ISite external and PowerMac G5 dual 2.7 GHz - no signal

OK, so I fire up Delicious Library to enter some DVDs and when I click on the little camera icon, I get a black window with "no signal". Similarly if I fire up iChat, and click on the camera icon, there is only a black window - no image. In neither of these cases does the iSite's little green light come on.
Twisting the bezzel to open/close the iSite lens cover (which I only found out about today when searching for a solution to this problem - neat little shutter) has no effect.
If I unplug the iSite and plug it back in, the little green light comes on for about 3 seconds, then there is a click sound and then the light turns turns off.
The iSight does apear in the System Profiler, and if I have iChat set to open upon the iSight being plugged in, iChat does launch when I plug in the iSight.
I do not use the iSight very often, but I recall in the past there being some troubles with it being fully recognized, but previously I have been able to solve it by plugging/unplugging, loggin in/out, and similar sorts of tacticts. I have enven tried restarting the system, and that does not seem to have helped.
Anyone have any ideas? The "iSight: How to Troubleshoot" document at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240 seems to indicate that it might be a hardware problem with the camera?

Hello Johann Beda,
Although you solved your own problem, I'm a bit surprised that you didn't come across the advice to never, not if you value your external HD data, never run or use your iSight at the same time while an external HD is in use. There are numerous stories & discussions of problems with iSight and external FW devices not playing well together and of lost data. I think you were probably lucky that you only experienced the cam not working.
Anytime you want to use the iSight, unplug the external HD. Otherwise your running a risk of lost data. And if your using the external HD for Delicious (scanning bar codes) you might want to consider adding a 2ns internalSATA HD to your G5. It takes less than 10 min and there are simple directions on the Apple support site.
I did, and have not had any problems. And I now use the external FW HD for backups every week.
Finally, as Ralph mentioned, there are somereports of problems w/Delicious but compared to the FW-iSight-Ext.HD issue, this conflict seems to be pretty rare.
Respectfully,
Bill Gallagher

  • Powermac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz machines made in 2004 ship with Tiger or Panther?

    Reason I'm asking is I bought this mac used. The dude forgot his password, the machine freezes up intermitently, so I think I should reload the OS. However he forgot to give me the OS X system disks that come with it. He's been avoiding my phone calls about this. So I'd love any help anyone can give me on this system freeze up and password issue. Thanks!

    Other than having to buy Tiger OS, there is no reason not to. I have Tiger on even older 2003 G4 MDD and Blue G3 (Yosemite) still running 10.4.9. Well, I don't use the G3.... but I 'could' - and run okay for basic stuff.
    The only things to consider is that you have updated your software and such to run on Tiger (can't see that being an issue 2 yrs after Tiger shipped, unlike Apr 2005 when it was a 'learning curve' for all of us).
    I would backup, and then use Tiger DVD to re-format (Partition) and install, and then import or merge my files afterwards. Anyone with G5 from prior to Apr 2005 really is more likely and should upgrade to Tiger than stay with the original OS.

  • PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 GHz Bootup issues

    So, although I have much knowledge about Windows and a decent amount of knowledge about Linux Operating Systems, I know little to nothing about Mac OS X. My knowledge of iOS 8.1.2 is very good, but switching to Apple as my main provider of computer and phone systems and parts has been frustrating. I have 3 PowerMac G5's, each the dual 2.0 GHz models that I recieved as a housewarming gift to the Apple community. However, when I start up the computer, I get a flashing symbol with the "Finder" application logo, then a square with a "?" In it, then back and forth with a second between each flash. I've tried holding the option key with and turning it on (with no CD, with a copy of OSX mountain lion on a disc in the drive, and with a copy of Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS burned to a disc in the drive). I have tried installing the Mac OSX Mountain Lion to the hard drive on a separate computer, then booting it using the PowerMac, but to no avail. Can anyone help me with this issue? I've fallen for Apple and won't revert back to windows, but don't want to buy a whole new Apple computer.

  • PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 Ghz. Want Start PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    HI, all
    I have MacPro G5 Dual 2.5 Ghz. 2004 PCI-X Bus
    Yesterday my mac freeze during normal operation in Leopard 10.5.8
    When I tried to restart the computer stop after display Apple Logo in the startup.
    I have tried all this features:
    1) Start from CD Same.
    2) Reset SMU With Power Switch in the mani Board Same.
    3) Reset Pram In some case the computer freeze and it's doesn't do that, in some other the Pram is reset but the machine still doesn't start.
    4) Replace Pram Battery 3.6 V Same.
    5) Start With Open Firmware (Altcommand+of) When i write "reset-all" The machine Freeze.
    6) Start with Hardware test CD And IT Work Fine, all tests are passed with OK in base and exaust test!!!!!
    7) At last I have replace the video Card, but same freeze at start.
    I have tried to swap display using second monitor out And I have seen some strange things:
    When I use second display connector the computer still freeze during the startup sequence after the apple logo, but when i shut off computer pressing 10 second the power switch and reconnect the first display connector the machine start normal al all work fine (INCREDIBLE!!)
    But when I shutdown the computer the next time i try to power on it freeze in the same way!!!
    Just for information if i start in verbose mode (command+v) the machine freeze after "DART Enable"
    Please anyone could help me to resolve this issue?
    Thank's In Advance and sorry for my bad english.
    Bye

    Hi, I have Dual 2.0 GHz machine and it has some of the symptoms yours has. In Open Firmware if I type reset-nvram, set-defaults and then reset-all the computer does freeze, but in my case if I type reset-all without those two the computer resets itself as it is supposed to do.
    My computer usually hangs at the apple logo and verbose mode shows DART Enabled as last message, rarely it will not chime at all or will chime but so no picture. If sometimes boots fine and runs without problems for 15 seconds to 3 hours, in my case it seems that if I run the CPU's at maximum settings and put them to constant stress the system is more stable, which I think is odd.
    I have replace PRAM battery but that did not change the situation. I will later try to reseat or remove one of the processors altough I don't know if these motherboards are designed to work with processors removed.
    I think it is motherboard or CPU -issue.

  • UNRESPONSIVE NVidia 6800 card and Powermac G5 Dual 2.5 (2004)

    I just purchased a NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra card for my 2.5 dual G5 (which is a model from 2004). I need the card b/c I've been doing a lot of work in Motion. I bought the card on EBAY and it came in a beautiful Apple box -- barely used and verified to be working.
    I installed it and it didn't work, even though my G5 meets all the specs. The card is properly installed (its fan is whirring up a storm), but my 2 Samsung monitors don't activate. (Everything of course works fine with my standard-issue Radeon 9600). I'm on 10.410
    A few notes:
    -An AppleCare specialist claimed that my G5 is too old for this card -- even though the card says it works with even First Gen G5's. (I believe mine is 2nd Gen)
    -When I try starting up with the Nvidia, I hear a high-pitch sound -- almost like speaker feedback. I saw this on someone else's post with another graphic card issue
    -The Graphic Card Installer CD's would not install drivers on my system. Said something about my harrdrive not accepting these drivers
    -Another post mentioned how a Logitech wireless keyboard driver can mess up graphic extensions -- which makes no sense to me (I am using a Logitech wireless keyboard.
    Any thoughts out there. MUCH MUCH appreciated.

    I actually did what Roland suggested and got mine to work. The only problem has been when I run World of Warcraft I now get a Kernel Panic. I have been using the computer without updating anything in osx, currently running osx 10.4.0
    I am going to do the cumulative update to see if it behaves better. Is there anyway I can find out if the card is running in AGP x8? This is the card info I get on the system profiler:
    Chipset Model: GeForce 6800 GT
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 256 MB
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0045
    Revision ID: 0x00a1
    ROM Revision: 2121m
    This card is different. It says its a 6800GT DDL, but its not the original Åpple made one, its one that says GeForece XFS on the fan...
    What do you guys think?

  • Powermac G5 dual 2.3 Ghz melting?

    Greetings from broke *** Iceland!
    Sorry if my english is not spot-on perfect I'll try my best. When I turned my Powermac G5 on a few days ago the fans went berserk. As I understand this is a common problem on these machines. This has happened a time to time over the last 3 years but now they stay in overdrive all the time and my room is suddenly like a noisy airplane cabinet. So I have tried to blow all visible dust inside the case and from the fans. I also pulled the powerplug, reset the SMU and restarted again holding the altcommand+pr but it doesn't work. I tested the RAM and it is ok. I called my local Apple dealership in Reykjavik ( I live in Akureyri some 400KM away ) and they told me that it would have to be a bad heat sensor. That was what I also thought after some internet investigation until I found a program called Thermographx which reads heat sensors in Mac computers. It claims to be rather precise in readings, specially in later models like G5's and my readings tell me that my drive bay is 75°F
    backside is 86°F
    U3 heatsink is 114°F
    CPU A AD7417 AMB is 86°F
    CPU B AD7417 AMB is 262°F !!!
    Is this normal? My computer runs fine...though....but isn't this rather hot and odd that only CPU B is overheating? Is my CPU dying and not a faulty sensor to blame? Is it save to keep working on it like this? Maybe this program isn't perfect...but 262 worries me.
    My dealership in Reykjavik put in a new motherboard one year ago, a new powerunit, fixed some other minor things and it took 8 weeks. Horrible service here in Iceland so I'm not too happy to go there again if I don't have to since i'm a graphic freelancer and this machine is my bread and butter. Last time I got a loaner after one month!
    The computer is in a fairly good ventilated room and it is getting enough air circulation - the same as always I guess. I just moved to a new place and this happened the first time I turned it on in the new place but I was very careful when moving the case. It got a bit of a bump one time though, not very hard, I would be suprised if that damaged the B CPU in some way? Could it? Both fans are working 100%.
    Any ideas what to do - I know computers fairly good - but I'm not a technician.
    Cheers

    Hello hafz,
    I use iStat Pro widget for temperature monitoring. My CPU A and B reads 113 and 102, respectively. The Ambient reads 92 and 90, respectively.
    Your CPU B Ambient is very high. A good guess is a faulty temperature sensor or a need for re-calibration. This is done using the Apple Service Diagnostic CD. A local Apple service facility should be able to help.
    Search the net and try to find out more about replacing, disconnecting, checking the connection of the bad sensor, or where to locate the sensor for inspection. I would guess that someone else on the net has had a similar problem and has posted their experience.
    Best Regards

  • Powermac G5 dual 2.5 issues!

    I purchased a pre-owned Powermac G5 Dual 2.5 ghz. It has 4gb ram and is running Mac OSX 10.5.8. Very shortly after I purchased the computer I had a crash and couldn't get it to start back up. I tried to re-install software and it would go part of the way thru and crash on the install every time. I started the machine in target mode and hooked it to my old trusty G4. I was able to install the software that way with no issues. I then went back to the G5 and tried installing updates, but part of the way thru the updates it would crash saying the update was possibly corrupt, ( these were straight from apple so I doubt that ) thus leaving my g5 unable to restart because of the partial software update. I did the target mode again, this time installing all of the updates using my G4. After all was said and done, I was back to where i had started when i bought it. I now keep to be getting freeze issue with the machine. I can be online using safari and all of a sudden I get the spinning color wheel. When this happens I can not even force quit the app, it will just sit there spinning away. Tonight i tried opening firefox and it started up and ran for a few minutes before freezing also. A few days ago I had tried to burn a dvd using toast, and that app also froze up and would not let me force quit. I have not had any issues like this from my G4, and after trying resetting the SMU, PRAM and many many hard restarts, I am no closer to knowing what the issue could be. Any help or ideas for me to try would be much appreciated.  Thanks, Mike

  • Random shutdown problem on G5 dual 2.3 GHz w/OS 10.4.7

    Hello,
    I’m using a dual 2.3 GHz G5, and it’s been working flawlessly since I bought it about a year ago. Until yesterday, I was running OS 10.4.5. Yesterday I upgraded to 10.4.7, and as soon as I booted up after the install, I started having a maddening problem with my computer randomly shutting down. (Not sleeping, but a complete power down.)
    At first, the shutdown would happen immediately after powering up; my computer wouldn’t even make it to the blue progress bar. I zapped the PRAM and tried something I found online about unplugging the computer for 15 seconds, then plugging it back in. It now boots up, and I can log in, but the computer still shuts down randomly.
    There seems to be no pattern to the shutdowns. I tried taxing the processor by opening and resampling huge Photoshop files while lots of other apps were open, and things were fine. Then it would conk out while I was composing an email.
    I’ve heard of this random shutdown problem affecting Macbooks, but I have yet to find anything about G5 towers and OS 10.4.7. Does anyone have any info/advice?
    Many thanks.
    G5 dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.5 GB RAM, 250 GB HD
    G5 dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.5 GB RAM, 250 GB HD

    Thanks for the advice. I did check the system.log in Console and found the following altert:
    PMU FORCED SHUTDOWN, CAUSE = -122
    Now, since my computer is just over a year old, and since this problem happened immediately after applying the 10.4.7 OS update, I found it hard to believe that my hardware could be responsible. After 2 days of troubleshooting, I was stumped; after a 2-hour service call, so was Apple tech support. I ended up doing an archive and install back down to 10.4.5, and all is well.
    I tested this issue on other machines running 10.4.7 and had no problems. It seems that the following specific combination of elements triggered the problem:
    • PowerMac G5 dual 2.3 GHz (dual 1.8 machines did not exhibit the same problem)
    • OS 10.4.7
    • Logging in with Open Directory/Active Directory mobile profiles
    • iTunes 7
    Bottom line: if you’re using a dual 2.3 GHz PowerMac with mobile OD/AD profiles, do not update to 10.4.7, and steer clear of iTunes 7, at least until there is a patch update available.
    (And Apple wants to be taken seriously in the enterprise market?)

  • PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 - Only Boots with Side Cover and Fan Guard OFF!!

    I have the strangest problem with my PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5.  This has been my Pro Tools rig forEVER.
    At some point early last year, my Mac wouldn't boot.  It would not see the hard drive, and would show that dreaded alternating icon in the middle of the screen indicating as much.  I tried resetting, tried power off/on, tried resetting PRAM.  Nothing.  I took the cover off, and fan guard off to get at the hard drive.  Verified the data and power cable were seated in hard drive.  Cover still off, I booted up the system.  Voila!!!  Booted right up like nothing was ever wrong.  I put the cover back on, and went about my business, passing it off as a one-off power glitch (the power in my house ***** rocks).  Next time I rebooted the Mac, the exact same thing happened. 
    I can repeat this at will.  If I leave the cover on, the system will not ever, ever boot.  The minute I take the cover and fan guard off, causing the fans to spin at max speed when turned on, the system boots without issue.  So, I reset PRAM and PMU.  I even tried replacing that green/white cylindrical battery on the motherboard.  Reseated power/data cable on hard drive.  ****, I even tried a different hard drive and memory (explained below).  No change. 
    Since then, I have relegated this system to the emergency backup system, and procured Dual 2.7 G5 PowerMac.  I transferred the pro tools cards, hard drive (without formatting it) and memory (8 GB) to this new 2.7, and have not had a single, solitary issue with it.  So, I know it's not the hard drive, memory, OS install, or Pro Tools cards.
    What in the name of the Apple Gods could be causing this issue?  Any ideas at all?

    Hi Chris,
    Good info & work so far, but indeed strange, only thing I can think of is something to do with that little switch for the fan cover... near the bottom as I recall, but it may be some kind of short in it's circuit.

    http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060621071707921
    The only way to install OS 9.2.2 is using the install CD/DVD that came with the Mac, since these are special versions of OS 9.2.2.
    If you just want to run classic mode, copy the System Folder from another Mac that has OS 9.1 (or better with 9.2.1 or 9.2.2) installed. A USB thumb dive works great for this. Transfer the folder to your Mac. It won't interfere with your OS X system which is in a folder titled System.

  • Powermac G5 Dual Core 2.0 GHZ or Macbook Pro Dual Core 2.0 GHZ

    I have a Macbook Pro Dual Core 2.0 GHZ that currently has 1 GB of RAM in it. For the most part it runs fine, but I do come into problems with it sometimes while I'm doing video editing which is my main usage for my computer. I currently run Final Cut Studio 2. Would it be worth it to sell this computer and get a Powermac G5 Dual Core 2.0 GHZ or 2.3 GHZ and upgrade the RAM to 8 GB to help my video editing run smoother? The reason why I am considering this is because I would like a computer that would work better with my video editing at a cost that I can afford. I also would like to have a firewire 800 port for my external hard drives. I rarely use my internal hard drive, so that is no factor in my decision. Currently I cannot afford a new Mac Pro, but will be buying one in about a year. I'm just trying to decide if this would be a good switch for right now. Thanks for your help.

    Although I don't own a Mac Pro, rumor has it that they run video chores significantly more efficiently than do the last generation G5's. I bought my 2.3 GHz, w/the 7800 card, for $600, last November on eBay. The case wasn't cosmetically perfect (a rather nasty looking crimp on the front handle) but it has performed well running my video (EyeTV and recording) and academic (I teach math & Mathematica) needs. I picked-up extra memory (it now has 6 Gigs) pretty cheap (around $75, IIRC), from Kingston. I also took the advice of many here and got a WD 640GB HD that made a significant difference in both boot-time and opening applications. However, if you're going to get a new Mac Pro in a year, it's almost like throwing money away - the G5 will probably have its' depreciation rate decrease once the software vendors no longer continue supporting pre-Intel machines. That being said, my G5 is more than sufficient handling my present version of Mathematica - I don't think that paying $3000, or whatever it takes to get a new Mac Pro, would balance the marginal increase of utility I would get using Mathematica. If I were a video guru, I might feel differently. I thought I could give you a definitive yes, buy the G5, because I really love mine. Unless something happens, I plan on having it for at least a few years. At about $250/year, if one figures that I'll have owned it for a total of 3 years, that's less than 70¢/day. But I also value the opinions of many of the posters who have commented on the new machine's speed, compared to the 2.5 GHz Quad, say.

    I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it.  The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network.  This is a pre-intel computer.  Do I need an additional antennae?   If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.

    Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.
