Ceritanya begini…saya punya iMac G4-700MHz Sunflower…kalo lihat di www.everymac.com iMac ini gak bisa diinstall Leopard..mentok cuman sampe 10.4.11 (Tiger)…karena requirement untuk install Leopard minimal punya kecepatan 867MHz…
Tapi saya kepingin merasakan Leopard 10.5 di iMac G4 tanpa harus repot2 lepas harddisk atau pun install melalui firewire (sistem Target Disk)…

Akhirnya dapat juga “Cara install Leopard di mesin PPC G4 dibawah 867MHz”…tapi link-nya udah lupa..tapi saya sempat meng-copy paste cara-caranya…

Caranya mudah seperti ini :
1). Masukkan DVD instalasi Leopard di drive DVD
2). Re-start MAC (restart doang..gak pilih DVD Leopard sebagai start-up disk)
3). Setelah kedengaran bunyi chime (deeennggg – khasnya MAC), langsung tekan COMMAND+OPTION+O+F sampe keluar layar putih/abu-abu dengan tulisan-tulisan warna hitam…
4). lalu tulis (harus tepat spasi maupun tanda baca) seperti ini :
     dev /cpus/PowerPC,G4@0
     d# 867000000 encode-int ” clock-frequency” property
     d# 867000000 encode-int ” min-clock-frequency” property 
     d# 867000000 encode-int ” max-clock-frequency” property
     multi-boot
(setiap abis nulis satu line diatas..tekan tuts “return”..kalo cara nulisnya benar, akan muncul konfirmasi “ok”..)
5). Kemudian pilih DVD instalasi Leopard
6). Selanjutnya tinggal ikutin aja petunjuk dari DVD instalasi Leopard itu sampe selesai.

Sekarang iMac G4-700MHz Sunflower kepunyaanku sudah sukses ter-install Leopard 10.5.6…

Mudah2an tips ini gak re-post dan bisa bermanfaat utk teman2…

Semoga bermanfaat.

How To: Hackintosh a Dell Mini 9 Into the Ultimate OS X Netbook

By John Mahoney, 12:00 PM on Sat Feb 21 2009, 206,693 views

digg_skin = ‘compact’;digg_bgcolor = ‘#F1F8FA’;digg_url = ‘http://i.gizmodo.com/5156903/how-to-hackintosh-a-dell-mini-9-into-the-ultimate-os-x-netbook’;

I am typing this on a 9-inch, 3G-equipped, almost-pocketable computer, running the best consumer OS money can currently buy. It costs around $400. Do you want one too? Here’s how to get yours.

There are a lot of netbooks on which you can install and run OS X, but if you’re mindful of the handy comparison chart those lads at Boing Boing Gadgets have compiled, you’ll know that the Mini 9 is about as ideal a platform as you’ll find for a Hackintosh ultraportable: Everything from wi-fi, sound and the function keys down to the optional integrated mobile broadband card and the SD card reader are supported and work as they should. No hardware compromises at all. It’s awesome.

Generally, there are two ways to approach a Hackintosh install: Using a “slipstreamed” OS X installer image that’s been modified to install on non-Apple hardware, or using a $129 factory-fresh retail OS X install disk in tandem with a special bootloader that does the necessary tweaking to let the install happen. The former can be easy enough, but it’s pretty much illegal since it contains a pirated OS X install disk, and on top of that you’ll run into all kinds of problems should you ever want to upgrade your OS or software via Software Update.

By using a retail OS X disk, you stay mostly out of pirate waters, and ensure that once everything’s up and running, you’ll be as close as is possible to having an actual Mac. Here we’re doing that, using a method referred to as the “Type11″ install, cooked up by a fellow of the same handle and his colleagues over on the MyDellMini forums, a fantastic resource.

Even though we’re using a standard retail-purchased copy of OS X, the disclaimer: Apple does not like Hackintoshing. It violates the OS X EULA, and probably won’t make the Dell folks too happy either, should you need to return your hacked Mini 9 for service. So, as always, proceed at your own risk.

On a personal note let me tell you, it’s worth it. The Mini 9 is a beautiful OS X machine. So let’s get started.

What You’ll Need

• Dell Mini 9 With 16GB SSD or higher (8GB SSDs will techincally work, but it will take some fiddling not covered by this guide)

• Retail copy of OS X 10.5.x (NOT an OEM copy that comes with a new Mac)

• A USB flash drive 8GB or higher

• An external USB DVD drive

• The “Type11″ Bootloader: DellMiniBoot123v8.01.iso.zip (download link in this forum post)

• Blank CD to burn bootloader image (I actually used version 8.0 of Type11 on my CD-if your boot process with 8.01 is different than what’s spelled out in this guide, you can download 8.0 here. Both should work.)

• Windows PC for preparing the flash drive (if DVD drive works fine, this is optional)

“Go Green” With Your Mac’s Energy Saver Icon

So, you are jealous that the spiffy new NVidia powered Macs have special energy saver bulb icon? Here is how you can replace that incandescent light bulb icon with Apple’s new “greener” one.

First download the energy saver bulb icon here.

Then navigate to the root level of your hard drive System – Library – PreferencePanes

Right click on the EnergySaver.prefPane then select Show Package Contents.

In the package then select Contents then Resources. In there you will see a file called EnergySaver.icns. Drag the file you downloaded above to that folder and with your username and password authorize the item replacement.

Once that is done, close all open windows and navigate to your user folder, then open Library, then Caches. In that folder delete the file called com.apple.preferencepanes.cache.

When you open the System Preferences, you will have the new Energy Saver icon. Enjoy my Mac fanatics. If anybody conjures up a neat little AppleScript, please feel free to email it to me to post for everyone to use!

Tablet PC, Mac style: a review of the Axiotron ModBook

A solution in search of a problem?

The rumors of the Modbook’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Introduced in January of 2007 at the Macworld Expo, Axiotron‘s modified MacBook caught the attention of many Mac users who had been waiting for Apple to introduce its own tablet-like machine—particularly artists and graphic professionals.

Unfortunately, Axiotron encountered a number of setbacks throughout 2007 that ultimately caused the ModBook to be delayed for a year, causing some to write off the ModBook as vaporware. At Macworld 2008, Axiotron CEO Andreas Haas spoke with us about what caused the delays, why the company chose to go ahead with a Mac-based tablet, and what the future looked like for the ModBook.

With Axiotron fulfilling all of its backed-up preorders and catching up on orders from Macworld, the company is finally on track and has a shipping product. Without any official tablet-like product from Apple, the ModBook is the only machine of its kind that runs Mac OS X, and it’s the perfect time to put one through its paces.

Out of the box

The ModBook comes to you in its original MacBook packaging, so the “unboxing” experience is extremely similar to any other MacBook from Apple. In addition to the machine itself, a packet of system discs, and the power supply, the ModBook also comes with one extra stylus and a small package full of stylus tips.

Mac OS X seller (not Apple) disappears after reports

An entrepreneurial Mac vendor has gone offline just hours after it was discovered selling Mac OS X Leopard desktops from a company not named Apple.

MacRumors.com, along with many others, noted one of those too-good-to-be-true deals from a company called Psystar on Sunday night and Monday morning. Psystar, until just now, had been offering $554 “Open Mac” desktops on its Web site with Intel processors, 2GB of memory, a DVD drive, and a copy of Mac OS X Leopard.
