I checked...it's not a recall battery....therefore, that can't be it... any other ideas anyone?

It sounds like a dead cell possibly, or the chip board for the batteries is messed up, check to see if it follows under the recall program. https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbo…

PS: Can G5's boot into OS9? Not run classic in OSX, but reboot with OS9 system folder? Click to expand... Yeah, what Christopher said, No. That's because G5 is a 64-bit process…

Hey everyone! Lately I've been having some issues with my iBook's battery. When I open an application that tells me its health and its current status, it says it has 86% health (3…

Does any newton program have this? I'd really like to term into my work server, but the guys in the upper echelon many years ago decided to use the WYSE standard for terminal. I do…

Not even all the G4's could boot into OS9 directly, you just had classic support under OSX. Click to expand... I think the last gen MDD were the non OS 9.

Have you tried removing the SATA card and just using the IDE drive?

They are rare, but certainly have all the same advantages today as they had back when they were originally introduced. I would say, since you have a Mac which can accommodate one,…

The Apple II power-supply is fairly "intelligent". If it detects a no-load situation (that is, nothing is taking the electricity), it will short-circuit itself indefinitely. This w…

Have you tried taking out all drives except for the optical, and then giving it a go? That way it would force it to boot off the disc, or not at all. Sometimes my b&w G3 w…

This thread gives details of the cells needed to replace your backup battery. They are common and cheap, I found that the soldering was not especially difficult, and the replacemen…

I have a solo 867Mhz 2001 Quicksilver (2001 with an 867Mhz CPU) with the following specs below: 867Mhz 7450 PPC G4 1.5GB PC-133 RAM (all apple certified, known working in a sawto…

Thanks for the replies. I am interested in keeping up with Apple technologies but want to resort to the used market. I thought the G5's were a robust machine at a steal these days,…

If you're really on a budget I think a G5 can be a good buy still. From the sounds of your post though, 10.5/10.6 compatibility seems like a big deal and PCI/hard disk expandabilit…

I saw go with the Intel Mac. As mentioned by others, the G5 Macs do have reliability problems. The iMac G5s were all affected by the capacitor plague, despite Apple's repair exte…

Does anyone have a copy of this i could have? I would like to install 8.6.

For me, I would say Intel all the way. G5s seem to have a number of reliability issues - from faulty PSUs to liquid cooling systems leaking - if you Google around, you can see ima…

The only thing stopping me from selling my MacBook Pro and getting a quad G5 is the risk of not being able to run 10.6 when it comes out. I would much rather have a tower than lap…

G5's (towers) seem to be very pricey still. I think you are better off with an Intel if you plan on using it as your main machine for a few years.
