Info needed to buy a 2nd , HD for Power Mac G5- U.K.

Hi, who sells a 2nd HD to fit into my Power Mac G5
Dual 2GHz.
A 160GB Serial ATA; 7200 rpm would be O.K.
What make is the best and ho sells them.
Cheers
Trev

Hi there,
I got my 2nd HD from PC world for around £55-60. It works perfectly.
Its a 250gb, 7200rpm, SATA. Would've got one off ebay but wanted somewhere to go back to if it didn't work, rather than just some random email address.
If you go into a PC world store, just look for the HD's in the brown cardboard boxes (they have big yellow stickers on them) & look for any SATA HD's they may have.
Also you could try any good computer shop for an SATA HD. Try : http://www.cancomuk.com/
Or try here for a trusted mail order service! : http://www.ghc.co.uk/acatalog/3.5-inchInternal_HardDrives.html - I've used them many times for bits n' bobs.
When you come to install it, use the drive screws (& cables) that are supplied with your G5 not the ones that come with the HD! These screws are just inside the computer at the top next to the HD bays, there're pre-mounted on a plastic tab on the left - you'll see them.
If your machine's bays are the same as mine you'll also need to unplug the power cable from your Startup HD & move the that plug down to the 2nd HD - as there are 2 power connectors on that cable, one at the end & one above it. So you should use the second connector in for your Startup HD & the connector on the end of the cable for your 2HD.
Note: the data cable for the lower bay "may" be stuck down (by tape?) underneath the drive bays (mine was) so it "may" need just a little gentle coaxing into position in your 2nd HD - just don't pull the other end from the Logic Board!

4 Macs in the family, do i need to buy a Lion license for each mac?

4 Macs in the family, do i need to buy a Lion license for each mac?

No, you only need to buy 1 license for one of the systems. Then you can go to another system in your household, login to the App Store with the same login you used previously, download/install Lion for that system and so on.

Need new low-end graphics card for Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970)

My Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970) has recently died I believe due to a bad
ATI RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION video card.
Reason for thinking its the card, is that the machine was performing its intended tasks for several days even though the monitor was snow.
Having trouble determining a low-end replacement. (I no longer need the enhanced features of the RADEON X800 for this machine.
Much appreciated if someone could suggest a product appropriate for PowerPC 970.
Thanks!

I also ran into this issue with my dual G5. When I bought it, I didn't get wireless because it was a dedicated desktop on the network, but I'm upgrading and giving it to the kids to use in a room without wired network. Now that wireless would be really nice and it looks like the official solution is:
"Apple Wireless Upgrade Kit for Power Mac G5 Dual or Power Mac G5 Quad MA252G/A"
which is really expensive and difficult to install. But the weird thing is that I do have bluetooth. I wonder if there's just some little doodad I need to connect to get wireless going too, but I can't find any info on the card, and it looks like it's buried on the motherboard behind all the cooling stuff. I'll probably just spring for one of the USB solutions.

I recently got a i phone 3 GS, how do I use applications now ? Do I need to buy some apple pack for apple services monthly ??

I recently got a i phone 3 GS, how do I use applications now ? Do I need to buy some apple pack for apple services monthly ??

You download apps from the App Store on your iPhone or iTunes from your computer. If from the computer, you then sync them to your 3GS via iTunes.

and why cant i just pay for the app ones for all devices as long at it is with the same account??
i hate that i have to oay for the same game or app three time one for ipad ones for iphone and ones for mac please do something about that apple..!!!

First, you posted in the Mac App Store forum which are apps for the Mac OS X, not iOS devices.
You do not need to re purchase your apps. Connect your iOS devices to your computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Apps then click Sync
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

i have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

No... Because it is distributed via the Mac App Store, it falls under the Mac App Store rules.. Which should mean that you can install it on up to 5 machines that you own.

If I need to buy 15 Final Cut for the university.

If I need to buy 15 Final Cut for the university. Do I have to do all the process 15 times?

Disclaimer - For me the Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture very different from that found in most 1st world nations, such as that in the two dominant North American countries. Written language has no tone. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Final Cut Pro is an app for Macs and not an iOS app for an iPhone or iPad. You will need the link for Apple software volume licensing for education. That information and the phone number to call is available on this webpage;

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and I have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad to the iTunes account

I want to buy a 2nd iPad for my wife. we both have kindles and i have the kindle app for my iPad. are there any issues or concerns in adding a 2nd iPad with kindle app?

You can sync as many iDevices as you own to a single iTunes library if you want to do so. If you manage the content manually, you can pick and choose the apps, music, videos and so on that you want on each device. One iTunes account means using the same Apple ID to purchase and update all of your apps. You can share apps on both devices because once you buy an app, you can download it to all of your iDevices - as many times as you want - using the same Apple ID and iTunes account. If you decide to do this, you have to sync to the same computer each time in order to keep all of your shared apps in the one iTunes library.
The Kindle App content is not synced to the iTunes library. It is controlled by your Kindle account. I believe that you can go into your Kindle account and transfer your purchase to your other devices - iPad, computer, etc. You can both have the Kindle app on your iPads and share the content as far as I know, so I see no conflict there. However, while I do have the Kindle app and an account, I do not use it very often.
If you want to share the one iTunes account, there should be no problems with a second iPad. I sync my iPad, my iPod Touch and my wife's iPod Touch to my MacBook using the same iTunes library and we have different content on all three devices. My daughter uses my iTunes account for her iPod Touch and syncs to her own MacBook and her own iTunes library.
Four devices using one iTunes account syncing to two different iTunes libraries.

Do I need to buy any extra cables for the airport express??

I was wondering if i need to buy any extra cables for the airport exprees.what kind of cables do i have to get to connect the airport express to my DSL modem?

Typically all you would need is an Ethernet cable (cat5, rj45 end), and it would be connected to the LAN port on the DSL modem, and the Ethernet jack on the AP Express.

I needed to buy a new battery for my Apple Remote

I thought that it might be helpful for other users to know that if their brand new Apple Remote is not working, it may be because the CR2032 battery is old. In my case, I had to think why was my new Apple Remote not working:
1) the battery was old
2) the Remote was broken
3) the computer sensor was broken
I am glad that after spending $4.49 cents at the local Ace that as soon as I hit menu, the Apple Remote screen came up on my Mac.

i need to buy a new battery for my Macbook 13-inch aluminum, late 2008 (A1280) .. ... and i can´t find it at the Apple Store Web, please help me

Shall i buy anti virus software for my MAC pro lion

Do I need to install anti-virus software for my Mac pro?

You do not need any anti-virus for a Mac.
Do not download any software from the web to protect your Mac.
Apple releases updates that will offer all the protection a Mac needs.
Keep the software updated.
Many in this community use ClamXav and recommend using it.
Best.
