Powerbook G3 Bronze

I have 2 powerbook g3's that I use as "backup" computers, both have been stored for some time. I took them out today and neither will start, no noise, nothing. I realize the batteries are dead, but I plugged them in and got the same nothing. Anyone got advice-tips that might help?
Thanks Michael Fruin

Daikuma,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Sorry for the first post...I hit the wrong button.
There are several possible causes for your inaccurate clock:
-A dead PRAM battery should not affect your clock as long as power is maintained to the powerbook. Unlike a desktop machine, these portables can run just fine without a PRAM battery. However, if the main battery is dead and you then turn off the powerbook and disconnect the power adapter, time & date will be lost. Even if you have a fully charged PRAM battery, it will run flat in about 5 hours if there is no charged main battery or power adapter connected. Here is an article on the rechargeable backup (PRAM) battery:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30580
Question: Will the clock maintain time as long as the power adapter is connected?
-Are you occasionally on the Internet with this computer and have the time zone set incorrectly for the time server?
-A failing clock chip on the logic board can be a problem. Does the clock slowly lose time over the day?

Powerbook G3 (Bronze) Won't Boot! Exec Fromat Error

Recently, I started a software update from Apple. During the update, my PBG3 froze. After a hard boot, I get these three line that keeps repeating.
(Current Date and Time) init: can't exec/bin/sh for single user: Exec format error
(Current Date and Time) init: can't exec/bin/sh for single user: Exec format error
(Current Date and Time) init: can't exec/bin/sh for /etc/rc: Exec format error
This keeps happening. I have reset Pram, PMU, etc. I have had this machine for over 8 years and I have upgraded RAM and the Hard Drive. I fear that I have tried for one too many updates. Please Help!

Maybe I should elaborate. I am using a PowerBook G3 Bronze keyboard, running 10.2 (Was at 10.3.9)
A few weeks ago I was online (wirelessly through Verizon DSL) and everything froze. Tried to restart over and over and kept getting Darwin. Reinstalled the system software (back to 10.2) from original disks. Same problem. Now when I turn on the machine I get the MAC OSX start up screen where I log in. I hit log-in and type in my password from the pop up and then it goes to the Darwin/BSD screen. So, after looking though the help and threads I have come to this point of starting up in single user mode and this is what happens:
@ the sh-2.05a# I typed in /sbin/fsck -y (then here is the rest as it shows on screen)

That's it. Then it sits there. Sounds like it's working for a while then like goes to sleep. This is the 2nd time I have done it. The first time I let it sit for like 1 hour and a half. Then I shut it off with the power button and restarted it, got the same results and so I started it in single user mode and tried this again. The only thing that changed from the first time to the second was the volume free block count the first time it said "(It should be 1844564 instead of 1786963) It is currently 12:59 and it has been since 12:06 when it said "Repairing volume." Can't hear anything. Can someone please take pity on me and let me know what I should do before I ruin this thing? I have been the only owner of this thing and have never had a history of problems. (Except for battery drainage, but now I use the adapter)
One other thing: When I get to the Darwin screen and it asks for my login and then password, I haven't got that right either. It says
Darwin/BSD (G3computer.local.) (console)
login:
haven't a clue what they want. Tried a bunch of things, but with no success.

PowerBook G3 Bronze keyboard

Hello,
I've an dug out my old PowerBook G3 Bronze keyboard and an old Airport card. Is it possible to fit it in the old beast? Couldn't find any info in the Support section.
Thanks for any help.

The "bronze" keyboard Lombard does not have an internal slot for the AirPort card.
The first PowerBook with the internal AirPort card slot was the Pismo.
Options for the Lombard are:
PCMCIA wireless card
Ethernet wireless adapter (like the Linksys WET11 or WET54G)

Powerbook G3 Bronze keyboard will not startup

I have a nice Bronze keyboard machine that I have handed down to me.
It will not power up. But, if I jiggle (without pushing the start button) the power supply plug (while it is plugged in the back) the green light will go on, and some startup sounds for a second or so. Then it powers itself off.
Things I have tried.
-extended power reset switch pushing
-shimming the power plug in various positions, but never get more than a second of power.
-significant surgery on it, looking for loose items.
-pressed down hard on the right side of the processor board
-unplugged the PRAM battery
-removed the battery, keyboard, extra RAM
Any other troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated. Since it is DOA, I am ready to try difficult or scary things
mark

I finally have a working Lombard at home to play with. Here is what I found.
It appears that the battery and charger are good. I can put these two on the good Lombard and they work. With the battery fully charged (from the good Lombard), I can boot the bad Lombard, and all seems well.
So, it appears that the something in the internal power system is not working properly. Looking at pbfixit, they suggest the Power Card. But the symptoms that it will fix "are battery charging problems, and drive bay problems". This does not seem to fit my symptoms.
I am thinking that it is probably the Sound Card, or the female power plug on the sound card. But, at $100 to get one from pbfixit, kind of steep for a test guess.
Are there any other tests or swaps that I can do while I have a good Lombard here.
The obvious one is to take the sound card out of the good Lombard, and put it in the bad Lombard. But, this is a bit more scary disassembly that I want to do on my friends loaner Lombard.
Thanks for reading my post.

Powerbook G3 (bronze) won't recognize battery

Hello all,
I recently purchased a replacement (main) battery for my Lombard (NewerTechnoloy), and even though it indicates a full charge when I press the button on the side, my Powerbook shows a red "X" through the battery icon.
I've tried the battery in both the left- and -right slots with similar results.
Can anyone suggest something for me to try?
I'm trying to understand whether this new battery is the problem -- my old battery was the original Apple manufacture, and will not hold any charge at all.
--Bill

It could be a defective battery. You should contact NewerTech & get a replacement.

Help finding dvd rom for powerbook G3 M3553

I have an apple laptop powerbook G3 M3553 with mac os 8 and am wondering if I can get an internal dvd rom??? Any help is much appreciated!!

Jamie,
There are no "dummies", just users who are seeking answers.
I'm glad you explained why you wanted a DVD drive, and if I understand correctly, it is so your husband can watch DVD movies on the "Kanga" powerbook. Unfortunately, this is not going to work. A DVD drive can be connected either via the SCSI (square 30-pin port) on the back panel or possibly via a FireWire PC card inserted in the PCMCIA card slot on the left side of the powerbook. However, you would need third-party video player software like VideoLan's VLV Media Player, but there is no version for OS 9.x.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
In addition, even if there were DVD player software for 9.x, your playback would be very disappointing. Even using VLC on a Powerbook G3 Bronze Keyboard running OSX with a 400MHz CPU, playback is choppy. Your G3 Kanga only has a 250MHz CPU.
When DVDs first became popular, video CDs (VCD) were also released to meet the needs of those without DVD drives, and were widely available in the Far East. However, I have not checked on the availability of these versions locally and I would assume few stores carry a wide selection, if any. This would be the only practical way of playing movies on the Kanga.
http://www.mireth.com/doc/macvcd_readme.html
My suggestion would be to buy a portable DVD player with prices anywhere from $125 and up.

PowerBook G3 startup sound and nothing else

I recently became motivated to fix my old laptop that I had given up on long ago. It is a PowerBook G3 - Bronze Keyboard (M5343). If I push the power button the laptop makes the startup sound, however the screen never comes on and the harddrive does not appear to spin at all. There is a little activity going on - I can hear the hum of the fans and the caps/num lock lights turn on/off. the green power light remains off most of the time - while I have seen it blink on briefly, I cannot replicate it and forget the exact circumstances in which it came on.
After filtering through the discussions here I have tried the following to no avail.
- Start from CDs (OS9 & OSX) - seems like the necessary startup events needed to recognize me holding down keys or to kick on the CDROM drive are not occurring. the CD drive never spins.
- Reset PRAM - same as above - key combination is not recognized
- Reset PMU - doesn't change anything
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

PowerBook G3 M5343 Don't remember which OS version it is running

axelhonkrod, welcome to Apple Discussions.
I assume that the Mac has not been plugged into AC power. Therefore the internal PRAM battery has totally discharged. Sometimes disconnecting the PRAM battery will solve startup issues.
Here's some helpful laptop sites that will show you how.

IMac PowerPC G5 10.4.7 1.8ghz 1GB RAM keeps freezing

I hope someone my be able to give me some advice.
I went from an old black powerbook G3 bronze that I had had for years and had the usual motherboard issues toward the end of its life to an Imac G5 PowerPC, which I was very lucky to get some help with as I am a disabled student. Unfortunately, this meant that I was not allowed to buy it direct from apple and get applecare, and had to have it from a preferred supplier (in March 2005) with their own "support" - they are not mac specialists by any stretch of the imagination! The imac has always had a habit of freezing regularly, the drive would suddenly start spinning really loudly, the cpu would shoot up to 100% and the whole system would freeze. This happens whether I am running Word, Excel, Safari, iPhoto, iTunes, Mail, iCal or Addressbook. The support guy said it was nothing out of the ordinary and I just accepted that at the time, but a friend of mine recently came round to give me some mac tips and had the system freeze on him 3 times in an hour - he felt it was some kind of error made when the software was originally loaded by the preferred supplier, but the iMac is now out of their 12 month guarantee.
We ran disc utility from the installation disc to verify and repair the hard drive and erased the partition that had been installed on the hard drive by the supplier (pre-loaded with the software, so they didn't have to do too much when their disabled clients screwed up their computers, one of the support guys told me), did a full erase of the hard drive and then a clean install using the original discs that came with the computer, but still have the same problem.
Can anyone please offer some advice on what the issue might be?
Thanks!
2005 iMac PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.8 Ghz 1 GB Ram, PowerMac8,1

Christopher Mayled-
I am glad that you found the advice helpful. I had the same problem with my iMac and it *****. However, you did get your computer repaired and that is the bottom line.
We have three Dell laptops in the house, all covered by the infamous battery recall. Nobody from Dell has bothered to contact us yet. We have received no information in the mail. All three laptops were properly registered. I found out about the recall through the press.
I once had a stroller recalled by Toys R Us. I found out abput it by walking into a TRU and seeing the flyer hanging up on the bulletin board.
My guess is that if some of the recalled units fall through the cracks and do not get repaired then the company doing the recall saves some money. It isn't right but apparently it is what happens. Probably because of sheer numbers more than anything this happens but how do I know?

Will 9.2.2 Successfully Install On;

9.2.2 vanished on 6gb internal hard drive for power mac blue and white.
I should not have turned on Full Java Script when using Clasilla. They said it is in development and not recommended. http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/ somewhere on that site it will say that.
I am about to turn blue and white into a door stop.
I know that 9.2.2 will not install on any g4s or g5s. I will use them to watch videos.
I also like 9.2.2 because it always mounts external storage...so far. Perhaps the mounting issue is computer related and not os related.
MY QUESTIONS:
junky blue and white will not take retail os 9 dvd. (Yes, it has DVD drive) will it take cd?
What about g3 bronze keyboard?????
i think none of my 3 imacs have dvd player. ......
Will they take cd version,
if hard drive is blank?
if hard drive has 10.3.5 on it? ----how can I sneak 9.2.2 onto a hard drive with OS X already on it????
Presently:
junky blue and white: nothing.
imac g3 500mhz: 10.3.5
imac g3 400mhz: 10.3.5
another imac g3 400mhz: nothing.... (password protected OS X to be erased
ANOTHER Question: what is "Reset Password" feature on install disks????? )
My goals for these computers:
junky blue and white: new hard drive with 9.2.2 only.
imac g3 500mhz: 10.4.11 AND 9.2.2
imac g3 400mhz: 10.3.5 AND 9.2.2
imac g3 400mhz: 9.2.2 only ......unless os x password can be reset. then both OS 9 & X ....
2 bronze keyboards: certainly 9.2.2, possibly OS 10.x
all my existing internal hard drives...getting a "Toaster", recovering files, formatting as FAT, and then copying the files on them. also I am getting more hard drives.

Hi, In-Correct -
In addition to their original disks...
A B&W G3 should accept any version retail OS 9 Install CD.
A PowerBook G3 (Bronze keyboard) should also be able to accept any version retail OS 9 Install CD.
A 500MHz iMac G3 can be one of three different models. The first one, iMac (Summer 2000), can use either a retail OS 9.1 Install CD or a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD. The next two, iMac (Early 2001) and iMac (Summer 2001), can use only a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD.
A 400MHz iMac G3 can be one of three different models. The first one, iMac/iMac DV (Slot Loading), can use any version retail OS 9 Install CD. The next one, iMac (Summer 2000), can use either a retail OS 9.1 Install CD or a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD. The last one, iMac (Early 2001), can use only a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD.
Your best choice for an OS 9 Install CD to support any of the above machines is a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD.
As has been noted, all stand-alone OS 9 Install disks are CDs, not DVDs.
Once the machine has been booted to the CD, whether the hard drive is avilable on the desktop or is 'seen' by the installer depends upon whether the drive has had OS 9 drivers installed. If it is visible to the installer, you can install OS 9 on it. If it is not visible to the installer, you can not do so until OS 9 drivers have been installed. Unfortunately, installing OS 9 drivers usually means reformatting (which means erasing) the hard drive.
Article #TA20774 - Disk Is Available in Mac OS X But Not in Mac OS 9
The fact that OSX is present on the hard drive does not prevent the installation of OS 9 (provided the drive has OS 9 drivers). The OS 9 installer may balk at the presence of one of the folders OSX uses - an OS 9 installer can be confused by that, thinking that it is an unknown version of OS 9 and refusing to install on top of it. The solution for that issue is to do a Clean Install of OS 9 - doing so will not affect the install of OSX.
Article #TA43881 - Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation
...what is "Reset Password" feature on install disks?
That pertains to OSX, not to OS 9.

IBook G4 +Front Row =?

I have an iBook G4. I really want to have Front Row. As I understand it, one really doesn't need the remote to control, but rather, one can use System Preferences to set control keys. However, is there a way in which I can download and install Front Row to an iBook.

Front Row 1.2.2 is working great on my iBook 12" 800MHz.
I copied the software-update-installed Front Row.app from my Intel iMac to my iBook.
I backed up the hacked v1.0.1 first, including the prefs. Since you can't remove Front Row.app from the /System/Library/CoreServices because it's "in use" you need to restart holding the shift key down for a Safe Boot.
Login and then remove the hacked version after using admin pw.
Then copy the 1.2.2 version from a properly installed "legal" Mac to the CoreServices folder. I also removed the prefs file as a safeguard as well.
Restart and you're in! It is much, much snappier! It's really unbelievable the difference.
Now with my iBook/10.4.6 640Mb/800MHz, I am NOT experiencing any problems...yet...and maybe the problems are isolated to PowerBooks as mentioned in another post.
But hey, it works now for me! Hack-free!

Apps appearing as folders

I'm working on a friend's G3 Powerbook. He has OS X, build 4K78 installed (the original version of OS X, I believe).
Here's the problem... all of the apps are appearing as folders. Double-clicking on a document says that the application can't be found. I couldn't even run Disk First Aid to repair permissions.
He had a Tiger CD, so I popped it in, booted up, and tried to repair permissions. It said that no problems were found.
I don't want to upgrade to Tiger if I don't have to, because the Tiger installer said that it had to reformat the drive first. Yuck. Back it all up, reformat, install OS, reinstall all the apps. Did I mention I was just looking at this as a favor for a friend?
Is there a quick fix for this, or is reformat/reinstall my only option?

Cube G4, 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I don't know that it would keep you from booting, but the system requirements for panther state a minimum of 128MB RAM:
Requirements for Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.3 works with these Macintosh computers:
* Power Mac G5 (all models)
* Power Mac G4 or Macintosh Server G4 (all models)
* Power Macintosh G3 or Macintosh Server G3 that have built-in USB ports
* iMac (all models)
* iBook (all models)
* PowerBook G4 (all models)
* PowerBook G3 (Bronze Keyboard models only)
Additionally, the computer should have:
* 128 MB RAM (memory)
* At least 1.5 GB free hard disk space
Note: For Mac OS X 10.2 or later, 3.0 GB is the recommended minimum. The exact amount required depends on your computer and how you install Mac OS X (default versus custom installation, for example).
* Mac OS 9.1 or later for Classic applications

Finder crashes when scrolling through applications folder

Hi, folks! I recently updated to 10.4.5 and ran the latest security update. Now, when I open my applications folder using the 'list view' format and attempt to scroll down below the Microsoft Office folder, the Finder crashes. If I open my Applications folder and use 'icon view' I cannot scroll at all. Any attempt to do so, immediately crashes the finder. If I first resize the view window to be larger than the default size, the Finder immediately crashes when I open the Applications folder.
Nothing else seems to be effected. The applications I can launch either from the limited 'list view' window or from the Dock, all seem to function properly. I simply cannot get to all my applications in the Application's folder. The Utilities folder is unaffected.
Any ideas or fixes? This is very annoying!
PowerBook G3 (Bronze Keypad) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hey, Rich!
Sorry to be so long getting back to you. I did not get a chance to try your recommendation before my system was totally corrupted and I had to reinstall my OS. The corruption occurred when I updated to 10.4.6. After running software update, the computer went into the "infinite spinning color wheel" mode. I had to initiated a hard reset and was never able to get the machine to boot. Hence, I had to reinstall the OS. I tried an archieve and install but, I think my removeable DVD drive imust be getting old as the install quit half way through the process. I finally used a firewire external DVD drive and successfully reinstalled the OS but now am having to recreate all my network stuff and other preferences. Fortunately, all my data was left in tack and I was able to recover it.
Oh, bother! Anyway, thank you for the suggestion. I wish I had had the opportunity to try it! Now, because of all this, I am scared to death to run any of the updates!

G5 Kernel Trap panic at startup after chime - Help!

I have a Power Mac G5 2.0MHz Dual Core. The only externals are Mac keyboard, Mac mouse. No third party drivers installed since the HD is blank.
I can't even start up past the chime. After the chime, the screen gives me
unresolved kernel trap(cpu 0): 0x300
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
     com.apple.driver.AppleMacRISC4PE(1.6.0d9)@0x322c3000
          dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(1.6)@0x322a5000
          dependency: com.apple.driver.IOPlatformFunction(1.7.0b1)@0x322b3000
I received this G5 a year ago. It was a working system, but the HD was pulled before I got it. I tried startup with Shift down. I tried startup with C-key down with bootable 10.4 CD.
I have put in a new Mac formated HD (no system installed yet) and reseated the RAM, but no luck. I cleaned the computer slots and reseated the monitor card. I installed new RAM, zapping PRAM, cuda button, still no luck. I also tried putting RAM in 2nd slots in case the 1st slots were bad.
Upon startup holding Shift key I get this on screen:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002DE020): Unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac11,2"
Does this mean a processor or logic board is bad? What are my options? If it is chiming at startup, would the hair dryer trick even be worth trying?
Help!

I don't have the disc here. Do you suppose 10.4.0 will not run on it if 10.4.2 will?
Absolutely, & 10.4.2 is a gray Machine specific Disc, Retail 10.4 Discs were 10.4.0, 10.4.3, & 10.4.6 as I recall.
10.5 Retail Disc should work also for any G5.

Appleshare crash problem

Running Mac OS9.22 on a Powerbook G3 bronze keyboard.
When starting up, Finder freezes just after fully loading. Can sometimes fix by using Macsbug to exit Finder, which then restarts and works OK.
If I reboot with Appleshare disabled, the problem disappears.
Tried installing fresh copy of Appleshare, but problem the same.
Deleted various prefs files. Problem the same.
Any ideas?
Please?
Peter

Hi, Peter -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Do you need to access volumes on a remote server? If not, leave AppleShare disabled..
Otherwise, boot with Extensions Off (holding down Shift during booting). Then look in the Servers folder in System Folder. Throw away the aliases to any volumes or servers you do not use or which are not available. Then restart to test.
