Question of 2nd Gen(??) iBook

Hi, I'm new to the discussions. I've had an iBook since 2000. It was kept moderalty up to date for a year or so, but it was slow, and for a time, I had no internet connection, so the need for a laptop or computer of any kind was unnesscary. I have kept it safe for the past 7 years, but for the last year and a half or so, I have had a windows PC desktop, and contuine to have it updated. I enjoy playing online games, but nothing extremly graphicly mind-bending. I digress. I spend quite a bit of my spare time while on the computer playing a game called "Runescape". I have downloaded a few of the free downloads on the Apple website that I think may help, although I must admit I don't really have a great grasp of Mac programs. I have what I believe to be the 2nd edtion of the iBook, as it has a FireWire port on the side, but not 2 USB ports. I tried to play Runescape, but it wouldn't pull up the second page. I would very much like to play the game on my laptop. Any help would be rewarded with praise and apprecation.
iBook (firewire port???)     I really need help

This really isn't the best forum for questions about an iBook. This forum is for questions about older, pre-G3, Apple laptops. Normally you'll get the most help if you ask in the iBook area appropriate for your system and question.
Anyway, as to Runescape, you might find this thread from another site helpful:

And just FYI, all iBooks have at least one USB port, and most have a Firewire port as well (the early colored models do not have Firewire). You might want to take a look here to definitely identify which model you have:

  • Questions about 2nd gen AppleTV

    I have a 1st gen AppleTV and see no reason to upgrade.  However, after using youtube on the 1st gen, I'd like to know how well youtube and vimeo work on the 2nd gen.  On the 1st gen, if you watch several youtube videos, you have to back out (click menu button) of all those videos plus a few more clicks to get out of youtube before you are back at the main menu.  Does the 2nd gen work this way?
    It is probably more youtube, but sometimes, buffering takes a while before a video will play.
    I'm not sure how the 1st gen selects youtube video resolution (360, 480, 720, 1080).  Does any one know?   Does any one know how the 2nd gen selects youtube resolution?
    How does the 2nd gen select between HD and regular resolution on Vimeo?
    I do have a TV that can play 1080p but all of my iTunes videos max at 720p.  Is the 2nd gen still max resolution of 720p like the 1st gen?
    thanks.

    You Tube is pretty much the same on both, including resolution, buffering is likely caused by your network or internet connection. I have no information about Vimeo, the Apple TV 2 can still only play 720p.

  • Odd question: Does 2nd gen touch come with a screen protector?

    Mine seems to have a screen protector-like film stuck quite firmly on to my Touch.
    One can tell especially near the button at the bottom where the film is detaching just a little bit (a few mm). I feel tempted to start pulling it off (and maybe applying a new protector that I can purchase. But I'm afraid that I'll mess up some sort of original equipment on the Touch.
    Am I losing my mind?
    Aloke

    It is stuck so well that it feels like a screen protector, not like those flimsy protectors that come on electronic devices. It has a glossy look that attracts fingerprints.
    So, to confirm: the iPod Touch 2nd gen comes with nothing on its surface.. just a slab of glass?

  • Question about 2nd gen itouch

    will it ever have all of the OS4 features? or are we permanently screwed?

    According to Apple and due to the hardware limitations in the 2nd Gen., it will never have ALL of the features. Just what you have now with iOS 4 if you have it installed.

  • Need Immediate Help with iBook 2nd Gen

    Hi, I have what I think is a 2nd Gen iBook. It is Graphite. It has a firewire port, but it is shaped like a clamshell. I bought it in 2000 and it was updated in 2001, with increased memory. I really enjoy playing an online video game called RuneScape. I tried to log on earlier, to no avail. It brought up the homepage, except the fullpage didn't load. I would really like to be able to relax and enjoy playing the game, but knowing next to nothing about Mac computer programs. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks. -Grant

    Hi Grant -
    You can try updating your system to 9.2.2 by downloading these updates (starting with 9.1) in sequential order...
    http://pure-mac.com/appud.html#macos91
    This will upgrade your Java programing and may allow you to run that game in your browser.
    As for browsers, after you get OS 9 updated I suggest downloading this Mozilla version ...there's a good chance it will run better than the Internet Explorer you have. Clicking this link will start the download...

  • Some songs can't be loaded on 2nd gen ipod shuffle (question with answer)

    I'm getting the following message when trying to load some songs on to my 2nd gen iPod shuffle:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including 'Allegro', were not copied to the iPod "iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." When I click on the details triangle I get "Allegro" was not copied because the audio format is not supported by the iPod "iPod".
    This is happening for many songs that were previously loaded on this iPod. The songs were all loaded into iTunes from CDs. I have tried the iPod reset utility, deleting all songs and reloading, selecting a single song to sync, no luck.
    When I do a "Get Info" on these songs they say they were encoded with either iTunes 6.0.5 or iTunes 7.0.2.
    OK. Even before I was able to post the question, I found the answer. If I select the songs and from the "Advanced" menu select "Create AAC version", the AAC version can be copied to the iPod. Get Info shows the encoding has changed so AAC and iTunes 9.0.1.
    Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem.

    You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

  • Where can I download an older version of ibooks for my 2nd gen touch?

    My Ipod touch crashed, then when I tried to restore from a back up it said the back up was corrupt!
    I now have no way of reading any of my books.
    When I move my books from Itunes to my ipod I get a message telling me that I must install Ibooks to read any of my books. But as I have a 2nd gen Ipod i cannot download the new ibooks
    Is there anyway I can download an old version of Ibooks or use another app to read them? I have tried installing kindle and stanza but they require a newer IOS.
    I have installed ereader but it can't locate any books in my library...
    I'm more than a little annoyed! Can someone help?

    Well, when I pay several hundred dollars for something, I expect to be able to use it for more than a couple years.
    Your iPod stopped working, did it?
    and no, my 2nd gen iPod does NOT do anything even close to what it did when I bought it.
    I don't believe that for an instant. List one thing that your iPod was advertised or otherwise promised by Apple to do when you bought it that it doesn't do now. And I don't mean apps that you failed to download when they were issued in a version that would run on iOS 4.2.1 and that now require a newer version of iOS.
    In any case, if you're that unhappy, go buy an Android device, then. But I suggest you price them out first. You may find that they're really not cheaper, particularly if you want to keep up with anything like current Android releases. I doubt anyone here really cares if you find some other product you think suits you better.

  • HT201272 I am using Apple ipod 2nd gen with IOS 4.2.1 . No i recently updated my IOS and all my apps were deleted. Now when i download IBOOKS it needs IOS 5. How do i get the apps which are copatible with IOS 4.2.1 or IPOS 2nd GEN??

    You should always have your apps on your computer.  If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
    Sorry.
    Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

  • * Buying Vado HD - 1st or 2nd gen? and question about pricing *

    Hi.
    I want to buy the Vado HD. I'm deliberating between the st and the 2nd gen. Can you help me with that?
    Second question, how come the 2nd gen (that supposed to be better and newer) costs less than the st gen?! (99$ for the 2nd gen and 229$ for the st gen).
    Thanks,
    Adam

    CRe: * Buying Vado HD - st or 2nd gen? and question about pricing *# To me the Vado Rev3 seems to be trying to get the same feature set as a digial Camera with HD recording capabilty....except the cameras take better stills. I have the below Canon and the Vado HD Rev.
    http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-SD780IS2--Stabilized-Black/dp/B00SER47Y
    We don't use the vado anymore since the camera is always with us.
    Factor into the price of the Canon also purchasing a highspeed 6GB sd card.
    if you are really sold on a Vado...look at the comparison here:
    http://www.myvado.com/products/comparison.aspx
    Note how they reduced the recording time of the new models to only 4gb instead of 8gb.....however, the newer units nati'vely record to MP4 which is a little easier on some software programs than the AVI container.

  • Recently updated iPad 2nd gen and wooden bookcase is gone form iBook app now just a white screen

    recently updated iPad 2nd gen and wooden bookcase is gone form iBook app now just a white screen

    Yes, if you updated to iOS 7 you also got a new version of iBooks.  The new iBooks app does not have the wooden shelf theme at all.  The library has been re-styled for iOS 7 to be a plain white area listing your book or pdfs.

  • Touch 1st gen and 2nd gen headphone jack question

    Alright so my headphone jack crapped the bed and i was looking into just buying the jack and repairing it myself. Now when i look on the internet for a headphone jack, the only things i see sold are 2nd gen hp-jacks. now would this work in my first generation ipod touch? they look identical. I just want to confirm before i buy it.

    the only difference between the the two jacks is the 2G has three contacts compared to just two on the 1g. I would rather replace the 1G's headphone jack with the 2G. Two contacts are for stereo left and right. The three contacts for the 2G is for stereo left and right plus mic. Then you can use your 1g to make wifi calls with Skype. I plan on doing this to my 1g as my 2G already has it from the factory which is one of the changes of the 2G from the 1G. Let me know how it goes.

  • Question for audiophiles using Airplay with Apple TV 2nd Gen

    I'm using AirPlay on my iphone to play music to the Apple TV 2nd gen. (running optical out of AppleTV into high quality Rotel receiver)  I'm hearing what I believe is best called "pumping" in the audio: the volume is modulating in waves, and the music sounds distant.  I can't figure out what would cause this.  I've got excellent signal strength so I don't think it's a bandwidth problem where the devices might be over-compressing and thus introducing artifacts.
    I've done A/B comparisons with the same song, hardwired to my receiver, and I've heard it on all the tracks I'm streaming, so I know it's not in the recording.
    Has anyone experienced this phenomenon?  Thanks.

    Sorry, I can only offer sympathies and the fact that I also had this issue with wired connections, using XBMC on my Mac Mini to play out to an Audiolab M-DAC. Unfortunately I made lots of changes trying to set up my Media Center, so I don't know what made it go away!
    Just saying that it's not neccessarily an Airplay issue.

  • Question about firewire AC adaptor and iPod Nano (1st and 2nd gen)

    I have an AC adaptor from the Mini, model #A1070 W008A130 and I was wondering if it was compatible with both the 1st and 2nd gen Nanos.
    I've been unable to find any power specifications and just want to make sure I'm not going to burn both mine and my girlfriend's Nanos out when we charge them away from a computer.
    Thanks in advance.

  • IPod touch 2nd gen Bluetooth question

    I'm wondering if the iPod 2nd gen has Bluetooth. I'm getting mixed answers from unreliable sources, and I'm hoping for the straight poop.
    If the 2nd gen doesn't, then what about the 3rd gen?
    Thanks.

    -superd@ve

    Thanks for the article, roaminggnome. That confirmed my suspicions. For some reason, bluetooth is not listed as a wireless interface on the product specs... don't know what that's all about...
    I was wondering this because I was going to need bluetooth headphones for my computer, and I couldn't warrant that kind of purchase unless I could use it with another device(s).
    Thanks for the help!!
