IMac Crt trayloading 333hz - is this a good upgrading plan?

I've been suffering through Netscape 7.0 becuase that's what's available for OS9.2 Time to move on up.
My primary machine is a 333hz G3 trayloading iMac with the RAM maxed out at 512mg. I have updated the firmware so OS X may be installed.
I have networked it with a 266 and will back up the entire drive onto the 266.
Here are my questions.
1-I bought a set of used 10.3.9 disks but found out they are DVD. Is there anyway to transfer this to CD so I can install them on my 333hz machine? I have access to a CD/DVD/RW but when I open up the DVD all I see are aliases.
2- If I can't use the 10.3 DVD I also have 10.2 on CD and will use that instead. Did it come with Safari?
3- Since OS X uses mush more RAM (but I'll probably trim it down as much as I can) and the machine only has a 6gb drive I figured I'd use an 40-80gb external drive to hold my files and use the machine's drive for the OS and applications. Will that work OK?
4- The OS X machine will be primarily used so I can use either Safari or Firefox for the internet. I will still have my 266 machine running 9.2 and many older apps. Can I network a machine that uses 9.2 with one that's using OS X?
5- Concerning external drives, do they connect with the ethernet port or USB? I have an etheret hub, I'd like to actaully network the two iMacs (one running 9.2 and the other running OS X) and the external drive. Will this work? Can I add a burner?
Thanks for any help you may offer with this grand scheme

Thanks for any help you may offer with this grand scheme.
My personal assessment of this grand scheme is that it is not cost effective. Since the days of iMac 333, the Mac hardware has gotten a lot cheaper, and upgrades for kit that is more than 5 years old is becoming increasingly hard to find. I suggest a new Mac Mini.
3- Since OS X uses mush more RAM (but I'll probably trim it down as much as I can) and the machine only has a 6gb drive I figured I'd use an 40-80gb external drive to hold my files and use the machine's drive for the OS and applications. Will that work OK?
OS X 10.2 or 10.3 will run smoothly on the 512MB of RAM that you have, but everything will be noticably slow because of your slow processor speed (G3/333). Particularly your slow memory bus (PC66) is going to be a constraint because OS X draws a lot of its visual elements from the system memory.
You will be much better off putting the 40-80 GB (7200 RPM) drive inside the machine if that is the drive you are going to use. It will be faster, and cheaper, and generally more stable. Compared to your 6GB 5400 RPM drive, it'll feel a little faster. But your constraint is the ATA-33 IDE bus (33MHz) inside the iMac. Another reason to upgrade. The current ATA buses are running at 133MHz and the faster Serial ATA are now up to 150 MHz.
4- Can I network a machine that uses 9.2 with one that's using OS X?
Yes.
Your upgrades (like burner, new hard drive, the time you spend messing with it, etc.) will be much more expensive than a $599 Mini. The Mini comes with an intel processor, lots more RAM, and a much faster bus on almost every single component. (667 MHz frontside bus versus 66 MHz; a 1.5GHz processor versus 333 MHz; a burner; a DVD drive; Gigabit ethernet versis 10Mbps ethernet...) The list goes on. It's time to buy a new machine.

  • IMac CRT dead, buy G4?

    Dear all,
    Now that my iMac CRT is dead, I'm thinking about getting a refurbished mac. Does anyone have any advice about G4s vs eMacs? I don't do anything more elaborate than surfing, AIM and iTunes. I'll be new to OS X.
    Thanks
    Irene

    Hey iMac,
    Does anyone have any advice about G4s vs eMacs? I don't do anything more elaborate than surfing, AIM and iTunes. I'll be new to OS X.
    Well the eMac CRTs are VERY heavy but I always thought the picture was very good. I'd avoid the first one, 700, it had the IVAD problem. The 800s and above are nice machines. There was a power supply recall on the 1 and 1.25 GHz machines and this can work to your advantage. I picked up a 1.25 for $50 that was very slow and would freeze up all the time. Turns out it was in the serial # range and Apple fixed it for free.
    As to the iMac G4s I like the 17" 800s I think that monitor is very nice and compared to the 15" they're way better. My wife has been using one for 5 months now.
    They're a little hard to get since people love the way they look so they're really in high demand. I just got one for $100 that had a bad hard drive and the lady said she didn't believe the response she got on Craig's.

  • IMac CRT slot loader doesn't get past apple symbol at startup

    I've got an old iMac CRT, 600mhz slot loader that I want to give away to a friend.
    I've lent it to a couple of people in it's life (I now have a different computer), and I can't find the system disks.
    The computer had Panther installed on it (can't find those disks either - can't remember how I even got Panther on to it) and was working fine. I deleted all the old users off it to just have my friend's user ID. So technically, there was nothing personal on the computer, just a bunch of applications. However, out of the 40 gigs of HD space, it was telling me that there was only 9 available, which I found strange.
    Anyway, while I was installing Adobe CS on it, just before it was finished I tried to find out where all the HD space was being used. So I opened the Applications folder and did Apple-I to get info. When the dialogue window opened, it said it was calculating folder size.
    As this was happening while I was also installing CS, I didn't worry about it, just thought it would complete after installation was finished. However, this didn't happen, and I found that not only did the folder size not get calculated, the whole computer had frozen. Not even a force quit would do anything, it was like an old fashioned system 9 crash.
    So I forced shut down and tried to start up again. So now it won't get past the OS X grey apple screen. Not even the spinning dial appears and you just see the apple icon for eternity. Have tried zapping PRAM, holding down option key, shift key. Nothing works.
    So I'm wondering: what do I need to do to get it to work? Do I need the system disks? Or is there some other way to fix this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lachlan

    My guess is that you are going to need System disks available here.
    Good luck. These things get really frustrating.

  • HT4621 can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

    can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

    As the others have said, this is a really chancey thing to do...there have been several users on here during the past few weeks with questions about using out-of-spec ram...most had trouble with it.  Macs will sometimes accept higher spec memory, sometimes they will not.  Corsair has been getting some very good comments lately but that is from those using in-spec memory.
    Best solution is the correct memory.  And as noonday recommended, Crucial and OWC are very good and stock the correct ram.

  • IMAC CRT serious firmware issues dude . . .

    I was attempting to update my old iMAC CRT to OS 9, and was given the standard "firmware needs to be updated message". In trying to update the firmware, my screen went grey with the following message:
    "Bootr, unknown word
    failed to boot
    Apple iMAC firmware 3.0 f3"
    I've tried rebooting with the startup OS9 disk. I've tried zapping the PRAM. I tried booting with the Techtool deluxe to no avail.
    I'm thinking is that it's the PRAM battery that needs replacing? Any chance someone out in "MACLand" can provide some helpful advice. Thanks in advance for any assistance in advance!

    Based on the firmware number, this iMac G3 sounds like a tray-loader. Here is some information about the firmware.
    http://www.avnr55.dsl.pipex.com/dotcom/panthereatsimac/tray.htm
    Resetting PRAM would be the first thing to try, but you said you already did that...
    If you suspect the battery may be weak or dead, you can try removing it and starting up. Some people have reported that it did not work with bad battery in place, but it did start up with it removed; obviously, the PRAM settings will be lost when the iMac shuts down.
    If that does not work, you can also try pressing the CUDA button on the motherboard. For tray-loaders, it is located here.
    http://mrjcd.com/junk/CUDA.jpg
    Note: ONLY PRESS IT ONE TIME between startup attempts.
    The only time I needed to use the CUDA button was when the iMac was completely unresponsive to the power button. If you are getting power, pressing it may not help. But I cannot think of anything else.

  • Networking iMac intel(OSX4.4), iMac CRT(OS9.2), printer, scanner, and cable

    I am trying to set up a network with my new iMac Core Duo and my old iMac CRT and a printer and a scanner. I want the printer and scanner to work with both computers, and for the Core Duo to be the one connected with the internet via cable. (My ISP will only allow one computer to be connected.) I also want the two computers to be able to work with each other's files. The Core Duo has OSX 4.4 and the iMac CRT has OS 9.2. Previously, I had two iMac CRT's working on a network as just described. I was using a 5 port hub.
    Now, my question is: Can this be done? I have tried everything I could think of, but have had no luck. I can get one or the other computer to work the internet, which is fine, but I can't get them to talk to one another. At one time I managed to get the iMac CRT's icon to appear of the Core Duo's desktop, and could pass stuff one direction, but I could not get the Core Duo's icon to appear on the CRT's desktop.
    Another problem: Each computer has a single Ethernet port so I can't tie them together directly and still access the modem. Can I tie the stuff together using Ethernet cables? There are plenty of Ethernet ports available.
    Is there some website I can go to to get educated about this?
    This is the longest question I have seen on this discussion forum!
    iMac iintel,iMac CRT   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   also, OS9.2

    Sounds like you need a router. Connect the modem and the Macs to the router so both of your machines have internet access. The modem will assign a single IP to the router and then the router will assign IPs to the Macs. You can also connect the printer to the router so both machines have access. I'm not sure about the scanner though as I've never seen one with ethernet connections.

  • Looking at using apple TV to assist with photo editing on my MB Pro, is this a good idea?

    I have a mac book pro 13 (2011) I am looking at using the Apple TV to display my MBP to my TV for photo editing, anyone able to let me know if they either have done this before, good or bad, or if you think it would work if you have not tried it yourself. Will also be using it for TV etc not just editing.
    Thank you in advance.
    Currently have Lightroom 5 and PS CC for editing etc.

    So you plan to mirror the MBP's display via the Apple TV to your TV and edit off that image?
    Right off the bat I can see problems with color calibration between the MBP's display and the TV.  I edit in Aperture and while the images when displayed on my TV vi Apple TV look ok they are not exactly the same as they appear on the iMac.
    So I guess it depends on what you plan to do with the images once you have edited them. Is there any printing involved? That brings in another whole layer of complexity.
    For sharing on the web and with family and friends it should be Ok, for anything more professional you'll need to get everything calibrated.

  • Fixing iMac(CRT) firmware/OS X problems

    b I didn’t update the firmware on my iMac before trying to install OS X 10.2 or higher on a slot-loading iMac. How do I fix resultant bootup or screen problems?
    b Introduction
    This topic is a summary of a fuller article which can be found here. It does not apply to tray-loaders but only to slot-loaders. How to differentiate between models
    The latest firmware for slot-loading iMacs is 4.1.9. If OS X goes anywhere near an iMac with an earlier version then often peculiar screen problems are caused, or the iMac won’t start properly. In most cases it is possible to fix these problems. This topic explains how to do so.
    All users who have installed OS X on a slot-loading iMac should make sure that their firmware is at version 4.1.9. Even if the iMac is working at the moment, problems may arise at any time.
    If you are having problems then
    b do not reset the PRAM
    until the firmware is updated, as doing so can make the problems much worse.
    To fix the problem you simply need to update the firmware. If your iMac is not behaving properly this can be a little tiresome, but usually not impossible.
    b Symptoms
    The symptoms are well known and many users have experienced and overcome them:
    *     S0: OS X installation attempt fails; there may be a message “you need to update the firmware”; the iMac freezes (often with a grey screen); the CD is stuck in the drive
    *     S1: the iMac starts up but the screen is blank
    *     S2: the iMac starts up but the screen is dark and a strange colour
    *     S3: on power on or a restart, the green light comes on but nothing else happens
    *     S4: after the startup chime the iMac turns itself off after 7 – 10 seconds
    b Overcoming the symptoms
    i S0: To get the CD out,
    find the emergency eject button inside the right-hand end of the CD slot. Hold it in with a paperclip during power-on. (NB this then disables the CD drive till next power-off.)
    i To get round S3,
    remove the power cord between reboots.
    i To get round S1,
    after the iMac has booted, briefly press the main power button to send the iMac to sleep. Wait for the button to pulse orange, then press any key on the keyboard. Usually you will now have symptom S2.
    i If you have S2 or S1
    and a 400 MHz iMac or later, there may be a VGA connector under a small panel close to the memory access panel on the back of the iMac. Many PC monitors will work if plugged in here.
    i If you have S4
    then check the suggestions in the full problem solver.
    b Upgrading the firmware
    The firmware resides on the logic board in non-volatile RAM. To install the latest version (4.1.9) and hence fix the iMac’s problems, you first need to boot OS 9.1, or 9.2.x from a local HD. If you have 9.0.x then you can download the 9.1 update from the Apple site.
    Make sure you follow all the installation instructions carefully.
    Once the firmware is installed (but not before), it is often worth doing an additional PRAM reset: on startup, hold down Apl-Opt-P-R and wait for the second chime.
    The most stable version of OS 9 is 9.2.2, so now download and install these updates: 9.2.1 and 9.2.2.
    If you need further help then contact Apple Support, check out the full problem solver, or post a new topic in the Apple Discussions iMac(CRT) Usage forum.
    Thanks to all contributors.

    Giles,
    If OS X goes anywhere near an iMac with an earlier version then often peculiar screen problems are caused, or the iMac won’t start properly.
    You may also want to mention that newer disk utilities such as DiskWarrior can make the iMac boot into Mac OS X, and cause this problem. There have also been a few instances where a user did not believe it was the firmware because they did not install Mac OS X, only boot from it.
    (NB this then disables the CD drive till next power-off.)
    Could you please fill me in - what does NB stand for?
    You may also want to include some sort of disclaimer, that the problem can vary, and is not guaranteed to work for everyone, etc.
    Its excellent overall. And, you're not even a full Mac user, which has to make things harder.
    Kyle-

  • Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board.  READ ME

    Hi all. Well first off, let me start by saying that my whole life I've owned PC's. And I'm not hacker Elliet. But I've gotten to know them pretty well. All the way from Windows 3.1 that came out a long time ago (more than 10 years ago)
    So after a while of hearing about MAC's I decided to start small and get an iPod (since they are so popular here in NYC) and see what apple was about. Well I really saw that Apple had a great product and started asking about their computers. And did plenty of research. And before the new Intel Macs came out, I was going to get a powerbook. But I had a feeling a new laptop was coming out and waited a lil while and sure enough. The Macbook Pro came out. So I went out and did all my research (as to this being the first real purchase of a Apple product and knew about the possible implications of a new first gen Intel chip in a apple product litterally making history) I knew I might become a new beta tester.
    So I started looking on these boards and did 2 weeks worth of hard research to see if the Mac Book Pro (MBP) was for me. And after all the problems i saw (ex: The whine, Right speaker distortion, heat coming from it, white line at bottom of screen, etc) I never saw or read anything about AOL connectivity problems. And I know, I know... alot of you are probably going to gripe and complain about AOL sucking and yada yada yada, but please. Cut me some slack. I actually like AOL. I got on it back in 92 when it came out, and really enjoyed it. And have been on it since. I like chatting on there, and so forth. And I hope you help with my problem instead of telling me to go get "a real ISP" I do have a real ISP, but I like my AOL too.
    So now to my problem....
    I have a Sony Viao 1.8ghz PC with 512 ram, 80 gig hard drive, 10/100 ethernet port. Connected to a Belkin Router (more info below on specs of router) connected to Opt Online Broadband Cable internet with VoIP. I use my macbook pro on the wireless network at my home.
    I got a mac book pro 1.83 ghz running 512 ram on Tiger OSX 10.4.6 I thought that I would wait till a connectivity patch (which I thought would have been 10.4.6) fix the airport problems came out till I posted something. But now that I've tried everything, I'm hoping you open this thread and help me and possibly someone else out there as well. I just d/l'd and installed the 10.4.6 update last night and it did'nt help. So here's more info on my specs. I have a belkin router wireless G 2.4 ghz 54mbs router and I have configured the router with it's firewall, wap2 encryption (as it's the only selection the router has that is available that matches what airport comes with in encryption) I hid my network, and have tried to upgrade the firmware on the router.
    Now Here's the real problem. I can connect to AOL on my MBP when I connect the actual ethernet cable to the MBP's Ethernet port (after I have let the cable modem do a hard reset to configure itself to a mac) I can connect to AOL. But when I disconnect the cable and return it to it's normal config, I can't connect to AOL. I can connect to the internet via safari, and firefox, and even AOL's IM on iChat. I can use Itunes all kinds of things. I can even play warcraft 3 wirelessly on battlenet. But connecting to AOL is a pain in the @$$. It's the only proggy I have that won't allow it to connect. I keep getting the error message "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." Of course All i see for a while is the spinning black and white circle. And it goes through step 1 and 2, goes straight to 6. Then it goes blank, and BAM! That message pops up. And what's so frustrating is that I've tried every possible configuration on AOL, my router and even system preferences, for it to let connect. I even went into system preferences on the mac and went down the the Internet & Network "Sharing" icon and tried 100 possible combinations on that in the services tab, and firewall tab. I've turned them on, off, tried to make exceptions ETC. And no matter how much I play with the personal file sharing and windows sharing advanced settings and sigh every possible combination to make AOL connect via wirelessly. And nothing. I then even tried to fix the connection under AOL in setup. I've gone through and selected TCP Script, Airport Script. Cable Script, And practically every script I can think of. And nothing. I even went on to AOL and downloaded thier alleged fix to wireless accessing AOL. And nothing. I've been searching all over google, AOL's website, and all over these discussion boards and no mention of anyone even having the same problem. But please, someone out there with their infinit knowledge of how Macs run and having more experience than me, Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board anywhere reguarding a mac. A MBP at that too.
    An update to this, But amazingly enough, I actually got it to connect to AOL wirelessly for the first time yest. But I have no Idea how i did it. I tried for 3 hours to reproduce it and no luck. I was accessing my router at it's website config screen and somehow I clicked on connect to AOL and while it was trying to connect to it, i reset the router and BAM, it connected to AOL. And I was in shock. I thought I solved it. Somewhere while it was reseting the router it connected and stayed connected to AOL till I signed off and tried to sign back on to see if I could now connect, and guess what. The same dumb message keeps popping up "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." And all I did was sign off to test it, thinking I had fixed the problem. I tried for 3 hours like I stated above, and BAM got it connected to AOL wirelessly again (somehow while the router was resetting). And thinking I fixed it, or figured out the trick to getting it to work, signed off... I kissed aol goodbye again. And have been unable to reproduce the "glitch". SIGH Can someone out there please help me?
    I think I've made this message as detailed as possible, but please, can someone give me some constructive criticism on how to fix my AOL wireless connectivity problems. Do you know if it's my router? My MBP? AOL software? BTW, I got AOL software version 10.3.7 (Rev 4136.310 US) The latest version I D/L'ed from the AOL website. Anyone know If I should turn on or off some things such as personal fire sharing on, or firewall off or on? ANYTHING. Please. I've put alot of time into writing this post and making it as detailed as possible. And been having this problem for the past 3 weeks that I've had my MBP, and have waited long enough to use my AOL. If you need any further information or suggestions on making AOL work, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, and I really appreciate all of you in the time you take in responding back in trying to help me. I'll be monitoring this post almost hourly. So I hope someone out there can help. Thanks so much again. And help me make this transition to Mac a pleasant one knowing that there is a mac community out there willing to help a new mac client. Again, Many thanks

    I FIXED IT!
    FYI for the rest of you that might be having the same problem. DON'T USE A BELKIN ROUTER WITH AOL ON A MBP!!!!! It ***** wirelessly. or even hard connected, it won't connect. I went to best buy today, and got a refund on the belkin. I then went to J&R and got a D-Link router. And now it works perfect. I can now chat on AOL yet again, and I tried all the other web browsers I have and messengers, and warcraft 3 online via battlenet. And it works great. I want to give you guys a special thanks for taking time out to answer back to my post. FYI! Belkin wireless G routers do not connect you to AOL wirelessly on MBP's. No matter how much you mess around on them. I highly recommend a D-Link Router. They are easy to set up as long as you READ ( AND I MEAN IT!!!) read the instructions before you set anything up on it. Use the CD that it comes with, and you'll be good to go. Set it up and it works great Almost no dead zones in the house, and now I can use the MBP with all it's cababilities. Thanks people. I really appreciate it.
    P.S. I called belkin last night when i decided to get a refund on my router for today and when i talked to the tech, after puersuading him to tell me the truth. And stop BS'ing me, he broke down and admited that AOL does not work wirelessly on MBP's. So to make a long story short this time, There you go. And one last note, I'm very happy now with my d-link router. I honestly thought it would suck. Not being a brand name router or anything. But amazingly, it works like a brand name item! Again, many thanks all.

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • Using my iMac CRT as a display

    Can I use my old iMac CRT 600 mHz computer as a display for my MacBook?

    No. By design the video port on the computer is an output only port. It is not intended for input from another computer. What the software does is perform a little magic that enables you to use the screen as a monitor for another computer's video output.

    No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
    Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
    Sorry and good luck,
    Clinton
