My friend found an old Performa 6300 from 1995. It's fully working aside from the missing ADB mouse. I've been searching for an ADB to USB adapter or even an USB card but to no avail.
View 4 RepliesWhat is the best way to go about this? I have seen some on Amazon that are dirt cheap but I don't know if they work. This is kinda off topic but will this work with a g4 AGP?

is there an adapter for an old Cinema Display to hook up to at PowerPC G4
View 2 Replies View RelatedI found an old macintosh performa 5200 in the attic, and when i started it up it showed a floppy with a flashing question mark.
I heard that means that computer went to hell. Also i don't have any floppy/cd's or so (my grandpa didn't gave them along with the mac in the past).
So now i want to download os 8 and burn it on a cd to install it at the performa.
dont know if this is the right thread but, i picked up a Performa 5200CD, from the dump, and its in perfect condition, but when you go to turn the power on, it does nothing, could this have a dead power suply, broken switch?

(I know for power requirement reasons I cannot use the Yo-Yo on my 17")

However, the phone did not have EDGE, so I bought a Nokia 6300 today. But to my disappointment, it seems that it is impossible to either synchronise the phone with my Mac or use it as a modem. iSync, even in its latest version, does not support my phone and I just cannot connect to the Internet using it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a small server type item and it takes ide drives, i want to get some terrabyte drives and install them with sata to ide adapters.
There is not a lot of room in the top as the container around it slides on it and the ide ports are on the top of the item where the lid slides on,
i need to get some sata to ide adapters that either have flexibility or are long cable type adapters?
My iBook only has USB ports. My Canon Camcorder wants to see a Firewire port to load movies. Never occured to me that Canon and Apple would make incompatible products.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI think my 23" ACD's AC adaptor is broken as it does not power the ACD. There are a few replacement AC adaptors on the market. Can you tell me which one I need to buy?
I was not able to power the 23" ACD with the one for a 20" ACD (45W). So, the replacement I need should be at least a 65W unit.
I've seen a video (although in German) of a magnetic USB adapter.
In the video, the girl plugs in a male USB piece into the car's radio and fits a female USB piece on the end of a USB Drive. They magnetically attached and the radio played music.
The magnetic pieces really reminded me of the MagSafe adapter.
Does anyone know where to find the magnetic USB adapter?
I want to use it to simplify docking my MacBook Pro so I only plug in the MagSafe and USB. I'll have input devices, USB sound card, external hard drive and my iPod plugged into the USB hub hidden under the desk.
I have a macbook that is not wireless n enabled. i know i could take apart the macbook and install a new airport card that is and that would work (and probably will one day soon) for the time being would a usb adapter work the same?
Also airport seems to drop its connection pretty frequently and doesn't like to work more than a few feet away from the docking station. I'm hoping it's because the airport card is old. Would an adapter fix this as well?
I'm hoping this can be answered with a simple "yup" so here it goes.
I have an 8-core 2008 Mac Pro tower. I need to throw a blu-ray burner in it.
The tower only has IDE interface cables for the two optical drive bays.
Will these play nicely together?
So there has been a kink in my magsafe adapter since I first got it. Today the cord just spit, has this happened to anyone else?

I'm about to purchase a Epson R1900 A3 printer, than doesn't come with a USB cable or anything to conntect it to my Mac. I own a wireless printer already that has wireless built in, and would really like to have my A3 printer wilress but I'm having trouble finding a good adapter ( printer server) that is cheap ( i.e. a little more than a good quality USB cable )
Any ideas/reccomendations as to where I can get one ?
I'm going to University next September (hopefully), and I want to be able to play my PS3 on my Macbook display (instead of taking my massive TV).
And I'd also like to be able to connect my freeview box which is a RCA/Scart connection. My PS3 is also RCA/Scart.
I still have a spare 85w Mains adapter and I'd like to be able to use it - my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) is that the MBP will pull the wattage from the mains so a larger one will do no damage. The Apple guy says he wouldn't recommend it (and hence tried to sell me a new 65w one).
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a lacie d2 firewire drive (120GB) that I want to upgrade to a 1TB HD, I know that the internal connection on the drive is IDE, however I have not seen drives of 1TB that have IDE connections on them. I have seen these IDE to SATA adapters and I am wondering if it will work for me if I get an internal SATA drive to replace my 120GB, assuming I have enough space to insert the adapter.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am on my new 27" iMac last night when all of a sudden the display froze and pix-elated for a second and then went black and a few seconds turned back on with an error message at the bottom right screen saying my display adapter had stopped . . . . .
I was in Windows 7 64bit Professional at the time. I also noticed that Apple is wanting download a newer version of Boot Camp which I will download tonight!
I went to the ATI website and found a new driver dated 4-2010 and downloaded it. All seems well but was wondering if anyone has had the same issue?
I have a macbook and I want to get a cinema display but I heard that the cinema displays from apple do not work with any other computer.
Does anyone know where I can get an adapter to have the display work with non-macbooks?
Also I posted this question on Apple Forums and they removed it with no answer because it can lead to rumours about new product releases so I am seeing if anyone here has an answer.
I might be purchasing a 30 inch cinema display and currently have a mid-2009 unibody MBP. I know I need the cable to power it, but do I need to drop the 100 dollars for the apple one or are their any alternatives?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if any one had an idea of what the value of a Mac Performa 6115 might be. It was one of my first computers, paid over $3,000 back when it was purchased, but I know its not worth much now. Thinking about putting on Craigs List. Anyone have an idea of what I should sell it for?

Does anyone know how to reset the password? Or any other ideas how I can get into the computer?
I have finally gotten my PowerMac G5 to boot. It was given to me, so I did not know much about this machine. Once I got it working, I realized it is missing a bluetooth and airport module. I do not want to take the pricy route of getting internal Airport and internal Bluetooth. Can anybody point me to link for relatively cheap USB bluetooth and WiFi adapters that will work properly with 10.5.8 Leopard?

I'm getting another G5 (single this time around since i got no $$) and I need to figure out how to get my 320 gig ata drive in a G5. I need to draw power to that hard drive and I'm not sure how to. Do I split the power between the ata hard drive and the dvd drive? I know I need another part but which one? I should have asked this weeks ago before fiddling around with my Dual G5.
