Dan,
Thanks. I installed NNW for Tiger and it works fine EXCEPT it didn't
import all my feeds. Also, I cannot figure out how to import starred
items. I imported Google Reader info via Google Takeout and though NNW
retained my folders, it didn't import all the feeds in the
folders.Google Takeout contains a .json file for the starred items, but
NNW cannot parse it. I tried converting .json to .xml but was not
successful. Would greatly appreciate any help in this matter
Cheers, Les

Didn't know it could. lol. But now that I look, I see the import
item. Did you properly export things from your old reader?

No idea. I never used Google Reader. Given the age of the beasts
involved, I'm not surprised that the ancient NNW doesn't handle the
new Reader exports. *shrug* So go to the web sites and re-subscribe
to your feeds.

Not true. No Apple system ever required you have the preevious system version installed and updated until 10.7 (which required 10.6.8 for access to the App Store) You can install 10.4 on a completely blank disk.

> Should it be , I don`t know how to upgrade to to 10.3.9. Any help appreciated.


If you DO what to update to 10.3.9, just download the combo updater from apple: <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL496>

I have a G5 running 10.5.8 with two 23" cinema displays attached. Or I did.
Yesterday one of the two displays just suddenly went dark, like blowing out
a candle. Nothing I could do would bring it back, so I have to assume it's
dead and gone. (If anyone has any thoughts about why this happened, I'd
love to hear them, but that's not the problem I'm having right now.)


I disconnected the dead monitor and all its cables from the Mac. There is
now only one monitor attached to the Mac. However, the Mac still thinks
there are two monitors attached to it.


In the System Prefs panel for Displays, under the Arrange tab, it still
shows a small (imaginary) monitor beside the large (real) one. It lets me
arrange this little imaginary monitor anywhere I want to around the big
one, but the little monitor doesn't really exist. Yet the Mac acts like it
does. When I open some windows, they go off the visible screen and open
somewhere on the invisible one, on the non-existent monitor, and I can't
get at them.


I've tried everything I know to get rid of this second, invisible monitor:
I repaired the permissions with Disk Utility, threw away the System prefs,
logged in as a different account, did a Safe Boot, and even ran Disk
Warrior through the disk. I tried attaching the monitor's connector to the
other of the two video ports.


Nothing makes any difference. Every time I go to the Monitors panel, it
still shows a small, nonexistent monitor next to the real one, and windows
still keep opening offscreen, on what the Mac thinks is another monitor.


Any ideas how I can convince this Mac that it only has one monitor attached
to it?


Tom

LCD monitors (and many electronics devices built around 2003-2005) suffer
from the "bad capacitors plague":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

You can google "23 cinema display capacitors" and see if some page helps you
troubleshooting your problem.

> I disconnected the dead monitor and all its cables from the Mac.

Are you sure there's no adapter still connected to the video card?
It may trick the card into thinking a monitor is still there.

Using the display menulet (the icon on the top menu bar), can you change the
resolution of the "ghost" monitor, to a smaller one?
This way, windows opening there might be still visible on the main monitor
and movable.

That's the best that I can think of right now. :-)


Of course, if you have a real, working second monitor around, you might
connect that one, moving the new windows onto your main screen, and
disconnect it to see if the problem goes away.
If you have a friend nearby with a lousy PC, this may be the time the PC
turns out useful. ;-)

Hi

Have you tried resetting the pram, if this doesn't work try mirroring you will at least be able to see your missing windows.

Have Fun

Hi all,

Where can I find the mpn for this 1.8ghz processor, please?

Would there be more than one compatible cpu?

My dual 1.8 g5 has the top cpu not working and I would like to
replace it to bring the beast back to dual cpu status.

It was sold as dual 1.8 but now runs with only one.

<http://www.appleserialnumberinfo.com/Desktop/index.php> marks it as
having dual 1.8 cpus.

System profiler says cpus=1

The Processor prefpane says "error - unable to load processor"

iStat give fan speeds of 1000rpm for cpu-B but only 300 for all the
cpu-A fans.

I don't know which eMac you have, but I bought a used eMac G4, 1.25GHz several years ago. Loved it as i had my SE30 * back in '93.
My wife has used it for her eMail these past three years. I had upgraded it to OS10.5.8 (Leopard) way back when. It's a great OS and very stable. I recommend it with out any reservations. I bought an eMac 10.5 install disk for it several years ago. and did the upgrade to 10.5.8.
The only minor problem that I had was having to upgrade Apple Works from ver 6.2.7 to 6.2.9. The good thing is. it will run Quicken 7. The last good Money Management app they made. So saying I have put OS10.5.8 on my Quicksilver and Quicken 7. Since it's not connected to the internet, I keep all our finances, investments, income tax and password list on it.
The "Quicken Essentials" SW, sucks in my estimation.

I'm not positive of this, but I'm about 95% sure your problem is different than you think.
These G5 PowerMacs came in two distinct configurations that both used the term "dual".

There were earlier versions with one dual-core CPU, and later versions with two single-core CPUs, and BOTH these are referred to by Apple a "dual". I believe your earlier 2004 PowerMac G5 has one dual-core CPU rather than two single-core CPUs.

Your problem may be simple or hard to solve. You might be able to re-seat the CPU to regain full dual-core functionality? It's possible, but unlikely, that single-core function has been set in software, and full dual-core can be restored via a software fix, perhaps as simple as a PRAM/NVRAM reset? There's also the Apple Service Diagnostic boot disc that may have the ability to set CPU function via software? These would be the "simple" fixes.

The "hard" fixes would be that your CPU or motherboard has a hardware problem. Replacing the CPU chip would be required if the CPU were bad, or the motherboard if the motherboard were bad. Troubleshooting this could be difficult because you'd need a "known good" CPU or motherboard to figure out which was bad.

I'd try a "simple" fix, and if you can't fix it, I think you're probably best using it as a single CPU unit rather than spending time & money repairing it. Spending time & money on a G5 PowerMac isn't economically sound on any basis, you'd be better off selling the G5 for parts and getting a cheap Intel hackintosh. You could buy an entire computer for less than the cost of repairing one core on this G5.

Apart from resetting the PRAM, I could think of some other things--others
may correct me:
1. Look for Display Preferences in User/Library/Preferences and delete the
file (I don't know the name) or move it out of the folder
I know, you already logged in as a different user; I'm just brainstorming...
2. Click the button "Detect Displays" in the System Preferences/Displays
and see if that triggers the right reaction
3. As a last resort, Glen's suggestion to switch to Mirror mode would at
least give you proper control.

What does the System Profiler (About this Mac, More info...) report in the
Video/Displays section?

The same issue with 10.8.2 on a Mac Mini was posted here, alas with no
solution yet:

The only dual core G5 CPUs were used in the very last series of Power Mac G5, offered in single processor 2 and 2.3GHz, as well as the dual processor &quot;quad 2.5GHz&quot;. The mid 2004 PowerMac G5s used dual single core processors, offered as dual 1.8, dual 2.0, and dual 2.5GHz (a single processor 1.8GHz model was offered starting later that year). I've heard of dual processor PMG5s running on only one processor before. Has the OP tried running AHT or ASD yet?-Adam&nbsp;&nbsp;

Kris, Adam

Thanks for your response.
On closer inspection it does seem to have 2 single cpus and I assume
the upper one is not working going by the fan speeds - 300rpm upper,
1000rpm lower.
When my other half lets me get at the machine I'll try the simple
fixes - pram reset and see what I can glean for any nvram optins.
I don't have AHT nor ASD.
Is AHT available to download & burn?

I don't know what a capacitor looks like, Kris. But I'll do a little
research and try to learn. Maybe it can be replaced. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the help everybody, on both how to make the Mac forget the
imaginary monitor and how to troubleshoot the real but dead one.

I zapped the PRAM, and it fixed the problem. Now the Mac knows it only has
one monitor connected to it.

Alex first sent me the suggestion to zap the PRAM, and I had actually
thought about doing that earlier, but had forgotten what keys to hold on
restart. I got out David Pogue's big thick book called "Mac OS-X Leopard,
The Missing Manual," but it says not a single word about the PRAM. I tried
to look up PRAM in the book's index, but it's not there--not under P, not
under R for Resetting the Pram, nor Z for Zapping the PRAM, nor is it
mentioned anywhere in the book's extensive Troubleshooting section--in
fact, I can't find a single mention of PRAM anywhere in this huge (894
page) book, supposedly written by a Mac expert. How do you figure that?


So anyway, I went online and looked up how to do it, zapped the PRAM, and
now all is well.


Now to try to figure out what happened to the monitor that went kablooey.


Thanks again all.


Tom

Well at least you got the G5 sorted. IMHO, the monitor will need a recap. If
you don't have much experience soldering, I would ask a friend. If you can't
find capacitors with the same value, you can go up in voltage. Good luck!

Silly question, have you checked the power brick? I ask this because a professor where I work went though two of them before he demanded that Apple replace the little one with the 23" with the larger one for the 30" and he hasn't had a problem since.

This is such as (cosmetically) beautiful monitor that I hate to chuck it,
but I don't know anything about popped caps. Guess I'll hang onto it a
while, in the hope that somebody can help me with it, or I can learn how to
do it myself.

To show you how old I am, the only caps I ever popped before this were in a
toy pistol I had when I played Cowboys and Indians as a kid (I guess that's
politically incorrect now).

Capacitors, (caps), are notorious for having a shortened life in solid state monitors, TVs etc. It almost seems that they were purposely under-engineered. Caps are cheap and it will be obvious upon disassembly which ones have failed.

Bruce, I did download the upgrade. It went in flawlessly. I saw a note that
suggested upgrading Java,which I did. ( To stop Safari from dropping.)

Nothing I did corrected this Safari problem. A search from another of my
computers revealed that is was a problem,and Apple was dending patches.
I have been unable to find these patches. In order to use Safari, I had to
go back to 10.3.3,the original OS. It works well. I wou;ld like to have
10.3.9
if that is possible WITH Safari.!0.3.9 works well EXCEPT for Safari.
Cheers

It didn't help that for several years in the early to mid 2000's a case of botched industrial espionage resulted in a flood of substandard capacitors in the market :

Yeah but big outfits like Samsung should have made good on some of the monitors that failed right after the warranty ended. It's just a bad way of doing business and now I avoid Samsung products like the plague...

Use tenfourfox for your browser under 10.3.9. It is much better than Safari
on PPC systems.

Alas, TenFourFox will not run on 10.3. The lowest OS I support is 10.4.11.
10.3 lacks the secret CoreText which the font code relies upon, and the
OS libraries are not advanced enough to support the browser as written.

No solutions here, I'm sorry, but I can say that I switched to 10.4 from
10.3 years ago (on a G4), and I liked 10.4 more.
10.4 wasn't any slower than 10.3 (perhaps even a little bit faster
sometimes), and it gave me much more software compatibility and some nice
added features.
Really stable and efficient OSX version.

So, unless you have specific issues against it, I'd suggest going for 10.4.

Yes, because Tiger is stable, a little faster than 10.3 and many programs
require 10.4.11 to run.
And yes, TenFourFox is great for that (the name reads "10.4 Fox") and has
optimized versions for G3 and two different G4 processors.
Another browser: Camino is more Mac-like and works well, too.

Hi,

I just installed TenFour Fox but that browser uses an old set of bookmarks
which I don't use any more. How can I update those bookmarks i.e. replace
them with my current Camino bookmarks? Can I point TenFour Fox to the
Camino bookmarks?

TIA for your help.

Best regards, Jörg.

Camino should support exporting bookmarks; but afaik, stores it's bookmarks as a single html file called bookmarks.html in your Camino profile, which should be in your user library somewhere.

I don't know if TenFourFox uses the same scheme modern firefox uses for bookmarks (where they're stores in an sqlite database, not a file) if it uses the bookmarks,html file you can probably just replace it with the desired one. If not you can use the bookmark manager to delete all your bokmarks and import them from Caminos bookmarks.html file.

Hi Bruce,

I had tried everything you told me already but nothing worked. My original
Firefox (ver. 3.6.13) looks exactly the same like TenFourFox. I just opened
it and it displayed the same tabs/windows that I had open when I quit
TenFourFox.

So I tried again to import the Safari bookmarks via the menu Import... and
clicked Safari. Firefox told my it's done it but when I look in its
Bookmarks menu I see a folder named Safari which is empty. No cigar.

Also the site XE.com doesnt display its currency chart, in the chart field
is the message that I need to enable JavaScript and need Flash. But all
other sites display Flash videos OK and JavaScript is on. I cannot use most
Extensions though.

What is the difference between Firefox and TenFourFox? It doesn't seem
faster than Firefox and videos play a lot worse than in Camino.

Best regards, Jörg.
