Will Apple help me get Panther back?

Hi,
I recently had to do a complete wipe of my five-year-old dual USB iBook after a leaf count error (no idea what that means, just that the disk utility and fsck couldn't do crud for it). I saved what I could on an external HD and now I'm looking to rebuild my system. The problem: I can't get back to my former OS (10.4). The reason for this is, my 10.4 state of bliss was due to an upgrade DVD that my then-partner used on my computer, running 10.3 at the time. Why did I have 10.3? Well, I sure didn't purchase it! Back in the day, I actually sent my iBook in under AppleCare for the notorious logic board repair/replace a couple years ago and it came back with 10.3 installed, gratis! Very cool...except now I have no disk for it. I DO have the upgrade DVD for Tiger, but that won't work while I'm running Jaguar (10.2).
Will Apple help me out with this if I, say, take it to a Genius bar? I know I just got lucky with the AppleCare upgrade, but I've been running my life around 10.4 for awhile now and 10.2 feels like the stone-age. Is there any way I can convince them to help me restore it back to its former Tiger self?
(by the way, my computer is still beeping to itself occassionally...I'm just going to try to ignore that sound).

HI, Andrea. More or less by accident, Apple has allowed you to use Panther and then Tiger on a trial basis at no charge for some time. Your next step is to buy one of them yourself. You aren't owed another free copy of either.
If the Tiger DVD your ex-partner used on your machine was an upgrade-only disc, it may have been offered at a deep discount to buyers of new Macs who purchased them with Panther installed, but after Tiger had been released. I got a Panther upgrade installer of the same kind on that basis a couple of years ago, when I bought a new Powerbook with Jaguar installed on it after Panther was introduced. The license for the software on that disc allows it to be installed on one and only one Mac.
In any event, you need to pony up for a retail installer of the OS you want.

Verify that your domain file is located in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder which will be invisible. However,
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
Next:
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
Since iWeb has discontinued by Apple the new systems don't handle the iWeb preference pane as it was in earlier. The script corrects that situation and once you open the domain file the first time you can just use iWeb to open it from there on. However, you'll need it if you plan on using more than one domain file. And adhear to the warning above.

HT5538 i can't find the facetime on my iphone i was using it before 1 month after that it's just disappear i need your help to get it back . thank you

hello everyone i need your help please
i can't find the facetime on my iphone i was using it before 1 month after that it's just disappear i need your help to get it back .
thank you

FACETIME MISSING
The governments in some middle eastern countries have banned Facetime and it is disabled on iphones purchased in those countries. The countries include KAS, UAE and others. There is no way to get Facetime on such phones (for example it cannot be downloaded and installed) and taking the phone to another country does not cause Facetime to reappear on such phones. In support.apple.com/kb/ts3367 it says “Note: FaceTime may not be available, or may become unavailable, on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Check your device's region of purchase for more information.”

If my screen is cracked but im having other issues, will apple help me?

I've had a cracked screen for a while but recently my side button wont let me put it on vibrate, my top button doesnt work, and there's a constant light coming from the camera on the back. Will apple help me fix it or do I have to wait for my upgrade?

Apple's fix will consist of replacing your iPhone with a refurbished one, at a cost to you of about half that of a new model. This assumes they accept yours for that program but I have not heard of any instances in which they refused.

Dear Sir or Madam，
I am a student in China, I really need your help, my iphone now problems bothers me! HELP ME PLEASE!!!
As I bought my iPhone 4s(16GB,White) in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax, unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in China using local carrier.Now I am in China, not the normal use of the phone, I rely on odd jobs to earn, very not easy, English is not my mother tongue, maybe there are many grammatical mistakes, I hope you'll forgive me! Mobile phone can not be used normally I am very sad, I can not contact the parents and friends, can not let them worry about me, I've tried all means, including the upgrade to 6.1, but still can not solve the problem, I think maybe I am in China, so can not be used normally, at this moment I am very anxious, because of the time difference, it is later I can send mail, you can see it, please help me, a Chinese student's request!
I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

We are not Apple, and Apple does not unlock phones. Sprint will unlock phones, but you have to qualify. One of the qualifications is to have been a customer in good standing for a period of time. You can check their website for what that is. After that, they can unlock the GSM side of the phone for International use, that is it. If you are on a CDMA carrier, then it cannot be unlocked. Are you trying to use a local SIM card in China?
Your only option is to contact Sprint to see if you qualify for an unlock. Only they can unlock it. Sprint is one of the poorest choices to take to another country.

Will Apple help me install Otterbox Defender on ipad2?

The OtterBox Screen protector is built into the case. You don't apply it like you apply a ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protector. It is part of the case. On my iPhone, I have a screen protector with an OtterBox Defender Case on it and the touch screen is very responsive and works fine.
Maybe this will be of some help. There are links to YouTube videos here that show how to place the iPad into the OtterBox Defender case.

Will Apple help us with ATT rate hikes? Who do I contact?

Just a few months ago - and at the time I entered into my 2 year contract - unlimited textings was avaialble for less that 5 dollars more. But that is now gone and what has taken its place is just Dick Channey crazy!
Wasnt the whole point of APPLE insisting that phone plans all come with unlimited internet so that this would encourage the owners to fully integrate the iphone in to their daily lives? Does having huge rate increases in texting help that cause ?
MY QUESTION TO APPLE and its user forums - WHO do I contact at apple or at ATT for help on this issue??
Thats what I want in a nutshell. If you want, I can tell ya more.
Harry
iphone, ipod and shuffle owner
MORE is this...........................
I do understand the nature of big business and partnerships etc.
I do understand that Apple would like to not be involved in disputes between ATT and its customers.
I GET THAT. But can Apple help me anyway just for the reason that I WANT TO KEEP MY IPHONE?!?!?
ATT has implemented monsterous rate hikes and LIMITATIONS on package combinations so that iphone users will pay as much or more for Texting than they do for unlimited internet.
We had to live with unlimited internet not including unlimited texting. OK fine, thats how it was when we signed up and you have to take it or leave it. But now with the new changes in rates - here is what the iphone user has as their options.
200 included texts for free
or
$5 - get 200 more - 400 texts total
or
THE NEXT OPTION - $20 MORE, for not unlimited but 1500 texts.
Does having to keep an eye on your text totals or paying at least $85 / month sound like the vision that apple wanted for the iphone users?
if it doesnt, WILL YOU HELP US?

I didnt forget that - its I dont know that statement to be true.
I have been with ATT since Cingular and I've had internet,text and MMS combo packages for some time now; that Includes shopping around for the right phone and plans combo. And I know for a fact that there were MANY combos of unlimited and they were FAR from 50 bucks.
There certainly might be a webpage or two with some ancient pricing plans offered. And I am sure that any one of those would be superceeded by another new price offer on the same plan.
so I didnt forget that; I knew it to be not on point.

welcome to forum,
please remove caps in a future posts.
where you get this A7032VMS.370 ??
as i can see there no such version on MSI site for your mobo:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=648&kind=1
"THE KOMPUTER WAS GREAT UNTIL CHANGE BIOS"
don't think that your problem will be solved by BIOS update. you have to ask about your problem 1st, and not to try to fix yourself.
anyway what is done is done, cannot roll back the time.
that message:
"THERE NO HARD DISK RESTART""
few variants:
there is no HDD detected,(no power cable or data cable, or mistyped jumper configuration) no property boot device configured, or there is no active partition on HDD which you have tried to boot from.
BIOS update will not help with that for sure.
Read Moan Guide
about recovery read this:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=99371.msg720224#msg720224
if no luck you should read this also:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=101777.msg743246#msg743246
when your mobo is back to live, will solve your 1st problem, but unfortunately you have much worse problem now.
keep us updated.

Will apple help me put my hdd?

I'm thknking of getting a new hdd to replace my old one. i have nevet opened a laptop before so i'm not confident. eould apple help me do it if i take it yo the store? i just need someone to guide me what to do as i sm not confident.
also, which tools would i need?

I recentlly installed a HD. It was not difficult given the simple instructions. The main thing to watch out for is to keep track of which screws came from which holes and to replace them in the same positions. That is not hard. These toolkits will help with the installation.
