Need help buying ibook from ebay please :-)

Hi there
I am rather new to mac but I am getting on with it well. But at the moment I have a imac and g4 power mac which are taking up abit of space so I would like to get something smaller so a ibook would be good. I don't really want to buy one new as I am not a heavy mac user but would like it to be nice a nippy with most of the bits. Can anyone put me the right direction and tell me what I need to go for please.
Many thanks
Daryll

The two main things to look out for:
1. Are the original disks included? This is important for troubleshooting issues with your new Mac or maybe doing an erase & install right from scratch. This would also include things like the Apple Hardware Test that isn't available from a retail copy of Mac OS X.
2. What is the warranty situation? Is the computer less than a year old so it's still covered by the original warranty? If so, you could purchase an AppleCare Protection Plan for it and extend the warranty to three years from the original purchase date. If it has an AppleCare Protection Plan, then the current owner can send a letter to AppleCare and have the plan transfered to you. If the computer is more than a year old and doesn't have an AppleCare Protection Plan, then you may have no choice but to pay for any repairs that may come up.

  • When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer, and so as my password consists of numbers, letters and symbols my ipad keeps showing that my password is incorrect! Is there any way around this problem please?

    When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer keyboard, and since my password consists of letters, numbers and symbols, the ipad keeps displaying "incorrect password". Is there any way around this please anybody?

    Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
    Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character?

  • I need help buying iPhoto photo album.

    I need help buying iPhoto  photo album. iPhoto was built in to my iMac. I am supposed to be able to make picture albums using my photos. It won't let me purchase the photo album i just made. I can't find any kind of help anywhere. Please help

    If you have iPhoto '08 or older it is no longer supported for print products
    If you have iPhoto '09 or '11 reboot, launch iphoto and
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If the preview s good and you can not order boot into safe mode, preview again and order

  • Need help coping project from one computer to another.

    I need help coping project from one computer to another.  I loaded all video on computer 1, copied events and project folder to computer 2.  I was told I only needed to copy the project folder back to computer 1 since the events folder is already there.   I copied project folder back to computer 1 but the files wont open.  I dont have computer 2 available. 
    Please help!!!

    Hi
    No that's not the way to do it - iMovie gets confused and in some cases the problems might be un-repairable.
    You've got several problems
    • iMovie'08 - CAN NOT MOVE PROJCTS - You NEED iMovie'09 or iMovie'11 - I see no other working solution
    • Never MOVE or alter any folder named
    iMovie Projects - or -
    iMovie Events
    on DeskTop/Finder - This might be very harmful
    • Moving (Projects) and Events - HAS TO be done within the iMovie Application.
    You've got an Evets window and here You can view Your Events in two ways - Yearly - or - Yearly per Hard disk
    Here You can move within this "window" to another location
    • Projects - NO they do not contain Your full movie - only a document on howto use the material in Event folder
    and there might be worse if You added Photos from iPhoto and Audio from iTunes/Garageband - then You have
    to get this over to the second Mac too, to be able to continue editing.
    So to move Your projects to another Mac You need
    • iMovie'09 or 11
    • an external hard disk -
    MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
    Should be a FireWire one - as UBS/UBS2 performs badly when used for video
    • Then move/copy over within Project resp Events window in iMovie Application
    Hopefully I've been not to confusing or badly structured to be followed.
    Yours Bengt W

  • TS1389 I need help removing UAC from itunes..

    I need help removing UAC from itunes so it will not allow me to open itunes. Everything I have read from other comments that you shouldn't turn off your user account control. I just to be able to open itunes. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Greg, ogrady612@yahoo,com

    I had this problem too but you do not need UAC to be turned on.
    Click on start and search for 'uac' in the search box at the bottom and click on 'Change User Account Control Settings' when it comes up. Move the slider to the bottom when the window appears and save the changes and your done!
    It's worked for me and my uac has been off for months without causing me any problems!
    Hope this helped

  • New Ibook from ebay will only show power coming from battery

    Hi, just got an Ibook G4 from ebay, everything seems to work fine but when I plug it in to charge and such it doesn't recognize it as being plugged in, it still runs from the battery.
    When I went to do a software update it gave a message saying that it wasn't plugged into a power source.
    Thoughts?
    Maybe the power cord is just bad?

    brownrecluse:
    As Richard has suggested, I would begin by checking the external power supply. If you can't borrow one from a friend, take your computer down to the Apple Store and have them test it with one of their power supplies. If it charges the battery, you will need to buy a new power supply. Contact your eBay seller and tell them you got a bum power supply. They should make it good.
    If, however, a known good power supply does not charge the battery, it could be the DC-in board or some other internal issue, as Richard noted. This could be a difficult process, so I suggest contacting the seller and letting them know that you are having issues. Again, ask them to get it fixed or take the computer back and return the money. Unless you are familiar with the insides of the iBook G4, that would be the route, or else you would need to get a professional to troubleshoot and repair it.

  • I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

    hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

    Hello Markatkis,
    Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
    If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
    Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/
