I recently bought a ibook g4 with osx 10.5 I would like to downgrade to 10.3. I spoke to 2 people at the genious bar. One said to buy osx 10.3 9 on amazon. another said that might not work. Help!

I recently bought an ibook g4 with osx 10.5.8   I would like to downgrade to 10.3.9.  I spoke to 2 people at the genious bar. One said to buy osx 10.3 9 on amazon. another said that might not work as the upgrade to 10.5 could have made internal changes.
I have another ibook g4 with 10.3.9 on it. Is there any way to utilie this?
Thanks

Thanks Niel.
Bear with me, as I'm not particularly computer literate.
I found the computer listed (Powerbook 6,7, 12 inch screen) and the following note:
"Details: *This model is capable of using Mac OS 9 applications within the Mac OS X "Classic" environment provided with Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" and lower ("Classic" is not supported starting with Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard"). It cannot boot into Mac OS 9."
Does this mean if I purchase OSX 10.4.11,  I can install it and then use software that works in the "Classic" environment?
Again thanks for your help.

  • I recently bought a MBP 13 with retina display.  I'd like to use a Sony NSX-32GT1 tv as a secondary display.  However, using an HDMI cord, I have been experiencing mouse latency.  I've updated the MBP mouse settings, but it hasn't helped.

    Possible thunderbolt solution?

    Would a thunderbolt to HDMI cord possibly alleviate this issue or is there another solution?

  • I play a game that seems to work better with FF 3.6 and would like to downgrade back to that version.

    Fallen Sword runs a user script. FS helper. It works much more reliably on the old version of Firefox. How do I get back to that version. It was fine. I use Greasemonkey as well.

    Firefox 3.6 works with OSX 10.4.
    The last version of Firefox that ran on 10.3 (according to system requirements) was Firefox 2. Because it has not been updated for years, Firefox 2 is not secure and definitely not recommended for use on the wild wild web.
    I think you might be out of luck!

  • Made new Apple ID and is still asking for old that is not working, help

    Please help me with my Apple ID. We have made a new one because we could not think of our old one and nothing was matching when we tried to regain it. So I cannot update or download anything as it still asks me for the old ID password, I don't know!!! Please help

    IIf you are trying to activate a phone and it is asking for a previous users Apple ID and password you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature to prevent lost or stolen iPhones from being activated By an unauthorized individual. You must contact the previous owner to either get the Apple ID and password or have them remove the phone from Find My iPhone. If you cannot contact the previous owner you will not be able to activate the phone.

  • Recently bought pro retina 15" with a super drive. But when I played a dvd the quality wasn't very good, any suggestions?

    Recently bought pro retina 15" with a super drive. But when I played a dvd the quality wasn't very good, any suggestions?

    There is a good chance that the DVD is OK and the machine is OK since a DVD's resolution is set for a television and not for a computer with a resolution 4 times that of the tele (at least).
    What are you using to play DVD?
    What is the DVD and what does it say on the cover about resolution or aspect ratio?
    Just because you have a retina Mac doesn't mean you will get an excellent picture from low resolution media, if you are using DVD player use the menu option for 'Actual Size' this will play it at the resolution for the DVD, any larger then it will start to pixelate.

    You are in possession of stolen property.  It is neither your responsibility or your right to attempt to continue possessing the device or attempt to contact the owner.  Turn it in to local law enforcement.  Whether you think it will do any good or not is totally irrelevant.  If the police find out you have stolen property, and you did not turn it in or report it to them, then you run the risk of facing criminal charges.
    Is it worth it?  Your choice, pal.

  • How do I transfer music, videos to my iPhone from another computer that is not the one my iPhone syncs with

    How do I transfer music, videos to my iPhone from another computer that is not the one my iPhone syncs with.
    Thank You!

    Take a look at this -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Short version: iTunes will transfer the purchases made from the iTunes Store on your iPhoneh to your computer. It treats all other music and video syncing as a one-way street, to comply with copyright laws (wont sync stuff not purchased through iTunes from your iPhone to your computer).

    Are you sure that the "On My Mac" folders weren't empty? If all your mail accounts are IMAP, they may have been.

  • I bought a new iphone in miami that does not work, how can i get it repaired by apple?

    I live in Argentina. I bought a new iphone 3gs unlocked on January 20th, 2012, in Aventura Mall in Miami, Florida. I arrived in Buenos Aires last Saturday, 28th, turned it on, and it never worked. It shuts down, and freezes for long periods of time, strange things appear on the screen, basically, it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
    I want to give it back, and get my money back, but there's no contact mail, or telephone I can call from Argentina. There are only 1-800 telephone numbers which I cannot use from here. Also, there is no official Apple Store or Repair Centre here in Buenos Aires.
    I call to the Aventura Apple Store and a machine answers me, and does not re-direct my call to a repair centre or support centre.
    I find no way to contact Apple regarding my problem. It seems I could only contact them if I lived in USA.
    I can't believe I have bought an Apple product that does not work, and that I cannot claim to anybody. I have no way of asking for a replacement.
    Thanks for your help.

    This is the way of Apple all over the world, Their toll free telephone numbers for AppleCare support are all country specific.  Apple does not provide an international support number anywhere.

    You've tried deleting and redownloading them and seeing if they then work and tried contacting the developers ? If you have and they can't/won't help then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
