How much should a power supply for a macintosh G4 desktop computer cost?
How much should a power supply for a macintosh G4 desktop computer cost?

It depends on how many watts they are, they vary from machine to machine , but generally a power supply is about $50 machintosh being specialised could be more if you require an engineer to fit it, if it isnt still under warrenty. However, there are plenty of competent people capable of doign it if they can get the parts, Machintosh generaly only sell to licenced agents.

One needs a more powerful transformer – 75W or 100W will handle the Laptop.

The pointer is frozen. I started up with hardware test CD and every thing checked out ok. What should I do?

It may be a bad hard drive.

How do I open the DVD-CD compartment on an Apple Imac G4 desktop computer?

The computer is the type that comes in just one piece, what I meaned is the tower and monitor together and it has an slot where you put the DVD but I don’t know how to open it.

All you have to do is press the eject key on the keyboard, or drag the CD onscreen into the trash. The CD will just pop out. There is no button to press.
Good Luck!

Macintosh G4 Upgrade
Mac os 9……..?

I have a Mac os 10.4 (i think)
It’s an Ibook G4(if that has to do with anything)
and i got this computer game that
is VERY old
i’m talking 1994
and knowing macintosh, they come out with upgrades every 3 months
(exageration, but hey)
anyway, i can’t get the computer game to play without os 9 and they won’t let you download it offline. I tried downloading 9.1 and 9.2 so i could download 9.2.2 so i could use classics but none of it will work without just plain old os 9. Also, i got my computer used so it didn’t come with the Cd that includes classic support so i don’t know if i can get around that or if i’m going to have to buy the Cd that contains classic support. If you have ANY idea how to help PLEASE PLEASE HELP MEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The game came out during around 1st generation PPC or non-PPC Macs, and it was probably running on OS. 7 something.

Now you are talking about your Ibook G4, which came with OSX and Classic (9 something). You might be able to install 8.0 or 8.5 to be more compat with the game, but I’m not sure if that’d work (if you happen to find the OS installer).

BTW, what’s the name of the game?

My computer is a few years old and I don’t know if it will support wifi. I don’t have an airport card, but I have built-in ethernet and firewire.

Yes your system is capable of using a wireless LAN. I would suggest you purchase a USB type 802.11n wireless adapter. USB type are the simplest to install.
