Problems with Tiger on my ibook

Installed Tiger mostly successfully, but a few problems:
1. Although Word works, it crashes a lot and I cannot open any other Office applications (powerpoint, excel)
2. When download files from internet or email cannot open them easily with Word or other applications
3. Whenever my computer turns off because of a power shortage, I must totally reset the airport connection data.
Thanks for any tips!!!

1. You haven't stated which version of Office you are using. Click here and check that you have the latest update for Office.
2. See (1).
3. You need to provide more information as to the meaning of "totally reset the airport connection data". If the connection is on and the power is suddenly lost, you will lose the airport connection/network and will have to re-establish it upon startup. This is the way it works.

Hi, James.
Yes, the iBook should run even with no battery installed.
These are the four most common possibilities when the battery will not charge:
(1) there is something wrong with your battery
(2) there is something wrong with your power adapter
(3) there is something wrong with your power input board (the part that contains the port where you plug in the adapter)
(4) there is something wrong with your logic board
Since you have eliminated all the possibilities except (4), it is likely that your logic board is having problems. The PMU (Power Management Unit) is part of the logic board, and it may be going out (hence, temporarily working again when you reset it). Since the iBook is not running reliably without the battery in place (as it should), replacing the battery most likely would be futile.
When a computer gets to be five years old, it seems a bit short-sighted to pay very much for repairs, just to have something else go wrong sooner rather than later. Have you had a look at the hugely improved specs on the new MacBooks? Is it time for a new portable to avoid embarrassment during your presentations? It sounds like that could be your best option.

Problems with epub 3 and iBooks 2

Problems with fixed layout epub 3 and iBooks version 2
I am producing an epub 3 fixed layout ebook. My query is whether there is a known issue with epub 3 and the old version of iBooks - iBooks 2.
The epub has passed verification with epubcheck 3.0.1 and I have viewed the file on my iPad with iBooks 3.2 as well as on iBooks on my Mac, and also through the Chrome browser using Readium. In all cases the layout is fine. But when the file is downloaded onto an old iPad using iBooks 2, the layout is all mixed up. The iPad says that its operating system of OS.5 is up-to-date , and will not allow it to be updated, and thus it's impossible to update iBooks to versions 3.
So my question is whether this is a known issue with fixed layout epub 3 and versions 2 of iBooks, and if so whether there is a work around to allow fixed layout epub 3 to be read on iBooks2.

Follow-up query: (apple-ibooks-display-options) file needed in epub 3??
I tried adding the old (apple-ibooks-display-options) file to the META INF folder, as you used to for fixed layout epub 2, and the file displayed perfectly on the older version of iBooks, as well as on the latest iBooks. This leads me to ask whether you still need to add the 'apple-ibooks-display-options' file to epub 3, to make them readable on old versions of iBooks, or whether this indicates that some of the settings stating this is pre-paginated etc. are not entered correctly in the content.opf file, but I have checked this and I don't think so.
Any advice on this would be very welcome.

Problems with Tiger Install

Previously having OS 10.2, I tried to install 10.4 from an installation disc over 10.2, and it failed to install. After failing to install, the computer made me restart, and now it goes to a screen giving an error about a Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5 Driver. The Computer can't find drivers for 10.4 and 10.5. I cannot boot from an Apple I-care disc, the machine tries to boot into an OS, but there is a question mark, instead of an OS Icon in the middle of the screen, and then shortly after comes the error message. The machine locks up.
I thought maybee the problem was intalling OS10.4 as an update, because there was a gap between version previously installed and the new one, but the installation guide says OS 10.2 or later is updatable.
Please Help.

Hi Brandon,
If you are not able to start up from your installation DVD there might be a problem with your DVD drive.
If this is the case then there are two things you might do:
1- (and most obvious) take your Mac in for repair.
2- Fire Wire Target Disk Mode... (For this option you will need a second Mac)
- Target Disk Mode will basically turn your iMac into an external HD, by doing this you will be able to use a second Mac with a working disc drive to start up from the Tiger DVD and then install it on your iMac.
If you are going to do this it is important that no other FireWire devices are connected to either of the computers.
How to start your iMac in Target Disk Mode: Start up the computer and immediately press and hold down the T key until the FireWire icon appears.
Once you have done this connect it to the second Mac (with FireWire)
Now insert the Tiger DVD in the second Mac, when the disk appears on the Desktop open it and double click on "install"
A window with a restart button will appear... click and restart (there will be no need to hold the "c" key.
Once the computer has started up from the Tiger DVD you need to find UTILITIES or TOOLS (i can remember the exact name) on the top bar
Click on it and open Disk Utility then follow the steps of my previous post.
Make sure that you have selected the correct HD to erase and install (it will not be the first one on the list)
Good Luck.

IMac won't burn cds...Problem with Tiger?

I used to have Panther and I would occasionally get error messages when trying to burn cds, mostly the buffer has been underrun. I upgraded to tiger and the problem worsened and I began getting other error message. Mostly "the device failed to calibrate the laser power needed for this media" sometimes it just spits out the cd without an error message. I have a warrantly with Fry's. They have had my computer for over 3 months and keep claming that there is no problem with my comptuer, even though they have seen the error (what idiots!) ..
Their recent claim is that it is a software issue, and that the superdrive in the imac is not compatible with tiger, and I need to downgrade to my original OS. I find this very hard to believe. WHy would apple come out with an OS that is not compatible with the superdrive??
Keep in mind, everybody at Fry's seems to no NOTHING about Macs...This is the last time I buy an Apple from there!!
Does anybody know anything about this issue??

i have almost the same problem, i have an imac G5, i jus purchased it last october, i use it to burn stuff all the time and nothing happens, until like a couple of dayz ago.. i tried to burn a cd and it ddnt work, i uninstalled toast and installed it again, restarted my computer but it still ddnt work.. but when i burnt a DVD it worked, but it cant burn cds. i have no idea why this is happening. it has never happened before...helllllllpppppppppppppppppp please because i really need to use it.....

A login problem with Tiger

Hello,
My computer recently has been holding up really fine, until yesterday.
I was playing around with the demo version NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, when all of a sudden the game began to freeze up and then crashed. After a few minutes, the dock just froze when I tried to reopen the game, preventing me from opening any applications nor shutting down my Mac. Therefore, I forcefully shut down my computer after a few attempts to restarting from the Apple Menu.
When I turned on my Macbook, the problem became much more serious. When I logged onto my account, nothing happened. All I got was the pointer and the desktop.
I tried to solve the problem by running Disk Utility, repairing the disk permissions, but the nothing fixed the problem.
Now I need a solution without having to reinstall Tiger on my Macbook.
Any solution is welcome.
Regards,
Wampus Cat

Never install something like that without first making a full backup (clone) of your system on either an external or (if you have a desktop computer) an extra internal drive. If you had done that someone could say "just boot up your backup and clone it back it your primary drive". I'm not saying this to make you feel bad but as "baltwo" has pointed out, you don't have any good alternatives outside of going through the whole re-install/reconfigure thing. Next time.....

Sounds like your 3.6 V 1/2AA clock battery is close to death. You can find them at Radio Shack. Product 23-026 in the U.S. Not sure if it is the same England.

Problems with Tiger Server SSL after attempting to update cert

I have been getting an error message saying that my SSL is self-signed even though it is a GeoTrust cert.
I deleted the certificate that was there and had my cert re-issued in order to try to remedy this problem and now my SSL site prevents the server's Web services from starting.
The error I am getting from log says:
[Mon Dec 21 15:50:49 2009] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Unable to read server certificate from file /etc/certificates/center.7thdirection.com.crt (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Mon Dec 21 15:50:49 2009] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D07207B:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1getobject:header too long
I have been in contact with GeoTrust and they really don't know OS X Server that well. I need help and can't afford Apple's phone support. Anyone here have any ideas?
TIA.

I suggest you ask in the Tiger server forum.

MacAlly mouse problems with Tiger

Since the most recent Tiger update, 10.4.2, my Powerbook G3 400 Firewire doesn't recognize my Optimouse when coming out of sleep unless I unplug and re plug it. The Optimouse was working fine in 10.4.1 with or without the Macally driver installed but now the problem persists also with and without the driver. Just a pain in the *** and I was wondering if anyone else was having similar probs and if there is a cure.
Thanks

TV out low contrast problem with Tiger

I just recently upgraded to Tiger and went straight from 10.3.9 to 10.4.5.
My mini-DVI to TV adapter has always worked perfectly before, but now the display on my TV is very dim, with extremely low contrast and brightness. The TV is recognised correctly and all the settings, color profiles etc. are correct.
I have verified that this is strictly a software issue as booting from 10.3.9 fixes the problem, and the output to TV is bright and beautiful once again.
I've searched, but found no mention of this particular problem anywhere. I would love to find a solution as the TV out from the PowerBook is basically broke, and dragging the external FW drive to the TV to boot from 10.3.9 is not a practical option.
PowerBook G4 12" 1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) 768 RAM

Thought it wouldn't do any harm to run MacJanitor - but it didn't do any good, either.
This continues through restarts. It is definitely local to this one machine as another Mac does not show it.
EDIT If I go in via http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=160 I get the same thing except the Recent Threads only show solved/question icons, no titles or anything else.

Faxing problems with internal modem in iBook

I have been trying to use Apples built in faxing capabilities. I use a cable connection over wireless airport to connect to the internet. Through reading in these forums I found out that you need to be hooked up through a phone line to fax—makes sense.
I am trying to do that now but encountering problems. Here's what's happening—can anyone help me out?
-faxing from Microsoft Word using "fax pdf".
-My I book G4 is connected to a phone line and connected to my wireless network via airport.
-computer appears to send fax successfully from the application but doesn't actually fax.
-i check it in the fax list, double click my internal modem window and it opens the job window for the modem. My job is still there, holding. When I click "resume" I hear a dial tone and it appears to try to be faxing. But suddenly a busy signal gets in the way and it puts the fax on hold. This keeps happening over and over again.
-I realize that maybe the line I'm faxing to is busy, but I'm also wondering if it has anything to do with my modem not being set up correctly. when I go into system preferences>network>network status there is a red icon next to internal modem and it says "Internal Modem is not set up".
My question is--how to I get my internal modem to be "set up"? In the old days I used to have my dial up info in there in TCP/IP but I don't have that service anymore. I was under the impression that you could fax just using the laptop's internal modem hooked up to a phone line and you didn't need any provider service..is this true or not?
In the "printing and faxing" system preferences window I have my phone number in there.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I'm not sure if I need any information in the internal modem set up panel and what that would be. Can't I just fax by simply having a phone line and a phone #?
Thanks!

ebonyhack, Welcome to the discussion area!
Have you tried disabling the option to wait for dial tone?
You may have to add some commas (',') to the front of your ISP's phone number to delay the dialing. A comma causes a delay of 1 second.
