Can't update ibook g3 running 10.4.11

hello
I have an ibook g3 running 10.4.11 and i want to update it
but when I download the updater from the apple web site it gives me an error and says I cant continue. I need help
Thanks

Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Mac OS X 10.4.11 is as far as you can update via download.
Not all iBooks are capable of running Mac OS X 10.5. Check out the system requirements here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3759?viewlocale=en_US
If your iBook is supported for Mac OS X 10.5, you will need to buy the Leopard full retail installation DVD in order to upgrade. After installing Mac OS X 10.5, you can then download and apply the update to Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Need to update to 64 bit in order to run TurboTax 2012. Can this be done? If so, how?

You have three ways:
1. Press 6 and 4 keys when your computer starts to boot with the 64-bit kernel-
2. Download Startup Mode Selector and select 64-bit > http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/992591/SMS/32-%20or%2064-bit%20Kernel%20Startup%20Mod e%20Selector.zip

Also, itunes will not install on the computer after reinstalling several times and rebooting.

Can't update or install

Posted this under hardware, should probably be here instead since it's more of a software install/update question.
I have a 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo imac with 1gb of 800mhz ddr ram
Currently I have osx 10.5.5
Over the past few months I've been unable to update my software - I click on 'Install' and it thinks about it, then the 'Install' button unshades itself and nothing happens.
I've been trying to use the mac version of openoffice, but have been having real difficulties with lots of crashing etc. I decided to give the iWork trial a go, but it requires me to update osx - but as I described above, I can't update it without running a software update.
I have now downloaded the latest update direct from the apple website and I loaded the dmg successfully and it ran. When I get to the point in the installation where I select the folder and click install I get nada - nothing.
Scratching my head here - I've got no idea what else to try!
Note: I do have little snitch installed, though I've checked the updates have free access and have even disabled it in the hope it was just unable to access the net or something.
I have tried a full shutdown, unplug and wait ten mins as well as a verify disk & repair permissions.
Nothing seems to work!

What happens when you select the update package file in the folder in the mounted disk image & right (or control) click on it in the Finder? Do you get an "Open with... " option in the contextual popup menu, & if so, what app does it list as the default? If it does not say "Installer" then this app may somehow be missing, damaged, or relocated; or have incorrect permissions.
The app should be at path /System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app. If it is there, try double-clicking on it directly to see if it will launch. (It should just present a standard Open window. You can cancel that & quit the app since for this test we just want to see if it can launch.)
Its permissions (from the 'Get Info' window) should include system as owner with read & write permissions. If not, run Disk Utility's Repair Permissions routine. (You may want to run this routine anyway just to be on the safe side, but it will take several minutes to complete.)

I have a 4g touch. I updated ibook in itunes and now, every time I sync, I get the message that the app won't run in os6. Is there any way I can revert the app in itunes so I have the latest version that will work with OS6?

I recently updated ibook in my Itunes. Now, every time I sync, I get the message that it won't update the ipod as ibook won't run in OS6. Is there any way I can revert the ibook app in itunes so it quits trying to install the current ibook app. I am trying to stop getting the warning message. I am also concerned if I ever have to reinstall the app.

Delete the app from the iTunes library on your computer and then transfer the version from iPod to computer by:

You could go hunting for a fair price on a refurbished or restored Intel-based Mac or MacBook, as most early models of CoreDuo and Core2Duo can run Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and some much more recent.
The Apple Store's Special Deals section that is online has some fairly recent examples of hardware with an OS, original accessories as noted, power cord, and complementary one year coverage. Eligibility for extended AppleCare plans are noted & may be available for various items in the store. Subject to availability. Refurbished. Like new. The price difference can be about the same as the additional two year AppleCare plan may cost, so get that too.
Third party repaired restored or available through other channels vary in quality, quantity, condition, and may be lacking in some or most original accessories; they should include basic hardware as originally equipped and have the boot-install software disc set as intended for that build model & year specification, included.
Auction sites rarely have that much of a kit together, w/ missing discs, scruffy, extra fees, etc. On the other hand, companies that restore and repair Macs for a living and are authorized Apple service centers may have something, if you aren't in the market for something holiday new or really quick. Older models if reasonably refurbished can still shine years later.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can I update my ibook G4 to work with my ipod touch?

My ibook is running OS X 10.4.11 and I have itunes 9.2.1. When I try and sync my ipod touch 3rd generation, I get a message saying that I need a newer version of itunes to sync my ipod. When i check for updates in itunes, nothing comes up. When I go to update to Itunes 10.5, my ibook doesn't fit the system requirements. What do I do? I just received this ibook, and I've never had a Mac before. Thanks in advance!

Any iOS device with iOS 4.0 or later requires iTunes 10.x. > iTunes 10.x requires the current version of Safari. > The current version of Safari requires 10.5.8.
When you purchase Leopard 10.5 you will need to update to 10.5.8 (Combo Update) to be able to use iTunes and sync your devices. And while you can sync with earlier versions of iTunes 10.x, some features will be unavailable, which are only available in the (as of now current) 10.5.2.

How to I update to a 7.0 so that I can add the iBook app to my ipad

How do I update to a 7.0 so that I can add the iBook app to my iPad

What generation iPad do you have?
The First generation iPad cannot be updated past iOS 5.1.1
However you should be able to get the last compatible version of the iBooks App by tapping on the install button.
You might need to download first to a computer running itunes or a device that can take the newest version before you will get the option for the last compatible version.

I suppose all you can do is be content with the limitations of your old iBook G4 running Tiger. It would be possible to upgrade to 10.5 Leopard, but I would not recommend doing that because that secondhand software is quite expensive, so giving little improvement over what you have.
If you desire a more modern operating system, you will need a more modern 'Intel' computer. I expect you realise that and are simply seeking confirmation of that.

I have an old ibook G4, how can I update my OS?

I have an old ibbok G4, how can I update my OS to a newer version?

The Tiger 10.4(.11) is a fine operating system and so far probably the longest running one up to now. It was updated several more times until they got Leopard 10.5; and coincidentally, part of that time was when intel-based macs were being developed, and they shipped with a special build version of Tiger. You'd need the retail Tiger install DVD. And a later download of Combo update 10.4.11.
You could to an 'archive and install' that would install a new System Folder, and leave the older one in the hard disk drive for you to look at awhile and wonder what to do with it; there is a way (I've forgotten) on how to re-use some of that stuff. When upgrading from Panther several years ago, I decided to make a clone of the Panther on an externally enclosed hard disk drive with a FireWire connection, that has its own power supply, and has an oxford-type chipset to allow for Mac OS X booting from there. So a clone (carbon copy cloner) was used to make a complete system clone on the external drive. I tested it several times to be sure, then I erased the hard disk drive in the iBook (and other computers, I had an iMac G4, too) and installed the main system, then added the Combo update to 10.4.11, and the last security updates available, then reinstalled my applications. Some applications like Tiger better, and some were made for later OS X. Now the trail is cold on support but Tiger 10.4.11 is much superior to Panther 10.3.9. A totally better experience.
{The advantage of an upgrade if you have other retail application installers, is the totally clean install gives you a chance to secure erase and overwrite one-pass zeros on the hard disk drive, and reformat it. But if you upgrade by archive & install, you have all those older applications, but have to figure out how to use them in the new system, which is in its own new folder. The older OS X won't boot, so later it would be put to trash.}
I was able to use Pacifist to reinstall some of the original applications from the older restore-install DVD the computer shipped with, as it can extract items from an install DVD without running the Installer, and it will install them from the desktop. But for a novice, this may not be a good idea.
Anyway, I suggest you start a new thread to address this upgrade question as it warrants due consideration.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can't Update 10.2.8 on our G3 iBook

My wife and I have a iBook G3 running 700MGz and 256ram.
It has been a wonderful machine but we can't update it. There are about five or six updates and we can't get it to work.
As we update it quits and says updates have unexpectingly quit and this will not affect any programs. It does this every time about half way through downloading. Nothing installs at all.
I have tried to repair permissions but it still fails. We are running OS 10.2.8.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

When you click on "Software Update" in the Apple Menu, does it indicate that new software is available for your computer?
10.2.8 is the highest version of OS X 10.2. I suppose you know that?
You can't get 10.3 (and higher) via a software update (if that's what you are trying to do).
A lot of the update downloads available on Apple's website are for later versions of the OS, so those wouldn't work for you. (That's why I was asking for specifics.)

How can i update data in JTable at run time ?

i am trying to build a client/server architecture for conducting quizzes & online tests.. My client will return a object to the server after the test is over, which contains details about the participant, his score and other details. i am putting the incoming object to an Vector. I'll create a new thread each time for the incoming connection and insert the object to the Vector.. Now, please tell me tat, how can i update my table automatically at run time so tat, my table is updated whenever a new object is entered into vector..
here is my code for the table..
public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
    String columNames[] = { "ID", "NAME", "COLLEGE", "SCORE", "CELL" };
    /** Creates a new instance of MyTableModel */
    public MyTableModel() {
        Main.List = new Vector();
        SetDefaultData();
    public int getRowCount() {
        return Main.List == null ? 0 : Main.List.size();
    public int getColumnCount() {
        return columNames.length;
    public String getColumnName(int column) {
        return columNames[column];
    public boolean isCellEditable(int row,int col) {
        return false;
    public Object getValueAt(int rowindex, int columnindex) {
        if(rowindex < 0 || rowindex >= getRowCount())
            return "";
        Student row = (Student)Main.List.elementAt(rowindex);
        switch (columnindex)
            case 0 : return row.id;
            case 1 : return row.name;
            case 2 : return row.college;
            case 3 : return row.score;
            case 4 : return row.cell;
        return "";
    public String getTitle() {
        return "Student Table";
    private void SetDefaultData() {
        Main.List.removeAllElements();
        Main.List.addElement(new Student("CS041","Keerthivasan M","MNM",95,"9884326321"));
        Main.List.addElement(new Student("CS012","Arun M","MNM",90,"9884825780"));
        Main.List.addElement(new Student("CS019","Balaji S","MNM",79,"9841742068"));
        Main.List.addElement(new Student("CS005","Anand R","MNM",89,"9884130727"));
        Main.List.addElement(new Student("CS045","Manish J","MNM",55,"9841624625"));
        Main.List.addElement(new Student("CS013","Mangal S","MNM",5,"9841961742"));
}

In the future Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.

updated whenever a new object is entered into vector..You don't update the Vector directly. You should be creating a method in your TableModel, called "addRow(...)". This method will do two things:
a) add the Student object to the Vector
b) invoke the fireTableRowsInserted(..) method of AbstractTableModel. This will cause the table to be repainted.

I bought a book on itunes, and can't open it. tried to send it to my iphone so i could read it there and it won't let me carry it over. I have updated Ibook on my iphone. What do I do? I do not want to buy the book again.

You won't be able to open it on your computer, ibooks can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. How were you trying to get it to your phone, syncing it by selecting it on the iPhone's Books tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, or by dragging-and-dropping it from the Books part of your iTunes library over and onto the iPhone 'device' ? Another option is to try re-downloading it directly in the iBooks app on your iPhone via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in it (re-downloading).
