Doesn't look home-brew to me... my guess would be that they used the same back panel for both the SCSI version (as pictured) and the Smart Port version for the IIc. The IIc version…

This QC10 on ebay appears to be an upgraded, retorfit floppy disk model. Anybody know if Quark sold them this way? with all the holes in the box it sure seems like a home-brew job…

In the hacks section of applefritter there is a guy who put an iMac into a 21" monitor. I had forgotten all about it untill this thread!

Fabulous. I have a mac display to VGA adapter sitting here as we speak. So I could use a standard display.

The only thing is, if you're using an old Apple display, the monitor must be a multisync monitor, ie: a Multiple Scan or AppleVision Display. If you're using a third party SVGA mo…

Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that. Click to expand... Yes you can. The port is the old …

If it's spitting out factory-pressed DVDs (I'm taking your "all DVDs" literally), then your drive is likely toast. Dual-laser drives use an IR laser for CDs, and a red one for DVDs…

Just recently, my iBook G4 spits out all DVD's without even reading them. CD's work just fine, and it's a Combo drive, so why would it be doing this? If I put the exact same DVD in…

Lucky, you got the cool iMac where it was user serviceable. Click to expand... Yup, mine's the same revision model. I was a bit bummed to find out only weeks after I purchased…

Some simple stuff you can try... When you run the disk repair and verification stuff within disk utilities while booted off the OS X install media, does it catch and repair anythi…

Complete specs: 1.8 Ghz PPC G5, 512 MB RAM, 80 gig HD. I've done nothing to it since buying it, except for the guy at the apple store who inserted the extra 256 stick of RAM. @ Qu…

Make sure that it's nothing to do with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2390 I've already sent in my iMac G5 twice early this year and so far it's running OK. Mine wasn't eve…

I bet your HD is going... FAST... I would go get a replacement. If your iMac doesn't have an iSight it's easy to replace it. If it has an iSight, use my guide...

Some more info would be nice; complete specs, what you've done to it since/before it came slow, etc.

Hey guys. Lately, my iMac has been painstakingly slowwwwwwww (at start up, with basic functions, and online. I guess it's lack of RAM, but I'm not so sure. What do you guys think i…

Now I can't save as QT movie and then try to open it like you did because the QT plugin under all three browsers asks me to pay for QT Pro upgrade, but I did try all three browsers…

Wow, you're having the exact opposite issue from what I'm having; bloody QuickTime, make up your mind what you want to break

I'm thinking the problem is Quicktime plugin being stupid under Safari... My Pismo 10.3.9 400 MHz PowerPC G3 256 MB SDRAM Trying to play your movie on your problem, by viewing…

Whee, I made a video of exactly what's going on here: http://augusf.dyndns.org/public/qtissue.mov If anybody has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them; it's really rather annoying…

Thanks for the reply, sircabulon. I think you're right - the card is toast. I tried it again in the 66MHz slot, and this time I got some video, but it was the same corrupted video…

Excellent! I will only be using low density RAM - Thanks!

The 66 mhz slot should not effect it. If the card can fit into the slot normally, then it is rated for that speed. Are there any broken or loose solders on the VGA connector? I …
