I have just got an old ibook 4g and i want to know what os system i can run on it please

i have just got an old refurbed ibook 4g and was wondering if anyone out there would know what os system i can run on it pleased

Hello,
Depends on which version of the iBook G4 you own. If it greater than the 800Mhz model then you could install Mac OS X 10.5 (leopard) Otherwise it would be Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
There are alterative PPC versions of Linux like Ubuntu that could also be installed as an OS
Best of Luck

  • Hi i just got a new mac pro and i wanted to know how to transfer all my music from my old desktop to my new mac?

    hi i just bought the macbook pro and i wanted to know how i can transfer all my music on itunes from my old desktop to my new macbook?

    Derek's right. To explain his second point more, you can mount your old Mac's hard drive on your new one and once you've done this you can simply drag your music folder over.
    You can mount various ways, if you have a router and both are on your LAN network I believe u use the Go menu in your new Mac to mount your old one.
    You can also use a cable directly between the two. I did this years agonwith ethernet but I bet USB or even FireWire is possible.
    Once you get your music copied over, you may need to add your music into your Mac's iTunes.
    Open iTunes and then select Add to Library and then find your music folder to add. You can add single songs or folders of songs or your entire folder of all songs.

  • Hi I just got an ibook 4g!! was wondering if anyone knows what ios system I can run on it

    Hi I just got an ibook 4g and was wondering what system I can use on it

    Hello,
    It depends on the specifications of the iBook in question.
    If its bellow 867 Mhz processor speed then you can install Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
    Anything above up to 1.4ghz will allow you to install Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    Alternately you could install Linux for PPC Mac
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Android is a very safe operating system and apps only have access to what you give them access to so when you install them it will say before it installs what it needs access to.
    To remove unwanted apps on your home screen if you just hold down on the icon it should vibrate and you should see a rubbish can at the top of your screen, just drag the icon over to the bin and it will be removed (from your home screen only)
    As for security, as  mentioned you can download lookout but if your phone is from EE it may already be installed so you should check. More details here: http://ee.co.uk/help/add-ons-benefits-and-plans/insurance/insurance-and-protection/lookout
    I would add I have always used Lookout and I have their full package.
    Any further questions then let us know.
    Thanks,

  • I have the mac laptop ibook g4,and i wanted to know what music downloader can i download to get free music besides having to use itunes?

    I have the ibook g4 laptop! what music downloader can i download to get free music?,so i want have to use itunes.

    Given the OS X versions last supported by the old PowerPC based G4/G5 computers, there are a few players that work with music sites for OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8. I have not researched these, and many of the web sites that promise a free player or access to free music offer 'adware' laden questionable products, no matter what OS X version a Mac could run.
    For just music, the Radio player in the iTunes application can give you several choices of music types, to include fairly recent songs. This will use bandwidth and there likely is no native way in the computer to capture the audio; and without a legal source, a question arises concerning illegal filesharing and the like, which is not a topic friendly to these discussions.
    However there some great music channels in the Radio portion of iTunes player that do not require the store to listen to them; these are streamed from servers and you may be able to locate other streaminsg sources and add them to the iTunes Radio player.
    There were some shareware or limited use utilities that could record any sounds in your Mac, including beeps, clicks and keyboard sounds. And any noises from web pages, etc. And save them. But some time has passed since I had anything like that. It was like a built-in recorder, and with a Mac microphone, even more so.
    However anything software involves the limitations of your computer hardware's upper limit in OS X version. And be wary of sites with several download links that say free or download, since softonic genieo and others can install adware and other hard to remove ailment prone background software in your mac along with their promised product; and their 'uninstaller' also will add hard to remove background stuff in your mac. So does mackeeper and cleanmypc kinds of stuff. Avoid installing these along with hoped-for great promises.
    Sorry to not be of much help, however anything that may
    contribute to illegal file sharing is a void issue here...
    Good luck & happy computing!

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Full Details Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
    Also... Have a look at these 2 Videos...

  • I have just got an ipad mini 2 and i am trying to back it up however it gets to step 4 then keeps saying syncing ipad but now wont change, what shall i do?

    i have just got an ipad mini 2 and i am trying to back it up however it gets to step 4 then keeps saying syncing ipad but now wont change, what shall i do?

    Hi Gavinchick,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Start with these tips if your iPad mini is stuck on "syncing" when you try to back it up:
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
    Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
    If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
    If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
    Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
    Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
    Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
