At 10.5.4, can't get to ISP, How do I download code corrections to network?

In a previous entry I complained that having applied update 2008-005 to Leopard I could no longer auto-connect to my cable ISP although my old OS9 Mac still could as well as various Windoz boxes. So, since I can't connect to the Apple site to download any fixes (given they are recognized and implemented), what other options can I employ to restore my G4 to the Internet? Recall, I have a cable modem, a 1x8 wire router and multiple boxes connecting through it.
Is there a fall-back capability? If so, how is it employed or where can I train myself in it?
Will I have to re-install Leopard and somehow selectively apply updates from Apple? How can I control that? Typically, new patches include old ones so the latest includes all patches to date. Is this the case w/Apple?
Tell me, Doctors, what can I do?

At this question,
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1673127&tstart=0
, I cited all the relevant data.I was working fine until 2008-005 was applied, I saw my G4 Mac disconnect from the router-assigned IP address (191.1xx.0.0) and I could no longer connect. There's nothing wrong with my router - I still autoconnect with the OS9 Mac (an upgraded antique to G3) and multiple Windoz boxes. The Network service now shows Self-assigned IP (169.254.189.53)at the G4, "Built-in Ethernet, Connected ..... may not be able to connect." This is a departure from my experience of the prevous 18 mos. which covers 10.3.9 to 10.5 upgrade and no connection problems 'til the cited software update.
Given I can't get around (I have run the diagnostics, followed all available advice) the auto-connect problem and I see that I am not the only one with this problem. Can I fall back and await the next change while re-establishing auto-connect capability to match my other boxes? How does one fall back?

    I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    You've got to be freakin' kidding me. I'm in Brazil, I accidentally started a 2.2GB download that it says will take 592 minutes to download, and there's no way I can stop it and download something else until that first download finishes? I would have thought it was unthinkable 15 years ago that anyone would build an app that downloads things but doesn't allow the option of canceling the download, but in this day and age? So much for Apple making intuitive, user-friendly products.

  • How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

  • I downloaded the Keynote app to use on my iPad and because of iCloud, it is trying unsuccessfully to download onto my iPhone. How can I get it to stop attempting to download onto my iPhone? It says waiting and I can't delete it (no X to click). Thx!

    Did you try shutting down the device? Resetting? Disabling iCloud? Disabling auto-update?
    I'd find the problem that is keeping the download from proceeding and fix that so that the process can finish...sounds like it may be your connection or a server issue, in which case you may need to wait.

    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

    I'm having the same issue. All my applications transferred over. Lightroom is working, but when I went to edit a picture in Photoshop, I got an error message. It told me to restart, but the program still won't open after restart. It says licensing has stopped working, but what does that mean? I can't tell whether it's unsupported/blocked, or if it's a malfunction. The error code is 150:30 See screen shot.

  • My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
    If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least.  If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

  • Can't get OS 10.0.3 to download on my G3 B&W

    Hello,
    I have a 300 Mhz G3 Blue & White with OS 9.2.2 installed on it. I am trying to download OS 10.0.3 onto it from a OS 10.0.3 disc. The disc is white with the blue X on it. When I hit the install icon from the cd a restart computer to install box comes up. When I hit this button the screen goes grey and the small icon of a monitor with a ? appears. I would appreciate any help to this problem.
    Thank you
    Mac G3 Blue & White   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Welcome to Discussions Bellona Mars!
    "I can't get this version of OS 10 downloaded so I have to doubt if I would be able to install a newer version.
    That isn't necessarily true. The disk you are trying to use, may be model specific. Where did you get it?
    What size is your Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
    How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
    Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
    The point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.7 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Jaguar and Panther, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
    Jaguar Full Retail Version CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
    More info here Tip: Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
    Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 combo update,
    or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
    If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
    And then use the 10.4.7 Combo Update.
    Jaguar System Requirements
    -Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
    -128MB of physical RAM
    -Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
    -QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
    -DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
    Panther System Requirements
    Tiger System Requirements
    Additionally,
    "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
