I have a six year oldG4 laptop which will not support the latest free Adobe flashdrive. Can I upgrade to the latest OS X?
I have a G4 iBook which cannot support/download the new Adobe Flash update. Can I upgrade to the latest OSX?
Can I upgrade to the latest OSX?
No. It may possibly run leopard OS 10.5 but that would be as far as you can take a PPC Mac.
As regards Flash Player:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

I have tried 3 official apple ones and 2 different plugs. Ive tried plugging it into my laptop but will not find the phone. it has had problems since i updated my ios. Battery has been replaced. Any suggestions would be fantastic
test if it charges with an ac charger
test if it's detected by another computer
if it's no to both then likely the connector is broken
if it's yes to both thne it's likely your computers itunes install which is the problem -
After installing an SSD into my optical bay, I've found out I need EFI Firmware Update 2.2. I can only find 2.3 which is not supported on my Mac. What can I do?
You do not want EFI 2.2, it bricked many 2011 MacBook Pro machines.
EFI 2.3 is the fix. Software Update should install it if you need it, but it goes to the boot drive as that's where the hidden EFI resides.
Check out this link of machines and their EFI versions
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Also if your SSD should be in the hard drive bay as it makes a better boot/applicaitions drive, not a good storage drive as it wears out with repeated use and is not "scrubbable" like a regular hard drive
The hard drive should be in the optical bay and used as a storage drive, you have things all messed up inside your machine, Apple doesn't support or expect the optical drive to be used as such to begin with, then as a boot drive is just asking for trouble. So use the optical bay as storage and not as a boot bay.
Also you can't install OS X or Windows or use a Firmware restore disk because it only works from a internal optical drive, which you have removed.
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2213
You need to learn all about cloning etc., as you have no other means to boot the machine.

I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see. The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video. What can I do to be able to get these videos? I have all ready download Adobe Flash Player and installed it but it has not effect.
Get Flip4Mac (for Windows Media videos):

I have MacBook Pro. I have my iPhoto library on external hard drive only. It has 30,000 photos on it. I have bought a 2nd external hard drive and would like to copy my iPhoto library onto it as a back up. I tried plugging both in and dragging the iPhoto library into the 2nd external harddrive. It looked as though it was working as it said 20 hours, however I then got a message box saying FiNader could not complete the task due to incompatible files. How do I do this please.

Yes, you should format the HD.
A Mac can natively write to a NTSF drive and that is what most drives com formatted with.
You should use the Mac journaled format.
Once again you are posting incorrect information
Until we know what format the drive is it is impossible to state that it must be formatted - that is just a guess
And a Mac can not Natively write to an NTSF drive - it can natively read it but can not write to it with special software
And since formatting a drive erases it it is critical to tell users not to format until they have a positively known good backup
The TOU for these forum state that you should test your answers prior to posting them -- you obviously are not doing that and you advice is endangering users photos - please only post tested answers

Have new Nikon 5500 and photo elements will not support this camera
Had an Olympus E620 and Photo Elements 13 accepted my raw photos. Now have a new Nikon 5500 DLSR and Photo Elements will not accept my raw photos. When will they add the Nkon 5500 to their program? I am disappointed with Photo Elements for this. Have been a Photo Elements user for 12 years. !@
The D5500 was only announced 2 months ago but support has been included in Camera raw 8.8 which was released last week - see following
Camera Raw 8.8 now available
Unfortuantely, the update for Photoshop Elements 13 has not yet been released but it shouldn't be too long.
In the meantime, you could download the DNG converter (see document) and use that.

I have just purchased a iPhone 4S outright and I backed it up through iTunes from a previous backup of my 3GS. I have deleted that previous back up and now when I connect this 4S to iTunes to sync, it sits in Backing Up "Julie's IPhone" with the candy stripes, it will not proceed further. Even when I try to restore (with back up) it sits in this. I have to keep disconnecting and trying again. Please help, this is driving me insane!!!
yes everything that should be on is enabled.

My purchased songs aren't lost the computer is not giving the option to put the newly purchased music into the ipod.
How do you do what? Plug the iPhone into a USB port directly on your computer, or disconnect other USB devices? To disconnect a USB device unplug it from the computer. If it is a disk drive eject it first using the Eject icon in the System Tray. To plug the iPhone into a USB port directly on the computer insert the USB end of the sync cable into a USB port on the computer.
If you are using all of the ports on your computer get a hub and plug low power devices into the hub (e.g., keyboard, mouse). Or get a hub with its own power supply and plug your high power devices (disk drives, DVD drive) into it. -
I just uploaded firefox 5.0, which does not support the top sites feature I've used so happily. Is there a similar add on that does work with 5.0? I feel like I'm blind!
The author of the Fox Tab extension has released version 1.4.3 which does, in fact, work with Firefox 5. It hasn't been formally reviewed yet, which is why you don't see it in the extension gallery by default. To get to it, click below:
