Ibook g4 running 10.4.11 will not find my iphone ?

I have just bought this ibook g4 running 10.4.11 but i cant download latest version of itunes and the itunes what is on it will not conect to my phone well saying that i did get it to conect once but it would not let me do anything i have read that i need to update to 10.5.8 but when i click search for updates it says all  programes are uptodate i am new to using apple mac so could any 1 help me please with some easy to understand info thanks.

You need to use a newer Mac OS X version. A G4 can be upgraded to 10.5.8(if desired, buy a retail DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay), but you'll likely find it more cost-effective to buy a secondhand Intel Mac.

  • My clamshell ibook running on ios 9 will not connect to the internet

    my clamshell ibook running on ios 9 will not connect to the internet with airport i typed in the right passwords and it says an error occured and even if i type the right password it says it is wrong i need help.

    Most likely your router uses a wireless standard that is too new for the AirPort card in your iBook to communicate with.

  • I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card)

    I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro, I am trying to run MW3 but it will not work without crashing a few minuets into the game. The general specs on my computer are a dual processor 2.53 ghz. 4 gb ram and a NVIDIA geforce 9400 (9600 is the alternate card).
    Things to note:
    I have been unable to update firmware on this computer for about a year now. Im not sure why.
    I am running a bootleg copy of Windows XP on this computer, I would not like to spend $149 to get Windows 7 if possible.
    any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Why don't you take your 'old' MBP into your local Apple Store and have them check out everything that's wrong with it - and I mean everything? Then, when you get an estimate about how much it would cost to get the machine completely repaired, ask about the Apple flat-rate repair pricing?
    It's worth a shot - and with what you may save, you can put in the bank for a new MBP.

    you need to upgrade your OSX to 10.6.8 or later to sync with the iPhone 5. as you need itunes 10.7 to  run Iphone 5

  • TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

    I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is  'stuck'...any suggestions?

    Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

  • Firefox will not open. Process runs, but browser window will not open.

    I am unable to get the Firefox browser window to launch. The application will attempt to open, but the browser window will not appear. Task manager indicates that the process is running, it just will not launch the window. No amount of restarts or reboots will make a difference. The strange thing about this is that Firefox has never run. This is a new computer and this issue has been a problem since it was first plugged in.
    Troubleshooting steps attempted thus far:
    1) Attempted to open in safe mode - will not open
    2) Attempted to run in administrator mode- will not open
    3) Completely uninstalled application, including profile info and reinstalled
    4) Uninstalled known conflicts - Skype 4 (do not have Norton)
    5) Even though issues since new, I ran a virus scan just in case-nothing
    6) Uninstalled Chrome which I installed after originally being unsuccesful at getting FF to install (I uninstalled it before I began all of these troubleshooting steps as I have heard of conflicts)
    I am now at a loss and willing to try any other steps that you guys can suggest.
    Computer is running Windows 7 pro 64 bit. Running McAffee virus software. There are three identical computers in my office, purchased at exactly the same time with the same configuration. Mine is the only one that will not run firefox. Sadness. Please help, pleeeease...

    Win 7 with iTunes installed - I was also having problems with that.
    "netsh winsock reset" at the command prompt resolved all issues and Firefox launched normally.
    Check to see if Winsock is corrupted. May prevent FF from communicating with the web and consequently fails to launch properly - for my situation was not a firewall or antivirus block!

    Click Start, and in Start Search, type cmd.
    Right-click the cmd entry that appears in the search results, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
    At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
    netsh winsock reset
    Then, you should see the following message:
    Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the computer in order to complete the reset.
    Restart the computer.
    Note If you receive an “Access Denied” error message instead of the message that is mentioned in step 3, the command prompt was not correctly elevated. In this case, close the Command Prompt window, and repeat steps 1 through 3. Make sure that you correctly implement step 2.

  • HT1414 My ipad has locked-up, it has frozen while running an app, and will not respond to any button,  what do I do?

    My ipad has locked-up, it has frozen while running an app, and will not respond to any button,  what do I do?
    It simply stays on the same screen image, and does not respond to anything.  When I plug it into itunes, there is no indication of its presence.
    The ipad's clock has also stopped.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

    I have lightroom 5.7 installed, and have just downloaded / installed Lightroom CC, but although lightroom 5 runs ok, Lightroom CC will not run, any ideas please.

    What seems to be working for many users (myself included) is to sign out of CC and then sign back in.  After signing back in, LR will run.

  • My iphone 4S running IOS8.1.2 will not allow me to enable Location Services. Wherever I check it is "grayed out". advice?

    my iPhone 4S running IOS8.1.2 will not allow me to enable Location Services. Wherever I check it is "grayed out". advice?

    Hey AUABB,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to enable Location Services on your iPhone 4s, first restart the device:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Next, try resetting the location settings on the device to factory default:
    If you would like to reset all of your location settings to the factory default, go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Location & Privacy. When your location and privacy settings are reset, apps will stop using your location until you grant them permission.
    Understanding privacy and Location Services on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 8 - Apple Support
    If the Location Services option is still grayed out, you may need to back up your iPhone and restore the iOS software using iTunes:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Mac Pro will not find boot volume

    Hello,
    My Mac Pro will not find it's boot volume. Each time the computer is started, the blinking folder with the question mark is the result. A working install of 10.7 does exist on the machine's primary hard drive. If  I were to press the option key on boot, I can select the primary hard drive (after entering the password) and everything boots as normal. I have run TechToolPro on the volume with no detected errors, even after a volume rebuild. A Recovery HD partition is not on the boot volume. Should that matter?
    I really really do not want to reinstall Mac OS X. I have hundreds of gigabytes of data in question. Any reinstall/reconfig would take days to complete.
    Thanks

    So you are saying that setting the default in Startup Disk doesn't work?
    And you have not got or been using Carbon Copy Cloner or another to provide working bootable backup?
    You should have Lion Recovery on one of your drives, do a clean install.,
    I assume TTPro media scan turns up no errors.
    MOVE all your data OFF the boot drive. Keep the system OS and apps on its own drive.
    Clone the system. Use TimeMachine and cloning for backup.
    And how is the pram battery?
    Any time you zap pram you lose the default and it will look for it like you see starting with SATA0 (bay 1)
