Compatible with new MAC OS Leopard?

Dear experts,
I bought my PowerBook G4 in the summer of 2005, so it does not have the intel processor and from my understanding it was the last of its model. So, will I still be able to install the new MAC OS 11 Leopard when it is released? If so will I be missing out on any features?
While I know from my limited understanding it might be impossible, but what type of upgrades or modifications should/can I consider on my PowerBook to prepare it for the new OS and to expand its life span 2-3 more years?
Thank you!
Tomes

Sorry,
Sure here's some specs

I notice quite a bit of slow down when I'm running say, a PDF, Safari, Mail, MSN Messenger, and I use iTunes and iPhoto alot. I am not a huge multimedia person in terms of designing or building, but I read and watch lots of it for school and work while trying to get other work done... i.e. watch a news report while summarizing on word and then sending it in e-mail.
Hope this helps with diagnosis. Thanks!

  • HT1338 I cant get my iphone 5 to be compatible with my mac book pro. I've been trying to update my itunes but it wont let me because it tells me i dont have the right software is there anything that I can do so I can sync my phone to computer?

    I cant get my iphone 5 to be compatible with my mac book pro. When I plug the iphone 5 in it tells me that i need a newer version of itunes 10.7 and I currently have 10.6. I checked for updates in my itunes and it says i dont have any. So i have gone to the itunes website to try and redownload itunes which i believe it 11.7. When I try and download that version it tells me the software on my computer doesn't suppor that version. I try to update my software and it says there is not software updates available right now.  Is there anyway I can get my iphone 5 to synce to my itunes?

    In order to get those to work you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard, preferably the full 10.6.8 combo updater.

  • JABRA A320S bluetooth dongle compatible with my mac book??

    I bought a jabra a320s to pair my mac book with a sony mini stereo. i want to play my music through it.
    i had to get the jabra dongle since the mac's bluetooth didn't support a2dp. i haven't opened the box yet for the jabra device. will this work with a mac? on the box it only says compatible with various windows, etc.
    anyone know if this will be fine for what i need? thanks in advance.

    The Mac Book is from 2005..When I tried looking up the Bluetooth specifications it didn't list A2DP as a feature.
    It doesn't list A2DP as a feature on the very latest MacBooks either - even though those are the ones that come with Leopard which does have A2DP support. A2DP is a feature of the Macs Bluetooth system software, not the Bluetooth hardware. That's why older Macs updated to Leopard have gained A2DP support, with no new Bluetooth hardware required.
    So if the bluetooth on this computer doesn't have A2DP then there's no way for me to use a bluetooth dongle instead?
    No. But it wouldn't matter if you could use the Bluetooth dongle. You would still need the updated Bluetooth software on the computer for A2DP support - which is part of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    I find that hard to swallow.
    Well, try it for yourself if you don't believe me.
    I should just be able to disable the internal bluetooth and use the dongle, right?
    Well... Yes, if there was actually a way to disable just the internal Bluetooth - but there isn't. If you were to turn Bluetooth off in the system preferences, it would turn all Bluetooth off, including the dongle.
    But lastly, does anyone know if the Jabra dongle would be compatible with the Mac Book if I actually busted open the box?
    You're not reading what I've written are you? As the MacBook *already has* internal bluetooth hardware, you cannot use an external bluetooth dongle with it. The internal bluetooth always takes priority over the external, and you cannot turn off just the internal Bluetooth.

  • HT1199 My mac has OSX version 10.8.2 and I'm try to install an aiport express base station which requires 10.5.7 or later. Yet when I try to install the software it says the base station is not compatible with my mac version - how do I resolve?

    You already have the software installed that you need if you have 10.8.2.
    If AirPort Utility cannot find the Express, that is another matter. More software is not needed. More troublehooting is needed.
    Power up the Express for a full minute
    Hold in the reset button on the Express for 7-8 seconds and release
    Allow a full minute for the Express to restart
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Look for a heading of New AirPort Base Station
    Just below that, click on AirPort Express
    What happens?

  • Is there a creative suite CS6 version compatible with a Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    I downlaoded CS6 on my computer only to find out CS6 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.8, it says it must be 10.6.0, but I don't want to get a whole new computer, is there a CS6 version compatible with a Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    It really will depend on which Adobe product or suite you are trying to install.  In general though most of our Creative Suite 6 products require 10.6.8.  Which Adobe product did you purchase?  Besides your operating system is there other system requirements which you also are not currently able to fulfill?

  • IMovie plug ins not compatible with Intel Macs

    I need a page turn transition for an iMovie 6 project I'm working on. I downloaded one from cfx, but apparently a lot of the plug ins are not compatible with Intel Macs. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

    Any GeeThree plug-in that uses flash will no longer work, which include all the WildFX plug-ins. Apple did away with flash support in Quicktime 7.3.1 or newer! Now iMovie is basically unusable without the very cool & professional GeeThree plug-ins. If Apple keeps this up iMovie will probably go the way of the dinosaur. I've talked to Apple about this and they responded "why don't you buy Finalcut Pro". It's what Apple does best, Farm the base.....

  • BT voyager 205 compatible with intel macs?

    Anyone in UK know if BT voyager 205 is compatible with intel macs?
    Ive just found out my old speedtouch USB330 isnt yet intel mac compatible and need to buy a cheap new one.
    Thanks

    Steve,
    Don't worry about it... and a warm welcome to Apple Discussions
    Unfortunately, there isn't a way, currently, to remove posts although you do have a 15 minute window to make any modifications.
    I suspect the 205 that you received and did not work was either faulty or was not set up properly.
    Your recommendation of the 210 is a good one and if they are priced similarly then, as I said, the 210 would be a better investment.

  • Which version of photoshop is compatible with my Mac OS X v.10.6.8? Should I use Photoshop CS4 Extended or CS5 Extended?

    Which version of photoshop is compatible with my Mac OS X v.10.6.8? Should I use Photoshop CS4 Extended or CS5 Extended?

    CS5 works fully on my Macbook Pro, but it all depends on your specs. If you have a newer MBP on SL, you should be fine. Photoshop isn't terribly demanding on the computer so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Whichever one you can get is fine.
