  • yes, there are ways to make the computer not go to sleep: a. System Preferences > Energy Saver set the slider for "Sleep if inactive" to Never. b. leave iTunes playing in loop mode c. etc....... but I think that making the G5 sleep is OK, w…
  • I've been having the same problems, but I'm guessing that I'm doing something wrong. It usually happens when I make the DP G5 sleep after quitting all applications. The funny thing is that if you give it enugh time it will actually boot up bu it sel…

  • CJ: Sounds like your harddrive might be falty or something came loose after you put it back together. Try pressing the Option key while rebooting to see if the firmware finds a partition it can boot from. Luis
  • Can you install the copy of Panther that you just recieved onto an empty hard drive or does it have to have Jaguar in it??? I'm curious, I would like to order my Up-to Date package, only if I can install it onto an empty drive.
  • Thanks everyone, I zeroed out both drives to make sure, each one was ok, The OEM drive is actually stable now, no more beach ball when it´s connected. I don´t remember the drive being so loud, but at least it´s working now. I did try to erase the…
  • Zeroing out the drive finished in about 3 hours, now I'm trying to erase it using the 8 way random write option (Panther), but it seems to hang from the start, should I just stick to zeroing out the drive and making my partitions afterwards?? Tha…
  • Moogs: Yes any drive with a Serial ATA interface will work straight aout of the box (if the drive is OK). alcimedes: When I mentioned that drive hangs, I meant that it makes the Drive utility stall (beach ball and all). I zeroed out the 120G …
  • The OEM drive is faulty, I've tried to erase it with Disk Utility , with the options for Zero out the whole drive & the 8 way Random write, and the OEM drives always hangs and doesn't finish. Too bad I'm in Central America and there is no App…
  • the drive it self wakes up from sleep just fine. I'm beginig to think that it might be an issue with the drive that came with the machine. I get the same problem with X.2.8 and with Panther 7B74, whenever I'm working, browsing, etc, suddenly t…
  • Where in the manual does it say that it should be "jumpered" to cable-select, I must have missed that page, could you be so kind and tell me the page number, please. I'm taking about a brand new Dual G5 and an also brand new Maxtor SATA 120G hard dr…
  • I want ZSNES so much, because IMHO it's the fastes SNES emulator there is , it will allow you to run gmes at full speed & no hic-ups with a 200 MHz procesor. I'm willing to sit down and port all of the x86 assembly code in that project to PPC as…
  • Hey I´m think all that is needed is to recode the x86 assembly to PPC assembly, (I´m sure I can do it), as for the rest of the program is done in C. If someone here wants to help, lets do it. Or if somebody knows the people who are working on the Ma…
  • I've been doing erase installs since the WWDC , and the optimizations don't take that long (667 MHz PowerBook), I kind of find it snappy. I only have one complaint about the iDisk integration. I have an unrenewed .Mac account and if I click on th…
  • It's built into Panther, it list as one of the interfaces when you run ifconfig in the comman line, my guess is that it's gonna be announced when they officialy release it.
