You will also probably want to repartition it to GUID instead of Master Boot Record. Otherwise you may have some strange problems, especially if you want to use Time Machine.

After loading the OS, create a dummy user with a different name than any user you had on the system. Mount the disk image, then go to applications/utilities/migration assistant and migration assistant will put everything back like it was, even your apps.

The eMac will run 10.4.11. But with only a cd rom you'll have to make an image of a 10.4.6 retail installer onto an external HD and do a firewire install. This is unless you can target disk mode a mac to it that has a dvd rom or better. The ibook isn't worth it. Most are vintage and many I see...

You can also use disk utility to create an image of the drive. Just plug in your external HD to have a place to save the .dmg file.

I'd suspect something in the user profile came across. What happens in another user account?

Create a dummy user account on the iMac meaning an account with a different name than any of the accounts you are transferring from the G4. Also this account can be scrapped when the process is complete. You will need either a firewire 400 or firewire 400/800 cable depending on which firewire...

Usually rebuilding the mailbox will get rid of those. Had one customer describe them as "ghosties". Just click on the folder/mailbox and select mailbox->rebuild. They should be automatically deleted.

I'd suspect you improperly deleted the app. Many apps can just be dragged to the trash and deleted. But others actually have install/uninstall scripts that need to be ran to delete every instance of the app. The best thing to do is to re-download the app and possibly even re-install to see if...

P.E.B.K.A.C error. Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair

Once the directory structure is hosed, the drive may need a lot of software work to be done to make it bootable again. Some of the Intel Minis had a problem with Hynix RAM. But I don't think yours was one of those since you had one of the original Intel Minis.

It very well could be the slot itself the disk pops out of. I've had to replace a few of those over the years. Sometimes they can be "widened" back. It requires removal of the optical drive because the piece is attached to the optical drive.

There is a much better way to do this than drag and drop. Maybe you should consider a different method. What are you trying to achieve?

The HD was corrupted by the bad RAM. The HD may have not needed replacing, but considering the age of the machine and that being the original drive is was on borrowed time.

Looks like bad RAM or it just not properly seated. Probably one out of every five to ten memory upgrades I do turns out a bad chip or one the works in one machine but not another of the exact same configuration.

If the same RAM does work in 2 of the slots and is not posting in the other 2 it is more than likely the logic board. I've seen this on more than one occasion with these G5s.

It would be nice to know the distances of all computers including obstructions like walls, floors, material of each from the wireless access point. Plus you need to check for interferences from other equipment that might be next to the iMac.

Still need to check for updates for Office as well. Just because OSX is updated has nothing to do with Office.

Seeing how you are running 10.6.2 when currently OSX is updated to 10.6.6, I'd bet its also been a while since you've ran any Office updates. Get OSX up to version 10.6.6 and run all of the Office updates and see if that helps.

Still could be a failing HD. First thing to do is to back up your important files. Another thing to try is to try or create another user account. Log into that account and try the browser(s) and see if it happens in that other account.

Yes, something is overheating and causing the shutdowns. It actually could even be the power supply itself. Those fans speeds are much higher than they should be. I'd suspect either HD, PSU, or graphics card. I am a certified tech at an Apple shop. Since AHT is flagging an error the Apple...
