10.5 wont install. Not sure why?
I have a G4 400 MHZ (im not concerned about speed) with just over 1 GB RAM, and a 120 GB HD to install it on. I am currently running 9.2.2, which can't run the install, because it is a .app, so I restart the computer and the install starts up. I choose the language, and then it prepares the installer. Finally a pop-up says "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer. For Mac OS X system requirements, see the "Read Before You Install" document on your Mac OS X installation disc."
Any idea what is causing this? And if possible, could I put the HD in my Dell and install from there?
Hi
I don’t think you will be able to do this as a one step process. I have successfully installed 10.5 Leopard on a qualifying mac - mirrored door G4 1.42Ghz etc removed the internal IDE drive and transferred it to a Graphite G4 500Mhz Dual. Works well - not all that slow really. I’ve also done the same using an external firewire drive connected to the first G4, installing Leopard onto that and then booting the second G4 with it.
Not tried it with such a low spec mac but it should work using either of the methods above.
There is no way to use a drive formatted for use on a PC. Leopard as an OS would not recognize the drive format used. All versions of OSX require HFS+ (Macintosh Extended) formatting. Besides the PC would not even recognize the Leopard Installer disk as a bootable volume.
Hope this helps, Tony

Printer wont print, not sure why. New to Mac
Hey Guys,
I installed my printer more easily then anything I have ever installed it on before. I was almost worried because the mac effortlessly found and installed it.
I tried to print something today and the other day however and it just doest print. I see it in my printer cue, but it just stays there for hours and hours and never prints.
As far as I can see there is no way to print a test page, and I tried every option I could find to see if I could trouble shoot, however the menus seem very limited.
I really need to get the printing set up on this mac, so any help is greatly appreciated.
BTW, my printer is an hp color laser I believe 8420.
Thanks!If resetting the que fails try deleting the printer and reinstalling (delete and allow your mac to find it again). This has worked for me in the past when I had trouble with the que.
If that fails you can search the HP website for a OS-X compatible driver for this printer model and try using that instead of the pre-installed driver selected by OS-X.
Good luck. Let us know how it turns out. -
Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either. anyone help with this?
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working. -
Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.
If using windows...
Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software and try again...

from some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. Now all the photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.
It's says that file does not exist. How come? And why does it still show the image info.?
Where can i find those files (i have a daily backup)
The original image files are missing form your iPhoto library or iPhoto cannot find them, because the link to the originals has been broken. The image info is stored in the internal libraries, independent of the original files. That is, why you are still seeing them.
I restored the whole library from my backup.
Try restoring from an older backup, from before you first noticed the problem.
How large is the library, that you restored? Is the file size large enough to hold all your photos, or has the size been reduced? If the library is still large, the photos may still be inside, even if iPhoto cannot find them.
It's says that file does not exist. How come?
What happened, before your iPhoto library got deleted? Which applications have you been running, or which new software have installed or upgraded? Have you moved the library to a different disk or tried to use it from different user account or access it over the network? -
Can't update the flashplayer becasue it states I need to close firefox? Not sure why, I have an updated version of flashplayer but when I go in through firefox it tells me I need to update it, but won't because I am in firefox. This seems to be a problem when I am in FB.
You must close Firefox to install the update after it is saved to your hard drive. Follow the instructions below.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash. Both must be installed and updated on Windows systems. In Firefox it would show as Shockwave Flash in your plug-ins, if you had it installed.
*an ActiveX version for IE only
*a plug-in version for Firefox and most other browsers
#'''Install or Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin''' to the latest version.
#*Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
#*If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "'''Download and information'''" or "'''Download Manual installers'''" below
#*After download is complete, exit Firefox
#*Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
#**Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
#*Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below
#*'''Download and information''': http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#**Use Firefox to go to the above site to update the Firefox plugin (will also install plugin for most other browsers; except IE)
#**Use IE to go to the above site to update the IE ActiveX
#*'''Download Manual installers'''.

Not sure why line break is not working
Hi all,
Here is part of my simple Swing application:
String text1 = "hello";
String text2 = "world";
String text3 = text1+"\n"+text2;
// have also tried (String text3 = text1+"\n\r"+text2;)
displayField.setText(text3);I supposed that the text3 in the label field (displayField) would display like this:
hello
world
But not, the text3 just displayed in the same line like this instead: helloworld.
I am not sure why the line break is not working.Use HTML for a multiline JLabel.// String text3 = text1+"\n"+text2;
String text3 = "<html>" + text1 + "<br/>" + text2 + "</html>";db -

I received a text today while at work about iCloud keychain verification code. I have not signed up for it or anything that uses it. I work out of the city with limited internet access so not sure why I would be getting this. I only got this number about a month ago. Apparently someone else had the number before because I get texts from his family members wondering whats going on. I got one yesterday and the person didn't seem to thrilled that the number was cutoff and today I got 2 texts about iCloud Keychain which I don't even know what it is. Seems suspicious to me. If the person who use to own the number is doing it he should know it is not his number anymore because he obviously didn't pay his bills. I'm not too sure about iCloud Keychain so just want to know my info safe?? It says it can store credit card numbers which is what gets me worried. Frankly I think it's pretty stupid to save that kind if information with any kind of app. But I don't want some random person trying to access my personal information because they are bitter they lost their number. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can change passwords or anything that is needed.
thanksIf it were me, I would go to my carrier and get a new number. Since you have only had it for a month, the inconvenience would be minimal.

I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why
I can no longer print any document in PDF format. Not sure why? When I try to print, the document saves to my hard drive as a PDF and will not allow me to print? Never had this issue before. Any thoughts?
Print to file is in the main print dialog (on Acrobat 9.x) as opposed to under Advanced

im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.
It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.
Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks. If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?! I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped. Have any clue what I should do now?

My iphone5 crashed Wed May 29 and I am not sure why.. I had to do a restore and have been trying to slowly get everything back on the phone... Yesterday June 6 it blacked out once and I don't have everything on the phone as before.... Is it damaged and should I try to get a new one?
Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:
Your calendars are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
