Hi, My G4 powerbook has stopped receiving software updates.

For months then I go to the software update area, it searches and then says no updates available. I can't even update the software for itunes/iphone so now everything is ridiculously out of date and iphone and itunes desperately need updating. No error messages about disc space etc. Any ideas? I've had this laptop for years and it's never done this before. Thanks in advance

I get the same thing on all our G4s running Tiger, including a PowerBook. To me. that means that Apple has stopped updating Tiger and stopped doing harware updates for machines that are now over five years old.
I would not worry. All ours run fine. Think of it as you PB being "fully matured."

  • My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!

    My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!
    It is the same accout that has been working find for years and just after I updated the software this has happened. My Mac is still receiving and sending via Outlook with the same account and settings. My Iphone 5C has also stopped and I tried deleting the account and adding again (via exchange as it's an exchange accout) the same way I always do and it won't even recognise it to add the settings.
    So annoying. Can anyone help?

  • My iPhone 4S has stopped receiving iMessages, cannot send/load any pictures over whatsapp, cannot join the wifi in my house anymore. What has happened to my iPhone i haven't made any changes?

    My iPhone 4S has stopped receiving/sending iMessages, cannot send/load any pictures over whatsapp and cannot join the wifi in my house anymore.
    Essentially all the things I use my phone for have now stopped working. I constantly have 3G connected (even though i dont want to use it, i want to connect to the wifi in my house) but still when I try to download/ send a picture over whatsapp it comes up with an error message saying the server is unverified, or something equally ridiculous.
    I deleted the app so i could reinstall it (as if that would help), but the app store is started saying "unable to connect", despite 3G, so that bright idea died out pretty sharpish.
    Whenever i try to turn on iMessage, it asks for my Apple ID password, which I know I've typed in correctly because I reset the **** thing about 4 times due to it apparently being "incorrect". Even so, it repeatedly asks for the password over and over as soon as I've entered it, saying it was "unable to connect" before a final "incorrect password" message pops up just to add an extra smack of annoyance.
    I haven't changed a single setting on my iPhone whatsoever. It just suddenly started spiralling into what is now £28/month-worth of pure frustration.
    I don't even have any music or photos on it as I had to free up 3.5GB of space on the **** thing to allow it to update, naively thinking that would solve the problem, but alas it did not.
    I have seen a few questions posted like this one, usually just one of the problems I have, but I seem to have rounded up the whole bunch (lucky me). None of the previously posted questions have received any replies.
    Can some please help me! Honestly, if i see another "unable to..." or "unverified source" pop up again I'll probably smash the thing against the side of my house.
    Cheers.

    On your iPad, go to [Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings] Once that is done, re-connect your iPad to your wifi network.

  • My Mac has stopped receiving mail. Mail is still coming through to my iPhone and my wife's iPad but is not appearing on my mac. I have mail from today on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the Mac. I have not touched any settings. Can anyone adv

    My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?

    So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
    First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
    It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution.

  • I am currently volunteering in Uganda, so data is precious. I can no longer afford unlimited data, I pay by MB/GB. All of a sudden Mail has stopped receiving. I wait until about 60meg, but no new mail. Using Gmail. Doctor says connected fine.

    I am currently volunteering in Uganda, so data is precious. I can no longer afford unlimited data, I pay by MB/GB. All of a sudden Mail has stopped receiving. I wait until about 60meg, but no new mail. Using Gmail. Connectivity Doctor says connected fine. No probs there. And weirdly, when I want to send an email. I write it, it takes absolutely ages to try to send but as soon as I click disconnect it sends the email. Very odd. I would just love to be able to write all my emails offline and save to drafts/Outbox and then just connect to send and check emails then disconnect again.

        I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
    Thank you,

    Did you set up restrictions for changing account info in Settings/General/Restrictions? If yes, disable them and try again to edit your mail account info.

  • My mail has stopped receiving anything and is saying the IMAP server username and password is wrong but I haven't logged out or changed anything?

    My mail (hotmail) has stopped receiving emails and keeps saying the IMAX server username and password is wrong when I haven't changed anything?

    Hello ,Marshyy96
    That is not good, lets see if we can get your email back up and running again. Take a look at the article below to go over the settings to just make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. You may end up needing to remove the email account and add it back in.

    My LG G3 has stopped receiving email from my pop3 road runner account.  It just has an "updating" message.  It worked fine for the first two weeks and nothing now.  Any advice?

    This started about 3 days ago.  I could manually push email through in the last few days but can no longer.  I have deleted the account and re-entered the settings but I get a message that I cannot connect to the server.

  • IPad has stopped receiving email from mail app I use yahoo can log in thru safari but app has not received email since 3/10/15

    ipad has stopped receiving email on mail app

    Try this...
    Double-click the Home button
    Swipe left or right and find the Yahoo Mail app
    Swipe up on the preview of the Yahoo Mail app to force quit it
    Hold down on both the Home AND Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo on black screen (about 10 seconds).
    When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons.
    After it restarts, launch Yahoo Mail and see if it works.
    Hope this helps!

  • Pop gmail account using Mac Mail has stopped receiving email.

    I have two pop gmail accounts using Mac Mail.  One has stopped receiving email while one is fine.  Both are set up exactly the same.  Any idea how to fix this issue?

    I saw on Yahoo's site the following:
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-40.html
    Does that address your problem?
    I see you're using the UK version and that there's no similar page on the Yahoo UK site but perhaps it helps anyway. Have a look here as well: http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/pop/pop-30.html

  • Iphone 6 has stopped receiving email

    My almost new iphone 6 (1month old) has stopped receiving emails for one of my yahoo accounts (it still gets email for the other one). It will not bring in any emails.  When I pull up email it is blank and says I have no email.  I have factory reset the whole phone, reset network settings and deleted the email accounts and reloaded.  Nothing seems to fix the issue. HELP

    Yahoo email is problematic on the iPhone unless you use the Yahoo email app. Just download the app and save yourself the headaches.

  • My powerbook has stopped letting me click.. Help !!

    Hey guys, my powerbook has stopped letting me click.. My trackpad stopped letting me click (ie nothing happens when i do, even though the mouse moves around). I plugged in a USB mouse and its the same, though it lets me right click.
    Any idea how I stop this amazingly annoying thing.?
    Thanks
    Josh

    Sorry for the confusion I may have created.
    Clicking, just below the trackpad, can be done anywhere on the bar, including either end. Does it feel any different physically when you try at various places?
    The setting to defaults is under the keyboard shortcuts tab and would not apply to the mouse--sorry.
    I'm running Tiger and you Panther, so there may be subtle differences.

  • Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

    Whatever the rep told you, it is complete nonsense. There is clearly a problem at your end, the Apple TV 3 is capable of more than the Apple TV 2, and you clearly have the Apple TV 2 working perfectly. Since the Apple TV 2 is able to download from the Internet properly, then my suspicion would be your problem lies on your local network. Interference is a common problem on local networks.
    Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
