PowerMac G4 Desktop won't download newer programs

Hi I have a PowerMac G4 Desktop and I would like to get it running so i can play games, watch videos, etc. I will pay a price if I need to be a software like Lion OSx or something. I lack knowledge with Mac desktops so I have completely no idea how to go about this. I have had this problem for several months and I think the problem is that i need a newer software on my computer. Is it possible for me to download a software on my computer so that I can play games with java, watch videos, etc. Please Help me! Thank you.

I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no problems. Now suddenly it won't download the last nights show. I have read and followed all troubleshoot and cannot find a solution. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem?

And now that my contract has expired, I have some options. Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave. The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier. I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down. And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice. Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Podcasts there. This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing. Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired. For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts. The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below.
When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs... Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod. If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

NY Times Application Won't Download New Content

The New York Times application on my 2nd gen. touch won't download new stories. When I hit the refresh button, the status bar "Downloading Latest News" appears, but it remains at 0%.
My other apps have no problem connecting to the internet - mail, YouTube, Safari, Joost, etc.
I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, restarting and resetting my iPod, and resetting the settings.
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. Wife loves to read the NYT and this was one of the primary reasons I was able to talk her into getting a touch. Have tried resetting the network setting, resetting the app, reinstalling the app, restarting the ipod between all of the above, erasing and resetting the whole ipod. Nothing works.

What are the icons that appear on the desktop when I download a program?

OK, new to the Mac so please be gentle with me!
I've downloaded some programs on my Macbook Pro. The .dmg file appears and I click on it to install the program. However, there is an icon placed on the desktop for the program, as well as it appearing on the launch bar. What are these icons for, and can I delete them without affecting the program?
Also, I'm trying to install HTC Sync for my phone but when I run the install, I get the message "HTC Sync Manager can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers." How do I clear this and run the program?
As I say, new to the Mac so be gentle with me.

I have a gmail account set up on my macbook pro. One mail I sent with photos continues to repeatedly downloaded in Recovery. At the same time my Gmail won't download new emails into Inbox when I press Get New Mail. Help

I have a gmail account set up on my mac. A few days ago I sent an email with photos in it and this email now is continuosly being recovered. In the meantime my inbox has stopped downloading new messages, even when i press Get New Mail. How can I stop the repeated recovery of the email and how can I get my inbox to download again?

OK, I persevered and used the Rebuild mailbox option on Mail, actually had to do it twice, but now when I boot up and Mail opens all the previously received iCloud messages I've read on iPhone/iPad are pushed through.
Back to normal...

Won't download new software, Error message

I have just gotten a new shuffle. I created a playlist, and set the preferences, and everything looks like it's working (songs are on it, as far as iTunes knows). Before I changed the preferences, iTunes wanted me to download new software, but this message would keep coming up:
"An error occurred updating or restoring iPod. Disconnect iPod, reconnect and then try restoring again. If that does not work, go to http://www.apple.com/support/ipod".
Well, I tried again, and no success. I then tried to avoid it and clicked cancel the next time I connected it. iTunes then prompted me with a message following me to the ipod software update page (I already have the most recent one). I ejected it, and tried playing songs. The ipod shuffle error message came up (green, red, green, red).
How do I update in this situation? Can I get the shuffle to play? Help me, please! Thanks.

Mail 3.6 won't download new POP messages

I have 7 POP accounts running under Mail 3.6. Almost a month ago, one of the accounts stopped downloading new messages, and now, a second account has done the same. I've tried deleting the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded files and rebuilt the mailboxes. Still, no success. In the lower left of the screen, Mail will show that it's apparently trying to download messages, but the download rate quickly drops to zero, and the process quits with nothing new taken off the server. When looking at the Account Info, there are a large number of "Sender Unknown" messages, all with a received date of "Today". I know these to be mostly valid messages that were NOT received today, so I'm reluctant to remove them from the server (a suggestion I read on another forum). Any ideas on how to restore functionality? I do know that the problem is NOT on the ISP end (Cox), as I'm able to receive mail just fine on Evolution running under Ubuntu. Thanks very much for any help!

HOLY COW!!!! This problem has been driving me NUTS! Like most of you, my Mail simply stopped downloading new messages. No notifications, flashing lights, or buzzers.... just stopped. iPhone continued to dnld messages, and Mail continued to send, but nothing new for the inbox. I had done e'thing... rebuilt my account on my email server, rebuilt my account in Mail, deleted all the preferences.... nothing. Like Brian, I had a pile of messages sitting on the server, even though iPhone had downloaded them already, so I started deleting them one-by-one. And that's when I found it.... one flipping email that would not download, would not delete, would not do anything. I couldn't delete it server side, and I couldn't delete it from Mail. Apparently this was the booger screwing e'thing up, so, frustrated, and as a last resort, I simply clicked on it from w/in my webmail server to open it............ and *poof!* it disappeared. Problem gone. Mail working. What the crap caused that?

ITunes won't download new purchases

Starting a few months ago, iTunes has refused to download new purchases. When I tell it to check for new downloads, I get the message "all purchases have been downloaded for this apple id". However, there are plenty of purchases - dozens at this point - still available on iCloud which it hasn't downloaded. They show up as purchased when I search for them in the store, but obviously I'm not going to manually search through the store for every single purchase I've made in the past three months and click the "download" link.
This seems to be an issue which started with many users in March and remains unresolved. Oddly, the free Color Zen app from the Apple Store app did show up as a pending download, without me even having to tell it to check. On Windows this isn't even meant to be possible!
Is iCloud broken again? If it's been like this for three months I have to believe that something has gone horribly wrong that Apple can't be bothered to fix.

I had this issue, and it's kind of resolved now.
Make sure that you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases" enabled in your iTunes preferences by going to iTunes > Preferences in the Store tab and clicking OK.
I still get the same error, "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID" when I try to download all previous purchases at once, but now I can download each genre individually by right clicking the genre and clicking 'download'.

Mail Won't Download New Mail!

I got a new powerbook in December and everything worked wonderfully. I set up my mail account and it work just as it should. However, when I left home (florida) and went back to college (virginia) and tried to open up mail, it was no longer downloading new mail! It gave an error message and it related it to the network connection or something...so after longtime frustration I just deleted the account thinking that if I did, I could just make the same account again and all would be well.
NOT THE CASE!
So, I've looked at countless tutorials thinking that I may have entered the wrong information in the different fields and followed step by step all the information in each field. Nothing seems to work. It will let me add my account as IMAP gmail and all the rest but not as POP but I dont really think this is the problem because either way no mail is bringing brought to my inbox. what can I do? I think that it may have to do with my university's firewall that may be blocking it someway. Is there anyway to by pass this to get some mail!!!
PLEASE HELP

Try removing the account from Mail and rentering it as a new account.

GMail IMAP account won't download new messages - still can send

Really bizzare bug...I use Mail with two accounts setup, both of which are GMail Imap accounts. Since yesterday I have not been able to download new messages for my inbox whenever Mail has been opened already.
When I first open Mail, it seems to sync correctly and get new messages, but after it's been open if anyone sends me a new message, Mail fails to download the message. Manually clicking "Get New Mail" or using the "Get All New Mail" from menu doesn't seem to help.
Rebuilding my Inbox does help in that it syncs my inbox back up, but after that it doesn't download messages like it's supposed to every minute (preference setting).
Can't think of anything majorly different that I've done in the last day, although I did install RC1 of "Things"....
I'm on OS X version 10.5.6

Has anyone actually done this and had it work? I'm a little anxious to try it given the "Jeez. Good catch..."
If this fix works, why does it work?
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.4 and Mail 3.3 on a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM.
I'm not sure that there is a connection, but Mail stopped downloading email from all my various email accounts shortly after I added a new IMAP account. I've now got 3 active IMAP accounts (one is Gmail), an inactive HTTPMail acct (hotmail) and an inactive POP acct.
I have tried taking all accts offline and bringing all back online at once and each individually. I have quit Mail and re-launched it. I have tried rebuilding each acct's inbox. I have tired re-launching after deactivating all accts but one. None of this has worked. If I click on "Get Mail", the pinwheels spin next to each acct inbox for a second, but no new mail appears.
What is really strange that one or two emails might download from any given account on any given day, but that's it. The one or two new emails that might appear from time to time appear to do so over night - I get up in the morning to check my email and discover at most one or two new emails, even though when I check the accts by webmail there are dozens of new emails between the three accts.
God, I HATE webmail!
When relaunching or taking the Gmail acct online I sometimes get an error message that it's certificate is invalid. I find this hard to believe as Google is no penny-anty operation, but I clikc "connect" and still no new email.

Can't download new program without bluetooth connection but I'm on dsl

Everytime I try to open up a new program in my applications folder my mac tries to connect to bluetooth but I'm on dsl and I can't figure out how to connect to the internet with the options it's giving me. I've gone into my preferences and made sure that my connections are ok so what am I missing??? Somebody please help.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

It sounds like your programs are looking for info on the internet.. could be just looking for/checking for updates.. nothing wrong with that.
You say your on DSL, but when this happens are you connected to the network? If you are, I can't think of a reason why you would be prompted for a Bluetooth connection.
And the other posted is correct.. if you move your Ethernet/Dsl connection to the top of the list it should prompt you to do something with your DSL connection.

"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process ID=0x1114 (4372), Thread ID=0x1120 (4384)"

Any other ideas?
