View 10 RepliesUses for G4 Quicksilver?
Just bought it yesterday, have Puma on it currently, gonna upgrade to tiger when i get the disc.
What could i use it for, Server? iTunes streaming?
I've read tutorials on it, Ive downloaded it, played with it, uninstalled it. I have to be missing something here. To me it looks just like a more complicated way to get to programs and things you want. What am I missing? What does it really do? I don't get why everyone is so in love with this program. Everything online I find about it gushes about how great it is but always ends up boiling down to "it helps you open applications faster".

I have purchased a WD Caviar SE - EIDE HD Question: can I just run it inline with the operating (boot) HD off the ATA bus, or do I need to get an IDE PCI adapter card?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI purchased a used ATI X850 XT AGP 2-slot for PC, not the single slot found as OEM on PowerMac G5s. The goal is to flash it with the equivalent Mac bios so that I can use it in my Mac G4 867MHz Quicksilver (2001). By the way, I already know that I have to cover up pins 3 and 11 in order for an 8x AGP card to work in my Apple 4x AGP slot.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just set out to initialize the drive of my old G4 800 DP, using the system disc. Everything began fine but when I returned the screen was black, and video wasn't being picked up. I decided to force reboot and start over, but now I cannot get my mac to boot at all. Black screen with no video. Cannot boot from firewire target drive. Machine won't recognize system disc. When I boot there is no chime. I hear the machine apparently working hard to read the system disc but nothing happens and it eventually ejects the disc. I've tried 3 different discs, so I know it's the machine not the disc. Pressing "option" at startup has no effect. I also know it's not my LCD, as it works fine with my other machine. Anyone have any idea about what's going on here and what I can do to regain access to my machine?

The one in the middle has a "play" icon on it although it is pointing in the wrong direction to be a play button. It points to the left. The other smaller one has the look of a reset button.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to find specific information that would tell me if a 1.25 GHz processor from a MDD G4 would swap into a G4 Quicksilver (733 MHz) I have sitting in a corner.
They are both single processor machines, but I question the compatibility. I don't have the MDD machine with the 1.25 GHZ processor yet, so I can't look at them both for comparison.
Why were some Powermac G4's names have Quicksilver in them? Is it a special line or what? Whats the diffrence between the G4 "Quicksilver" and the regular g4?

Quicksilver is my most used app on my macbook pro. But I'm amazed its still in beta. Is it dead or something? There are tons of bugs and it keeps crashing

I found a G4 quicksilver I couldn't help but bid on(eBay). Its 50 bucks with shipping. But before i pay I want to know a couple questions and opinions.
Question: Will this computer be good for some light movie editing and watching home videos and youtube? Cause my g3 is too slow to play any videos. I just want to know to get some advise if this is a really good deal or i should just save up more money and buy a newer mac.
Here the specs and pics.

My old faithful G4 867 Quicksilver won't start up. The grey screen with the apple appears, then the progress bar over a blue background. The progress bar gets to full and the system hangs there.

--Have you run permissions yet? Not sure exactly what that means, but attempted to repair them using Disk Utility and then DiskWarrior

--What devices are connected to your machine? USB Keyboard, USB mouse connected through keyboard port, lcd monitor,
ethernet cable

I have zapped the PRAM.
It will not boot into safe mode..................
I use a program called 1Password (which is pretty much the freakin' coolest application out there, other than Quicksilver). Click here for more info about this app...For the longest time now, I have been dying to get the developers of 1Password to integrate their program with Quicksilver so that I could use QS to launch any of my saved 'web form' entries (which are basically 1Password database entires that store a URL, and your corresponding username/password for that for that URL - and when a web form is launched via the programs 'Go-and-fill' command, the application will open the specified website in your browser and will automatically log you in, without the need for any user intervention whatsoever).

and now Quicksilver wont work. My hotkey wont bring it up, though I see in open when I log in. I also can't just open it from my applications folder. Because I don't have it visible in my dock there is no way I can get to it.
I've tried deleting the plug-in in the plug-ins folder, but it still wont work.
Does anyone know another way to open it up, or some other way of fixing this problem?
so i want to type a part of file name in QS and let QS find the file ..
i know its poissible,but how to do it ??
My SATA RAID card is conflicting with my 6800 GT Graphics card in my 2002 Quicksilver.
View 7 Replies View Relatedusing a MBP in a target disk mode i got the G4 to build, but on its own, the folder with the question mark appears blinking I want to know how do i get on lookign for the right PCi IDe card? Would any do?Is the Fw400 Card a better option? I guess putting a system disk in an external through firewire isn't gonna do it?
But getting a PCI firewire would? is it fasterAm not to sure what i want to do with the machine once i get it working. Maybe put it at my folks house, about time the got to learn the MAC OS x.
i need to reinstall Quicksilver into my MBP but the website is currently offering only the Beta to Quicksilver and the old version sub-page is out of order. Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain the last stable (non-beta) version of Quicksilver?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy hard drive from my G4 733mhz wont mount at all. The ? in a blue folder just appears. I have tried to start up from an external mountable drive and the ? again appears. When I disconnect the internal hard drive completely and boot from my external drive it boots up.
Prior to this problem I took the hard drive from my G4 733Mhz and put it in my G4 867Mhz computer to load a new disk image. I did this as I didn't have access to an external mountable drive then. After doing this the hard drive doesn't mount in either computer and when connected all other mountable drives wont mount. I have the internal drive set to master.
I have a folder with everything from my old computer on it in Andrew/documents/old and i don't want quicksilver to add the files inside that folder to it's index. How do i stop it from doing so?
