Going to buy the 12'' ibook, how much GB, GHz, and MB is good?

i want to buy the 12'' ibook, for college, i will not be using it for video games or videos, just exclusively internet and word documents, and some pictures. whats a good enough GB, GHz, and MB for me in my situation? thanks!!

Here's something to look at first: iBook and PowerBook Reliability:

To run Tiger, you can do it with a iBook G4 with a 30GB hard drive, a 800Mhz processor, and 512 MB of memory. The 30GB hard drive is really small and bigger would be better. More MB of memory and a faster processor would be better.
To run Panther, you could do it with the same processor and hard drive, and 256 MB of RAM. But again, more RAM is better.
I am not familiar with other iBook models, but possibly you could also use a G3 or older for your purposes.
You also want to get all of the original CD's that come with whichever iBook you select.
Good luck!

I took my iMac 2010 to a "Third Party" company to replace my hdd, they did, but now it will not boot. if i took this to the Apple store, how much would it cost to fix? if i buy my own SSD (£70) Thanks a LOT!

Well, this "third party" is going to put my old hdd back and not charge me any money (as he did not fix it) but i think its better off taking it to an AASP because i have a feeling Apple store will charge way too much.
The way I read that comment – you seem to suggest the Mac was broken before the third party replaced the disk - is that the case or was it working before the HD was replaced?
Since the Mac is out of warranty you will have to pay for any repairs wherever you take it. Authorised Apple service centres will be able to get parts whereas any non certified technicians will have to use 'grey market' parts since Apple will not sell parts to the public. These may be reconditioned or not official parts - it's a risk to use them. Visit the Apple store & ask them - there is no point in lying about it being handled by a third party. An Apple tech may be able to tell when they open the case, depending on how meticulous your third party was.
If you are handy with a screwdriver & have tools and a lot of patience you could use a guide on iFixit.com, but there is no indication of why this Mac not booting up.
It could be that the disk is not formatted correctly.
Are you sure the tech copied an OS onto the disk? Did they install the OS for you or did they clone the old disk?
Can you boot from a backup disk or from an install disk? Does the disk appear in Disk Utility when booted from another OS (either the installer or a backup).
'Not booting' can mean so many things, what does booting do exactly? Grey screen, black screen, any noises or tones, any signs of life at all…?
If you look at the iFixit guides you will see many fiddly connectors, if the tech failed to hook them all back up it could explain the failure, or perhaps you just have a disk that is 'dead on arrival' - sometimes that happens. A properly trained technician should be able to figure that one out.

I don't see any unlocked phone on the web site.
If you're outside the USA you can't buy one where without coming here and getting it. Even then it is not a good idea because the warranty is only good in the USA.

I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

Going to buy the 30' cinema HD Display

hello everyone! this is the first time im in touch with Apple!
this next week end im going to buy the 30' cinema display!
From what i read i will need dual dvi link for max. res. but my gfx seems to have only 1 dvi output!! THO it can reach 2048x1536!
will this give me any real problem? i need opinions to help me on my purchase!
im going to upgrade in na few months and this great monitor is part of the upgrade!
can someone please help me out! Because i dont want to "missuse" this lovely display and because it is quite an investment!!dont want to damage any hardware!
thank you all!

Hi-
I wouldn't expect any damage to occur from running at lower than optimal resolution. Having said this, it is possible that a card of marginal power might have problems driving the monitor. If the card lacks the necessary power, it won't hurt the monitor. You will only get a blank screen.
Good luck, and enjoy your monitor!

The battery of my Ipod doesnt charge, so how much it cost and where can I replace it??

the battery of my Ipod doesnt charge, so how much it cost and where can I replace it???

You can take it to an Apple store...I think its costly though, I was told maybe a 100 bucks...not sure though. How long have you had the iTouch before the battery showed signs of failure, what Generation?
This is something that has been having me wonder about battery life.

I have imported a csv from my mortgage repayments, my father and I pay seperate amounts. I am trying to show how much I have paid vs what he has paid, how much is owed and what % we own.. We are 50/50 on the property

I have imported a csv from my mortgage repayments, my father and I pay seperate amounts. I am trying to show how much I have paid vs what he has paid, how much is owed and what % we own.. We are 50/50 on the property.. Help?

Hi Spears,
I not sure what your actual question is.
Does the CSV file include only your payments? Your payments and your dad's payments as separate items?
Do you want to com[are ongoing payments, or do you want to compare the current totals paid by each? Is the 'we' in "what we own" collective, or individual? DItto for "how much is owed."
Too many loose ends to tie down a clear answer.

Barry

How do I find out how much space OSX and applications are taking up on my HDD?

I am thinking of moving my OS and all applications to a SSD to free up space on my MBP.
My question is how do I find out how much space OSX and installed applications are taking up on my HDD so I know how big the SSD needs to be? Also, what is the best way to move these files across to the new SSD once installed?
Many thanks,
Andrew.

If you do command-click or right click on your hard drive and select get info, it will tell you how full the HD is.
there are some apps that can show you exactly how big particular apps are

I replaced my internal drive with a SSD for performance reasons a few months ago. There are a number of ways to move your files over to the new SSD. I am a fan of the clean install, which might take a bit more time and effort but results in a very fast and trouble free mac. An easy way to do this if you are replacing your internal drive is to put the old drive in an external drive enclosure. Then you install the new SSD and install mavericks on it. In my case I used Diskmaker X to make a Mavericks installer (DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) . Then you can reinstall your apps from scratch, and finally move your documents over from the external drive.

How much music, videos, and pictures can an 8gb iphone 4 hold?

how much music, videos, and music can an iphone 4 hold?

If you look in itunes at the bottom it will say how long the total list of music will play for and how big it is. eg. 1.00GB.
Make sure you are in the (main)Music folder, though otherwise it will only tell you the info for that playlist or whatever you are looking at.
As posted earlier "You need to do your own math, music and videos have wide differences in size. More short songs and more short videos can be placed on the iPhone. The number of media does not matter, it is the size (data, GB) of the media that matters."
