IMac G3 DV 400 "not acceptable to OSX 10.4.3 Updater?

I have been resurrecting a friends G3 slot loading iMac and have just hit a strange hitch - having fixed the firmware update problem, installed a gigabyte of RAM, installed OSX 10.4, installed Photoshop and Internet access (via Safari) the machine has been going really well; faster than when it ran OS 8.6!
It still has a small HD - just 9.5 gigs but it has 2.8 gigs still free and BEFORE I install a newer, larger drive I thought I would update to 10.4.3. at least, but when I tried, having downloaded the 98 Mbs standalone updater (I usually always get the Combo but 118 Mbs is huge when stuck with an internal modem) I was very surprised that I cannot install it "You cannot install Mac OS X Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update" is what it says.
Is this something to do with the computer, or the intemall drive or something else?

Hi philip!
You can't use the smaller Delta update to go from 10.4.0 to 10.4.3.
The smaller Delta Update installer updates Mac OS X 10.4.2 to 10.4.3.
The Combo Update installer updates Mac OS X 10.4, 10.4.1, or 10.4.2 to 10.4.3.
The available space on the HD may also be insufficient.
Enough disk space
Make sure you have enough disk space. Even small application or system updates may require a few hundred megabytes of space to complete the optimization phase of the installation. Mac OS X itself may require 3.0 GB of free space, or more, depending on the version and installation options you select.
Good Luck!

Hi - I recently purchased a new iMac. I have a registered cs5 design premium package which is an upgrade - I have no disc for cs4 but have the qualifying serial number for it. I have installed cs5 via download onto my iMac but it is not accepting the serial number. Can anybody help. Does anybody else think that Adobe will loose a lot of customers by not providing any chat or call support for cs5 users??

You can support serial number and activation support.

My password keeps coming back incorrect, I have reset it 3 times now and it will not accept it on my iTunes to update on my phone or pad

my password keeps coming back incorrect, I have reset it 3 times now and it will not accept it on my iTunes to update on my phone or pad. It obviously is the right password since I was able to log in here...

Firstly like King Penguin says log out ,i would clear cookies and history in the safari settings, then I would restart the unit and then open up ITunes and try using the last PW you entered when you changed it.Cookies can be a bugger.

Intel iMac Core Duo will not accept OS 10.4.8 update

In a rash moment I once more decided to respond to Software Update's continual reminder that I have not updated to OS 10.4.8. I tried twice before and each time resulted in disaster with what I have been told is a kernel panic. During boot-up the screens wipes to grey with a black square saying 'RESTART'.
Then follows days of scouring backups to get everything back again. Well it just did it again. Why will it not accept the (Combo or Delta) update. Some have pointed fingers at RAM but why should the RAM work fine for more than a year and suddenly not for OS 10.4.8 and then work fine again once it has all been retreated to OS 10.4.7 ?

This is all just too weird !
The Apple Hardware Test CD would not run. I tried twice. It got as far as the 'probe' and didn't get any further.
Swapped out the 2 x 1Gb RAM cards for the original (piddling) 2 x 256Mb and tried the AHT again. It ran and found no problems.
AHA ! So it was the memory all along.
Put the 2 x 1Gb cards back in and ran AHT. It ran and found no problems
Okay, let's try the new 10.4.9 update via Software Update.
SAME THING AS BEFORE. Grey screen with the little black one saying restart.
Okay I'll put the 2 x 256Mb cards in and see if it manages to start. Before doing so I gave it one more try and after a self-induced restart halfway through boot-up it started - with the 2 x 1Gb memory.
Went back to Software Update and found a Java update and Airport. Ran them and when it restarted we were back to the Grey 'panic screen'. Tried once more - same thing. Swapped memory for the 2 x 256 and the iMac started. Tried a restart just to make sure. Back to the panic screen.!
removed and replaced the 2 x 256Mb and it started up. Restarted - Panic Screen.
Put in 2 x 1Gb - it started. Restarted - Panic Screen again. Replaced 2 x 256 - started. Restarted - Panic. Restarted - It fired up. Now I'm writing this whilst it is on because I cannot guarantee it will restart without swapping memory or reseating it or maybe just ******* into the wind.
Poxy **** thing can't make up its mind. There is no pattern.

Keyboard not responding after OSX 10.7.4 update

I have just installed the OSX 10.7.4 update.
About 12 hours after installation the screen dimmed with a message that I need to restart the computer. I did so and now after startup I get a message on the screen that the Bluetooth keyboard can't be found. I actually have a hard wired keyboard, not a Bluetooth one, but there is no response to keys on the keyboard and I can't get rid of the screen message, even after a restart.
So I can't start in safe mode or anything like that because the keyboard doesn't work. Any ideas on how to get around this?

Thanks for the suggestions, but the keyboard was connected to a built-in port.
When I came back to the computer about an hour after the problem appeared, the bluetooth message had gone and the normal keyboard was working again, so I could log in. I checked Bluetooth in System Preferences and found there was a "phantom" wireless keyboard listed, that I had never installed. I removed that from the list so hopefully the problem won't re-occur.
Not sure whether this problem was related to the update, but from other posts, it appears to have caused a number of issues.

Itunes will not accept my iphone4 after it was updated recently

i recently updated my iphone4 and now itunes on my pc will not accept it. I get the message saying itunes will have to be updated. I have tried to update, but doesn't download.

Hello mzshay2u2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you're unable to locate your iPhone within iTunes 12 on your Mac. First, I'd like you to take a look at the screenshot below, as iTunes 12 changed the navigation of your Library.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If you do not see your iPhone's icon there, then continue on to the link below.

Iphone 5s calendar not accept entries after ios 7.1 update

after ios 7.1 update the iphone 5s calendar not accept entries but will accept entries from sync with outlook connection via my MS desktop outlook

So, sometimes you discover a "fix" totally by accident. I tried the following and it's worked for me 100% of the time so far. Any entries I make using this have appearded on my iPhone and on any device where I view my calendar. Hope this helps others:
Open your calendar and then view it in the "month view";
Tap the hybrid view icon which is at the top to the left of the search icon at the top right of the screen; you'l see a list of the days activities at the the bottom of the screen.
Now, tap the "+" icon at the top to the right of the search icon. This will allow you to type in the event, time, date, etc that you want to enter.
Click "done" at the top right when finished. Now, you should see the event that you just entered at the bottom of the screen under the days activities. That should "stick" even if you close the calendar, or whatever. When I checked, it also showed up as it should on other devices. You can edit events, delete them, etc--it's worked for me.
I'm not sure why this worked--or what it's the only way to be able to enter an event since the move to iOS 7.1--but it's working for me--so why ask why??

IMac's game will not accept my password i had previously entered and i see no way to change or find correct password to get into game center. What do i do to enable game center ?

imac's game center for free games etc. on mountain lion won't allow me access with entering password i had previously installed. So why can't i change or use my previous password? i know of no options to enter and use my game center which i had previously used. It is a problem, what do i do?

Hi Tim, no experience with it, but I wonder if it want's your Apple ID & PW, instead of your login PW?

Mid 2007 iMac video card does not meet minimum requirements for latest iMovie update

Tried updating to the latest version of iMovie and I get the following message. "Your computer's video card does not meet the minimum system requirements." I haven't had any luck finding what those requirements are. What are the minimum requirements?
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue here too. I'm using a mid 2007 iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB of SDRAM and ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB.
What bugs me is that the update shows up but you are not allowed to install it. Either one of two things needs to happen.
#1 apple allows users to hide the update but still let you know that there is a hardware incompatibality
#2 don't let the update show up at all

USB ports not working after OSX 10.9.1 update

I have a late 2011 MBA 13".
The 2 USB ports stopped working as soon as I updated to 10.9.1.
I tried zapping PRAM and resetting the SMC.
I even turned the thing off for hours and still nothing.
Any idea how to fix?
Everything was fine until I did the update.
Thanks.

This is not a known bug affecting 2011 MBA computers with 10.9.1 so there is something wrong with your installation. Since zapping PRAM and resetting the SMC did not work I suggest that you try one of two things but first make sure you have backed up your computer.
1) download Mavericks and reinstall it. Sometimes an update goes awry and a reinstall fixes it. Since doing this won't disturb any of your data or applications it would be my first choice. You'll be downloading 10.9.1 so you won't have to perform any updates.
2) boot into the recovery mode, erase the hard drive and then download and install Mavericks. Once Mavericks is finished installing you'll be asked if you'd like to migrate data and applications from a backup. Say yes and if your backup drive isn't already connect it, do so. Select your applications folder and account folders from the list and let the Setup Manager do its magic.
BTW - this is why one of my several backup hard drives is a cloned backup using Carbon Copy Cloner (SuperDuper! Is another good choice). I can boot up my computer using this backup and download the newest version of Mavericks on it if I haven't already done so. I always quit the installer first and make a copy of it because the installer program deletes itself once it is finished which is something of a pain. It gives me more options including being able to boot my computer with it, erase the computer and copy the installer to the computer rather than having to perform the download all over again if step 1 fails. Since I always download a new copy of the OS when Apple releases an update this computer will have the newest version of the installer so I also can skip the download step of option 1 and just copy it over and install on the computer.

Have you tried resetting the option of the iPhone so it causes a New code number to appear on the Mac ?

My iPod 5th Gen (2005-06) will not accept charge when I need to update it. What do I do?

I was recently given an old iPod (5th gen from 2005-06) and I went to update and iTunes told me to charge it on a wall socket to complete the update, however when I plug it in it no longer receives power. It did before the update but now it doesn't and my iPod no longer works. All it does is display an image of a plug going into a wall socket.

I would first try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:

My cd player on my apple will not accept the blank disc to burn it keeps spitting it out

My imac
cd payer will not accept a blank cd -r to burn music it keeps spitting it out

Typically this occurs if the CD/DVD drive has been captured by a virtual machine, such as VMWare Fusion or Parallels. If you have a virtual machine, then either close it, or disconnect the CD/DVD drive from that machine.
If that fails, try my other solution:
Subject: Blank CD/DVD Not Recognized by Mac OSX
Problem: Inserting a blank CD/DVD does not automatically launch the preferred application. The report indicates "unrecognized format"
Solution: Deleted the WDNotifier.app from the "Macintosh HD - Library - Startupitems" folder, then re-start Mac OSX.
Analysis: WD Notifier is capturing the blank CD/DVD status and blocking it from being reported to Mac OSX. This appears to be a Western Digital bug in their app.

HT204053 When I am purchasing from the app store for free apps my card is not being accepted. It's the same account I keep putting in the 3 digit security code. It still is not accepting it therefore cannot update my games.

Please can someone help me. I have been using my present account card for almost 2 years. Recently when purchasing free apps from store, I put in my password, then it takes me to my account to enter the security code for my card I do this and I have even re-entered the new card and it's still not accepting it.
Hence I cannot update or buy until I do this. The same thing happened with my daughters account and had to use her dads card.

OSX for iMac Power G3 400

I have a iMac Power G3 400 MHz currently running OS 9.2 with 1G of memory and a 40G hard drive. I would like to upgrade to OS 10.3.9 to mirror my PowerBook G4 laptop. Is this doable? I have been given conflicting advice.

Adobe product's are going to be really slow on OSX (especially the Creative Suite version's! You are not going to work with it really nice, a lot off waiting. Maybe big file's will even not open.
Photoshop CS2 will work, but Adobe Illustrator 10 can not even run on your iMac:
Minimum Adobe Illustrator 10 system requirement's:
PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor
Mac OS X v.10.2.8 (10.3.8 or higher recommended)
256MB of RAM (512MB recommended)
960MB of available hard-disk space
Color monitor with 16-bit video card
1,024x768 monitor resolution
CD-ROM drive
If you want to have a nice extra system, i would probably buy something like a G4 MacMini. Those are fast enough for your requirement's and quite cheap (used one's ofcours) for the performance you get.
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem.
