Powerbook G4 and Intel processor

NBCOlympics.com allows viewing Olympics video but only if you have Intel processor. I have a Powerbook G4 - is there anyway to change this to intel processor?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There is no technical reason why the Olympic committee couldn't have chosen a Mac OS X native video format that works on PowerPC Macs. But they obviously didn't. They are the one you should address your complaint to. Tell them that Macs have had video capable formats of streaming live TV since at least 1995. Intel Macs have only been around since 2006. They are excluding 11 years of Mac models at a bare minimum if not more. You know how I know 1995 was a year that could happen? Streaming videochat was available on a PowerMac 9500 using Cu2seeme based on Apple's own Quicktime codecs. No reason that couldn't have been used in the Olympics for those with older machines.

  • Remote Desktop and Intel processors

    Does Remote Desktop work well on Intel processors working as a VNC server? I do not see a Universal icon on the Remote Desktop website so this would run through Rosetta if I am correct.
    Dual 2.7 Ghz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I'm not exactly clear on what you're asking here so...
    The client software installed on the Intel based CPU's will allow you to log in and control/observe the Intel based client just fine. Simply turn it on and configure as you would a PPC based machine.
    If you want to use the Intel based CPU as an admin (to control/observe FROM), you will need to use the Rosetta hack described in other threads.

  • Just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and Intel Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and Quicktime plays m4v files with stuttering audio

    I just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and 3.33 Ghz  Intel Core Duo Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks.  I now have Quicktime 10.3 which plays m4v files with stuttering audio.  This is a nightmare as I use Quicktime a lot in my research.  I have seen similar threads but so far only reporting the problem.  For now I have installed Quicktime Player 10.7 (which appears in utilities, leaving Quicktime 10.3 in the main applications list) which plays the same videos with no problem, but it would be good to know if anyone has managed to find a workaround at all, or know if Apple have plans to do anything about it?

    Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
    Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.

  • Linux-PHC and Intel processor

    Hi!!
    I'd like to use PHC. I've installed everything. I've got VID for my processor. I've added 2 lines to my /etc/rc.local:
    echo "10:35 8:6 6:6" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_controls
    echo "10:35 8:6 6:6" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/phc_controls
    And the first line works, but the second not. I don't know why it happens.
    I really appreciate any help

    Gee, I hope I understand this right, you can get a Terabyte from Walmart for around $120.00.
    There is one major problem with the drives you get from just walking into a Walmart or Costco or Best Buy: They are usually one interface only, and that interface is USB. That's not a problem for new Macs with USB 3, where mass-market USB 3 drives are a great and cheap solution.
    But for regular transfers with older Macs, I have always found great benefit in using a drive with multiple interfaces that bridge old and new Macs and PCs. The USB version in the PowerBook, USB 2.0, has always been a slow solution. It's slower than FireWire 400, FireWire 800, and Gigabit Ethernet. For my regular backups on G3/G4 Macs and most MacBook Pros, FireWire or Gigabit Ethernet have always been the way to go because they just save so much time over USB 2.0. Maybe not for small incremental daily backups, but when moving large collections of music/videos/photos, or especially when migrating to newer equipment.
    That is why like the others here, I greatly prefer the OWC drives with multiple interfaces. The slow, awful USB ports work well for old FireWire-less Macs and for PCs, while FireWire 800 and eSATA get full-disk backups and mass transfers done in a fraction of the time as the poor soul waiting for USB 2.0 to finish. (Today's multi-TB disks can take hours to copy even with FireWire 800.)
    If the priority is to save money over saving time, a cheap USB drive is fine, and USB 3 will be much faster than FireWire when you get a new Mac. But I've long valued the ability of a multi-interface drive from OWC to plug into any Mac or PC put in front of me and be able to transfer data using whatever the fastest option is.
    I wouldn't worry about formatting drives from non-Mac stores since that takes about 10 seconds in Apple Disk Utility.

  • My iphone 4s will not sync on my mac; I'm running 10.4.11 and I do not have the intel processor; iphone does not show up as a device

    My iphone 4s will not snyc on my mac at home; I'm running 10.4.11 and do not have the intel processor; on my work computer  my iphone is recognized as a device in itunes, but my music library can only be located on my older mac at home.

    The iPhone REQUIRES OS X 10.5.8 or higher. This is clearly stated in the documentation and on the web site. There is no magic that will make it work with 10.4.x.

    Can I transfer docs/folders between a MacBook with a Intel processor and a iMAC with a PowerPC processor using a usb cord? Or by loading from the MacBook to a external drive and then to the Imac.

    You need to use an external drive, FireWire cable, Ethernet cable, or wireless connection.

  • I have an iMac5,1 with an intel processor.  For the last month or so, whenever I play a video from an outside source - e.g. YouTube, the picture jumps and breaks-up.  All of my software is up-to-date.  Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?

    You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

  • Share external hard drive between PowerBook (PPC) and MacBook (Intel)?

    Hello.
    I recently purchased an HP Portable USB 3.0/2.0 1TB external hard drive (http://j.mp/f9FP4M). I'm trying to figure out the best way to format it so that my girlfriend and I can both use it. Problem is, I have a PPC-based PowerBook G4, and she has an Intel-based MacBook. Hopeless?
    If not, here is the ideal scenario:
    --One partition that can boot Tiger (I still have the CD).
    --A second partition that can boot Snow Leopard (just got it for my girlfriend).
    --A third partition where my girlfriend can back up her MacBook using Time Machine.
    --A fourth partition where I can back up my PowerBook using whatever means possible/necessary.
    Can someone please suggest how I might do this? I would be very grateful for any assistance.
    If any part of my ideal scenario has to be sacrificed -- I would not be at all surprised -- then let's forget about my PowerBook and focus on how to format the drive for her MacBook. I presume I would just need to do GUID, but I'd still need guidance on how to create partitions to boot Snow Leopard (and Tiger, if that would still be possible).
    Happy to clarify any of the above if it's unclear or incomplete. Thanks for reading and for thinking this through with me!

    I just had the same problem, I've updated to 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then the browsing are very slow, no matter what broswer I am using, the upload download speed are still the same. But browsing just take forever, It takes for example google.com 30 seconds to load. I have Extream high speed internet connection, 3 other computers, and the only one is having this problem is the Mac after the update.
    Something in this update screwed my browsing capabitilties, I tried downloading Crome browser, same issue.
    I hope there is a way beside TimeMachine to revert the latest update. I don't want to reformat as I am sure as soon as I am going to do the update it will cause the same problem.

    If you are willing to spend money towards your problem, you are best off purchasing the most modern Intel based Mac that you can afford, albeit perhaps used or reconditioned, and run Windows and perhaps Mavericks there.
    Having been a longtime user of Virtual PC on my iMac G5, I would not wish that experience on my worst enemy now that Intel Macs are so prevalent!
