There may be other scsi cards out there, but IIRC, they are all fairly expensive.....probably more than your whole computer is worth. And, except for a few diehard pro uses, scs…

I assume this is the new connection type that won't accept my older pin-type internal drives inside my older G4 Powermac? Is this the right connection type if I get this HD?: Se…

7-pin Serial ATA? CDW has the 400 Gig Barracuda Seagate for $320.

Thanks Cat, are they reliable? have you ordered from them before?

I'd stick with Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148063 Yes, sata data cables are 7pin.

The power light still come son and will even put the computer to sleep. Must be just a blown backlight. I'm going to take it in to get it checked out, but anyone know approx what…

If you shine a bright light at the display while it's on, do you see a dim image? If no, then the panel or other component (e.g signal processor) has died. If yes: did all the ba…

Thanks Tooki, I'll check that out (need to hook it back up)

Well I should add the following having done many of these repairs. the 1/2 brightness question is because you have 2 bulbs one on the top one on the bottom. both bulbs don't die a…

Yup. I said all of that in my response. tooki

When my cinema display died a few years back (rev 1 dvi ) the picture came back when I unplugged the usb. been using it ever since without the usb. looked into getting it fixed but…

Hi all, I bought an XLR microphone from Shure and an XLR to mini-jack cable. I turn the microphone and plug it into my computer. I open System Preferences>Sound and select Li…

Do a search -- this is a super-common question that gets asked -- and answered -- frequently. But simply, a mike won't work on a line-in. Mikes go into mike inputs, which are diff…

As Tooki said, you cannot drive a line in with a microphone. Furthermore, what kind of XLR to minijack adapter did you buy? If it doesn't have a transformer in it, it's not likely …

Something like the Griffin iMic will solve this problem?

The iMic might help, since it does have a preamp in it, but the main purpose of the iMic is to provide an audio input to Macs that don't have one (like my Quicksilver). An XLR mic…

i'm trying to decide between a 15" G4 powerbook or a 17" G5 iMac but the issue is space. i live in a tiny apartment and my desk is only 38cm deep! the powerbook would fit nicely …

The footprint of the iMac G5 17-inch is tiny, MUCH smaller than the footprint of the PowerBook 15-inch. The entire computer is suspended on a stand whose foot is about 7 square inc…

yeah, the imac is quite narrow, not to mention if space is really that tight you can get a wall mounting kit

I recently switched from a 12-inch PowerBook to a 17-inch iMac. As tiny as the PowerBook was, the iMac takes up significantly less space when I'm not using it. Like I said before, …

thanks for the info. i understand it will definitely fit snugly with the keyboard under the stand, but when i use it, i'll have the keyboard positioned infront of the stand, so wi…

I currently am using my iMac G5, with the keyboard laid out in front, and the depth of the computer setup from the edge of my keyboard to the back of the stand, takes no more than …
