Does this computer have built-in camera?

Hi there,
I have brought home my son's lovely laptop computer. He is developmentally disabled and needs some upgrading and file organizing done to the machine. I didn't think too much of it but a question came up when I started running Software Update. Two software items -- Airport and iSight -- are listed for updating.
But I don't know this computer's capabilities or lack of them for Airport and iSight.
This is a G4 iBook with a 14 inch screen he purchased in March of 2005. I checked "About this Mac," and it does have an Airport Extreme card installed. I did click on the Airport update.
I know some newer laptops have a built-in camera, but I don't know if this model in new enough to have that. I do not see anything in "About this Mac" to indicate that it does My guess is that it does not, but I don't know how to tell!
Does anyone know if it has a built-in camera? If not, then I don't need to bother with the iSight upgrade, right?
Thanks,
Linda

Hi Linda,
No, the iBook G4 does NOT have a built-in iSight camera.
You might be able to find an external iSight camera on eBay or other Internet source. Then you might need the iSight update software.

Does this computer have gps (my daughter's was just stolen), is there a way to remotely disable it?

does this computer have gps (my daughter's was just stolen), is there a way to remotely disable it?

First off, I'm sorry to hear about the theft of your daughter's computer. The good news is that all Apple computers have their serial number in multiple places (depending on the model) and Apple maintains a list of every one of them. Do you have the serial number? If not, you can get it from the retailer you purchased it from.
As far as GPS and disabling it, it is going to depend on several factors but the short answer is probably not. I mean, Yes, there is a a way to detect location in most modern Mac's through a web browser using Geolocation (W3C API) but there is no onboard GPS; disabling the machine remotely would require you to have 'Back to my Mac' already set up on it from iCloud. There might also be some third party tools available that I'm not aware of.
Again, I'm really sorry to hear about the stolen computer. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if you have any other questions.
BTW, what model and year is the computer that was stolen?

HT4759 I have an iMac, iMac, 10,1 10.8. I would like to have iCloud downloaded to my computer. Does my computer have the system requirement necessary. I use iCal on my Apple Notebook and Iphone 4S. Thank you!

I have an iMac, iMac, 10,1 10.8. I would like to have iCloud downloaded to my computer. Does my computer have the system requirement necessary. I use iCal on my Apple Notebook and Iphone 4S and want it to my Mac Desktop to sinc with all my Apple Products. Thank you!

The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

I bought a Power Mac in March, 2008. Does this machine have WiFi capability? If it does how can I initiate WiFi?

I bought a Power Mac (Mac Pro?) in March, 2008. Does this machine have Wi Fi capability? If it does how can I initiate Wi Fi?

Look on the MenuBar. A Mac with no Wi-FI will shows a distinctive completely grayed-out Wi-Fi Icon (not just a black outline.)
Or look in About this Mac > ( More Info ) > Report > system report > Network > Wi-Fi
Installed Hardware always shows the many channels available. If none are listed, you likely do not have the correct adapter installed.
These adapters are available on the Used market and Amazon. Installation is fussy because everything is so small, and there are several antenna wires to attach correctly.
There are two models, and most sellers know which Macs they apply to. Installing the wrong one sometimes means you cannot do a software Upgrade.

Does Aperture 3 have built in PhotoShare/iCloud capabilities or do I need a newer version of iPhoto as well? I'm running iPhoto '09 and am to scared to switch to the newer version of iPhoto..?

Does Aperture 3 have built in PhotoShare/iCloud capabilities or do I need a newer version of iPhoto as well? I'm running iPhoto '09 and am to scared to switch to the newer version of iPhoto..?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Both Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11 are compatible with Photo Stream. However, note that the most recent iPhoto '11 and Aperture 3 versions use the same library, so your library will be upgraded, and it doesn't mind if you install iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3. That's why I recommend you to make a backup of your iPhoto library before installing Aperture or upgrading iPhoto

Why does this logo have jagged edges?

I'm working on a new logo and before I get too far along I need to resolve this issue; why does this shape have jagged edges when posted on the web?
you can see it on-line auctionontario.ca
Thx

auctioneer,
Obviously, you are using the transparency available for the GIF format.
In addition, you should tick the Anti-Aliasing which is, unfortunately, hidden away like a hidden feature in the Image Size window within Save for Web.

Hiding dialogs behind an abstraction. Does this pattern have a name?

Here's the deal. I've got user input coming from a bunch of different sources, a dozen dialogs, console etc. The standard way to get something from a dialog is buy reading it's attribute after it's closed.
e.g.
dialogInstance.setModal(true);
dialogInstance.setVisible(true);
String s = dialogInstance.getUserInput();Now, I find this very ugly as it ties you tightly to the implementation of the class that accepts the input (a dialog in this case). In order to loosen the coupling, I came up with the following pattern. Components that are used to accept input (dialogs) are required to bind that input to a previously specified variable in the "global context" that is also available to the main program (that instantiated the dialog in the first place). So, it looks like this:
initInputGatheringComponent(); //this is also abstracted but details are not relevant at the moment, see below if you care for more info
UserInput input = Context.get("variableName")
...And the dialog does this:
//OK button is pressed
Context.set("variableName", UserInput) //UserInput comes from reading a text field value or something like that. This way, the main program has no idea how the variable got it's value, be it from a dialog, console or whatever. And if I change the way I get data, I don't have to change the main program, as long as the same variable is populated.
Now, what I want to know is if this pattern has a name and what it might be? I'm sure I haven't invented anything new, but I want to know what have I reinvented...
Also, I'm interested in the opinions on my approach... Hopefully, the topic is at least a bit interesting to discuss.

Implementation details, for those who care
Every class that is used for accepting input is associated with a name (through an XML config file, I'll see if I know how to change this to annotations), and the method that starts it is annotated with @Run. When requested by the main program, using the name of the component, like this:
Context.start("componentName")the class associated with this name is instantiated by reflection, and it's @Run method is executed. So, for the dialog example, it looks like this:
XML:
<component name="loginDialog" class="javax.swing.JDialog">Code:
@Run
public void display() {
    init();
    setModal(true);
    setVisible(true);
public void btnOKMouseClick(...) {
    Context.set("userName", txtUserName.getText()); //reads the value of the text field and binds it to a context variable named "userName"
    Context.set("password", txtPassword.getPassword()); //same with password field
}and the main program would look something like this:
//the user needs to login
Context.start("loginDialog"); //finds out the class of the component named "loginDialog" (JDialog in this case) from the XML config, instantiates it through reflection,
//and runs it's annotated method (display() in this case)
String userName = Context.get("userName"); //gets the value of "userName" from the context, without being aware how it got there
String pass = Context.get("password"); //same here with "password"

What does "This computer is not authorized" mean?

There are about 200 songs I am trying to transfer to my other computer's library through home sharing that will not work because my new laptop is "not authorized." What exactly does this mean?

Try authorizing the new laptop to the Account that the 200 songs were purchased from. For some more info about the process, see the following document:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

Does OS 9 have built in support for external Iomega Zip drives?

Hi,
Does OS 9.x have built-in support for external SCSI Iomega Zip drives?

Yeah, you are correct, but Iomega's drivers & APPs were one really destabilizing factor for OS9, as well as ruining a few ZIP Disks with that Death Head crash, and being a nuisance. Intech's drivers gave twice the R&W speed, never failed, never crashed, could Format & Partition them... also worked for MOs, JAZZ, SyJets, other Syquests from 44MB to 550MB, and any other drive regardless of IDE, SCSI, FW, USB.
