Using a processor from QS in an even older mac?

Hello.
Can I use the processor from my old G4 QuickSilver 733Mhz (broken sound output) in my even older G4 466Mhz? They both have 133Mhz system-bus, so If it does fit, my biggest concern is heat issues.
Thanks.

Hi
the different caches can be confusing, especially as the Digital Audio G4s use two different G4 variants. The 466/533MHz have a large (1MB) but slow (233/266MHz) level 2 cache. The 733MHz has a small (256K) but fast (733MHz) level 2 cache and a large (1MB) but slow (183MHz) level 3 cache. Just to confuse things further though, the 733MHz processor used in the Quicksilver doesn't have the level 3 cache that the same speed processor in the Digital Audio has!
It's difficult to say how much of a speed gain you'll actually notice. If both Macs are still useable though and have a similar spec in terms of the amount of memory etc, perhaps you could perform some tests with the applications you normally use. Alternatively you could try using Xbench and perform the processor tests, although it's a bit artificial.
If things get too hot the case fan should speed up to its higher setting which will be noticeably louder and/or you'll start experiencing kernel panics. I'd be surprised if you actually destroyed the processor and/or logic board, although I guess it's not impossible.
As well the possible heat issues and 12 volt feed that's needed, before installing the processor you'll also need to remove the old thermal pads/paste from the heat sink bottom/processor top and apply some new. This ensures a good heat transfer between the processor and heat sink.
Finally you'll also need to be careful you don't damage anything during the installation. It's not that difficult to do, but when you remove the heat sink clips you need to make sure the screw driver doesn't slip and damage the logic board. Similarly when you remove the processor card, you need to lift it straight up to make sure the processor socket and pins aren't damaged.
I'm not trying to put you off, but I'd keep these things in mind when deciding whether it's worth doing...
I hope this helps.

Problem using Image Processor from Bridge

I have been using the Image Processor to process photos from Bridge for quite some time. However, I recently received an error message when I try to initiate Image Processor from Bridge and I have not been able to find any help topics that address my problem: I select images in Bridge to process, then click "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor". Photoshop opens and the familiar Image Processor dialog box opens. Item 1 in the dialog box says "Process files from Bridge only" and has the number of files I have selected in parenteses. I select the file type and other settings in #3, and preferences in #4. When I click "Run", I get an error message window that says: "Script Alert. There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop". The Image Processor works if I open the files in Photoshop first, then run it by selecting "File>Scripts>Image Processor" and tell it to process all open files.
Would someone be able to help me with this problem?
Thanks, Larry

Usually when it worked before and not now, and you have added no new software or hardware I recommend resetting the preferences. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the Bridge icon to start. You should get a reset window with 3 options.

Using Image Processor from Bridge

I'm trying to use the image processor from within Bridge. I have done this several times in the past, as recently as last week.
I have some files selected in Bridge. I select "Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor" and the dialog box opens. Step 1 indicates that I have files to process (10 in this instance), and I have JPEG selected as the file type to process. When I click "Run", I get an error message that says "Script Alert" in the title. The message in the window says "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop".
I opened the same 10 files in Photoshop, and I was able to run the Image Processor on them while they were open in Photoshop. I'd rather not do this unless I have to.
I haven't added any new programs or plug ins since the last time I used the Image Processor from Bridge.
I had the same problem in early June, and the solution suggested then fixed the problem. I'm experienceing the same problem today, and the same solution doesn't seem to be working now.
The previous solution was to reset the preferences by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the Bridge icon to start. A reset window with 3 options popped up. Now, w
I would sincerely appreciate any help you could give me with this.
Thanks,
Larryhen I hold the control key down and click on the Bridge icon, I don't get the reset window. I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from within Photoshop, and I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from my desktop with Photoshop closed.

Read you original post again and your last post and now I am confused.
You said you reset your Bridge preferences, yet in post #1 you said " I hold the control key down and click on the Bridge icon, I don't get the reset window. I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from within Photoshop, and I tried it by control-clicking on the Bridge icon from my desktop with Photoshop closed.
So with this said you have not reset the preferences unless you have gone in and deleted the file. The Bridge Icon is the one one the desktop that you click to start Bridge.
BUT, in last post you say you have a Mac. So to reset preference believe it is Cmd key.
No matter how you do it you need to get the reset window with the 3 reset options.

CS5 Crashes using Image Processor from Bridge

Photoshop CS5 64 and 32 crashes when using the image processor from Bridge after 200 images or so. Converting 1000 RAW files to PSD or PSD to JPEG takes multiple reloads. any ideas?

I've encountered a non-repeatable variation of this problem from time to time: crash occurs at startup of image processor when Photoshop is open and has been running for some time. (I've not seen the error where Bridge > Image Processor causes launch of Photoshop.) Once I've started a run it has not failed to complete all images (but I'm not converting RAW files and not as many files as 1000). ScriptingSupport.8li is listed in event log problem signature.

Using image processor from RAW format to JPEG, the images are suddenly very muted colour, greyish tone, and just awful looking.

Any ideas as to why, when I am converting a group of images through image processor into JPEG, the resulting images are AWFUL. I have been using this process for years without a concern, and suddenly the JPEG files are very greyish, muted tones and just terrible looking… HELP! I'm WAY too busy right now to be dealing with this and having to manually save each image to JPEG

Which Color Space are the images in?
What are your Color Settings?

Converting XML in WML using XSL Processor from XMLParser v2

When trying to concert an XML doc into WML, it seems like the XSL Processor is removing some WML tags. Below are the XML doc and XSL doc I am using :
The XML DOC

The

Is there something I'm doing wrong ??

Your examples works correctly for me using the XSLT engine that comes with release 2.0.2.6 of the Oracle XML Parser "v2" for Java.
Are you working with this latest release?

Using spare inverter from the US in a european Mac?

Hello,
The backlight on my dear iMac G4 recently blew (I can still see the desktop using a flashlight) and I am looking into replacing the inverter. I realise going with an external display would probably be a safe solution, but I'd really love to bring my G4 screen back to life.
The only thing I wanted to check before going ahead with a purchase is, is it fine to implant an American inverter into a European iMac? Any compatibility issues?
Also, if you have any tips as to where to find an inverter (other than eBay) or tips on how to replace it, feel free!
Many many thanks,
Kieran

Is this an iMac G4 USB2.0 model, 17- inch, 1.25GHz cpu?
If they are the same, I'd say yes to this. Note the reference
page linked below. I only use it for the pictures + part nos.
You may find it helpful since you can search online by part
numbers to see if there were any other replacement nos.
There is a fair likelihood the part would interchange if they are of the same
model series; not a different size screen and not a different processor, etc.
For reference, see a picture of part numbers in the link to *USB 2.0 iMac G4* here:
http://www.mac-pro.com/Mac-Pro-Online-Store/G4-iMac-USB-2-0-Parts from here::
http://www.mac-pro.com/Mac-Pro-Online-Store/G4-iMac-Parts-and-Accessories
The power supply in these computers generally is automatic; other than the plug's
shape on the end of the power cord, the rest of the computer's hardware is the same.
The power supply can run from between 100VAC to like 250VAC (not certain, but it is
a fair range) so only the power cord mains end is country/region specific.
Note the there are three USB2.0 models, and the other item would be AirPort Extreme
support, to help identify a model series; then, there's Identify by Serial number at the
everymac.com page to help narrow down a hardware built. Also MacTracker.ca info.
Info on take-apart of the lower section, is easier to find online than Display takeapart.
• Lower section, to access iMac G4 Take-apart for Drives and RAM upgrades:
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/imacg4/imacg4takeapart.html
Or, similar but with better pictures (not Display, however) is Mr Tote's takeapart:
http://www.mrtotes.co.uk/page1/page1.html
If you can find a source for the images and information on the takeapart process online
such as the original reference technical manuals certified techs used, that'd be a help.
There may be a source such as a fixit site with images of internal iMac Display takeapart.
Hopefully this may be of use.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I use PhotoShop software from my PC on my new Mac?

When my daughter was at university she purchased PhotoShop at a students discounted price through the university and installed it on her PC and on mine. Now I have switched from the PC to a Mac and I wonder if I can re-install the software. Do I have to purchase a Mac version of this software now?

YOu can use it if you install Windows on the Mac. Otherwise, yes you'll need the Mac version. I'd call Adobe and see if they can work w/you on a "cross-grade"

Using first generation ipod for windows with my (older) mac

I have got an old unused 10gb ipod for windows, I beleive it is first generation. My computer meanwhile is an ibook with OS 9.1. Having gone through some really useful discussions on the topic of re-formatting ipods from windows to mac and vice-versa, I got the impression that I should download the ipod software updater. However, the software updater requires OS 10x or later. What can I do without having to upgrade the OS version (that I am otherwise quite happy with). Is is possible that my version of iTunes (v 1.1) has somethig to do with it?
Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance
iBook Mac OS 9.1.x

Thanks - iTunes now recognises the iPod, however version 1.3 of the software updater requires 9.21 (as you've said). Unfortunately I've only got 9.1 so it won't allow me to install. I get a message asking that I "select another volume". Are you aware of an earlier version of the software updater that works with OS 9.1? Presumably one did exist at some point.
Thanks again for your prompt reply - the prospect of getting the iPod actually working is quite exciting!

Tranfer files from an older mac

Hello, everyone. I have been using macs for ages and through the years I have upgraded and bought newer macs numerous times. During a recent spring cleaning, I discovered a mac I had a very long time ago. I can't say for sure what the OS is, but it's pre-9, for sure. It's probably 7 or 8. I know it's more than ten years old, if that helps. Anyway, I was excited about what might be on there that I haven't seen in a while, but the monitor that's with it doesn't work. The computer itself starts up fine. I don't think any modern monitor will work with it, and it doesn't have a new enough firewire to put it in target mode and look at it with my laptop. Does anyone have any ideas about getting the files from this old mac onto a newer mac? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Many Macs included either an Ethernet port or a proto-Ethernet port called AAUI. They are both identified with the Icon
<•••>
If you have AAUI, only a used US$5 RJ-45 transceiver cable is required to convert to what we have settled on today as a "standard" Ethernet port.
Even older Macs had serial "Printer" ports that could be set to talk AppleTalk/LocalTalk. They can be connected to more modern Macs by converting AppleTalk/LocalTalk to AppleTalk-over-Ethernet. Two easy connection or "bridging" methods are available.
1) Buy a stunt-box that does it for you. Farallon EtherMac iPrint LT or Asante AsanteTalk are both available used, asanteTalk is still being manufactured.
2) Download free Apple software and run it on an older Mac that has both Serial printer port set up as LocalTalk and an Ethernet port for AppleTalk-over-Ethernet. It is called LocalTalk Bridge and is available on the Older Software Downloads page.

Why when i want to download a free app from app store it asks for my apple id and when i give my apple id it then says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store". i dont even know what that means and it will this happen everytime?

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

Hi Dude,
I ve seen all the threads from first to last even am gonna get a iphone 4s from Thailand. Would like to know which sim will be working fine in chennai as you all are using d phone for past many days??? Is it advisable to buy a phone from abroad.

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

HT1451 how do I create playlists now of my downloaded music. Used to drag from "recently dowloaded" to playlist. Can't even find the dang songs!!!!!

how do I create playlists now of my downloaded music. Used to drag from "recently dowloaded" to playlist. Can't even find the dang songs!!!!!

However, my troubleshooting issue is that I also want the songs in my concert playlists to go in order of how they were performed at the concerts.
Give them a track number.
Each time I number them within the playlists the song's number also changes within the Library Music list.
And? I'm not seeing the problem.
However, I can not figure out how to make true copy. I've already tried dragging the song to my desktop, then dragging the new copy back into iTunes. I've even tried renaming the duplicate copy and dragging it into iTunes. Why won't my iTunes make an individual duplicate copy of a song?
How do you have iTunes manage your music? If you drag a song to the desktop it may just be moving the file to the desktop.
Command+R to reveal the file in Finder. Command+D to duplicate the file in Finder. Drag the duplicate to iTunes to add the second copy. Not that I totally understand where the issues lie and feel this is likely not the best remedy...
