What drive should I OS Mini G4

I recently bought an old Apple Mac Mini Desktop - M9686LL/B - 1.25 GHz G4 processor, 512 MB memory, 40 GB HARD drive

to use as a storage of iTunes

It came with no OS installed, or all records.

As far as I can find, it seems I need 10.4 Tiger BONES, but there seems to be a few different versions 10.4?

Some discs have a large 'X' on the face & others do not. I don't know what drives I need to buy. I'm assuming that there is a portable version and a desktop version

Is could someone please tell me what kind of Tiger 10.4, I need to buy.

Thank you

You need a retail Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 DVD or discs of the original computer. Another model original Mac discs won't work.

  • Qosmio X 500-10T: what setting should I change after upgrade SSD?

    Hello community,

    I'll upgrade my Qosmio X 500-10T (currently with two 512 GB drive HARD, although only has data on it) with a Samsung 840 series 256 GB 2.5 in SATA SSD Pro and then perform a new installation of Windows 8.

    My question: what settings should I change once the switching plate?

    I think there may be some settings in the BIOS that may need to be changed.

    Also, it is recommended to remove the second HDD due to possible performance issues along the SSD?

    Are the drivers on the windows-compatible laptop computer support page 8?

    P.S. I read on UEFI, is there a way to update/upgrade existing in UEFI BIOS?

    I know it's a lot of questions, but any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > My question: what settings should I change once the switching plate?
    > I think there may be some settings in the BIOS that may need to be changed.

    Usually, you do not need to change anything in the BIOS.

    > Also, it is recommended to remove the second HDD due to possible performance issues along the SSD?

    You may notice poor performance while moving or copying data from the SSD hard drive or SSD HARD drive.
    but to think that you can keep the HARD drive in the 2nd Bay for other files.

    > Are the drivers on the windows-compatible laptop computer support page 8?
    Do you think that some drivers Win 8 there?
    If so, they are...
    otherwise, you can try some Win 7 drivers in the frame to win 8

    > . I read on UEFI, is there a way to update/upgrade existing in UEFI BIOS?
    If you're going to see an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio X 500 with a serial number 6. XX or later version, then it would be a version of BIOS released to win 8 too

  • What temperature should we Envy 4 HP 1030us?

    What is the temperature of safe operation for my laptop?  At what temperature should I expect slowdow (as self-protection) system?  Can someone look at my readings and tell me if I have a problem?  Suggest this temperature I need to open the laptop and clean it?

    I checked the website of Intel, but they do not include a number of temperature useful for this model, which is not 'case No. temp', the only number is tJunction, which is 105 degrees Celsius, which must be melting.   I had unusual behaviors at much lower temperatures.  Image including diagnostic tools of temperature with must-be-bad-flame symbol.  I've read about en.kioskea.net safe temp for i5 is 70 degrees Celsius and 100 for latops - it's really hot.

    http://imgur.com/RBy49Wd

    Hello @DavidENJ,

    I see you have a few questions with temperatures. I'll try to answer for you.

    If at any time you worry about temperature, it never hurts to clean the laptop. This does not mean extraction it leaves again heat etc... Just a nice spray with little around the vents and fans canned air is usually more then enough to help lower time.

    This document may be useful in this regard too: reduce the heat inside the PC to prevent overheat.

    Looking at your screenshot, however, I'm jealous. I wish I was getting very good time. You're reaching lows of 35 ° c, for a max of 66ºC. All three utilities are very close with the reading. This is the good time especially on a laptop.

    My office, I am currently starting to 90ºC it will cool to about 70 ° c when idle. When I have the game, I push the brand 100ºC - usually pp. 97-99. It was bad enough to run my office, I had to close 2 hearts in my i7, as with all 4 is just stay pretty cool running (need to replace my radiator).

    Each mother/card motherboard in newer computers will have a temp were shut down, to avoid "fade downs." For mine, it comes to 100ºC on all hearts. Your laptop could be 105ºC on two nuclei.

    In general, you want to run around the range 40-45, computers cell phones can be more hot 45-55. It is slow, if you run cooler is always a plus. If you notice with loads heavy (a lot of things going on) you are temp must and can increase to up to 30 ° c (maybe less). Thus, under a very heavy load (games, streaming, etc) you could run at around 70-75 ° c, it would be 'normal '.

    It may still be hot, so a good solution can be added to a cooling tray. With this, however I recommend one that has its own power supply. If you get one that plugs into usb, you do only the computer work hard, he will always have a positive effect.

    in any case, I hope that this long-winded spiel somehow helped you.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • What exactly should I have?

    Although I'm an addict of the Acer, I just joined the community because I can't find the answer to my question.  I recently bought a Ultrabook through my Government company that had this description of a ultrabook that I intend to get.

    Acer Aspire S7 13.3 in. display 4 GB memory Ultrabook AS2500S1

    • Operating system: Windows 8
    • Processor & memory: I5-3317U processor Intel (1.7 GHz) 2.6 GHz dual-core with Turbo Boost technology; 4 GB memory
    • Storage: 128 GB Solid State Drive
    • Display & Design: 13.3 "CineCrystal HD LED backlit; resolution 1366 x 768; Black finish; Measure 12.8 "W x 8.9" D; 2.65 lbs.
    • Video/graphic: Graphics Intel HD 4000
    • Audio speakers: Built-in speakers
    • Includes: Built-in webcam and Microphone; Multi-Geste
    • Battery & connectivity: Up to 6.5 hours portable; WiFi; Bluetooth 4.0
    • I/o ports: HDMI 1; 2 USB 3.0 Ports; Intel certified card reader Thunderbolt
    • Approved ENERGY STAR: Yes

    When I arrived at the unit, he seemed to make the one I ordered, the box showed Aspire S5.  Then I searched this site for and S5 and it will not end.  I tried the AS2500S1 part number and unity, he showed was a V5 with features completely different and sold in another country.  When I search the SKU # 2312983, a mobile phone watch bundle.  Can someone say please 1) what exactly should I? (2) if there are, the S5 is cheaper than what I order?  (3) is there a difference?  Thanks in advance.

    Is what color? I think what the S7 comes color is white and the S5 is black. The S7 is the supermodel for acer. It features a 1920 x 1080 p screen, while the S5 has a 1366 x 768 p display. Also, I don't think that the S5 is a touch screen.

  • "Your drive should be checked for consistency.

    Hello

    I was wondering if you could help us?  I am running Vista on a Dell laptop and recently have been receiveing "your drive should be checked for consistency" at the start - it, then crosses the chkdsk to BACK process.  It goes through the process very well, deleting some files and move others. However, once I have connected to Windows, my laptop does work for a few minutes before freezing completely upwards. I thought it was just streaming elements that aggravate freeze it, but it seems to freeze no matter what I do.  I continue to have force a switch to stop/off that I can't even restart.

    Its been my computer completely unusable - is there something I can do to solve this problem, apart from buying a new one?

    Thank you!

    Katie

    Thanks - how could I do?  Is this a hardware problem?

    Sounds like it... You said, "it goes through the process very well, deleting some files and moving others." which tells CHKDSK is to find questions and tries to compensate for them.  However, who can only go so far and if there are internal physical damage on the disc itself (disk drive I guess - not an SSD) then the damage could extend.  Sooner or later, you might get to a point where you don't even have the option to boot.

    What your backups?

    You can find the manufacturer of the hard drive itself and get their diagnostic utilities and test the drive entirely with those.  That will tell you if you have real bad sectors and like it or whether a zero and writing with their utility and the new installation of the operating system could help.  It is more likely that it is a pity however.

    If you burn to a DVD disc in first items 10 and later versions, some choices are

    a. DVD-VIDEO standard screen or 4:3 16:9 on DVD disc

    Both will have the frame size of 720 x 480 pixels. But the big screen comes with a 16:9 flag that extends approximately 856/480 16:9 display video after encoding. The screening is not adjustable by the user... and you end up with the DVD-VIDEO format @ 29.97 images per second interlaced.

    b. format of the AVCHD on DVD

    Here is the video display 1920 x 1080. And, depending on the version, can be 29.97 images interlaced per second, or 23.976 progressive frames per second (if not just 29.97 images per second interlaced). Although you can generate some AVCHD DVD with a regular DVD burner, DVD AVCHD is in need of a blu - ray player that supports supported AVCHD DVD or one of these drives multimedia multi which is also.

    c. If the player allows... you can export your Timeline file saved on a USB Flash drive and then insert this USB Flash drive in the drive to get the reading of the file. On this route, you can set the Premiere Elements avancΘs to customize your choice of export preset.
