Need instructions on how to order Tiger

I have the following system:
PowerBook G4 (3.3) 17-inch
Serial Number V73161WXMVZ
OS 10.3.9
1 MB DDR SDRAM
55.88 GB hard drive with 6.2 GB free
I want to upgrade to at least Tiger (10.4) or maybe even Leopard (10.5) if my system will support it.  I will be doing an "Archive and Install" protocol.
I have found a couple of other discussions (one from January of this year) regarding this situation, but the devil is in the details, which are missing.
Who do I contact (phone preferred; email acceptable) to arrange to get the latest version of OS which will run on my system.  Does the software come on a CD(s) or DVD?  I'm not sure if my system can read a DVD.  Hopefully an Apple guru can tell from the system info I have provided.
If the software comes on a DVD, and my system won't read a DVD, then I need a version of the software I can download and install.  I also have Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8 on the same network, so a network installation can be done, but I will need step-by-step instructions for doing this.
Thanks,
Cheri

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The Leopard installer is on a DVD. You need to increase the amount of free space on your hard drive before installing Leopard. Your HD will be almost full if you install Leopard & you risk disk corruption & slow operation.

    Need instruction for how to import photos and videos from my Samsung cell phone to iPhoto.  Thx

    Copy the files to the Mac and then drag them to the iPhoto window, or use the File -> Add to Library command
    As for how to connect the phone and the Mac, for that you'll need to read the manual for the phone or seek support from a Samsung or Android (that's the operating system) site.

  • I have 220 photos on my camera. I want to create 6 different folders for a download. Can this be done? I need instructions on how to do this.

    I have 220 photos on my camera to be downloaded to Lightroom. I want to organize them in 6 different folders. Can this be done?  I need instructions to do this.

    You cannot direct a single Copy Import operation from your card into multiple folders, but you can either import multiple times, selecting different photos each time from the Import grid, and specifying a different destination, or you can import everything into one folder, then use drag-and-drop in LR with different selections of photos into various folders you create within LR’s Library module folder panel.  As long as you do the folder creating and photo moving within LR then LR will know where the photos have been moved to.
    What I do is move the photos into multiple folders on the card, itself, outside of LR, using Explorer’s thumbnail previews to guide me, then drag-and-drop those folders to their final destination on my hard drive still outside of LR, then do an Add Import, by dragging and dropping those folders onto LR Library’s central area, so that’s another way.

  • I need instructions on how to RAID0 my drives - its driving me insane!

  • I have an MFC J410W Brother's printer, and I need instructions on how to print from my IPAD 4.

    I need to know how to print from my IPAD 4 on my MFC J410W Brother's printer.

    Printing from an iPad or iPhone
    To print directly from an iPad you need an AirPrint - enabled printer on the same wireless network as the iPad. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are AirPrint-enabled. Your Brother MFC-J410W is not an AirPrint printer.
    If you do not have an AirPrint printer, a number of workarounds exist that enable the use of any printer you normally use, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades. Search for the following products:
    handyPrint (Mac only, donation-supported)
    Printopia (Mac only, $19.95 with free trial)
    These are utilities you install on the Mac you normally use for printing, enabling it to act as an AirPrint print server. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. The iPad needs nothing else, no iOS apps need to be installed and no configuration is necessary. If your computer can print, so can the iPad, using one of these utilities on your Mac.
    Equivalent utilities may exist for PCs but I have no experience with them - I suggest https://www.collobos.com
    You can also buy this standalone hardware print server, bypassing the need for a computer altogether:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.
    The following are my recommendations
    AirPrint compatible Brother laser devices
    and
    AirPrint compatible Brother inkjet devices
    Read the reviews and choose wisely.

  • Need instruction on how to print with HP Officejet 6210

    this is with a powerbook G4 1.5, OS 10.4.5, and an HP Officejet 6210 with newest drivers (released 8/06).
    I've used an HP PSC950 for years, connected to my AEBS with USB, using Felix's instructions for setting up the foomatic/hpijs driver, always worked great. Once in a while it would go out on me, rarely, and i'd reinstall the driver and it would work again.
    Several months ago, i was trying to print something on Mapquest and i gave too many commands at once and the system got confused and ever since then, it won't print wirelessly, reinstalling the driver didnt' help.
    Also, i'm not sure i'm adapting Felix's instructions to the new OS which doesn't exactly match the instructions.
    Anyway, haven't had wireless printing in months. Finally tonight, i went out and got a new printer, the HP Officejet 6210, first checking and finding it on the compatability list, both Felix's list and HP's list.
    I set it up, it works fine with direct computer/printer USB connection.
    I just don't know how to set up the Mac to print with the 6210. I have the 6210 connected to the AEBS with USB cable. I dont know what else to do.
    I went to an HP page where it gives step by step instructions for USB to Airport instructions.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00592751&produc t=421991&dlc=en&lang=en
    Step one and two are OK. Step 3 says:
    "Turn on the printer and verify that the wireless mode is enabled. If you need more information on how to enable the wireless mode, see the User Manual which shipped with the printer."
    I have no clue about how to verify that the wireless mode is enabled. In the index of the 6210 User Manual there is not a word about 'wireless.' The word 'network' isn't in there either. Under 'Connection' it doesn't mention anything about wireless printing. So i'm not really able to do this step.
    I tried to do the other steps but if they are talking about the Airport pull down menu in Step 4, there is no printer listed there. I tried to follow step 5 but it leads nowhere.
    Is there some way to set up the Mac the way i set it up for the foomatic/hpijs driver for the PSC 950, so that i can select 10.0.1.1 in the printer menu and print? I tried going into the set up utility and chose Add and chose internet IPP printing and wanted to choose the HP 6210 driver but it wasn't available. There was an HP 6200 series foomatic/hpijs driver--what does that mean? Am i supposed to use that? I chose that and tried to print from 10.0.1.1 but in Print Jobs it just says "10.0.1.1 is busy, will retry in 30 seconds." In other words, it doesn't work. This is what happened when i tried to get the PSC 950 working again too.
    Anyway, the HP instructions don't have anything to do with any of this. They just say to make sure the wireless mode is on and then go to Safari and choose Bonjour and various other things that when i try them, they aren't available as choices.
    I know that someone on these forums was able to use Bonjour to print with their laptop so it must be possible (with Windows however).
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1494092&#1494092
    Plus HP says they tested the connection with Mac OS and it works. So it must just be a matter of some knowledge i am lacking that would get it working.
    If the printer won't work, i have to return it within 14 days so I need to get on it and try to determine if it will work.
    Could there be a problem with my AEBS, which would explain why i was never able to get my PSC950 to print wirelessly again after that crash on Mapquest?
    Do i need to reinstall the OS?
    I seriously don't think this printer has a wireless mode, otherwise it would be mentioned in the manual. I ran through the menu, tools and preferences (on the printer)--nothing about wireless mode. But why should it need a wireless mode if it's connected by USB cable to the AEBS? Isn't this just a matter of setting up the Mac software to print with Airport?

    i have duplicate posts because when i tried to post the comments on 'question answered', i got a red error message saying i had violated no posting within 30 seconds of the last post. I carefully counted out 30 seconds and then waited some more, but i got the same error when i tried to post it again. so then i clicked on the Reload or Refresh browser button, "are you sure you want to send this page again?" yes. then i tried sending the answer comments again and it posted, a long with two duplicates.
    What ever happened to the Edit and Delete post buttons that used to be available on this site, for a short time after posting?

  • Need instructions on how to use my new xbox with my X-Fi Titanium

    Heyho,
    I'm about to get my new Xbox 360 today/tomorrow and as I have a 5. soundsystem running with my pc I want the 360 5. sound to be on this system as well. Thus I'd like to connect my xbox via toslink with my x-fi titanium and then put it out over my speakers.
    As I'm not that familiar with the dolby digital stuff I need some help on how to set this all up properly.
    Any help is welcome
    Edit: My OS is win7

    Take the cord and plug it into the computer. Now plug your phone in(make sure iTunes is installed on computer: www.apple.com/iTunes) you can now sync the photos music and every thing else.
    after doing that you can do this:
    To sync with the computer, make sure you are signed in on both iPhone and computer with the same account. You can go to Settings then iCoud and switch automatic syncing of photos, songs, etc. this will put it all back on. It will save everything "on the cloud"

  • Need instructions on how to get Quanser working with LabView 7.1

    I need information on what LabView modules or addins to install in order to run Quanser (QNET Experiments release 2.2).  LabView 7.1 is loaded but we also have LabView 7.0 if needed.

    Hello JND,
    The Quanser website indicates that the QNET products are fully
    compatible with LabVIEW and NI Elvis. However, I could not find more
    information on any drivers they provide for LabVIEW, so I suggest you
    contact them directly about this. If they have drivers written for
    LabVIEW, that should be enough to communicate with the board from
    LabVIEW. In order to communicate to NI Elvis, you need to install
    NI-DAQmx and NI ELVIS drivers available at this page.
    Good luck and best regards,
