30" Monitor on Apple G5 2.5Ghz late 2004 version

Can anyone suggest the appropriate card - and supplier of a video card to drive this monitor.
Many thanks
David

The Nividia 6600 is for pci express slots, as is the Radeon X1900. (2650 x 1600)
If you have the ATI Radeon 9600 XT card, that is agp. You should also have pci slots. I talked to Apple, the pci express slots were put on the 2005 G5s, not the late 2004 models. Also, made the mistake of ordering it already....doesn't fit.
So far can only find ATI Radeon 9600 Mac edition (2560 x 1600 & agp), 9800 Mac edition or ATI X800 Mac Edition (2560 x 1600 & agp). Don't know what the difference is really except that ATI's site says that the x800 replaces the 9800???

CRASH REPORT
Product: Adobe Photoshop CC
Application running on:
Apple iMac 3.5GHz late 2013 / Mavericks 10.9.2
Application crashes without warning. Symptom: Drop down boxes go blank white (I shot screen captures of blank drop down boxes) and application stops working, actions for appox. 10 minutes preceding crash are lost. Force Quit required to quit unresponsive / frozen application and then Restart of Adobe Photoshop CC
Crash Frequency: Three time in this work day, 5.6.14 Once a day sporadically (approximately 10 times) in past two weeks.
Other applications running at time of crashes: Adobe Bridge - NOT effected. Computer was on line with no browsers open.
Otherwise computer continued to operate normally.
I have been using Adobe Photoshop CC for approximately two months.

Thanks, Chris,
I hope that this is the solution.
re: "And a crash report without an actual crash report (a long, detailed text document available from the crash report dialog), is not all that useful" :
I did in deed submit a homemade crash report.
I would have submitted "an actual Crash Report " and sooner, but: When this event occurs. there are NO dialog boxes. All frozen / blank. No possibility of "actual crash report" !
Thank you!

How do you get your tv to act as a monitor using apple tv?

Can you get your television to act as a monitor using Apple TV?

I presume you mean you want to view your computer screen on your TV by going through the Apple TV. Right now you can't do that but the next version of Mac OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, will allow Mac computers to mirror their computer screen on a TV connected to Apple TV.

Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
Question 2 (related):
This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
Thanks for reading this.

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

I have the same iMac as you but with a 1 TB hard drive.
Apple replaced the 1 TB hard drive of iMacs manufactured between October 2009 and July 2011 because of problems. When I took my iMac, the Genius gave me the bill (even if the repair was free) and the 1 TB hard drive cost about $100. This was with a 1 TB Seagate hard drive, so the cost for a 500 GB hard drive may be smaller, depending on the brand

Changed itunes apple password. iCloud asked later to put in iCloud password. Used changed apple password iCloud doesn't accept it. Tied old iCloud password does not accept that either. Don't know what to do

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

hey apple! why mbp late 2011 didn't have power nap?

Because it requires an SSD/flash storage, and they stated all over the place that a MacBook Air (Late-2010) or MacBook Pro with Retina display is required, since they are the only models with flash storage.

Dual G5 late 2004. Some problems with fan and freeze and now can't start

I just purchased a late 2004 Dual 2.5 Gig, with PCI-x and 1 gig ethernet. 1 Gig of what I presume to be factory ram and blue toothe. Connected to a new 23" Apple display.
The problems I have been having pale to where I stand now. I am stuck and can't move forward. At this point, the computer is off. When I try to turn it on, it does little to nothing and gradually the fan speed increases until the computer sounds like it wants to take off. The screen either stays dark, or sometimes I see the ? briefly, and then the grey screen with logo and that is where it stops. Currently I can't get past a lot of fan noise??
Can I get this thing started?? I have tried both starting from CD and hard drive. No luck.
This whole mess started yesterday and has continually gotten worse. Those details I can get into if needed, but for now, what can I do to see the screen and start over.
I just bought the machine, and I was doing a clean install that was acting funny. Hard drive sleep mode would cause the machine to not wake up. Specifically it was the monitor that would not wake up. The keyboard and the computer would still respond when I adjusted the volume. The screen was black.
I narrowed the problem to drive sleep, or monitor sleep by using the energy saver preferences. Just the monitor sleeping wasn't the probem. The computer would wake up. But if the hard drive went to sleep, then I could never get the screen back and the computer acted dormant. The only thing I could get was the volume sound from the computer and lights on the keyboard.
I ran Techtool Pro 4.1.2 ( i think ) and it reported possibe problems on the hard drive with the volume. I made the changes hoping that would fix the problem? No.
I decided to flush it all and start over with the install cd, make sure firmware was good, reformat the drive, and then install the System. But instead, I got caught is this loop of death that I can't get out of.
It had a kernal panic the first day I turned it on, but that was the last one. (dark screen with white message) The computer ran rather sluggish at times. I was shocked at times. Very slow finder response.
So? Suggestions? I have searched Apple support and tried anything I can think of. This is my first G5, but I have had some exposure to OSX beginning around 10.2. I am at my wits end and would greatly appreciate some input. For now I have to get some sleep.
Is my battery bad? It just won't start?
Thank you for any help you can provide, or links to articles!!

Hi Lawson, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!
You could try a PMU/SMU reset
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
Use the second procedure if you have a button as shown in the photo - use the first method if you don't. You may not have to remove the intake fan assembly to get at the button. Observe static precautions and make sure to press the button once only.
Then try to start up on the CD/DVD.
If it fires up ok you could then proceed with the 10.4 install as before, and then combo update to 10.4.8
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateppc.html
I would connect only a display, wired keyboard and mouse to start with - and disable any of the sleep, etc. Options in Energy Saver.
You may wish to use the Disk Utility on the 10.4 retail disc(under Utilities in the menu) to Erase and zero(select Security Options) the drive before the install.
The kernel panic and other problems could have been caused by a corrupted system on the boot drive, or by hardware problems, such as RAM, video card, battery, etc. Some of the hardware stuff is linked-to further down the post here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3084827&#3084827
However, try the PMU/SMU reset and erase/install first, and post again with details if you still have problems.

Why is my Macbook Pro Running So Slow. I have the i7 2.8 GHz. I Have the Late 2011 version. I Have 4GB Of Ram. Help!

I have a 2.8 GHz Macbook Pro with 4GB of Ram and also it's the Late 2011 version. It's also a i7. ALSO IT HAS 750GB, Why is my Mac Running SLOW!!!!!!!!

Frankly, I was dissapointed when I got my MBP last year. Moving from a single core, windows laptop with 2GB of Ram and an IDE HD, I expected better performance from my new 2.2Ghz i7 quad core, 4GB RAM MBP. I got the hi-res antiglare upgrade because more screen real estate is always good. I do a bit of multimedia work so I upgraded the HD as well to the 750GB 7200 RPM option.
I fired up my new mac, downloaded updates, loaded up my software and was off to fresh new beginnings. During the first week I started seeing the "spinning umbrella" Even during simple tasks. With only a few apps open the system was sluggish. Even the dock would jitter. Being a bit tech savy I opened up the activity monitor and saw that the system was running low on RAM. Who would have thought that 4GB of RAM would not be enough? My previous machine had 2GB of RAM and did the same tasks quite reasonably. Anyone would have concluded that a machine with double that would perform better. Aparrently not. At least not this MBP. I was so upset because I just spent about 2000 USD for the "best laptop we've build to date" WITH UPGRADES! and I'm going to have to spend more to upgrade the RAM.
Anyway I upgraded to 8GB of RAM and runs reall really smooth now.
My suggestion if your MBP is running slow, is to upgrade your RAM to 8GB or more. Check out the guys at Other World Computing, they have lots of upgrades for macs.
Here is a link http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade
The hard truth cut through all the marketing and hit me. I'll say it this way; a computer is a computer, is a computer. Forget all the hype. With the same specs, a mac gives just sbout the same performance as a PC. That said, I really love my MBP(now that I have 8GB of RAM). This mac gives me the best computing experience I have ever had. Apple really shines in their User interface and user experience. I really love the gestures and hot corners, and mission control. I usually have a lot of apps open the same time, so those features really help in switching between my apps.
I'm going to further upgrade my RAM to 16GB and upgrade the HDD to an SSD pretty soon. I want my machine to be really snappy.
I hope this was helpful.

Ibook G4 late 2004 model charging intermittently-flashes amber then green

Hi there, i have an ibook G4 14 inch late 2004 with mac os x 10.4.11. my previous 45w power cord needed to be jiggled in order to power the laptop (it was pretty damaged). yesterday, it stopped working completely, so i went to the apple store and bought a new 65w power cord. of course, it worked perfectly in the store. when i went home, it seemed to work perfectly until the battery reached about 37%, then it started doing this weird thing. while plugged in, the light on the power cord started flashing, changing from green to amber. it will be green for about 8 seconds, then amber for about 6 seconds.
it does this whether the computer is being used or shut down. while i was using the computer, the battery drained pretty quickly, so i shut it down and left it plugged in overnight. overnight, it seemed to have charged a little bit. the battery says it is 55% charged and, when i open my energy saver on system preferences, it will appear as if it is charging while the power cord light flashes amber, then stops charging when the power cord light flashes green. as i said, it will be amber for about 6 seconds, then green for about 8 seconds.
i tried resetting the PMU, but it did not work (perhaps i did it incorrectly?). i then tried to reset the pmu and the pram via these instructions:
turned computer off.
Make sure the Caps Lock key is not down.
Restart the computer. Immediately after hearing the startup sound, simultaneously press and hold Command-Option-P-R. (If you do not hold down the key combination within 5 to 10 seconds after the computer restarts, you must repeat steps 1-3.)
Hold down the keys until you hear the startup sound again. Then release the keys.
If the computer shuts itself off, press the reset button on the back of the computer to turn it back on.
that didn't work. then i tried to just reset the PMU again (via the support instructions) by turning the computer off, then simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Did not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
Waited 5 seconds, then pressed the power button.
that didn't help either.
i have been trying to figure this out but have not been able to thus far. of course, aside from being able to read, i have no computer savvy whatsoever. ANY help would be so appreciated. sorry i typed so much, but since i do not know much about computers, i was unsure what information was most pertinent.
thanks again, SOOOO much, for any help. i would be glad to answer any medical questions as a thank you.
here is the info from the power portion of the system prefs (with the power cord plugged in):

There may be other issues in the computer's hardware, such as the
battery; as it should have about 4,000 (mAh) in full capacity when it
is charged and the one you have appears to be at best, 50% of that.
Also, there is a chance the DC-in Board may be defective or have a
poor internal connection where the AC Adapter plugs into the iBook.
There are some pages at iFixit.com about how to remedy this defect;
and parts are available to repair this, still. (But suspect the battery, 1st.)
I'm looking at the charging information on your log report and wonder if
the battery is the reason why there is a Zero, in that section; or if there
is some DC-in Board reason. Without a known-good battery, it's hard to
tell what else may be going on. Unless you take it to a Genius bar...(?)

Troubleshooting power related issues in a portable computer can be a
bit tedious as the computers age, and potential sources of the problem
may be at play in there, at the same time.
There also is a matter of calibrating a battery on a routine basis, to be sure
it works correctly and the microchip controller for charging it is working OK.
• Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490?viewlocale=en_US
The battery is the most likely culprit in the matter of the charge light indicator
changing color from Amber to Green and back again, like that. This is a matter
of troubleshooting, so if you know someone with a healthy iBook G4 battery
(as noted in Profiler's battery or energy information, hi-power/low-use cycles)
you may be able to check the activity without additional purchases.
Be sure to get a replacement battery from a reputable company, as some of
the third-party cheap imports have less battery capacity when new than an
old partially used Apple battery would have. (And flaky warranty, too.)
The battery is the most likely item, at this point. A replacement is suggested.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have a Mac Mini late 2012 version and i am trying to reset to factory setting.

Hello, I had a bought a Mac Mini late 2012 version a couple months ago, and after i tried to install "pro tool" on my Mac, and FAILED. my Garage band wouldn't open anymore. it only tells me "garage band quit unexpectedly" when i open it. I tried uninstalled it and reinstall it again, but it still won't work.
So now, I want to jus5 restore the whole Mac mini to factory setting and erase everything in it.
I had read some of the threads in the community, and the Mac mini late 2012 doesn't come with an OS disk.
Therefore, is there anyone can tell me how i would be able to rest the Mac Mini later 2012 version back to factory setting and erase everything in it?
Thank you very much!
PS: i am not using Apple keyboard.

So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Of course if it's not booting up, it's easier to fix in place
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents#/
...so I am trying to boot from a USB recovery drive but when I select it nothing happens it just goes to the restore options
"Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
Most commonly used backup methods
So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

IBook (Late 2004)- Thought it was a disk problem but now out of my depth?

Hi all,
This a really strange one.
I'll give you as much to go on as poss... Long post alert!!
(I'm wondering if I perhaps have more than one problem..?)
I have an iBook G4 (Late 2004) here, 1.2 Ghz, with an 80GB factory installed HD. RAM maxed out, but unaltered for 4 years. No new software or other recent changes.
It started acting wonky, freezing, crashing etc, so ran Disk Utility to repair permissions. Closed itself down halfway through, then wouldn't boot at all, just showed flashing question mark.
In Target Disk Mode, Disk Utility showed "*Underlying task reported failure*" and Disk Warrior couldn't replace directory "*due to Mac OS X services failure*".
(Did show me red than I've ever seen on using DW before though!)
Tried to boot from install CD but wouldn't start up. The only CD it will boot from is Apple Hardware Test, which showed "*Error Detected*" for Mass Storage.
OK, I thought, the disk is 4 years old, time to get the screwdrivers out.
Using the ifixit instructions and Spudnuty's helpful suggestions (+BTW, thanks!+), successfully changed it for a WD 250GB Scorpio disk (£90, MicroAnvika), and then using Target Disk mode again, initialized it and used Carbon Copy Cloner to restore my last full clone (6 months old though... I know, I know!).
Restarted in 'standalone mode', repaired disk permissions (SMART showing Verified), all seemed to be functioning OK, then tried to start up from Disk Warrior to double check.
Now all attempts to start up from DW or Install CDs result in Kernel Panics or blank grey screens, although Apple Hardware Test still runs and shows
*ERROR CODE: 2STF/8/3: ATA-100 ata-6-Master ERROR CODE*
In Target Disk Mode, both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior are making the same reports as before the Hard Disk exchange.
So I pulled the 1GB of RAM (Crucial) which has been in there for 4 years, and also took off the battery, and hey it started up ok!!
Ran Disk utility- SMART status Verified, but repair permission "*lost its connection with Macintosh HD*" halfway through. At second attempt, it repaired ok.
Tried to start from CD again, several attempts result only in booting to-
" *Invalid Memory Access at %SRR0: 72b82dc0 %SRR1:40003030*
*Apple PowerBook 6,5 4.8.7f1 Boot ROM Built on 09/23/04* " etc etc
*Welcome to Open Firmware*" etc etc, where entering "shut-down" hangs and "mac-boot" flips me the Flashing Question Mark again.
I've tried resetting PRAM (several tries no changes), tried starting up in Single User mode, Safe Mode etc etc... makes no difference.
So here's the question-
Is it possible that the ATA bus is to blame? (What's the fix?) Or suddenly bad RAM?
What else can I do before I concur with the service manual that the logic board needs replacing?
I'm loath to give up on it, it's been a good friend for years! (On the other hand, I can't justify spending too much on it either...)
Any ideas? (and sorry, brevity apparently not my forte!)
Andy.

The point is up to your needs. They are nice machines, and if you can have it repaired, there is no harm in trying to be environmentally friendly by making it useful again. Updating to new software may be more trouble than it is worth depending on how old the software you currently have installed, and your finances for new software. Or getting a working used or refurbished Mac might be another option. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html

Maximum internal HDD space on Dual G5 (late 2004)?

I currently have a stock 80 GB and a user-installed 300 GB. I do a lot of video. So I plan to move the 80's contents to the 300, and the 300's contents to a new 750 (Fry's has them on sale this weekend). But I got spooked when I googled for PowerMac G5 tech specs and found one page stating that the maximum internal HDD space was 500 GB between devices. However, no size limit is listed on the Late 2004 PowerMac's tech specs page at http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMac_G5_Late2004.html .
So, can I go ahead and get the 750, for a total drive space of 1050 GB?
Thanks in advance.

Hello! OWC lists drives up to 1 T for your machine. There have been some problems with some G5's so if you want to look at an individual drive check the XLR8 drive compatibility database. Tom
