IBook 1.33ghz 12"PPC G4 512 meg RAM running OS10.4.10 and USB2...
I need a external drive for my daughter's iBook (above). The iBook is not within arms reach. I have a external 250 gig fw400/usb2 harddrive, will that work with the above G4 iBook?
Thanks much folks....

How does a G4 iBook with Tiger run with 512 megs ram?
Hi,
I am thinking about getting a G4 iBook that will have 512 megs of ram. How well does Tiger run with 512 meg of ram? I know that OSX loves ram. For word processing will I notice much difference if I expand it to the 1 1/2 gigs it will hold?
Thank youMy ibook runs ok with tiger, but haven't used it for anything other than internet browsing.
Ps, I have a mere 256mb RAM.

Can I install 10.4.11 or above on my G4 Titanium 400 mhz with 512 megs ram?
Hello,
My wife and I are trying to determine if we can both find to purchase, and install 10.4.11 or above on our Titanium laptop. She has recently bought the Adobe Creative Suite CS 3 and it requires 10.4.11 or above. I'm pretty sure we can add more ram at a reasonable cost but are trying to determine if we can even install 10.4.11 on a machine with a processor that is this slow.
I'm not too concerned about it running CS applications (photoshop,illustrator,in design) at top performance. It's really more of a secondary computer for us at this point. As long as the programs would function we would be fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
Cheers,
VanceHi, Vance. I believe you can still order Tiger directly from Apple, by telephone only, by calling 1-800-692-7753.
You can certainly install Tiger and update it to 10.4.11 on your Powerbook, and you can maximize its RAM to meet CS3's minimum requirement of 1GB. But you'll be running it on the second-slowest of all G4 processors, with marginally adequate RAM, and with a really antiquated and underpowered video accelerator that (like all notebook computer video cards that I know of) can't be upgraded. So CS3 not only won't be running at top performance; it will be running at rock bottom performance. You may be able to live with that, but doing so will certainly be harder if you also run CS3 on another, substantially faster machine whose performance will contrast sharply with the Powerbook's.
Years ago, I upgraded my 225MHz PowerPC 604e desktop Mac to a 500MHz G3 processor and a bigger, faster hard drive. I was also using a 166MHz Powerbook 1400 with a PowerPC 603e processor at that time, and it was a third or half as fast as the desktop Mac for most ordinary purposes until I upgraded the desktop. After the upgrade, the desktop was at least eight times faster than the Powerbook in real-life processor- and disk-intensive uses. Using the Powerbook (which had been tolerable enough before) suddenly became unbearable, with the result that I soon replaced it. -
Is there a patch, or updated version of OS X, that recognizes wpa authentication?
thank you for your response!
I am about to look into the efelix site for the PC, thank you. i'm excited.
for the mac, me thinks that i am out of luck with updating the driver. on the epson site the most recent drivers for my printer (epson sytlus photo 820) are for OS X 10.1.3 - 10.2.6, and I am running OS X 10.2.8.
Hmmmm, I downloaded the driver anyway, and it gives me an APPLICATION LAUNCH FAILURE because of a "shared library error" when I try to launch the new drivers. The other thing on the site is a PIM II Plug In - which doesn't look like a driver to me.
a link to the lack of drivers for my poor mac...

I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format. What is wrong? Same camera as before.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there? -
Hi, I have the iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!
Hello Glittergirl68,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
All the very best,

I recently (Jan 2012) acquired a MacBook Pro (MBP) running 10.7.4 and an AirPort Express. I also have an old PPC G4 tower (Digital Audio model) running 10.4.11. The OS software on both machines is totally up to date. AirPort Utility on the G4 is 5.4.2 and on 6.0 on the MBP. I bought a used AirPort card for the G4, I believe it is 802.11b compatible, and the wireless data rate is specified at 11 Mbps. Being a newbie to wireless, it took me many days to get these two machines to link up. This network is not connected to the internet, and there no other networks in the vicinity.
My last problem to solve is the very slow file transfer speeds between the two machines. The transfer time seems to vary depending on which machine I use to initiate the transfer, and which direction the transfer is going. For example: If I initiate the transfer from the G4 and send a 5.4MB file to the MBP it takes 1:32 (min:sec), while the same file going from the MBP to the G4 takes 27 seconds. On the other hand if the transfer is initiated on the MBP, going from the MBP to the G4 takes 2:56, while going from the G4 to the MBP takes 1:59. I realize that these times are not actual wireless transfer times but includes the entire transfer process.
Both machines and the AirPort Express are within a 4-foot radius. Both machines are set to radio channel 2. The AirPort Express is set for 802.11n(802.11b/g compatible) with WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security.
Any help would be appreciated.
CEU2BDAqua,
Thanks for the response.
Apple has used the term "Digital Audio" to identify this machine. System Profiler has the following information:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,5
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2
Serial Number: XBxxxxxMK9
Sales Order Number:
Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet. The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing. With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

Best Browser and OS for G3 Indigo Clamshell w/128 Megs Ram
Hey Everyone,
I am buying an Indigo G3 w/128 megs of ram that's running OS 9.2 and already has some version of MS Office on there. It's never been used on the net at all! All I want to do is e-mail, web surf, and maybe run iTunes. I am also scavenging an airport card from my dead G3 white laptop( Pismo?) and putting that in later, as my girlfriend has a wireless router. Basically, its just a cheap solution as I am working with her at her business and need something inexpensive to work on...that is MAC!
So, my questions are:
1) If I just plug it into an ethernet cable, will it update the firmware?
2) Can I still efficiently use 9.2 with my above described needs( minus iTunes...I know that needs OSX)?
3) What browser could I use and how do I get it if this thing has never been on the net before?
Thanks everyone!Probably the best browser for OS 9.x is Mozilla. Although Mozilla will have a problem on some web sites that are designed for newer browsers. Download Wamcom's Mozilla browser at: http://wamcom.org/latest-131/ With only 128MB RAM, you need to have a lot of Virtual Memory.
You only need to update the firmware if you are going to install/run OS X.
Although I have Panther installed on my G4, I run in OS 9.2.2 more than Panther.

I have a ibook running on 10.3 and I want to update it to 10.4 or above,is this possible ?
I Have an ibook running on 10.3 and I want to update it to 10.4 or above ,is this possible ?
Firstly, can you run it?
Minimum System Requirements for OS X 10.4 Tiger:
A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
Built-in FireWire
At least 256 MB of RAM
DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools
More information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301341
Secondly, you may find it difficult to get. Look on eBay or Amazon for a black retail install disk. Don't be surprised at the price.
Thirdly, your iBook is a decade or more out of date and officially obsolete. Is it not time to quietly retire it and get something more modern? -
iMac running 10.7.5 and have 2 question marks from old PPC apps, which I cannot locate any links to remove from the system? Any suggestions please?
Hello, if those Question marks are in the Dock, it means OSX can't find them either.
Right click on the Q mark & choose Remove from Dock, might be Roght click or click, then Options>Remove from dock on later OSX versions.
Sometimes you can just drag it of the Dock, or CMD +drag it off. -
I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.
Have you tried closing the iBooks app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If neither of the above work then you could also try deleting the app and re-installing it - as long as the books are still in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 -

Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?
Most of the Apple store sales people and some of the genius bar people are only knowledgable on Apple's more recent offerings. They are not very knowledgable, I found, on older PowerPC based Apple computers, I'm afraid.
Here's the real scoop.
Your girlfriend's G5 can only install up to OS X 10.5 Leopard. This is the last compatible OS X version for PowerPC users.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X10.7 Lion are for newer Intel CPU Apple computers.
Early iMac G5's can only have up to 2 GBs of RAM.
Later iMac G5's (2005-2006) could take up to 2.5 GBs of RAM
2 GBs of RAM will run OS X 10.5 Leopard just fine.
The very latest iTunes (10.5.2) can be installed and runs on both PowerPC and Intel CPU Macs.
However, there are certain new iTunes feature that won't work without an Intel Mac.
One of iOS and iTunes feature is sync'g wirelessly over WiFi.
This will not work unless you have an iDevice running iOS 5 and Intel Mac running 10.6 Snow Leopard or better.
Although, I was disappointed I would not be able to do this with my G4 Mac, it's not a biggie problem for me.
So, your girlfriend's computer should be fine for what she intends to use it for.
The Apple people either just plain didn't know or we're trying to get you to think about buying a new Mac.
At least, as of now, not truly necessary.
If Apple, at some later point, drops support for PowerPC users running 10.5, then would be the time to consider a new or "newer" Intel CPU Mac.
My planned Mac computer upgrade is seeking out a " newer" last version G5 for my "new" Mac.
I can't afford, right now, to replace all of my core PowerPC software with Intel versions, so I need to stick with the older PowerPC Macs for the time being. The last of the G5's is what I seek.
