ITunes 8.02 + Leopard 10.5.6 + PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8 + AEXP G firmware 6.3

I have just updated my machine to the latest software + firmware for my apple networked home:
iTunes: 8.02
OS: Leopard 10.5.6
Hardware: PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8
Running latest firmware:
AEXP: 802.11b/g
AEXT: 802.11n
My apartment is perfectly working wirelessly (God knows the cancer beaming throughout my apartment). I've got a MacBook Pro and a black MacBook working with Airtunes with no problems at all now for hours, with no problems. The only problem I seem to be running into is when I'm trying to stream audio from my G5 (which has the bulk of my music). I'm still running into audio glitches/hiccups, usually after about 3-5 minutes. I'm assuming it's the wireless card/connection.
I've turned off the IPv6 but I'm still having issues. Does anyone have definitive solutions for similar setups? I appreciate people trying to help (status increasers), but unless you've got a G5 or a G-wireless card with the same problem that you've overcome or you've found a solution somewhere else, please refrain from responding, as I'm in town for another 24 hours to try and come up with a solution before leaving for a month.
Thanks for understanding/help you can provide -
Chad

you have a two router network, place the second in bridge mode.

  • Manually migrating iPhoto and iTunes from Snow Leopard to Lion..

    Hi all,
    I received a shiny new iMac yesterday and in my haste to get it up and running, I began to run the migration assistant on wi-fi.  Unfortunately, my 2006 macbook model is so old that my firewire cables don't actually fit the firewire port on the back of the iMac!!
    11 hours later, there was still 40 hours left to go.  At this point I manually quit the migration assistant. Partly because I have to work and to work I need to use a computer and partly because I realised that I don't want all the old crud from my previous system.. all I want is my iTunes (songs, apps, playlists etc) and my iPhoto to migrate.
    The original admin account that the migration assistant was going to replace was still there.  Everything seems to be working fine... I did a quick repair of disk permissions and all seems fine.   So, I think I flirted with danger by quiting the migration assistant, but danger doesn't seem to have flirted back.
    I've searched high and low on the web and I can't find any advice on migrating just your iPhoto and iTunes from Snow Leopard to Lion.  I did read a post somewhere (relating to a migration to Leopard) where someone wrote that, for iPhoto, you simply had to replace your iPhoto Library in your pictures folder on the destination machine and then simply start iPhoto.  iPhoto would upgrade the databases etc and all would be fine in the world.  I cannot find a post online that suggests that this is also the case for Lion.
    Can anyone here give me some hints on how to manually migrate the iPhoto and iTunes libraries over (and still preserve playlists in iTunes, albums/events in iPhoto etc)?
    I figure that I cannot be the only person in the world who wants a "fresh start" on their machine, with the exception of iPhoto and iTunes.

    Resident apple gurus at work have advised me to use the migration assistant and plug an ethernet cable between machines.
    I'll give this a go and then go through the process of removing and cleaning up whatever old data I can.. but if someone posts a response to this question for me, I'll happily roll back in time-machine and go again in a cleaner way. :-)

  • PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25Ghz won't let me install updates to Leopard

    Hi there.. I just bought a PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25Ghz and for some reason, I can't install Leopard through the DVD drive. I get an error saying something about <Base System> and when I did install it leopard by making the powermac a firewire drive, now I can't do any updates. I get a message that the file is corrupt and contact the software vendor. I tried doing a Repair Permission, but it wont do it and keeps going and going.... Has anyone had any issue like this?

    First, did you install Leopard using a retail version installer. Using an installer from another Mac model won't work.
    Second, is this the update file you tried to use? http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    It's best to download the update file & install off line, rather than use the auto update feature. Repair permissions before & after installing the update.

  • I cannot install Leopard 10.5 onto my PowerMac G5 (dual processor)

    I have a new retail full install DVD of Leopard 10.5 and cannot install it to my PowerMac G5 (dual processor).  I bought a new disc, thinking it was the original.  Nothing!  I bought a new SATA 1tb hard drive...  Nothing!  I have reformatted until I can refomat no more.  I have tried to "Safe Boot", holding down C, Option, Shift, etc...  Can someone tell me what to do?

    Hmmm, with the Leopard Install Disc in use Disk Utility to Verify the DVD, does that come out OK?
    If so ...
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install.

  • I am getting blocks of black, vertical broken lines to right of cursor, around applications on desktop and over text on internet. I recently updated from OS X Tiger to Leopard on my G5 powermac. Can anyone advise how to get rid of the blocks of lines?

    What graphics card is installed?
    Have you looked inside to see if the interior is dusty?
    Is the graphics card dusty?
    If equipped, is the fan on the graphics card turning?
    Leopard uses the graphics card harder than Tiger, so weakness in the graphics card is more easily shown.

  • PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 fan problem

    I just bought a Powermac G5 dual 2.0 (June 2004) with 4GB (aftermarket) RAM on eBay that has the 'constant on' fan problem. I have run every series of tests and tricks that I found on the internet and it is still stuck. The machine runs flawlessly, all benchmark tests that I have performed have been completed successfully. In addition, I have done the following:
    The door/deflector sensors are working properly, no red LED on the board
    I ran all of the OF and OSX ASD 2.5.7 tests on it and they came back clean.
    I reset the PRAM, the SMU, PMU and did the NVRAM resets in OF.
    I repaired the disk permissions
    I reseated the video card
    The machine is spotlessly clean inside
    All temperature sensors are functioning properly, and the Dashboard thermal readouts I downloaded show the temps are well within normal parameters.
    I zeroed the HD and installed a fresh copy of OSX10.5
    Nothing I have done has affected the problem at all... Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I can try to solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I'm sorry nothing worked. I should have known you would have tried those things. The thing about tiger and fan issues I heard about just a few days ago. You saw which versions were fixed and unfixed though right? Right. Reduced power does nothing too I guess. And turning off sleep. It just doesn't sound like the Jet Sounds that other users have reported regarding their fans and sleep or where the fans go into Panic mode to cool the CPU Temps. Speaking of which I recommend Temperature Monitor to see just what temps you're running at. If they are too high that might be the one explanation.
    And one wise Mac forum guru from Japan said something to the effect that most fan issues had something to do with USB problems. I hope he'll chime in, he's very good.
    What else... false sensor readings? I have no clue as to where they really are to fix.
    I sympathize because I've had fan problems of my own since I bought this mac used about two years ago. Loud revving up and down on Highest power setting... sounds like a demented banshee. Luckily I can just run on reduced power and it keeps the worst at bay.
    The Mac I had before this one was a Dual 2.0 like yours. It was a rock solid performer for several years before I put leopard on it. Within a week it was dead as a doornail.
    Well I think I've exhausted my ideas on this one. I'll keep thinking about it though. Oh, two more. The first, some kind of cool enclosure that muffles the sound without killing your Mac. The second, and what would be my preferred method if I was rich, would involve a very large hammer and...
    Anyway, I really hope you solve this, Joe. If you do, post back and let me know how you did it.
    Ack, looking back at your original post I see you already did some of the things above. Sorry, it's late and I'm too tired to edit.
    Ok, one last thing I don't think you said but just occurred to me. Have you looked under the cpu cover to see if anything is amiss there?
    That's it, I'm spent for now.
    Good luck.

  • 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

    Have you blown the dust out of it since you got it?
    Possibly a temperature problem or bad RAM/RAM slots.
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

    If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.

    Remove the metal side panel. When you press the power button, do you see anything happen? Does the power light flash at all? Do you see a red light on the logic board?

  • 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.

  • PowerMac G5 dual core resolution

    I'm having problems reaching the native resolution on a 26" Dell W2607C LCD-TV.
    Should the factory fitted nvidia 6600LE (PCI Express) be able to support 1366x768 pixels? I've read that the single-link DVI port supports up to 1920x1200.
    PowerMac G5 Dual Core 2.0GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    been a bit foolish here...
    installed switchresx, unable to make custom resolution 1366x768 active. Then realised monitor was connected to DVI-2 so moved it over to DVI-1 and restarted G5. Voila I have a host of new resolutions that fit the bill perfectly.
    Just not sure whether it would of worked without switchresx!
    Thanks for the advise.

  • PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 Vs iMac Core2Duo 2.16

    Just want some help here really.
    I would love to upgrade to a Mac Pro but it's not really realistic.
    I have at the moment a PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5. I only use it really for Logic Pro 7 and Aperture.
    I was looking at maybe getting an iMac 24inch one, to slim things down in my small home studio. Is it going to be faster than my G5, the same or slower or what??
    Thanks in advance

  • Which is better for Pro Tools LE-PowerMac G5 Dual-Core 2.3Ghz or Dual 2.7Gh

    I'm starting a small recording studio and I own a PowerMac G5 Dual-Core 2.3Ghz with 2GB of RAM and a PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7Ghz with 2GB of RAM. I need to keep one of them to run Pro Tools LE. Both G5's have the same hard drives and similar graphics cards..Does anyone know which would do a better job and if so why ??? Thanks..
