G3 and what OS can I install

G3 flower version, what OS can I run I have a PowerPC 750 (G3) 400 MHz with 256 mb ram. it has cd only no DVD, I am a little new to macs. what can I install and also where can I get it?

G3 flower version
If it's a +Flower Power+ (case has colorful flower-like pattern), it should be 500 MHz (unless the motherboard was swapped). Here is no information about that model.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac500_fpbd.html
It's a good iMac G3 model, but you may NOT want to invest too much money into it at this point. Even if you max it out to 1GB RAM (2 x 512mb), put in a bigger hard drive, and install the latest supported software, it will still not handle everything you need a computer to do these days. If you understand the limitations, it can certainly be useful. But if you are expecting it to play YouTube videos in high-res full screen, you will be frustrated. And if you spend $300 on software and hardware upgrades, you are half way to a new Mac mini that come with the latest hardware and software.
Having said that, you can install up to Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.11). More RAM would be good to have with Mac OS X. You will have to get a copy of Tiger on eBay or other online source. You need to get a disc that is from a retail package. A retail disc is black with a big silver X. Unfortunately, retail discs for Tiger are usually on DVD, and a CDROM set is hard to fine these days. You can also run Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.9). The retail Panther came on a set of three CDROMs. In either case, do not get a disc that came with another Mac model (usually grey in color); they usually do not work on a different model. I would not get a version of Mac OS X before Panther.
You can also run Mac OS 9, version 9.1 or later.
Does it currently have an install OS?

  • Hi, my mac has stopped playing some avi files (that used to work). I can see the video. Does anyone know why and what i can do? My version of quicktime is 7.6.9.

    Hi i have avi files saved in iphoto that i used to be able to play through quicktime. However in the last few weeks i cannot play many of these files. I can see the videos and click on them but nothing happens (i have version 7.6.9 of quicktime). Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do about this?
    Thanks.

    What do you mean by what audio/video formats are involved? These are all files from several digital cameras.
    As previously stated, AVI is a file container. It is somewhat old and its originator, Microsoft, dropped official support of it over a decade ago. However, it remains popular with PC users since almost any valid audio and/or video compression format can be stuffed to the file which synchronizes the content by interleaving the individual audio and video frames. The compression format is the specific manner in which the audio and video data are encoded as it is placed in the AVI container. You can find the compression format by inspecting the file in the Finder "Info" window, or in the "Inspector" window of the QT player (or other media player) if the file can be opened.
    For instance, one popular compression combination would be to place DivX encoded video and MP3 audio in an AVI file container. However, neither DivX nor MP3 is natively supported by the QT player. (Although iTunes will natively support the MP3 audio.) Therefore, people who wish to play such files in the QT 7 Player would normally install either the DivX component or Perian but not both. Either installation will independently play such files in the QT Player, but if both are installed, the file will usually stop working since these two codecs can create a playback conflict.
    However, the AVI container could just as easily contain DV along with DV audio. In this case, the file should play correctly in QT since this compression format is natively supported by the basic component configuration that comes in every current OS installation. Therefore, if such files suddenly stopped playing, this could be an indication that a component has been moved or deleted or that your system or QT embedded structure has become corrupted.

  • Final Cut Suite 1 and Snow Leapard - Can't install

    Final Cut Suite 1 and Snow Leopard - Can't install
    "Your computer doesn't have the required hardware to run this software, see Read Me for details."
    I take a look at the 'Before You Install' file, since there is no 'read me' file and it's hardware requirements are basically ancient for what this computer has.
    I assumed that Final Cut Suite 1 was simply too old for Snow Leapard, but my searches are not hitting in Goggle or here at the FCP Forums.
    Any ideas would be great, thanks for your time!
    -Monty

    What is the Final Cut Pro version included in your Studio 1 suite?
    If it is a 5.0.x version, then it is Power PC only. That version will install on an Intel based Mac but exhibit some odd quirks. In short, it was incompatible to start with.
    A 5.1.x version should [at least in theory|http://snowleopard.wikidot.com>, work without problems.

  • I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

    I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

    That's often a permissions problem. Try launching Disk Utility and running the Repair Permissions. That may fix the problem. Also confirm that the Office 2011 folder is in the Applications folder at the root of the hard drive, not a folder within your wife's Home folder.
    If that doesn't help. post back with further details; your version of Mac OS X, whether you installed Office via a user account with admin privileges or not, and what happens when you try and launch Office from your account including error messages if any.
    Hope this helps.

  • I threw up the box before installing photoshop elements 13 and now i can not installed my brand new photoshop because i do not have a serial number

    I threw up the box before installing photoshop elements 13 and now i can not installed my brand new photoshop because i do not have a serial number

    When you buy software, the serial number is really what you're buying, since the software is typically downloadable. So don't throw it away in the future.
    If you registered the software before you threw away your serial number, then Adobe may have a record of your purchase.

    I have an iphone 3g with ios 3.1.3 but while i'm installing some app it, i get this error 0xe8000050 while syncing app in my iphone and some app can not install. what's the problem?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221
    The last release of iOS to support the 3G was 4.2.1, which was released on November 22, 2010.
    iOS 4.3, released on March 11, 2011, did not support the iPhone 3G.

    If you have another pointing device installed, remember that the Mac uses "all sources live". You can literally use two or more mice or two or more keyboards at once.
    Your trackpad, if that is what you are using, must be very clean. Any debris may be seen as another "finger".

  • My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?

    I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
    BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Actually, you cannot download Snow Leopard. You downloaded a Snow Leopard updater.

  • I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications.

    I just upgraded to 10.7.3 and now I can't install any applications. Everything else in the OS and in applications seems to work OK. After the installers ask for the system password, they do nothing. I doesn't hang; it just won't proceed any further in the install process. I can press the back button and it seems to do that just fine. I repaired the disk permissions, but to no avail.
    After I installed 10.7.3, I tried to install an updater that was listed as being recommended for Time Machine users. That was the first time I tried to launch an installer of any sort and it did the same as above. I've gathered since then that the update wasn't necessary and was already included in the 10.7.3 I loaded today.
    Any hints?

    I'm having a similar problem after installing 10.7.3 and the Messages beta. I've unistalled Mesages with little bit of trouble.. Linc, I followed the step given in your final post any help would be appreciated.
    A screenshot of my actual error. I get this error not just for Flash, but also Handbrake. I receieve th error even when I try using a programs automatic update. However, not suprisingly I do not get the message when using Apple's software update.
