Still won't update even with the correct date and 10.3.9 installed. Can I just get the other updates off of the internet like I did with the OS upgrade?

I am running 10.3 and I need to update to at least 10.3.4 (Preferably 10.3.9) for iLife which I have been trying to install.

I am trying to get my Powermac G4 (1x500) to update, but it always gives me a 1001 error. I recently installed a larger Hard Drive, a 120GB Western Digital WD1200. I doubt that this has anything to do with the issues, although it is the only difference between getting updates and not getting...

In one of my earlier conquests, I received a couple of Apple IIes, one with a bunch of cards. I have been trying to gather info on some of these, but I still need some info on them. Some of these I just need original prices and such, but others don't even have a known function. Anyways, these...

Just find another parts machine or wait a while for prices to go down. Might be $700+ now, but it will probably be half of that in a couple of years or so.

As the title above states, I was wondering if 15" iMac G4 LCDs use the same internal display connector as the 17" LCDs, and if they are compatible with both 15" and 17" boards (Example: I am trying to connect a 15" LCD to a 17" iMac MoBo). The display connector on 15 and 17 inch models are in...

Yes, I have both held down and not held down the C key for over 5 minutes. I have tried installing from another mac, as well as from an external Disk Drive with both USB and Firewire Ports. I know that the Internal Superdrive and External Disk Drive works. Firmware is not an issue. I have tried...

Nope, nothing is wrong with the Superdrive, as Hardware Test, 10.3 Upgrade and 10.4 seem to have read. The disks are official Apple Install Disks, not meant for any specific machine. Also- I tried another version of 10.2 (10.2.3 to be exact) and that didn't work either...

I have an iMac G4 (15", 800MHz, 60GB, 768MB, Superdrive, Airport) that I recently wiped and tried to reinstall the OS. I have tried many versions of Mac OS including 9 (Which is in fact compatible with this model), 10.0, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.5 (Which isn't compatible, but I tried anyways). I tried...

Do as you wish, although the fact that it is still new is probably the only perk about the iMac.

Boy, you're in a pickle aren't you? I have always wondered what to do if I ever came across a brand new still boxed computer. Do you keep it in the box so that it remains brand new or remove it to save it from certain death from the battery???

I got it in the mail yesterday and am loving it! Turns out the LCD is actually the High Resolution one @ 1680x1050. It appears that the screen was replaced, as the model number matches the lower spec Powerbook, but that doesn't matter much, as I am very pleased with this computer and plan on...

@ClassicHasClass: So theoretically, if I was to install a G3 upgrade, the only problem would be a decoder card? Sounds like a hack/mod begging to be made!

Thanks for the advise everyone! @trag: 264MB? I know what I'm getting! @Bunsen: Do you know why this is? Oh, thanks for the heads up! Any idea if I could do anything with the NuBus Slot? Looks good :approve:

It is the lower spec version. I haven't seen any Powerbooks with the better screen recently, although it would be nice to get.

I just scored a 17" Powerbook G4 running Leopard with the following specs off of eBay: 1.67 Ghz 100 GB HD 2 GB Ram Superdrive It also came with an AC Adapter and a nice carrying case. Price: $272 with shipping (Probably too high, but I sold my Dell Laptop and needed a replacement). I...

@Trash80toHP_Mini: I will probably use it anyways just for the reason that I have no other machines that work with it (Plus, it will save time, money and trouble, as a good video card is not as big of a deal to me as simply having two of them. If I find it too bad, I will probably add some...

Well, I have a 256K Cache installed right now, although I might max that out too, depending on preformence. So far, these are my plans: Install Mac OS 9 (If I find it suitable for the machine) Replace Internal CD-ROM Drive with a DVD-RAM Drive Connect to the Internet with a Twisted Ethernet...

Quick Update: My setup currently boots in a little over 1:30 with no other programs installed. After a quick youtube search, I saw a video of a 6100 running 9 that booted in 2 minutes flat (With a bunch of Programs Installed). I imagine that mine would boot in about the same time if I were to...

I thought so. Is there any middle ground (Acceptable OS for the machine) higher than 7.6.1?
