Dual 1.8 Powermac G5 can use 30inch display?

Hi I have a G5 Powermac 1.8 dual, am I able to use the 30 inch Apple display with this model of G5? on the apple website it says upgrade graphics card with a PCI-X slot, I don't have PCI-X only PCI, will it work?
Thanks,
nick

Let's not forget to reset the PRAM by holding Command, Option, P, and R. Here's the instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379. Here's another interesting article about Zapping the PRAM: http://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=250.
I often experience the same when I change devices on a SCSI chain or install a new pci or pci=x card. Hope this solves the problem.

Can I and how do connect power mac to imac so I can use imac display

Is there a way I can use my imac and power mac together.
My purpose is to use the display of the imac when using the power mac.
If it possible please be so kind to tell me how to.
Thank you!

Hi Howard Herrick;
I doubt it because to the best of my knowledge you are only going to find connectors on the iMac to connect and external monitor to it not to connect another computer to the iMac's screen.

What graphics card to buy for my PC so I can use target display on iMac?

Hey,
Currently I have a ATI Radeon 5850 in my PC which I use to play BC2. I have my iMac which I use primarily, and a second screen next to it when I want to play BC2. I wish to get rid of the smaller screen and just use the iMac screen.
I understand that I can not use the 5850 with the iMac in target display mode.
What graphics card choices do I have so I can use it with the iMac in target display mode?
Is it just graphics cards that have Mini Display ports as standard? I know the 5870 Eyefinity edition works with target display mode, but this is outside of the price range Im looking for. Is there a solution for around £250 as I can always sell the 5850. I dont mind going Nvidia, Does anybody know if the GeForce 460/470 works with the iMac?
Thanks, Simon.

Ive just saw that the new HD 6870 has mini display ports, and is in the perfect price range for me. Can anybody confirm that this card would work with target display mode?
Thanks.

I'm in need of a variable that I can use to display total time spent in a course.

I'm attempting to create a custom certificate of completion that a learner can print at the end of a course.
I'd like to have the total time spent in the course displayed on it but am not sure about the variable to use.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I was hoping for a quick solution to have the elapsed time appear only on a printable certificate of completion.
Unfortunately, this goes beyond my limited knowledge and experience in using variables. (Admittedly, I'm not a frequent Captivate user)
Thanks again!

Using Thunderbolt Display with Alienware Laptop

I want to also use my thunderbolt display with a m18x alienware laptop which has HDMI out and a mini display port. Is there any way I can use this display with this laptop either directly or with an adapter?
Thanks

I don't think so, as far as I am aware the connection between the system and the Thunderbolt display has to be a thunderbolt connection. There are reports that even pre-Thunderbolt Mac systems with a mini-display port don't work.

Use the display with the laptop closed

What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor?

What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor? Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks. Have I finally outgrown OS 10.4.11? Would there be some other problem that would sudden make all my speed take a nose dive? I have 8.5 gigs of RAM... Please advise!
Thanks! Matthew

Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks.
First open Console in Applications>Utilities, see if you have reapeating messages.
How much Free Space do you have on the Hard Drive?
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

I have a dual band router. How can I tell if my iPad is using 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.

I have a dual band router. How can I tell if my iPad is using 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz. I want to try and manage all the devices in the house over our WLAN. Thanks. Nik

I'm not really sure there is a way to tell, it certainly doesn't seem to be something you can set within the iPad so I'd assume that if a 5Ghz frequency is available it would use that, otherwise it would default to using a 2.4Ghz frequency instead. I'd also assume from having a 5Ghz router myself that there would be some sort of light on your router which will flash on/off when data is recieved so if iPad is your only 5Ghz device and it's sending/receiving data then this light should flash on your router.

Steve

What final cut version I can use it on PowerMac 5G?

What final cut version I can use it on PowerMac 5G, I am using:
Power Mac 5G 7,3
Processor: PowerPC G5 (2.2), Speed: 1.8 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 2 L2
Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 3 GB
Bus Speed: 900 MHz Boot ROM

In January 2006, Apple stopped selling Final Cut Pro as a stand-alone product. In March 2006 the Universal Binary 5.1 version was released as part of Final Cut Studio. Upgrades were achieved by sending the original installation discs back to Apple with a fee. One noticeable difference is that the Intel versions of Final Cut and Motion no longer recognize After Effects plug-ins. Instead, Apple released its own universal plug-in architecture FxPlug.

I think you'll want to max it out to 4 GB of RAM though.

Can someone help me synce my old G5 Motorola to my snow leopard laptop so I can use Quitktime with video screen capabilities for demo purposes and a job I have with a major website? Thanks!

Is there anyway that I can sync this Motorola G5 dual, OS 10.5.8 with my ibook OS 10.6.8 so I can use the quicktime application on the Mororola? I need to network the two computers and if someone could kindly tell me how to do this with either wifi, USB, orFirewire, I'd be very grateful. My ethernet connection is in use and I only have one and no hub. Doing this will give me the ability to work for a site that needs my expertise in recording but I have old equipment right now on the recording end. No chance to upgrade at this point as we're broke and I'm severly injured, so I am trying to find a workaround that will let me access this copmuter, with snow leapord to work with the old one with (Motorola G5 dual w/10.5.8). It means a few bucks to us if I can make it happen, and my family really need to dough. It will keep me from having to convert things to a youtube format, take the extra time involved to do that, when, instead, I could just take screen recordings instead. Unfortunately, I don't have Pro Tools on this computer or all would be fixable.
I'm really hoping that you or someone else can help me get these two macs synced so I can do this. DO you think you can help me? Thanks so much! Scotty Goldberg

Thanks so much for your reply but that won't help in my current situation. Maybe I didn't make it clear. The latest version of Quicktime as new as it sounds doesn't support screen recording on a powermac G5 Motorola chip with OS 10.5.8 which is the highest os I can go with that machine. If I can sync the two computers so I can get the application to record from my newer computer then I'm ok. I just don't have the recording application for audio that I'm using to demo for the website on the laptop as it's about 10,000 dollars. So, I have to use the older computer to do the audio presentation and try to get the newer computer synced to it so I can use the new version that works on snow leopard to record a screen shot that will hopefully appear on my laptop instead of the old machine. Hope that makes sense. It's a bit confusing but in a nutshell it's like this:
1. I am a Pro Tools Instructor which is the state of the art application and recording device for audio and movie scoring and I have a new job where I make small snippets of tips using Pro Tools which I'd like to record with quicktime on screen as they happen
2. the best version of Quicktime Pro available for the Power Mac, OS 10.5.8 will not do screen recording on it.
3. I can use the Quicktime application from my newer laptop but I need to sync it to the old machine
4. I'm hoping but I don't know, if I do this, that I can record Pro Tools in action from my new machine buy seeing it on this laptop screen and then recording it with the new quicktime.
5. If I can sync the two computers, I'm hoping this can happen but I can't use my ethernet connection as I have it used to connect to my recording console and can't afford to buy anything new like an ethernet hub yo connect the two so I'm hoping that there's another way to connect them.
I hope that makes sense and that possible you or someone else can help. Thanks so much! Scott

Mac Mini Dual Core vs PowerMac DP G4

I am considering purchasing a Mac Mini Dual Core to replace my PowerMac DP 1.25Ghz G4 . I'm worried whether I will be happy , and if it will be faster than my G4. The app's I run most are univeral binary or will be soon , so I'm thinking , yes. But I would feel more comfortable if I could get some solid input from some power Mac user's experienced or knowledgeable with the new Mac Mini
PowerMac DP 1.25 Ghz , 1.5GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5) Dual 80GB Seagate Barracuda drives

I can't imagine that an Intel Mac mini would ever be "faster" than a dual-processor G4 tower for most operations. The comparisons that Apple advertises, like "4X faster" are all against single-processor PowerPC Macs. Mac OS X does a good job at managing dual PowerPC processors.
Although the new Intel Mac mini now has a faster system bus, you're MUCH more limited by the use of portable-size hard drives (for example, your PowerMac probably has over a 100GB drive to start with and could have 500GB without much cost). If you want to max-out the RAM on the new Intel Mac mini to 2GB, it will cost you $300 more. So, a 1.66GHz Core Duo Mac mini with a 120GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM is $1,224.00 (US). If I were you, I would, without question, keep the PowerMac and invest in a newer Super Drive and/or hard drive(s) before giving it up.

Powermac G4 MDD Dual 867 vs Powermac G4 Single 1.0 FW800

Hello, I have been a mac user since 2004. I had an iMac G5 1.8 that crashed and I want a replacement for the next year until I can save for a Mac Pro. I saw a great deal for the above Powermac G4's: MDD Dual 867 for $200 and Single 1.0 FW800 for $150. My friend was going to give me his 23" Apple Cinema HD ADC. I will be doing email, internet, about 90% of the time, and sometimes use Photoshop and Lightroom the rest of the time. I will max out the RAM at 2.0Gb, upgrade the Video to 9700 or 9800, and install 10.5 Leopard. What do you guys think?

C24, welcome to Apple Discussions.
A great price for both. Several considerations. Here's a link to the specs on both. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/index-powermac-g4.html
1. Are you currently using OS 9 in classic mode. If so, you can use either Mac in Tiger. (same as your G5).
2. Do you want to be able to boot into OS 9. Only the MDD will do this.
3. The MDD Dual might be slightly faster if you use multiple applications at the same time and if you do extensive graphics/audio.
Unless you want to boot into OS 9, I would choose the 1GHz. Note: If you upgrade to Leopard, you won't be able to use classic mode.
 Cheers, Tom

I have a dual 2.7ghz powermac with the 6800GT, would installing the ultra's

I have a dual 2.7ghz powermac with the 6800GT, would installing the drivers for the apple 6800 ultra make my computer recognize the video card as an ultra? the ultra and the GT that are put into the dual 2.5 and 2.7 are both the same card as far as I can tell.( many cards are the same to their faster version just different drivers). if I could get a copy of hte ultra drivers cd would that make my 6800GT into a 6800ultra? inessence overclocking the videocard?
powermac dual 2.7 G5, imac G4 800mhz, emac 1ghz, dual 2ghz powermac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

since installing the drivers will not change the card is there a way to do it?...... here is a quote from another source about the 6800 cards...As you probably know by now, the GeForce 6800 is based on NVIDIA’s NV40 graphics core. In AGP form, this is the exact same chip NVIDIA uses for GeForce 6800 Ultra and GeForce 6800 GT, only it has four of its pixel pipelines disabled, and one vertex unit turned off. (More specifically, NV40 sports sixteen pixel pipelines, these pipelines are organized into groups of four and are known as “quads”. The GeForce 6800 GT and Ultra have all four quads running with four pixel pipelines per quad for a total of 16 pixel pipelines. In GeForce 6800, NVIDIA turns off one of the four quads, leaving only three quads running for a total of 12 pipelines).
from this it must be possible to make this into the ulrta

What's the maximum RAM logic can use?

As we all know, the Mac Pros can sport up to 16 gig of RAM. The question is.... how much ram can Logic use?
I use piles of samples so i'd love to stick 8 gig in the mac pro (that i haven't bought yet)
Is it pointless to spend all that cash?
If it can only use 4 gig currently, (as i hear most apps do)
has anyone heard of plans to upgrade logic to use more?

I'm pretty sure that the MAC I have right (Dual 1.8 G5) now will use up to 8 gigs.. I have 5.5 in there right now. I'll try tonight and see if I can max the usage up to 5.

Dual 1.8 Powermac G5 can use 30inch display?
