PowerBook 520c with the PPC upgrade

The standard CPU configuration for this PB will handle up to OS 8.1. Can one go beyond that (ie OS 8,6) with the PPC upgrade?

Although you can give a PB 500 a new heart, the rest of the circulatory system remains the same. 680x0 upgrades to PPC are not supported by OS 8.5, let alone OS 8.6. If the upgrade to PPC includes a logic board upgrade, you can expect greater things.

Powerbook 520c on the web?

I have a powerbook 520c with a floppy drive. When I plug the ethernet into my network, the server doesn't assign it an IP address. Also, there is no browser to use once the connection is up and running.
Is there any way to connect to my iMac via ethernet and connect to the internet via its airport connection? Is there a way to copy files from the iMac to my 520? The iMac is running 10.4.

Yes to all.
Older versions of the MacOS only request an IP address (and indeed, turn on TCP/IP) when an application tries to use TCP/IP. So if you don't have any TCP/IP apps, you'll never have TCP/IP turn on.
As for web browsers, your best bet is iCab (http://www.icab.de) It's the most modern 68040-compatible browser out there.
For getting it on the 'net in the first place, if your iMac connects via AirPort, and you want to plug the 520c in to the iMac, you'll need to turn on Internet Sharing. It's in the 'Sharing' pref pane, under 'Internet'. Tell it where to share the connection from (AirPort,) and where to share it to (Built-in Ethernet.) Then click 'Start'. Finally, plug the Ethernet cable in to both the iMac and the PowerBook.
How to copy files? Well, you need to enable AppleTalk on the iMac (Network pref pane, 'Configure' your adapter that will connect to the PowerBook, go to the 'AppleTalk' tab, and check off 'Make AppleTalk Active'.) Then you'll need to tell the PowerBook to use Ethernet for AppleTalk (Either the 'AppleTalk' or the 'Network' control panel, depending on if you're using 'Classic' or 'Open Transport' networking,) finally, enable file sharing on one of the computers. (I find it easier from the newer Mac,) and connect from the other one.
Hope that helps!
(P.S. If you have the PCMCIA adapter, you can even have your PowerBook connect wirelessly with an old WaveLAN/Orinoco card! See http://www.penmachine.com/techie/airport1400.html)

I think you have to have at least 10.5.8 installed, which is the highest any Motorola chipped Mac can go.

Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved. It started with the last upgrade to 10.8

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Reason I had to chat with Customer Support is that I got the following message upon placing Upgrade Order.

With the new upgrade to iOS 7 for the iPhone, is there anyway to change the background on the calendar?

With the new upgrade to iOS 7 for the iPhone, is there anyway to change the color background on the calendar?

There are, however, lots of calendar apps in the App Store. They will used th same data as th built in app and sync just the same way. Many of them are quite customizable or, at least have different backgrounds. Some that I like are Week Cal, Fantastical, Cal, Tempo.
Best of luck.

With the recent upgrade to FF 6.0 how do we get password protection for the internet with FF back?

When our Mac was set up we had a password protected startup for FF, so without the password you could not start it.
With the recent upgrade to 6.0 that password request disappeared. How do we get it back?

Is Firefox 5 compatible with the new upgrade to OS 10.6.8? I'm having problems

Since I upgraded to Firefox 5.0, and upgraded to 10.6.8 (Mac) my computer is not responding as it previously did. I keep getting "box messages" when I scroll and when I move to the tool bar in Firefox, it switches without my direction.
I contacted Apple, no problems with the upgrade. Is Firefox compatible with the new upgrade??? Even my printer didn't respond.

Hey William Dofflemyer,
Thanks for the question. I understand you would like to move some photos in your iPhoto library to free up space. The following article may help you with that:
