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...

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 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...

Hey, guys. I recently found a great deal on an iMac G5. However, it comes without a hard drive, and the seller doesn't have the original OS disc. I've got plenty of HDDs lying around to get storage on it, but no system discs compatible with the machine, so I was wondering if any of you know a...

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...

I have a canon mg2900 printer. The driver is for 10.5.8 intel and up. I start the week with a G4 challenge in about 2 weeks. I'll definitely need a printer. Any ideas?

OK, this isn't really a problem, kinda just asking for opinions. I noticed that in my web browser poll, the top browser was TenFourFox. For me, at least, LWK is much faster. So, how come so many of you use TFF over WebKit? @eyoungren told me it was because TFF was more customizable. I'm curious...

UPDATE: Trying to get the software installed now. Unfortunately, I seem to have terrible luck when it comes to things like this, so I'm getting error messages. But I figured it out before, so there must be a way! So, I have decided that, starting Tuesday, I am going to try and use my G3...

After looking around for some tips on speeding up Leopard (I just installed it on a 700MHz Mac), I found this really interesting article. With 2 Terminal commands, you can really speed up Leopard. Do this in addition to the other optimizations and you have a really speedy computer. I'm sure...

EDIT: It's looking like I will continue to develop it. Existing copies will still continue to work, however the website will remain down. I'm working on a brand new, rewritten Leopard Market. EDIT: I'm done with the Leopard Market. It is no more and all copies will stop working sometime on...

Hello, I need to use my PPC G5 2ghz machine and my recently bought macpro 1.1. (2.1) with osx lion (insofar) to access Internal hdd data, usually photos etc, on various hard drives installed in these machines, so i can synchronise them manually. I have 1 monitor only. How can i connect my i.e...

This one I am excited for, as it works pretty well. The same guy who brought us TSclientX worked on making PianoBar work under PowerPC. Huge thanks to Daniel!! Sign in with your email and password, then select the Pandora station you want. This will tell you the track currently playing, and if...

I have a dead PowerMac G5 that appears to have a BGA RAM Slot failure, I have heard that some people have had success using a heatgun or an oven to rejoin the solder joint. Has anyone had any success (or failures) attempting to do this. When I turn on my PowerMac I don't get the 3 flashing lights.

Purchased a PowerMac G5 DP 2.5GHz PCIx Liquid Cooled a few weeks ago on an online classified site (it was only $10 so I might as well) the previous owner said that the mac would "boot when cold and wouldn't turn on when hot". Took it home, thinking it was an issue with the LCS I opened the...

Hello forums! I have a PM G4 MDD Dual 1.42 GHz, and was looking to sell it on, how much should I sell it for?

I'm currently using a 1.33GHz iBook G4 as my main laptop computer and I'm thinking about getting something a bit better, such as a PowerBook. I don't think I want to go with the 1.67GHz, as those are a little pricey when compared to other PPC laptops. What do you recommend for a low-cost, fast...

hello, i just bought a used mac pro 1.1 Xeon 2.66ghz with 8GB ram and video card supplied by apple (geforce 7300). OSX Lion 10.7 I know it has EFI 32 bit that can be upgraded to 64bit. I admit i still cannot understand what the 32b vs 64b boot can offer though. I have also a PPC G5 2Ghz with...

A week ago I have visited the private Apple Museum in Moscow city and took some photos. Maybe it will be interesting for somebody :) All these wonderful machines belong to the person who is caring for them, repairs and maintains the software up to date. The museum has only a third of his...

I 've encountered this "32-bit Handbrake asking for a 32-bit VLC" issue today. Couldn't really figure out, how to solve the problem when reading this thread: "32 bit PPC version of Handbrake not recognizing PPC version of VLC"...
