  • Can I use my Power Mac G5 Tiger installer on my old G4?

    I have a Power Mac G5 that I bought in 2006 and an old Power Mac G4 from 2000 that I gave to my roommate. My G5 came with Tiger and iLife 06. I have since upgraded to Leopard and iLife 08, needless to say, I no longer use any of the software that came with my G5. The old G4 is currently running Panther and I wanted to upgrade it to Tiger using that G5 install disc but it wouldn't let me. Is there a way that I can do it?

    I can't figure out how to get this to work. Is it possible?

    No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
    Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode.

  • How can I get on the internet with my newly purchased used G5 Power Mac if my ethernet port failed?

    We just bought our son a used G5 Power Mac, but when we got it home and tried to hook it up to the internet, no luck. We changed ethernet calbes, tried plugging directly into wall cable (by-passing router), even tried to do manual config, but no luck. I took it to the Genius Bar today and they said the ethernet plug was broken, and they did not have anything for a "vintage" machine like this.
    The Genius Bar tech told me to buy a USB Network Adaptor, however no one (Best Buy, Radio Shack, even searched the internet) seems to have them for Mac. What can I do to get this puppy connected to the internet and how much would it cost? Did we get screwed?

It 's configured with 4 GB of DDR SDRAM, a 160 GB (7200 RPM) Serial ATA hard drive, a 16X dual-layer "SuperDrive"
    Connectivity includes USB 2.0, FireWire "400" and "800", Two DVI port, optical digital audio in/out, two independent Gigabit Ethernet ports. All of the "multiple core" equipped Power Macintosh G5 models have three open PCI-Express (PCIe) expansion slots.

Likewise, it is divided into four different thermal zones with nine computer-controlled fans for optimum cooling.

  • Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. any suggestions?

    Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner.  Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down.  Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.

    This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
    I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake.

    Some reviews about the place scared me, but after reading reviews, I think the negativeness was unwarranted.

    No transformer necessary, you only need a plug adapter. Look at the power specifications on your computer and you will see it's good from 100V to 240V.

  • Can't use Aperture in Mac OS 10.9

    I have installed Mac OS 10.9(not upgrade) in my Mac Book Air(2011) and then install Aperture 3.0.2 (Box Set)
    But it can't use and the Mac OS said "You can't use this Aperture(3.0.2) in this Mac OS"
    and I can't update it at AppStore! ***
    I have joined Apple Care and they suggest to buy it again at App Store! ***!
    I spend $200 to buy this software and get nothing now! I bought it and 2 weeks later the appstore luanch!
    And I got nothing now!
    <Edited by Host>

    d I can't update it at AppStore!
    The App Store should be able to update your boxed Aperture 3 version. But first you will have to upgrade it to version compatible with your system. Aperture 3.0.2 is a version released for MacOS X 10.5.
    First of all, check, it Aperture has been installed in applications and not a subfolder of Applications. It should be installed directly in "Applications" and named simply Aperture.
    Then go to the Support  > Software Update page and download an updater. Try to update at least to Aperture 3.2.4, the last version compatible with snow leopard.
    The updaters for Aperture are here:  http://support.apple.com/downloads/#aperture%203
    Once you have a version that can be launched on your system, enter your registration number and use "Software update" from the apple menu to upgrade to the latest version or download Aperture 3.4.5 from the support page. Aperture 3.4.5
    What are your language and region settings? some posters here reported, that the Aperture updater from the AppStore will only work, if the primary system language is set to english. (System Preferences > language& Region).  Reboot, before trying to update from the App Store, after changing the language.

    Can I use a power cord from a Macbook air with a Macbook?

    No, the MacBook Air power adapter is a 45 watt. A MacBook needs at least a 60 watt power adapter although you can use a MacBook Pro 85 watt adapter. You can use a higher wattage adapter without any problems.
