Ibook display help please

I have an 800Mhz G4 ibook with a cracked screen. http://tinyurl.com/ary53
would a screen from a G3 600Mhz with VGA be compatible?

Hey there,
I wouldn't recommend doing the "closed-lid" mode on a G4. The iBook G4 is a very warm-hot running machine, with much of the heat dissipating through the keyboard (as the ventilation and fans are pretty inadequate). He can go into Displays in System Preferences and play with the settings in there if he wants to prehaps span screens (making it one big desktop).

  • Ibook G4 help please!!!

    Hello everyone,
    I need help with my IBOOK G4. I have power and I hear the fan and the start up sound, but it gets stuck on the gray screen with the apple in the middle and the circle spinning. I am trying to use the software restore and install disc to start it up and it won't read it. I turned it on and help down the power button and the "C" key and it still gets stuck on the gray screen. I am not concerned with saving any data or software, I just want it to turn on. Anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Maybe taking out the battery and disconnecting power supply for a few minutes? Can you hear the CD drive spinning, or even trying to? Had it been acting up at all?
    How old is the iBook?

  • I think I broke my gf's ibook :S Help please

    So yesterday, I opened my girlfriends iBook up to clean it out. It had been overheating even when on a flat surface and shutting off. So I went to work with the compressed air. I removed both bezels and whatnot. When I put it all back together, I hit the power button and heard the startup chime, but just a black screen. Then followed by another startup chime, and still more darkness. So...here I am now, with an inoperational iBook and irate girlfriend! Step one, I'm going to take it apart and double check that I put everything together correctly, and if this doesn't do the trick, I fear my laptop knowledge has been exceeded. Any ideas? My last resort (easy way out) is to buy another one on ebay and swap out the HD with hers. My question for that is, if I just swap out a HD will the new comp boot up and be exactly like her other one (ie...same wallpaper and prefs with all files??. I have successfully swapped out her disk drive with a combo one and some other small things, so I have a bit of competency...I was kind of in a hurry this last time...mistake #1.
    So any suggestions or help would be great! Thanks guys!

    I would be certain that it was exactly the same model iBook in order to maximize the chances of it working. Check out the specs at EveryMac.com to be sure you get the exact same model.
    Good luck.

  • Display help please.

    Hi all...my parents reinstalled their software on their new Imac..im not with them....they say the screen is centered(desktop) but doesnt fill the screen...what do they need to do to fix this?..thankyou

    It is impossible not to have a full display after any (re)installation.
    I suppose they have chosen an image for the desktop that doesn't feet with the screen.
    Tell them to go in System Preferences/Desktop&Screen Saver/Desktop. The image chosen must be FillScreen

  • Disappearing keyboard on login (iPad Retina Display) - Help please!

    Hi
    I bought my iPad a few weeks ago and am loving it...  Although the other day without warning the loging keyboard disappeared.  I can "slide to unlock", but then when the keyboard should appear (to be able to login) it doesn't!! 
    I've seen similar comments about this for the iPad 2, but all seem to say turn off the bluetooth - BUT I can't even get THAT far... I can't login!!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI.  I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
    1)  Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
    2)  Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
    3)  Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
    4)  Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
    5)  If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
    Hopefully this helps!  Good luck.

  • I have downloaded several books into ibooks.  Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day.  Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book.  What can I do? Help please.

    I have downloaded several books into ibooks.  Started reading one and closed it when I was done reading for the day.  Now I want to access other books and when I open ibooks it goes directly to that first book.  It does not give me the shelf to choose what book I want to read - goes directly to the first book. What can I do? Help please.

    There should be a Library button on the top left. If not ap the middle of the screen to get it to appear.

  • ITunes, app store, iBooks store, etc won't load and I can't figure out why. I tried rebooting and it didn't help. Everything else works fine. Help please?

    iTunes, app store , iBooks store, etc won't load and I don't know why. Everything else works fine, and I've rebooted it. The problem is still there and I know I have a good Internet connection. Help please?

    Have you tried disconnecting and re-connecting to your network ?. And when you say rebooted do you mean a reset ? If not then try that : 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.
    You could also try closing those apps completely. From the home screen (i.e. not with any of those apps '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 iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

    settigns>itunes and app store to make sure you are signed in.. If  you are, you will see your account name..... anyhow, click your account name, sign out and sign back in
    also go to to settings>general>reset and reset network settings... if that doesnt work settings>general>reset and reset all settings!
    one of those shall work. The last step would be to restore your device (apple.com/support) HT1414

  • HT4059 Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? Mr Ignorant

    Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? I need to persuade someone that this really is worthwhile. Mr Ignorant.

    The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
    You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

  • Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please?

    Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

    Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

  • Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
    I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
    Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

  • HT1338 When I try to link my Macbook to my TV, I cannot find the "Arrangement" button that would lead me to "Mirror Display". Please help!

    When I try to link my Macbook to my TV, I cannot find the "Arrangement" button that would lead me to "Mirror Display". Please help!

    The Arrangement tab only appears in System Preferences Displays pane if a second display is recognized by the system (the OS).  So it seems like your MacBook is not seeing the TV as being connected.
    Describe the video connection between MacBook and TV...  What type of video out port does your MacBook model have?  How is it converted to the type of port used on the TV?
