Formac ProTV on Quicksilver with OS X 10.4

Hi,
I need a real help to install my Formac ProTV on my G4 Quicksilver 733 Mhz - OS X 10.4.11
I read lot of blabla but nothing consisting.
I installed to xtv, but still nothing hapened, is there a trick ?
I just want to know if it's possible to use as TV tuner or a capture card, both solutions are ok for me.
thanks for your help

Do a clean install of Leopard and once that is done pop in the older OS X Disk 1 and install the bundled software. That will give you iLife and some other trial stuff back. Just remove the stuff you don't want later.
^ I did that.

  • Approved Quicksilver with 3000 CL after EO

    First post, long time lurkerI have done a lot of research on line with credit and FICO scores and I have to say, I got the best information and advise from this Forum.So BIG thanks to everyone!!! A little background about me... Until December 2014, I had no credit whatsoever, never bothered to use one. I tried signing up for a few CC a few years back, but always got denied. Exacerbated by the fact that I have almost the same name as my father, so even though I am an authorized user on 3 CC's with excellent credit history, it never showed up on my file; Even now LOL. No student loans or installment loans, my file with the CRA's is probably razor sharp with how thin it is.Started my credit journey with the Capital One Secured credit card on 12/2014 with a CL of 200, a month later I deposited 1000 to raise my limit to a total of 1200. I charge 1400 on the card on average, but always paid in full, making sure that my account only reports less than 10% utilization. On 6/20 CapOne gave me a CLI of 300 On 6/17/2015 I applied for the Barclays Apple Rewards  and was approved for 3000 CL. Against my carefully laid out plan, I decided to go on a mini app spree. Checked multiple sites for pr-qualified offers; It was a negative for Chase, Amex, and US bank; but CapOne showed I qualified for Venture and Quicksilver Visa.I remember clearly Quicksilver Visa requires "Excellent" credit, not Limited 6 month credit history with 2 accounts; 1 was just recently approved. Brimming with confidence of my recent success, I decided to apply anyway... I ended up with the 7-10 days letter The pre-qual result was probably a glitch. Not loosing hope, and not wanting to waste 3 hard inqueries, I decided to scrounge "the" Forum for an alternate recourse. Lo and behold, information on the forum led me to CapOne's Executive Office. Sent and email explaining my full situation and my excellent payment record even though I had a short history. I informed them that I had made a mistake applying for the Quicksilver Visa and, if possible, to use the already generated credit report on a Quicksilver One Application instead.Nicole from the EO team got back to me after 4 business days and informed me that, unfortunately, because they are 2 different products (Quicksilver and Quicksilver One) I would have to resubmit an application and suffer another 3 hard pulls. Another option was that she can forward my current app to the Credit Underwriter for a recon and a soft pull. After asking for additional info (ie. Income, Rent, other Investments) I was told to wait for an email on the Final Decision. Yesterday, with all hope lost, I received my approval email for the Quicksilver with 3000 CL and no annual fee!!! Woohoo!!!I wil now be gardening until at least July next year, hopefully by then, I will manage to get Chase Freedom and an Amex Card; Perhaps a Visa Signature Card too, if I'm lucky.So a BIG thankyou to Everyone on the myFICO forums for contributing to the wealth of knowledge and informtion that enabled me to be where I am right now and acheive the results I have!!! 

    Congrats!  In my wallet: Venture 15k; Barclay Ring 12.5k; Discover 10k; CareCredit 7.7k; Amazon Store Card 5k.

  • IBook G4 to G4 quicksilver with ethernet - stopped working

    I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.11 with built in wireless internet & it connects just fine.
    I also have a G4 quicksilver desktop without wireless (too old) also running 10.4.11.
    Untill about 2 days ago, I had them connected with an ethernet cable & had no problems getting an internet connection on both.
    Now ... I have been trying to 2 days now but can't seem to get them going again. I simply can't figure this out.
    HELP!

    Wow, Alex, this is like Christmas all over again! Thank you for being so patient with me and taking the time.
    My TV is a SONY BRAVIA 40" KDL-40S2010 model. From what I understand, I have:
    - HDMI
    - VGA
    - component
    - S-video
    - 2 peritels (I think they're called SCARTs in English)
    - and audio L/R of course in 4 different areas according to the above
    With my current ibook G4, you tell me I only have a mini-VGA out which is analog, so I'm happy to stick with the current S-video connection, because:
    - the alternative VGA connection would also be analog - no point in changing?
    - I don't see DVI-D on the TV and don't see the point of analog to digital anyway
    My only current problem is that I find the S-video connection surprisingly poor.
    I know not to expect the same resolution as a computer screen, but it is only just readable, and certainly excludes using the TV as an alternative or extended monitor for any purpose.
    For video it is lousy but watchable.
    I tried all three resolution options on the mac and played with all image formats on the TV.
    MY QUESTION: is this normal???? Something tells me that it can't be - not this bad!
    And since you're so kind, I'll test a hypothetical question: given my TV which I just bought and won't change for some time soon, if I upgrade my computer to a current MacBook Intel model (not a MacBook Pro), what would be the best audio & video connection to the TV?
    If you answer this you definitely deserve a bottle of (French!) wine if you come through Paris!

  • Compatable Monitor for G4 Quicksilver with Radeon 9200

    OK, I have an old Apple G4 Quicksilver and upgraded the video card to a Radeon 9200 128 MB for Mac. I had a converter to hook up the Radeon 9200 to the original 17 inch monitor with not that great of results. What monitor do you guys recommend to replace the original Apple monitor and use the Radeon 9200? Thanks!

    The computer should heve two graphics connectoes: VGA and ADC (Apple Display Connector).
    <!BplOUOQB2k~$(KGrHqMH-DEEuUwY0E21BLr-UdCI0g~~_3.JPG 800×600 pixels>
    You can attach a VGA display to the VGA connector.
    There are adapters to connect DVI displays to the ADC port.
    <Belkin F2E9142-WHT Pro Series ADC to DVI Apple Monitor Adapter: Amazon.ca: Electronics>
    Any display up to 1920 x 1200 should work.  You should check for any updates for your graphics card.

  • Does Formac Studio TVR work with  iMovie HD 6?

    I have a Formac Studio TVR and I never did upgrade to iMovie 5 since I heard there was a problem ( I am still on iMovie 4). However, I heard some of the patchs Apple madie in iMovie 5 fixed those issues. There are some enhancements that I want to take advantage of in iMovie HD.
    I am now wishing that I did at least purchase iMovie 5.
    Does anyone know where I can get a copy of iMovie 5?
    or
    Does anyone know whether there are any problems with iMovie 6 and Formac Studio TVR?
    Paul

    I don't believe there are any problems between Formac Studio TVR and iMovie HD 6. I would just buy the iLife '06 suite.

  • G4 QuickSilver with Duo Monitors?

    I have a G4 QS that's currently connected to 2 VGA monitors (1 x ADC to VGA and 1 x DVI to VGA connectors).
    Just ordered 2 new Dell monitors with DVI connection. The graphic card is NVIDIA GeForce2 MX with TwinView (ADC / DVI). My question is, does the graphic card support DVI connection on both monitors or do I have to stick to 1 x DVI and 1 x VGA?

    I am guessing that your video card has a ADC and a DVI connector in my comments:
    If you have a ADC to DVI connector then use you may be able use both (that is if the card can support the native resolution of them at the same time). You may need a card that supports dual link DVI, I'm not sure that the Geforce2 MX does.

  • Upgraded my G4 Quicksilver with USB2 ports, now computer can't read ipod,

    i get these messages:
    Message 1. Attempting to copy to the disk “scrufff’s ipod “ failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    then immediately, i get this 2nd message...
    Message 2. The ipod “scruff ipod” cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    Before i upgraded to usb2, i used the regular old usb ports and it worked, slowly but it worked. now i don't know what's going on. Help!

    Hello Scruff,
    Have you had a chance to work through the potential solutions provided in this Apple support document? If not, it would be a good place to start.

  • Quicksilver with both 9.5 OS and 10.4.1

    It's the 10.4.1 OS that i want to use, and this hand me down does have the internet explorer for mas version 5 i think, and I went to download firefox, and i can not seem to find it to load to my dock bar.
    When the computer boots up for the 10.4.1 the screen says it is loading 9.5 layout. OK where do I start to get this thing to go to the Internet and get the Firefox and Safari? IT will go to the internet on Broadband but acts like a stalled dial -up

    Not finding the proper startup volume is a sign of a dead PRAM battery. They cost US$5 online and can be installed in minutes. They are 3 to 4X that cost if you go to Radio Shack but you have the advantage of getting the battery now. The Radio Shack/Tandy part number is 23-026
    If OS9 and OSX are installed on the same partition, you cannot use the "Startup manager" keystroke combo to display choices of OS. However, try holding "X" at boot to force OSX to be selected for boot.
    You do NOT want IE5. It's not been updated in years and cannot even render the Apple forums properly.

  • Will a 800mhz dual work with my QuickSilver

    Hi i have a Quicksilver with a 733mhz processor, 768mb ram and mac OS 10.3.9 on a 160GB. I was wondering if my 733mhz can be replaced with a 800mhz Dual. Please HELP! Thanks!!!

    Hi-
    No electrical worries.
    No jumpers, settings, nothing.
    Use the same fan, and connect the fan to the same connector.

  • Problems with formac watchandgo

    Hi,
    I've recently bought formac watchandgo, and was wondering if anybody else was using it, and had experienced the same problems as me - that it keeps quitting unexpectedly or freezes so that i have to do a force quit on it?
    Incidently, I am using an intel imac, so have downloaded the latest software from the formac website for use with an intel machine.
    Thanks
    iMac 2 Ghz Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   20" screen

    I have a Formac Studio Dv. I installed the new software for the intel Macs just out by Formac. It crashes every time you try to start it up. I reinstalled and the same thing happened. This is typical for anything made by Formac, when it comes to any of their software it never works right or you can only use a few of the functions. Bassically that company is a joke. The good news is for anyone using the Studio DV you can download a free program called Vidi that works better than anything Formac puts out. Versiontracker.com then type in Vidi. It's official Formac is on my list of hardware never to buy again, ever!

  • Quicksilver Dual 1GHz won't power up with the monitor connected.

    My Quicksilver with 17" LCD Studio display won't start up. The power button blinks on, the fans make a turn or two and the red LED on the motherboard blinks once. If I hold the power button down it blinks once but the fans and red LED repeat once a second. After this began I started it up in FireWire target mode with the monitor disconnected and it worked fine for a few hours. Then it seemed to start up ok without the monitor attached but would immediately shut off when I connected the monitor. Now just the behavior I described at the beginning. I've reset the SMU (PMU??), zapped the PRAM. left it unplugged and taken out the battery. Nothing changes. This has all been in the past 24 hours after I shipped the CPU and monitor back to my home. What's next??
    Frank

    Thanks. I tried an old VGA monitor and The CPU started up without a problem. Then I examined the pins on the Studio Display. That was the problem. Since I pugged it in several times, both the male and female plugs were screwed up. I carefully moved the pins on the plug and the receptacle back into place and everything is great now. I’m sure it wont last through to many repluggings, though.

  • G4 Quicksilver freezes at desktop screen requiring PRAM reset.

    Hi,
    I recently got a used G4 dual 1 GHZ Quicksilver with two internal hard drives(80 & 40GB). I made some mistakes when I first received it, being used to running OS 9 on a blueberry G3 with one hard drive, and now it frequently freezes after a cold start at the desktop screen.
    When I first got it, it had two HDs installed. The slave HD had OS 9.2.2 loaded on it and the master had OSX 10.4.7. Unfortunately, being used to OS9 right away I tried to open an application (Internet Explorer) on the OS 9(slave) hard drive from the desk top while running the OSX hard drive(master HD). As a result, the computer sarted opening a huge file.
    My wife came home for luch and I needed to leave. I tried to stop the program, I couldn't. I tried to shut down the computer, it wouldn't. So, I unplugged the computer. Second mistake.
    When I got home I couldn't turn the computer on. With some research I discovered how to reset the PMU. That did it.
    Unfortunately, I still hadn't learned to not try to open one hard drive while running the other without selecting it as a startup item. As a result, late that night I tried a half dozen more times to open an application on the OS 9 (slave) hard drive while not understanding that I was running the master HD. All with the same result. It took 15 minutes to open ending with a text block about the "21 day trial period for IPNetSentry" having expired then total lock up. Then I restarted and repeated the same mistake. The only thing that stopped me was that it was 2:30 in the morning. Sounds pretty stupid now. I then tried to find all the threads of this IPNet Sentry and trash them.
    The next morning my current problem seemed to begin. The screen freezes once I get to the desktop screen. I can reset the PRAM and all is fine again until the next time I turn the computer off and start it up again. It doesn't happen every time. It will happen for a few days, go away then after a week or so start acting up again. I also noticed that it doesn't lock up when I use restart, only when it is all the way off and turned on again.
    Here's what I have done to try to resolve the problem. I scrubbed both hard drives using the restore software, and I replaced the PRAM or back up battery. The apple hardware test disk passes everything.
    One more big clue. When I was reloading the restore software on the master HD I got the messages "!Could not restore the restricted-segment image. Reading block 00174A440." and then "The restore failed. The volume 'MacIntosh HD' may be unusable." Another time the first text block was the same except the reading block was 002141B0. Major bummer. It took four or five tries before I get get all five of the restore disks to install.
    In another forum I found someone else with a similar message and a responder said that the hard drive may have gotten scratched. His thinking was that in trying to open a big file (in this case, the application on the slave HD while running the master HD) that the memory got used up and spilled into virtual memory and somehow scratched the master HD.
    If anyone has any ideas of things to try before I go out and by another hard drive I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

    G4RAY,
    So, it sounds like you are saying that the Ultra ATA-100 will work in my machine.
    Yes, an Ultra ATA-100 or Ultra ATA-133 hard drive should work just fine, and your G4 does not have a 128GB size limitation so you can use any size you desire as long as you format the drive with OS X 10.2 or a later version of OS X Disk Utility. There's no real practical performance difference between using an ATA-100 versus ATA-133 drive with the drive bus on your Mac. One thing that does help drive performance, however, is the drive buffer size. Given the choice, get a drive with an 8MB buffer over one with a 2MB buffer. If you will be looking in the 300GB and larger range, some drives are available with a 16MB buffer.
    A new drive typically comes with a new 80-wire, 40-pin, Ultra DMA ribbon cable; drive pin jumpers, and a set of mounting screws. I'd use the new cable and jumper the drives as master and slave. You should have no issues with new slave drive of any size, either. Also, with a two-drive setup on a single ribbon cable, it does not matter which drive is connected to the inline or end connector, as long as one is jumpered as master and the other as slave.
    Crucial arguably produces the highest quality RAM, although it's pricey. I've been using RAM from OWC and Kingston without issue. Regardless of where you might decide to get more RAM, I'd suggest doing hardware additions in phases, rather than all at once. It gives one an opportunity to test the configuration before making the next addition; and if there's a problem, it's often much easier to pinpoint. I'd straighten out my drive issues, run the Mac for a couple of weeks, then order/install new RAM, for example.
    BTW - If you do get a new drive(s) and need some help with drive pin settings, or perhaps might be looking for some tips on setting them up with a backup plan, there are plenty of folks here who can offer helpful advice.

  • Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

    Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
    I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
    I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
    Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
    Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.

  • HDD crashed! How to install Tiger onto 867mhz G4 with no DVD drive??

    Hi folks.
    My trusty 867mhz G4 Quicksilver Powermac drive has finally konked out. It was running OS 9.2.2 before. Now I want to install Tiger as the OS.
    Having only a CD drive (nope, can't read or write DVD's), how do I proceed to install Tiger (I have the original install disk) onto the brand new blank hard drive?
    Possible tools that I have:
    1) last generation 1.67mhz G4 powerbook
    2) dual 2.5ghz G5 powermac
    3) Lacie external firewire DVD drive
    Things I have tried:
    1) hold down "c" while starting up the Quicksilver with the Lacie DVD drive hooked up to it, hoping I can start up from the optical drive, which contains the Tiger install disk. Result: blank white screen that goes nowhere. Found out that the Lacie needs at least 10.3.9 to run.
    I'm out of ideas.
    Can someone tell me the right way to do this?

    Thanks guys.
    Didn't sleep at all last night, BUT, I did it!
    1) Set the Quicksilver as a firewire target disk hooked up to my G4 1.67GHZ Powerbook. Result = frozen blue screen.
    3) Set the Quicksilver as a firewire target disk hooked up to my dual 2.5GHZ G5 Power Mac. Result = frozen blue screen
    So that got me thinking, the common thing about the Powerbook and Power Mac is that they both run Leopard. It makes sense to me that computers that already have Leopard installed will probably not run a Tiger installer.
    So, I whip out the oldest and slowest computer I have, which is an old 550MHZ Titanium Powerbook, complete with 1 broken hinge, flickering screen and peeled paint. It runs Tiger. I set the Quicksilver as a firewire target disk hooked up to the Titanium Powerbook.
    Voila! It works like a charm!
    So for anyone facing the same problem, one of the possibilities is: you can do it with the computer set as a firewire target disk hooked up to another computer running nothing newer than Tiger.
    Thanks again for your help guys!

  • Can I install a 200GB HD into my G4 Quicksilver?

    I have a 933MHz G4 Quicksilver with a 60GB PATA drive. I replaced the drive today with a Maxtor 200GB Ultra ATA/133 drive. But my Mac only has Ultra ATA/66 and I am worried that my drive may crash one day because I have exceeded the 128GB limit. But when I initialize the drive it shows 189GB formatted and the 'Verify Disk' command in the Disk Utility did not return any errors and the computer seems to be working fine. Will the drive just stop when I reach the 128GB limit or will it actually crash and destroy all my data? Would it be better if I partitioned it with two 100GB partitions instead? TIA - Eric

    Eric, excuse me for not getting back to you earlier, and for not being more precise in my answer, but no your computer will not crash when you exceed the 128 limit, and no it will not stop at 128. I meant if your boot Rom was any other version, it does not have such support and has the drive size limitation. Some QS Macs have the support, some don't. The Boot ROM version is the key to finding out. But yours does support the larger HD and that is why you are able to see the entire drive, unlike Macofthefuture he was only able to format the first 128 because he does have the logic board limit. My only explanation is maybe that you have a later 2002 release date.
    With that said, the ATA card will not give you more HD space or prevent any future crashes or data destruction.
    You can also do a search of "Quicksilver hard drive limitation" above because there have been other like you that have posted here who are using larger HDs in QS without any third party support. Read here.
