Hi Ellen!
On the Firmware Update Page, the Mac models that
require 4.1.9 are iMacs & the Power Mac G4
Cube.
Your specs state, powerpc G3.
Please clarify which Mac model you have.
Also, do your Panther install CDs look exactly
like
THESE?
Thanks,
ali b
Dear Ali,
I have an Imac year 2000, 450 GHZ with 1 full ram installed. About this mac states 'Powermac G3". My panther disks look exactly like your images! Thank you so much for your interest. Any suggestions?
Ellen

    HI,
    Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • HT1444 mac pro will not successfully load snow leopard

    mac pro will not successfully load snow leopard 10.6   ? presently using 10.5

    Haha! That's true. Though I've noted many users here calling a Power Mac a Mac Pro and visa versa.
    When my Power Mac died and I brought it into the Apple Store to have them look at it, the first Mac Pros hadn't been out that long. Even the staff didn't know the tower Mac they had out on display was a Mac Pro. I pointed out that it had two optical drive bays in front. Only the Mac Pros have two. All Power Macs have only one.

    Safari Problems
    Safari - Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

    I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
    I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
    I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?

  • Power Mac G5 Upgrades? New to Mac

    Hello Everyone, this is my first post here on apple.
    I Recently got a M9020LL/A Power Mac G5 1.6ghz tower, 1 gig memory, 80 gig drive. Fresh install of Leopard 10.5. All is working well... Happy with it.
    My question is, other than ram/memory obviously, are there any other upgrades i can perform?
    There is no possibility to upgrade this computer to a Intel chip, is there? be kind here lol... I have a PowerPC now.
    On the website below, it says there is a Dual 2 gig option for this "series" of towers, is that a possible upgrade, and if so, where do i get it or find a part number.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP96
    Thanks everyone

    Bigger hard drive for sure. Maybe multiple drives.
    Can't put Intel chip in PPC, sorry.
    Video card?
    Always a matter of what's worth the investment. I regard the transition to Intel somewhat of a wall. In that regard even a G5 is old and cannot get beyond that point. We're up against it already with the recent release of Snow Leopard for Intel only. You can upgrade the G5 until you're blue in the face but come next OS release you'll be left with a non-upgradable computer and one left running an unsupported OS. I guess what I'm saying is, consider first before doing major upgrades.
    Oh, if you get a SATA hard drive you can probably use it in your next computer even if it is Intel, so that's not a waste of money.

  • Installing software on my Mac Air & MBP - installer wont load

    Hi all
    I am hoping some one is technically savvy enough to help me trouble shoot this problem. I recently purchased a new digital camera and am trying to install the software disc that came with the camera. I unfortunately need to install the software disc so that it loads the necessary files for me to process the raw digital files that came out of the camera so using things like iphoto etc is no good for me.
    The issue I have is when I double click the installer it momentarily flashes up and then disappears???? I cannot figure out WHY?? So I have tried to trouble shoot as best as possible. Here is what I have done and results to date.
    1. Tried to Install this on my MacBook Pro. Installer flashes up momentarily and disappears?
    2. Tried to install this on my Mac Air also running OS X Snow Leopard. Same issue?? So far conclude its not machine related
    3. Downloaded another install disc off the internet and tried to run that version. Same ISSUE. So its not issues related to my CD.
    4. Stripped out previous versions of the software on my MAC Air to ensure its not causing issues. Same problem
    5. Checked online forums and other uses and purchasers of the digital camera ARE able to install the software on their macs!!!
    6. Uninstalled every single APP that I have installed on my MAC air and tried to get it back to stock. Try again. Still fail????????
    7. Updated the OS X software to ensure everything is up to date.
    8. Grabbed the OLD version of the software disc that came with my previous digital camera (same brand) and installed that CD (version 23 - for those familiar with Canon DSLR). that loads up correctly and allows me to install. Version 25 the latest that comes with my new Canon DSLR doesnt load up.
    I am stuck !!! I cannot pin point the issue. I dont understand OS X enough to debugg or log what the potential issue is.
    I started up the Activity Monitor and watched closely in the my Process specifically for the process that I start up (SetUp)
    I noticed that the Setup process name registers. Then another process starts up UniversalInstaller then both of them disappears?????????? and nothing happens in my comp!!!!!
    Is there some way for me to debug this ?? look at log file?? enable error logging or has ANY one got any idea what may be the issue???
    I've essentially bought a VERY VERY expensive DLSR and I cannot edit my raw files because I cannot install the software!!
    HELP ME Please

    Downloading as we speak, and the first explanation that comes to mind is that both files have a .rar extension, and that since OS X doesn't support this archive format, you need to install a third-party utility to open them.
    One files tool to open .rar files is The Unarchiver (here), and another is Stuffit Expander (there). 7zip also proposes a Mac version (here). All three will decompress a .rar file, and let you access the .dmg file(s) inside.
    Also, depending on the browser you're using, and provided you might be inclined to open trusted files directly (I use Opera, and seldom save safe download; I click on "Open" in the download dialogue), your files could very well open... in the browser cache folder, out of sight. But if you use Safari, Chrome or Firefox, and you don't have any utility installed to handle .rar files, that's doubtful. I'm going to open your files now, and check if I can install them.
    Stay tuned!
    Edit: decompressing the first file using The Unarchiver shows that the archive is "incomplete". Which leads me to think that you might have to concatenate the two files to make one "complete" .dmg file.
    If so, once they are decompressed, open a Terminal (in Applications/Utility), then type "cat", and drag both files in the window, one after the other (preferably in the right order...), type a space, then give the final file any name you want, followed by the .dmg file extension:
    (e.g.:) "cat /Users/Your_Name/Desktop/File1.dmg /Users/Your_Name/File2.dmg /Users/Your_Name/Desktop/FinalFile.dmg"

    if your Mac is still in warranty, then you should contact the Argentinian technical support service. If it is out of warranty, then we can try to lend a hand. (We’re just fellow Apple product users here.)

  • Can't load mac drivers

    When I try to load mac drivers I get the following message" Bootcamp X64 is unsupported on this computer model."   Windows installed properly except for this problem. I could run Microsoft Office but I need the Mac drivers to run video applications I presume.

  • Having trouble re-loading Mac OS X to mac mini.

    I recently recieved a hand-me-down mac mini which was in "server mode". I tried to re-load Mac OS X, choosing to archive the old server data just in case the original owner wanted it back. But after the first CD has run its course, the mini goes through a never-ending rebooting cycle. I tried to reload it last night and checked this morning and it would still reboot, go to the white screen with the white apple, then reboot again and repeat. I tried holding down "C", but all that let me do was re-load mac os x again and repeat the process.
    When I manually shut the computer down and repower it, it again is stuck in the rebooting loop.
    Please help.
