IBook Snow, no OS. How can I get get it running?

I got an iBook that had the HD wiped. When I turn on the iBook, all I get is a blinking folder/question mark. I have the restore disks from an eMac that ran Panther. So how can I get an OS on it and get it going?

Hi and welcome to the forum,
You'll need the disks that are specific to the iBook (gray) or a full retail version (black with silver lettering) of the OS you want.

How can I get iTunes running on Windows XP as well as a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize my new iPhone 4S? It seems to work fine with Win 7 PC so far, but not at all with the XP OS separate laptop.

How can I get iTunes running on a Windows XP machine as well as, separately on a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize and sync with my new iPhone 4S? I have different libraries on each machine which I need to sync with the iPhone, both in iTunes. It seems to be workiing fine on the Windows 7 machine, but not even reconizing the device at all in iTunes on Windows XP.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

Lost my iBooks after upgrading software, how can I get them?

Lost my iBooks that I had purchased before I upgrade to io5. How can I see all iBooks that I had purchased?

I have very similar problem. I purchased an ibook and it DL-ed fine on ipad-1. However, after software upgrade I lost many chapters of the book and all pics in book. Tried the fix of deleting the ibook and re-DLing it from "Purchases" but it keeps DLing the same book with missing chapters & pics.
Very frustrating. How to fix this?

How can I get the run time of a method?

I click a button "draw" to invoke a method such as draw many shades.
It hangs a long time.
I want to get the information of how long it spent.
How can I do it?
I'm new guy, more detailed please .
one example would be much better
ThankS all :)

Try JAMon. It is much more flexible than currentTimeMillis() and easier to use.
import com.jamonapi.*;
drawShape()
Monitor mon=MonitorFactory.start();
..code being timed...
System.out.println(mon.stop());// prints time in ms.

How can I get currently running script file path in PS CS (8.x)

Hi Mike,
Based on your description, we can enable the policy setting to see if it helps:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
Besides, regarding how to assign log on scripts, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Assign User Logon Scripts

Moreover, as Carl suggested, instead of using scripts, we can utilize Group Policy Preferences Dive Maps extension to map drives for users.
Regarding this point, the following article can also be referred to for more information.

MBP goes to Mac OSX utilities, How do I get it running without losing all my files?

My late 08 mbp froze yestersay. I turned it off and turned it back on, when i did, it went straight to Mac OSX utilities and it is saying I need to restore my computer. I have a lot of files from school on here that I cannot lose. How can I get it running without losing all my files? Please helpp
Thank you

Do you have any backups? I'm guessing not, from what you've said, in which case you may be about to learn the hard way why backups are important.
First, when your computer boots into recovery mode, try using Disk Utility to repair the hard drive. If there are no problems to repair, the cause is elsewhere. If the problems are fixed, try rebooting and see if the system is working again. If the problems cannot be fixed, you could try a program like DiskWarrior, which can fix things Disk Utility cannot.
If repairs work, or were not necessary, but the system still won't start up, try reinstalling the system. It will just install over your existing system files, leaving everything else intact. (In theory, anyway... if there's something badly wrong, you can never count on that, but without backups you have few choices.)
If the disk absolutely cannot be repaired by anything, you can try recovering important files to another hard drive using something like Data Rescue, File Salvage or Stellar Phoenix.
Regardless of what happens, you need to start backing up ASAP. See my Mac Backup Guide for more information.

I bought the wrong book in ibooks. How can i get a refund?

I bought the wrong book in ibooks. How can i get a refund?

A refund may not be possible since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:

It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

How can I get my bookmarks and mailboxes off my old iBook G4 that crashed?

My OS crashed. I reinstalled it, but still could not access anything. I took the computer to a repair person. He created a new account and retrieved everything I had on my desktop, but not my mailboxes or bookmarks. He said there is a way to do that, but it would be very expensive for me to have him do it. He said I could come here and find out. So here I am.
I can get online and to the desktop of this new account, but that's all. How can I get that stuff? I need it very badly.......
It was an iBook G4 14" with 10.4.11.
Thanks!

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

How can I get all category to show in ibooks? It is only showing 6 types.

How can I get to show all categorias in ibooks, it is only showing 6 types on my iPad2. I bought tur. Ipad2 in france.

Are you sure that there should be more categories ? Not all books, and therefore possibly categories, are available in all countries - Apple can only sell the books that they are licensed to sell, and it's possible that those 6 categories contain all the books that they have for your country.

I have several pdfs on my iPad in iBooks. My iPhone shows only the categories, none of the documents. How can I get my iPhone to also show the documents that are on my iPad?

You will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer (that will copy PDFs and epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and you can then sync them to your iPhone. Or you might be able to open each PDF in iBooks on your iPad and use the share icon to email them to yourself and then use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPhone to copy them to its iBooks app (if the PDF is protected then you may not get the email option via the share icon).
The Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections setting doesn't copy items between devices, it just means that it a bookor PDF is on both devices and you move it into a collection on one device then it will be moved into the same collection on the other device

After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my log-in to work again?

After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my apple ID log-in to work again?

Several times I've re-entered my passwords under Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud and it won't save since I've installed Mavericks. Also, the iCloud icon in the left column in Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud is greyed out but allows me to click on it to set-up. When I click on iCloud the password is filled out but the "Enable this account" check-box is not checked. I check it, and all seems correct. The icon is no longer grey, the password is correct, the "activate this account" check-box is checked. Then, when I launch mail, notes etc. I'm still prompted to re-enter my apple ID. The log-in loop continues. For years my keychain has worked perfectly. What has changed in Mavericks?

HT4059 I HAVE A MACBOOK AIR OS X 10.6.8. HOW CAN I GET THE 10.7.4 TO INSTALL IBOOKS AUTHOR 2.0?

I cant install ibooks author in my macbook air, because i have a 10.6.8 and ibooks author 2.0 requires 10.7.4. how can i get this os x update?

Lion may still be available if you call the online Apple Store, though a couple of recent threads have reported it as no longer available. If the Apple Store still has it, they will ask for your Apple ID and credit card number and will then send you a code which you can redeem in the Mac App Store.
Alternatively, you may still be able to find the USB installer at a local Apple Store or an Apple dealer, though available stocks will probably disappear quickly if they have not already. Otherwise you'll have to look for the USB installer on the open market, such as through eBay or a Mac User Group. Those USB installers are starting to rise in price.
An alternative, if your MBA supports it, would be to upgrade directly to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. With either Lion or Mountain Lion, confirm compatibility of your exising applications and peripherals before you upgrade.
Regards.

How can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?

how can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?
Since I have Ibooks 3.0.2 I can't start Ibooks on my Ipad1.

For iBooks try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
You can also try similar for the Kindle app - I don't know whether Amazon have made older versions of their app available in the store, so it may not work for that. If not, then as a work-around you could use their cloud reader 'app' : http://read.amazon.com - go to that site on Safari on your iPad and then create a homescreen shortcut for it (kindle cloud reader help)
