Just bought 1Ghz powerbook but...

Got it from shop in Akihabara (sofmap for those that know), it was super cheap compared to the rest because of no box, data on the HDD (even though it's guaranteed) or OSX install cds. (¥50,000)
Wow i thought, it's ok about the OSX because i have an iMac at home with Tiger install disks (I know it's not 100% legit, but i figured the powerbook came with a copy of Tiger, so using my iMac's install cd is just a shortcut as I am not really cheating Apple as this computer should have Tiger).
But upon loading said installation cd, it says I don't have the drivers and does a kernal panic thingy!
Is there any way i can solve this?
I want to be legit, so please don't bash me.

You have a few options here:
1) Purchase Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) Apple's latest operating system. Your PowerBook does meet the minimum system requirements.
2) Contact Apple tech support and get them to send you, for a small fee, the original system disks that came with the PowerBook. The 1GHz PowerBook shipped originally with Mac OS X 10.2.7 and much earlier versions of applications such as iMovie, iDVD, etc. Note that this machine shipped in 2003, so it is possible that the disks do not still exist in inventory.
3) If you want Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) you CAN still get it, but the only place to get it is from Apple's phone support agents. Call (in the US, at least) (800) 275-2273. Note that it does not come on CDs, but DVD. I do not know if it is available in Japan, sorry.

I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?

To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

I just bought RAR Extractor, but it doesn't work in my ipad. E-mail attached photographs can not be opened in "open-in"

I just bought RAR Extractor, but it doesn't work in my ipad. E-mail attached photographs came in .rar format. I checked Apples Store and found RAR Extractor. I bought, installed, erased, reinstalled again but I still can not see the photos. They seem to be existing in "open-in" folder. When I tap, it goes back to "Home" screen.

Have you contacted the developer? They would be the best people to help with their product.

This same thing happend to me, you have to make a new account and you have to chose your birthday as if your under 18 or 16, because if you dont own a credit card, you shouldnt be over this age, so basictly just make a new email and appleID and when you chose your birthday, do it under 16 years of age (or your REAL birthday) and you should have an option of clicking "none" for credit card options, but if you want to buy something, you will have to do the credit card stuff, or you can just buy an apple gift card at basictly any store, So this is how i fixed my problum, i hope it works for you, write back your responce of how it worked out please!

FaceTime is not available in the UAE so it is not on your iPad. It is restricted there.

I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar from my iPhone 3GS to my iTunes, I have tried everything, even the icloud doesn't seem to do it.

I have just bought a MacBook but can't seem to sync my Contacts or Calendar to the Address Book or iCal via iTunes, I have tried everything including watching support videos and putting this into a search engine. Even icloud doesn't seem to be doing it.

If you are trying to sync via iCloud, make sure your MacBook is running OSX Lion 10.7.7, and that you have set up your iPhone as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and you MacBook as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.htm (including turning On Contacts and Calendars as shown in step 3). If you're syncing via iCloud don't check to sync in iTunes too (on the Info tab in iTunes) or you may end up with duplicate data.

Sounds like you have multiple Apple IDs, which causes a myriad of issues. Go here to straighten it out. Be forewarned that it's a pain.

HT5621 I have recently just bought an iPad but before I purchase anything I need to answer my security questions, I don't remember the answers, I went to forgotten my security questions answers but them email was sent to my old email address

I have recently just bought an iPad but before I purchase anything I need to answer my security questions, I don't remember the answers, I went to forgotten my security questions answers but them email was sent to my old email address

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I just bought v10.7lion but when I try to install it comes with this error message:"Install Failed"...try to install again. Now I've been restarting over and over again. What should I do?

JPPI-
Did you try it with the iTunes your Mac already has?
Try running Software Update in your System Preferences. That should bring your computer up to the latest software available for 10.4. You would end up with an older version of iTunes, but that may be good enough to activate your iPad.

I just bought an album but the music is no where to be found yet the money was from my account like if it was purchased. How do i get my music?

I just bought an album but a screen came up saying that i need to verify my account through security questions. Initially I didnt get the answers right to the questions so itunes locked me out. When i went to see if the music downloaded, it didnt. But from the amount left on my giftcard, it's clear that the album had been bought. I looked in the "downloaded" section and cant find this album. I even tried rebuying the album to see if it would resume its download but it was going to completely rebuy it.
Please help me receive the music I bought.
thanks

I'm not sure I just know that you can call the 1-800 number. I think you can chat but am not sure how to do so.

I have just bought snow leopard, but my computor tells me i am not a intel based mac help

I have just bought snow leopard . but my computer tells me it is no good as my computer is not a intel based mac

I am sorry to hear about your unfortunate mistake Catri. It should not be too difficult to sell your DVD for slightly less than you paid for it. It is too late to help you now but the following may help others reading this post.
Many people are happy with OS X 10.5.8 but if you want to update here is my general advice:
To get information about your Mac click the apple (screen top left) and select About this Mac. This will give you your OS number. Then click More Info to see which Processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above as these OSs are for Intel only. You can discover more about various Macs at: http://www.apple-history.com/
The OS numbers and names are:
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that.
You can buy Snow Leopard here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
For details about upgrading this to Lion or Mountain Lion see:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
In each case check that your Mac complies with the requirements.
If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of the page.
