Im on Mac OS 10.4.11, powerbook 4.21, CPU power PC750 Memory 256 MB - is this ok for firefox 3.6.24?

Im on firefox 3.6.23 - can I upgrade to 3.6.24?

Dumping a full log isn't going to help, and if you are developing then I would ask in the OS X Technololgy, and describe what you are doing, steps you've taken to capture code at check points and steps...
... after you have insured that you don't have a problems with RAM or other hardware possibly triggering a kernel panic.

I am running firefox 5.0 on my mac OS X leopard powerbook G4. Is this the latest firefox?

what is the latest version of firefox I can run on my mac computer which is a powerbook G4 laptop with OS X leopard Operating system.

You can only run Firefox 3.6.x versions on a PowerPC Mac even with OS X 10.5. 
If you have a later Firefox 5 version then that must be a TenFourFox build for a G4 powerbook.
Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 9 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 and can no longer use the thumb/finger spreading feature on the trackpad of my Mac Powerbook (Mac OSX 10.6.7) to enlarge text on websites. How do I restore this function?

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Does the newest (2010) Mac Mini work with a Powerbook (Power PC) G4?

So, I still LOVE my 5 year old Powerbook G4 but with news of Apple not making it's new operating systems (Snow Leopard and so forth) and iLife's compatible with Power PC's, I'm left in Mac limbo.
I'm currently running OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard) but my iPhoto, iMovie, etc. are all 2005 versions. I would really like a newer version of iPhoto, or of some photo library software, but most new ones (Aperture, Lightroom 4) are only for Intel's too.
The only solution I have come to is to buy a Mac Mini or a new computer. Since my Powerbook is in great condition, I want to get as many years out of it as I can. Does anyone know how efficient Mac Mini's are with Powerbook's? Or if there are any known issues?
Thanks in advance!

Yes they can network together, and share data over Target Disk Mode with the Powerbook being in Target mode.
Migrating data from them can be a little tricky as this tip explains, but not impossible:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350&tstart=10
The only reason to buy a newer Mac, is if you need features that are only available to 10.6 and above, and you can afford to upgrade those applications not known to work in 10.5. See my other tip here as well:

Retro Migration: Intel mac mini to PPC G4 powerbook

I have a perfectly good top of the range G4 powerbook sitting around and my partner wants to use it to to go mobile, is it possible to use the leopard migration assistant to move data from an intel mac mini to a G4 powerbook, is it all just a normal transfer or is there anything special i need to do?

You want to be careful about using the migration assistant when it comes to copying items from the user library. Rather than use the migration assistant, I'd do a Finder copy of the Documents, Pictures, Music and Movie files and install the programs manually. If you want to give her her bookmarks, contacts, and mail, you can safely copy the Safari folder from the Library to the G4's Library. I'd set up Mail Accounts on the G4 manually and then export the mail from each mail folder and copy them over for import. I'd export the contacts and then import them as well.

How do I connect/network my powerbook to my old power Mac?

I have an "old" Power Mac 500 MHZ G4, that I bought in 2000. It works okay aside from being slow.
I recently bought a new Power Book 1.67 GhZ.
I tried connecting the two computers via firewire, thinking I would be able to see each computer as an icon on the desktop the same way I see my external harddrives when I connect them up.
I'm hoping I would be able to manipulate things in my power mac using my keyboard on my laptop. I guess the main plan is to use the powermac as an external drive.
They don't seem to recognize each other. Is there anything I can do to make my computers get along? Did I pick the right category? Is this actually networking? Something tells me it should be easier than all this. Help appreciated!
Oh yeah! The Power Mac 500mhz, is running OS X 3.7, the Power Book is running OSX 4.8.

If you aren't already doing so, start up one computer with the T key held down, or use these instructions to set up a FireWire network.

Powerbook 1.67GHz PowerPC G4 (17") - Memory upgrade

My Powerbook came with 512MB originally from Apple. I just bought another 512MB card from the Apple store, and after installing it, when I display "About this Mac" to check whether the installation was succesfull I see the following information:
SODIMM0/J20STANDARD.512MB DDR SDRAM PC1700U-25330 OK
SODIMM1/J23REVERSED...512MB DDR SDRAM PC1700U-25330 OK
Is it OK that the original card is "STANDARD", but the added one is "REVERSED"? What does it mean?
Everything seems to be working fine, but the word "REVERSED" concerns me.
Thanks for your cooperation

PowerBook G4 15" Titanium very slow. I want to resurrect it for basic functionality. Is rebooting from original start up discs (which I have) a good plan? And if so, what's the procedure?

My PowerBook G4 15" Titanium runs very slow. I want to resurrect it's basic functionality. I am the second respectful owner. Is rebooting from the original Mac OS discs (which I have) a good plan? And if so, what's the procedure? I'm not concerned at this point with security vis-a-vis what will be left on the hard drive, but only with re-optimizing the little beauty for core tasks. Thanks!

As a respectful lover of PPC macs, still having a fully functional one, a 2004 12-in PB, let me ask first some details: RAM installed, disk size. I assume it is running 10.2, as described.
RAM is crucial for upgrading the system, 256 MB is absolute minimum for Tiger, best 512 or, ideally, 1 GB. There were 4 generations of tibooks, beginning with Jan. 2001 through Oct. 2003, which one is yours? The CPU is also important, as the last series may also run Leopard, not only Tiger.
As a basic thought:
- if the first tiBook, with 1 GB memory, you will beautifully run Tiger, Leo may not run due to low CPU
- with the last, with 1 GB memory, you may run both Tiger and Leo, for which 867 Mhz is the minimum.
Of course the original CDs are good, if 10.2, you must be having the last generation, which is of course faster than the earlier ones, so may also install Leopard. I would make a fresh, erase-and-install procedure, and see what is that slowness you mention. Jaguar should run OK on that model, and fast enough, but do the last update too, i.e. 10.2.8

Powerbook Harddisk or CPU problem?

Hello,
Now and then I experience problems with my Powerbook 12". Even with the smallest tasks, it seems to need an awful lot of time to process it. For example with minimizing a window, it sometimes takes 20 seconds till it respons. It stays in this state for some time, and then my music doesn't play correctly, and applications will not open or quit. The CPU-meter doesn't show any unusual activities, and doesn't even report the CPU is used 100%, far from it.
The odd thing is, when I lift the screenside of my Powerbook, in a corner of 45degrees, it starts responding again.
The Hardware-test doesn't report any errors.

From your description, it sounds like you have a hard drive problem - it may be failing. I recommend that you should backup your important data immediately.
Once your data is safe then get the PowerBook checked at either an Apple service provider or Apple retail store (if there is one where you are located).

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.

IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later for iTunes. Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
When I check for iTunes version 10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

I'm having the same problem.
iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
thanks

Hello everybody, Im trying to update my ITunes on my MAC (laptop) to the newer version so I can then be able to update the latest updates for my Iphone-3G. I don’t require a complete reinstall just need to be able to update my itunes.
What I have tried so far is I had my MAC search for update’s and it said that I should update to (ITunes version 10 . 6 . 3 ) So I asked it to do the update but after 2hrs of waiting for it to download/update it then puts up a message saying the following- (In order to continue installation, please close the following application: ITunes).
When I tried to do this another message comes up that says- (The update ITunes can’t be installed. The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for Apple mobile device support. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
I have also tried to run the update while having closed ITunes before I even start the update but the same problem happens after waiting about 2hrs.
Some one that had the same problem said this might be happening in the older operating systems. But that does not make sense because surely Apple want customers who own a MAC and i-phone to still buy from iTunes.
My MAC is about 4-5years old. I have a i-phone.3G,
Can anybody help me please and Thank you?

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.
