I have an old PowerBook G4 I installed a new hard drive how do I load in the OS

You'll need the Original system discs that came with your system when you bought it or a Upgrade DVD for a newer version of OSX that you bought and installed over the top of the original version. Either should boot the system and allow you to install that version of OS X.
But you will still need the original Applications DVD to reinstall the iLife Apps.
If you do not have them you can order a Replacement set from Apple for a small charge.
To boot the system from a DVD you can either hold down the C key when starting the system, that tells the system to boot from the DVD drive, or hold down the Option key when starting and that will bring up the Boot Menu screen where you select the DVD/DVD drive as the Boot source.

Hello,
Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
Best of luck.

TS1394 My pictures file is locked. Don't have permission to access iPhoto library after Yosemite upgrade. How do I dump the new Pictures file and restore the old?

Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 iPhoto gives me a permissions error when I try to access the photo library. When I track down the "Pictures" folders, the new "blessed" Pictures folder (with camera on the folder) is empty. The previous Pictures folder, now a generic folder named "Pictures" is found at MacHD>Users>Guest, with a no access red circle/white bar in the lower right corner. Get info tells me that "Guest" has read/write privileges, but not me, logged on with administrator password. Logging in as "Guest" does no good, the folder is no longer findable. Disk Utility Permissions repair and restart, both as Guest and with the administrator password are fruitless. I cannot alter the locked Pictures folder. Will moving the "blessed" pictures folder to the trash and restarting possibly fix this? If not, then how? Thanks.

Try holding alt or option key when starting iPhoto to choose a new Library.

I have an old powerbook g4 that is on OS 10.4.11 and want to update to a newer version of OS

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
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)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

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.

Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I have icloud and downloaded new CDs on my 2nd computer. How do I download the new music into my old computers iTunes using icloud.

For your computer first get iTunes to see it by:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- The transfer iTunes purchases
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Or redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to your compute and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
