Power Mac G4 Quicksilver Restore & 'Clean' | IMNC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- It's time I sold the last Quicksilver. I purchased a few of these prior to my Power Hack G4 Build series to have access to as many spare parts as possible. I didn't take much from this machine so getting it back up and running was pretty simple. I don't need another Power Mac so this is up for grabs on eBay ready for a new owner:

I just spent a day removing scratches from my G4 MDD. I used various grades of wet & dry paper, followed by a rotary polishing tool with some car headlight polishing compound. Came out like new. Literally no more scratches, even when viewed with a torch.
I've been using mine for 20 years now, never failed - Ever Silver door/ Duel core 1.47 Ghz / 2 Gbs ram/ 500 Gb HDD / OS 10.5 !

The Mac Guy fuck the kids! Tiger intro is more important! - IMNC logic.
(By the way, I’m joking, I’m sure IMNC is a very loving father)
So glad we won this on eBay, and even more glad that me and my son got to pick it up from you in person and meet you!! Yes, it was a 500 mile round trip, but hey ho ;) !!
To find the system specs from an OS X installer, click utilities and then System Profiler (instead of Disk Utility). It works from the Tiger installer to El Capitan installer. Love your videos, Tom!
Hi Tom, It's quite good fun revisiting your videos. I still have a lot of PPC macs to get rid off so this is a reminder to get rid off come of my vintage stuff.
Damn Tom, back at it with the frequent uploads!
hello my MDD is now power up and working thanks for your video, the problem before is the power supply, i converted AXT and put it inside the housing of MDD power supply.
That ending was fantastic.
Hey Tom I've been watching your channel since the Gaming PC build video and I have to say that you rock man keep up the good work and thanks for the content :D
Wow, I still have my G4 and I remember coming to you when I had to help a friend with his laptop. You were using a program to mirror a copy of a laptop disk to a main computer (or the other way)
Sad to see it go away.
34 minutes of IMNC yes please.
BTW, to get the white scratches off, use a mr.clean eraser. They work really well on taking those kind of scratches off.
Dear It's My Natural Colour,
I have loved this video.
Me too, I am gonna have a Power Macintosh G4 Quicksilver tomorrow evening, with a keyboard, mouse and a 23 inches flat monitor. According to its current owner, it also has a PowerPC G4 CPU clocked to 800 MHz, 256 MB of RAM, a 80 GB hard drive and a NVidia GeForce 2 MX graphics card with 32 MB of dedicaded video memory.
Yours.
Thank You very much for the tutorial!
It worked perfect on my eMac, Microsoft optical mouse & dell keyboard !!!
Hey Tom, thank you for all your great videos on these venerable and loved machines. Really enjoyed the PowerMac Quicksilver hackintosh and also worlds fastest BW G3. So my question is have you ever considered hardware for a worlds fastest PowerMac G4 800 Quicksilver? Kind of in the same style as the BW G3 but with the 1999 beast. Curious to your thoughts.
Chris
I am happy to report that as of May 2018, the Software Update servers for Tiger are still active 😁
June 2019... still working!
Luis Niels does it still work in July? I’m gonna need it.
@@Plainapple287 yes, it is working now
It's still working in April 2021.
Hi Tom, Do you have any ideas on how to remove light scratched and polish an imac g3? love your videos they are really great! keep up the awesome work. Best of luck with the move hope everything speeds up for you
Hi ItsMyNaturalColour I'm new to your channel but I am really enjoying your videos keep up the great work !

Hi Tom, I too have the same G4 which has the power board problem. I can't source this board anywhere on the web I've looked. Any help or ideas please. Thanks.
I am happy to report as of March 20th, 2020 that the update server for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is still up and operational!!!
Ohh, love the new channel art tom!
I just got one of these at my job, they were throwing it away, I want to upgrade all the parts, i wonder if AMD Ryzen 1800x would work
1 year late but, not at all
I like what you did with the outro tom!
march 2019 and tiger update servers are STILL ACTIVE
good to hear, because i plan to restore a g4 soon :)
Hi how do you do that factory setting thing my friend has a old Mac and he does not have a OS X disk And he can't get into it because there is a password so can you please tell me the steps how to do the Apple set up thing thanks 😊
are you welsh by any chance? sounds like it
Awesome video, dude! Keep up the good work.
Use surgical spirit (from Boots) for the tape. It worked for me.
Awesome video Tom. For anyone wondering there is is an official Sub Reddit for IMNC. If you go onto Reddit and search itsmynaturalcolour you will find the subreddit. Sorry I can't post links due to UA-cam Spam filter.
Found one of these in the garbage a few months ago and haven't gotten around to seeing what's wrong with it
It is possible to use carbon copy cloner to clone the iMacs leopard hard drive to the powermac G4 and then you have leopard on the powermac G4
WD-40 is PTFE, not oil. Just wanted to joint that out; it's more of a water expulsion agent than a lubricant.
+unlokia Indeed. WD stands for water displacer and therefore is a degreaser not a lubricant
tom was your old channel called toms773smith
Hi there I have a power Mac g4 running os 9.1. Can i upgrade to Tiger? How do I save all my data? Thanks
I have this PC, original mouse, original keyboard and original monitor. I am playing wolfenstein return to the castle wolfenstein on it.
do you still have that disc? I have a power mac g4 but I don't know the password or username to log in. same model.
I've got 2 G4s, a Quicksilver 933MHz and a Dual 1.25 MDD. Selling the MDD as it can't run OS 9 and therefore I don't want it.
V. Sigma if it was a fw400, it's possible, only fw800 is impossible afaik
The System Profiler can be accessed from the Utilities menu on the Tiger Install DVD. XD
Hello! Why you not use the Amiga Based Morphos for the PPC Architecture?
It’s a Mac. Most macs are on Mac OS
Hello to you! I'm close to being desperate! I use a G4 for several years, I run my "Ipod", my music (I am musician, amateur, but musician anyway), etc, and this morning it does not turn on at all. I do not understand why!?! I was wondering if anyone here had an idea of why, or if there is perhaps a reset button to press or something to fix perhaps the thing, let say, easily? I did not find one. Thank you very much in advance for your attention to my problem. Sylvain; Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
what is the Problem when the Powermac G4 only makes a "bing" and only Shows the Apple logo.Can't open DVD, can't see mouse and can't do anything.Can you help me?
hello because when I'm almost at the end of the installation, the bar does not run anymore, it stays stuck and from there it does not pass and after 10 minutes a message appears on the screen saying that I have to restart the PC and either squeezing power or the restart votum help please
Did anyone else notice that the display type was apparently a CRT monitor according to the graphics card in system profiler
Great informative video!
Those gymnasts that do triple backflip with a twist and land on two feet then they do that “ta da” at the end? Nothing comes close to that one handed backward power switch install with a twisted wrist flourish. Next time I want to see a ta da.
If anyone can please help: I got a Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) yesterday and it worked fine for awhile until after I connected my external HDD. I turned off the system while the HDD was still plugged in, then unplugged, then rebooted the system as normal, only for it to give me the question mark Finder icon.
I tried pressing Command(alt)+R to enter the same menu that this guy goes into, but it only gives me the two buttons to the side and nothing else. Any help would be appreciated!! 😁

I'm installing OS X Tiger on my Mac Mini G4 as watching this video
Big up!!!
Tiger Aqua and Mavericks look far better than material design, to be honest
can this run os x 10.6? i have the same except its the graphite model and a os x reinstall
+Kashmere Kolwolski so that means you can over lock the mac?
Maximum it can run is 10.5.8 Leopard which was the last release of OS X for PPC.
For tape, goo gone or let it dissolve in olive oil.
thos are my favorite systems
how can download mac os x tiger for ppc?
how to conect to a lcd monitor_?
"Thanks, for the info.
I want to buy a power pc Mac I'm thinking a G5 or a G4 I need to know which one
+HES BEHIND YOU Just to surf the Web and simple music listening but I need one for sort of editing bit I can use my pc for that
+Jack Waterhouse A G5 will be better for browsing the web, go with at least a dual-processor 2 GHz.
+Jack Waterhouse i have a g4 imac and browsing nah slow only for wikipedia also a g5 is bad you can better buy a other computer
Tom?
simple hold down the C key to boot the installer everybody knows that! or you didn't get the memo hehe
Can we insert pendrive
With it being USB 1.0 it is only really suitable for mouse and keyboard. External Drive read/write is dog slow.

Is this an okay build to run most games-
_ Power Supply EVGA Supernova 550
_ CPU AMD FX8350 Black Edition 8 Core Processor
_ ATX Motherboard MSI 970 Gaming AMD AM3
_ RAM / Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB
_ Graphics/video card MSI AMD R9 380 Gaming Graphics Card
_ Cooling / fans corsair sp120
_ Sound card Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX PCIe 5.1
_ Hard drive(s) 1TB Desktop
+Mister Gruesome Nothing wrong with it but may be worth going for an Intel CPU instead - AMD's CPUs haven't seen a proper update in quite some time and are starting to fall behind a fair bit.
Joel Nichols
That means i need a mother board right? its my first ever build and im going for a budget gaming pc
+Mister Gruesome It would yeah. What's your budget? If you're new to this I wholeheartedly recommend LogicalIncrements.com - it gives some really good build advice.
Its about 1000-1100 so i dont realy know if i cand afford an intel core
Trust me, that's plenty to get an i5 in.
I have a G4 quicksilver that was owned by David Gilmore from pink floyd
