Can't upgrade because I am running MAC OSX 10.4.11 on a MacMini. Am I still secure?
I am getting alerts that my version of Firefox will not be supported much longer but I can't find an upgrade that works on my Mac Mini running MAC OSX 10.4.11. Shall I use a different browser?
As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs both OSX 10.5+ and '''Intel''' hardware. You have PPC. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0/system-requirements/
Two options since you have PPC: either continue to use Firefox 3.6 (3.6.25 is current, released yesterday) which you have. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Or you can use a third-party build from http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ in order to have Firefox 9.0 though do note http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported

I just want to download Firefox 3.6 again
I downloaded Firefox 4 onto my PowerPC G4, 1.67GHz running Mac OSX 10.5.6. When I try to open it I get error message You cannot open the application “Firefox” because it is not supported on this architecture.Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

CAN'T UPGRADE BECAUSE CAN'T AFFORD FC STUDIO, SO OTHER PROBS ARISE!
This is a problem which is building one step at a time, and it begins with OSX upgrades. I had to stop at 10.4.8 because - as a long-time user (professionally) of Final Cut Pro, upgrading beyond that renders many aspects of my version (4.5 HD) useless along with DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, etc. (those bundled with it). I found out the hard way, and had to downgrade back to 10.4.8.
However, now items such as my Address Book, iCal and Mail - which I use because of the compatability issues we all used to love about Macs, are not sync-able on .mac. The systems says I must have the 'latest version' - which is part of the new operating system (which I can not upgrade to!)
Therefore my .mac account, my ability to access the info I need when at a remote location, all are stuck in the water because Mac will not 'support' Final Cut Pro 4.5HD... I appreciate how good Final Cut Studio is: I have purchased it for school's I work with and used it myself at work locations, but personally, the $699.00 upgrade to FC Studio is not feasible for me at this time. The $199.00 upgrade was offered only until March of this year - and it was not brought to my attention until it was too late and unaffordable.
Does anybody have any ideas? I am looking for solutions.. and appreciate your input.
Respctfully,

G5 dual 2 ghz ppc 1 gb ddr sdram Mac OS X (10.4.8) FINAL CUT HD, ISYNC 2.3Thanks for the input; you are all correct - especially Gig - in that FCS is a significant upward change. I have used it, purchased it for some schools and kick myself every day i didn't get the 199 update info in time. i know they offered it for a while, but I was changing residences and missed out. I begged Apple to make an exception, but they refused. It's business. Truthfully, i need to just suck it up and get the FCS and yes - more gigs, Gig!
For now, live with my woes...most of work currently is done through a day job in the business, so my side businesses are not the priority any way. As you said G, I am sure I could make it back fairly quickly...
So quit whining, BH Weber!
Thanks as always guys...

What software can I update with on my powerpc g5. Running Mac osx 10.4.11, What software can I update with on my powerpc g5. Running Mac osx 10.4.11. Since it doesn't have Intel dual core processor, can't do Snow Leopard right? Is there anyway to upgrade the software?
Snow is Intel only. You could get Leopard 10.5 by purchasing a Retail (black) Disk off eBay or calling Apple Service and ordering one from them. That would allow you to run Safai 5 and iTunes 10, I believe, but would lose Classic support in the process.

I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

I have an external hard drive 1 TB - it says that 559GB has been used , but I can't see any files at all.
Is there a way to recover those files. I have a lot of photos on it. I have an IMac and running MAC OSX versuib 10.7.5 I am new to Mac, so I hope somebody can give me some advice.
Cheersif it's ntfs microsofts filesystem then you need a windows machine to recover them

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this mac
Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

Why can't i access Pages on my mac osx Maverics version 10.9.5. Do i need to upgrade to Yosemite? I was using it yesterday just fine.
Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
Try this even if you don’t see the red light.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
Do this twice
4. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the appropriate method.
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
Audio Devices window
Side Bar
Click the Built-in Output.
Make sure that no box is checked under “Mute”. -
HT1444 can I upgrade Mountain Lion to a Mac 10.5.8
can I upgrade Mountain Lion to a Mac 10.5.8?
It depends upon your Mac. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
Upgrading to Mountain Lion - http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade
Mac OS X: System requirements for Mountain Lion (10.8) - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html

Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
Incidentally, you posted this in the 10.3 and earlier forum. Nobody is going to see it here so it would be good if you selected the correct forum next time you ask a question. -
Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?
Hi
Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

Can i upgrade to 10.5 on mac mini power pc 1.4ghz
can i upgrade to 10.5 on mac mini power pc 1.4ghz I'm at 10.4.11 and nothing works anymore ?
Hi James, yes you can.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
But if it's a better Browser you need, then...
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
I'd avoid version 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.

SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
The last version with Mac OS 10.4 and PPC support was SeaMonkey 2.0.14.
The last version seamonkey-for-ppc - 2.26 RELEASE - Mac OS X 10.5.x - PPC.

Presently running mac osx 10.5.8. Recent Firefox update says it no longer works with osx 10.5 and it's no longer supported by apple. Any suggestins?
Use an earlier version of Firefox, use Safari, or upgrade to a later version of OS X. Any Intel Mac can run Snow Leopard.
Latest version of Safari for Leopard: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1422

where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file. mac osx reader XI
every time i click on a file to downloac
i get a reader message Before viewing PDF ... you must launch adobe reader and then accept the End User License Agreement. Ive searched every part of the menu for this and cant fine itOk, so the Reader app works. Fine, but why did you say ",the reader won't open any more", that led us a confusing direction.
Ok, the problem is most likely caused because you downloaded Acrobat Pro, which takes over from Reader, then got rid of it. You now have part of Acrobat in Safari, not part of Adobe Reader.
There are two things to try to fix this. The first and easiest is to download and install Adobe Reader again. That should puts its stuff back in Safari with a bit of luck.
Important note for others following this thread. Downloading Adobe Reader is not going to help you if you have not understood and followed the instructions to "launch" Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat). Make sure you understand what "launch" means before downloading anything again.
