I have just been given a MDD 2003 1.25GHz desktop and installed new ram, and HD's into it, powered it up and nothing no chime the large internal fan power's up and a red led on logic board is showing, checked that I have correct type of memory ie PC2700 for this model but that's as far as I get with it.
View 2 Repliesso I'm thinking of upgrading to 4GB RAM for my Penryn MBP....and I'm wondering if i can swap my current two 1GB sticks in a 1.25GHz Powerbook G4 that my friend has? I double-checked and found out that the Powerbook G4 could take in 2GB of RAM max.

Recently purchased a new desktop so i wouldn't mind tinkering with my OLD iMac G4 1.25G Is this processor just a over clocked 1g G4? I would like to add more ram and over clock it to 1.5g or higher if possible. Is there anyone who would know how todo this? I assume i would need to change jumper setting within the computer right? What would the setting be?
I mainly use this for music and simple everyday tasks and its soooooo slow compared to my MBP and MP.
I've got a 1.25GHz G4 iMac with 1.5 GB of ram running on Leopard and I'm also an avid anime addict. Lately, more and more anime are being encoded in H264 and my iMac just can't handle it anymore. In some cases, I get sound but no video (processing power is enough for sound, but just not enough juice for the H264 decoding) and the sound plays with no stutter/lag. However, in other cases, everything is laggy.
Either way, is there no way around this? It's not my main system, and I can accept the fact that it's an outdated system, but I've been able to do most things I usually do with it without problems. I'll never get rid of this baby, so I would like to know if anything can be done to stretch it's potential
"you can donate it to [fill in your name here]" because the answer is "no", or "upgrade to something more recent" because the answer is "I already have something more recent".
I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on upgrading my old Powerbook G4. I don't have a lot of money to purchase a new MacBook Pro yet so I wanted to max out the current model I have now.
The Specs:
15" Aluminum
1.25 GHz G4
768 MB RAM
150 GB HDD
The things I want to upgrade is RAM and the HDD. Is it possible to go further than 2GB for RAM and 250GB for HDD?
I want to be able to run Leopard on it and even the latest edition of Adobe CS. Hopefully Adobe CS4 when it comes out.
I have been looking to purchase a iMac G4 1.25GHz 17" or 20" display to use as an iTunes server and play some movies on it. I have a late 2008 (purchased in Oct.) AEBS that I use for my wireless. My question is will the G4 be able to use the wireless capabilities of the AEBS? If not, what will I need for this to be successful?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm about to purchase one and I keep getting mixed answers. I know there are two slots in this model, but i've been told it holds a maximum of 2GB, 1GB in each, and also that it only holds 1GB, 512MB in each.
Someone that has this model may know the real answer. Keep in mind, this is the 17", not the 20", so it may be different.
Also, are both slots accessible?
i just opened my imac g4 1.25 ghz 17" (lamp imac) and found a wire that is taped at the end and apparently not connected somewhere.. as you can see in the pics, the one i'm holding with an orange tip at the tip.. i dont really know the history of this imac.. :c
is this a cause for concern on my part? i'm replacing/upgrading the dvd rom and hard disk.. that's why i saw that wire.
Here is my scenario....
1st start up- start chime then nothing, no screen signal fan stops but light stays on.
2nd start up- start chime, apple logo with load clock, then flash to blue screen, then desktop image kicks in.
The finder bar then appears but has chunks missing in blocks, icons are overlapped and duplicated or multi- colored horizontal lines followed by strobing.
To over come this I have too start up from the install DVD, go to disk utilities, repair disk permissions.
I then restart and everything is OK most of the time.
I'm trying to fix a friend's G5 desktop, 1st generation. 1st LED comes on, 2nd LED comes on when I press start button. Power supply voltages are correct. Hard drive runs, but fans don't come on. I have power to fans. 5 and 12 volts. No beeps. Pressed SMU button as well, and nothing changes. Don't see any bulging caps. Someone else changed a few before I got it. Also jiggled RAM chips.
Info:
iMac
None of the applications on my desktop will open. I click on them and nothing happens. I tried to restart, shutdown and power off holding down the power button.

When I start up my computer everything looks normal, all icons are on the desktop and my cursor is able to move. The problem is I can't affect any of the icons on the desktop (folders, files, etc)-every thing is frozen. After about 3 minutes it unfreezes and everything then works. what is the problem?

I've recently bought a macbook and I love it, but am trying to connect to my outlook server and having a few problems. Firstly I can't access OWA through Safari at all, every time I type it in it says 'Safari can't find the server' - it is sbs2003, and this works fine in IE Ideally I wanted to set up access through Mail or Entourage (2008) however I've read that it is not possible to connect to exchange through this. Frustrating as I have just bought this and have a free upgrade to 2011 but only home and student so apparently this won't have outlook on here either. I have been trying to connect for days and I just can't figure out the best way to get to my emails? if you could point me in the direction of a good walkthrough that would be great.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've searched high and low and can't find any reports of running Server 2003 on a 2008 Mac Pro via Bootcamp, 32-bit or 64-bit. Has anyone done it? I found a few instances of people having trouble getting it running on MacBook Pros and other systems. I also found an article on a workaround to do it on a MacBook: [URL] Even the 32-bit version of Server 2003 can handle 32GB of RAM via PAE and I have several licenses for it.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm just posting for the archives my success with installing Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2 Standard Edition on a Jan 2008 Mac Pro (8x2.8 GHz, 4 GB RAM). I've installed Server 2003 a Mac Mini (1.83 Ghz), MacBook (Late 2006) and an iMac (early 2008) and didn't find the information available online to be greatly helpful, so hopefully this post will help somebody like me sometime in the future. To set up Windows Windows Server 2003 R2 on a Jan 2008 Mac Pro:
Boot OS X and run Boot Camp Assistant as usual. Install Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 as usual (comes as 2 discs, but only requires the second disk upon your first successful log in so this isn't a problem with bootcamp). Eject the Windows installation CD in the windows explorer by right clicking the D: drive and selecting Eject.........................
I've tried typing some search terms for what I think I want to be able to do, but I'm getting nothing relevant- I figured I'd just spell out my problem on the forums and see if there are any solutions. I work for an EMS organization that has several windows workstations (running xp) that connect to a larger server, which hosts our shared drive ("U") as well as windows specific programs for generating reports. Specifically, one of our call logs is a microsoft access database that is linked via our network to generate a specific reference number for our calls.
Now, I'm moving up in the world and going to be directing human resources and pr for the agency, and while the windows workstations are nice, I am a damn fine mac user and would love to use my unibody 17" pro for the job. Here is where my questions come in. I'd like to use my mac running virtualbox, parallels, or whatever with an xp install to connect to the server and have a typical workstation desktop (the U drive, network attached programs) next to my osx desktop. I know macs can access shared drives on server 2003, but can I set up a virtual machine to emulate one of our workstations?
I can successfully connect to my work server (Windows 2003 Small Business Server) using the built in VPN utility. That isn't an issue.
However, once connected I have no way to navigate the file system to be able to copy and paste files between our server and my MacBook Pro. I'm not sure why.
When I'm in the office and am connected to our network via ethernet cable and connect to the server via VPN, the different drives show up in the Shared section in Finder.
However, when I connect remotely from home those drives don't show up in Finder.
How can I get back my mac emails from 2003 - 2007?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am about to purchase my first mac, having been a PC person all my life. Currently I use Outlook 2003 extensively. There are an awful lot of emails, callendar entries etc which I must hold onto and be able to access. This is vital. In migrating to Mac (a move well over due) I am anxious that I can transfere my Outlook files (emails/contacts/callendar etc) into Entourage. I would have though this would be possible using PST files - however some internet research has led me to beleive this might not be the case.
I have searched for this item in the forums here on cnet and someone came up with the following like. [URL] which I cannot seem to get to bring up anything useful. Do I need to be using my Mac to be able to view this page (I find this unlikley). Does anyone know how I can efforlessly transfere from Outlook to Entourage?
I purchased Outlook2Mac in order to convert my current Outlook 2003 pst to Entourage. The conversion works well with my Outlook 2003 pst file. However, I just discover that many of my emails, which are in Vietnamese (Unicode) are now showing garbage characters instead of the correct characters.
