Hi I need a 2nd opinion. I just tried booting up my Dual 2.7ghz G5, the fans span a little but all I get is the power light flashing twice every 3 seconds. I had a quick look over the net but all I get really work out is that it may be a problem with the PSU. Any ideas?........

Hi I have a JVC Everio HDD camera. I want to connect it to final cut pro but can't seem to make this happen! All I have is a USB2 cable to connect it to my G5 with. Can anyone help or give advice how I can connect it to my G5 so FCP sees the camera. Thanks

I'v had a problem with a couple of G5's not fully booting. It goes through the process and gets to the finder window but only the spotlight symbol appears in the top right hand corner of the screen. When you run the curser over the top toolbar the spinning globe appears. The machine boots not...

Hi I have recently attempted to upgrade the memory in my mac mini 1.25ghz to its maximum capacity of 1gig. I've ordered the correct ram, pretty sure of that. I got it installed but when booting I get a loud beep indicating that the machine does not recognise the ram. Has anyone had any...

well I do actually have another one in a machine that I no longer use. So I could let that go....seems a waste to keep it there collecting dust.

Yeah its a pretty sweet feature! Anyhow, getting back to the subject!!! I ran an Apple hardware test on the powerbook, it wouldn't go past the logic board test and failed with the following error: 2 fan/4/1 : rear left exhaust. I'm sending it back to Apple for a warranty repair anyway but...

Hi all, I'm having a problem with a powerbook G4 1.67ghz/1gig ram/17". The powerbooks keeps kernal panicking, it could happen at any! I have rebuilt the machine and replaced the ram. Another problem that I have realised is that on the odd occasion when it does crash, when I reboot it just...
