Where is the programmers Button an the Quicksilver (2001)

Hi at all,
i need the programmers Button for the Sonnet Firmware Patch, but i can not find them. The Quicksilver has three Buttons, the Power, the restart and another very little one. I can press what I want, no Button or Button combination works. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.
Powermac G4 Quicksilver 2001   Mac OS 9.2.x   Sonnet Encore SG41800

This is for apple but i would guess it might help.
1. Double-click the Power Mac G4 Firmware Updater icon.
Note: If a message says your firmware is up-to-date with version 4.2.8 of the Power Mac G4 Firmware Update, or that this version of the Power Mac G4 Firmware Updater will not run on this computer, then you do not need this update. If a message says you need to install Mac OS 9.1 or later, the Firmware Updater will not run until you do so.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions. When prompted, click Shut Down in the dialog box to shut down your Power Mac G4.
3. Locate the programmer's button on the front of the Power Mac G4, to the right of the reset button. Press and hold in the programmer's button. You may need to use a pen or a straightened paper clip.
4. While you hold in the programmer's button, press the Power button to start up your Power Mac G4.
5. Continue to hold in the programmer's button until you hear a long tone. Release the programmer's button when you hear the tone. The update starts automatically.
A status bar shows the progress of the update. When a message says your computer's firmware has been successfully updated to version 4.2.8, you are finished.
Note: If a message says the update was not completed successfully, review the instructions and begin the update process again.

  • In Praise of the Quicksilver 2001 - 867 MHz

    Yes, I have newer machines but this one has been working very, very well for over six years and I decided that I was not going to let it go and not give it the Leopard treatment. I find it amazing how well it is working with all the current system updates, a process that would cripple any older PC. I was a little concerned to find that now this machine is at the bottom of the Leopard food chain, but I did a backup on an external if I had to find my way back to Tiger.
    Over the course of time I made some changes. I swapped out the 32 MB ATI Graphics card for a 128 MB model three years ago (Core Image as software though); I swapped out the 60 GB hard drive with a 120 MB model (largest this machine can take); and I added a PCI (SATA) card that allowed me to install a 250 MB internal as well. I also added an Airport (not extreme) Card to connect to the local network. The machine was built with 1.12 GB of RAM.
    The installation seemed to go well, about an hour or so overall (I believe this machine has a 4x DVD read). Of course I had the issue with the Login based on 10.1 or earlier and found this right after my login after the installation. I had to do a new keychain, but (although a little inconvenient) it was fairly easy to do.
    The first thing I noticed is that the icons for the PCI card connected drives had changed. Before they looked like the main hard drive, now they are orange and are similar to the FireWire attached drives. Everything seems faster than Tiger, and that is quite impressive on an over six year old machine. Safari is snappier than ever. Mail is fast as well. I don't miss the Spotlight delay while typing at all. Quick Look and the additions to viewing files in the Finder work fine and are very useful.
    My menu bar is not transparent (not enough GPU power?), so for some detractors this may be a good thing, but it doesn't detract from the use at all. I'm a left-side dock person and I liked the original design that looked like when it was on the bottom, but the current configuration is OK and the lights for active programs are very easy to see. It seems to be using up more RAM than previously, but I'll have to keep watching that and see if it's overall or just certain things.
    Overall my rating of this effort is a big success, and I'm sure I'd find it harder and harder to live without Leopard each day if I did not upgrade this machine. I'm not expecting this machine to act like a top of the line model, but with it's new spots, this mature machine has a lot of life left in it!
    Some things I've tried so far (not in great detail, just briefly):
    Photoshop CS seems to work.
    Filemaker 8.5 seems to work.
    Rise of Nations seems to work (maybe a tad slower in some respects, but barely noticeable)
    Word seemed to work, although it seemed a bit cranky when initially highlighting text and moving windows.
    Still bonding with Stacks, seems useful but requires some mindset adjustment, but it is faster than having the Application Folder in the Dock and holding it down for a menu of the contents. It would be nicer if you just saw a folder though and not the first application icon in the dock.
    Spaces are definitely Cool!
    Preview (4.0) has an odd crash after adjusting colors and trying to save
    Disk Utility (11.0) takes a while to repair permissions and only give the rotating status bar while doing so.
    So here are some thoughts from the bottom edge of the Leopard territory -- and they are good! And I still have a lot of testing to do yet.

    Well, it's been a month with Leopard and I like it very much, but on this machine I not quite "sold" as of yet. I'm hoping future updates round off the rough edges and put the past spark into all aspects of the machine.
    I really like Spaces, CoverFlow and QuickLook.
    I really don't like the Preview Crash, Disk Utility Speed and Indication, Hunger for RAM, and the "Little Stall".
    The Preview crash still happens when adjusting and trying to save, but this is happening among a large number of different machines so it may be with the GPU and Leopard coding.
    Disk Utility still takes longer than Tiger in repairing permissions and the graphical indicator of the task is still not fully corrected yet.
    RAM seems to be more of an issue than it ever was with Tiger. I've got 1.125 GB well within the requirement, but at times it seems to get taken up more frequently than under Tiger. While running Tiger I never had to check what was using what RAM with Activity Monitor. It seems that more stays active with Leopard as with Tiger the active was always somewhere between 25% to 40% of RAM, and the inactive was at least that much or more, but active would slim down and inactive (less yellow than blue - on Activity Monitor standard colors) would increase, but never any slowdowns with this scheme. With the same amount of applications running in Leopard, the yellow (active) will work it's way up to half with very little blue (inactive). Over time if you leave the machine on and sleep more RAM will kept getting taken up. From my observations it seems to be Safari, which starts out at about 50-80 MB for five tabs, but overtime and surfing it will balloon up to over 300 MB and it makes more sense to quit and restart Safari to get back more RAM. I thought it might be related to Spaces, but I turned it off and the RAM usage was the same. I always expected Leopard to use more of the RAM, but I think there must be some optimizations that can be done to make better use of what is available and to curtail Safari's thirst for memory. Make no mistake, Safari is a great browser; and is my number one choice.
    The "Little Stall" (using a Seinfeld-esque slant at naming) is also a result of Leopard I'd like to see the last of. While running the new screen savers "Shell" or "Arabesque" or using any of the iTunes Visualizer (including the original), the effect will run for about three seconds then they're be a "little stall" of about half of a second and it will continue for three seconds and on. It almost seems like there is some disk usage or caching involved and seems odd as I have 128 MB of Video RAM (ATI Radeon 9000 Pro). Could it be that even with 128 MB that Core Image is being done as software and not hardware is causing the the "Little Stall"? I find that hard to believe that this is how the effects are supposed to work on a machine with a non-programable GPU, since there are a number of machines that are well within Leopards requirements that have non-programable GPU's. How many iBooks and other machines are out there with 32 MB GPU's of the same type? I'm hoping that future updates will bring us updated ATI drivers that allow Leopard to take advantage of the same things Tiger could without issue.
    All that said, I have Tiger on a backup drive with a complete backup of the drive when I did the upgrade, and I booted up in it the other day to update my Mail if I decide to take this machine back to Tiger and concede on Leopard. As I was working in Tiger, it was as good as I remembered, but in the end I was really missing some of the Leopard features. So I'm keeping Leopard (updating Tiger mail as a fail safe) and hoping future updates will take the Leopard experience on the Quicksilver 2001 - 867 MHz to where it needs to be.
    So in the end, I'm a bit torn between what I had, what I have, and keeping hope for what I will get in the end. I'm a few tweaks away from true happiness, but the wait is excruciating.... I know I'm not alone, so let's hope the tweaks and fixes come fast and furious.

  • Where is the mute button on a MacBook? Thanks.

    Where is the mute button on a MacBook? I see F10, F11 and  F12, but when I push each, nothing happens when I'm in iPhoto running a slide show and trying to turn the volume down. (I now understand how to mute the music...just have to be sure to punch "set as default" after un-checking the play music button.

  • Where is the photos button in the new version of iTunes?  Need to sync photos from teh computer but photos buton doesn't exit or is hidden.

    Where is the photo button in the new version of iTunes?  I need to sync photos from the computer?

    On iTunes 11 you can re-enable the sidebar via View > Show Sidebar. To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from you library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

  • Where is the remote button located in iTunes?

    Hello Community,      
            I updated both the Remote app and iTunes to the most recent iTunes 11. When I got to enter my Passcode to add my iTunes library it prompts me to "open iTunes on your computer and selct "yourdevice" from the Devices list. I go into iTunes but can't seem to know where to go. Where would the remote button be located?
    In iTunes Help center directions are as stated:
    "Pair Remote with an iTunes library
    1.Tap Remote on your device’s Home screen.
    2.Tap Add an iTunes Library.A 4-digit code appears.
    3.Open iTunes on your computer and click the Remote button .
    4.Type the 4-digit code in the iTunes window.iTunes pairs the library on your computer with the Remote app on your device."
    If you can help please direct me in the easiest way possible. Thanks!

    Still no answer to this important question, nearly a year after it was posted? WHERE IS THE REMOTE BUTTON that we are supposed to pair Remote app on the iPhone with? Here's what the help file says in French :

    2. Touchez Ajouter une bibliothèque iTunes.Un code à 4 chiffres apparaît.
    3. Ouvrez iTunes sur votre ordinateur, puis cliquez sur le bouton Remote .
    4. Tapez le code à 4 chiffres dans la fenêtre iTunes.iTunes jumelle la bibliothèque de votre ordinateur avec l’app Remote de votre appareil.
