If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.

I have a power mac G5. It boots up fine and then a screen comes down and in a bunch of different languages tells me the machine needs to be restarted. At this point everything is frozen. I have done this a number of times and I get the same thing.

Not sure how to really work this, I have an ipad and just trying to make everything work together as far as using icloud. As you can guess my apple G4 has been made 2004. I got this from a friend about a year ago but never bothered to update it till now, when I have an iPad 2. Just want everything to work together so I could organize every part of my life.

10.5.8 is the latest OS a Power Mac will run.

I have a Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an antennae?

I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an additional antennae? If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.

Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

It's old but my favorite Power Mac G5 OSX 10.5.8

How can i get and use iCloud for my Power Mac G5 OSx 10.5.8 ? Since Mobile Me no longer exist now my system needs access to Mobile Me in order for the DVD drive to operate.
To date what resources I have keeps telling me that since my G5 Apple is so old that I will not be able to gain control of my DVD unit in my Apple Power Mac G5.
I brought out my old G5 out of storage, it's been over five years since I last used it. Past five years have been using a PC computer with windows 8.1 on it because of the amount of problems I decided to get my old Apple computer out. The problem is my Apple computer a G5, dual processor is the old Apple processor it is not an Intel processor. The fact that I really hate Microsoft operating systems. I assume that because everyone is or has gone to Intel processor's this means that Apple has decided to forget all those Apple Power Mac's out there. To bad because of this my next new computer will not be an Apple.
Reason Apple with intel based processors use software to per say settle down the Apple computer. The program a couple of them do allow the Newer Apple desk top Pro's to run Microsoft Windows, but keep in mind when ever a computer use's a software program to simulate so that your computer can use Microsoft windows that software program really restricts Apple. Again your Apple powermac doesn't use windows directly. These day's everything' based on a computer that uses Intel Processor's. Apple's user's can not download any files, games or what ever on their Old Apple computer.
Again my Apple pro is not an intel based machine, so now what it sound like I'd better off. NO!!!!!. Nobody tells me I can't use any apple book on there operating.
Now am I stuck with an old G5 unit least till x-number of years

Since Mobile Me no longer exist now my system needs access to Mobile Me in order for the DVD drive to operate.
Hello,
I'm using a G5 right now with 10.4.11 & 10.5.8, the DVD drive works fine, what exactly is the problem with yours?

I have a power mac G4. OS 10.4.11 I just got a new iphone G3S what will it take to get my phone to sync with itunes?

I have a power mac G4 OS 10.4.11 I just purchased a new iphone G3S how can I get it to sync to itunes? When I try I get a message that I need OS 10.5 can I load 10.5 on it? can I still buy 10.5 ?
CPU speed 800mhz

Don't fret.
Find a copy of Leopard (call Apple Customer Support and tell them that you have a machine that can't run Snow Leopard).
You could also go to eBay.
After that, install it:

Leopard will run fine in a 800 MHz machine.

I have a power mac and the hard drive is about to die, i have a new hard drive to install, i know how to remove and put the old in the second space and load the new one, then what...when do reinstall the OS and transfer data from old drive

I have a power mac, the hard drive is struggling, I have a new hard drive ready to install, after I pull the old one and put the new one it's place and place the old one in the next slot ready to transfer data....how do I start this next step. Do I down load OS, and go to utililities...please just a step by step after hard drives in position.

Hi Susan, you must have a Mac Pro, Powermacs cannot run 10.6.x
Anyway, once you Install the new drive, you likely must Format it...
How to format your disks...

(To Install OSX on an IntelMac the Drive it needs the GUID Partitioning scheme mentioned at the bottom.)
Thanks to Pondini, Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks...

Then Install the OS & on first boot of the new install, after a step or two, avail yourself of Migration Assistant & Migrate everything.

I have a Power Mac G5 - How can I run Matrox MX02 mini max

I have a Power Mac G5 Running Mac OSX 10.5.8 I recently got the MX02 Mini Max by Matrox to run my Final Cut Studio application version 6.6 and Im having problems with the pci board that comes with the matrox unit ( it does not fit in the mother board) how would i be able to use this with out connecting the pci board into my mother board on my Mac.?

Can't use it with a G5.
System requirements are Mac Pro and Intel-based MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 or higher.
IF (big if) the card is PPC Mac compatible, only Late 2005 G5 machines have PCIe. All other G5s are PCI.
The Matrox card is PCIe, not PCI.

I have a Power Mac G4. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I get an error message stating it doesn't recognize the disc and an error

I have a Power Mac G4 with OX 10.4.11. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I've gotten two different sets of messages. One states that
the disc is not readable and an error code: 0x8002006D. The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025.
What is going on? I need to burn discs immediately for a conference next week.

"The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025."
The error (0x80020025) refers to an unsupported drive (not disk). I've read about relaunching the Finder to correct the problem. Choose "Force Quit" from the Apple Menu and then choose "Finder." Click "Relaunch" and see if the drive still produces the error. If there's no change, I'd be tempted to replace the drive.

Apple Power Mac G4 speakers - connecting to Airport Express?

Hi.
Is it possible to connect the old Apple Power Mac G4 speakers (ie. those displayed at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300153379805&fromMakeTrack= true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:middle:uk) to my Airport Express?
That is, do the two devices have compatible jack and jack socket?
Thanks

Simply converting the mechanical connection isn't enough.
There used to be a device called an iFire which allowed you to use those speakers with any computer that had FireWire. That device has been discontinued for a very long time. Anyway it wouldn't allow you to connect the speakers to an AX.
You need powered speakers to use with the AX.

PSE 6.0 Mac - Apple Power Mac G5, - Which Camera RAW?

I have a Apple Power Mac G5. Uses Power PC Processor. Not Intel. Also have PSE 6.0 for Mac installed.
So which Camera RAW do I load with this setup? Tried to load Camera RAW 5.6 to no avail.
Thanks
Bob AZ

ACR 5.6 is compatible with PSE6.
You can install the update manually.
1. Exit Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge
2. Open the download file and double-click CameraProfiles.dmg and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats
5. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop Elements or Adobe Bridge.
