PowerPC :: Run Linux - Ubuntu Netbook?
Jun 11, 2010I used to have a crappy old PC a few years ago that could barely run XP soooo I put Ubuntu on it, and it ran smoothly... my crappy iMac has these specs.
333MHz
64mb of ram
6GB HDD
OS 9.1 (or 9.2... don't really know, except for the fact that it's still classic) Will it run linux? I'm currently downloading Ubuntu Netbook... will it work for my iMac? If I end up hating it will I be able to go back (with proper install CDs) and install Mac OS again?
Applications :: Share IMac Mouse / Keyboard With Win XP Netbook Possible?
May 4, 2009There are Mac to Mac and Windows to Windows apps to do this (like when you go to the left of your screen the mouse appears on the other computer and you can use it as if you were using that computer). Is there a way to do this using my iMac as the host (running OSX) and the netbook as the client (running Windows XP). It needs to be compatible with the two screens my iMac has hooked up.

OS X :: Using Mac Mini As Slave?
Aug 24, 2009Some years ago, before my actual iMac, I bought an Mac mini. This Mac mini was with my mother now. 'Was'? Yes, was. Because now she bought an MacBook Pro unibody and returned my old Mac mini.
Well, as I have nothing to do with it I started thinking on using it to help my iMac for processing.
I work with 3D, so this would be really helpful. The problem is: what I want is use the Mac mini as a real slave, and not to do an network rendering. Network rendering will require another monitor an mouse (at least).
But I'm kind of lost here, I have no experience with this kind of thing, so:
1st: I imagine I have to restore my mini and clear everything, because iMac will control it. Is this correct?
2nd: Is this possible?
3rd: Is this what Mac OS server does? If so, is there a cheaper option? I guess Mac OS Server has a lot of features I'm not going to use�
PowerPC :: Can I Use Cpu From An Old (slave) G4
Feb 28, 2010I was wondering... I have 3 old G4's, with each 1,25 GHz CPU, and each about 1 GB memory.
I'm working on an iMac 1,87 GHz, 2 GB, and Intel.
I am composing music on the iMac, wich goes without problems. But I'm also writing music for video, and sometimes I have to render some material, and adapt some things, render it again, and so on, which takes a very long time. As far as I know, the workflow can be shortened by more CPU.
So I wondered if there's anyone who knows if I can connect the iMac to the G4's, or just one of them, to have one core extra?
Or maybe just do the rendering seperately on 2 or 3 G4's, as intel en G4 may clash on the different kind of CPU?
Mac Pro :: Jumper Set To Master Or Slave?
Jan 15, 2009I just was given a G4 that is not recognizing the Hard Drive. I was able to connect a drive through fire wire to load Tiger OS, but I still can't seem to figure out why I can't see the internal hard drive on the desktop or why it didn't pop up when asked where to install the OS. There is a hard drive there and it is connected, but how do I know which is the correct connection?
By reading some other threads, I saw that someone asked if the Jumper was set to Master or Slave? If this is indeed something that this could be, how can I determine that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHardware :: How To Set Up Slave Drive Inside A Mac Pro
May 20, 2008I have what may be an odd question. I had a Seagate SATA hard drive inside of a Lacie firewire400/800/eSATA external enclosure that recently got zapped in a power surge and stopped powering up. It has a bunch of film files on it, but no operating system. I put it in one of the extra drive bays inside my Mac Pro, and I could hear the drive spinning when I turned the Mac Pro on (usually it's really quiet, but it now had the unmistakable LOUD spinning of the Seagate), so I can tell that the drive itself is not dead. BUT, the Mac Pro decided to try to boot from this drive instead of its own drive. So it wouldn't start up at all, seeing as there's no OS on the seagate drive. I know there are no master/slave settings in Mac Pros, so I'm not really sure how to go about setting up an internal drive w/o an OS on it, in a Mac. I just want to be able to copy the uncompressed video files from the seagate drive to the Mac Pro's hard drive, then remove the seagate drive

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Determining Boot And Slave Drive?
Jun 5, 2010So I just installed two drives in my PowerMac G4 MDD. Using cable select to install them, I have the boot drive installed on the middle of the ribbon between the Mobo. and the end. The slave drive is on the end of the ribbon. Now when I open Disk Utility the slave drive is first on the list on the left followed by the boot drive. I thought it should be the other way around. Also, when I option click on each drive and click on information the boot drive is tagged with disk1xxx and the slave has the drive as disk0xxx. That doesn't sound right. Does it? ALSO strangely when I FIRST set the drives up and opened Disk Utility the BOOT was first in the list and the SLAVE was underneath, but after a restart they went the other way around. Can tell me what's going on? or anything to worry about? I will be doing frequent backups on the boot drive so I don't want any issues later.

Dec 6, 2008I have a PC laptop harddrive that I'm trying to mount to my MacBookPro. The enclosure is homemade and powers the slavedrive up (I can hear it spinning) But nothing pops up on my desktop. Systemprofiler recognizes that a Lacie drive is hooked up via firewire and I positive that my pc slave drive is setup in slave mode.
Does the mac hard drive need to be set so it can accommodate a slave drive?
Intel Mac :: Slave Old HD To Retrieve Files?
Feb 18, 2012I have the original WD 1.0tB hard drive that was replaced in my iMac27. It had some problems and would not boot; therefore, the mac folks replaced the drive. Unfortunately, there are a few files I did not backup on the old drive. To avoid getting into my iMac, could I slave this drive onto a PC to try retrieve the files, or will I need to slave it on my iMac? I have never opened my iMac (out of warranty with no extended), and am not sure I want to.

Apr 13, 2009I've been having some problems lately and I assumed it may be related to my HD since it's been making a lot of creaking noises for a while. Its been freezing a lot and when I click on folders they won't open and the text underneath starts flashing. Yikes. I've never come across that one before so I started booting up off the slave drive. Well just now the same thing happened with the text flashing running off the slave. Could this somehow be related to the master drive failing or do I just have other bigger issues?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMac Mini :: Using A MM As Download / File Transfer Slave?
Sep 5, 2009At present I'm using my MP constantly but it's not always doing work stuff... and have recently I've notice the electricity bill to be astronomically high! Kinda like having a one or two bar heater on twenty-four-seven. Know what I mean?
And, for a little while I've been using a MBP for the same task but I find condition the battery every so often to be a right pain in the rear, especially since it's not my main laptop and it's cells are constantly pumped full most of the time, thus constantly connected to the wall outlet
cut down on my super high fuel bills and make my life a little easier. I'm thinking about buying a Mac Mini of my own, it'll probably be completely headless, cause I'm thinking of using it purely for downloads and huge online file transfers etc.
I am however curious, does anyone else use theirs as a slave, for the same or similar tasks?

Power Mac G5 :: Boot From Slave Or Master - Performance Options
Oct 25, 2007I have a 1.8 duel G5, 3 gig of ram, and 2 internal hard drives, a 120 gig and an 80 gig. My question: does anyone know if it makes a difference (performance wise) which drive I boot from? The 80 was the original boot drive, but due to space problems, now I boot from the 120. I've run every diagnistic imaginable, including Diskwarrior. I have the identical machine at work, and that one just seems snappier. I maintain both machines the same, cocktail, MacJanitor etc. There is plenty of room on both drives. So the last thing I can think of is the master/slave thing.

2. Because the 160GB (going to use for storing musc) drive has OS X Tger installed, will it be a problem when booting once I install both drives? The 320GB drive has Leopard (This will be my primary drive). Will it boot to Leopard and let me use disk utility for format the 160GB drive?

MacBook :: Moving A Logic Board From 2008 Black Macbook To 2010 White Macbook
Jun 28, 2010So last December my laptop got smashed and everything works except for the backlit screen. In fact I can still use this laptop it is just extremely hard since the screen does not light up. The person that smashed it ended up buying me a new laptop so I have this beat up (and I mean the shell is destroyed) laptop with quite a lot of functioning parts.
Now a few weeks ago my girlfriends Grandad spilled a beer on his brand new 2010 Macbook. The logic board is shot so it is almost cheaper for him to buy a brand new laptop.
Would it be possible for me to take the logic board out of my 2008 Black Macbook and put it into his 2010 White Macbook?
MacBook Air :: Macbook Airs (11 And 13) Both Smoking The 13" 2.4Ghz Macbook Pro In Gaming Benchmarks
Oct 27, 2010By far the most interesting benchmark trend coming out of the latest Macbook Air tests is that of the 320M GPU - is this thing somehow clocked differently than in the Macbook/Macbook Pro?
From:
[URL]
The latest Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 Ghz gets 33 FPS in Call of Duty 4, whereas the Macbook Air 13" (using the same 320M GPU) gets 40 FPS. Even the 1.4Ghz 11" gets 37! So obviously we're not talking about a CPU limited game - the only explanation then is that the GPU in the Macbook Air is clocked differently than in the 13" Macbook Pro, no?
From:
[URL]
Again the Macbook Air clocked at 2.13 ghz is beating the 2.4 Ghz Macbook Pro in World of Warcraft and Portal! And in WOW the 11" 1.4ghz still manages to beat the 2.4 Ghz 13" Macbook Pro.
Anyone have any additional insight into this? Anand did a terrible job of testing these for gaming performance, unfortunately, so he may not have even noticed this trend.
