Hello,
I have a power mac using Tiger so how do I to continue to use mail on my computer?
Please Help. I love using Mail on my G4.
Thank you.
Gaynor Kemmett.
Thank you so much for your outstanding information. Even me - a 52 year old die hard Power Mac G4 Tiger user was able to follow the simple directions and I know have a iCloud account. Yeah!!! Thank you.
Gaynor.

In addition to my iMac, I have a Power Mac G4 (10.4.11 Tiger) which of course is pre-Intel. I can boot up and use for about 5 minutes before the mouse freezes. I believe something is
overheating. What would that be - so I can have repairs done? The machine is the Digital Audio version, M7627LL/A and Serial Number XB******KXQ.
<Edited By Host>Hello USME,
'Tis a common problem on old Macs.
Do as Allan says: open the door and blow out all the dust bunnies. Canned air from Wal-Mart or Radio Shack can be handy (though sort of expensive) especially for blowing through the back of the power supply. A cool Mac is a happy Mac.
Be sure your Mac can breathe. The air intake is on the bottom of the case, so be sure a deep pile rug or too many papers on your desk are not blocking the air supply.
Feel the power supply and the processor with your hand. They should be warm but not hot; if you have to move your hand away, that's too hot!
Check the fan on the power supply, and on the processor if it has one. Take a flashlight and peer in the back of the (Mac) case through the grille; make sure the fan is turning. If it's not, the power supply won't work for long.
Fans are not considered serviceable, though they will succumb to mechanics of determination. A CPU fan is easy and straightforward.
A fan replacement will not cure an already damaged power supply; the PS may already be done for. Used power supplies for a DA are hard to come by, and not especially cheap when found (c.$50). An entire working DA or Quicksilver may often be found for under $100 on eBay, and swapping in your HD is easy and simple... this might be cheaper and more expeditious than repairing an expired DA. Replacing a power supply is fairly easy, but it's a nuisance and requires a 2mm Allen head wrench in addition to the usual #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
In my experience, power supplies and CPUs are about equally likely to fail. There are a few other possibilities, but they are not nearly so common.
Good luck!... Jon -
Can I use my Power Mac G5 Tiger installer on my old G4?
I have a Power Mac G5 that I bought in 2006 and an old Power Mac G4 from 2000 that I gave to my roommate. My G5 came with Tiger and iLife 06. I have since upgraded to Leopard and iLife 08, needless to say, I no longer use any of the software that came with my G5. The old G4 is currently running Panther and I wanted to upgrade it to Tiger using that G5 install disc but it wouldn't let me. Is there a way that I can do it?
See Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?

I have a power mac G3, B&W, 400 Ghz. 1gHz mem. I have installed OS 10, It says I may install OS 9.1 later. I have 9.1 installation and restore disk at my disposal. Which do I use and how can I install updated firmware before installation? I have tried ti install OS 9.1 but I keep getting the error messege "my firmware is out of date". What am I doing wrong. Please help me!
Technically it can't without a special software known as LeopardAssist.
The firmware required is here:
Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White) Firmware Update 1.1
Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White) with SCSI (I could not find, remove any SCSI card before using Tiger or Leopard)
The installer disk must look like:
http://www.thebookyard.com/images/OSX9DISK.jpg
And not say Upgrade, Dropin, a Mac model, or OEM. Once you have 9, you can get 9.0.4, 9.1, and 9.2.2 updates through the iinet link mentioned earlier.
Firmware updates and other OS 9 updates are on the following links for reference, but the iinet is where the downloads are still available.

I have a Power Mac G4 1.25 Ghz 1 GIG Ram, what is the latest OS X I can run?
I have a Power Mac G4 1.25 Ghz 1 GIG Ram, what is the latest OS X I can run? I am currently running Jaquar. Where can you obtain older versions of OS X?
Actually you can run up to Leopard 10.5. It requires a G4 867mHz processor so you are comforatbly over the minimum specs.
That said, I offer two caveats regarding Leopard that may make Tiger 10.4 more appealing:
1) Leopard may want more than 1G RAM. With currently available modules, you can take your Max RAM to 2GB. You can install up to 2GB RAM.
2) If you don't have a video card that supports Core Image, things can be choppy. My 1.25 G4 is a tad sluggish with Leo because I have the original ATI Radeon 9000 64MB VRAM vid card. If you have a Redeon 9600 or higher, you likely have Core Image Support. Use System Profiler to Identify your exact video card. SP is in Applications > Utilities. Select "Graphics/Displays" from SP's "Contents" pane on the left to view the specs of your card in the main pane. It wil tell you if Core Image is supported.
If you can get Leo running fine, it's better in that many programs no longer support 10.4.
Looks like yo uare in the Continental US. Call Apple at 800-MY-APPLE and ask for an operating system specialist. Tell them you need 10.5 to support new hardware. I bought that way in March, and it sounded like they wre going to keep Leo in stock for a whie because of the larger number of olders Macs that can;t run Snow Leopard or Lion.
Be very, very careful of Mac OS software on auction sites. I've seen too many that were improperly described and would not work. Likewise the gray Leopard install disk that came packed with another Mac model won't work.
I just checked--OWC does not list any Apple System software at this time. -

Hi Mary, the other so called "Features" of iClound will not work for like Syncing, but eMail will.
MobileMe & dot Mac will still work last I heard.

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. -

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 POWER MAC G5 AND IT WONT POWER UP.
I have a Power Mac G5 (late 2005). It will not power up.I Have already replaced the PRAM battery and tried hitting the SMU button. Nothing.
Pull the plug from the wall receptacle (the wall receptacle works, right?).
Press the power button (This is to drain builtup charge).
Replug the power cord to the wall receptacle.
Do you hear any clicks?
Press the power button. Still dead?
If you hear two clicks after reconnecting power, the PSU is likely dead.
Using a volt ohm meter (multimeter) you can test the PSU:

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...

(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.
