Manual for G3 IMac clamshell Graphite 466

I just bought a clamshell Graphite 466 off of ebay and know nothing about these computers, but have owned many Mac's. Can anyone tell me where I might find a manual for this computer?
I know I need to purchase an airport card for it and will need some info on how to install.
I really appreciate any help finding info on getting my hands on a manual.

There is an PDF manual available from Apple:

Is There A Free Workshop Manual For Intel-iMacs ?

I have downloaded Workshop Manuals/Instructions (not necessarily official ones!) for previous iMacs.
Does anybody know of a site providing FREE DIY information for the Core Duo iMac?
Ian.

Hi Steve.
I have only looked at G3 and G5 manuals.
However, you will find some G4 iMac manuals half way down the huge page on this link:-
http://www.applerepairmanuals.com/
I don't know how useful they will be as I haven't looked at them.

How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto? I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :

Original OS 9 software for the iMac Graphite

just curious i picked up an older iMac at a thrift store however, of course it didn't come with any software. i thought i could load OS X.2 which i did, and that was fine, but so i ordered the software from someone on ebay, but my question is this: will the OS 9 and 10.0.4 software for the iMac Graphite work on my iMac. the specs on the one i bought are: indigo, 500, 20GB, 128 RAM, CD-RW.

Hi, Tim -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Your indigo iMac 500MHz model can be one of three iMac model series. Each has its own minimum OS version, which is the one it originally shipped with. These are -
• iMac (Summer 2000) - OS 9.0.4
• iMac (Early 2001) - OS 9.1 (and OSX 10.0.3 on later models)
• iMac (Summer 2001) - OS 9.1 and OSX 10.0.4
All of the OS 9 versions above, the ones that shipped with those models, are model-specific versions - that means that a retail OS 9 Install CD of equal version may not work. However, a retail OS 9 Install CD of the next higher version will work.
It is doubtful that CDs that came with a graphite iMac will work for the machine in question, unless the graphite model is of the same model series as the indigo one (there were graphite models in all three series given above, plus one in at least one other model series).
To find out which model series yours belongs to, click the Support tab at the top of any of these pages. On the new page, scroll down, look to the lower right of the page for the section About Your Support Coverage. Enter your machine's serial number in the box, click the Go button.

Printing the help topics to use as a manual for iMac applications?

Is there a way to print out the help topics in their entirity to use as manuals for the various iMac applications? Also, can this be done from a PC?--I only have a decent printer at work, not at home where I have the iMac/

Try another cable, it should work just fine. Remember not all cables are created alike so try using a high quality cable. And closely follow the instructions for using TDM.
Prior to doing so I'd recommend doing SMC and PRAM resets on both machines at least 2-3 times. If you aren't sure how please click https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603

$ for missing iMac manual

I bought my iMac in Dec. 2012 - no manual was sent with it. Years ago,(and I've been with Apple for 30 years) every Mac came with a thick manual. Yesterday, I had a problem with my keyboard. I called Tech Support. Alas, my coverage period was over. I had to pay $19 to find out how to fix it - a simple trick that I did not know about as I had no manual. The support tech was sympathetic and emailed a "manual" to me (published 2009.) This was a short dissertation on the glorius (and I agree) workings of the iMac and how to keep it healthy. No where did I find the info that the tech had told me about. It is sad, when one spends thousands on a computer, that one has either a choice of paying more for extra tech coverage, or buying a book that is authored by an outsider. Tsk-tsk.

I have a late 2012 iMac, and other than how you access the RAM sockets in the 27" model or the ports available, the latter of which is covered in the Quick Start. I can't think of much that wouldn't be the same as in a 2011 model other than the specs. But obviously it will depend on the precise question or issue you need to address.
Apple is never going back to the days of printed manuals, nor will any other computer manufacturer. The costs of producing and shipping are just too high. If you want print, you'll have to look to the independent publishers, and they usually are a bit slow to put out new editions for new computer models.
You can always visit an Apple Store, if there's one near you, for assistance. If you want to have phone support available, you might want to consider purchasing AppleCare for your iMac. That will give you three years of phone support at no extra charge.
Regards.

Manual For Indigo iBook

Does anyone know how I might obtain a manual (online or physical) for an Indigo 366/iBook? The only original iBook manual I can find here is the one for the original blueberry and tangerine iBooks.

Rick,
For technical details online see this site.
Here is the upgrade guide for the 'Paris' clamshells.
If you want the full technical manual; click here.
I can't find an electronic copy of the consumer-level manual though. Personally I don't thing you're missing anything. These manuals assist you in connecting the power supply and switching the Mac on and little more.
(I have the sales spec sheet in PDF form - I downloaded this just before I ordered my iBook 466 back in 2000 - if you want I'll email it to you.)

Manual for Macusers

I have just bought Elements 12. I am a Mac user (iMac and Macbook) and I am searching for a manual Photoshop Elements 12 specially for the Mac. Elements 12 for the Mac has no Dutch version, so I have the English version. I have a manual but that is mainly for Windows and some functions in the Mac version ar probably hidden on different places. So I am desperately looking for a manual for Mac.
Can anybody tell me weather there is one available.

There are no manuals or help files specifically for Mac users. The generic ones are at this link:

If these can't help you then I am afraid you'll have to buy books.

Setup for an iMac G5, a MacBook Pro, and an AirPort Extreme

Any experience I've had with computers was in the early 80s, yes, it is very sad.
I purchased a G5, the laptop, and the AirPort and have been able to set everything up and get everything going. Just amazing.
I've only run into one issue.
I have access to the Internet via a cable modem. My G5 sits on my desk. I would like to continue to use wire with it. I would like to be able to use my laptop in wireless mode.
At present, if I want to switch between machines, I have to unplug the cable from the back of my computer, move it to the AirPort, power down the cable modem box, power it back up, power up the AirPort. Not knowing what I'm doing, it was the only way I could think of to accomplish my goal. It works, but it is a pain.
What can I do so that I have the ability to have the G5 wired and the laptop wireless.
Thanks,
Sheila
P.S. Please type s-l-o-w-l-y and remember I'm new to all of this. : )
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

What can I do so that I have the ability to have the G5 wired and the laptop wireless.
Looks like you already have all the necessary components to do this. The following would be the suggested network configuration with the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn):
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > [WAN port] AEBSn [LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] iMac G5, AND AEBSn > (wireless) > [built-in AirPort Extreme] MacBook Pro
In this configuration, you should be able to access the Internet both via wire for the iMac and wirelessly with the MacBook Pro.
The following would be the basic set up steps, using the AirPort Utility (in Manual mode), for a cable modem connection...
AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBSn) w/Cable Modem
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the Cable modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBSn. (optional)
- (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
Setup the AEBSn

Need a good print manual for Mavericks and/or Mountain Lion

I'm still a print guy even after using Macs for almost 20 years. I have currently have a copy of David Pogue's Mac OS X Leopard Edition of The Missing Manual and have found it quite helpful over the past seven years. I recently have upgraded my Macs to a 21.5" iMac (summer 2013) running Mountain Lion and a MacBook Pro (January 2014) running Mavericks. Would it be helpful to get Pogue's Missing Manual for Mavericks?
I have not yet updated my iMac to Mavericks. I'm a little leery of the "bugs" that folks say are present in Mavericks. As a matter of fact, I am leery of any Apple system updates. I had problems updating a 2007 iMac and more recently my iPad. But that's another story.
How about Pogue's manual?

Mavericks for Dummies is good too. OS X Mavericks For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)): Bob LeVitus: 9781118691885: Amazon.com: Books
Usually, though, all the info I need is already in the Help menu.
For what it's worth, I haven't had any problems with Mavericks. Fast and flawless. Almost without exception, the problems people report on this discussion are from incompatible/old/bad third party software, in particular, the crapware twins, MacKeeper and CleanMyMac, and antivirus software.

Where can I get a manual for OS X Yosemite

I am running Mac OS 10.10.2 on an iMac (24 inch, early 2008) with 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GM, 500 G hard drive.
Where can I get a manual for Yosemite? I have heard there is not one available through Apple. Thanks.

Which antivirus software should i use for my iMac

Hello,
Wondering which antivirus software is recommended by Apple for an iMac?
Thanks,
Lisa C.

VIRUSES
No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
It is possible, however, to pass on a Windows virus to another Windows user, for example through an email attachment. To prevent this all you need is the free anti-virus utility ClamXav, which you can download for Tiger from:
http://www.clamxav.com/download.php#tiger
and for Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion from here:
http://www.clamxav.com/
Note: If you wish to uninstall ClamXav: keep a copy of the disk image from when you downloaded it, or download it again - the uninstaller is included with the application. To uninstall, quit ClamXav Sentry (if you use it) and make sure it's not set to launch at log in. The uninstaller will remove the engine and any schedules you've got set up, then just drag ClamXav.app to the trash.
If you are already using ClamXav: please ensure that you have installed all recent Apple Security Updates and that your version of ClamXav is the latest available.
Do not install Norton Anti-Virus on a Mac as it can seriously damage your operating system. Norton Anti-Virus is not compatible with Apple OS X.
FAKE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE and associated MALWARE
Do not be tricked by 'scareware' that tempts computer users to download fake anti-virus software that may itself be malware.
Fake anti-virus software that infect PCs with malicious code are a growing threat, according to a study by Google. Its analysis of 240m web pages over 13 months showed that fake anti-virus programs accounted for 15% of all malicious software.
Scammers trick people into downloading programs by convincing them that their PC is infected with a virus.
Once installed, the software may steal data or force people to make a payment to register the fake product.
Beware of PDF files from unknown sources. A security firm announced that by its counting, malicious Reader documents made up 80% of all exploits at the end of 2009.:
http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9157438/in which Rogue_PDFs_account_for_80_of_all_exploits_says_researcher
TROJANS and RE-DIRECTION TO FAKE WEBSITES
The appearance of Trojans and other malware that can possibly infect a Mac seems to be growing, but is a completely different issue to viruses.
If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works (by falsely suggesting extra codecs are required for Quicktime) here:
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan_osx_dnschanger.shtml
SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
First update the MacScan malware definitions before scanning. You can also contact their support team for any additional support - [email protected]
The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
(Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
A white paper was published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:
http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?main_page=document_ general_info&cPath=11&products_id=174
Also, beware of MacSweeper and MacDefender (also goes under the name of MacProtector, MacGaurd, MacSecurity or MacShield) :
These are malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer in an attempt to obtain payment.
Mackeeper is equally worthless and should also be avoided. Again, the developer seeks to obtain payment for an application that does nothing that free utilities do not also offer, and in many cases it will also mess up your system.
You can keep up to date, particularly about malware present in some downloadable pirated software, at the Securemac site:
http://www.securemac.com/
HOW TO AVOID RE-DIRECTION
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of added security as well as speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac, and alternatives will probably appear in the future. In the meantime the advice is: be careful where you go on the web and what you download!
WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK YOUR MAC HAS BECOME 'INFECTED'
If you think you may have acquired a Trojan, and you know its name, you can also locate it via the Terminal:
http://theappleblog.com/2009/04/24/mac-botnet-how-to-ensure-you-are-not-part-of- the-problem/
Although any content that you download has the possibility of containing malicious software, practising a bit of care will generally keep you free from the consequences of anything like the DNSChanger trojan.
1. Avoid going to suspect and untrusted Web sites, especially p'orn'ography sites.
2. Check out what you are downloading. Mac OS X asks you for you administrator password to install applications for a reason! Only download media and applications from well-known and trusted Web sites. If you think you may have downloaded suspicious files, read the installer packages and make sure they are legit. If you cannot determine if the program you downloaded is infected, do a quick Internet search and see if any other users reported issues after installing a particular program.
3. Use an antivirus program like ClamXav. If you are in the habit of downloading a lot of media and other files, it may be well worth your while to run those files through this AV application.
4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
5. Peer-to-peer sharing applications and download torrents (such as the now defunct LimeWire) supplying pirated software, movies etc are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications. Similar risks apply to using Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube and similar sites which are prone to malicious hacking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8420233.stm
6. Resist the temptation to download pirated software. They can contain Botnet Trojans. SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/files/iServicesTrojanRemovalTool.dmg
YOUR PRIVACY ON THE INTERNET and the latest risks to look out for:
There is the potential for having your entire email contact list stolen for use for spamming:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/20/technology/internet/20shortcuts.html?_r=1
And if you are using iPhone Apps you are also at risk of losing all privacy:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/03/hacker-claims-third-party-iphone-apps-can-tra nsmit-udid-pose-se/
The advent of HTML5 may also be a future threat to internet privacy:

Security of OS X generally:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is/security.html
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/applemac/I731-007R-2007.pdf
Security Configuration for Version 10.5 Leopard:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Leopard_Security_Config_2nd_Ed.pdf
NOTE: Apple's Snow Leopard and Lion operating systems silently update the malware protection built into Mac OS X to protect against a backdoor Trojan horse that can allow hackers to gain remote control over your treasured iMac or MacBook: Macs running Snow Leopard or Lion now check for new malware definitions daily, allowing Apple to quickly deploy protection from threats before they have a chance to spread.
Few malicious titles actually exist for Mac OS X, and those that do rely almost entirely upon duping users to install software that pretends to be legitimate.
http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2010/06/18/apple-secretly-updates
However, if you are running Lion Server:
Apple's new server operating system -- OS X Lion -- is so inherently insecure that Stamos recommends keeping it off the network altogether and using Macs only as standalone machines connected to IP or Windows networks, not those designed for Macs.
The Mac Server's networking protocols -- especially DHX User Authentication -- are designed for ease of use, not security. It is trivial, Stamos said, for hackers to set up a Mac user to download a file that will overflow the buffer protecting the heap segment of the server's memory, allowing the file's malicious payload to run uncontrolled in the server's memory and give itself whatever access rights it wants.

How can I tell which kind of RAM is correct for my iMac G5?

How can I tell what kind of RAM chips are correct for my iMac G5? It has two slots and can take up to 1 Gb each slot. I would like to get Newegg chips, and want to make sure I order the correct ones.
Also, do you know a website where I can find out how to install them?

That information is in your computer's user manual. If you no longer have one then you can download it at support.apple.com/manuals/. Or you can visit DataMem where they have a Mac chart of which products are needed for different Mac models.

IBook graphite 466 SE survived a year in Iraq....

I am a SSgt in the United States Marine Corps and I just recently returned from a 1 year tour in Iraq. I bought my clamshell off ebay and had it shipped to me in Iraq. I then upgraded the ram to 576 and installed OS X tiger on it... I was a military advisor to the Iraqi Army and used the clamshell every day to work on admin issues with them. Last March my hummer hit an IED (Roadside Bomb). The clamshell was inside the hummer in its matching mac case. I was the gunner and sustained minor injuries. The clamshell however survived with only a minor hairline crack above the ethernet port. All the marines could not believe how durable my 6 year old clamshell was. Since then I upgraded to a 120 GB hard drive and it still runs awesome. The clamshell iBooks are DEFINELTY combat proven!!!!!!!!!
iBook SE Graphite 466 FireWire Mac OS X (10.4.8) 576 MB RAM, 120GB Hard Drive, Airport

Staff,
Great news! A year is a long time out there. I truly hope it was a Graphite and not a KeyLime; I can't see KeyLime suiting the USMC image.
yours aye,
