QuickTake 150 and Power mac G3 (beige mini tower)

hello there I have an apple QuickTake 150 but I don't have the software on the floppies. How ever I was able to download them. This is when I hit trouble. when I start to install the software it will select the proper stuff then it stops and says "there is a newer foriegn acces file is present. do you want to keep the newer one or install an older one" so I click newer. then it says "the plugin QuickTime power plug can't be replaced. the installation will stop" then it will ask me to insert floppy disk 2. but I don't have the disk. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?!?!

"the plugin QuickTime power plug can't be replaced.
You have solved the problem of newer Vs older "Foreign File Access" ( a sub-extension of the Apple CD driver used to read ISO, High Sierra, PhotoCD, and other foreign file formats).
You have moved on -- to a clash in versions of QuickTime Extensions. The version of the "QuickTime Power Plug" extension is different from the one the Installer wants to Install. In addition, It is possible the extesnion on your Hard Drive is locked. To handle the error and Quit, it want to go back to diskette 2. If you can resolve the error, it is possible it will shut up about diskette 2.

Where can I get rid of an old Power Mac G3 Beige?

Where is the best place to get rid of an old Power Mac G3 Beige? Are there sites out there where Mac enthusiasts would buy it or its part? It has no hard drive. Also have the Multiple Scan 720 Display Monitor.

Glen.. I'm looking for some 256 sticks of RAM - PC-66 or 100 will do.. and if you want to move that CPU card - is it a Sonnet ZIF?
I have a Yosemite blue and white G3 that's living here while it's owner gets his living situation sorted out.. it was in rough shape as it sat in a few inches of water and is a bit corroded but not so much it's dead.
I'm cobbling it into a bit more stable, modern state for him so his 11 year old daughter can use it with her iPod. So far I have an 80GB hard drive and a Lite-on CD burner installed. I don't have much in the way of $$ right now, but can pay postage, if you want to part bits out. I can mail you a G3/266 processor to swap it out if you still want to have a working machine to part with.
I was going to use the bits from my beige for the Yosemite, but the Quicksilver that landed on my door turned out to be a boat anchor, so I bit the bullet and swapped out a power supply and got the G3 working again as a music server.
Am still on the hunt for freebie, useable parts..

Hi Aaron, should work if it meets these requirements...
System requirements
Supported Computers:[2]PowerMac G3, G4, early PowerMac G5, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 orG4, or iBook computer
Amount of RAM Required: 128 megabytes (MB) (Although 256 MB to 512 MB is highly recommended by many people who have used Mac OS X v10.2.8 as the real amount of RAM used when only the Operating System is running is around 200 MB, but it can be run with as low as 96 MB) although it will not run at full speed.
Processor Type: PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 running at 233 MHz or higher.

Incompatibilities between Gigabit Ethernet PCI cards and Power Mac G5?

Hi,
we recently bought a Digicom PCI LAN GIGA32 Ethernet card to upgrade our Power Mac G5 1.8GHz server. The OS on the G5 is Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 (8L127).
The issue is simple: the PCI card is recognized by the system (it appears in System Profiler and as a new port in System Preference's Network pane) but Mac OS X cannot properly use it. We tried to connect the card to a Gigabit switch but nothing happened: no led denoting the connection speed turned on on the switch and the Network Status view in the System Preference's Network pane still show the red light with the "No cable connected" message.
We noticed this message in system.log:
jedi kernel[0]: AppleRTL8169Ethernet: phyWaitForAutoNegotiation TIMEOUT
So we tried to manually set the Ethernet speed for the card and indeed it reacted, but we managed to have it working only at 10 Mbps (10baseTX).
It seems that AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext [1] is used by Mac OS X to control Ethernet cards featuring the Realtek 8169 chipset but it cannot properly communicate with Digicom's card.
The weird thing is that we tried the same card on a Power Mac G4 and it worked flawlessy. Maybe the issue depens on the PCI-X slots available on the Power Mac G5?
Are there any other report of incompatibilites between Ethernet PCI cards with Realtek chipsets and Power Mac G5?
BTW, we noted that the card's vendor doesn't certify the card for Macintosh systems but we didn't manage to find a PCI Gigabit Ethernet card certified to work with Mac OS X and Power Mac G5 hardware. Could you point me to some PCI Gigabit Ethernet cards proven to work with a Power Mac G5 machine?
[1] file://localhost/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plug Ins/AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext/

Is there something wrong with the built-in interface
or do you want to trunk/bond interfaces or route
between interfaces?
Just experimenting…
The interface that Apple had in G4 Xserves (Broadcomm
chipset) 64 bit PCI would perhaps be a good buy if
you can find it (available as spare part?).
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/osx_networkcards.html
Thanks a lot for the link and the Broadcomm chipset hint.
Meanwhile, I found that the Realtek website features a driver download for Mac OS X 10.4 and Ethernet cards with the 8169S-32 chipset (the one featured by the Digicom card tested).
I think I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Sync bookmarks between power book and power mac

I'm looking for a way to sync my bookmarks between my power book and power mac. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,
There's .Mac if you want more options (not worth the $ if all you're doing is just syncing bookmarks though but good for backup, etc).
Additionally, you can do this manually if you prefer. Go to ~/LIbrary/Safari and copy the Bookmarks.plist between your Powerbook and Powermac (with the most recent updated bookmarks file being copied, of course).
Hope this helps,

Power Mac G3-Beige: Continue to beep during start up

Why do my system beeps uncontrollably during start up? While booting it get stuck after desktop appears. I notice "add this to start up item" appear on window bar. This goes on for aprox. 10.minutes. HELP!

Welcome to the forum.
Was your Beige Mac booting up OK previously? When
did this beeping and freezing start? Did you add,
delete, or change anything, hardware or software
around the time that the problem started?
With the information you supplied so far, just a shot
in the dark but, it seems like some required startup
extension has been deleted or made inactive.
Give us more information and we may be able to help
you more.

If I can rember correctly, i beleive it started after completing a disk first aid on the system. I think I rember seeing a file named ___sprocket**###!!? I wish I could be of more discriptive.

How do I Connect both an iBook and Power Mac G5 to Windows XP Pro network?

I have an existing Windows network at home, with a Motorola Surfborad Cable Modem, Linksys Wired Cable/DSL VPN Router with 5-port 10/100 switch (BEFVP41), Linksys Wireless G Access Point (WAP54G), Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Workgroup Switches (EZXS55W v3) and several connected devices including: two Windows Desktops (wired), a Humax TiVo (wireless), Two (2) SlimDevice Squeezeboxes (wireless), and a Microsoft X-Box game system.
For some reason, I cannot successfully connect either a Power Mac G5 (wired) or an iBook (wireless) to the newtork and internet. In both cases, if I attempt to connect them, the router does appear to see them, but I can't get connection to the Internet.
Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
I have disconnected all the other connected devices and tried to connect them with no results.
Re-starting the cable modem, router or WAP didn't help.
If I connect one of the Windows PC's to the same cable I have tried unsuccessfully with the Power Mac, The Windows PC connects to both the Network and Internet immediately!
Additionally, I have checked out the entire wiring system, which are Cat5E cables. This included re-checking all connectors and testing each wire run. All cables are "straight through" with no opens, shorts or cross0overs.
I am sure that I am doing something wrong and that there is an "easy fix", but it's beyond my meager knowledge.
If someone can supply me with "Step by Step", detailed instructions on how to accomplish this, please help me.
Sincerely,
Gordy in Reading, MA - USA

Hi Gordy,
Well, that's certainly some setup you've got there.
Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
I'm not sure about those URL's. Plug your PowerMac into the router , then launch Safari and type 192.168.1.100 in the address bar it should allow you to access the routers settings via the web-based utility. Please check and see if that much that works and post back.

IBook and Power Mac G3

Not sure where to post this topic-
I am interested in creating and editting video with my iBook (G4, 768MB RAM, 30GB Hard Drive, 12inch). I have been offered a Power Mac G3 running OS 9.2.
OK- could I use that Power Mac as an alternate Hard Drive (to store projects)?
A sort of "external" hard drive, that is. The Power Mac G3 has a 13GB Hard Drive, with I understand is WAY below any external hard drive currently on the market.
It should be noted that I only video blog. That being said, my videos aren't an hour long; rather, no longer than 5-10 minutes at most.
Thanks

I've done a little reading, and it has to do with under the hood stuff with the Login ID number. I found how to change it on the iBook, but I can't figure it out on the iMac. Ideally, I want them to both be 501. So how do I sent the iMac in Mac OS 10.5.8?

Connecting ibook and Power Mac via Ethernet

Is it possible to connect my ibook g4, with my Power Mac G4 via ethernet? I simply want to make it so I can swap files between the two. They're both running Tiger, 10.4.11, if that means anything at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mac OS X file sharing ( hope you know another language than english ). You need to go into sharing & turn on file sharing. It will share your public folder.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461
The Mac OS client shares the the public folder. You may try putting an alias in your public folder to the flash drive. To share the flash drive directly, you need SharePoints.
The Mac OS X client version contains most of the sharing software. It doesn't contain an extensive GUI for manipulating the software configuration.
"SharePoints is an application or a preference pane that makes it easy to add and delete share points like in the old Finder. In Mac OS X, by default, you are limited to sharing only what is in your public folder in your home directory. This program makes it easy to share any folder."
http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/
Mac OS includes support for NFS, the native Unix network file sharing system. You may share files between Mac OS X systems with NFS as well as other Unix Systems. However, the documentation on how you make the shares is rather limited. Once you learn how to configure the net info database with the netinfo command, the shares are not too hard to make.
"NFS Manager is a graphical user interface to control all built-in NFS features of Mac OS X. "

Question on Intel and power Mac compatibility

I have a FW 800 running 10.5 and am thinking to buy a new Macbook. I have server Leopard OS, not installed, Could I use the FW800 as a server and the new Macbook as the master. In other words will a power Mac work as a server to an Intel mac?
Bob

Sure, is all I needed to hear. As long is there is no basic incompatibility. I don't know what a server can actually do. Storage of files, sure. I thought of reformatting some movie files in the background and maybe to take care of down load actives. I find my system getting bogged down with stuff I might be able to pawn off on the server.
Thanks Bob

How to import calendar from 10.5 and Power mac to Intel iMac

I have my old calendar on an external hard drive. It was created on a Power Mac. I now have a new iMac and to import the old events, I have to do it one event at the time. There must be a better way. I cannot open the old iCal on this machine so I cannot export any events. Help! and thanks.

Graphics Problems with Leopard, ATI X800 XT, and Power Mac G5

I just upgraded to Leopard. I'm using a Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 with an ATI X 800 XT graphics card installed, and a Dell 24" monitor running at 1900x1200 resolution. After about 5-15 minutes, the screen starts shimmering with these green lines everywhere. It keeps getting worse to the point where I can't see anything and have reboot. Then, it starts all over again after another 5-15 minutes. The only way to solve this problem is to turn down the resolution to 1360x768. My fan is also running at max speed constantly since I've upgraded. I was hoping that 10.5.1 update would fix it, but it hasn't.
I've spent the last hour reading posts on this forum related to my problem to see if there is a solution, and as far as I can tell there isn't one. Is there something I missed for fixing the display and fan problems? Is there any hope that 10.5.2 will fix this? I've never had problems like this with any of the other OSX upgrades. I'm basically forced to go back to Tiger for now until this problem is solved. I can't believe ATI hasn't updated their drivers for my card since 2005!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Masai,
It sounds like a problem I had when I first got a new ATI X800 XT last October. When I first installed the card, there were what looked like florescent green symbols all over the screen which would get worse if I moved a window around. I ended up returning the card to ATI and exchanging it for a new one.
If you could post a screen shot, I could confirm the similarities in our problems. My problem was caused, I think, by the card overheating . . . which was the result, I speculate, of a disconnect between the X800's memory chips and heat sink.
I got a second card, and it's been working perfectly with Leopard. In my case, the card itself was the problem and not Leopard and/or graphics drivers.
Hopefully that's not the case with your situation. Did the card work okay under Tiger or whatever your previous OS was?

Final Cut Pro and Power Mac g5

I recently just got a dual 2.0 ghz Power Mac G5. I'm looking to upgrade the videocard (came with a GeForce FX 5200, 64mb RAM) so I can make this into my media editor. I was checking out the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro with 256 mb oof DDR ram, does anyone have experience running FCP with this card? Will this be sufficient or should I place my money else where in the graphics card world?

In FCP, it accellerates the fx plug classed effects.
In Motion, it provides the processing for the effects you're adding with it.
In Color, it does the same.
Basically, other than running your displays it also is being used for some of the processing done with the suite. So the beefier the card, the better those portions of processing that the suite relies on actually work. Faster renders, more real time playback of unrendered effects... at least those effects that use the GPU on the display card to perform the processing.

Power Mac G3 (beige) Pulling large files w/out network

I have an old Mac G3 from which I need to pull images. They would be large .jpgs and .tiffs so using the floppy is unfeasible. At this point, IT won't let me network it (which would solve this, obviously). Short of locating an old zip drive (one 25 pin IDE connection available in back), are there any other alternatives? I've looked at removing and docking the hard drive, but that seems to be available only if I had a USB port on the system... I really need the HD to USB to external interface, but to still connect the HD to the Mac. Thanks. MG

"Our company is strickly PC and Linux, so I don't have a Mac available to interface with."
Unless you install a software program like "MacDrive" on one of the PCs so that a Mac-formatted drive is recognized, the adapter mentioned by Allan isn't going to be of much use to you. Additionally, that type of adapter isn't platform-specific, which means that you can purchase one at a PC store and it would work with PCs and Macs. I bought/use this one, which is about half the price of the one at Other World Computing. You referenced the G3's "25 pin IDE connection available in back." That's a DB-25 SCSI bus port, and although it resembles the parallel port found on the back of older PCs, it's a different/incompatible interface. A suitable Zip drive would be a SCSI type, not a parallel port type. If you had access to a SCSI Zip drive (100 MB or 250 MB), you could transfer the files to PC-formatted Zip disks and then use a Zip drive designed for connection to a USB port, to transfer files from the disks to a PC. Depending on the OS version that the beige G3 is running, you could install a USB PCI card and transfer the files to a flash drive. Realistically, the G3 should be running OS 9.1 and you'd need to perform a custom installation of the same OS, to install the necessary USB support files. It just gets more complicated, in terms of the hardware and software upgrades needed to accomplish this. I'd recommend removing the G3's hard drive and using the USB-to-IDE adapter, which will require a software program on the PC to enable reading the Mac-formatted drive.
