One upgrade possible for Ibook and Imac?

Hi there,
lots of great info on the site and very helpful just with what I've found.
Could not find anything that tells me what version of OSX I could possibly upgrade to that would help both my machines.
I need to upgrade to 10.5 for blackberry app to work. Not sure if I can find and use a version of 10.5 that will allow me to updgrade both my 10.3.x Ibook G3 AND my Imac (Intel) running 10.4.11. I do realize that Ibook will not be able to run Leopard.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
In addition, I've been using an internet stick (no DSL in the area) as my connection on my Imac but relegated the Ibook to backup duty for wordprocessing since I can't connect the stick to it. I've tried to set up a network that would allow me to have the Ibook share the Imac connection, but to no avail. If anyone has experience with doing this, that would help also.
Thanks,

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
The combined update for Mac OS X 10.3 (to 10.3.9) for the iBook can be found at this link:
http://www.apple.com/support/panther/
Explanation: Although the iBook G3 (Dual USB) is technically capable of running Mac OS X 10.4, some people (myself included) believe that Mac OS X 10.3.9 is the optimal version of the OS to run on the iBook. My reasoning on the matter is due to the limited logic board RAM on the iBook G3 (Dual USB). Panther (10.3) is able to run on the logic board RAM in most iBooks G3 (Dual USB) (128 MB on the vast majority of them), while Tiger (10.4) requires 256 MB of RAM to run. So if you should ever have a RAM problem while running Tiger, you can't test whether that is the problem by removing the extra RAM module.
If you mean you'd like a single upgrade path for both computers, I'm afraid that's not possible.
Are you running a wireless connection for the internet? Is the iBook equipped with an original AirPort Card? I'm not certain what an "internet stick" is, exactly? With no DSL in your area, are you on dial-up, then?

  • Synchronize files in iBook and iMac

    Is there a program or a process that would allow me to synchronize my word files between my iBook and iMac. Both systems run OS 10.3.7. I use the iBook in the field and the iMac in the office and need to have all my files synchronized in both computers.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If your Word files on one Mac are in the same folder or overall container folder and the same is for the other Mac, you can use a synchronization application like Synk to sync those two container folders. You can have it use the latest version of duplicate files to be the one to be copied to the other Mac in case you use the same file on both Macs. There are a number of options to consider but you can do the job. All you'd need is to connect the two Mac with a ethernet cable or FW cable (Target Mode) and set the two folders to be synced. There are other applications that can to the job but I liked Synk's interface and it was pretty easy and complete. Personal preference.

  • GRC AC V10 - one approval step for manager and role owner

    Hello Community,
    I have one, perhaps easy, question. Where is it possible to maintain the solution of one approval step for manager and roleowner, if both are unique.
    E.g.:
    simple approval workflow: manager stage afterwards roleowner stage afterwards auto-provisioning
    So if the request is routed to the manager and the manager is also the roleowner of the requested authorization role (same UserID). The user has to approve one and the same request twice.
    Is it possible in V.10 to change the config that the user has only to approve the request once? And then to decide on which relevant stage settings are valid for this process.
    Thanks,
    Alexa

    Hi Alexa,
    We have had a similar questions raised in a project. In an ideal world, a single "Sign-off approval" would be a great functionality where the same user has to approve the same consecutive stages, but the reason for different stages would entail that the responsibilities entailed per stage differ, e.g. Line Manager would just check the over request, and the role owner etc may be reviewing the elegibility of a specifc role etc.
    If it is likely to be the same person reviewing the 2 consecutive stages, maybe a single stage workflow would be sufficient to cover this scenario.
    I think the logic you are trying to configure in the workflow is possible but will require alot of work with knowing how to create a clever custom workflow with BRF+ or the actual WF stuff in SAP itself.

  • Simple way of transferring files beween iBook and iMac?

    So far, I have burned CDs to transfer files back and forth between the two machines. I also am considering using a portable back up drive.
    I'd prefer a simple transfer of files between the machines via fire wire cable!
    However, I have been discouraged so far to explore the "networking" solutions further, because of the (for me) complicated protocol and addressing issues in the networking preference panel....
    A simple solution would make me happy!
    Thanks,
    PP

    If you boot the iBook into FireWire target disk mode it will act as an external FireWire drive.
    Then all you need to do is connect the iBook and iMac with a 6 pin to 6 pin FireWire cable. The iBook will appear on the iMac's desktop as a hard drive. You can then easily drag and drop files between the 2 machines.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    So long as you are logged into the iTunes Store, using the correct ID and password (settings >store), then you will always have access to your apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc bought via the iTunes Store on that account.

  • I am going to buy a macbook pro for grade 12, and I need to know wheather I should get a macbook pro or a macbook pro retina. If someone could tell me (in a very simple way) which one is,better for me and why, I would be ever so apprreciative.

    Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
    Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
    You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
    Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
    Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
    If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
    You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
    Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
    good luck

    is it possible for me and i'm from egypt to order a macbook pro online from the usa store and have it shipped to me to egypt cause the egyptian store has no online ordering ?

    I believe you need a USA attached credit card. The easiest way is to ask. This is a user to user forum. You are not talking to Apple here.

    That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
    I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.

    If your iBook has a processor less than 867MHz it won't be able to run
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, though methods exist to allow it unofficially.
    Old first model colors iBook G3 (not white dualUSB) have other limits.

  • Can Numbs app for iPad be used for iPhone and iMac?

    Can Numbs app for iPad be used for iPhone and iMac?

    I assume that you mean Numbers, in which case the iPad version can be used on the iPhone (if you've got the current version of Numbers then you will need iOS 5 on your iPhone). It can't be used on your iMac as that is a different operating system, you will need the Mac OS X version for that - but you can use spreadsheets created in Numbers on the iPad in Numbers on the Mac and vice versa.

  • Whisch one is correct for undo_retention and what is the difference

    Hi ALL,
    whisch one is correct for undo_retention and what is the difference
    SQL> select max(maxquerylen) from v$undostat;
    MAX(MAXQUERYLEN)
    6060
    SQL> select max(maxquerylen) from dba_hist_undostat;
    MAX(MAXQUERYLEN)
    17221

    hi Afzal,
    you can use begin_time & end_time of v$undostat -> to specify the time interval of your interest.
    A brief note, of what you have discussed here:
    maxquerylen
    Identifies the length of the longest query (in seconds) executed in the instance during the period. You can use this statistic to estimate the proper setting of the UNDO_RETENTION initialization parameter. The length of a query is measured from the cursor open time to the last fetch/execute time of the cursor. Only the length of those cursors that have been fetched/executed during the period are reflected in the view.
    V$UNDOSTAT is dynamic, showing current stats.
    DBA_HIST_UNDOSTAT displays the history of histograms of statistical data to show how well the system is working. The available statistics include undo space consumption, transaction concurrency, and length of queries executed in the instance.This view contains snapshots of V$UNDOSTAT
    hope it help.
