Running 10.4.6 on a G3 iBook and my Adddress Book won't open

sorry, i posted this as a 'reply'-- and have re-posted it:
I have a G3 iBook and my Address Book 4.0 won't open. I have tried re-installing from Tiger but I now have an OS later than Tiger, and am reluctant to go back. Also I don't know how to selectively install, as it doesn't appear to be an open on the install tiger disks. Where is "system" on the installation disks?
Actually, I have the Address book installer, but it immediately closes after I sign in. I don't know if it is defective or something else.
As you might have gathered, I have only elementary knowledge, so gear your suggestions accordingly.
thanks!

Kate,
Tiger is 10.4.x -- did you mean you were reluctant to go back to Panther?
Your version history, and appropriateness of reinstalling is confused -- please clarify?

My book won't open in iBooks on ipad

I Have been reading my book with no problem on my ipad. All of a sudden the book won't open???

Try closing iBooks app via the taskbar and then re-open it and see if that book opens: double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the iBooks app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If not, and if the book is still in your country's store, then delete the book from the bookshelf via the Edit button top right, and then redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iBookstore in the app. If it's no longer in the store then copy the book to your computer's iTunes library (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases), delete it from your iPad, and resync it and retry opening it.

Book won't open in ibooks receive this message failed to load book because the requested resource is missing

Receive this message when I try and open a book " failed to load book because the requested resource is missing" I have deleted the book and deleted Ibooks and still keep getting this message. Any ideas on what I should do.

I have tried deleting and redownloading a few times and still won't work. At one point, I had two icons for the same book, both acting in the same manner. This is just one of many issues I am having with iPad mini. Do you have another suggestion for fixing this?

Firefox suddenly won't open, have run virus scan, reinstalled, and tried to run firefox.exe-p, none have worked and firefox.exe-p won't open either. Win 7

At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (File menu in Windows XP) and then click ExitOn the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Quit FirefoxAt the top of the Firefox window, click on the File menu and select QuitAt the top of the Firefox window, click on the File menu and select ExitOn the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Quit FirefoxAt the top of the Firefox window, click on the File menu and select Quit.
2. Press + R (click the Windows Start button and select Run... on Windows XP).
3. In the Run dialog box, type in:
firefox.exe -p
4. Click OK.
Acts the same as trying to open FireFox. Also when reinstalling it said FF was open. The only way to close it was to restart the computer. However when Shut Down button is pushed, FF is not listed as a program that is open.

Hi geneo3711, <br/> sorry you are having problems.
There are many possible reasons for problems lets look first at the ones I consider most likely:
In ordinary circumstances Firefox only runs one instance using one profile. If you have Firefox not shutting down properly that may prevent you from starting Fifrefox until you have found and killed the process. (Also look for plugincontainer which may also exist).
If you are certain Firefox is not already running then the problem is often that a Firewall or security related program is blocking Firefox. This is especially likely if you have installed new security software ,a new version of Firefox, or have tried to restore the computer.

My old ibook and new mac book pro

Hi, Hope someone can solve my problem. Thanks!
I had a ibook G4 which just dead already, cannot start-up, but the hard disk can be take out from my ibook and the data is still in the hard disk.
If I buy a new mac book, How can I transfer my ibook data, setting, itune account, etc. to my new mac book? but the ibook cannot start-up anymore. How can i solve it ?

Even if your old Mac cannot start up it still may work in target disk mode. (Start up holding the T key down) If it does connect it to your new Mac using a firewire cable the new Mac will then see the old one as an external disk and Apple's utility will do the job. If target disk mode will not work get an external case for the hard drive and it will become an external drive (I got mine from Macsales) Be sure you get the correct kind. A case for serial ATA case won't work. A firewire case will work fine. A USB case may not need a power supply for the drive and will be slower.

Files Migrated From iBook G4 to PowerMac G5 Won't Open

I can't open my files which I migrated from my iBook G4 to my PowerMac G5. It says permission denied. Both computers have the same operating system.
I repaired permissions and now I can't even open the folder. There's a red circle with a minus sign next to all the folders except the documents folder. However nothing shows in it except when I click on Get Info then I can see the MB of contents.
Now I'm wondering what will happen when I migrate all my PowerMac G5's files over to my new iMac. Will I have the same problem?
Luckily the files on my iBook G4 are small enough I can put them on a CD. I can't say the same for my G5 files.

Normally Migration assistant has no problems.
There are caveats migrating from PPC to Intel, I had no problems, but see Kappy's fine/detailed "A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs"...

IBook shows as downloaded but won't open

I downloaded a book from iBooks it shows as downloaded but won't open?

Hello Coastalcharm
Start with the troubleshooting in the article below and simply restart your iPhone or iPad. If that does not work, then try deleting the book and download the book again. You may end up having to delete iBooks and install it again.

Sharing between iBook and Kindell app books

i have books on my kindell app , and would lim e to read them on iBook, is there a way to share files,books between both iBook and kindell

Purchased books from Amazon can't be read in iBooks, and vice versa.

I often get an error message when I try to open Firefox 8.0.1 that it's already running...it isn't...and the only way I can open it is to restart my computer. Is there a way to fix that problem or to download an older version that doesn't do that?

I tried downloaded the browser again from IE, but that hasn't helped the problem.

[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] has steps that you can try. It sounds like you may have something that is hanging your browser on exit (probably an extension or a locked profile) and the steps on that page should help clear it up.

PS and AI (CC and also CS6) often won't open unless I run as administrator.

(running Window 7, 64-bit)
Very usually, though not always, I cannot open PS or AI except if I run them as administrator. (This is particularly frustrating when trying to "edit in" from LR 5.) This problem began with the CC versions and now happens with the CS6 versions as well (which have always before opened normally). Only LR 5, which I purchased, and Bridge open normally. The other apps work normally once open, but opening them is a hassle.
When I run them as administrator, I first have to give permission for the program to make changes to my computer. Then I am required to accept the licensing agreement yet again. Once open, the programs function normally.
I have the Cloud desktop app, which worked normally when I installed it. Now, it, requires a sign-in (and license acceptance), as do the files that are uploaded to the Cloud. The uploaded files, accessed from a browser, always have required a sign-in (necessarily), but why the desktop app or the other apps that are installed and run from desktop? (My internet connection is always on; I'm not trying to work off-line.)
I've checked my account, and the few apps I've purchased (e.g., LR 5) are properly registered. My Cloud membership is up to date. All the apps I've installed are up to date as well.
Since this behavior is relatively recent, it doesn't seem to be just something annoying but normal. Can anyone help, please? I would like at least to understand what is happening.
Gail

Hi Gail,
I have Windows 7 64-bit and don't experience this behavior. From my experience this usually occurs when using a standard user account and the UAC settings on the system.
If you are using a standard user option six here might be a long term solution
I've see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11841-run-administrator.html
It might also be an interesting test to see if you get the same behavior in a newly created admin account.

TS1702 My book won't open. I get a message saying formatting is wrong for iBooks.

Can't open a recently purchased book. Message says formatting is wrong.

Where did you purchase the book?
If it is from the iBooks Store, you can delete the book and then go to the Store, click "Purchased" in the lower right, and re-download it.
If it is not from the iBooks Store, there might indeed be a format inconsistency.

Why do iBooks and Kindle apps close when I open new ebooks?

I downloaded 2 new ebooks and they don't stay open in iBooks, Kindle app, or Safari. They immediately close. When OS 7 upgraded I lost most of my eBooks. Now the new ones won't stay open for more than a few seconds. The books are PDF files 24,000K and are not compressed. Many thanks!

Try force quitting them. Double tap the home button. You'll see the app icons and little preview windows line up. Flick those previews up and off the screen to force close the app. Close as many or as few as you want.
Single tap the home button or tap on the main page preview to exit the mode. See if that helps.

I downloaded an ibook and now cannot get it to open.

I downloaded an ibook from itunes onto my Mac but I cannot get the book to open.

You can't open it on a Mac. Only on an iOS device.

I updated to Firefox 4 and ever since it won't open. It says the process is running but no matter how long I wait it won't open the browser and restarting or ending the process and trying again doesn't work either. Is there any way to fix this?

I thought it might be a compatibility issue with Windows Vista but the same problem happened on a computer with Windows 7. I'm not sure if the Windows 7 problem was resolved, though.

You probably have other problems but for a start right click on your task bar and click on Start Task Manager. In "Applications" if Firefox is shown, click on "End Task". In "Processes" if Firefox.exe is shown, click on "End Process" and ignore the warning and click"End Process" again. Wait for a few seconds then start Firefox in the usual way. There is a chance that this may solve your problems.
If not, you probably will need to do a complete uninstall and re-install. If you can't start Firefox you could try starting in Safe Mode - Hold down Shift key as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens>and Continue. If you've been able to open Firefox you could work through this Troubleshooting Procedure -
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
If at any stage you are not making progress, report back here for best advice on an Uninstall/Re-install which is quite likely to be necessary.

A picture iBooks on my ipad 2 won't open a picture in pdf. It blinks and takes me back to the main screen.

I have saved a picture in pdf form to my ipad2, but when I attempt to open it, the screen blinks and returns to the main screen. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Do a reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
