What is the Best Power MAC G5 for Graphic Design and Video Edit
I need the Best Power MAC G5 Processor CPU
and Ram HDD Graphic card for Graphic Design and Video Edit
and the name of the Processor
how much the priceHi GabreilKnight;
You are aware that the PowerMac G5 is no longer being produced hence if you find one it will be on the used market?
For what you are looking at doing I would suggest that you consider a Mac Pro instead.

What to do with Power Mac G4 Sawtooth
I have an Eleven year old Power Mac G4 - Sawtooh. (1999)
I have the GigaHrzt 1.4 ghz processor upgrade inside. It rips along !!
I have 1.2 GB of Ram
I have Two 160 GB drives ( the poor mac thinks they are 127 gb )
I have Two 200 GB Drives in a ATTO Stripe raid = one Drive about 400GB.
I have a DVD Burner
I have the Original DVD-RAM drive as well.
I have the Internal Modem - rmember the screaking noise for log in ?
I love this computer !! I can edit in Final Cut Pro 4.5 and it still rips along !!
BUT - alas.... along comes HD and I can no longer get this G4 to import or edit any of that JD, in close to real time...imagine 20 minute wait just to watch a cut !
I was thinking of turming it into a BIG back up hard drive - or a server....?
So I am looking for Ideas ! I hate to see my old friend go - sell her off on Craigs List for $50.... But She is SOOOO LOUD compared to my new Mac Pro tower !
And soooOOO SLoooww in comparision.
And I need the Mac Pro to rip through the HD video stuff !!
Any ideas ?
ThanksI've even got a 56 K modem inside !
I'm still looking for ideas...??
If your internet service provider makes dial-up service available, you can use the internal modem of your G4 Sawtooth to connect to the Internet on those occasions when high-speed service to your location gets interrupted. Albeit, the dial-up service won't be very fast, but sometimes it can be helpful while a high-speed service interruption is being remedied.
Also, you can then share that dial-up connection with another computer by connecting them with a FireWire cable.
In OS X 10.4.11 Tiger:
In System Preferences > Sharing, click on the Services tab. Then click to put a check mark in the check box to the left of Personal Web Sharing. Then click on the Start button. Next, click on the Firewall tab. In the Allow box, there should be another check mark in a check box to the left of Personal Web Sharing, if the Firewall is on. Then click on the Internet tab. To the right of "Share your connection from:", select Internal Modem from the drop-down menu. Under "To computers using:" click to put a check mark in the check box to the left of Built-in Firewire. Then click on the Start button. When asked whether you want to turn on Internet Sharing, click on the additional Start button.
In OS X 10.5.8 Leopard:
In System Preferences > Sharing, do not yet click to put a check mark in the check box to the left of Internet Sharing, but rather click on the words "Internet Sharing" to highlight that option. To the right of "Share your connection from:" select Internal Modem from the drop-down menu. To the right of "To computers using:" click to put a check mark in the check box to the left of Firewire. Next, click to put a check mark in the check box to the left of Internet Sharing. Then, when asked whether you want to turn on Internet Sharing, click on the Start button.
It might take some time before the second computer is able to access the Internet. I'm not sure how long it might take. Maybe it will be immediate, maybe it will be a few seconds, or maybe longer. Also, the Internet connection might get dropped occasionally, although maybe it won't either. If it does get dropped, stopping and restarting Internet Sharing has eventually worked for me.
In summary, your G4 can be used as a back-up means of connecting to the Internet in case of high speed service outages. -
Hi,
I work on a second hand macbook pro running on 10.9 and now want office for mac on it, additionally to the sofware I already have.
On my old macbook I had office 2004 and since I still have two product codes unused was hoping these can still be used, but I tried to install it and it's just not supported anymore.
Since I don't have a lot of budget right now I hope 2008 may be possible to be installed since I can get one for only a little money (want no illegal copies), but it's a shame to get it if it turns out not to work.......I read somewhere 2008 is not supported anymore but I don't know if that necessarily means it cannot be installed.....
or do I need 2011 at least?
Or would 10.9 actually only allow the latest 2013 version to be installed?
I'd like to know before buying anything......
Right now it actually has an office 2011 version installed by the previous user but unfortunately that one was not activated and I have no way to retrieve the product code.
as i said, i like it to be legal, that's why I prefer buying the original software and the older versions can be found cheaper......
I hope someone can give me some advice!
thanks,Office 2011 is the current boxed version for the Mac. The two versions are Home and Business. The difference (besides price) is that the Business version includes Outlook. Both contain Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
Actually, the Home version also has Outlook hidden on the disk. If you decided later you want to use Outlook, you can call Microsoft for an unlock code to install it from the Home version disk. The unlock cost is essentially the difference between the Home and Business versions.
You mentioned Office 2013, but that's the current Windows version. MS hasn't really stated one way or another if there will be a feature comparable boxed Mac version. If there is, it looks like we won't see it until sometime in 2014. To get the current functionality of Office 2013 in a Mac product, you'd have to purchase the subscription based Office 365.
It does depend on your needs. Often, Office must be used for true compatibility with people you work, or collaborate with. It also has many features the free alternatives don't offer, and can't import or replicate. Otherwise, as Gary noted, Open Office is a good free choice. -
G5 Power Mac RAID 0 - Need advice
I have purchased 2x400gb WD RAID drives and am running Tiger. What is the easiest way to set up a RAID 0 with these drives? I have a complete backup of my current 80gb Startup and 320gb extra on an external 500gb Drive. So I am ready to re-install Tiger, should I just use disk utility once i've installed the OS on the new drives? Thanks for the help people!
Rich.Ask WD about the 30 days already?
Check the specs for Firmtek SeriTek controller support for your WD 400GB.
I do not like to put media files on boot drives.
RAID 2 x 500GB for photo editing.
Store media files on the 2 x 400 drives with SeriTek (or Sonnet) PCI SATA controller. Put those drives into SATA case for 2 drives.
SeriTek has a nice case for two drives $169-199. Sonnet Fusion would let you add more drives. Just don't expect to RAID.
From my FAQ:
G5 Support - "The Apple G5 tower does not support certain standard Serial ATA interface protocols used by the WD4000YR, WD4000KD, WD1500AHFD, and WD1500ADFD hard drives resulting in an interface lock-up. This causes the computer system to hang. The only work-around we have identified at this time is installing a SATA Host Bus Adapter (controller card), effectively circumventing the on-board interface." WD FAQ: Apple G5
Not suitable for use on the native SATA ports. -
What monitors will work with the Power Mac G5?
If I got a new Power Mac, would I need to get a new monitor (Apple Display), too? I have a Dell 17" LCD monitor (VGA). Would this work with the Power Mac?
HP P4 1.8GHz Windows XP ProYes. You'll need to use the included DVI to VGA adapter to connect the monitor.

Power Mac G4 won't startup from OS X install disc
I have a Power Mac G4 that needs to have the Classic environment on it. I've done some checking and apparently this isn't possible with 10.4, so I'm trying to install an old version of teh OS. I have the Power Mac G4 OS X 10.2.1 install discs that came with the computer, as well as the Mac OS 9 Install disc.
When I try to boot from the OS X install disc, nothing really happens. I've tried running the application on the disc taht automatically restarts the computer to the install disc. I've tried restarting while holding down the C key. I've tried selecting it as the startup disc in system preferences. I've tried holding down the option key when restarting, and it doesn't even list the install disc as an option.
The only thing different that happens when I try any of these methods (except the option key, where nothing different happens at all) is when starting up, a small bluish-purplish folder with the "mac face" on it shows up for about 5 seconds, and then it continues on to start up normally in my current OS 10.4.9, just like it would when doing a normal restart.
Oh yeah, and I've tried this with multiple copies of the OS X install discs that are specifically for G4s and the same thing happens, so I'm pretty sure it's not the CD.
Can anyone help me in my quest to get a version of OS 9 running on my computer? Thanks in advance for the help!!!Hi, molfeselab -
I've done some checking and apparently this isn't possible with 10.4...
I have no idea where you might have got that info, but it is not correct. OSX 10.4 (Tiger) does indeed work with Classic. Classic needs to be OS 9.1 or later; OS's 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 have better compatibility in that role.
I've tried this with multiple copies of the OS X install discs that are specifically for G4s...
Your machine will not be able to use any original OSX Install CDs that are for a different model G4 - the original disks that ship with a machine are specific to that particular model.
Since your G4 apparently came with a separate Software Install CD for OS 9, that is what you should use to get OS 9 onto the hard drive. Boot to that CD, then run the installer app - Mac OS Install.
Depending what version is installed by that disk, you may want to update it to a later version of OS 9 via download updater. However, if your G4 originally came also with OSX install disks, then the separate OS 9 Install CD is at least OS 9.2.
It would help to know the exact model G4 you have, including processor speed and number of processors.

I need an inlet fan for Power Mac G5
I have a Late 2004 Power Mac G5 that needs an inlet fan any good websites?
Hey Miles, Of course the fans work. Why would I offer a non working fan? Anyway I need some info as to which fan you need. They are all called inlet fans. There is the two in the back the two in the middle that slide out for access to the memory and the one up by the hard drive / optical drive bay. The fans are all off my now dead Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz. This is the PCI-X Quad so the Fans all seem to be the same as the DP PCI-X Macs but not 100% sure. Do you know the part # you need? I'll take a pic and post once I get home from work.

I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it. The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network. This is a pre-intel computer. Do I need an additional antennae? If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.
Please check out the following Apple Support article to see if your particular Power Mac model supports an external Wi-Fi antenna.

What are the normal operating temps for a G5 Quad Core Power Mac Tower?
I asked this within another thread but I am afraid it will get buried and think it deserves its own item.
I just downloaded Temperature Monitor and have been looking at the data. I have no idea how to interpret the figures and there are no listings of specified upper and lower limits even though there is an area where those numbers should go.
The numbers are constantly in flux, going up and down a degree or two but here is a recent example from a screenshot taken while I was running WORD (but not working on any document), Terminal, Apple Mail, Firefox (two windows open), Temperature Monitor, Preview, Dashboard and Finder:
Air Tunnel 99.5 degrees F
Air Tunnel Heatsink 92.8 degrees F
CPU A Core 1 Diode 107.5 degrees F
CPU A Core 2 Diode 107.8 degrees F
CPU B Core 1 Diode 108.0 degrees F
CPU B Core 2 Diode 111.5 degrees F
Drive Bay 87.8 degrees F
Graphics processor chip 131.0 degrees F
Main Logic Board Air Inlet --- (this is always missing)
Main Logic Board Backside 108.7 degrees F
Memory Controller Diode 133.9 degrees F
SMART Disk WDC WD2500JS-41M.... 104.0 degrees F.
The icon for the program, in the dock, gives me an ever changing number that is perhaps an overall reading - an average. Right now the number is 106.4 degrees F (taken some minutes after the screenshot providing the above data). Always in flux.
Do any of these temps look alarming? And HOW and WHERE do I find out what the temperatures SHOULD be?
PS I have APPLE RAM.If you want to find out whether a sensor value is within normal limits, please select the menu item Window > Show Overview (or press Apple+1) and look for the limits in the third and fourth column of the sensor table. They contain the known official limits Apple has specified for readings acquired at the given sensor locations. If no limit is given in the table, this either means that it does not make sense to specify a limit for this particular sensor (e.g. the battery capacity should not have limits), or Apple hasn't published any specifications for this sensor.
Note that all up-to-date Macintosh models automatically shut down or enter sleep mode if one of the readings exceeds a critical limit. For this reason it is impossible that your computer can be damaged in an overtemperature condition.

There are also notes on the two version for the G5 Quad.

how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?
Ok, I saw that error in your logic. A Dual G5 2.3 or even a Dual Core 2.3 does NOT use LCS at all. Its air cooled and if anything if the OP is experiencing this problems could be due to possible heatsink paste drying up. He might have to re-apply MX 7 or Arctic Silver.
The only G5's that use LCS are: G5 dual 2.5 from Late 2004, the G5 Dual 2.7 from Early 2005, and lastly the G5 Quad-Core from Late 2005-end of September 2006.
Hope this helps. -
