I realize now why I received no replies to my question on 10.3.9...
Apparently my question was completely moronic! People on other forums have just told me that --duh-- all I need to do is add some RAM and upgrade the OS to Tiger or Leopard.
I have been told for years by someone who should know better that I am stuck with this old operating system and that there is no way to add memory to the laptop. So for those who viewed my original post, I'm sorry to waste your time.
Cheers.
Hello,
"Apparently my question was completely moronic!"
Oh no... don't go there. There's more to upgrading to a new Mac OS X then just upgrading RAM.
First, make sure your PowerbookG4 meets the minimum requirements for installing Leopard.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/
One important thing to remember is that Leopard requires 9GB of drive space. Make sure you have sufficient drive space before installing any software. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
Make sure there are no errors on the disk. Restart your Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your restore disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.

According to your previous post where you posted the PBook profile, you have 512MB of RAM installed. I think that is expandable to at the very least 1GB of RAM. Why can't you upgrade the memory? Go here for upgrading and installing memory. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95132 If you aren't comfortable doing this, take the PB to an Apple store and or an Apple reseller. http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/
Your "terminology" is just fine.

What's an effective method for getting replies to your questions?
Hey guys so hopefully I get a response to this cause recently this has been bugging me a lot.
I've been making topics on here over a period of about a year or so and almost none of them i've been getting replies and I know most of these questions are problems that i Know professionals like yourselves can answer. So my question is what am I doing wrong? Is it that no one knows? Am I too vague or too specific? Is it cause I made it confusing? Let me know if you can. Thanks a lot!!
If you want a sample of what I mean, here's a couple links if you need one to give me a good answer:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2451877&tstart=0In your sample post you write:
it says "Attempting to copy the disk "Ipod" failed. You do not have the privilages to make the chanages."
Then right behind it it says "The ipod cannot by synced. You do not have enough privilages for this opperation"
Now i've read up on this already on many sites...
Potential respondents are more likely to also read up on the problem if you quote the error messages accurately — then they can do a quick copy & paste into Google. But with "privileges" misspelt twice and "be", "changes" and "operation" all misspelt, potential respondents have to do a lot of editing before looking up those error messages. Note that in Compose mode you can click on this symbol to activate the spell checker:
You also write "Ipod/ipod" instead of "iPod". You may not think this makes much difference, but Apple apparently does as they consistently refer to their product as "iPod".

So where's the +*other link*+ of the +"couple links"?!+
Your +Public Profile+ indicates you're using Mac OS X (10.6.2) — is that true? (The current version is 10.6.3.)

I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.
I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone. -
I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones. Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective? Thank you.
Isotope JoeFind My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer. This is for a Christmas present! Help.
I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.

My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years? I really want to purchase an Live TV plan yet I need iOS 7 to run most TV apps.
Can Apple tell me why my iPad 1 is obsolete?
gIt's not obsolete as much as the first gen simply lacks the power to run the newer operating systems. IT doesn't have enough RAM. If someone managed to hack it to get iOS 6 or 7 on there they'd just have a slow, boggy and unresponsive device. (think putting windows 7 on an old laptop.
Unfortunately software moves faster than hardware. Every thing goes obsolete. I've had my ipad 2 for two and a half years now and I know it only has so much longer left to it too. Just the 'joys' of advancing technology. -

Why you receive a notification and you get the banner across the top is there a way you can swipe or something to get it to go away?
Hello,
Unfortunatelly there is no option to automatically reload the sequences that got modified outside the current application.
I'm not quite sure why you are getting this message. However, since you mentioned you modified the process model, I have a couple of suggestions:
1) Make sure you are not modifing your sequences at runtime. Usually you get this message when you modify properties under SequenceFile. This is the File object and if you change it, TS may reload it.
2) When you call your sequences, also make sure you have the same prototype for the parameters your sequence is expecting and the ones you are sending.
Maybe you can gice us some more details about how you executing this sequences and how you modified the process model.

Why only receiver cc need to create manually after transportation?
Hi Friends,
I heard that when objects are moved from one environment to other environment the receiver Communication channel need to be created manually again. My question is why only receiver cc, why not sender cc?
Regards,
Suresh.Suresh,
When transporting objects in the Integration Directory, some fields are indeed cleared. However, this is both in sender and receiver communication channels.
The fields that are cleared are field that contain environment-specific data, such as hostnames, URLs etc.
Kind regards,
