Frustrated with upgrade - NEED HELP

I had a problem on my PowerBook PowerPC G4 when I updated to Safari 3.1.1
Safari, Mail and the Software update would no longer run.
Tried everything to no avail.
Did an archive system install back to 10.4.6
Now I am unable to update to 10.4.11
I downloaded the Installer Package and when I run it I get the prompt:
"You cannot install Mac OS X Update (PowerPC) on this volume.
This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
What am I doing wrong?

Here's another suggestion that will help in the future:
Basic Backup
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
9. Data Backup (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete FireWire drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Frustrated with lack of help!

I up graded my phone to an iphone 5c. I received it yesterday and call the 800# to activate my phone. During the phone call I was transferred to customer service because my phone was unable to activated. I was on hold for 30 mins and the customer service rep told me there was nothing she could do manually I would have to call the 800#. I did this 3 times, each time told the same thing! Finally the 4th time I told the rep I needed to speak to a manager and he informed me the manager wasn't available and to call tech support. So my 5th phone call to Verizon I spoke to a girl in tech support who was able to tell why my phone wasn't unable to be activated. the SIM card that was preinstalled was never registered and I would have to go to a Verizon store to get one. Here's my problem again, I leave in a rural western pa. I called my local store and they told me I would have to buy a SIM card because they are not a corporate store! The closets corporate store is 1 hour away. I am so frustrated with verizons lack of system checks that I just want to send the phone back!! I have never had this many problems with Verizon and I have been a customer for 15 years.

Verizon can mail you a Sim for free. No travel time to a corporate store.

In their community help forum the not being able to activate is listed there as well as the fix.
Good Luck

The

It would happen even before you made the datasource configuration changes.
Looks like you added a j2ee.jar to the JBoss classpath.

Broadband upgrade, need help with speed please

Hi all,
I recently upgraded from a very old broadband package with an old router from the 1960's to the 'upto 20meg' service, with the bloke on the phone advising we should receive about 17meg as we are close to the exchange (Worcester Park, Surrey). So when the new kit arrived the speed jumped from 2megs to about 4ish and it's now settled on about 5 after 10 days.
I've posted the stats below as i'm after some advice really because I can't make sense of it. Am I missing something here or should I be getting faster speeds?
Cheers

Hi welcometo the forum
You appear to have a stable connection however your connection speed is low for your line attenuation are you connected to the master socket ? Or an extension if you can connect to the test socket Located at the rear of the removable front plate of the master socket and recheck the hub stats and speedtest this wil eliminate any faults with your internal wiring also are you connecting the hub to your pc by wireless or ethernet cable if wireless could you try connecting by cable and again post the speed test results this will eliminate any speed losses due to wireless interference Please try these first then we can advise further

I try to upgrade my Mac OS, But I can't it keep telling me that the OS Version is not OS X 10.5.
Don't know what to do.

I should said that I remember I used a upgrade DVD Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Back then it has no problem to upgrade from 10.4 Tiger. I Remeber I bought the retail upgrade DVD, but couldn't find it.
I used the Upgrade DVD - Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard that is bundle with my iMac (my other Mac that bought in some time late 2009) . On the DVD it stamped "This Software is part of a hardware bundle- not to be sold separately.
It may be the problem that would not Allow me to upgrade?

Problem with ichat, need help reinstalling.

Hey guys, I'm new to mac so I need a little help.
I did something last night to my comp and I'm not sure what it was. But when I click on the iChat icon it just comes up with a ? I search in spotlight and it's not there. I must have deleted it while getting rid of some other things. I don't have time machine and I need some help reinstalling. When I bought the mac it had Tiger and I still have those disc, but right now I have upgraded to Leopard. Where can I find iChat to reinstall? I looked on the iLife section of the Tiger discs but I couldn't find it. Any info will help.
Thanks

update
I downloaded pacifist and got ichat to reinstall from my Tiger 10.4.9 disc, however, now when I try to open iChat it says, You cannot use the application “iChat” with this version of Mac OS X. I have leopard 10.5.2. Does anyone know how to update the version I have? I use the mac updater but it doesn't find anything.

Very frustrated with Mail, please help

Hi All,
First of all, I want to tell you that I just moved from a PC to Mac, but I am very computer savvy so I had no problems moving my emails, addresses and all that to Mail, as well as performing any other tasks on the Mac. However, I have one VERY weird problem. Please bare with me as I explain....
I have 3 (three) email accounts setup in Mail. The two of them work fine. The third one has problems receiving emails, it does NOT receive emails at all.
When I try to setup this account, I get an error that the mail server is not accessible. I thought that the mail server was offline but I still tried to access the mail server through the web access. I COULD access it. Then I tried to receive mail in Mac Mail and I got NO error messages, but I did NOT receive any of my test email messages that I sent myself on that email. I was trying to figure out what the problem was, but with no success. Then I thought I will try accessing the emails through Entourage. I was shocked when Entourage DID recieve the emails from that mail server and that email account. Well, by now I was VERY confused and frustrated. Entourage CAN access the email account, but Mail can NOT access it!??! I am using exaclty the same settings for both and still the result is the same.
I didn't know what else to do, so I called the Apple tech support. They were also confused with the issue. They escalated the issues to the engineers and they told me that the server is an Exchange server and that I should access it as such not on POP. Well , no luck again.
So, to sum it up, I can receive email from this mail account from EVERYWHERE except from Mac Mail. I can also access it from Entourage on this same computer, from the web, from a PC laptop I have, but not from Mac Mail.
PLEASE HELP!!! I don't know what to do any more. I hate to use Entourage because I just moved from a PC to a MAC and I don't want to be using the same Microsoft crap (which unfortunatelly is working properly). Any advice and suggestions are more then welcome.
BTW, I did try all of things that I read in different posts on this forum on similar issues (deleting the "mail" folder in library, etc), but none worked. I also tried uninstalling Mail and installing it again, again no luck.
HELP!
Thanks!
Alex

I have no direct experience with Exchange servers, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that for Mail to be able to communicate with one, it must be configured to allow IMAP access at the server. See the Mail help topic "Setting up your email accounts," which says in part:
"An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server."
IOW, if you can't convince the administrators that not everyone in the world uses proprietary Microsoft application "standards" (which of course exist for the good of the world & not just for MS), there isn't much you can do except use the crappy apps that Microsoft owns, along with the standards they enforce ... for the good of the world, of course. :-/

Nano - OS X Upgrade Needed - HELP!

Hey,
I need some help with my friends iPod Nano... she had an old 12" PowerBook which is running 10.3.9, but it says that it needs 10.4.9 or later.
The specs (from what I can remember) is 1GHz PowerPC G4, Memory: 256(?)MB Built-In
How can she upgrade to the one she's needing for the iPod Nano, she can't afford a new computer.
Now - I'm not sure if i can do this...
But when I got my PowerBook G4, it came with Panther installed, and came with the Tiger upgrade discs (2 of them), but I last October upgraded to Leopard - so the Tiger discs have just been sitting there... could I give her these disc to upgrade her computer to Tiger and she could get the rest (.9) from the software updates?
Or is there any other way she can get what she needs.

You cannot give her your discs to use, which probably would not work anyway. She can call AppleCare and through that route buy a retail copy of Tiger, or buy it from Amazon at a higher cost, or she could upgrade here memory on the PB to 1 GB and buy Leopard.
I'd recommend the latter suggestion.

Disabling the plugin WILL help on sites and pages that have already converted videos to HTML5 (MP4) format and no longer require FlashPlayer. WIth the plugin enabled, the page will default to playing the Flash version first, and it will crash if the plugin isn't working as it should. However, disabling the plugin will cause problems on pages that HAVEN'T been converted to HTML5 yet, and there are still quite a few of them out there.

Having problems with burning - need help please!

when I try and burn a disk itunes says no recording
software found. Everytime I start up itunes it says the drivers associated with burning are missing. It ask me to
reinstall the software which I do and I have the same
problem. I have other burning software but cant burn any
itunes Ive purchased do to the format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The german note is:
Achtung
Die Registrierungseinträge für die iTunes Treiber zum Import und Brennen von CDs und DVDs fehlen. Diese kann Folge der Installation einer anderen Software zum Brennen von CDs sein. Bitte installieren sie iTunes erneut.
Could anybody please help me??

I need more information about your hardware configuration. Run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD Diagnostics... command and post the results here.
I'm assuming that you're not running 64-bit windows.
It sounds like the driver didn't get installed. You could try doing a repair install on iTunes --
Windows Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panels -> Add or Remove Programs
Select iTunes, Select Change/Remove button, Select "Repair" radio button, click OK.
If that doesn't work, you might try downloading just the CD drivers from :

Get the first link, not the second one that talks about gearsec compatibility.
