Few questions about my new laptop

I just bought a powerbook g4 12" 1.5ghz with an 80g hd.
i just found out that i cannot upgrade to snow leopard due to the intel processor. am i really missing out? and how can i get leopard?
also, i need to upgrade my ram. where can i get a trusted upgrade? i am looking at things online, but i am scared of getting scammed. but i have ugraded my other pc's ram and the card i bought cheaply online worked fine. any tips for this would be great!
thanks guys

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
You may still be able to get Leopard from Apple by calling 800-MY-APPLE, which is the Apple online ordering store. You can't buy it locally anymore. If they are out, then you'd need to look online, with one source being hardcoremac.com or ebay. If you go ebay, ensure you're getting black-faced retail disks and not gray-faced disks, which are locked to the system types they originally shipped with.
On ram, our Powerbooks are sensitive to the ram used, due to the memory bus architecture. If you stick with Crucial, Kingston (not their value-ram line though), or Samsung, you'll be OK.

  • Few questions about my new Lumia 920

    Hi.
    First of I'm loving the new phone.  I bought it outright and I'm currently using my rolling contact in it.  I'm on EE in the UK.
    I too have had a few hard restarts but I find it's when I'm installing an app.  Fingers crossed a software update will sort out this problem.
    Anyway a couple of quick questions.  Is there a way I can turn of the Facebook pictures appearing in my photo's ?  Also is there a way of turning of the notification bar at the top of the phone when a text message comes in ?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Mythril.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Facebook albums can only be removed from the gallery if you remove the facebook account from the phone. You can use the facebook app instead but facebook will no longer be linked to your contacts in the people hub.
    There is no way to stop the message pop up yet, Microsoft has yet to add an option to stop it.

  • Few questions about my new mac book? im new to mac

    #1.  Im new to mac so i dont know a whole lot about them but today while browsing the web i got a window that opened that said "browse your mac with Mackeeper to clean it and make sure its safe and to optimize your performance"  I didnt click on anything but it wouldnt let me exit out i had to force quit my Safari to get it to go away.  What is this?
    #2.  What do i need to do to keep my mac from getting slow and getting viruses? the most i really do on it is typing work, checking email, watching you tube, social networking on facebook, and browsing forums (forums like this where i can ask questions or share my experiences on certain things)  if im not doing any of that im on websites like bestbuy or Cabelas or Bass pro shops doing online shopping.  Every so often i have to do online research but not often.  do i have much to worry about?
    #3.  Im on my computer everyday what is better for it? Leaving it turned on 24/7 since i mainly use it at home plugged into the wall turning it on in the morning or whenever i get on and shutting it down before bed? or turning it on and off throughout the day as i get on and off?
    #4.  When the computer is plugged in the battery says it only has a 96% charge.. its brandnew shouldnt it be at 100%? even though so far i havent really used the battery?

    1. The popup you received should be ignored, you were wise to ignore it. It is well publicized in other forums. I'd recommend looking over:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3029144?tstart=0 for a more thorough explanation.
    2. There are zero, none, nada, zip Virus's for Macs so the best thing you can do is simply enjoy it. There is no maintenance that is necessary either, everything you were used to doing with a PC is now in your past! OS X is designed to do daily, weekly and monthly maintenance on it's own in the background usually in the middle of the night. Nothing other than that needs to be done. You can download and install Maintidget at:
    http://www.giantmike.com/widgets/Maintidget.html this will show you when these scripts were last run.
    3. As for what is best for your computer I'd recommend reading the owners manual that came with it. Because you have a portable it has a battery that needs to be maintained. Please read the following articles on the care of your battery, it needs to be exercised. Leaving it plugged in 24/7 shortens it's life so please read the articles especially the article on calibration.
    Batteries , Battery Calibration , Battery Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
    4. Also because you are new to Mac's I'd recommend bookmarking and reading the following sites, they're specifically for folks like yourself that are considering or have changed from MS Windows.
    Switch 101 , Mac 101, Find Out How Video tutorials

  • A few questions about my new A720

    Hi everyone,
    I just got myself an IdeaCentre A720 (VDT8UGE) because I love the idea of a touchscreen combined with a 27" screen and the special hinge.
    For the most part it works fine and it simplified my home setup a lot (much less cables now). However it also introduces some new problems. I was wondering if anyone here has some suggestions to any of the following issues:
    - The screen coloring is very yellow-greenish and there is no way of adjusting it from the screen itself. I used the nVidia control panel to correct this and it looks OK now but the coloring on the HDMI output is a bit off due to this.
    - The HDMI IN is a great idea in my opinion. I plugged in my old machine (a pure gaming machine with a GTX) and it works fine. But is there a way to listen to the audio from HDMI IN? I set the source PC's audio to HDMI Out but it didn't help. Windows doesn't show me any audio source either. For now, I have connected a 3.5mm audio cable but I'm sure there's a more elegant solution to this.
    - The system sometimes boots but the screen doesn't turn on. I haven't found any way to reproduce this, it just happens randomly. I suspected it might have something to do with HDMI Out (because I have it connected at all times) but I was unable to find any setting regarding this. I also tried to boot into UEFI to look for such a setting but I couldn't figure out how to do that.
    - There's some weird noise coming from the built in Bluray drive when I insert a CD and it also makes some noise whenever I switch the system on. It almost sounds as if there's a disc in there but it isn't. Is this normal behavior? I'm asking because this is the first time that I have a PC with this kind of trayless optical drive.
    - According to the spec sheet the camera can shoot at 720p. Is this some sort of joke? I don't want to flame here, but the camera quality is ludicrously bad. Seriously, it's not even 240p. Am I doing something wrong here? Is it just some bug in the Windows 8 camera app?
    I hope someone can help on at least any one of these things.

    Seems like nobody else has any of these issues but nonetheless, I'd like to keep this thread up to date if you don't mind. Hopefully this will be useful to someone in the future.
    Camera
    So today I called Lenovo Support (really friendly and helpful by the way!) and as for the camera, I was asked to try some other software like Skype instead of Windows 8's Camera App.
    So I used VLC to show me the camera video. And guess what - it's 720p! Quality still isn't great but it's MILES ahead from what I've seen in the aforementioned Camera app. So that's one problem "found" at least. I still need to verify if Skype is affected. Perhaps this problem only affects Modern UI apps and not desktop apps.
    Blank screen
    The second thing I asked about was the blank screen. Unfortunately this is apparently not any known issue so the support couldn't help much but only suggest to try a factory reset. I'll hold off on that though because I spent the last three days to set everything up. I'll try to remember to remove the HDMI cable prior to switching the device on from now on and see if that helps (yes, I changed my mind - I think it's HDMI related again).
    Coloring
    The third and last thing I asked was about the display coloring. There's no way of "saving" the coloring mode but they are aware of this and there MIGHT someday be a patch. I wouldn't count on it though and I think there's a higher chance of my eyes simply adopting to the weird coloring at some point.
    While it's surely unfortunate that some of these problems seem unsolvable, I'm still glad that there's only minor issues left now. Also the phone support was quite good and I feel confident that they'll help me if I ever have some other problem in the future.
    I'd be glad if Lenovo takes all these things to heart and improves them on the next model. In my humble opinion, this is pretty much the best touchscreen AIO on the market. Oh and while you're at it, please put a USB 3.0 port to the left hand side of the display for the next model, the one on the base is barely usable if HDMI cables are plugged in.

  • Few questions about my new MA

    Just got my MA, and love it so far but a few things have me a bit lost.  Firstly, I was trying to install Google Chrome but it won't install, it just appears as a disk on my desktop when I download it.  I can run it, but I would rather not have a bunch of icons for programs sitting on my desktop.
    Also, moving from a MB Pro to this has been a change.  On my MB I could see my HD right on the desktop, but with my MA I can't.  Is there a way to put that onto my desktop?

    Double click the disk icon. Then press Command + N to open a new Finder window. Select the Applications folder from the sidebar. Then drag Chrome's icon from within the disk image to the Applications folder. You can then eject the disk by dragging its desktop icon to the trash (it will turn into an eject symbol), and Chrome will remain in your Applications folder.
    To see the HD, go to Finder > Preferences, for "Show these items on the desktop," make sure Hard disks is selected.

  • Few questions about recovery on P100-400

    Good evening all,
    I have a few questions about recovering my laptop...
    So, I was thinking if the only way to clean my entire disk is to use the Recovery DVD?
    I ask this because I think that the computer becomes too "heavy" with all the applications it came with. So I was wondering if I can format the Hard Drive instead of recover it.
    If I format the drive do I loose warranty? Is there any future problem related to genuine software?
    It's possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the actual windows xp media center) with the original Operative system's product key?
    Thank you.
    Best Regards.

    Hello
    I will try to give you few answers and I hope it will help you.

    I do not understand what you mean with I can format the Hard Drive instead of recover it but you can do follow: install OS using delivered recovery media and after doing this remove all applications you do not need. After doing this maybe your notebook will not be heavy anymore.
    > If I format the drive do I loose warranty?
    NO.
    > Is there any future problem related to genuine software?
    I do not know what you mean exactly
    > It's possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the actual windows xp media center) with the original Operative system's product key?
    No. Something like this is not possible. Product key belongs to delivered and preinstalled OS.

  • Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

    Hi
    A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
    I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
    Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
    Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
    Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
    (I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
    So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
    While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
    My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT:
    If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
    I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks!
    OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
    Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
    Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

  • Few questions about iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
    I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
    1) How long should a healthy battery last?
    2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
    On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
    BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
    Thanks

    I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
    Would you like to clarify? Concisely.

  • Few questions about Lenovo G550

    Hello, I plan to buy an inexpensive laptop, propably it will be a Lenovo G550L but I got few questions about this model. Here are my questions:
    1. What 320GB hard disks are mounted inside G550L, Western Digital, Seagate or Hitachi (exact model if possible)?
    2. How are the hinges of LCD screen in this model, cause they look pretty weak. Do they break easy, does anyone got any experience with this type of hinges which are "forward type" instead of normal?
    2. I have noticed that there are two types of laptop chassis in this model one is matte black and another is grey glare. How to determine which model has which finish? Which finish got laptops with T4300, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Intel IGP x4500, no card reader, no hdmi.
    Thanks in advance.

    my friend samsung any net, toshiba regza link, panasonic viera link is their special TM to support CEC
    but just for their product not  other products,for instance a samsung dvd player and a samsung lcd can sync easily with with hdmi cable
    and in this case you dont need an extra remote control to control dvd besides tv.just with having a remote you can control both of them or the other audio visual products from that campany
    please think???? how could you control your lenovo when it does not have a remote?
    every device need to send signals to the remote not by just some wires like HDMI
    lcd has  a  remote and a dvd player also has a remote and if those are from a unit company,they share a common signal with HDMI cable ,then you could control both of them with just one remote.
    this can ease your work,as you dont need a lot of remote around your devices
    but they should be from just a unit producer cause they uses different protocols
    and of course they want to sell their various products and oblige you to buy other products from that producer to have the compability for having just one remote.

  • Few questions about syncing

    Hi,
    I have a few questions about syncing. Since this is my first iphone and apple product, I'm not familliar with it. My mother bought the tomtom app for navigation. And she said that it has 3 uses (for 3 different devices). Now the app is in her library on her computer. So if i try to sync with her library, it will erase all my previous apps. How come? Also I'm planning to use a laptop in college so I'll have to sync it with that.
    What should I do to keep my apps?

    All 3rd party apps - paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the app. This is required by 3rd party app developers to prevent people from stealing from them with paid apps. If not for this, you could pay for and download the TomTom app which is not cheap and all your friends and family members with an iPhone could install the app on their iPhone without paying for it, which in effect is stealing.
    There is no device limit for the number of iPods and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer, but in regards to all iTunes content - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.

  • Few questions about Calendar / SimpleDateFormat classes

    Hi.
    I have few questions about Calendar class:
    1. How can I get only date representation (without the time)?
    after doing:
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    I tried to clear unecessary fields:
    cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
    cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
    cal.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    But after printing the time, it seems that the HOUR was not cleared:
    SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
    System.out.println(sdf1.format(cal.getTime()));
    ---> 03/11/2004 17:00:00
    Am I missing somthing?
    2. I want to make sure that two different formats couldn't be compared. i.e., if I'll try to parse one String according to different format -- ParseException will be thrown.
    String date = "19/04/2004 13:06:10";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    Date dateObj = sdf.parse(date);
    However, even though that formats are different, no exception is thrown and the return Date is 19/04/2004 00:00:00.
    How can I cause to exception to be thrown if formats are not identical?
    Thanks in advanced

    The Calendar class has a few of what Microsoft would call 'features'. :^)
    To clear the time, call:
    calendar.set(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), calendar.get(Calendar.DAY), 0, 0, 0);
    If you want 'pessimistic' rather than 'optimistic' date parsing, you have two options:
    1) Call calendar.setLenient(false);
    See if that is strict enough for your needs, otherwise:
    2) Write code to ensure a stricter parsing of the string passed in. For example, you could very simply check the length of the string to determine if time data is also present.
    When parsing, a string like '02/29/02' would parse to the date '03/01/02'. Setting lenient to false may fix this, but the surest way is to do some testing and then make the parsing more pessimistic where it suits your needs.

  • Few questions about cs6

    Hi
    i have few questions about cs6
    is there a way to let the ruler and straighten like cs5 ? i gave a look to my friend cs6 and cs6 ruler and straighten leave transparent image around the corner

    mantralightroom wrote:
    nope
    The feature is there, where Christoph described it, though I would have liked it if they'd left an option for the Ruler Tool button to allow people to add "and crop" as well.  But Adobe have confirmed they moved it out of there on purpose, presumably because new users would expect to crop their image using the Crop Tool, not the Ruler Tool.
    mantralightroom wrote:
    i would like to know if i can store the size of each dialog window
    You MUST be talking about the Properties panel, where adjustment layer info is shown, because the dialogs you get when you do things like Image - Adjust - Levels or Image - Adjust - Curves is not resizeable in any way I can see.  At least not on a PC.
    No, there's no special option that allows dialog sizes to be saved separately.  It's just one panel, and the size of the panel itself defines the size of the contents up to each of their max sizes.

    1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the databaseNo - DBUA will do this automatically for you.
    2.How can we move the files to the new locationYou can after the upgrade move the datafiles to wherever you want - use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_1004.htm#i2082829) command.
    3.Can we change db_name of the databaseI do not believe this is possible with DBUA.

  • A few questions about how ZPM works.

    We have patch management (in ZCM 11.2.2), but honestly don't use it much. I have a few questions about how it works that might make me use it more, if I understand it more.
    If I deploy a patch (or a set of patches), it creates a bundle for that deployment. That bundle seems to include actions that deploy the actual patch bundles (correct?). Do I have to recreate a new deployment bundle every time I want to push a new patch? i.e. If I push a Java update, and a month later, a new one comes out, do I build out a new bundle with the new patch in it, or do I modify the old one?
    Once the patch is deployed, can I safely delete that deployment bundle, or should they just pile up?
    Is there a way to "auto-approve" patches? Lets say I always want a group of machines to have the latest Adobe Flash Player patches. Can I set up ZPM to automatically cache and push the latest patches for a specific product, or do I have to manually remediate each patch? (I'm thinking of how MS's WSUS does "auto-approval")
    I see most packages aren't cached in list, but occasionally, a patch is cached without me touching it. Why? Can I change what gets automatically cached?
    Thanks for any help/answers you can provide.

    For #1, (assuming you're not using baselines), you would check the new version of the patch (vulnerability) and do a new deployment.
    #2 - once you're satisified that the machines are deployed (or the best to your ability) you can delete the DEPLOYMENT package. It doesn't delete the actual vulnerability bundles to my knowledge. That's why it's a good idea to name your bundle deployments with something meaningful, IMO (and maybe include a nice desription).
    #3 - currently I don't believe this is possible. I know you can probably configure it to auto-download the patches, but not auto-deploy everything. Given the propensity for software to wreck other things (hello MS .NET patches), this is probably not a good idea. At least I'd never auto-download and auto-deploy any patches without testing them first, and certainly take my servers a little more cautiously than my workstations.
    #4 - I think you can configure what's cached, but I could be wrong.
    I know there's a lot of improvements coming in the pipeline, and it doesn't hurt to "vote" for your enhancements via the enhancement system (more work for Shaun--haha)

  • Have a few questions about iPad before I get one

    I have a few questions about getting an ipad before I committ to get one.
    I have about 24 gb of itunes purchases in my itunes library, I am thinking of getting the 64 gb ipad. However, after you purchase the 64 gb, it will not truly be 64 gb,
    1) how much actual storage space would I have on a 64 gb ipad accounting for the os? On my macbook now I have a 164 gb hard drive but only access to about 148 gb for example.
    2) Would I be able to store the 24 gb of itunes purchases in icloud? How would I do that? Would I keep needing to go into the Purchase History tab in the ITunes store and download the song when I want to listen to it? My concern with this is that the item will no longer be "available in the Itunes store" and I will lose access to my music I purchased? 
    I would like to ditch the laptop and just have the ipad as my computer but want to know about these questions I have first.
    3) Can ipad and iphone now be charged without needing a laptop? Per last year's June 2011 conference when Lion and ICloud were announced, it was stated in Fall 2011 with iOS5 that people could get ipads and iphones and charge them without needing a laptop for syncing?

    1. About 57 on mine
    2. Subscribe to iTunes Match at a cost of about $25 per year - 25000 song limit I think

    3. The iPad comes with a power adapter that plugs into a wall socket and that is the recommended way to charge it anyway. - not by using a computer

    You do not absolutely need a computer in order to use an iPad but you have to do more research to figure out if it will fit your needs that way.
