Adding bluetooth to a power mac G4

I"m getting a G4 tower as a back up mac and it does not have bluetooth. The only keyboard I have is the wireless keyboard connected to my macbook. How can I add bluetooth to the G4 so I can use the wireless keyboard with it?

Hi-
Yes, you can. Get a D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth adapter (rev B2 or later).
Very easy, and works very well.

  • Adding Bluetooth to my Power Mac without USB.

    Hi,
    I'd like to add Bluetooth to my 1.8GHz Dual G5 Power Mac as cheaply as possible without using a USB port. Any recommendations for cheap PCI cards pleases.
    Thanks
    Max

    I have one of these plugged into my keyboard:

    I bought one like 2 and 3 (thou (2) got his pricing wrong and was only £2.75), one for my G5 and one for a windows laptop. I found that (2) dongle kept loosing my bluetooth mouse. I swapped the dongles over and found my bluetooth mouse preferred the (3) (only £1.75)
    So any above should work and if plugged into your keyboard or the front of the G5 wont take up a USB at the back.

  • Adding Wireless to my Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) - Can anybody help?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if somebody could help me add a wireless connection to my Power Mac.
    Firstly, is the MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless PCI Adapter compatible with my Power Mac G5 (Late 2005)? The fact that my Mac has PCI Express slots makes me think it isn't compatible. There's also a USB version of the MAXPower Wireless Adapter, but I have a feeling this won't work as good as the PCI version.
    Secondly, can anybody recommend another way to get wireless connectivity working with my Mac?
    Regards,
    Daniel Cesana

    hey... i just got done going through this same issue...
    basically, if you are capable of spending about $235 + S/H you can get the card that was supposed to come with our G5's. otherwise... stay away from the usb emulators because they seem to have power issues and mde some of my other usb components drop out... all worked fine when i unplugged the usb adapter?!?!
    card
    that is part the combo card... there is another one that plugs in on top. our towers came with the internal antenna so the external one is not needed.
    i am still debating on getting it... not that i need to be wireless, but just to have it for future upgrades like the bluetooth accessories.
    cheers!
    --- oh, and i looked at the card you linked... it says mac compatible so can't see why it wouldn't work?!?!

  • Adding and configuring a second hard drive in a Power Mac G4

    I am using a Power Mac G4 with the original 20GB hard drive and running OS 9.2.2.
    I would like to upgrade to 10.4 (Tiger) installing it on a 80 GB Seagate Ultra/ATA 100 which I need to install as a second hard drive.
    This is where my problem arises. From what I have read I cannot install OS 10 on a drive configured as SLAVE. On top of this Apple article ID 106728 has a note not to “change your Apple –installed disc drive to ATA ID-1 (slave) when adding other ATA devices.”
    Is this article correct or am I misunderstanding it? I was hoping I could just install the new drive on top of the original and switch the configurations of the drives making my original drive the SLAVE and the new drive MASTER and just install OS X on the new 80GB drive.
    Or can I put the new drive in the position of my original drive configure it as MASTER and put my original 20GB drive above it and configure it as slave?
    I am hoping someone can let me know if these configurations will work.
    Another question is: If I switch the position of my original drive will I lose access to the data on it?
    I would like to keep the OS systems on separate drives because I need to continue to run my old software and Heidelberg scanner (SCSI, running on LinoColor Elite 5.1 for which updated drivers are not available). This will not be possible in classic. I want OS X on the larger drive as I will be loading updated software eventually and it will become my main OS system.

    Hi, Thelisa -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    Is this article correct or am I misunderstanding it?
    Yes, to both - the article is correct, and yes, you seem to be misunderstanding it.
    In the context of the article, "Disc drive" does not mean a hard drive. Earlier in the article it states -
          Solution
          "Disc drive" refers to CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, Combo drives, SuperDrives.
    The reason is that on most (if not all) G4s, an optical drive must be jumpered as Master in order for it to be a bootable drive. So, if an optical drive has been jumpered as Slave, it can not then be used to boot from the OSX Install disk.
    You will need to place the drive to be jumpered as Slave in the top position of the bracket (the drive sled), and the one jumpered as Master in the bottom position of the sled.
    The reason for this is the location of the connectors on the IDE ribbon cable (the data cable) - the one jumpered as Master needs to be attached to the end connector of the cable, and the one jumpered as Slave to the middle connector of the cable.
    Because of the physical limits of the cable itself, the one jumpered as Slave must be on top, else the connectors won't reach to the proper drive.
    Which drive is jumpered as which is your choice, but the one jumpered as Slave must be on top.
    If I switch the position of my original drive will I lose access to the data on it?
    No.
    The designation of Master or Slave is, for the most part, simply to allow the Mac to have a unique physical address for each drive, so it can tell one from the other (this is separate from the pathname addressing that the OS uses). Re-jumpering a drive nor changing its physical location will not affect its contents nor their usability.
    One result that may be important sometime is when the machine in question is set up as the Target machine in a firewire Target Disk Mode arrangement - only the drive jumpered as Master will be visible on the Host machine.

  • Will adding more RAM to my Power Mac G5 make a difference?

    I have a Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) with 1 GB of RAM, which is how I ordered it. Sometimes when I am viewing large (large viewing size) video files with Quicktime, the video files get a little choppy from time to time, especially when I have many other applications open. Will adding more RAM fix this or is it not really necessary? Also, does Leopard improve this problem? I am currently using Tiger.

    Hey Tim
    I'm definitely not an expert - but more Ram makes a huge difference. I'm not sure if more Ram will specifically solve your Quicktime issues or whether upgrading your graphic card is really the answer. Those more knowledgeable should jump in here. Buying Ram from 3rd parties, like OWC (making sure you do have the right compatible Ram), will improve your performance immediately. I noticed the difference when maximizing the RAm on my G4. It cannot hurt. 4GB of Ram for my G5 cost less than $200. I think Ram is the biggest bang for the buck.
    Do you really need to get Leopard? The performance of Tiger on the G5 for me is solid. Seems like Tiger is optimized at this point for the G5 processor chips. Why muck around with all the potential problems you read about on these forums. Check out the Adobe forum and hear some of their nightmare stories. Who has this amount of time to waste on fixing what shouldn't need fixing in the first place. Just a thought - hope I'm not out of line for chiming in on this.
    Since your model can take 8GB of Ram, indulge yourself and maybe buy another 4GB of matched Ram and if it doesn't solve your Quicktime issues, I'll bet it will make you happy with everything else.

  • Power Mac G4 bluetooth module

    Hello,
    I have a dual 1.42GHz model FW800-equipped Power Mac G4 (the fastest G4 Apple made.)
    I bought it, and it's like it's never been opened! The original Pioneer Superdrive is there, original Seagate 120GB HDD (with a    logo on it),
    original 2x256MB Samsung RAM sticks, and the Radeon 9000 Pro, and everything works fine.
    I'm in the throws of upgrading it, and I have got 2GB of RAM, and Tiger on it so far.
    I have found the original Service Source online, and it shows how to replace an internal Bluetooth module that was apparently an option on FW800 G4s.
    It connected to a little blue antenna cable (that my tower has), and connected to the logic board via a little connector (that my tower also has) between the AirPort Extreme slot and the 56k modem.
    With this info, my question is-where can I get one?
    And before someone writes this, no, I don't want a cheap external dongle. G4's have only 2 USB ports as it is, and I don't have a PCI card.
    Thanks!

    where can I get one?

    I don't have a PCI card.
    Get one.
    More precisely, any NEC chipset USB 2.0 PCI card is great in OS X Tiger and Leopard (native NEC chipset support).
    Some considerations are discussed on my page that follows:
    B8B574BC-BB45-4B3E-9D9B-F97EBB3230BC.html
    You can get a NEC chipset PCI card for just a few dollars..... good, cheap upgrade.

  • Looking to buy a Power Mac G5 - some input please

    Hello,
    I have an older MacBook Pro 17" and a newer Imac I plan on selling. I want something good for video editing via FCP.
    I have been looking at the Power Mac G5 but I am no computer expert.
    I can buy an older used one with the following congif.
    The G5 is about 3 years old (I'm told) but was almost never used (I'm told).
    - Comes with 23" LCD
    - Has a total of 5.5 RAM (added to original 512 config)
    - Airport Extreme Card
    - Leopard OS
    - original box, manuals and disks
    - Original order number: Dual 2.5GHZ SuperDrive M9457LL/A
    - L2 Cache: 512K per processor
    - Frontside bus: 1.25GHz per processor
    - DDR SDRAM main memory: 512MB PC3200 (400MHz) Supports up to 8GB
    - 8X AGP Pro graphics: ATI RADEON 9600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM
    - Hard drive: 160GB Serial ATA; 7200 rpm
    - Optical drive: SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW)
    - PCI slots: Three open full-length PCI-X slots: one 133MHz, 64-bit slot and two 100MHz, 64-bit slots
    - Expansion: One FireWire 800 port, two FireWire 400 ports (one on front)

    - Wireless Internal Bluetooth module with antenna & Bluetooth Wireless keyboard & mouse
    - Display: Apple Cinema HD Display (23-inch flat panel) M9178LL/A
    Question: Would this be a good computer for video editing?
    What should I expect to pay for this complete configuration?
    Thank you very much for you input!
    Tammy

    Using the website Mac2Sell, I get a value of about $1,400 for that config (not including the monitor).
    While this machine could be just fine for video editing with Final Cut Pro, it does have several drawbacks:
    1) Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 and above can leverage the graphics card for some effects (the FxPlug ones). The Radeon 9600 in this one is a very slow card, and won't provide much benefit for those effects, or for running Motion in general.
    2) You'll need to add a separate hard drive if you're going to do editing. Perhaps you already have an external drive that you've been using with your MacBook Pro or iMac.
    3) Since this machine is about 3 years old, it's out of warranty, even if it had AppleCare on it. So, any part failure would have to be replaced out of your own pocket, and this can get very expensive depending on the part.
    For around $2,000 to $2,300 you could get either a refurbished Mac Pro or a brand-new entry level Mac Pro. Both would run circles around the G5 you're looking at. While I love my PowerMac G5, the Mac Pros are much faster, especially since the Mac Pros have at least four CPUs and the one you're considering only has two. Add a Dell 24" monitor and you'll have one great editing machine.

  • Power Mac G5: A common dilemma: to upgrade or buy new

    I know there are a lot of discussions on this topic going around, but everyone's needs and uses are different, so I'd appreciate any input on my situation.
    I own a Dual 1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 with only 1GB RAM and a failing 160GB hard drive.
    At this point, I basically only use this machine for web browsing, iTunes, and Garageband, and am running Tiger.
    I had been having some major hard drive problems so I wiped my system and re-installed Tiger , importing everything from my iBookG4 (which, I recently dropped and the screen connection has failed and is unusable except for as an external hard drive in target disk mode. it is probably too expensive to fix for what its worth so I will probably try to sell it for scrap).
    Anyway, everything was ok for about a week until I opened firefox and noticed all my settings and bookmarks were gone. When I restarted my computer, my music, pictures, documents, and movies folders were all unable to be located (although my applications were fine and my hard drive still showed that the space was the same). I'm not sure if I imported some problem from my iBook or if my hard drive was just messing up again, but I've decided that I either need to upgrade or get a new computer.
    Basically, I am thinking about upgrading my memory, getting a new hard drive, and upgrading to leopard (mostly for time machine). Or, possibly getting a new iMac or waiting a bit and then getting a new iMac or even (gasp) a PC (highly unlikely).
    I was going to get the memory from ramjet and I was thinking of only adding 1GB to make 2GB but could be persuaded of getting more but 400Mhz DDR memory is a bit more expensive than other types. As for the hard drive, I was thinking about getting a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 320-GB Hard Drive with a 16 MB cache. I could pay $15 more for a 500GB with 32 MB cache but i really don't need the space and am unsure whether the cache will really help much. Seagates used to have a pretty good rep I thought, but now they seem to be getting mixed reviews, so I don't know.
    Obviously, I am no computer expert, so any help would be great. Would it be worth it to spend between $250 and $325 to get the memory, drive, and leapord when I could maybe sell my G5 and my 23" apple cinema display (the old clear kind) and get an iMac? I could maybe get about $700 - $800 for the G5 and around $300 - $350 for the display. Will an iMac be faster than my G5 with the upgrades? I don't think I need a mac pro for my current uses.
    Thanks for your help. Feel free to offer advice on what to do with my iBook too.

    Memory: $60 for 2 x 1GB, I'd call that very affordable.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/3200DDR2GBP/
    Disk drives: 2 x $69 for pair of WD Caviar 640GB
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Western%20Digital/WD6400AAKS/
    It is not about capacity as much as speed and quiet, cool, and how well it handles OS X. I use half the drive, other half is unformatted free space. I'd skip the Seagates. 7200.11 is current.
    I expect new iMacs in '09 as they are overdue.
    Hard drives you keep or put in FW case.
    Current Leopard is 10.5.4 DVD but would be nice to see another DVD now with 10.5.6, $109 (Amazon, maybe less Newegg?).
    iMac vs others:

    Sounds like three things you may not be doing or have:
    SuperDuper for backups. You don't need Leopard.
    Disk Warrior. Everyone, or I should say "HFS+" needs #1 disk repair utility.
    Backup drives. Two backup sets you switch between, and a small "emergency" partition on one for running Disk Warrior and such.
    I replace or move older drives to backup use and put new boot drive in on a yearly basis. Some new drives and memory should be all you need. A couple people even stress their system with graphics and video, and upgrading to 3 or 4 new drives revived their system so that they could hold on and wait another year.

  • Power Mac G4 MDD won't wake from sleep mode

    I have a Power Mac G4 MDD 1.25GHz with a 15" Apple display and running 10.4.
    I can not wake the computer up from the sleep mode. It will not respond to the mouse moving, a mouse click, a keyboard key, the power button on the display or the power button on the computer.
    The only thing I can do is force the computer off by holding in the power button (on display or computer) and restarting the computer.
    The computer is set to go to sleep after 1 hour of no use (or the issue happens if I put it to sleep).
    Any thoughts would be great.

    This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
    Here is KB article HT1776 with their tips.
    Mine follow;
    USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
    If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
    If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
    If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
    "I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
    Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB cards.
    Also, here is Apple doc.#305262 about PCI cards and sleep.
    tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
    After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
    Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
    Check the printer queue!"
    Good Luck!  DALE

  • Power Mac G4 sleep problem

    Hello!
    My G4 (mdd) won't go to sleep anymore. Neither on its own via energy saver nor when you press the power button or select sleep in the apple menu. Does anyone know what to do?
    I already unplugged my USB devices, didn't help. Then I trashed my energy saver and bluetooth preferences and reset PRAM by pressing <commandoption+PR> at startup, no luck. I read all the previous posts about this issue and did everything they said, but it didn't help.
    maybe someone has an additional suggestion.
    Thank you!

    A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
    WAKE UP
    In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
    FILE CORRUPTION
    Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
    ENERGY SAVER
    If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
    -/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    -/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--(username is your name or System Administrators name).
    -/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
    A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
    In some cases, running MacOS X's cron tasks-maintenance that the OS performs automatically if you leave your Mac on 24 hours a day-can resolve many sleep problems. If you don't want to leave your Mac on, you can use MacJanitor, Yasu, or OnyX free at Versiontracker.com.
    Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
    Yours would be the 10.3.9 combo update. Others here would use the one for their version.
    Cheers!

  • Problem starting Power Mac G4

    I'm running the latest version of Tiger. An apple support professional told me not to install Leopard, that I would have problems, so Tiger it still is.
    Every 2-3 months I have the same problem. When trying to start (or restart) I get the grey screen with the apple logo and it won't go further.
    I can start in safe mode,  but restarting after that doesn't go further than the Apple logo.
    I removed all peripherals. Same thing.
    I reset the PRAM. Same thing.
    I was able to boot from the install disc and run Disc Utility. Same thing.
    I used Tech Tool Pro 5 and Discwarrior, booting from the repair discs. Did all the tests in TTP5. Redid the directory thru both programs. Same thing.
    I try to archive and install and although it goes thru the whole routine, same thing.
    Several months ago I bought a brand new internal hard drive reinstalling everything fresh, and still, every 2-3 months the same thing.
    The only thing that works is erasing the whole drive and reinstalling the operating system and all the programs from scratch.
    This gets to be boring, doing it every 2-3 months!
    Before I reinstall, luckily I am able to get access to the hard drive and back up all the important files and folders which weren't backed up previously.
    I know the G4 is old by now (got it in 2001) but I can't afford a new computer right now.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Power mac g5 will not boot to dvd at all any ideas?

    Power mac g5 2.3 late 2005. Leopard 10.5 installed on drive and boots ok to hhd.
    how ever i need to go back to tiger 10.4.4 or later for my music hardware to work correctly..
    Sooo i purchased a Tiger 10.4 black retail disk and it will not boot to it in any way all I end up with is a kernal report screen.
    I have tried everything.. taking the drive out. adding a new formatted drive to install to.. no joy..just does not even look to be installing nothing..not even a spinning wheel thingy . if the disk was too early eg before late 2005 would it act like that and not install?
    I'm lost here lol.

    Hmmm, something else is going on I guess...

  • Power Mac G5 Dies in its Sleep

    I have a 2.3 GHz dual-processor Power Mac G5 purchased in December (**** Apple for introducing the Mac Pro so soon!).
    I use Software Update to keep the system and its software current. Since the Mac OS X 10.4.7 update, my system will, periodically, die in its sleep, i.e. striking return on the keyboard does not bring up the login panel. The red light that illuminates when the system is turned on or awakes from sleep is visible through the grill when return is struck but the system remains unresponsive.
    When this occurs, I have to depress the power button on the front of the chassis for a few seconds to power down the system. I then need to depress the power button a second time to reboot the system.
    No new entries have been added to the panic.log since the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4.6 in April.

    I encountered the same problem, first with another G5 where the fan would blow at high speeds and then crash. Afetr replacing the logic board and RAM, Apple replaced the unit. The new G5 purchased 2 weeks ago,when asleep was not able to be awakened from. I went through everything including reintiallizing the hard drive and bringing the computer back to Apple. They ran the computer and had no problems over 48 hours. When I spoke to one of the technical advisors at Apple, they found that there was a Kernel panic related to a USB device. I had disconnected all the USB devices prior to this time but realized that my Apple 23" monitor was connected to the USB and firwire ports. When I disconnected them, the problems stopped. My Powerbook laptop which is running the OS prior to the latest software upgrade does not have the problem.The problem has now been sent to the engineers at Apple and hopefully they will find a fix. I was uncertain if the problem was with the G5 or the latest software update but it sounds like you found the culprit.
    Good Luck

  • Power mac G5 dual, startup and fan problem

    Dear macpeople,
    I have a Power mac G5 dual, 1.8 ghz, ramm 4.5GB. I guess from 2004. Only added more Ram three years ago. Never had any serious problem till a week ago. I have read a lot of similar questions and responses on my problem in this forum but till so far i have not been able to solve it.
    Since a couple of weeks my mac sometimes did,nt recover from sleep. Starting up gave me some trouble because the fans were racing like **** and i had to restart several times to be able to boot normally. In the beginning just the upper fan next to de CD player ran fast and loud but now all of them get crazy at start up. Very rare times G5 is able to recover this (fans slowing down) and boot up, but this only in the safe mode.
    I have cleaned the mac
    i have resetted PRAM
    i have used utility disk, all ok
    i have unplugged for 40 min, reset in the machine, safe start up.
    Checked memory
    The only way to boot is in the safe mode. The fans start blowing fast but after 4 min. they slow down then the blue screen appears and mac builds up normally. But when i leave it for more than 1 hour in the sleep mode it will not recover, although i hear the normal sound of awaking/ accelerating disc. The screen keeps black and after a few minutes fans start blowing at full speed. Pushing 4 sec. the on/off button pulls it off.
    I hope that someone can help me to solve this problem (me not being a tecnician at all) or that someone can give me a kind of diagnostic so that i can check  the costs of profesional reparation. And start saving money for a new machine.
    Any one any clue? Help would be very apreciated
    Thnks

    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
    iStat Menus...
    http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
    And/or iStat Pro...
    http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/
    If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
