Apple G4 iBook Confusion?*!

Hey everyone!
I need a bit of help. Have a used g4 iBook which came with disks, upon starting with disk, I choose lang. and then it says can't install on this. These are original disks, what am I doing wrong? Please help I need my apple fix! lol

Sadly, there is no magic to be worked. It looks like you have the wrong set of Install discs for the iBook. It appears that they are the ones for the model before yours.

That's why they're not working.

I don't own a MAC. I can probably use one at the library. I am trying to publish my book with Apple's ibooks, etc. Since my files are in Word.doc or html; how can I format my book so as to publish it?

HT4059 Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ?

Indesign CC, Trial version. Problem with type loading EPUB3 ebook onto Apple's ibooks

Hello. Using the trial version of Indesign CC, my wife has created an EPUB3 picture ebook. But on trying to load the ebook onto Apple's ibooks, the type is absent. Could this be because it is only the trial version of Indesign and that once she has the full version this should work? Are the Adobe trial versions different from the full versions? Thanks for your help. Jonathan.

There is zero difference between the trial and paid version.
We’ll need more details to help.

Being author of an Apple-approved iBook am I allowed to promote my book via email or website, without using the iBooks Badge?

Being author of an Apple-approved iBook, am I allowed to promote my book via email and wbsite without using the iBooks Badge?

Yes you can use email and if you a website/FB etc,. you can use the iBooks badge.
Use this link to Apples link maker https://linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/us/?urlDesc=
Then find your book(s) and create one of three link option for use on websites.
For emails I would suggest use the "text only" option but test the other logo options also.

EPUB 3 format Accepted by apple for iBooks ??

Does anyone know if apple accepts iBooks with the epub3 format?
There are some that have to be created since they use the read aloud / read and listen feature.
Also, is apple tied to major publishing houses or do they accept ebooks like they do apps from any Joe blow Hemingway ?

Thanks for the reply.
The reason I posted this here is that I read in other places that apple does not accept ebooks using the ePub 3 specifications. The link you provided does not say yea or ney on the format, just a link with the ePub 2 specs and info.
the iBooks app can and does read epub3 created media, since it has the read aloud feature.
Any publish a ePub 3 format book to iBooks?

How do you wipe a apple mac ibook G4 without the password?

I just bought an apple iBook G4 power PC off ebay & the seller hasn't wiped all their stuff from the hard drive. I don't have the Admin password or install/restore disk. Can anyone tell me how I can make a clean install and make the ibook mine? Thanks.

You'd have to try and see what recourse you may have through
the eBay rules, since the computer should've had its Mac OS X
install-restore disc set, as part of the license to use the System.
A later retail DVD full install disc such as Leopard 10.5 may do
if you were to see about finding one from an Amazon reseller
or maybe someone who has the correct (retail) either Tiger or
Leopard. The system depends on what the iBook G4 has for
hardware; if the iBook G4 is an early one with smaller than an
867MHz PPC processor, it won't upgrade past Tiger 10.4.11.
Apple had been a spotty source for a generic white label DVD
replacement disc to install in supported PPC Macs, a full version
of Tiger 10.4, on one disc; and another disc, for Leopard 10.5.
The source of these had been AppleCare or Support, not retail.
And some persons at Apple were unable to verify their existence
until actually entering purchase codes into their database, as if
they were invisible, according to feedback from US vintage users
of PowerPC G4/G5 computers that did not have original discs.
So if you can locate a product Serial Number, sometimes in the
battery compartment, and call Apple Support or Applecare to
order a replacement OS X system installer on DVD, you'd need
to supply that serial number in an attempt to find out if they have
anything at all. And, also have a method of payment (a CC.)
Not sure how things differ on the England side of the Atlantic...
Here, on east side of the Pacific, things can be very different, too.
Usually grey-label discs for a specific series build model year
Mac won't do anything if attempts are made to use them in
another different Mac model. And would be an as-shipped OS.
Can't say as I have a workable resolution for your circumstance.
The PowerPC hardware limits you to no later than Leopard 10.5.8
and that should be only if the processor is faster than 867MHz. If
not, then the latest OS X is Tiger 10.4 from DVD, & these systems
get their last update via Software Update online, in a Combo file.
Perhaps you can better identify the computer, and see if a regional
Apple affiliate or specialist has access to a supported OS X installer.
That is the way to perform a complete erase, install, in most models.
Be sure if you buy a system DVD that it is a retail one and not a
disc set from a different or other Mac computer, as they rarely work.
Good luck !

Two Apple Accounts are confused

My son synched his new ipod to the same computer that I synch my iphone to. He created a new account, but all my applications have appeared on his ipod, including the paid ones. Now, when he goes to download something from the App store, it wants to use my credentials instead of his. How can we seperate the accounts? To do a total wipe of his ipod at this point is not a problem, but what happens to the accounts? Do we need to use different computers? Thanks - Jim

If you feel confused about having 2 Apple ID, I actually suggest using the same account for both of your i-devices.
My family owned an iPad, 2 iPhone 4, and an iPod Touch, a totally of 4 devices.
Since none of the family members beside me bother to look into the sync and accounts setup procedure, I take charge of all of them.
With only 1 account, it is actually great in buying the apps, since all 4 of my devices share the same set of apps and sync to the only PC at my home.
I don't have to buy 2 times when my father or mother or brothers need an app that I have already paid for.
I also have greater control on my little brother's purchases since the account uses my card and he don't have the password for my Apple ID
If I remember correctly, you can have at most 5 i-devices paired to 1 account.
But, of course, this is only my way of getting this settled.
From what you have said, it seems that when your son bought the iPod, he choose to set up his iPod by restoring from your iPhone backup.
If you really want to separate you and your son's account and content, I think you'll have to:
restore your son's ipod to factory default. This would erase *ALL* things in the ipod.
After the restart of his ipod, choose "set up this ipod as a new device" or something like that in iTunes.
Then, sign-in using his own account to App Store on his ipod.
After this, whenever he buys things, he will be prompt to log in with "his" account. Purchase made with his account remain "his".
Since I have never done that myself before, I am not quite sure about the procedures.
But I can assure you that you don't need another computer.

Why won't Apple support iBooks on Mac

I am curious as to why Apple doesn't have an iBooks App for the Mac

Nobody knows, and Apple isn't saying. The issue has been discussed here many times already in the last year.

Apple Photo - somewhat confusing

(1) My events have been added from iPhoto to Photos. However, the sort order of the (now Albums) is not what I want, When I open Photo, it shows about 14 Albums *from iPhoto) - but they are NOT the ones I want to see upon opening Photo. How do I reorder the now (albums) by date like they were in iPhoto. Can't figure out how to do it? Should be intuitive and simple.
2. When I select all my Photos, they are in the reverse order of how I want them - I want the newest first - they appear in oldest first format. I want to reverse that sort order???
(3) Lastly, I was prompted to buy additional Cloud Space for 3.99 a month. I'm wondering why as I keep all my full size, full resolution Photos on my Hard Drive - I don't think I need full size images on my Cloud.
Tried to call Apple Care but phone lines were very busy with VERY long wait time. APPLE NEEDS TO PUT OUT A GOOD DETAILED TUTORIAL on the new Photo Program.
Thanks for any help.

They say that they keep the information for 30 days for reorder - I suggest that you keep it - you may want to copy your library and delete everything except the book and its photos as a smaller archive copy

Apple Care? Confusion.

If Apple Care covers "Your iPhone, Battery, Included earphones and accessories" then why won't they "provides repair or replacement coverage, both parts and labor, from Apple-authorized technicians." then why won't they replace my iPhone's crack, or if I got my battery wet, or even got my headphones shredded by my cat. I find this false, but why is this the case.

So If I set my phone down and never touch it. And it is always off and I happen to turn it on and it is broken with an extended purchase of Apple Care that is basicly all they cover?
It is a manufacturer's warranty, not insurance.
In the example you provided, there could be no accidental damage such as getting the battery wet or the iPhone being dropped causing damage because it hasn't been touched. If the iPhone remains under warranty and there is a problem not caused by accidental damage such as getting the battery wet or damaged due to being dropped that cannot be resolved by any other means besides an exchange under warranty, the iPhone will be exchanged under warranty at no charge.
Accidental damage is not covered under Apple's warranty - under no manufacturer''s warranty for ANY product.
Accidental damage such as getting the battery wet, the screen being cracked as a result of being dropped, or the earbuds being shredded by your cat would fall under insurance coverage if available, not under the manufacturer's warranty for the product.

Apple TV Nubie Confused

So many questions - where to start...
All questions relate to movie rental from the iTunes portal
1) Does ATV start playing a movie before it is completly downloaded?
2) How many movies can ATV store?
3) Will the multi-function round direction switch allow reversing and going forward while watching a movie?
4) How to properly pause a movie? My experience with pausing using the select button did in fact stop the movie but it required another download (5+ hrs) before it was ready to play again. ATV did give the option of starting from the first or returning to the paused site.
5) ATV shows that my unit has the latest software installed. Where/how does one find the build model of the latest software to confirm?
6) How does one tell ATV from ATV2?
TIA for your help.
Bill

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes before it's fully downloaded, but not until it has downloaded enough to play without stopping.
It can't actually store any, it can fit a full movie on it's flash storage but will delete it when you watch something else.
Yes you have 3 forward and 3 reverse speeds and you can also jump a chapter or multiple chapters.
Use the pause button (feeze frame)
That info is on the Apple website, but if you are connected to the internet it will always tell you if you are up to date and remind you when new software is available.
The first Apple TV was white/grey, the new one is black.

Just left apple store, still confused

i was near the apple store so i thought i'd pop in and ask a few questions about icloud. was told that if we have multiple devices with the same apple id, which we do, then we have to be very careful about syncing with the cloud because we will get each others contacts and documents and so on. and we will also get each others imessages if we choose to use imessage. so my question now is, how hard would it be to now change the apple id's so my wife's iphone and my daughter's ipod touch 4g each has their own apple id? if i do that, would we all still be able to use the same itunes that we have been? is all that's required to have your own icloud account to have your own apple id? how would each of us with our own apple id be able to use all the music and apps that we have already purchased? thanks for any help.

On your computer, create a separate login for your wife. Launch iTunes, create HER iTunes account & authorize the computer: Store>Authorize this Computer. Do the same on your daughter's computer(for her iTunes account only). Then, you do the following under your wife's login & on your daughter's computer:
1. iTunes running.
2. Sign your wife/daughter out of iTunes & then you sign in, using YOUR Apple ID.
3. Store>Authorize this Computer.
4. You sign out, then sign each back in.
Then:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences>Devices in itunes, for both your wife's login & on your daughter's computer.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal) on your daughter's computer & under your wife's login. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your wife's phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point(do the same for your daughter's touch on her computer.
4. Sign each out of their respective iTunes accounts & then sign in using YOUR ID.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your their devices will be in their itunes library).
6. Once complete, sign each back in to their respective iTunes accounts.
7. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
8. Right click again and select backup.
9. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
10. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore their itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
All apps obtained using YOUR account MUST be updated using your account: wife/daughter sign out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, each then signs back in.

Do I need an agreement with Apple to sell a textbook created by iBooks Author on iBookstore?

Hello,
I created my .ibooks fortmatted book by iBooks Author. And I would like to sell it on iBookstore.
In the past I have published several ePub books on iBookstore. So I have my iTunes connnect account for it.
And my question are
- Should I have a new contract with Apple for .ibooks format?
- Should I need to have a new contract when I try to publish each .ibooks formatted book on iBookstore? (Not free book)
Thank you,
Victor Choi from IVISUAL

Use the same process and account as in the past, via iTunes Producer. Be sure to acknowledge updated agreements and download the latest iTP.

Non-Apple iBook batteries and how this affects the warranty

I have a 14" G4 iBook (not eligible for the Apple battery replacement program) in which the original battery is clearly dying after almost two years of heavy use. There are vendors out there selling non-Apple replacement iBook batteries, and some make claims that they outperform the Apple batteries. What's Apple's position on this in regards to the warranty; i.e., would simply installing a third party battery void the warranty if some other component went bad, or would there have to be some obvious cause and effect relationship?
Does anyone have any experience with non-Apple batteries or a vendor you could recommend?
Thank you,
Doug R.
iBook G4 14 in 1.33 Mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Douglas,
As Apple's policy is not something one can discuss here (see the Terms of Use on the right), your best bet is to ask the question of AppleCare directly. This is just a user to user forum.
