I need some serious professional help with upgrading my MAC

Hello all here at Apple Discussion,
I have been wanting to upgrade my PowerMac G4 for quite sometime now. I just built two new advanced PCs for my Digital Art and Gaming, but I still need my Mac for all of the Video Editing, and Visual Effects I do. Here are my MACs specs:
PowerMAC G4
-400 Mhz Processor
-512MB Ram (All Slots are filled with mixxed 128MB sticks LOL)
-64MB ATI Video Card (Which I direly want to Upgrade)
-10GB Master Drive, 80GB File storage Drive
etc.
Bascially what I want to do with this machine is Upgrade the **** out of the Processor, Video Card, and buy four 256MB sticks so that my mobo will have the full 1GB it can handle. If someone can tell me in detail exactly what to do and where to go that would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Brandon Reddick

Howdy,
First off I say that you copy your 10GB hard drive to the 80GB by going to Disk Utility and selecting the 80GB hard drive. From there you will have tabs to choose from. Click on Restore. And drag the 10GB into source, and the 80GB into the other field. WARNING: YOU WILL HAVE TO DELETE THE WHOLE 80GB HARD DRIVE, SO I SUGGEST BACKING IT UP BEFORE THE RESTORE.
If you don't want the 10GB hard drive you can leave that in there select it in Disk Utility. From there go to the Erase tab and select the Erase Free Space button to secure that no one can get your personal information. WARNING: YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THIS HARD DRIVE AGAIN IF YOU DO THIS. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE THROWING IT OUT!
Ok so you have an older version, I can tell by the CPU and HD.
Upgrades: CPU- http://daystar-store.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=281 (1.6 dual CPU)
Memory: If I'm right you need SDRAM... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=30200 6&CatId=145 (256mb SDRAM DIMM)
Hard Drive: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=12650 28 (Seagate 250GB Hard Drive)
Video Card: AGP- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=933&Nav= (Choose!)
PCI- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=1603&Nav = (Choose!)
Note: Your computer may not support a dual CPU, you can go to http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13551 to see if your computer is capable. If not Daystar sells a lot of single processors. Also you will need to buy an ATA-133 card so you can use a hard drive larger than 127.86GB. You can get that here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=28053 4&CatId=508
Or if you don't want to spend money on that card you can get an external casing for it. Easy to install and you can boot from it if it's FireWire. If you want to save video on it you'll have to format it to Mac OS Journaled.
Good luck with your expansion!

  • Need Some Brain Storming Help WIth a Long Distance Mail Problem

    I would really appreciate anyones input on this...
    Here's the situation. I'm trying to solve a mail problem for my somewhat elderly Mother. The biggest problem is that she is 3800 miles away from me and nowhere near any sort of help or tech support (Rural Alaska) so I'm trying to sort this out over the phone.
    Anyway, she somehow screwed up her mail. All of a sudden the mail she sends comes from MY account! It shows up in my mailbox as having been sent by me. She is using an iBook G4 that I gave her a year or so ago and I suppose it's possible that somehow my mail account was on there somewhere (?). It's like she accidentally switched users or something.
    I have sent her Email to her normal .Mac email address and it does indeed show up in her mailbox when I check the web mail. She is running Tiger and I'm running Leopard.
    I just can't for the life of me figure out what she would have done and I'm hoping that someone might have an idea. She says that the font sizes all changed as well which leads me to believe that she is indeed using my old settings and mail account.
    Once again, any help really appreciated. I'm heading out of town for a week and she really depends on her email. I'm trying desperately to get this solved before I leave. Thanks!

    It looks like Mail has reset its preferences, including the account settings. What follows is a more thorough explanation that should allow you to determine whether that’s really what happened and what your options would be in that case. I’ll provide the full instructions I usually provide to solve this problem when having direct access to the computer, even though you may find some of them not practical or unnecessary.
    Under some circumstances (e.g. lack of available disk space, filesystem corruption, repeated crashes), Mail may discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all the non-.Mac account settings are lost. If you have a .Mac account, however, that account would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set it up automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings — but may result in a different .Mac account being automatically set up if for some reason the System Preferences > .Mac settings differ from what until then were the Mail account settings...
    What’s the capacity and space available on the startup disk? Take a look at the comments about disk space in the following article, in case they apply to this case:
    Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder (e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down), just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This folder is where all your mail is stored.
    There are at least three ways to restore the account settings:
    (1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
    (2) Set up your mail accounts again (you may want to quit Mail and trash the new com.apple.mail.plist first to start over). If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure some of the Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    (3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, there exists the possibility that com.apple.mail.plist.saved became corrupt, but that often is not the case and the settings can usually be restored by just renaming the file back to com.apple.mail.plist.
    As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • I Need some assistant and HELP with my iPod Touch  soon

    Note: Look up above at the Top to read my Problem that I am having with my iPod Touch.
    Can Someone Please HELP ME with my iPod Touch, I am running out of patience, normally when I do need help here I usually get help and a reply within ONE day, but I have posted my problem YESTERDAY, why isn't there someone not replying to my request?? I am getting 55 views but no replys, isn't there anyone out there that can help me??
    I need HELP to reset my IPod Touch to where I had it when I was able to send emails. (can't send emails anymore from my iPod Touch)
    I want to be able to sync and send my iPod Touch sent emails info. to my Computer email program, does anyone know how to do that?
    PLEASE HELP ME AND REPLY if you can solve my problem ASAP.
    Trisha Foster

    Agreed! If you want help soon, call Apples paid support line. Now while you were waiting for us to slowly get around to answering you, you could have downloaded the manual for the ipod, so that you understood the function of the mail sync options in itunes. Mail sync only copies the settings needed to access your mail servers, from the mail client on your computer, over to the ipod touch. It does not copy any actual mail messages, and does not copy any settings from the ipod back to your mail program. The advanced section is meant to be used if you have messed up the settings on the ipod itself. It will ignore any changes to bookmarks, contacts, or mail settings depending on which you check, and will copy new information to the ipod. So in your case if you are able to access, and send mail correctly from the account on your mac, then clicking on the sync mail account button in itunes as well as the replace info on this ipod whatever in the advanced section should transfer over the correct mail account settings to your ipod.

  • Need some suggestions or help with shopping cart.

    I am looking and searching and searching and looking for a
    good e-commerce package I can use with my future sites as well as a
    current one I am developing. It is a automotive site with multiple
    sizes of parts and accessories, I have opted to use a drop down for
    selecting the size but need to figure out how to incorporate that
    when I do the shopping cart and etc... I have looked at cartweaver
    and cannot afford that right now I am looking for something similar
    to it but cheaper in price if not free...

    I've used Cartweaver and found it rather good. It's one of
    the few that can be licensed so as you can use it on as many sites
    as you want. Most only allow you to use a shopping cart on a single
    site.
    I've used Cartweaver ColdFusion. They also have a PHP and ASP
    version of the software, you'll need to decide what back-end
    technology you want to use: ASP, PHP, ColdFusion. and buy that one.
    I would check with your hosting company and see what back-end
    technology they offer you.

  • I need some serious iTunes help or I'm going to throw my iPod in the pool..

    Okay...here's my problem. I cannot import. There is no import button at all. There is on my husbands computer but not mine. I have repaired iTunes in the add/remove programs and I just uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I'm trying to put my son's CD's on my computer to load on to his Shuffle.
    I did a diagnostic on the Apple help boards and it did say that it did not detect an audio CD but I do have one.
    Any advice? I would be so grateful.
    Silverceladon

    I'm having the same problem. Bought my girlfriend an Ipod for Chistmas and can't import cd's into Itunes to load to the Ipod. The cd doesn't show up at all in Itunes nor does it ask if you want to import the songs. It used to work. Don't know what happened. I ran Itunes diagnostics on my cdrom drive and get an error 263. Sent that to tech support but no response. Let me know if anyone has a solution.

  • Need some serious OOP help...

    I'm trying to create a multilevel staged game where one class, the main class decides which stage to go to next. Using getters and setters, I'm new to this method of programing and the book we have been using this semester in class has been great up until the chapter that tackles object-oriented programming.
    Here is my main class....
    package
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    public class Main extends MovieClip
    private var _titleScreen:TitleScreen;
    private var _stageOne:StageOne;
    private var _stageTwo:StageTwo;

    private var _startButtonStatus:Boolean;
    public function Main()
    init();
    private function init():void
         _titleScreen = new TitleScreen();
         _stageOne = new StageOne();
         _stageTwo = new StageTwo();
         _stageThree = new StageThree();
         _stageFour = new StageFour();
         _stageFive = new StageFive();
         _gameOver = new GameOver();
         // TitleScreen
         _startButtonStatus = false;
         goToTitleScreen();
         //beginGame();
         testLevelStatus();
    private function goToTitleScreen():void
         parent.addChild(_titleScreen);
    public function testLevelStatus():void
         _startButtonStatus = _titleScreen.startButtonStatus;
         if (_startButtonStatus, true)
         parent.addChild(_stageThree);
         parent.removeChild(_titleScreen);
    This is the action script i have for the TitleScreen
    package
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.SimpleButton;
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.ui.Mouse;
    public class TitleScreen extends MovieClip
    private var _main:Main;
    private var _startButtonStatus:Boolean;
    public function TitleScreen()
    addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
    private function onAddedToStage(event:Event):void
    // Initialize properties and...
    // ...Add even listeners
    _main = new Main();
    _startButtonStatus = false;
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, onRemovedFromStage);
    startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onStartButtonClick);
    private function onRemovedFromStage(event:Event):void
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onAddedToStage);
    removeEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, onRemovedFromStage);
    private function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void
    private function onStartButtonClick(event:Event):void
    _startButtonStatus = true;
    public function get startButtonStatus():Boolean
    return _startButtonStatus;
    Sorry if it looks sloppy, I did not see a way to format the code for proper display on these forums.

    Oh by the way this does not produce any game stopping errors but when I click on the start button it does not go to stageThree.

  • Need some advise and help Transferring files one mac to other

    I have created quite a problem for my self and can not seem to get out of it.
    I transferred my system from the G4 to the new Intel IMAC. Ended up with two accounts on the new Intel IMac. Was told to go to user/ and transfer files from one account to the other. Lost all of my files. Can not get the netscape back on with my bookmarks, Safari does not have any of my stored bookmarks, Quicken, Family Reunion are locked. Have done the permission repair. Still messed up.
    To add to this, I than decided to retransfer from G4 to Intel IMAC, but can not establish a target disk using Firewire. Follow the instructions holding T down and the screen comes up saying to reboot or shut down, it will not go to the target mode. And it does not appear that the G4 has a firewire extension now, it did two days ago. Can any one help?

    The Windows drive is probably formatted NTFS which is not natively writable
    by the Mac. It should be formatted as FAT32 to be usable on both.

  • Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

    Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    UPDATE:
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • BdAqua, anyone.. I need some SERIOUS advise here..

    For many of you I have been on these forums for quite sometime and now I am in need of SERIOUS advice. With the acquisition of a Power Mac G5 Quad taking over most of my everyday activities which I do on my mac pro, I am in desperate need of trying to figure out how I can get the best out of my 2009 mac pro of which I worked so hard in making it a 6-core 2010 machine.. Now I am thinking I might have gone overboard, way overboard as I am not making use of the machine and its fullest potential. I don't have really a lot of income coming in right now as I am unemployed, though I am getting a pension and unemployment, but not enough to buy serious applications for taking advantage of the power in my mac pro.
    Can someone advise on how I can get the best out of my 6-core mac pro without having to spend 1000's of dollars on stuff I may or may never ever need? Other than video editing, is there any other way I can get the best out of using my machine for what its intended for? Here is what I currently use my mac pro for, thus far:
    1. Everyday stuff, browsing internet, forums, emailing.
    2. sometimes I will burn two dvds/cd's simultaneously, sometimes not.
    3. Retro gaming though I do have some older modern games I play from time to time.
    4. I had bootcamp installed, but no more as I can do most of the work I need on the OS X platform.
    5. When I ever get dvds, I rip them using handbrake just to take advantage of all my cores, even though mactheripper is much faster and only uses some of the cores.
    As of right now most of the above I do on my newly acquired Power Mac G5 Quad and my mac pro is on the floor, disconnected and not being used. The problem is that I got the mac pro because of its expandability and I realize my BIGGEST MISTAKE here was that it is in no way a consumer type machine, but for many years I have used desktop macs for my purposes and expansion.
    This is my only intel mac, as my PB G4 is being used for my mobile computing and does everything I throw at it, Power Mac G5 does also what I through at it. The G4 Pismo is only used for OS 9 nostalgia to if I ever have a yearn to retro back to the beginning days of OS 9
    Question: With my limited amount of funds, what can I do to get the best out of my Mac Pro?? I don't want to sell it for something cheaper or less, as I really do love the expansion capability of the mac pro and its case for prolonging the system. I don't plan on getting a future mac pro as for what I use it for it certainly would be a waste.
    I know I have been rude to some of you and I know its been a rocky road between all of you on this forum and me, but I am now in a desperate, precarious position.. What really can I use my mac pro for other than using it like my PM G5 Quad? I am starting to also think the Quad is overkill, but nevertheless, I have a love for both Intel and PowerPC. And yes, I plan on getting Lion as I do want my mac pro to keep up with at least software and updates to the OS.
    Thank you!
    Romko

    LOL, I think the G5s are already obsolete & a Legacy Mac as far as Apple is concerned, yet MHz per MHz they can still compete favorably with the right SW.
    >Ok, can the G5 Quad still do good with elementary audio and video software?
    Yes.
    >What do you think? The mac pro makes a good server?
    Oh yes.
    >I do plan on getting Lion when it comes out for my mac pro however.
    I wish I could comment on Lion, but NDA, NDA, NDA.
    >Also, is it true I won't be able to charge an ipod touch with the G5's USB ports?
    No iPods here, but Macs have traditionally been weak in USB amperage, I'd think if all else fails an AC powered USB hub would vertainly cure it.
    >Define obsolete?
    No longer supported by Apple... so what's new?
    Right now Leo/10.5.x is still fairly well supported, but when a new OS hits I expect that to stop.
    BTW, we're not llowed to speculate here, so call that a blind guess!

  • I need some serious help with MPEG Streamclip and iMovie 11

    Hello, everyone!
    I hope that some kind soul here is able to help me. My sister-in-law asked me if I could help her re-edit a video that they made of a conference she gave because she didn't like the way some parts were edited. I oh-so-kindly (and perhaps stupidly) offered to help her out!
    A little background: even though I studied audiovisual communications in college, I leaned (a LOT) towards the audio production part of it and, lately, photography, too. That means that I'm not very good at the whole creating-a-movie-in-iMovie thing, even though I know it's supposed to be easy.
    So, here goes: I have a DVD from her which has the typical TS files for audio and video. I downloaded a program called MPEG Streamclip and then it said I needed to buy the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component so that I could rip the DVD my sister-in-law gave me. I bought the component.
    I've converted, done small, 1-minute tests, of the DVD with MPEG Streamclip to DV and also to MP4 (just in case). I do it, then import them to iMovie 11. I don't edit anything at all, just a test to see how it looks, so I immediately send the project to iDVD to see how it looks. It DOES NOT look good.
    Compared to the DVD she gave me, which looks all smooth (picture-wise), mine has a certain amount (NOT HUGE) of pixelation. I can tell especially because there are some slides that were added to her project, so I can see the pixelated parts around the edges of the letters.
    The DVD she gave me does NOT look HD. In fact, it looks SD (4:3), so I don't believe it's that.
    If anybody here knows about this, what am I doing wrong? Am I not ripping it correctly using MPEG Streamclip? Am I not making the iMovie 11 project right? Am I burning in the "wrong way"?
    If it's the MPEG Streamclip ripping that I'm doing wrong, what are the settings I should be using? What format should I be using so that it is VERY iMovie-friendly?
    I want the final video that I would edit to look exactly as the one she gave me. That IS possible, right?
    For extra information, if needed, I am running a MacBook Pro, 13", i7 with 4 GB of RAM and am running OS 10.6.6. I've been a Mac user since the OS 9 days.
    Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out.
    Serge

    Ok. Got it!!!
    Z, thanks a lot!! Now things don't look pixelated and my test burn looks exactly like the dvd my sister-in-law gave me... except for ONE THING:
    There are these graphics done in I-don't-know-what program with a cube transition. They look like when you do 3D cube transitions in virtual desktop, you know?
    Anyway, HER dvd looks completely smooth when you see these transitions but MY dvd looks... well, not right. It looks a bit like the screen or the letters "tremble" or shake a bit. I hope you can understand what I'm saying.
    I followed your advice to the letter and everything is perfect with the exception of those transitions (because after the transition passes and you see the slide with the writing, it looks completely smooth).
    Do you know of something that I can do to help with this problem?
    Thanks again!

    (PRESENTATION = RO)
    Once again, I am not an expert, so please try to explain it as simple as possible...I know, I am an idiot when it comes to networking issues.
    if you guys need some more information, just let me know!
    Thank you!

    What I mean is that I can get the Instance UP with no problem, but the Connection with the Instance is the problem.

  • Need help with upgrading my browser

    I need help to upgrade my window browser, which I use msn 9. I have java 1.5.02 or higher but won't be able to work with.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    UPDATE:
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
