How can I get a 7800 GS to run in my Power Mac G4 FW800?

Hi, I'm looking to max out my G4 since it's my main desktop and it's served me well (and still is!). I've decided to get a SATA II PCI-X card and a graphics upgrade, and for the graphics upgrade, I've found that the NVidia GeForce 7800 GS is probably the best option I have. I found one on eBay for $149.99 (within my budget), and I'd like to know how hard it would be to get it to run on my G4. I read about taping pins 3 & 11, doesn't sound too hard, but I'm not sure what to do about BIOS flashing.
Long story short, I want this card, but I don't want it to be FUBAR as a result.
Looking forward to feedback and a supercharged G4!
P.S, here's the link for the card -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/251729323084

You may want to look at this first to make sure this card is compatible with your PowerMac MDD 1.42 Ghz CPU model.
Make sure that your particular card has already been ROM flashed to use in a Mac.

How can I get a display of all running programs in lion like I used to get when I did a 4 finger swipe in snow leopard?

how can I get a display of all running programs in lion like I used to get when I did a 4 finger swipe in snow leopard?
I liked to turn off running programs without a window that I was no longer using
thanks.
Best I can do now is to open the "force quit" window and click on programs I want to stop and then send each one a "command-Q" and then repeat as necessary

Command + Tab is what you are after i think

How can I get my music from a digital book onto my MAC?

I purchased an album from iTunes using my iPad and now that I want to add it to my daughter's Nook from Mac its not giving me the music to download only the Digital book. How can I get my music and add to my library?

It sounds to me like the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" was turned off in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences when you added the tracks from the flash drive, so iTunes left them on the flash drive rather than copying them to your computer's hard drive. Get Info on any of the tracks and see where iTunes thinks they should be located. If they're pointing to the flash drive, check that preference.
If that is indeed the problem, you'll need to fix the location. You can do this track by track if there aren't too many, but if there are a number of them, it'll be easiest to remove them from the iTunes library, fix the above-mentioned preference, and add the tracks again. Or you can just keep the flash drive connected to your computer, but that's probably not ideal.
Regards.

thank you

That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

How can I get another "Start Up" disc to restart my old Mac a G4 os x 10.4.11?

Could a "Verify Disc" problem be setting off a "DNSChanger" warning from my Internet carrier, CenturyLink? DNSChanger Remover tool v. 2 SecureMac 2008 comes up clean each time. I never had a "Start up" CD, and my TDK CD player won't print...

Did you check your Router, I hear some of those can be infected?
If you're using Wifi/Airport, what kind of Encryption is it using?
If Verify Disk reports a problem, try this, but it's not very likely related to the DNS Changer problem...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

How can I get a downloaded application to run when security settings won't allow it?

I am trying to run an application today that I downloaded from Safari. I run this every single business day by control - clicking to open it in Finder. Today it won't allow me to open it all because of my security settings. When I temporarily remove my security settings it still will not let me open it. How can I run an application every time, when I want to run it, regardless of my security settings?
I am using Safari, Mavericks, and MacBook Pro.

Your control is allowing the app to run or not. I'm not sure what other type of control you could possibly mean since any app, once running, does whatever it does; you can't control any app past that point.
If you prefer not to disable the settings in the System Preferences, then right click on the app and choose Open. That will allow that app to run while still leaving the basic security feature on. You only need to do this once. The app will be assumed as trusted after that.

How can I get my iTunes on my Windows machine and my Mac in Sync

I use both a Window's machine and a Mac. I first had my iPhone4 in sync with my iTunes on my Window's machine. Now I want to also have the iTunes on my Mac in sync with what is on my Window's machine, but when I plug in my iPhone none of the apps that are on my Window's machine are there.
And when I click sync apps on my Mac it warns that all the existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library. How do I get them to be the same?

Hi
did you try home sharing in iTunes? Turn it on on both machines and enter your Apple Account Information. This schould do the job.
