I pod and Mac Os X 10.4.8 problems

As I am sure this question has been answered many, many times i apolgise in advance - but i cant seem to find it anywhere.
I have just bought an ipod classic 80gb - this is my 4th ipod so i was expecting no problems running it off my ibook G4 - but when i plugged it all in to update - i was told i need to download 10.4.8 mac os x - here is my problem arose.
I currently have 10.3.9 and need to buy tiger - have spoken to apple support and an apple store and both of them said that i would need to buy it from another stockist such as PC World - when looking on amazon it is around 70 - 80 pounds for this which i really cant afford.
Does anyone know of any solution - or where to buy it cheap? I was hoping i would take it in to an apple store and they would sort it - Just a bit annoyed at myself for not realising that it wouldnt work -
Thanks in advance

Also you can join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap
After you join, post a WTB (want to buy) & you'll probably get multiple offers.
Tiger comes on a DVD (do you have a DVD reader disk?), however, you can also buy on CDs

Be sure to get a retail version (black with silver X). Don't buy a Mac specific/restore version (gray).

Adobe Reader 9 and MAC 10.5 xml data submit problem

I have an issue that only happens when using Adobe Reader 9 and Mac OSX 10.5.
When submitting a form from within a PDF, the FDF that gets sent is completely blank.
Tested on Mac OSX 10.4 with Adobe Reader 9 - no issue
Tested on Mac OSX 10.5 with Adobe Reader 8 - no issue
Tested on Mac OSC 10.5 with Adobe Professional 8 - no issue
It only seems to be a combination of OSX 10.5 and Reader 9. Does anyone have any clue about the settings of these two and what might be happening?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

We have encountered the same problem with Mac OSX 10.5 and Reader 9 when submitting a form as PDF. Form is certified and reader extended, working great on Windows machine.
Seems like a bug..

HP OfficeJet 4500 and MAC OSX 10.6.8 installation problem

I've recently bought a HP OfficeJet 4500 and I'm having problems with the Macintosh installation.
I'm on Intel Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I connected the printer to my iMac by using the USB cable.
The CD included with the printer is not readable, so I had to download the driver (OJ4500vG510a-f_Mac.dmg) from the HP website.
When I run the installer, the application is not able to recognize the device so no model is displayed in the list; then, I choose to continue the installation without specifying the model but when I have to do the configuration the installer is not able to find the correct device and so the setup procedure fails.
What I want is to use the printer wireless, so I think I should perform the configuration procedure and to specify that I want to use the Wi-Fi connection but I never reach this step because installer fails before.
I have to say that I successfully installed this printer on Windows XP and Windows 7 by downloading the drivers from the HP website and installing them without problems, but I'm not able to do the same thing with my Mac.
Can you help me, please?
What I have to do to get my printer work with my mac?

Hi,
I got the impression you are using the wrong software for your printer.
In order to get aligned, there are 3 sub models of the 4500 series:
HP Officejet 4500 Desktop (G510a) - Provide USB connectivity only. - The driver posted above intended for this model.
HP Officejet 4500 (G510g) - provide USB and Wired ethernet network connection
HP Officejet 4500 Wireless (G510n) - Provide USB and Wireless network connection,
As you mentioned the printer connected to the network, therefore I doubt if the correct driver has been used.
Above you may find a direct download link for both of the models
Simply click the model which identical to the one listed on the front of the printer,
Regards,
Shlomi

IMovie 3.0.3 and Mac 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) problem

I have been using Imovie for some years now and today was the first time I have gone into this software since we upgraded to Snow leopard. I have a brand new video on my digital camera I want to import. (Something I have done many times before) When I open Imovie it automatically opens in an existing project which I clearly do not want to import into.
So I click on File and New Project. There must be a bug because at this point I get a white drop down box with one clickable button (cancel) and one slightly faded non clickable button (Open). I have also tried creating a new folder in Finder then going through Imovie and asking it to open recent in the hope it will give me this new blank folder into which I can import my video, but this gives me either the same white box, or half a screen of white box then the directories to chose from below. Here I am able to select the new folder I have created in Finder but because the top of the screen is white, the rest of the directories and clickable buttons are not reachable so I cannot accept this choice by select “Open”.....
I do not want to import into another project because the clips all get muddled up and numbered around any clips I have not used in the old project ..... I simply want to open a new project, but this no longer seems to be an option.
Please can you advise?

I asked that question for you here, where David Babsky states that he has used a version of iMovie 2 with SL:

I have iPad2 and original iPad. After upgrade to iOS5 neither will connect to wifi network. Network is working as I have connectivity with iPhone and Mac Airbook. What's the problem?

I have downloaded iOS 5 to both iPad 2 and original iPad. I cannot get wifi to work on either. It's not my wifi as I have connectivity with other devices, just not with the iPad. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. The iPad has never roamed particularly well between access points, but under IOS6 it doesn't seem to roam at all, it simply sticks with the access point it first connected with.
I don't have a solution for you, unfortunately.

USB compatible with Windows 7 and Mac OS X

Hi everyone.
I bought myself today a Datatraveler 32GB usb stick from Kingston. I do some computer fixing in my spare time.
I want to put my personal tools on this stick. So when I go to people who have Windows I take the usb stick with me and I have all my tools on it. On the other side, when I go to people with a Mac, the usb stick has to be compatible with that too. So I thought, when I make 2 partitions on it and I format the first one with Mac OS X extented and the second with NTFS, then I got a usb stick that is compatible with both OSes. But when I format this in Disk Utility my Windows PC doesn't recognize the stick as compatible.

Hi Joel,
just as an idea: why not use FAT32 as file system ?
It's compatible with both Windows 7 and Mac OSX.
For your immenent problem:
You have to use MBR (Master Boot Record) as partition scheme on the stick, then Windows 7 can format its partition with NTFS and OSX can format with MacOS Extended (Journaled) on its designated partition.
Be aware of some stories that using MacOS Extended file system on an MBR partitioned drive/stick might lead to 'deteriorating' problems later on.
Personally I use FAT32 for my USB-Sticks without any problems going back and forth between Windows and Mac OSX.
Regards
Stefan

You can
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
You can have apps purchased from more than one account. It does complicate update apps though.
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I'm getting a new iPod touch 4G to replace my old 1st gen. pod. How do I get iTunes to get rid of my old iPod and recognize the new iPod and can I sych the new pod and get all of the content on it from my old pod?

Hi-
Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work? When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod? Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS. Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet. Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard. What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
Thanks-
DMitz

The 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store. Price is $129.
For 4G specs:
System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10.1 or later6
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.

I want to chang all the music on my i pod and it will not let me. how do I do it? and most of the music on my i pod I do not have no more and I can not take it off. how do I take it off?

I want to chang the music on my i pod and most of the music i do not have no more that is on my ipod, how do I chang it?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can't Get MacBook Pro and Mac Pro to Network

I have a MacBook Pro (2008 - 2.5 Ghz. Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) that I have been connecting to my Mac Pro (2005 - 2 2.66 Ghz Xeon with 20 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) through an Ethernet switch on my school's network. This has worked without a hitch for years, but when I upgraded to 10.6.7 recently, the MacBook and Mac Pro fail to network. On the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro's icon doesn't show in the shared area, and on the Mac Pro, I can see the icon for the MacBook Pro, but when I click on the icon to connect, I get the message that "Connection Failed There was an error connecting to the server (name of my MacBook Pro). Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have tried a direct connect using the "Connect to Server" under the Go menu on both machines, using their IP addresses, but no luck. Is there something I need to re-set to get these two to talk again? I have other Macs on the same network that my MacBook and my Mac Pro can see, and both machines can connect to them. They just can't connect to each other.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have on how to fix this.

I fixed the problem by re-setting the default values for my VirusBarrier X6 anti-virus program.

Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

Airplay mirroring.
Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
Any help appreciated.

Hi!
I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.
