You can't. Just look for a secondhand Intel Mac.

  • Put intel chip into PPC mini?

    Is it possible to put a Intel chip into my PPC mini? I got my Mac mini in late Jan, and really want to get the new Intel Mac...

    Nope not at all, your dealing with apples and oranges - sorry couldn't resist the pun
    Seriously the cpu is one small piece of a computer. You have the chipset, and controllers that direct the communication between the components and subsystem. There's the firmware, the software to interact with the hardware.
    Then there's the physical placement of the cpu, is it soldered onto the motherboard, if not are the pin assignments the same between the ppc and intel cpu? I doubt it.
    As you can see there's many hurdles to jump. Your best bet is to by a core solo they're cheap enough (relativly speaking) or sell your current mini and get a core duo or an iMac

  • Is it possible to put my MacPro HD into my G5 drive bay?

    Hi All,
    I have a Dual 2.3 GHz G5 tower at home and a Dual-Core Intel Xenon 2.66 GHz in my office. I'm trying to troubleshoot my office HD and wanted to work on it at home. Is it possible to put my office HD into the spare drive bay in my home machine?
    Really all I want to do is use SuperDuper to make a clone of my office drive, but it takes like 5 hours to complete this task and was hoping to set it up before going to bed and having it finished when I wake up. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    You must be trying to use USB2 if it takes 5 hrs, or you have 500GB of actual data.
    Instead of popping it inside I'd just get a FW800 case or kit for easy connection.
    It might be best to run Disk Warrior (4.1.1+) or maybe address what/why it needs troubleshooting. But I would never rely on or trust Apple DU First Aid to diagnose a hard drive, let alone fix any problem.

  • We put a camcorder dvd into the our mac book and it doesn't recognize it and we cant get it out.  what can we do???

    Apple drives in MacBooks do not support mini DVDs. They cannot be injected or ejected properly. Some of them work in tray-loaders like on the Mac Pro.
    Yes, make an appointment and take it to the Genius Bar.

  • Can I put a dual processor in my power mac g5 which only has one processor right now

    Can I put a g5 dual processor into my power mac g5? I have a power mac G5 but it only has one processor so I wanted to upgrade to the G5 dual processor found in the later version power macs. Would I be able to do this? If i could do this would i need another fan or other parts? I was also thinking of putting more ram in and another hard drive. PLEASE HELP

    Exactly what to do with ram and video is hard to say without the model details.  You can go to http://www.everymac.com and click on Power Mac G5 and then find the machine you have.  The detailed info on the machine will show how much and what type of ram you can put in (I always use ram from either OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com) and also gives the installed video card info.  OWC would also be a good source to see what video cards are available that will work with that logic board.

  • Possible to put iMac G5 HD into PowerMac?

    I recently had my old iMac g5 die (logic board not Hard Drive).
    I have an old Power Mac G5 with an open harddrive bay. Can I put the imacs HD in there to get my data? is there anything I need to worry about? Is it even possible?

    Hi Ted, & welcome to the forum!
    Looks like the earliest iMasc G5 had SATA drives, so it should be simple matter of putting it into a G5 tower that requires SATA drives also.
    No thing to worry about!

  • Installing an intel processor on a power mac G5 (2004) with mac os Xpanther

    Hi everyone,
    I really need some help, I need to update my Power Mac G5 because I discover that almost every single new upgrade for Final Cut Pro is for Intel Macs, so i would like to know if it is possible to install this processor to my oldie computer or can I upgrade my panther system to a leopard and being able to run the new programs??'. Thanks a lot
    Eugenia

    You can't install an Intel processor in your G5. For Intel you need to buy a new/newer Mac.
    Here's the *Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements*
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950 To upgrade, you can skip Tiger 10.4.
    Recommend you increase RAM more than the minimum.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Wait for Intel G5 or buy power mac pro intel now????

    This is for video and multimedia processing and i know Qaud g5 is best on the market right now but i need somnething within a few months with fast processing power with intel because that will be the newest tech. that wont go out of date anytime soon. So what do I do Wait for power mac G5 Intel which i predict in year or just buy the mac book pro but scared it won't process as fast as i think it will. I just absolutly cant handle when using multiple layers and when I edit them waiting for the process time to make each of the changes. WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!!!

    You're not even comparing apples to apples here. The MBP is faster than the G4 Powerbooks, but it will in no way compete with a Quad G5! Not to mention, the MBP maxxes out at 2GB memory, which although good, is not nearly enough for serious mutimedia processing like you mentioned. If I didn't already have a D2.5, I'd buy a Quad now - why wait.

  • Is it possible to put albums by name into a playlist instead of a list of individual songs?

    I'm creating playlists on my IPod Touch but when I move an album into the playlist all I get is a list of the songs. I'd like to be able to select the name of the album from the playlist. Is it possible, and if so, how?

    Shane B,
    I have the same model iMac with the same problem screen.
    It's the LCD panel that is defective,(at least in my case).
    You can validate this by getting a mini DVI adapter to connect the iMac to an external screen and test it on your HDTV or on any external screen.
    Get the proper adapter from Mini DVI to what you have on the external screen or TV (HDMI, DVI, VGA)
    and a cable to connect it and see if the image on the external screen or TV is OK.
    In my case, my iMac was sitting on a shelf for two years before I thought of trying this.
    I am now using it as a media server linked to my HDTV.
    I ended up opening the iMac case to disconnect the LCD so I would not have to look at the ugly defective display sitting right next to my HDTV.

  • Fileshare between my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon (64-bit) & Power Mac 9600

    I want to make my Power Macintosh 9600/233 (Mac OS 9) a shared computer with my Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon (64-bit)(Mac OS 10.6.6). I am using a Netopia Model 3346N-VGx DSL Ethernet Managed Switch to network with my Samsung printer and the Mac Book Pro.
    I also have a Power PC G4 (Mac OS 10.5.8) connected (via a Ziplinq 48" Retractable Crossover Network Cable) to a Farallon EtherWave 10 Base-T AAUI Transceiver, which in turn is connected to the Netopia, from which I can share files. All of this is ethernet connectivity.
    I thought I could connect my 9600 using the same method as for the G4 or by connecting the ethernet cable from the 9600 directly into the Mac Pro Quad Core. However, neither of these methods work.
    An additional stumbling block is that I have not used this 9600 for several years and am not sure of its account name. I'm fairly certain of its password. But because I don't have a second monitor for this machine, I can't muddle my way in.
    My questions:
    1. What might be a network solution to this dilemma?
    2. Or, do I need to get another monitor for this computer and leave it un-networked and just transfer files manually?
    3. Or, would whatever hard drives are in the 9600 be transferable into the networked G4 or the main Mac Pro? (not sure what they are.)
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Oh man, what a dilemma...
    1. What might be a network solution to this dilemma?
    Without a monitor on the 9600, almost none. At the very least you'll need to configure the server with appropriate network settings for your environment, and that can't be done headless.
    You might only need a display for long enough to setup the network, but you'll need one all the same.
    Once the network is configured your options are either AFP or FTP, but I'm not even sure the old version of AFP is supported anymore, which means you may need to fire up an FTP client on the 9600 and push the files to your MacPro.
    2. Or, do I need to get another monitor for this computer and leave it un-networked and just transfer files manually?
    As mentioned above, you're going to need a monitor at the very least to configure the network settings. I'd be inclined to say at that point you might as well copy the files off any way you can and put the 9600 to rest. If you're really, really fortunate and the 9600 has a CD burner I'd probably use that and count myself lucky
    3. Or, would whatever hard drives are in the 9600 be transferable into the networked G4 or the main Mac Pro? (not sure what they are.)
    The 9600 shipped with SCSI drives, which no current Mac support (at least without a SCSI card), so there's no way to remove the drive from the 9600 and attach it directly to the MacPro.

  • Possible to register ACD with AppleCare after a Power Mac?

    I already own a Power Mac (dual 2.0) that has been registered with AppleCare. There are about 800 days remaining in the warranty.
    I have now decided that I want to buy a new 23" Apple Cinema Display from the Apple Store. Is there a way I can still register the display with the same AppleCare plan on my Power Mac? Or do they need to be registered at the same time?
    I would hate to have to buy a SECOND AppleCare plan to get my display covered.
    Thanks for your help and input!

    I had a similar dilemma. I contacted AppleCare and they stated that they would not offer an extended AppleCare warranty for a monitor purchased without a CPU.
    Another option I would suggest is to consider purchasing the ACD from an Apple authorized outlet (e.g., Fry's, CompUSA, etc.), because, they offer their own extended warranties for Apple Hardware. I found that CompUSA offered better coverage (e.g., Single Pixel Failure => replace ACD) at a lower price for the same time frame. Call around and get some quotes and warranty details.
    Good luck.

  • Powerbook with a intel chip.

    Hi guys,
    Would it be possible to put a intel chip in my powerbook so it more or less works like a Macbook pro?? Or is that out of the question?
    I don't know a lot about computers so sorry =)) if this is a stupid question..
    But I would still be gratefull for an answer!
    Thanks,
    My best regards

    Powerbook 15,    

    there is a locked post titled: Apple Press Event 22nd Feb. Could we be seeing new Intel models then? If Apple locked it, then does that mean that something is going on?
    Maybe a MacMini?
    The moderators will probaly tell me of for spectulating!
