Updating/upgrading eMac that hasn't been kept updated

Let me start by saying I purchased this Mac 5-6 years ago. About two years ago the display started getting fuzzy kind of like your eyes are out of focus. Service man came out to fix it under warranty, couldn't fix it so they refunded my money. I bought it with the intentions of really learning about the Mac platforms but needless to say I haven't been very dilligent or sucessful at that.
Cutting to the chase my daughter who is 12 now had the mac and nothing has really ever been updated. It runs OS 9.?.? and OS X 10.?.? I want to move the computer to my youngest chlids room so they can see Disney stuff etc. on the internet but I cant upgrade to flash player 8 or higher which is what these sights require. The Internet explorer 5.1 (needs updating) keeps crashing.
Everything needs updating but I don't think I want to spend the money to update to OS X tiger just so my 4 and 5 year old can have usefule machine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
eMac   Mac OS X (10.0.x)  

fishkiller,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If the eMac's CRT is irreparably fuzzy and out of focus, you really shouldn't let young children use it at all. Attempting to focus on such images can adversely affect development of the eye muscles.
You could use it with the built-in display masked off and using a US$20 miniVGA adapter to attach a standard VGA monitor. If you don't happen to have an old-but-serviceable VGA monitor lying around, ask around and call local businesses --- most people with old VGA CRTs stashed in a closet would be only to happy to give it away for free rather than having to haul it to a recycling center.
If your eMac has at least OS X 10.2 on it, you can download the OS X Update Combo 10.2.8. If the eMac has OS X 10.1.4, you can go through the Apple Downloads to upgrade to 10.1.5 but there are no current browsers I'm aware of that support 10.1.x
There area number of browsers that are still updated and will run under OS X 10.2, such as Firefox.

  • Approval procedure when update sales order that hasn't been approved

    Dear Experts
    I need some advice
    Example:
    - BP credit limit = 100
    - Create New Sales order with amount 90, doesnu2019t need trigger approval procedure, because the amount is still under limit
    - Update the SO amount to be 110, approval procedure should be triggered
    But in SBO, approval procedure is not triggered for update transaction even for SO has not yet been approved, is it a bug? Will it be improved in SBO 8.8?
    Is there any other way to trigger approval procedure in update mode? May be through store procedure or add on?
    Really appreciate your help
    Best Regards
    JeiMing

    Dear Gordon
    I understand the concept for approval will not be triggered anymore for approved SO, because once a transaction has been approved, user will not be allowed to make any changes that related with the approval. And SBO has been made restriction for that. It is good
    But, It doesn't make sense, for SO that even the approval has not been yet executed. And SBO still allow user to make any changes such as quantity and total amount. And SBO do not trigger the approval if the modification meet approval condition
    If SBO was designed not trigger approval in update mode  to avoid endless loop as what you said, why SBO still allow user to make any changes in unapproved SO ? it makes user can avoid the approval
    Don't you think this is a bug ?
    Please advice
    Best Regards

    The ipod is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer, to your new one.

  • I have the MacBook white and there hasn't been any updates in a while. I need to update to version 10.5 and im still on 10.4.11. Can anyone tell me what to do?

    I have a MacBook white and there hasn't been an update for the Mac OS X (10.5). I'm still running on version 10.4.11. can someone tell me why I haven't gotten the update?

    Because you must purchase major upgrades. I advise skipping Leopard and going directly to Snow Leopard:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used for a while.  Now we want to use it, but the screen says "ipod is disabled connect to itunes"--but it won't connect.  I have tried to place in recovery mode with directions given but still get the same message.

    I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used in a while.  We want to use it now, but the screen says "ipod disabled.  connect to itunes".  When I connect to itunes it tells me to enter my passcode, however the ipod will not allow me to do anything (and I don't know the code anyway).  I tried to put it in recovery mode as someone suggested by holding the home button while plugging the ipod up from the computer, but I never did get the "connect to itunes" symbol, I continually got the same screen saying "ipod disabled connect to itunes".  Help!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • HT5622 How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account no longer exists?

    How do you get rid of an old Apple ID that hasn't been used in a while in which you no longer remember the password and the email account it's tied to no longer exists?

    The password will not be sent to you, because Apple does not know it. They will send a link where you can reset the password. It will be sent to your Rescue email address, not the iCloud email address. If you don't have one contact Apple Account Security and they can reset it for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe id that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device

    When I try to download a library book on my Kobo reader, I keep getting this message. First it tells me to change the computer's authorization to be associated with an Adobe ID. When I click on authorize after logging in, the message keeps telling my "you can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn't been previously used to authorize any other computer or mobile device. I have no idea what this means. Help!

    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    Another is  "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

    jack,
    there is no link with OBTD to OJDT and JDT1.
    voucher number in obdt is different,
    after posting voucher is saved as journal entry seperate
    number is generated.
    you can link OACT,OCRD WITH OJDT,JDT1.
