Was trying to boot my G5 from a USB flash drive earlier today. Plugged in the flash drive, booted into Open Firmware, and typed this: boot ud:,\\:tbxi Unfortunately I got a prohibited sign. This method works perfectly for my Mac mini G4, iBook G4, and iMac G4. However I could never get it...

Hi friends :) I am so sorry if this was asked before, because I know the computer is old, but I still like it. I bought a powermac g5 and the seller claimed it works fine. It does turn on and boots into MacOS except that one CPU reaches 83C. The other CPU reaches 40C. I wish I could show you...

I want that look but as far as i know there are no themes similar to it..... There is one but its not available anywhere on the internet (its called Good Gray 1.4, if anyone has it could you upload it please?). Is one in the making or is nobody making shapeshifter themes anymore?

To all of you who use a PowerPC Mac as your daily driver: What apps do you use for your calendar and contacts and why? I use iCal and Address Book because they can sync to my iPods and Address Book works with Mail. I like the UI and features as well. I thought it would be interesting to see...

All my PowerPC projects! :) Tiger Sierra Theme Before LeopardRebirth was out, I was making a Sierra theme for personal use. Once LeopardRebirth came out, some people requested a Sierra Theme for Tiger. It wasn't hard to adapt my theme to Tiger, so I did that and released it. Get it on the...

One more step to completing that Tiger Sierra Theme would be a transparent menu bar. Couldn't find anything with a DuckDuckGo search, but I know it's possible because @swamprock had showed screenshots with it. Anyone know of a way to get a transparent menu bar on Tiger? Thanks in advance. :)

My Tiger Sierra Theme has NO ICONS in the current beta! Can you believe it? :O In the end, I plan to implement a .pkg that will upgrade the icons. For now, however, I'd like a temporary solution. I have an iContainer (CandyBar file) with a bunch of Sierra icons. The only thing I can get changed...

NOTE: 2021 overhaul updates and remarks supersede the original WikiPost. Several details have changed. OVERVIEW In 2021, we still have a few browser options for PowerPC. Nearly all, however, are no longer current, particularly where security updates are concerned. The do, however, generally...

This idea drives me nuts! - To run a slick Linux-Distro within VirtualPC7 which is also able to run a Dropbox-Client or even Netflix. I did not succeed with AntiX and Debian7 'cause the damn Cursor didn't work within the VM. Read about someone getting Mandrake10 to run within VirtualPC7 but...

The only Macs I use Tiger on are very low-end; a 700MHz iMac G4 and an iBook G3 "Snow" (and I'll get it on my Clamshell soon). Since I don't do a lot of web browsing on these, I'm not going to install TenFourFox and I'd like to use TenFourKit instead. Yes, it's outdated, but my Internet usage is...

EDIT: Easy Installer Attached to this post is now an AppleScript that can apply the commands below or revert you to the default Leopard appearance. I recommend using this, but I also recommend reading the info below so you know what you're doing and what problems you may run into. EDIT: The...

Updated Info I've decided to go with @QSDP-User's suggestion, and I will be changing things up a little bit. The OS will have the welcome screen bypassed and updates installed. There will be a Setup app that allows you to set up your speed tweaks. For software, use Software to Get You Started...

macOS Sierra Theme for OS X Tiger Back in October, @swamprock was making a Sierra Theme for Tiger. Sadly, he has left the forum now, so I'll be continuing his work and creating a full macOS Sierra Theme for OS X Tiger! @swamprock's work, which I will be building on. The Theme Will Include... -...

I've searching for a long time for a simple non-distracting Outliner for use on my PowerBook, MacBook and iPhone. During the last days I rediscovered "Taskpaper" and it's qualities of being a text only solution, with files, that will even survive a sudden death of it's applications (which will...

I got an old new iMac running the last version of Tiger that it just can. I’m having trouble figuring out what the correct format of app icons for Finder would be, because the behavior I now see appears somewhat inconsistent. I’m used to changing document and app icons in more recent OS systems...

I just got a 17" 1GHz 1GB RAM iMac G4 and updated it to the newest Tiger that it can run. Router is a TeleWell tw-eav510. I don't have much experience with integrating old and new tech and I'm having problems getting the iMac online. Actually I don't necessarily need it to connect to the...

I've just joined the club, as I managed to track down a neat 17" iMac G4. I wanted to mostly have it as a writing platform for late nights. On my main computer, I've used OmmWriter and FocusWriter because of these very important points: Distraction free: Full screen; None or barely any...

I'd like to play some old games, namely the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series (2, 3 and 4). These games were made for PowerPC based Macs, therefore the newest macOS does not support them. I read that I can purchase OSX Snow Leopard and I can install it to a VirtualBox/VMWware/Parallels virtual...

So back when Apple sold both PPC and Intel, you had Rosetta to run your PPC apps on Intel. So could we possibly write something that did the opposite, and ran Intel apps on PowerPC? AFAIK Rosetta didn't emulate anything, so it should not only be possible, but maybe at an acceptable speed as...

Recently I found out, that the latest Cyberduck-App for Intel-Macs supports two-way autentification for Dropbox, Googledrive and others. I've mailed the developers, if the PowerPC version of Cyberduck could get this feature too (currently there's only/at least webDAV-support). He answered, that...
