Big Mistake, how do I fix it.

Peace and blessings,
I tried to install Tiger from my Mac book into my G4 flat screen. I thought it was fine since they were both owned by me, as it turns out they're not compatable.
My G4 is frozen. It starts out then after the apple appears its freezes and says "unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac4,2"
Proceeding back via chain.....Kernel version: Darwin Kernal Version 8.6.2.... panic: We are hanging here..."
I tried starting it holding Shift. it didn't work. Help!
In light and respect,
Alana

Alana,
Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
As you've found out you can't use a MacBook version of OS X on an iMac G4 as they are designed for different processors (not to mention it's not legal!).
To recover this all you need to do is get the grey-coloured Install DVD that came with your iMac pop it in and hold down the C key during start-up. Then follow the instructions for an Archive and Install. Don't do the Erase and Install or you'll lose the data on the iMac.
If you wish to back-up important data to the MacBook before you do this then use Firewire Target Mode:
Connect the two Macs using a 6pin-to-6pin Firewire cable.
Switch on the iMac G4 and hold down the T key.
The iMac G4's hard disk will appear on the MacBook.
Drag and drop your important files.
Once your finished drag the iMac G4's hard disk to the Trash to eject it.
Then disconnect the FW cable and power down the iMac using the Power button.

i want to use my itune id on my ipad but i set up a 2nd apple id by mistake how do i fix this?

You can sign out and sign in with another Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for store pruchases and for iCloud in "Settings > iCloud" on your iOS device. Unfortunately, you cannot merge two ore more accounts so you have to decide which account do you want to use.

I recently had problems logging in to a website.Was advised by the website admin to delete all cookies - big mistake - how can i recover my cookies. i can not log in to many of my favourite websites and log in details have gone

I think i have said it all in the question. i am running on Windows XP and have downloaded the latest version of Firefox. Can nay one help me please? My computer is a mess

Thank you for the links. I have tried all the steps described including re-syncing system time, which I had done even before I posted my question here. The problem
remains. I still cannot log in to UHRS.
The problem occurs only in IE on my computer. In Chrome or in IE on my husband's computer (we are both using IE 11) there is no such issue.
Well, in that case. Try this:-
Go to: www.live.com and log out if you are signed in to your UHRS cw-email adress. (Do NOT save your UHRS password, otherwise you have to do this everytime.) Log in to your UHRS account again.
If still not, then try this:-
Please see: What
to do when Internet Explorer isn't working.
See: "How
to Reset Internet Explorer settings".
If the issue persists...
1. Please download and run the Microsoft
Safety Scanner tool (freeware).
2. Reboot your PC.
3. Please download and update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Free
4. Reboot Windows in Safe
Mode and run a Full
Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
If still no joy...
5. Download and Run AdwCleaner, RogueKiller and Junkware
Removal Tool (Freeware)
6. Reboot and Test.
If still same then can you tell me from when it started happening ? Like which thing did you installed/modified last time from when this problem started ?

HT201304 I forgot my security answers when I tried to purchase a game from big fish it will not let me continue how do I fix it

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

When I move audio from itunes it won't play in the movie. How do I fix that ?

When I move a song from iTunes into a movie, it won't play when I play the movie. The movie file might be too big.
How do I fix that?

Hi
To get my Audio working I do
• only use .aiff 44.1kHz or 48kHz
• .mp3, .wma etc - all I convert to .aiff first
• from iTune - I do - Collect needed audio into a new PlayList - Then I burn this as an Audio-CD (not .mp3 - only .aiff) - then I use the files from this Audio-CD in my movie projects
And by doing like this - I have very few Audio problems.
Yours Bengt W

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"?

I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"? I have back up in the past but the last month I have not. I really want to keep the data.
So how can I go in and change the setting, It stays ofcourse at the apple screen with wheel. All info is there and the computer works fine, just cannot use it or have been able to log in.

wjosten is spot on. If you really want iCloud, then you will need to acquire a new or second hand MBP that can run Lion.
Ciao.

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

Your MacBook is using the big screen as the Presenter Display, and the MacBook Air display as the Show display. Tap the 'x' key to swap them during the show.
Here is more information about using the Presenter Display.

Changing body text is not simple. It's a desperate last resort. You need to buy the exact font. Acrobat will not let you edit in a font you don't own. Even then, it's undertain. Consider preparing an overlay in InDesign.
