Ibook and tiger

I have an ibook g3 with 640 memory and 30g hd. I think it has a dvd player as I can watch movies on it. I also have an imac intel and the discs for Tiger for the itel mac. does anyone know if Apple will send me the discs for the ibook since I already own Tiger or do I need to buy them?

does anyone know if Apple will send me the discs for the ibook since I already own Tiger
They won't. You need to purchase them.

  • Running 10.4.6 on a G3 iBook and my Adddress Book won't open

    sorry, i posted this as a 'reply'-- and have re-posted it:
    I have a G3 iBook and my Address Book 4.0 won't open. I have tried re-installing from Tiger but I now have an OS later than Tiger, and am reluctant to go back. Also I don't know how to selectively install, as it doesn't appear to be an open on the install tiger disks. Where is "system" on the installation disks?
    Actually, I have the Address book installer, but it immediately closes after I sign in. I don't know if it is defective or something else.
    As you might have gathered, I have only elementary knowledge, so gear your suggestions accordingly.
    thanks!

    Kate,
    Tiger is 10.4.x -- did you mean you were reluctant to go back to Panther?
    Your version history, and appropriateness of reinstalling is confused -- please clarify?

  • Synchronizing emails between my iBook and my Mac Mini

    Hi there, I've had a search around this forum and I can't find an exact response to my query (most likely my search string blows).
    Anyway as the title suggests I've got an iBook and a Mac Mini. I have an email account that is hosted on a web server based upon my own domain name and thus no affiliation to the .mac service. Also I use Mail as my email application.
    Up until a couple of week ago I used iMAP to allow me access to my mail and my mail folders on both computers. All hunky dorey. A couple of unfortunate events have left me in a bit of a pickle however. First my server that hosts my iMap email has disappeared off the face of the planet and by the looks of it so have the hosting company as I have lost all contact with them. On the same day however my Mac Mini died on me and required a clean install of Tiger.
    Here's where the problems come in. Obviously I can no longer get my emails from the server as it no longer exists. My Mac Mini was the main computer for accessing mail, so the full bodies had been downloaded for each message when I opened them. Problem two, my Mini is now wiped.
    My ibook is used for infrequent email access so although it still shows the folder structure for my emails, mirroring that of my old server, it has only downloaded the bodies of one or two emails and the rest are just headers and subjects.
    Needless to say I'm now a little wary of iMAP as I've lost around 1000 pretty important emails from the last 5/6 years. Also as much as .Mac is kool, I a) want to keep my own domain based email address and b) I will have more than 1GB of email within no time so it'll end up costing me way more than I'm prepared to pay.
    Now that you've got my life story, time for me to explain where I need help. I'm probably looking to use POP mail now so I have a downloaded copy of my mail, however I would be willing to use iMAP if there is a way I can get my iBook to automatically download the full message bodies without me having to open each email or select its folder.
    Is there a way to do this?
    An other option would be to use POP, as mentioned, and I would be looking to synchronise my emails (including it's folder structure) between my two macs?
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks for your help and sorry for such a long story

    Try searching Mail Help instead (see below). Another place to search for this type of information is http://search.info.apple.com/.

    Yes. If you type IMAP in the Mail Help search box you should find an article titled Synchronizing an IMAP account to use offline that contains the information you're looking for.

  • Low OS9 resolution on iBook and missing network files

    Greetings:
    I have a 900mhz 14" G3 iBook and in addition to Tiger 1.4.9 on one partition and Panther 1.3.9 on the other, the Panther one also hosts OS 9.2.2, which I can use as a start-up disk via the Preferences panel (though it doesn't show as a startup option with Option key on startup). My problem is when I run OS9 it appears on a shrunken 640x480 screen (a rectangle in a wide band of black), which is the only resolution available that shows up on the OS9 Monitors panel. Other forums say I need a new screen driver that matches my OS version and my iBook, but where do I get such a screen driver to enable a full screen? Also, how can I fully update this OS because it seems to be missing the files to run Airport.
    Thanks for any assist!

  • IBook and vaio hd

    Hello there, i currently own a G3 iBook, and have decided it aint fast enough, so im going to buy a new G4. I also own a vaio pocket 20gb Mp3 player. this is formatted in FAT32 format. when its plugged into my g3, it doesnt appear as a drive, apparently its not gonna work on it, so i shouldnt bother. It is usually used with a PC running XP.
    I have also been informed that the new iBooks have updated drivers, so you can run more windows hard drives on it. is this true? and would my vaio work with it? if not, is there a way to make it work?
    any help would be very very much appreciated!
    dan

    You can reformat the HD on the MP3 player. You can use several programs on your Mac or PC. On the Mac use Disk Utility, on the PC there is a program called Partition Magic that will work.
    As for the G4s having newer drivers for Windows Hardware, I don't think that is true. The software is what determines the drivers and both the G3 and G4 ibooks can run OS Tiger and in turn should be able to run the same hardware. Hope this helps and good luck!!

  • newbie Possibility to run X Server and Tiger both

    Hi there I have a question about the following:
    I want to install Oracle on my iBook G4 but unfortunaltely there seems only a possibilty for this by installing X server. Currently I have tiger and it is working just fine I do not need to have x server as main operating system because tiger is sufficient to me. My question is if there is any possibility that you can install X server and tiger both and choose which one to use when starting up. If so how do I have to do this and is it wise to do it or not?
    If it it not possible does anyone know if there is a possibility to install Oracle on my G4? I have a wireless home network with only one Mac (iBook G4) and that’s it .
    Well thank you in advance.
    Scotia

    It all depends on the size of your data on the Mac os X client setup .. tiger server can sure cohabit with mac os x client ... but first you will need to backup everything on an external drive using Carbon Copy Cloner boot off your external hard drive , split your partition on the internal hard drive then back your macos x client down to your hard drive then install mac os x server on the secondary partition of your internal hard drive ...
    Hoping this helps
    PS: you can install mac os x server over a mac os X client installation but make SURE you backup your original installation and are ready to face a few updates. If possible try to get your hands on a copy of mac os x server 10.4.8 Universal.

  • Sync AddressBook between iBook and iMac

    Hello everybody,
    I am using an iMac and an iBook. On both machines I am using Mail therefore it would be nice to use the addresses which I have already entered into AddressBook iMac at the AddressBook iBook and vise versa.
    Exist any tool which will do the job, or can I use the Automator of Tiger?
    Kind regards,
    Michael

    On the iMac:
    Open the Sharing preference pane, click on Internet and enable sharing from Internal modem to Ethernet.
    In the Sharing preference pane ensure that the firewall is off or enable web sharing.
    On the iBook, configure the Network preference pane to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address.

  • Some images won't load in Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store

    Since my upgrade to Mavericks, some images on Safari, iTunes, iBooks and App Store wont load some times. I can't figure out the source of problem, but I've tested all four apps and the same problem exists across all of them; I've also tested Chrome, Firefox and Opera to see if they are suffering from the same problem, and surprisingly enough I've found that they are not; They load images perfectly well, and I've never encountered one to not load images. I'm totally confused and frustrated, what is preventing Apple products to load images? Here are some screenshots:

    Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items.  Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History and Web Site Data. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site.

  • How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.

    How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.  I can't just type in a URL and have it go to the site.  It takes me to all of Bing's choices.  Also, when it anticipates what I'm typing (incorrectly) and I have to delete it's guesses all the time.  Can anyone help?

    Have you looked at Safari's menu bar > view> toolbars to see if it can be unchecked from there,also see if there is a button to collapse the toolbar on the bar itself.

  • How can I control my ibook and pc from an iPhone/iPod 5 ?

    Hello
    I have recently bought an iPod 5th Generation and I'm very happy with it !! My question is.
    I have an old laptop iBook and it is connected to a hard disk where I stock my music.... So basically, this old computer is my jukebox. The only problem is that the screen on the iBook doesnt work very well (I must press really strong alongside the mousepad in order to see something). So I was wondering if I could control and see (select music and more), from my iPod touch ? Should I absolutely need to have an Apple TV ?
    Is there an APP so I could control my iBook from my Ipod ?
    I also have another laptop (PC) and I was wonder if I could control everything from my ipod touch ? It could be really fun.
    Many thanks, C.

    Remote app controls computer iTunes and AppleTV if you have one. You need the latest iTunes/AppleTV.

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

  • PDFs in iTunes not transferring to iPhone or iBooks and cannot be deleted

    I have a few PDF files that I added to iTunes which show up in iTunes under books, but when I either click select all or select those specific books they WILL NOT sync to the actual iPhone.  They also WILL NOT transfer to iBOOKS and even worse while they appear in the iTunes library as selectable for copying to devices there DOES NOT APPEAR to be any way to delete or find them.
    HELP!!!
    I am guessing that the problem has to do with these PDF files NOT being totally compatible with iTunes or iBooks and so they were uploadable, but once there they are stranded and unusable.
    Does someone know:
    1. How to find these files and delete them from iTunes
    2. How to get them into a format that will actually work so I can read them on my phone and other Apple devices.
    I am using an iPhone 6 plus with 8.1 and a Macbook Pro with the latest version of Yosemite.  I believe that my iTunes and iBooks are also the latest versions.
    Thanks.

    I have an update.  When I convert the original PDF files using CALIBRE to EPUB format (the mac format).  I am able to get the files to import directly (ie be added to library) of iBooks and then to iTunes and my phone.  I think this confirms that the problem is likely to be one of file incompatibility.  However, the file is NOT totally incompatible and so will show up in the part of iTunes where you are supposed to be able to click on it to add it to your device.  The problem is that since its not completely compatible clicking on it WON'T allow it to transfer to your device.  Fixing this either requires converting this PDF to another PDF format that is compatible, or better yet just convert it to EPUB which presumably will be MORE compatible and allow you to do more features in iBooks (such as resize the fonts etc).  
    I still have the problem of figuring out how to find and delete the original PDF files which are clearly not any good.  I suppose we can go to the root finder level, but where should they be as I don't see them in the iTunes books library? 
    Any suggestions?
