Trying to upgrade OS X and need help
I have a 1.5 Ghz PowerPC G4 with 1 GB SDRAM with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and I am trying to upgrade the OS but am having problems. I have tried to install 10.4.7 and when I restart the computer an error screen comes up. Can anyone help me ?
Hi presston,
First of all, Welcome to the Discussion Forums!
This may be a stupid observation...but...you mention that you tried to install 10.4.7....which led me to think that you might be trying to download and "update" the software using the 10.4.7 Apple download. If you are new to Macs, perhaps a Windows switcher, you might not be aware that you need to purchase full retail install disks to upgrade from one full OS version to the next ie. 10.3 Panther to 10.4 Tiger. Point updates to the OS such as 10.3.x-10.3.9 are free updates via Apple Downloads as are 10.4.x-10.4.12 etc.
See: "Software update, upgrade--what's the difference?"
When I noticed that you mentioned the specific "point" update to 10.4 (.7) I thought there might be the outside chance that this might be the problem. This is a common mistake that many users make so I just wanted to mention in case you were not aware.
My apologies if that is not the problem and hence it is probably as Tom suggests that you are using the wrong type of disk to install,

Who were you talking to at Adobe? You'll have to get help from web chat since serial number issues can't be handled in a public forum. Here's a link:

Hi, I just upgraded to mavericks and need help!
When I purchaced the mac I was married and my ex set it up using her apple id. I have no idea what her id is. Can anyone help or did I throw away my cpu because I upgraded.
Purchases and downloads made via the App Store are tied to an Apple ID and you don't have one.
How did you download Mavericks? Her old ID?
Then you'll need to revert the machine to its "original" OS (the version it shipped with), Get your own Apple ID and download Mavericks again. -

I'm trying to download sheet music and need to run sibelius scorch add-on in 32 bit model. I have a mac running lion and the latest safari. I have downloaded FireFox 6 and run it in 32 bit but still I can't see the music score to print. Can anyone help?
Hello,
There are no files like that in that folder (com.apple.safari). They all have long numbers with .jpeg or .png at the end. That's what I meant by I cannot find any files like those mentioned in all the helps I read today. BTW-it's still crashing - no particular pattern to it at all.
The only two things I have downloaded recently is a new version of Flash and a Mac-driven update to Office.
Thank you very much for your attempt to help us.

Ok so I have a free standing iSight Cam, is it possible to use it with my white MacBook ? and if so how do I go about it ? I've tried researching for updates, drives but need help. Can someone give me some direction ?

OK so yes, but if, and only if:
(1) your MacBook has a Firewire port (not all do)
- and -
(2) your old external iSight camera works (not all do)
- and -
(3) your MacBook is working properly.
If you are not certain whether your MacBook model has Firewire, you can search MacBook Technical Specifications for your model. Alternatively, check the User Guide Manual that came with your MacBook for the information you need to be certain.
If you are not certain that your old external iSight camera works, you can test it using the suggestions in this link.
jpatricio787 wrote: ... if so how do I go about it ? ...
Follow the instructions in your iSight User's Guide to connect and turn on the iSight. Then launch the Apple app you want to use with your iSight. If you need more information about using an app, search for "camera" (without the quote marks) in the Help menu choice for the app.

If you need more direction, post back the specifics of what you still need. We will offer further direction based on the details of your reply.

I upgraded my computer and need a link to download Acrobat Pro 9 MAC. I have my serial number but do not have my disc. Please help and send link. Thank you. My MacPro computer is slowly dying and I need to get going with Acrobat Pro 9.
Unfortunately, Adobe has quit support of earlier version. They have a version of AA9 Pro for Windows posted, but not for the MAC as I understand it. You can try Adobe Acrobat X (10) Pro, Reader, and Suite Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools, but again I can only find PC versions. Someone may drop by with a link or you might see if anyone locally has the CD (that you could get the install file from). You will still need to use your original S/N.

I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
Reset the Printing System:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs. -
I'm trying to upgrade an ipad and in the system under general there is no software update. What do I do?
The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

I'm not very good with computers and need help. My LR 4 and LR 5 upgrade are on disk but my new MacBook Pro doesn't use disk. How do I load LR on my new computer? Also, how do I get the photos from LR on my old computer to the new computer?
You can download Lightroom thru the link(s) below. If you only want to install the version 5 upgrade you do not need to install 4 first - you likely just need to provide the serial number for it when you activate 5.

As far as transferring photos goes, that is something you might get help for in the Photoshop Lightroom forum. But you could wait here and see if anyone knows, or you could search Google and probably find out how. -

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can also Google for YouTube videos that show how to do it -

Need your help I am color blind and need help ASAP
I am color blind and need help with this issue. I have the 8520 and t-mobile service. I went to the accessibility wizard and chose the reverse color mode. That is black background with white font. Here starts the problem when you select this option it changes your photos into negatives and also changes the home screen to bright gray . I can not see these colors. What I need is almost like looking at old DOS font Black backgrounds with white or yellow fonts. I have been trying to find a theme but no luck.
The option of reverse contrast would be great if it did not flip photos or the home screen.
Can someone please help me
I would be happy to talk to you in detail to better explain the problem.
Thanks in advance
TJ
I posted t this message in the wrong area before. I hope this is the correct area.
Mods please remove the message posted in the 8300 series area thanks TJJust a follow up on this matter. I spent most of the day and a few hours at work on this problem.
I called T-mobile and was transfered to Blackberry support within T-mobile then to Blackberry RIM . They asked the same questions as everyone else said how much they wanted to help. After about an hour they gave up. They could find no apps or themes that are basic black with white font. The tech could not explain why the designers fell short with reverse contrast . I ask this question why would a programmer or anyone want to see all photos in negative media. I spoke with a local news station about this whole matter and they said give the store one more attempt to make it right. T-mobile said they would sell me another phone at a discount but would not take the Blackberry back because I was out of my7 14 day window. note I have been trying to fix this with T-mobile starting 12/04/09 when I bought the phone. So buyer beware....
Back to the matter. a very simple fix could be done by BLACKBERRY make a theme for the 8520 that is black background white font in all areas. Leave the internet as normal ie: browser let photos look like they should and sell the theme or app like everyone else.
To be honest if I knew how to do it I would build it myself and give it away for free people need this type of theme.
Thanks for reading my rant everyone.
