Puting 10.4 on an ibook with 10.3

if i do a clean install of 10.4 on an ibook g3 dual usb will it update automatically to 10.4.11

The Software Update pane of System Preferences will run at the first login and show you the updater, but manual action is needed to install it.

  • I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it.  I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open.  Can anyone help?

    The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

  • How to use iBook with projector

    Hello. I have a 12" iBook G4. I might be needing to use a projector with it in the near future and I'm not an expert on projector connections and stuff like that. I know my iBook has a video-out and I have the adapter which connects a video cable to a TV. I'm just wondering if projectors have video-in ports like TVs? Or how would I use my iBook with a projector? Please let me know. Thanks!

    Hi Remy,
    The Apple iBook G4 specs says:
    Video mirroring supports VGA video out to an external display or projector (requires included Apple VGA Video Adapter) and S-video and composite video out to a TV or VCR (requires optional Apple Video Adapter, sold separately).
    You can find the necessary cables in the Apple Store under Mac Accessories/Cables.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon

  • Two Finger Right Click on late G4 iBook with USB Trackpad?

    I learned that with OSX Version 10.4.7 it is possible to use the two-finger-click instead of ctrl-click for right-clicking. But this only works on the new Intel Macbooks/Pro. Well, this is nice.
    For older Laptops with ADB-Trackpad there is a freeware program called iScroll2 which also provides this feature.
    For the late 2005 G4 iBooks with USB-trackpads there is apparently nothing:
    The feature doesn't come with 10.4.7 here and iScroll2 is ADB-only.
    On the one hand I don't really get the problem here, why these machines are not supported.
    Since there is no announcement from apple it seems that they are just not interested in supporting computers which have been sold till not even a year ago.
    If Apple is definitely not planning to support this in the future I would at least expect that they publish the source for the USB-driver so that the open source communitiy can take care of the problem.
    G4 Ibook, among others   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    have you tried installing iScroll? I'm pretty sure it
    should work...by USB trackpad are you referring to a
    trackpad plugged in to your USB port?!? (".)
    Maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough in my OP:
    The late G4 iBooks have a "Apple Internal Trackpad" which is a USB-Device, whereas older models sport an ADB-trackpad. In the late iBooks ADB is no longer present.
    On the iScroll2 page (http://iscroll2.sourceforge.net/) you will find the following information:
    "Models that have two-finger scrolling already built-in are not supported! These use a completely different, USB-based trackpad, the driver or which is not available as open source. iScroll2 is based on Apple's AppleADBMouse-209.0.10 driver for the ADB-based trackpads found on older models, which is available as part of the publicly released Darwin source code.."
    So again: The feature mentioned in the topic is not provided by Apple, nor is the USB driver source code publicly available making it quite unlikely the OSS community will come up with a solution.

  • Can you share/lend books that have bought from iBook with others users?

    Can you share/lend books that have you have bought from iBook with other iPad users?

    At this time, unless I've missed something recently, you cannot. You can load an iBook onto multiple iPads if these are all owned by your household though (you can't give an iBook to a friend, for instance, or a relative that lives elsewhere).
    If the ability to lend books is important to you, you may wish to purchase Kindle books from Amazon, though you'll want to confirm that the book has lending enabled - not all do - and that the Kindle app for iOS supports lending.
    This is one of the several advantages of physical books; the ability to loan them out or give them to someone else. Whether the book publishers will ever allow similar unfettered handling of electronic books is unknown, though I'd guess they'll be dragged to it kicking and screaming.
    Regards.

  • TIP FOR SYNC IBOOKS WITH IPHONE (4 AT LEAST but assuming for others too)

    having trouble sync your ibooks with ya iphone well here what i did and it seems to have worked
    plugged in my iphone 4 into my computer allowed it to sync as normal then go into ibooks tab then de-sync all books msg will appear u will lose all books on iphone do u wish to contintue select yes then await a few mins to allow it to finish
    then disconnect device from PC laptop whatever,
    shut down itunes relaunch it then re plug your phone in and re-sync with sync ibooks as normal
    depending on amount of books u wish to sync they will SLOWLY appear in your iphone
    (ive got 208 ibooks it taken it almost 20 mins to do that but my ibooks is yet again filling up with books ive bought (about time))
    important dont assume it has sync
    KEEP THE PHONE PLUGGED IN EVEN IF ITUNES HAS SAID IT TRANSFERED OVER ..... INSTEAD KEEP CHECKING THE IBOOKS APP FOR CONFIRMATION AS THE PHONE SYNC IS MUCH SLOWER THEN THE INFO .... once all the books u want have synced visually in ibooks app on phone then disconnect
    you can also drag the book icon from your itunes lib into the phone but that not 100% garenteed to work as ive found out (20 odd times with ONE book)
    i hope that helps now to go off and read that third and final book in the series
    sync checked
    tea and snacks check
    feet up check
    " it started as a ..... "

    I don't even care at this point. I just need the phone! I'm on a black/crapberry due to selling my 3g. I was really wanting the white, but quite honestly, now I just want a phone, any color...doesn't matter. With all of the drama going on at my BB where I can't even speak the mobile manager as she is "overwhelmed" anything at this point, referring to the phone in my hands is good news for me.
    I do hope however that those of you that want the coveted white do get it. After all of this drama, they should make a movie...

  • Cannot ping ibook with multiple admin accounts

    i am trying to set up remote control across a LAN, and have had success with two iMac G5's controlled from my dual G5. the problem is that i can't connect to an iBook with exactly the same settings and firewall config.
    in trying to troubleshoot, i have noticed that i can't ping the iBook, and the only thing i can think of that is different is that the iBook has two user accounts, both of which have admin privileges. could this be causing the problem?
    if not, what else could i try? any suggestions, please?

    I doubt very much that the problem is caused by having two user accounts with administrator privileges. I have several systems with multiple admin accounts and have never had them cause a problem with the network.
    Since you can't even ping the iBook, that would seem to make it a problem with the OS or the network, not with Apple Remote Desktop, so you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in the networking forum in the appropriate Mac OS X area.
    Good luck.

  • Using the iBook with the cover closed

    Can you hook up external monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc and use the iBook with the cover closed? I know that usually closing the cover puts it to sleep.

    The keyboard is an important component of the cooling of the CPU. Excess heat dissipates through the keyboard. Closing the cover would cause damage to other components from the heat. You can run iTunes with the screen off if that helps. Do that in systems prefs>energy saver and set the screen to go off in three minutes (or one) and the CPU to stay on indefinetly.

  • If i already published a book can i sell my book as an ibook with apple??

    Hi there ,
    If i already published a book can I sell my book as an ibook with apple??

    Apple do not  really get concerned about authors who publish  elsewhere.
    If you want to publish and sell your books on the Apple  store, you will need to open a paid book account, submit your bank details and  study and agree contracts and you will needs a USA   EIN tax form.
    Your books need to be in an acceptable format, ePub  or if you want the interactive facilities of iBooks Author, you can download the free software and after learning about the application and  its functions and  facilities.
    If you  do not want to be involved  - you can use aggregators, who will do most of the work, but will  need you to cover a fairly substancial outlay first.

  • Can you share any of you ibooks with anyone?

  • Can I share purchased books from iBooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    Can I share purchased books from ibooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    While that's an understandable desire, the publishers don't want you buying a book and sharing it with multiple individuals who others would buy it. The inability to "share" a book or pass it on to a friend or relative when you're done is one of the drawbacks of ebooks vs traditional print ... And consider that when you pass on a real book to your wife, presumably you're not reading it at the same time. :-)
    Some other ebooks do allow limited (time-constrained) sharing of books - Barnes & Noble, for one, I believe - and they have an app for the iPad that would allow you to read books on it.

  • How can i sort PDF's on IBook with the name that starting with numbers

    i import a number of pdf's representing ameeting agenda as the files names (1xxx,1.1xxxx, 2.xxxx,10.xxxx) on ibook , however the files sorted on a diffrent way as file start with 10 on first . so how can i sor the files on the IBook  with its name starting with numbers as1 &1.1 and so on.

    You seem to want a numeric sort but are getting a character sort.
    a number range  would be 0,1,2,3, ... 9,10,11 ...
    sorting like everything else with computers is an algorithm.  Someone needs to define how it works.  When you see a list of files, someone has defined how the list will be sorted. If you compare Windows file sorting to Mac files sorting you will find there are differences.
    In the case of files sorting, the files are sorted on characters from left to right. In file sorting the sorting algorithm does not try to determine that files are numbers.  All files beginning with a 1 will be sorted together becuase the file sorting althorithm doesn't look at the second character position before grouping all the 1's together.
    For what it is worth, there are multple books written on sorting.

  • How to install Tiger to iBook with CD Rom drive?

    My daughter has an iBook currently running OS 10.3.8, and I'd like to upgrade it to run Tiger. Unfortunately her iBook doesn't have DVD read capability, only a CD drive. How do I install Tiger onto her iBook, or is she stuck with Panther forever? I have a G4 PowerBook with Tiger installed, can I use my PB somehow to upgrade her iBook?
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin from Northeast (UK or US?)
    As long as the copy of Tiger that she has is the black retail version then there should be no problems.
    Insert the DVD into the PB. Shut the PB down. Restart the PB holding the T key down until you see the big firewire Y jumping around. Connect the PB and the iBook with a firewire cable. The PB's HD and the loaded Tiger disk will appear in the iBook's Finder. Select the Tiger disk and double click on the 'Install OS X' icon. You will then be presented with a choice of destinations and a choice of installation options.
    (You could, instead, start the iBook in Target Disk Mode and run the installation from the PB. Same difference.)
    Providing your daughter has no problems with her existing Panther installation there is no reason why you shouldn't opt for the 'Upgrade' which will preserve all user settings, preferences, documents etc., although it would be wise to back up to another medium before you start. An external HD is ideal, but spare space in the PB would suffice for her 'Home' folder at least.
    The other choices besides 'Upgrade' are Erase & Install which does exactly what it says, or Archive & Install.
    Not knowing your level of expertise on Macs I don't want to possibly bore you with minutiae but feel free to ask if you're not clear on anything.
    Good luck,
    Adrian

  • Retrieving info off ibook with dead logic board

    our ibook's logic board died, so we bought a new macbook. now we are trying to retrieve stuff off the harddrive of the ibook with firewire.
    i followed the steps to use target disk mode, but the ibook starts up with a blue screen and a floating firewire symbol, and nothing shows up on the macbook at all.
    the repair guy said nothing was wrong with the hard drive, so why can't i access it?
    please help!

    jayson,
    The C clamp method works for some units because of an open circuit short on the logic board isolated at the video card chip in the lower left hand corner of the unit, about dead center 1.25 inch approx. away from the left/bottom edge of the iBook. By appling pressure to that area the chip is forced back down into the logic board, closing the circuit, and enabling the computer to startup, use the display and not go into kernal panic from a open circuit short. As far as getting data off of the HD, the local tech claimed my HD was erased and there was nothing viewable on it. I took it home, applied some pressure with my my hand and viola all my data, user account etc like nothing had happened...its sad but I am sitting next to my old computer clamped to the table with some cardboard shims for protection. Guess its a desktop now until I get it fixed!
