Not too computer savvy here so please bear with me. We purchased a G5 powermac refurbished (1.8) for my son for his birthday. The purpose of this computer was to use protools 8, a recording software program and the internet needs that go with that. Well it has been fail after fail. Protools loaded fine and worked well, then we purchased the airport card, which of course didn't work. Then we purchased an antenna, again didn't work - no internet connection or signal and all of this caused to operating system to shut down. The company we purchased the computer from sent us a disc of the operating system, we reinstalled and tried to reinstall protools but could not because the operating system was not updated - and we could not update it because of no internet. Just bought an ethernet cable and plugged directly into the computer (PC) in the next room. Internet worked, downloaded the updates and boom - no more internet or midibox connection, protools isn't working either. We are at a loss, live in a small town so not a lot of assistance and everything we have to buy is over the internet so it prolongs the process. Plus we are on a 2-3 hour time zone difference from where we purchased the computer so it's difficult to call them. What should we do? Where should we start?? Is it the computer? Internet? Protools? Us? We are all very frustrated - it's been a month long ordeal and we have had no success.
