No Speakers With My iMac G4/800

Just a follow up to my previous question. The person I bought the iMac g4/800 from told me that it never came with speakers when he bought it new. Were there some models that came without speakers. I cannot locate the model number on this machine. I assume it is the M8535ll/A. Thanks, Ken.

In the more basic package, the speakers were an option. Usually, in
that computer, other features were also diminished. Perhaps a look
into specs on the models will indicate configuration differences.
If the computer has a 17" LCD, then the unit is a different model;
and it would have a super drive, speakers, & is superior model.
Apple iMac specs - many different models:

According to MacTracker (download free database) http://mactracker.ca
Early lower-end model did not include speakers; the mid to high ones did.
Model numbers, configurations and other specs are indicated... Early 15" G4:
M8672LL/B (700 MHz CD-RW), M7677LL/B (700 MHz Combo), M8535LL/B (800 MHz)

Where is your other question regarding this? Was it in forum you did not
initially start a discussion in? I'd briefly looked for, but did not find it.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I use bluetooth speakers with my IMac

    I want some wireless speakers to use outdoors.  If I get bluetooth speakers and pair them with my iMac (MountainLion) will I be able to listen to iTunes output.

    You should be able to listen to your music in iTunes through the Bluetooth speakers. If, after buying the speakers, you can't select them in iTunes, just go to System Preferences > Sound > Output, and choose the Bluetooth speakers

  • Using iGlobe speakers with newer iMac

    I am so happy with may new iMac, but I thind maybe the speakers that came with my old iGlobe 700 Mhz were better than the internal ones in the nex one. However they have some strange plug that doesn't fit with the contact for earphones. Does anybody know if there is some connector out there that I can use?

    Hello, 
    The reason it has a proprietary connector is that it was a very high powered port and it a user inadvertently connected another set of standard speakers they would almost certainly be damaged.
    I've seen Pro Speakers on ebay where someone has cut off the proprietary connector and attached a standard 3.5mm jack. This works but the speakers are then very very quiet. The only real solution is either a new pair of speakers or there was an adaptor made by Griffin called the iFire:
    http://www.welovemacs.com/ifire.html
    However it's no longer made and it's second-hand value is pretty high.
    I too was fairly disappointed with the sound of the new Aluminium iMac compared to the iMac G4 with Pro Speakers although actually I've been living with it for eight months now. I did look at the LaCie Firewire speakers because they don't need a separate power supply but haven't been sure enough to spend my money yet!

  • How do I connect Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speakers with new iMac?

    Please help a PC to mac converter. I did a search related to this topic and I am still confused. The articles that were related were archived and so I couldn't post a reply. With that said I need help. I purchased Logitech 5.1 speaker system to hookup with intel-based iMac 24". The speakers came with 3 color-coded RCA cables. This is the same setup as on my Dell, but the Dell had the corresponding color coded inputs, the iMac does not.
    My question is how do I get 5.1 setup with iMac, and can this computer support a 5.1 system? I've read on here that people are using optical cables, but the iMac does not have an optical input either.
    I appreciate any advise and any hyperlinks to cables or other accessories I need to buy would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    When the Toslink to mini-jack digital cable arrives you would set up the 5.1 audio to the system through Audio MIDI Setup; Apps>Utilities>Audio MIDI Setup.
    From the Audio MIDI Setup Help menu;
    Configuring speakers for multichannel output
    If you have a multichannel audio output system, you can select the speaker used to play each channel.
    You must be using an audio output system that provides more than two channels of audio output.
    Before you start, be sure you have connected the audio devices to your computer, turned them on, if necessary, and installed any software required by the manufacturer.
    1. Open Audio MIDI Setup and click Audio Devices.
    2. Choose the audio output device from the Properties For pop-up menu and click Configure Speakers.
    3. If you are using an interleaved device with more than one audio stream, you can choose the audio streams you want to use with your speaker configuration.
    4. If the stream you select provides enough channels for the speakers you are configuring, you cannot select additional streams.
    5. Choose the type of output you want to set up from the pop-up menu.
    6. For each speaker in the configuration, choose a channel from the pop-up menu below the speaker.
    7. To test the configuration and speaker, click the speaker.
    8. When you're ready, click OK.
    If the speaker doesn't make any sound, make sure it is connected to your audio device correctly and the audio output is not muted.

  • IPod Touch 32 GB and iMac G4 800 Mhz

    Will an iPod Touch successfully connect and function properly with an iMac G4 800 Mhz. I need it to work with no problem. I know it requires a USB 2.0, but it only has 1.0 or 1.1 I believe. Thanks! Please only post with experience regarding this configuration. I already know the..."Well, yeah it will connect and run a little slower". I know this, but is it damaging the either unit???

    You are correct, it will run slower, but also be advised if you have a lot of music you will have to sync it a little at a time, and if you update it, and it is a large update (say like the upcoming version 2.0) it will probably not update on your machine. Same problem with both; the USB chain will timeout.

  • Apple Pro speakers with mini jack connect to new Intel iMac ?

    I would like to be able to connect the pair of perspex globe Apple Pro Speakers with mini-jack that came with my PowerPC G4 Mac to my new Lion desktop Intel iMac.
    However, the mini-jack is too small for either the ' audio in / optical digital audio in port ' or the ' headphone out / optical digital audio out port ' (I'm not sure which is the correct one to use !)
    Is it possible with an adaptor, or by some other means, to connect them ?
    If it is unfortunately not possible, any cheap alternative speakers recommended would be appreciated.

    There are no adapters that are readily available to use the old Apple Pro speakers with other computers or newer Macs.
    The only adapter that worked but has long been discontinued in the Griffin Technologies iFire.
    These are even harder to find now and if you do, indeed find one, you're going to pay an outrageous amount of money just for an adapter that used to sell for $40!!
    For the cost of this adapter, you could just buy new speakers.
    The big problem with the old Apple Pro speakers is that Apple went out of its way to make sure you couldn't use these speakers with anything else but certain G4 Mac models. The connector and subsequent wiring make these speakers very proprietary and limited use without spending gobs of time altering some of the components and purchasing external computer audio amps and connectors.
    Apple simply made these unusable on anything but their own hardware at that time.
    It's simply not worth the effort.
    Look in the Apple Store online. There are a lot of decent priced, good-looking speakers to use with your iMac.
    Good hunting!

  • Speakers that look very nice with aluminum iMac?

    I'm looking to purchase speakers for my iMac and I haven't found any that look great and also get good reviews. I'm willing to spend up to about $200 CDN. I have the aluminum iMac. I will be using the speakers mostly to watch TV/video so I don't need it to achieve great bass and such.
    Any ideas?

    The Apple Stores sells some nice ones.

  • Hi, I have an imac G4 800 with a faulty disc drive and need Itunes 10.5!!

    Hi, I have an imac G4 800 with a faulty disc drive.
    I have just purchased an ipad2 and iphone 4s.. Only to find that I need itunes 10.5 and therefore a change to a newer operating system is required. I believe the leopard operating system is not supported on this machine, I have found some post that suggest that the processor speed can be altered during install to trick the installer to make it work could I do this from a friends machine externally??
    Any suggestions? apart from buying a new computer!!
    Thank you in advance..

    True enough, although I regard 'made to work' as an act of desperation!
    But will iTunes 10.5 work even though the G4 has been press-ganged into accepting Leopard?
    Macintosh Hardware requirements for iTunes 10.5:
    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 processor and 512MB of RAM
    To play Standard Definition video from the iTunes Store, a 1.0GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processor and 512MB of RAM is required
    To play HD video, an iTunes LP, or iTunes Extras, a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor and 1GB of RAM is required
    Screen resolution of 1024x768 or greater; 1280x800 or greater is required to play an iTunes LP or iTunes Extras
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Apple combo drive or SuperDrive to create audio, MP3, or back-up CDs; some non-Apple CD-RW recorders may also work
    Apple SuperDrive to back up your library to DVDs; some non-Apple DVD-RW drives may also work

  • I have some old Boston Digital speakers from Gateway 2000 that I want to use with my Imac

    I have a great set of Boston Digital speakers with a subwoofer that I purchased with a Gateway 2000 computer back in the day... the speakers are still in great shape and produce amazing sound.
    Is there a way that I can use these speakers with my new Imac? Do I have to install a driver of some sort? Or could I just run down to radioshack and buy some sort of adapter?
    I did some research already and they said that I needed to change my audio output to digital but I believe they were speaking about a Windows OS.
    I appreciate it if someone else has run into this and can share some ideas.

    Your BA 7500G sounds a lot like my "Digital BA735" 2.1 speakers that I purchased around '99 with my Gateway.  I just purchased a new iMac a few weeks ago and thought I'd dig out my old speakers that still sound great.  For about $20 you can purchase a converter, plug and cable from monoprice.com.  Another guy had my same BA 735s and got them to work on his iMac with these same connections.  The iMac headphone port is a special headphone/digital Toslink mini combination output.  Therefore, you'll need the optical Toslink to coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio converter.  If you haven't already gotten them to work, then soon you'll be enjoying those great sounding speakers again!
    Monoprice.com (4 digit number is their product ID):
    (2948) Optical Toslink to Coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio Converter.  This is a powered unit, converting optical to a coax digital signal.
    (7240) RCA Plug to 3.5mm Mono Jack Adaptor - Gold plated.  This attaches to the "Coaxial Out" of the Converter.  After this RCA Plug is connected to the converter, you'll then attach your "green" headphone plug you cite above into the other side of the RCA Plug.
    (1556) 3 ft Toslink to Mini M/M 5.0mm OD Molded Cable.  This runs from the iMac's headphone port to the "In Optical" port of the Converter.

  • External speakers quite working with my Imac

    I just got new logitec speakers for my imac. I plugged them in, everything worked perfectly. That night i put my computer to sleep and they did not work in the morning. I am mystified. I tested the speakers on my TV, speakers are fine. any suggestions?

    Hmmm. I plugged the speakers into the headphone jack. they are  the Audyssey Lower East Side Media Speakers. When I hoty option on the menu bar, headphones are checked as output. When I go to system preferences and check output, all it says is "headphone port." Still no change.

  • Is it possible to swap out an imac g4 (800 mhz) motherboard with a mac mini

    recently i found an old imac G4 (800 mhz) and i brought it back to its former glory, however ive noticed its preformance to be laggy and inefficent, so ive been considering getting a mac mini. but i dont want to leave the design of the imac G4, so is it possible to take out the imacs motherboard and such and make it a moniter to use in a mac mini?

    No.  The heat and cooling mechanisms are different.
    But you can use a Mac Mini temporarily in Target Disk Mode for extra storage, as long as you don't setup the extra storage to try to boot the Mac Mini.  Partitions allow you to select what you will boot on a Mac, if you have the right machines.  Note, new Mac Minis are formatted differently than the iMac G4 can support for reading.   An older Mac Mini G4 could double as external storage for the iMac G4 via Target Disk Mode.  Target Disk Mode does not transfer the processing power of the other machine, it merely makes the storage available.  And also the optical drive.

  • How do i get more RAM in my iMac G4 800?

    I'd like to expand the RAM on my iMac G4 800. I read a few discussions and am not quite sure what I can do. Here is what I have and what I want to do:
    Have: I have a iMac G4 800 with 512 in the J22 slot and 256 in the J20 slot. I am assuming the J20 slot is the one I can make changes to. Is that right?
    Want: I'd like to add a 1 GB DRAM and make my memory 1.5 GB. I realize there is some debate about whether this machine can handle over 1 GB of main memory. So, can I do that?
    Thanks

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    I'm afraid there is no debate: 1GB is the maximum on the 800MHz iMac.
    Personally I don't believe that going from 768MB to 1GB is cost effective on this older Mac given that you will have to throw out a 256MB module.
    On my iMac G4 J20 is the internal "Factory" slot which is difficult to access; this notation may be different on the 800MHz model.
    Some tips to improve performance:
    Quit Safari often; it suffers serious memory leaks that Apple doesn't seem in a hurry to fix and will gobble up your RAM.
    Keep your hard disk nice and empty. Once you fill your hard disk above the 85% level you'll start to get fragmentation and the available space for virtual memory is not there.
    Use a system maintenance application like MacJanitor (link).
    Quit applications when you're not using them.
    Have a look in Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor. How much Free and Inactive RAM do you have? If the processor regularly being tasked to 100%? How many Page Outs do you have?

  • Frequent Kernel Panics - iMac G4/800

    My mom's had an iMac G4/800 for about five years now... it's always be a good and reliable machine... all of a sudden, she's been plagued with kernel panics occuring several times a day...
    She's tried several clean OS X installs to no avail... last night, I did a zero-write to the drive and erased it (i believe this would lock out bad sectors, no?)... she's not installed anything as of yet but just had another KP about 20 minutes ago...

  • Need help with my iMac ... it keeps freezing up on me no matter what I do.

    Hello all,
    I need help to figure out why my iMac keeps on freezing up on me. I used to have Norton SystemWorks installed but I recently uninstalled it because I found out it was poison to Mac OS X. I've used Memtest to check the memory in my iMac. The result of the test came up fine.
    You can go to 'Cooling fans for iMac?' (one of my post) to read all of the solutions I have tries out. This post is the original post to try to fix the problem but it FAILED.
    In the last week, I've backed up all of my data to my external hard drive. Then I totally erase my internal hard drive and made sure to zero out the drive. After, I proceeded to install Mac OS 9. I had some problems installing the system at first. I finally installed Mac OS 9 and upgraded it to the latest version of 9. Next, I tried to install Mac OS X 10.3 with difficulty. I then finally installed it. I notice during and after installing the both OSs, my iMac keep on freezing. After I installed Mac OS X 10.3, I updated the OS. And yes, while updating the OS, I've experience the same problem as before. I now have my system back to where it was before I did a fresh install of both Mac OS 9 and X.
    You guest it, my iMac is still freezing up on me no matter what I do. Can someone please help me with this problem? Can he/she tell me what is going on with my iMac and how to fix it? All the help I can get would be appreciated. Thanks for you time and effort.
    P.S. After trying all of the previous suggestions from other users, I came to an conclusion that one of the hardware in my iMac my be failing. I know for curtain it is NOT my memory. It my be something else inside my iMac.

    I've read the thread you linked to above and the only thing I find missing in the saga is any mention of the PRAM battery. If it is depleted (and it would be getting close to depletion if it has never been replaced) it could be causing your problem.
    Do you see any strangeness in the time or date displays? That would be a sure sign that the battery is dying. I haven't run into the problem of a bad battery causing constant freezing but it wouldn't hurt to check it out.
    As far as temperature effects, the usual pattern of overheating would be a shutdown of the whole computer, a designed-in precaution.
    Forgive the battery tutorial if you've already dealt with that possibility.
