Can a "Bootable" OS 10.4.11 from a PowerPC be the startup on an Intel?

My PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11 is no longer with me, but luckily I have all my data backed up on a Lacie backup hard drive. I used Carbon Copy Cloner for the backup process and it was made "bootable."
Is it possible to make the Lacie HD the "Start up" disk when connected via FireWire to an Intel Mac, a MacBook, for example?
Or, can I only access the data via a "target" disk mode?
If the Lacie backup drive is connected, either as the "start up" disc, or in "target disk mode," is it possible for me to run programs which are on the backup drive for 10.4.11 which ran on a Power PC with the Intel mac it will be connected to? For example, I need to access and run my Quicken 2005 (or 2006?) program to work on the data, not just see the data, but use the program. As the program was installed on a PowerPC computer, will I still be able to use it while connected through the MacBook?
I'm grateful for any clarity on this.
Thanks.

Thank you for all of these replies - I am grateful and had a bad feeling that would be the answer - can't boot from older OS.
But, if I'm in target disc mode, is it still possible for me to launch and run on the Intel Mac a program, i.e., "Quicken," that is loaded/stored in the back up hard drive?
I'm aware of Migration Assistant, etc., the problem is I'm not planning on buying another computer at the moment, I just need to get some of the data off my back up hard drive while using someone else's Mac.
Please let me know about running applications from the backup.
With thanks.

I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
under Input highlight microphone.
3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
(Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
For any other audio device you do this for input and output.
If you get stock post back

How can one remove a raised texture pattern from a scan of the original photo?

How can one remove a raised texture pattern from a scan of the original photo?
Have several wedding photos scanned into PS Elements that were printed by the pro, photography studio on a raised pattern paper. Would anyone know how to remove the honey comb type pattern so that the picture canbe printed flat on glossy color photo paper?
Any help would be greatfully appriciated.
Thanks,

The best way to remove a pattern is to use a Fast Fourier Transform. There's a free plugin (as well as examples and instructions) here:
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6795661/4N6site/improc/fftplugin/examples.htm
Using the plugin requires editing the individual colour channels, which PSE does not natively allow. You'll need the reasonably-priced Elements+ addin:

Here's a crop at 100% of the result I got:
The pattern is much reduced. With some experimenting, you can probably do a little better.

How can an iTunes Match user prevent songs from being uploaded to the iCloud?

Has anyone who is currently using iTunes Match found a way to prevent selected songs in their music library from being uploaded to the iCloud. I have a number of audio files that are hour long mixes, but aren't quite large enough to run afoul of the 200MB size limit. I'd like to keep using iTunes Match, but would like to prevent it from trying to upload any of these larger files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Another oddity I just discovered is that if I turn on wifi hotspot on my phone and connect my iMac to my phone's 3G service then iTunes on my iMac will stream music just fine from iTunes match (yes, the music was only in the cloud, not on my drive).
I've tried everything I can think of to get iTunes Match to play tracks over cellular.. including totally deauthorizing all my computers and devices, totally removing all tracks my itunes match in the cloud and re-scanning/uploading everything. Purchased new tracks, and they won't play unless they are downloaded. But they will play just fine when previeing them for purchase in iTunes app.

Can you transfer an Kindle e-book from a computer to the ellipsis and will it work after transfer?

I have purchased an e-book from Amazon and it downloaded to my computer. Is there a way to move e-books between these two devices?
If it can be moved can one still read the book on the new device or on both of them?

Amazon allows Kindle books on multiple devices. The number of devices allowed may vary depending on the book, however I believe for most books it is up to 5 devices.
You don't really transfer books from one device to another. You simply go to the Kindle store on the device you would like to read the book, look at your Kindle library on that device. If you have already purchased the book on your account, it will be listed in your available books. Simply click on the book and it will start downloading. If you already have the book on your limit of devices it will inform you of that fact. You can simply go to one of your other devices and delete the book from it and then download it on your new device. If you ONLY have the book on your computer and want to download it to a Kindle e-reader, you should have no problem with it being on too many devices, though.

How can I remove my old apple id from iTunes and put the new one in?

Morning all, how can I remove my old apple Id from my I tunes account and replace it with the new apple ID, ?
Many thanks
Kimber. Lee

Sign out of iTunes and sign in with the new ID. On your computer, under on of the iTunes menus, on your iPad Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap on the Apple ID.
Note that all apps downloaded under the previous ID are locked to that ID, and you will have to sign back onto it for any updates.

Can I used an unlocked iPhone 5S from US here in the Philippines?

I was planning to buy an iPhone 5S in US anf bring it here in our country (Philippines) so I was asking if I can used it with our carrier.

It can be used on GSM networks, but not on LTE because the Asian bands are different from the North American bands.
Note also that if it needs service it will have to be returned to the US, because service and warranty are only provided in the country where the phone was purchased.
You would be better off getting a phone locally.

Why can't i down load a movie from I-tunes using the 3 g wireless network? I have no wi-fi at home power is out.

I need help with downloading movies without having a wi fi connection, during this recent snow storm in CT we have lost power to our house, so no WI FI. I would like to use the 3 G network but it doesn't work to down load I-tune rented movies? I don't understand this. This is why I bought the IPAD to watch movies away from home, or in the home if the pwr goes out.

There is a 20 meg download limit per file over 3G - if the film is larger than that (and unless it's a very short film it most likely will be) then you will need access to a wifi network.

I can no longer print to my MX870 from my desktop. The MX870 is on my network, not connected direct

I can still print from my laptop and my wife's computer.
The MX870 is not showing as a printer on my desktop, and when I try to add it, it doesn't show. Even though it shows as a scanner and fax. It works as a scanner, but not as a printer.
I tried reinstalling the software with no luck.

Anyone trying to connect to a Pixma MX### over a network has my sympathy.
This was a toughie.
The Pixma worked fine for Mac and over USB, but threw the error: "Printer Canon Pixma MX882 cannot be contacted over the network." when trying to print over the cabled network.
I got this Pixma MX880 series (MX882 specifically) to connect to Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit PC's using this method:
1) Install Apple's Bonjour networking protocol which is recognized by many printers including the Pixma. (you may need to install the Pixma driver if you haven't already. You can download it from Canon's drivers pages.)
2) Once installed, launch the Bonjour printer wizard to add the Pixma.
3) In the printer list, right click teh Pixma and open "Printer Properties"
4) In the "Advanced" tab, switch the printer driver to "Pixma MX880 fax printer" drver and click the "Apply" button.
(The fax driver should load)
5) Switch BACK to the "Pixma 880 Printer" driver and click the "Apply" button. Then click "OK"
Try your print job again.
This got the Pixma MX882 working on 5 different Windows boxes in no time by using the special Bonjour port created by the Bonjour Printer wizard (you can ee it in Printer Properties, "Ports" tab), but without the fax driver portion installed, it would not work. Both parts are needed and the driver installer does not appear to add the fax capabilities by default in all circumstances.
This solution may also work for numerous 2nd tier printer brands: Brother, Epson, Kodak that Win 7 struggles to connect to over a network.

Why can I not connect to my MAC from a PC on the same network

I have a correctly formatted external HD mounted on my MacBook Air (Mac OSX version 10. 7. 5. Lion) and can access it without problems from my MacBook Pro, but when I am trying to access it from a PC (both Windows XP and Windows 7) the PC can "see" my MacBook Air on the network, but cannot connect to it - the PC connect window continues to ask for the password, even I am sure I am writing the correct password

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

How can you stop your ipod touch data from being restored on the computer with a program that lets you see your deleated safari history

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppp pppppppppppppp

Delete the backup from iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and highlight the backup and click on delete. You have to do that after every sync. Also, make sure that you empty the recycle bin (PC) or trash (Mac) to really delete the backup.
Also, in the future you can turn on Private browsings in Settings>Safari or go there and Clear History right before you sync.

I can't login to email since updating from ATT classic to the new email system.

I recently updated the Att.net email software from classic and now when it goes to login it just runs incessently without ever logging in and retrieving email from the home page. And now I can't find a link to go back to classic email with att.net. Is there something in the settings of Firefox that I can adjust? Or help me get back to classic email.
