Given an older Mac Power G4 and internet is OLD STUFF!! NEED Update

I just got a Power G4 with OS X 10.0.4 and i redid the operating system under my name and now it only will let me use Internet Explorer 5.1. I know i need to update my internet browser but it wont seem to let me! I have tried safari and firefox but need to use an older version of each with my operating system but if i try downloading anything it just freezes up and i have to force quit the internet. I have tried the automatic updates but it doesnt update anything. ANY ideas would be great!

Go purchase a more current version of OS X then erase the hard drive and install a fresh copy of OS X. G4s can run Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger (10.2, 10.3, and 10.4.) You can find copies for sale on eBay (they are all obsolete.) Just be sure to purchase only the retail packages. Do not purchase discs that have gray OEM labels on them as these are machine dependent and may not work with your model.
Internet Explorer is the only browser that came with 10.0. IE is no longer available. Note that you may need more RAM to run later versions of OS X. Jaguar and Panther require at least 128 MBs and Tiger requires at least 256 MBs. However, you would be well advised to install whatever the maximum is for your particular model.
You can download a manual and specs from support.apple.com.

My older mac book pro and iMac are both running 10.6.8 and both have started running safari and email VERY slowly. My new mac book pro running 10.9 is having no issues. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

No noticeable speed differences running the four latest OSs on my machine.

I have an older Mac desktop, version 10.5.8. I need to reinstall Image Capture. Help, please.

I have an older Mac desktop, version 10.5.8. I need to reinstall Image Capture. Help, please.

Do you have the original gray system disks that came with the computer, or a full retail install disk set for 10.5? If so, you can use a utiltiy:

to extract just Image Capture from the disk and install it. Otherwise, you would have to reinstall the entire OS

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
When iOS 6.1 comes out I would update.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

I am signed into the App Store on my iphone 4 and one of my apps need updating and my brother was signed into it but its like its locked to his Apple ID I have tried signing out and turning my phone off its just not working

I am signed into the App Store on my iphone 4 and one of my apps need updating and my brother is signed into it because I didn't have any credit to make an ID so he signed in so I could download apps but its like its locked to his Apple ID I have tried signing out and turning my phone off its just not working please help.

Apps are locked to the Apple ID that was used to download them. You will have to sign in as your brother in order to update it.

What do I do if I have an older mac working great and I want to sync with my newer phone via iCloud?

I am really disappointed that my older Mac will not be able to use iCloud to sync with my newer phone. Has anything been done to remedy this problem. You make a great product that lasts, but it appears people are being forced to upgrade when nothing is wrong with their computers. Why support other brands but not your own. I want to continue to buy Apple products, but not if I am forced to upgrade before I need or can afford too.

I'm afraid that five years is a long time in computer history; and while an older machine will continue to work as well as it ever did you often can't take advantage of more recent developments in technology.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.
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
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion 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

Given an older ipod , 5th generation and 30GB, can't restore

I was given an older iPod, 5th generation 30GB, I can't reset or restore it using windows 7 based computer even with the most current iTunes download. Is anyon e else having trouble resetting older iPods with windows or is their something wrong with the iPod itself. And if there is a problem with the iPod, does anyone know the approximate cost to get it repaired. I can't get anyone at Apple to tell me anything without it being looked at by a 'Genius' first. I don't want to waste my time driving an hour each way to an Apple store if I would better off just buying a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's more information on error message, it just says 'unknown error' and won't go into disc mode.when following the '5 R's' in technical support.

My iphone 4 had went black and now it wont turn back on i was just texting a second ago now i tried holding down the power button and that didnt work i need help

my iphone 4 had went black and now it wont turn back on i was jsut texting on it a few mins. ago then when i went to check my texts it was black i tried holding the power button down but that didnt work can someone please help

Hi alicia243,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone wont power on, I recommend going through these steps first:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,
Jeremy

I have Firefox 3.6.13 and I know that it needs updating but whenver I try it seems to go nowhere. Just keeps trying to update but never does. I have an iMac G5 with OS X 10.4.11. Can you help?

What more can I say? I am told that I need to update and when I try nothing happens. It keeps trying and trying. This has happened many times and I just give up on trying to update like it says I need.

'''Do not download and try to install the newest 8.0.x '''
see [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html Firefox 8 System Requirements]
Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac(that you have) and require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
'''latest supported version for your os is 3.6.24 '''you can download from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
see [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/ Firefox 3.6 System Requirements]
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions if you like try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8

App updates download and process but still show needs update

Since 10.5.3 often i'll have app updates and when i select to download them it will download and process but still stay in update available. I've tried all the standard, restart, logout etc but they are still there. Like right now Whiteboard Lite is the one hanging. Then randomly some day it will go through but its kind of annoying.

Ok...
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the LIbrary folder then the Caches folder.
Move these files to the Trash: com.apple.appstore and com.apple.storeagent
Now from the same Library folder open the Preferences folder. Move these files to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder, open the Cookies folder. Move this file to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
If you don't see the com.apple.storeagent files, don't worry about it.
Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference.

How do I add music to my ipod from new computer and not loose old stuff from old computer?

Have a new computer and would like to add more music to my ipod. It won't let me keep my old music and add new music. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks for the info...sounds like it might work. So just to clarify because I am NOT a computer whiz...by changing the setting it will keep my old downloads on my ipod and now I can download new music with my new computer and add them to my ipod. My old stuff will not be lost. When I was on my new computer there was a button that said, "On this ipod"...I could see all of my old music, but wasn't able to make new playlists or manage them in any way. Will I be able to manage them? Or will they be "frozen" so to speak?
Also, where do I look for this setting?
Thanks so much for your time!
