Imovie for G4 Quicksilver 2002 (800 Mhz)

I recently purchased a used G4 quicksilver for my daughter. However, I cannot load imovie 09 on this computer and I'm wondering which older version of imovie will play on this computer. I'm prepared to upgrade the graphics card to 64 mb or 128 mb if it will make a difference.
Thanks

I'd look for iMovie 06, but it's no longer available, so you'll need to look somewhere like ebay.

  • I have a Quicksilver twin 800 mhz and use 4.11. My volumes show a question mark(?) on upper right corner. What is going on ?

    I have a Quicksilver twin 800 mhz and use 4.11.
    My volumes show a question mark(?) on upper right corner.
    What is going on ?

    One other thought: does the question mark go away when you open a folder?
    I am beginning to suspect that maybe just right-clicking the Finder window's toolbar and selecting "Customize Toolbar" and then seeing if you can drag the question mark off the tool bar, like there is some phantom item that the Finder can't resolve.
    A puzzle.  It definitely has something to do with the Finder toolbar, though.  I'm pretty sure of that at this point.
    EDIT:  OK, I recreated the situation.  You can drag an AppleScript to the toolbar so it will always be available.  However, if that AppleScript file goes away, what's left is the dreaded question mark.  The solution is to just drag the question mark off the toolbar while having the "Customize Toolbar" pane open as instructed above.
    Well, I learn something new today, and it's only 52 minutes into the day.  My work here is done.
    Now you see it:
    Now you don't:
    Actually, you can just right-click on the question mark and select "Remove Item" and it should be gone.

  • Replacement fans for Quicksilver 2002 800

    I'm thinking of changing the following fans on my machine for quieter versions as the Quicksilver is just too loud!
    Case fan, PSU exhaust, CPU intake
    Which are the best to replace and does anyone know of the best fans I can use to do a direct swop? Thanks in advance.

    Hi-
    Your fans are as follows:
    Case fan 120mm x 25mm = 86 cfm 37 dba
    PSU exhaust 80mm x 25mm = 38 cfm 29 dba
    CPU intake 60mm x ??= 23 cfm 33.5 dba
    As I have, just find a fan of the proper size, and necessary airflow, and replace as desired. Often times, the fans will come with 3 wires. The third, a yellow wire for speed controllers, which doesn't have to be connected. You can rewire your connectors, or use adapters, or solder directly- your choice.
    The following has lots of different brands listed, for easy comparison:

    Sorry about the thickness on the CPU fan- you'll have to measure it (total thickness of fan cage), or, maybe someone else will post.
    I have fans by Scythe, A.C. Ryan, Aerocool, and Arctic Cooling. All nice stuff, each much quieter than the origional.

  • Where do I find upgrades for my imac G4, 800 mhz for OSX?

    I have an IMAC G4 that is currently running OS X 10.2.8
    I need to upgrade my safari since it mis-reads some pages when using this IMAC. But I can't upgrade safari unless I can upgrade the OS X.
    I can find upgrades for 10.3.9 but can't install without upgrading to 10.3.
    No where on the apple website is there an upgrade to bring my 10.2.8 into the 10.3. Was this a major upgrade that required a purchase?
    My other mac is an ibook, running 10.3.9. Ideas on how I can find this other upgrade for my imac?

    Hello Kathy:
    OS X 10.2.8 is the last one in that release.
    "No where on the apple website is there an upgrade to bring my 10.2.8 into the 10.3. Was this a major upgrade that required a purchase?"
    The answer to this question is yes OS X 10.3 is a new release of OS X.
    If you are considering upgrading, I would consider OS X 10.4 The new Safari (2.0.1) is faster and has an RSS reader. You can go directly from where you are (10.2.8) to Tiger (OS X 10.4). I would suggest an archive and install if you decide to proceed:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120.
    Your iBook no doubt came with 10.3 installed. In addition to being illegal (according to the license agreement) your iBook install software would probably not work on your iMac. If you wish to get OS X 10.4, purchase a 'family' license. In that way, you may legally install on up to five computers in your household.

  • Will 800 MHZ Quicksilver USB port read a 2.0 USB Lacie Hard Drive?

    Hello everyone
    I have an 800 MHZ Quicksilver, and was wondering if it can read (adequately), either a USB 2.0, or Fire Wire conected Lacie external Hard Drive?
    I'm going to install the 1.2 Upgrade Processor:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/ST3400620AS/
    But I don't think this upgrade effects the speed of the USB Ports?
    I also installed a Multiport Fire Wire PCI card, but through this card, I get latency problems in regard to audio. It's not as fast as the built-in Fire Wire Port.
    Thanx
    Mike

    Hello Allan
    Thanx for the tip
    Do you have the same system that I have?
    Is this your card:
    http://www.sonnettech.com/product/allegro_usb2.html
    If so, it seems to actually make up for (adjust or boost), the system's USB speed capability
    And maybe I should pick up one of these too?

  • Is 800 MHz G4 enough for iDVD disk image?

    The specs for iDVD 5 say 733 MHz G4 minimum. I have an iBook without SuperDrive, but would like to create a DVD and save as a disk image to transfer to a Mac that does. Is an original 800 MHz G4 iBook capable of doing that or am I cutting it too close on the specs?

    Thanks, Len.
    I went ahead and installed it and created a project for three of my iMovies of my travels. They are all 3-1/2 to five minutes long and all have chapter markings.
    I did see the spinning beachball briefly when switching some menus, but the encoding worked fine and didn't put a drag on the actual creativity, like moving buttons, changing fonts, dropping in photos, etc.
    Going to make a disk image later for transfer to a Mac with a SuperDrive
    Anyone else have any issues with this speed of Mac and iDVD?

  • G4 Quicksilver 800 MHZ  - Improved Onboard ATA Controller?

    Hello Hello
    As I understand it, when Apple manufactured the improved G4 800 MHZ (slightly faster than the 733), it eliminated the onboard ATA controller's restriction that didn't allow the processor to recognize an internal HD of greater than 120 Gigs.
    The 800 MHZ systems recognized up to a 500 Gig internal Hard Drive - Correct?
    (without going to the option of a PCI Card to rectify the problem)
    Thanx
    Mike

    Hey Tom
    How ya doin?
    Yes thank you:
    "The high capacity drive must be formatted using Mac OS X 10.2 or later in order for partition sizes beyond 128 GB to be recognized"
    So let me understand this - With my G4 Quicksilver 800 MHZ, my plan was to utilize 2 internal HD's
    Format the smaller one (40 Gig), with OS 9.2
    Format the larger internal HD (probably about 250 Gigs), with OS 10.4 - and while formatting choose the option to load the OS 9 drivers.
    Then hopefully I'll have the best of both worlds:
    Boot into the smaller HD that has 9.2, and use OS 9.2 for my older software programs
    Then have the option to be able to boot into OS 10.4 for my newer programs that will only work in 10.4
    Sound like a plan - so then as long as I use the larger HD for Tiger, the larger capacity drive will be recognized - yes?
    Thank you
    Mike

  • Add FW 800 PCI to Quicksilver 2002 -- Performance Gain over BuiltIn 400?

    Greetings!
    I just got an external Firewire 800 enclosure and installed 2ea Seagate IDE ATA harddrives in it (and am running it off its FW 400 6-pin connection).
    I am wondering if adding FW 800 PCI card will give me much read/write performance over my built-in FireWire 400? It's common for me to move 4GB video files across internal ATA to my external FireWire drives.
    Quicksilver 2002, 10.4.3.
    Any comments welcome especially if you've compared my options on your own hardware.
    Finally:
    Can you recommend a FW 800 PCI card that works (I only need one FW 800 connection on the card).
    I am using a new enclosure PDS2GO35D, FireATA Enhance FWB2ATA35D with Oxford 912 chip, 1.2 firmware (that was recommeded on another thread and it seems to work fine).

    FW800 is about twice as fast as FW400
    Thanks for your help!
    Still, running a FW 800 harddrive off a PCI card -- on a slow PCI bus speed (33MHz) -- adds mystery to the formula over running the same harddrive off built-in FW 400 (with other FW 400 HDs attached)...
    I would guess some performance gain is likely, the question then becomes how much improvement (and is it worth the time, effort and money to find out for myself)?
    I'm sure someone has done it and could save me from a firedrill if the gain is not that much or if it doesn't work.

  • Replacement fans for quicksilver 2002 933Mhz

    Hello There, I love my 'new' secondhand Quicksilver 2002 but I hate the noise it makes. I have emailed a firm about getting quieter fans but they want to know what size the existing fans are - can someone tell me please? Or at least how does one measure them? - as I can open the machine and have a look. Also any recommendations? Thanks

  • Wiping a hard drive for a iBook (800 MHz 32 VRAM)

    i recently purchased a iBook (800 MHz 32 VRAM) off ebay, and i need to wipe the hard drive, but i didnt receive any of the boot up discs.
    anyone have any advise?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You could call the Apple Store (1-800-MYAPPLE) with the serial number. Apple should be able to provide you with a replacement set for a fee.
    Good luck!

  • Tiger upgrade for an 800 Mhz iMac G4 running 10.2.8

    When looking for the upgrade and/or install DVD's to upgrade to Tiger OS X 10.4 on an 800 Mhz G4 iMac currently running on 10.2.8, are there specific versions to look for? I have seen some for sale online that say they are good for the G4, G5, etc. but also say OS X 10.3 is required for the upgrade. Is there a way to upgrade from 10.2 to Tiger 10.4?
    Thanks.

    How much RAM do you have in that machine? You may have enough for running 10.2 or 10.3 just fine, but the real-world requirements for 10.4 are a little higher. You may be disappointed with the performance if you don't have at least 1GB.
    Also, how much free space do you have on the hard drive? The stock hard drives in those vintage iMac's weren't very fast or large. You might consider installing a new OS version on a bootable external FW drive, that way you can keep your existing system on the internal and boot from either, you can go back to the 10.2.8 system as needed.
    Do you have any third-party software or hardware, (printer/scanner/etc) that will not work in 10.4? Those may require upgrading to new versions/drivers, if still available.

  • Hard Drive For Quicksilver 2002

    I've been reading through the docs and think I've got a handle on expanding my Quicksilver 2002 - but just wanted to double-check before I started buying things willy-nilly.
    It's my understanding that Quicksilvers have no drive capacity limit and that I can install a Serial ATA-300 500 GB hard drive with no problem, as long as I have a PCI card like this one. Can I still keep my old drive as an extra that the SATA card will see?
    I'm currently running two external drives and would like to consolidate inside the machine. Thanks for any help.

    Hi
    Yes, the PCI card will allow you to install SATA drives greater than 120GB. Note this is true regardless of whether your Quicksilver has a drive capacity limit or not, as the limit exists within the ATA controller on the logic board, which won't be used by any SATA drives connected to the SATA controller on the PCI card.
    Yes, you can keep your old ATA drive, but it will remain connected to the ATA controller on the logic board, not the SATA controller on the PCI card. Basically any existing ATA drives must be connected to the onboard ATA controller, whilst any new SATA drives must be connected to the SATA controller on the PCI card.
    The two external drives are probably ATA rather than SATA and have been mounted in external firewire enclosures. Note you'll only be able to have two ATA drives and two SATA drives inside the computer, not three ATA drives. This may be a problem if you already have one internal ATA drive and two external ATA drives (in firewire enclosures) . You'd have to buy an ATA PCI card rather than a SATA PCI card, or keep one of the ATA drives external.

  • 667/800 Mhz v 1066Mhz for Logic 8

    Looking at what is on sale:
    I can buy 2.4Ghz from Apple at full price or go to somewhere else where they are cheaper but there is a difference??? Not sure if older models or built ad hoc or what .....
    The basic differences are:
    Apple sell with
    2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    System Bus 1066MHz
    Memory 2GB (two 1GB) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM; supports up to 4GB
    One FW800 slot
    The cheaper models £1033
    2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Data Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Memory DDR2 SDRAM - 667 MHz
    One FW400 & one FW800
    Can buy 4gig RAM for £28.71
    Summary
    Cheaper ones seem to have same processor and extra fw BUT system bus and RAM speed are slower.
    Would the 667Mhz RAM and 800Mhz data speed be significant for running Logic Pro8?

  • What Speed Memory for a 3.06 Ghz 24" iMac?  800 Mhz or 1.066 Ghz?

    What speed memory should I have in my iMac 24" 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo?
    It seems to have come with 800 Mhz memory, but the Bus Speed is 1.07 Ghz.
    Shouldn't it be able to use 1.066 Ghz memory??? Or is it not really up to 1.07 Ghz? The serial number is: QP8390YD0KM.
    Thanks, Jim.

    Some of the previous iMac models had bus speeds that did not match the RAM speed, by design.
    You should use this OWC web store page.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac
    Just click on your specific iMac model and read the specs on one of the compatible RAM modules.

  • AirPort with early Imac PowerPC G4 800 MHz

    I have an early model flat panel iMac, (with no AirPort card), which I intend to keep using for some years yet - alongside a new iMac or MacBook I plan to get later this year.
    Now I have just bought an Airport Extreme and an Airport Express (thru Apple Store).
    I thought to hook the Extreme via Ethernet to the iMac, and the Express to my D-Link ADSL Router.
    As soon as I tell the Extreme to use Ethernet to connect to the iMac, well that seems to kill the wireless side of things in the Extreme, so it can't talk with the Express.
    I have looked thru Apple / Support / Discussions, searched on << AirPort Express AND AirPort Extreme AND 800 MHz PowerPC G4 Imac >> with no success. Even artnum=107454 did not seem to help.
    Help please - is it possible to get Airport running with this old imac, with no AirPort card, with the Airport items I have just bought? Is my best bet to try and pick up an early Airport card, (before APExtreme card came out)?

    I've spent all day trying to get that "trick" to work and it kept failing giving me the message:
    +The Installer could not validate the contents of the Base System package. Contact the software manufacturer for assitance+
    I lost all the contents of my hard drive (no prob I backup externally), then later the HD failed to appear at all as a bootable or startup option, then when trying to restart I would get the black root screen ...
    (my extetnal is a bootable backup)
    Fine, I pulled out Tiger, clean installed. Turned right back around and tried the workaround again. I'm typing this after getting the same error message for the third time. I'm sitting right here watching Tiger install the Base System, so why can't Leopard find it? Is there something I can do on the firmware page to help it find the BS when I'm also convincing my computer that it's actually an 867?
    I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be able to use Leopard on my 2002 Dual 800 Quicksilver when I bought it. I wish I did. I can't get the installer to work. So if anyone has any ideas or solutions?
    I'm about to just hang with Tiger 'cause I'm not buying a new computer. I can't keep installing Tiger then Leopard, Tiger then Leopard. I need to use my computer.
