Looking to replace the original 6 Gig HD

Hi everyone
Jim tells me that there are a few folks out here, who may be provide a some tips in replacing the old original 6 gig HD.
I was warned to that a very large capacity HD wouldn't be conducive to an OS 9.1 format. So I'll need to get something not too large.
I also want to make certain that a 7200 RPM, ATA-type HD would work ok?
I know from experience that when I bought a new 2nd internal drive for my G5, that most of the drives I was shopping for were all pre-formatted for 'WINDOWS', so I had to utilize OS 10.4's erase and format ultility which worked fine.
Can you guys provide a tip here in regard to OS 9.1?
Thanx all
Mike

Hi Mac Man (Jim)
Hi Don
Jim was right
It's very nice to see how some folks still love their old G3's, and how helpful eveyone is
Ok Don looks like:
(B&W G3) Rev. 1 and Rev. 2 logic boards are similar. To differentiate, check the number printed on the CMD chip at location U1. The CMD chip on Rev. 1 logic boards is PCI646U2 and on Rev. 2 logic boards is 646U2-402.
With this I should get started - although on 2nd thought, I really wasn't gonna get anything bigger than about a 40-60 Gig anyway.
And yes this new drive will be the main HD (I already have a 2nd 20 Gig drive)
With a bigger main HD drive capacity, and some additional RAM, I was hoping to pep up the performance a bit....
Ok - I'll look for an ATA-type 7200 RPM 40-60 Gig HD (perhaps from New Egg)?

And then - here's my plan - but don't know if it's correct:
Put the Apple OS 9.1 disc in the CD ROM (it's the full retail boot disc)
Boot down, take the old 6 gig HD drive out, and replace it with a new 60 Gig HD
Boot back up by pressing the power button, and holding down the C key for a format from the OS 9.1 disc in the CD ROM?
Look for any prompts to get me into the Drive Set Up Utility?
(or perhaps this will automatically come up when I initially boot up)?
Thanx so much Don
Mike

I I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life. I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata. Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

I knew I should never get rid of my old G5's. By the way, there is a browser still supported for the PPC, TenFourFox, if you're not using it already. Go to the Floodgap website (they author it) download it for free. The only thing it doesn't support is the Flash plugin, but the browser works great. Other video types are supported. It's based on Firefox, and runs most of the plugins and add-ons. It's very fast, and beats all other browsers on the browser compatibility and speed test. That's now my default on my G5's. Firefox and Safari are no longer supported. As far as the OS, both Tiger and Leopard were solid for me. The reason, as I stated before, was iMovie. The version in Tiger with iLife was far superior to what Apple changed it to. They 'dumbed it down' for the masses. Even the newest iLife 11 on my Mac Pro quad isn't is good, in my opinion. So Leopard should be fine for you. It's a much larger browser in terms of sheer megabytes and disk space, but it's fine. As far as getting an OS disc, I'm seeing Tiger for about $45.00, Leopard for $50 - 60.00 on that famous auction site. As far as RAM, I have 8GB in my G5 2.3, but you should check Activity Monitor when you are running your apps. See how much green slice you have left (unused RAM). You might find you don't need eight. A Mac Pro will grab more free RAM than a PPC machine will. I have a hard time maxing out use of my 8 on the PPC. Not true with the eight on my Mac Pro. The OS doesn't hesitate to grab and use it. You might be OK with 6GB on your PPC. More will not make you faster, as long as you still have free RAM available. As far as backup on your resurrected machine: look for a firewire enabled backup if can. Use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and make a clone backup. Next time your PPC machine wipes out the hard drive, just take your Firewire drive and plug it into another PPC machine, and you can select it as your boot drive. You'll be back and running in five minutes. You can also take the physical drive out of your enclosure, and put it in your tower to replace the failed drive, and you'll be back to where you were in less than ten minutes, OS and all. The PowerMac has an 800 port, so you can do the 800 on the machine to an 800 port on your backup. A firewire 800 to 800 cable is only about $8.00. It runs nice and fast through the 800 port. I like the OWC Mercury Extreme enclosures. They use USB, Firewire 800, and eSATA, so all your options are open.

The chinese signs looks different in the original document compare to when imported in FM

I am using Framemaker 7.2 in Microsoft Office and I am trying to import chinese signs into a document but the signs looks different in the original compare to the FM document. The original document is a Word-file with format Arial Unicode MS and when I import that file it doesn't matter whether I choose to import by "Reformat Using Current Document's Formats" or by "Retain Sourse's Formatting", the signs looks different. Does anyone know how I should do it?

FrameMaker does support Chinese (and Japanese and Korean) for years, but I am not sure how capable the Word Import is.
Your message is unclear to me if the Chinese glyphs just look different (like: FrameMaker uses a different font) or are different (like: This seems to be Chinese but the signs are completely different).
The first can be handled by making sure the same font is selected.
In case of the latter: Make sure you have that Word document in RTF form, you will see far better results then. It also might make a difference if the document is saved to RTF on a Chinese or a Western system, you might want to try both if possible.

When I copy and paste text in facebook, the text looks fine until I hit 'share' or 'comment' to submit it. Firefox then adds indiscriminate line-feeds within the text and it looks nothing like the original text. It makes it very difficult to read and awful to look at.
This does not happen in Safari.
(Mac OSX 10.6.4 with Firefox 3.6.6).

Same problem, 3.6.8 and previous recent versions. I never thought to try another browser but I just pasted into IE and it worked fine. I copied from Firefox to IE and it worked as well. It's just when you paste into Firefox that you get the weird line breaks.

DiskWarrior cannot replace the original directory due to Mac OS failure?

I have a Powermac Dual G5 running 10.4.8. I have a Lacie Firewire 800 RAID attached.
Lacie firmware is up to date and Disk Utility reports no problems with the RAID, either permissions or Repair/Verify disk.
I have run the latest DiskWarrior 3.0.3 on the RAID (both from the boot volume and booted from the 303 rev39 CD) and it detects a formidable list of potential repairs to be done, creation dates on link files etc.
It offers the next step which is to replace the existing directory with the pristine one it has just prepared.
Every time I press 'Replace' it backs out, reporting;
"The new directory cannot replace the original directory due to a MacOS services failure"
(If I run DW when booted from the RAID, it replaces the normal boot drives directory OK btw)
I do understand there used to be a bug in Mac OS Panther and an older DiskWarrior reporting similar to this but why now with 3.0.3?
What does it mean?
Google was no help. Maybe should have come here first

If lots of errors are reported, it is probably a good idea not to replace the directory. Wiring anything to the drives could make things worse. With Disk Warrior run from your boot hard drive, have it create the new directory, but don't try to write it to the disks. You can then use the new directory to copy files from the bad disks to another disk, or DVDs. It should give you a more accurate backup than the old directory, with its errors. Others have reported LaCie RAID systems failing, so get the data while you can. You could then reformat the LaCie with zeroing and see if it generates errors again, maybe running Disk Warrior daily. If your are lucky, the LaCie may be OK then, but I wouldn't trust it.

If I post a photo on Photostream, then edit it in iPhoto, will the edited version replace the original?

I am working with RAW photos. If iPhoto uploads immediately to Photostream after adding pics and then I edit the photo, will the edited version replace the original on Photostream?

Yes.
If you want to do this to squeeze more songs onto a device then take advantage of the feature to downsample as songs are transferred. Device > Summary tab > Convert higher bitrate songs to to 128kbps AAC
If you're running out of room on your library's hard drive then it is time to buy a bigger drive.

I replaced the original hdd in my early 2008 iMac. I can't move my files that were backed up with Time Machine to my new hdd using Migration Assistant. When prompted to select the "from drive", the ext. hhd does not appears as a selection. Please help!!

I'd recommend staring over, Pondini has created an excellent guide on how to use Setup Assistant. I'd recommend begin reading Pondini Setup Assistant tips where he talks about "Second Chance." Assuming your Time Machine backup is sound the restore should be very smooth.

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

Hi Glenyse,
Here are my steps.
1. I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
2. I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
3. I enter the recipient's email address.
4. The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
5. The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
6. The image opens up to its own screen.
7. The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
Here is the part I do not understand. For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name. So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

I tried to import a perfectly crisp unpixelated screen recording to iMovie and when it imported it became very pixelated and fuzzy I tried exporting it but it was still fuzzy! I looked back at the original recording that wasnt imported and it wasnt fuzzy.

I solved it. When I imported I hit the optimise large button instead just stay to the original.

Replacing the original audio track

so i'm kind of new to premiere and i was wondering how you would replace the audio of an original clip with a different audio track?

Alt drag audio into audio on timeline.
Must be of the same length or have an inpoint otherwise it will be out of sync.
Save way is to put the different audio on a track below the original and mute the original.

How can I replace the original HP software (not OS) on laptop modified from Vista 32 to Win7 Pro 32?

Product: HP G60-235DX laptop purchased several years ago with Vista.
I finally went from Vista 32 to Windows 7 Pro 32 bit using the custom install function on a disk for use in refurbishing a computer. All went well except now when I go to the HP website for driver updates, etc. it recognizes my laptop with the Win7 OS but nothing ever comes up on the list. How can I get this to work?
Also, I would like to be able to get the HP Support software back onto this laptop so I can allow the program to run and automatically update drivers, etc.
Where can I get a copy of the Lightscribe software for the DVD/CD RW?
The original Vista recovery partition appears to exist but not sure what I can recover off of that without messing up my Windows 7 installation.
Any help would be appreciated.

When I open your link on my Android tablet I can see everything. I'll try this link in the morning on my laptop. When I went to this area earlier today it insisted on looking for my computer and wouldn't list anything. Maybe your link allows me to avoid that issue. Thanks. I'll post results.

Jey,
here is my hyperterm replacement, I use it for first serial tests on new devices.
It's maybe more than you need and not even documented.
It's in LabVIEW 7.1 now (was 6.1), and this new serial assistant looks even more powerful than this, however I haven't used the assistant (started with LV3.1 ;-)
Greetings from Germany

HT5622 Will apple replace the original iPhone screen and LCD and digitizer and how much will it be ????? And please tell me ??? Thank you :) for the help :)

Will apple still fix the original iPhone screen ???? And digtizer ???

Apple no longer supports the original iPhone. If you really want to repair it, you'll need to either take/send it to a third-party repair shop or buy parts and attempt repair yourself. Myself I wouldn't spend any money trying to repair the original iPhone.

How do I download and install Lightroom 5 on a new MacBook Pro, as I have replaced the original MacBook Pro that it was installed on when I purchased it 9 months ago?

I purchased - downloaded and installed Lightroom 5 on my old Macbook Pro in June, 2014. I have since replaced that computer with a new Macbook Pro. I uninstalled Lightroom from that computer. I would like to download Lightroom 5 onto my new computer, but none of the codes I have are working. How can I download it without having to re-purchase it?
