Power mac 7300 connection to monitor

The connection to the monitor is made through an adaptator with 10 buttons.
During a transport of the mac and the monitor, some buttons have been put "off". Can you tell me what buttons should be "on"?

  • See and copy files from a Power Mac without keyboard and monitor

    A friend gave me his G4 Power Mac. I think it is a Quicksilver. (I will post some pics of both the front and back on Flickr if anyone wants to see it.) I didn't get the keyboard or monitor cuz I forgot I would need the keyboard to use Firewire Target Disc mode on it. I just need to see what files are on it (and probably copy whatever ones I need onto my newer Powerbook.)
    I have a 17" Powerbook G4 DL and a Powerbook Firewire (500mhz, running OS 9.2.2), and another G4 Power Mac ADP set up to always start up in Firewire Target Mode so I can use it like an external drive (which I never do...) and a bunch of older Macs (LC 580, SE...)
    How can I get onto this new machine? I need to see what files are on there. I do not have access to another monitor but I might be able to borrow a USB keyboard so I can start it up in Target Mode. Is there anything I can do before I scrounge for a USB keyboard?
    I have tried connecting by Firewire and ethernet with both Powerbooks. The Power Mac isn't showing up either way. I am pretty sure it has a CD drive but pushing on the door (one of two on the front) doesn't open it up.
    I am assuming the Power Mac is running OSX.
    Many thanks.
    Cheers,

    I think it is a Quicksilver
    It may be easier to look at the rear panel for some labeling. It may be silk-screened on with white paint and a bit hard to see.A four-digit model number with "M" as a leader will pretty much nail down the model without taking photos that may not show much.Quicksilvers can have models number M8360, M8493, or M8493 depending on the config.
    For snopping the drive, it may be easier to pull the drive from the G4 and use one of these extremely handy gadgets:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U2NV2SPATA/
    to mount the bare G4 drive on your working PowerBook with OSX. It will show up on the PB as an external drive and you can see what's there. The adaptor will be serviceable for more than just checking this hard drive. Anyone with multiple Macs will get a lot of use from it.
    Remember that some third-party keyboards do not recognize Mac start-up key combos, and that some current Aluminum Apple boards may not work correctly with older Macs. The Al board with numeric keypad (here) says it will work with Tiger. The wireless ones and the short "non-keypad" version require Leopard or higher.

  • G4 Power Mac compatibility with new monitor

    Have a G4 Power Mac with dual 1.25 processors and a Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card. What limits on flat panel monitors does this system have? 22", 24" or resolution?

    What monitors work with a given graphics card is limited by the resolution the card will support. Size of the screen, as such, is irrelevant. The Radeon 9000 I believe supports up to 1920 by 1200 pixels via ADC or DVI and up to 2048 by 1536 via VGA (through a VGA extractor).

  • Power Mac 8500/180 LCD monitor question

    A friend has a Power Macintosh 8500/180 and wishes to upgrade the monitor from the huge CRT it is now using to LCD.
    Looking at the specs of this machine it has a DB15 display port, which it seems can output via VGA via an adapter such as this: http://www.lindy.co.uk/shop/showProductDetail.do?orderNumber=70187&source=search. Can anybody confirm whether this should work?
    I also seem to remember that in years gone by Mac's were only compatible with Multisync monitors. Is this the case with LCD? In other words, would any old LCD work, or should a multisync LCD be purchased?
    Likewise, would a driver be required, and would it matter if the monitor was widesceen?
    Many thanks
    Darren

    The 8500 has a couple of hardware limitations beyond the physical conversion of the VGA cable for connection to the DB-15 port. (1) The 8500's onboard video support/VRAM is maxed out at 4 MBs, which is not really adequate for a modern display. (2) LCD displays have a native resolution/refresh, so the computer's onboard graphics controller or add-in graphics card should support those specs for optimal viewing quality. A widescreen display with a 16:9 aspect ratio further complicates the support capabilities of an older graphics card. What OS is your friend running on the 8500? The expense of adding a modern Mac-compatible graphics PCI card for a widescreen display well exceeds the value of an 8500 today. If a display with the older 4:3 aspect ratio is used, a more capable graphics card may be needed, but one that's not so current/expensive. Used Mac-compatible graphics cards, like an ATI Orion, Nexus, or the made-for-Apple ATI Rage 128 (pulled from a Blue & White G3) aren't too expensive and all of these cards have a VGA port, eliminating the need for the adapter. Your friend can always try connecting a 4:3 LCD display to the onboard DB-15 monitor port, via the adapter that you linked. Getting the DIP switches set correctly is the trick.

  • I am looking to purchase a monitor for a Power Mac G4 OR a Web cam that is compatible with the the Power Mac G4.

    I have a G4 Power Mac without the original monitor - I am using a monitor from a PC that does not have a built in webcam. I have also tried a "Blue" brand webcam that was received as a gift for me that does not work...and went to best buy to buy a compatable one and they had none that they thought would work w/ the G4 power mac  What are my options? Ideally the cheapest would be a compatable webcam. any thoughts/suggestions? or thoughts about where to get a replacement original monitor.
    thanks!

    HI,
    ON the cam front.
    The OS will support UVC compliant camera (USB Video Class) since 10.4.9  in iChat (Slightly earlier in other apps)
    The issue for older G4 macs is that these are always USB 2.0 cameras (Used to be marked "Vista Ready" or "Certified" as Windows went USB 2.0 about the same time).
    I have a G4/1ghz Dual Processor tower (So called Mirrored Doors)
    This can have extra PCI cards and have installed one with 4 USB 2.0 ports  (Remove blank, insert and secure with screw and away it went)
    Nowadays virtually any USB webcam will be UVC compliant and USB 2.0  (Meaning no Windows or Mac Drivers to download and Install)
    The abilities of the Drivers in the OS do vary between Windows and Macs of this age.  (Lion on Intels does bring face tracking).
    Anyways, once you solve the USB 2.0 input issue then virtually any USB 2.0 camera will work including the X-Box 360 cam or a PalyStation 3 one
    Firewire
    The Original External iSight was of course Firewire.
    There were a number of other around the same time (Until USB cameras took over).
    This means that some DV convertors that use Firewire to get Analogue CamCorders signals into a Mac will work (some digital camcorders may not produce a DV signal as such and will need a convertor)
    The camera may have options on it's playback that mean it can be in 4:3 ratio if used with iChat.  It also cannot be HDV (or any propriatary form)  (You have to have an Intel and Lion/iChat 6 for HD).
    Of course some DV camcorders  do use Firewire to connect to a computer  (although this has dropped off as USB 2.0 is actually slightly faster)
    iMovie will accept many more formats than iChat will but you were talking about Web Cams.
    NOTES 
    You may find sites still trading the external iSight.  They are going to be at least 8 years old now and you will need to check so how that they are working
    USB 1.1
    If you can find a USB 1.1 Camera for sale or tucked in a drawer  it will need two things:-
    1) A Mac Driver
    2) This Utility for iChat http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/
    Some manufacturers did have web sites with Downloads.
    The Camera Guide page at Ecamm shows the links to two third Party Drivers from macam and IOXperts.
    You will note the first Ecamm page says that iUSBCam does not work in Snow Leopard but you specs do say you are using Leopard (10.5)
    Back to Screens
    My tower has a card that supports two monitors.
    The one I bought with my Tower was the Studio Display (Same Acrylic type surround to the screen as the Tower).  (It does have USB 1.1 ports on the back)
    This used the then Apple Display Connector (ADC)
    It also had a DVI output.
    Ergo any DVI Screen will work.
    As to whether a  DVI screen/display with a camera can use that DVI connector to feed the Camera to the Mac I don't know.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

  • Can I connect a Power Mac G5 monitor to a Macbook pro?

    I still have my Power Mac G5 monitor that still works. I wanted to know if I can connect the monitor to my Macbook pro. I'm not sure what adapters, if any, I should use. Thanks in advance.
    Scilla

    What brand and model of monitor and what type of connectors does it have?
    PowerMac G5s did not ship with a monitor but you could use several Apple monitors of the time plus common third-party monitors like Sony, ViewSonic, etc. However, the type of video connection varies, even on Apple monitors. So we would need to know what connectors (or at least make/model) to research the required adpators.
    If you are asking about a G5 iMac----looks like this:
    Then, no, it cannot be used as an external monitor in the traditional sense. You may be able to use third-party, screen-sharing software if both computers are networked. See here:

    It appears the software still supports older Macs.

  • Cna I connect an old VGA monitor to my POWER MAC G5?

    I just purchased a 2005/2006 version of the POWER MAC G5 which uses DVI and I have an old VGA monitor (It came with my old PC) that I want to re-use if is possible.
    What kind of adapter do I need?

    A Power Mac G5 is not an iMac G5, so you should post your question here, in the category shown below, going forward.
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=108
    However, this is probably the DVI to VGA adapter that you need.

  • My monitor won't enter power save when connected to my mac mini via HDMI

    I have a mac mini connected to my Samsung monitor and when the computer goes to sleep, the monitor just sits there with "no signal" on the screen.  Usually it would go to sleep at this point, but in this case it doesn't.

    thanks for your suggestions.
    i found the solution/workaround from somone else on the adobe forums:
    Go to control  panel, display, screen saver, choose a random screen saver, set a long time  (i.e. 60 min, but always longer than your monitor shut off time), then select no  screen saver, and save! Simple as that…

  • GeForce 7300 GT on 1.8 Ghz Power Mac?

    I've got a spare GeForce 7300 GT coming off a Mac Pro tower. I cannot seem to find in depth information whether this card will work on a Power Mac 1.8 Ghz Dual tower.
    If not, does anybody know of a decent trade to which I can trade the GeForce card for a substitute that would work on the 1.8 Ghz Power Mac?
    I'm just trying to upgrade the video card on the 1.8 Ghz as well as getting a second monitor hooked up to it.
    Any help and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA

    Whatever you end up getting, either through purchase or trade, make sure you get an AGP card. While you could stick in a PCI graphics card, it will be significantly slower than your existing FX5200.
    I was thinking the same thing. I thought about posting an ad in eBay for the 7300GT but I'm having a hard time deciding on what to start the bidding cost at and what to use for a "Buy It Now" option. I'm hoping to generate enough change so as to at least get a 128 mb video card replacement. Or maybe have to cough up $20 more for a 256 mb video card replacement which would be nicer. You know, my 256 mb for another 256 mb. I get the feeling that isn't going to happen without having to fork over a bit more cash.
