i need to format it what should i do

After erase, there is a matter of choosing a correct Partition Map, then format the HDD.
With a PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) usually that would be the Apple Partition Map, since the
architecture is different than later Intel-based Macs, who require a 'GUID' scheme.
The next choice for the PPC-based iBook, would be to use HFS+ (journaled) for
the format type; especially with a computer that can run OS X. Older models
that can dual-boot OS X and Mac OS 9.2.2 should use this format, too.
The choice is within the Disk Utility selection(s) when booted from the Install-restore
DVD, with Installer's drop-down menus; to choose to use other features instead of
running just the Installer itself.
•About Partition Schemes in Macs:

As these older Macs go into Vintage and Obsolete, the information in Apple Support
online is a little harder to find; since focus is more toward new product configurations.
Hopefully you can restore function to the iBook portable without issue.
Good luck & happy computing!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

TS3772 I've installed Quicktime but Itunes still says I need to install it, what should I do?

Yeah I've installed Quicktime onto my laptop but when i go onto Itunes and try to watch a video it says I need to install Quicktime what do I do?

First could you confirm your Windows version, XP, vista,or 7.
Could you confirm that your Quicktime works OK and that you have the latest version.
If so you may have a variation of an old error we used to see.
It is most common on laptops that are used at work and connect to a work network but it can occur in other situations.
If this is the problem you will need to edit the %Path% variable, but we need to know if this is necessary first.
In order to check this, type
cmd
into your search box and click cmd under Programs.
For XP use the Run command to open cmd.
The black cmd window will open.
Next copy&paste the following into the cmd window and press return:
echo %path% >documents\path.txt
I think for XP it will need to be
echo %path% >"my documents\path.txt"
Unfortunately I don't have XP to check that this is correct.
If you can't get it to work, just type:
echo %path%
And the path will appear on screen and you will have to work from that, but it is easer if you can do it the other way.
The first way will place the contents of the %path% variable in a text file called Path in (My) Documents.
You will need to check that each folder in the list actually exists.
In order to save time you can copy&paste each folder in the list into the address bar of Windows Explorer. You will get an error if the folder doesn't exist.
Make a note of any that don't exist and post back. Most commonly the thing you are looking for is a network location.
If you are having trouble with this you can paste the text file into your next post and I can take a look at it.

Here's what I need... so what should I get?

OK all you experienced mini users, I waited until the intel release, and I'm ready to get my mini... only problem is, now that I've looked at all the options, I don't know which one to buy. So I'm opening it up to you all, hoping that you can advise me a little.
Here's what I want to do with my mini:
1. I don't play games, and I'm not looking to play them in the future.
2. I use mail, safari/firefox, office, iLife, endnote, photoshop (rarely, and nothing too serious), etc.
3. I've got most of my media (mp3s and video) on a large usb2 external drive. So internal HD doesn't have to be huge.
4. I want to minimize the clutter on my desk, so airport is a must.
5. I like the idea of the BT keyboard, but the reviews worry me a bit, and I think I'll end up with a mighty mouse.
6. I'll use the mini for the next two or three years, and then it will become a mp3 server on my home network or perhaps a dedicated web server for my small personal website.
7. I want a superdrive for backup and home movies.
8. I might take advantage of an audio input to burn my LP collection, but this is a very minor concern.
With that in mind, what do you think I should be looking for?
-Dual core?
-Single core upgraded with SD?
-1.42/1.5 PPC?
Right now, I'm sort of leaning towards the single core... for the price, even with the SD upgrade, I'm not convinced that I'd be significantly happier with the Core Duo.
I currently use a pre-MDD G&W G4 Power Mac (~466, 512MB RAM) and a 15" G4 PB. The desktop is about shot, but I'll continue to use the PB on campus for the next year, until I upgrade to a macbook.
I just want a small, reliable desktop mac that I can use in my home office for writing my thesis, reports, etc. and keeping my iLife media together.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
15" PB G4 550mhz, 512mb Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I would concur. But, I'd even push for the Core Solo, if price is a real issue for you.
On the keyboard/mouse question, I use the Apple Wireless Keyboard and really like it. (It doesn't have the top plastic cover like other Apple keyboards, so you can really vacuum it out well.) If an ethernet cable is more clutter than you want, the extra cables for the keyboard and mouse will be significant. FWIW, I bought the BlueTake BT500 Bluetooth mouse. It's really tiny, and uses up batteries like they're going out of style (but I use rechargables), but otherwise, it's very nice and since it's so small it reduces wrist fatigue.

What should i do if my iPod is stuck on the apple and doesn't need a update

My iPod all of a sudden blacked out now it's stuck on the apple sign, i tried plugging it in to iTunes but it says it does'nt need an update. What should i do to fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You usually get this error if you try to install an extension that needs to be unpacked to work properly.<br />
Current Firefox version do not unpack an extension automatically, but rename the xpi file to the extension's GUID.
An extension that needs to be unpacked should have an unpack flag in its install.rdf file
<pre><nowiki><em:unpack>true</em:unpack></nowiki></pre>
*https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking
You can try to set the extensions.alwaysUnpack pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page.
The extension seems to install, but I haven't tested if it works.

My iPod nano needs to be format, but it doesn't format using fat 32. And it says that it is corrupted. What should I do?

My iPod nano needs to be format, but it doesn't format using fat 32. And it says that it is corrupted. What should I do?
As I connect it to itunes, it shows that it needs to be format. When I try to format it (fat32) it doesn't finish. And it says, the ipod appears to be corrupted.

similar to what is happening to me....the difference is, after restoring itunes detect ipod and ask to restore again and again....
I know it may look kinda stupid but: just leave the ipod there for about 2 minutes, that's about the time my itunes is taking to detect my ipod...if it doesn't work, try connecting ur ipod to other computer with itunes (no need to sync, just to check if itunes will recognize) to check if the problem is with the ipod or with the itunes and/or computer.

IMovie 09 has trouble importing large video files from my JVC HD-40. I am trying to edit files such as these in 09. What should I do? Would buying iMovie 2011 help? I am shooting AVCHD files instead of the other mpeg2 file format.

Hi,
I am new into the Apple Community. I have a camcorder known as the JVC GZ-HD40 US and I currently am trying to use iMovie 2009 to edit my movies. With my camcorder, I have the choice to use two different video formats: AVCHD or Mpeg2. All my videos are shot in the AVCHD (HD) file format. This camcorder also has a 120 G Hard Drive built into it. When I plug in the camcorder through USB to my MacPro, the Hard Drive of the camcorder shows up as a icon on the desktop. Many of my video clips are at least thirty minutes in length, inside the camcorder. When I try to import in iMovie my video files, it only imports around ten minutes of the video and skips to the end of the clip. I would greatly prefer to use my MacPro desktop to edit movies instead of my Windows 7 computer which seems to work fine. Is there a solution to this problem? Would the new iMovie 2011 application solve this problem? I also have the Final Cut Express to work with, and also, can't get it to work. What should I try doing?

Hi all,
I have the exact same problem. I've just been to Thailand with my girlfriend, and we recorded a lot of stuff with my brand new Sony HD camcorder. And whenever the we ran out of camcorder memory we just emptied everything onto my HP laptop using the supplied Sony software, which produced m2ts files. When we got home, I realized that my Mac Pro/iMovie09 was not able to import this format. What a huge disappointment! Especially considering the fact that I just bought my mac back in March (my first mac ever) only for video editing and music composing (no problems with music composing, however!).
Well, I needed a solution, so last week I just bought the Voltaic HD converting software (35$), and it works great. No problems. Only thing is that my Mac Pro (quad intel core) had to work 24 hours a day for four straight days/nights in order to finish the converting job - resulting in 434 GB worth of mov-files. This is no problem as such, and the quality is great. BUT it seems rather stupid that this converting has to take place. If I use Sony Vegas on my PC, it works out of the box with my original m2ts-files. And I would really appreciate if Apple would implement a simple import function of m2ts-files in their software - one that would (if necessary) automatically convert the files to mov. Or even better: would work natively with the m2ts-files.
Best,

I was sent a .pages doc. When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?

I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x? If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1. Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1. 5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format. Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents. Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.

HT3775 Hi, my mac which is on 10.7.5 osx. but when ever i insert any mpeg/avi video cd it shows the file format not recognized. i am fed up of this. plz somebody help me. what should i do now.

hi,
i am using 10.7.5 lion there are a lot of problems in this OS.
like most of the programs quit's unexpectedly. some programs does not work on it. like adobe cs5 is not working. everytime time when i do click on adobe cs 5 icon it shows a message "To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open “Adobe Photoshop CS5” again" while i always remain connected on the net.
2. when ever i insert an avi or mpeg video disk it shows the file format not recognized. to **** with this macbook pro n its 10.7.5 lion. the same disk works/runs on windows on windows systems.
plz somebody help me what should i do now.
[email protected]

it sounds like a fualty installation of Lion, this may happen from time to time.
The best thing to do in this situation is to reinstall Lion. You will not loose anything doing this, but you should always keep back ups of your information.
http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
basically hold Cmd+R on boot..
first go to disk utility, verify and repair your disks and permissions. Exit out of Disk utility and then go directly to "reinstall Lion"
choose that and let it reinstall.
Adobe CS6 does need Java to run.
To play your movies you might need to get an application called VLC. VLC is a free app and will play most videos and music files you throw into it.

you have a 64bit intel mac, so get the one for that.

How to deal with file dir? what format of dir should be?

Hi Kamlesh,
Thanks for your response.
Actually, In the "Process External Bank Statement" window, i see that there are few entries which is for the previous year and which has not been reconciled. I have never worked practically on BRS and hence, i am scared to make any changes in the clients database without being confident on what i am doing. I need to reconcile for one of their Bank a/c for the month of April '08. I have the copy of the statements for the month ending 31st Mar 08 and 30th Apr 08. The closing balances are as below:
31/03/08 - 2300000.00
30/04/08 - 3100000.00
Now my OB for Bank a/c for April '08 in SAP is 2300000.00 Dr.
When i go to External Bank Reconciliation - Selection Criteria Screen (Manual Reconciliation), here are the detail that i enter:
Last Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000 (Grayed out by the system)
Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000 (Entered by me)
End Date: 30/04/08 (Entered by me)
"Reconciliation Bank Statement" Screen opens up and shows the below balances in the screen:
Cleared Book Balance: INR -7,000,000.00000
Statement Ending Balance: INR -3,100,000.00000
Difference: INR 3,800,000.00000
As per the Bank statement, i have found all the transactions listed out here for the month of Apr '08 but, i also found that the open transactions for the previous month from April '08 have been lying in "Process External Bank Statement" window.
Could you please help me solve my issue as to what needs to be done or could you also get me some links from where i can get few documents for processing External Bank Reconciliations?
That will be of a great help for me. I need steps as to what needs to be done first and then the next so that i can arrive at the correct closing balance for the month April '08.
Thanks in Advance....
Regards,
Kaushal
