Choosing language for the OS using CD provided with tangerine ibook

Hello,
I have a french tangerine ibook running in french (macos 8.6) and I would like to know if it is possible to reinstall it in english using the CDs provided with the ibook.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Anthony.

Thank you for your answer (although I was hoping for another one).
I just called the apple store and apple tech support and they both told me that neither mac os 8.6 nor 9.x were sold, and that it was not available for download.
So I have to buy a used english copy of mac os 8.6 or 9.x for my old ibook.
Fortunately, I have an adress in the US where I can have it shipped. So I looked on Ebay to find the CDs, and I can only find macos 8.6 for iMAC, not ibook. The name of the CDs are : "iMac Software Install SSW version 8.6" and "iMac Software Restore SSW version 8.6". Of course the restore CD would be of no use for me, but is the install CD a standard mac os 8.6 that includes all the drivers for my ibook ?
Do I have to specifically look for ibook CDs ?
I'm also considering installing a linux (like yellow dog linux), although I'd rather give the ibook with macos on it as the person I'll give it to is not very "computer litterate"... Could you advise me a light distribution of linux, as user friendly as possible ?
Anthony.

  • When using Exprt PDF, the choice of language for the document to be exported is sometimes very restricted, while sometimes many more languages are available. What's the matter?

    Dear Mrs.,
    I now add 2 print screens which show what I get when I try to export a PDF from Adobe Reader and which languages are available.
    The same problem does not exist when I use the website.
    I hope this gives you a clue.
    Many thanks,

    You will need to sign up for your own Apple ID and then buy and download Lion by calling Apple and getting a redemption code.
    Good Luck

  • How do I change the default language for the spell checker? - solved, sort of...

    As the previous thread was closed without actual resolution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941350?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
    I managed to solve this on my end by just reinstalling firefox using the localisation of the default dictionary language i wanted from here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    A bit of a shame that the main download page doesnt select the geographically relevant localisation for you and even more so that changing the default language for the in built spell checker is so kak. oh well.

    Right-click a web form on any web page.

    language.
    Thanks in Advance.

    A Smartform can be maintained in many languages other than the language that it is created. Translations for the texts have to be maintained for this purpose.
    To maintain the translations:
    Go to transaction SE63 in R/3.
    Go to menu Translation->R/3 Enterprise->Other Long Texts
    Select the object type in the pop up. Smartform(SSF) object type is found under Forms and Styles(FS).
    Enter the name of the Smart form and choose the source and target language. This would open a screen with the Smartform code in Source language on the top and an editor with the same code in the bottom.
    Find the text for which you need to maintain the translation and insert the translation in that place. As usual after required texts are maintained Save and Activate.
    To see the translated Smartform create an output type and assign the smartform and the driver program to this output type. In the transaction that sends output to this smartform, select the output type and select the language in which the smartform has to be displayed (translations have to be maintained in this lanuage).This will give the smartform in the required language.

  • Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

    Hi,
      I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder.  "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
    The files we're shot with HD cameras.  Edited in Premiere Pro CS3.  I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
    I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash.  I tried this twice....
        Thanks in Advance

    Hi Hunt,
           Here is the skinny.  A window base PC.  footage shot with HD sony HD cameras,  Project imported to Premiere CS3.  Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality.  Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3.  After about ten files or so.  I got the error message.  Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch.  Even build a new test project with the same problem.
        Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded.  So it will be a double compression and I dont want that.  So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
       what do you think ????

  • For the iPad, using OS  7.02, how do you now close an application?

    For the iPad, using OS  7.02, how do you now close an application?  When I double click, go to the task bar and touch on the icon, it no longer gives me the option to close the application.  Do you no longer need to quite an application?

    Double tap the home button and swipe upwards on the preview of the App (not the App Icon)

  • Warning: "No terminating events defined for the task used"

    Dear all,
    I created a task with ABAP class and method as its object method. This task is a background task. The ABAP class inherits the IF_WORKFLOW interface but doesn't implement any method of the interface.
    When I try to confirm the task settings in transaction SWDD, a message shows up "No terminating events defined for the task used" and I cannot continue the work. Does anybody have any idea what I should do?
    Thanks + Best Regards
    Jerome

    Hi Jerome,
    If you set a background task in your workflow, and if it is asynchronous, then you need some way to tell the template if it is finished and what happened.  In this case you set terminating events - that is events which are published in the system as a result of your method (ie document.posted etc).
    Either use a synchronous method for your task or set appropriate terminating events in your task setup.
    Regards
    Gareth

  • How can I change the language for the Quiz Results page?

    How can I change the language for the Quiz Results (labels on buttons and text labels)? Is this possible only manually each time, or are general settings possible?

    For Quiz Slides you've already added to your project file you will need to change the labels manually.  If you change your Quiz Settings and Master Slides that control the defaults and then add new Quiz Slides, THEN those slides will carry your new settings.

  • Why has the language for the texts on my iphone changed to French?

    iphone has gone mad. The language for the texts has switched to french. The keyboard is the french layout, despite under settings>general>international>language being set to english and keyboard under ...settings>general>international>keyboard>english (UK)>being QWERTY.....which it isn't. It means the auto correct is a nightmare. Any help gratefully received.

    To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
    First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
    If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

    I haven't found one yet - it should appear on this page : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/

  • Lightroom 3 does not offer a choice of language for the trial download

    I have downloaded the trail version Lightroom 3. Although my computer is in French, I wanted to download the English version of the software. All the tutorials and the literature are in English.
    I tried three times but every time, it did not offer me a choice of language for the trial version and downloaded the French version everytime.
    Can anyone help solve this problem for me?

    I just checked Adobe's trial download and I was offered many different languages for the trial download.
    The language choice is on the webpage before you click on <Download>.
