What OS should I upgrade to from 10.0.3 so I can surf with my iBook?

I just got high speed DSL at home and want to browse the Internet on my 2001 model iBook.
I have the airport card working with our wireless connection and have just installed the most memory I can put on the iBook. However, OS 10.0.3 and Internet Explorer 5.1 Preview Version that shipped with the computer just aren't up to today's web. Pages are missing information and IE shuts down often.
What OS system can I safely upgrade to so that my iBook isn't overwhelmed? Can anyone recommend a browser (an earlier version of Firefox?) that will let me read the paper online in the morning?
Thanks!

OSX 10.2 "Jaguar", then free upgrade to 10.2.8 will open the doors while you can still have the same old look and feel ( 10.3.x introduces an ugly new metallifized Finder )
Jag is supported on your Book and takes not so much resources than Panther or Tiger ( most bloated OSX ever in my opinion ).
10.2.8 Runs Netscape 9,Firefox 2.0,Seamonkey,Opera 8.x,9x, Omniweb 4.5 and many many other actual Browsers.
You could even replace Apples Mail ( which has Junk-Filters in it ) with Thunderbird or any modern emailer.
It supports also the current Flash-Plugin, DIvx 5.2 and Java 1.4.1
Safari 1.0 is included in the 10.2.8 Update Package.
jaguar has ichat,isync,ical,imovie,iphoto included and can run later ilife editions up to version 04. itunes is supported up to version 6.0.5 which is all you need for podcasts and the music-store ( only Hi-Def Video,AppleTV,iphone and all those new stuff requires a later itunes ).
Jaguar is faster than Cheetah ( yours OSX 10.0.x ) or Puma ( 10.1.x ), has bundled lots more stuff and features ( like Rendezvous or built in Tablet / Handwriting support ) and is a solid base for lots of apps that are still around, Photoshop CS,CS2 or Microsoft Office x and 2004 for example .

Hi Mahesh,
For Sup II+ the latest 12.2 version on CCO is:
12.2.31-SGA11
cat4500-ipbase-mz.122-31.SGA11.bin
There is also IOS 15,
cat4500-ipbase-mz.150-2.SG7.bin
but maybe bugy. I would stay with 12.2xx for now.
for both images you need 64Mb flash and 256Mb memory.

What software should I upgrade to on an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.1 that is still capable with the computers hardware capabilities?

What software should I upgrade to on an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.1 that is still capable with the computers hardware capabilities?

The reason I ask is that I have just gotten an iPhone 4S and with the 10.4.1 software I'm running now, it doesn't allow my iTunes to update to the newer version. Therefore, being stuck with an older version of iTunes, it refuses to recognize the new iPhone and will only charge it rather then be able to add music to it.

Logic X - Weird Sample Rate Error - what Laptop should I upgrade to?

I have a MacBook Pro 13 - Mid 2009 (2.26 Core Duo) with 4GB Ram updated to Maverick to test of Logic X. I also have a iMac 3.2 Core i3 with 12 GB Ram running as Snow Leopard and Logic 9. Generally, the iMac doesn't have any issues with projects with lots of plugins; however, the laptop would sometimes choke up on Logic 9 on projects that had lots of third party plugins. I didn't update the Imac because I didn't want to deal with the loss of 32 bit plugins (update **** as I call it)
After updating to Mavericks and running 32 Lives (to resurrect my lost 32 bit plugins), The laptop now will not play a project that has 6 midi tracks and a single audio bass track. I get a weird error that the sample rate is 32456 or some arbitrary number. I updated the Core driver (Line6 Guitarport), but that didn't help. Sample rate was set to 128 (on Logic 9 it is usually set at 64). I then tried upped it to 512 and it seems to work OK, but I thought that Logic X was supposed to be less demanding due to running 64 bit? Any ideas what is up? I really don't want to run the audio at 512 due to the high latency.
After going back and forth, I'd rather update the iMac to the newest version (a quad i7 with the 3GB Fusion) than a new laptop - spending $3000 for a laptop just seems plain nuts, especially since I would only use it infrequently (I use my iPad for browsing on the go).
Anyway, what used laptop should I upgrade to that will run Logic X without having to pony up $3000 for a Quad Core i7 with 16 GB rams? I also need a laptop that I can upgrade the HD to 1TB SSD.
Big thanks. Love this web site.

The sample rate is not 128 or so, you probably mean the buffer size...
But the performance drop makes sense: switching between a 64 bit process and 32 bit doesn't come free: it cost performance and creates a jitter, which also either shows as performance lost or instability.
You really have to move away from outdated 32 bit AudioUnits, sorry. Ask the vendors to finally release 64 bit versions, it has been several years since 64 bit is available.

Should I upgrade JRE from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2?

Hi,
We have a bnuch of JDBC-oriented Java applications, that do a lot of string manipulation and database queries (using JDBC) as well as using JDOM to process XML. There are around 20 applications and they run 24 hours/day and send messages to each other via JMS (which uses a separate commercial J2ee application).
I am considering upgrading the entire 'system' of applications from 1.4.1_05 to 1.4.2 simply to be 'supported' if a minor patch update is required - as was recently for the commonwealth games in Australia.
Although I've read the list of changes and the bug fixes between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2, I'm not too comfortable updating without hearing about other experiences and/or general advice from people who actually create these releases.
My thoughts on the upgrade path (eventually to 1.5) is to upgrade the system of 20 or so applications to start using 1.4.2 JVM - while the classes remain 1.4.1 compiled.
And if that works, and we're in 'supported' zone, we can later down the track move to 1.5 and recompile all the applications under 1.5.
That is to say, I feel that there is some unwanted risk in trying to recompile everything to 1.4.2 now. The applications are all up and running 24 hours a day so I need to minimise disruptions.
Does this sound reasonable? I can appreciate the desirability of running the same JVM that compiled the classes but should that really make any difference between minor versions? Isn't the basic purpose of minor releases to avoid compability problems but to provide various essential fixes and features? (I know minor release are no longer planned).
In other words, from what I understand, upgrading just the JRE from 1.4.1 to 1.4.2. should be a no brainer and practically without any risk at all. Is this how it's supposed to be in theory?

I'd like to chime in and just say that not everyone is having a bad experience. From being completely new to OS X Server, I've been relatively pleased with everything so far. I'm starting from scratch and not doing anything too crazy with Directory Services or Kerberos or anything, but I do have iCal Server up and running along with the wiki and File Sharing.
I will say the iCal settings are cluttered and a little confusing to wrap your mind around but it is definitely possible to get working. I haven't had any of the aforementioned AFP problems. It seems like most (not all) people are having problems when the Open Directory node is not the Master node, or when people have upgraded from 10.4 instead of a fresh install.
If you're looking to start a new service, like Final Cut Server, I'd say go for it. If you have a solid 10.4 install right now, I'd say wait until 10.6 and start from scratch unless you NEED 10.5 for something, but that goes for ANY program or operating system, not just OS X.

I have iMAC 11,2 with OS 10.68 what OS should I upgrade to?

what is best OS upgrade option?

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         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?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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.

Should I upgrade (purchase) from 10.4 server to 10.5?

We have a simple setup. Not using mail server, home directories, web server. Mainly file sharing and FTP. Have a couple simple shared folders with permissions setup, not using ACL's as I heard they can be difficult to "get right".
So the question is, does Leopard Server improve the manageability (ease of) over 10.4.
Why do I need Leopard Server?
BTW, how does the iCal Server work? Good or Bad

What version should I upgrade to?

I am currently using Premiere RT 5.1. I know, I know, it's ancient. Before anyone gets on my case, I did do this as a career once. I went to film school, interned and learned how to edit using a Matrox computer and Premiere software. After I left that job, I changed my direction, settled down and became a full-time mom. I have dabbled in video projects since once or twice a year to make extra money. I bought a used system from a former client that's 10 years old. At this point in our lives, money for groceries is scarce enough, so I'm not anywhere near purchasing the newest version of Premiere. But I can't keep going on like this. I've spent 3 full days trying to edit together a simple video of my son's preschool Christmas program. It should have taken me 3 hours. I'm now switching to a cheap consumer software just to be able to finish it.
My question is this: Should I purchase the new Premiere Elements or an older version of Pro on ebay. The little bit of money that I should make on DVD's from the other parents should be able to give me that choice. I hate to go down to a consumer version of editing, but I assume having Premiere Elements is still eons better than 5.1. Is there someone that has used all of the above and can tell me what I'll be losing if I go with Elements? My 10 year old editing computer is currently running on Windows 2000, and has many quirks (like sometimes not turning on). But I can usually deal through those. For little projects, I like using my laptop, so I can watch my kids. I'm on Vista with it (a limited, cheap laptop). I don't think I would mind keeping 5.1 on the edit computer, since the whole system is ancient anyway. But the laptop needs something newer.
Also, does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to using a big soundboard? Again, I can't afford a new soundboard. But is there some sort of 2-4 input cheap version just to be able to hook up my few components? I would like to have some brand/model names to look for used on ebay. I believe my soundboard has officially moved to the paperweight category. Is there anyone that recycles these?
Thank you for your help!

I've used both PrPro (now up to 2.0), and PrE 4. I use a laptop, but it's built for NLE and Photoshop work. For final color and gamma correction, I still take images, and video to my workstation.
One caveat for a new laptop: the more physical HDD's, that you can get, the better. In my Sager (really an extreme gaming laptop, configured for NLE work), I have 3x 200GB SATA II's, and not many laptop vendors offer more than one HDD. Two would be the absolute minimum, and three would be even better. Because I transfer Projects between the laptop and the workstation, I use FW-800 external HDD's, with all Project, media, Scratch Disks, etc., on those. Each has a unique drive letter assigned on both the OS of the laptop and the workstation, so that Z:\ is always Z:\ on all computers.
Now, back to the two programs: I really like PrPro, and find the "big button" approach of PrE to not be my thing. Still, I use it for small Projects. It offers limited DVD-Video authoring, but I always use Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0 (my version), and note that Encore is now bundled with PrPro.
Since you are beyond the upgrade path, on Premiere, you are looking at a big price difference, unfortunately.
I've also followed the trials and tribulations of PrE 8, to which John alludes. PrE 7 seemed much more stable, but that is just from reading, as I have used neither. It seems that PrE 8 requires much more power, than does PrE 7.
I also second John's comments on eBay. It seems that almost all copies of Adobe programs there are pirated copies. Some will run, partially, but usually not without issues. They also cannot be registered, or Activated (in the case of PrPro). Be very wary, and demand that any seller provide you with the full official transfer of license paperwork from Adobe. Adobe makes it very easy to do, with legit software. Demand that paperwork, and then verify with Adobe. Most sellers will put you off, and make excuses for why there is no transfer paperwork. This is usually done by FAX, so there is NO reason for them to not have it. Also, with PrPro, there is no OEM software, and most pirates will claim that is what they are selling.
Good luck,
Hunt

What Mac should I upgrade/update to if I'm using CC Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator?

I've been using a 24" iMac (originally purchased in mid-2006) to do graphic design with Adobe Creative Cloud, primarily Photoshop, Indesign, and Illustrator. I am also starting to do some very ametuer video prep (like iMovie) etc. With just Photoshop and Indesign alone, what is the minimum Mac I should upgrade to, if I am still concerned about performance, but budget and mobility could come into play too? For instance would the 13.3" Mac Book Pro with Intel Graphics be sufficient for doing my usual print design, with a little iMovie thrown in? At that price, I could afford a big display to plug into when I am at my office desk.
I like the idea of mobility (which I haven't had before with the big iMac), but don't want to notice a horrible lag in performance if I get a weaker machine. The guy at PeachMac said that when it came to display the Retina (in the Macbook Pro, 13.3 in edition) made a high difference despite the lack of a dedicated graphics processor. I don't do heavy-duty, memory-intensive graphics work but about once every two years anyway, and my iMac only has 2GB of RAM to begin with. I just want to make sure that true designers who have switched from older iMac machines to Macbook Pro's (not the most expensive models) didn't regret it when trying to run Photoshop, et al.
(My absolute budget is "no more than $2,000" which is why I am considering the new iMac vs. the MacBook Pro 13.3" and getting a nice external display.)
Thanks!

My MBP 13" Mid 2010 indicate "Service Battery", What step should i take apart from visiting apple store?

the Service Battery Message has been appearing after i upgraded to OS x Lion from Snow Leopard. Tried reinstalling the previous OS but could not fix the problem.
Am asking what to do to solve this situation. I can follow the instructions and do the process myself instead of taking it to apple store.

But My Battery Cycle is only clocking 415. When fully charged. i can use it for some hours with power code removed BUT the moment i close the lid for it to sleep, it turns off instead.

I have the Actiontec MI424 Router and 50/25 plan. What router should i upgrade to?

Should i get the Apple Extreme? or something else?

I have no personal experience with the Apple routers. I hear good things about them. There are lots of other good routers and access points out there. It really depends on your budget and needs. There are plenty of places on the web to get reviews of routers.
Good luck!

HT1444 I am running Mac OS 10.4.11, what OS should I upgrade to?

I have a very old MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.4.11. I want to upgrade the OS but not sure what is recommended. I mainly use the Mac for internet and photos. Processor 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 1 GB 667 MHz RAM

This system can run the last version of OS X 10.7 "Lion" if upgraded to at least 2 GB of RAM. However, although it has a 64-bit processor, it has a 32-bit EFI and is not capable of booting into 64-bit mode. It does not support "OpenCL" either.

What OS should I upgrade to?

I have a MacBook that I use primarily for personal e-mail, surfing the net, and document creation, etc. I utilize MS Office 2008 for MAC, since I interface with a lot of people using PCs. I'm running into compatibility issues, such as not being able to install print drivers for a new printer we acquired, due to OS not being supported.
I am currently running MAC OS X version 10.5.8 on:
Model Name:          MacBook
Model Identifier:          MacBook4,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          2 GB
Bus Speed:          800 MHz
I have never upgraded an operating system and am not sure of the steps to take. Advice on which version to upgrade my OS to and guidance on steps to take to successfully accomplish the upgrade would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

The MacBook 4,1 can be upgraded to OS X 10.7.5, no higher. That said I'd recommend upgrading to 10.6.8 as it will run better in your 2gb of ram. Upgrading the ram in the older MacBooks can be pretty expensive but yours can be upgraded to as much as 6gb. If you chose to upgrade the ram then I might suggest 10.7.5.
You can purchase 10.6 from Apple here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
