Just got hold of a used Powerbook 15" notebook and need advices
Hello all and my first time in here
I'm an Engineer by trade and I know pretty much everything to do with Windows, Unix and Linux. Now, I like to get under the hood and get my hands dirty with Apple.
I just got hold of a used Powerbook 15" 550 MHz with 512MB and the version on it is 10.1.1. I know that the last FREE upgrade is version 10.1.5.
I like to install Jaguar version 10.2 and I know I can go either by upgrade or full install.
Is there a great step-by-step tutorial, visual guide on how to reset (format), install the OS and etc? You know... the basics.
Thanks in advance.
Hi HardTech, welcome to the forum!

Make sure your firmware is up to date also.

I just got a new MacbookPro using Mavericks OS. When I tried to load Filemaker Pro I got this message: You can't open the application Filemaker Pro.app because Power PC applications are no longer supported. This is a disaster.

The only viable solution is to upgrade to the latest versions of the PPC legacy software that will run under Mavericks.
Except for the other viable solution:
If you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to a version of Filemaker that runs natively under Mavercks, you can run your existing version of Filemaker by installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels:

I was away for 3 weeks and just got back. Put my Mac on charge and after 4 hours it still won't come on. Help

Had turned off all power supply incase a socket blew. (happened before) so my mbp was on sleep
You should have turned your MBP off! Keeping it on sleep w/o use for 3 weeks makes no sense. As others have already stated, you will need to take your comp to a repair shop. More than likely you need a new battery. -
Just got my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago and can't hear people on phone unless its on speaker phone.
I just got my iPhone 4 a few weeks ago and I love it so so so much but now today I can't hear anyone unless its on speaker and they can't hear me. I heard apple is better to talk to about this other than Verizon. I was wondering how much it'd cost to replace it from apple??? PLEASE HELP. I'm so desperate.
Did you try a hard reset on the phone by holding the power button and the home button for more than 10 -15 seconds? Then try to make a call.

Could you please let me know whether you are signed up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials.
Try saving those files to a different location on your system and check.

i have connected my phone to itunes and now my phone doesnt work its just got this thing stuck on my phone screen and i dont know how to fix it??
Wow I see from the other responses to similar questions that the phone may be jailbroken. I thought I was purchasing an unlocked phone that was legal to use with any system. What a disappointment, I will have to go back to where I purchased this phone and let them have an ear full.

I got 3.95GB available on my flash drive and need 4GB to reinstall lion osx how can i create space on usb using Disk Utility ??!
What is the capacity of the flash drive?
You might also be able to reinstall Lion without a flash drive, by booting up the computer holding the Command + R keys, and choosing Reinstall OS X. -
I just got a new phone today the iphone 5c and i plugged it into itunes. i wanted to get all of my data from my iphone 4s but when i synced my phone all of my iphone 3 data was on my new phone how do i get my iphone 4 data on my new phone?
Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

I just got a WD My Passport 1TB External Harddrive and i have already backed everything up to it but im still a little nervous about erasing things off the physical drive on my macbook pro since it says my disk utility is out of space an implying i need to erase items.
I cant find the options to erase selected items it only shows that i can erase everything.
I mean technically i suppose i could erase everything an have a fresh start since its backed up to my external. But what exactly are the specific items being erased?
I have bought the newest OS X 10.8.2 an worried that it will get erased also an end up having to repurchase it.
Can anyone help me?

If you are trying to delete some files get out of Disk Utility, it is not for that!
How did you backup and what are you trying to achieve?
Please post the exact error messages(s) you have received. -

Repeat. Just got a 'Mozilla' security alert on the PC, and something started a system scan.. IS THIS A TROJAN ATTACK ? I forced a power down and did system restore before coming here. I will run Ccleaner when I leave this site.
I have NEVER seen any Mozilla alert or mention of any system scan from Firefox. I have seen Trojan Hijacks, and deal with friends PC's for them, this looked similar.See https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Rogue_security_software
No, Firefox does not have built-in anti-virus feature, so your description can be correct. You may wish to try this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/wot-safe-browsing-tool/
