PowerPC :: PowerBook Screen Has Too Much Play
Sep 5, 2006I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1.5GHz. As far as I can remember, the screen had almost no "play" when I bought it and now has about 1.25in of "play" when you adjust the screen angle. A guy in my dorms has one and it adjusts very smoothly. Lets say I'm closing the screen to put it to sleep, the screen will come forward for about an inch before there is any resistance from the hinges. What should I do? I bought apple care so I'm guessing that might come in to play. Is this something I can fix or do I just take it to an Apple store?

Nov 15, 2006I am leaving for a week long trip and many parts of it will not be able to run the computer off of the powercord, which is a problem because I get about 40mins of wordprocessing use out of it when I run the battery alone. Can someone explain what the significance of these levels are for my Powerbook G4 15'' (Alm) 1.25GHz, namely the cycle count and full charge/remaining capacity?

PowerPC :: Macbook Or Powerbook - Which Is Best
Jul 31, 2006I am kind of new to the MAC world... I once had the really old ibook with the handle a long time ago..and I never got a new Mac due to some problems I faced!
But now, I want to go back to MAC because many things were developed and I missed using a Mac! So, now I am confused between the Powerbook12 inch or the White Macbook 2Ghz ? I really love the size of the Macbook but I am worried about the intel processor...?
MacBook Pro :: Powerbook 13 Cannot Boot Up
May 9, 2012My Power book will not boot up. Upon powerup up I get the usual "bong" sound and then after several seconds I get a large icon in the shape of a gray folder blinking on and off with a white queston mark inserted in the folder. I have run the hardware test on the applications install disc and it checks out OK with the advsnced test. I have tried to reboot using the OSX Install DVD but it will not boot holding down "C" when starting up. When I try to reinstall OS X it stalls out because it cannot find a drive file to install in. Any ideas on what has crapped out, is it HD issue?

PowerPC :: Powerbook G4 Upgrade Or New Macbook?
Sep 27, 2007currently i'm running a powerbook g4 1.67, and its starting to slow down on me. I have tons of pics and music and i have been faced with the predicament of either upgrading the RAM or just shelling out the extra money for a new computer. I run a lot of of my music programs on there as well (ie. Reason, ProTools) So what would you do? A few Mac people have told me to just upgrade the the ram and you'll see a huge difference and i'd be happy.

Oct 26, 2007Quick question guys, I currently have a Powerbook G4 17 inch with 1.5 Ghz, 2GB of RAM and 80HD. I love it, with the full powered RAM it flies, but, I HATE ITS SIZE, i mean its not that portable. I have at home a Mac Pro so the power im looking for i have it on that machine. I wanna try and change my Powerbook before the new ones arrive because i need PORTABILITY. Is it really a big of a difference? I mean i dont need the "power" of the powerbook because i have the macpro at home. With 2 GB of RAM, will a macbook (lets say the current ones) be really faster and more efficient than my old PB G4? I like the 17 screen but i need portability so bad! what do you guys recommend?

Jun 6, 2009I have 2 laptops and 2 questions!
One is a one year old MacBook Pro (2.66 intel duo) with 200GB HD, OSX Leopard and lots of data I need to transfer to my second laptop (a Powerbook G4 PowerPC 1.67 with OSX Tiger and a 100GB) I am planning on upgrading my MacBook Pro with a 500GB and moving the 200GB to my Powerbook so my question is: If I remove the 200GB from the MacBook and install it in the Powerbook, when I turn the Powerbook on, will Leopard boot up normally with all my data available? Or will the computer ask for the HD to be formatted and will I lose all my data?
PowerPC :: Migrating From PowerBook G4 15/MacBook Pro 17?
Jan 17, 2010Finally making the transition from PPC to C2Duo
Ordered by MBP 17" 2.8GHz over the weekend, should be here on Tuesday..
A couple of concerns:
1. Keeping in view its a transition from PPC to Intel, what would you guys advise as "the best way for transferring stuff from my PB to the new MBP"?
Time Machine Backup / Drag n Drop / ???
2. Over 90% of my applications are Universal Binaries meaning the installation should work fine on the MBP.. ?? Any case studies.. I am more worried about my CS4 Apps, installed brushes, filters, preferences etc.
3. Any other tips/best practices to help in this transition will be much appreciated..

May 28, 2007I did a quick google search but I was hoping someone here would have more links or real world experience.
With CS3 now, I'm considering an upgrade from my 15" powerbook 1.67 to a macbook pro 2.33. However, I would have to keep my Adobe CS2 for probably a few months longer before I can afford the upgrade to CS3..
Would the 2.33 + 2gb RAM run the same or faster than 1.67 + 1.5gb RAM even with a non-native program like Adobe CS2?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Powerbook G4 - Switch From Apple To Another Vendor
Feb 10, 2010I didn't notice a thread like this and since it seemed like this was one of the only threads that has not popped up yet, i figured i would start one. I have a old Powerbook G4 that I love, but it is dying and I need a replacement. This thread is for the people that, out of necessity and/or practicality, might just make the switch from Apple to another vendor because:1. Why spend money on old technology when there are so many companies offering laptops with way better specs for the same if not a cheaper pricetag.2. There is no set date as to when this update will come out, speculation yes, but nothing is locked in. If you are one of these people, which computers are you considering? This is not a Apple hating thread, it is just a thread to discuss alternatives to people that cannot wait any longer.
