    You stated; " I have been successful with My Power Mac "
    A Power Mac is incapable of being upgraded to Mavericks. It is a PPC Mac which can only run versions of OS X up to 10.5.8 and no higher. Any version of OS X higher that 10.5.8 requires an Intel processor to run.
    Does the iMac meet the hardware requirements for Mavericks?

  • My Power Mac G5 Will Not Turn ON

    My Power Mac G5 will not turn on. WOrked fine, then I went away for 7 weeks and now it doesnt turn on. Power/cord all fine. What can I do?
    Thanks.

    Same thing happened to my G5 dual (late 2004 model). Just did a quick search to find out "power supply unit failure" is most likely the cause.
    Here are some useful links:
    This guy replaced the PSU and documented the process:

    Taking out the heat sinks to get to the PSU is a challenge. This link shows how:

    This repair shop in Fremont CA seems to have pretty reasonable price to do the repair:

  • My Power Mac G5 wont always turn on

         A couple of weeks ago my G5 started not turning on after being shut completely down. When I hit the power button, it clicks twice and turns off in a split second. The odd part is, it WILL turn on if I leave it unplugged for at least 24 hours. When it does boot, it works normally and can be restarted without a problem. Im certain it isnt the power supply because I tested the pinouts based on a service source I found, but I really want to find out what is causing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Specs:
    Power Mac G5 (late 2005)
    2GB of Ram
    Dual 2.0 PPC

    Yeah, most Apple stores I hear don't even work on G5s anymore, even for ridiculous prices.
    I suspect a bad capacitor on the logic board needing to bleed down, but any PCI cards, USB, or FW devies connected?
    Or possibly the PMU itself.
    Does it boot into Open Firmware with CMD+Option+o+f ?

  • Power Mac G5 unable to connect to internet.  OS 10.04.11

    We have two Power Mac G5s in our office--one tower connects just fine to the wireless connection with its antenna device.
    The other does not connect, and in the System Preferences under "Network," it reads that the "AirPort is currently off."
    How can I turn this back on?  The external antenna device is functioning and works just fine on the other working G5 tower.
    Thank you!!

    Hello,
    System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, make sure it it checked, then drag it to the top of he list.

  • Power mac G4 unable to load OS X 10.4.6

    I have a Power mac G4 with OS X 10.2. I want to upgrade to OS X 10.4.6 which requires a DVD drive.
    My G4 didn't come with a DVD so I had one installed. But my current software doesn't no support DVD drives so I can't use the DVD part.
    So how can I make this work?

    Insert the Mac OS X 10.4 installation disk into the drive, and then restart the computer with the Option key held down. If you are able to successfully start up from the drive, install Mac OS X 10.4.

  • Power Mac G5 Won't Turn On

    Hi all, I'm a bit new to Macs. I just got this Mac from one of my friends, I plug it in and it makes a clicking noise. I thought this noise was for the power being connected into the board. As I press the button to turn it on the white LED lights up, but only when the button is held pressed. There are also some more clicking noises like when a circuit breaker brakes. The computer however does not turn on (no fans, no boot, nothing but the white LED). I have just reset the PMU and will try later (I don't know what year this is I only have some general info on it). Any help in this will be EXTREMELY appreciated.
    Power PC G5 Dual Processer, 512MB400 (RAM), 160GB Hard Drive (Now has no hard drive), Nivida gForce 5200, SD (Don't know what that means), PCI-X, 56 KB Modem, Model Number: A1047.
    P.S. also the warrenty on this is up (it was like that when I got it) so I can't go to Apple for it. I am also not willing to spend $230 on a new power supply or anyother thing expensive (well maybe later if I have the money).
    Thanks in advance, Chucklz

    Hi Chucklz-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards
    Since you have already reset the PMU, you most likely have a bad power supply or logic board.
    However, replacing the battery is cheap and easy and if that fixes the problem you will be better off than the alternative: Battery Replacement Instructions

  • My Power Mac G4 Won't turn on

    Hi, Experts.
    My G4 has problem. After I put it asleep, its power has gone and it won't turn on. When I press the power button, the light is on shortly and very short sound ( not chime but mechanical). I tried reset PMU already and thought the battery has problem, so I changed new battery. Actually, this happened the day before yesterday and yesterday suddenly it turned on for several hours and when I turned off, it won't turn on again. Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Is the startup problem you are having with the Powerbook G4 you list ion your profile, or with a G4 desktop?

  • Power Mac G4 not turning on after clean shutdown, works otherwise.

    My Power Mac G4 does not turn back on after a clean shutdown, but turns on after being disconnected from the power. If I shut it down cleanly (Apple menu -> Shutdown), it shuts down, but then the power button does not work. After unplugging the computer and plugging it back in, the computer is able to power on successfully. I have reset the PRAM and have reseated the PSU connector.
    I am using Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11, but the same problem occurs under Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8. I don't think the operating system really matters with this type of issue though, because the power button literally will not respond until I unplug and replug the computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Still not sure what Mac you have, but do you have a multimeter?
    You can convert an ATX PSU for use on a G4...

  • HT1305 how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?

    how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?

    Ok, I saw that error in your logic. A Dual G5 2.3 or even a Dual Core 2.3 does NOT use LCS at all. Its air cooled and if anything if the OP is experiencing this problems could be due to possible heatsink paste drying up. He might have to re-apply MX 7 or Arctic Silver.
    The only G5's that use LCS are: G5 dual 2.5 from Late 2004, the G5 Dual 2.7 from Early 2005, and lastly the G5 Quad-Core from Late 2005-end of September 2006.
    Hope this helps.

  • Power mac G5 turns on but will not boot up

    Hello,
    I have the last power mac G5 quad core made before apple switched over to intel. I have not used he computer in about 3 month and it worked fine when I put it into storage but when I tried to turn it on today it will not boot up.
    There is constantly a yellow light on near to where the RAM snaps in even when the computer is off. (this is the 3rd light up from the bottom and the only on that is on at this point)
    When I press the power button a red light turns on for about one second. Next to this light are the words LED806 Checkstop and it is offset to the right of the other lights a little bit when looking into the side panel of the computer. This light also lights up briefly when I press the power button to turn off the computer.
    After pressing the power button another red light turns on just above the yellow light that is always on and the screen is still black. Then the screen eventually turns grey with the apple logo as it normally looks except some of the pixels are off colored a bit in square patterns across the screen. When this happens a green light turns on just below the yellow light. Now there are three lights on all at once.
    Next the screen briefly turns light blue and then a little darker shade of blue and the computer will not boot up or go any further than this point.
    Can anybody tell me what is going on here and is there any way to fix this?
    Is there any way to reset or reboot the computer this the install disk?

    Hi Mike,
    LED 1—CPU A:  red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    LED 2—Overtemp:  red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    LED 3—Power On:  red—the main power is on
    LED 4—Trickle:  yellow—Power Mac G5 is plugged into the wall correctly
    LED 5—Open Firmware good:  green—no problem
    LED 6—CPU B:  red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    LED 7—Checkstop:  red—contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

  • G5 Power Mac will not turn on.

    I have a G5 dual 1.8, one of the earlier models, and I'm guessing the ram restart thing will not work on it. I was just using Safari, and the computer completely shut down, since then, I have not been able to turn it back on, I've tried using a different power cord, and I'm wondering if replacing the power supply will be my best bet.

    Hi, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
    Well - if you have checked that the mains power right up to the G5 is definitely good (and have waggled the plug in the socket at the back of the G5, for good luck) - you could try resetting the PMU/SMU
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
    but, if you do not get a 'relay-click' from the PSU, low-down at the back of the G5, when you first connect the mains power, it probably won't help.
    There is a rather gloomy symptom chart (at page 104 in Preview) here - and also instructions.
    If you wish to take a gamble on it being the PSU that's the cause, they may be available here

  • I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro. I have bought it just 5 months back. All of a sudden, i am unable to turn the mac on. It doesn't even get Charged. What could be the issue ?

    I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro. I have bought it just 5 months back. All of a sudden, i am unable to turn the mac on. It doesn't even get Charged. What could be the issue ?

    If you're unable to turn it on, let alone even charge it then it definitely sounds like a battery issue to me. I'd wait for someone else to reply just to be sure but I think somehow the battery by the sounds of it must have died. However, I could be very wrong.
    If you're still under applecare which you should be then it should be an easy free fix. Hope this helps!

  • HT1212 trying to restore ipod but the power button is stuck and i'm unable to turn it off. I don't know the passcode and it says to connect to itunes. what do i do

    I tried following the directions that I received about restoring my iPod touch. But there is one flaw. My power button is stuck and I am unable to turn it off. How can I go about either getting it fixed or restoring my iPod?

    Easy, first make sure that the itunes on your computer is up to date. Next connect the ipod to your computer. If you have itunes 11.0 or above, wait until the device appears in the upper right hand side of the screen, or you can press ctrl-s, and the side menu will appear, and you can see more clearly the ipod appearing under the device category. Next simply click on the ipod and on the summary screen, you should see restore. Press restore, and you will see a dialog box asking to back-up & restore, restore only, or cancel. If you have information to save, press back-up & restore, if you want to wipe the device clean and start over, press restore. Once it's all done, you should be good.
    If your ipod is less than a year old and not a refurbished device, contact Apple at 800-676-2775 for assistance on repair and replace. If you are near an Apple Store, go to http://www.apple.com/retail/ and find your local Apple Store and set-up a genius appointment and go in and have your device repaired or replaced.If your ipod is a refurbished device, it has to be 90 days old or less to be repaired or replaced for free.I hope this helps.
