I am purchasing an iMac G3. I know that it is running on OS 8.6. I have found the old Mac OS X Jaguar (10.2), if I purchase the software, will I need any more requirements?

I will be purchasing an iMac G3 this week. I already know that it is currently running on OS 8.6. I found the old OS X Jaguar (10.2), I was wondering can I just install the discs, or do I need any more requirements?? Please help me.

The market value of those old iMacs is very low now, so I hope that you aren't paying any more than $30 for one. What model are you purchasing - the original with a tray-loading optical drive or the newer style with a slot-loading drive? If the latter, which model (processor speed) is it? You shouldn't buy one manufactured before built-in FireWire became standard, because you'll want a faster bus for external peripherals. The built-in USB ports are limited to USB 1.1 speed, which is quite slow for an external CD/DVD burner or hard drive. Before installing OS X, a tray-loading iMac should have firmware version 1.2 and a slot-loading iMac should have version 4.1.9. Additionally, the iMac should have adequate available storage capacity on the hard drive, as well as adequate installed memory. The OS 10.2.x (Jaguar) installer disk should be a retail (universal installer) disk, and not another Mac's Restore disk. One other point to mention concerns the hours of useage that the iMac has had. High-mileage iMacs often have problems with the P-A-V (Power/Analog/Video) board failing, which renders the computer useless. Replacement is a job for an experienced tech, because of the high-voltage shock hazard involved. Additionally, new P-A-V boards aren't available and used ones have questionable remaining service life. Just keep this in mind.

When I open my itunes it freezes and asks me to downlaod the newest version. I always check the "dont ask me again" box and it always ASKS ME AGAIN. I dont need any more duplicates in my library so how do I stop this feature from popping up?

Im tired of this feature popping up everytime I open itunes. I alwasy check the box that say dont ask again, and it cointinually pops up. I dont want to download new version of itunes so how do I stop this?

Thanks for the reply! Ill try to change the preferences as you mentioned. However, everytime Ive ugraded my itunes it adds duplicates to my library, which I then have to delete (if I have time to waste). With 10,000 songs this gets very annoying as Im sure you can imagine. Im also know that there are even software programs to delete duplicates from itunes libraries as seen here: http://www.tucows.com/preview/507304
I do thank you for your answer and apprciate the help.
Cheers~

Every time I right-click an image in Firefox 3.6.12 to view image size info it says "Unknown (not cached)". Any ideas on why this could be happening and how I can stop it? My OS is Ubuntu 10.10. If you need any more info let me know.

Since two days my MSN messenger service will not launch any more

Since two days my MSN messenger service will not launch any more saying that I am either not connected to the internet or that the service is unavailable. Neither is the case as I can access my hotmail directly via the web. What can be causing this all of a sudden and how to rectify it? What am I missing.

Sounds like you need a hardware repair. Contact Apple using expresslane.apple.com if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

Nobody here knows. We are all just users like yourself. You just have to periodically check Apple's site.

Can vmware player be used to create windows pc and mac. Will I need any other software or hardware to do that?(Have Windows and Mac on same computer)

Since you posted this in the iPod Touch forum and didn't provide enough information to contradict that I am going to say the it can't be done. VMWare does work in iPods.

Need to re-install Creative Suite 6 on a re-built MacBook Pro: I have the DesignStandard_CS6_LS16.dmg from initial download, do I simply double-click on the dmg to install? Will I need any keycodes?

Caseycork92 you double click the DMG to mount the disk image. You will also need to enter your serial number for Creative Suite 6 for Macintosh.

HT1752 I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

HT1918 I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?

I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play. Any suggestions?

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

When I attempt to open iphoto, I get the loading icon in the working space/picture area. If I try to reinstall ilife '11, will I lose any pictures? Where, on the hard drive, are all my pictures actually stored?

You won't lose anything because you have a back up, right?
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Welcome to the Apple community.
So long as you are logged into the iTunes Store, using the correct ID and password (settings >store), then you will always have access to your apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc bought via the iTunes Store on that account.
