Screen spanning emac 700 MHz

Hello all,
I presume this is a quite stupid question, but here goes; is it possible to do screen spanning with a 700 MHz eMac? I've got a Iiyama Vision Mater Pro 455 here - and I'd like to span the screen instead of mirror it completely. That way I can edit much more easily with FCP.
Is there any way to do this through software? (I tried Screen Spanning Doctor, but they've excluded the 700 MHz) Or do I need to upgrade the hardware - if so, what hardware?
Thanks a bunch everybody!

it doesn't work with a 700 MHz.
So I guess if it isn't possible I need to upgrade the hardware. Is this possible?
Sorry, I missed that you'd already tried it; apologies. But if Screen Spanning Doctor doesn't work, you may be out of luck. It's not possible to upgrade the video chip in your eMac, and I don't think a later-model eMac logic board would fit in your eMac's case, though I can't say for sure. Even if it is possible, it's probably not going to be cost-effective. Logic boards for 1GHz eMacs are going for over $300.00 US on the sites I've found that carry them, and you could probably buy an entire 1Ghz eMac for not much more, particularly if you sell yours and apply the proceed toward the purchase of the later-model unit.

Networking Tigerized eMac 700 MHz and PM 7200 OS7.6.1 - need help!

Hello,
I've looked on the boards and hit up Google but to no avail so I thought I'd try to ask in this forum for the help I need in sorting out my problem.
I have an eMac 700MHz, and am trying to connect my old (but functioning) PowerMac 7200. I want to back up a few bits of data and then format the HDD and reinstall an OS on it before selling/tossing it.
I tried to do this using an Ethernet cable. On the eMac in the Network view, I'd get a greyed out image of the PM, but it tells me that I can't get anywhere as there is an incompatibility in Apple Talk versions being used.
The PowerMac is old and only has 16MB of RAM. I'm not keen to buy a copy of OS8+ just to transfer less than a CD-R's worth of old mail and docs. Would that it had USB, I'd plug in a thumb drive or my iPod Shuffle.
The HDD is also pretty full - maybe 40MB of the 500MB is free. I tried to use a CD-R in the drive that I'd burnt on the eMac, but the PM wouldn't recognize it saying that the thing was unreadable. Have standards changed that much?
What's frustrating about this is I bought it second-hand from an Apple shop in '99, but they didn't give me any OS discs. Back then I was a tad more naive about computers and such. Now I wonder how they got away with it, and if any of the software I might have otherwise received could have helped me.
Any assistance that can be provided - any at all! - would be most welcome. I'm trying to tidy up the house here since a cohabiting family member has become unwell, and it'd free up space I could use for other things.
Thanks in advance,
Hoopy

No need to change the name of the OS 9 System Folder since the folder order list doesn't matter. It sounds as if you need to re-bless the OS 9 System Folder, per the instructions under No "blessed" Mac OS 9 System Folder in Classic doesn't start, Mac OS 9 not installed or recognized.
You may also find OS X: How to Perform Mac OS 9 Clean Install useful. Some posters have noted problems with natively booting OS 9 after upgrading to Tiger, although I had no problems a while back when I booted my office Quicksilver G4 in OS 9 to try to get HP all-in-one drivers installed for use in Classic.
Cavet: when the 700 MHz eMac shipped, it was formatted to be a dual boot machine. If at any time since then you reformatted the hard drive using the OS X Install disc, there's a gotcha: OS X does not by default include the OS 9 boot driver. That has to explicitly enabled. If the OS 9 drivers are missing, I'm not aware of any way to reinstall the OS 9 drivers without having to reformat the hard drive, although someone in the OS 9 or Classic forums may be better able to help.

What can I do to boot?

Restart with the Option key held down.
If the internal drive shows up, it's the PRAM battery.
If it doesn't, insert a compatible Mac OS 9 or X install disk, click the button with the circular arrow, and either repair the internal drive or install a new OS on it. If it doesn't show up in Disk First Aid(9) or the Disk Utility(X), it's either not plugged in or needs to be replaced.

Hebrew / English Keyboard for 700 MHz eMac

Does anyone know of a Hebrew English USB Keyboard for a 700 MHz eMac either made for a PC or Mac? If it's for a PC how do I get an ⌘ key besides using a decal?

Have you tried a Google search on Hebrew USB keyboard? You should find a number of sites, including this:

700 MHZ iMac g3 won't boot up

Hi I'm having a bit of a problem with my iMac g3. it's the 700 MHZ snow edition and it's not wanting to start up. although I hear the cd drive spin up as there is a cd in the drive and I also hear a faint crackle from the CRT Monitor but I don't hear a startup chime and there is no power light or display on the screen

Probably a power supply problem which are hard to fix.

Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:

EMac 700 freezes randomly

Hey,
I've got an eMac 700 and it freezes 4x to 100x times a day.
I've try everything pram reset reset in open firmware, but nothing helps.
As far as I can see it only happens when my eMac gets hot or when it try to start MacOSX, because when I let my eMac a half day runnig on a bleu screen what I get when I start with the option key pushed to select the operating system, it works my mouse is working well but when he starts and comes to the white screen with the Apple logo to start up it freezes or it freezzes 2 or 3 minutes later minutes later when i'm working on my Mac.
What can cause this problem?
Is it software is hardware?
Thnx a lot

Ibook 500 mhz upgraded to 700 mhz

I've upgraded my ibook 500 mhz to a 700 mhz by switching the logic board. Everything seemed to be working well,unfortunately now I can install any new system software on it. Everytime I try to install either OS 9 or OS X from different CD's, an installer error occurs. With one CD the screen changes with coloured lines through it, other cd's give me installer errors. Has anyone ever heard of something like this before?
Thanks.

The fact that the two models have different methods for resetting the PMU should have been a clue to you that this would not work. I'm afraid you are going to have to try something different.
The logic board for the 500 MHz model can be found at PowerBook Tech. If you talk to Daniel there, he may be able to tell you which other model will work. (I believe you could use the 600 MHz model and have it work okay, too, but he will know for certain.) He may be willing to swap boards with you.
Good luck.

EMac 800 mhz, OS 10

I am preparing an emac 800 mhz for resale, and wiped the hard drive. I can only get OS9 to reinstall on the system. When I try to install OS 10.2, with the origonal disks that came with the computer, it goes into a kernel panic when I run the install process. I am stuck at this point. I had this machine running 10.3 connecting wirelessly a few months ago. Still a decent machine and would love to get a few bucks out of it if I could get it back up to OS 10. Any ideas on what to do or try? Thanks

1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
   3. Click the Erase tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install.

Does my macbook support, with the addition of a monitor using the
adapter ...screen spanning (e.g. the ability to drag a app over onto
the second screen so that someone can say watch a movie from that
screen while I surf the web on my macbook's main screen)?

Great! Thanks for the reply

IMac Intel with Parallels, Two Monitors and Screen Spanning

Hi,
Longtime Mac user forced into using Windows XP for my business. I have an iMac G5 2.1 (iSight) PowerPC. I need two monitors with screen spanning so I'm thinking of getting an iMac Intel, running Bootcamp or Parallels with XP Pro, and using a screen-spanning program.
1. Can I run Windows XP on the Intel Mac and use screen spanning with a PowerPC iMac?
2. Is it better to load the screen-spanning software on the XP or Mac system?
Thanks! Any help appreciated.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
if nobody answers your questions it could also be that nobody has tried it yet.
I haven't tried this setup yet, so forgive me for fishing in muddy water.
Windows XP is capable of using two (or depending on the graphics card even more) monitors for duplicating or spanning.
My own two Intel Macs are showing me this opportunity in the preferences.
Since I never had the need to do so I have never attached a second monitor.
The Intel iMacs and MacPros are capable of attacing second monitors however with the iMacs you a adapter which you can get from Apple.
I would suggest (if possible) to go the nearest Apple Store and try to convince the guys there to do such a setup for you to verify that it works.
Good Luck
Stefan

How to identify an iBook G/3 700 MHz?

I'm trying to get an accurate identification of the iBook white G/3 700 MHz with 12in display we just acquired. There seems to be a couple of very similar models. The Apple Support article is unclear (<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88039>) as to which one we have. One model is an early 2002 release (M8602LL/A), the other a late 2002 release (M8860LL/A). Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your time.

Connecting external monitor--not screen span

Lots of people ask about screen spanning and I see a clear answer there...but I am just trying to a find an inexpensive way to monitor my FCP editing projects on a cheap field monitor (or more likely an old television) for color correction purposes. I do own the apple vga adapter but thats it at this point--what should i do next? thanks

If you have an imac G5, you can color correct it for Pro color matching (NOT the 17, just the 20).
Forget the iMac vid. adapter. The VGA output on the iMac is below VESA standards (intentional? I don't know... but the Powermac/Powerbook is good!). If you're using a Trinitron like I am (or plan to) for external color work, the iMac will possibly offer you dim video like the Mac Mini.

Upgrading Emac 700

Hi guys i wanted to upgrade my Emac 700 motherboard, processor etc. Can it be done and where? I live in the UK. Thanks. Lee

The main logic board (including the processor) cannot be upgraded. The hard drive, RAM, and certain other things can, but it's not easy, nor cheap, nor even fun.
I'd strongly urge you to consdier a newer Mac. A refurbished Mac Mini is about the cheapest route, if budget is an issue.

EMac 700 fan CFM?

I'm planning on replacing the case fan in my eMac 700.
I've searched this forum and googled everywhere for information on how much air the stock fan pushes, what its CFM is.
Does anyone know and if so, would you tell me, please?
Many thanks.

Actually, because it has a relatively low 2800 rpm rotational speed for a unit its size, it only pushes 2.2 cubic feet per minute.
But matching it is impossible. While the basic fan is an NMB Technologies 4710KL-04W unit, it is housed in a custom shroud. The fan blades and motor are integrated into this housing, and cannot be removed without destroying it. The entire fan and shroud assembly, with gaskets, is easily removable from the remainder of the AC inlet and filter frame.
This is not an off-the-shelf item, and the fan and AC inlet assembly for the nVidia graphics driven eMac product line is no longer available from Apple. When it was, users would likely have paid about $ 59.00 for it. Expensive for a fan alone, but in line with the cost of similar assemblies. The later 922-5866 assembly for ATI graphics driven models, which is reasonably similar but not interchangeable, is still available.
If you are interested in a drop in replacement for your original fan alone, write to me at the address listed in my Public Profile.

Screen Spanning and external monitor

Hello,
This morning I experimented my iBook and screen spanning.
I got my resolution to 1280X1024, but- The mirrored image sat in the middle of the external screen..I don't know if this is my monitor that is doing this, or if it's some setting I can set on either the laptop or monitor.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Did you use Screen Spanning Doctor?
