Can't get PowerBook G4 Titanium 800 MHz to run Leopard 10.5?

I recently bought a PowerBook G4 Titanium 800 MHz A1001 model and I want to install Leopard (10.5) on it.
I have tried both of the "faking out the leopard installation" http://lowendmac.com/osx/leopard/openfirmware.html but it doesn't want to work for me.
What else can I try?
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
To help the op with this.. I tried to install Leopard on my G4 Pismo(Was G3 500) just for giggles.. and by using firewire target disk mode or FTDM.. it did install and boot up.. so yes, I can confirm that this does work.

You don't.
Adobe does not make a flash player for ipad.
Do a forum search as this is discussed over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.

Can I get an upgrade from 667 MHz to 867 MHz for a PowerBook G4?

I'd like to use my old PowerBook to support an iPod Touch for a family member, but need to install Leopard to do that. I bought a new copy of the OS for this but can't get it to install and now see that I need 867 MHz and have 667. What to do?

The deal-breaker may not be the processor but the lack of USB 2.0 on the older PowerBooks. Newer iPods require USB 2.0 and a 667mHz PBG4 has USB 1.1.
You can use a Cardbus adaptor to provide USB 2.0, like this:
IOGEAR Hi-Speed USB 2.0 CardBus 2 Port USB 2.0 for Laptops
These are getting harder to find as newer computers ship with USB 2.0 capability.
FWIW, I recently bought Leo by calling the Apple Store and installed in on a Powermac G4 1.25Ghz with 1.75G of RAM and a 64MB VRAM video card. It is not very limber compared to Tiger on the same machine, Even if you use the installer hack, I'm afraid you will have an mostly unusable computer.

Can an old Powerbook G4 titanium run OS 10.4

I have got two questions:
- Can I install Mac OS 10.4 on my old Powerbook G4 titanium and upgrade to OS 10.4.9 or OS 10.4.11 for free?
- If my old powerbook can run OS 10.4.9 or 10.4.11 will I still be able to boot in OS 9 since I have a few programs that I use regularily?
Best regards
Thomas

The upgrade to Tiger 10.4 is not free. You have to buy the Tiger installer. Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A and M9639Z/A . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray).
Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521
Possible alternative - OS X Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD $74.95

How can I get Powerbook G4/867Mhz/OS X 10.2.3 to start up?

Hi! My powerbook will not boot up. I need to get my recent data from HD
Stalls on blinking question mark.
Restarting from original install/restore CD results in a "restart " message.
Hardware test says error in mass storage error code 2STF/1/4
Restart from Diskwarrior 3.0 also results in a "restart" message
opening startup manager shows only the start up CD or Diskwarrior (if inserted in combo drive). starting up through start up manager results in the apple logo, rolling circle, then two lines appear across screen made up of dots and lines, and freeze.
reset PRAM does not help. can here the chimes but ends at the flashing question mark eventually.
opening firmware mode does not help. again ends at the flashing question mark.
connecting to another powerbook G4, imac, G5, using firewire 400 cable to open HD in firewire target mode does not work.
batteries are good.
I don't know what else I can do.
I do not have a apple repair shop anywhere near me.
Any ideas?
thanks

fanalim:
I tried to reset password using another OS 10.2.3 installation CD but it didnt boot up with it.
I don't understand why not. Your computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.2.1 and Mac OS 9.2.2, and later with Mac OS X 10.2.3 and Mac OS 9.2.2. The only thing I can think of is that since you are now running Panther it will not boot the older system, although that should not matter.
I would like to reset the original password. I do not want to lose any applications already installed.
If you do not have any data that you need to save, and all you are concerned about is the applications, you can follow the procedure outlined in Niel's post Making the Setup Assistant reappear. You will then set up a new admin account, then log into the new account and go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and delete the old accounts.

Can't get Powerbook to boot up...

I have a powerbook 15" that I purchased in 2005; I usually have it in sleep mode last and when I went to use it last night, I noticed that the light in the front wasn't flickering on and off. I tried to power it up using the on/off button, but that didn't work either, so I don't know what's going on. Can't get it to boot up no matter how long I hold the power button. Any suggestions?

Hi Emilio,
If the suggestion that you received from Philo2 doesn't solve the problem, you might try holding down the start button for ten seconds. Wait a few seconds then try to start it again.
Sometimes these PowerBooks go into deep sleep and don't respond to anything but a new startup.

Where can I buy Powerbook G4 Titanium?

I have been searching around Apple Website, but could not find any information regarding powerbook G4 Titanium. Maybe someone can suggest where I can buy the Powerbook Titanium?

The thing to keep in mind whenever buying from eBay, Craigslist, or any other private party classifieds is "buyer beware." I find that there are a lot of people who advertise on Craigslist who try to jack up the "value" of their Macs by offering pre-installed software or a lot of music in their iTunes library. Neither really adds much in the way of any real value and should not even be part of any negotiations as to final selling price. Another thing I find with the folks on Craigslist is that they either don't really know the actual specs of the computers they are selling or they offer misleading info in the hopes that a potential buyer won't know the specs. As with any purchase, first do your research (lowendmac.com and everymac.com offer lots of good info on specs, features, and approximate street value) then meet with the seller in person so you can check out the condition of the computer first hand. If he/she won't or can't meet you, find another seller. The more you know going into a deal, the better off you'll be. I suppose this is just common sense advice, but it's surprising how many people don't take the time to educate themselves.

P7N Platinum Can't get FSB speed over 350 mHz

Trying to overclock a bit but when I use BIOS, won't let me change multiplier unless some speedstep is turned off. I cant find where in the BIOS I have an option to turn it off. I am using BIOS ver. 1.3. Also, when I use Dual-corecenter with windows running, I can get FSB up to 350 MHz and all is stable but will not go above 350 MHz...I select 400 in the dropdown and it just resets to 350. So, if anyone can let me know how to turn off the safestep and/or how to increase the multiplier in BIOS 1.3 that would be great. I have heard that I can go to 3.7 GHz with Wolfdale 3.0 GHz E8400 and stock fan & heatsink. I have an Antec air-cooled full case with plenty of airflow. At 3.150 GHz, CPU temperature is only 71F when surfing or playing music and doesn't go above 83F when playing my most intensive games. Answers to these three questions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
Bob ???

The automatic shutdown point of your CPU is somewhere around 90-100°C (Core Temperature). The processor will automatically underclock and undervolt itself if the core (!) temperatures are approaching this point. That is how you know when the processor definately running too hot. 50°C is a very safe but also rather conservative threshold. If your CPU approaches the 60°-70°C area and even exceeds 70°C under full load (core temperatures), that is when you should really start to work on better cooling. However, 60°-65°C is still a rather safe range.

I've just bought a 2nd hand iMac running 10.7.5 but I can't get my HP Laserjet 2200DN up and running. The Applications Printers doesn't have an HP driver

I've just bought a reconditioned iMac running OSX 10.7.5 but I can't get my HP Laserjet 2200DN printer up and running. I used a Firewire cable to transfer all my stuff over to the iMac from a Power PC G5. However, the printer driver disappeared. The Print & Scan pane in System Preferences is now empty and when I press the + to add a printer the Add Printer pane has nothing in it either. Apple says os 10.7.5 already has printer software installled, but not on my iMac. It says in its list of compatible printers that it supports HP Laserjet 2200 (is absence of the 'DN' suffx siginifcant?) Apple also says to use Software Update to check if software is needed. Manual downloading from Apple, who say they've taken over from HP for this software doesnt' work either - I get a two-part download, one file is an unopenable '.dmg' document and the other is a '.dmg.part' document, similarly unopenable. I'm completely stumped. The HP Laserjet 2200DN is an excellent printer that serves all my needs but I'm beginning to think it may be too old for the iMac, but I sincerely hope not. Anybody out there with workable advice about how to solve this issue? I'd love to hear from you.
Alex Carr

Firstly, in Safari you will find a button on the right side of the toolbar: note the downward pointing arrow. If you click on that you will get the download progress bar.
I don't know what may be the problem with getting the driver working. I suggest you open Print & Scan preferences. CTRL- or RIGHT-click anywhere in the blank Printers list and click on the "Reset printing system" item in the context menu.
Assuming you have installed the printer drivers you downloaded by running the installer that appears after you mount the .dmg file, click on the Add [+] button to Add a printer. A window should open with your printer listed, hopefully (the printer must be turned on and already connected to the computer. Do a direct connection while getting this configuration set up.) Select the printer. Now, if the driver model name does not appear in the "Use:" dropdown menu, you will need to look for it in the list of available drivers. Once found, select it, then click on the Add button.

I have Quicktime pro 7.69 and I can't get it to Launch. I am using leopard 10.5.8 can anyone help me please

I am Using Mac leopard 10.5.8 and just loaded quicktime pro 7.69 and just can't get it to launch. Can anyone help me with this please
tommy

I am Using Mac leopard 10.5.8 and just loaded quicktime pro 7.69 and just can't get it to launch.
There is nothing new or separate to launch. When the QT 7.6.9 Player is keyed with your registration name and number, the player itself becomes the QT v7.6.9 "Pro" player with additional features "unlocked" for your use. For instance, if you have a QT compatible file loaded in your player and can now open the "Properties" window, then you have "Pro" feature access. In a similar manner, "File" menu transcoding and "Edit" menu features are now accessible.

Can't get java to initiate applet, or even run, please help

I need help, please. Need java to do some organic chem work, and I can't get it to work. I have Java 2 runtime SE - 1.4.1_05, virtual machine 1.4.1_05-b01, and plug-in the same as J2SE. The Web Start file was corrupted when it downloaded, so I removed it from the Add/Remove in control panel. I'm running windows 2000 Pro, I'm not a computer expert (means I need explicit instructions), I'm a vet student trying to do my homework, and study for exams. Any reply here will be very appreciated, or to my e mail [email protected] Thank you, Cindy

There are plenty of people here that can and will help, but you need to tell us what the problem is (details, error messages, code samples, etc)
Here's a general blurb, post back it it doesn't help.
This may duplicate some of what you've already done, if so fine. But please verify you've done exactly what is written or know why you shouldn't before proceeding. You may want to print these instructions before continuing.
Also note that this applies to the currrent java version installed on "standard" windows systems, only.
To download the current version of Java, go here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
and click on the word DOWNLOAD in the column labeled SDK in this line: Windows Offline installation (info)
After downloading, click on this page of installation instructions and read through #6:

Install the software according to the preceeding instructions. If you encounter
problems, see the section "Troubleshooting the Installation" in the installation instructions.
Below is a Helloworld program, copy and paste it into your editor and save it as "HelloWorld.java" Use capitalization, Java is case-sensitive. If you're using Notepad, quote the name when saving, otherwise Notepad adds ".txt" to the name. Go to DOS/command window and check that you've got the file where you want it and that it's named correctly.
-------save this program as HelloWorld.java--------
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main (String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "javac" - the program should print out a list of options, if not, set your PATH - see below.
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "javac HelloWorld.java" and the javac compiler will create HelloWorld.class. If it was successful it will not give any messages. Check that the file is created.
In the same directory as HelloWorld.java, enter "java -classpath . HelloWorld" with the spaces and the period. The program will run. If it doesn't, recheck that you followed the instructions.

(you should have already done this as part of the Java installation)
The CLASSPATH is another set of pointers that is used by Java to find the files that you create and want compiled and/or run. This setting is explained here:

How can I get size of fetched data size when run a SQL ?

Hi,
When I run a SQL how can I get fetched data size?
regards,

We can get it using some calculations:
1. SQL%ROWCOUNT attribute will fetch you number of rows returned in a SQL statement.
Problem-->Now you need to get the size of 1 row.
Solution-->
Step 1.We can get size of table from dba_segment data dictionary.
Select block_size from dba_segemnts where segment name like '%YOURTABLE%';
Step2 . Get count of rows in your table
Select count(*) from YOUR_TABLE
Step 3.
Get size of 1 row--> Divide result in Step1 by result in Step 2.
Required result--> multiple result in step3 with SQL%ROWCOUNT..
I hope this is what u want.

According to the error message, you are still using the same account.

I was able to reproduce the exact same error message when accessing my sharepoint.com site using an account with Global Administrator role, but without the proper licensing.
What happens if you go to https://gsmtrans123.sharepoint.com, or
https://gsmtrans123-my.sharepoint.com. Do you see any sharepoint sites, or do you get a error message?
Have you tried to open this in another browser, or cleared the cache in your current browser?
Could you try to create a new account, assign it the Global administrator role, and a SharePoint license, and then login to your admin site?
If all of those fail, you should probably create a Service Request using this form

Where can I get a version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?

I have Snow Leopard (10.6) on my iMAC and I did not upgrade to Lion as it is good enough for what I do with my iMAC.
Unfortunately, the Aperture version available in the App Store recommends MAC OS 1.7 or later.
Is there a previous version of Aperture, which is compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6), still available?
If so, where can I get it?
Thank you in advance to the Apple community.
Philippe

As keith alluded to if you stay with SL and get a version of Aperture that runs on it you will be locked into that. There will be no more updates for Aperture or the Raw Camera bundle.
So if that version of Aperture supports your camera and you have no plans to change cameras to something that is not supported in that version then you will be fine.
If you think you might be getting a new camera at some point then you might just want to bit the bullet and do the upgrades now.

Getting new 8 core today - will it run Leopard?

My 2006 Mac Pro died today. I have 4 SATA drives in it's bays. One of the HD's has a Snow Leopard install and another has Leopard 10.5.8 on it. The other two have media files on them. I want to drop all 4 into the new Mac Pro and pull the one it comes with (for now)
Will I be able to option boot into my 10.5.8 HD like I did with my old Mac or will the new 8 core not let me run an OS lower than what it came with?
I'm a Pro Tools user under a deadline and it would be extremely convenient (I'm really under the gun at the moment) to just boot right into my Leopard drive and keep working!
Thanks ahead of time!
Dan-

My suggestion would be to get an older Mac that is capable of running Leopard in your case. The newer Mac is only going to cause you grief with your older software.
