Keyboard upgrade for iBooks????

I have a G4 iBook and want to upgrade to a powerbook backlite keyboard or a smoke grey or black keyboard (for the TI powerbooks) is this possible, is it just a simple swap? ant info would be good...
Thanks

The 12' PowerBook an all iBooks are supposed to be cheap or "budget" portables. To keep this possible Apple probably decided it would be less cost effective to put a backlit keyboard in these models. And left it out to keep the price down. If you want you could try putting in your own fibre-optics. It would be a challenge and would void the warranty. But hey what fun...

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade but I have a new Apple ID, how can I make certain I don't lose any data in my iBooks?

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App. I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?

Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

Replacement keyboard for iBook G4 (M9419LL/A) 1.2GHz, 14"

I've seen three different P/Ns listed for iBook keyboards:
922-6637 (Late 2004)
922-6189 (Early 2004)
922-6913 (where does this one work)
I'm having difficulty locating any 922-6189 keyboards.
Does P/N 922-6913 support my (early 2004, M9419LL/A) G4, 1.2GHz, 14" iBook?
Thanks!

Hi and welcome, I looked at some of the more popular repair and part houses and it appears that all three are reconized as replacements for the iBook G4 early 2004 model. It might be just a slight color or transparency thing. You could do some more searching by just google-ing 922-6189.
Here is a offer from ebay:

Airport card for ibook G3

Can you install a wireless card for the ibook G3 Model: A1007?
I have a friend who wants to upgrade his ibook for his lady.
Thanks!
John M.

Yes I believe so if it is a white model. Its the older airport card (not the extreme). It slips into a slot under the keyboard. You can look under the keyboard by pulling the 2X little tabs just above the top key line and pulling the keyboard towards you.
Looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Airport-Card-Network-adapter/dp/B0000899ZD

Memory upgrade freezes iBook G3

Hello,
I just recently upgraded to Tiger 10.4.6 on my G3/800 mhz and the system works fine with the standard 256 RAM (128/128). However, when I installed a 512 RAM, the system would randomly freeze or just not start up at all. When I replaced the 128 stick, everything is back to normal and runs fine.
The system recognizes the 512 stick which places my total RAM at 640 MB.
Can you please expalin why this occurring.
Thank you,
Bryan

Hi, Bryan. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you got a bad (or incompatible) RAM
module. Ask the vendor for a replacement.
Hi,
I purchaced the 512 MB stick from MacMall.com. It's a 512MB PC100 SODIMM.
It said it was compatible for iBook/Pwrbook G3.
Before I send it back, I just wanted to make sure it was the right one.
Thank you for the for the feedback.
Bryan

I am trying to upgrade my iBook

I have an old iBook that used to have mac osx 10.2.8, but now I just downgraded to 9.1 because there was a password i couldn't get past. Now I want to upgrade back up to 10.2.8, but I can't
I tried the official cds, but the os said it isn't readable.
i put the update on my usb drive and tried that way, i got this error, ", "the application program could not be opened because an error type -39 occurred". How do I make this work? Is there anything i can download from the internet? like, if i were to use a torrent? I am using my pc now. :S
(it isn't illegal if i have the actual files)
Oh, and also, I tried booting off of the cd's, and that didn't work, is this a completely hopeless case?
Can you show me a better way of doing this?
also, can anyone direct me to a place where i can update my system software? such as the hdd, memory, and the processor. and no, i dont want to spend $100-300 to get it fixed up at the mac store, no thank you. I also want a way to record things on here, is that good?

Hi, Chessman.exe -
i put the update on my usb drive and tried that way, i got this error, ", "the application program could not be opened because an error type -39 occurred". How do I make this work?
For clarification, there is no update that will take OS 9 to any version of OSX.
OSX is a brand new breed of OS - it does not share the same roots that OS 9 has (OS 9 can trace its roots all the way back to OS 1), to the point that OS 9-native software can not be run in OSX, and vice versa.
OSX can ony be installed initially via a full-install disk set of some base version (base version = OSX 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, etc.), which boot the machine to OSX (since the OSX installer is an OSX-native program, it can not run in OS 9); upgrades to that base version can be downloaded and run while the machine is booted to that OSX version. For example, an upgrade to OSX 10.2.8 could be installed on top of an earlier version of OSX 10.2, but not on top of OSX 10.1.
Re the type -39 error -
That error is most commonly caused by Stuffit Expander intruding where it should not. The download is in a .smi (self-mounting image) or equivalent format, a format generated by Apple's Disk Copy. Stuffit Expander has ShrinkWrap technology built-in, which allows it to mount some kinds of disk images - but not those created by Apple for download upgrades/updates to Apple software. Yet ShrinkWrap tries to - hence the error message.
The solution - double-click Stuffit Expander, and open its Preferences (under the File menu). Select "Disk Images" from the list on the left, then turn off (uncheck) "Mount Disk Images". Quit Stuffit Expander.
Unfortunately, if the item in question is an upgrade for OSX, it will not be usable when the machine is booted to OS 9, nor for that matter when the machine is booted to any version of OSX not supported for that specific upgrade version - the OSX download upgrades are very specific as to what version(s) of OSX they can update. The download pages on Apple's website for each OSX download update describe the applicability of each download available.

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
You need much more RAM than that.

Windows 8 upgrade for z560??

When is the upgrade for z560 laptops expected?

I don't think we're going to get any, although I keep checking back to the drivers page and here to see if there are any changes. The compatibility page doesn't list the z560 as being compatible, but it doesn't list it as being not compatible either.
I clean installed Windows 8 Pro from the retail box I purchased and added the Windows Media Center free upgrade to it. I've found that as long as we install a few drivers on our own the z560 is absolutely compatible.
I needed the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers, the Nvidia drivers (which include their HDMI HD Audio driver) since I have the model with the Nvidia graphics, the Synapic touchpad driver, the Lenovo Power Management software for Windows 8 (with some files patched over from the Windows 7 version), and the Lenovo YouCam software from Windows 7 (which includes a couple of webcam related drivers that eliminate an unknown device from the Windows 8 Device Manager.)
I got all that stuff from the separate manufacturers websites. The only thing we miss is One Key Theatre. Don't bother installing that or any of the other software or drivers from the Lenovo download page as they either don't work if they install, don't install,. or destabalize the system once installed.
http://www.alltechtalk.net/forum/thread-fix-lenovo-ideapad-s-touch-sensitive-buttons-on-windows-8
That link is to the instructions regarding the Lenovo Power Management software. It'll get most of our keyboard buttons working. The high speed dust blowout fan works with the keyboard button but not from the icon in the new software. But I found that the software is doing the job of managing the battery just fine.
When you start the Lenovo/Cyberlink YouCam software it'll offer an update to 3.1 and also an offer to upgrade to a newer version. The Lenovo update is all we need. It's the free one.
I tried several conexant audio updates. None work so don't bother. Microsoft's driver runs the audio fine and if you really want something like the dolby headphone or bass boost stuff their driver has similar sounding features built in to their audio panel speaker properties. Now, the Windows 7 Lenovo/Conexant driver will install but the on by default dolby enhancements make Windows report that its interfering with things and offers to turn them off. So it's really not compatible. None of the newer Conexant Lenovo Windows 8 offerings for their other laptops even with the same chipset are compatible even if one forces a manual install. They'll crash Windows so don't do it!
The Synaptic driver is actually terrific. It lets you take advantage of the Windows 8 swiping stuff. I changed the 2 finger verticle scroll back to the right edge scroll, and bottom edge for horizontal. That just feels more comfortable on the z560 touchpad. The Lenovo Windows 8 driver is older than the new and improved one on the Synapic website, which works better.
Okay, the One Key Recovery is also a non-starter unless you set it up as described on another post at the alltechtalk forum. But i didn't bother because Windows 8 now comes with its own recovery stuff built in.
If you want to upgrade you should uninstall all the stuff listed on Lenovo's Windows 8 Ideapad compatibility page. But really, just tell the Windows installer to clean install. You'll be happier.

Where do I find upgrades for my imac G4, 800 mhz for OSX?

I have an IMAC G4 that is currently running OS X 10.2.8
I need to upgrade my safari since it mis-reads some pages when using this IMAC. But I can't upgrade safari unless I can upgrade the OS X.
I can find upgrades for 10.3.9 but can't install without upgrading to 10.3.
No where on the apple website is there an upgrade to bring my 10.2.8 into the 10.3. Was this a major upgrade that required a purchase?
My other mac is an ibook, running 10.3.9. Ideas on how I can find this other upgrade for my imac?

Hello Kathy:
OS X 10.2.8 is the last one in that release.
"No where on the apple website is there an upgrade to bring my 10.2.8 into the 10.3. Was this a major upgrade that required a purchase?"
The answer to this question is yes OS X 10.3 is a new release of OS X.
If you are considering upgrading, I would consider OS X 10.4 The new Safari (2.0.1) is faster and has an RSS reader. You can go directly from where you are (10.2.8) to Tiger (OS X 10.4). I would suggest an archive and install if you decide to proceed:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120.
Your iBook no doubt came with 10.3 installed. In addition to being illegal (according to the license agreement) your iBook install software would probably not work on your iMac. If you wish to get OS X 10.4, purchase a 'family' license. In that way, you may legally install on up to five computers in your household.

Is there an upgrade for dictionary 10.1?

is there an upgrade for dictionary 10.1. i'm using snow leopard now and the dictionary will not allow me to check spelling

To see the version of Dictionary open Dictionary and in the Dictionary Menu choose About Dictionary, that is where you will find the current version. Your profile indicates you are OS X 10.6.6, if that is correct then I'd recommend your update your system. Before updating first backup using Time Machine or a Bootable Clone. Then disconnect all peripherals except the keyboard and mouse. Next download 10.6.8 Update Combo from
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then install the Update Combo (it will be in your downloads folder) following the on-screen instructions.
After you have installed the Update Combo you will have the most up-to-date version of OS X which includes Dictionary.

T61: Keyboard Customizer for Windows 7

Hello Everyone,
today I upgraded from Windows XP(32bit) to Windows 7 (64bit). After setting up the operating system I used Lenovo System Update to install all necessary drivers etc. But finally I recognized, that there is no "Keyboard Customizer for Windows 7" on the Lenovo website . In the office I'm using my laptop in an advanced minidock and have an external keyboard (Lenovo Enhanced USB keyboard) for input.
Using the Keyboard Customizer it was possible to emulate the missing Fn-Button on the external keyboard for example using Strg+Alt+Fx. This way it was possible to use all the combinations of Fn+F2 to Fn+F12 with an external keyboard.
What can I do to get this functionality on Windows 7 systems?
There is not installer in the download section for T61 (only Windows XP and Windows Vista). Does anyone know if Lenovo will provide one later on or if the Version for Windows Vista can be used?
Kind Regards
KingTutt
PS: There is also no Presentation Director for Windows 7.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
Have you tried running the ThinkVantage System Update program to update any Windows Vista-era ThinkVantage software on your T61 to their applicable Windows 7 counterparts?
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

Keyboard shortcut for adjusting exposure causes image to black out for a short time.

Hi everyone,
I have always used the mouse and slider for adjust things in the develop module. I know started using the keyboard shortcuts for faster editing as sugested by everyone and I do like it. My problem is when i adjust any slider with the + or - keys my picture completely blacks out for a moment then comes back with the adjustment made. This is frustrating and completely defeats the purpose of using keyboard shortcuts for speed.
The only changes I made is I upgraded from a very old dell dimensions computer to a new alienware X51 computer. I am using lightroom 4.4 64bit and a HDMI connection to my monitor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Cj,
My guess that there is some other hot keys attached to '+' & '-' keys on your keyboard.
Try to put your system in clean boot and try to launch Lightroom and see if the issue still occurs.
If you dont get the issue any more go ahead and isolate the app which is causing issue by following divide and rule method on the apps.

Upgrading from ibook g4 to Tiger

I recently decided to help my girlfriend upgrade her ibook g4's OS to Tiger, since she's running 10.3.9 and can't update to the newest version of iTunes. I made sure her computer met all the necessary technical requirements as per apple's website, then proceeded to buy the OS on ebay. When the disks came I noticed that they read "Macbook install disk", but since apple's website hadn't made any differentiation between a macbook and an ibook on its' requirements page I didn't think too much of it. I backed the computer up and then attempted to install the new OS. After shutting down and restarting, the normal grey apple screen came on, but after a couple seconds a large display appearead which read "Your computer needs to be restarted, etc.", and over this screen was all sorts of fragmented code, including a message saying a driver couldn't be found, blah blah blah. I figured this meant wrong type of install disk. Does anyone know if I can even find a version of this more recent OS which will work on an ibook?

Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) (See Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac? ). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
Also check these web stores: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521 http://www.allmac.com/shop/index.php?cPath=5_10003
Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD . It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.
 Cheers, Tom

HT6114 can i still upgrade my ibook g4 mac 10.4 software

I would like to know if it is still possible to upgrade the software for ibook g4 mac 10.4.11?

Yes, but only to 10.5.8. Buy a retail DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay.
