Yeah I read the instructions very carefully about not pushing the button more than once.
I'll get myself one of those PRAM batteries then. It's most likely to be the problem, as i've had this Mac for more than five years and it's never needed to be changed before, but nothing lasts forever...
Hi
I have a PowerPC G4 desktop superdrive with a 1.42 ghz proccessor.
I was having some start up problems so I tried reseting the PMU button and it worked.
The problem is, i'm having to do this around three times a week, which indicates to me that there must be an underlying problem...
Hi & thanks,
I have 1gb of ram installed
Interesting digedesign link.
That explains quite a bit.
I had hoped to get another year out of my current G4 & then upgrade to a G5 Intel Mac beastie (funds allowing) once all the inevitable compatability issues are ironed out.
This is the problem...
Hi & thanks to you all for the info.
A dialogue box in pro tools told me that I was running out of CPU power & that I must assign more to the application.
I never perform other tasks while I'm working in Pro Tools that is why I found this message so strange.
I mean OK my MAC is a couple...
Hi,
thanks for getting back.
I'm afraid some of what you said is lost on me. Could you please tell me what you mean by a "Terminal Window" & a "Pre-emptive Kernal".
How do I open a "Terminal Window"?
I'm unfamiliar with these terms.
Thanks again, James.
Hi
I have a G4 1.42Ghz dual processor desktop powermac running OSX 10.4.7.
The only really CPU hungry thing I use it for is to make music using Pro Tools LE 7.
Recently I have recieved a few messages telling me that I am running out of CPU power & I should assign more CPU power to Pro Tools...
