IOS 5 on a powerbook G4. Running OS 10.5.8 as well as iTunes 10.5. I do not have USB 2.0 (1.1). Can I stillget iOS 5?
I have an old Powerbook G4 and it is running on OS 10.5.8. I just downloaded iTunes 10.5. My questions is; Will I be able to download to iOS 5? The USB connection is the old 1.1, would that have anything to do with being able to get iOS 5? Also, I purchased the the iPhone 4 from Apple, which is set for delivery on the 14th, my question is, will it come with iOS 5 pre-loaded?
Just a small addition to Niel's answers:
Apple transitioned to the Intel architecture for Macs in 2006. Your next Mac would need to be at least that new, if not newer.

I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8. The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it. However I can not get disks to eject. I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.
Yesterday I opened up the iMac and reinstalled the drive to make sure that it was not an alignment problem. I still can not eject. When I try to eject the drive makes noises like it is ejecting but the disk does not come out.
How do I solve this problem?Hi again Hal
Link to your other thread > The slot loading CD/DVD drive in my...: Apple Support Communities
You have also tried resetting the PRAM as I suggestion in your other thread...?
See resetting the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys. -
I am running MS Office for Mac 2008 on my MacBook Pro. I do not have the Standard and Formatting toolbar fixed into position, as I would expect and would like. I can access them via the View menu, where I have to select and de-select them before I can get them to display, but lose them when I log off. Can anyone help? I have tried all the usual and supplied help facilities to no avail. Thanks
Post the question in Microsoft's own Office for Mac forum.

When i switch my laptop on then double click Firefox to go on the internet a pop up appears more often than not saying Firefox is already running you have to close existing window or restart your computer, i have nothing at all running so i have to restart the computer only to find the same thing happens again and again. I updated Firefox to newest version about 2 months ago and this was happening now and again but it seems to be happening all the time now. It is just luck sometimes that it lets me launch the internet.
Hi There before i posted on this site i did all sorts of scans including malware scans. Today i got on internet no problem last night i tried the pop up appeared about 6 times i gave up. I have someone coming to look at my laptop today if they discover anything i will post the findings. Many Thanks Dancingflame

I have a Macbook that I bought in 2006. I am operating on version 10.4.11. I'd like to find out how to upgrade this laptop so I don't have to buy a new one. I can't do much on here with this version, and when I go to Software Updates, it tells me there aren't any. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
You need to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change within an existing Operating System. Such as the .11 added to 10.4.
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
You can upgrade straight from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
A retail 10.5 Leopard disk will run you around $200 -
HT4623 My iPad does not have software update in settings? What can I do to get iOS 6?
My iPad does not have software update in settings, what can I do to download iOS 6?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

I think you're out of luck with PPC & 10.5, or in luck by my view of iCloud.
Some features of iCloud require iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2, or a Mac computer with OS X Lion or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 recommended). Some music features of iCloud are available in beta now in the U.S. only and require iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (GSM model), iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2, or a Mac or PC with iTunes 10.3 or later.

I have a Powerbook G4 running on OSX Version 10.4.11. I currently have an Iphone 3, but it cannot sync with my computer because it reverts back to a version so old that I can't even text photos. (I have itunes 9) I would like to get a new phone because mine constantly freezes up, but I figure what's the point of getting an iphone if it won't sync with my laptop. I can't even listen to music on my iphone! Is it possible to get an Iphone 4s to sync with a G4 Powerbook?
Hello,
Sadly not as an iPhone 4 running iOS 6 or above needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher to sync in iTunes.

Need a webcam for PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11 -- help!!!
Hi - i am looking for a webcam for my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. No Apple service center or other computer store in India has any idea of what camera could work. Logitech sells the QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac, but that is too expensive for me. The ones I liked (from Logitech) are the Webcam C200/C250M/C500/C600 and the QuickCam for Notebooks - though I don't know if any of these is compatible with my G4.
Any suggestions? I'm open to suppliers other than Logitech, as long as it does not cost more than $60.
Please help me ASAP - thanks in advanceHi raregem, and a warm welcome to the forums!

Using OS 9 on PowerBook G4 running OSX 10.5.8
I have a PowerBook G4 in good working order running OS 10.5.8.
I am trying to migrate upward Pagemaker 7 files from a MacPlus running OS 6. I have Adobe InDesign 2 on my PowerBook and this should open Pagemaker 7 files. I can put my Pagemaker 7 files onto a 1.4 diskette on the OS 6 system. Now I need to connect a 1.4 disk USB drive to my PowerBook to bring the Pagemaker 7 files into InDesign.
I have bought an Imation SuperDisk complete with its original installation disk. I have installed on my PowerBook G4 the Mac OS 9 support files from the original G4 installation disc. However, when I try to run the installation file, I get what I believe is an Apple message (not an Imation install message) that says: "You can't open this application because the classic environment is not longer supported." I suppose this is because I have upgraded from the original G4 OSX installation.
I suppose I could wipe the G4 clean and start over by installing the original OS that came with it with the OS 9 support files. However, even if I then get the Imagion disk drive working, I probably won''t be able to run InDesign in that original OS. Can you guide me?
Perhaps there is another way to move the Pagemaker 7 files from my MacPlus to my Powerbook G4? At the moment it is not connected to the internet and I do not know how to set that up. Or perhaps there is a computer to computer file transfer option?
Help greatly appreciated. I really want to move these old elaborate Pagemaker 7 files up into InDesign 2, thence to 3, 4 etc.that I have on my iMac and MacMini.
Thank you thank you!Careful what you call Classic.
Classic will not run under 10.5.
You have four options:
1. Firewire dual boot Mac OS X 9 & Mac OS X 10.5 on Macs that support Mac OS 9 booting:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1757
2. Firewire dual boot 10.4.11 & 10.5 installing Classic on the 10.4.11 drive.
3. Dual boot two partitions in 10.4.11 and 10.5, installing Classic on the 10.4.11, or just installing 9 on a machine that supports booting into Mac OS 9.
4. Dual boot two internal drives in 10.4.11 and 10.5, installing Classic on the 10.4.11, or just installing 9 on a machine that supports booting into Mac OS 9.
Booting is controlled through Apple menu -> System Preferences.
Classic has very limited driver support, whereas 9 booting supports the full array of Mac OS 9 drivers. -

Running under Windows XP, a few upgrades ago iTunes started opening without any text showing in the application. Clicking on PLAY will play music but no text shows to indicate what's playing and no text to show music library. Drop down windows show text but not the app itself.
Subsequent upgrades and reinstalls have not corrected the problem, When I run under iOS (Snow Leopard), iTunes opens with text and runs correctly.
Help!Because I created FAT32 partition using Boot Camp tool few days ago I installed my custom copy of Windows XP with SP3, IE7 and WMP10 integrated using nLite (for WMP10 integration use RVM Integrator). I did not use Boot Camp tool this time - I just booted CD using Option key. Then I installed Boot Camp 2.0 drivers you can find on Mac Disk 1. After this I installed Boot Camp drivers 2.1 update. In Add or remove Programs I checked drivers - I uninstalled old drivers which call identical, but you can skip this. Everything works fine BTW it is better to format your partition to NTFS - you have much less disk errors, you do not waste time for disk errors scans during Windows startup, your data are much more safe. If you need NTFS write permissions use great tool Paragon NTFS for Mac OSX or open source NTFS driver.

Accessing Gmail suddenly stopped working on both my Powerbook pro running latest OS and Mail versions and on my iPhone. I can access via the web. I get the error that my password or username is incorrect. I reset my password in Gmail and confirmed it works on gmail, I then changed it on my Iphone and Mac Mail. It still does not work. I deleted the gamil account on mail on my mac and reinstalled it and it still will not work
I too started having my password rejected in MAIL.app for imap.mail.me.com for my icloud email address. Can login to icloud with web browser fine. This has been happening off and on for several days.....if I wait 2-3 hours it will suddenly start working again, but then problem re-asserts itself ;-)

my Iphone 5s was working perfectly before downloading the IOS 8.0.1 and later IOS 8.0.2. When my Iphone run out of battery, I connected it to Itunes, however the phone never turned on, and kept trying to sync, however got an itunes failure message.
Any help in this regards please.Hello douraid,
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to take a charge. Once you get it powered back on, you will want to sync again to make sure nothing was lost during the attempted sync.
