I have an eMac that I want to install OS 10.4.1 on. The OS is on a DVD and I think the eMac only has a CD player on it. Can I download the installer to a flash drive and then install it on my eMac? Also, will I need to leave anything out of the installation since it will probably have an install to operate a DVD player, which the computer does not have?
View 4 RepliesI found a great deal on an eMac for the rest of my family to use. Before getting started, I wanted to reinstall Leopard using a disk image. Obviously with an eMac, I am not able to boot and install using a USB flash drive so I used an old iPod with a firewire connection and put the disk image on the iPod. The problem I am having is when I hold down the "option" key on startup, the iPod drive does not show up. Am I doing something wrong? To my understanding, I thought I could use an old iPod to install OSX

We tried to re-install the OSX system from an external DVD drive and although it registered the Install DVD, it would never boot from it. Eventually, we used my son's Mac laptop as a slave and reinstalled.Unfortunately, the computer still freezes randomly. It seems worse when pulling things from the dock (eg: Word files, Firefox etc.) or when pull down menus appear.
I just installed security update 2008-08 on my emac and after restart it won't restart..

We have a macbook in the same situation if you can answer that one too.
I just finished up a fresh install of Windows 7 and downloaded and installed the NVidia driver from their site directly since the one in the Boot Camp files is pretty old and technically the Vista driver anyway.
But I still need the Brightness, Sound, etc key functionality. Is there a way to selectively install Boot Camp drivers? That's the only one I need. The wireless, chipset, video and everything else works just fine (and in some cases better) than the ones included in Apple's setup.
I need more ram for my eMac 1ghz. It has 512mb and its a little slow during some things. Like IMovie. What type of ram do I need?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have an eMac version 10.4.11 Tiger. I have iPhoto 2 and would like to upgrade to a better version: iPhoto 6 that comes with iLife '07 or iPhoto 7 that comes with iLife '08. What do you recommend?
I currently have 5,480 photos in one library. This is what I hope to accomplish with the upgrade to a better iPhoto:
1) option to include comments (metadata) alongside the photos in the message text when e-mailing photos to somebody?
2) let you print a contact sheet and include the photo comments underneath each photo?
3) burn photos to disc from within iPhoto, that will preserve the comments along with the photos? Later, you can insert the disc and it will show up in iPhoto with the photos and comments intact?
4) backup to iBook with comments/metadata included?
Im purchasing an eMac in a couple days, but am a little confused about performance. Its a 1 GHZ PowerPC G4 with 256MB of Ram but my last pc blew up (literaly) However the 1GB of RAM that was in still works and will fit in it.
Besides that my Questions pertain to Leopard and Time Machine. I Know that Leopard will run on this Mac, But what about performance? and I heard that the eMacs cant experience the i candy Time Machine offers.
How So? is it true? I really want the Ability to use Time Machine. (Right now i'm just using Genie Timeline for my Windows 7 PC)
My hard drive says it's capacity is 57.26 GB. It says 52.14 GB is being used, leaving me with only 5.12 GB free. I don't have any music, and all the applications only tally up to like 1.7GB, so what is using up all the rest of my hard drive space?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI changed from at&t to comcast and I have had so many problems with emailing. I finally got comcast to get me to atleast be able to read my email but I can't reply to any emails. My operation system is a Mac OS X 10.3. My apple system correlates to M8951LL/A specs. I think that comcast only supports OS X 10.4 and higher, mine is a 10.3. Does anyone know if I can upgrade to a 10.4 with a computer this old?
I tried to download Lion and Tiger but both of those require 10.4 minimum. Bottom line does anyone know first if it is possible to upgrade to a 10.4 with my emac and if so how?

emac 900 1 ghz, Mac OS X (10.3.x), M8951LL/A apple system
How and where can I down load the iphoto app for OS X 10.5.6??I had problems with my old one and deleted it from my computor.Do I need to reinstal my original disks in order to get my iphoto back?

I have just replaced my old eMac, and want to recycle it. So I need to wipe the HD. I tried to use Disc Utilities, and it wouldn't do it. I went to the page to restore/erase, etc. but when I selected my HD, the button for 'erase' was grayed out.

i am trying to upgrade my old emac.
after going to the apple store, a store tech said they no longer had
tiger for ppc emacs.. and to go to ebay that they had plenty.
well i cant seem to find tiger 10.4 but i have found leopard.
i know there is no difference between the ppc and the intel as both versions come on the disk but my question is is there a difference between the macbook and the emac ver.
this is the version i found.. for macbook Mac OS Leopard version 10.5.4 AHT version 3A152 Disk version: 1.2 2Z691-6311-A
Will this work in a emac
its a restore disk so im thinking it should..
So yeah I need 2 gigs of ram for my eMac 1.42ghz model. I found this but I don't know if there is anywhere to get it for less $.

I just got a USB 2.0 emac for nothing that was going to the recycler. The door specs are: 1.25 ghz/256/40GB/Combo "About this mac" shows that it has 512mb RAM installed in one slot, and it is running 10.4.11 Anyways, it seems to be working great so far. I was able to get one stick of 256mb supported RAM from the only other 1.25 ghz machine in the lot - the rest were 700 - 800mhz emacs. Is it OK to mix the 256 with the 512? I've read many places that it is fine, but will it actually boost the speed of apps and things, or should I just leave it as is? I read somewhere that it might slow down the speed between the two RAM capacities. I don't want to spend any money to buy more RAM.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an EMac g4-255mb(just got 2 (256mb chips) never put in yet)-60gig running 10.4 (just got it) and now just got iLife 06) and then I have an 80gig external hard drive. So its like 140gig of room. But I only have a cd burner and dvd drive. Would it be cheaper to install an new internal drive? Or pay more for the external(cause there is no hard installation). What drives would work? And I have a $200 dollar gift card to bestbuy or futureshop.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just got an excellent condition eMac 1.42GHz with the Radeon 9600 Card every transition is so smooth! Smoother than my MacBook!
Everything is standard, but it has an Airport Card in it as well which is cool
However, standard also means only 256MB of DDR3200 Memory.
Tiger is installed and everything updated.
Now I am planning to move this thing to Leopard alongside my MacBook. How much RAM shall I get for it? 512MB or 1GB? (bringing it to 768/1.25 respectively) Also what do I need to look out for brand-wise or type wise?
i have some questions regarding the Emac..
1.if i get the raster problem that its known for.. will the image display fine on an lcd with the mini vga cable?
2.is an emac with these specs worth $100 shipped..700mhz""512mb""40gig""keyboard""mouse""cd-rw""geforce2mx..
3.how much stronger in old games is the emac compared to an powermac g4 400mhz with a ati rage pro?? with 512mb of ram..
4.i think thats everything
I am wondering because of the click sound if it may actually be the hard-drive causing the pausing issues (as processor/loading noise on macs is generally silent). I have done all of the disk utility fixes etc. with no positive results; disk utility can not find any problems with the HD.
View 2 Replies View Relatedmy grandfather's dell laptop is horribly slow. I want to buy him a new computer thats runs faster for his emails/videos. I was looking at the old imacs/emacs on ebay (the 2000-2005) versions.
These comps fit in his budget of approx 100$. I was planning to buy an imac/emac with the following specs
500mhz (or faster) Processor (or 600/700mhz)
256mb (or more) Ram (512mb)
20gb Hard drive (adding external memory)
with the newer os x operating system.
My question will these computers fit his needs? He writes emails, he writes a ton of word documents, and he views videos off youtube and off a media player.
My question is that will these spec'd computers be able to run his needs efficiently?
Are there programs that are similar to the windows (which he is used to)?
Can you run microsoft office on these computers?
If not what would be the recommended specs I should look for?
I went online and baught the following memory that should be compatible with my eMAC:
512MB 64x64 non-ecc
PC133 133Mhz, 168 pin SDRAM
Unbuffered, Non ECC, Non Registered
7.5ns, 3.3v, CL 3 or CL 2
My 5yo eMac (1GHz G4 with 1GB of RAM) freezes intermittently. Sometimes the mouse & keyboard lock up, sometimes a semi-opaque grey 'curtain' covers the screen with a message window in the middle telling me to restart.
Sometimes it restarts okay, sometimes it freezes on the Apple/cog-wheel screen, sometimes the grey curtain comes down again, sometimes the desktop loads okay but then lines of code scroll down the left side of the screen and it locks up again. The RAM is third-party stuff but it's been working fine for over 12 months. The freezing occurs under 10.4 and 10.3.
Trying to get the ps3 eye to work with my emac. OS X 10.5.6. I have downloaded the latest macam and installed it, dragged the component over to the folder, and copied the component into the library/quicktime folder. When I open macam it recognizes that I have the ps3 eye hooked up, but the screen is black. Skype and yahoo also recognize the camera, but the cam monitor screen is black. I really want this to work, and have seen many posts from people with the emac/eye/macam combo and a lot of people have said it works.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to the MAC OS, having migrated over from the PC side. I have an eMac running MAC OSX 10.5.8, with 2GB Ram. I'm having a couple of minor glitches that are driving me insane.
1. My computer always starts with EverNote running full screen. On the Dock, I have clicked the Open on Start up to remove the check mark, yet the next time I start up, there it is again. How do I permanently keep it from running at start up?
2. When I close EverNote, I then find a dialog box from ActionFX Log In that states that "To view this page, you must log in to this area on www.actionfx.com 80". I don't have a log in name or password to enetr. How can I stop this script from running?
3. Every time I start the eMac, the SuperDrive door opens and stays open. After the computer finishes, then I have to manually close the door (F12). Is this normal? Can I not open the tray automatically?
OK, was able to finally get Evernote not to run at startup. Just need to know about the SuperDrive door and the running script.
what printer will fit the eMac OSx10.2.4
