Need a new display to repair my iBook G4
I´m new here and from Germany...
Where can I order / buy here an iBook G4 Display 14 inch :-)
Does anybody has an Webshop adress for me?
Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
A display may cost more than the iBook is worth:

Hi, you might call Apple with it's serial# handy & see if they have original replacement discs, other than that...

I'm tearing my hair out! I need a display which will work with my Macbook Pro, which is a year old. Sadly I can't get the 24" Apple Cinema Display because my Macbook Pro doesn't have a mini DisplayPort so it's not compatible.
I need a good quality screen with good resolution because I am a designer and will be doing Photoshop work. I did loads of research and found out that screens with S-IPS technology were the best. However, they are few and far between. I thought I had found my perfect screen in the LG W2600H, then discovered it had no speakers or stereo jacks.
What am I looking for?
Good quality screen and resolution - professional quality, but not necessarily artworking standard.
S-IPS if possible.
Prepared to pay up to £500 for an excellent screen.
Either speakers or stereo jacks.
Macbook Pro compatible
Please help!!!!!!No it can not. Thankfully now there's an app for that. SwitchResX
sorry i can't show you a picture.
I don't recommend getting this laptop because of all the problems i see on the forums daily. Mostly Screen problems. If i were you and this was not an extreme necessity i would hold out till they get all the bugs out. -
"Macintosh HD could not be repaired"... Do I need a new hard drive?
So my macbook pro when I turn it on goes straight to the apple screen like normal, then it just sits there and loads forever.
I then booted it with the Disk Utility and tried Verifying and Repairing the disk (I selected my hard drive). The repair couldn't be completed and it said that "The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired." I tried it a couple times with the same result.
Then I booted in Safe Mode and ran the "fsck -fy" in which I got a series of errors in response. The following is what I got back:
"Invalid leaf record count
(It should be 283 instead of 287)
**Checking catalog file.
Invalid sibling link
(4, 26092)
**Rebuilding catalog B-tree.
**The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired."
I did a little bit of research on similar problems and everything has said that the hard drive is crashed and that I will need a new one.
Suggestions said to clone the hard drive to hopefully not use the files but that ultimately I need to buy a new one from The Apple Store.
Does anyone have any input as to how I should go about fixing this, keeping the files, and maybe not having to buy a new hard drive? Or what do I need to do to go about having a running computer?I don't believe that the evidence you have presented necessarily indicates a physical failue of the drive; neither does it disprove it. What we do know is that crucial data structures on the disk have been corrupted.
Ideally, you have a current backup of your data (could be via Time Machine, disk cloning software, and/or online backup; multiple backups would be even better). If so, try reformatting the drive (while booted from your recovery partition if your system is new enough or the disks that came with your older system), reinstalling the system, and restoring from the backup. That should suffice if there is no hardware problem and your backups were from before the corruption.
Let us know if that helps. If you need further assistance, please let us know the model and year of your MacBook Pro and the version of [Mac] OS X you have been running on it. -

I have an iBook G4 PPC. I need a new printer, but my OS isn't supported by any...Can I update to a newer version?
Hello, there are printers available, especially ones that use Postscript, is it Laser or Inkjet you're looking for?
Highest you can go is 10.5.8
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
May be available from Apple again...

Frustrated with my Mac book pro. It's 4 yrs old and I've taken it in 3 times this year for different issues. Just last week they said my Cd Rom has packed it in. As of this week, I can't connect to wifi or get any of my applications to respond. Also won't hold a charge :(. Is it possible I need a new one? I paid 2200.00 for thus one. Seems like it should last longer than that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

IBooks means iTunes Info needs some new fields
Hope Apple reviews these. Now, the Info about iTunes items needs some new fields to reflect books. Specifically, it could use Editor, Author(s), Publisher, Edition, Copyright Date, and ISBN.

Should I repair an Ibook logic board
I can have a 12 inch ibook 1.2ghz if I pay to repair it. It was just 14 months old, had been treated with great respect, when the logic board failed. Needless to say its owner had not purchased any extended warranty. Its owner purchased a new macbook and put the ibook in a drawer because he decided it was not worth the repair. I would use this ibook to replace my old Powerbook 3400c that died finally. I see on the forums that logic board failure is a problem with ibooks and that many people replace one only to have it fail. My question is whether it is worth replacing this ibook logic board? Is there a generic problem with the reliability of these logic boards, so that subsequent failure is a hit or miss thing? Or does their failure result from other factors so that an ibook that has one logic board fail may have an underlying cause that will lead to subsequent failures? Is this computer worth saving?
I see on the forums that logic board failure is a problem with ibooks and that many people replace one only to have it fail.Although there have been some failures the absolute majority of iBook G4 users have not had any type of logic board failure.
Is there a generic problem with the reliability of these logic boards...
No
Is this computer worth saving?
You will need to look at the cost of replacing the logic board versus buying a new/refurbished iBook G4 or new MacBook. -
I just dropped my Powerbook G4, the Titanium model, earlier today and it looks like the screen is broken so I reckon I'll need a new one. Does anyone think it would be better to get one of the new intel ones or the current 15" model? They are the same price but the older one has a dual layer burner and I would need to get updates for all my programs to work on the new machine. Any advise would be great, thanks
FBefore you go out and drop a big wad of cash on a new Powerbook that you may not need right now, consider replacing your TiBook display. Here's a link to a place that does it in 3 days for about $550:
http://www.powerbookresq.com/detail.php?prodID=P010397
I'm assuming you have a 1GHz TiBook, which the above link applies to. If you have a slower model, you might want to ignore this post and everything I'm saying below. Anything slower than a 1GHz TiBook would probably not be worth fixing at this point. But if you DO have a 1GHz model, keep reading.
I have no affiliation with Powerbookresq, and I have nothing to gain from telling you about them. One of my work buddies sent her 'book in recently (a 15-inch AlBook) and they did a great job. From the time she called them to the time she got it back was only 3 days. Overnight shipping, both ways, is included in the price.
I am 100% in favor of the idea of buying a new Powerbook, especially since TiBooks are pretty long in the tooth these days. But I also think a $550 investment in repairing your TiBook and waiting 6 months or so before buying a new MacTel 'book makes more sense right now. Let someone else find the bugs (if there are any to find), let Apple fix them, and buy a 2nd generation MacTel 'book over the summer!
Besides, if you fix your TiBook, you'll always have a solid backup 'book if you ever need one, and $550 would be worth it.
Good luck, whatever you decide to do. -
New logic board, and new display, but now completely dead.
Hi guys,
I've got an iBook G3, running 10.3.9.
In December 2006, the logic board failed, so I bought a MacBook, because I didn't have time to be offline waiting weeks for Apple to replace the iBook's logic board.
After much badgering, Apple reluctantly replaced the iBook's logic board under the extended warranty program.
While the iBook was with the Apple repair store, they replaced the display for new as well, even though I didn't ask them to, and even though I wasn't charged for it.
I presume that was because the store discovered that the display was duff enough to be replaced under another extended warranty program.
When I got the "repaired" unit home, with a brand new logic board, and a brand new display, I turned it on, and it seemed to be working fine, so I turned it off, and continued to use my MacBook.
A few weeks ago, the second logic board on my MacBook failed (another long horror story entirely), so I began using the iBook for the first time since it had been "repaired" some six months earlier.
Almost immediately, the iBook began exhibiting a major problem, specifically that I'd be typing away, and suddenly the display would go black.
I could just about see the icons and documents on the screen, but the unit was unusable.
So I pulled restarts, full shutdowns, disk utility, zapped the PRAM, etc, all to no avail.
It seemed to be an intermittent problem.
For example, sometimes, from a cold start, the unit would work for two or three hours until the display went black.
Other times, I'd pull a cold start, and it would go straight to the black display.
By chance, I discovered that if I gave the iBook a shake, the display would come back on.
But then it would go black after a second or two.
And then with another shake, it would come back on for a second or two.
And then it would go black after a second or two.
And then with another shake, it would come back on, sometimes for a couple of hours at a time.
So I figured that it must be a cable which, during the installation of the logic board, and/or the new display, wasn't seated correctly by the technician.
I phoned Apple, and told them about it.
They said that because I had reported the issue beyond 90 days since the logic board had been replaced, it was no longer Apple's problem.
I explained to Apple that I hadn't used the iBook for six months, because I had a MacBook.
After much badgering, Apple has agreed to replace the logic board if it's faulty.
However, Apple has refused to replace the NEW display, even if that's also faulty.
Apple is also insisting that I have to pay all the labor charges.
Meanwhile, I've noticed that the iBook is now incredibly hot.
I mean, the MacBook is infamous for running hot, but this "repaired" iBook makes my MacBook feel like a block of ice by comparison.
I don't remember the iBook running so extremely hot before the "repair."
Which has made me notice that during the last few weeks, I've never heard the iBook's fan come on.
I presume that an iBook has a fan ?
Please confirm.
Therefore, another loose cable ?
Today, the display went black again, as usual.
So I gave the iBook a shake.
But this time, nothing happened.
No display.
No fan.
No hard drive spinning.
Just silent and dead.
What do you reckon, guys ?
Duff logic board ?
And/or duff display ?
And/or duff fan ?
And/or duff cabling by the technician ?
As far as I'm concerned, I don't see why I should have to pay for yet another repair, to correct hardware and/or workmanship which was so bad that after only three weeks of ACTUAL use since the "repair", the unit is now completely dead.
All opinions and advice gratefully received.
With thanks and best wishes,
Michael
London, EnglandHi S,
Many thanks for your helpful and swift response.
I agree with you regarding the likelihood that these problems would have surfaced immediately during normal usage, regardless of how much or little time had passed since the repair.
As advised, I will inform Apple Customer Relations UK about the new developments.
Indeed, when I resubmit the iBook, I'll include a print-out of this discussion.
I agree with you about the fan.
Prior to the failure of the first logic board, I ran that iBook for YEARS, without noticing any heat issue.
Indeed, if there had been such incredible heat, then I'd have searched these discussion boards, and reported it to Apple HQ.
Therefore, the astonishing heat is definitely a new development since the "repair."
Consequently, I take on board your comments about the lack of a working fan since the "repair", which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
As for running the Apple Hardware Test, the unit is completely dead.
The power cable is green, but the unit is now completely silent and black.
I also note your suggestions regarding the cable which connects the display to the rest of the unit, which I shall also mention to Apple HQ.
No repair sheet was ever given to me by the Apple Repair Centre (ARC).
Indeed, no receipt was ever given to me when I delivered the unit to the ARC, nor was any paperwork ever given to me when I collected the unit from the ARC.
However, Apple HQ can see on their screen that the logic board and display were both replaced for new by the ARC.
What else was and wasn't done by the ARC is a mystery.
I'll phone the ARC and ask for copies of any and all paperwork, so that I can submit it all to Apple HQ, which I note is your recommended option, rather than returning the unit to the ARC.
However, the complicating factor is that with the exception of the logic board, it is my understanding that Apple is denying any liability on any part of the "repaired" unit, including the brand new display.
If I understand Apple HQ correctly, they're now saying that all other hardware and labor costs will be mine.
I'm sure I could buy a WORKING second-hand iBook G3 for the same price as a repair, if not cheaper.
Therefore, perhaps I should return the unit to the ARC, and give them the opportunity to correct their previous workmanship, at their OWN cost.
Because as far as I'm concerned, the ARC had two customers during the repair: Apple and the end-user, as evidenced by the fact that the ARC has invoiced its first customer Apple for workmanship which was clearly not up to Apple's own standards, and the ARC has then delivered the unit to its second customer, the end-user.
In addition, regardless of Apple's 90 day warranty on repaired hardware, UK law includes the Sale of Goods Act 1979, and other relevant legislation: http://www.dti.gov.uk/consumers/fact-sheets/page38311.html
Furthermore, if the ARC is completely unhelpful, I could jump all over them, by writing to Apple HQ, with cc's to the UK editions of MacWorld, MacFormat, and MacUser magazines.
As advised, if the unit goes to Apple HQ, I will suggest that the unit is looked at carefully during disassembly, to see if errors were made during the ARC "repair."
I'm always polite when on the phone to Apple, because I love the company so much.
Indeed, even though during the last twelve months, I've been having very bad luck with the iBook, as well as with a MacBook which has exhibited so many problems that Apple has now agreed to replace old for new, I still love my Mac.
And joy, sweet joy, I've just seen on the TNT courier's tracker website, that my replacement MacBook, built by Apple in Singapore, then flown to Arnhem in Germany, then flown to Northampton UK, then delivered to Heathrow UK, left the Heathrow depot 30 minutes ago, for delivery to the customer.
And the sun is shining.
Thank you again for all your kind and wise advice.
With best wishes,
Michael

Numbers sp sheet is shared. Both user systems on same rev of Numbers.
I have latest version of Numbers (3.1) but when I try to open a Numbers sp. sheet it says I need a newer version. There is no newer version available.
The files get info box says to open it with Numbers 3.1 (default). Other user has no problem opening the file.
What to do next?Hi mwalk,
Try this.
Launchpad (second page) Disk Utility
Or if you can't find it there,
Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Storage > Disc Utility
Select Macintosh HD and Repair Permissions.

OK, this is the first time I have used this so I may not have started correctly, so here goes another try. I opened a Numbers Document and noticed the presentation was different from when I worked it before. Since there have been a number of auto updates since I had worked in Numbers, I assumed I had an updated program. I found it hard to figure out so I closed the document and went on to other things. When I went back to it I found a message saying I needed a newer version of the program to open it. Fortunately, the document was backed up and when I opened the backup it came in my familiar form. I have not purchased the new version of Numbers but suspect that is what was using for that brief period yesterday. Anyone know haw that happened?
Hi Sailor,
It is pretty amazing you got a new version without even knowing it.
In System Preferences > App Store you can turn off the automatic updates by unchecking "Install app updates" as I've done here:
If you're using Numbers across platforms and displaying dynamic output on the iPad or doing data entry there, you'll be *much* happier with Numbers 3.0 than the old version. If you're doing a lot of traditional printing of heavily formatted documents, the old version is much better. For most day-to-day uses in between it's a toss-up. The new version, despite its flaws, is a powerful application that can enhance productivity in ways the old version can't.
For more on the differences between the two, see the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads, plus Apple's support document on features to be reintroduced in the coming months .

Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds. I have used itunes to restore and also recover. Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer. The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not. Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged. Any thoughts?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself. -
How do you know if you need a new iPod touch battery
Ok so a couple of days ago I put my ipod on the charger and it was charging but itwas starting to get really hot so I just disconnected it. When i disconnectd it it was fully charged but when i went to go use it it was only 2% left so i just it die (it was already doing that) So yesterday morning i connected it to its charger and the sign with the red battery and the lighting bolt showed up and it stayed on the charger for about three hours then when i went to go check it the same sign was there so i just took it off the charger for the day so i connected it again and its does the same i tried holding the power and homw buttons together and all it does is blink off and show the same sign does this mean i need a new one? P.S about a month ago i did drop it in water and i sat it in rice for two days and it started working just fine after.
- You can get a new one. You will get a 10% recycling discount if you purchase a new one and turn the old one in.
- You can also exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price.
