Upgrading os 10.2.8 to 10.5 on blue and white G3

i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to upgrade os 10.2.8 to 10.5 on my
G3, ex. how much ram, do i need to upgrade a processor, graphics card etc...

Hi, seven1008 -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
What specific model G4 do you have? The designation "Power Mac G4 version 2.1" is insufficient to identify it, since v. 2.1 has been used for several models, including both Quicksilver and MDD machines. The CPU (machine) speed can help narrow it down. This Apple KBase article can help identify it -
Article #42739 - Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models (part 2)
...I get a "the software can not be installed in this computer" message.
That message is often returned when a disk set that came with a machine is used on a different model. The disk sets that come with a machine are usually specific to that model; they do not have a universal installer, so rarely are able to install on a different model.
You should be using a retail (separately purchased) disk set for Tiger (OSX 10.4).

Connected to a Dell 1525 laptop via usb cable

Unplug the printer, and uninstall it. Then download the Windows 7 CP1215 plug and play driver package from www.hp.com. Install the printer using that package.

Can I upgrade my Power Mac G3 (Blue and White) to USB 2.0?

I have a B&W G3 (300 Mhz) and a slot loading iMac ((600Mhz) both running 10.3.9. My daughter is looking into buying an iPod Nano which requires USB 2.0 How do I know whether either machine is USB 2.0 compatible ? If not can a USB 2.0 card be installed ?
thanks

Currently you only have USB 1.1. To get USB 2.0, you need to install a USB 2.0 PCI card. However, not all USB PCI cards work in a Mac. Best bet is any card with a NEC PD72101 chipset (xlr8yourmac results recommend the same).Read this for more feedback:

All of these Cards are NEC chipset based

Upgrading a blue and white g3

Is it ok to have more than one video card installed on a blue and white g3, version 2? I have been trying unsuccesfully to install tiger, but the video card that is in there now supports my dvd-rom, and the other one dosen't, and someone said I should try a different video card. So if I have the other one in (no dvd-rom support) will I still beable to use my dvd-rom?

Apple dropped Hardware-assisted DVD movie playback at about version 2 of DVD Player. So you can freely use whatever Apple-supplied (and essentially identical retail ATI) display card you like.
Macs have supported multiple display cards since the Mac II. It is very elegant. It gives you an Extended Desktop made up of the concatenation of the two displays.

Also, my other tablet - Samsung TabS - has same issue - calendar wont sync. My IPhone and my desktop (windows) synch just fine.
Google calendar syncs on all devices. Totally stumped. Ideas anyone?
THANKS

1.      Log onto Outlook Web Access
2.      Top right hand part of the screen select "Options"
3.     Select "See All Options"
4.      Select "Phone" menu
Check if you have 10 Devices registered.
If you have, you need to delete one of them to add your new Smart Phone to Exchange for synching
Check the "Last Sync Time" to indicate if this device is still active or not.

After upgrading to Firexfox 35.0 all vine videos, instagram videos and some webplayer videos dont work anymore.

After upgrading to Firexfox 35.0 all vine videos, instagram videos and some webplayer videos dont work anymore.
I get messages like:
ERROR 1
-Error Loading Media: File Could Not Be Found
http://i.imgur.com/5OaxOFC.jpg
ERROR 2
-Video can't be played because file is corrupt.
http://i.imgur.com/cqRpJOp.jpg
Before I start, I will like to point out some things Ive tried already so this doesnt end up being a back and forth of things already tried.
*Ive uninstalled adobe flash player
*Ive tried the whole
media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to false or to true
*Ive gone into safe mode and nothing
*Ive tried toggling off the plug-ins to see if anything I have problems with works. Nothing.
All the media that plays from different various players:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IXmV6A6Bk
http://bestanimes.tv/mushishi-zoku-shou-2nd-season-episode-10/
http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed <-- 2 embedded videos that both play.
All the media that wont play:
http://www.jwplayer.com/ <---- that front page video : I get ERROR 1 for this
http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA <--- I get ERROR 1 for this
And every vine and instagram video. Since I will be asked to post something from it here is something from vine and something from instagram
https://vine.co/v/OqxKQBJd3lm <---- I get a still image
http://instagram.com/p/up3CG6ooDP <----- I get error 2 if I go into page info and click the media tab and look for the video.
All my enabled plugins:
http://i.imgur.com/9fCZ1s2.jpg
Everything on my permissions even on the pages of the media I cant play is set to : Use Default.
Now, I thought this was just some kind plug-in problem, I even thought it was just something with the updated made Firefox incompatible with some of the webplayers. Of course I found out this was wrong. Keep on reading:
If your flash plugin crashes or if you terminate/end process in the Task manager, your video will be replaced by this grey message:

http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed
http://www.jwplayer.com/
http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA
Now, all these videos I listed before, If I had them all open in tabs and then proceeded to terminate my flash plugin in Task Manager, they would all be replaced by that grey message window that the plugin crashed.
Now, after I updated firefox to 35.0, if I did the same thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7IXmV6A6Bk
http://bestanimes.tv/mushishi-zoku-shou-2nd-season-episode-10/
http://www.watchcartoononline.com/mushishi-episode-26-english-dubbed
These three would show that grey message and these are the ones I can play
But these 2 the ones I have a problem with.
http://www.jwplayer.com/
http://videomega.tv/?ref=AJWOLaJQKbbKQJaLOWJA
they wont even be affected by it. Its like they arent even using the flash plugin.
Whenever I would terminate/end process my plugin from my task manager in 34.0 EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING would not work including every vine video and instgram video, it would either show that grey message that says the plugin crashed or it would not work. They would all work again when I refreshed the page. Everything, in 34.0 in my firefox was using the flash plugin.
Now, as I stated above I thought it was just some kind of webplayer and firefox 35.0 conflict that was causing these problems.
Until I saw this:

http://i.imgur.com/gCaUMXm.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/V9w7ulS.jpg
http://www.jwplayer.com/
http://i.imgur.com/dqZtoTX.jpg
They are both using the same exact webplayer. THE SAME ONE.
I can play the first one
but the video in the front page of http://www.jwplayer.com/ I cant play it.
Which brings me to my final conclusion.
The reason I cant play some that fron page video of http://www.jwplayer.com/
videos from videomega.tv
and instagrams and vines
IS because of their file extension, their file types.
I went to the firefox options and clicked the Applications tab:
http://i.imgur.com/uWWKelX.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/HYBjwdZ.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/IK4C2WR.jpg
Shouldnt all those video file types be in : Use Shockwave Flash (in Firfox) instead of : Always ask
When I try to toggle it to something else I dont even get the option to use Shockwave Flash
http://i.imgur.com/gTH18S1.jpg
In Conclusion, what gives??
-In 34.0 Everything worked.
-If I terminated/ended process the Flash plugin in 34.0 everything would be affected by it , either by not working anymore or showing me that grey crash message.
-This all started when I upgraded to 35.0
-Has nothing to do with webplayer conflicting with 35.0 as proven above.
-The reason for all of this not working is the type of video extension they have. Judging from the examples I gave of the things I cant play, it would seem I cant play mp4, flv and whatever vine uses. Which I think its mp4 as well.
Anyways, how do I fix all this so it works like it did before I upgraded to 35.0

I looked at that but it only shows for Windows 8.1 , 8.0 , 7 , i have Vista , 64 bit Ultimate , would the Windows 7 one work ?? , or am i out of luck ?
And what plug-in icon in the address bar ?? , i don't see anything that pertains to any plug-ins
This is a example of one of the videos i was trying to watch , basically when you click the arrow in the center , it just goes away for a second then comes back and the video never plays , it just sits there , in the lower left corner i see a small popup that says javascript;

I upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?

I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro - unable to open iPhoto and Photo Booth

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (bought in 2011). Since the Yosemite upgrade, I have been unable to open both iPhoto and Photo Booth at all. I have lots of photos and need to access them. Both icons of iPhoto and Photo Booth have a circle with a bar across them, in my dock.
When I click on iPhoto I get the message " In order to open “iPhoto”, you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store". I have tried upgrading iPhoto on the App store but get an error message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" .
Since I cannot even view my photos, I cannot store them elsewhere. Please, can someone help me resolve this problem!!!
For Photo Booth, when I click on it, it says "You can’t use this version of the application “Photo Booth” with this version of OS X. You have Photo Booth 3.0.3" - gives me no option to upgrade at all.
Would appreciate help for both iPhoto and Photo Booth issues described above, with iPhoto being the most pressing concern. Thank You.

The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
are you PC or Mac?

I have recently upgraded my iBookG4 from Tiger to Leopard 10.5.8 and find my Bluetooth USB adaptor no longer connects. The Bluetooth pane says inactive. Does Leopard require USB 2.0. I've had the adaptor for some time so may be USB 1.0

Bluetooth icon on menu bar shows bluetooth off. When opening bluetooth preferences it shows the devices I've connected previously,( my mobile phone), and other devices I've attempted to connect but not very successfully: my iPhone and MiniMac. The bluetooth dongle in the USB port shows a continual blue light but does not react and the iBook does not recognise that it is there. There is absolutely no reaction when I try to pair my mobile phone, which I've done successfully before upgrading to Leopard, either by the iBook or the mobile phone.
I assumed that Tiger was not bluetooth compatible with the iPhone or MacMini running SnowLeopard and hoped by upgrading to Leopard I could achieve some file transfers between the three devices (iBook, iPhone and MacMini)

PAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore. Just get an Apple Logo then a flashing blue screen as if it is caught booting up. This has happened twice before and iTunes restore fixed it. But this time device not appearing in iTunes.
Running iTunes for PC. But as stated restore has worked before! Any help greatly appreciated!!

Place the device in DFU mode and let iTunes restore the device to factory condition.

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

Recently, iTunes upgraded. My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync. The troubleshooting talks about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible) No other options and nothing about windows 8

Recently, iTunes upgraded. My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync. The troubleshooting talks about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible) No other options and nothing about windows 8

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.
