No, the 7900 is not made for mac, not to mention even if it was, I am assuming your G5 is early 2005 which means it doesn’t have the right slot for it if I remember correctly you have an AGP slot not PCIe 16x slot which is needed for the 7900. The best you’ll be able to do is 6800 ultra if I am not mistaken.

Do you know someone with a FW PCI card, that you could borrow, that woul let you eliminate software as the issue.

Is this the first time that this has happened?
In system profiler when you plug the drives into FW do they appear, or in disc utility, because it is possible that they are recognized but are not mounting on the desktop.
Did you try restarting?
The one time I had a problem like this it turned out to be not a problem with computer but with the external drive enclosure. It is possible that your FW bus on the external drives is bad. But if this is the first time this has happened I would look at software.
Run disc utility on the drives, and repair your HD permissions… then see what happens after you restart…

What did you backup?
Making a complete restore to the orignal state before you lost your drive would mean that you imaged your drive, and archived your data.
Check backups features it may not let you restore the way you are talking about, due to the fact it is an entry level backup solution.
What is the problem with it putting things in a restored folder anyways?
Also try upgrading such that your old and new systems are using the same version of OS X so 10.4.2.

Not so fast, you still have to run windows, it just runs on your mac… and it runs better…

Personally in that case I’d go with DLT8000 tape drive, that would be the next best thing.

You can check around on google if you want? There may be something I am not aware of that would fix your problem.

Do you mean the MacBook or the MacBook Pro?
For what you are talking about using it for the glossy screen is only a problem outside….
as to the other question 128mb of VRAM for a photographer, is more then enough you could get away with a MacBook which has an integrated graphics card. For most things the GPU will not help in photography or photoshop use.

Are you planning to archive?
How much data will you need to backup at once?
Why not get an external HD…?

Try repairing permissions…
Also verify your keychain…
If you have wired and wireless connections see if both fail or if one works and the other doesn’t…
You can also try reseting safari, and deleting its prefs…
And have you tried making a new location and reseting your network?
