Power mac g5 using itunes

I am using power mac G5 trying to play itunes tv shows however the progress bar show that the movie is playing but there is not picture or audio. Prior to today it was working OK. My intent is to use the G5 as a media computer to play movies on an LG TV. As of today the iTunes log in popup does not appear, perhaps that is the problem, but again the progress bar indicates the TV show is playing.
Can anyone help me understand what the problem may be?
I do not have much time using the G5 but at this rate it is about ready for the yard.
Thank for helping

Can't get my g5 power mac to install iTunes 10.7 and link iphone5

I have a power mac G5 and its about 7 years old now, it's worked fine before updating iTunes but now I can't get it higher than iTunes 10.3, I recently bought a iPhone 5 thinking it would link no problem as I only use G5 for iTunes and my previous iphone4, is there no way of linking iphone5 or updating to iTunes 10.7? I don't understand why you need a powerful mac to run itunes10.7- another money making scheme from apple it seems!? Please help

iTunes 10.7 requires an Intel-based Mac and Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, both requirements being listed clearly in the system requirements for the iPhone 5. Sorry, but you will not be able to sync your iPhone 5 to your PowerMac. It has nothing to do with computing power but rather with Apple's certain disinterest in supporting a computer platform they discontinued years ago.
Regars.

Export video from multiple iOS devices to a Mac without using iTunes

I am tasked with importing video files from multiple iPads to a single Mac to aggregate for editing.
The file sizes on each device are many gigs large. I don't want to use iMovie on the Mac or iOS.
I don't want to use iTunes (since there are many iPads not owned by me to import video from).
Suggestions?

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

How do I move a purchased movie from one Mac to an Mac Air using iTunes

You should start "Home Sharing". You will need to authorise your two computer. Once Home Sharing is activated, you will see shared iTunes libraries and it will allow you to simply drag'n drop any content.

Deleting iTunes files on a Mac when using iTunes Match

When using iTunes Match, how do you go about deleting the music that resides on the Mac HD? With my music being stored on the iCloud, it sure would be good to free up some HD space.

Music is deleted exactly the same way as prior to using iTunes Match.

What motherboard form factor does the power mac g5 use?

I have an old power mac g5 case which I'd like to re purpose into my new editing pc, and I am wondering if it uses a proprietary form factor motherboard, or a standard form factor motherboard like atx, micro atx, or mini itx to know if I'd have to do some case modding or not, thanks for all replies, and I know I will need to mod the cables within the case like the power button, so no need to make note of that! Also, I know it would take less effort just to get another case, but I'd like to work on this case.

If you don't mind some work...

Why does my Power Mac G5 use 5 times as much power after entering Sleep mode automatically as when I put it to sleep manually?

My Power Mac G5 (4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5) with an Apple 17" CRT monitor, an HP LaserJet 1200 Printer and an HP4570c scanner draws approximately 200 Watts of electrical power after entering the "Sleep" mode automatically, but only 41 Watts of electrical power if I put it to sleep manually.
I have tried changing the Energy Saver preferences in every way that I can think of, with no effect.
What am I doing wrong?

Hmm, 159 Watt diff, that's interesting, can't picture Hard Drives using that much, can you disconnect one devie at a time to test it's not them?

FaceTime on a mac while using iTunes

Im using FaceTime on a mac and all the sound and the mic work perfectly but when i play music either on iTunes or through youtube my sound gets muted and the person I'm facetimeing with can't hear me.

itunes muting is a feature of facetime. but the whole youtube thing seems funny. I've never had this issue but will look for it next time I face time. More inforation of what is going on when you are using youtube and facetime together would be appreciated.
do you have a sound card with drivers installed.
when you are in audio midi setup, what does it say that the sound input is?
what are you using a mic through headphones, the internal mic or a mic connected via the line input?

Anyway to transfer files between iPod & Mac without using iTunes or WiFi?

I need a way to transfer files to and from my iPod touch without having to sync to iTunes, and without using WiFi.
Something like Bluetooth would be ideal, except it only seems to work with other iOS 5 devices for some reason
I've seen various apps that seem to do it, but they all require iTunes sync.
I cannot sync to iTunes as they don't make a compatible version that will work on my PPC G5.
Please advise, thanks.

A G5 PowerMac can run OS X 10.5.8, which is capable of running the latest version of iTunes. So if necessary update your system to Leopard or the correct incremental update of Leopard (if you are already on 10.5).
EDIT: Sorry Philly_Phan.. this was intended for the OP.

Hello ~ I bought a G4 Hello ~ I bought a G4 Power Mac & had used it with a standard monitor. Somebody gave me a M8536 23" Cinema Display. I think they should be compatible. My G4 seems to be missing what I think is called an ADC connection.

Should I just buy a video card with an ADC connection?

Hi Mark,
I didn't check your link on your original post. Sorry.
There is one other model that is a 400 MHz model that will accept cards with an ADC connection port.
That's the Gigabit Ethernet model.
You do not have this model Mac.
The table in the link we both have show you what video connections the and locations for those on the back panel.
Clearly, your PowerMac doesn't have an ADC connector for the card that is already installed.
So, you can conclude that you have the AGP sawtooth model that only uses VGA or DVI connection.
You can give me your PowerMac's model number to be sure.
It's located on the back panel somewhere near all of the connections.
That'll clinch, for sure, which model you do have.
You will have to purchase an ADC to DVI adapter when you decide which card to update to per JapanMac's suggestion.
The adapter doesn't affect video performance.
Just allows for a connection change at the computer.
This is about as straightforward as this gets.
The absence of an ADC connection port means you have a Mac with a VGA and/or DVI connection instead.
An adapter will be needed to use the 23 inch monitor you have with the card you have installed now or any future video card upgrade.

Photo Booth on Power Mac G5 using external DV camera

Hi all, I just upgraded to Leopard and I love it. One thing I'm trying to do is to run Photo Booth using firewire 400 and my camcorder Canon XH A1. I got the video going pretty much right a way, however, when I try to record I get no sound. I also had my external mic that is connected to my mac via USB turned on while recording and no result.
Can anyone recommend any solution to this?
Also, I've noticed that my photo booth does not have video backgrounds and dropped backgrounds options, like you'd see on some of the newer macs. I assume it's because I'm not an intel based machine. However, is there a work around that to get those backgrounds?
Thank you all

I love when no one replies to my posts. Thanks people.

PSE 6.0 Mac - Apple Power Mac G5, - Which Camera RAW?

I have a Apple Power Mac G5. Uses Power PC Processor. Not Intel. Also have PSE 6.0 for Mac installed.
So which Camera RAW do I load with this setup? Tried to load Camera RAW 5.6 to no avail.
Thanks
Bob AZ

ACR 5.6 is compatible with PSE6.
You can install the update manually.
1. Exit Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge
2. Open the download file and double-click CameraProfiles.dmg and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS3/File Formats
5. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop Elements or Adobe Bridge.

Can I get iTunes TV shows on OS 10.6.8 using iTunes 11.4??

I know this sounds naive. I have never tried to do any TV with iTunes before, although I've ordered music. I'd like to know if on OS 10.6.8 (mac Mini), using iTunes 11.4, with a wifi/internet service providing 12 mps "downstream," I can get streaming TV on my monitor.

You can download the shows to your computer.

Transferring files from power mac to p.c. via hard drive

I have trouble playing 20 questions to get to the heart of questions and problems and trying to offer ideas, too!
A PC can't read HFS+ natively. It needs help.
And a G5 can't use the latest software or run Windows on it.
From other people I've learned that other NTFS drivers are not as well built or don't work as well as Paragon. And HFS+ driver for Windows from MediaFour does not seem to work well with Windows and doesn't have many fans.
Can't help if it is all greek though.
