Possible to put iMac G5 HD into PowerMac?

I recently had my old iMac g5 die (logic board not Hard Drive).
I have an old Power Mac G5 with an open harddrive bay. Can I put the imacs HD in there to get my data? is there anything I need to worry about? Is it even possible?

Hi Ted, & welcome to the forum!
Looks like the earliest iMasc G5 had SATA drives, so it should be simple matter of putting it into a G5 tower that requires SATA drives also.
No thing to worry about!

  • Is it possible to put my MacPro HD into my G5 drive bay?

    Hi All,
    I have a Dual 2.3 GHz G5 tower at home and a Dual-Core Intel Xenon 2.66 GHz in my office. I'm trying to troubleshoot my office HD and wanted to work on it at home. Is it possible to put my office HD into the spare drive bay in my home machine?
    Really all I want to do is use SuperDuper to make a clone of my office drive, but it takes like 5 hours to complete this task and was hoping to set it up before going to bed and having it finished when I wake up. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    You must be trying to use USB2 if it takes 5 hrs, or you have 500GB of actual data.
    Instead of popping it inside I'd just get a FW800 case or kit for easy connection.
    It might be best to run Disk Warrior (4.1.1+) or maybe address what/why it needs troubleshooting. But I would never rely on or trust Apple DU First Aid to diagnose a hard drive, let alone fix any problem.

  • Is it possible to put albums by name into a playlist instead of a list of individual songs?

    I'm creating playlists on my IPod Touch but when I move an album into the playlist all I get is a list of the songs. I'd like to be able to select the name of the album from the playlist. Is it possible, and if so, how?

    Shane B,
    I have the same model iMac with the same problem screen.
    It's the LCD panel that is defective,(at least in my case).
    You can validate this by getting a mini DVI adapter to connect the iMac to an external screen and test it on your HDTV or on any external screen.
    Get the proper adapter from Mini DVI to what you have on the external screen or TV (HDMI, DVI, VGA)
    and a cable to connect it and see if the image on the external screen or TV is OK.
    In my case, my iMac was sitting on a shelf for two years before I thought of trying this.
    I am now using it as a media server linked to my HDTV.
    I ended up opening the iMac case to disconnect the LCD so I would not have to look at the ugly defective display sitting right next to my HDTV.

  • Is it possible to download a dvd movie into my itunes account so i can put it on my ipad?

    Is it possible to download a dvd movie into my itunes account so i can put it on my ipad? If so, how?

    Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries) and hence Apple explicitly forbids such posts. We're therefore not allowed to discuss it here.   Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basically gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:
    http://www.vudu.com/disc_to_digital.html
    If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer.
    Regards.

  • My motherboard died on hp laptop. i put my hard drive into an enclosure to access data. is it possible/how do i transfer my bookmarks from hard drive to my new computer which is a macbook pro?

    hello. my name is brandon. my hp laptop motherboard died 3 days ago. i have put my hard drive into an enclosure to be able to access all my info and files. i have successfully transferred all my files, but I am not sure if, or how i can access all my mozilla bookmarks from my my old hard drive to be able to put onto my new laptop, which is an macbook pro. my bookmarks were crucial to pay bills etc, so any help would be greatly appreciated, brandon

    Not familiar with the Mac file structure either but you can transfer the entire content of your Firefox profile replacing entire content of a firefox profile you created on new HD. For me copying over a few files was out of the question all of the files are updated and I wasn't about to reinstall 150+ extensions and set up configurations for everything and to do that for that 20 profiles and .ini file. Except for 3 most didn't have a lot of extensions but it would be rather impossible.
    I copied everything from the Mozilla folder down in the user libraries so all my profiles were set, it did something similar for application libraries.

  • Putting iMac display to sleep, when using TV as a screen.

    I have just connected my iMac to my 42" Panasonic 1080p TV, the connection was easy and is working fine. My questions relates to putting the iMac display to sleep when using the TV as a monitor, if I am watching You Tube, Sky Player or a DVD, I intend to use my TV as the monitor. Is it possible for the iMac to puts its display to sleep, whilst leaving the TV on. I played around with this today, however was unable to manage this.
    Regards Craig

    Hi Craig
    There is no way to independently sleep either the iMac's Display or an attached Display/TV. However if in the Display Arrangement Preferences you set the attached Display or TV to be the Main Display and turn Mirroring Off, then FrontRow and the Full Screen Mode app's like, DVD player, QuickTimePlayer, etc. will black out the unused iMac display.

  • I removed my battery in an attempt to insert a SIM card, obviously without knowing how to insert the SIM card. I put the battery back into place and it was already charged 100%, but it's stuck in recovery mode. I've already restored it, but it won't boot.

    I was trying to insert a SIM card into my iPhone 4 without actually knowing how to do so. I assumed that I was to remove the back of the phone and find a slot for it near the battery. I removed the battery in an attempt to find a SIM slot, and was obviously unsuccessful. I put the battery back into place and screwed the phone back plate back on. Note: the battery was fully charged and the iPhone was working perfectly fine before. After screwing the iPhone back into place properly, I thought, I attempted to cut the phone on and it would not do so. I put it back on the charger, and the screen came up that says "Connect to iTunes". I obviously couldn't do so if its plugged into the wall. I plugged into the computer, connected it to iTunes, went through the Recovery mode process, and it still won't turn on. The computer says that the iPhone is in Recovery mode, but iTunes can't do anything because it has already been restored. When I disconnect it from the computer, I hold all buttons in all possible combinations, but it won't turn on at all. When I plug it into the wall, it again says to connect to iTunes. I don't know if I damaged the battery or any part within the iPhone, but I was sensitive in my approach to removing the battery and putting it back in, and there is no visible damage whatsoever. I am extremely frustrated and in desperate need of Apple-Pro help.

    do you have a cdma iphone 4? becauase cdma iphones dont have a sim card slot... the providers that use cdma technology here in the us would be verizion, sprint, criket, ect... if you want to use your iphone 4 on att or tmobile (gsm carriers). then you would need a gsm iphone 4 (has sim card slot). a gsm iphone 4 is different than a cdma iphone 4 (they have different radio chips). maby you missed the sim card slot? sim card slot would be on the side of the phone.. never inside (unless it has a removable back cover like the galaxy s3 or s4), if you dont see a sim card slot on the side of the phone than you have a cmda iphone 4. can you tell me what carrier you are trying to use?

  • I have just got an Airport time Capsule for back up how do I do it? Do I put the ethernet cable into the back of my sky hub because when I do that the amber light on my Time Capsule flashes amber. Please talk in simple terms as I am a

    I have just got an Apple Airport time capsule to back up my one year old iMac......how do I do it? I have tried putting an ethernet cable into the time capsule and to my sky hub, all I get is a flashing amber light, can anyone help I am a silver surfer not used to Apple products, but love them, plus I don't understand half of the jargon....HELP please

    Apple's Setup Guide for the Time Capsule is pretty simple and clear for most users, and you don't indicate at what point or step that you are getting stuck.
    So, please go to page 8 in your Setup Guide to review the topic of Plugging In Your AirPort Time Capsule.
    The Sky hub will likely have 4 Ethernet <--> ports on the back of the device. Pick any one that you want and connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port that you choose.
    Then, connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WAN (circle of dots) port as shown in the Setup Guide.
    Continuing with the instructions on page 8 of the Setup Guide, power up the Time Capsule by connecting the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule to a wall AC jack.
    Note that the instructions indicate that the indicator light will be solid amber during startup, and it will change to blinking amber during the setup. The light will remain blinking amber until you have configured the Time Capsule at which time the light will turn green.
    Next, go to page 12 of the Setup Guide to see the information to Use your Mac or iOS device to set up your AirPort Time Capsule.
    You indicated in your tag line that you were using OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), and since that will exceed the minimum requirement of a Mac using OS X (10.7.5) as noted in the guide, you can use your Mac to set up the Time Capsule.
    Continuing with the instructions on page 12 of the Setup Guide......
    1. Open AirPort Utility on your Mac.  It is located as follows:  Finder (the smiley face on the dock) > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    2. Select your AirPort Time Capsule and click Continue. You won't be able to do this, but read further......If you do not see the AirPort Time Capsule that you want to configure, choose it from the WiFi status menu in the menu bar, at the top of the screen.
    So, clicking on the WiFi icon will yield a small window that looks like this:
    The example below shows an AirPort Extreme.  You will see Time Capsule on your screen. Click on Time Capsule.
    When you click on Time Capsule, that will get the setup wizard going. it will take a minute to analyze the network, then display a screen that looks similar to the illustration below, except that you will see a picture of a Time Capsule on your screen
    3. Continuing with the Setup Guide.......Follow the onscreen prompts to create a new network
    Network Name...........Type in a simple name that you want to call your network. Do not use the suggested name.
    Base Station Name....Type in a simple name that you want to call the Time Capsule.  Mine is TC, for example.
    Password...................Type in a password that will be used for both the network and the Time Capsule.  Write that down.
    Verify..........................Type in the password again to Verify
    Click Next
    The setup wizard will configure everything for you. When you see the message of Setup  Complete, click Done.
    The Time Capsule is now set up and it will display a green light.

  • Can I put a SQL query into a bind variable and then use it to output report

    Hi,
    Can I put a SQL query into a bind variable and then use it to output report?
    I want to create a report and an item "text area" (say P1_TEXT) which can let user to input a SQL query(they are all technical users and knows SQL very well). Then, I use a bind variable (that text area) to store the SQL statement. Then, I add a submit button and I want to use the following to output the report:
    select * from (:P1_TEXT);
    Do you think it is possible to do that? Any known limitations for APEX in this area?
    Thanks a lot,
    Angela

    You can, but make sure it's what you really want to do. Make sure you are VERY familiar with SQL Injection. Most people who know what it is, go out of their way to prevent SQL Injection. You're going out of your way to allow it.
    You can try using &P1_TEXT. instead of bind variable syntax. Bind variables are one of the best ways to prevent SQL Injection, which is why it's not working for you.
    Once again, I strongly urge you to consider the implications of your app, but this suggestion should get it working.

  • Is it possible to put form fields on layers in Acrobat?

    I am creating evaluation forms that have 3 layers. Basically, on page 1 there are 3 buttons for the apprpriate category, and each button turns on a specific layer. The following pages have information to be filled out based on which category layer is selected on page 1.
    I've created the documents in Indesign with layers and so far exporting the document and layer buttons works fine . . . I just have to assign the layer action in Acrobat to the buttons. But, when it comes to creating the form fields, I can't figure out how to create them on a layer. When I go into form field editing I lose my layer panel and when I can see the layer panel, turning layers on and off does not affect the fields.
    Is it possible to put fillable form fields on layers, so I could have different fields visible based on what layer is showing?

    So, if I learn to create this script, can I have multiple sets of fields stacked on top of each other that can be shown/hidden along with the rest of the layer by pressing a button?
    Hi,
    you don't need to learn JavaScript for such basic actions, they are built-in.

    I want to upgrade my 2007 Mac desktop to 10.5 Leopard. I am currently running on 10.4.11. When I put the leopard disk into the drive all it does is make a weird noise and then spits the disk right back out. It doesn't do this with any other discs, only this software. Is it still possible to update this computer?

    Yes. Try Amazon.
    Before you do upgrade to Snow Leopard, make sure your Mac meets the requirements.
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
    Make sure the disc you tried using doesn't have any fingerprints or smudges on it. The optical drive can't read the disk otherwise.
    If your Mac won't read the disc, might be a good idea to rule out any problems with the startup disk BEFORE trying to upgrade the system.
