Does any one know if the Mac OSX discs are machine/model specific?

Hi Folks,
I am a first time mac owner, having just bought myself a 2nd hand iBook G4 (power PC 1.33ghz 1.5g Ram) and I'm looking for the mac OS disc that would be compatible, after looking into the various options I'm a bit confused to say the least!
ATM I'm running 10.5 and was wanting to get the install/restore discs just incase I do something wrong to the computer and manage to break it (as seems to be my luck lol)
some of the software i have seen the discs are labeled 'all macs' and there are some labeled for specific machines.
any pointers you could give would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
James

Your iBook G4 was first released with OS X 10.3 and later 10.4. If you have 10.5x installed you will need the Full Retail Version of Leopard.

This is the Microsoft forum site that parallels what Apple has:

It's not uncommon for MS employees who work with the Mac side of the business to help there. All in all a useful resource for Office:Mac

Does any one know of a MAC compatible biometric clocking in system?

Does any one know of a MAC compatible biometric clocking in system? Thanx

There is this:
http://www.icontime.com/products/hardware/universal/Mac_Compatibe_Employee_Time_ Clock.asp
but I don't read that as being biometric. They also produce biometric time clocks (see the link of their page), but no mention of Macs.
No idea whether this:

Either it ended up in a spam filter or it isn't being sent to that address. If you can't find it, use the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article to contact the iTunes Store staff.

Spring 2007 is all anybody knows, because that's what it says at the bottom of that page, and that's all Apple has said.

Does any one know if the 15% refund rumor is true?

I have had my 27" iMac for about 2 months. of that time it has only been working for 2 weeks. After installing the 2nd display firmware update the machine died would not come back on from sleep and some times would not turn on at all.
It has been and had the logic board, led back-light driver board replaced and now is getting something else replaced. Apple refuse to replace the machine.
What I want to know is if any one can confirm the rumors that apple is giving up to 15% refund to people with issues with the 27" iMac.
I'm not angry it has issues that happens with new hardware. its the fact that i have been mucked around, been told by the service agent to install the OS myself after being told to bring it in for repair, having to take several hrs of work and drive several Kms to take it in for repair.
please can you let me know. i am supposed to be getting the machine back tomorrow and i would like to be able to talk to my retailer about it when i call them.
thanks Alex

There are no Kiwi brick & mortar Apple Stores, so he must have a 3rd party retailer.
So I would report to Apple, Inc that the local Apple Authorized Techs have returned your repaired iMac without a Mac OS X installation!
Gizmodo appears to be the source of the story and they report this update;
UPDATE: According to an Apple customer support discussion with one of our readers, the 15% bonus refund is officially for "tax and shipping"—it's a flat base rate to cover your return no matter the area you are in. So if you have an 8% sales tax, you may only be pocketing 7% (and even less after shipping if you don't have an Apple Store near). Obviously this offer ranges from small bonus to adequate refund, depending on your circumstance, but returning an iMac is far from a money making venture.

Does any one know about the small Hardrive that "The Power Company" is producing, sponsored by Indiegogo, for small Apple mobile devices (iPhones, iPods, etc,). Do they work or cause problems for the device or iCloud storage?

Does any one about the small hard drive that "the Power Company" is bringing out as a crowdsourced project by Indiegogo? Does it work, does it cause problems for IOS, iPOD Touch or iCloud?

I have not heard that mentioned here before. What does the Indiegogo page say?

Does any one know what the matrix.dms is? And why it is in my picture folder? When I open this file the unarchiver takes over and I see my entire hard drive when I scroll down I see the matrix.dms file with in the unarchiver.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know that the matrix.dms file is? And why it may have came to be in my picture folder? When I opened the file the unarchiver took over, then I saw my files in the unarchiver window. I then scrolled down and I saw the same matrix.dms file within the unarchiver window. I made a video of what saw when I tried to open the file, so as to aide in your understanding of reason for my perplexion at this file. Thank you for your help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QeWH9hRnro&feature=youtu.be

Hi EMT-B,
It sounds like you have done all the troubleshooting needed to narrow down your issue with the iPhone camera to hardware. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Does any one know who the "youngest" podcaster is?

I have a new podcast, the stewcast, it's my son and I. he is 4 and a half and we laid claim to the title of the youngest podcaster on our last podcast. I was wondering if there was any way we could find out for sure? I know it's a long shot that anyone would know for sure but i thought i would ask. does anyone know of someone younger that 4 years old with his own podcast?

Does any one know when the ipad 3 is coming out

i want to know what is new about it

We're just users here and none of us would know. If history repeats itself, the next generation iPad will be announced in the March time frame with release in April/May. Until then, no one here would know and if they did, they would be prohibited from discussing it.

HT204387 Does any one know if the bluetooth MAP (Message Access Profile) is supported in IOS6 for the Iphone 3GS ?

I have heard that this is now supported and that this will allow me to push the notifications to my BMW and to send SMS through BMW ConnectedDrive.

Allan,
Here is the link:

As stated below support for Bluetooth MAP in 4S and 5 is not the discussion. Is that the page seems outdated.
The issue is whether ios6 supports this feature in the 3 GS.
