Need IMac G5 1.8 Ghz 17 inch Rev A midplane replacement manual

Hello everyone,
I bough my IMac since Dec 2004. The cpu fan procudes buzz noise since day one. I have had my midplane changed by an Apple dealer but the cpu fan noise is still there. I rarely use my IMac because I cannot bare the buzz noise. I have reseted PRAM, reinstall OS X but it does not help. I have opened the IMac's cover and disconnected the cpu fan cable, the buzz noise was gone. I want to take away the cpu fan and put in a new fan (perhaps a fan from a graphic card).
I could not take the whole midplane out of the IMac and I do not want to use force to pull the midplane. I cannot find the Do It yourself manual for this model anymore. Is there anyone who still have the midplane replacement manual for IMac G5 1.8 Ghz 17 inch Rev A (Super drive)?
Thank a lot

Brand New iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Intel 2 Core Extreme 500 GB Hard Drive Issues

Had a 2 week old iMac 20" 2.4 GHz 320 GB hard drive that I purchased from the Apple Store online on 12/09/07. Got delivered to me on 12/13/07. After 7 calls (on 7 different days) to Apple Care Support, my iMac could not get onto the internet network in my apartment.
Had Apple swap my unit and I got the top of the line model out there now, the iMac 24" 2.8 GHz Intel 2 Core Duo Extreme with 500 GB hard drive. Still, can't connect to the internet.
I've got Time Warner Cable as my internet service provider (High Speed Internet Access). I'm using a brand new Airport Extreme as my base station in the living room, and a brand new (all exchanged through AppleCare) Airport Express which I'm using to extend the network as a bridge.
My new iMac is in the study den in my apartment, and my MacBook Pro gets signal from anywhere in the apartment, but when I use the iMac, and click on my secure network using the WPA2 passcode that I set up, the iMac tries to connect, and says "Connection Time Out" and then "Connection Fail."
I've read posts throughout these forums saying that there are issues with the new aluminum iMacs that came out.
I'm running Leopard 10.5.1 on both machines right now, and even with the swap from the 20" to the 24", I still have the same problems.
Gonna have to make another angry call to AppleCare Support tonight to see if I can get this thing resolved.
Anyone else have any other suggestions to getting this fixed for my iMac?
What about using a different router besides the Apple Extreme or Airport Express? Any ideas?
Thanks

ok try this with your MAC BOOK PRO
Go to your system preferences go to the apple icon and then hit system preferences. From section where it says Internet & Network, there you should see an icon folder that says Sharing, In tiger its like that I don´t know how it is in Leopard, but if it is the same we are in luck. Ok Go to sharing and in sharing go to airport option in airport option make a 128 bit wep key and make a sick *** long password hit ok. Now go check the box that says Airport and then hit the start button to start using your MAC BOOK PRO as a router. Now go to your sick *** I wish I had your 24 inch Imac and here I am stuck with my old Imac early intel, and hit the airport extreme icon oh by the way you should also enable your MAC BOOK PRO airport extreme which now it is a WIFI Router trasmitter I Hope I was of any help

Need iMac ASAP...is it worth waiting until 2013

Sold my old iMac 24 intel and was expecting new iMac in June 2012. Now rumors are 2013 which is too long to wait. Assume current iMac would be OK since I do not do development work or fancy photos, movies,etc.

Which 2007 iMac does your daughter have?
Is it the white one that looks like a giant iPod or the sliver model?
In either case, these machines can run OS X 10.7 Lion, but at this point not sure about the upcoming Mountain Lion.
Here are the Mac system requirements
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
How much RAM is installed on yourq daughter's iMac?
If it's the early 2007 24 inch screen model, you can install 4 GB of RAM, but the iMac will only identify and use 3 GBs of RAM.
If the iMac is a later 2007 24 inch screen model, you can install a total of 6 GBs of RAM.
What, exactly, is the issue with your daughte's iMac that music and video is a problem?
Every iteration of OS X gets more and more RAM hungry. So the more RAM you can install into a Mac, the better.
While both Thunderbolt and USB 3 are phenomenal, FireWire is no slouch. If you use FW 800 and FW 800'peripherals, transfer rates are 800 Mbps.
What kind of audio/video projects are you or your daughter working on that needs USB 3 speeds?
What are the compatibilty issues with hooking up peripherals from other parties?
iMacs have USB 2.0 at the very least for connectivity?
Instead of complaining, maybe we can help out with the issues you are having with your iMac?
Instead of complaining there are no new iMacs, you're not interested in the current line up of iMacs?
I DID buy and older 2010 27 inch screen iMac fully loaded dor a fairly competitive price and I do enough audio/video side work using both iMovie, Final Cut Express and Logic Express. My " new" iMac seems pretty capable to me.
New or Newer iMacs are pretty snappy, especially if you add more than the minimal amount of RAM.
Maybe we can help eek out better performance of your current iMac, if you could list the issues you or your daughter are having?

What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.

What version of osx would give an Imac 24'' 2.3 ghz intel core 2 Duo, with 4gb of DDR2 SDRAM, the best performance? To do illustration and design jobs.
Would the more recents os versions increase the overall performance? Is it worth it?

Hello!
Snow Leopard is what i am currently using. But i guess it does need some clean up and maybe a clean install to see if it gets faster.
I believe 4gb is the limit for this model, although i've seen some with 6gb…
Thank you for the help

S/PDIF digital optical output imac intel 2.4 ghz core 2 duo

i checked in apple system profiler to see if i have an optical output available for my imac to connect for better sound quality to my new phillips blu ray home theater system. it appears that it does indeed have this type of output for high quality audio output
just wondering if this wire is the correct one i would use to connect my imac to my new phillips blu ray surround system? i checked my imac hardware settings and it says
S/PDIF OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
Connection Combination Output
S/PDIF OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT
Connection Combination Input
i read in the manual for the phillips blu ray,that it has an OPTICAL INPUT for audio,would this wire work to simply connect from the imac to the stereo???
i found this wire on ebay that looks like it would be the correct one to connect the imac to the phillips blur ray Can somebody help me to confirm whether or not this wire will work and if i am even on the right track! Thank you very much for your help!!!
this is the ebay listing for the wire i think will work:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160597409256#ht_1130wt_1141

even though i did just order the wire online, lets start over since you obviously know what your talking about when it comes to this kind of stuff.
i have a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo imac(i believe late 2007) running latest version of snow leopard 10.6.7
i used to have a killer phillips surround system300 watts that sounded great even though its petty to todays standards,i usually hooked it up with a cd/aux wire(headphone jack one side,red white other side) from the imac's headphone port to the stereo's aux input(red/white) but then my rabbit chewed the wires and speaker beyond repair,so i bought this brand new phillips blu ray system 100 watts thinking i would get much better sound while connected to my imac while playing movies,games etc. but once i hooked it up like i used with the older system,it sounds basically the same,only slightly better,when it should be 700 watts better! but i figured i was doing something wrong wince the imac has all these crazy better quality output ports and the new system has all these crazy better input methods. dont want to sound ********,i do know a lot about basic audio,editing and all things computers! anyways, i was poking around with the system profiler application and noticed it said the S/PDIF output mode was available and the imac had a digital output capability. i also noticed in the manual for the phillips that it said something about a coaxial/digital input and thus i thought by buying a special wire i need to make the connection i would get much better clearer or ever dolby or dts audio output,which most of the blu rays and games i play on my mac have. so basically i have all the necessary components except for the wire to achieve this dream of mine. thats where you came in to help,thank GOD!
Here is the link for the exact model i ordered from walmart and already have set up and connected via the old method as we speak.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Philips-Blu-ray-Home-Theater-System-HTS3251B-F7/160049 41
by comparing the player with the imac i have can you tell me if i am on the right track as i thought i was before?? Or what would you suggest i do to get better or the correct high def sound out of the imac from whatever is playing and to play out of the new phillips blu ray system i just bought. Thank you very much for all your time and helping me with what should be an easy, simple problem.

Should I install iMovie '09 on my iMac G5 1.8 GHz?

I just bought iLife '09. Unfortunately, I now realise that iMovie requires a G5 running at 1.9 GHz or more. (My G5 is a 1.8 GHz.)
Does anybody know what to do? Can I install iMovie '09 at all, or will it simply not run?
Should I keep iMovie '08 and not install the '09 version? Would the other iLife '09 applications be affected, since they are supposed to link up like Garage Band and iPhoto or iMovie?
Thanks.

I've got a 20" iMac G5, 1.8 GHz (single processor) with a GeForce FX 5200 Graphics Card & 2GB of RAM and iMovie '09 opens and runs. Sometimes it runs a bit slow, but it does open and run.
The only thing that doesn't run for me are the GarageBand Lessons.
Hope that helps!

My 2007 iMac is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I must upgrade from OS10.5.8 to at least 10.7. I know I must go to 10.6.8 on the way. Two questions: 1. Can I upgrade on my own (bright but ignorant)? 2. Should I go to 10.7 or Mavericks?

My 2007 iMac is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I must upgrade from OS10.5.8 to at least 10.7. I know I must go to 10.6.8 on the way. Two questions: 1. As a bright but ignorant person, what problems will I encounter in upgrading? 2. Should I go to 10.7 or all the way to Mavericks?

Thanks for your reply--makes me not want to get involved with Mavericks, and I appreciate the heads-up. What I hadn't thought about is that by upgrading my OS I would also have to upgrade from my Adobe CS1. Since I'm retired from my art career, I'm reluctant to spend the dough on new CS; but I still like using PhotoShop and InDesign (and obviously don't care that they are outmoded). But I'll bet any newer Mac OS won't run my old software.

Mac mini (intel) vs iMac G5 1.8 GHz

Hi all,
I'm thinking of changing my Apple Computer from a 20" iMac G5 1.8 GHz 1.2 GB RAM to a Mac mini Core Duo 1.66 GHz with 2 GB of RAM with a Apple 23" Cinema Display.
Does someone know if that is a "downgrade" in performance?
Thanks for your answers.

20" iMac G5 1.8 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Looking at your list *I think* you should be, for the most part, better off. You list a large amount of Apple applications what are all Universal binaries. Windows will work under Boot Camp or Parallels. Microsoft Office 2004, from all reports, works extremely well even though it's not Universal. The rest being utilities don't really matter much.
The only stand out is Photoshop Elements. This will probably go down in performance although it depends on how much you're looking at using it will make this more or less important.
One thing you will definitely go back in is graphics performance although, from you list I don't think it's going to matter much, if at all.

IMac G5 1.8 Ghz recognizes files improperly on network

Hello,
Our "new" iMac G5 (1.8 Ghz) sees all InDesign documents on our network server as Unix Executable files. I can open the documents through InDesign CS2, but the finder won't see them for what they really are.
Anyone know how I can fix this? It's urgent...
thanks,
erik

Erik, we're finding that Quark 6.5 documents on our Apple network behave poorly or not at all from our new IMAC Intel G5, but when we copy to the local hard drive they work fine.
It also appears that at least Quark is making a really sloppy connection to the network when attempting to get image is chosen, not sure what it's doing but it is looking interminably at all graphic files on the network and running the processor of the network server up to 80% capacity!
Wondered if you have no problem opening files locally but tons of trouble opening over a network. We're beginning to wonder if there's a network issue afoot.

HELP - I think my iSight died on my iMac G5 2.1 Ghz, 20"

I have been successfully video chatting for a year between my home computer (iMac G5 2.1 Ghz, 20") and work (MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, 17" 2.33 GHz) and my father in Ohio (iMac G5 17").
All of a sudden last week (we hadn't used the iMac to chat for ~ 3-4 weeks), I called home from work and the kids where able to see me and hear me, but I could ONLY hear them. The iSight light was OFF on the iMac and all video options were grayed out.
Interesting too, the file names across the top in iChat went file, edit, view, buddies, AUDIO, etc .... AUDIO instead of video.
So this made me think it could be a software (Hopefully !!) issue. But since I have tried photo booth and get the following message: "Photo Booth cannot open because no camera is attached or the camera is in use by another application".
and from inside iChat preferences, under tab video - in the center of the big square it states "There is no camera attached to this computer".
Still No light (power) next to the camera opening
The only software changes that I can remember recently were by the log on 2/16 ... Java for Mac 10.4, Release 5; Security Updates 2007-02, -01, and daylight savings time. Added a Cannon Pixma 830 printer with associated software - MP Navigator 2.2; OmniPage SE Direct OCR; Easy Photoprint.
I am unsure if any these software changes were before or after my last sucessful videochat from the iMac.
Help -- software or hardware ?????
AL

I did a number of searches on forum - nothing with cannon divers was related. Bit I found a couple similar problems after people updated to 10.4.8 and fixed their firmware on iMacs - esp the G5s with built in iSight.
So I followed the suggestions on this link:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3780988&#3780988
from Macfixit.com:
Built-in iSight not recognized Some users have reported loss of their built-in iSights after applying the iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.1. In some cases, this issue can be resolved by resetting the SMC (system management controller) using this process:
1. From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
2. Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
3. Wait at least 15 seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time. Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
5. Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
Resetting PRAM can solve a variety of issues As mentioned in our coverage of recent EFI Firmware updates issued for other Macs, a number of potentially serious issues apparent after applying this EFI Firmware Update can be resolved by simply resetting PRAM/NVRAM via the following process:
Shut down your Mac, then start it back up while immediately holding the following keys: Command, Option, P and R. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
This workaround is a good first course of action before exploring more complex fixes. It should also be attempted if your system cannot properly startup after applying the update.
YEA !!! - THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM !!!! THE iSIGHT POWERS UP NOW !!!!
Thanks

I have a late 2009 iMac with 2.66 Ghz process, or 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

You can upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I recommend you to upgrade to OS X Mavericks because it is the most recent version and it is free.
Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks for free. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
If you still want to use Mountain Lion, you can purchase it at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

IMac 27 3,1 Ghz (2011) | yellow tint on lower part of the screen

Hello,
Just bought an iMac 27" 3,1 Ghz with AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1GB VRAM.
Unfortunately the lower third/quarter of the screen has a yellow tint. Very annoying if you want to do graphics and webdesign :-(((
Is this still the same LED problem like in 2009/10 ? Anyone else with the same issue and a new 2011 model ?
Very annoying and frustrating with an almost perfect machine. Temperature is very low, almost no noises – it would be a dream working place... Sorry, to say something negative about it, but the screen looks like it was used for ages and reminds me to the good old tube-days.
Any experiences and opinions are very much appreciated.

Same issue here too. I actually don't think most people would notice, but some of us have low tolerances for colour inconsistency. Anyhow, I've scheduled a return with Apple online. I think it may just be a characteristic of the display rather than something "wrong" with it. (?) So I'm not taking a chance on another computer, I don't think it would turn out any better. But yes, the lower half of my screen — and especially the center of the bottom — is clearly yellower than the top half. The problem is minimized if I turn the brightness way up, but then my eyes bleed, ha. When I keep the brightness set 6 ticks above "zero", I'm regularly distracted by the colour change. I can't notice it as much on a busy screen (versus a grey background) but that's not exactly a solution.

IMac G4 1.25 Ghz unexpectedly quitting apps

I'm having trouble with my iMac at the moment, with several apps crashing unexpectedly before opening, such as System Preferences, Safari, Warcraft 3, Disk Utility...etc. After a restart or two Warcraft is running but much slower than usual. Sometimes all of the apps I try and open quit.
I have tried several things, such as the usual Maintencance Scripts & repairing permissions, also many restarts and trashing the Cache folder.
I'm running 10.4.8 with the latest security updates.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

You could try calling Apple and ask for Customer Relations.
From Readers Digest-February, 2005
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck.
