Apple iMac PPC what Firfox Ver

I have an apple iMac PPC running OSX 10.5.8 Firefox version 3.
Is there a newer version of Firefox that will run on my machine?

The last Firefox version that runs on a PowerPC Mac is Firefox 3.6.28
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 3.6.28: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
For an unofficial Firefox 10.0.6 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Hi Ron.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

What is the latest version of OS X that I can run on iMac PPC G4?

I'm having trouble using my old iMac PPC G4 flat panel due to the web browsers being so old that many web sites are not compatible. I can't upgrade FireFox or Safari to newer versions with my current OS X v10.3.9, which is probably the highest I can run on this iMac. Any advice?

Leopard, if your old G4 meets the requirements:

Get the Apple USB Superdrive. It is available on the Apple store page of the Apple web site. Just look under storage on the left hand column under accessories for the Mac. $79. I have one since I have a lot of DVD's and CD' s. I burn DVD's made from movies created with iMovie. Works fine. You may be able to find one cheaper at Other World Computing.
BTW, you can expect that future computers will not have optical disk drives. This is definitely true for Apple and I suspect other mfgrs will also as we move more into streaming video and downloading of apps rather than selling CD/DVD versions.

Upgrade iMac ppc os 10.4.11 to 10.5

Hi There
I'd like know if I could upgrade the operating system on my iMac ppc from 10.4.11 to 10.5. I read a few of the forum posts and it seem that it's possible with a few tweaks. One suggestion I found is a post from tbdmoss posted on the 2nd of November, which is as follows:
It's pretty easy to get Leopard installed on any G4 machine with AGP graphics, which includes your eMac. You can make a small modification to the Leopard DVD to remove the (artificial) check for 867+ MHz if you want a DVD that will always install with no hassle, but if you just want to do one installation it's probably easier to:
(1) Hold the Command, Option, O and F keys together when starting the machine and only
release them once the Open Firmware command line has appeared.
(2) Insert the Leopard DVD into the Mac’s DVD drive.
(3) Run the following script exactly as below (including capitals), press Enter after each line
and check that Open Firmware displays “ok”
dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0
d# 867000000 encode-int " clock-frequency" property
boot cd:,
:tbxi
Will this work for the iMac I own?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Dave

Hey Ralph,
I thought I'd let you know how I'm going with upgrading my iMac. It certainly has been a learning curve and I've made some very fundamental goofs. It's a wonder the iMac hasn't exploded with the way I've been going about trying to upgrade it. However I think I've finally done it in, and I just tried to upgrade the operating system.
If I step you through what I have done when upgrading the operating system, perhaps you could offer me some suggestions to alleviate the predicament I seem to be in at the moment. This post is going to be difficult for me, because I'm not a tech-head, and the situation I'm about to describe has a chronology of haphazard procedures I performed in order to try and upgrade the operating system.
Pause for a cigarette...
Now, where to start.
I downloaded a 10.5 Leopard OS torrent from the internet to burn onto a DVD+R DL CD. I followed all of the procedures described in the forum to burn it onto the CD. However, when I tried to burn the software onto the DVD+R DL CD, the iMac did not recognise the CD and subsequently there I met the first of my consternation's. Having pondered the dilemma I thought of an alternative. I happen to own a MacBook, and while reading the forum for instructions on burning the CD, I happened upon a post which described using an external hard drive to perform the operating system upgrade.
All very well... except,
I happened to overlook a strategic step in the upgrade procedure. I remember from the forum something about 'partitioning the hard drive' on the destination volume, or something like that. <:-\
Anyway, I connected a firewire between the iMac and the MacBook and setup a network between the two devices. I then opened the image of the Leopard operating system on the MacBook and proceeded to opened the disc utility. I clicked on the restore menu radio button in the disk utility and dragged and dropped the image of the Leopard OS, as per instructions, into the source field. I then dragged and dropped the image of the iMac HD into the destination field and pressed restore. It all went along smashingly.
After the download to the iMac was complete, I followed subsequent steps. I was advised to restart the MacBook, where I was assured the Leopard OS would begin the upgrade procedure. It did, although the other way. Somehow I ended up with the Leopard OS on my MacBook when I was intending to upgrade the iMac. Serendipity, I only had 10.4.11 on the MacBook, and now I have Leopard! Great huh?
My delight was short lived.
Remember the partitioning of the destination hard drive I overlooked earlier? It seems I've given my iMac an identity crisis. I have caused what is affectionately known as 'the spinning wheel of death'. Apparently the iMac can no longer distinguish between the Leopard OS and Tiger. The i Mac proceeds no further than the grey screen with the Apple icon and the spinning wheel. I can still access the iMac and all of the data on it through a firewire network, but I'm uncertain of how to restore either of the operating systems.
Meanwhile, the Leopard OS on the MacBook has very nice features.
Is my iMac ruined?
Please help!

IMAC 24¨ WHAT KIND OF MEMORY I NEED TO UPGRADE MY COMPUTER?

I have an IMAC 24¨ What kind of memory i need to upgrade it? It has actually 667CL5

You posted in the PPC iMac forum, but there was not a 24" PPC iMac. There are several 24" Intel models.
To tell what memory you need it is best to check the exact model identifier, click the apple left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware and what does it show as the Model Identifier? With that you can go to either http://www.everymac.com and find the appropriate iMac and see what the correct memory is. Or, you can go to OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com and see what they offer for that model iMac. They are the trusted sources of Mac memory.

RE: Apple iMac 27 Hard Disk Replacement Complaint

Dear Customer ServiceManager,
RE: Apple iMac 27” Hard Disk Replacement Complaint
On May 12, 2011, Ibought an iMac 27” for my daughter from your official Hong Kong website (www.apple.com/hk).
I am writing tocomplain about my dissatisfaction of your poorproduct quality, irresponsibleattitude of your customer service, and most importantly my painful experience with your Apple Careservice. I am also very disappointed with how your Apple Care staff made a discriminating comment about your low income Hong Kong customers.
On July 28, 2011, mydaughter received an email from your company ([email protected]) informing her that the hard disk of her newly purchased iMac wasdefective due to factory error. You promised to replace the defective hard disk with a brand new onefree of charge, but when she asked your HK Apple technical support if therewould be on-site replacement service, your staff told her that she can onlyeither carry the 30-pound iMac herself to their service center or pay HKD1200for the Apple Care which offers the on-site replacement service.
First of all, I foundyour request very unreasonable. Mydaughter was not the one who broke the hard disk, your company informed herthat you gave her a defective one. So why is the responsibility and the cost of taking the iMac for repairshould be borne by her, as an innocent customer, who paid HKD18, 000 for aniMac directly ordered from your official website? She did nothing wrong but your company required her to barethe cost of transporting a 30-pound iMac and the risk of causing damage on theway.
Secondly, I believeyour company has deceitfully forced my daughter to buy your Apple Care, whichis completely against her original will. Since she is just a 22-year-old girl, it is impossible for her to carrythe 30-pound iMac by herself. Andclearly, she was not given a choice but had to pay HKD1200 for the AppleCare. This made me doubt if thisis a scam of your company. Is thisa way of how Apple make extra money by giving your customer faulty products anda mission impossible, then forcing us to pay for a service that we did notneed?
Anyway, thepainfulness of enjoying your Apple Care service has just started…
On Aug 10, 20111:30pm, your service man came to change her hard disk with just a look as ifthe process was very ‘efficient’ and left after half an hour, even her Mac OShas not yet been completely installed. After he left, my daughter found that the OS could not be installed, soshe called your service center immediately and under her strong request, he hadto come back on the same day and check the new hard disk. He found it proved to be a defectiveone again. I was shockinglysurprised that your company, which always claims to produce products of highquality, selling at an expensive price, replaced my claim-to-be defective harddisk with a defective one again. Iwonder how Apple’s quality control is done? Your company didn’t even bother to check if the new harddisk is working before replacing it for customers.
My daughter requestedfor a new one, but then your service center said they had no new stock andasked her to wait until further notice. But without any definite date, it means my daughter’s brand new computercannot be used for… I don’t know how long. Please notice that I paid HKD18,000 to buy a first-classproduct of high quality, as claimed by your company all over the world.
So my daughter had tocall your service center again and forced them to return her original harddisk. Till 5:00 pm on the sameday, another technician came to reinstall her original hard disk into hercomputer. Surprisingly, all thedata in her original hard disk was still there, which means there is a riskthat all her personal data and information had been accessed by your servicecenter staff.
As a father, I had totake over the matter from my daughter and called your hotline 2112 0099 at5:00pm on Aug 10, 2011. After 30minutes, I could finally talk to one of your technical support staff for 10minutes about my complaint. Heasked me to hold the line and wait for him to transfer my call to his seniortechnical support colleague, so I kept on waiting for 15 minutes, but finallythe line was being cut and no body contacted me and my daughter again.
I had to call yourhotline again at 6:00 pm and waited for another 15 minutes to reach one of youradvisors. He passed my line toyour senior technical support advisor located in Singapore. He said he is just a technical supportadvisor, so he could not take my complaint directly. He needed to talk to meagain on the next day with a customer service advisor. He promised if he could not reach me onmy mobile phone, he would leave his direct line for me so that I would not haveto waste another half an hour to reach him through the hotline.
On Aug 11, 2011 5:28pm, I received a voice mail from your senior technical support advisor asking me to call him back but he didn’t leave any direct telephonenumber as he promised. So I triedto call back the caller ID, which was shown on my phone. However, the auto reply of this numberwas, “This is an invalid number”. I asked the Hong Kong Telephone Company to help me to call but even theycould not reach this number. Theytold me this number was from Shanghai, China. So I had no choice but to call your hotline again. After 25 minutes, one of your advisorstook my call and I had to repeat my story to him again in order to have him putme through to talk to your senior staff 42058 again. I asked him why he didn’t leave his direct number for me tocall him back as he promised. Hesaid he forgot! What a surprisinganswer to leave your customer nothing but a number that he knew clearlycouldn’t be reached.
By that time, I havewasted nearly 45 minutes to reach him, and it was already 6:20pm and thecustomer service advisor was off work. Therefore, I made an appointment with him again and we agreed that hewould call me between 9:31-10:00am on Aug 12, 2011 morning. I took half day-off from my work towait for your senior staff to call me.
Unfortunately, Iwaited until 10:10 am and nobody contacted me again (I left both my mobilenumber and email to them).
Finally, I called the hotline again and waited for 15 minutes, an advisor put me to your on-dutyCustomer Service Manager, Ken. After I told him my name, he realized that he should be theone responsible for calling me this morning, but since he had a meeting thatmorning, he forgot to call me again! The Apple staff didn’t keep their promises after all which disappointedme a lot. It seems to me thatApple is unwilling to accept negative feedbacks from customers.
Ken told me thatthere was nothing he could do.
At the end, I wasreferred to a Customer Relations staff, Ms. Wing Liu. Her response was also there is nothing she can do exceptgiving me a case number of my complaint. Since then, I never get any response from Apple regarding my case.
I believe Apple has afull record of all my conversations with your staff and thus, should be able tolook into my case thoroughly. Isincerely hope that Apple can take my feedback seriously and respond to my complaintin a responsible manner, but not just trying to suppress your customers, whohave already been treated unfairly, from claiming their rights. Otherwise, it is really a shamefor Apple to claim itself delivering high quality products and services allover the world.
Yours truly,
Tommy Fong
Apple Customer

I just realize Apple might have blocked my daughter's Apple ID from posting in your discussion forum.
My daughter was trying to go to this Community Page by logging into her account. But your Communities webpage displays a "We'll be back soon" webpage. Then I try to login with my Apple account and it works fine.

Apple IMac 27 has a problem. Random black screen. Over 1 year without any fix

Apple IMac 27 has a problem.
Random black screen.
Over 1 year without any successful fix.
IMac 27 10.8.4 (12E55) - bought in 2010
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1067 Mhz RAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
The IMac computer screen goes black randomly but the machine still running beyond.
In order to go back to normal i need to awake the computer by hitting with the pointer a hot corner previously created " sleep mode" ( top left ).
..the black screen would come back after one second again..and then again and then again and then again..with different intervals..sometime 2 seconds after the other, sometime as soon as appears the user login screen.
I took the machine to an Apple Store two times over one year, they opened, cleaned it but they didn't replace anything has they could not understand what they real problem was. I was happy for that because they didn't try to make me spend money on something which was not going to solve my issue for sure.
Last time i kindly asked them to inspect everything meticulously, part by part, i left the machine with them for over 2 months. They couldn't understand why this was happening..after couple of weeks, 5 more machines came in with the same problem.
On some of them., upon request of the client they changed the graphic card but apparently this was not the fix, the problem come back again. Apparently changing the graphic card or the screen or else it didn't solve any problem to anyone. I'm almost thinking to "trough it out of the window"..we all spend money for this machines and i think we need to know if Apple is looking in to this or not.
Lately i tried to do an SMS RESET and PRAM RESET, it feels it got better a little but problem still coming back.
Also, all usb devices are disconnected and the problem still there
Below you will see a copy of the console report. I honestly don't understand much of it as i'm not a computer guy.

I'm now thinking to try to take the machine to its original firmware and see if it still does it, does anyone have any sugestion?
I use a lot photoshop and other image software, this computer is essential for my work. For more then one year this issue caused me problems.
Luckly i have a Macbook Pro too and i managed to do some of my work there. At last I was thinking to buy an external screen and attach it to the Macbook pro in order to work on my big images. But who wants to spend money again!!!???? This is not a fixture, this is silly. I wish to have my IMAc working again.
The warranty it's obviously over and this problem happened right after the warranty was over...
I write this post because i'm so tired of this issue and online nothing can be found apart from posts from so many people that have the same problem and no fixture has been found.
The only fixture seams to be to buy a new computer... Ole'!!!..new money flowing in in the cashier!! forget it!!! i would rather change company if apple doesn't respond to this.
For over 10 years i have been a Apple owner..
When this problem appears it's like someone it's playing a joke at you...
Comments welcome..
Thanks

Hi, I've seem to have found out the source of the problem.
The issue is related to heat, and an iMac 27" gets hot pretty fast.
If I boot the iMac straight after first start into Windows 7 I seem to get a lit built-in display at all times. I can also boot OS X first and then into Windows 7 and the built-in screen get lit every time as long as the iMac isn't hot.
Strange thing is that the monitor connected to the display port gets lit every time. So I can only assume that the heat only interfere with output to the built-in LED screen.
So this iMac is going to an Apple premium reseller for service, and I'll tell you guys how it went.

FAULTY Apple iMAC 27" 3.06Ghz

Hi, im interested in buying this iMac on eBay - here is the sellers description of the faults, from the sound of it the seller is not the nicest of people so i apologise on his behalf for any foul language he has written,
So im wondering if i was to buy this, is it easy to fix? what would i need? what would i need to do? i was wondering maybe just changing the hard drive and re installing everything?
FAULTY Apple iMAC 27” 3.06Ghz
I bought this very, very expensive, stupid computer “BRAND NEW” from Apple UK in April 2010. It was fine for months but then, very occasionally, I got the messages:
“Safari has quit unexpectedly” or “Safari plugin has quit unexpectedly”
Then I started getting:
“Word has quit unexpectedly”…..ggrrrrrr usually when I hadn’t saved my work for a while.
Other programs started doing it, usually at the most annoying moment causing me to lose my work.
A couple of months ago, just after the warranty ran out it got worse and worse so my son wiped the drive and
re-installed from Time Machine… whatever that is.
No improvement. Then every few days the screen started going grey and telling me to re-start. I took it to someone who knows how to fix computers. After two weeks he returned it and told me it was a cable fault. It was OK for a week, now the AIRPORT does not work and says “Airport Card Not Installed”
!!!!! YES IT IS INSTALLED !!!!
and programs are crashing again.

Hi,
I would stay away! It has been listed as faulty so you will get no chance of a refund, also are you able to work on these yourself? Changing a hard drive on these is not a novice task. I would also assume the seller has no apple care and thus you will not be able to get any.
If he took it somewhere that knows what they are doing then they must have checked the drive? thats the first thing you would do before even opening the iMac, and he doesn't say which cable was faulty?
Worst case its the logic board and thats £££££££££ its not worth it!
If it was me and it was cheap then yes i may take a gamble but then i don't have to give it to someone to repair, i can do that myself. Don't buy it to then pay money on a repair, thats my best advise.

APPLE IMAC 27 IN NOT COVERED BY RECALL

MY APPLE IMAC 27 INCH HAS A FAILED HARD DRIVE BUT ITS NOT SEAGATE. A HARD DRIVE SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 1 YR AND I FIND IT STRANGE THAT MY HARD DRIVE DOESN'T QUALIFY BECAUSE CLEARLY IT IS DEFECTIVE.
WHAT ARE THE SPECIFICATIONS OF A REPLACEMENT. HARD DRIVE

Call Apple tech support and/or Customer Relations & ask them.

I'm not really having any problems at all, but I Do use TechTool Pro to do tests sometimes & Today I Upgraded to TechTool Pro 8 & before I Was on 7 & everything was always working great but This Sensor test is New to TechTool Pro 8 & I Ran the Test & 6 SENSORS Failed so i wanted to know why??? & if it's a Serious Problem i'm having??? I'm just doing Tests like I Always do in TechTool Pro & also I Alway's had TechTool Pro in My Apple iMac Computer since I Bought it in 2009 in July, it came in The Apple Protection Plan I Had when I Bought My Apple iMac Computer & it Allowed Me to alway's Upgrade after that
I Always do Test on TechTool Pro like once a week & i never had problems with nothing
but The Sensor test is new so that's why I Was asking??? maybe everything is fine? i'm not sure??? just checking up on The Apple Forum??? or maybe cause it's new it just say's it has problems??? maybe they need to come up with an Update to fix that problem like they did with EtreCheck ??? i'm not sure??? so i had to check up with you all???
on a Good Part i don't really get any problem's with My Apple iMac computer & EtreCheck work's Fantastic now Nothing Red anymore
