EyeTV for bondi iMac?

Hi All,
I'm looking to use EyeTV with my Bondi iMac (rev B). Is there a certain model I should use? Obviously firewire is out of the question but is there a way round the USB 2.0 version so that it will work with my standard USB port? Or is there a USB 1.0 version available?
Thanks,
Matt

I have used the eyeTV USB device and the eyeTV 410 (digital TV firewire model in the UK) with a PowerMac G5 and have been impressed with both models. The 410 has been excellent and very reliable.
The eyeTV software (which is the same for all models) is very good, the editing software being particularly good and I would also recommend getting Toast which then makes making DVDs very easy.

Possible reason for the iMac G5 with 10.4.3 Sleep Problems

Ok first off let me say that I got this new iMac G5 20" about 4 days ago. It's wonderful. If anyone out there is holding out for the intel machines, don't wait, get a G5. It's a fantastic machine. Now on to the meat of the subject. The story goes like this; I hooked up my Plextor PVR with eyeTV to my iMac to see how well it would do (been using it with a P4 Windoze XP machine and my iBook G4 14" with no problems). It worked just great. No problems with the iMac, the PVR or any of my other addons (including the boatload of software I migrated over from the iBook). So I set up EyeTV to record some stuff while I was asleep. It's supposed to wake up the Mac, record the shows then the Mac goes back to sleep. Easy huh? Well the wakeup, record part went just fine but the Mac wouldn't go back to sleep. Perplexed (actually thrilled, this is where I have my most fun with new machines, figuring out why they aren't working correctly) I did all the standard "I can't get my Mac to sleep automatically" things. You know, blow away all the plist files that have anything to do with powermanagement and autowake, reset NVRAM from OF, reset the PRAM (3 times just like the old days), reset the SMU, blow away all the Bluetooth plist files, etc, etc. Did them all, don't suggest any, I did them all I swear, really. I've been through this kind of thing before. One big difference with this iMac. Nothing and I mean nothing would work to fix the problem. The only way the bad boy would sleep is by hitting the Power button for a second or selecting "Sleep" from the Apple menu. Hmmmm. Spent the better part of a morning reading every thread here about peoples problems like mine. One post and I mean exactly one had something I hadn't tried. I rebooted the Mac in Safe Mode (hold the shift key down while it boots until you get the login screen with the red text "Safe Mode".) I forgot that OSX even did that. Logged in as myself (normal login but still in safe mode) and low and behold the thing would sleep automatically! I repeated this (boot in normal mode, boot in safe mode) many times. Every single time the Mac would sleep from safe mode but not from normal mode. Tells me it's software not hardware. In each mode I run "Activity Monitor" and save a list of the running processes to a text file. Now compare them and shutdown each process that is different one at a time. To make this story somewhat shorter (heh) I finally found that I could consistantly make the machine sleep or not sleep by killing the "mdimport" process and restarting it. This has to do with Spotlight. To be exact, it's the process that imports Metadata into Spotlights data list (I'm no expert, have a basic understanding of this). So on a hunch I ran the terminal and entered the command to delete then rebuild Spotlights databases, "mdutil -E /". Then I let Spotlight rebuild that databases and rebooted. Guess what? The iMac sleeps perfectly now, go figure. I did this once so far and the Mac has been working correctly now for about 5 hours. I've got a feeling that the problem will come back. Especially if it's an inherent problem in Spotlight and the 10.4.3 upgrade. I don't seem to have this problem with 10.4 or earlier. Long post I know but I thought it could help someone out. Please post any comments. I'd like to know if what I did is coincidence (I really don't think so since I reproduced it many times) or not.

iBook G4 1Gig, iMac G5 2.1 Gig, iMac 266 Mac OS X (10.4.3) iMac 266 running 10.3.6, been using Macs since the '80s

Right guy's i to have researched this problem
concerning my auto sleep problem.I started off by
following Joeaux's original post by safe
booting,noting what was running in the activity
monitor,booting normaly and again noting what was
running now.I eliminated the same processes that were
running from both boots, and then started quiting one
by one, the extra processes, from the normal boot, in
activity monitor.Once you quit a process, allow the
computer to try to go to sleep i.e set energy saver
to 1minute and wait to see what happens.I tried the "
mdimport"as of Joeaux but this was not my problem.In
my case the sleep problem was down to two
applications called N67U_ButtonManager and
N124U_ButtonManager.These are for use with my Canon
scanner.I also noted that if i left the scanner
connected to the computer this would also stop it
going to sleep,even after deleting the two
applications.Hope this helps!
Thank you now i know that those login items are for my scanner, and not logic audio i am a little less angry(Logic is now an apple application but the version I run was from the emagic days and i presumed that the button managers were from this app as it was the oldest bit of software running on my machine) By the way any apps that may cause a problem like this are more than likely simply residing in your user login items and can be disabled from there permanently as far as i can see.

I looking a compatible tv tuner for a iMac 800mhz, can one any help?

I looking a compatible tv tuner for a iMac 800mhz, can anyone help?

Elgato's EyeTV 400, no longer produced, worked with iMac 800 Mhz. Just a note, your machine is a bare minimum for video conversion to compressed formats. You may get choppy video. I would seriously consider upgrading to at least an iMac G5 1.8 Ghz, if not an Intel Core2Duo iMac.

Uses for old iMac (Rev. B)

I still have my very first Mac - a Rev. B Bondi Blue iMac. It was, until recently, running Mac OS X 10.1.5. Although, it had a disk problem which I managed to recover from by doing a clean install of Mac OS 9.1.1. My dad was using it until he purchased an eMac for himself.
At home I'm using my iBook on the Airport Extreme network - shared with my housemate and her G4 Powerbook. I know that I can connect the iMac directly to my AirPort base station and it can use use the Net and be part of the home network.
I think the iMac still has loads of life in it. I was wondering what other Mac users are maybe doing with their old machines. I'd like to hear of any recommendations.

I've installed OS 10.2 on an iMac I found in a dump. I am planning to take it to work so I can use it for personal e-mail.
Some enterprising members of the iMac community has found a wooden box is the best place for an iMac to retire. See http://www.glenbo.com/imac_box/details.php .
Generally, having more than one computer per person is kind of a pointless thing. It simply chews up electricity and does not accomplish very much. You have to store your files somewhere and ideally that location is centralized, not scattered over 2 or more computers. Invariably the extra computer becomes kind of useless because it doesn't have any of your stuff on it. It no longer feels like 'yours'.
I have many many G3's sitting here and I'm using my Mac Mini (and a G4 PCI as server) and couldn't think of a use for any of my other Macs. I spend about $30 a month on electrical power for all those computers. I personally can't think of a reason to justify it besides making NStar rich.
If you're wondering why I am hanging onto those G3's that I found -- because I can. Since I can't sell them for a decent price, they might as well sit here and take up space.
I wish I could make more use of those old computers, but it is very hard. Even if I linked all of them up to make a Beowulf cluster, it still wouldn't be as powerful as my Mac Mini alone.

Bondi iMac refuses to boot CDs, crazy workaround suggestion, any comments?

Hi
Short question: can I bypass the CD reading process on my Bondi iMac entirely?
By 'cloning' genuine OS8 and/or OS9 CDs and/or Linux ppc distros onto a set of USB drives.
Then using these sticks to dd data onto a bootable partition of the hard drive using finnix (which is about the only distro I can get to work).
Boot from the new (and hopefully bootable) partition, and proceed with the install process from there; the target being a second partition.
Then just rearrange the partitions, tidy up and reclaim the space from the temp install, and there you have it, a working Bondi iMac which has effectively become a very lumpy netbook.
Anyone fancy spelling out in simple steps what to do?
Long explanation: So I bought a lime G3 iBook for spares. That worked out well, I sold the parts for more than it cost me, and I had some software left over. I should keep that; as I don't want to get into copyrighting difficulties, I thought.
So, I bought a tangerine iBook G3. Now by then I was starting to get intrigued. This seeemed like it could be saved, as a personal project. So I swapped the keyboard, battery, power supply, and even the memory for a while. Then I got into the software. Wouldn't load. Apart from finnix. So I put it up for sale - wiped - someone else's problem.
Except then I bought a Bondi iMac, same problem. CDs wouldn't load. Except for finnix, or I'd have given this up as a bad job ages ago...
So, I tried cleaning the opticals. No joy. I tried every OSX and linux distro I could lay my hands on. Nothing but finnix 86.1 worked.
I wondered about booting a net upgradeable distro on the USB, but it's USB1 and no firewire, so no can do.
But then, tonight, I think. What if... I can get (all of!) a genuine Apple CD contents onto the USB on a working CD-ROM, the USB onto a partition of the hard drive (using dd on finnix), boot the installer from the image partition, target the other partition for install, reboot, tidy up, reclaim space, and go about my business.
If that seems over-complicated, I know, I'm obsessive about old tech. And I'm very poor, so selling spare parts rather than buying them is key (or I'd just collect old CD-ROMs instead of the CDs to go in them). But when it comes to data I will not be beat, when I comes to electronics I can't change a lightbulb.
What I've got:
CD-R (lots)
Time (limited - my wife wants the iMac GONE or WORKING!)
A Bondi G3 iMac with a faulty (flakey - but very clean) CD-ROM.
A Tangerine G3 iBook with the same problem, but worse.
A working DVD/CD-R/W Windows XP machine.
A working Ubunbtu server with a CD-R (and with fairly tricky access - so no gymnastics please)
If you've got this far, you'll have had a similar problem.
I'm kind of at the meh, sell em, nah, fix em, erm, kind of stage. So sorry if I've wasted anyone's time.
Look forward to hearing from you.

The firmware doesn't support boot from a USB drive.

Bondi iMac 233 won't boot from hard drive,

I have a Bondi iMac 233, 192MB running OSX 10.3 which was being throw out at work, the hard drive (40GB IBM Deathstar) was failing but it would still boot up. I installed an original 6GB iMac Hard Drive, low level formated the drive and installed OS9.2. Now the iMac refuses to boot from this hard drive or even another 4GB Hard Drive.
The iMac will boot from CD and I can see and install a new OS onto the Hard Drive, OS9 or OSX, I can choose the drive under the Startup Control Panel but the computer refuses to boot from the Hard Drive.
I have zapped the PRAM,
Reset the NVRAM
Reset the CUDA chip.
Reset the Logic Board
Reseated Cables
Reseated Processor and memory modules
All to no avail.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
thanks
Bondi iMac Mac OS 9.2.x

I've been doing this with about 14 iMacs slot/tray that I'm prepping for inner city kindergartens in Chicago. I have had that problem where in moving from 10.3.9 to 9.2.2 the iMacs wouldn't recognize the HDs. Booting from an original iMac OS 9 install disc and selecting the HD as start up has always solved the problem for me.
However, and maybe this is related,
I've had the problem with a couple of tray loaders where in moving from 10 to 9 it wouldn't recognize the CD-ROM drive. I went through a bunch of drives before I figured out that booting from an iMac OS 8.6 CD made the iMac rerecognize the drive. I was able to reset?? all the drives that wouldn't previously work using this method. Weird but maybe there's a chip in the drive board that needed to be reset. Dunnno about the HDs tho' but it could be related.

I need to buy an External Portable HD 500GB for my iMac OSX 10.4.11 (PowerPc 2004). Can anybody please tell me a few Names/Products that are compatible? Please if you can, just tell me some product name, instead what generical characteristics it needs :s

Hello
I have been reading forums and forums and after days of research l gave up.
Unfortunately it seems that nobody has provided a name of a brand yet.
Although the effort is very admirable, l am still at the point of finding myself back at square one, with an unanswered question:
Which portable external HD 500GB should l purchase for my iMac 10.4.11 (Power PC 2004)?
I know there are many different ones, but l hope at least somebody can suggest one.
A clear Name of a Product that matches the compatibility.
I am not an expert of computer and so all the theoretical explanations of technical characteristics mean next to nothing to me :(
I hope that someone kind enough to halo me out with this will be able to let me know.
My most greatefull thank you to you all in advance :)

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac if I already have it for my MacBook?

I have Leopard on my iMac, and Snow Leopard on my MacBook (both with all available updates)~I tried to use the Snow Leopard Install DVD from the MacBook to upgrade the iMac, but it said "Mac OS X 10.6 cannot be installed on this computer." Why??? Do I have to get a hard copy of Snow Leopard for my iMac? Are there different upgrades for the iMac vs. MacBook?
I think I understand that once I have both computers on Snow Leopard, the Lion upgrade would be ONE upgrade for BOTH computers {I'm guessing I would need the client version for at home use}. Also, once Lion was on one computer, would I just go into the Mac App store on the other one and download the upgrade on the other one? But no additional fee would be charged? Lastly, I read about the combo option that includes all updates to Lion since it's release~would that be the main Lion upgrade on the Mac App or would I have to search for it?
Thanks for your help!

The disc you used would have been the install disc that came with your Mac. These can only be used on that as they are made for that specific model.
Make sure your machine meets requirements
Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
At least 2GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later (Mac OS X 10.6.8 is recommended)
7 GB of free hard drive space is recommended
Once you've purchased it would be a good idea to create a bootable DVD or USB

How do i find the url for my iMac

How di I find the URL for my iMac?

Can you explain in more detail what you mean? A URL is the address of a website - such as Apple.com or Harvard.edu. A computer will only have a URL if it has been set up as a web server and has name servers pointing to it (so that people looking for yourcomputer.com will be sent to the right place).
Conversely, every computer has an IP address, which is numerical. If you're connected directly to your internet, you will have a public IP address (it might look like 245.46.120.30, for example). Most people connect to the internet through a router, though, which gives them a private IP address only visible within their own network (something like 192.168.1.4).

How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
