Can i still get the 10.5.8 upgrade from 10.3.9

Can i still get the 10.5.8 upgrade from 10.3.9 and will this help preformance

Ok, PowerBook G4's came with 10.3, and the maximum OS it can handle is 10.5.8
There is no security updates for PowerPC on 10.5 since July 2011, (but there was for 10.5.8 on Intel processors just a few days ago.)
So your course of action is to buy a 10.5 Leopard retail disk at Amazon or elsewhere.
Backup data off the machine, hold the c key down and boot, erase and install should do the best for performance, also your skipping 10.4, then Software Update fully.
Won't be secure for anything online, so don't use it for that. You should still be able to find some PowerPC based software if you look hard enough as there is still 16.5% of users on 10.5 and 40% on 10.6 (Intel processors only) which can run PowerPC based software via emulation.
I can't tell you what the performance would be on your machine, but if you don't like it I guess your could reinstall 10.3 again, don't know if you will get any security updates or not.
They don't make laptops like yours anymore, the new Mac laptops last about 4-5 years and they crap out. Got the weakest keyboards too.

    If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. 
    Good luck.

  • Can I still get the support of the first gen iPhone if I buy Applecare?

    Can I still get the support of the first generation iPhone if I buy Applecare? If I can't then can it be replaced by Apple?

    Sorry, but you cannot buy AppleCare after the original one year warranty on your iPhone expired. If your  phone is damaged you can purchase an exchange for a refurbished one.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • HELP! Can I retrieve my previous session? I only just ticked the "open with previous session" preference but it seems too late! Can I still get the old pages/tabs I had open?

    HELP! Can I retrieve my previous session? I only just ticked the "open with previous session" preference but it seems too late! Can I still get the old pages/tabs I had open?

    That could be a problem, unfortunately.
    But most likely the pages you were on are stored in the History list. Try pressing Cmd+Shift+H to get the History window.
    To help prevent this from happening to you again in the future, I can recommend the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324/ Session Manager]. It is quite powerful but may not be able to help you any more than the History at this point.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.

  • I already replaced the battery in my iPod nano, can I still get the replacement?

    I applied for the replacement of my iPod nano, 1st gen. I replaced the battery myself a couple of years ago. Can I still get the replacement? I'm still waiting for my box to send the nano back in but don't want to send it if it's just going to get rejected. Is it possible I could even get charged for evaluation if I send it in?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    The recall is due to the original batteries being faulty
    If you replaced the battery yourself, then you don't have a faulty battery anymore so why bother sending it back?

    Do you get a send error message or a red "!" when you send?  Do you have a data plan on your account?  Check that your carrier has you provisioned for MMS.

  • Can I still get the free upgrade to WIndows 7 that Lenovo offered when I purchased?

    I purchased in July 2010 (so my warranty ran out in July 2011) and had to get Windows XP Pro because we were running an application that would not yet run Windows 7.  They have finally worked it out, and I'm ready to move to 7 - can I still get this from Lenovo?  Was it by any chance loaded on this machine (SL410 - 2842-GCU) for me to upgrade?  Thanks for any advice.
    Matt

    I tried to find the system specs from the model number you gave,there seems to be a typo error. You can check here if yours came with Win7 and order it from lenovo for a nominal fee

  • Can I still get the student version of Photoshop CS5?

    I was told to get Photoshop for my class, so I got the student version of CS6.  What they didn't tell me is that I needed CS5.  Can I still get it?  Can I download it or does it have to come on a CD?

    No. You can only buy current versions. At best you can download CS5 as a trial here:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    I don't see why that should matter in any way, though. Whatever they are going to teach will use the same methodology and techniques in both programs...

  • Can i still get the Gen. 1 phone

    I had the 1st generation iphone, but it was washed away by the ocean back in sept. My parents are letting me get an iphone again for christmas ( it was their way of showing responsibility) and i really want the 1st generation phone and not the new one. If i go to the apple store and give them my broken one, can i get the 1st gen phone for the fee they charge or will i get the new one?

    They may not replace it at all. The program says that if it has been liquid damaged or catastrophically damaged, then it does not qualify of the out-of-warranty-service. If they will replace it under the out-of-warranty program then it would be a first gen iphone. If not you will have to purchase a new iphone 3g or try to find someone who is selling their first gen iphone.
    "Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone and it requires service for any other hardware failure, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee listed below. Your replacement iPhone may be new or refurbished.
    iPhone 3G Out-of-Warranty Service
    8GB $199
    16GB $299
    Original iPhone Out-of-Warranty Service
    4GB & 8GB $199
    16GB $249
    *All fees in US dollars and exclude applicable taxes
    An iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty Service if it is no longer eligible for warranty service and is determined by Apple to be repairable. If Apple determines that an iPhone is not repairable, for example, if it has failed due to liquid damage or catastrophic damage where the iPhone has been disassembled into multiple pieces then Out-of-Warranty Service is not available and the iPhone will be returned.
    Apple may determine that your iPhone is not eligible for Out-of-Warranty Service. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details."
