Can I put the latest software on this iBook?
I have a IBook and I want to install the latest mac software. Is this possible?!
Hi, Colin. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you can tell us the exact iBook model, we will be able to better advise you. You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
No iBook can run the latest version of the Mac operating system, though. iBooks have a PowerPC processor. Beginning with Mac OS X 10.6, an Intel processor is required to run that version of the operating system. Upgrading the RAM and/or the hard drive may be required to upgrade.

Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Requirements
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Requirements
Lion System Requirements

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

Can you put the new iworks on a ibook g3?
I am a huge apple fan. I have the iphone, ipad2 and an imac at work. I recently came across what I beleive is a ibook G3. ( it is dead and have to buy a wall charger for it). My question is this...
1. Can I add the new iworks to this computer?
2. Can I use the same iworks that I have on my imac for this G3 or do I need to buy a new software?
3. Does the G3 have Garageband?
ThanksCheck out the system requirements for iWork:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3879
You may be able to find a copy of iWork '05 that would work on the iBook.
If the iBook is all white, has two USB ports, and just says "iBook" under the display, it's an iBook G3 (Dual USB).
iBook G4s say "iBook G4" on the bezel beneath the display.
MacBooks look similar, and say "MacBook" beneath the display. -
How do I block this msg from always popping up "iTunes requires Safari 4.0.3 or later to be installed to use the iTunes Store within iTunes. Use Software Update to download and install the latest version of Safari". I cannot download this software bc my lap top is to old. The msg literally pops up everytime I make any moves on itunes and is VERY annoying.
I have a 2006 MacBook with an Mac OS X version 10.5.
In that case, try downloading a Safari 5.0.5 for leopard from the following location:

I can't download the latest software update beyond 10.5.8
I want to purchase the new Lion and magic trackpad, but I can't update my software beyond 10.5.8 and they need the latest Leopard update to get started.
Any sugestions on how to fix this.You would need to purchase the install disks for Snow leopard from Apple or another reseller.

Can I put the Hard Drive from old iBook into new iBook?
I need a new motherboard for my old iBook which has no other damage. New motherboard costs about the same as a new iBook;
so can I have the drive from the old iBook put into a new iBook? Old iBook is about 2 years old.
Thanks!
Gareth
< Edited by Host >Gareth; there are no iBooks with Intel processors. These are MacBooks.
As for your question, it's unlikely that you could, as the new Macs appear to have different firmware on the drives. It would also invalidate the warranty on a new computer.
Far easier to put the old drive into an external FW or USB enclosure and use it to transfer your files, applications and settings during first boot of the new Mac using the Setup Assistant. -
I have set up another user screen on my PC (MS Windows 7) & downloaded iTunes and then downloaded the latest software version. The sync has taken over an hour so far, is this normal? It is my niece's iPod and she has her music library on her laptop but has not downloaded the latest software - does this cause a clash if the iPod is registered to a different PC? Any help or guidance in an idiots simple way would be most appreciated. JT
It is the update firmware is taking so long? It can take an hour or more for the download.
If you do the update on other than the syncing computer, all the music and apps will not be on the iPod after the update see:

I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!
Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance
You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
Here's the link for the US. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it. -

Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3? iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.
If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod.
