My G5 (Leopard 10.5.8) is located in my guest room. I have a modern iMac located two rooms away that houses almost 25 years of digital music in the Music app. I want to Home Share on the G5 so I can see my iMac's library. Problem is when I sign into iTunes on the G5 (version 10.6.3) using my...

Patriot. 

I wish this was the case, but this is not true for me in the least. I can clone it, but it will not boot from it. There are posts on Apple's discussion boards that show many people have had issues with SATA III drives that are not seen or bootable using the on-board bus of the G5, and it's less...

I bought a couple of SSD's on sale over the holidays and thought that using one of them to replace the 160GB drive in my June 2004 G5 might be fun. Both of the SSD's I chose are easily seen and managed by disk utility, but neither will boot after using CCC to clone them. In researching this, it...

Update: I found a Dual-Link DVI Radeon 9560 on eBay for a reasonable price. 

I just got a replacement power supply for my 30 inch Cinema HD display (They're finally down to reasonable prices on eBay if anyone is looking for one) but I didn't realize my only G5 doesn't have a Dual Link DVI card, so it can't drive the display at the native resolution.  Does anyone know...

I believe that this a pre-1990-ish model, as it does not have an alphanumeric serial number, but I don't know a lot about ImageWriter serial decoding. 

Now that you guys mention it, yep, definitely @haplain's W.A.L.T. - the 1.01a handwriting matches.  Glad to see that they were able to get the hard drive up and running! Hap, you gotta get a copy of that HD made before it croaks permanently! 

http://sonnydickson.com/2019/04/09/video-of-apples-w-a-l-t-in-action-the-1993-edition-iphone/ I don't know if anyone else saw this, but I thought I'd post it here since it's technically a 68K Powerbook (side note: We should probably have a forum dedicated to discussion of unreleased...

In the back pages of MacAddict circa 2000-2001, you could still buy brand new LC 5xx and PowerMac 5xxx machines from third party sellers for less than their shipping costs. 

Once a Lithium Ion battery has deep discharged, it's pretty much done for.  Why not just send it to Batteryrefill.com for a refurbishment?  http://www.batteryrefill.com/laptops/apple/

Charadis just sold the 550c on eBay last weekend. It went for $550.  Check completed auctions and you can find it :)

I ask because I accidentally tore mine the other day when performing a HD swap. Now it's pretty much useless until I can find another one. Short of buying another 5xx, any idea if there is a replacement for it? I checked eBay, but didn't find one.

I'd like to put together a thread to gather information on a couple of PowerBook 5300 accessories that may or may not exist, and may or may not have seen the light of day. Read on to gather what I've found.  Documented by former Apple engineers in the book, AppleDesign: The Work of the Apple...

Hey, @haplain Any update on the WALT?  My guess was going to be that if you tried to start it with Extensions off, it wouldn't have loaded the WALT software. 

Never repaired it. I'm still on the hunt for a decently priced Bose base. No parts for sale at this time, sorry.

Yeah, mine came in about 50 plastic pieces, basically unrepairable, because the seller used almost no packing material. OP, ask the seller to use LOTS of the larger bubble wrap around it, for impact absorption. You don't want to end up with one that looks like mine :(  ...

Thank you! They are so hard to find in decent condition, and for a non-ridiculous price. 

I've been hunting this baby down for years. There's one seller on eBay that tries to sell extremely hideous modified iBooks as "Pre-production" or "Special Edition" models, but they're just ugly and overpriced.  Yesterday, in my weekly eBay browse, I finally saw it: A lime iBook G3 for sale...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will try WD-40 and some continual prying to see if I can get it free. I am very wary of Goo Gone, as I've had previous bad experiences with using it on plastic.
