i need help upgrading my ibook and i cant figure it out.

A PPC G4 Mac can't be upgraded beyond Leopard 10.5.8 as all later versions of OS X require an Intel based mac.

    I have an iBook G4 with 10.4.11 OS.  Can I upgrade this to 10.5?

    Maybe, if it meets the requirements below.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

    Once you get a complete iTunes folder on the external drive, start iTunes with the option/alt key held down and select the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.  You will also need to do this with your main computer or the libraries will become unsynchronized.
    Alternatively you can make a separate library using the same media on the second computer. Start as you have been doing, let iTunes create a new, blank library file which will be on hte internal drive, set the media folder location in preferences to be the one on the external drive, then add the files to the new iTunes library. Unless you are a super-organized individual, or you don't care if your libraries do not have the same content, you are better off using a single library file that is on the external, not setting up separate library files.

  • HT1338 I have iphoto '09 but want to buy iphoto '11, I can't upgrade and the app store will not let me buy it saying I already have it?

    Can someone help me? I want to be able to use the stream option from my iphone

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Before purchasing iPhoto '11, you have to uninstall iPhoto '09. Open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar and delete iPhoto, emptying Trash. Then, open App Store and purchase iPhoto '11. Before opening iPhoto '11, I recommend you to create a backup of your iPhoto library (on Pictures folder) on another folder

  • I have Mac OS 9 on a flash drive. How can I transfer it to an OS X computer?

    Do I just drag the System Folder over? I don't want to partition the hard drive, though.

    Yes, just drag it over - no cloning required with OS 9.
    However - do not expect your iBook G4 to be able to boot to that copied OS 9. All iBook G4 models can not boot to any version of OS 9.
    Provided that the OS 9 system folder is for OS 9.2, 9.2.1, or 9.2.2 and is a complete OS 9 System Folder (that is, was bootable on the original machine it came from), it should work fine as Classic under OS X 10.4.x.
    If the OS 9 System Folder is one originally copied from an OS 9 Install CD, it will not work as Classic.

  • I have bought Photo Shop Elements some time back . How can I upgrade it with new photo editing software of Adobe ?

    Howto upgrade the photoshop Element photo editing software of Adobe

    I've never used the Elements side of Photoshop. I've always used Photoshop full version and Lightroom. But from what I read it has a cataloging/viewer and you can make different catalogs and or collections with it ( a catalog and or collection is a collection of images which can be all in one folder or many different folders at the same time or both combined) and that it has the basic to slightly advanced editing functions. Not sure about levels and curves but I would think so. Although it may not have the layers functions like in the full Photoshop.
    You can download a Demo of lightroom and use it for 30 days. you just have to deal with the startup screen thatasks Continue Demo or Buy Lighroom. Other then that it is funlly functional.
    Depending on whether you do mostly JPG or RAW images the one thing I like about Lightroom is it can edit either JPGs or many different RAW formats without really touching, editing, the original image file. So that is always your Negative, in old Film Speak.
    As VilleFromFinland says it really is about how you manage your images. But with iPhoto it wants to Manage them for you. Where they are stored and how you interact with them. Personally I rather put them where and how I want them then have a program that can view edit them.
    Good Luck & Best Wishes.

    There is no download for 10.4.x or 10.5.x, there is a very slim chance you can get 10.5 by calling Apple, but usually you can only get it on eBay & such.
