I Mac G5 Intel compatability?

Need to know if I Mac G5 Intel will work with Minolta Dimage scan dual III slide scanner?
Thank you

There's no such thing as an iMac G5 Intel, there's a G5 machine, (PPC) and then there are the current line of Intel iMacs.
Have you searched on the Minolta site for a Driver? Or googled "Minolta Dimage scan dual III slide scanner driver"? If there's a driver it will work.

How to use a mac mini intel with 30" cinema display

Arg, I just bought an Apple 30" cinema display to go with my new Mac mini intel, but oops the 30" apple cinema display has to use a dual link dvi card. Anyone know how to get out of this horrible situation without buying another new computer.
Thanks!

If you want to run the LCD at it's high 2560x1600 resolution, then you have absolutely no option whatsoever than to buy a PowerMac or MacBook Pro. Otherwise, you will be able to run the panel at 1280x800 with the Mac mini, which wouldn't make much sense though.

Good catch. I would never have though of that since I eagerly anticipate each chance I get for a clean install.
I much prefer to get a clean start and consciously change the things I need to work - often I find that the defaults really are better and would otherwise be stuck in habit...

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run.

I have a Mac Pro Intel Xeon 3.2 Ghz Quad core (mid 2012) using OSX 10.7.5) and cannot get iDVD to run. I tried 7.0.4 and 7.1.2, both from Apple software update and both crash during "loading themes". I am reluctant to upgrade OSX from 10.7.5 because I do not want to loose Final Cut Express 4.0.1. Apple Care no longer supports iDVD. I want a version if iDVD that supports Chapter markers as in iDVD 7.?.? that i used with my old (now deceased) Apple Power PC Mac Pro.

iDVD 7 should work fine with 10.7.5. Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Mac Mini Intel Core Solo 1,5GHz won't turn on

Hi at all!
I'm in a trouble with a Mac Mini Intel Core Solo-based.
Well, when I connect power cord, after a while, Power LED self-turns on (without powering on the Mac), but Startup Chime isn't played, there aren't no video signals on screen, Optical Drive mechanics isn't initialized and no Hard disk Drive noise is audible.
I can hear only (if I put my ear on Mini's body) a bit Fan Noise (and a bit air flow on the back).
If I stay-pressing power button for 4 seconds, Mac turns off. It I re-press that button, Mac turns on again. Finally, if I long-press the power button, Mac DON'T perform PMU reset (with classical speed flashing of power led, Long beep and Startup Chime).
What can I do to fix this problem?
Thanks very much to all readers!

You're right!
I wrote PMU instead of SMU.....in fact, mine is an Intel-based Mac, and PMU is present only in PowerPC Architecture.... ^_^
Sorry for my expression error.....:)
While I'm writing..... I thought that, in my Self-repairing operations on the Mac Mini, I've also replaced the internal 3V battery (because, with a multimeter, I'd can verify that battery voltage was only 1,75V instead of near 3V). After that, I left Mac turned off for a certain interval of time (I was busy in other personal activities). So, when I turned on again the Mac (after the complete reassembly of the entire computer), the Startup chime was played and the Mac beguns to work.
Is possible that, in the Mini - Intel Core Solo 1,5GHz, a low internal battery can cause problems like in the old dear iMacs G3 ????

Hitachi PJ-TX300 projector and Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo?

My PJ-TX300 projector is hooked up via its PC connector to my Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo, via a DVI to VGA adapter (which came with the Mini from Apple) plugged into the Mac mini. I cannot get a clear screen picture at any resolution: there is always ghosting. Can you advise me?

Ghosting would typically implicate the video cable. Where did you get it? It sounds like you may have a very cheaply constructed VGA cable and a better one is needed.

Dual Powermac G5 vs Mac mini Intel Duo

I'm sure this has been discussed already, but I would some more input on this.
I am looking to upgrade to a faster Mac. I am currently running a G4 1.25 DP with 2Gigs of RAM. It's a fine machine, but I would like to take advantage of some of Apple's more powerful units. Anyway, I am considerering a Dual Processor 2.0 G5 Powermac with about 2.5 to 4gigs of RAM, or my other choice is one of the new Mac mini Intel Core Duo models with RAM maxed and a faster larger HD.
My question is--what machine would give me a better performance running Universal Apps, such as Logic, Soundtrack Pro, ect...? Obviously, the Apples are all going to way of the Intel and I have been hearing great things about the new Intels. The Mac-mini has limited expandabiltiy and one Firewire port, but runs Intel. What to do? I may consider the Imac G5 core duo as well.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Randy

well here' my experience...
i recently sold a dual 1.8 G5 with 2GB RAM. reason being simply to get rid of it while it was still worth something. on top of that, it was really large, loud and put out a ton of heat. i bought the Core Duo mini with a GB of RAM as a sort of temporary machine until the next Intel "Pro" towers come out. i've been using it for about a month now for Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live and Reason and soon my SoudTrack Pro Universal disks will be here as well. i was really concerned that the system would feel slow coming from the G5 but i can totally recommend this machine with confidence as it feel and performs as fast as (and sometimes faster than) by dual G5. i'm talking when using Universal binaries of course. these Intels are fast. the mini is a silent, snappy little machine. there are a few things i miss that will eventually prompt me to buy a tower such as:
limited internal storage options - i believe the largest 7200RPM hard disk you can put in the mini is the 100GB from Seagate. of course, external Firewire and USB storage is always an option.
the limited graphics card could be an issue for some. it doesn't seem to directly affect audio performance but just knowing that it's using your hard RAM is a bit unsettling.
i miss FireWire 800, even though the G5 had serious slow-down issues when writing to fw800.
i miss using two displays.
having said all that; the speed, quietness and cool running temperature of this mini is enough to outweigh any negatives. i notice zero speed decrease from the dual g5 and cost me about a third of the price. it will make a great temporary workstation for me and when the next towers come out it will make a great livingroom entertainment system and perform node duties over gigabit ethernet. don't hesitate. it's a great system.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

Tiger Update Crashes my Mac Mini Intel

I got a new Mac Mini and finally got it going though it was not easy to transfer from my eMac. But I prevailed. Then I made the fatal mistake of updating all that the Software Update software suggested. Now my brand new Mac Mini will not run at all.
REWIND: I tried to update my eMac a couple of weeks ago to Tiger. I did that and ran Software Update and GUESS WHAT? It crashed my eMac so badly I had to reinstall ALL the Panther software.
Did Microsoft buy Apple???

I figured out the problem last night after a week of gnashing, grumping, and general anxiety. Hope this post helps others with a similar problem.
I have a free Lexmark 1150 All-In-One printer attached to my Mac. Apparently Tiger DOES NOT like the Lexmark application that turns off the printer during Restart and Shutdown. The application is in Library/Startupwhatever folder and I just trashed the Lexmarksleep..app (whatever it is named - I'm at work and cannot remember the exact name) and erased it.
Now my Mac Mini is back working like a Mac - PERFECT.

Mac Mini (Intel) Ticking/Clicking Sound

I purchased a new Mac Mini (1.8, 80gb, 1gb, superdrive) about a week ago, and have enjoyed using it ever since, however I recently there is a ticking or clicking sound coming from the unit which sounds to me like it may be the hard disk either starting up, or parking down, this happens intermittently and doesn't seem to follow any strict pattern.
Opening Activity Monitor and viewing the Disk Activity tab reveals that there is usually a small amount of data being written to the hard disk when the ticking occurs, however this is not the case 100% of the time.
The disk appears to be fine according to its S.M.A.R.T. status, however I've had "verified" disks fail on me before, therefore don't really trust the S.M.A.R.T. monitoring.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what this may be?

The drive is actually a Fujitsu.
It's now started clicking again after being left on
over night, I've closed everything and tried running
fs_usage, but could see no distinct pattern when the
sound occurred.
This is happening to me with my 80GB Fujitsu Mac Mini Intel. It started after about two weeks of use. This also happened to my G4 Mini with the stock Seagate drive. My old G4 eventually beat itself to death over the course of a month and I have a feeling this one is going to do the same. My second drive (Toshiba I think) didn't have any problems so it may be that only certain drive models are affected.
I also downloaded and ran fseventer, which again
revealed nothing, when it first clicked after opening
the app it said the machine was writing to Finders
plist file, however nothing registered after this
with subsequent clicks.
Yeah, fs_usage doesn't seem to reveal anything significant either.
I'm still in the dark with this, and have a hard time
believing it to be normal.
I agree, I think there's something wrong with the Mac Mini power controller. My drive mainly does it when it is left running overnight. As soon as I sleep and wake the drive, the noise goes away - to me that suggests a controller just needs reset. I've resorted to sleeping the drive overnight and when I'm out until Apple post a fix for it. The drive head slamming into the mechanical stop is not normal in the same way a train slamming into the mechanical stops at the station is not normal. Some control is being messed up - according to the last site, it is usually caused by the fact that the servo calibration is messed up and cannot properly govern the speed and position of the head assembly on the drive and this is worsened by temperature.

Pm support mac mini intel

Does the sata controller of the mac mini (intel) support PM? so could you put an (by example) addonics 1 to 5 sata converter to the internal sata connector?

Good catch. I would never have though of that since I eagerly anticipate each chance I get for a clean install.

I'm looking For Mac Version intel Base Internet Explorer Browser

I need to Download the Internet Explorer browser so that I can use it to open a web Page from Staples to fill out a Job application Form, Safari and FireFox doesn't support that web page from staples. I am having a Hard time finding the right web site to download Internet Explorer, Does anyone know where I can download a Mac Version Intel Base Internet Explorer version?
Mrs. Trisha Foster

Try changing the User Agent in Safari - enable the Debug menu.
Most web sites, you can tell them how to identify your browser as something other than what it is, just have to log out or reload.
Also, 98% will work with Opera which emulates IE quite well, but not always (I found 2 out of 2000 sites that would not). Another browser to look at: OmniWeb, Camino. I use Firefox 3.1a "TraceMonkey", OmniWeb, Opera (each has its own uses).
IE 5.2.3, I tried it, and it was terrible. It is old, and doesn't support any of today's web sites.
Otherwise, you are faced with running CrossOver Mac, or Windows in Fusion or Parallels, or installing on BootCamp.

There may be a Firefox extension to enable IE features perhaps?

Can't Import Mail From PPC Mac to INTEL Mac

How does one import the mail folders from a PPC G4 system to a new Intel Core Duo system.
1. I've copied the mail folder from the G4 to an external Hard Drive.
2. I then connect the external Hard Drive to the Mac Mini Intel Core Duo.
3. I open MAIL on the Intel system and tell it to import the mailboxes from the external Hard Drive.
4. All of the mailboxes import, but contain no mail.
5. I then quit MAIL and restart it.
6. My IMPORT folder has disappeared and there are no imported folders, and no mail.
7. I've done this 6 times all with the same result.
Help Please. Has anyone successfully transfered mailboxes from PPC system to the new Intel system? If so how?
THX,
X86-1138

Hello all,
Thank you for your help, but I figured it out on my own.
Here is how I did it.
1. If you are moving "Mailboxes" you've created on a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac
you must have the Same Versions of OS X running on each system.
Please note that this is for people who are just setting up there NEW INTEL MAC and wish to transfer "Mailboxes" from the PPC Mac, and can not get the Migration Assistant to work.
If you've already created New "Mailboxes" on the Intel system they may be overwritten/replaced using this process. Resulting in the loss of any newly created "Mailboxes" on the Intel.
2. Be sure you have Tiger updated to the same versions on both systems.
3. On the PPC Mac, go to your Users/(your user name here)/Library/Mail folder.
4. Locate in the Mail folder a folder named "Mailboxes".
5. Copy the "Mailboxes" folder from the PPC Mac to an external hard drive.
6. Eject the hard drive from the PPC Mac and turn off the hard drive.
7. Connect the external hard drive to the Intel Mac and turn on the hard drive.
8. Wait for the external drive to mount.
9. Be sure that the MAIL application is not running on the Intel Mac, then go to Users/(your user name here)/Librery/Mail.
10. Look inside the Mail Folder. Do you see a folder named "Mailboxes"?
11. If yes, see step 13.
12. If no, see step 14.
13. Stop and I will try to post another solution for tranfering "Mailboxes" into an existing "Mailboxes" folder so you don't overwrite or replace your new "Mailboxes"
14. If you don't see a folder named "Mailboxes" in your Mail folder, do the following.
15. Drag and drop the "Mailboxes" folder you copied onto the external drive, into the "Mail" folder on the Intel Mac.
16. After all of the files have been copied to the Intel Mac, Start the MAIL application.
17. All of the "Mailboxes" you copied over should now appear in the "Mailboxes" list under your mail accounts list.
Hope this helps anybody else who has run into this problem.
Regards,
X86-1138

Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) Now have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but won't accept serial number

Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) along with prior Photoshop versions. Now I have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but it won't accept my original serial number (Starts with PSW401, etc.).

I know what you are saying. I had purchased the CS5.5 upgrade, and a week later got the CS6 upgrade. I did this back in 2012. I had a old Mac Power PC which does not allow you to install CS5.5 or CS6 because it was not an intel processor. So even though I had the upgrades I never installed them. I waited until my old MAC died which it did this past weekend. And now that I have a new iMac I tried to install the new software. All of my past upgrades referenced my original Photoshop that was still resident on my old Mac. But since the install no longer has that reference because of the new computer, it will not accept any of my past serial numbers that it needs for the install.
