Apple Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0) (M9590LL/A) WIRELESS OPTIONS

HEY GUYS
Is there a PCIe wirelesscard that will work with this lovely machine?

Hi-
PCIe wireless adapters are pretty well limited to Intel Macs.
For PPC Macs (PCIe) they seem to be non-existent.
USB adapters are more common.
There are a couple of 802.11n options here:

Here is the kit:

You can use a faster memory, but it will not run faster, will likely report wrong and may give other issues.

Need help finding a good monitor for a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0)

Hi
I've owned Macs since the 90's - the past 7 years have been using Imacs... I'm going to purchase a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0) with the Nvidia 6600LE card. Whats a decent monitor for it? It's DVI output only as far as I can tell - I want at least a 22 or 24 inch monitor and want a fairly inexpensive one as I'm a poor man (Social Security disability). Can anyone suggest one - I can't tell what screen resolutions are optimal for the card (googled till my eyes hurt) if I knew that I could start hunting CompUSA, Sams Club, etc.

Check out newegg.com. I just got the same G5 you have this past summer and a couple months ago finally decided it was time to ditch the old 21" CRT Viewsonic Ive been using for years.
I picked up a 21" Acer widescreen HD LCD on sale for $119.00 from newegg and could not have been happier..
Ive never bought anything from Acer before but its so far got no complaints from me other then, the DVI cable they give you is the wrong type to use with your G5's video card. Lucky for me it had a DVI-VGA adapter so I could get running. Its running just fine at 1900x1200 without any dual link DVI connecter.
One thing I like about newegg is you get to read user reviews and they are not afraid to tell you if something is bad. Theyve always got different models and brands rotating on and off sale so check em out and make sure you check the reviews and you can find a killer deal.
I think the Viewsonics I looked at in the same size were around $199 or so.. I wouldve got one but Im a broke and jobless kinda guy nowadays so had to get one as cheap as I could..

An advice for an used Power Mac G5 dual core 2.3

Hello.
I used a Power Mac G5 PCI-X (sett. 2003) 2.0 GHz, working with Photoshop. It worked great for yeras, but now, due to its typical logic board lack, it got broken and is unable to boot anymore (three times flashing power light).
Now, I use software for PowerPC CPUs, so I can't get new computers, because I should replace all the software too!
I'm going to buy an used Power Mac G5 dual core 2.3 GHz:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg5/stats/powermac_g5_dual2.3.html
This is the configuration:
Ram: 5.5 GB
HD: 250 GB
SVGA: GeForce 6600 - 256 MB.
About 650 dollars.
According to you, is this a good product? do you know any issue or manufacturing fault?
Would you buy it if you were me?
Thank you!

I tried heating it (not with the hair dryer), after about 1 hour it booted and worked very well, as in past. But when I powered it off, it started again with the same problem: unable to boot and three times flashing light.
I need a working system.
Furthermore, I removed the hard disk (sata 160 GB), and installed it in a Mac Pro: but it recognized only the second partition (data). So I run the Disk Utility and gave immediately an error (wrote in red and big), writing that the hard disk had a serious physical problem, and that if the computer was able to see the disk, I had to make immediately a backup.
But the three-times flashing light error of the G5 was not given due to the hard disk, because I tried several times to boot it from the OSX DVD, also removing the hard disk, and it always gave the same problem.

Power Mac G5 Dual Core freezing

Hi,
Everything works fine with my G5 with 4GB RAM, except one thing:
Sometimes when I work for a long time, my mouse justs freeze,
The red light near the RAM slots appears and the fans start being noisy ! (LED 7—Checkstop: red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider)
I reboot and all just works fine until the next freeze
I ran Hardware test and apple diagnotics many times but all the tests including the ram test passed successfully.
It happens like 1 or 2 time by day. I couldn't identify the cause or the frequency of the problem (maybe Eyetv usb box, or a spécific app that causes the computer freezing ??? !)
Thanks for the help !
Power Mac G5 Dual Core 2,3 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Curiously - we have two new Dual 2.3 G5s and they exhibit this same behavior. Suddenly freezing - and not necessarily while we have a lot of apps running. iTunes is always going in the background though. I'll start monitoring the temps on these machines and we'll see what happens. Does anyone know of a menubar app that might display CPU temp on the fly? Could be useful if we see a spike in temperature and then a crash.
One notable thing though, when it does crash, it crashes hard. Everything freezes, the audio (since iTunes is usually running) begins to skip on the last section of the track it was playing, sort of like a skipping record - only much faster. It also appears to have happened to one of the machines last night while it was asleep. I came in the morning the the fans were going crazy - and yes, the little red LED was on. What does that mean?

I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an antennae?

Apple Power Macintosh G4/400 Reboot problem

I recently got a Apple Power Macintosh G4/400 running OS X 10.3.9 - just updated via Software update.
My problem is that the machine will not do a reboot after booting up and running for a while (doing some activity, such as software update, etc).
Upon reboot, the screen will flicker, it appears to go through some amount of POST, but ultimately nothing. I cannot power it down with the power button -- instead I pull the plug.
I can then boot the machine up after a short while (ie, leaving the machine off) -- no problem. But if I try to reboot again -- no luck.
Any assistance or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

The funny thing is, the G4 boots up without issue -- when it has been left powered-down for a few minutes.
I tried an experiment -- I pulled the battery and booted the machine. No problem booting! I then inserted my Tiger disc and attempted the reboot to install the new OS.
Still would not reboot -- I get the "bong" but the screen just continuously flashes and nothing happens.
I got to thinking maybe it is the battery and it boots fine after leaving it for a while because maybe it gains some power back or something.
So I powered down again -- still the battery is out and has been out for a good while. I then insert the power plug, hit the button and it boots up no problem. I then open the case, and attempt the Tiger upgrade again -- click reboot button.
This time when it powers off I quickly push the battery back in hoping it would reboot with a "fresh" battery. But -- no reboot. Same issue/symptoms.
Thanks for answering.

Power Mac G5 Dual Core Screen Goes Black Randomly But Seems To Still Be Running. I have to Force Quit

I totally just typed way to much info in the title.
In any event, my G5 Dual Core's(late 2005) screen will randomly go black with out notice. Its happend while designing in illistrator and also while browsing google(primarly the use of my comp is graphic design). The fans stay on and it sounds to still be fully running however the screen will not wake up and if i tap the power button it doesnt wake up either. I reset the "PRAM" while booting up, i toggled my screen saver/power saver also so its "never".
I thought the HD was faulty cause it sounds like a light saber at times... I figured the OS was crashing(im ingorant) so I bought a new one and more ram as well. I've installed the HD and am waiting for 10.3 OS to get here in hopes that the new HD and OS will not crash(again that was my educated guess as to what the issue was).
Is it a video card issue? faulty cable you think(VGA to DVI 17" Samsung)?
Thanks so much in advance for any and all feed back along with the patience of a newbie to the forum/community world.

Hello,

Hey guys, I need some help. I have an old Power Macintosh G4 1.25 DP (FW 800) and I want to know what I can do, if anything, to upgrade it to it's max capability? It already has a new ram stick (512mb stick), but I want to see if I can bump up it more. It would help to know what modern computer parts still work with it.

Will this mac run garageband and if so what version? the mac i am considering is a Apple Power PC G5, Dual 2GHz Processors, 160GB hard drive, 2GB RAM, OS X 10.5.1 installed .

Hi, I am a newbie to mac's , but i am considering buying the following mac to hopefully run a version of garageband(though i am unsure as to the versions available and what will run on this mac?).
The mac is a power pc g5 with a 160gb hd 2gb ram osx 10.5.1 is installed(i am now aware that i can update this to 10.5.8 via apple) what verisons of garageband work best on this set up ? the mac would come with a disc ilife08 though i am not sure if this has any music software on it?
any help would be nice.
Many thanks J

Thanks for the reply, i am interested in this mac to try out this platform....i understand what you are saying.....but i do not wish to spend too much money on something i may not get on with(even though people say macs are the best).
I thought that the price i can buy this mac(£100 all in) was a good entry level to look at this platform and if i like it i can always invest further money down the line in an intel based mac.
Can anyone advise if this spec can run the garage band on the ilife disc?
Is it possible on the version on ilife 08 to use appleloops?
ANy help would be nice
Many Thanks Jay

I have been given a apple power pc g5 dual 2, can i update it and still use it, also when it asks to update it asks for a password which i dont know , please help ...

i have been given an apple mac powere pc g5 , can i update it and use it normally also when it asks to update it asks for a password which i dont have , can this be reset ?

Updating or upgrading depends on what version of OS X you are running. A G5 Mac can not go further than Leopard 10.5.8 as all later versions of OS X require an Intel preocessor.

Using FCP 4.5HD and a PowerMac dual/dual core model ...

I'm currently using a PowerMac dual 2.0 Mac and am running FCP 4.5HD without any problems ... PERIOD! However, I'm now considering a move to the next level of Power Macintosh (the dual/dual core model that's currently available on the Apple Web Store) and just wanted to ask has anyone had any problems with the newer systems running the older version of FCP 4.5HD? Not to sure I want to fork over those big bucks to upgrade to FCP 5 unless it's necessary.
Thanks for any input on this matter.
G5 PowerMac Dual 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for your input ... looks like I'll be moving up to FCP5.0 a bit quicker than planned. Hacks of anything always come back to bit me ... AT THE MOST STRESSFUL TIMES! ... and since I'm into wedding video development on a full time basis ... I don't need anymore STRESS.
Thanks again for your help.

Dual monitor for Power mac g5 dual 2.3ghz

I wanted some advice on which monitors to get for a dual monitor setup and if its even possible to setup on my G5 or do I need a different video card?
Here's my computer spechs:
Power mac G5 dual core 2.3 ghz (late 2005)
Model: A1177
Memory: 2GB DDR2 SDRAM
HDD: 250GB
OS X 10.5.8 Leopard
The only thing I run on this is logic studio 8. I wanted to expand my setup but not sure how.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks
< Edited by Host >

It depends on which video card you have installed, though not much. Whichever card you have installed, you should have two DVI outputs available. With the minimum 256 Meg VRAM, you should be able to support two 1920x1080 monitors without a problem, and the "HD" monitors are getting very plentiful and dropping in price. Were I to buy today, I would make sure to get an LED monitor, as that flavor should have a longer overall life than a florescent panel monitor. You can find monitors in 23" dimensions for under $200 a pop, and more 27" monitors are showing up at a slightly bigger bite.

Do dual-core proccessors count for minimum spec on Flash Player 11?

According to the minimum specs for Adobe Flash Player 11 on a Windows computer it needs a 2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor. The majoriity of our computers run dual core, or indeed quad core processors, but each core is less than 2.33Ghz.
My question is this, does the minimum spec of 2.33GHz apertain to each core or is it the total of all the cores i.e. a dual core 2.25Ghz = 4.5GHz processing power, therefore a dual core 2.25GHz would meet the minimum spec?
Another question regarding minimum specs, does the 128MB graphics memory have to be dedicated RAM i.e. VRAM, or can it be shared RAM?

Works on a 2.27GHz i5, try 11.1 on a computer and see how it works. If it does not, try the 11.2 beta which can multithread cores.

No, yes.
