PowerMac G5 HELP!

I just scored a powermac G5 quad 2.5 from work. I don't thing the CPU has been leaked onto, because im getting no light errors or anything abnormal and it is making the startup sound. I do not have a way of connecting it to a monitor right now, as amazon sent me the wrong adapter (I ordered the right one too!) so I'm SOL for now. But, I would like to know how I can boot the machine up without a hard drive with MAC osX installed. I do not have a keyboard to open the CD drive..So, what do you suggest I do?

First off, nice score. Those quad G5's are sweet machines.
As to the rest, well, there's really NO way you can do anything with the machine until its got a display attached to it. The machine will actually start up, but if you have no OS it's just going to blink a question mark at you on the grey startup screen.
To open the optical drive at startup, press and hold the spacebar on your keyboard. Barring that, there's always the slide the front door down and take a paper clip and find the pokey-hole on the front of the drive and pop it open that way.
If you have Leopard or Tiger on bootable external drive, connect it via USB or FireWire and hold the Option key at startup.
It SHOULD then take you to the programmers window and you can see the external drives with your OS on it. Choose that and the system should boot normally off of the drive.
The last available Operating System you can put on that is 10.5.8 Leopard, the newer OSes are all for the Intel-based machines.

Can't install OS 8 on powermac G3 - help

Hi
I'm trying to install OS 8 on a powermac G3.
I have just got a "powermac G3 OS 8 CD" from a guy on Ebay but there are a couple of nasty scratches on the disc. I have tried to install OS 8 by doing the following but nothing has happened:
1. Inserted CD and started computer -> get a flashing face and ?
2. Inserted CD, held down the C key(as it says on the disc) and started computer -> get a flashing face and ?
3. Inserted the CD after the system starts and is already displaying the flashing face and ?
A PC would have let me know what the problem is but the mac just smiles at me...help?
How can I tell if it's the disk? I did a copy on my pc which seemed to work but it behaved the same. I also ran the disc through nero cd/dvd speed 'scandisc'. It did not find any bad sectors but looking at the disc I find it hard to believe that it is readable.
Does the G3 support 7.5.3? If so where can I download a CD image?
Thanks

If you have, literally, a beige computer marked Power Macintosh G3, whether a desktop, minitower or all-in-one, it supports no lower an OS than 8.0. This was the last OS with obligatory HFS (Standard) hard drive formatting. If the HDD of your machine had been formatted with OS 8.1 and above, which can use HFS+ (Extended) formatting, even if you were able to start up from the CD you might not have been able to see the files on the HDD. "Wherehave_all_my_filesgone?" is the message.
On the other hand, if your Mac is a blue and white tower, the least OS that it will support is 8.5.1. Be assured that Phil advised you correctly.
The display of Quizzical Floppy in place of Happy Mac illustrates only failure of the system (Startup Manager) to find a valid System Folder, and no more than that. The failure may result from:
a) absence (physically, or through failure) of the default startup device, here the HDD or the intended startup CD. Do you get any joy from a floppy drive and DiskTools diskette (if you have a beige G3)?
b) loss of pointers (which are preserved by the backup battery) from PRAM to a default startup device, or
c) corrupt boot blocks on the startup device (which is what Happy Mac shows to have been found), or
d) a corrupt or missing System Folder (which is what the boot blocks point to), or a System Folder that is temporarily unblest.
These can usually be solved, with the essential prerequisites of appropriate diskettes, or external bootable drive, and install/startup CD. What your prerequisites are or can be depends on your Mac model.

Cannot log in after Leopard upgrade on G4 powermac, please help

Hi all,
After reading numerous threads, still I cannot find an answer!
I installed Leopard on my Powermac g4 1.25 DP but I am not able to log in. I can only select the user "other". I have tried resetting the root password and tried to login with username "root" and password "what i previously selected" , but it did not work. All it does all the time is "wiggle" and return to the login screen.
- Is it helpful to do a reinstall of Leopard using Archive and Install?? I read this solution works for iMacs.... Does it work for a Powermacs too??
- Is it helpful to also change the "user" password (and not only the System administrator (root) password)???
- Is it helpful to revert to Tiger and change my password there, before installing Leopard??
- When I reset a password in the utility menu on the install disk, I type and retype the password. Should I then click "reset" or "safe"???
I hope anyone here can solve my problem or at least answer a few of my questions. Thanks in advance!!
Thomas

That sounds like you're starting up in Safe Mode every time. Try this:
Hold down the power button continuously till the machine powers down (should take between 5 and 10 seconds).
With the machine powered off, press the power button once briefly and let go, then immediately hold down both 'Command' and 'R' on the keyboard. Keep them held down until you see the grey cloth background, then you can let go.
You should end up in the Recovery Disk. In which case, as I mentioned in my previous post, choose 'Disk Utility' and repair disk.

Power outage knocked out my powermac, please help

We had a 10 minute power outage at work the other day. It did something to our G4 powermac tower unit. It was not on any battery backup, just a surge protection strip.
Since the poweroutage, I can't turn the computer on. The screen is blank and the tower is off. When I press the monitor button, it lights up, but doesn't do anything. Otherwise the monitor light is off. Same with the main button on the tower, it lights up but doesn't do anything, and it is also not lit when not being pressed. The mouse will not light up either. Any suggestions on how to restart it?
Thanks.

Try resetting the power management unit (PMU). It's a small button on the logic board. These instructions may not be exactly for your model, but they will give you the general idea of what you need to do.

Powermac G4 Help

Hello! My mom wants to give me her old Power mac G4 (Quicksilver) desktop if I buy a monitor for it. I'm hoping to buy the matching monitor that pairs up with the system. The reason I want to buy the original monitor is to be safe and sure it works, and the other reason is because I see people selling it cheap from $60 to $120. Where can I buy the matching monitor? I was also wondering if there's a specific microphone that can go with it. I checked all sides of the system, there's no microphone plug thing. Is there maybe a USB microphone, or are some headphone sets with microphones compatible, or what? Where do I get THAT? I'm a gamer, I know I should be using something like a windows system, but I also like to make digital art, animation, etc. I have more abilities using this desktop. These next questions are about the software: What is the highest Mac update it can go to? Is it only Tiger OS X? Is it possible to put OS X Mavericks or the upcoming Yosemite on it, or is it outdated? Since I'm a gamer, I have no idea if it can even use java. If it does run java, can it go up to 64-bit java? I know I have the keyboard, mouse and speakers, but can the modern accessories work, too? Thank you if you have an answer!

Hello,
10.5.8 is the highest OSX it'll run, no 64 bit anything available/doable.

Can you help me identify which PowerMac G5 I have?

I think it's one of the later models -- if webpages are to be believed -- but I need to be sure before I start getting hardware for it.
Here's the specs from the Hardware Overview in System Profiler:
Machine Model: PowerMac7,3
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2)
Number of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM version: 5.1.8f7
Serial Number: G84251FKQPR
Feel free to ask for more information if you need it.
I recently received this nice older Mac as a hand-me-down from my father, who bought it on eBay from a university film studio that was upgrading their hardware.
It lacks wireless networking capabilities at the moment, and I'd like to fix that. I need to make sure I get the right kind of AirPort card (or whatever I need) in order to acheive this. I'm not familiar with the PowerMac G5 model, so I could use some advice. Information on the web is a little confusing to me.
I'd also like to know what maximum possible RAM (and what kind) this lovely silver beast can take on.
And I understand that Leopard (not to be confused with Snow Leopard) is the most recent version of the Mac OS X I can install on here. I need to make sure I get the "retail" version, right?
And I'd like to hear what other bells and whistles I can get for it that I'm not already aware of. I want to make a project out of this.
Thanks for your help, my fellow Apple fans!

Correct, no Gray Intel Machine specific Discs.

    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

Help! how to apply Seagate hard-drive update from DVD drive on G4 Powermac

Short version of story:
Just put Sonnet PCI SATA card in G4 Digital Audio Powermac running Tiger. Have replaced two IDE drives with *Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1 TB hard drive*. It's recognized and working fine. EXCEPT: this is the now infamous drive ST31000340AS that WILL most certainly fail if it does not get the firmware update that Seagate has made available. (These drives are failing like crazy-- Google for info, do not buy!) I have the firmware update on CD as an ISO file (of course Seagate makes nothing that it Mac friendly but this has worked for other Mac users). But when I try to flash the firmware by starting from the CD ("C" key held down), nothing happens. The G4 just goes ahead and starts Tiger 10.4.11. I have also tried holding down "O + F + option + control on start up. I'm not getting anywhere.
Since the drive is functional and it's the only drive in the G4, what am I doing wrong? Help!

I just got off the phone with Seagate who say that while my model numbers are the affected drives, my two drives have serial numbers that do NOT need a firmware update. (Yet!)
However, I'm not feeling very lucky. I took these two drives from my Maxtor One Touch III 2 TB external hard-drive because it was failing intermittently-- "now you see me, now you don't." Not very good for a backup drive! But Maxtor/Seagate is providing nothing for Maxtor One Touch III owners under warranty but another refurbished (as in previously failed) Maxtor One Touch III and asking hundreds of dollar$ for data recovery. There is not even a firmware update at this point. People should be avoiding Seagate Barracuda drives (these used to be the best of the best, but not now) or at least researching them *very thoroughly* before buying.
I guess, the good news is that I don't have to struggle with getting a firmware update to work on my PowerMac. Though thanks to you both I will know what to do if these drives eventually do need a firmware update. The other good news is that I got all my data back by pulling the drives from their enclosure which apparently causes overheating. I violated my warranty, pulled the drives, and got all my data back.
At the moment both of my Barracuda drives are happily purring away in my PowerMac G4 giving that old baby 2 Tb to play with. (I use iPartition so getting the drives recognized on the G4 isn't a problem.) And since I have my new iMac 3.06ghz 24" with all my data backup on WD external drives, I will only use the G4 networked for extra storage (backup for my backup). (I am also using Disk Warrior and Data Rescue II to keep an eye on these drives.)
Thanks again for the advice.

HELP For Replacement CPU PowerMac (970 V.2.2) What is the correct model?

Hallo!
I have a question for you!
I have a PowerMac G5 (2003) with cpu PPC G5 970 (v.2.2) 2GHz as seen in System Profiler;
My Mac is a Dual processor, but one CPU is brocken and today it runs with only one CPU.
Now I want to buy the second CPU in ebay, to replace the second CPU broken, but I can't find nothing of clear in apple part number, in fact I Have a CPU 630-4890.
Reading service manual I think that I must search a 661-2901, but i don't know if this is correct!
There is someone that can help me in this choice?
Thank a lot!
Paolo

Look at the model number like the other member said to do . But it you change out the cpu yuo need to re calibrate the fans on it . You need the dvd that will re calibrate the fans for the new processor . The apple service diagnostic disk or better know as the thermal calibration of the fans . Thats a must or I think you will burn up the new processor .
get a service manual plus the disk I told you about . Goto ebay for that .

PowerMac G3 Blue & White Hard Drive Trouble/Help Requested

Hey all,
I work for a small IT/computer repair company. We recently got in a PowerMac G3 Blue & White (300 MHz; 512K cache; 64 MB SDRAM) which has what appears to be a bad hard drive.
(Upon boot, it comes up with a flashing disk/question mark and you can hear the drive making noises it shouldn't be/spinning up and down/etc.). I've tried booting with the OS CD (8.5.1) in the drive and get a bit further, but it complains of an unimplemented trap, and if I try holding down C to boot up, it starts to load, but then the screen flashes and it eventually locks up (but without the hard drive connected at all doesn't even get that far; just a gray screen).
I've done some research and think my first step should be to replace the hard drive (though if that's not the case, I'd appreciate some insight). I haven't fixed many Macs before, though, so I still have several questions:
1.) The drive that came with the machine is a 6 GB IBM connected to the mainboard IDE interface. It lists it as having Apple HDD Firmware. Is this firmware required on any drive I'd have to get to work with this machine, or can I go with any IDE drive and not worry about it like with PC's (I'm going to stay as small as I can, but with newer drives, that's probably still a lot of gigs)?
2.) Similarly, when I do get a new drive, assuming that's the problem, will OS 8.5.1 be able to format and use it, as I've never done an install of this particular OS before. I'm assuming I just boot from CD and go through the process?
3.) Unfortunately, I've discovered this unit is using the Revision 1 chipset. So I may need to go for some sort of PCI IDE interface option. Any recommendations for a cheap solution here, and is this a definite must to get this working reliably?
4.) The owner of this machine also inquired about a DVD/CD burner (would have to be external as there's no room inside). Any recommendations that would work well with this machine, or is this machine not suited to using these types of drives well?
5.) Can this Apple G3 run Mac OSX well enough, as the client has also expressed interest in upgrading OSes, or is it too slow for this?
Thanks much for any help - this is fairly new territory for me!
Shaun

Shaun,
After the iMac killed the used Mac market and the G4 killed the value of the B&W G3, I closed up shop and moved on to better ways of making money. lol
One client wanted a newer mac cheap so I bought her a used B&W G3. One month later they came out with the Mac Mini for $125.00 more than a fully configured B&W. With in the year, that client moved up to a Mini. The B&W has plummeted in value since that day. Current market is G4 or better now.
For a hobby machine, it is still a great computer. To pay for service time at shop rate, that model can quickly become a money pit. You may have already checked out some sites like this:
http://www.macgurus.com/products/motherboards/mbppcg3bw.php
so I apologize in advance if you already know the history of issues with that machine.
Yes we can walk you through the resurrection of a Blue and ***** ( honest typo) Mac, but religious preferences aside, if you value the client, tell them about the value of a mini. It was built to run OS X. It has behaved flawlessly ( except with MS Office ) for us here.
The model of B&W Mac that you mentioned has many service land mines. Those traps for the unwary can be easily avoided with SCSI interface cards and a SCSI drive. Your fees and the cost of the upgrades might add up to close to the cost of a bare bones Mini. Just something to consider.
First thing to do is to "zap the PRAM" and Texas mac man gives a good tutorial here:
http://www.geocities.com/texas_macman/pram.html
The Apple OEM HDD firmware is not required but it does make life much easier on your client.
If you have a spare Western Digital IDE drive kicking around, see if you can format it to Mac with Drive Setup in the Utilities folder of any drive you can get to boot that Mac after zapping the PRAM.
The Mini can be ordered with a DVD burner.
Good luck.
Jim

Looking for help, strange powermac issues

I have a apple powermac g5.
When I power the unit on, there is no chime and the fans turn on like full blast. The unit does boot into MAC OS but freezes at the logon aas soon as you move the mouse. The motherboard is brand new and was replaced by a mac tech when we had one here at our shop. When I try and boot to a CD by holding C I get this display.
Apple Powermac 7, 2 5. 1.5f0 BootROM Built on 02/16/04 at 13:01:10
Welcome to open firmware, the system time and date 21:21:07 01/02/1904
to continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return
to shut down, type "shut-down" and press return
release keys to continue.
The unit also doesnt always open/eject a disc it is actually really hard to get to open but even once I do get it to open it wont boot to a disc.
The other wierd thing is certain monitors I hook up to it while plugged in even if I power the unit off, the white light in the front stays on and if I unplugg it then the light goes out. As soon as I plug the monitor back it the computer turns on by itself. Not all the monitors I have here do this.
Any advice would be great, I am not currently certified but Im helping the one who is at our shop, we are a apple certified service center at a compusa, and we have a gsx login. Just trying to see if anyone might know what issue could be causing all this.

you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button.Then it has it in chineese or something.
You are having a kernel panic on startup:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107061
The fans will blast during a panic, or other operational error so as to protect the CPU's from overheating. As well, a CPU caught in a kernel trap will be running full power, which prompts the appropriate cooling response.
Since the motherboard was replaced, unless the machine has been thermal calibrated, the machine will blast the fans. Has thermal calibration been performed?
Will the machine do a safe mode boot (hold shift key on startup)?

HELP !!! Powermac is NOT starting

Hi Powermac users, awoke this morning to find that my powermac G5 first gen. Dual 2Ghz is not booting power button light lights up then off do hear relay clicks from the powersupply when the power button it pressed and also when the powercord is installed and removed. After a few click of the power button I now smell something burning ie electronic smell. Removed all but one memory stick reset PMU or SMT near memory bank. Changed PRAM battery to new. No help thinking powersupply and or logicboard/processor failure.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Jim

Hi Jim,
Could be bad RAM, bad power supply or a bad power switch or connection. I would start by removing all RAM, leaving only the Apple supplied RAM and reboot to see what happens. Also, there is cable of wires leading from the logic board to the power switch, located on the lower left. Check these connections.
My guess is a failed RAM chip.
Best Regards

Recommendations for writable CDs on the Powermac G5? Please help.

Dear All,
I'm using a powermac g5 with 1.8gHz (powerpc 3.0) and Mac OSX 10.4. The drive is DVD RW DW-U21A.
Does anyone have any recommendations for brands of writable CDs that they have used in this machine? I've tried a couple and they got spat out, but they should have worked. Before I buy and return any more packs, I thought you guys might be able to help ...
thanks,
Richard O'Sullivan

Hi-
For CD's, don't use over 74 min CD-R's. 80 min (and higher) can be VERY problematic.
Don't try to use any DVD-R over 8x- 16x often won't work. Use 8x, and burn slower:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25402
Use quality brands like Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, Pioneer, Ridisc, Dysan- check the following site for user ratings on any type of disc, and ratings by speed and maker:
http://www.cdfreaks.com/media/
There is all kind of variation in disks, and once you find a good one, stock up:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
Also, the CD lens is separate from the DVD lens- still could be hardware. Try cleaning?

Somebody Help!!!! I woke up this morning and my PowerMAc G4 appears......

to be dead....let me elaborate.
I was on the compujter last night, went to bed (leaving the computer on, as i often do)
and got up this morning and it was powered off. My first thought was there had been a power outage, but there were no other signs of this around the house. So i try to power it up..
i press the button on the tower and as i depress, it lights up, but as soon as i release it goes off...the light won't stay on, and there is no sign of start up...no fans, no hardrive hmm., nothin. I tried pulling the power cord from behine, just for the heck of it, replugged it in, and tried again and again and again, and nothing...
Could this be a power supply issue? Or a mother board issue? Can someone pls help...i have a mac authorized repair place near by, but i'd like to minimize expenses just on trouble shooting u know?
so any ideas from you experienced mac folk out there????
anything will be eternally appreciated...
desperate..

The first G4 models were basically a repackaged/upgraded G3 & came in 350 & 400MHz models. This design was called PCI version. The next G4 models were AGPs. This link http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/index-powermac-g4.html has the specs/pictures of all the G4 models.

We have a powermac PC G5, softwareversion 10.5.8. We need a dongel for internet. Who can help us?

You will have to do the checking for what is available in The Netherlands, or else be very, very patient for somebody else in your area to come by who can tell you which store to go to. I suggest looking for models similar to the one I indicated in the link. Do make sure they are specified as being Mac compatible. Mac drivers are usually built into a device so don't buy one one for a PC in the hope that you can find a Mac driver online. Only in a few cases are Mac drivers featured as separate files.
