    Nonstarting G4

    Well, I just hooked up the G3 and everything works fine. My next step is to transfer the drive from the G4 to the G3, back up to the external FW drive, reinstall the drive back into the G4 then take it in to the shop for repair. BTW, should I try another reset of the PMU to see if that would fix...

    Nonstarting G4

    Everything else connected via the UPS works - my ethernet dsl modem, router, etc. I'm going to hook up a B&W G3 that I have here to the setup and see if that works. If it checks out, then my next step would be to transfer the drive in the G4 to the G3 so I can access my stuff. I have a backup on...

    Nonstarting G4

    Hi, BobW. Found the PMU switch, depressed it, carried the computer back to where it was connected (took about 10 seconds), Plugged in the power cord, depressed the startup button which lit up but went back to an unlit state when I released it - no startup. Thanks for the advice. Just did not...

    Nonstarting G4

    After Hurricane Frances, my Quicksilver G4 will not start up. I have it plugged into a UPS and shut it down the day before the hurricane hit my area in Florida. I forgot, however, to switch off the UPS at the same time. I switched it off the night of September 3rd. I think the battery has been...

    external firewire dvd burning

    One way is by using Toast. Another is to create disk images and burn from the finder. iDVD will not recognize an external drive. Toast will.

    Firewire Drive

    Hey, BobW, it worked. Thanks a bunch for helping out an old geezer (in my late 60's) who may have a touch of old-timer's moments. My entire collection is now available. :D

    Firewire Drive

    I inadvertently switched off an external FW drive (before ejecting/dismounting it) which holds my iTunes library yesterday. Now the PCI card, although recognized by the System profiler, will not mount any FW device plugged into it. Seems as if it is hosed. The FW drive will also not mount. It is...

    can apple read dvd+r

    I believe that support for DVD+R/RW is built into Panther. All my discs read fine (+ & -) without any problems whatsoever where previously I had difficulties with Jaguar. Hope this helps.

    Logging in from Root

    tHANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I did not think of the obvious. Your help is greatly appreciated. I am now up and running in Standard mode. That teaches an old geezer like me never to mess around with my system when it is running so well. :D

    Logging in from Root

    I am now trying to start up from the Panther install disc using the "Option" key on reboot. The machine again boots in "verbose?" mode and again tells me that the "root device is mounted read-only". Stuck again. :rolleyes:

    Logging in from Root

    Help. After setting up my machine in Cocktail for "Single User", My machine will not boot to the OSX interface. It has taken me to the root directory and I cannot log in from there. Instead, it is asking me to run "/sbin/fsck -y" and then "/sbin/mount -uw". Since the disk is journaled, fsck will...

    Panther, the Garfield among the OSX versions?

    I used Monolingual to remove all language files except English and it worked fine for me. Strange that it did not work for you.

    Itunes 4.1....

    Have all the songs been selected (with a tick in the checkbox to the left of each song)? This happened to me once when I inadvertently deselected my entire library. If they are, you have to select them all for iTunes to play them all. Hope this helps.

    Linksys Router

    I spent about 2 hours doing that. I even got the lights flashing - but no go on the internet. Something I should have mentioned - my ISP (Bellsouth) did some maintenance/upgrades and required me to add "@bellsouth.net" to my user name. I did that this morning and that is when I started to have...

    Linksys Router

    I am having some problems with my Linksys BEFSR41 4 port router. It appears to have died this morning. I have been able to connect my DSL line directly to my Mac and it is working fine. When connected through the Linksys, I cannot connect connect to the web. It worked fine up until last night...

    Value of QS 867mhz

    This may not be the correct forum, but does anyone know of any site(s) that give values for Macs? I have a QS 867 mhz with 896 megs ram that I intend to sell in order to purchase a G5. I need some idea as to how much I can get for it. Any pointers would be appreciated.;)

    U.S and sales tax?

    Sales Tax here in Florida is 6%. However, I buy all my stuff online and sometimes pay no shipping, and when I do pay shipping (on bigger ticket items) it is usually less than the sales tax. Hope this helps.
