The arena of service manuals is a ripoff … do you own the rights to the service manuals you are peddling on ebay ? one thing the EU should sort out is free access to service manuals beyond the point at which these companys are prepared to service their products its ridiculous were exposed to getting them through third party dodgy websites.
anybody know where i can purchase or get my hands on pre-updated installer disks for mac os x
10.3.9 installer without the need for combo updater ie installs 10.3.9 direct from install DVD ?
10.4.11 installer without the need for combo updater ie installs 10.4.11 direct from install DVD ?
10.5.8 installer without the need for combo updater ie installs 10.5.8 direct from install DVD ?
10.6.8 installer without the need for combo updater ie installs 10.6.8 direct from install DVD ?
as at the moment half the disks I have can boot half the machines I need them too.
Just repaired my iMac G5 with complete boot failure, it all came down to capacitors, there was an industry wide use of sub standard/sub spec capacitors at the time the imac G5 was manufactured, due to a manufacturer using a capacitor recipe missing one ingredient, This caused the imac G5’s to fail at a much faster rate than they should have done, I had to replace half the capacitors in the power supply and 5 of the higher rated capacitors nearest the power supplies internal vent onto the logic board once this repair was affected, my machine worked perfectly.
take the cover of the back of you imac G5 and see whether your imac version has some led diagnostic lights and check whether the power diagnostic led light lights up properly when started, there are tutorials for this on the web also a light there that indicates whether gpu is communicating with the display properly. all led internal green lights should light up, apart from the right hand one of the four.
with your dar screen sleep light on symptoms it seems quite likely a surface mount BGA graphics chip failure, but to be honest it could also be a capacitor related issue, if your not into stripping the machine down and soldering capacitors then the machine for you is probably a right off, just try a pram reset boot before giving up, I had similar sleep light no boot scenario on a macbook pro, and a stripdown got it booting again.
the power supply in the imac G5 gets very hot and has no fan of its own and is dependant on the one internal motherboard fan, there is also no temp sensor for the power supply to give you an indicator as to how hot its getting, I feel the the heat venting from the overheating power supply internally is what cooked the capacitors nearest it, this is a flaw in the design of this machine.

Recognition of Border issues can ministers effectively gain control of the border ? now that they are in direct control?
Britain effectively ceased to exist as a sovereign entity on the 10th Dec 1991, with the signing of the Maastricht treaty, do not delude yourself otherwise, no country which cannot control which persons can enter its borders has control of their own country or any real sense of self determination. Britain was only great when is was sure of its own identity, and was culturally unified in purpose. Our overpopulated isle and your future native progeny are now fully exposed to competition with 800 million people, whose cultures maybe more agressive selfish and less civilised than your own.
This is disregarding the impact of the era of global mass immigration external to the EU into the UK over the last 40 years we have been living under the kosh of, that has compounded the struggling native englishmans situation further.
again apple dont warn user of requirements before download but messages beta is for lion upwards only, ie you download and attempt an install on SL 10.6, it says this programs requires an upgrade to 10.7, cant really see what framework is already in 10.7 it cant live without ? Apple becoming or become old microshaft ?
OSX mature you say ? are you on marketing drugs ? OSX has got bugs unfixed that were in the first version, mature only in the sense that it has embedded fetal bugs in its geriatric corpse, im not interested in a load of social networking flaff, or third party clone app ripoff (growl kicked in teeth) or bullshit tasks management being bundled into the os before they fix the bugs ? or weak sauce ios features bundled in, so far this looks like a lazy update, polish the bugs out of this operating system to within an inch of its life first before adding features.
1: no ability to set half the important settings except from a command line terminal ie, how about a gui to set umasks so collaborative working with files and new file created permissions isnt a nightmare ? and make it so its clear what has control or oerides ACL’s or POSIX ? (was possible in OS9)
2: the ability to create groups of users on the client version ? (was possible in OS9)
3: to be honest merge server and client versions, so that any version can work as a server, least that way I have access to the feature set I may need on any machine.
3b : Make it possible to logon onto different volumes with different permisions on the same machine, with different logins to that machine for each volume ? At he moment you only seems to be able to use one login to one machine ? third party apps can probably resolve this ?

I’ve just spent the best part of a month helping to halt the progress of SOPA and PIPA, registering my protest.
Only to discover today in my own jurisdiction here in the EU, that the UK government has just signed through ACTA !
what role did you have to play in the signing of ACTA ?
how did I not hear about this act similar to SOPA and PIPA going on in my own region ?
why was this not publicised ? how come this got signed out of the blue ?
