I want to be able to play the videos from a camcorder, but the only software that can play it is for Mac OS 10! Click to expand... Wasn't an older version of iMovie available f…

You can't use a mini VGA --> VGA adapter as this results in washed out colours. Click to expand... Just get a loop through of some sort, that usually stabilizes the vide…

Remember the pinouts posted on bodnar's site are for a completely different model - the ATI-based eMac 800Mhz+. The nVidia-based eMac 700/800Mhz models are different beasts comple…

I definitely find Tiger better - better Web browsing, faster, better functionality, and more up-to-date security updates and the like. If you have less than 384MB RAM, or a CPU sl…

Bump the RAM to at least 512 megs and pop tiger on 'em. I run Tiger on my G3/500/512 PowerBook, and it's extremely zippy

do what everybody else is doing. Make your own G5 tower case!

I really do want to go for a case that looks... good. :lol: So there's no chance it'll be a classic Mac case. Besides, if I found a 610/660/6100 case I have a 6100 board that nee…

I had, until recently, near 'nuff identical (8/2001 and 3/2002) Indigo iMac/500s, with 768 and 1024MB of RAM, side-by-side on my desk and running 10.3.9/9.2.2 and 10.4.11/9.2.2 on …

Would it fit in an LC case? Click to expand... The board is probably about the same size as a Macintosh LC board, but there is nowhere near enough room in there for an optical …

Just for the sake of disagreement, I've found Tiger much better than Panther on my iMacs/iBook (even with a meagre 512 MB). Aside from being a lot more stable (in my experience) th…

I have a G3 B&W sitting in the basement (don't we all). Click to expand... I have a Gigabit Ethernet G4 in the basement, BEAT THAT! ;D

Hi everyone, I'm posting from my iMac G3! I'm currently running Mac OS 9.2 on it, but since I'm running it, I can only download software compatible for it. I want to be able to pl…

hey're marked as "L" on the circuit board, so I assume that's what they are). How often do those things go bad? Do they hiss/whistle? Click to expand... Inductors and transform…

Slimline case, and eMacquarium!

An IrDA port is just a serial port, I think, so it should be trivial to programme. The bondi iMac I took apart certainly had its IrDA ports connected to a standard mini-DIN serial …

For the slimline case: Pros: *Custom goodness for you to have your way with. *Small form *Easily transportable *Not super heavy *Cooler running Cons: *No more integral disp…

Hack it into a slimline case. The CRT is dodgy and you've already damaged the Airport slot, so use it as an opportunity to build something different. And treat it as a learning exe…

If anyone can recall one of my recent liberations, 2x 700mhz eMac G4's, you will also remember that one of them runs beautifully. The other one does not. The display has a flicker …

1.42ghz eMacs? Not a bad spec at all, my friend. 133mhz frontside bus with DDR memory and a 1.42ghz G4 is by no means a slouch of a system. The eMac that does boot could just need…

I was playing around with the Emac that did boot and the video came on. It boots to the loading screen and stays there. The apple screen with the spinning pinwheel. Left it runn…

See if you can get one working unit. From there see if the problems are related to one specific component. The G3 iMacs commonly bad flyback transformers which would allow the comp…

Reseat your RAM. My iBook wouldn't boot because its ram stick somehow came loose. Usually when RAM is in halfway it will blink the sleep light.
