I have a apple ibook G4 and it will not let me download nothing what can i do about this

My Ibook G4 will not let me download nothing

Could you describe the applications, programs, items, or content it won't download?
Given you state the iBook G4 with OS X 10.4.11 Tiger installed, is a dated and obsoleted system, the newest OS X version it could use would be from a retail Leopard OS X 10.5 DVD, then updated with a download file to 10.5.8 from Software Updates. With that (the highest version of OS X any PowerPC based G3/G4/G5 can run) a few more options are available, given support for that newer system (now also not actively upgraded) was from a more recent era and a few browsers, a later but not new Flash plugin, and a few items are still available.
You can get a few later browsers that will work OK in OS X 10.4.11, one is TenFourFox, based on FireFox from Mozilla code; another is iCab, works free -- but asks you to buy license. Others for older PowerPC Macs seem to only support Leopard 10.5.8, such as SeaMonkeyPPC. The coding behind these is different so the people who volunteered to rebuild workable browsers have tried to ecomomize, yet still help us older system and hardware users be able to go online. These browser builds may have limits online, as the web has newer content and some items may not work in the older code. But they do OK. I use the above browsers, as the Safari browser is not supported and sees no later security updates. I have it too.
If you are trying to get a later OS X system, you could only get & use Leopard 10.5(.8) in retail DVD, perhaps from Apple Sales Support for a fee, if available; as a replacement or upgrade. Or look online for retail and not computer-specific install discs; as those grey label discs from other computers won't work in a different series.
You may be able to find a fair value in a previously owned older MacBook, some companies offer them repaired and running, with a limited guaranty of a sort. See OWC online for used computers, or a company such as wegenermedia, who repairs computers, has parts, and some inventory online. Or if you want a later model and are in the market, the Apple special deals page for refurbished models can be found from the online Store page, in the US.
Hopefully you can find what you need.
Good luck & happy computing!

My ipod touch 5th gen camera keeps on crashing. I can't use it properly because before I can click on the camera button, the screen will go dark and then will go back to home. What can I do about this?

so I've been using my ipod touch for three months already. Then I noticed that the more I use my camera, which is not very often, I only use it to snapshot wonderful events in my life, the more "crashing" becomes often in my ipod. There are several times that I will repeatedly click my camera button just to open it as it keeps on crashing. my software is up to date, iOS 6.1.3 and I thought that updating it and restarting it will do the trick. Also, the panorama feature of my camera is kind of defective, It's very dark and the images keep in getting ragged on edges. Like it's been cut with sheers or any sharp material. What can I do about this? Is there any way for me to get this fixed?

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

I turned my Ipad off and when I tried to turn it back on, only the apple displays and it will not go past that. What can I do to get it to come back on? It won't acknowledge it when I plug it in either.

You need to make sure your billing address is correct whether or not you use an iTunes gift card or not.

HT201413 I do not have an apple product, but I do have Itunes on my computer, and it will not let me play my downloaded music-error message computer needs registered, and it is. Can you help me?

I have had iTunes on my computer, which is not an apple poducts for about 6 or 7yrs now, just recently it will not let me play the music I have downloaded. I get a error message stating this computer is not registered. So I put in the information to register it, and it tells me that this computer is already registered. But I still can't play my music, the error message just keeps popping up. Can anyone help me?

Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.

I bought a new macbook pro and iTunes will not let me purchase anything. All computers unregistered. This computer is registered. Cannot purchase anything using my apple id and my apple id works because i buy things on my i phone. What is the problem

I bought a new macbook pro and now every time i try to buy anything with my apple id it doesn't go through. I tried Ibooks and iTunes but neither one will work. I have registered this computer and even tried unregistering all the other computers but that did not do anything. I also checked my form of payment and that is not the problem either because i have no problems what so ever buying anything on my iPhone or my desktop computer.
It is just this computer.
I try to buy something and something pops up and says... "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-45054). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
And i have been trying later for 2days now.

Have you tried repairing disk permissions : iTunes download error -45054

Please advise.
