were problematic for audio professionals and enthusiasts as well, especially for models with cooling liquid, which had been expressly designed as mechanically quiet for listeners.

    https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G5

    Just one last note on the use of CHUD tools to disable the 'Nap' on the G5 Dual functionality: restart your machine reactive 'Nap '. You may have already seen this on the Apple forums. Kind of a bummer - although I rarely shut down my machine. In any case, running with 'Nap' off today seems to have resulted in a significant increase in general speed/responsiveness for me (I'm still running the stock 512 MB RAM, with another 1 GB on the way).

  • PowerMac G3, 9.2.2, and inability to format disks/diskettes

    So rather a strange question, but I have been unable to locate any information about any similar problem to what I saw. Currently have met a Performa 6200 CD and a Powermac G3 266 Mhz. My main problem is with the Powermac, and that it will not recognize or format disks (floppy and CD).

    If a disk with some data on it (Mac and PC format and all two accepted on the Performa), it gives only a message to initialize the disc and only Mac 800 K or BACK 800 k. However, an attempt to initialize the disk results in a clerical error and fails. The same error occurs when it is given to a blank CD, including the pop - up application initialization in the PC format, but fails every time. Disk utility ran and not errors in the system, so not sure on what could be the problem.

    Any help to solve this is appreciated. I am trying to recover data from floppy disks to backup my Mac SE (definitely failed SCSI drive), but while I can access most data on the Performa, only G3 gives the opportunity for me to move the files from Mac disks only to other CD/USB/Ethernet media.

    You do not "format" dtive optical media using the OS disk utility.

    For the CD, you will need to find a burning software that is compatible with the old Mac OS, as a version of olde of Roxio Toast that will run on Mac OS 9.2.2 for formatting and burning a disc with you setup to transfer data and burned to a disc.

    Search for Roxio Toast 5 this could work as its requirements are Mac OS 8.6 or later.

    https://www.Amazon.com/Roxio-Toast-Titanium-old-version/DP/B00005AW1G/ref=sr_1_1? ie = UTF8 & qid = 1470460272 & sr = 8-1 & keywords =...

    I don't think that any old version of MacOS had all abilty to burn discs in native mode. You need hardwarw/software of third parties to achieve this.

    I also believe, the CD drive is a CD-ROM drive and has no way to record on a disc.

    So you have to find/purchase/use an external, compatible player/CD burner in any case.

    In addition, referring to CDs, first Macs and early PowerMac that had integrated CD players could only read and use optical discs of 650 MB size and these discs had to be the r/RW type. These first Macs were unable to recognize the later 700 MB size CD - R /-RW.

    https://www.Amazon.com/Memorex-74-minute-10-Pack-discontinued-manufacturer/DP/B0 0000J4GS/ref = sr_1_fkmr1_1? ie = UTF8 & qid = 14...

    I'm not sure of your disk problem. There may be simply that the floppy drive has a problem with his read/write head that prevents the diskettes to be read or written on properly.

    There used to be floppy drive cleaning discs that could clean up the read/write heads, but I don't know if these are available any longer or if that resolve the problems with your floppy drive or not.

    I found a bunch of floppy drive different kits on Amazon of cleaning.

    So, check out this possibility, as well.

    So I recently got an old PowerMac G3 that came without a hard drive. I had some difficulty trying to install OS 9 on this subject. I created a bootable floppy and when starting I press and hold Option or C but I still get drive with an exclamation mark. He's not even trying to boot from the CD.

  • Power supply for Powermac MDD

    Hey all,.

    I got a Powermac MDD dead sitting in my room for a few years now that I picked up for free because it lights. I came to the conclusion that it was the power supply, so I took and threw it years. Now, here I am, no power supply and one useless MDD.

    I really want to get this thing to the top and running, but as the price of the power supply on ebay are absolutely ridiculous. I hope that someone here has a job, they are willing to participate with and sell to me. (Pay me for the part + shipping costs). Also interested in an OS disc that will work for the machine, so I can stand him up and running.

    If eBay is too pricing heartburn, try a Mac (MUG) user GFroup in your area. This site will help you locate a:

    http://appleusergroupresources.com/find-a-group/

    As a general rule, you don't have to physically visit the groups for assistance. Several times, simply by sending an e-mail "looking to buy" published groups addresses will receive a response.

    The other option is to look for a private LABEL job and use it for parts. The cost of a scrap computer may be less than the PSU.

  • PowerMac g5 won't install Leopard

    Hello

    I have recently bought a PowerMac g5 in early 2005 two processors to a surplus $ 2 store. A FLIGHT, I know.

    All this needed was to clear and rebuild components of watercooling.

    I bought a Mac OS X 10.5.1 retail disk to install on the machine and a new hard drive.

    After turning on the machine, I hear the chime and see the folder and the question mark on the screen.  It was my first indication that the computer actually works.

    After the installation disc loading and maintaining the option, I can see the drive in the menu "Mac OS X installation DVD.  I can click on the "go" arrow and the gray screen with the Apple logo to appear.

    I don't see however of any icon loading below the apple logo.  The machine remains stationary on the logo of apple for several minutes, then turns off.

    You guys could help me have install figure out what this is?

    I tried to reset the NVRAM with cmd, opt, p and r.

    I replaced the battery on the motherboard.

    I have reset the PMU with the button on the motherboard.

    I tried to replace the RAM

    In addition, the fans all the kick at full speed a few seconds after the chime. The fans are installed, and the plastic fairing is in place. There is no red light on the motherboard.  I read that the machine might need thermal calibration since after I removed the CPU.  Is this the case?

    Thank you guys a lot.

    Make sure you have the retail 10.5 Setup.  See this tip for more information:

  • Equium A110 - how to connect to PowerMac?

    Hello

    I'm trying to connect a laptop Equium A110 (XP Home Edition) to a 7500/100 MHZ PowerMac (o/s 7.6.1) to descend mainly photographic files.

    I need to be able to share files via a connecting cable Cat5e Crossover, which I said must connect to a PC, Mac to Mac, and in this case Toshiba PC on Mac. Is this possible?

    At a certain level of basic, the PC seem to see the Mac (in trunk of LAN - except if it means some migration authorization Code any?) but I can't get a physical connection that allows you to transfer files. The original seller of cable and Belkin have been no help whatsoever!

    I think that should be a computer server (most recent laptop?) and the Mac of a customer?

    I got a lot of people saying: 'it should be possible. "

    Miss a software or drivers in order to make a connection with success or have I missed turning a setting somewhere?

    I relaxed potentially conflicting software while trying to achieve this goal.

    TIA.

    JimJam

    Hi jimjam,.
    What do you to manufacturers so this isn't a hardware problem?
    You must do your homework!

    This is a problem that is bound to network protocols...
    what you need is a Router + 2 lan cables or a cable crossing of files, some time to read and patience...

    SMB or similar will do the job
    file-sharing rights are also required

    If you are not experienced in the network protocols, use a drive hard usb to transfer files

    use an internet search with "smb file sharing windows mac".
    I'm sure that the results give you useful answers

    BTW: the apple support site has a howto exactly for this problem
    so I won't copy and paste it here...

    Garret

    Hi Garret,

    Could be many things, we should start with this...

    «Try disk utility»

    1 insert the Mac OS X installation disc, and then restart the computer by pressing the C.

    2 when your computer has finished booting from the disc, choose disk utility from the menu of the installer at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)

    * Important: Do not click on continue in the first screen of the installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc to access disc utilitaire.*

    3. click the first aid tab.

    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.

    5. click on the ERD, (not repair permissions). Disk utility verifies and repairs the disk. »

    http://docs.info.Apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214

    Then try a safe boot, (now shift key at startup), run disk utility in Applications > utilities, then highlight your reader, click on repair permissions, restart when done.

    (Secure boot can remain on the gray radian for a long time, let go, he tries to repair the hard drive & clear the caches)

    If by chance you do not have your installation Disc, try at least to the part starting secure from.

  • LaserJet 4500 on Mac 0SX... help.

    Hi all

    I have a Laserjet 4500 dinosaur which I'm trying to understand how to operate on my G5.  It doesn't have a USB port.  I would avoid using a router if possible. If this is the only way, I'm going to plug and unplug the device according to the needs, but I prefer a direct connection.

    Maybe I could make it work somehow with the network cord

    I have a Powermac G5, OSX 10.4.11.   At present, the network port is connected to a modem DSL from Qwest.

    Could someone guide me through how to do it please?  I tried different things in the past and do not now remember what they were, but the end result is that I could never work.  At one point, a long time ago, he acknowledged, on my laptop, when I was able to get them all in network. I don't know how, now.  But then it stopped working.  However, my laptop is old, Win 2000 and I never use it.  I need to be able to print directly on the Mac, since that's what I'm getting.

    Help, please. I tried for over a year to operate.  I've posted on several forums of the printer, nothing helps.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit - since it is a network printer and which seems to create problems with get to recognize, I'm going to make this post in the forum to network printer.

    My first suggestion would be to buy a low-cost hub and turn the printer and the Mac on the same network.  Well, the question would be that your printer then get an IP from the LAN and be on the external web.  A router would be a much more practical solution.  Something with a wide AREA network and multiple LAN ports.  Then the DSL modem would connect the port WAN Mac and printer to two LAN ports.  Since most routers will distribute internal IP to the LAN via DHCP addresses and address translation allows to share the common WAN IP address, you should be good to go.  This is an additional cost, but also the most effective way.  This also gives you opportunities for future expansion.  Add another printer, PC, DVR, game system etc...

  • Need help to find an adapter for a third-party monitor

    Hi all! I find myself in need of a little guidance, and I hope that someone out there will have a quick n easy for me...

    I have a Mid-2011 27 'iMac. which has two ports Thunderbolt It is taken with a Wacom tablet that I use constantly, and the other is made by an external hard drive to a solid state, which has a built-in cable to Thunderbolt (no way to hang it on a different port). I also have a 27 "HP monitor that is currently connected via an HDMI USB adapter.

    The problem is that the HP monitor is actual "jiggy" - the USB does not seem fast enough to deal with requests for the monitor. It is almost unusable. I know I should run it via a HDMI adapter Thunderbolt, but as I have already mentioned the two my Thunderbolt ports are already in use.

    Someone at - it ideas? I need sort of three to two ports Thunderbolt hooks, but I can't seem to find anything for less than $300 that would work. (I am illiterate when it comes to the different cables, adapters, ports, etc., so I hope someone can point me in the right direction by using short words... Most of the products that I travel through list specifications that me Chicane).

    The monitor has two HDMIs and a VGA port, and my iMac has a Firewire 800 port, if that helps at all...

    2011 iMac have only 1 Thunderbolt port and there is no such thing as a Mid-2011, you must have an iMac of year later, if it has 2 ports Thunderbolt. All the 27 "iMacs, from 2012 to 2015 the current have 2 ports Thunderbolt.
