Why wont my iMac G4 work

I'm stumped guys, my completely normal iMac G4 refuses to login.
This video is a joke in case you didn't pick up on that.
Also, this video took five hours to upload no joke! Thx Aussie Internet

[@wutangcatclan]

I think bc a G4 isn't really suppose to run up with Catalina. Downgrade to High Sierra I'd say!

[@Zebra_Paw]

lmfao that won't work either, an iMac G4 is unusable today

[@NothingGetsPastMyBow]

So our only option is to install Big suir

[@NothingGetsPastMyBow]

Or Ventura

[@NothingGetsPastMyBow]

Or any current model we have on MacBook

[@IPADPOSTERS]

It might be a hard drive issue. Try to change out the hard drive and reinstall an earlier version of Mac OS. Just a thought

[@DJHALFRO]

I think it's a hard drive issue. If you have another older Mac G4 you can test the hard drive in, see if it gives you the same issue. If it does, it's likely the hard drive. If it loads in just fine in the other Mac then it could be an issue with the logic board. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps! :)

[@emilis4677]

Actually this imac g4 is not compatible with mac os catalina

[@32BitLink]

You probably installed some program and Mac OS is trying to start it a boot up but it can't

[@gbles1457]

On boot up right?

[@erb2164]

As most people have said it is most likely the hard drive but it could the drivers

Do you know how to fix a iMac g4 in Mac failure (aka the question mark and broken finder file)

[@Pendleton115]

most likely a dead Hard Drive, you'll need a replacement IDE HDD or IDE to SATA SSD an then re install the operating System.

[@theoblivious2001]

How did you make this look so realistic?!

[@Pendleton115]

Because its real, check out the end of my iPod video ;)

[@simonleferink1248]

Maybe linux will fix it, the only problem is the PowerPC architecture but this port of ubuntu should do the trick: wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPC

[@theminecraftbro661]

You need to install Minecraft on it and then Minecraft will consume all the Viruses

How is the g4 running catalina?

[@Pendleton115]

It's a project I'm working on. Don't want to spoil to much as I'll be releasing a video on it Soon. Check my twitter if you want to see updates on it :)

[@honzanugeta]

it has to be a hackintosh

[@Pendleton115]

HONZA NUGETA not a hackintosh. This machine is 100% Mac. But you’re in the right direction.

[@monishmanjunath3432]

it's just A JOKE EVERYONE

[@gbles1457]

Try Removing the password if you got no luck then try removing The 3th Party Apps From Bootup or Remove them Entirely if You got again no luck try Reinstalling Catalina if Still No luck then try Downgrading If Still no luck try Other OSs if still no luck see if the imacs inside may be wrong

[@optimalcomrad]

You should do Linux videos, just a tip

[@Pendleton115]

klokkefriken I’ve got some raspberry pi stuff in mind if that interests you.

[@Hummer4798]

I am a apple pro just so you know

[@myatzawko9656]

Just buy a new iMac G4

[@syrianball1875]

You could download windows and then download Linux!

[@itscorvid358]

It's because it's a mac

[@optimalcomrad]

Install Linux. Problem fixed
