Old ibook with OS 9 -- cannot get pages to load

The computer has been in a drawer for 5 yrs and I want to use it just to view the web and almost nothing else. Web pages connect, then nothin loads, so I cannot get updates.
Should I reformat, if so how. Is it worth it all to try to get the machine working?

Ok, I was able to download icab to another computer and email it to an AOL address as the ibook has a working AOL email function. So I have a working browser and I downloaded an update to OS 9, but the computer is so frightfully slow to operate and web pages have so many more features now that it is choking.
I would need to get an airport card to use it wirelessly and I am still wondering if any of this would be worth it.
Weigh in with any thoughts (anyone) and thank you for the help on the browser.

  • Old iBook with airport card

    Hi,
    I have a little problem and am an absolute novice in this field. I have a network set up at home with a Netgear router and 3 x G3/300 happily
    connected via wire.
    My son got himself an old iBook (in very good knick...) and the thing is equipped with an airport card.
    Can I connect the iBook to the Netgear router (the router has also wireless capabilities).
    I have tried, but to no avail. The green pins in the control strip are all green,
    and if I open the airport, the signal is very strong (but the status says "not available'.
    Also, when I open the router settings on my G3, my router detects the wireless iBook, but still I cannot get on the web from the iBook.
    oh... most importantly, the iBook is running os 9.2.2, and the other machines on the network are in mixed configuration (OS 9/X).
    Any suggestions??

    try removing, then replacing the airport card in your comp

I type in the correct password in the iCloud account and mail account under settings but it always reverts back and preventsme from getting mail. Can only retrieve mail from i cloud on my competer. Thanks!!!

    Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
    Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

    If there is an item in there drag it out.

    It won't work or just won't install?
    Which OS, browser(s), and anti-virus software are you using?
    If you're using the free Avira AntiVir(us) Personal software, then deactive the Webguard feature first before installing the Flash Player.

  • I cannot get pages from iWork's to share.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion?

    I cannot get pages from iworks to share on Mountain Lion.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion instead of iworks?

    You need Pages 09 (Version 4) to take advantage of Mountain Lion's iCloud features. You don't say what version you have.

  • I cannot get pages to recognise iCloud

    I cannot get pages 4.0.1.(746) to recognise iCloud. I have recently installed Mountain Lion on my iMac and two Macbookpro's. Everythin works fine on the laptops but not on the iMac. I have reloaded MountainLion and also applied several times for update only to get no updates available. I have gone to AppStore to purchase a new pages but it tells me I already have the latest, I believe there is a later version but I cannot access it.
    Has anyone any ideas.
    I have written to support but they just referred me to FAQ's and here - There did not appear to be an answer in FAQ's
    Many thanks Carriemac1

    Yes, there is a later version. You need Pages '09 version 4.2 (1008) or so.
    Which support group did you consult? You should probably be talking to the Mac App Store support group.
    One method that has helped some users get around similar problems is to uninstall the older version, which should let you install the newer version.

    Hello anderson113,
    It may help to force close the affected apps, then restart your iPhone.

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • I cannot get iWeb to load on either computer, one running 10.5 and the other 10.6

    I need to make an independent web page for my DAR chapter and upload it through them. I cannot get iWeb to load. It will open and then freezes. I've tried it n both the iMac and the iBook with the same results. What am I doing wrong?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.
