Imac 20" PPC at Costco!

Just saw the Imac 20" PPC Isight at Costco for $1495...The last time I saw an Imac at costco it was the G3 when they dumped...The store was selling them very quickly too!
Imac G5 Rev B 1gig ram   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

The Costco in San Diego at Carmel Mountain had about
12-16 of them last night. I tipped off a friend who
was looking for a Mac. A good deal, especially since
it includes the 3 year AppleCare.
I couldn't justify buying one myself, but I did pick
up a 300 GB Maxtor external drive so I could do
mirror back-ups of my system
The demo had iLife 05. Since these are being sold after iLife 06 was released and Apple ad says they should have iLife 06 will Apple upgrade it for free? Well maybe free after their $10 media charge.
If not I'd put my non-family pack iLife 06 on it license agreement or not. It should have come with it in the first place.

  • Q's-Wiping/Reinstalling iMac G5 PPC (10.4.11) for donation

    My parents recently purchased a new 2012, 21.5” Intel Core i, iMac with OS 10.8 installed. 
    They wish to donate their old iMac G5 ALS PowerPC (20”) computer to a local charity. It came with OS 10.4 installed and they never upgraded, but did install all Tiger updates to 10.4.11.
    Before donation, I want to wipe the hard drive, and then do a clean install of OS 10.4, iWork ’06 and MacFonts2, from their original discs.
    Additional information:
                  > The original RAM (512k) was replaced by 2 - 1 GB cards in Dec ’11.
                    > The OS X discs are as follows:
                          Disc 1 = Mac OS X Install Disc 1              Disc 2 = Mac OS X Install Disc 2
                                       Mac OS ver. 10.4                                     Disc ver. 1.0
                                       AHT ver. 2.5.1                                          2Z691-5493-A
                                       Disc ver. 1.0                                             Includes Mac OS 9.2
               2Z691-5317-A                            
    Because Apple no longer supports the PowerPCs AND Tiger OS 10.4, the only way I could transfer my parents’ files and maintain their original dates, etc. is by plugging a Fire-Wire 9-6 Pin Cable cord into the iMac G5 PPC, and to a Thunderbolt to Fire-Wire adapter, which in turn, was plugged into my 2012 Mac Mini (OS 10.8).  Then by putting the PPC iMac in Target disc mode, I could copy over (almost) all files.
    Unfortunately, figuring this all out took a long time, because my background has been in PC’s since 1984.  I briefly owned an iMac Pro in 2006 before it was stolen from my car. Unfortunately I could not afford to replace it due to a high deductible on my Homeowner’s Policy. 
    When my parents purchased their new iMac, I decided to get a Mac Mini, to help them adjust to the jump from Tiger to Mountain Lion, etc.
    Here are my concerns:
    1.  I was able to copy most of the old folders on the PPC iMac to a “holding” folder on the desktop of my Mac Mini. 
         Then I compared the “Get Info” of the Source file/folder to the Target disc’s file/folder “Get Info”.  Most folders copied over with no differences noted.
    Should I be concerned about those files that would not duplicate?
    How / where can I find out which files are okay, if they aren’t completely duplicated?
              (since I will need some application/system files from the copied files).
                                  Examples of these are:
    System / Library / Frameworks / JavaVM.framework
    System / Library / PrivateFrameworks / Install.Framework / Versions
    System / Library                          Size                            Files
                 Source folder                1,893,633,028                     36,066
                 Target folder                  1,514,639,237            26,653
              Difference                     378,993,791              9,413
          Missing                                                 378,671,851                        9,358  Frameworks / JavaVM.framework
          Missing                                    321,940                   55  PrivateFrameworks/Install.Framework/Versions
                                                                           0                            0          
    2.  How can I install all the Tiger updates from 10.2 thru 10.11, if I cannot do a clean download straight from Apple.com?
    > If I am to copy the updates from the Target disc files that I copied to my Mac Mini, will they be recognized as legal copies? 
    > If so, how do I identify the correct update files to target? (i.e., are they hidden?). 
    > How do I find them in the system folders?
    3.  I don’t want to wipe the hard drive until I know I’ve got the stuff I need to properly reinstall the OS to 10.4.11, afterwards. 
    Somewhere I read that I might need to use a stand-alone installer so I can target specific files in specific areas.
    Can anyone make sense out of all this information? 
    It is probably very telling that I have a PC background with the kind of questions posed above. 
    I have Googled many issues and have called AppleCare on my parents behalf to get to this point.  I think I am close to being able to wipe the iMac G5, but need some answers and MORE importantly, some MORAL SUPPORT!
    Note: my parents will be 80 years old this year, and the new Mac is their 3rd Mac since 1999. 
    They recently learned how to use a first generation iPad that was given to them.  A couple about to celebrate 60 years together and never afraid to learn something new!
    Sorry about the length of this query. I will be on and off the ‘net during the next couple of days, but I will get back to any queries for clarification ASAP. 
    When I’m not working on one of my computers, I volunteer at a local library. THANKS!

    I was so happy returning home to find the reformat phase complete. Now... not so much.
    I am stuck at two different points and don't know at which I SHOULD be, and if once there, what to do in order to get the iMac to copy
         OS X 10.4 Disc 1 onto the harddrive. 
         Note: Research indicates that OS X must be present on the harddrive first/before the accompanying software can be installed from Disc 2.
    Method #1:
    > Inserted Install Disc 1 into the optical drive (built-in side of monitor in a G5 PPC).
    > Pushed power button (Held down no keys).
    > Language choice screen appears first.  Default is English, so I click 'enter.'
    > Window titled "Install Mac OS X" appears.  It also contains the wording "Welcome to the Mac OS X Installer."
              I click "Continue" tab at bottom right of this window.
    > At "Software License Agreement" window, click "Continue" tab at bottom right.
    > Pop-down screen prompts me to AGREE to terms in order to continue installation.
    > "Select a Destination" window shows the harddrive icon to the iMac with a red circle/white exclamation point on it.
    > I click on "harddrive" icon (no explanation for red circle was given at this window).
    > Message shows up on the Select Destination window indicating Mac OS X cannot be installed on this volume AND
              Mac OS X cannot start up from this volume. 
         >> I can either Go Back, quit Installer by clicking on the Startup Disk button, or click Restart. 
    OR
         >> Use options on the Apple Menu bar at top of monitor screen to do the same.  Under Installer, I can select "Quit Installer,"
                        or chose "Startup Disk" from the Utilities dropdown.
         * Restart is self-explanatory.
         * Startup Disk brings a new window titled "Choose Startup Disk."  There are two icon options to select from. 
              1. Disk titled "OS X 10.4 Disc 1." - it's title is highlighted in blue, indicating this has been selected automatically.
              2. Network Startup (but icon has question mark on it).
              Only a "Restart" button is available here. After clicking this button, a popdown asks if I am sure I want to restart the computer
                        using the OS X Disk to boot. i.e., Cancel or Restart.
    Method #2:  (Note: research indicated these are the correct icons/options I should see for PowerPC computers.
    > Inserted Install Disc 1 into the optical drive.
    > Hold the "option"/("alt") key down while pushing the power button on.  Hold key until 4 items show up on screen.
    > The four items are:
              1.  Refresh Icon button
              2.  Square with Disk Icon and "X" on it - titled "Mac OS X Install Disc 1"
              3.  Square with Disk Icon and tiny monitor on it - titled "Apple Hardware Test"
              4.  Right Arrow Icon button
    > Research indicated that the two options here are:
         >> Click the Disk Icon w/ Monitor, followed by the Right Arrow Icon button. (This is to check for possible hardware or software problems).
    OR
         >> Click the Disk Icon w/"X", followed by the Refresh Icon button.
    When I do the second step (X & R), it results in the same results as Method #1.
    Q: What special chant must I say to make the installation disk install onto the iMac's harddrive?
              Note: I did both a Utility Disk Verify on the harddrive AND the Apple Hardware Test (long version), with no problems noted at all!
    Q. I found an archived Q&A on the Tiger 10.4.11 forum that made reference to downloadable instructions for reformatting and reinstalling Tiger.
         But, like several other archived Q&A's, when I clicked on the link, it took me back to Apple's main Support page. 
         I'm guessing because Apple no longer supports Tiger, that all links relating to Tiger are severed.  Are these Archived pages only available to forum      participants whom have achieved high Levels?  The Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update for PPCs link appears to have the very information I looked for      ad nauseum during Jan/Feb/Mar of this year, and never found!

    Thank you once again BDAqua for your timely answer and suggestions.  When I read your reply, the 3-pass was almost 1/3 complete, so I decided to hang in there and wait.  I did do another repair on the harddrive afterwards, and it appears to be fine.   our explanation of the use of solved and helpful feedback was appreciated too.  I dont' want to use them up too soon, and it appears the options stay open until someone selects one.
    Also rccharles I appreciate your suggested software packages that could help with the duplication of the entire harddrive. I did use the Target Disk Made, through Firewire to Thunderbolt with my Mac Mini and most of the folders copied over 100% problem free the first time, but there always seem to be stragglers out there!
    Will tackle this all again in the a.m.

  • IMac. Ppc g5 will not boot up past apple sign

    I have the iMac G5 PPC with 10.5.8 leopard running it. I go to turn it on and I get to the apple sign and the cog wheel and the fan kicks into hyper drive and that's it! What do I do?

    Have you tried booting from your install disc?  Try that and then use
    Disk Utility
       1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
       3. Click the First Aid tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    You can also try booting with the option key held down, or boot holding the s key to boot into single use mode..  Last but not least, try booting into safe mode by holding down the shift key at  startup.

  • IMac G5 PPC screen flicker/shimmer

    This is a new machine, it was delivered yesterday. It's way overkill for my desk but the price was right. I set the resolution to 1344 x 840 and reduced the brightness 20% and shortly after noticed the screen occasionally shimmer. It seemed to happen when I selected an icon on the desktop but I could not actually control it. Has anyone an answer as to why this is happening? Has anyone had a similar experience and how did you deal with it?
    Many thanks

    hey,
    i have had the same problem with a flickering screen my resolution is set at1680x1050. i ran a AHT and it showed all was fine but in the end it needed to have the logic board replaced. a few weeks later the hard drive needed to be replaced as well. i bought this imac in may '05 so it's not even a year old yet. i don't know if the flickering screen corrupted the hard drive. the tech didn't have an answer. if you have apple care have them check it out.

  • IMac G5 PPC Using OS X 10.4.10 & OS X Classic Mode--Can They Work Together?

    I do not have a system folder for OS 9 on my hard drive and an Apple technician said I cannot run OS 9 Classic mode on my computer. However, David Pogue's book "Mac OS X Tiger Edition, The Missing Manual" and many of these Apple discussion posts seem to indicate that running Mac OS 9 on my iMac G5 PPC with OS X 10.4.10 should be possible. Would someone be able to help me? Can I run the Classic mode and, if so, how would I get the necessary stuff into my computer? I still have my original Mac OS X Tiger (includes Xcode 2) Install DVD version 10.4. Thanks!

    Hi, Mark. You may have misunderstood the Apple technician. I hope so, because if he said what you thought he said, he was dead wrong. You can indeed run old OS 9-based applications in Classic mode on your G5, if you use the Classic-support installer you'll find on one of the discs that came with the computer to install a suitable OS 9 System Folder on your hard drive. What you can't do on the G5 is run OS 9 *as an operating system*, without OS X running at all. Classic mode uses a slightly modified version of OS 9 as a sort of super-application or "shell" within which older, non-OSX-native applications can run under OS X.
    Check the "Read before you install" file(s) on your original iMac OS Installer Disc 1 for instructions on installing Classic support from that disc or set of discs.

  • Imac mini ppc version suddenly stopped working

    Hi all,
    my mac mini worked fine until last saturday.
    Since this time my Mac switches off immediately without any recognizable reason.
    I can get him working, if I do the following steps:
    - unplug the mac from the electricity mains, without doing that, the mac starts never again
    - wait some minutes
    - plug the mac mains cable back
    - switch power on, the mac starts again
    Mac remains working until he switches off automatically
    There are no informations in the log files.
    I have also run the hardware diagnostic from disk 1.
    All tests are fine. No hardware problems found. All looks good.
    What can cause the problem ?
    imac mini PPC Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Hi Stefan,
    My first instinct here would be to advise re-setting the P-RAM. In order to do this, follow your procedure of unplugging the mini from the mains and leave it for some time. Once you power up your mini, immediately hold down the keys "OPTION + APPLE + P + R" until you hear the startup chime twice. Once your mini has chimed twice, them P-RAM has successfully been reset and you should be able to use your mac without any problems. I will however, advise that you immediately repair permissions in the disk utility and check your hard drives smart status which can also be found by verifying the hard drive in the disk utility.
    Fingers crossed, everything will work out fine, however if the problem does re-occur then I can not really be of any further assistance and another member of the discussions may well solve your problem in two minutes!
    Hope that I may have been of help

  • Migrating Data from old iMac G5 (PPC) to new iMac QC i7

    I have had an iMac G5 PPC for about 6 years. The logic board just died about 2 weeks ago.
    I am about to purchase a new 27" iMac Quad-core i7 machine, and I am wondering what is the best way to migrate data from the old machine to the new one.
    I have a few different questions...
    I use SuperDuper! to backup, so I do have a full copy of my hard drive on an external drive. But the data is about 2 weeks older than the hard drive on my G5 (meaning, I backed up about 2 weeks before the machine died, so there is data on there that I'd love to retrieve). I understand that I can pull the hard drive out of the iMac G5 and buy a cable to attach it to the new machine. I also understand that I can attach my external drive (with the SuperDuper! copy of my hard drive) to the new iMac, too, and run Migration Assistant (or Set Up Assistant) to transfer data.
    However, I have heard that it is not good to do a straight migration from a Power PC to an Intel machine.
    Is that true?
    I would ideally like to transfer all my email (tens of thousands of them), my iPhoto library, my iTunes library, iCal, many many documents, and some other random stuff.
    What do you recommend?
    Should I do an automatic migration using Set Up Assistant and my external hard drive with the SuperDuper copy?
    Should I (and can I?) do an automatic migration with the hard drive that I pull from the old machine?
    Or should I (can I?) do a manual migration whereby I only copy the folders/files/libraries that I really want, and avoid clogging up the new machine with PowerPC apps, etc., that the new (Intel) iMac might not like?
    This last one seems like the ideal choice, but I am not sure...and I don't know exactly how to go about that process.
    Apologies for the long post, and many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
    Best,
    Matt

    automatic migration works well for most people but problems are possible both because of architecture and system differences.
    I would ideally like to transfer all my email (tens of thousands of them), my iPhoto library, my iTunes library, iCal, many many documents, and some other random stuff.
    What do you recommend?
    you can try automatic migration first. if you are worried about possible problems you can choose to migrate user data only but no applications. this should reduce the likelihood of conflicts. but if you run into problems you can always erase and install and do manual migration. since you have a superduper backup this option is not going away and is always available.
    see this link on how to go about that

  • Does anyone know what the second button is for on the logic board of an iMac G5 (PPC), 1st generation ?

    One button on the logic board of a 1st generation iMac G5 (PPC) is an alternate power button. Does anyone know what the purpose of the other button is?

    I am far from certain but I believe it is the power management unit (PMU) reset switch a/k/a Cuda switch: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1939
    Do not press it when the computer is on.

  • IMac G4 PPC, what kind of memory do I need?

    I've looked everywhere, but I haven't found anything that screams "This is clearly the exact thing you need, doofus".

    (The only other slot is "DIMM0/J22", and all it says is "Empty".  I'm just assuming that's the one I'm trying to get memory for.)
    For the past since forever, I've been trying to find some memory I can add to it, because it's showing its age.  I love this computer, and I want to get as much out of it as I can.
    The thing is, I can't seem to find the specific type of memory for it anywhere.  And if I have, I sure don't know if it's the right kind.
    I need the biggest possible memory I can put in the slot on the bottom, the one that apparently goes in the "DIMM0/J22" slot, which is the only one out of two that says "empty".
    I've tried a few sites like Crucial, which have a system scanner to help pinpoint your compatibility, but my system doesn't support that application and refuses to run it.
    What kind of memory goes into the user-accessible slot on my machine?
    Can someone please help me out?  I'm sick and tired of that beach ball.

  • Where can I get 1 OS 10.5 Leopard? I have an iMac G5 ppc.

    I am trying to find out where I can get OS 10.5 Leopard. I'm currently running 10.4.11 on an iMac G5 ppc I've had since July 2005. Looks like Leopard is as high as I can go on this machine.

    You could try Apple, but I don't think they have it any more.  If you are in te US, try eBay, but make sure that you get the retail version, which is black with a big X on its face.  Do not buy the grey disks, they are machine specific and will not work.

  • Quicktime help needed - I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed , Quicktime help needed? - I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed?

    I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed, THANKS! Quicktime help needed?

    Thanks for your kind reply Quicktime Kirk!  Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this as well. I have heard that what I need is an older Quicktime Version that allows for saving files, etc. But apple does not support it & I should look elsewhere - hence my appeal on this forum. Also, for some reason, when I try to upgrade to Quicktime Pro my browser  (both Safari & Firefox) quits as I am about to complete my purchase. In any event, the real question is this: would the Quicktime Pro upgrade be compatible with my current system?

  • Please advise - new iMac i7, old iMac G5 PPC, and migration assistant

    I just received my new iMac i7 and am getting ready to use Migration Assistant. However, I have some questions:
    The logic board on my old machine died, so I pulled out the Hard Drive and put it in an enclosure. This is what I will be using to make the Migration.
    My old machine was a PPC, and it was running 10.4.11.
    I have read various posts for and against using MA to transfer files and user data between PPC and Intel machines.
    I was planning on letting MA transfer everything, and going from there.
    Doing it this way, is there really room for MA messing up my new machine?
    I have thousands of emails, 80GB of music, 5000 photos, tons of bookmarks, and lots of documents that I'd like to transfer.
    I would like NOT to do a manual migration.
    Can I safely use MA?
    Thanks for all help and advice!

    Users migrates files in your user home folder. This is the folder named as your user account short name and has the house icon if you are logged into that user account. So as long as your user files such as Music files, Word documents, etc. are stored in that user home folder, they will be migrated. If you created a folder structure outside the user home folder for some reason, selecting Users will not migrate those folders (because they are not located in your user home folder).
    Applications will migrate things in the Applications folder (minus Apple's apps that are already installed). It probably also transfers application-related files at other locations, based on what Migration Assistant knows about and is scripted to do.
    Settings will transfer settings from the old Mac to the new Mac, such as hardware and network settings. This is not user data. Since your old Mac is PowerPC, you should set up your Intel iMac independently.
    +Other files and folders...+ will transfer files and folders outside your user home folder that Migration Assistant treats as potentially being or having user data. For example, if you had folder called Stuff at the top level of old Macs hard drive volume, that would get transferred. As long as your user data is stored in your user home folder (the house icon), all this will do is transfer random things you do not need cluttering your new iMac. If you know of something that was not stored in your user home folder that did not get transferred, since your old iMac's hard drive is connected as an external drive, you can just use Finder to locate and copy over that something manually.

    Hi there, I most often find this happens on a Wifi/Airport connection & is a bad download.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Is this the one you're trying?
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

  • ITunes for iMac G5 PPC...beyond 4.7.1?

    I'm working with my iMac PPC G5, PowerMac8,2, 2 GHz machine running OS X 10.4.11, and find I can't access the iTunes store while running iTunes software 4.7.1. My software updater tells me there are no new updates for my computer, so I'm trying to figure out if that version is the last one that will run on this machine.
    It's a little frustrating to not be able to upgrade iTunes to a version useable with the store, but I just wanted to confirm that there's not some updating problem that could be fixed to get me back with the more recent versions.
    I would appreciate any ideas about this problem.
    TCC

    Thanks for this idea. I've tried it, and here are the two things that happened as a result.
    I downloaded and installed the new iTunes version you suggested. When it was installed and I tried to open the iTunes store, I first received the following message: "Your request could not be completed. The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store." Then the computer, which has been having some difficulties with unexpected shut downs (see my other question at https://discussions.apple.com/message/20777448#20777448 ) shut down and wouldn't restart for maybe eight hours or so.
    Finally, I got the computer to start up again, and when I did and managed to get iTunes open, I received the same message. I checked my date and time and time zone, all are as they should be. My music is in the new iTunes...no problem there. But I still can't access the store.
    What's next? Any ideas?
