Need 867 MHz G4 to run Leopard! Dang!

As per rumor, we will need a 867 MHz G4 with 512MB RAM and 9 gig of available disk space to run Leopard. Any one wanna trade?
Cheers! DALE

Hi Simon,
The only Mac we've shed was a "pre-owned" Performa 6200/75, the Mac that got four Road Apples from LowEndMac. Had I known it was going to be a giraffe (a horse built by a committee) I'd never had bought it (explains the cheap price). Our 6100/60 was MUCH faster than the 6200. Still, the 6200 let us limp through a difficult period until I got the first beige G3 in 1999 (still have and use).
I parted out the 6200; it was such a poor ambassador that I didn't want some other poor sod ending up with a bad MacTaste in his mouth!

  • 867 MHZ and OS X Leopard

    I have a Mac Power PC 867 MHZ, 2M L3 Cache, 640 MB of SDRAM. I am currently running OS X 10.3.9. and would like to upgrade to OS X Leopard. Has anyone done this on their computer and did you run into any issues. I would like to upgrade my software next year and need to have the current OS X to do so. I do a lot of graphics work and run Quark, Adobe CS2, Word and Acrobate.
    Any advice??????

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    Leopard would install, but your RAM is very low. It should be maximized, esp. since your processor speed is so low and you use graphic-intensive apps. Even then it might run very sluggishly.
    Also, many of those apps you list won't run under Leopard. They would probably have to be updated or replaced.

  • Can I get an upgrade from 667 MHz to 867 MHz for a PowerBook G4?

    I'd like to use my old PowerBook to support an iPod Touch for a family member, but need to install Leopard to do that. I bought a new copy of the OS for this but can't get it to install and now see that I need 867 MHz and have 667. What to do?

    The deal-breaker may not be the processor but the lack of USB 2.0 on the older PowerBooks. Newer iPods require USB 2.0 and a 667mHz PBG4 has USB 1.1.
    You can use a Cardbus adaptor to provide USB 2.0, like this:
    IOGEAR Hi-Speed USB 2.0 CardBus 2 Port USB 2.0 for Laptops
    These are getting harder to find as newer computers ship with USB 2.0 capability.
    FWIW, I recently bought Leo by calling the Apple Store and installed in on a Powermac G4 1.25Ghz with 1.75G of RAM and a 64MB VRAM video card. It is not very limber compared to Tiger on the same machine, Even if you use the installer hack, I'm afraid you will have an mostly unusable computer.

  • Anyone running Leopard on an 867 Mhz computer?

    I've got a Titanium G4 867 Mhz and I'm wondering if Leopard will run
    decently on my machine or not. I know that it meets the minimum system requirements but if it runs poorly it's not worth it.
    Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

    Hey There,
    I just installed Leopard on both of my G4 powerbooks last night. One is a titanium 667mhz DVI and the other a 667mhz titanium Vga model... I tricked out the installer into believing i had a 1ghz cpu by using openfirmware before i inserted the install dvd which I purchased at my local Apple store. If you want me to tell you how let me know. I had a few problems do to the consitency of my previous Tiger drive. I had to reinstall it a couple of times which honestly was a pain in the behind. When I totally erased the hard drives and installed fresh new Leopard It was a success. The very first boot was reall slow as expected. When leopard opened up for the very first time after all the welcome stuff and registration, It was a lot slower then tiger to my surprise which didnt make me to happy after all of those long hours of install after install. So I decide to go to the upgrades menu and check for upgrades. Once I installed the leopard 10.5.1 upgrade it was Way faster then my tiger ever was. I really don't see why Leopard needs at least an 887mhz because it runs Superbly on my 667mhz. And I've messed with everything already with massive multitasking to really see stabillity and It is better then tiger at least for me. The trick is A CLEAN install with No previous data from tiger. and then after install just manually transfer documenst and applications if you like But def not the user data especially if your tiger was modified in anyway shape or form by you.

  • I currently am running leopard, what do I need to get mountain lion

    What upgrades do I need to be able to run Mountain Lion?  I have the Macbook 2.1, but am reunning leopard.  Do I have to purchase the snow leopard, lion then mountain lion?  I am a new MAC user, and am just trying to see.  It says on the website I have to be running Lion.  If I read that correctly, I have to purchase 2 previous updates before I can update to Mountain Lion.  Is this correct?

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

  • I have a 5 year old MBP, 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 1GB MHz, DDR2 SDRAM, running Snow Leopard, 10.6.8.

    I have a 5 year old MBP, 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 1GB MHz, DDR2 SDRAM, running Snow Leopard, 10.6.8.
    I use wireless to connect to the Internet and everything works fine when I sign on.  After being on line for awhile and my remaining battery power at about 60%, I lose connectivity.  I turn off Airport, restart it, and I am asked for my secure password.  I enter the password but cannot reconnect.  So, I shut down the computer for 5 to 10 minutes, restart, and everything works great again.
    Has anyone experienced this behavior and do you have any suggestions as to what is causing the problem.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.
    Lowell

    I think I hit the wrong key ... so here it is again!
    Thank you ...  I keep seeing this i5 and i7 processor mentioned and it is also recommeded that I stream using it. Do you have any suggestions on which MacBook would serve me better? Or is there an upgrade of any kind that will help me?
    Thanks again.

  • I am running Leopard OS X 10.5.8.  I want to upgrade to Lion.  Do I need to download Snow Leopard first?

    I am running Leopard OS X 10.5.8.  I want to upgrade to Lion.  Do I need to download Snoe Leopard first? 
    Thanks

    I cannot make that determination for you. Snow Leopard is not available as a download. You have to purchase it at an Apple Store or order it online. Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later is required to purchase and download Lion from the App Store. Total cost would be $59.00 exclusive of tax and shipping (if any.)
    Sometime this month Apple plans to make available a USB flash drive containing the full standalone Lion installe for $69.00. If you did not want Snow Leopard then you may want to wait for this to be available.

  • IChat screen sharing under Leopard; do all Mac need to be running Leopard?

    Or will it work even if they are running Tiger, as long as I'm running Leopard? Note that this feature is new, I believe, with Leopard. Also, how is this feature different from Apple's Remote Desktop utility?
    Thanks!
    Bruce

    Screen sharing via iChat requires that both machines to be on Leopard. You can connect and run another Tiger machine on the same network by connecting to it. You need to set/turn on the Apple Remote Desktop option from the System Preferences/Sharing on the Macs running Tiger. You then should be able to control the Tiger mac from the leopard machine. I don't think it will work the other way.

  • In Praise of the Quicksilver 2001 - 867 MHz

    Yes, I have newer machines but this one has been working very, very well for over six years and I decided that I was not going to let it go and not give it the Leopard treatment. I find it amazing how well it is working with all the current system updates, a process that would cripple any older PC. I was a little concerned to find that now this machine is at the bottom of the Leopard food chain, but I did a backup on an external if I had to find my way back to Tiger.
    Over the course of time I made some changes. I swapped out the 32 MB ATI Graphics card for a 128 MB model three years ago (Core Image as software though); I swapped out the 60 GB hard drive with a 120 MB model (largest this machine can take); and I added a PCI (SATA) card that allowed me to install a 250 MB internal as well. I also added an Airport (not extreme) Card to connect to the local network. The machine was built with 1.12 GB of RAM.
    The installation seemed to go well, about an hour or so overall (I believe this machine has a 4x DVD read). Of course I had the issue with the Login based on 10.1 or earlier and found this right after my login after the installation. I had to do a new keychain, but (although a little inconvenient) it was fairly easy to do.
    The first thing I noticed is that the icons for the PCI card connected drives had changed. Before they looked like the main hard drive, now they are orange and are similar to the FireWire attached drives. Everything seems faster than Tiger, and that is quite impressive on an over six year old machine. Safari is snappier than ever. Mail is fast as well. I don't miss the Spotlight delay while typing at all. Quick Look and the additions to viewing files in the Finder work fine and are very useful.
    My menu bar is not transparent (not enough GPU power?), so for some detractors this may be a good thing, but it doesn't detract from the use at all. I'm a left-side dock person and I liked the original design that looked like when it was on the bottom, but the current configuration is OK and the lights for active programs are very easy to see. It seems to be using up more RAM than previously, but I'll have to keep watching that and see if it's overall or just certain things.
    Overall my rating of this effort is a big success, and I'm sure I'd find it harder and harder to live without Leopard each day if I did not upgrade this machine. I'm not expecting this machine to act like a top of the line model, but with it's new spots, this mature machine has a lot of life left in it!
    Some things I've tried so far (not in great detail, just briefly):
    Photoshop CS seems to work.
    Filemaker 8.5 seems to work.
    Rise of Nations seems to work (maybe a tad slower in some respects, but barely noticeable)
    Word seemed to work, although it seemed a bit cranky when initially highlighting text and moving windows.
    Still bonding with Stacks, seems useful but requires some mindset adjustment, but it is faster than having the Application Folder in the Dock and holding it down for a menu of the contents. It would be nicer if you just saw a folder though and not the first application icon in the dock.
    Spaces are definitely Cool!
    Preview (4.0) has an odd crash after adjusting colors and trying to save
    Disk Utility (11.0) takes a while to repair permissions and only give the rotating status bar while doing so.
    So here are some thoughts from the bottom edge of the Leopard territory -- and they are good! And I still have a lot of testing to do yet.

    Well, it's been a month with Leopard and I like it very much, but on this machine I not quite "sold" as of yet. I'm hoping future updates round off the rough edges and put the past spark into all aspects of the machine.
    I really like Spaces, CoverFlow and QuickLook.
    I really don't like the Preview Crash, Disk Utility Speed and Indication, Hunger for RAM, and the "Little Stall".
    The Preview crash still happens when adjusting and trying to save, but this is happening among a large number of different machines so it may be with the GPU and Leopard coding.
    Disk Utility still takes longer than Tiger in repairing permissions and the graphical indicator of the task is still not fully corrected yet.
    RAM seems to be more of an issue than it ever was with Tiger. I've got 1.125 GB well within the requirement, but at times it seems to get taken up more frequently than under Tiger. While running Tiger I never had to check what was using what RAM with Activity Monitor. It seems that more stays active with Leopard as with Tiger the active was always somewhere between 25% to 40% of RAM, and the inactive was at least that much or more, but active would slim down and inactive (less yellow than blue - on Activity Monitor standard colors) would increase, but never any slowdowns with this scheme. With the same amount of applications running in Leopard, the yellow (active) will work it's way up to half with very little blue (inactive). Over time if you leave the machine on and sleep more RAM will kept getting taken up. From my observations it seems to be Safari, which starts out at about 50-80 MB for five tabs, but overtime and surfing it will balloon up to over 300 MB and it makes more sense to quit and restart Safari to get back more RAM. I thought it might be related to Spaces, but I turned it off and the RAM usage was the same. I always expected Leopard to use more of the RAM, but I think there must be some optimizations that can be done to make better use of what is available and to curtail Safari's thirst for memory. Make no mistake, Safari is a great browser; and is my number one choice.
    The "Little Stall" (using a Seinfeld-esque slant at naming) is also a result of Leopard I'd like to see the last of. While running the new screen savers "Shell" or "Arabesque" or using any of the iTunes Visualizer (including the original), the effect will run for about three seconds then they're be a "little stall" of about half of a second and it will continue for three seconds and on. It almost seems like there is some disk usage or caching involved and seems odd as I have 128 MB of Video RAM (ATI Radeon 9000 Pro). Could it be that even with 128 MB that Core Image is being done as software and not hardware is causing the the "Little Stall"? I find that hard to believe that this is how the effects are supposed to work on a machine with a non-programable GPU, since there are a number of machines that are well within Leopards requirements that have non-programable GPU's. How many iBooks and other machines are out there with 32 MB GPU's of the same type? I'm hoping that future updates will bring us updated ATI drivers that allow Leopard to take advantage of the same things Tiger could without issue.
    All that said, I have Tiger on a backup drive with a complete backup of the drive when I did the upgrade, and I booted up in it the other day to update my Mail if I decide to take this machine back to Tiger and concede on Leopard. As I was working in Tiger, it was as good as I remembered, but in the end I was really missing some of the Leopard features. So I'm keeping Leopard (updating Tiger mail as a fail safe) and hoping future updates will take the Leopard experience on the Quicksilver 2001 - 867 MHz to where it needs to be.
    So in the end, I'm a bit torn between what I had, what I have, and keeping hope for what I will get in the end. I'm a few tweaks away from true happiness, but the wait is excruciating.... I know I'm not alone, so let's hope the tweaks and fixes come fast and furious.

  • Increasing speed and power on G4 to run Leopard

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an old 533MHz Power PC G4 with 384 MB SDRAMM. I bought this computer back in 2000. I am trying to increase it's processing power to accommodate Leopard. My purposes are to use it as a node machine running alongside my 4x2.5 GHz PPC G5 with 16 GB DDR2 SDRAMM, while running Logic and I can't do that unless they are both running the same operating systems. My questions are as follows:
    1) Can I pull the memory in my G4 and replace it with the memory that I pulled out of my G5 some
    months back? (Wishful Thinking)!?
    2) If question one is not an option, could someone please direct me to the absolute best solution for increasing my G4's processing power so that I may use it as an effective node machine?
    As always, thanks to the forum in advance.
    Chad

    Here's the spec sheet on your G4 http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg4/stats/powermac_g4533.html
    #1 - No. The G4 uses PC133 RAM.
    #2 - Here's the *Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements*
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    You could add a faster processor (not cheap), since a processor speed of at least 867 MHz is required. Also you would need to add RAM, as 512MB is the minimum, but 1GB is really needed.
    You would be better off getting a used G4 MDD with at least a 1GHz processor.
     Cheers, Tom

  • QS 867 Mhz processor in a QS 2002 motherboard??

    Hi there.
    I'm trying to get a Quicksilver 867 Mhz processor (with L3 cache) to run in a Quicksilver 2002 motherboard, but it ain't working. I've been pretty consistent in my troubleshooting, but before I toss it out (or try soldering the L3 cache onto a QS 733 mhz cpu... muhaaahhuuhhahhh), I'd thought I'd throw this out for some feedback in these lovely discussion pages.
    I did earlier get this cpu to run on a Digital Audio motherboard and it booted up no problem - even the L3 cache was recognized. But it was unstable (unstable, but very fast...). I had originally thought that the motherboard was faulty (I got the exact same errors with the original 466 mhz cpu and a QS 733 mhz cpu - both a digital audio and a quicksilver psu have checked out ok in a different machine). I went through much trouble, troubleshooting, and eventually got a new/used Quicksilver motherboard, only to find out that the actual trouble-maker was a piece of RAM. Which was very insidious, because the mac(s) booted okay (the system profiler even said it passed), it only caused problems when I'd open certain applications, such as Firefox or System Preferences (which would eventually crash), or tried to do a new OS install or did a software update (none of which would complete, either in panther or tiger). I'm thinking it might have been a high density piece of ram that got pass me. I think Techtool said there was a problem with a piece of RAM earlier, but I thought it was refering to the new piece of 512mb (which had come from another quicksilver) and I tested that piece in other machines and it was fine, so I discounted it as the source of the errors. It turned out to be a piece I already had (256 mb hynix) and which I thought I'd used before with no problems, but I guess not (I had a couple of extra sticks).
    Anyway, back to the current problem, now even with the new (tested) quicksilver board (it's a 2002 - but that shouldn't matter), the QS 867 mhz processor won't work and I don't know why! It did run in the digital audio board, only exhibiting the same errors as the other cpu's due to the bad piece of ram. It hasn't been treated any differently than the other 3 processors I used testing, in fact, probably even more carefully, and they are all ok.
    It sometimes will boot to the apple OS X icon but stays there. I also get either a single beep, two beeps, three beeps, four beeps or no beeps at all (ie no power light, just the red light of the board, fans running, etc). I don't know if it got damaged earlier when testing (I did try it on another digital audio motherboard that I think was damaged in shipping), but I'm very careful (and have done a lot of computer updgrading, peecee and mac). The only thing I can think of is that when I first plugged this cpu into the latest QS motherboard, I tried to boot up without putting the heatsink on it first (not sure if this is important or not, it got hot but so did the 733mhz cpu which I'm using now - and nothing smells burned). I heard two little pop sounds, then the computer shut down (as it did before... many times with the other motherboard). I did also find out later that one of the cpu mounting posts wasn't tight to the board (it had snapped from the screw when I tightened it - didn't know my own strength), but usually no contact to the board would just cause no response, not a short to the cpu - and once again, the 733mhz cpu which is fine, went thru the same thing. I did get it to boot after this to the apple os x icon (I let it sit for a day). The motherboard is fine - I'm running from it now with the QS 733 mhz processor (and from whence I troubleshooted the bad piece of ram). And I've methodically zapped pram, reset the pmu, removed/changed batteries, took this part out, put that part in, threatened, cajoled, even sang to it... til I'm literally blue in the face - to no avail!
    Any suggestions? Or it this processor fried? Or is there something I'm missing (maybe in regards to the QS 2002 motherboard)? I've searched and nothing comes up that I have to do differently, and when I put the old 733 mhz cpu back in it (not changing anything else), everything runs fine (a lot slower, but fine, as I wipe a regretful tear away).
    Thanks for any input.

    This configuration has been running stably using the QS 733 Mhz processor (and ran stably before with an earlier qs motherboard in a different machine). So unless there is something different with the 2002 motherboard, and all research indicated it completely backward compatible, nothing I have installed is causing the problem. I have stripped the machine(s) down to the original configurations at some point, and...

    Can anyone tell if it would?
    Yes, if it fits into the slot.
    She was asking me if their is a way that a password can be put on the system to prevent him from getting into the Mac?
    Use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to disable automatic login and log out or use Fast User Switching to change to another account as needed.

  • Intel and Lion simply isnt having anything to do with my p   ower mac pro G5 running leopard 10.5.8, How can i get Lion to accomodate my media files  at least?

    I upgraded from my
    mac pro power pc, G5 ( running leopard 10.5.8 combo update)
    to
    an Intel iMac Running Lion,
    after failing to move my data with migration assist, then target disk mode - i phoned Apple - which said id need an external drive. 
    I used time machine to copy my user data from my G5.  However Lion will not recognize the external drive.
    Ive been at this for a few days and anxious to expedite the move, mostly photos, and media files.
    If Re-formatting is the only way.....is there a way to  do so without another day of re-copying by firewire.
    The external drive is a Ciel Lx , recomended to me by apple.
    Any one else making the move from power to intel? Havent found much posted recently.

    So we know more about it...
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...
