What software should i run on my g3 clamshell?

i have recently purchased a new 120 GB HD for my clamshell. before i swap HD's I wanted to make sure that my OS X Panther installation discs work, but sadly they are not. when i put the dis in the installation window pops up and tells me to restart my computer and the installation will begin; nothing happens upon restart. i have contacted the person i bought my laptop through about this but have received no response. i was thinking about purchasing an external hard drive to back up my new HD with my old software. but between purchasing the external HD and the software I will need to clone my existing HD, I figured it was probably easier and roughly the same price to purchase new software. i have done some research and found that the new OS Leopard doesn't run that well on older ibooks. so does anyone have any suggestions on what software I should run on my clamshell? should I just purchase panther or should I go with tiger?

Hello,
When the computer is restarting, try holding down the "c" after you hear the chime. This will force the computer to boot from the CD. Leopard won't run at all on the older ibook clamshell's. You need a minimum processor speed of 867mhz to officially install it. Tiger requires firewire connectivity to officially install. I'd recommend Panther. Tiger run's alright on the faster clamshells, i wouldn't run it on any of the clamshells within the 300mhz range though.

  • 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.

  • What software should I use to create a family budget?

    I use my Mac mostly for internet and word processing so I know I'm not touching 90% of the functionality. I want to create a household budget but the template in my ('09?) version of Numbers is not robust enough. Are there any suggestions on how to create a household budget? What software should I use? Thank you!

    There are dozens of apps designed to help with household budgets, but few are free. May I suggest you look for apps that have a free trial version, and try them out before spending money on something you may not like:

  • I need free network analyzer software for my mac. we are trying to monitor what software may be running which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem.what is recommended?

    My internet keeps 'tripping' at or around the same period time each day.  We have already replaced our modem from our internet provider and we bought a new airport extreme router. We do not believe these were the cause, although we have now ruled them out as a cause.  Everytime the internet fails, our internet provider company tells us that there is still plenty of signal coming into our house. There is something going on inside we believe, and a technician set up our Network Utility to run a continuous ping test to capture information about when it 'trips' againn.  Yesterday, it happened again, and when he checked the data out, he said he is sure there is something 'running in the background' on my IMac.  He advised me to download a free Network Analyzer so he could further investigate what is was that was causing the problem, so I need a free network analyzer software for my Mac. The issue has been going on for a long time, so it is not the new operating system, Lion. This morning, we changed the radio channel from 'auto' to 'manual' and set a new channel, hoping that might help. We are trying to find out what program may be running (even a tiny one in the background) which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem. What is free downloadable product is recommended?

    Will Activity Monitor and/or Network Utility, both already in the Utilities folder on your Mac, help in trying to diagnose the problem.
    If you are connecting via wifi what encryption are you using? If you're using the Exteme I doubt that you are using WEP, but worth checking as it seems Macs don't like it and work better using WPA.

  • What software should I purchase with my new imac?

    I'm in the market for an imac and will be switching from PC's which I've been using for 10 years (I have an original mac but that's another story). What software would you recommend I purchase at the outset? I'm thinking of Office 2004 but what else do I need? Do I need iLife? Thanks for your assistance!

    Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of the Mac!
    I just recently switched 2 months ago to the new iMac 20" and couldn't be happier!
    The keyboard and mouse are the best I've ever had (and I usually buy the custom built systems where I have kept my old keyboard since the 90's and my mouse is a trackball - nothing like it.
    I actually don't miss using them anymore.
    I have found widgets to be very useful and there are many free widgets on the web.
    I will concur that NeoOffice is the way to go.
    Right now, Microsoft Office 2004 is not free and does not run natively on the new intel processors for optimal performance.
    When Microsoft releases Office 2008 for the Mac, they will drop script support - which means no VBA - or more importantly - those Excel macros will not work.
    I found that the process of switching is much easier if you have an external hard drive because not only can you use it to transfer your files, but you also can use it as a backup for the times you download those many free apps.
    When OS X: Leopard arrives, you will enjoy it even more.
    I certainly do not miss the headaches of keeping the Norton Antivirus up to date, doing the weekly scans, worrying if I will wind up having to wipe my hard drive because of some adware - it happened to me - I don't ever wish to experience that ever again.
    Here's a tip from someone who switched - if you order online, you can select a software app at a discounted price.
    I managed to get Final Cut Express (normally $299) for $99 when I ordered my iMac.
    You mentioned iLife - it comes with every Mac for free.
    If you will be printing, be sure to look for a nice printer.
    If you will be scanning, look for a combo printer/scanner.

  • What software should I use to create one long movie out of several short clips?

    Hi, I'm not a future film maker.  I'm just trying to find the easiest way to stick a bunch of imported Quicktime movie clips into a single file.  Got to be an easier way than firing up iMovie and figuring that out.
    Thanks for your assistance with this n00b question.

    I'm just trying to find the easiest way to stick a bunch of imported Quicktime movie clips into a single file.  Got to be an easier way than firing up iMovie and figuring that out.
    It normally depends on what software you have available and how you plan to play the file. For 'drag 'n drop' ease I would probably use the free MPEG Streamclip app.
    1) Give the files to be joined alpha-numeric names indication the order in which you want them joined. (E.g., if you have 8 clips to join together, name them clip1, clip2, ..., clip8)
    2) Select and simultaneously 'drag 'n drop' all files to the open MPEG Streamclip wirk window.
    3) Play/scrub the playhead to ensure the clips are present and ordered as desired.
    4) Save the resulting file as required. Note: The "Save As..." option will quickly save the joined files to a new files container but, depending on audio and video compression formats used in the original clips, does not ensure all audio or all video ends up on the same audio and video tracks. If you want to ensure all all audio is flattened to single audio track and all video is flattened to a single video track, then you you may have to export the joined content. (I.e., some player apps like the TV only play one selected/defaulted audio and one video track at a time unlike apps like the QT 7 player which can simultaneously play up 99 audio and/or video tracks simultaneously.)

  • What hardware should I run OS X server on now?

    Hi!
    I have asked with Apple Store and I get no clear answer on this. I have a few clients that use only Mac clients, and some of them would be suitable candidate to run OS X Server for their file sharing, and group ware needs. One client are around 10 employees running an aging Windows Server that they want to replace. One obvious choice would be some Cloud service, but they want to have a local solution that isn't subscription based. I was going to offer them an OS X Server solution but I'm hesitant to what hardware to run it on! Now that the Mac Mini Server option, which was my obvious choice is gone, what would you recommend to run server on? Maxed out new Mini might do, 1TB drive, 8GB ram and Ci7 dual core with external storage? Or maybe an iMac with Ci7Quad core and 8-16GB RAM? I just think an iMac would look silly as a server, and the now gone mini Server had dual internal drives, perfect for cloning/mirroring...
    Mc Pro is too expensive and you get very little storage and very much graphics performance that isn't needed for the money. Sigh. Apple really made this hard to figure out...
    /Hasse

    Hi Hasse,
    A macmini should do fine for server purposes. Get one with 16GB memory (upgrading later on isn't an option) and a 256GB SSD. Depending on file sharing you should look into solutions presented by Promise Pegasus or LaCie 5BIG both with thunderbolt 2 connectivity. Connect that to a Gigabit Ethernet and you are good to go! An iMac will do as well, but performance wise there is no need to invest more than just for the screen. Unless you don't want it setup without any keyboard or a screen then a iMac will look lovely
    Get another external drive (twice the size of your current data at least) for backups and clone the SSD drive of the macmini on a daily basis towards the thunderbolt storage. And create a backup plan for the thunderbolt storage to another drive. That will work great! 
    Long story short: mac mini as fast as possible. And go for RAID storage for file sharing, you'll thank me later
    Goodluck
    Jeffrey
