Upgrade Mac OS on my iBook and compatibility with iMac

Hello,
I had an iBook bought around 2002 in the US and it's a G3. I've moved to Thailand and haven't used it a lot due to limited applicability in Thailand. But now, Mac is more available so I'm now considering bought the new iMac. I wonder if I can upgrade the OS X on my iBook to the latest one so that I can have my old iBook sync-ing with the new iMac. And, to use the new features such as time machine, etc... Does anyone know or have done this before? Please help advise.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
The iBook G3 (Dual USB) can run Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), but cannot run the newest Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Time Machine is a feature of Leopard, so is not available for the iBook.
I'm not sure how well syncing works between the two OSes, since I don't sync my computers. You can access one from the other, however. I access my eMac (in OS 9.2.2) from my MacBook (in OS 10.4.10), both saving files to the eMac and retrieving files from it.

Appleworks docs and compatibility with iWorks application?

Appleworks docs and compatibility with iWorks application? Does it exists? I do not have iWorks and will soon be upgrading my op sys to 10.4 (it really is in the mail) I currentl have 10.2.8
I use AppleWorks a great deal. Does iWorks replace it? or enhance it?
Will AppleWorks be upgraded or is 6.2.9 the last iteration?

Welcome to Apple Discussions SYGWS
iWork (no "s") is not an application, but the name given to the package of two applications, Keynote & Pages.
Keynote is a presentation application that can open AppleWorks 6 presentation files & PowerPoint files. I haven't use Keynote other than to view a few presentation. You probably can find a lot of information by searching the Keynote forum.
Pages is the word processing/page layout application in iWork. Pages is able to open AppleWorks 6 word processing document as well as Word, text & RTF documents. It is not able to open any other AppleWorks documents or older Word documents (I'm not sure how far back it goes). Pages 1 (iWork '05) will not display floating spreadsheet frames in AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, Pages 2 can. Pages 2 has limited spreadsheet functions available in tables (as does Keynote 3, both in iWork '06). Pages can export as PDF, Word, plain text, RTF & HTML (HTML export is disappointing to say the least). It cannot export as AppleWorks (any version).
No one here knows for sure if AppleWorks will ever get another update & those that do have signed non-disclosure agreements, but it is extremely unlikely. In the iWork ’05 press release iWork is said to be "building the successor to AppleWorks."
Many users here, like me, use Pages for what it does so well & AppleWorks for what it does that iWork doesn't (at least not yet) - databases, spreadsheets & drawing.

Problems with Apple Preview filled forms and compatibility with Windows?

Anyone else having problems with Apple Preview filled out forms and compatibility with Microsoft Windows after Lion?
I've had it happen recently with two different people, where the data I had entered on a fillable PDF form could not be seen by Microsoft Windows, but I saw my data just fine.
I don't know what version of Adobe Acrobat they were running.
Thanks,
kt

You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

Sorry, no. The versions for Macs and iDevices are different.

Can't drag and drop nor copy and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.

Can't drag and drop nor copy and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1. Not with iTunes, MS Word, nor Pages. No where. Reboot or relogging in helps for about an hour. Hard reset worked for a short time. Per Apple support, most likely will reinstall the operation system. Just wondered if anybody else has run into this. Did a disk scan, and that was fine. And did rebooting, holding down CMD+OPT+R, and P.. Deleted all the start up programs. Checked the internet, no solutions there. So it all appears to be OS redo time.

I removed the NextDef plug in over 24 hours ago, restarted and haven't had a single issue with drag and drop or cut and paste since.

Mac Book Pro from mid 2009 compatability with Apple displays

Make sure the pins are correct for it. There is DVI-D as well so you need to double check that you are purchasing the correct one.

Upgrade from FCE HD and compatability i7 Imac

I have a copy of FCE HD version3 that's 3 maybe 4 years old - used it on a Duel 2 gig Power PC Power Mac. Will it run it on a 2.88 i7 Imac. If I upgrade to FCE 4 will that upgrade this software and will the upgraded software then work on the i7 Imac.

Only FCE4 is supported on Snow Leopard.
You should purchase the FCE4 Upgrade (reduced price).
_Do not_ install the old FCE HD v3 on your new iMac.
Just install from the FCE4 Upgrade disk and enter the serial number from your old version 3 and the serial number from the upgrade version 4. It will install a complete copy of FCE4 on your i7 iMac.

MSI GX660R with intel motherboard and compatibility with Samsung 840 EVO SSD

Hi
Im am new to this forum, so I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong section.
I am considering to replace the hard drive in my MSI GX660R with a Samsung 840 EVO 250 gb ssd, since it has the best benchmark ratings and are very afordable. My laptop has an Intel motherboard with an i7 core processor.
My question in relation to the upgrade is, whether the laptop is compatible with that excact ssd. I plan to run it in AHCI mode, since I have bad expirience with loss of data under RAID. If i chose to run the extra HDD as a secondary drive, it will therefore still be under AHCI.
Can anyone refer me to some sort of compatibility list, or tell me if the above mentioned drive is compatible? I havent been able to find out myself, and MSI is farily difficult to get in contact with.
Any help is appreciated.

Yes, your early 2013 Retina model uses 6.0 Gbps SATA but it's not a standard mSATA connection. You could upgrade using Transcend's JetFlash -> http://www.transcend-info.com/apple/jetdrive/ - to space up to 960GB, however.

InDesign CS2 - 100 document limit and compatibility with newer versions

Hello,
I have Adobe InDesign CS2 and am using it to compile a large report. I have come across a problem once i tried to add more than 100 documents to my book and now see there is a 100 file limit to books in CS2. Each document needs to stay as a single file so i am unable to join files to overcome this problem.
I have a summary table at the beginning of the document detailing the title of each file in the book. I am unable to work out how to create page hyperlinks in the pdf to the second book (documents over the 100 mark).
It has since come to fruition that my company has updates to CS3 and CS5 and that these new versions do not have a 100 file limit in creating books. This document i am creating is over 400 pages long so i am wary of upgrading to a new version when i am not far from publishing.
Should i have any concerns in upgrading to a new version of InDesign when i have almost finished my report? Would it be better to just upgrade to CS3 and not make such a large jump to CS5? Or does anyone know how to create page hyperlinks in my pdf to the files contained in the second book?
Thanks for any help! Much appreciated.

Normally I would advise against changing versions in midstream on a project like this, but I'm not sure you have a choice. My instinct is there will be fewer issues moving to CS3 than CS5, but there are far more features in CS5 you might like to use...
One way to limit the possible anomalies would be to export all the CS2 files to .inx na open those in CS5, rather than converting the .indd files directly, then save as new CS5 .indd files and add to a new book. One very serious issue you may run into wehn moving to a later version is that the text engines are updated and text won't necessarily flow exactly the same, particualry justified text, which can cause line endings to move and some paragraphs may gain or lose a line, which can have a really devastating effect on a long doc if it causes a page count to shift. The killer is that the changes normally don't happen until you start to edit text in that story. I believe the .inx route will force a recompose on opening, but I'm not dead certain, so take a look at http://indesignsecrets.com/force-text-reflow-when-indesign-forgets-to-flow-the-text.php to see how to force the recompose manually as soon as you open the file (you'd only need to do it once, before saving in the new version, for each file), then check carefully for oversets or other problems. Live preflight in CS5 can help with that.
As you can tell, a successful move to a newer version is likely to be a lot of careful work preparing and checking the files. Some of it can be automated (the export to .inx, the recompose, and the save in the new version) by scripting, but in all honesty you're going to need to check every page when you are done.
One of the others who uses Hyperlinks will need to weigh in on ID's native abilities and linking to other files in a book. I know that doing that with cross-references (which don't even exist natively prior to CS4) is extremely likely to break down at some point and leave you trying to remake them all, and large numbers of links across docs is likely to slow CS5 in particular to a crawl unless all files (at least the ones to which there are links in the doc you are editing) in the book are open.

SAP ERP 6 system and compatibility with BW systems.

Hi All,
An upgrade to a ECC 6.0 system form 4.6C or 4.7 system is fine. But however, in an integrated environment - the 4.6C system is usually integrated with other SAP Products as well.
The question I have is is a ECC 6.0 system compatible with BW 3.5 or lower versions of BW - i.e. when I upgrade my system to an ECC 6.0 system can these systems still talk in between themselves, or I have to plan a upgrade for this?
If the answer is yes - is it mentioned in any SAP Note/ Website or Document as because I also need an artifact to support the answer.
Thanks, Dibya

Hi Dibya
the component lists (from service.sap.com/scl) document for each release, which product instance is needed for which process (i.e. ECC and NW - BI). This source includes information about old releases as well, but not about mixtures between releases.
In the Upgrade Dependency Analyser will you find information about these mixtures (see for instance: SAP Network Blog: New Tool for Planning Your Upgrade: The Upgrade Dependency Analyzer : New Tool for Planning Your Upgrade: The Upgrade Dependency Analyzer)

New Mac os x 10.9.4 compatibility with photoshop 7

I currently use photoshop 7 on an HP. I just bought a Mac os x 10.9.4 and would like to still us photoshop 7 because that is what i know how to drive. Will photoshop 7 work with os 10.9.4?

No, photoshop 7 will not work on mac os x 10.9.4 mavericks.
Photoshop 7 for mac os requires a PowerPC processor and your mac has an intel processor.
Apple's transition to Intel processors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also. sounds like you have the windows version, which wouldn't work on the mac side anyway.
Any photoshop version of cs3 and newer should work on your mac, but i would suggest not trying to find a used version, but instead go with photoshop cs6 (buy) or photoshop cc 2014 (subscribe)
because there is a very good chance used versions or ones from ebay that say new but never used are pirated versions.

IE 8 and compatibility with Officejet J6480 All-in-one

I have the above Officejet J6480, connected via USB, XP operating system and earlier this year after installing IE 8 I found that the printer was not compatible. Therefore I went back to IE 7, and have been awaiting news from HP that the compatibility issue has been resolved, but I haven't heard anything. It would seem that installing IE 8 would be a good move if it is compatible with the printer.
Questions:
Is the Officejet J6480 now compatible with IE 8 assuming I have updated my printer software from the HP site?
If not, what do I need to do in order to use IE 8?
Is there any reason not to go to IE 8?
Thanks for your help....
