    Any idea how to get my powermac online?

    I recently put an airport extreme card into my G5 Powermac dual 2g. Problem is, I can't install the little T-shaped antenna on the back of the mac since the port for it doesn't actually line up with the card inside the computer (bought it used). At any rate, I'm looking for a way to perhaps hook...

    How do I use my powerbook as a "hard drive" for my powermac?

    I used to know how to do this. Hold down the F7 key while booting up the powerbook? Something like that? Just want to drag some files from the laptop onto the powermac. Thanks.

    Powermac doesn't seem to recognize a new internal hard drive

    I have a 2005 G5 powermac dual 2g with a 160g internal hard drive. I just installed a Seagate SATA 500g internal as well but the computer doesn't seem to recognize it. When I power up I get an initial message saying something like "You have inserted a disk that contains no volumes that Mac OSX...
