Does Safari in Leo use gpu acceleration? I looked in Safari Preferences and Develop, but nothing there to turn off or on regarding acceleration...

Does anyone know where I can find a Mac OS 9 install cd for the iMac g3 with all the iMac g3 drivers and stuff?

I have an iMac g3 64mb of ram on osx 10.1. I want to make an os9 partition so I can play classic games and let it run faster, I downloaded an os9.2.1 iso on winwolrd and it works but I can't make an os9 partition on osx. When I try to make a partition in disk utility my hard drive is grayed out and says "cannot initialize startup disc". I tried changing my startup disc to the os9 cd and then use option key to boot into osx but I still get this error. Can anyone help?

Hello! i have an '02 iBook that i have running 10.4 Tiger, and its unable to connect to my internet because the airport card doesn't appear to support the newer wifi protocols. i can use an old dell from 2001 on this same network because i was able to get a newer wireless card for it (from '08 i believe) so i was curious if they made an updated airport card that would work with a 2002 iBook?

Context: I recently bought two Macintosh Carry Bags (the beige canvas ones used to carry the 128k/512k compact Macs; model M0200?). I’m not sure if I bought two different permutations of the bag, or if one is a knockoff.

Bag 1: Darker beige. Thicker fabrics overall. C&C zipper. Made in USA tag. This one screams real to me.

Bag 2: Lighter color relative to bag 1. Thinner fabrics. YKK zipper. Made in Korea tag. Silver buttons on the handle wrap (not sure if they used to be black). I’m skeptical of this one, but also wonder if it was manufactured earlier in life of the product and is therefore lower quality.

I can provide more info if needed—really just trying to figure out if I should return one.

He has a Performa 600 series with a 17” AppleVision 1710 Display and a Personal LaserWriter 320, purchased in late 1996. He also has a ton of software including AppleWorks 6 and Adobe products, some of which are new in box. Everything is in unknown condition as far as I’m aware.

From our text conversations it sounds like he has original documentation and invoices for everything, which is great.

I’m not very knowledgeable on 90s Macs so I have no idea what to offer him for all of this, especially because it’s such a complete set of stuff. Recent eBay listings for Performa 600s seem to be between $30-80, but that’s for the computer alone.

Also, isn’t this era of Mac very brittle nowadays? I’m a university student who will need to drive this stuff a few hours to my house.

I’m looking for speakers that match my Cinema Display HD 20” which I am using with my Mac mini. I have limited to no space for speakers on either side of the display so are there any speakers that can be mounted/fixed/attached to the display and look good? I have been using the built in “speaker” (if that even qualifies as one 🙈) of the Mac mini for far too long now…

Hey Guys,

Feel free to remove my post if it doesn't meet the criteria of posting,but I figured I'd give it a shot here as I don't really have any other outlets to try.

Long story short: I've acquired recently a G5 Quad(Late 2005,the last revision,single Delphi pump model). I've disassembled it,flushed the cooling system,performed the 'New Blood mod', refilled the LCS with a 20% mixture of Glycol based coolant and Distilled water ,the machine turns on, everything is working as expected,but the ASD based thermal Calibration always seems to be failing,I've also checked the pump,and it was working just fine with the CPU daughterboards removed running at max pushing liquid just fine. Also applied a moderate layer of Arctic-MX6 thermal paste,to no Avail, calibration fails (well actually CPU A passed after setting the machine up by an open window where it was able to pull in some Air with the temperature of ~18 Celsius directly,but CPU B got 'Error,temperature out of spec @ 25'). Althought the temps themselves do not seem to be that high from my perspective, With the automatic power management in Sorbet leopard both CPUs idle around 38-40 degrees Celsius at room temperature(~20-22 celsius). Whilst running geekbench the CPU does launch up to 75-80 degrees Celsius periodically,but it being pegged at a 100% percent it is to be expected I guess.

My questions are the following:
- If these temps are too high what temps should be optimal for the CPUs (both idling and under stress)
- Is any of you aware of a semi-drop-in replacement pump for these systems(it doesn't matter if it requires some mods but i've seen different approaches to this on the internet so I'm a bit confused and I wanna be sure before i invest 50euros in a new pump).
- Is there any way in OpenFirmware to override these values of fan speeds maybe by hand?

Thanks in advance!
Happy Computing

Sadly, either the DC/DC board needs re-soldering or the logic board needs re-soldering so it only turns on for half a second and then immediately turns off. But still pretty to look at!

I got a Macintosh Plus working after a fair amount of work, and after setting the clock, I noticed something really weird - it takes about 2 seconds for 1 second to pass on the machine. Is the CPU underclocked or something?

as sad as it is, i am selling my PowerPC. it is a PowerPC 8100/100 released 97. it has keyboard, mouse, Apple color monitor, external cd drive, 8mil tape drive, and power cords. it has all the cables.

then there's another issue. i have a lot of stuff for this. software CDs, hardware cards, 8mil tapes, some still sealed, documentation, and lots more. my friend says its all worth over 2000$ at least, not counting the sealed box copy of power media 100. i have no clue how to even begin to price this.

HELP.

Hello everyone, I would like to know if you have any advice on where to find bags to transport a Mac classic and an ImageWriter II printer. I've seen some vintage official Apple ones on eBay, but I was wondering if there might be other brands with lower prices yet still the right dimensions.

I'm asking because I'm in Italy, and it's also more difficult for me to buy from eBay America since almost everything is found there, but maybe if I can search for specific other brands could be easier.

Anyway, if you're interested, I'm an illustrator and sometimes I make prints with a Mac classic and ImageWriter II https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4uzsWINbi9/?hl=it :)

Got a charger in today to test the ibooks/powerbook I found at the dump. this is what greeted me when I opened up the powerbook. guess that explains its no power issue :c

I have a power Mac g4. When I inserted a usb it completely stopped and shut off. Does anyone know what happened. My Mac still works after but is it still good and healthy?. I'm thinking it's cause it's usb 3.0 because I tried an old usb that worked fine

Is my power Mac g4 ok?

Can anyone post screenshots of Jaguar, Panther or Tiger in graphite mode? For the life of me, I can't find any decent screenshots online, only the wallpaper. I can't remember, where the icons represented also in graphite?

On my power Mac G4, the airport option has the ability to create a network. How would you do the wiring to make the network? (I don’t plan on making one because the old security) My guess would be, put the RJ-45 that comes out of the modem into the port on the back of the Mac, instead of putting it in a normal router. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Hi folks,

I want to run NikonScan 4.0.2, which only runs on OS X 10.4.11 or older. So I thought I would get my trusted iBook G4 out of it's basement retirement and try to install that software. Unfortunately, the OS X installed on my iBook is 10.5.8, which is to new to run NikonScan. How do I install the older version on the iBook?

I have downloaded .toast files of 10.4 on this website and burned them on 4 CDs I tried to install it from them, but the first CD doesn't show up as an option when I start my iBook while holding Option. It shows up in the Finder once it's booted and I can even start the installation from it, but when the installation program restarts the computer it just does a regular restart and does not let me install anything. When I start the iBook while holding C it just takes longer to boot and it gets stuck on a screen where a question mark and the finder face blink for a little while but then it resumes booting normally. I even tried creating a partition, because I read I need a clean partition to install it to, but that did not change a thing. I also downloaded the DVD version of the 10.4 installer and burned that one, but it had the same issue. I also reset the iBook to factory settings before installing, but that didn't do anything either.

Does anyone one what the issue might be? Are there other ways to install a version of OS X? Do I maybe have to wipe the hard drive clean and install it fresh? Or is the burned CD/DVD an issue and I need an original copy?

If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated,

Have a nice day! :)
