Charger for older iBook
I need to buy a new charger for my friend's older iBook (over 5 years old I am pretty sure) but I don't know much about it. The cord frayed at the end that plugs into the computer so I think it requires a full replacement. I don't know what model iBook it is, just that it's old and doesn't use MagSafe. Will any non-MagSafe charger do or does it need a specific one? Thanks.
You need to determine which iBook it is.
Is it one of the older, colored ones or is it all white?
If it's one of the all white ones, the _adapter for the iBook G4_ will work for a white G3 iBook (the ones with two USB ports), too.
No iBook can use the newer MagSafe adapter, though.

I have an iBook G4(1.2 GHz Pwer PC) with OS X 10.3.9. Currently using Safari 1.3.2 but it crashes quite often for what seems a variety of reasons. What browser would be optimal for this older iBook given my specifications? How would I obtain/download? Thanks.

I had a IBook G4 and an external hard drive as its back up.
IBook running something like Snow Lepord, anyway
I have a Intel Macbook now with Lion, Ive been told here there is a possible confliction between the AMP external harddrive and lion.
I will say a few times I have for limited time been able to access the drive on the newer MacBook, but then Lion (I think) drops it.
Any ideas out there?Disk Utility sees the drive, finder/desktop doesnt.
Click on the Desktop->Finder menu->Preferences->General->Show on Desktop->HDs and ext HDs.
Mac OS Extended (journaled) what's that mean and is the format the issue here?

No, that's not the issue. -
Virtual Instruments for older iBook?
Hi -- a newbie Q. I have Digital Performer 5 (on the Mac), on an iBook
G4, with 768 mgs RAM and 1.07 GHz processor. I am looking for an
"all-in-one" sample library (with really good acoustic / orchestral
instruments) in the $125 price range. The newer packages (VI.ONE,
PlugSoundPro) require a faster processor. Any suggestions?
Thanks!Camino is probably your best bet:

Yahoo messenger for older iBook?
Can someone help me here???
I want a version of Yahoo Messenger that will run on this iBook. I don't have Classic installed, so I'm not sure if Y Messenger 2.5.3 will work.
Beta 1 will not work, as it needs 10.3.9, which I don't have.
I tried emailing Yahoo, but they were of no real help.
Thanks!You can download the 10.3.9 update:

Where can I find a power charger for my G3 ibook
Just broke my 4 year old g3 iBook power charger by walking into the cord and snapping it off at the power source. Where can I find a replacement power cord charger for this 750pc G3 iBook?
There are third party choices for an adapter, also:
MCE Technologies
http://www.madsonline.com/index.html?
MacAlly adapter at Amazon.com
Micro Accessories adapter at Other World Computing
Apple's is the only one with the glowing ring to indicate charging status, though, and can be found here:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M89 43LL/A
I believe the one from Other World Computing is one of the sturdiest of the lot. The MacAlly adapter's cord is a bit flimsier than the one from Other World Computing, but both are working fine on our iBooks. We haven't tried the pricier ones.
If you have further questions about your iBook G3 (Dual USB), you may want to try posting in the iBook G3 (Dual USB) Forum.
You have posted in the iBook G4 Forum. -
I received a car charger for xmas. I have an iPhone 4. Is there a difference in the charging dock between the older and newer iphones? I don't want to damage it by shoving a cable in that is designed for a newer model.
there are 2 connectors the old pin30 and the new ligthing bolt
they don't look very much alike so if anybody were damage byt forcing it in it would be their own fault seeing how diffrent they are -
Can I publish my work produced with iBooks Author and make it available (free of charge) for my students only?
Yes. Put it on your own server, and/or send it out via email.

I have a older ipod and i need a charger for it the model
help please i have an older ipod and i need to find a charger for it please help model number m8541
So, if that is your iPod model, and you have a computer with a FireWire port, which even the current Macs do not have anymore, the cables are commonly available. However, the one to get depends on the type of FireWire port you have on the computer. The two likely types are 6-pin (older FireWire 400) and 9-pin (newer FireWire 800). Your iPod has the 6-pin (400) port.
Apple-centric vendor OWC has a selection of all types
http://eshop.macsales.com/catsearch/firewire+1394+cables
If your computer has 9-pin (800), you need a 6-pin (400) to 9-pin (800) cable. If it has 6-pin (400) that looks like the port on the iPod, then you need 6-pin to 6-pin. -
I purchased an iBook and when I try to download it I get sent in a circle. Message pops up that it's already been purchased & I need to go to store to download but it never downloads, stays in pause mode. I have been charged for the book but can't retrieve it. I've successfully purchased books before without trouble.very frustrated
Hi Peggs,
Try this:
Open your iBooks app on your iPad
Select the Store Button at the top
Select Purchased at the bottom
You will see your AppleID on the right at the bottom, then Redeem, then Support
Click on your Apple ID, and when the AppleID window comes up with the options, Sign Out
Then Sign In again and try redownloading your book
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Will install discs for an iBook (mid 2005) work on an older model (late 2004) ?
I have a nephew that got an old 1.2 GHz 30 GB iBook from a neighbor. It had OS X 10.4 on it, but was not running. I used some old discs from an eMac to fix the OS, but couldn't get any additional software to install. I want to get the newest install discs for this iBook (OSX 10.4.2 and iLife '06). I don't know if the discs will allow the install of the application software bundle to the older iBook. Does anyone know if it will work?
The eMac disk does not have all the necessary software for an iBook. If you reinstall the Mac OSX 10.4.x from a retail disk then your problem should be solved.

I'm looking for a template for writing an eBook in Pages. I know about exporting to PDF but wondered if I needed a specific type of template or another software of some kind. I have an older iBook G4 (and love it BTW) and am using Pages 3.03. Anybody with any ideas on what to od? Thanks
Peter,
does Pages v4 (09) work on a G4 chip? I think I've updated this old Mac iBook as far as it will go. In other words will I need to buy a newer laptop to get the Pages 09 to work and ouput to an eBook? Thanks. Richard -
i cant seem to find one anywhere on the sight, can you please give me an URL for the ibook car charger...Please?
I have a charger from iGo (http://www.igo.com) called the juice70 that plugs into a wall, or an airplane, or a car. It works my 14" iBookG4 quite nicely, but won't quite keep up with the power needs of my 17" PowerBook. To charge it in the truck, I have a charger from Kensington. (http://us.kensington.com/html/6612.html)
I also have an inverter in each of my trucks. I use one of them to run an Airport Extreme and an Epson C86 printer. I find it a bit less efficient to invert 12v DC into 120vAC in order to convert it back to 12vDC. If you need an inverter, by all means get one, but if you need a 12v power supply, get one of those!

I have a G5 and iBook with PowerPC/iTunes 10....just recently I can't bring up the preset Internet radio on either one. Is this a glitch, or have they been permanently disabled for older versions of iTunes?
I should have posted this for you a while ago. My apologies for not doing it sooner. This was passed on to me by another user R C-R
He deserves the credit for this workaround. This is his post from an area in the forum where you have to be level 6 or higher in which to participate.
I am getting the same (global) error using iTunes 10.3.1 on a 2008 MacBook running 10.6.8.
A really, really awkward workaround that works for me (for now) is if you have the URL of the Internet radio server you can go to Advanced > Open Stream... (in iTunes 10.x) or type command + U, enter it there & click OK. The station should play fine in 10.x.
You can get the URL from any version of iTunes that still supports the "radio tuning service" (which I gather is an Apple server thing Apple is no longer supporting for 10.x). Play the station normally from the newer version & type command + I to open the info window. At the bottom of the "Summary" tab you will see the URL. (Annoyingly, you can't copy the text so you will have to write it down.)
Once you have that, you can play the station in 10.x & add it to a playlist for future use.
To check this out, maybe try http://198.27.80.37/stream/mbarsott.pls -- it is a European Jazz station that works fine for me with iTunes 10.3.1.
This workaround does work, but is a bit cumbersome. I'm still holding out hope that it is just a glitch.
