IBook Back Up

I'm looking for a backup fire wire drive for G3 iBook. I've come across the IOmega 320 eGo. Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated. Will it work? Which SW?
Tx J Aronson

A Firewire HD is the way to go. Don't know about the IOmega one, but should be OK.

I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit?

I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit? I have not published anything, just previewed on my ipad but the file seems to be deleted from my imac which is what I was using ibooks author on. Any help is welcome!

It's not a 'process' at all.
If it was easy/straightforward, people would be turning store versions into iBA versions left/right and all **** would break loose. It's not and that's a good thing, sorry
Work up from whatever version you have.
Any work you value should be backed up....period. That backup should be used and tested regularly. Consider this a lesson learned, perhaps. Good luck in the future.

When my MyBook external drive (where I keep my music) is connected to my Mac, iTunes stops responding upon startup. I have to force quit iTunes, disconnect the iBook, restart iTunes and plug the iBook back in.

no, if iTunes can't find its drive/folder, it defaults to creating one within your Home directory's Music folder.
If anyone knows a way I send a product suggestions to apple please let me know, as I have a few that would like to suggest.
under the iTunes menu choose the Feedback menuItem.

Is there any way to replace the bright white backround in ibooks back to the original bookshelf, or at least tone down the glare?

Babowa is correct; there is no way to restore the arrows. If you want to step up and down a list, try the keyboard's arrow keys.

Sending ibook back if can't find help

please, after two days of tech support with apple and my isp provider AND the local authorized dealer still no connection. i am going to have to send it back.
out of the box, it never has conneceted. everything indicates that it recognized the network but it just isn't connected. i carried it in to the AU and he picked up his network just fine.
i have a built in wireless airport, and a wireless router. i also have an IMAC that is conncected with no problem and a windows PC that is also conncected.
i get a message that my password is incorrect (i know i am typing in the correct one) tried the router password, modem password and the computer password. also message saying, "connection failed" in the set up assistant.
i plugged the modem ethernet directly into the ibook and it still didn't connect but my isp provider insist that it is the set up in the ibook not them.
also, a message saying no conncection.
1. can i set up another network? and go from there?
2. is there something i am not doing that everyone at apple is missing????
3. is there anyway to "tap" into my IMAC without the internet conncection on the IBOOK?
please any suggestions would help. i really don't want to return the ibook but i am running out of people to help me.
thank you in advance,
movie lady.

I have a couple of suggestions for you, depending on what you want to do. I apologize if any of this is a reiteration of what was already mentioned.
First, if you want to hook the ibook right up to the cable modem then you may first have to power cycle the modem. Depending on the cable modem that you are using, and all but a few do this, it will remember the MAC (media access control) address of the ethernet card it was plugged into when it was initialized-- precluding the use of other ethernet cards with the modem. If its of any help power cycling of the modem while it is plugged into the ibook may help with the connection. Otherwise, you may have to contact your ISP and ask them to resend whatever commands they need to in order to have the modem reacquire the MAC address. (Each network device has its own unique MAC address.)
If you want to ibook to connect through the imac via airport and the imac has airport, then you need to open the sharing pane of the system preferences application and enable internet sharing from the imac's ethernet port through its airport card. Set the name of the network to whatever you like and make sure that the ibook can see it. Once you do this, you need to disable the firewall under the firewall tab of the sharing preference's pane in order for the ibook to connect to the internet. (The reason is that the firewall protects the imac on all network ports, not just the one connected to the internet. As such, the imac will reject all information that it does not request from either connection. The trouble here is if the ibook sends a request to the imac for some information from the internet, the imac will reject the ibook's request because, from the imac's perspective it did not generate that request. Alternatively, you can manually configure ipfw, but that's probably overkill for your needs.) After this, you should be good to go.
Third, if you are trying to use a router, then you first need to make sure that its configured properly-- see your documentation for this one because each has its own eccentricities. But a few tips include making sure that the wireless connection for both B & G is on to ensure compatibility, adding all computers to the access control list if you are using one, and ensuring that all the passwords match.
As I mentioned above, you may very well need to power cycle your cable modem, or even worse call your ISP in order to change devices.
I hope this helps.

To be able to read paid-for ebooks on a desktop/laptop as well as an iOS device, you have to use one of the other free ereader apps and stores, like Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Googlebooks.

Just got my Ibook back from Service... How should I copy everything back?

My Ibook's HD died so I sent it to Apple to get it fixed. Luckily I had backed up everything before I sent it in. However, I didn't have any kind of utility to back everything up nice and tidy. Instead I just copied my user folder into the external HD.
How do I neatly return all my music, photos, and other apps back into the newly fixed Ibook????

Hi jonomo, iTunes & iPhoto are fussy about how things are put in their respective libraries so it is better to import them from within each application. Direct each app to where the files are to import.
If the applications that you backed up had installers, rerun them, otherwise drag them from the folder on your external HD into the applications folder on your new internal HD. (You did back up the apps too, didn't you? They wouldn't normally be in your 'home' folder.)
Documents too, just drag & drop.
Have fun!

How do I minimize my free iBook back to my bookshelf

Backing up iBook and PC using same external hard drive.

I need some assistance. I have to send my iBook back to Apple to repair the wiring for the monitor-it fried and no back light. It was recommended I back it up before I send it in so I bought an external hard drive. It is large enough to handle both my PC desk top and laptop and the iBook. Will there be a problem putting both systems on the external or should I partition the external to hold the mac seperatly. I specifically need to back up my iPhoto (2400 photos) and my documents until I get it back. I use MS Office so I can go back and forth between the PC and Mac for work. But my main intent is to use the external for all three computers.
Thanks,
Wendy

Unless any file is larger than 4GB, FAT32 (MS-DOS) formatting will allow both the PC and the Mac to read/write files to the external drive.

Internet connection (sometimes) slow to come back after wake up

Hi all,
I started having a strange problem few days ago. First time it happened my husband gave the iBook back to me after using it, and I logged into my user account - and internet connection was gone. I checked the airport settings, the bars were there - went and checked internet connection from the other computer and it was ok. Rebooted, twice, fiddled with the internet connections - and suddenly, without changing anything, the connection was back.
So I though it was weird, but since my iBook has been fine since I got it 7 months ago I didn't think more of it. Then it happens again - this time I opened it up from sleep, and again no internet connection, couldn't even contact the router although bars were there and it claimed that it was connected to the network. This time I didn't even change the settings, but just looked at them, and after 5 minutes or so the connection came back. Then it happened again, same symptoms and same solution - wait for 5 minutes and it will sort itself out. But of course it doesn't happen every time - yesterday it was fine.
Anyone has any ideas what's going on, and possibly even solve the issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
12" iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi.
Sorry that the simple fix doesn't do it. There are other things you can try, since WiFi can be cranky in many ways. First, are you running an Airport base station or some other wireless router? If it is "other", then you might try changing the broadcast channel on it. WiFi operates on 11 different channels in the 2.4 MHz band, and you might get more reliable connections on a different channel.
The Airport base station is smart enough to switch itself to the best channel, but you may have to do your own adjustments with other routers. Most use channel 6 by default; if you are in a neighborhood with lots of other WiFi access points around all running on channel 6, you can get significant interference. Try switching to channel 1 or channel 11. Other devices in the 2.4MHz band can also be a problem: garage door openers, cordless phones, or baby monitors.
Note your own router could have strong signal, but it would be fighting all the other signals coming in. If you are in an apartment building or in a block of houses fairly close together, such noise could be an issue. My neighbor was having WiFi connection outages, and it turned out that he had five detectable signals from his neighbors, all but one running on channel 6 along with him (I was on channel 3).
The location of your router can also be important. According to experts on the web, it is better to have your base station higher than your iBook. My neighbor had another strike against him when he put his base station into the basement while he tried to work in the bedroom above with a laptop.
Anyway, there are many things that can go wrong. You may indeed have a hardware problem, but let's rule some more easily fixable problems first.
Good luck.

How do I totally remove the 'ghost' of mountain lion from my ibook G4? I erased and restored to panther then Snow Leopard but ML still causing problems

I am not very tech savvy but work from home and have used Macs for about 18 years, so know the basics. Have had iBook G4 for almost 5 years, it came with Panther Discs and later added Snow Leopard. Never had even the slightest issue until about 2 months ago. Kept getting "browser no longer supported" on websites and eventually could no longer edit my own Jimdo website or publish on YUDU, so downloaded Mountain Lion and installed it on my iBook.
Straight away it was much slower to start up, wasn't that keen generally, but used it for 6 weeks hoping I would get used to it. At that point my older Mac Mini (also running on Snow Leopard) died and as I wanted to continue using my printer and scanner (neither had drivers to work with Mountain Lion) I went to Time machine and restored my iBook to the day before I installed Mountain Lion.
iBook was better immediately and started faster again, everything fine for about 3 weeks and then last wednesday my iBook would not come back on. The grey start up window showed the apple and whirly wheel for between 5 to 10 minutes, then just a blank blue screen. I could move the cursor but that was it. Tried to start up again many times, eventually the grey apple was taking up to 15 minutes before the blue screen. Refused to go beyond that blank blue screen when holding down C and starting up from either Panther or Snow Leopard discs or from Disk warrior disc. Disc Warrior and Utilities said nothing was wrong with the hard drive but always showed the HD icon with a yellow exclamation sign over it.
Because of work pressure, after 48 hours with no improvement, I wound up buying a new iMac, so can work but still would love to have my iBook back, plus use of my Printer and scanner again. Last night finally managed to Panther reinstalled after erasing 4 times and many failed attempts at install. Everything seemingly fine but Snow Leopard first reinstall failed so erased once more. Second time SL installed but gave a warning in red saying something to the effect that as I am installing an older OS over a newer one, there will be issues. This leads me to believe that somehow, despite Time Machines and now 5 separate Hard Drive erasures through utilities, Mountain Lion is STILL on there? How on earth can I get rid of it and return just to Snow leopard. Any help really welcomed as I am at the end of my tether but don't want to give up on my old faithful (until now) iBook
PS: Sorry if I post in the wrong section

First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion. To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4. What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content. Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems. You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults. A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install. If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.
