G4 Power Mac compatibility with new monitor

Have a G4 Power Mac with dual 1.25 processors and a Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card. What limits on flat panel monitors does this system have? 22", 24" or resolution?

What monitors work with a given graphics card is limited by the resolution the card will support. Size of the screen, as such, is irrelevant. The Radeon 9000 I believe supports up to 1920 by 1200 pixels via ADC or DVI and up to 2048 by 1536 via VGA (through a VGA extractor).

Have mac mini with thunderbolt monitor 1yr old, recently updated with new 10.0.2 from apple, now iMovie doesn't seem to support my Sony HDR-XR500 camera. Is there any help on this?

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

Try re-seating the Graphic Card in the G5.

I need help migrating my applications from my old G5 power mac to my new macbook pro

Im struggling migrating my applications from my G5 power mac to my new macbook pro. My G5 runs on OS X 10.5.8 and when using the traditional tool of Migration assistant my new macbook urges me to update my G5 which it obviously it can't due to its original licensing agreements. I have no codes for my software as it came on the pc: I need , Logic pro 9, the complete adobe CS4 package and final cut pro . How can i put this on my new mac ??

So you never really owned the software to begin with then. Software is licensed and has to be transferred and when you bought your Mac (PC) they really did not.

As for a temporary solution, you can run 10.6.8 as a VM under later versions of Mac OS X like Mavericks so you can have use of Rosetta and it runs the PowerPC code.
Your new Intel Mac can run Windows natively also, can dual boot both Mac and Windows, if that is of any use, for some it is.
Right now you are not in the MacBook Pro forum! :-) This is Mac Pro sans "Book" and is not a laptop at all, but a 'trash can' or tower.

The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.

Hello,
You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

You can in fact buy what you want, no need to go with Apple TV
To connect (wirelessly) your Mac to the HDMI on the TV:
They range from $100 on up.

Can't install Leopard 10.5.6 onto Power Mac G5 with Mac OS 10.2.7

I have a Power Mac G5 with Mac OS 10.2.7 and can't seem to install Leopard 10.5.6. Every time i try to install it it either says that it can not validate the contents of the Base System package or could not validate the contents of the Xll User package. If i could get suggestions on what i can try to install Leopard on to my mac G5.

Make sure it is a retail disc, as indicated here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275 Make sure you understand the difference between Archive and Install and Upgrade and install here, and erase and install: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2209 Make sure your data is backed up before you proceed: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992 Decide if you need access to Classic before you proceed, as it is gone with 10.5.

Mac Pro (Early 2008) failing with new monitor

Hi All,
I am having a strange problem with my Mac Pro and new display (ViewSonic VX2703MH-LED 27-Inch LED-Lit LCD Monitor). I first noticed some strangeness when I attempted to temporarily run the maching on a new Samsung HDTV that doubles as a computer monitor. I am using a Mini-DV to HDMI adapter, which worked great on two Samsung monitors I'd previously purchased. Anyway, I returned those because I needed ones with standard VESA mounts. So when I plug any of the new monitors in, I am getting some very unstable behavior. Sometimes the mac won't even start up, not even in safe mode. I was able to check all of my disks and zap the P-RAM, and all seems OK, yet every time I am able to startup and login successfully, it crashes after a short while after the display starts acting up. Horizontal and vertical lines come through and all of the color gets messed up. Sometimes my startup screen looks like this:
I found a table on apple.com that shows which Mac models can use Mini DVI --> HDMI adapters, but it is incomplete - it doesn't mention the Mac Pro from early 2008 at all. I was going to install Mavericks, hoping that might help, but I couldn't burn a bootable DVD copy of Lion because it is a tad too large for a DVD, even though I've read on several sites that this is possible! I am scared to blindly do the upgrade, because I am pretty sure this is some kind of hardware issue. Anyone have any experience with this? I don't think it can be just the Viewsonic monitor because I had similar troubles on the Samsung TV...however the previous Samsung monitors are not here to test. Any insight appreciated!

RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"
