Help me with this iBook!!!! Please.

Hi everyone,
I am new to Apple Discussions and am having a issue ; I received a iBook notebook with running 10.1.5 ; I noticed Internet Explorer ( not safari ) which after reading up on, apparently was stopped as of 2005. I looked when the last update was completed on this iBook and it was 2004/2005.
There are a few things I wish to do; but am running into issues.
1- I want to reset back to how it 'once' was. Issue with this is I do not have any disks for it. I only recieved it with usb mouse/tv adapter/wall plug. So no 'boot' disk. I heard there are ways around this ( considering the iBooks age ) vs. how it was before.
2- I wish to update all software/hardware to as new as possible. Issue with this is ; it's my first Mac OS. So honestly I have no idea how or what to do.
3- find where in the system I can find out all of this iBooks information ( which is OS it runs, what the ram is, what the hdd space is; basically all the specs )
I know this Mac has a lot of history. I just hope someone can come to my rescue.
I will be completely honest ; please use as "dummified" language as possible. I am no good with computers. I have always been a pc fan ( except I love my iPhone ).
Anything anyone can do would be most helpful. I know with this being a older device not all the data is easily found. I am willing to download a install disk to a USB drive if needed.
Since I directly can't find the specs for this iBook I did find the -easily found- 'about this Mac' and it is the following :
Mac OS X
Version 10.1.5
Memory 256 MB
Processor PowerPC G3
Apple computer inc. 1983-2001
If that helps at all.
Thanks,

Hi Justin,
1- I want to reset back to how it 'once' was. Issue with this is I do not have any disks for it. ... So no 'boot' disk.
That's a show stopper right there.
You can revert an iBook to its originally shipped condition without its original installation discs, but to do so would require another boot device containing its original installation disc image. Apple may be able to sell you a copy but may not give you the time of day without paying a modest fee for technical support. Given these challenges I don't recommend even attempting to revert that Mac to its originally shipped condition.
It's a shame to dishonor its tenth anniversary with this comment, but OS X 10.1.5 is, frankly, horrible. You ought to be able to upgrade it to Tiger, and original Tiger discs are available on the used market. They are not cheap. You will need the retail version which is distinguished with a big X on a black background - grey discs are machine-specific and will not work.
The earliest iBooks can only be upgraded to Panther.
Your first task is to identify the exact hardware model. Click the  menu and select "About this Mac..." or words to that effect. There may be a "More Info..." button in that window. If there is click it and see if you can find out there. I don't recall what its nomenclature was with OS X 10.1. I've been trying to suppress those memories.

You could restarting your phone that sometimes fixes issues
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Changing the Column Components
and this statement
In the Visual Designer, select the top Drop Down List component in the Table.
"It's pretty confusing because there isn't a Drop Down List component in the Table as far as i can tell. There is a Drop Down List on the canvas up above this data table, but that has already been bound in a previous process, here is that previous proces:"
Configuring the Drop Down List
Select the Drop Down List in the Visual Designer and, in the Properties window, change its General > id property to personDD.
Right-click the personDD Drop Down List in the Visual Designer and choose Bind to Data from the pop-up menu. The Bind to Data dialog box appears.........
Can anyone tell me where i can get help with this tutorial or where i can download the finished program so i can sync up with what is actually being referenced in the questional statement that i mentioned above please?
Thanks very much!

In Step 5 of "Changing the Column Components" you change the Trip Type column to a drop-down list.
5. Select TRIP.TRIPTYPEID from the Selected list and make the following changes:
* Change the Header text field from TRIPTYPEID to Trip Type.
* Using the drop-down list, change the Component Type from Static Text to Drop Down List.
6. Click OK to enforce your changes and dismiss the window. If the table columns are too wide after performing the above steps, you can resize them by selecting the first component in each column and dragging its selection handles.
7. In the Visual Designer, select the top Drop Down List component in the Table. Right-click and choose Bind to Data from the pop-up menu. The Bind to Data dialog box opens.

Help me with this code please

Hello,
This is the first program that I have attempted to write alone....and I am stuck. I am trying to acquire data from a scope. I want the vi to only load the scope setup the first time the code is executed. Once the setup has been loaded I just want the vi to reinitialize the scope in order to acquire more data. I have tried first call, case structures, ...everything I can think of, but when I continuously run the vi, it still loops and reloads the setup each time. I have attached a picture of the vi code and outlined the area of code in question. The outlined case structure is programmed to initialize the scope to open communications, then clear any existing data, then recall a specific scope setup on true. On false, I only want this setting of code to initialize communications with the scope again without recalling the setup. Can a professional please explain how I am supposed to accomplish this. Thank you
Solved!

If you use CONTINUOUSLY RUN to keep something running, you are in effect pushing the RUN button every time it stops, so the FIRST RUN function will return TRUE every time.
There are ways to do exactly what you ask, but you're better off looking at the heart of your issue:
You need a loop.
Put a WHILE loop around the part you want to do repeatedly.
Create a STOP button to stop the loop.
Do your once-only INIT stuff outside the loop, and make sure the INIT part passes something into the WHILE loop
(to make sure the loop doesn't start until after INIT).

Help me with this class please

Ok, so I have written the following class but I have 2 problems:
1 - Why does my error checking not work. By this I mean even if I enter a month over 12 or a day of the month over 31 it still prints it out instead of saying "Invalid"???
2 - How, in the toString can I convert the date from the format 12/3/2002 say it says 12 March 2002??
Thanks in advance for any help
public class Date {
// Date Class Constants
private static final int MAX_DAY = 31;
private static final int MIN_DAY = 1;
private static final int MAX_MONTH = 12;
private static final int MIN_MONTH = 1;
private static final int MAX_YEAR = 2100;
private static final int MIN_YEAR = 2000;
// Date instance variables
private int day;
private int month;
private int year;
private String AllDate;
// Date Class Methods
public Date(String s)
AllDate = s;
public int getDay()
Integer iDay = new Integer(AllDate.substring(0,2));
day = iDay.intValue();
if (day > MAX_DAY && day < MIN_DAY)
System.err.println("Invalid day");
System.exit(1);
return day;
public int getMonth()
Integer iMonth = new Integer(AllDate.substring(3,5));
month = iMonth.intValue();
if (month > MAX_MONTH && month < MIN_MONTH)
System.err.println("Invalid month");
System.exit(1);
return month;
public int getYear()
Integer iYear = new Integer(AllDate.substring(6));
year = iYear.intValue();
if (year > MAX_YEAR && year < MIN_YEAR)
System.err.println("Invalid year");
System.exit(1);
return year;
// Instance Methods - Mutators
public boolean isDay(int d)
boolean validDay = false;
if (day == d)
validDay = true;
return validDay;
public boolean isMonth(int m)
boolean validMonth = false;
if (month == m)
validMonth = true;
return validMonth;
public boolean isYear(int y)
boolean validYear =false;
if (year == y)
validYear = true;
return validYear;
// Other Date Methods
* return a string representing the Date in English
public String toString()
return "getDay()" + "getMonth()" + getYear();
// end of class Date
// Date test harness
public static void main(String[] args) {
EasyReader keyboard = new EasyReader();
EasyWriter screen = new EasyWriter();
// declare Date variables
String newDate = keyboard.readString("Enter Date: ");
System.out.println(newDate.toString());

Because:
1. You never create an instance of your Date class
2. You never call any of your validation methods
3. Even if you fixed 1. and 2. your code would not flag 4/31/2001 as an invalid date (different months have different maximum day values)
Here's what you should do.
1. Change all your getxxx method names to setxxx and call them from your constructor
2. Add getxxx methods that simply return the current values
3. In your driver (main()) code, create a new instance of Date, passing it the string you read in
4. Don't forget leap years!

Any hint from you I apprieciate

Hi.
I got some possible answer for U.
For opening a page in the default browser, U can use this type of program (more informations are available at "question of the week number15"):
import java.io.*;
class Launch{
     public Launch()
          try{
          /* ok for windows NT */
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start www.yahoo.com");
          /* normally ok for windows95 */
     //Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start www.yahoo.com");
     } catch (IOException exception) {
          System.out.println ( exception.getMessage());
To change the background color (in red in this example), use :
this.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.red);
good luck

Help me with this effect PLEASE!

I'm trying to mimic a vocal effect as heard in Rob Zombie's "Living Dead Girl"
You can hear the effect right at the beginning of the song (after the introductory monologue line)
The first words are "Living Dead Girl", and then the music starts. I'm trying to duplicate the effect used in that first line. Any ideas on how to do this?
Here is a link to listen/watch the video. The line starts at 0:09 seconds in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvsMPOfblfg

OK, so I understand the distortion, but from the beginning of the line to the end, it has an effect of getting more and more high pitched and tiny (or even tinny) sounding. If there were a way to take the audio and create a pitch curve on it, almost the same way you would do a fade curve, I think that would do it, but can Logic do that?

Mine does the same thing occasionally, is your phone jailbroken? Sometimes it will work if you delete the book and reinstall it or put your phone into airplane mode then turn it back off.
