Hello,
If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use t on one of these sites...
http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html

If a G5, then this is likely the latest OS you can run...
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.

  • How do I find out about apps for my business

    How do I find out about potential apps that exist but that I don't know of yet

    Hey,
    What I would recommend doing is contacting the local Apple Store in your area. All Apple Retail Stores have specialized business teams that hold free workshops on using the iPad for business and have lots of knowledge about business applications/uses. Give your local store a call and ask for the business team!
    Hope this helps =)

  • How do you find out about Kernel panics?

    Can anyone please explain to me how does one find out about Kernel panics, where to look etc? Thanks and regards

    When the operating system kernel, one of the most basic, foundational levels of the Mac OS X operating sytem, detects some kind of exceptional condition or internal corruption or when the hardware sends it a signal of some grave error, which can be a bug in the system software or a driver or can be a hardware problem and the situation is not one that can be dealt with and continuing operation is impossible, then the kernel "panics." It does it's best to shut down gracefully, but it's an abortive termination of all system activity, after which a reboot usually takes place (though you're notified and must intervene before that happens).
    It is a serious error and should not occur, but computer technology, both hardware and software, being what they are, there's no way to absolutely guarantee they won't happen. Unix-based systems such as Mac OS X have pretty good reliability, especially since Apple controls both the hardware and software. Still, 3rd-party software can be incorporated into a system, and Apple does not control or certify that code, so there's ample opportunity for poorly written add-ons (especially hardware drivers) to cause problems.

  • How do I find out about iPhoto sales and promotions?

    I randomly happened to print a book in iPhoto about a month ago, and it told me that there was free shipping due to the Mother's Day holiday.  How can I find out when these sales or promotions are happening so that I could do this on purpose?  (You'd think that it would be easy to find a way to sign up for spam like this, but I've looked for an hour and can't find any indication that Apple wants me to know about their sales.)

    Haven't seen any such promotions in years and there is no such email address ever mentioned here. There is a link to contact Apple at the bottom of every page, on the right, perhaps someone there can help.

    Quick question for FiOS TV users - how do you (personally) find out about new on-demand videos?
    Do you rely on the Spotlight email, or the trailers playing in the VoD store-front, or mail inserts etc? Keen to hear what everyone thinks works best!
    Thanks,

  • How do I find out about the driver letter of a usb drive by script, given the DeviceID

    Hi all,
    I am wondering if it is possible by script to find out what the drive letter of a usb drive might be.
    I have just inserted my USB stick into a socked and the operating system displays that the drive was recognized and that the drive letter is F:.
    I already know, how USB devices can be listed by WMI script, but how do I extract the drive letter of a USB storage device.
    The DeviceID is known, where do I find the drive letter given the DeviceID ?

  • How can I find out about development of Thunderbird?

    I can't find any information on development of Thunderbird.
    Links on the Thunderbird homepage only take me to the general "Mozilla" pages instead of any Thunderbird-specific pages. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/

    Thunderbird is a community project and while Mozilla's involvement is significantly reduced, that does not get the code base out on it's own. Thunderbird and SeaMonkey are basically the comm central folder in the Mozilla code base. Hence everything linking to Mozilla. Thunderbird shared the Geko layout engine with Firefox and to all intents and purposes that is almost indistinguishable from Firefox. The result is Thunderbird developers find themselves working on core to fix Thunderbird bugs, even though it is technically part of Firefox.
    Everything is controlled through bugzilla. enhancements, faults, poor usability and design. You do not need to do more that assign your self a bug and start coding. Although the involvement of the module owner or a peer helps get patches accepted. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/Thunderbird
    Bugzilla is used to extract details of bugs fixed (including enhancement) for the documentation of release notes. Because flagging bug for inclusion in release notes is manual there are always those the just appear without a release notes.
    Talking or communicating with other developers appears to still be mostly IRC. (Global means Global at Mozilla with people in many countries collaborating)
    This wiki page https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC after lots of instructions does tell you what channels are for what in Mozilla IRC.
    Links to mercurial, are on this page. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Source_Code/Mercurial
    Downloadable source here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Source_Code/Downloading_Source_Archives
    Is there a specific area you were looking at? perhaps I can point you to someone.

  • How can I clear out "about:newtab" for privacy?

    When I (or a visitor) enter "about:newtab", recently-visited sites are shown on the screen. I do not want my recently-visited sites shown. I want to remove this information from "about:newtab".

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.<br />
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in the browser.newtabpage.pinned (default = [null]) and browser.newtabpage.blocked prefs that you can check/modify on the about:config page.
    You can create these Boolean prefs on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from generating thumbnails for the about:newtab page.
    *name: browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled with value: true
    *name: pageThumbs.enabled with value: false
    Delete the thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove already stored web page thumbnails.
    See this knowledge base article about the about:config page.

  • How can I work out about Pan function?

    Hi,
    Can anybody help? my point is I don´t want my XY graph to have pan function.
    I mean the XY graph cannot pan neither running VI nor not running. If it´s impossible to do that two ways, just only when running VI that cannot pan the graph.
    Thanks in advance
    Mannie

    What you can do is edit the graph palette to hide the panning tool.
    Click on the graph
    LabVIEW menu >> Edit >> Customize Control
    In the new window, click on the left button in the tool menu (Change to Customize Mode). Sorry but my mothertongue is not English and I ignore the name of the illustrated tool.
    Select the panning tool in the graph palette
    Press Ctrl + Shift + J to move the panning tool to back (or click on the square with two arrows (Reorder) and select Move to Back)
    Move the panning tool under the zooming tool
    Resize the graph palette decoration
    Switch back to Edit Mode
    Menu >> File >> Apply Changes
    Close the customizing window
    You have now a graph with a customized graph palette. See the LabVIEW help for more details about customizing controls.

    I have 2 cds on ITunes and have had millions of plays on Number One Music with the direct link to Itunes,  but no reports from Itunes about sales ????

    If you are an artist, then you should have contact information for someone at iTunes that handled getting your music on iTunes.
