Team MacNN has several different flavors of optimized BOINC Manager, depending on whether you have a G3, G4, or G5, and 10.4.x or 10.3.9. The web site is here for the optimized BO…

I need some help on this. I've switched from CLI to Boinc manager. However the Boinc manager is not sending the completed work units. I switched because, the prior CLI stopped sen…

for some reason, i can connect to my phone from my computer, but not the other way around. when my phone is searching for my g5, it's not recognizing it. what could i be missing…

which version of OS X needs the OS 9.2.2 thing? beacuse i wanted to install panther on my iMac G3 and i didn't know which one needed it thanks

No version of OSX needs OS 9.2.2. You boot off of the OSX install CD and then depending on your needs you select a type of install, e.g., clean, upgrade, archive and install, etc.…

Yeah, OS X doesn't need OS 9. You need to have OS 9 installed to run Classic (which allows you to run old OS 9 apps), but OS X works just fine on its own.

Don't title your thread "stupid question." Just ask the question.

Out of nowhere I no longer have sound in any browser on my mac. I have a powerbook g4 with the most recent version of OS X. Quicktime in the browser seems to work, it is all other …

Often times this can be fixed by launching GarageBand.

That did it. Amazing. I have looked everywhere on google for an answer to this. Thank you so much.

I fixed it by opening Audio MIDI Setup (in Applications/Utilities) and choosing Audio Output Format @ 44100.0 Hz & 2ch-16bit.

does anyone know if the new final cut universal version that's about to come out will work with the older g5 macs? or do i have to have a brand new intel based mac? i'm assuming …

Yes, it will work on G5 Macs (and probably G4s too).

This is why they're called "universal" binaries.

Universal Binary means by definition that you can use the application on PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs at the same time.

I'm getting a G3 iBook 900 with the RAM maxed (640MB). I'll mostly be using it for school, but there are some other apps I'd really like to run. Can anyone let me know if these s…

You can put a SuperDrive in it. http://www.mcetech.com/ibg3dvdr8dl.html It will run Tiger without any issues and Quake 3 should be ok since it has a 32MB video card. The other …

Congrats on the new iBook! You'll love it You can definitely put Tiger on it. I had Tiger on a 500 MHz G3 iBook and it ran fine. If you don't like memory-heavy things like Dashb…

Another quick question. My girlfriend has a brand new iBook G4 which came with Tiger installed. Can I user her boot disks to put Tiger on my iBook G3?

Although I've never actually tried, I think you are able to...you should be able to pop in the DVD and upgrade Panther to Tiger if that's what you want to do.
