You didn't indicate whether you have a beige G3 or a Blue & White model.  In the case of the former, you'll be limited to buying/installing a used PSU, whereas a Blue & White G3 can use a modified PC ATX power supply.   You need to buy one with a fan at the rear of the PSU (or 2 fans - front & rear), to create the same direction of airflow as Apple's original.  An ATX PSU with a large fan on its underside is ideal for many PC builds, but not suited for use in a B&W G3.  It's recommended to use an ATX extension cable and modify it, instead of altering the wiring on the actual PSU (for warranty reasons).  You can read about the cable modification under the heading "ATX Power," on this "Accelerate Your Mac" page.

  • I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. Is my info safe??

    I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills.  I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number.  Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
    thanks

    If it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

  • My phone was sitting on the table, with nothing turned on, and all of a sudden it sounds like there is air coming out of my speakers.

    My phone was sitting on the table, with nothing turned on, and all of a sudden it sounds like there is air coming out of my speakers.  It does this for 1 minute straight, then will stop. When I pick it up, then set it back down, it does it again.
    HELP!!!

    No nothing will show up on the screen.. If I push the 'home' center button it continues doing it, same with the sleep/wake button.
    I thinking it may be static out of my speakers --but I don't understand why all of a sudden it is dong this. I have had no problems with this phone, until now.

  • I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?

    I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

  • What is the Difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2? having problems with my stream

    What is the difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2?
    I am having major problems with my live stream, i am currently using FMLE 3.1 and using a Imac computer.
    The stream seems to be delayed by 20mins and keeps on crashing
    I have a 2MB upload speed and frame rate 25.00 and bit rate 800 kbps fromat VP6
    Can anyone help me with getting the settings right and what is the best computer to use to allow FMLE not to crash and stream to run smooth?
    Please Help
    Thank you

    Hello!
    I would be interested in helping you with your question. You are going to need to provide a little more information about your current configuration in order for me to better understand your issue. Until then, I'll do my best to answer your quesitons.
    There are subtle changes from 3.1 to 3.2. Both are stable releases. With your setup, you should be using 3.2.
    Issues with FMLE typically deal with your capture card. The issues you are having sound like a streaming server issue. Stream delayed 20min? This isn't typical behavior. What streaming media server are you usign? FMS or Wowza? Define 'crashing'. Anything in the output log in FMLE or is your server 'crashing'.
    Thank you,

  • If I travel outside the US with an unlocked iphone and use a local SIM will I still receive iMessages sent to my US number when wifi is activated?

    If I travel outside the US with an unlocked iphone and use a local SIM will I still receive iMessages sent to my US number when wifi is activated?

    Ok, one of my problems is that when I arrive it will take me a few weeks to get a social security number and only t-mobile will give me a sim without a ssn - but edge for a few weeks will be better than no iPhone.
    Unless someone out there can suggest an alternative?
