Your question has nothing to do with the Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express.
Please post your question in the appropriate iMac (Intel) support area.

  • I want to upgrade my ( iMAC 800Mhz Power PC G4 &  iBOOK 700Mhz PC G3)

    Hello!
    I want to upgrade if possible over 1GB ? my now slow computer ( iMAC 800Mhz Power PC G4 ) and a ( iBOOK 700Mhz Power PC G3 ) which I don't think I'm confident enough to change the internal memory but the user memory I think I can attempt!
    So I'd like to know what type of ram or "model numbers" I should be looking for if I what to upgrade my empty DIMMO /J22 slot to a 1GB ?
    Keeping in mind I still have a 256GB factory standard ram in place (256 SDRAM PC133U-333)
    i.e. how many pins "184 0r 200" do I need for for my model?
    I seen lots off ram types like "Kingston PC2700, 333MHZ DDR 1GB memory "
    PC2700 333MHZ is this the model number I should be looking for to upgrade to 1.256?
    and for my ( iBOOK 700Mhz Power PC G3 ) is this also able to be upgraded to beyond the the original ibook specs just like it is suggested for the iMAC? which I also have only the original 256 SDRAM and a empty ram slot! again I not sure what model or type of ram I should be looking for here? or what is the max. it can be upgraded to with the new high density ram everyone is talking about!
    I know you guy's must seem to answer these by now simple question for you! am sorry I don't have something more challenging for you but I do need your help with this one please!
    since you've already done this and seem to know what your doing! I would like to ask for your help or anyone who know the answers to my questions ?
    Thank you in advance!

    Unfortunatley, only imac models above 1ghz can take module of 1GB. your model can accomadate 512mb bringing it up to 768Mb which will make a decent improvement.
    go to crucial.com and input your imac model to get the right type for your system. it's also best to buy from mac friendly companies as some cheaper modules wont work
    best of luck

  • 1st gen. iMac G5 power supply failure

    Hi, all!
    My 20" iMac G5 here at work collapsed and died on me about a week ago. The computer just deactivated abruptly; I actually had thought that I had kicked the plug or stepped on the power bar by mistake. I restarted it, and it worked for twenty minutes before dying again. Now it's entirely unresponsive. Having read up on the matter here and in the Mac support pages, I'm quite sure the power supply has failed. I'm in the process of finding out whether the computer is still covered under Apple's Repair Extension Program. (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/ - I know the iMac model is correct, my serial number matches the range, I'm just not sure if the computer is less than three years old.)
    Anyway, the important thing for me is the hard drive, not the machine itself. We're entirely Mac-based here at work, so there is no shortage of machines for me to work on (I've already replaced my old machine with a much newer Intel-based iMac), but I would very much like to retrieve my data from my old hard disk. I've downloaded the DIY guide for opening the 20" iMac G5 and removing the hard drive, but I need some advice on the best plan of action. Should I then open another, working G5, remove its hard drive, insert my old hard drive and transfer my files off to my new iMac through our company server? Or is there another way to approach it? Is the hard drive on my 20" first gen G5 compatible with newer mac models, or am I going to run into problems with connectors, physical disk size, etc.? Or, should I just leave well enough alone and leave the entire operation to a Mac Genius?
    This will be my first time opening an iMac. I believe that I can open the machines and remove-replace the hard drives without voiding any warranties, correct?
    Thanks so much in advance for your help and advice!

    I am on the phone right now with a product specialist about my iMac G5 power supply issues. Kind of ***** because he has, in so many words, said that the Genius is the Alpha and Omega and can extend the 3 year coverage. For me that is great except that the Apple store is over an hour away. I don't understand why the dude on the phone can't pull the switch and make it happen as well.
    Factor in:
    Unplugging iMac G5 and all peripherals
    Loading it in the car
    Driving an hour
    Carrying it into the Mall (apple store)
    Waiting for my Genius appointment
    More than likely getting it fixed for free (from the sounds of things)
    Driving back after it is fixed
    Doing everything listed in reverse.
    Would it just be easier to pay the $108 for a new power supply, wait a few days, undo some screws, and BAM! it works again?
    Update. Off the phone now. The product specialist flexed his muscles, back handed the Genius to gain authority, and basically stated that they WILL DEFINITELY repair either the power supply or the logic board or both if needed. I have already had them replace the logic board once. BUT, I still have to load it up and take it to the Apple Store. Boo.

  • Hi i have iMac G5 Power PC with dead logic board,when i turn it on screen is dead. Is it possible to recover data off it by hooking up via firewire to my newer G5 3.06Ghz with IntelCore

    Kia ora, hi i have an older (2003 or 4) iMac G5 Power PC 2GHZ - when i turn it on the screen stays dead but the light below screen comes on & i can hear fan (after a few mins on the fan gets noisy).I think the logic board may be dead & can not afford new one & I would like to recover some files & stuff from it and have heard you can recover stuff using a firewire cable so i got cable (firewire 400 to 800) but i am unsure how exactly to do it.
    Can anyone out there please explain how i might do it
    Thankyou very much
    ps my first post on mac forums so hope i got it right

    You can remove the hard drive from the iMac and put it in an external enclosure.  You could try using Target Disk Mode to transfer data.  Click on the blue link to get the instructions on how to transfer the data.

  • Does anyone know where I can get a replacement keyboard for my imac G5 power PC purchased in December 2005

    Does anyone know where in the UK or Ireland I can get a replacement keyboard for my imac G5 power PC purchased in December 2005. Running Mac OSX 10.4.1.1?

    Not sure where in Ireland to look, but be aware that SOME Apple Aluminum boards will work with 10.4.11. The first Al boards and those through the first few months of 2011 were compatible with any Mac running OS 10.4.11 and having USB ports. Then they changed them to require 10.6.8 for full function.
    The ones compatible with 10.4.11 (MB110LL/A) have the icon for Dashboard on the F4 key; the later ones (MB110LL/B) have an icon consisting of six tiny rectangles grouped to form a larger rectangle. The keyboard boxes are nearly identical except for:
    the system requirements printed on the front panel
    the back panel on the first model reads "Keyboard" where the newer model reads "Keyboard with Numeric Keypad."
    When looking for older parts, always consider a Mac User Group:

  • What amplifier to use on an iMac to power 5.1 speakers?

    what amplifier to use on an iMac to power 5.1 speakers?

    I am flexible, but found the Klipsch below well priced.
    per a previous posting:  "What amplifier, speaker, other do I need to connect my iMac to a 5.1 speakers?
    The iMac is the TV, home theater, sound system, ... of the family.  All I have is the iMac right now, but I saw decent 5.1 speakers from Klipsh and I am now wondering what amplifier or any other component I might need.
    Klipsch HD Theater 1000 5.1-channel Home Theater Speaker System
    I am getting confused with the evolving standards.  I also would like to stay within the $500-600 range.
    Guidance much appreciated."

  • HT3964 Intel-based iMAC. Power, but no video. Tried to reset the SMC, but no luck.

    Intel-based iMAC. Power, but no video. Tried to reset the SMC, but no luck.

    If you have AppleCare on it give them a call. If you have not bought AppleCare yet then I'd strongly suggest it to protect your investment. This will extend the warranty to 3 years and also  provide 3 years of telephone support. You can buy it from any Apple reseller or Apple for $169 or you can find it discounted at  places like Amazon.

  • IMacs G3 power supply compatiblity question

    I have an original Bondi blue iMac G3. Power supply works OK.
    I have a flower power iMac G3 but the power supply is defunct.
    Can I swop the Bondi 's iMac power supply to the flower power iMac?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately the answer is no. I just checked Mactracker & the Bondi Blue iMac uses a 80 watt power supply. The Flower Power iMac uses a 150 watt power supply. So if you tried to use the Bondi Blue iMac's power supply it probably wouldn't provide enough wattage for the iMac to work properly. I would recommend looking on eBay for a replacement power supply. Some vendors might have one or more in stock.

  • IMac wont power up now!

    Hello,
    I just back from the apple store with snow leopard excited to install it on my iMac about 2 hours ago to find my iMac frozen and it wouldnt let me hit the shut down button. So i just hit the power button on the mac and now it wont turn on. I tried to reinstall the OS but when i go to install it, it doesnt even show a hard drive to install it on.
    I still have apple care for it, so does anyone have any suggestions? And, if it is a failed HD will the apple care replace that or would i be better off just buying a new iMac? My iMac is almost 2 years old, i bought it refurbished from apple.com
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    If you have AppleCare, use what you paid extra for...
    if it is a failed HD will the apple care replace that or would i be better off just buying a new iMac?
    If it's covered, it will not cost you anything to get it repaired. So even if you decide to get a new iMac, you should get this one fixed.
    You can try resetting PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    and if that does not help, resetting SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    which is unplugging the iMac from power and reconnecting it following a precise procedure. When you reconnect it, try connecting it by itself to a wall outlet directly, instead of to a power strip with other devices. Disconnect all of your peripheral devices, except for your standard USB mouse and keyboard.
    If that does not get the hard drive to be recognized and working properly, use that AppleCare.

  • IMac wont Power Up

    My iMac has an issue, if all users are logged off after a designated amount of time my iMac powers off but the only way I can restart it is to unplug the power cord from the unit wait a few seconds then reinsert the power cord, only then will it power up.

  • IMac G5 power supply

    I have an iMac G5 that has already been affected (2.5 years ago) by the power supply issue. A few days ago, I was on my iMac, and it turned off and won't turn back on. I called the Apple customer relations line and they told me that I was SOL and its not even a month after the three year marker from the purchase date. I've read on other messages that some people have had Apple replace their power supply for free even after the three years, but they told me that I would have to pay for it myself. Does anyone know how I could get it fixed? If not, what would it cost and is it even worth it? Will the power supply just keep failing?
    -Amanda

    I think it depends entirely on the representative spoken to, the stock available at that particular moment, the chemistry between the the tech and the Apple customer and perhaps the phase of the moon.

  • My imac stops(freezes) everytime when I try to extract ipod nano. So if I quit the connection by force, it stops again. Have no choice but to shut down the imac pushing power supply button. Pls help me solve out this problems.

    It's not good to shut off the power forcibly, right? (I dun know what else I can do...)

    Hi Min! I'm having exactly the same issue - have been putting up with it now for months but have finally had enough! Every single time i eject either my iphone, ipad or ipod nano, itunes freezes up, the computer becomes unresponsive. Usually i can use the mouse to highlight icons but the system doesn't respond, the keyboard doesn't work and I have to do a hard reset.
    Arrrrrggggggh!!!!!!! lol
    Someone please help!!!

  • IMac or Power Mac G5?  Moving from PC to Mac

    I'm a PC user now and am fed up with Windows. I just recently went to a Mac store and am now a changed man. Here's my delemma. I am an amature photographer and love to use Photoshop Elements. I also do a lot of multitasking for my day job and need power. I will be needing to run a proprietary PC program on the Mac since it is what I use every day. I'm hoping it will work. But once I make the decision to move to the Mac, I'm not sure whether I should go with the iMac or the Power Mac G5. If I max out the iMac with the 2 gb of memory, upgrade the HD to max and the graphics card, it's still cheaper than if I start doing upgrades on the Power Mac. I don't need ridiculous power, but I want to make sure that if I max out the options on the iMac that it will handle heavy duty work. I'm leaning more towards the iMac because of it's compact footprint. I would love, however, one day to have a high definition monitor to do my photos on.
    Love to hear some feedback.
    Thanks.
    Mark

    Well, I considered the iMac G5 but was told that the new Intel ones are faster. I'm also concerned that the one PC program I'd like to run on it may be more compatible if I use the iMac Intel. I was also told that Photoshop Elements will be coming out with a version for this Intel chip. If they do, wouldn't the iMac Intel be a better choice?

    MARK.......
    You could buy a new iMac G5!
    That's what I did 2 weeks ago. I went to my Apple
    store and tested out
    both the Intel iMac and the G5 iSight iMac 20' 2.1.
    The G5 iMac is really fast and will definitely do
    everything you want it to
    do and more. Also, current apps will run natively on
    it via PPC. This means
    that there is NO EMULATION PROCESS whatsoever so you
    don't have Rosetta slowing anything down.
    My iMac G5 is by far faster than my Mac Mini and
    faster at running apps until they become universal
    some time this year or next.
    I'm a professional photographer and my G5 iMac is
    awesome! The ONLY real reason you would by a PowerMac
    is for professional video editing. A PowerMac is
    faster at rendering videos and burning them to DVD
    and stuff.
    I decided to stay with a PPC G5 iMac and might
    upgrade next year sometime if really necessary. But
    this G5 will definitely work for me and all I need to
    do for at least a year if not 2 years.
    If you max out a G5 iMac, you'll be more than happy!
