How to identify an iBook G/3 700 MHz?

I'm trying to get an accurate identification of the iBook white G/3 700 MHz with 12in display we just acquired. There seems to be a couple of very similar models. The Apple Support article is unclear (<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88039>) as to which one we have. One model is an early 2002 release (M8602LL/A), the other a late 2002 release (M8860LL/A). Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your time.

Restore iBook 700 mhz?

I have a completely dead G3 iBook. 12 inch Dual USB 700 MHZ With Fire Wire, and it is White. It looks almost identical to the White 1.33 ghz iBook G4 I have. (if this helps you figure out which dead G3 iBook I am talking about)
I got it on ebay for the purpose of Mac OS 9.2.2 as the primary OS and I want to boot from that OS.
The listing said that it has Mac OS 9 on it.
When I started it, it had OS X Tiger "Welcome and Setup" with no Mac OS 9 at all.
I was familiar with the Copy The Mac OS 9 System Folder(s) but I must have done that wrong. The next thing that happened was the Blinking Question Mark Of Death.
BEFORE YOU READ MORE, you might want to know my question, which is: I need a Mac OS 9 Install CD. But these are getting impossible to find, so I want to expand my search. Can I include Restore CDs that have Mac OS 9 on them? What if they are for example Power Mac G4? I have seen compatibility charts with these Restore Discs, AND I know it is not recommended, but I have purchased a Tiger Restore DVD for a G4, and the listing said it is compatible with ETC. including a Blue & White G3, a imac G3 Slot, which installed successfully. The iMac installation I can't remember but I think I installed it through Fire Wire by connecting a Desktop DVD Player to a Fire Wire Adapter (which I don't have the adapter anymore) So ... Will the wrong Mac OS 9 Restore CD absolutely not work? I can't find my Mac OS 9 Installation CD or my Mac OS 9 Restore CD (which is grey and says "iBook" on it, presumably for a Clam Shell) BUT I still have my Tiger G4 Restore DVD. Is it possible to boot from a Fire Wire DVD Drive to the ibook g3 so I can install Tiger on it? Or even to try to select a Startup Volume? And, even if I can successfully install Tiger to the dead iBook, ... How would I install Mas OS 9?
Here are the rest of the details if you need them:
Booting while pressing OPTION revealed no Startup Folder for Mac OS 9 or Tiger.
I connected a Fire Wire from the dead ibook to a 366 mhz Clam Shell with 9.2.2 and successfully loaded Target Disk Mode. Both Startup Folders for the "External" hard drive appeared. Selecting either resulted in the Blinking Question Mark Of Death.
I then deleted Mac OS 9 on the dead ibook and then recopied it. When I disconnected the Fire Wire this time, I got the other Blinking Question Mark Of Death, on a diskette with no purple folder. Pressing OPTION revealed no internal startup disk, but instead it displayed the ClamShell's startup disk!
I am not sure how "Install Mac OS 9 Drivers" work, but perhaps the person I bought it from may not have selected Install Mac OS 9 Drivers. I am not sure what they did, or how they were able to install Tiger, because this iBook only has a CD not a DVD drive. I decided to worry about Tiger later and so I erased the drive using Mac OS 9.2.2's "Erase Disk" and selected "Extended". I then copied the folders, beginning with System Folder, then Application Folder, Then Users, Then Documents,
Still connected to the Clam Shell with Target Disk Mode, I opened Startup Disk again and the Mac OS 9.2.2 appeared with the name of the "external" hard drive. This time I booted successfully from it, although it was through the Clam Shell.
I tried to boot the dead iBook, but the same Blinking Question Mark Diskette Of Death appeared.
I selected OPTION. And the name of the dead iBook's hard drive appeared.
It still displays the Blinking Question Of Death.
I have tried everything else. I have disconnected the power and the battery. There is no reset button so I tried COMMAND OPTION P R, SHIFT OPTION CONTROL POWER, and even COMMAND OPTION OPEN FIRMWARE reset-all.
I asked on another website and they suggested I just use Target Disk Mode and a cloning software to clone a hard drive to the dead ibook. The only Mac OS X that I have is still on an imac G3 which has a CRT Monitor. It has 1 GB RAM but only 400 mhz. When plugging in the imac I think the CRT Monitor Voltage zapped the ibook hard drive to oblivion. Because now the
dead ibook g3 won't appear on Target Disk Mode connected to any computer, using either OS 9 or Tiger.
I can still press OPTION which still displays an available startup volume on the internal ibook hard drive. but clicking the --> continues to do nothing except still show the Blinking Question Mark Diskette Of Death.
Am I handling the OPTION wrong? Do I need to actually click on the icon before pressing the --> ?
Should I get a Fire Wire adapter to boot the DVD? Will using the wrong Restore Disc make things even worse? Does Target Disk Mode not working anymore mean that the hard drive is zapped?

One of the first things regarding an eBay purchase that appears to be not as represented by the seller, is to contact the seller to inquire about such things which are not as they were said; since this detracts from the value of the purchase.
System discs, original software, restore discs, and official copies of the media which represents the license to have and use the OS materials on the computer hard disk drive, should be included.
{To get copies of OS 9.1/9.2, etc can be difficult, and the original gray label discs had the correct content. Some could be used, but not recommended, since certain drivers for hardware could be lacking, and other regions of error may result.}
There are a few great places online to buy a repaired, restored, &/or refurbished Apple portable computer, with a limited guaranty, from companies who repair them for a living. Without the risk of an auction seller who does not know the equipment, its real condition (or does not specify, etc) and with the buyer getting a fair value. And those would include an OS & system backup on DVD media; plus a power adapter, battery, etc.
So at this hour (2AM here) I will not address your questions; I do hope that some of the Community (of Apple users who reply to these posts) will see the iBook section and offer some tangible advice. There are at least three posts in this vintage area that have a similar theme; need software to use the computer that was just bought.
At a more reasonable hour, I may be able to look back into this.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do i use ibooks for saving my lecture notes / power point slides please?

Hi, how do I use ibooks for savng / storing my lecture notes on please? (on either a iphone or ipad). Also, can I save powerpoint slides to it too? thanks.

iBooks can only read two formats -- .epub and pdf. So you have to convert your lecture notes or powerpoints to one of those. To do that, check the Save, Export, or Share functions of whatever app you are using to create your notes.

How do I get iBook open at the bookshelf rather than one of my books?

How do I get iBook to open to the bookshelf rather than a book? I hit the iBook icon, it opens at a page in a book. How do I get to the bookshelf?

If it is opening to a book, then when you are exiting the app you are not going back to the bookshelf first. Before you click the Home button to exit the app, tap the Library button in the upper left corner of the display. That will take you back to the bookshelf so the next time you open the app it will open to the bookshelf instead of the last book you were reading.
Hope that helps!

How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

I downloaded some free iBooks. After I read them, I clicked "delete" and a dialog box said they are deleted from my computer but remain in iCloud and can be downloaded later. But I want to delete them from iCloud as well as from my computer. How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

You cannot delete them form icloud.
Icloud is a service that allows redownloading of past purchases. That is the point.

How to identify missing records in a single-column table?

How to identify missing records in a single-column table ?
Column consists of numbers in a ordered manner but the some numbers are deleted from the table in random manner and need to identify those rows.

Something like:
WITH t AS (
           SELECT 1 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
           SELECT 2 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
           SELECT 3 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
           SELECT 5 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
           SELECT 8 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
           SELECT 10 ID FROM DUAL UNION ALL
           SELECT 11 ID FROM DUAL
-- end of on-the-fly data sample
SELECT '[' || (id + 1) || ' - ' || (next_id - 1) || ']' gap
FROM (
         SELECT id,
                 lead(id,1,id + 1) over(order by id) next_id
           FROM t
where id != next_id - 1
GAP
[4 - 4]
[6 - 7]
[9 - 9]
SQL> SY.
P.S. I assume sequence lower and upper limits are always present, otherwise query needs a little adjustment.

Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? I need to persuade someone that this really is worthwhile. Mr Ignorant.

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

How can identify the default currency for a customer?

How can identify the default currency for a customer?
I know that this is being determined when you create a sales order for a particular customer, for example, so I could break this process open and find out what it uses. But I thought it worth asking in this forum first.
Blue

Hi Gary,
As per my understanding of your question I am replying , If you are looking some thing else then I request you to please elaborate your query.
If you see the BP sales area data in transaction BP, In billing tab you maintain the currency for a customer which is default currency when you create a sales order.
<b>Reward points if it helps!!</b>

How do I uninstall iBooks from my MacBook Pro?

how do I uninstall iBooks from my MacBook Pro if a message pops up saying: "iBooks app cannot be modified or deleted because its requires by OS X"???

No, you're missing the entire forest and the trees. Whatever it is you are trying to accomplish by hacking iBooks off of your system, it is not an informed decision that will benefit you in any way. To increase rather than decrease the load on iTunes by returning the book library view to it would tend to make iTunes worse, wouldn't it? Certainly, not being able to open your books there in any way can't be an improvement. If you have books that used to show up in iTunes, and that is where you want them displayed, then you have books that will be read on iBooks on iOS or OS X. If you're just shifting ePubs into some other reader on your mobile devices, you wouldn't put them into your iTunes library at all, and iBooks would be empty anyway.
And beside that, you're hosed in Yosemite with those maneuvers, so again, accomplishing absolutely nothing but scratching a very silly itch that is much worse as the rash you're creating. Did you delete the unnecessary keyboards and language files first, because that will save a lot more space. Did you cull the unnecessary kexts for your hardware? You know, things that actually do something valuable with a measurable benefit and no downside. If iBooks is such a pressure on your life that you have to get rid of it, how would you know? Do you torture yourself by opening iBooks everyday and then screaming in pain? If you can live without it installed, then you would not normally be opening it anyway, so it would have about the same affect on you as Migration Assistant or Chess, unless you deliberately sought it out.

How to identify german language in a program

Hi All,
i have one requirement. that is how to identify german language in a program.(suppose text elements, data elements are in german language our program should identify that german language). Anybody have solution for this, pls send me as soon as possible.
Thanks for all in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarjuna.

Hi Nagarjuna,
2 possible approaches:
1. Source language: Every program is initially created with source language = logon language. Sored in TRDIR-RLOAD.
2. Try to read program texts in specific language (DE).
    READ TEXTPOOL pv_repid INTO lt_textpool LANGUAGE 'D'.
    IF sy-subrc                           = 0.
      MESSAGE s000(R1)
        WITH 'German texts present in' pv_repid '' ''.
    ELSE.
Regards,
Clemens
