Nano - OS X Upgrade Needed - HELP!

Hey,
I need some help with my friends iPod Nano... she had an old 12" PowerBook which is running 10.3.9, but it says that it needs 10.4.9 or later.
The specs (from what I can remember) is 1GHz PowerPC G4, Memory: 256(?)MB Built-In
How can she upgrade to the one she's needing for the iPod Nano, she can't afford a new computer.
Now - I'm not sure if i can do this...
But when I got my PowerBook G4, it came with Panther installed, and came with the Tiger upgrade discs (2 of them), but I last October upgraded to Leopard - so the Tiger discs have just been sitting there... could I give her these disc to upgrade her computer to Tiger and she could get the rest (.9) from the software updates?
Or is there any other way she can get what she needs.

You cannot give her your discs to use, which probably would not work anyway. She can call AppleCare and through that route buy a retail copy of Tiger, or buy it from Amazon at a higher cost, or she could upgrade here memory on the PB to 1 GB and buy Leopard.
I'd recommend the latter suggestion.

  • Ipod nano 4gb trouble i need help badly

    hi im tom,
    i loaded my ipod nano 4gb on my puter and i wanted this song off my mate. he has a mac so i coneced it and i started loading his sond off itunes and im like ok the it said my ipod crashed. so i went home and pluged it into my puter and i went into itunes and i looked where your i pod pops up but it wasnt there. so i went into my computer and cliked on it then my puter half froze cause i cliked on it.
    wat should i do? ring the suport people?

    Hi Tom. First, since you use a PC and your mate uses a MAC your ipod was either going to have to be formatted for use on a MAC or for the PC. Unless I am mistaken you can't switch back and forth without reformatting. I guess since someone else will likely point this out, you also were trying to do something considered illegal file sharing by taking music from your mate for your own use.

    Take a look at the above link to see if that helps any. Pay attention to the reformatting part as that may be what you need to do.

  • Windows 8 to 8.1 upgrade [NEED HELP]

    Hello there guys! I need a bit of help here. I've received a message about "Upgrading from W8 to W8.1".

    Disabling the plugin WILL help on sites and pages that have already converted videos to HTML5 (MP4) format and no longer require FlashPlayer. WIth the plugin enabled, the page will default to playing the Flash version first, and it will crash if the plugin isn't working as it should. However, disabling the plugin will cause problems on pages that HAVEN'T been converted to HTML5 yet, and there are still quite a few of them out there.

  • IPod Nano Headphone Port Glitch, Need Help!

    I have an iPod nano 5th gen that was given to me on christmas, 2009. It worked fine for a year, but when I finally used headphones/earbuds that were not apple based my iPod started to glitch.
    The glitches are like this, I'll be listening to a song, and if I make any sudden movements that wiggle the headphone jack in the port, it will fast forward/skip/pause the song, I run so this is really annoying, I have cleaned my ipod, carefully cleaned the inside of the port, and made sure my headphone jacks are clean. I tracked it down to a side-to-side motion of the jack in the port, so it would seem that the male connector is short-circuiting the female part. I have contemplated taking apart my iPod, but that is my last resort. I have been waiting for a chance to go to an Apple store, and ask a genius about it, but since my computer isn't a 2 hour drive away I decided to ask here first.
    If you have any suggestions or answers please give them, I don't wan to buy any earbuds (which I need) until I can be sure they won't glitch my iPod. Also if you know how to take apart an iPod so I could check for dust or some sort of grit in the system that would be great as well.

    headphones/earbuds that were not apple based my iPod started to glitch.
    Contact the 3rd party vendor since it's their product.
    I don't wan to buy any earbuds (which I need) until I can be sure they won't glitch my iPod.
    Then use the earplugs that came with your iPod Nano.

  • Frustrated with upgrade - NEED HELP

    I had a problem on my PowerBook PowerPC G4 when I updated to Safari 3.1.1
    Safari, Mail and the Software update would no longer run.
    Tried everything to no avail.
    Did an archive system install back to 10.4.6
    Now I am unable to update to 10.4.11
    I downloaded the Installer Package and when I run it I get the prompt:
    "You cannot install Mac OS X Update (PowerPC) on this volume.
    This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    What am I doing wrong?

    Here's another suggestion that will help in the future:
    Basic Backup
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    8. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    9. Data Backup (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Although you can buy a complete FireWire drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
    Cool Drives
    OWC
    WiebeTech
    Firewire Direct
    California Drives
    NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Broadband upgrade, need help with speed please

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded from a very old broadband package with an old router from the 1960's to the 'upto 20meg' service, with the bloke on the phone advising we should receive about 17meg as we are close to the exchange (Worcester Park, Surrey).  So when the new kit arrived the speed jumped from 2megs to about 4ish and it's now settled on about 5 after 10 days.
    I've posted the stats below as i'm after some advice really because I can't make sense of it.  Am I missing something here or should I be getting faster speeds?
    Cheers

    Hi welcometo the forum
    You appear to have a stable connection however your connection speed is low for your line attenuation are you connected to the master socket ? Or an extension if you can connect to the test socket Located at the rear of the removable front plate of the master socket and recheck the hub stats and speedtest this wil eliminate any faults with your internal wiring also are you connecting the hub to your pc by wireless or ethernet cable if wireless could you try connecting by cable and again post the speed test results this will eliminate any speed losses due to wireless interference Please try these first then we can advise further

  • Dreamweaver upgrade - need Help

    I upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to CS5.
    My site is there.  But when I go to link a file that's on my computer, I get "Dynamicall-related files could not be resolved because the site definition is not correct for this server".
    What does that mean??

    How do I know if static or dynamic?  I'm a new dreamweaver user.
    Having a hard time right now.  Everything else seems to be correct?
    It may be that I didn't define the Local Site setting correct.  But I don't know what to change?

  • N73 Just upgraded need help

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded my software for my Nokia N73 now have V4.0726.2.0.1.
    I now cant recieve any text or put my memory card back in phone. keep getting data full, please delete some data.
    I dont know what to do.
    Thanks

    The other point, if you want to isolate a problem. Try borrow a MiniSD card from someone and put it in your phone. If it would be OK, then your card. If it wouldn't, then your phone. Try that.
