I recently bought a secondhand PowerBook G4 but there were no installation discs with it and at present I am unable to install any software, where is it possible to obtain a set of the discs so that I can reinstall the software to try and resolve this problem.
Many thanks.
You may also want to try eBay. Finding disks for a machine that old will be difficult though.
Best of luck.

Unable to install ANY software- help!
I'm not sure when this started, but I am not able to install ANY software anymore. My system met the requirements for any software I've tried to install recently- any ideas why it's not working?
I go through the installing sequence... choose the drive, enter my password, accept the terms etc etc (maybe it's not in that order) and the progress bar reaches the end and I receive a message along the lines of "an error occured during installation please try again"Try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Oh, and it would help if you could be specific about what software you cannot install. -
The reason why I ask, is because I have another laptop which I then installed iTunes on (this was to overcome the issue of the error message and reduce the risk of losing my music etc. on my first laptop). I cannot see any of my music on the second laptop, even when I attach my iPod. I authorised the second laptop to link but as I cannot open iTunes on my first laptop, I cannot access my music. I'm assuming iTunes accounts are only stored on individual laptops/PCs and cannot be accessed remotely?? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm not sure what I can do.
Your iTunes library, media, playlists, and iOS device backups are safe. Please visitTroubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details. The steps in the second box should get iTunes back on track.
I don't make any use of the homesharing feature so I can't really comment on it, but if you want to change which computer you use to manage your devices see this migrate iTunes library post.

Can anyone help me- I recently had an archive operating reinstall completed at the genius bar (so they didn't have to delete my hard drive), but now my battery says "not charging." It used to hold a 2.5 hour charge, and now nothing. Can anyone help?
Hi, Michelle. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Have you tried resetting the SMC? The SMC (System Management Controller) has control over the charging function, so resetting it may help. -

Hey, can anyone help?
My bank account is not in euros but the two times 1,98 euros happened before I purchased anything from the store so I really don't understand! Thanks in advance!Each time that you add or change the credit card details on your account a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

HT4356 Help. I recently bought a Brother MFC-J4410DW + printer
Help. I recently bought a Brother MFC-J4410DW + printer/scanner/copier and I cannot figure out how to make it wirelessly print from my Mac desktop. I have OSX 10.8.3. I have tried downloading so many drivers and still nothing. Any advice?
If this is the wrong place for this then I am sorry. I have tried the brother help site and still nothing.
Thanks in advance... or even just pointing me in the right direction.
-JRIs your printer connected to your network? LAN / WLAN. If you can connect it to LAN for testing. do so! If you have configured the printer in the LAN access the printer through your browser (type in ip-adress). Normally printers have a webapplication to configure them. Check in their if you can do any settings --> Wireless. If possible give printer (WLAN)- IP, diconnect LAN and try to access webapplication through wireless. If that is possible it should be possible to print by manually configuring your printer in your operating system --> Preferences-->printe&scan--> add(+)-->IP --> put in your settings!

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder
For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

hi all i have recently bought a second hand imac but didnt recieve the administrator passwords any suggestions?
If you can't get the discs, call Apple with the serial # and ask for them. They should send them to you for a reasonable charge.

== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== todayIt turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first. Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue. Thanks anyway.

I have problems with my macbook pro ... I recently bought "OS X Lion Mountain" but complete installation did not work ... purchases every time when I look biem appstore is still installed ... so now I have OS X version 10.8.3 ...
does it say not installed or does it say "download" in app store purchases?
if it say's download, then it's there for future use if you need to download it again.
see image below - i'm running Mountain Lion and it say's download in my App Store. -
I've bought a Macbook Pro yesterday, but there is no mac os xlion on it. Now my question is where can I download it for free?
Submit your claim here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
In about a week, they will send you a code to download it from the Mac App Store for free. -
I need to how can I have Mac OS Lion, as I bought my Macbook Pro in beginning of June 2011 from Apple Store in US.
The serial number of my product is C0*******H2M. Please confirm me that I can have it for free, and how could I install it. Many Thanks.
<Edited by Host>Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion. -
I recently bought an ablum from iTunes, but the songs are randomly stopping and skipping about 45 seconds into the song. What is the problem?
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
