Highest OS upgrade for G4 Mirror door-1.25Mhz?
Hi Mac friends...
Up to what Mac OS can support my old G4 Mirror door-1.25Mhz, 1.25GB ram and 80GB HDD? Is it 10.5.6? Plz help me knowing that.
Welcome,
Part of how well Leopard performs on your MDD depends on whether the video card supports Core Image. Run System Profiler (in Applications > Utilities) and select "Graphics/Displays" from the left-hand pane and your video card info including which video technologies are supported will appear in the main pane.
Sounds like plenty of people are running Leo without Core Image support, so that's not a show-stopper. It would be nice to have.

Best FW800 card for G4 Mirror Door?
I've got a Dual 1.25, 1.5G Ram mirror door G4, and I've got a Cinwave card installed on it as well (don't know if that matters or not.) Anybody got any advice on which fw800 is going to be best for me? I'm planning on buying a G-Tech G-Raid for additional storage for this system and capturing in 8-bit Cine YUV codec.
Thanks for your helpWe've had great success using FW800 products form Granite Digital. Both PCI cards as well as FW bridges to make my own drive enclosures.

Dual 1.25 G4 Mirrored Doors Replacement Fan Kit
Where can I get one of the replacement fan kits Apple was offering for the Mirrored Door (Wind Tunnel) computers?
I would like to add the specs of the stock fans, so you can use a comparison page to search for fans, that meet the airflow, but are lower in noise.
MDD Single CPU:
60 x 25 = 42,25m3/h / 38dB(A)
60 x 10 = 29,24m3/h / 35dB(A)
120 x 38 = 180m3/h / 49dB(A)
MDD DUAL CPU:
60 x 25 = 64m3/h / 47dB(A)
60 x 10 = ?
120 x 38 = (ca. 110-) 258m3/h variable speed fan / 53dB(A) (you can include 120x25 fans, too, when you search)
But keep in mind, that manufacturers test are all different and the specs of different manufacturers are not really comparable. Also static pressure plays a role, if a fan has the same airflow, but higher static pressure it will cool better. But that is all theoretical.
Best thing you can do is buy a used fan controller with temperature sensors on Ebay and put it outside the MDD case, route the cables through one of the PCI-Slot-covers or through the air holes. I think temperature is only given for the CPU from the MDD itself (via menumeter or something similar). This is why, if you want to do it accurate, you will have to use a fan controll, because fo the temperature sensors.
Because, putting a fan in, that claims to have the same airflow as the stock fan and will be quieter does not mean, it really hass the same airflow. Your system might be quieter, but hotter.
On the other hand, the fans are chosen by Apple, so that the worst case scenario is taken care of (person loading the CPU 100% and sitting in the direct sun *jokingly*. In other words, it does not need the 250m3/h (devide m3/h by 1,69 to get the american cfm number or use this http://www.elektrosil.com/fileadmin/templates/html/luftdurchsatz.htm )

Back in the days there was a private person working together with ebm-pabst (the manufacturer of one of the stock fans and long time so called industry-leading manufacturer, not today anymore, though, but they still have the reputation), they tried to not only lower the noise by fan choice, but measuring what wavelenghts add up for the subejctive noise impression. (While two fans might be 20dB(A) you might find one quieter, becasue it is a hizzing sound instead of a buzzing sound...).
I find that appraoch very good. One should contact the person that asked pbm-pabst, if they went any further!
All G4s suffer a design flaw, that is, that it pushes a considerable amount of the heat out through the PSU, which is, why you have the loudest fans there and there is no much variety in choosing different fans. -
G4 PowerMac Mirror Door Upgrade of ATI 9000 Pro to a 9600?
I am considering upgrading my G4 PowerMac Mirror Door mac. Specifically the graphics card in hopes of better performance. I was considering the ATI Radeon 9600 XT or Pro. However, I have noticed that some cards work only in the G5. Anyone have any idea what card, if any, is the fastest, best performing card I can place into this machine? I should mention that currently, I have the stock ATI Radeon 9000 Pro, that came with the machine. The procs are twin 1.25 Ghz Power PC, 1 MB L3 Cache per Proc. 2 GB DDR SDRAM. Thanks in advance for any help on this topic!
PowerMac G4 Mirror Door Mac OS X (10.4.6)
PowerMac G4 Mirror Door Mac OS X (10.4.6)Hello.
I am running a nearly identical MDD as yours and would highly recommend the 9800 Pro. It supports all there is to offer with Tiger, and is the best card you can buy for your current model.
I've read some problems with the 9600, and the 9800 is considerably faster, of course at a price, but if your looking for the best, there really is no other option.
Good Luck.

The iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7 or later and iTunes 10.7 requires OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8). If your profile is correct it looks like you need to update your OS X on you Mac. You can contact Apple and purchase the software from them.

Mirrored doors G4/ great computer, but some questions --- keep or retire?
Would appreciate anyone who could give me some advice here. I still have the Power Mac Mirrored Door G4/1.0 GHz Dual Processor running (purchased in 2002). It's not my only mac, but I still use this one for some tasks. It's running 10.2.9. As is, will leopard make this run even slower than necessary? (512K ram)
Just saw a warning notice that I'm about to have a drive failure. (the one hard drive/ ata). The warning (either from tech tools pro or disk warrior) may be true-- don't know. The computer still runs great.. no signs of failure, except that I probably need to get rid of 10.2.9.
If/when the drive does fail, is it worth replacing the hard drive? If yes, what's the maximum size to replace it with? Can you tell me the exact specs to look for? The original is a seagate...use that brand again?
I only have 512K ram in there. Upgrade at the same time I do the hard drive?
As is, 512K RAM, if I install leopard is it going to be VERY VERY slow?Hi! Your machine can handle large ata drives probably up to 750gb without any problems. It has 4 ram slots so sticking 4 512mb sticks of ram brings you to 2 gigs and it won't be too slow on Leopard. It won't be as fast a a G5 or MacPro but it will run Leo just fine. 4 sticks of RAM will cost about 65 bucks and a new 500 gig hard drive will cost 80 bucks or so. So for about 150 bucks you can move up in the world. I often buy new hard drives off eBay for less money for projects myself. Tom

Beefing Up a Dual 867 Mirrored Door
Hi Gang
I just picked up a used G4 Dual 867 Mirrored Door. I'd like to have it around as a backup for my G5 Single 1.8 - I'm about to get a new Hard Drive for it. Was wondering about the Seagate 500 Gig below. After I successfully install the new drive, was wondering if I should add some other features?
Think it might make sense to get the OWC Processor upgrade? With this upgrade, even though it might be faster than my old G5 single, it still can't go above 2 Gigs of RAM.

MikeHey Kenichi - ole wise one
Restraint is a great idea especially when your're broke. I really didn't want that processor upgrade when I saw how much it was. I will however pick up that Seagate 500 Gig HD, and maybe I'll spring for the Radeon 9200. That's a reasonable upgrade for still under $200.
I also have a G4 733 Quicksilver with this upgraded processor;
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEG42M1200/
It works great, but I think the Dual 867 I just picked up may still beat out the Quicksilver even in it's current configuration?
I never cared for the iMac design, (with it's hardware built into the screen housing)
Thanx

We have an older G4 Power Mac that we use for Video editing. Recently upgraded to FC Studio, Motion 3 wil not run on this machine due to Video card not supporting open GL. Our IT depart purchased a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC/Mac edition, they were told it would work.
The machine will boot, but ther is no display visable.
Is this machine capable of running this software? IF so which Video card do we need to purchase?
Info:
G4 1.42 mhz Mirror door
OSX 10.4.10
Motion 3
Curent vid card AGP ATI Radeon 9000 pro
New Vid card ATI Radeon 9600 PC/Mac (no display)
TIA
BobATI does have a 256 meg VRam 9800 card built specifically for the 2x/4x agp PowerMac G4's like yours and I bought mine through OWC, although I don't see it currently listed for sale. It would be a better choice than the 128 meg vram card, if you can find it.
That being said, I wouldn't bother to even load FC Studio 2 on this powermac of yours. Motion 3 will barely operate and FCP will launch and then laugh in your face. It's not a pleasant experience; I know firsthand as I loaded Studio 2 on my Quicksilver G4 dualie as a test while awaiting delivery of my Mac Pro last summer. You desperately need to update/upgrade your hardware. -
PowerMac G4 (Mirror door drive) shuts down automatically when starting up.
I use a PowerMac G4 (Mirror door drive) 1.25 Ghz processor with1.25 GB ram, 80GB HDD. OS 10.2.7
Recently I could not start the machine as it automaticallyshuts down during starting when the log in dialog box appears. It also creates excessivesounds (hopefully from the processor fan) during starting up.
What is the possible cause for it? Upgrading the OS (10.5.8) could solve it? Or suggestions from exparts like you? Plz Help.Thanks BDAqua. Sorry, no actionsworked. I think, the possible cause might be, the processor heats up more andthe fan start rotate more to cool down the processors and it makes the sound.But processor becomes hotter and the CPU automatically shuts down.
Apple service center in my townseparated, cleaned and reinstalled the processor & motherboard from thecase but NO IMPROVEMENT. They are trying to suggest (with confusion) changingthe processor. Do the diagnosis going right path? They do not have any G4 1.25 GHzprocessor, where will I get it? Anysuggestions from the experts of this forum? -
Need recommendations on improving my G4 mirror door
Machine has been running great since I bought it, but I've about cleaned up all I can to my original 80GB HD and now am running about 6GB free space. Things aren't as snappy as it was before as booting I get the blank desktop for awhile while the beachball spins till all the icons show up. Rather annoying having to wait for a simple system really...sooo, I want to do what I can to speed it up.
1. I'd like a larger HD. I haven't shopped in ages, so I'm a bit rusty on my technologies like SATA and such. I know this is pre-SATA, so am I still able to find a compatible drive for this machine? If so, which one is a recommended fast one? I've never been able to really play with Final Cut Express so I want something that would be fast and better. Can I get SATA on this if possible?
2. I have a WD external "Book" drive. It takes a good few minutes before the d%mn thing shows up on my desktop, which is another annoyance. My work PowerMac G5 externals are always on right away. Is it just the age of my machine? It shouldn't take more than a minute but sometimes, it doesn't even show up even after connecting/disconnecting the USB 2 cable. I am using a USB 2 PCI card (got it at the now defunct CompUSA, but mac dude at the store said this was compatible w/ all the macs he sold...CompUSA brand though). I notice my System Profiler will beachball for a long time then when it stops, then I am able to view my "Contents > Hardware > USB" and see the ports.
3. The beachballs are driving me nuts. The machine is old so I don't want to really spend too much more money, but I want to be able to survive wait times and speed things up till I can afford a new machine. Is it better just to get a Core Duo 2 Mini and forget this one? I find I use external drives now anyways, but I can't really stretch the $1K mark for a low end iMac. But the speed difference is much better on the base iMac than a Mini, but then again, if I'm "getting by" with this old G4, a Mini is light years ahead right? Any advice? $799 is a big stretch, so I'm looking at these cheap tweaks for my machine now. My main thing is to get a bigger HD and stop the beachball spinning.
Let me know which hardware I need, as I don't know what is still "compatible" with this older box.
Also, are there any good hardware upgrades for this? I notice for the older PMG4s but mirrored door seems to have no CPU upgrades. I only own a single one, is there a dual one for this, or even an Intel for it?
Thanks for any help offered!

I would to upgrade this to at least 2.8Ghz
I need to find out what is compatible with my computer.
Could i use a Mobile Pentium 4 Processor or do i need the specific one that i am currently using that has the M symbol?

I was looking at this page
http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/list.asp?ProcFam=826
and it appears that the highest processor speed for

Thank you
Message was edited by: rachelrisingUnless changes were made to the 6100 series that spares dealers don't know about then the processor is not soldered direct to the board, a locking zif socket is used.
Sorry Rachel, now we're into unknown territory. I looked at http://www.impactcomputers.com/p000363550.html as an example and then using the CPU ID sl6j5 to http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/details.asp?sspec=sl6j5 which indeed is an M processor. Extra parts to consider possibly; the heatsink & fan assembly. As stated before, the current one may only be rated to match the processor originally fitted, on the other hand it may be ok. I suspect nothing else would need changing - I have no idea if Tosh would have limited the BIOS to recognise only one or two CPU types per model (unlikely).
The warnings given by Quad and Andrej re disassembly are extremely important so where possible obtain a service manual prior to doing anything. I have a 6000 copy which may be the same layout, be meticulous in your work. Screws have identifying letter/number combinations meaning differnt types and lengths and must be returned to the correct locations. Some are also supposed to be discarded and new ones put in as they have a vibration proof seal to prevent coming loose, as you will not be doing this, tighten well (not over) and double check your work. The insides are full of delicate cable and wires attaching various parts do not force or pull sharply on anything, lift gently look and trace connections - remember to note the locations and orientation. Plastics are held by regular and often mirrored pips, these are prone to break if not carefully eased apart. If the case is not giving, check for hidden screws under labels or inside compartments like battery/RAM/CD/DVD. The CPU must always be refitted with fresh thermal compound and as everything is tightly packed keep it clean and use sparingly but sufficient to coat the surface thinly. Take care when unlocking/locking the processor that you do not slip - disaster if you hit the SMD components they will break. Once assembled a gentle shake will determine if anything has been forgotten or fallen out and watch out for the left over screw at the end!! The whole process can be very daunting so approach only if you have the utmost confidence and can live with repercussions - nothing is guaranteed.
And don't forget - anti-static precautions at all times!

Dual 1.25 mirror door G4 door stop
Dunno if anyone can help, offer advice or share a similar bad experience with me..
I bought a lovely new mirror door G4 a couple of years ago, upgrading from my trusty old beige G3 so that I could really get the most out my recently purchased Logic Pro setup.
I was new to OS X and wasnt sure what to expect, so when I started getting occasional kernel panics I wasnt too worried, thought it was just one of those things.
But fairly quickly they started to become quite tiresome, and after chatting to other friends with similar machines I learnt that this wasnt normal behaviour.
I did a bit of research and discovered various things that could be triggering it, and systematically went through my list.
External devices - gone. P-Ram - Zapped. Disc doctor - Run. Ram removed and changed - Done. Powersupplies - changed. system rebuilt - done. HD erased and reinstalled - done.
nothing.. the kernel panics continued.
I even got them reinstalling the basic OS!
After 5 months of this and not much joy from the original reseller, they reluctantly took it back for a check up.
"We checked it, reinstalled the system and it all seems fine now"
Day one.. kernel panic..
Reinstalling Logic and all my other apps.. kernel panics..
Back onto the reseller..
"but it seemed fine here... "
I suggested the Ram again, so some more was sent out. (after a couple of months of waiting)
Same problem. Kernel panics galore.
Ok, so we're a year in now, and my warranty has run out.
Apple kindly extend it and the machine is eventually taken in by another reseller who seem to thoroughly go over it and find problems with the logic board which they replace.
Im slightly more optimistic with these guys who seem wholly more professional, but unfortunately the problems continue.
approaching 15 months now..
I do more research. Swap the Ram with my work machines and whammo, they kernel panic! I'm sure I've sussed it this time and speak to Apple who extend the warranty again.
I speak to the original resellers and explain the problem and specify the top end Kingston Ram as being the only brand that I have read that works 100% with the Power Mac G4's which they agree to replace my old ram with and so another long wait begins..
This takes almost 3 months to arrive.
I set it up, fire up the machine and start reinstalling software...
kernel panic.
I am gutted. Nothing left to try.
I speak to Apple again and they really strike the final nail into the coffin this time by telling me, Im sorry, your warranty has run out, theres nothing more we can do.
This goes on for a few calls with me getting more and more irate, until I manage to get the details of a physical customer relations department that I can actually write to.
So, October 2005 and I write a lengthy letter and include 2 years worth of email correspondance between me and various resellers outlining the problems I have been having.
No reply, so November I write again...
No reply, so December I write again...
No reply, so I call them up to find out whats going on, only to be told that they have no record of recieving anything, the mail must have been lost, oh and you're out of warranty?! But I will not take this as closure on the case, so they suggest to fax them.
So, I fax over all the letters and sit back waiting for the swift reply I am promised.
No reply! So, a week and a half later, today, I call again and guess what..
Yes, we are still waiting for your fax to arrive?!
I explained that fax's where generally a fairly instant device and that it wouldnt take a week and half to get there (this is technical support?)
Oh yeah, one bit of priceless support that I got was after returning from holiday last year and continuing with my enquiries, and I was told that sometimes electrical devices stop working if they arent turned on for a couple of weeks?!!! I had to ignore that one. Are they mental?!
So now here I am, on hold, for an hour so far, waiting to be put through to an imaginary senior representative who will no doubt just tell me what Ive already been told a dozen times..
anyone experience anything similar?
Should I drop it off the roof and go to pc world and buy a dell?
aghhh...
Thanks for listening.. needed a vent for my rant!
MHey
Yeah, it was more of a rant than anything.
I'd been on hold for an hour to the customer support line and whilst waiting browsed onto the site and felt the need to relieve some pent up anger.
I've used the Apple disk utility to run the hardware and disk checks.
I used one other system profiler app when I first got it, but to no avail, and was warned away from Norton very early on so havent touched that.
It turns out after talking to support that absolutely everything was replaced, so Ive basically got a new machine, apart from the casing and electrics, so maybe the problem lies within the construction.
I did try running the mac with OS X, and I did indeed still get the panics, I also experienced panics whilst trying to install OS X onto an erased drive with no extra ram, peripheral devices, pci boards.... nothing...
Hopefully now apple will see that Ive actually been trying to revive a lemon and it is beyond repair and help me out.
To really rub my face in it, my monitor is now on the way out too!!
I think in 2 years, I must have got about 2 months use out of the machine and it is determined to either send me grey or turn me to PC.
Every time I power it up, I have to half prepare myself for the grey screen to slowly descend across my desktop revealing the oh so familiar restart message.
Will it ever end?!!

Power Mac Mirror Door DVI or ADC to SINGLE RCA VIDEO OUT to a TV...adapter?
I have a Mirror Door G4 tower that I would like to use as a media center, with an old(er) Magnavox 19" television that only has the single yellow VIDEO IN jack, and the red and white audio L and R. Is there a converter cable that is similar to the one I used to use with my old G4 Powerbook which took the mini DVI and turned it into either composite video out? (I think it was Mini DVI, maybe ADC, whatever that little square video out on the Powerbook G4). I am prepared for low-res results, mostly just want to look at the itunes window and occasionally view utube clips or DVDs.
Also, does the G4 take the original Airport card (not the extreme), and if so does it need a separate antenna the way some G5s do?
And finally should I get good results with a Bluetooth dongle plugged into a USB port on the rear of the G4 when connecting a white Apple wireless keyboard?
Some of these answers will of course sort themselves out with experimentation, but any tips or experience in doing these things would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, m.I expect the weasel-words in Apple's description are there to be sure that whatever Video card you choose, the card does actually provide the signals needed. These are the VGA-equivalent signals around the Bar at one end of the connector. That gets you Red, Blue, Green+Luminosity, H-Sync and V-Sync. Those signals in combination are all that is needed to build S-Video or Yellow-RCA composite video On-the-Fly (not buffered).
The signals can be sliced and diced to get slightly different versions of Analog Video using adapters built around the SKART interface. There is a cheap one-chip wonder converter used in lots of converters, also loosely called SKART.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKART
This does NOT do conversion to Digital Video, DVI, or HDMI when starting from VGA. That kind of converter has memory and scanning hardware that pushes the cost up higher than the price of an display card.

Can no longer boot to OS 9.2.2 on a Dual Processor Mirrored Door G4?
Hope someone can put me out of my misery...
I've been running my Mirrored Door (MDD) Dual G4 for years and have always booted into OS 9, but today, the Mac has decided to boot to OSX.
From the Startup Disk Control panel in OSX, I have selected the OS9 system folder as the startup system, but after a restart, OSX still loads. However, on a restart, I notice that I get a quick OS 9 smiley face along with the question mark before it boots into OSX.
The thing is that when OSX is up and running, I can start Classic manually and OS runs OK so I presume the OS 9 Sytem Folder is OK.
Is there something I can do to get the boox booting back to OS9?
Thanks in advance.If you still have issues after following Kenichi's excellent advice, let us know if you changed anything, ie. added a new disk, added a new application, moved disks, moved the OS9 System Folder, etc.
a guaranteed-to-work very last resort is to
let it boot into OSX,
backup the OS9 System Folder to a subdirectory (make sure it's not in the top level of the boot disk).
use the MDD restore cd's to perform a partial restore, in which you select to restore OS9.
You would then need to re-install any other updates to OS9 since 2003, usually iTunes, QuickTime, etc. There's a definitive list of 6 updates that we keep posting in these forums, but I just can't remember them just now.
- hang on ... Carbonlib v1.6, iTunes v2.0.4, QuickTime v6.0.3, Authoring Support v1.1.9, AppleScript v1.8.3 and MRJ 2.2.6 (Java).
Plus any printer / scanner drivers you may need. But all of these could probably be salvaged from the backup you made of the OS9 System Folder.
If you're like me, I backup the OS9 System Folder every week and keep 4 generations. Mine is about 300MB, 92MB compressed, worthwhile in these days of 120GB-500GB disks. -
