Have a new 2GB shuffle. How can I get this to work on my iMac G4

Alas I am in the category of OS X 10.4.11 and I only have a 800Mhz processor and reading the minimum requirements for 10.5 of 867Mhz, it would seem that I cannot upgrade. It this correct?
Do you know where I can get the latest iTunes that my OS supports.
Would the latest shuffle work on this version of iTunes.
Currently only have iTunes 4.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

You should be able to go to Apple> Support> Australia and click on iTunes
in the right side, to open the iTunes download; that is way too new of a
version for your computer configuration as-it-is.... iTunes 10.
http://www.apple.com/au/support/
If you choose an older version (I have iTunes 8.2.1 in one Mac OS X 10.4.11
and iTunes 9.2 in another; plus iTunes 10.1 in a Mac OS X 10.5.8) than 10,
it probably won't support the new iPod Shuffle.
• iTunes for G3: (works in G4s)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL857
• iTunes 9.2.1 download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
+The documentation accompanying the iPod would tell the minimum system+
+configuration needed for the product to work; so: OS X 10.5.8 & iTunes 10.1.+
You may be able to get OS X 10.5 to work, providing the computer could be tricked
into working with the Leopard 10.5 retail DVD install disc; there were a few ways of
doing so, as published online. A search could yield more, some very similar...
Here is one of those links to some information on the topic...
• Unsupported Leopard Installation:
http://www.lowendmac.com/osx/leopard/unsupported.html
You may be able to contact Apple Australia via the phone number, indicated
in the main online store's left-side header; to phone Sales support and ask
for a product specialist for Leopard OS X 10.5, as you need to get a full install
DVD to be able to upgrade the Mac. Of course, they are not expected to be in
any position to help you with an Unsupported Installation of this product.
• Apple (AU) Sales: 133-622 (they may refer you to an AppleCare specialist)
If for whatever reason the methods suggested in other sites do not work, you
may be stuck with a perfectly good Mac OS X 10.5 Install DVD; but that may
not be a problem since late PPC-based Macs and several older Intel-based
Macs could use a full install DVD.
Other than what has been suggested or discussed online, I have no experience
with this so far; although I did gift-away an iMac G4 17" 800MHz computer, that
would be a prime candidate for some unsupported upgrade; I may not help do it.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

    I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

    Setting up iCloud with the same account data and switching on Photostream should do the trick:
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    If you prefer to have only the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices, and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (on a device using iOS 6, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream). Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

  • How can I get iCloud to work on my IMac?

    I have an IMac, iPhone and now a MacBook. I have iCloud working on my MacBook and iPhone. How can I get it to work on my iMac 27" Both computers have Lion for the OS. Blessings...

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    Oaky, at least we got that far.  Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers.  Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number.  Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
    Here are some that will remain as strings:
    +123
    123 with a space after it.
    .123

  • Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

    Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

    Thanks for your quick reply. I tried a number of different values. Usually when I do a negative offset they're very small values, like -.25 or -.5.
    An Update- I took the art work into Ai CS 6 and It still did not work, which is really strange. And I've used it hundreds of times with success in the past. Also I tried it with live type and outlines, ungrouped, un-compounded still could not get it to negative offset.
    Thanks for the help.

    (1) So, I found a youtube video showing how to open up my iMac and replace a Disk drive. I opened it. I removed the disk drive. I opened the metal cover of the lid of the disk drive. It was clean and immaculate; so, it destroyed and debunked the dirty drive theory. But, just to make sure I sucked around the optical sensor with a vacuum and gently brushed it with a Q-tip.
    (2) I then watched a you tube video showing how the drive operated (it was a drive supplied with power outside an iMac with a transparent cover unlike the opaque metal cover that we have on our drives). My scientific curiosity started to wonder if somehow the mechanical part (of the electro-mechanical assembly) was locked or jammed. So, I started messing with the arms with the utmost care after watching the video to see if i could move them manually. Yes on some. The main arm that is linked with the drive motor was immovable. The rest I played with a little bit, took great notice in the start of the video to see how the arms looked before inserting a disk. I then put it all back together.
    It works now. My guess is that taking it out and then placing it back in along with the resetting options that others have done was the trick. I believe it is a possibility that the hard drive became locked mechanically in some strange manner after ejecting a DVD in conjunction with the uploading of the new OS. I believe the actual removal, reinstallation, and resetting of the drive put everything back into sync. My computer sits in a climate controlled dust free environment. I knew for a fact that this hard drive was OKAY.

    How can I get tv on demands working on my iPad  as wanted to watch my program but it says HTML5 not supported on this, so any ideas that can help?

    HTML5 is supported on the iPad but I assume that the site that you are going to doesn't yet support it. Does the site have it's own app - here in the UK the TV channels have their own apps, plus there are apps such as TVCatchup.

  • I have a Macbook I purchased in 2006. It is running version 10.4.11. It says I do not have any software updates. How can I get this computer updated?

    I have a Macbook that I bought in 2006. I am operating on version 10.4.11. I'd like to find out how to upgrade this laptop so I don't have to buy a new one. I can't do much on here with this version, and when I go to Software Updates, it tells me there aren't any. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

    You need to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
    An Update is a free change within an existing Operating System. Such as the .11 added to 10.4.
    An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
    You can upgrade straight from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ 
    You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/  
    I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
    A retail 10.5 Leopard disk will run you around $200
