Specifically, I plan to install it as a bootable partition on an external drive.Īccording to this OS compatibility chart, the oldest version of the OS that can be run on my laptop is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. To avoid having to keep a decade+ old desktop computer set up in my house, I was hoping there might be an OS version compatible with my MacBook Pro that I could install that had a still-compatible version of iTunes. My primary machine is a 2015 "Core i7" MacBook Pro (model MacBookPro11,4). Current versions of iTunes no longer support this device, so I'm using an older Mac to sync my music, using iTunes 10.5.2. If someone is able to solder small wires to those ports etc.I have an 6th generation iPod Classic (model MC297LL). The guy "PML7554" showed a picture where he used parts of the old mainboard of the G4 and soldered cables for ethernet, sound ports and I/O power button so he can connect it to the mainboard of his Mac Mini late 2014. On Macrumors I found a thread where someone put a Mac Mini M1 inside his iMac G4 and there commented few people. I also want to reuse the original audio ports (also the 2.5mm for the iMac speakers) and the I/O power button. Put in the mainboard of the Mac Mini inside the iMac G4.Maybe exchange the display panel with one form a iMac G5 20'' as I read in ersterhernd's thread "Esterhernds iMac G5 (iSight 20 A1145) Project" that those panels are quite the same.I want to reuse the sleep LED, if somehow I can connect this to the one of the Mac Mini that would be great!.Probably you can help me figure out how to add this. ![]() Saw from MacTester57 also this nice solution with that touch panels under the dome.

Figure how to adjust background lights to lighter and darker.Fixing those signal interference: I changed the 20cm HDMI cable to a longer, now I have a buggy picture (you see it in the darker areas of the screen and also only appears on dark places on the screen like boot screen, screensaver, video etc.).Beautiful eye catcher even if it's not finished yet. The iMac is now running connected to the Mac Mini late 2012, which I connected those iMac speakers with an old Griffin iFire I found back then. Big help was the schematics from that Youtube guy as sometimes it wasn't very clear what happened in his video next. In the end we wanted to use as much from the original iMac hardware as possible, so luckily both guides also used the factory power supply. I did the whole connecting together with my father and we oriented ourself to the guide of Dremeljunkie and found also a very useful video on Youtube (How To Turn a 20'' iMac Into An External Monitor). ![]() I know this piece of hardware isn't up to date anymore and doesn't support Mac OS higher than 10.15 but it's still pretty modern and useable nowadays.

This winter I went back to my parents home and rediscovered this old piece of art. So 7 years ago I started this project, dismantled everything and then. My plan was to bring this old machine back to life as it didn't work properly. I purchased this iMac G4 20'' 7 years ago as for me it was the most beautiful computer design ever made. Overall I own several storage options of the iPod classics from 1G-5G. My favorites which are still in use are the first classic with 5GB, the 5th generation with 30GB and the last with 160GB. Back in the days I used to collect old iPods so now my collection is over 30 iPods from several generations (iPod classic, mini, nano, shuffle). My main workstation is a good working MacBook Pro late 2013 with 2 30'' Cinema Displays. I'm from Switzerland and I'm 27 years old. ![]() Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide ![]()
