Can you use Tiger On An Ibook g3 ?

My friend is trying to install tiger on his Ibook G3, he has 640mb of ram, 500 mhrz, and currently is running mac os 10. when he tries to install tiger is says this cannot be installed on this computer? can any explain or maybe help to get it working thx!!

Yes of course the swapfile is used for managing oversubscribed phyiscal memory. But it is totally incorrect to say the system's boot HD size must be larger than 20gig to accommodate virtual memory requirements. Typical UNIX system normally reserve swapfile space no larger than size of physical memory and at best maybe 1.5x to 2x physical memory. In Mac OS X case the swapfile starts off being 64MB (I believe) and as needed more swapfile partitions are created doubling each time - i.e., 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, etc. From my experience of running Mac OS X I've never ever seen more than 4 swapfile partitions which aggregate to some 960MB - and this was a very extreme case on my 4.5gig RAM PowerMac system.
So in response to your statement - "Therefore on the hard drive a real "swap" file does exist and that file can be quite large." I would agree that a real swapfile(s) does/do exist but disagree with you on these swapfiles taking up large amounts of space on the HD unless you consider 1gig of HD space to be large.
The swapfile is a simple mechanism for dealing with physical memory oversubscription. Various flavors of UNIX deal with virtual memory in different ways and those that manage 'real' memory versus 'paged' memory are very different.

  • Can you use an itunes gift card to purchase ibooks?

    Can you use an itunes gift card to purchase ibooks on your iphone? If yes, how? When I attempt to purchase a book it automatically appears that it will automatically charge my stored card.
    Thanks!

    To use an iTune Gift Card to buy books...
    Open iTunes on your computer and click on the iTunes Store.
    You'll need to be signed in...
    Click on the little House icon in the dark gray bar across the top. (or Shift+Command+H)
    On the right side of the page under Quick Links click Redeem and enter your code.
    Then it will show your credit balance in the dark gray bar across the top next to your account name to let you know how much you have to spend.
    Then as you buy books, it'll deduct from the credit balanace.
    There is a distinction between, iTunes Gift Card and Apple Gift Card.
    Apple Gift Card: can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at any Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store...
    iTunes Gift Card: To give music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, or anything on the iTunes Store, the App Store, the iBooks Store or the Mac App Store, select an iTunes Gift Card

    Hello,
    You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
    We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

    "if you can use the Kindle app from iPad to Macbook, shouldn't you be able to do the same with an apple product?"
    No.
    The kndle app provides this feature.
    Ibooks does not.
    " I would rather buy books from iBooks"
    You can buy form whomever you like.
    " but not being able to go from device to device like in Kindle is a problem."
    You can read iboks on ipod touch/ipad/iphone, just not your computer.

  • HT5213 Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?

    Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?

    No, sorry.
    iBooks Author creates a hybrid epub that works on iPad only.
    Use Pages, InDesign, etc. to generate a standard epub that will work on both iPhone and iPad if that is your goal.

  • HT4059 Can I use Bookshare books on iBooks ?

    Can I use Bookshare books on iBooks? Will their format be compatible ?

    I don't think so. It appears that Bookshare uses the DAISY format, and iBooks uses ePub. According to the Bookshare site, you need Read2Go:

  • If you lost your install CD's for an iMac7,1. Can you use Snow Leopard to reboot/install?

    If you lost your install CD's for an iMac7,1. Can you use Snow Leopard to reboot/install?

    Best answer; see AnaMusic above.
    Will SL do? Yes, provided you use the SL retail disc. A grey disc from another Mac will not work.
    A few considerations -
    Be warned that printer drivers, and scanner drivers in particular will almost certainly need updating for SL. That could be a problem if the printer or scanner is more than a couple of years old.
    Many third party applications (and some Apple ones) may need updates for SL (Adobe particularly), so check with the vendors for compatability before you upgrade.
    You'll need Rosetta to run PPC apps like Appleworks and many MS Office or Adobe versions. Ensure you select it from the 'optional installations' when installing SL.
    Note also that any bundled applications that came with your Tiger original discs (iLife in particular) are not included on retail OS versions.

  • Can you use the same Apple ID on more than one MacBook Pro for updates and applications?

    We just got a few new MacBook Pro's and when I went to install updates it said I need to make an Apple ID.  Can you use the same Apple ID and email address for that Apple ID on multiple machines, or do I need them both to be unique per machine?  I'm not sure how that works when you have multiple machines.

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.

  • Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?

    Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?
    I understand they are royalty free, I am just confused about using the actual loops for films, videos, etc - if there is a special license you must purchase or what?
    Yes sure, it's a library and may be used a lot - but is it legal or against agreement?
    And to clarify - what about music I create on the program , that is ok right?

    If you purchased the software you have the right to use the loops that came with the software in the software to make whatever you want.

  • Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an AP and a DHCP server at the same time?

    Can you use the Airport Express A1264 as an Access Point and a DHCP server at the same time?
    I would like to use it as a DHCP server and AP at the same time in my LAN (no internet, just local machines through a few switches). I was lead to belive this could be the case from a few networking friends that haven't been friendly enough to help me out setting it up.

    I need it to act as a dLink/Cisco/Linksys/etc basic wifi router, in the fact that you can access it via wifi, and it will spit out DHCP addresses (192.168.1.xxx) to everything wired downstream of it.
    I want to simultaniously provide a Wifi connection and a LAN connection at the same time
    Thanks,

  • Can you use FaceTime using two iPads with same apple id

    Have two iPads for wife and I. Both use same apple ID account. Can you use FaceTime between them?

    Heres what you do. got to settings>facetime>add an email and than add another email (note: cannot be the same email that you use on your apple ID) A verifaction email will be sent. Go to your email account and verify the email by clicking on the link. Now using the other ipad, make a facetime call to the email you just verified and you can now facetime between the two!
    One more side note. Make sure that only the email you just verified has a check mark on it. The other ipad shoud have a check mark next to the orginal apple ID email.
