Power Macintosh 7600 USB output

I have purchased a Brother HL-5240 printer that I am primarily using with my G3 and G4 computers. I however also have a Power Macintosh 7600 running system 8.1 that I would like to occasionally print from. The computer has appletalk and serial port, the printer has USB and parallel ports. Any inexpensive solutions out there.
Thanks for the input.

Because you need to be running OS 8.6 (or newer) for USB support, you'd need to purchase a universal Mac OS installer CD for OS 8.5 or 8.5.1 (updated to 8.6 via free download), 8.6 (which is more rare to find), or 9.x. The Brother download page for the printer's pre-OS X PostScript driver specifies OS 9.x. It's possible that they just didn't test it with 8.6 and it will function anyway, but keep that in mind if you decide to buy an OS installer CD. A 7600 would have no problem running OS 9.1, as long as you have adequate memory installed in it. Additionally, I'd recommend looking for an older (now-discontinued) USB 1.1 PCI card. The 7600's PCI controller could have problems with a USB 2.0 card, because they're multi-bus cards.

Power Macintosh 7600/132. How do I import a program I downloaded on a CD. The mac does´t show the CD ikon on the desktop

Power Macintosh 7600/132. How do I import a program into my Mac 7600/132 I downloaded on a CD from my iMac. The Mac 7600/132 does´t show the CD ikon on the desktop. Im stuck here cuz I need the program to transfer the files on my Mac 7600/132 to my new iMac.
Can anyone help me?
all the best

Hi,
If I understand things correctly, the minimum requirements for Cubase SX 3 are a Power Macintosh G4 and Mac OS X 10.3.3. If so, that means that the program cannot be used on a Power Macintosh 7600/132. That would also explain why the aforementioned file is a .dmg (a disk image type used with Mac OS X).
You may want to contact the manufacturer Steinberg for information about whether another program/version for Mac OS 9 or earlier is available.
If you just wish to transfer files on the 7600/132 to the new iMac, Ethernet can be used locally (TCP/IP, via a router with a switch). "Normal" file sharing does not work because of operating system incompatibilities. However, you could install a small FTP server (such as the now free NetPresenz) on the 7600/132, and then access the files using an FTP client on the modern machine. Alternatively, you could use a "cloud drive" on the Internet. The Danish System 7.6 should include basic TCP/IP software. It should be possible to use a CD-R for any needed transfers of files (like the FTP server software) to the 7600/132, unless that computer is capable of connecting directly to the Internet.

Power macintosh 7600/132

hello everyone, today i was looking for a tiger install disc that my dad lost and i found a power macintosh 7600/132. could someone tell me how much money i could get for this?

Here's the specs on your 7600 http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac/stats/powermac7600132.html
Probably less than $20. You can buy the early G4's for around $100.
Rather than trash it, offer it for free on your local Craig's List or your local Freecycle.
 Cheers, Tom

Moving files from a Power mac 7600

Hi,
My friend's Dad has 2 Macs, a power mac 7600 and a iMac.
He would like to get a bunch of files off a power macintosh 7600 on to an external hard drive, to be accessed on the imac. Is this possible and what external hard drive would you recommend?
Thanks for any insights!
cheers!

Whew, this isn't going to be easy at all of the 4 ways I can think of due to the ports involved on both ends!
1. Compressing them & eMailing them if the 7600 connects to the Internet.
2. Ethernet & File Sharing, not easy to connect the 2 but possible.
OSX.4.x lost the file transfer ability of Appletalk... 10.1.5 thru 10.3.9 had it!
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301183
With OS9 set with Appletalk to using TCP/IP, and or Chooser>AppleShare+IP, you can connect to the 10.4.8 machine.
Another solution is OpenDoor's $39 Shareway IP, (some OS7, 8, 9 releases had a limited version included)...
http://www.opendoor.com/shareway/
Which makes OS9 Tiger compatable.
"Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461
3. Finding a hard to find SCSI external Drive & an even harder to find Firewire<->SCSI converter.
4. Via Floppy Disk & Finding a USB Floppy for the newer on. Can't remember if they had an Internal Floppy on the 7600.

Power Macintosh 4400/200 (7220) – No video output

Hi guys
In my collection, I've got a "mutant mac", a Power Macintosh 4400/200 and I'd like to bring it back to life again!
The owner wanted to throw it away, so I got it (with mouse and keyboard) and the same day, I also saved a boxed Power Mac G4 AGP 350 Mhz from being recycled...
Well, the problem: No video output at all! As I don't have any old Apple CRTs (yet ;–) ), I tried 5 other CRTs with a DB-15 to VGA adapter (tried all possible resolutions). The CRTs lights don't even get green when I connect it to the 4400.
But I think that it still boots (start up gong, hard drive seems to be working). I've done PRAM-reset several times...
So:
1. Adapter dead?
2. VRAM dead?
3. PRAM battery dead? But that wouldn't affect the graphics, I guess...
Where would you start?
Thx a lot!
Nicolas (from Switzerland)

Hi!
The previous owner already got it with the problem some years ago... and it is possible, but I'm not sure, that the guy who gave it to him already got it with the problem too ^^ Well...
I've noticed something: When I press the start button (not holding it like for a forced shut down) when it is running, it immediately shuts down... normal? Or does it depend on the OS?
The VRAM seems clean, but the RAM... not corroded, but maybe it could need some cleaning... I'll do that (and some research about the model).
I think it's still original (not upgraded).
VRAM: AP2761-04 original (on the 200, 2MB VRAM)
Like this one http://www.ebay.de/itm/Apple-Power-Mac-4400-2MB-Video-Memory-Module-333-1083-AP2 761-04-/140702460450
RAM: in slot 1, I have a Viking Components E213018
Slot 2 is empty
In slot 3: SEC KMM366F213BK-6U (on mine, its' written Korea 9710 instead)
Like this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SDRAM-168-PIN-DIMM-SAMSUNG-KMM366F213BK-6U-EDO-16MB-U N-VINTAGE-RARE-16-MB-16MB-/111222598109?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_23&hash=item19e56229 dd
But I think that a new PRAM-battery should work!
Thanks

Audio No Longer Working on USB Output

Hi,
I've been using Audirvana, Bit Perfect, and other music software applications with iTunes.
Last night I unhooked the power cord and the music stopped playing. I've tried everything and anything to fix this but I am no longer getting audio out from my USB port (I've tried both ports).
When I go into Audo MIDI Setup I see my bridge (Musical Fidelity USB -> SPDIF Converter) as always. However, when I select it and "Use This Device for Sound Output" nothing happens and it doesn't change (it stays on either Airplay or Built-in Output).
In addition, I am unable to change anything on the USB Output (Master Volume, Analog 1, Analog 2...the only thing I an do is 'mute' which I don't want to do).
When I look at my Musical Fidelity Bridge and DAC it *appears* that they are getting signals - they both say 'Locked' when a signal is present.
I wonder if it's because the volume on my USB output is so low and I can't change it? See picture.
Please help! The only reason I have this MacBook Pro is to play music through my system.

Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

Need help finding a good monitor for a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0)

Hi
I've owned Macs since the 90's - the past 7 years have been using Imacs... I'm going to purchase a Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.0) with the Nvidia 6600LE card. Whats a decent monitor for it? It's DVI output only as far as I can tell - I want at least a 22 or 24 inch monitor and want a fairly inexpensive one as I'm a poor man (Social Security disability). Can anyone suggest one - I can't tell what screen resolutions are optimal for the card (googled till my eyes hurt) if I knew that I could start hunting CompUSA, Sams Club, etc.

Check out newegg.com. I just got the same G5 you have this past summer and a couple months ago finally decided it was time to ditch the old 21" CRT Viewsonic Ive been using for years.
I picked up a 21" Acer widescreen HD LCD on sale for $119.00 from newegg and could not have been happier..
Ive never bought anything from Acer before but its so far got no complaints from me other then, the DVI cable they give you is the wrong type to use with your G5's video card. Lucky for me it had a DVI-VGA adapter so I could get running. Its running just fine at 1900x1200 without any dual link DVI connecter.
One thing I like about newegg is you get to read user reviews and they are not afraid to tell you if something is bad. Theyve always got different models and brands rotating on and off sale so check em out and make sure you check the reviews and you can find a killer deal.
I think the Viewsonics I looked at in the same size were around $199 or so.. I wouldve got one but Im a broke and jobless kinda guy nowadays so had to get one as cheap as I could..

Pulsing static sound is audible thru speakers or earphones, but not USB output.

Compaq Presario CQ532oF Windows 7 64 bit
Pulsing static sound is audible thru speakers or earphones, but not USB output. Makes listening to talk or music unbearable. This just started a few days ago. Volume control affects the volume. Does not matter if audio program is playing or not playing. Pulses are about 2 seconds duration - sounds like a phonograph record at the end of play where the tone arm didn't pick up.
Is this likely an amplifier problem? Is the amp on the sound card?

Hi vc329,
Doesn't sound like encouraging news, though it is odd that the sound came back for a short while at least. If you still haven't rebooted the PC since putting it to sleep and loosing the sound, then I would suggested going ahead and rebooting or even doing a full hard reset (power down, remove the AC adapter, remove the battery, hold down the power button for 20 seconds or so, then reconnect the AC power and Battery and boot up) to see if the sound can be recovered again.
If the sound still doesn't work, Check Device Manager to see if the sound driver still looks OK, make sure you are using the latest driver again (it looks like the latest driver is 6.10.6381.0), another option might also be to try the older driver that is still available from the site, or try recovering the original driver shipped on the PC. The steps to do these things are covered in the document listed below, in Step 6 (Restoring the Audio Driver), Step 7 (Updating the Audio Driver), and Step 8 (Checking Device Manager):
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
If none of that seems to help, I'd recommend testing the hardware using Step 9 in that document.
If the online warranty check sees you as out of warranty, you may still be OK if you have the original proof of purchase (receipt) from wherever you purchased the PC, but you may have to provide it when calling HP for service if the sound can't be fixed. If you are close to the end of warranty I'd recommend calling customer care for your area (I assume you are still in Asia) and validating the warranty with them as soon as possible just to make sure.
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

USB output with headset failure!

Hello,
I have a strange problem. The USB port works on both sides
with every other peripheral. Only when I use the headset which
also works (tested on another computer) does the USB output
not work at all. The audio mini jack port works too!
The preferences audio DO recognize the USB headset! The
input registers a voice too! Tried Audio Midi too! Please help!!!

Sometimes USB issues can be fixed by resetting the Power Management Unit (PMU). See this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

Power Macintosh G3 (Beige) smells of smoke on startup

I recently inherited a Power Macintosh G3 (Beige) and was very eager to get it running.
I tried starting it and nothing happened. So I toggled the switch on the power supply from "115" to "230", thinking that maybe that would change something. I tried, and that configuration failed as well.
So I toggled the switch back to "115", booted it, and it seemed to be running fine. However, I began to smell something burning inside. Though there was no smoke, I could very clearly smell that something was very wrong. So I pulled the power.
Any help is appreciated.

Major components for that Mac are cheap on the used market. If you want to get it running, you could press on, or you could tear it apart and find out why is smells burnt. Individual components inside the power supply will only be available if you can still read the numbers off them -- no one is repairing these power supplies. But if something dies, the failure is likely to be "won't power on". Then you spend US$10 for a used power supply on eBay and keep debugging.
The PRAM battery is likely the reason why you get no video. As Don said, these Macs are notorious for that problem. After replacing it, you need to do two things:
1) make certain the sound card is fully seated. Jeff, a very knowledgeable fellow about these Macs, suggest you remove all three screws in the sound card, bend the tab to force it deeper into the slot, and omit the outside screw when re-installing.
2) press and hold the tiny Cuda Reset button (located flat on the board beyond the PCI slots) for a quarter minute, then release. Avoid momentary presses. Wait at least five seconds after releasing the button before proceeding.
If what you really want is the data from that Mac, you can put its drive in another Mac that accepts IDE/ATA drives, or buy a cheap non-enclosure that provides power and a USB interface to a more modern Mac.

Can't install OS 8.6 on Power Macintosh 6100/66

I have a Power Macintosh 6100/66 with a 350MB hard drive
I want to install MkLinux as well but the drive is just too small, so I got a 2GB drive and put that in instead.
After booting from my CD I tried to run the installer but just got a "this program cannot run on your computer"
Can someone help me with this?

Hi, Agent 24 -
Disks that have the designations "Software Install" and "Software Restore" are OEM disks, meaning disks that came with a machine when it was new. Almost always those kinds of disks are model-specific - they are usable only on the model with which they came., and not on a different model. OEM disks usually also state a model designation on them; however, since the hardware on all models which have the same general class designation (such as "iMac") is not the same, an OEM disk will usually not work on a different model even from the same class.
Retail OS 8.5, OS 8.5.1, and OS 8.6 disks have a green label, do not state a model type on the label, and do not show the designation "Software Install" or "Software Restore".
One source for retail disks is Hardcore Mac; Googling may locate others on line; and EBay is a possibility. Regardless of the source, you will need a retail Install disk for that model.

Power Macintosh 7200 to Mac Mini back up and secure wipe question

Hi all, nearly figured this on my own but hope that someone here can fill in the gaps.
I have a clunky old 7200/75/16 (no upgrade card, bog standard machine) I want to sell/give/dump.
Before that, I need to back up the 500 MB HDD (hard to believe that was big once, now looking at a 500 GB HDD for the new machine!) and then secure wipe it.
I've learned that I can get halfway there with a crossover cable and Apple Talk. So far, so good.
Now, how about the secure wipe? I've had a look but I've not had any success in finding a how-to.
I have a feeling I can't use Disk Utility in Leopard for this, but maybe I am wrong.
Advice is sought from anyone here that can share their expertise on the best way to go.
A cheap/free solution (that doesn't destroy the machine) would be welcomed!
If relevant: I don't have the installer floppies for the 7200. I unwisely bought the machine without them but vaguely recall from an earlier Macintosh that Disk First Aid had some kind of format facility though I doubt it was far from secure by today's standards. I figure I can find a set of installer disks on eBay to get the 7200 operational again once I've completed this chore...

I've learned that I can get halfway there with a crossover cable and Apple Talk.
File sharing via AppleTalk cannot be used with the most modern operating systems. You should be able to use TCP/IP. A third-party program may be of interest. Also, see this article for some general information.
Now, how about the secure wipe?
One could use Drive Setup (a 1.7.3 version is available for download) for this. Under the Functions menu you will find Initialization Options, where "Zero all data" can be chosen. However, the program has to run from another disk (such as a bootable floppy). It is possible to create and modify a startup floppy on the 7200.
A third-party application such as Wipe Info (part of Norton Utilities, commercial) or Burn 2.5 (freeware) could be used, too.
If relevant: I don't have the installer floppies for the 7200.
The Disk Tools PPC (here) is one thinkable startup floppy for the Power Macintosh computer in question. If necessary, a complete System 7.5.3 (e.g., the International English version here) can be downloaded from Apple.

Change from an older Power Macintosh 7200/90 to a new iMac or Mac Pro

On my Power Macintosh 7200/90 using Mac OS 8.0 I have stored a lot of very sensitive data which I cannot afford to loose. My machine works very good at this moment, however, I want to buy a new one like an iMac or a Mac Pro with the new generation of . Of course, I use a very powerful backup-program with an external hard drive and a Retrospect-backup program. Nevertheless, I want to further use my Office suite and other useful programs like i.e. the retrospect-software.
My questions now:
-- Is it possible to buy a new Mac and clone/mirrow everything from the old machine to the new one except the Operating System ?
-- Is there any store close to Koblenz, Germany who is knowledgeable enough to provide this service for me provided I buy a new Mac ?

Accessing Backup data:
Your 7200/90 uses SCSI drives, so an external drive is likely to be a SCSI drive. A newer Mac that can accept a PCI SCSI card would be required to read backup data directly off a SCSI drive. A MacBook would NOT be able to do this easily.
According to this article, Retrospect 6.1.138 supports Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. So it appears that there is a way to restore your backup data using Retrospect:
http://kb.dantz.com/display/2n/articleDirect/index.asp?aid=9628&r=0.6172602
This site and this article may also be available in German or French.
Accessing the original data:
• If your WLAN Base Station has an available RJ-45 Ethernet port, you can add the 7200 to your existing Network and use Apple File Sharing to copy the files to your newer Mac.
• Shared Disks and Directories appear as a Hard Drive Icon on the Desktop of the Mac initiating the Sharing, and can be copied using the Finder Drag and Drop.
• Apple File Sharing works on Macs from System 7.5.3 through the current version of Mac OS X. To Share with Macs running 7.5.3 through 8.6, you must start File Sharing at the Older Mac.
• The software for File Sharing is included with Mac OS, and may already be installed.

The display speakers, the camera display, and all three USB outputs in the back are not working?

The speakers, the camera display, and all the USB outputs in the back are not working.
I was typing a paper last night when the electricity went off, and 5min later went back on, and all the display speakers, the camera display, and all the USB outputs in the back are not working.
FYI, it's LED Cinema display.
Solutions? Suggestions?

Hi,
Actually BACK is standard user command so it is not stopping and going to selection screen.
Give some other use command like 'BCK' and try....

How to use a high power wireless-n usb adapter

I recently purchased a kinamax high power wireless-n USB 2.0 adapter to boost my wifi signal. The data range is 802.11n. The only problem is that I can't use the adaptor. The box says that the supported OS is MAC OS X. But when I connect the adapter nothing happens. There is not even sign that the USB adapter is connected. Can anyone help me?

Hi Kelvin,
I understand that you want to control pins on your serial port using LabVIEW. Since you are using Windows XP, only LabVIEW version 7.0 will be able to control the pins. The pins can be controlled by modifying the values of the access registers that windows associates with each pin. If you are using LabVIEW 7.0, then the VI's located on the Funtions >> Advanced >> Port I/O palette should help you assign values to the proper pins.
This information can also be found on another discussion forum thread located at the following url:
