Which is the right operating system for Apple PowerBook G4

Hi I want to buy a Apple PowerBook G4 but the person is telling me that it does not have a operating system and I want to know which one is the right one to buy and also that is not expensive.

If you are planning on watching video's on the internet, you may be disappointed with that Powerbook. I have a 1.67Ghz Powerbook and it struggles to play streaming video's keeping audio and visual in sync with each other. Anymore, I recommend people get an Intel-based mac if one of the planned uses is internet video.
Here's one source for new, unopened mac software, although you may not like the price: http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/ .  If you look to buy thru an auction site, be aware that any gray-faced disk is a system disk that is locked to the system it shipped with. So, for example, an iMac OS X 10.4 disk won't work on a Powerbook. Best bet is to stay with black-faced retail disks.

    I downloaded the latest operating system for my iPhone 5.  It worked fine for about two minutes then the phone requested a password number to continue. Each time I inserted numbers, which were incorrect, the phone would lock up for a certain period of time.  Now, it says “iPhone is Disabled”.  It said to “Connect to iTunes” which I did, but iTunes does not recognize my phone.  If I scroll the face to the right, it goes to the phone number face and says, "No Service". Can I do something to make the phone work?

  • How, specifically, do I download the latest operating system for my Mac laptop?

    How, specifically, do I download the latest operating system for my Mac laptop?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

    Reset and start all over again.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4). Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version and not a model specific version (gray) (See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?.
    After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US

    You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide

    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
    Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

  • I have the Mac Os 10.4.11, and iTunes store will no longer come up on my screen to order tunes.  A download screen appears for the new iTunes. I can't download the new iTunes unless I get the new operating system for my mac.  Is there a way around this?

    I have an iMac with a 10.4.11 operating system.  When I click on iTunes Store, I no longer get the iTunes screen, instead, I get a new iTunes download screen.
    I can't download the new iTunes without upgrading my operating system.  Is there a way around this problem without buying the new operating system?
    I haven't been able to download songs for awhile now.

    which version of iTunes are you on ? if it's earlier than iTunes 9.2.1, get it here.

    Try connecting to iTunes and see if you can do a restore...first, though, have you tried a soft reset: hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts?

  • Which is the best operating system to update my MacBook Air?

    I've just invested in a brand new MacBook Air, and I'm wanting to get the best out of it, so is it worth updating my OS? and if so which is the best to buy? Thanks

    Apple products always come with the latest. Just set up yopur system, and the run software updates to get any late changes from Apple. iLife 2011 is also included with your MBA. If the question you are actually asking has to do with other software versus OS, that is a much bigger question, and would be dependent on what you intend to do with the system.
    On January 6th, the Mac App Store will go live, and make it very easy to find and load software.

  • My boyfriend purchased the new operating system for the mac book pro it was send to his email but we cant figure out how to get it and download it from the email

    how do we download our operating system purchase from our email it was sent to?

    You should have received a redemption code via email if you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion that would allow you to download the OS via the Mac App Store. If you purchased an earlier version it would come on discs, usually model-specific.
    Call back with some more information...

  • Operating system for ebusiness suite 12.1.3

    Hi All,
    Can anyone throw light on what are the parameters which need to be considered while recommending the right operating system (OS) for running Oracle ebs 12.1.3 and also propose any past experience on use of some OS's while running oracle ebs 12.1.3
    regards
    sathya sundar

    Hi;
    The App server is running on RedHat Linux 4.5 – 32 bits and the DB server is running on HP-UX 11.31 - 64 bits. As a part of the ebs upgrade to 12.1.3, the customer intends to migrate the DB server to a new OS and the app server from 32 Bit Linux to 64 Bit Linux.
    Can anyone throw light on what are the parameters and share experience which need to be considered while recommending the right operating system (OS) for running the DB server in this caseI assume you are already on R12.1.1 version. I belive its better to work on Same OS for apps+db tier.
