REBUILDING THE INSIDES OF A TANGERINE G3

The Apple shop that I use is now warning me that I can't keeo using my iBook much longer because it's "old"! But I love the tangerine clamshell "box" and am determined to keep it. Has anyone had the insides of theirs stripped out and "rebuilt" with more powerful processor etc.? I live in South Africa by the way.
iBook G3 tangerine   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

Hello,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can't upgrade the processor.
The only upgrades you can do are:
Hard Drive - (up to 120Gb),
RAM - (Up to 544Mb/576Mb),
Optical Drive - (Up to Combo),
Airport Card,
You pretty much have to take apart everything to replace the Hard Disk alone - and it'as not the most friendly Mac to work on - infact it's the worst I've ever cracked.
By the time you've bought all those components - you're most of the way towards a new, much faster and more capable Mac.

  • Can I use gpt to recreate/unerase a partition table? (Rebuild the GPT/GUID partition table?)  I don't want to do FILE recovery.

    (Yes, I've  googled a bunch and read threads like this one already.)
    Can I use gpt or some other app to recreate/unerase a partition table?  That is, how can I rebuild a disk's GPT/GUID partition table?)  I don't want to do FILE recovery.
    What happened: Instead of erasing a single partition off a disk with many partitions, the entire partition table was erased (using Disk Utility, w/o deleting the underlying files).  Somehow the "Erasing a disk deletes all data on all its partitions." warning message was missed.
    I have a copy of the output of df, with the number of blocks in each partition, from just prior to the erasure, so I should be able to recreate the GPT/GUID partition table.  Editing the GPT with a hex editor is not feasible.  Simply recreating the partitions with Disk Utility will overwrite the key filesystem tables on each partition, and I don't want to do that, plus Disk Utility doesn't allow me to specify exact partition sizes anyway.
    Surely there's an app for rebuilding the partition table (other than emacs' hexl-mode!) for recreating/unerasing a partition table when the partition sizes and orders are known?  I've looked at the advertising for a bunch of recovery software and none of them clearly indicate that they will do what I want. 
    I guess I can try using gpt on a copy of the reformatted drive I've made with dd, and see what happens.  But perhaps someone knows of a tool that should do what I need, or knows if gpt is that tool or not.
    There are answers and tools that will do FILE recovery - search for files and recover the ones that aren't fragmented or deleted.  As far as I can find, they just look for files on the disk, and don't pay much, if any attention to the filesystem info or directory heirarchy, which in this case is valuable.  Of course I could send it in to DriveSavers, or the like.  But none of that seems necessary, and the scavenging file recovery apps won't do the job well,
    E.g. some are mentioned here:
    I don't want to do FILE recovery.
    Thanks for any help.
    The links in this post are to pages describing the underlined term, e.g. the man pages for df and gpt.
    dd output includes:

    Aperture has the ability to work with files in their existing location. They are called "referenced masters." When you import images, you should select the "In their current location" in the "Store Files:" drop down box. Have a read of the documentation for full specifics. Unsure how you can resolve your duplication; might be some work but next time have a read of the manual first
    Information for versions is stored in the Aperture database (library file). The masters can be inside the library file itself, or they can be somewhere else.

  • Rebuilding the iPhoto Library

    I messed up the iPhoto Library!
    What i did was that i wanted to use Automator to COPY all of the original photo files to a new hard drive for backup, but i MOVED them instead. So now I have one big folder of originals and an iPhoto library empty of originals.
    Question:
    1.Can i use the rebuild iphoto library thing?
    2.Where do my originals need to be for iPhoto to find them again?
    3. Any other way or program?
    Thanks!

    You need to put the original files back into the proper film roll folders. I think it will need to be done manually. You can look at which roll the thumbnails with the same file names are located and then move the originals into the same rolls in the Originals folder.
    Inside your library folder (named "iPhoto Library" unless you changed it), you will see two folders you are interested in. The one named "Data" contains the thumbnail files. The one named "Originals" contains the original image files. They have the exact same structure except "Data" only has thumbnail versions of your photos.
    Use the Data folder and its thumbnails to see where your original images should go in the "Originals" folder.
    Rebuilding the library will not help, in fact if you try a rebuild before putting those files back it may mess things up.

    The security level for your inside interface should be 100 ie.
    interface Vlan1
    nameif inside
    security-level 100
    ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
    After changing that can you
    1) ping the outside interface of the ASA from the pc or ping the PC from the ASA
    2) I'm assuming you are trying to connect to 10.1.1.3 when you attempt the connection ?

  • IPhoto 11 won't launch and crashes every time I try to rebuild the library. Urgh.

    iPhoto 11 won't launch- it's another case of an infinite skinny wheel. I've tried rebuilding the library numerous times, each time it takes about a day and each time it crashes near the end. This is just ridiculous. Any tips folks?
    APPLE if you can hear me... shouldn't you be testing this stuff prior to release? I know you do but I mean, like REALLY testing it? This is my second iPhoto upgrade disaster. The last time I lost my entire library, had to spend £80 on recovery software that recovered not only most of my photos, but every image cached on my machine. So then I had the fun of sorting through literally thousands of images...
    And I only got the upgrade becasue my iPhone is refusing to sync, freezing on the iPhoto bit. Gah.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can i remove dust from the inside of my iMac ?

    Good Morning (?)
    Recently moved and there was a fair amount of dust in the new place, some of which has collected around the fan. Is there away to clean the dust that I would guess has migrated to the inside of the computer?
    Early '09 IMac.
    Thank you
    Brian

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a

  • My computer just had to get a new hard drive and we reloading info onto the new hard drive...my iphoto pics are all, there save about 8, but there are NO thumbnails. I tried rebuilding the thumbnails...nothing. I tried creating a new library...nothing.

    I have recently had to purchase a new battery and hard drive. Because it wouldn't back up completely, I was able to recover most information, but it looked a bit different or I have found items in different places. One thing that is happening is in iphoto. All my pics are there, but there are NO thumbnails visible. I have tried rebuilding the thumbnails...nothing. I have tried creating a new library...no info even transferred. Any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto?
    Can you view the pics at full size?

  • If meta data LUN is totaly destroied , is there any way to rebuild the data from the video LUN

    If meta data LUN is totaly destroied , is there any way to rebuild the data from the video LUN ????

    What happened to your metadata? Are you sure the metadata is gone?
    In theory, file carving could be attempted on the data LUNs, but you would need a tool that understands how Xsan lays out data across LUNs in a stripe group and hope your fragmentation isn't too bad. I doubt such a tool exists, but if one does it almost certainly is not publicly available. You should probably contact a data recovery service with experience recovering data from Xsan. Do that before you do anything else if this data is really important.

  • I have a problem with iPhoto , i can't open it , is rebuilding the database since 4 days now and i don't know what to do... i have 50.000 photo in iPhoto and i can't see it anymore....what should i do?

    My iphoto crash few days ago and since few days my imac is try to rebuild the databese....now is 4 days and i'm warryes abouth all my pictures.
    what should i do?

    Try resetting the iPhone,
    Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • I've got an iMac with database corruption found in the DB.. What happens if I rebuild the DB, an option the Database Utility is giving me? Will it wipe out my files or will they be protected?

    Hi all,
    I've been having issues with my iMac, particularly with the Office:Mac Suite.  I took it to the Genius Bar and they confirmed there was some corruption and decided the best thing would be to transfer all my files to the external hard drive I had brought with me.  After the transfer, they completely wiped all apps off the computer, then reloaded them.  They then reloaded my data from the external hard drive back to the computer hard drive. I reloaded the Office mac 2008 Suite when I got home.  Since then I have hooked up the external hard drive back to the computer (it's my time machine) and all is well, except, when I open any of the programs on the Office: Mac suite, I get the following message:
    There is a problem with the Office database
    Office might be unable to access the database or the database files might be damaged.  Without the database, you might beunable to use the Address Book, Scrapbook. and other features that store your personal information
    To rebuild the database, open Microsoft Office 2008/Office, and then open the Microsoft Databse Utility.  For more information, open the Database Utility application, and on the Help menu, click Database Utility Help.
    I did this and it gives me the option of rebuilding the DB but it gives no indication if there is danger of losing all my files.  Does anybody else know what will happen?  Is there another solution?  Should I simply reload the Office: Mac suite again?
    Help!
    Tami

    Copy your DB to the internal hard drive and then run the rebuilder.
    It might be the in the process of reinstalling Office the copy protection file was removed and thus you need to revalidate or something also.

  • How can I get rid of a "speck" on the inside  of my iMac's display? please help me. T_T

    I have a Mid 2011 21.5 baseline iMac which I bought in March 2012. I noticed it just a couple of days ago, there's a tiny grey "speck" in the middle of my screen. I initially thought it was a speck of dust, which I tried to clean off with a microfiber cloth. Well, it didn't come off. I realized that it was on the inside portion of the glass cover. It's is neglegible when the the screen has a dark image but becomes visible when I use a white background like when I use Pages. There are also severaly tiny grey bubles at the bottom black portion of the glass cover. Ther's also a tiny "crack" like something on the top right area (or maybe just a speck of dust, I'm getting a bit paranoid). I'm kinda OCD about my iMac and this is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

    It's under warranty, take it in.

    I've tried this on multiple products so I believe its specific to iTunes not a particular device.

    Same thing here- Get the email but nothing but the Inside featurette. It's really annoying. In fact I can't even download it normally using the check for available downloads feature! Every time I do that iTunes tries to download doubles of three Walking Dead episodes I've already downloaded. I don't want what I already have, I just want the new episode.
