I will be buying a new imac, probably a 2012 or 13 so spec will be better for browsing and email I just want them to function better and I could run Catalina on a later imac. Currently on my power mac running Lion Firefox Legacy (68.12) is the most current browser I can use and I now am getting...

Whaaat!

This is probably a simple answer but I’m going to ask it anyway. My mac pro 2.1 10.7.5 runs well with all the old apps I still use with the exception of browsing and email software where it’s light years out-of-date and is just not fit for purpose anymore. My question is can I run it through a...

silly question, all info available on google!

I have just acquired an Imac 9.1. It comes with Leopard 10.5 installed. From research I believe this Imac can run El Capitan as a max. I have been trying to update system by system till I reach El Capitan with no luck, in fact I can’t even get started. Snow leopard, for which I have Imac...

Unfortunately that wont run all my old software A 250gb ssd will cost £35.00 plus the cost of the system, thanks for your input though

Well yes I have but I’m open to recommendations, if you know something that’ll do the job. I think you’ll find the same or similar limitations, I don’t think it’s specifically browser related I believe it’s just due to the fact the OSX Lion is now extremely old and can’t run anything near a...

Hello again to all, I am currently running 10.7.5 on my mac pro 2.1 (it may have been updated from a 1.1 - not sure). I am very happy with everything, I have all the software I want and probably need, certainly for a while and it’s fast enough for my needs My problem is web browsing, meaning...

still wont go, although did get options to add tasks to window header which I wasn’t aware of. Aaahh if I drag the default toolbar it goes, thanks for your help

Nothing if i don’t click, But if I click I get The item can’t be found. Maybe it was always there, but I never noticed it. I’ll have a look on the Imac later. Have looked and just a blank artistic space but no question mark

Any ideas why this question mark is appearing central on each window I open, since re-installation, see image Also had to re-install some Epson software which I had retained in Downloads, is this normal?

Tell me about processor paste, I wasn’t aware of its existence till recently ... gunge in a computer! and it’s 18 years old

Good Morning, All is well, I think the fat lady has sung her last, for the time being anyway. I purchased a OWC Mercury 3G, 250Gb capacity SSDrive along with an adaptor sled, both online. The disc arrived yesterday and without waiting for the adaptor (which still hasn’t arrived), I fitted it...

Thanks DeltaMac, just a few more questions. I intend to get a new hard disk, don’t need a huge capacity, and I think (without looking at costs) I’ll go for an SSD. SSD means Solid State Disc I presume which has no moving parts and therefore should have greater longevity ... am I correct? Do you...

So are we saying the actual disc is ok but the partition with the system/software and various files is corrupt/needs repairing whatever? Still don’t quite get it, firstly I don’t recognise any of the operations executions on the verification of the disc, previous image (or is it that partition?)...

Some sort of progress is being made at last. I replaced the fitted video card, a nVIDIA QUADRO FX 4600 with the stock 7300 GT. Started from the button, got a screen almost immediately, a grey screen with an apple and a progress bar unlike I've seen before, the machine shut down as original...

I can hear her in the distance, with a paper bag over her head, maybe someone will suffocate her!

Right, i‘ll maybe try this tomorrow, think I only have a basic usb to usb cable but this should work I hope? Yes, when I picked up/purchased the mac pro there was, what I assume the original video card a nVIDIA P345 (GeForce 7300 GT), with some old RAM. I’m going to see what the replacement...

I can not get anything on the screen, no video, optical is bust and can’t boot from a stick so any fix involving the screen is a no go

No I haven’t but it’s an avenue I’ll maybe try, currently there is only one. I don’t suppose the one from my G5 ppc would be compatible? Thing is I’m now into the realms of buying something, which is fine if i’m sure that it’s the failed bit of hardware that i’m buying and evaluating the costs...
