  • Upgrading iMac G3 400 DVD slot-loader to Tiger

    My iMac's hard drive is dying and have purchased a brand new Seagate Barracuda 7200 8MB cache 120GB ATA IDE hard drive on eBay to replace it (haven't received it yet). Also am going to replace the PRAM battery and add 256MB of RAM. The Mac currently only has 64MB of RAM in it!! Will add more RAM when I can afford to...
    I have checked the System Profile before the hard drive gives up the ghost and the firmware will need updated. The Mac has OS 9.0 on it. Had to buy a OS 9.0 full version disk on eBay (to install on the new drive) and happened to find the 9.2.1 update CD at a garage sale last year! Have downloaded the 9.2.2 update from the Apple website.
    After I replace the hard drive and install OS 9.0, the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updates and the firmware update, here is my question:
    Can Tiger be installed after the above installations, or would I have to install Jaguar (that's the other version of OS X I have on hand) before Tiger can be installed?
    I want to use the iMac as an "all-in-one" DVD player for the most part. Tried playing a DVD on it before the factory hard drive started messing up again, but it couldn't find the video card or something. Am sure the hard drive is losing files as it's slowly dying...
    Thanks.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    It's far better to start your own thread then resurrect one from the end of last year - if you do you'll get several opinions.
    10.2.8 is a useable OS and if you have no legacy OS9 applications then you don't need to keep the OS 9 System Folder or Applications (the former of which allows OS X to run Classic mode). Just delete them. Before you delete OS 9 boot in to it ( Apple Menu > System Preferences... > Startup Disk ) and ensure that you have installed this firmware update (link). Technically it is required prior to OS X but will cause serious harm if you go above 10.2.8 without it. After that you can delete OS 9.
    This iMac is going to be a pretty lean and not so mean iMovie machine. You might wish to consider giving her the full 1Gb of RAM and 128Gb Hard Drive.

  • Memory Upgrade on Mid 2010 imac

    Hi
    I just want to expand my iMac's 4GB to 6GB, but simply just adding 2GB on a slot is said it won't support dual-channel, slows performance, so my idea is 2x1GB for the slots, but the Documentation said that the iMac will only support 2GB and 4GB. Mmm, still does 1x2GB still work? Anyone tried? Because I don't need 2x2 GB RAMs, ending up with 8GB- too much. 6GB will just fit.
    Thanks

    Just surf to http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2010/DDR321.527 and make your decision.
    Memory prices are stupidly low right now.

  • Which SDRAM upgrade for my old imac?

    I'd like to upgrade my imac sdram to as much as it can hold. Here are the specs:
    Imac version = 22.14
    Mem 348 MB
    Proc. 500 MHZ PowerPC G3
    I think it is 1983-2003
    I have one stick at 256 SDRAM and one is the one that came with it. I've had one store tell me I need PC100 and others tell me pC133 and I'm all confused!
    So my questions: what is the exact type I need and how far up can I go? Is it only two 256 sticks(cards).... thankx yvonne

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58007
    It can hold a maximum of 2 X PC100, 3.3V, 168-pin DIMM 512MB modules. Note it must be non-eec.
    If your 500 Mhz model has a CD+RW drive (A 2001 model) then according to the Apple specs it will also take (low density) PC133 RAM. The RAM will slow down to PC100 speeds though.
    I'm not sure if PC133 will work on the non-2001 iMac slot loaders as I've only tried PC133 RAM on the models Apple support it with (works fine).
    If you want sure support just go PC100.

  • Turning iMac DV 400 (G3 slot loader) on via the Apple Pro keyboard?

    I was looking at my iMac's Lowendmac profile (located here: http://lowendmac.com/imacs/400.shtml) when I noticed right at the bottom of the page under "Cautions" it mentions:
    "You must have the keyboard plugged directly into an iMac USB port to boot with the power key (Eject on the Apple Pro Keyboard); it will not work if the keyboard is attached to a hub."
    I never knew this. Before I got the iMac I had an old slow Performa LC630 and it did have a power key on the keyboard so when I went to the iMac I was a bit miffed to find the Pro keyboard didn't have such a feature (not that it mattered a great deal of course, I just always liked power buttons being on the keyboard).
    Reading this bit of info though obviously made me excited since in all these years that I've owned the iMac I never knew it could be turned on by pressing eject.
    I tried it. Nothing happened. The keyboard is plugged into the main USB panel on the actual iMac too, I tried both slots. No ball. Pressing the eject button doesn't turn the iMac on.
    Is this article simply incorrect or is there something I'm missing?

    Perhaps the article meant to indicate that those Apple USB keyboards having a power button and the Apple Pro keyboard having the media Eject key must be plugged directly into the computer's USB port and not into a hub, for functionality of those keys. If the Eject key served the same purpose as a Power button, I'd expect to get a prompt asking if I'd like to shut down the computer, every time I ejected a disk. I just connected a Pro keyboard to my iMac DV, and pressing the Eject key didn't power ON the computer.

  • Airport Card Not Recognized on iMac DV 400 SE Slot Loading

    I just installed an airport card with adapter per Apple's instructions. It is not recognized in the Network list in System preferences. Internal Modem is listed as well as Built-in-Ethernet (with an active Internet connection). Has 10.3.9 and the latest Airport software updates.
    It was taken from a working iMac and installed in my iMac. Any idea what the problem might be?

    Will do. Thanks for the advice.
    This computer is somewhat of a cultural icon. One of the first computers configured out of the box for video editing. On a Contour stand, 130 Gb HD, 1 GM ram. Still very functional after 8 1/2 years. Looks great in the studio. Just wanted to wean it from it's ethernet connection.

  • Trying to update firmware on old Imac

    I have an old Imac DV Special Edition, slot loading
    I am currently running on OS X 10.2.8.
    I bought the Tiger OS X.4 software, and am attempting to install it when it says I need to update my firmware.
    When I run software update, all I get is Ipod Updater to load.
    How do I find out what firmware I need, when I look on the Apple website, I find old stuff, I upgraded to 10.2 in 2003
    and the firmware updates go back to 1999, before I even bought the machine, how do I find out what updates to firmware I need?
    Apple's web pages for the old machines are not very clear, I know I'm probably asing for too much, maybe time to buy a new machine.

    Unfortunately you can't update the firmware in OSX. The idea was that it should be applied prior to any OS X upgrade. You should boot into/install OS 9 and the update to this version: 4.1.9 (link). 
    Do you have plenty of RAM? Tiger will want it.

  • Memory upgrade is not available for my iMac (2009 Fall edition). Where else can I purchase this?!

    Apparently, Apple does not have the memory upgrades for my older iMac available. Does anyone know where else I can acquire this? with all the new OS upgrades, my beloved machine is starting to get really slow.

    If there is a micro center store in your area, they carry crucil memory for the mac  , BUT make sure you get or order the correct memory  (crucial will have the specs or check your about this mac will also tally what memory you have now)

  • Transferring everything from old imac G3 to new mac

    I don't know much about computers, so sorry if this is a stupid question... I have an old imac G3 which I bought new in 1999 or 2000. It is system 9. I don't use it anymore and it's not hooked up to the internet. I do have a lot of important pictures and documents on it. I'm planning on buying a new mac one of these days (don't know exactly which model yet but probably a laptop) and I want to know if all my old documents and files will be able to go straight onto any new mac with the latest OS. My documents are in microsoft word, whatever version of it was around 7 years ago. I have an external disk drive for my imac which plugs in with a USB port. My files are backed up on disks with this disk drive and I guess this would be how I transfer the files to a new computer. Would an external disk drive with old software for system 9 also work on a new system? Basically my question is, does any old software or application for system 9 also work on system 10?

    In addition to the examples that Eustace provided, I recently found that AppleWorks v6 that was bundled with many iMacs will also run under OSX. My daughter had immediate need of a computer and no money to buy a new one. I upgraded our unused old iMac 400DV to Panther and added a larger hard drive. As I had no additional licenses for Office and my daughter needed a WP program, I restored AppleWorks from the iMac restore CD to the OS9 partition I made on the new drive.
    When I launched AppleWorks, it opened in X, not "Classic." It had a few problems but it basically worked That version was 6.0.4 and the update to v6.2.9 available here cleared up all the little problems.
    Upgrading an office computer to one that ran OSX showed me that any MS Office document created with Office 98 (OS9) would open just fine with Office 2004 (OSX). When you save the document it automatically converts it to the later version unless you tell it not to.

  • Safari problems on iMac G3 slot-loading CRT

    I'm posting here because I haven't been able to get a satisfactory solution to the problem on the Safari discussion board. Here goes.
    I recently upgraded my son's iMac DV (A G3 processor) to OS X 10.3.9. Was having trouble launching Safari 1.3. It would start to launch and then quit. Here's the chain of events of fixes I've tried:
    1) Machine -- iMac DV (G3) w/ slot loading drive -- was running OS 9.2.2 I tried to upgrade it to 10.3 with Panther discs. It told me I needed a firmware update, which I installed, then upgraded from the disc. Firmnware is now listed at 4.1.9f1 (Anybody know if this is as it should be?)
    2) I then upgraded further with a 10.3.9 Combo download, which installed Safari 1.3. However, when I double-click the Safari icon, it won't open. Nor will it allow me to upgrade to 1.3.1 or 1.3.2.
    3) I then downloaded Safari 1.2 again and re-installed that. That seemed to work and at least allowed me to get on the Web. But now, I'm back at version 1.2.
    4) I tried repairing permissions. No go.
    5) In desparation, I performed an Erase and Install of the system software from the Panther discs and got it back to 10.3.9 via the combo download. It then allowed me to update Safari to 1.3.1 and then 1.3.2, but it still won't launch.
    I did the same thing to my daughter's iMac G3 and it all went fine. Only difference was, I was upgrading her from OS 10.2.8 and when I did, it did not ask me for a firmware update.
    Any suggestions anyone?

    Jamie,
    Not being sure of what was suggested in the Safari forums....a few questions.....
    * When you were able to get Safari to 1.3.1 did this open ok and just not 1.3.2?
    * Not sure if it will help much but did you try trashing the Safari .plist file after downloading 1.3.2 (found @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist) to see if that would help?
    * Have you checked out Dr. Smoke's X-Lab FAQ for Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch?
    Personally, I doubt the firmware update (and yes that is the correct version you are showing) is to blame for the Safari failure but someone else may see it differently.

  • Memory upgrade on iMac (Late 2006)

    I want to upgrade the memory on my iMac (Late 2006). My present memory is 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I am getting that information from the System Profiler. That (one) module is in one Memory Slot, and the other Memory Slot is empty.
    The manual says the following:
    +Your iMac comes with at least 1 GB of Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Synchronous+
    +Dynamic Random Access (SDRAM) memory installed. You can add 1 or 2 gigabyte (GB)+
    +memory modules for a maximum of 3 GB of memory. Memory modules must meet the+
    +following specifications:+
    +* Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) format+
    +* 667 MHz, PC2-5300, DDR2 compliant (also referred to as DDR2 667)+
    +* Unbuffered and unregistered+
    And it also says the following:
    +Your iMac has a top slot and a bottom memory slot. You can add a memory module to+
    +the bottom slot and remove the memory module in the top slot to replace the+
    +installed memory. You can add a 1 GB or 2 GB memory module for a maximum of 3 GB+
    +of memory.+
    I guess I should just do as Apple suggests and add a 2GB module to the other memory slot, to maximize the total memory in the computer at 3GB. But does anybody have any alternative experiences or suggestions? Should I perhaps add another 1GB module to the other Memory Slot so that they are both equal? Has anybody tried adding 2GB to each Memory Slot? What happens? It seems odd or unbalanced to have a 1GB module and a 2GB module as Apple suggests. Any opinions from people experienced in this would be welcome, and I thank you in advance.

    Hi rosalarose
    To check how much memory you have and your memory usage go to: Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor and select System Memory.
    Your problem sounds more like a Software problem with Safari than a Hardware issue with the Memory. Instead of piggybacking on someone else's thread you should post a New Topic of your own here or in the Safari section of the Forum with a more detailed explanation of your problem.

  • Memory upgrade on iMac G3 700, help with system crashes

    I tried to do a memory upgrade on my iMac, so I bought two kingston 256 MB PC133 modules, but none will work, the system starts, but hangs in about two minutes after loading the desktop. I went back to use the older memory module wich is an spectek, but I need the upgrade, any ideas?
    Thanks!
    FedericoMG.
    Ps: Sorry about my english... I'm from Argentina... :-P

    Hi Federicomg
    The iMac 700 G3 should have been supplied with 1 stick of 256mb ram. However which is the correct type i am not sure as the Apple specifications for this model state PC100 whereas my iMac G3 700 graphite was supplied with 256 MB PC133-333 SDRAM
    http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacSummer2001.html
    Apple profiler from my iMac this is the original supplied RAM from Apple:-
    DIMM0/J13: Size: 256 MB
    Type: SDRAM
    Speed: PC133-333
    1) I would re-instal the original ram and open system profiler to see what type the ram is.
    2) Keeping the original stick in place add another stick of the new ram and look again in profiler to see if its recognised and again try the second stick to see if there's a problem with one of the sticks.
    I am currently running my iMac with a small upgrade of RAM and the additional RAM is 128MB of PC100 and i have noticed the performance improvement since adding the PC100 so it's working and i have suffered no ill effects doing this..

  • Memory upgrade fail - Kernel panic after put old memories back

    I People, this is my first post here and unfortunately is to report a problem, not to help friends.
    I did an memory upgrade last weekend. After this, he will not boot normally, only in safe mode.
    I discovered that they sent me 1333Mhz memories, and my mac (mid 2009) supports only 1066Mhz.
    I put the old memories again, however I believe that the system did not recognize.
    As you can see below, the system recognizes two modules:
    Memory Module: BANK 0/DIMM0, 4 GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz, 0x80CE, 0x4D34373142353237334448302D4348392020
    Memory Module: BANK 1/DIMM0, 4 GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz, 0x80CE, 0x4D34373142353637334648302D4346382020
    It is not true, I' using now 2 x 2GB, DDR3, 1067 Mhz (stock)
    I tried to reinstall the system, but when I try, I got crash again.
    how can I solve this issue?

    Hi BGreg,
    I already reset the PRAM as you said.
    I've cleaned the memory modules as indicated by Linc above.
    Today I formatted my harddrive to try a clean install, but system crashs after 5%, 10%.
    There is something making me worried:
    In one of my tries, I opened the system view to check my actual hardware configuration, and to my surprise, the system shows me 8GB installed. Cannot be. I have 2 x 2GB.
    Where my system stores this information? There is a way to reset it? I tried last hour install the snow leopard, that cames with my mac, by DVD, but does not worked too.
    Thank you all so far.
    Giuliano

  • Memory upgrade on a early 2008 iMac

    Hi, I have a early 2008 24" iMac with 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. 
    I have read conflicting information here vs. Apple support site and would just like some advise and possibly answers from someone who has my computer that has done a succesful upgrade.  I would obviously like to upgrade as high as I can.  Apple says the Max I can have is 4 GB, but I have read that the real size is 6 GB.  Which is it? 
    Also, does anyone know of a specifc Ram that wont break the bank but is still good?
    Thanks!

    Many people on these forums speak well of the following suppliers.
    Can't tell where you come from but ...
    In North America contact OWC …        Upgrade Apple iMac Memory
    In Europe contact Crucial.com  …       RAM Memory Upgrade
    Both companies have facilities to guide you and will recommend the correct memory package to meet whatever needs you describe to them.  
    There may be benefits buying from your own geographical location insofar as Shipping charges, Local sales taxes and Exchange rates.  Check out the basic memory costs and do your sums.
    Guide to required RAM.    Lookup Mac Specs By Serial Number, Order, Model & EMC Number, Model ID @ EveryMac.com
    I think you can use 6GB on that machine.

    Install more RAM in the computer; the Mac needs to have at least 2GB of RAM and should have 4GB or more first.
