Powerbook G4 12" - Mac OS Supported

What is the most current version of the MacOSX that can be installed on a powerbook g4? Currently running 10.3.9.

Any Powerbook G4 with an 867MHz or faster processor, 512MB of RAM and adequate hard drive space can nominally run OS X 10.5.8, though some users find it runs too slowly for their tastes and 10.4.11 is a more graceful fit. Maximizing your RAM (at 1.25GB), if it isn't maximized already, would make for the best possible performance with either OS.

Need a webcam for PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11 -- help!!!

Hi - i am looking for a webcam for my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. No Apple service center or other computer store in India has any idea of what camera could work. Logitech sells the QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac, but that is too expensive for me. The ones I liked (from Logitech) are the Webcam C200/C250M/C500/C600 and the QuickCam for Notebooks - though I don't know if any of these is compatible with my G4.
Any suggestions? I'm open to suppliers other than Logitech, as long as it does not cost more than $60.
Please help me ASAP - thanks in advance

OS 10.5.8 was the LAST "Universal Binary" OS that Mac released. It could be run on PPC or Intel Macs.
You can use Flash, but NOT the current version. Flash Player 10.3.183.90 is the latest version that will run with 10.5.8.
Apple ended all support for ALL PowerPC hardware and software just over four years ago, so there will be no further development of ANY apps that run with PowerPC Macs, from ANY developer.

Lack of Mac & Linux Support Hurting Javafx 2.0 Early Adoption and traction.

Lack of Mac & Linux Support Hurting Javafx 2.0 Early Adoption and traction.
Oracle needs to come out with a Mac & Linux Beta built, or let developers know the real story behind Mac OS and Javafx 2.0.

I too would like to at least be able to try the Mac/Linux ports, even knowing that they are behind the Windows version. But just knowing that Oracle is committed to them is enough to ease any nervous feeling that I'm choosing the wrong tech.
I have no problems with the fact that Oracle is concentrating on Windows first. It makes sense. If you have to pick one platform to focus on while you are getting the kinks out, it makes sense for it to be the most popular platform. That's Windows. But there mustn't be too long of a wait for the others. (E.g. if they were in a public beta stage when the Windows version is at final release, that would help boost confidence in the platform.)
So long as they don't make the same mistakes that were made with Swing, where there are too many assumptions that all platforms work the same - so things like Mac's screen menu bar had to be fit in after the fact by Apple using awkward hacks. (I notice that now even popular Linux distros (Ubuntu) are using the screen menu bar concept, though they have managed to fit that into the window manager in such a way that it didn't seem to cause much problems.)

Can PowerBook G4 with Mac OS 10.4.11 enable printing with iPhone iOS 6.0

I have a PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11 (PPC). I have 3 printers on a network linked either as USB printers or as WiFi peripherals: HP Color LaserJet 2840, HP DeskJet 940c, Samsung ML-1210. I would like to enable AirPrint for iPad, iPhone 6.0 in this network system. Printopia nor FingerPrint will run on PPC machines and neither function on 10.4.11. I tried to use the solution in Simon Blog but no printers are recognized by the iPad nor iPhone. Any ideas anyone?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Walt

Follow up: I confirmed that Pacifist will extract and install the package on a PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.11.
Package extraction and installation:
Once you download and install Pacifist, launch Pacifist, locate the AirPrint-1.0.pkg file and open it.
Click the "reveal triangles" at the left to show all the package's contents.
Select the "AirPrint" icon, then click Install. Ensure the "Use Administrator Privileges" box is checked and select Install. Authenticate with your Administrator name and password.
Repeat for "ca.mlabs.airprint.plist" and "printers.plist".
You may then quit Pacifist.
"mLabs AirPrint" installation:
Follow the instructions in the developer's website. Under "Setup" make sure you do not copy the $ prompt, in other words copy and paste the following in a Terminal window:
/usr/local/bin/airprint/AirPrint config
and press Return.
The program will present a list of your installed printers.
The same general technique is used for removing printers.
Uninstalling the program:
First stop the service with the following Terminal command:
sudo launchctl unload /LibraryLaunchDaemons/ca.mlabs.airprint.plist
Authenticate when prompted.
Then delete the following files, in the Finder, by first opening the folders using the Finder's Go > "Go to Folder..." menu.
/usr/local/bin/airprint/AirPrint
/usr/local/bin/airprint/printers.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/ca.mlabs.airprint.plist
Who can't like a program that's only 24k in size though
That's where I left off for now - next step is to verify it actually works with an iPad. Let me know if you are successful.

Importing photos from my Powerbook to my Mac Mini

Hi there,
I am running iPhoto '06 v. 6.0.6 on my Powerbook. I am also running iPhoto '08 v. 7.1.5 on my Mini (don't know how I ended up with different versions) and want to import my photos from my Powerbook to my Mac Mini. When I tried, it didn't work- the thumb nails were all there but when I clicked on the individual photo a big black 'image' came up with a big white exclamation mark on it.
I presume I need the same versions to be able to do this? How can I get the new version, I didn't buy iPhoto 08 so I don't know how it got on my laptop!
Many thanks, Rose

Great! Have done that, and all seems well. Thankyou.
I wonder if you can answer a question I have about the lay-out of iPhoto 08, and if it can be changed. When I click on a thumbnail, the picture comes up full-size but without the line of thumbnails along the top (as it does in '06). The handy arrow and 'done' button are also missing along the bottom. If I press the 'return' button, these things then appear but it doesn't stay like that, it just comes up again without the scroll bar etc when I click on another thumbnail and I must press return again.
Is it just a setting that can be changed somehow?
Many thanks, Rose

My Mac only supports Windows 7? (MacBook Pro 15-inch Mid 2012)

I don't get this... I have the latest 15-inch MacBook Pro (not retina) available and I get a message from Boot Camp 5.0.2 saying that my Mac only supports Windows 7.
Isn't this an error? Why wouldn't I be able to get Windows 8 drivers for the latest 15-inch MacBook Pro.
Is this an error/un-updated version of Boot Camp or will I be stuck with Windows 7 forever?

It means your Macbook Pro will run on Windows 8.
Mac Book Pro (15-inch and 17-inch, Mid 2010) and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
That means your 15 Inch Macbook Pro is newer so it should install with no issues.
The problem might be Windows not having drivers for your newer Macbook Pro. Not necessarlly means that it's your Macbook Pro's or Apple's fault - it would be a Windows issue.

Please help, since you can not buy 6 monitors display port or thunderbolt. already have 6 monitors dvi/vga, but I'm afraid to buy a mac pro, because monitors can not connect. Thank you friends!

I want to connect 6 vga or dvi monitors.
I'm sorry, translation via google translate
Mac pro ordered, paid money. Now I worry that I won't be able to connect 6 vga monitors. I already have 6 vga of monitors, don't want to buy 6 thunderbolt monitors

HT201343 Can I update my Mac to support airplay mirroring?

Can I update my Mac to support airplay mirroring?

P.S. Forgot to mention you might try a 3rd party application called AirParrot. I have never tried it but it was developed to let you mirror from Mac's that don't meet the hardware requirements.
Good Luck

Ity does not work for a shutdown state

Does the Mac Pro Support SATA III?

Hi everyone, I've been wondering for a long time: Does the late 2012 12-Core Mac Pro support SATA III 6Gb connection? If not, is there any way of making it SATA III?

Most commercially-available rotating drives cannot possibly source data off the platters at higher than a momentary bursts of up to 125MBytes/sec, or about 1.0Gbits/sec. That means SATA-I speed is not a bottleneck.
A few drives are faster, and some SSD drives are faster.
Many drives available today are capable of transfers at up to 6Gbits/sec.They will operate correctly at the Mac Pro's 3Gbits sec Bus speed. But since they cannot produce data from the drive platters at those speeds, you get at most a tiny, momentary burst at that speed.
6Gbits/sec is far higher than other bottlenecks in the drive. There is no point in paying extra for this spec, as the drive cannot achieve it steady-state, and it provides no measurable advantage. I refer to such practices as "specsmanship". Feel free to read "cr@p".
