I have an older Power Mac G5 running 10.4 11. When I open Keychain it is locked and won't open on restart or when I use my administrator password
I have an older Power Mac G5 running 10.4 11. Key chain seems to have locked itself ? When I go to open Keychain it is locked and won't open on restart or when I use my administrator password. I thought the keychain password was the administrator's password and that it would open on restart. If this isn't correct, how can I open Keychain ?
Click here and follow the instructions.

I have an older Power Mac desktop computer. I do not believe it has the hardware to connect wirelessly to my wireless network. The computer is located on the 2nd floor of my house where there are no ethernet network connections so I would have to use wireless to connect to the internet. I have a wireless LinkSys router downstairs that I use to create my wireless network. I also have a Time Capsule upstairs but without the ability to plug an ethernet network cable into it, I cannot use it to get internet access t the computer.
What hardware can I add to give me the abiity to connect the Power Mac to my wireless network?
Is there a way perhaps to link routers? IE. Can I somehow have my existing wireless router downstairs connect wirelessly with the Time Capsule upstairs that i could then plug the Power Mac into for connectivity?
Not sure what version of OS this computer is currently using but do know it does not have the newer dual Intel processors. As such I am unable to update to newer OS versions.While uselessSABOTAGE's advice is great, in case of future issues, it would helps us in the future if you would post accurate tech specs of your model iMac.
You info states you have an older IMac PowerMac, but is also says your OS X version is OS X 10.7.2.
This is not possible. OS X 10.7.2 Lion only runs on Intel CPU Macs.
Please, go up to the Apple symbol in the upper top left of OS X main menu bar. Click the symbol. Then click About this Mac. A popup window appears that gives some basic info. Then, click the More Info button and both post your iMacs complete specs by selecting/highlighting all of the info and copy paste this into a reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number. Then update the info you posted in your user profile with some of this new found data for future postings. -
I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.
Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
G5 PCIe options are listed here:

HI, might help if we knew which model...
If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

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.

I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/ I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go. I am unable to use the cloud. I used to have a Mobileme account and used it when I traveled to foreign countries yo read email. I do not know how to acess my email when traveling now. My email address is through mac.com. Please advise as there must be a way. We are traveling to South America soon for about a month and I need to know how to access my email from afar.
Thanks!Hi Margaret,
I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/ I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.
I think you updated to Leopard/10.5.x, Snow Leopard/10.6 is Intel only.
Actually you're in luck, you can still use iCloud for eMail on PPC using 10.4.11 or 10.5.8, but it must be IMAP, not POP...
iCloud Mail setup...
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
One secret I think is when setting it up don't choose the .me/.mac type, it'll auto fill in .mac as the server which won't work, go back afterwards & change the servers. -
I have a Power Mac G4 running Tiger that will not open Classic 9.1
I have an old Power Mac G4 Running OSX 10.4.11 that would run Classic 9.1. I haven't used the computer in a long time, but am trying now, and Classic will not start. I get no alerts, besides one that says "You have Mac OS 9.1 Installed. It's recommended that you upgrade to Mac OS 9.2" With "OK" as the only option. Afterwards it just goes to the start up screen for Classic and the blue bar doesn't move, but flickers. I have tried restarting, and all extensions are off. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions??
You'll need to copy these files onto your computer in Mac OS 9 to be able to extract the 9.2.1 update, install it, and then the 9.2.2 update and install it:

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?
Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

I have a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8. What is the most recent version of iMovie HD that can run on this Mac?
iMovie 05 and 06 are sometimes referred to as iMovie HD. iMovie 08 and newer aren't.

Hello:
Here's what I hope to do. I want to be able to transfer photos from an Eye-Fi card in a digital camera to my oldish Power Mac G4 running 10.5.8. I don't have wi-fi capability in the computer now but was hoping that I can buy a card to give the machine this capability? Anyone know what I should be looking to buy?
Sincerely:
MichaelThere's always one of these if your running 10.5.8...

I have my original Power Mac Pro G5 7,3
I have replaced the older Power Mac Pro G5 with a new Mac Pro in 2010, I don't have a know use for the old Mac Pro, any suggestions? Can I sell it? or use it in some creative way, I also have a Macbook Pro which I use while traveling, to keep up on my iPhoto 7 iMovie hobby, I am organizing over 100,000 photos from my family and many travels and am producing both movies for my family and picture books.
Confusing PowerMac 7.3 with Mac Pro (1,1 thru 5,1)
Power = G5 / PowerPC IBM cpus
Mac Pro = Intel Xeon cpus
Check the PowerMac forum for more ideas.

I need to buy an older version mac to run OS9
I need to buy an older version mac to run OS9 for a program,
What would be a good option?
ThanksPerhaps the PowerBook G4 (1GHz or 867MHz) model portable Mac, which appears
to have similar OS 9.2 and OS X 10 support as some Quicksilver towers, to a degree.
M8858LL/A (867 MHz) or M8859LL/A (1.0 GHz) later: Mac OS X 10.2.3 and Mac OS 9.2.2
The towers are superior; upgradeable in hard drives, optical drives, RAM & Graphics.
These can do more, and with separate hard drives, they can support several OSs.
OS X 10.5.8 and Before, and Classic with OS X 10.4.11; and boot OS 9.2.2 with the
original install software shipped with the computer.
For comparing specifications and update information, see http://everymac.com and/or
get information (download database) from http://mactracker.ca and there was some
information in Apple Support hardware specifications for older computer models.
Some resellers specialize in vintage computers and a few better companies repair
them for a living; so they can offer a limited guaranty and offer better goods. I've
heard good reports on http://wegenermedia.com about their service & inventory; as
an authorized service agent, they also can repair newer hardware under warranty.
{However, be sure the computer you want has the correct original software discs
included with the sale, if you hope to run OS9.2.2 and OS X 10.2 or later, in it.
The software is very hard to find separately, and many sellers do not include it.}
Maybe a portable Mac can be located to perform the tasks you need, but the ideal
could be a tower computer; for overall value of cost vs. benefit, by the numbers...
But that may be a personal call, and not necessarily objective.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade. I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5. On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
