Updated iBook on PowerBook CD and now it can't find Finder. PLEASE HELP!

Today I updated my iBook G3 from OS X 10.2.8 to OS X 10.3.x using a disk that I had found for my PowerBook G4. My PowerBook crashed a couple of years ago and has been sitting on my desk as a paper weight, so i figured that the disk would update the iBook with no problem. I turned on the iBook and logged in and Finder would not run I tried to relaunch Finder, I tried booting in safe mode and nothing has worked. I don't want to reinstall 10.2 but if I absolutely have to I will. Thanks for any help you can provide!

As you have found, software CDs that came with one Mac usually won't work with another model.
Did you back up your hard drive with a clone before attempting the upgrade? If so, you can easily revert to your previous system.

  • Somehow I got my website page enlarged and now I can't reduce it, please help

    I have no idea what I did. the mouse started to enlarge the page way more than it should and now the page is stuck at enlarged and when I scroll it down small, it's still way bigger than it should be. I know it's simple but I don't know what to do to fix it. Other pages are fine....only the one I was on when it happened.

    If you use the keyboard shortcut Control+0 (zero) it should reset the page zoom.
    Alternatively press either Alt or F10 to display the menus, then in the View menu select Zoom, and then select Reset.

  • I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod

    I updated my iPod/iTunes software and now I can't get it to shuffle songs in a playlist; it either shuffles albums in a playlist or songs on the whole iPod, neither of which is what I want to do.  How do I get it to shuffle songs in just one playlist?

    The shuffle setting in the main menu will shuffle through the entire library as you have found out.
    You need to go to settings>shuffle this will toggle through off/song/album. Once you have set this it will stay the same until you change the setting.
    Now when you start playing a song in a playlist the iPod will shuffle through that playlist (or if you select your song through artist then it will shuffle through all the songs for that artist etc)

  • I finally updated my Touch to iOS5, and now I can't access my apps or pictures

    I finally updated my Touch to iOS5, and now I can't access my apps or pictures. Can anyone help?

    - You can't drag and drop app.  You have to syc them by checkingthe one syou want synced and then click on the sync button.
    - For the app problem try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't connect to iTunes store

    I updated to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't connect to the iTunes store.   Anybody else having this problem?

    I made some progress. The problem is thatiTunes is looking for a  certain LSP (Layered Serviice Provider). Some antivirus software (PCTools in my case, wants another one.
    1) Disable andy spyware
    2) run command "netsh winsock reset" and reboot.
    3) Voila it works.
    I don't know all the consequences of this change but somebody is going to need their products' code.
    Be careful, I know this works for me, but your mileage may vary.

    Also a security password has appeared on my iPhone which is 4 didgets long that I don;t recall setting up.  This is blocking me updating IOS.  It is usually alpha numeric.

    Yeah that is what I thought, but the passcode used to be alpha numeric and just changed to being 4 didgets and I don;t recall making that change.  This is only to approve updates on my iPhone.  The other issue is on my mac pro.

  • I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    Which iPhoto version did you update to?
    If it is iPhoto 9.6 open iPhoto's preferences, go to the Accounts pane and delete the email account.
    Now quit iPhoto, relaunch, and add the account back.
    You may have to restart the Mac for this to have effect.
    If you are using iPhoto as Mail client, you may want to switch to Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane.
    This has been much more reliable in the past and less trouble.

  • I TRY TO OPEN IPHOTO AND I COULD NOT.  WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON DID NOT EVEN BOUNCE.  THEN I DRAGED IT ON MY DESKTOP AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE ICON ANYWHERE,

    I TRY TO OPEN IPHOTO AND I COULD NOT.  WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON DID NOT EVEN BOUNCE.  THEN I DRAGED IT ON MY DESKTOP AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE ICON ANYWHERE, what can i do???

    iOS?  or OSX
    OSX = Finder > Applications > iPhoto. Double click the app to open it.
    The icon (alias) will then be back on the dock. Right click the Icon > Keep in Dock.
    Icons dragged off the dock vanish in a puff of smoke.. they are only aliases (shortcuts)
    If you mean iOS I can't really understand what is happening..
