It's possible it has a grounding problem because my iBook clamshell did not have the ground wire screwed into the metal shield and I could not get a charge or use the power adapter…

The iBook G4 may have been (relatively) free of the bad GPU issue, but it still had a fairly common issue: cracked solder joints, typically in the power section. There are some web…

I've got an iBook G4 (different iBook than the display plagued one) that has some sort of electrical gremlin going on. It's experiencing a few odd symptoms that have pointed to a …

I don't know why I brought up an iMac G3.... : Click to expand... That's because I have an iMac G3 and an iMac G5.

I don't know about the ibook g4, but if it's similar to the g3 version, the backlight inverter gets its power through a power MOSFET switch on the logic board. If you've already sw…

I don't know why I brought up an iMac G3.... : Anyways, if your Beige G3 tower has the Apple Ultra Wide SCSI PCI card, then you need to apply this firmware upgrade: http://docs…

If you just want to install the applications from the iMac G5 system disc unto the iMac G3, give Pacifist a try (the link is in my previous post). If you're trying to install Tiger…

I've got an iBook G4 that has a display problem that has me completely stumped. When turned on, it chimes and all is well, but then the screen flickers almost like a lightbulb doe…

If the iMac G3 has FireWire you can install tiger from the G5.

I managed to get ahold of a Panther disk (thanks to one of my pals). When I inset it everything is okay, but when I hit "Restart" so the installation can begin, it give me a messag…

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4182/is_19990907/ai_n10131702 Was the Powermac G4 a super computer? It depends whose definition you use.

If you just want the apps, use Pacifist. I've done this with older OS X 10.2 OEM discs in order to get AppleWorks to convert a document from .wrk to .doc and I was able to extract…

I forgot to mention that the G3 has a DVD reader Drive thingamabob.

Wait a minute.... Get XPostFacto and try the disk or if you just want toe apps find the terminal command to enable hidden files and look through the packages you want installed.

Unfortunately, the disk is exclusively for the iMac G5. All grey-colored Apple install discs are. You'll need a reatail 10.2 or 10.3 disc to install onto the beige G3. 10.3 will ne…

Our iMac G5 came with software disks, as all Macintosh computers. I took the "Mac OS X Install Disk 1" disk and I put it into the G5 (which now runs 10.5.3). Inside I saw the Insta…

I may be able to obtain a logic board from a 600 MHz G3 iMac cheaply. Can this be put into my 400 MHz iMac? If so, what (if any) modifications are necessary to do so? Thanks.

I'd go with a firmware update. Its unlikely that OS X would have anything to do with it - despite the fact that I primarily run my iMac under Mac OS X, it will quite happily boot o…

Sonnet works (for instance, the 500 MHz Encore) from 8.1 to 10.4 with XPostFacto. Click to expand... But this is for the beige, right?

You might be able to instal directly in Open Firmware.

I don't know. Maybe some game would conflict with it's drivers, which will also slow the whole system down. I heard that it would also restric mac os versions I can use. I need ful…
