Putting intel motherboard into a G5 20" imac

can an intel motherboard etc. be put into a G5 20" imac

You could run some type of screen sharing software on the two macs.  You would have to set up the mini for screen sharing.

  • Put intel chip into PPC mini?

    Is it possible to put a Intel chip into my PPC mini? I got my Mac mini in late Jan, and really want to get the new Intel Mac...

    Nope not at all, your dealing with apples and oranges - sorry couldn't resist the pun
    Seriously the cpu is one small piece of a computer. You have the chipset, and controllers that direct the communication between the components and subsystem. There's the firmware, the software to interact with the hardware.
    Then there's the physical placement of the cpu, is it soldered onto the motherboard, if not are the pin assignments the same between the ppc and intel cpu? I doubt it.
    As you can see there's many hurdles to jump. Your best bet is to by a core solo they're cheap enough (relativly speaking) or sell your current mini and get a core duo or an iMac

  • I just put a DVD into my IMac 27" and it makes noise like it's trying to read the DVD but then ejects it. Can anyone help me? I just ran out of Apple Care.

  • I exported my iBook and got the .ibooks file on my Desktop(iMac Retina 5K), I tried to put the file into the iBooks application but I get a message that says "The file "______.ibooks" couldn't opened because it isn't in the correct format.

    I exported my iBook and got the .ibooks file on my Desktop(iMac Retina 5K), I tried to put the file into the iBooks application but I get a message that says "The file "______.ibooks" couldn't opened because it isn't in the correct format.  I took the same file and transferred it in my MacBook Air and was able to put it in the  iBooks application no problem, the MacBook Air runs OS X v 10.9.5
    Please advise as to Why it would work on an older OS X version as oppose to the newer OS X Yosemite
    Thanks

    Thanks Lyra,
    I may be doing something wrong because looking at the "Purchased" in iBooks I only see all the books that I actually purchased, none of the iBooks that I created in iBooks Author shows up. I can re-download all the iBooks I've purchased and some in iCouds, but the ones I've created  in iBooks Author are no where to be found.
    Any help is much appreciated,
    Best Regards,

  • Can I put the hard drive from my unrepairable iMac into another equivalent iMac?

    THE LOGIC BOARD IN MY OLDER IMAC IS KAPUT.   CAN I SIMPLY PUT THE HARD DRIVE FROM MY FAILED IMAC INTO A WORKING EQUIVALENT IMAC?   ( I SEE PEOPLE SELLING THE SAME IMAC ON CRAIG'S LIST FOR $150.)

    Hi.
    Yes, you can install the drive from the old iMac into another same-model iMac and it should have no problem booting.
    Optionally, I would suggest you search online for a FireWire external drive enclosure. Take the drive out of your old iMac and install it into the FireWire drive enclosure. Now you can use your old drive as an external, bootable hd on your replacement iMac, or on any other Mac that you might purchase in the future.
    Of course, you could swap the drive from your failed iMac into the one you buy on Craig's List... then put the drive you take from that into the external drive enclosure.
    I suggest a FireWire enclosure because the older iMacs, the PPC models, can boot from an external FireWire drive, but I believe not from a USB drive.

    New to the iMac and apple

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you aren't going to use your Mac for anything special (Final Cut, Aperture, Photoshop, games...), you don't need that graphic card and you will save money.
    Also, as it looks like you are going to buy the 27-inch iMac, I recommend you to buy the Mac with 8 GB of memory, and then, buy the memory that your iMac needs in OWC or Crucial (the iMac supports 32 GB of RAM) > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L
    Doing this, you will save a lot of money. Also, it won't void the warranty of the Mac. If you need help installing the RAM, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5540

  • MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Motherboard z77 please help me

    So i just got my MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Motherboard z77  slotted it all together all seemed fine untill it wouldn't recognize my hard drive. I currently dont have a dvd drive at the moment so i put all the files of the win7 and msi drivers on the same 8gb stick. When i search for storage intel and see compatible drivers it sees one in RAID which i install but nothing else seems to happen. Ive been in bios and switched it from ahci raid and ide, that ahci etc one and Raid appear to be the same out come ie no harddrive visable. IDE doesnt even load it gets to starting windows logo then black screen and yes a i checked the harddrive is on the bottom sata1. Is my motherboard just defective or is there anything else to try. Sorry i have no other computer to use other than my laptop hopefully get a dvd drive soon (in the post) and hopefully a ssd to see if its the harddrive but i dont think that will make much difference. Cheers for any advise

    So now everything seems to be working fine, but when you are in windows, if you leave the computer at idle it crashes?
    For now, go into uefi bios and hit f6 for optimized defaults.
    Hit f10 save and exit.
    Once you have entered the os, open cpuz and post screen shots of the spd tabs of each memory stick installed and the memory tab. (You can open multiple instances of cpuz and take 1 screen shot.)
    *When you do this the bios will default to achi mode remember.

  • MSI 915GM-FR Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 915G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

    Yes, because of recent turbulence   considering some of the ram I recently bought, I am looking for different Ram that is compatible with this board:      MSI 915GM-FR Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 915G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
    I know that some places it says that the voltage is 2.5, but could I push it a bit with 2.6  ?  because I really dont want to buy a no-name brand for what I want.  However, if not, thats the way it is...

    Most boards have the DDR voltage set to 2.6V I believed. So if you put in a 2.5V rated DDR, it will still work. Undervoltage may not. You can always refer to MSI Test Report on DDR http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_trp_detail.php?UID=606

  • Put videos back into Photos app??!!!!

    Here's the thing... I take random videos now and again when I'm out with friends etc just silly stuff really, but I love looking back at these videos months later. I'm finding with my iPhone that I delete most of my videos say from a weekend away leaving 1 or 2 on there, but even this takes up quite a bit of space over time and I have to delete some more later on to have room to shoot new ones. 
    I want to be able to put videos back into the photos section of my iPhone 4 in native format (no conversion) and I'm pretty sure they can only be put in the videos section of itunes and synced to videos section of iPod on iPhone (I tried adding to an iphoto album but it didn't transfer to photos section) 
    Does anyone know if dropping videos into itunes in HD as they are will allow them to sync back to iPhone without conversion? 
    Does anyone know of a way of adding HD videos shot on iPhone back to iPhone without having to double them up by putting them through iTunes?
    I have all my videos stored in a folder on my imac so I can move them around easily, play on my different computers etc but having to add a few to itunes just to watch them on my phone again seems like such a pain. 
    Ideas welcome
    Cheers

    In the photos section of the iPhone sync page, there is an option to sync videos as well I believe?
    Have you tried that?
    (I don't have iTunes with me at work so can't remember for sure)

  • Can't put the computer into sleep if VPN is connected

    I think I have found a win7 bug. The problem is that I can't put my computer into sleep if VPN is connected. The VPN client I used is Microsoft VPN client. The VPN works fine.  But if I click sleep button with VPN connected, the computer screen turns
    black, the fan speeds up, and the signal light tells me the computer is  still on, not in sleep mode. When I try to wake up my computer by tapping the enter key, space, or moving the mouse, it just doesn't work at all: the fan speeds faster and faster
    and the computer heats up. The only thing I can do now to save my computer from darkness is to hit and hold the power button, powering off the computer. The sleep function works just fine if the VPN is disconnected. I can easily wake my computer up by tapping
    the enter key. I don't know whether this problem is only present on my computer or universally present on all win7 computers.
    The following is my system info:
    OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
    Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
    OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation
    System Manufacturer LENOVO
    System Model IdeaPad Y460
    System Type X86-based PC
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU       M 460  @ 2.53GHz, 2534 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

    Hi,
    Please collect the report for the further troubleshooting. Note:Please do the following steps when VPN is connected.
    1. Click Start, type in “cmd”, right click it and choose “Run as administrator”.
    2. Type in the following command.
    Powercfg –energy
    3. Find the report file in the location showed in Command window.
    4.
    Upload it.
