  • Purchasing a new Boot drive  for Power PC Mac dual G5 2.7 GHz ( early 2005)

    As I’ve mentioned I have Power MAC Dual G5 2,7 GHz( early 2005)
    I’m doing “ erase and install” on my boot drive Caviar and starting from the scratch - Basically doing whole new setup with my music apps,sample libraries and back up.
    To describe it little better - My plan is to move Caviar to second slot ( mostly will be used for I-tunes,documents,photos and maybe some back up) and purchase new boot drive.
    All my audio and music samples I’m running from 4 bay ( sata ) exterior hot swap enclosure with Lycom card so my boot drive will be clearly for OS X and applications.
    Now - I’ve gone through a big research and even though I have not really make up my mind about my purchase - here is what I’ve found out so far.
    As a boot drive I’ve been considering following ( I’m adding my comments as well)
    1) My first pick was Hitachi T7K500 320GB SATA II HD 16MB Cache -
    seemed to me like a very good choice for a boot drive since it has a great random access .But after reading review in “ AMUG reviews “ Using a Hitachi T7K500 320GB with a Mac Pro I was not that sure .Apparently They don’t recommend Hitachi T7K500 for internal Mac Pro usage since it is slower without using SATA host adapter. But that is Mac Pro - I have Dual processor so it might be different?
    Second choice was
    2) Maxtor MaXLine III 500GB or Maxtor MaXLine Pro 500 GB
    here I’m not sure -some guys don’t really recommend this brand but in bunch of online reviews I’ve read it was mentioned as a very good choice for a boot drive .
    I’ve been told that this drive is too noisy and too cheap which I think is not a bad thing though.
    And finally
    3) Raptor 74 GB or 150 GB
    Everyone knows those drives are fast
    Downside is that size is not very big ( just my OS X will be around 50 GB)
    plus 150 Gig won’t work natively on my G5 without host card which would be another extra expense .
    Maybe one more thing to add - I have not consider neither seagate drives (since random access speed is not that great) nor pairing any of those previously mentioned drives into raid 0 configuration .
    So basically that is my selection.I’m trying to pick up drive which would work natively without PCI - X card and would be reliable and fast.( Only if I would have no choice - Than I would probably buy a host card )
    Also I’m not sure whether for example in the case of hitachi ( or even other brands ) would be smarter to go with bigger size - maybe 400 or 500 GB for a boot since all drives getting slower as they get filled up.
    I would really appreciate if anyone can give me a feedback as far as what drive would be the best choice in my case.
    Thank you very much for your time
    Milan

    OK - I'll try that one more time - second choice is Maxtor Maxline III 500 GB or maxtor maxline Pro 500 GB.

  • I have all kinds of software and manual for Power PC Macs

    I have tons of manuals, software and old 3.5 disks that worked on the older Power PC's like eMacs Performa and iMacs if anyone has a use for them.

    I haven't a clue how to use 'emulators' like sheep shaver. I don't even know if they work.
    SheepShaver (which will run Mac OS 9.02 in Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion) requires a Classic ROM and quite a bit of setup, but there is now a fully contained version, Chubby Bunny, available: Google the term "Classic-On-Intel v 4.0.1 chubby bunny"

  • Logic 7.2.2 and G5 and other Power PC Macs??

    I think Logic users would like (and deserve) a clear statement from Apple regarding whether Logic 7.2.2 is recommended for Power PC Macs or not - -and what improvements or bug fixes - if any - it contains that are relevant to PowerPC machines. In the meantime, I suggest that forum participants with G4 or G5 Macs who have installed Logic 7.2.2 describe their experiences with this update. Thanks

    been testing on an intel mini mac (single core + 512ram) with motu 828 mk2.
    i know its not exactly a daw machine, but i'm testing things out before i upgrade to a new intel machine...
    so far i have had 2 crashes where i cant force quit. well i can but it dont do nothin'... first time i pressed restart in finder and computer froze during the procedure. second time i thought i'll try something different, so i pressed shut down in finder and it worked!
    the crash itself is strange cos i dont have time to do anything other than to click on file menu to load a track and glitch > spinning beach ball.
    i might try trashing the prefs later...
    other than that i have not really noticed much else. dunno about it sounding punchier/more bass, how come PDC would affect this?
    something to do with phase maybe...

  • Best WMA to MP3 batch converter for MacBook Pro

    Half of the music that I've collected over the years, and now transferred onto my new MacBook Pro, is in the WMA format.
    I am looking for a program that can batch convert ALL of these files to MP3, putting the MP3s in the same folders as the WMA files currently are, and then I will delete the WMA files.
    Is there any program that can help me with this? At the moment I can only listen to half of my songs in iTunes!
    Many thanks

    EasyWMA is a popular one for the Mac.  Switch can also do it.
    Or, if you happen to have access to a PC, iTunes for Windows can convert WMA to MP3, after which you can bring the MP3 files to your Mac on a flash drive..
    then I will delete the WMA files.
    It's about time. 
    Steve - one additional note:  Make sure your files are normal unprotected WMA files, since protected WMA cannot be converted.  Protected WMAs could have happened if you ever ripped a CD using the default settings of Windows Media Player, or if you ever bought tracks from one of the many (now-defunct) online stores that sold songs in protected WMA format.

  • How would i be able to convert music files, like wma to mp3 on my mac

    how would i be able to convert music files, like wma to mp3 on my mac

    If the music was just purchased on the iPod from iTunes Store, then sync with iTunes. You will be prompted to transfer purchased items to iTunes. You can also re-download prior purchases directly in iTunes: Download past purchases.
    Otherwise, you will need a third-party utility for the chore such as Pod To Mac or Pod To PC.

  • Mp3 Coverter for MAC

    Hi Guys..
    Jus wondering wats the gud mp3 convertor software for MBP which converts to/from various music formats such as cda, wmv etc etc.
    Any suggestions will b appreciated..
    Kind Regards
    Singh

    This pertains to your etc. etc. and not to wma. Ecamm (the guys who make iGlasses and Conference Recorder) have a converter that does the job (well, it sends it to iTunes and back). But it is just a drag-and-drop deal.
    And it is free. It comes with Conference Recorder, but I believe they also give away just the converters for free (not certain 100% about the free part).

    PPC, also known as PowerPC has not existed on Macs since the beginning of 2006.  Apple made a bridge software and included it with Mac OSes until 10.6.8 known as Rosetta that would allow you to run software written for the PowerPC Macs.  10.7 and later can't run that bridge software.  You have one of several options:
    Install 10.6 retail on a USB Flash drive, and run that application while booted from there.
    Find an update designed for 10.7 or later of the software. 
    Find a combination of Virtualbox or Paralllels that can legally run a version of 10.6 side by side with your 10.7 software.
    Run Windows on your Mac with Virtualbox or use CrossOver that requires no Windows to run a Windows version of your application.
    Your Mac is an iMac Intel.   I will ask a moderator redirect your thread to the 10.7 forum, and no action is needed on your part.

  • Need new low-end graphics card for Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970)

    My Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970) has recently died I believe due to a bad
    ATI RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION video card.
    Reason for thinking its the card, is that the machine was performing its intended tasks for several days even though the monitor was snow.
    Having trouble determining a low-end replacement. (I no longer need the enhanced features of the RADEON X800 for this machine.
    Much appreciated if someone could suggest a product appropriate for PowerPC 970.
    Thanks!

    I also ran into this issue with my dual G5. When I bought it, I didn't get wireless because it was a dedicated desktop on the network, but I'm upgrading and giving it to the kids to use in a room without wired network. Now that wireless would be really nice and it looks like the official solution is:
    "Apple Wireless Upgrade Kit for Power Mac G5 Dual or Power Mac G5 Quad MA252G/A"
    which is really expensive and difficult to install. But the weird thing is that I do have bluetooth. I wonder if there's just some little doodad I need to connect to get wireless going too, but I can't find any info on the card, and it looks like it's buried on the motherboard behind all the cooling stuff. I'll probably just spring for one of the USB solutions.

  • Non-ipod mp3 player for Mac?

    Hey everyone,
    I was just seeing if any of you guys had suggestions about getting a mp3 player for my Mac. I'm looking to get one about 4GB or so, and was wondering what ones are compliant for Mac?
    Thanks in advance!

    The iPod nano comes to mind. I doubt many if any others will mount unless they just mount as a USB 2.0 drive and you can drag files to them independent of a program to do that. Read the O/S required specs before you buy, but I bet they are all around the same price point, the nano works with mac/iTunes, why bother?

  • 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:
