If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

168 Pin RAm for Power Mac

Does anyone know if MT8LD864AG-6 168 pin DIMM is compatible with the RAM for Power Mac 8500 120MHz and Power MAc 7200 120 MHz?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hi Robert,
The ZIF processor upgrade I have in my Beige G3 MT (300 mHz originally) is a Sonnet G3/500--I wish it were a G4! I installed it when I still had OS9. It stayed in place when I installed Jaguar and, later, Panther.
As Grant mentions, I used a third-party helper program called XPostFacto, "XPF" for short. Installing "unsupported" Panther with XPF was far easier than installing the "supported" Jaguar and the computer is now more stable.
T'was Grant who talked me into trying Panther. Now I can't believe I waited so long! I used an older version of XPF, version 3.1, at Grant's suggestion. V3.1 seems to be the "sweet spot" for installing Panther. Some Beige G3 owners have successfully installed 10.4.x with later version of XPF but more users have reported stability issues than with 10.3.
If you are interested in learning more about the upgrade paths available to the Beige G3, there is a very active forum area here:

?Best OS X version for Power Mac Cube G4-I want to reformat and start again in the hope it will work faster.

Hi. I want to reformat and start again in the hope my G4 PowerMac Cube will work faster. So I'd like to know what the best version of Mac OS X is for the G4. Can anyone advise? Many thanks.

Hi, the best for speed is the lowest OSX it'll run & still do what you need.
10.1.5 would run in 96MB of RAM, 10.2.x took twice as much, 10.3.x twice again, 10.4.x twice again, 10.5.x thrice again & better Video caards.
And those are minimums, twice that being fairly useful, 4 times that being pretty good.
I suspect 10.4.11 is going to be your "Sweet Spot", I wouldn't run 10.4 on PPC Macs with less than 1.5 GB of RAM, not on IntelMacs with less than 3-4GB of RAM.
OSX is very dependent on it's spped & usability by the speed & amount of free space on the HD.
So we know more about it...

Best free antivirus online for Power Mac G5?

I was just notified that there is a virus on my flash drive (DLACTRLW.EXE virus) and I was told to download AVG from cnet.com for free. I don't think this works for macs, so I was hoping someone could tell me what might be the best for my Power Mac G5.
Thanks for your help!

my advice is simply be careful. Dont open suspicious emails, etc.
Also , learn how viruses work. For example, all files have a 3-letter extension. On windows machines, a program capable of running ( and thus of doing harm) has the extension ".exe" So you can spot a potential virus by its extension. note that some viruses some in with a different extension and then change their namesop they will run.
Unless you are running windows on your mac, a ".exe" program cannto run. It is a windows program. So you are safe.
I find most anti-virus programs to be nearly as bad as the virus themselves. I hoep 'clean living" can keep me virus free.

Which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

Base on individual experience, which KVM switch is the best for Mac Mini

Hot-Key mode MacMini and IO Gear KVM Switch MiniView Micro USB Plus
Fusionwolf, can you help me?
I want to use my TFT monitor (HPvs19 ) with a MacMini and a Casablanca KRON PC. The monitor works good with both computers, when connecting them separately.
I've bought a KVM switch MiniView Micro USB Plus (IOGear GCS632U) connected it as written in the IOGear Installation Manual. Now I can use the monitor with my MacMini and my Mac keyboard, but I cannot switch to the PC.
In the IO Gear manual several methods to switch ports are written. But every method starts by invoking HotKey mode.
The manual reads :
"To invoke HotKey mode, do the following:
1. Press and hold down the NumLock key
2. Press and release the minus- key
3. Release the NumLock key"
and
"When HotKey mode is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate that Hotkey mode is in effect."
I've tried many times to do this pressing/releasing on my Mac keyboard. Within different time/speeds. But with no result... I CANNOT get in the HotKey mode...
What can I do? Are there other ways to get in HotKey mode with my Mac keyboard (bought with my previous iMac some 4 years ago)? Or are there other ways of switching with the IO Gear KVM Switch?
Thanks a lot in advance for an answer!

What is the best for me ? ?

Hello,
I'll buy a Mac soon and i'm confused as to macbook pro or macbook air ... i'm in college now and work with Photoshop and 3D max .. make some short movie .. So what's the best for me ?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air forums. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Which SSD is the best for Macbook pro 17''

I want to upgrade my HDD in my mac (i have the 750Gb 5400rpm from the factory) with a new SSD.
I ask if someone knows which ssd is best for my mac (17'' early 2011 2.3ghz).

I only use my mac for my job ( i am a tv-film director and i use it to edit)
Will i see any diferents (i work with FinalCut-Premiere-AfterEffect) if i install ssd for what i do or it will be a waste of money?
Thanks a lot!

External drives... whats the best for video.... ?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out what the best bang for the buck is in regards to external drives, and what works best for video.
I have considered the LaCie enclosures, I have also considered buying a 500 GB SATA to replace the 200 GB second drive I have inside the G5. The issue than is what enclosure works the best with a MAC and is 1394 and will the firm ware support huge video files, for render or exporting?
Can anyone give some advice based on what they have learned through past experience.
Thanks

I've been using LaCie FW (800 & 400) drives for about three years now with only one problem - One of the first drives I bought (I think it was a 120 GB) fried itself a few months ago. I currently have 80GB, 120 GB, 400GB and 500 GB drives, all working fine, never have dropped frames. The LaCie drives are pretty tough too, as I've sent most of them back and forth across the country at least a few times with no problems.
However, be careful if you update the firmware for them - make sure the drive is clean as the firmware update can cause corruption of data on the drive (I found that out the hard way!). Also keep in mind that they do put off a fair amount of heat (especially the big ones) so I wouldn't consider stacking them on top of each other horizontally.
