Any way around this?
Hi
I have a 1.25Ghz Rev A Powerbook G4 with 512MB Ram (standard factory spec i.e. standard superdrive which only burns –R and -RW). I have a couple of questions regarding Leopard.
First, I note from Apple that 512MB is the minimum for running 10.5. Will my machine be able to cope as it is or will I see a slow down from 10.4.11?
Second, the company who I work for has a license that has been negotiated with Apple for 10.5. The upshot of this is that we can download it from our internal network to use on machines that we use for work. That said, IT support is non-existent so I’m hoping that someone can help me with the problem detailed below.
You download the various parts, stick them in a folder, run a terminal command and it merges the files into an image which you can burn to a DVD (so you have a bootable disk). This all seems pretty simple. However the instructions say that you need an 8.5GB dual layer DVD. Am I correct in thinking that my machine doesn’t have a drive capable of burning to such a DVD (nothing in system prefs)? If I am correct, is there any way to work around this i.e. use two single layers DVDs or am I going to have to get someone to burn the image for me (I don’t have any firewire drives)?
Thanks
The upshot: You absolutely need more RAM. 10.5 is going to be a dog on any machine with only 512Mb. You can install and run it but....well just get some more RAM. And don't cheap out. The 10.5 installer will give you no end of trouble if it does not "like" the RAM.
Since you are obviously in an environment in which there are other Macs available, I would suggest you consider installing 10.5 on your machine from another Mac using FW Target Disk mode. That way you need not worry about upgrading your optical drive. But be smart about this. You simply MUST make a bootable, verified backup (clone) of your current stable system first. How or where (since you don't have any external drives) you do this is something you will have to work out but if you don't do this, you might easily end up back here with bigger problems. Perhaps it's time for you to invest is an external FW drive?

I rented a movie through itunes on my ipad and wanted to watch it with friends on a digital projector, but it wouldn't allow me to do it. Is there any way around this?
The issue was that a dialogue box came up which said that I couldn't play this movie on another device. I tried playing the same movie on an Tv with an HDMI connection attached to an adapter to the IPad and that worked. I wonder if the problem is that the digital projector has a VGA connection.

When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer keyboard, and since my password consists of letters, numbers and symbols, the ipad keeps displaying "incorrect password". Is there any way around this please anybody?

Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character? -
Any way around this? I want to use PSE 13 on a workstation that will be permanently offline. I spent hours with Adobe support and they suggested deleting a file called
opm.db in the following location
[System drive]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
and then rename the oobe folder to new oobe folder
But then our chat session automatically terminated and that's as far as I got.
Will this work?
Will I still have full functionality?
Can someone help? Thanks!
Desperate in Denver PAhello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

Why are HP printer cartridges country specific? Is there any way around this?
I have just moved from the UK to Newfoundland, Canada and I have brought my HP PSC 1610 printer with me. I was advised not to bring any cartridges with me because they would explode during the flight so I had to buy new cartridges upon arrival.
I noticed that the cartridge numbers recommended for my printer were similar but not exactly the same but the (HP, etc.) websites I looked at did not mention that HP printer cartridges country specific.
In the UK black cartridge is an HP338 (C8765EE).
In Canada the websites told me that the black cartridge is a 94 (C8765WC).
I ordered a 94 cartridge (which took an indordinate amount of time to be delivered) and when I installed it my printer would not accept it ("not intended for use in this printer" error message) even though it fit perfectly. I looked at the packaging in greater detail and noticed that I had been sent a 94 (C8765WL) and I also noticed (in a very small font size) "for sale only in Latin America".
My questions are therefore:
1) Why are HP printer cartridges country specific?
2) Is there any way around this? Eg is there anything I can do to my printer/ laptop to tell it to accept this cartridge?
3) Are 94/ C8765WL cartidges compatible with 94/ C8765WC cartirdges? Ie did the supplier sell me something that couldn't be used even if I had a Canadian HP PSC 1610 printer?
4) Can I return the cartridges to the supplier given that it is based in Canada, they delivered it to me in Canada and yet they sold me a product that says "for sale only in Latin America"?
Thanks
anenglishmaninsaintjohnsYou will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work. HP's web page on the subject is here.

I cannot preview the iBooks I am creating on my MacBook because my iPad is "supervised" by my employer's computer. Is there any way around this?
Email your .ibook file to your supervisor; put your .ibook file on a server and use whatever iPad to navigate there via Safari, then download and open using iBooks.

I have a Netgear NAS which uses Stora software. Mavericks will not let me install the software as it is not from an approved developer. Is there any way around this?
There is, but why do you need the s/w installed? The NAS should have a web admin interface, accessible via ip address (http://<ip address>) which should allow all the needed configuration that is required for it to work with machines running os x.
Try to install as little s/w as you need to do something in Mavericks or any OS as it is usually the cause of future issues or problems.
If you're intent on installing the s/w, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and If you have tried to run it before, it should be listed there. You can then "un-block" it should you wish. -
I have a Belgian Apple ID, but want to use the UK i-tunes store. I get a dialogue box saying "This Apple ID is only valid for purchases in the Belgian itune store". Is there any way around this? Thanks, Jackie and Manuel
When you move to Portugal (very nice, I've just come back from visiting Cascais/Sintra/Sines ) I think you'll just get re-directed to Portuguese iTunes. When I moved to France from the UK I got re-directed to the French store.
To view UK programmes in France I used to subscribe to a VPN server through https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/ (there are others, but very pleased with their service). The catch-up channels (iPlayer, etc) think you're in the UK so you can watch the programmes online. Wouldn't work with iTunes UK store though . -
I have just dowloaded iTunes new version 10.4 (on Windows), and I can't paste any artwork from Word anymore, only directly from the net (where the size or the quality of the images is not always optimal). Major problem given that I'm in the process of re-ripping some 40K+ songs in Lossless format... Any way around this?

After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
Look out for "japiohelp".
In short:
a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
c) reboot the computer

iPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?
Hi! It seems you found a bug on iOS 7.1
To disable Voice dials try this, (I saw in an iPhone website here in Brazil):
1. Turn on Siri (settings > General > Siri)
2. go to (Settings >Passcode > Voice Dial) trust me, it appears now
3. disable Voice Dial
4. go back and disable Siri
hope this could help you!! -
I recently upgraded from OS 10.5 on a PowerMac G5 to an early Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.5. To my consternation, I now find that my scroll wheel operates backwards from what I'm used to. Did Apple make a change that caused that? Is there any way around this?
Apple didn't make this easy, did they! When Lion first came out, I think that check box was under the Trackpad heading of the System Preferences, whether you actually had a trackpad or not. I take it there's nothing there, either?
I plugged a plain ol' three button Logitech mouse into the iMac, and while the Mouse panel options did change some, the same check box for Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating was there.
