I recently purchased a used ibook g4 and i want to update to itunes 10.2. It tells me that I need to update to mac os 10.5. Today is the fist time that I have ever used a mac and I am not very well versed on computers to begin with. From what I gather I need to purchase the mac os 10.5 but there are a lot of different options and I dont know what I need to do. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I dont want to spend too much money because i just want my ipod touch to be compatible with my ibook. thank you

Hi
Your question is more suitable for the 10.4's General Forum rather than 10.4 OSX Server. Post here instead:

When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do?

When I start iPhoto it says the library needs to be updated and when I try to do that it says that the program is in use or unreadable. This is the the first time I have ever launched it. What do I do? It keeps going around in circles. I have tried re-starting the computer and re-launching the program holding down the option-command keys. Neither helped.

What version of iPhoto are you using?
This is the the first time I have ever launched it.
Does that mean there are no photos in the library? If so move it to the Trash bin in the Dock and launch iPhoto again.
If there are photos in the library do the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Hello this is the first time I have ever had a problem. I am trying to down load a movie and it keeps giving me error -50. I have signed out and back in and deleated the download and tryed again and still will not download.

I have rented 2 movies the past 9 days and they won't transfer to my iPad (first generation). Get the same error message that says they cannot be played on my iPad. I haven't watched either movie and this is the first time I have ever had this happen after several successful movie rentals and transfers.

When you have a query please post the feed URL rather than its contents. For the record, yours is at

I don't have an iPad to test this, so I can only refer you to Apple's Podcast Tech Specs page:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#formattingvideo
This says that the maximum video size for an iPad is 1024x768 - your latest episode is 1280x720.
Slightly confusingly, it also says
'iPad & Apple TV can play the following video formats:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format'
which suggests that mp4 files are even more limited.
Incidentally your feed gives this URL for the media file:
http://www.honywoodschool.com/user/59/133934.mp4
However when downloaded this produces a file called 'howtosetupappeid.mp4' so soe sort of redirect appears to be in place, and these can sometimes cause trouble. It's better to link directly to the file - it's possible that the iPad doesn't handle the redirect.
That's all I can suggest: if it still doesn't cover the problem I can only refer you to the iPad forum where someone may be able to actually try your podcast and offer a comment.

I have never used indesign to type in text on the spine of a book for submission as a book cover with the POD company Lightning Source. I would be so grateful if someone could tell me how to do this. This is the first time I have ever used a forum.

Help! How do I type in text on the spine of a book cover template in indesign?

1. Determine the spine width first. Note that the spine width is relative to the thickness of the paper used for printing. For example, your book is of 300 pages, the spine thickness varies relative to paper thickness (say, 60gsm paper or 70gsm paper, or thicker art paper varieties). Get in touch with the Printer to give you a bound dummy (blank pages) with as many number of pages as your book has. Measure the spine manually from it. When you are more experienced, you would be able to calculate the thickness just by knowing the paper thickness (multiply by number of pages of the book).
2. Create a spread to represent the back cover (left) and front cover (right). Increase the width of either the left page or right page, to make it exactly the width of book + spine width. Use guides to separate the spine from the cover design area. Type the spine matter and rotate the frames to fit to the spine. Rotation of frames should be in such a way that when the book is kept on table with its front cover on top, the spine text matters should be erect (not be upside down). On completion the whole design should have the bleed area on all four sides, left page as back cover, spine in the middle with rotated text frames, right page as front cover.
OR
3. You can also make the spine a separate page. Create a page exactly of the width of spine. Go to Pages panel fly-out and uncheck "allow document pages to shuffle". Arrange the three pages, the back cover the spine and the front cover in that order side by side in the pages panel (you can drag-drop the pages to make the 3 pages spread). Go to layout to make finishing touches.

F.F. keeps telling me i need an ActiveX Plug-in but i can not find one for 3.5.11. This is the first time i have ever had a problem and totally lost here...please help. Jared

I was going to add some new ringtones to my cell and in trying to listen to the samples i keep getting the Firefox needs to an ActiveX Plug-in would i like to be directed to where it is but nothing there matches....
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== Every time i have tried to go to site to review ring tones...

Firefox, and most other browsers except IE, does not use ActiveX. See [[ActiveX]]
You can try this add-on to see if it will allow you to listen to the ring tones by using IE's rendering engine in a Firefox tab:

You can wipe the iPad's contents completely by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will remove all of the previous user's apps, data, settings and so on from the iPad and you can set it up as your own.

If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

If one buys pages , can i download it and run it on my desktop AND my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? its only me using one machine at any one time. (Have recently purchased a second hand iMac and secondhand Mac book pro 17")

I have a couple or dozen or so excel spread shheets that I use origionally created in M/s Excel v.5.0 ( yup some time ago although have run and updated them on office 2007 perfectly etc. AND numerous word files that I refer to. I have also run these files using Open Office on a small 13" mac Book Pro. successfully.
I have now decided to change my personal use computers > macs.
Ok, so in summary then i think you kind guys are saying:
(1) That if i buy Pages & Numbers or even iworks which is Apple's suite of such programs i believe, then I can download and Run these apps /programs on each my personal mac computers whether they be my second hand Imac or second hand 17" mac book pro. ( basically i have purchased these so that I am converting to the "Apple Side" and can use the Imac desktop while at home and Mac book pro when out and about) , under the one purchase and one licence.
(2) The decision as to whether to Buy M/s Office for Mac v Pages & Numbers or the iworks suite is that if I have lots of MACROs in my existing files written in M/soft that it would be better to go for M/s Office for Mac. I understand that Macros are the automated thingys ?? I have formulae obviously inthe fairly simple spread sheets but not aware of any macros. So I guess that means ~ I could purchase either product by the sounds of it. yes? Are there any other obvious things i need to consider?
Other INFO:
Also, I have snow leopard on one system and Maveric ( pretty impresive!) on the other. i am slightly reluctant to upgrade the snow leopard o/s as I would have to upgrade the paralles software and probably Windows software as well in order to run an old Kitchen, drawing program that I use occaisionally. I know that one should be able to partition / and Boot camp but I really don't want to do that. I feel at this stage its not worth payingtoi up grade all these bits of software for something I rarely use. But I am open to anyones comments / views.
Thanks.

I recently purchased a used iMac and cannot load iPhoto and other apps?

I recently purchased a used iMac. It was wiped clean and has the newest version of Mac OSX installed.
When I go to the app store, it shows iPhoto and has an accept prompt next to it, though when i enter my apple id to accept, it says I cannot do that as it was previously accepted, obviously by original owner. It says i could purchase it, but there is no available prompt to purchase it.
Questions: Do i have to purchase? How do i go about doing that?
Thanks!

If the machine was originally configured for Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or earlier you should have gotten the original DVDs, one of which had the iLife apps on it. If it came with Lion already pre-installed you can try Lion Recovery, OS X Lion: About but I doubt it will download the iLife apps for you. In short you probably have to buy them or get the original DVDs from the seller. Another option is to call AppleCare and for a nominal cost they will replace the original media. You can find their number by using the AppleCare Contact Info link.

I recently purchased a new Iphone 5C and want to give my Iphone4S to my husband to use. An old email id that no longer exists keeps popping up and I cannot restore the 4S to factory settings so he can use it as his own. Any suggestions?

I recently purchased a new Iphone 5c and gave my 4s to my husband to use. However an old email address of mine keeps popping up that no longer exists and I don't know what the password was
and I cannot restore the 4s to factory settings. Is there any resolution for this?

Find My iPhone Activation Lock

The problem is covered in the above links. Unless you know the Apple ID and password used to set up the Find My Phone lock originally, then the phone is useless. If you have proof of ownership and that you are the original purchaser, then you can ask Apple to release it from the activation lock.

HT5622 I recently purchased a use 2nd generation iPad. I was told the Apple ID is locked. If I re-set the iPad back to factory defaults and erase all former info on the iPad. can I now use my Apple ID to install Apps and connect to my Apple Computer?

I recently purchased a used 2nd generation Apple iPad. I was told that the iPad is locked because of Apple ID. I plan on erasing everything on the iPad and setting it back to factory defaults. Can I now use my personal Apple ID via my iMac to start it as it originally came from Apple??

It is a brick! But I did somehow get into the iPhoto section and was able to find the Former owner that owned the iPad and was able to contact him VIA FaceTime. on my iMac. He was of little help because he was not the original owner, but he bought the iPad as I did from a huge supplier and i was able to contact that supplier who refused to give out any information about the previous owner. I had the iPad hooked up to my somehowiMac via the USB cable and went through the setup procedure to no avail. Then after pressing the Home button several times it somehow went to the iPhotos that were on the iPad? There were 2 pictures of the owners email address. I then copied them to my iMac and used iPhoto app to enlarge the photos. It worked.So there is a way,just takes time to somewhat hack into Find My iPad?Phone.
Personally, it is not Apple's responsibility to protect customers of their personal DATA. With such a high security application. Then of coarse it is a great idea. Then again it is the responsibility of the former owner to wipe and rest the iPad before reselling it. This being the case like those sold on eBay and elsewhere that are ID Locked should not be allowed to be sold. Personally the ID lock is much like a VIN number of a car. In most states one cannot sell a car without the VIN Numbers. Somewhat the same thing should be true of ID Locks

Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings.

Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.

In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.
