IBOOK IS DEAD!! HELP PLEASE!!

My iBook G4 crashed while I was surfing MySpace. It wouldn't turn off, so I had to take the battery out to get the power off. When I turned on again, the screen went black , but I got the tone you normally hear at startup. Once or twice it has come up with the white screen with the Apple logo... but crashed seconds into it.
I don't have my OS X CD's because they were stolen (along with my 3 year iCare warranty) when my dads car was nicked a few months back. Everything I own is on there - all my music, all the music I created, my only (legit) copy of Pro Tools (those CDs were nicked with the car also)... and so much more.
Please please please someone help me.

Everything was taken from the car... all my driver CDs, all my packaging, a load of studio equipment (over £150's worth of leads alone), my double bed... my gold game boy, clothes... everything.
The only reason I still have the actual machine is because I was writing stuff on it when the car was nicked.
Am I really screwed?
Is it worth trying to get ahold of another OSX CD and seeing if theres anyway I can do an OS reinstall?

  • Ibook start up help please

    My ibook started to go mad today! I used it for a few hours, worked fine, put it to sleep, then later picked it up, logged in fine, it worked for a few seconds and then the screen went dark blue! I could hear the fan going but nothing on display! I had to do a hard shut down a few times, did PRAM and PMU reset, fsck , same thing kept happening.
    I managed to put an Tiger install disc and it started fine from it, did a disk repair - told me no repairs were necessary, repaired disk permissions, restarted, logged in, went to do a disk utility to check the permissions (just in case), then I MOVED the ibook a tiny bit and the whole screen went weird, was filled with coloured vertical lines! I just about managed to shut it down and since then I kind of start it and either get a flashing apple start up screen or no joy at all! I can hear the fan going and my Tiger disc spinning (still stuck inside and can't get it out). I tried booting every possible way, no battery just power, battery only, power and battery and got the same results.
    I also tried to reinstall OSX using archive and install and the screen went blank mid installation. I was also going to do apple hardware test but could not get a Tiger disc out to try that!
    Does anyone know what could be the problem?
    My ibook is out of warranty and I sadly have no apple care. I got my ibook in September 2005.

    A dead hard drive would be better than a fried logic board. You could replace the hard drive yourself if you had the tiny screwdrivers and a lot of patience.
    I'm on the second hard drive with my iBook G4, and that one is dying now.
    However, the symptoms you were describing sound a lot more serious than a dead hard drive - unfortunately....
    The good news is that the MacBook is a lot more durable than the iBooks were. My son has had his since they came out, and he's dropped it on the floor from his bed. The case is chipped a bit and there's a big space on the case, where there shouldn't be. He takes it to his friend's house without protection, in the rain and snow... just tucks it under his arm. He leaves it on his bed, where the cats take naps on top of it. He tosses it into his bookbag with the rest of his college textbooks and throws the bookbag into the back seat of his car. I can't believe it's still working!
    I baby my iBook G4 and have nothing but trouble with it. Go figure!

  • 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.

  • 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!!

    Hi there ajsupprt,
    It sounds like you may need to update the version of Java installed on your computer. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    Gray screen when turning on iBook G4 with tiny file folder in center of screen blinking finder icon and question mark.  I cannot figure this out.  Tried everything I know.  Can someone help please???

    Hello,
    Ideally you need to boot from the disk as you have no other media advisable. (e.g your hard drive)
    Without some form of system disk or restore you wont be able to diagnose the problem with your hard drive.
    By using a Mac OS X system disk you can load up the Disk Utilities and repair the hard drive if shown it's available. If it's not available you would need to replace the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS. Without any disk to support you, you are going to struggle.
    You can obtain replacement disk, both retail copies or system disk on the Internet.
    If you know what version of Mac OS X you had install (I'm guessing that it would have been 10.3, but would recommend 10.4) A retail disk is normally black with a colored 'X' on it, while system disk are always.
    Always try and obtain a copy of the system restore disks (Gray) for your iBook
    Ebay is another outlet that has genuine system disk for sell, but like any auction site, it's as and when someone is selling them.
    The only other thing you could do is take it to a Apple repair agent who could check the hard drive on your behalf. That way you can get confirmation if the problem is the drive or some other fault. They may even help restore the OS for you.
    I can't think of anything else to try without some form of disk to help you.
    There maybe just one other small thing you could try.
    When booting up, firmly rest your palm of your hand on the iBook next to the tracker pad on the left side.
    If it works then it's another fault that I'm aware of.

  • I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?

    I dropped my phone down the toilet then turned it off and left it in rice over night now it's saying battery dead and needs to be charged but I've read charing it is the worst thing to do, help please?

    After taking a dip in my vest pocket in the washing machine for about 10 minutes, my nearly new 5S spent 5 days in rice and silica gel packets.   It definitely dried out, but there is damage to either the battery or the circuit board because it turns on, and I continuously get a blue screen and it reboots every five minutes for a half hour, and then miraculously, it stays on and works perfectly.  But I wound up having to fork over $700 for a new 6+. because I couldn't stand the rebooting any longer.   I had no insurance, but I do now, Apple insurance, not carrier ins.

  • My Nano 5th g battery was dead, I charged and it play fine but all written material ie play list, music, albums, etc. are backwards.  Help please.  Tx  Tom

    My Nano 5th g battery was dead. After charged play fine but all written content in menus and songs is backwards.Help please.

    Try resetting the Nano first to see if that helps. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If the issue persists, connect the iPod to your iTunes library and restore it to factory settings.

  • Hey, my iPod won't turn on at all and it is completely charged, yet completely dead. Please help!!!

    Hello,
    My iPod is not turning on at all, even though it is completely charged. It is completely dead. PLEASE help ASAP!
    Thank you

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1750 My iMac slowed down, then word and PowerPoint wouldn't work, then I tried to switch users and shut it down with the button on the left back and now the whole screen is white and it is frozen and dead. Please help!

    iMac slowed down, PowerPoint and word wouldn't work, I tried to switch users then shut it down and now it is frozen with a white screen. Help please!

    From the way you are describing it, it sounds like the HD has failed. Please look over Gray screen appears during startup for troubleshooting steps. You can also run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode, it may take 2-3 passes for any error codes to appear and each pass takes approximately 30-60 minutes. However either way you should plan on taking it into an Apple Store or AASP for service.

  • Firewire Port not working, URGENT help please¡¡¡

    Hello People, i´ve just got a new Mac Mini  last week, and i´ve been trying to get my Alesis MasterControl audio interface, and is just a complete mess.
    This happened right after i´ve upgraded to 10.8.3 so i don´t know, the weird thing is that if i connect my old iBook to the Mac Mini the FW800 port works, but everytime i connect the audio interface, nothing happens, also the drivers from alesis, are up to date. i first thought about the port of the Mixer went bad, but it has 2 and non of them works, also thought about the cable but the same cable works when i connect my iBook, and the mixer is not bus powered, it has it´s own power supply.
    Needless to say i´ve already done the usual reset PRAM, turn of the Mac unplugged for 30 hour to reset the bus. etc.
    This is the usual firewire only system log that i get:
